Yarikonda Otome Game no Akuyaku Mob desu ga, Danzai wa Iya nanode Mattou ni Ikimasu - Vol. 3 Ch. 13

[WillTell]

But then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

 

[Elhao]

So now, whenever we see someone battling monsters in this manga, remember that these beings are capable of sentience and even communication on human levels. Author casually opened Pandora's Box regarding ethical questions later on.

 

[lswgamer]

Still a better love story than Twilight

 

[unnamederror]

wait what? i feel deja vu, i've already read it somewhere else aren't i?

 

[lolfacesayshi]

"That's a story for another time"

And that other time is now. We need that story now. I care about these cats more than a training montage.

 

[packnerz]

Rental Girlfriend should be embarrassed due to this chapter.

 

[yoolee]

And just like that I am suddenly somehow more invested in the future happiness of a slime and a monster cat that I’ve known for fewer than 20 pages than I am the main couples of some series that have gone one for 20 chapters….

 

[Ninoren]

I'm so confused.. is that the wrong manga ? (Since it also says chapter 5 in one panel) 😐

 

[Kuroku]

i pray i see more of this cat x slime romance.

maybe ridd will take them in as pets or smthn? if he does ill be happy, familliar backstories never get explored in most isekai

And even when that is their main focus they still shaft the familiar aspect in some major way

 

[AbDEXTer]

Why are they doing everything to make the series longer and to delay the meeting between the MC and the presumed FL? It makes no sense and has no relevancy either, I'm close to dropping it

 

[Kefrayba]

Looks like the manga straight up cut out a chapter that becomes immediately relevant in this arc so I'll have to drop it here. Maybe the manga wants to do it as a flashback chapter for when the big moment happens but I seriously question why.

Reid invents a new form of attack magic (what Sandra refers to on the bottom of page 2) that completely upends conventional magic theory. He names it "Compression Magic". Normally in magic, you have to create an image in your mind, infuse the necessary mana, and then unleash the completed spell. The more large scale the magic, the more concentration and mana is needed. For example, a small fireball is much simpler to imagine, infuse, and cast compared to a large meteor.

Reid wondered what would happen if, instead of unleashing the magic immediately, he were to restrain the spell and infuse even more mana. The result was devastating. He was able to create the image of a fireball in his mind, infuse a small initial amount of mana to complete the spell, and then restrain the spell to infuse even more mana until it ballooned to the size most people associate with large scale magic. This is an abnormal and very dangerous procedure and Reid observes that the spell was growing increasingly wild within his hands until he was forced to fire it into the sky.

Sandra was then able to replicate his theory and procedure on the first try. She banned him from using this spell (we all know how this is going to end) until she completed a report for Reiner on it. Compression Magic would make most large scale magics completely obsolete. The total mana infused was the same, but the required effort for the mental image was much smaller. It took a technically completed spell and infused more mana than normal to achieve proportionally greater effects. Once again, magic is an extreme rarity in this world and most people don't really approach it the way Reid does. In fact, conventional wisdom has the country researching Mana Potions so that their existing mages can spam large scale magics more often instead of figuring out how to make casting them more efficient. And to give you an idea as to how dangerous Compression Magic is, and/or a testament to Fara's own genius intellect surpassing Reid's, Fara was able to deduce and replicate Compression Magic after having only seen it once. On her first day of magic training. She also experienced the same sensation that Reid felt and thought the same thing he did when the magic became increasingly agitated in her hands. The two are a perfect pair.

Cat and Slime here are going to be super important in later arcs. Their introduction here isn't totally random. The two of them eventually become Meredy's guards. The Cat can shrink/gigantify and has decent combat experience. Also, he's good at finding hot springs which Reid really wanted to include in the new mansion because Fara requested one. The Slime can shapeshift and becomes Meredy's body double. These two play a big role in The War arc later on. The Cat even becomes Reid's mount in The War. As for Reid's "unconventional" thoughts about magic, it ties into a conspiracy plot thread involving the Ronamis bloodline with hints that should've been dropped when Reiner remembers how he first met Nunnally. Gist of it is the Ronamis are a Count family that dates back to the founding of the Empire but have no other notable achievements. Even Arwin, then Crown Prince, had no knowledge of what made Ronamis so special. When asked, Nunnally herself didn't know either and simply said "I think there was a famous mage in our family long ago or something." The Ronamis bloodline would also become relevant in The War arc too. From what's been revealed so far, the nobles in the know seem to want Ronamis women to make archmage babies.

Thank you for the info about Cat and Slime. Seeing the last panel, I thought it meant that the adventurers/hunters looking people were after Cat and Slime.

 

[Llangion]

That last bit feels like it was taken out of an entirely different story

They are. They're hired by a Dark Elf noble who loves trading exotic species including dwarves and humans despite Renalute's feelings regarding slavery following the Barst incident. A Shadow Cougar and Slime mated pair qualifies as a rarity any collector would want. Reid will rescue them in the next arc.

Thank you again for the info. I was worrying that it's going to be one of those story, that one of them will be killed and another one got rescued. I am glad to hear that both got rescued.

[ScryedParadox]

That slime and that cat got more romantic development in a single chapter than MCs do across most of their run time through several dozens to hundreds of chapters.

 

[AsteroidCreator99]

His best friend and his wife

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

Well, time for mc to get an overpowered pet I guess huh?.Its not right away in the first chapter at least.

 

[Ender_Sempai]

Wait why isn't the cat in the cover?

 

[tilsgee]

Oh it's a death flag

a 4th victim, huh
