Oh, I was right about the multi-classing thing?

And that bard certainly is a bard. Rolling 3's on his CHA but still trying with just about anything that has a pulse.

 

[exile650]

Spoony bard alright.

 

[Umesan]

oohhhhh so it wasn't just a weird fixation on Shiina, a man in a girl's body, this bard swings that way

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

Just need a rock concert.

Considering how much of Shiina's recent character development involves learning to assert himself it seems like a bit of a regression that he rejected the bard without even proposing his 7:3 pitching:catching ratio to him first.

And we just won't talk about how back in chapter 15 Shiina was about 10 seconds away from hooking up with a hobo, and in chapter 22 he didn't object when they were in the chamber of secrets and Chiba announced that he'd be topping Shiina if it was a room they needed to have sex to escape from. This aversion to bottoming just seems like an awfully recent development.

Shiina will peg the bard

Was this zerg mermaid rush, what made Kazuya worry?
Or is there even more danger?

It's because Shiina is differentiating between one time deals and a full relationship. Meaning that's it's easier for him to accept once but not as a permanent thing, hence the 7:3 ratio, which would be applied over the course of a full relationship. And Gilbarton did a full declaration of love there, so Shiina's biggest issue is really dealing with the feelings from that.

Shiina will peg the bard

Of course, the solution would be this, but Shiina seems to not have thought of it .

Either way, I really liked the way this infatuation from the bard was presented. Seeing his past and who he was into, Shiina really does feel like his ideal type, so it feels less sudden now than it did at first.

Hold the fuck on, that dude is there BECAUSE its his job to protect them from mermaids? Why the fuck did he let 2 people die last chapter then?
Is this dude secretly a psychopath???

it's an excuse. Have you never known a person who keep complaining that they don't have a partner, but once they find someone willing to be their partner they keep making rationalization on why it wouldn't work? From the get go, Shiina always seems to be that kind of person to me. Oftentime, when their partner break up with them, they're fine with it, because they're not that invested in the relationship anyway, and they can rationalize it as "it wouldn't work from the first place anyway" or any kind of other rationalization.

I know a thing or two about boat arcs taking too long, and this isn't ine of those cases

 

[Aku0424]

You know the bard was singing about lost love so the mermaids gathered all their friends to cheer the bard to sing along with his partner and duet is basically bard marriage, so the mermaids are technically his wingman/women

Back then, his decisions were guided by pure shock and despair because of what they went through. Now, he's pretty much just learning how to deal with this new world and his feelings. There was no regression in his character development. The fact that he pretty much accepted the guy when he said ''What if we'd met in your world [...]'' shows that your comment was a misjudgement, since your take on him liking the bard guy is right.

But overall, the most important point is: you must remember that Shiina's body is one of a kid. It's not about romance or anything else, but respecting the girl that will most likely get back her body once they leave the world.

 

[liobi4]

Shiina's a man of culture and wisdom, also good on him for not going at it in a rental

Shiina has no peener at the moment.
