Akuyaku Reijou no Ani ni Tensei Shimashita - Vol. 7 Ch. 33

Thanks for the translation, asphyxiav2!

As someone who's grown tomatoes, the things are temperamental AF, and I would argue a lot of people who dislike tomatoes only had low quality greenhouse grown ones.

It's not realistic to expect dude's dad to be a revolutionary. Just because his values don't align with modern earth values, doesn't mean he's bad.

It's accurate to an extent - even our politicians wear good suits when meeting each other, as it projects their power and authority, and should set the tone of their discussions.
But just like with our politicians, there are limits; like I said, why do they need the mansion? The Best quality meals and drink? Fine art and everything else?

Like I was trying to say; there's little reason for them having a porsche, and yet if nobles such as them existed today, you just know they would have a porsche (and probably a custom made model).

The mansion or castle is the symbol of power and wealth. Usually the guard are stationed there and sometimes will be used as a makeshift fortress. The better your lands are (citizen happiness, better utilities, safety) to more it looks better for traders to invest money.

Lavish meals and drinks are money from tax being returned to the people/traders. The traders will use the money to pay for the land's people salary.

You say there's little reason to have a Porche and you are right and wrong. Buying a Porche from their salary, is fine but embezzlement or bribe is no go. That's why the former lord was stripped of his titles and land.

That is perfect world scenario.

Greedy people will do everything in their power to find loophole in the law and makes it that they benefit the most. Instead of trying to do the impossible, just do what they do. Exploit the law, be greedy. Nobody can really stop you if you getting rich by following and exploit the law.

"We have fancy clothes and receive a good education so that we may trade with other nobles"
"We have a huge mansion and only the best meals so that we may be in fighting shape to trade with other nobles"
"We each receive a Porsche so that... we may travel as quickly as possible to, uh, trade with other nobles?"

Something makes me think his explanation is a bit garbo.

You don't get universal education so that you buy my garbo explanation.

 

[RiceIST00]

cain need to crashout, their parent need to learn to shut the fuck up sometimes so fucking annoying

 

[_idiot]

His parents are assholes, I really hate them. No wonder such a sweet girl like Dianna comes out the way she does in the original.

If I recall correctly, the mom is fine, but yeah, the dad has pretty consistently sucked.

 

[Salfaro]

Dad isn't wrong.
Dad isn't right either.
Dad never lived as a commoner, and hence can't understand the worries of lower strata.

Son have lived as commoner in previous life
Son lived as noble in this life
I'd say son have more balanced insight.

Son lived as a commoner in his previous life, in a society completely different than this one. That's additional insight, but it's warped insight that's not actually that useful for living in a feudal society, unless Cain's aiming to become king and then upend the entire society instead of living in it.

Cain's dad is right, though idk if a specific event created to listen to citizens is really that much of pandering to them than him just normally interacting with them (though he also does that). Cain knows this too, after all one of the points he brings up to the guy he's talking to here is about how they buy fancy clothes because they need to maintain an air of status for negotiations, so he should understand how appearing more like a commoner is in direct opposition to that as others will see it as a lack of nobility/standing.

They're a Duke family, not a Baron or something. If they wanna use their lofty status to help the common people like he's saying, not schmoozing too much with commoners makes sense. But then again, manga loves the trope of "princess/prince who always sneaks out of the castle to talk to commoners", so it's par for the course even if I don't think it actually makes the most sense.

 

[noname120]

from what I remember of the story prior, its the parents that plant the seed of that villain behavior in the girl because of sh!t like this

 

[asphyxiav2]

Ignore politics
Enjoy Diana's cuteness instead

Hell yeah brother

 

[orangerain7734]

Magic communism then, returning magic to the working class fr fr.

We need the 2nd Ammendment for fantasy country to include magic as a right to bear on top of swords, bows, and guns.

