A bit more melodramatic than I would prefer, but I like it nonetheless.

 

[Slingerman]

This is what happens when you put the sins of another person on a teenager's shoulders.

So how long are we gonna linger on old Leold after this, because I thought the main conflict was between him now and who Leold used to be. But he seems to be advancing pretty strongly away from that in a short amount of time, chapter wise.

NGL, I hope she actually did some research later on to find out if that village really was consumed over night by a random plague. It just feel very convenient, the perfect lie to tell a child to keep her on the straight and narrow.

I started reading for the “haha power-fantasy redemption” and not real sad boi hours, but alright, it’s a surprise I shall welcome

Maybe I have unfairly criticised this series a few times, for neo-Leold to take the original Leold's sins as his own so profusely and personally, instead of merely accepting that he must carry the consequences of those crimes, yet still knowing he wasn't the one who did all that. However, reading the beginning of this chapter made me realise this might be an issue of cultural differences. Japan has that whole inherited debt system and culture, which is also the initial setting of many a drama manga, so the Japanese just view things differently. Sendou Makoto simply accepts all of Leold's outrageous crimes as his own because that's how he grew up to act and believe back in Japan. Just like in Japan his parents' or disappeared sibling's debts would have fallen on him, and he would have had no choice but to deal with it, whether he liked it or not.

Seeing how she's running her own intelligence operations with professional spies and everything, it's quite impossible she wouldn't have checked it out eventually. But maybe even if it was a fabricated story to make her obedient and motivated as a child, she might have accepted it later nonetheless, having become wiser and realised her role in life, at least intellectually, even if she still wished for freedom emotionally (who wouldn't?).

Hope he actually grows a spine after this, him going "oh no, me becoming a better person hurt you because other people entirely unrelated to me started to spread rumors about you... how could I do such a thing" got real tiring. It'd be one thing if it was a direct result of his actions, but "I'm a better person so you lost clout" is insane to freak out about this much.

^This. I was thinking the same thing after reading that part. If one village can be easily destroyed from a child leaving her post for a day, there's something wrong with this country's safety measure. There was no elaboration as to why it was destroyed and why it's her fault. That's too convenient development that only exemplifies the drama. That's a bad writing.

Taking a solitary and heartful advise from the saint while her gigantic jackfruits were tight in your face, thats so divine

 

[exxeld]

ngl surprisingly flowery prose coming from the princess describing her crimes. I'm not sure if its the author working or the translators but I appreciate it no less. Bit more than the usual slop dialog isekai gives, but seeing the princesses and doubt over Leo's actions as a form of projection makes perfect sense, which makes her trying to help Leo way stronger as a scene I'm actually very happy for the both of them.

 

[chojinra]

Honestly, I think more isekai protags should feel the impact of the previous body's sins. Not to be a sad sack and buckle under the weight, but take it on and still do what they need to do to be better. That's more plausible than being instantly forgiven for everything and living the good life.
