Watashi no Kokoro wa Oji-san de Aru - Ch. 41

[MNickWS]

I could imagine when people saw the party with the stalker knights walked behind them, it will make the villagers will think that the kingdom's army came to check their village.

i'm looking forward to the 4-komas

 

[Shiden]

Do you remember the name?

That description makes it instantly recognizable: Yuusha Goikkou no Kaerimichi/The Hero's Party on their Way Back Home

How about a Noct cosplay?

Had a few thoughts, like each character in turn, or a focus on a specific body part (like the hand model shot on the movie Zoolander), or Super Sentai.

Have a family member that enjoys making art. I kept trying to push them to try something a bit different to expand their technique. In this case, the linework is pretty solid. Not very clean, but that may be a style choice or lack of time. I'd be interested to see if a high contrast style could be done with extreme stark shadows.

The first example that comes to mind is the comic Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling, but there are other styles of there.

Edit: Just checked the last image again, and the "roughness" I was thinking I saw, was just the sharp angles. The lines were very clean. For other interesting, but likely very challenging styles, I remember an "art book" chapter for the comic The Legend of Angel (love this comic btw).

Too bad they didn't have the part from the WN where they parted with Geats before leaving.

Spoiler: Spoiler

His father gave him one more chance by having a match with Haruka. She slapped him unconscious. After verifying he was still alive, she said she got better at holding back, but her party members disagreed.

Thx for tl,

Tho everytime i see pages like page 12 it reminds me of certain oneshot of a girl leading her teammates back to their hometown, and then it flood me with sadness again, dammit 😅

That's the one you have to read twice in order to get the full experience, right?

 

[electro_neanderthal]

bruh. u seriously gonna say that kinda shite and not provide sauce? the audacity of some people. smh

Yuusha Goikkou no Kaerimichi/The Hero's Party on their Way Back Home

You need to read it again once you finish reading it the first time. It's not long, and I promise you it's worth it.

 

[Ascended_chipmunk]

I know that the cosplay art is Haruka's outfit but it reminds me of Rimuru's fit

I was thinking the exact same thing

 

[dokidoki]

Ahhhhh he hugs his tail as a body pillow while sleeping, too cute

 

[llamallamaduck]

oh man i was lookin forward to the fight with the OP lady fromt he tournament and it got canned

 

[Athuro10]

Aww Noct sleeps with his huge ahh tail tucked in. Wonder if it's hard or soft...🤨👀

 

[Crov]

Sorry, forgot the title since it's been so long and can't even remember where i read it😅

Tho, some sauce hero has appeared with the title

Few bits of minor weirdness; feels like you were proofreading while really tired or something. stuff like "want to[...], weren't you".

 

[Mussthemoose]

I love seeing them just going through life like this. Also yay! Elf time <3

that line about shaving parts of his horns to increase longevity is wild. it's like saying taking the fingernail clippings of king charles will cure all illnesses yuck

I wouldn't say unusual, though. Actually, that's quite tame compared to IRL legends. Japanese merfolk, or ningyo, are part fish, part human (older legends are more grotesque in its form), and eating their flesh can extend one's life. The most popular tale is of a young girl who accidentally eats some and lives for 800 years, traveling Japan as a Bhuddist monk after watching everyone she knows and loves get old and die on her.

most certainly, those sorts of legends have always been interesting when exploring domains of what's considered nonhuman, and what sort of immaterial themes that have been explore- it's just that, his position as emeritus, and his individualism of being a healer is probably the larger aspects of why it's his horns specifically. or else they would have said shaving the horns of dragons would bring about longevity, which can escalated into a trafficking issue(?) if they own it, it would be the equivalent of cosplay footwater/girl bathwater.
I'd originally use King Charles as an example to exaggerate how creepy it was, and objectifying it is to target him specifically. and there are real instances of people consuming dried mummies, powder ivory, etc. as a panacea- and while it's not necessary to speculate whether he genuinely needs to grind down his horns like some real counterparts, it seems our healer still wouldn't be privy in capitalizing on that.
whether they snort it, mix it into liquid, or what, that sort of intent should stay away-

I wasn't talking about why the people believed that, I was just saying the concept of consuming something disturbing to gain some benefit, even immortality, is not an unusual concept.

If I had to take a guess as to why the in-story people would believe this about "gramps", it would be the following reasons combined:

• He's over 100 and looks like a teenager.
• Before Haruka, no one was capable of using healing magic to the degree and effectiveness he does.
• He's unusually small for his race (just like Montana is unusually small).
• Horn powder is a common ingredient in a lot of medicines from time periods we see written in fantasy stories like this one.
