Despite her problematic personality and other possible social complications he's aware/wary of, he did want her. He says so himself. Also, I have a strong feeling that the Duke only offered it for Cassia's sake, to not upset her. Personally, he would be only glad to wipe out the remaining inconvenience once and for all.
Haven't read the novel in a hot minute, but didn't he openly tell the Duke that it is bad idea to place her in his home, given how displeased she is with the idea, sure he didn't fight long against it, but still
Guess I was wrong I could've sworn I remember her being more active than her LN counterpart. Either way, my point still stands if the author wasn't palnning on doing anything substantial with her situation beyond a noodle incident, I prefer the retcon
To each their own, but I don't find it natural that someone whose father just got murdered takes it graciously and readily agrees to cooperate with his murderers without so much as blinking an eye. Even considering how crappy a character the late Earl was.
That always bugs me, because mayo is like, one of the most ancient sauces. Casual reading says that the French "invented" it in the 18th century at the Spanish Port of Mahon, combining French cuisine with local ingredients and a sauce base that the local chefs used... but it's the same thing as the ancient Roman 'Oam Sauce' (name isn't a surety, but they had an ancient wine-vinegar-and-egg-and-olive-oil emulsification recorded nearly two millenia beforehand with Apicius that IS mayo; likely originates even further in the past, but that's the earliest reference as a culinary sauce that we have a record for). Toum is even older, as is Aioli (All-i-oli, "allium and oil").
The issue to me is that there was nothing of consequence to the perpetrators, that was a bit sad.
that is sadly the least worse case scenario, yeah
i hope they do, i mean, in 8 to 10 years when the manga reaches that part...
I mean, it is really sad that in WN the girls commit a cruelty that could be avoided by a more wise leader, and the MC acts like a spineless jerk instead, but none of it is inconsistent with their characters and the situation in general, no matter how we wish it was different. While in the LN, the author chooses to discard the whole awkward subplot instead of resolving it, but at the price of forcing the characters to act in an unnatural way. Which is also a spineless decision, in my books.
That’s the thing. It always comes down to the author wanting the protagonist to introduce some Secret Hereby Unknown Invention to this poor isekai world that will make him seem like a saint in their eyes, and almost every time it just comes down to “oh they don’t have the sauce I will make them the sauce and they will revere me for making the sauce mmmm the sauce”
Oh I get it, I do, in fact I absolutely prefer that depiction of Rutina and 100% agree that it's a far more interesting character, but if the writer isn't going to do anything substantial with it, then what's the point of the realism? I would be pissed if they retconned say an arc of her Father hiring some bandits to retrieve Rutina, but ultimately betrayed and killed him then went after his daughter for their own purposes. At some point they corner Michio and he has to fight to keep her and that's ultimately what defrosts her since she would understand it would be better for Michio to just let her be taken. However what we got is a Noodle Incident that makes Sherry and Roxanne kinda look like bullies
It's not necessarily true that they'd try something already; for example, in Hazure Potion, monsters despawned on death and chickens didn't exist, only basilisks and cockatrices, and only the MC was able to create an effect to protect from/cure petrification; people just didn't mess with them because they were so damn dangerous and rare and they didn't drop something they thought of as edible when killed. Chopping off the snake tails so they couldn't petrify and would lay eggs that could then be consumed was something completely at odds with the common sense of the world. That's a damn good justification, IMO.
Harem stuff aside i don't think Mc wants to stick out/get attention even if "inventing" stuff as a side hustle might make a bit more money on top of dungeon grinding altho other than happening to know a bit of kendo it started out with him being a shut in(?) that was basically preparing To commit suicide so i imagine he's not that ambitious but i assume other than "normal" or slightly poorer ppl most would rely on magic (idk if anything more advanced than carriages have been invented versus paying an adventurers to go to different towns tho idk how common it is for non combatants to use that service)
sex slaves can't be wives
Wdym by that? Why is roxanne mindbreak another slave woman? And who is it? I guess it's the last, the blonde elf noble girl, right? I'm perfectly fine by that. Roxanne is the best gurl for me, always
BASED
Not long ago, Roxanne was ready to beat up the elven village chief for being rude to Michio, and Sherry is openly racist towards elfs (and merchants). You gotta face it, they're not some pure angels incapable of wrongdoing (as much as Michio feels that way). And it's even debatable how correct they were in handling the situation the way they did.
Not sure what kinda consequences ya wanna them to face, the only person they answer to (Michio) was probably just glad the open hostility ended.
