Chounin A wa Akuyaku Reijou wo Doushitemo Sukuitai - Vol. 3 Ch. 14 - Duty As a Guard

[Ahdharr]

big question, how many shooting by civilians happens at japan, USA are "gun nuts" 'cause that's also happening ... a lot.

They assassinated their most recent Prime minister with a makeshift gun so you tell me, goofy. This isn't the flex you think it is.

Normally I'd be far more annoyed by an MC who refuses to kill bandits who are clearly out for blood themselves, but this case is a bit different because the MC is, at the end and very openly, a cheater. He hasn't been, even once, in real danger so far. He could have escaped the dungeon bosses as well with perfect certainty, so I don't count those encounters that dangerous. He also hasn't needed to protect anyone, so that a failure wouldn't be an option. His way of safely sneak attacking all the time doesn't build his character. He's still 90% the peaceful Japanese dude, despite everything he has done. He's not committed to anything, either, and far from being mentally prepared for any conflicts with other humans. Yet he's trying to prevent both a civil war and a whole war of invasion. You can tell he hasn't thought things through.

He also never worked with a team until now

 

[Morose]

Not sure why MC questions about being approached by Women even-though he is now 14.

I mean, in a World with high mortality rate for Men especially for Adventurer, and remote places that has limited access to outsiders that it causing inbreeding issues (to the point that Women have to prostutite themselves to get genes from outside). It's obvious that they would start enacting as soon as possible.

Plus, while the standard age of consent is 18 in Japan, the legal age is 13.

And it's not like a 14 year old boy can't impregnate a Woman (the youngest recorded Father in history is a 9 year old).

A lot of gun otakus in Japan, I don't think the people commenting realize it. As much as people shit on the US for "gun nuts" there's also a sizeable number who have fascination with guns and military hardware. Like what nation are there large groups of people who visit military bases for domestic sightseeing/tourism at the level japan does, (and not just the JSDF Navy bases because of Kancolle/AL )

wild how there’s so much intricate technical knowledge but Abe got done in by a duct-taped doohickey

 

[lowarctic]

why did this author even make this an otome game setting

 

[Garbo]

waste 3 pages on " VILLAGER SEX" just for nothing to come of it, typical filling pages to meet page quota shit

 

[ShinduPK4]

I don't think it's a good idea to kill people

Tell that to those trying to kill you, you fool
Seriously, what is with Japanese fantasies and their obsession with saving worthless lives?

I really hate this "Killing murderers is bad" trope that is prevalent in so many mangas. The retard MCs should be tied up, forced on their knees and get donkey kicked in the nuts for every death indirectly caused by letting murderers and rapists get away. I don't understand at all how so many authors even think that, willingly letting murderers escape, is a good personality trait for MCs. Actual brain rot.

In short, he is a retard.

And this folks is why you don't let evil people who do very bad things live. Especially in a setting that doesn't have like police and all that like we do.

Its far more complex than that. In this fantasy setting you can dismiss all bandits as demons. But the real world needs more order and ethics. I suggest you read some books and watch some videos about the value of human life and the death penalty before speaking

Your comment shows your ignorance clear as day. Read up on real cases and murders and you will see just how even the most well thought out systems to persecute does nothing to reduce murder or rape. Also the reality of how many people with flimsy prosecutions.

 

[rexmundi]

that must be the bandits

More like a gun nut or something. Modern guns have a really complicated manufacturing and reproducing them from scratch needs an intricate knowledge of their workings and mechanisms, not what a regular FPS player would do.

...which brings me to the point of: what need there is of bringing modern assault rifles to sword & sorcery worlds? Those arms were created with a target (regular humans) in mind, and while they can be useful, they're not as much as the last word as those mangas want them to be. Oh, sure, untrained peasant. Use an 20th century automatic assault rifle to decimate those goblins, see how many you actually hit and what they do in response.

or probably an airsoft autist.

conventional FMJ round are actually very effective against soft target, even able to penetrate thin to moderate dense surface (wall, car's door). The rounds the AKs run in general (7.62x39) are even more effective against armor at closer range due to its heavier weight compared to 5.56. For creatures with serious thick skin, 7.62 NATOs will do a plentiful tbh. The limit when it comes to modern weapon is bullet's velocity (due to amount of gunpowder being stored within the case), so with whatever magic shit they have, it can improve gun's damage by a lot just make bullets fly faster. Would be cool if author/artist did something mentioning those.

Either they stab, burn or just straight out diy a gun tho (rip Shinzo Abe), bad people will do bad things with whatever they got. Fun fact: all the shooting done in U.S were being committed with shit guns and gears. They are just criminals those were able to get their hands on gun, not actual gun nuts.

Okay, that was actually informative. Even if I know next to nothing about guns I could guess regular rounds can be effective and armor-piercing even more so (even flintlock ammo was in their time), but I believe that even the more modest of current guns require a certain level of training, maintenance and of course, specific materials to work on peak condition; something that a medieval fantasy world might not have.

There's also the issue that as a fantasy world with strange lifeforms and near-sentient energies like magic who laugh to our laws of physics, the usage of guns might be more limited unless more specific ones are introduced or they're adapted. For example, I don't see draconic creatures like drakes, wyverns or, y'know, actual dragons falling to assault rifles like AKs or FAMAS(welp), but anti-materiel rifles or self-propelled ammunitions might be another story. Cannot shake the idea that a regular bullet might not do much damage to 10-20+ long creatures with skins akin to personal armor and organs who might not be where their Earth equivalents have them, or have more than they should.

Guns would be effective based on the ammo type unless these magical creatures have armor that is harder than steel/composite body armor or magical protection. And as always shot placement is key, miss vitals and animals take longer to drop.

It's the issue I have with the Jurassic Park movies where they act like guns have no effect on dinosaurs. When we have bullets that take down large creatures already and ammo that pierces hardened armor plates.

I find it interesting that Allen hasn't properly thought about what if he has to take a human life before he goes on the guard mission. You can see his childish thinking when he says he can't kill them. The goblins and orcs were semi sentient but that was okay? What if the Prince and his henchmen won't stop during the duel?

Isn't that agreeing with me or I'm missing something? Sounds similar with what I said...

A theme with those movies is playing with forces barely controlled underestimating the threat they pose. I guess making them near-invulnerable to bullets are a nice way to show that. But even so, firing at a T-Rex (even if paleo-accurate) seems suicidal at the very concept, specially without the specialist big-game ammo you mention.

Orcs and Goblins have been a staple in fantasy as enemy races for decades. Greenskins having culture, intelligence and not being treated as guilt-free genocide targets is a rather recent development in the west which went overhead of the Japanese market, focused as they are on their AD&D-inspired games.

Yep misread your first sentence as wouldn't. But also wanted to point out my frustration with the Jurassic park movies.

 

[Schernobyl]

Started reading the web novel and this part was mentioned but glossed over so I'm glad the mangaka for this included the story and expanded it. It's a nice addition.

 

[Nyaaa]

so this chapter is the MC pussy out twice... dammit

He's in love, remember? Well the manga didn't make it clear, but in the novel it was clear that he likes Anastasia a bunch.
