So... we're back to the nonsense antics with just these two. We're thematically back to square one with the just the two of them, that certainly was a way to get rid of the new girl, violence followed by betrayal and becoming fugitives.

Her strength and skill with a sword just begs the question, why is she so fixated on being a slave? She technically has the power to kill him and free herself whenever she wanted to. Surely she's not doing this as some sort of atonement for a darker past?

Is Hamita known for bad endings?
Gege Akutami looks like an angel compared to Hamita 💀...

His series is not always have bad endings.. but he always have pretty dumb ways to torture his character.. so that's why many of his series pretty much always got "finished" so early on serialization..

He always got pretty good premise tough at the first early chapter but when it's nearly the end it's ukh...

Dude's pretty chill, considering he just lost everything he had because his slave couldn't keep her fists to herself.
Not surprising considering the alternative was to be sent back to the battlefield and likely die because he was still too wounded to properly fight. So either way, he was already gonna lose everything.

Not sure if it came across clearly in the translation, but in the raws she is still speaking almost exactly like she did before, with that slave-like mentality. When she offered him the fruit she did it in a way implied that only he should it it. And when she was talking about eating the bugs, it went kinda like this:

Commoner: But what are you gonna eat, there isnt much around here? (paraphrasing from memory)
Slave-chan: Hmm, you're right, I would likely have to give you these tasty bugs, too.

There isnt much of a difference at all really and I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right, just my interpretation.

Yeah, when initially translating it, this part of the conversation really stumped me. Even after posting it, I thought the translation was flawed. Gave it another lookover and tweaked the part where she offers the fruit, as well as changed the beetle dicsussion to something closer to the author's vision, while (hopefully) keeping it easy for readers to follow.
Not entirely satisfied still but at least the nagging in the back of my brain is gone.

Thanks for the heads-up, I probably wouldn't have changed it without your input!

What is this stupidly stubborn woman's endgame besides bearing his children? The gap between her two natures is hilarious despite their situation.
