nothing is more terrifying than a guy walking closer to you with a calm expression with the intent to transfer you to the after life.
It is said that the most dangerous thing in the world is a man with nothing left to lose.

What that leaves out is that something equally dangerous is to have a man who has everything to lose, and he knows that you intend to do just that to him. Like Liam Neeson's character in the movie, Taken...
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I look forward to actually reading this once it blows over, thanks for the very fast translation and typesetting.

Whoops there was one more chapter in this batch, so I guess I'll repost my comment from ch.44.

I'm not really sure why people are claiming bullshit or retcons on all of these developments when there haven't really been any big inconsistencies thus far. It's just that a lot of silly gags in early chapters were actually misdirects and foreshadowing for revealing Mirio and Iver's true strength/potential.

The author even specifically calls out the things that were never explicitly said and only misleadingly implied, so that readers can go back to check for themselves, like assuming that Mirio was weak just because he was inexperienced as a Hero. In particular, the reveal that at least part of the actual reason Mirio wasn't mentally corrupted by the Holy Sword (previously speculated to be because of the Power of Love) was because he was too fast and strong and made it to Iver's castle absurdly fast, is pretty well done.

I guess they just don't want to admit that the stupid ecchi manga was building up to an actual story this whole time?

This chapter 55 had another cool reveal too. When Mirio and Iver stood in front of the king and gave their passionate speeches, Valetta assumed that Mirio's responses were so well thought out just because he cared a lot about Iver and giving her a peaceful life, so he must have studied a lot. In reality, even before meeting Iver, he had already been striving to be as honorable and gracious of a Hero as possible. He desperately wanted to avoid a future where his people would violently rebel against the kingdom, and he recognized that becoming a popular Hero that the people accept would be the best possible method to broker peace.

After reading thus far, I'll say this: He's not a 'Monkey Imitator'. He's a 'Monkey Fool'.
