I'm a bit lost here. When Monica brings up the apartment she says the rent is "10 a month." 10 what?
Allen replies with 100 thousand. Huh? How is he getting from 10 to 100k? Then he compares the prize to shabby apartments, which are 60-70k and makes the connection that Monica's apartment offer at 100k could be a bargain? How is he getting that conclusion?
Afterwards we have boring and lazy writing, or a showcase of Allen's inability think critically by immediately accepting the first apartment they're shown.
And at the end why is that old fart asking "do you have something against goblins?" as if it's a bad thing to hunt them?
I don't understand.

"10 fantasy coins that are worth 10k each" I guess
The end is the most obvious goblin slayer reference possible idk how you could be confused by that
It quite literally spells it out for you

This is due to how Japanese work with numbers. Most western countries divide numbers at 3 decimal places. Thousand, million, etc. Japan divides at 4 decimal places. What we would call 10 thousand, then 100 million, etc. It can make translating a bit awkward.

Even after so many years of reading fantasy manga, I can't get used to the Japanese authors pandering to the lowest common denominator among the readers, by inserting some ill-fitting fiat currency bearing the exact value of today's yen into a fantasy medieval world. A few fantasy manga at least use the common Western fantasy way of copper, silver, and gold coins, which are, in the end, at least loosely based on how currencies used to work back in the day. Precious few manga have had a realistic currency system. It's not that complicated at all, but I guess it must still be too complicated for an average Japanese reader.

Is the shota being groomed by the big boob oneesan? 👀🚓🚓
No, but that doesn't stop her from trying.

At first i thought that the reason he didn't use his full name was cuz it's a standart thing to do, but now i see that he wanted to use the second part of his name for a smaller calibre. Still why not use something else, i'm sure you can make a few guns

She's got nice boobs, Yeah, but she's a pervert, Dude. No, she's a sex offender, with a record. She did 6 months in Chino for exposing herself to an 8-year-old. When she moved to the capital she had to go door to door and tell everyone she's a pederast. :eek:🏃‍♂️

Hi, Cantonese-American here. It's the numbering system for Japanese (as well as Chinese and some other Asian cultures). The Roman numbering system that most of us are used to has a new numerical unit (thousand, million, billion, etc) every three decimal places. The Japanese numbering system has a new numerical unit every 4 decimal places. The words for hundred thousand translates to "ten ten-thousand", ten million translates to "thousand ten-thousand", and then there's a new word for hundred million.
If you're not used to it then it's pretty confusing. I'm quite used to it and it's still confusing lmao.
