Isekai Ojisan - Vol. 13 Ch. 65.5

[Homuranagi]

I don't trust turtles when they can make evil AIs

 

[Acolytus]

The lesson here is to never open the fucking box if you are the protagonist of a fairy tale, myth or a movie starring Kevin Spacey.

 

[Kanelel]

Between this and Pandora, I've come to a conclusion: Never get box.

A wise cautionary tale against microtransactions.

 

[Aichan]

Yeah, turtles are bastards.

 

[killercool]

Don't open strange boxes that attractive women give you, or else your life will be taken from you.

"Otohime? Well, I didn't vote for her!"
"Strange women lying in ocean places distributing boxes is no basis for a system of immortality!"

 

[xpsox]

The lesson here is to never open the fucking box if you are the protagonist of a fairy tale, myth or a movie starring Kevin Spacey.

But...... there is still a hope left inside the box afterall.

 

[knighrenx]

As long as there weren't any Typlosions in that myth...

 

[sverhnovyi]

Sir, Mabel has completed her cat transformation. I'm afraid this is irrreversible

 

[Doomroar]

Moral of the story? burrow a shit ton of wine bottles and go spend a weekend under the sea to celebrate your incoming return to land as a rich man.

I thought the moral of the story was that mermussy comes at a expensive price...

 

[albirew]

imagine if they listened to certain european folk tales

at least, Grimm always had useful moral lessons on their stories, as horrible as their ending are...

 

[mgRdr]

Not only did Mabel became a pet, but the other two girls just went along with it and treat her as such

 

[Khabe]

Mabel really like the beast robe and don't care being an animal and it's cute to see elf-chan happy to understand the tales.

At page 3 there is use of "coup de gras" but isn't it "coup de grace" ?

 

[captain_crunch]

Mabel's face

Poor girl wasn't given any lines just existing in the background like a mascot

 

[Ahan1899]

I miss Elf so much, man.

 

[manga_follow_75743857]

You jest, but since we know that he eventually return to the normal world, the story might be foreshadowing

I assume this will also answer who used divine magic in front Ojisan in chapter 14.

Anyone here thinks that Ojisan actually died in modern Tokyo and revived in Granbahamal? To return to modern Tokyo, he has to die and be revived in Modern Tokyo. Ojisan wiped his own memories about how he came back because he wants to enjoy life in modern Tokyo. The climax of the story is Ojisan finding his own grave in modern Tokyo and decides to return to Granbahamal.

 

[Xxsafirex]

coup de gras

victor hugo crying in his tomb rn

 

[strangeirdo]

A: Y'know I met this turtle that like sent me to an underwater castle where the princess was all over me and everything, but I missed my family so I came back

B: What family?

A: Uhhhh, 100 years passed so idk

B: But like, arent you kinda old, why would she even like you

A: Well, there was this box and she told me not to open it but I did and it made me old and stuff

Ojisan started this story waking up from a 17-year coma in the hospital.

 

[Admmi]

Yeah I read this story before and also didnt really get it, good thing the Japanese dont seem to have a clue too, makes me feel less like an idiot.

 

[kevin282819]

Uncle also has a lot of parallels with taro: brought to a different world and distracted by various things like magic, returns home after missing his family, finds out a lot of time has passed and loses his youth and the opportunities it would have brought, plus important things (Sega) have been lost during that time.

Uncle never lost sight of his goal though, and managed to return before all of his family died, and now gets to hang out with his nephew, and play with Sega emulators.

Moral of the story: don't get distracted by trivial things or you will lose what's important and everything around you will leave you behind.
