Even if the protagonist didn't have affection for her it would still only be right for him to go save her after what she's done for him because technically she's being punished because of him
I mean, if ur bro got in trouble cuz of u, ud save him, so if ur h- erm i mean if a girl gets in trouble cuz of him he should save her too... GENDER EQUALITY YAY!
Exactly. I even went back and re-read several chapters. She kinda showed up for a single panel 3x chapters back, then... nothing until the torture. She didn't say a single word to anyone, nor did it even show her leaving the area. Either the mangaka messed up and forgot something, or the storytelling is just falling apart.
seekermoc The reason she was tortured was because she took trops to help someone, and that someone is the man she likes and she have a political fiancee. Can you understand now?
i think the old man was shocked because the book is nothing special, and we will find out that the MC was just very talented with a lack of self-confidence and choose to fool himself into thinking it was all because of the magic book.
