Arrogant Slave - Ch. 27 - Water Well

[MangaDex]

 

[StaticTransit]

As Tom Lehrer once said, "don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!"

 

[pandatime]

Drink the water Soldier the ppl have not died yet so wont you

 

[HazyNinja]

Nice greek god reference, also maybe this is set in greece?

 

[Iratana]

Why is it that they keep sending one person after our runaway pair? They have both shown that they're strong and dangerous enough to take on multiple people at once (sure one of them is still recovering). Honestly, the noble lady and her subjects are just asking for constant defeat. Serves them right.

I want to make a God of War joke, but it falls faster than Icarus…

 

[tanabataz]

Damm, doing an introspect but this is yet another work of Hamita that they somehow self-derail, from a cute daily life with an odd slave and her owner to now this, this is their third work I read where they pull this stunts can we get back to what this was before please?

 

[thycondrius]

It was so fun when it was just the slave and the owner...

Probably a budget issue. Nobody ever has the money to do it right the first time but somehow you always find the money to do it right the second time. Or, in this case, the third or fourth time.

Warning to commentators that the raws are ahead a few chaps than this, so beware of unhidden spoilers in the comments.

There is no happiness with Hamita. Hamita is pain, Hamita is death.

 

[Moodyz]

Hamita probably played The Oregon Trail and everyone dies of cholera and dysentery at the end of it.

Drink the koolaid, soldier-kun.
'tis good for you~

I don't think Hamita can stay on track. Everything they do seems destined to careen off from its original premise into different and potentially unsatisfying or excessively weird directions. Even that "Scary girl, cute girl" series that went for a fair amount of time being moderately fluffy SOL school romcom with tiny touches of drama went rogue for a bit and then finished on a monumentally unsatisfying note.

I think we just have to accept that the real pain with Hamita isn't what they put the characters through, it's that they tease us with a good time and then go walkabout like a cruel sort of "gotcha!" joke.

If you can make this kind of joke that mean you aren't that stressed

Don't forget there still war going on, they can't spread their forces simply because some slave punched the spoiled princess. I could imagine parents being not happy that they lose one good knight because of this as well

 

[lesseffective]

Even at 3 pages a chapter, Hamita has managed to actually construct story arcs to this...

There is a near-infinite number of vanilla slice of life rom-com mangas around, why don't you read those? I enjoy Hamita's work because he keeps us guessing all the time, why would we want him to be yet-another tropey writer?

Maybe next time he could write an isekai where the protagonist is a bullied underdog with a secret OP skill chosen by the gods themselves, that would definitely be a breath of fresh air, wouldn't it?

Sigh

Nice greek god reference, also maybe this is set in greece?

Latona is the Roman equivalent of Leto/Lato, so more likely it's set somewhere in ancient Rome. Plus, as far as I know, there weren't knight-like positions in ancient Greece, but in ancient Rome there were the Equites, or just plain regular knights in the medieval Byzantine Empire.

There is a war going on and they are on the enemy country. The first noble did ditch of his company for the sake of glory through.

This mf over here gatekeeping stress coping mechanisms.

Anyway, I wonder what this joke was in the raws. Puns usually don't translate directly.
