If it fixes the damage, the hair comes back.

Questionable, hair isn't a living organ like skin, muscles or a lung. Guess it's more based on the setting, but in my opinion even finger nails would have to regrow over time unless a separate spell, potion or ability was used to accelerate their growth

I hope the hot-springs people who submitted gets banned and slapped with harsh penalties (if possible to enforce despite already banning them). Because this was a very dangerous manipulation of the request system, trying to get a much cheaper request in exchange for making the lied-to guild throw unprepared and likely weak bodies at the problem exchanging lives for success.
Even if that colony slime was a recent thing that appeared after the quest was submitted, they should have been banned already when a "cleaning request" was in fact a "subjugation request". Because 6-year old's with brooms and such, are very much not what you want being fooled into fighting tons of (even if they are weak) slimes. Hell, the fact that slimes corrode stuff means it would likely end up a huge loss for those slum orphans that had to resort to accept that quest, as the compensation doesn't match.

Horrible people all around in that hot-spring company. Particularly that woman who went all "I know you are here for cleaning, but it was secretly a subjugation quest. That's fine right? Oh, and the target is a massive mid-ranked monster (who is so dangerous it even resulted in an emergency quest) this time, but that doesn't matter yeah? Now take your broom and unarmored self and get to cleaning!"

Yes and no. This is a reoccurring quest given to the guild, so the officials likely know about the omitted dangers. The fact that the mid ranked guys are watching over their juniors also kind of reinforces this as well.

Not to say that the added danger of the slimes being of unnatural size isn't a slight oversight. But backup is close at hand.

As for any slum kids, low level adventurers are restricted to fetch and gathering quests. As cleaning the water canals is inherently a subjugation type quest, they wouldn't be offered the quest in the first place until they can prove they can handle them, or least escape.

On page 6 shouldn't Mirim's skills be [Intuition] rather then [Inspiration]?

On a side note, if the slime's chemical burn is so mild that a low grade potion can easily fix the damage, couldn't this be used as a novel way to remove unwanted body hair and unsightly skin tags? You might scoff at first, but just ask your mom, sister, or female acquaintance what a pain in the ass plucking and or waxing is.

Yeah.... but then wouldn't it be like Nair? I've never tried it before, but I heard that shit sucks. And even if you dilute the acid like someone else mentioned, it would still damage your skin a little. It would probably boil down to whether or not hair grows back with healing potions, like another person said I guess? I know skin tags would definitely grow back too; instead of acid it would probably be better to use frost magic to freeze those off.

Sadly I agree the skin tags would return, doubt freezing them off would work either. OTOH slime plus a lg healing potion might make for a great spa treatment... melt away all the oils, dead skin cells and acne, then fresh skin is grown back with a potion...

Everyone always wonders why magical fantasy worlds are always full of beautiful people... while the answer was was always staring us in the face. A slime facials with a shot of a healing potion to take the edge off.

If the guild officials knew about omitted dangers and still let the quest omit those dangers, then collusion/corruption is likely going on and the problem is bigger than we thought!
Btw, the mid-ranked guys were there due to an emergency quest iirc. Wasn't for the cleaning quest, but rather some quest about a very dangerous giant colony-slime in the area. A mid-ranked emergency subjugation quest.

Which makes the girl directing the one who took the cleaning-job to enter the fray of the mid-ranked emergency quest unarmed and unarmored even more cavalier than expected. And likely hoping he either dies so she doesn't have to pay the cleaning reward, or better yet that he succeeds so she doesn't have to pay any reward for the emergency quest.

Cleaning water canals is inherently a subjugation job? wat? I thought it was inherently a handyman/janitorial job. Wasn't that the entire point sister was ok with him taking the quest?

Regrown hair, nails, and other products are standard fare for any kind of healing in Fantasy.

Sounds like they're suggesting diluting the slime's acid and/or keeping the exposure brief. Enough to remove the body hair, but not enough to actually need a healing potion.

Nope. He clarified that he just didn't think healing potions would regrow hair.

She didn't know, and they didn't ask. Very shady.

This is likely the case, but not be used on the face. I've learned that the hard way with a hair removal cream mishap.

Ay good shit Claus getting stronger so you don’t even need auto battle for this fight. Look at them forearms too my boy growing up.

Eh, only the ones that allow the easy regrowth of whole body parts via position or regen abilities. Any story where tattooed and scared individuals are common would also have difficulty regrowing hair and nails.

Nope. He clarified that he just didn't think healing potions would regrow hair.

Still think its questionable. Otherwise every time one drank a potion they would need to get a haircut. Now you could put arbitrary limitations like a potion/healing only restores ones body back to the state it was X hours ago, but that would be something the system would have to determine. Also needs to explain how scaring and tattoos works.

She didn't know, and they didn't ask. Very shady.

Eh, some lessons can only be learned the hard way. Besides, if nobles can get away with attempted murder, and mass interference with rankup quests, I think the guild has more to worry about then someone skimping of information of a low level quest. Especially one when most people can walk away faster then the threat can move.

Why? Unless your scalp's been injured, the healing potion wouldn't have an effect. Same way you don't have to worry about brain diarrhea when you take a laxative. I know these are fantastical concoctions, but they at least follow the logic of just healing injuries with few/no side effects.

Also needs to explain how scaring and tattoos works.

Scar: "It already healed over by the time I got it looked at" or "The potion just speeds up natural recovery"
Tattoo: "The author doesn't know how they work, and doesn't realize that they'd probably disappear if the magic system explicitly removes toxins"

By your logic arm hair wouldn't grow back unless the treatment damage the hair follicles. So slime hair removal would be little different then a haircut unless the damage reached the root.

I won't claim all real life scars heal, but the vast majority of them will get smaller or outright disappear over time. Since most potions have the effect of increasing the body's natural ability to heal itself, most scars would gradually disappear with every healing potions taken. As would tattoos as they are a form of scar.

Which, considering it's an acid burn, it would. Pretty much immediately.

Since most potions have the effect of increasing the body's natural ability to heal itself, most scars would gradually disappear with every healing potions taken.

The scars would only fade, at best. If you happen not to notice them after the first shot, then neat. But it's not like they continue to get lighter for all eternity.

As would tattoos as they are a form of scar.

Different mechanism. Regular scars form because your body puts down collagen randomly to patch the injury quickly. Tattoos form because your body physically isolates the foreign material from the rest of you, then just continuously fails to remove it by progressively passing down the pigment between generations of cells. It would only work if the effect is also "Toxin removal".

I've covered this before but blame the author of the novel... yes Inspiration is the Furigana name he used for the kanji for Intuition.
