@dummyaccount12345 Actually their society is mostly like ours, there are some differences, but the expectation of people helping is obviously there, as the one who commented that she didn't need to was a soldier rather than a commoner. Also if you look closely in this chapter, there are civilians from the town helping out as well. (You can tell cause they're not in military clothes, and they're using tools as weapons.) So saying "She's a civilian" just means she's not forced to help, but it doesn't mean that people don't expect her to help. With people in the town helping to get rid of the monsters, if she's just standing around when she could easily make things easier and less risky, people are gonna get mad at that. Also she doesn't work as assurance, because she helped some, but people still got seriously hurt while she was lazing around. Just no one died (that we saw) Their town is also going to get bigger soon because of the dungeon there (It's been hardly any time since it was discovered so they haven't gotten the tourist spike yet) but as we saw most adventurers will protect people, so they really don't need the shop girl, they just need to draw in adventurers who will act as assurance. And as for her shop, they could just send complaints in to her company, and they're replace her with someone else to run the shop. So she's not someone irreplaceable.
And again, she's free to do what she wants, but the wrong thing is the -expectation- that she can do something like this and not get the town's anger for it. And she would mind getting kicked out, because in her company this is a punishment transfer, so if she screws that upto too, they'll probably just fire her. Based on how she was behaving it's pretty obvious she's in a bad spot with the company now. Also several people were seriously hurt. And this isn't some kinda ploy to try and make the girl stronger. One, we don't even know if you can level up outside a dungeon, but also, asking for help is the -smart- thing to do. That girl is by no means anywhere near the kind of person who would rely on others without doing anything herself. She's right there fighting as hard as she can. So acting like she is teaching the girl some lesson about not relying on people is just stupid. The girl has never overly relied on anyone in the first place.
@Nematoda She is not 'helping when the monsters get through the barricade' she helped once when the monsters were going to kill some civies without any interference. But many people got injured and monsters dis breech the barricade and she did nothing. She herself also said she's only protecting her shop. So she's not nearly killing everything that passes the barricade. The MC had her in the dungeon killing enemies by herself to grind levels literally a few days earlier. He was just watching to make sure she didn't die. Or did you forget everything she did in the dungeon?
And again, people got seriously injured, her doing a 'tsundere' act to teach them is even worse than her just not wanting to help. Because people could die, she can be there watching but if she messes up her timing, or someone she didn't help because she "thoguht they had it" messes up, someone could end up dead. Because she wanted to "Show them how to be strong" that is the dumbest thing ever. And the village is already fighting their hardest, and so are the soldiers, there's nothing to teach them. They'll only get stronger through experiencing it, but that doesn't matter if they're dead or crippled after it. The shopkeeper fighting wont hamper their growth. It'll save lives and prevent injuries.
@Epicredeemer @Liquidxlax it was something like no mana outside the dungeon for her to convert into her magic attacks.
