Somehow this manga has a depressing undertone

Brother, where have you been?

 

[MysteryMedia]

Always nice to get a new chapter of this. Thanks for translating

Another chapter, another year.

I forget if it's been addressed, but that spirit he's always talking to, is it the same spirit, or does he just start talking to a new one every now and then?

This is my own preference, but I would kind of like it if the spirit he talks to is that female elf friend he had before leaving the forest. She was only mentioned once, but it would still be nice for him to have that bond and companionship.

I don't think it's ever addressed. Aesir has only ever referred to them as a group.

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't even have a concept of "self", considering how they're everywhere.

thank you for the release

Aesir is quite a godsend to this village, smithing, swordfighting, scouting and bushcraft are quite vital skill to a pionner village

One of the phrases I've taken from my mom is "I put it in a safe place, and that means it's safe from me."

Your mom is very wise.

What I recall is that they didn't really confirm it, but it's somewhat connected to the uncle. That spirit might even be one of the elders that he was fighting with.

The closest I recall it being addressed would be when he was explaining a bit about the spirits to the count and mentioned that the spirit he was talking to at that time was rather young. Makes me feel like he just talks to the spirits in the area, but seeing how subjective time is to them young could be several decades. Plus his usual spirit companion could have been elsewhere at that moment.

that new volume cover does not give me good vibes, but we will see if I'm wrong (I hope I am)

That pioneer village might end up to be a major independent hub for training tradesmen or something.

hey bum, go visit your actual adopted son holy

Can't wait for his return to this village in a few decades/centuries, just to find out it turned into a huge city that worships the elven sage or something.

You're correct. Spirits have very little sense of self because "individuality" hinders their ability to wield power of nature. They usually just linger around their favorite environment (hence they're called "spirit of water" or "spirit of fire" etc. without personal names), so Acer was just talking with new spirits of any location he went to.

that would risk bumping the current church's corrupt assassins with the racist church's just plain crazy folk. I think that would cause more issues than benefits.

Well, he's a high elf. Time is different for him. I mean, if 1 dog years = 7 human years and you made your dog wait outside the store for 10 minutes, while you go buy some beer, then that would have felt like over an hour wait for the dog. But nobody really consider about things like that.
So, for Aesir, what felt like a couple years for him ends up being decades in human years. And I don't think he can really help it.