 

[feha]

Dismire isn't exactly wrong, it's Cain who is extraordinarily progressive for his time period, tbh, it's like the CEO going around and hanging out with the new employees, BUT we have to remember that the biggest reason the Aristocracy was taken down because they weren't progressive enough and stuck in the past, so Dismire isn't exactly right either.


That said, braided hair Cain is very cute.

he is wrong about something though: Indoctrinating Educating the commoners on why they are commoners and you are their rulers, is a very important thing to remember to do. Don't forget propaganda that is highly visible to show why you are the superior leader to follow too, like having your daughter handle a very lacking soup-kitchen, or order a knight to stay they hand and show mercy on a kid(-actor) who fell in front of your carriage stopping it.

Mc is absolutely right about that, teaching the villagers that the taxes they pay are used to fund larger public projects, serve as a safety net, and overall improve their situation and economy (including by advertising their exports), not to mention paying for a standing army to protect them and educating bureaucrats, etc... is extremely important if you want to cut down on embezzlement at the lowest level, and overall eliminate discontents.

But I do agree that they are doing a much too naive implementation of things. And forgetting to keep a proper divide between the classes, but indeed asserting that they are superior to those common-born, and thus deserve more luxuries and to be obeyed, too.

CEOs really should mingle with new employees. Would cause an instant productivity boost.

Idk do you really want the CEO of the company you work for interacting with you directly and on a daily basis? Not a presentation. A sit down one on one discussion. What would you talk about? If it is issues at work it would be handed off to your manager. Or they could take offense and fire you. You don't ever want to talk about religion or politics at work. Even some sports are off the table if they are a big fan of one team. So you could awkwardly talk about mundane things like the weather with the looming fear that if you piss them off you're getting fired or your working conditions will worsen. Talking with the CEO as an employee really only works in small companies and mom and pop stores.

Left is best comrades, dont forget to lynch the fake populists so they dont muddy the message

Spoiler: I really like the Political Horseshoe Theory

 

[GreC_89]

I'm back without proper sleep again

Is this why page 12 has empty bubble?

 

[lenovoaxioo]

I know he would throw some logic to justify his words later, but fuck you anyway. That line of thinking is exactly what's make society rots and someone ended up losing their head. It's not about will it happen or not, but when will it happen.

 

[asphyxiav2]

Is this why page 12 has empty bubble?

I can't find the empty bubble,

Nvm found it!

 

[asphyxiav2]

Is this why page 12 has empty bubble?

Fixed

Thanks for continuing to translate this. If you ever get the chance, could you possibly please go back and do chapter 1? thank you

 

[Kold66]

it's not a big enough of an annoyance to cause me to stop reading but goddammit can all of these noblility isekais stop trying to defend oligarchy?

"Nobles must have luxuries in order to negotiate with other nobles" Ok sure cain buddy ol pal ol buddy, and i'm sure its just an unexpected side benefit that nobles get to enjoy those luxuries year round and live in splendor and have a feast for every meal and not have to worry about starving in the winter.

"the rebels would be bad at managing the territory anyway", says this but doesnt acknowledge that nobles dont get selected because they would be good at managing the territory, but because they were the offspring of somebody random. (try to justify this without eugenics, you literally cannot)

oh and ofcourse the working class would have no reason to rebel if they weren't being instigated. because it's a "win-win"

anyway rant over, hopefully cain has some backbone against dismire

 

[Tanmoy1945]

i mean if they did pander to the commoners, everyone knows they'll lose their nobility eventually.
the whole magic thing is also why things like nobles and commoners bearing children together is avoided at all cost
if everyone can use it, noble or commoner, then the nobles aren't special
pretty sure the dad's only doing what he can to keep the status quo

I mean magic is not exactly the reason for existence nobles in this world like even commoners can use magic but due to lack of education and support from govt they can only use basic spells ,so unlike other fantasy worlds in this one atleast the magic is not exclusive to nobles like man nobility even existed and still kind of exist in our world as well without any magic making nobles and commoners not very different.
