Okay, Sensei instantly rocking that guy was amazing.

Gonna bet the village chief perfectly understood that his village's prosperity was at the direct expense of everyone else. He's just an entitled little psychopath.

Loving further exploration of the Mage vs. Human dynamic through all this arc's friction. Lucille acting as a bridge made of love makes her a strong protagonist! Thanks for continuing to translate this series!

yeah I’m straight confused, he’s just an unethical anthropologist? what would happen socially if regular people got conned by a magician?

Thank you for another update! So, the bad guy didn't get away and turned out to be even more psychotic than expected? Damn nice to have a normal villain in a story for a change!

I am pretty sure that he is, at the very least, a giant arsehole. Remember how last chapter his attitude could be summed down to "Don't care, not my problem." despite clearly having some idea of what's going on? He is most likely complicit and is now just trying to exonerate himself by shifting blame.

So yeah, I don't doubt he will get away with it, but I wish he'd at least get slapped for allowing the things to get as bad as they did.

Bro, you saw how your "sensei" get humbled, and you went straight up accusing the other party? You got a death wish or something?

That was great when Sensei immediately dropped him.

Yeah, village chief is a text book example that a lot of people are more than happy to exploit others. Especially when they're sheltered and living a good life.

Part of the issue, and the emotional weight of this entire arc, is that you don't need to be a psychopath to end up participating in an issue like this; it doesn't take much to decide that you are not to blame in this mess, that you're just a victim, even though you knew—or could have known, at least—what was the cost of the benefits you were enjoying.

The instigator is a psycho, that much is certain, but the villagers aren't inherently evil, they are merely (?) wilfully ignorant and selfish and he took full advantage of that; just as they found it easy to ignore the hardships of their neighbours, it's easy for us to paint them as somehow more prone to selfishness than us and that's wrong.

Whatever convenient reason a guy like that wants to lean on, if you ignore other towns doing bad... you had to decide 'well we DId Better', yanno. People like that arent gonna have an easy time thinking different. It means accepting something horrible happened.

its tough. its toough.
