They definitely don't care enough to notice she didn't eat anything. She should have just feigned illness as an excuse

 

[Alyyyy]

I love the art so much, the style is so unique and sparkly

 

[Pokari]

How is that so darn many of these recycle this "hunting competition" concept...?

 

[Tellatez]

oh yes, the hunting competition arc was so much fun to read in the novel but it will happen in season 2.

 

[dawned]

Yyyeeeeeaaass I love whenever the hunting competition arc pops up in these stories

 

[Psychronia]

Good Emily. She's just earned the most trust in this whole damn game and she tried to feed Penelope rotten food.

 

[Roofy2004]

Umm... The scene of the 3 of them sitting looking at her waiting.. IS FREAKING OVERWHELMING

 

[ourladyroselynn]

TRUST ME Y’ALL ARE GONNA LOVE THE HUNTING COMPETITION.

 

[Candyflake]

Internal screaming YASSSSSSS! Finally the hunting competition thing.

 

[KaelRhain]

@Pokari it was a common practice on some places for royalty and/or high status people on the medieval period, like a sport.

 

[Pokari]

@KaelRhain:

Hunting was a common leisure sport for the nobility, yes.

However, a specific plotline based around a (usually annual or less frequent) grand hunting competition, with a lot of honour placed on winning and often more political intrigue than seems likely for a leisure sport or competition (even amongst the nobility), generally with girls giving charms to the men they favour and/or the winning man gracing one favoured woman of his choice a the end—it's recycling that plot device, not the general omnipresence of competitive hunting per se, that what I was being arch about.

I'm not even particularly upset about it or anything, just felt when I was writing it that it was at risk of becoming the sort of fantasy-shoujo-manwha equivalent of, say, the inescapable onsen or beach episodes in more traditional romcom manga, except perhaps even further divorced from reality.

 

[KaelRhain]

@Pokari by this point isekais are full of inescapable tropes, so i get you, is kinda annoying and detracts that authors cant think out of the box, even more when they portrait a fantasy world, and then add all the japanese culture on it or copy all other mangas of the same genere, its like wth

 

[Roann]
