Maou to Yuusha no Tatakai no Ura de - Vol. 3 Ch. 13 - Considerations and Preparations VI

[Rozzak]

It's a large merchant that already trained their staff on who he is and what he looks like. You don't grow into a large business that's able to go to the palace by scamming people.

The merchant knows about the stampede, chapter implies the merchant also knows it was a near disaster, and MC implies the merchant has at least heard rumors of the Demon king.

"There is no point to profit if there isn't anywhere to spend it." Sure the merchant could scam the heroic student and doom the country.

Not to mention that until very recently in human history charging more than a good was worth was considered unfathomable. Being an unscrupulous merchant was liable to end in swift death.

BL? I barely knew him!

Re: credits page-- when has showing interest in women ever stopped BL?

Thanks for the release!

Pour one out for the fujos.

Page 10 the panel with Felix "into card" i'm i the only for who the panel is giving some Link vibes ? (maybe the pointy hat ?) i mean he look likes some sort of more adult and mischievous Link, i'll admit i haven't played legend of Zelda in like 20 years tho so...

 

[yarrayora]

I definitely see the resemblance, though Feli's design is actually inspired from Peter pan. Could be a case of both, tbh

thanks for the chapter!!!

the credits page is hilarious lol XD

 

[cryum]

History has no shortage of people who royally screwed over a lot of other people for their own benefit/amusement, and so my point still stands.

I don't think the merchant is physically joining the trip, so he has a certain amount of vested interest not dying in the capital to monsters.

 

[Rozzak]

So the original game must’ve released in the early 90s. Since his comment that if the game had been released later Felix might’ve been a girl. So it’s pre-trap era, pre-galge boon.

 

[Ncararc]

Always good to see an mc with sense. Don't let any single group be the sole source of information; let the merchants, mercenaries and adventurers do complementary roles. If one group does something shady, or doesn't mesh with the other groups, mc can find out quickly.

 

[cryum]

This was a good chapter, they did well to show how much that meant to Felix without revealing each other's cards.

 

[yoshiii]

Wasn't expecting to be called out on the credits page. It's ok, dreams already shattered.

As long as they're happy!

Regardless of whether he physically joins the trip or not, the question remains as to how it all factors into his self-interest. Only a few (part-)chapters ago we had nobles pushing their toddlers and grandmothers onto the hero, all to his detriment and for their own personal interest. If the merchant believes that it is in his best interests (and within his ability) to screw over the country, he may very well do so. Even the comment before yours seems to miss the point: Unscrupulous people have existed since the dawn of time, the only question is whether their self-interest calculus will manifest it or not. Even over the internet, seemingly ordinary people can become instant jerkwads simply because they believe they have anonymity (and impunity).

Honestly I thank God that he’s showed interest (be it surface level or not) in women. BL can just burn. Fudoshi are fucking crazy & the few times I’ve talked to some of them were disasters.
The old idiom of “don’t stick your dick in crazy“ is like that for a reason!

 

[tekkenshu7]

Thanks for the new chapter!

Looks like MC just got himself another loyal and probably sincere follower and friend.

But they aren't complete strangers. This is a known party who is familiar with the MC's father and MC himself made a big purchase with. And MC reported the entire project to the royalty, which means exceptional oversight even if there isn't a system of audits in this particular kingdom.

And the mercenaries were directly hired by MC instead of the merchants. With scouts all over the place.

 

[Cernunnos]

I expected Feli to look even younger than this for some reason lol.
I always imagined him to look like a shota.

Doesn't matter. If someone wants to do shitty stuff and believes he can get away with it, he will. Our politicians are all public figures, with laws governing their activities, in a government with checks and balances, and yet happens all the time.
