Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu - Ch. 114 - Like a lightbulb

Spoiler: His fate

The drugs and necklace make him a barbaric thug wanting to kill Kuzanoha. After he loses the tournament, Rona activates the necklace and turns him into a monster. Kuzanoha's students fight him and Abelia makes the killing blow. He becomes a pile of mush. An hour later and he starts regenerating. Mio comes upon him, talks a little, before deciding to kill him for inconvenincing Makoto.

wait he turns back into a human? or does he regenerate as a monster?

More like he doesn't care about hyuman, which is a result of the bad treatment he received from the goddess and the hyumans.

If a demihuman approached him, he's more likely to care.

That's what I said: a flaw.

Spoiler: You see

He is a blob creature. He slowly reforms a face and mouth, but is no longer humanoid. If he coulddo more, it isn't known.

He thinking it was regarding a romantic issue is part of the problem imho. Waiting at night in a back-alley?
He was attacked by assassins when he appeared, yet he didn't even think he could have been involved by the attackers (or tricked by them to try to distract him). Makoto could, and should in the context, at least interrogate him before wiping his memory.

As others have documented, Makoto is apathetic towards hyumans he doesn't know at best, merciless towards those who have his ire. Illumgand didn't raise a weapon, so Makoto is more apathetic. He doesn't think Illumgand is a threat worth swatting away.

Yes, I know. I just disagree with who claims this isn't a flaw of his character.

Thanks for the chapter!

I didn't say it wasn't a flaw. I simply said how he perceived that moment.

I'd call it PTSD from hymans.

On a serious note, aside from "it's for the story" argument, it's hard to understand why Makoto followers push him toward interacting with hymans so much. Not like demi-humans or demons have any issue with him. And amount of "bad" hymans is actually really high, it's not like Makoto being unlucky and just running into "rotten apples". Their society is like that.

Aqua is soo cute!

Funny that just today I had that exact kind of milkshake, except that I didn't use syrup but 2 sugar teaspoons. Its delicious and very easy to make.

Recipe:
-200ml of milk
-2 bananas
-sugar (optional)

with that you get a 500ml milkshake, it makes for a pretty healthy breakfast.

You really should try it with maple syrup or honey. It adds depth you can't get with table sugar.

i need spoiler of what will happen to ilumguy

Watch the anime. It's well past the manga already.

If I recall correctly, he would have been able to reshape himself into a humanoid, then conceal his monstrous appearance beneath a full suit of armor. In that manner, he had hoped to atone for his past sins by dedicating his life to fighting alongside Hibiki. But Mio decided he could only pay for his sins with his death.

You are correct about my quote.

I spent way too much time trying to track this down in manga, LN and anime. ... It made my head hurt.

So, just the anime... In ep 1.11 he says that he's going there specifically to learn about various things about the world. And later (ep 2.4) he learns that he isn't registering to be a student, but rather as a teacher. So he did go there in order to attend the academy -- which require a huge time investment. Then that... just doesn't happen and he ends up teaching instead. So, going to school to learn just got dropped because the author randomly changed their mind after already starting on the arc.

The anime then gives an additional reason (other than studying) as: in order to open a store, he has to be a resident of the city, which means that he has to enter the academy. ... ... This is just absurd. It's the anime trying to explain away the change from "Going to school to learn some stuff" to "I'm going to become a teacher".

As for the actual, literary reason: Because it's Japan, and they're freaking obsessed with going to high school in fiction. So of course, the author throws in an "academy" arc.


The core of the story is "become an OP lord" -- but that plot point should greatly reduces potential randomness because Makoto is now the lord of the land and should be taking responsibility for that. ...

Now he could be written as a character that doesn't want that responsibility -- except he never says that. He does accept (to some degree) being lord of the demi-plane, so that should require that he take on responsibility, but he doesn't really do so. So he ends up in this shitty status of neither accepting nor rejecting responsibility.

But then in contrast he does accept responsibility for teaching and guiding his students in class -- something that he does spend a lot of time and attention on. ...

Now maybe the author could be writing him as a contradictory, troublesome personality... except the LN never raises that point either. It's just random.

In short, Tsukimichi is not a "wandering character" story; it's an "author throws random stuff in for no in-universe logical reason" story. It's a pastiche of fantasy tropes.

Props for hunt down some more info. The WN is what I read so the LN may vary but there is a point in the WN that goes against the idea of Makoto being a responsible teacher.

Spoiler: WN Spoiler

Shiki has a conversation with Shen and they have a significant moment of deciding what is crossing the threshold of betrayal as servants. Shiki pretends to evaluate Abelia as Makoto to keep her inspired because his actual evaulation is litterally a soul crushing, "average" which would break her based on the siginificant amount of effort and devotion she's put into the class to keep up. Shen then goes through and describes how they all might be servants but they all ended up expecting different things out of Makoto subconciously and Shiki was hoping Makoto would grow closer and more empthatic to Hyumans by teaching but ended up getting attached himself which is (paraphase) "laughable as a lynch who's tortured and killed hundreds if not thousands of creatures for magical experimentation". It's a good character moment between them but goes to show that even the job role he takes on for students he puts very little thought into.

You can also see Makoto isn't a responsible teacher because while he does expand the students horizons teaching them to think outside the ridged structure of school with his practical experience he does basically hand off the class to his demi-plane residents and leaves the students to re-evaulate their stragety and tactics themselves which is great for future adventurers but his only real input in the manga has been to have eris keep them alive which is about the same level of responsibility he shows for the demi-plane residents. The residence fall into subservience because they respect and revere the world he transported them too but he never interfers or decides how they live their life besides the minimum societal laws.

...but also yes japan/korean love school arcs lol.

The only who actually helped are the Gods, who show Makoto what may happen if he don't chill a bit.

He's still like that he just has proper moral companions which prevent those sort of antics. Microwave was straight up crazy. Knowing who his "ally" was to help first and how horrified Makoto made him really was the cherry on top lol.
