[Bootybug]

Why was he jailed? He solved the dragon situation too.

 

[Bloddrake]

Why was he jailed? He solved the dragon situation too.

The chapter explained that, due to guild regulations, he is held liable for what his comrade (Lily) did. Since she summoned a dragon and wrecked the brothel, he is on the hook for it.

 

[alacaelum]

Lily will take "stop hitting yourself" to a whole new level.

Hey... good of the mohawk's girl for sticking with him even after he lost rep, she loves him, and good for him too.

 

[XenoAshura]

Lily greatest rival is Lily herself~

 

[Kyuketsuki]

If you are dating someone with multiple personalities does that technically make it a threesome?

 

[Grye]

Lily can even beat herself, lily is the strongest

 

[ThatNaiGuy]

Why was he jailed? He solved the dragon situation too.

In addition to what the other guy said, it was probably less punishment and more the city holding him and Lily in one spot while they worked out what what was going to be done. In this case Hajime paying for repairs of his own will. Mostly at least.

 

[Kaarme]

I hope Veronica doesn't hope to interact with Hajime ever again. She was the one who purposefully took Lily in, despite having witnessed her black-eyed power, at least to some extent (controlling a bunch of monsters). Yet now Veronica's using the treaty against him, to make him pay for what was essentially her own mistake.

Considering it from a purely legal point of view, that ancient type guild treaty must basically be designed to prevent anyone from exploiting the ancient types. Hajime's case here is a mere side effect Veronica chose to put to use, to make someone else pay for the repairs, even though logically it was her own fault. It's the kind of legal loophole in the same spirit as those that allow billionaires to avoid paying any taxes, for example.

 

[Beastkun]

this just makes things even better
