Tensei Arasaa Joshi no Isekaikatsu - Vol. 4 Ch. 20

[Volttekka]

Completely valid crashout

 

[Milanin]

Most pickled foods are fine, but since young, the smell of warm sauerkraut makes me gag.

You just need to boil the hell out of it if you want it warm. Otherwise, storing it dark and cold is the way to go

 

[FlyingEclair]

There might be potentially valid reasons to be skeptical, but Dan sure didn't express any. If offering jobs in exchange for the payment of cash and food is just "charity" and "exploitation' then what solution does that leave? What exactly is he angling for, and why didn't he say it? They could've easily portrayed him as a stern representative of the underrepresented, as other similar works are able to (such as in Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko / By the Grace of the Gods), but here he comes across as an aimless whiner.

Why would I want to warm something that makes me wana puke even before it's heated?

And not that I have any interest in polluting my environment in such a manner, boiling the hell out of it would destroy it's nutritional value. So what's the point?

The Gilmore family makes the best facial expressions. Love that the dude laughed at her, he represents us xD

Adorable Magnolia.

They dare question the Half Wikipedia knowledge of Magnolia

I assume the fear is that they would get paid less even if they did the same amount of work. Something that does happen, and is why manufacturing companies in the real world love moving to less developed countries. Drop the wages to barely anything, force them to work long hours to make what wages they can, and implement far less safety measures because the country doesn't have laws for them. The people in the developing country are exploited, the people in the richer country lose out on jobs (which will lead to economic problems in the long run), the product is cheap trash, and the only people happy are the investors.

Magnolia's solution isn't great, forcing a standard wage has many issues down the road, but it is at least an assurance that she is trying to protect the people of the slums from getting used like that.

Being cynical and critical is 2 different things

 

[rockmochi]

Another awesome chapter. That crash out by Magnolia was cathartic lol. This manga never misses 👏

 

[w4ffles]

One is sour (Sauerkraut, cuz it is sauer, DUH! ) which anoher is spicy. (careful, it is really spicy for someone who isn't used of spicy foods. )

"White kimchi" doesn't have any chili peppers. People who can't handle spicy foods should give that a try.

 

[Galdrasmidr]

God, I love this little hamster. She has guts, and she is full of spirit.

 

[UdenEmpati]

good on her to shut down his pouting nonsense immediately. i get being skeptical of nobles and all that yada yada, but i got the impression that the Margrave was deeply respected in his teritory so i really don't get the reasoning for his little outburst when they got offered possibly the best solution they might ever get to save who kows how many lives from the slums
Maybe he thought is sounded too good to be true, but to just dismiss it like that is just foolish

The slums are part of the Margrave's territory as well - deeply respected as that family may be, the slums existing under their charge at all means that some stuff still went wrong, and conditions were allowed to persist for a period of time before Magnolia showed up.

A toddler Margrave suddenly showing up promising what would seem like a near-magical solution after so much seeming ambivalence would understandably be met with skepticism, I think.

Sure, as I said, there are potentially valid reasons to be skeptical, but my issue is that he didn't express any of them. He didn't even look at the documents she distributed to everyone (and this could actually have been another good opportunity to show his disadvantaged position if they portrayed that as him not being fortunate enough to gain literacy, however...); his reaction to her yelling the explanation of the disease showed that he wasn't even paying attention to her earlier calm explanation. He is simply a terrible representative for the interests he advocates.

 

[Chizan]

Perhaps the most that stood out for me in this chapter was the church guy wasn't a pompous drooling guy slinging insults and and shouting church supremacy and heresy. I mean this is church in isekai story, how unreal is that?.. (to be honest, it would be unreal too often in real life too..)

 

[ikinetsu]

Pg 14 Get em Grampa tear that guy a new asshole, how dare he question me/my authority.

Dan-0 Magnolia-1
What's wrong Dan? You were talking shit and a little girl stand there, menacingly put you in your place. Dan the representative of the slums got schooled and verbally bullied with straight facts, in front of all the other reps. This is like a teacher calling on a sleeping student to answer a question, knowing damn well the student wasn't paying attention, just to yell at them more.

Dan you're fucked, keep your mouth shut and nose clean around Magnolia from now on.

That is fair, in general this part of the plot is treading the same old isekai tropes. Which means someone had to hold the idiot ball to push her up.

 

[OmegaDragon]

Dude can be cynical but he acting like the margrave has been doing that inhumane thing all this time.
Even if they are, instead just complaining, he could suggest alternative solution.
But i guess coming from a slum representative that eats good, he does not have to worry about scurvy so how tf would it reminded him of how his own people are dying.

I never eat it warm. It's best served cold, especially with deli meat. You should try a cold Ruben sandwich 😋 My favorite 💕 I make my own at home too, like they said, it's super healthy.

Cold, warm, doesnt matter. the smell of it even from accrossed the table makes me gag. And it's not like I've not tried. Kimchi, while not as bad has the same effect. Which is really weird because it's not the cabbage. Coleslaw is fine, as is stuffed cabbage. But sauerkraut
