@ekattor that was WN because of that I am still here and hope for the best.

 

[Liquidxlax]

@Dragou does this have a light novel? There is no drama tag which you'd think it'd get if there was going to be bad things happening to mc and those close to her. if it is going to be like that I'll probably stop reading it

 

[Dragou]

@Liquidxlax that is what I hope or it wont be counted as drama, because it isnt a central point of the story. and to the last part ... dito: I started reading it for wholesomeness.

 

[BlueCatMage]

@Dragou - When you say

Spoiler

"the father" are talking about Gaius's dad and not Lerunda's dad? I remember someone else said that this miko's dad went through something similar because he was trying to return to her sister before he died.

And seriously, THAT'S what happens next?! That's insane and pure bullshit! There are dozens of other things the author could do to get Lerunda to travel beyond the beastman village if he really didn't want to keep her there! And I mean, the way the story is set up makes it sound like the miko should stay in one place if she's happy because then that area will receive her divine blessing in return and the people will prosper for generations. I thought that was what the author wanted, to give the beastman tribe the miko's blessing so they could survive that type of shit and learn they can coexist with some humans. You know, learning to trust one another again just like what Gaius's father dreams about.

And honestly, if the author really wanted, they could just have Lerunda personally witness humans being cruel to the beastmen and then have her give out some divine punishment as retribution. I would personally love to see that more, when a country of slave traders learns not to harm the people the miko cares about. And how they deal with the aftermath of their country being ruined because of what they did. Good karmic justice right there. >

@BlueCatMage I totally agree, but there is still a tiny chance that it will be different in the manga. (I pray for it.)

Spoiler

But yes Gaius dad dies of torture and the divine punishment is a bit wonky. The god/gods punish only if the Miko is truly hurt. As long she doesnt know anything or her live isnt in danger of losing it (suicid seems to be part of) divine punishment will never happen and the blessing will be so that she will never starve. It doesnt mean to give her a great life, but her existence will bring some form of change. Me was told that it is implied change trough conflict. That seems to be the underlying message ... still there are other possibilities. If they do it, it will be something that I learned to hate. I call it "drama for the sake of drama".

Now let us await the next 2-3 chapterns and we will know for sure.

PS:

Spoiler

Some people mentioned other cliche plotpoints and they would be better if they are done right to get her out of the village.

 

[BlueCatMage]

@Dragou - If that ends up being the case, then what you told me is pure depressing bullshit and I'll also be desperately praying they'll go a different direction in the manga version. But you are right, Lerunda's

Spoiler

blessing and divine punishment seems rather wonky when you look at it like that. But if suicide is a part of what protects her and dishes out the DP than how on earth do the Gods think she'll react if she ever were to learn that humans are responsible for the death Gaius's father and tribesmen? I mean, Lerunda is still very much a young and easily impressionable child who was basically neglected all of her life so while she's still learning how to live and be a person, you're not going to really need much to push her towards the edge if you really want to create drama. I mean for god-sake's, just a few chapters back, she was just now learning she needs to valve herself more but all of that hard work can easily be undone if she feels that just because she's a human too, like those who captured and tortured Gaius's father, then the beastmen might be better off without her because she represents what always hurts them. If something like that were to happen then I'm sure the Gods will do something about punishing those who mentally harmed her and pushed her to possibly physically hurt herself. Something like that should also work as story drama to help move the plot along and get her of the village. Just the more I think about it and look at things, I don't really think the author properly thought out the plot very well in this case. Because I honestly don't want something like mass murder and loss of new caring family for Lerunda simply for what you said, "Drama for the sake of drama". That type of stuff is pointless and disgusting. It's put there to simply shock you and show the author gives zero fucks about their creation. And I'd hate for this cute manga to suffer for this just because the author felt like it might make for good story telling if it gets Lerunda out of the village.

 

[Dragou]

@BlueCatMage I see we think alikeand regarding divine punishment

Spoiler

it seems as soon she hurts herself, kills herself or completely breaks (her mind) then the punishment is given, otherwise never. It is right that if we look at her now that alone should be mostly enough to break her. If that would happen several years in the future ok, but right now she shouldnt be able to endure it without suddenly beeing strongwilled or having much more confidence than she should have.
To hell, even if she would learn in a few years about other beastman villages and why they suffer, that would most likely make her leave the village.

In that regard I love "Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear", which is even more lighthearted but had the same problem with the MC not leaving the vilage/town. It was accepted and solved differently. That it something a good character and story is for me: Dont force/bend the MC to somehow fit the plot, it will ruin the character, but instead build the story around the character and if necessary change it that it fits again.

Lerunda announces her intent to get Gaius pregnant

If Gryphon are okay guess I will accept but still not letting my guard down and they shouldn't either

Lan can't cook or fight. Well, it's becoming clear her path is "teacher/tutor". Considering her job is researcher anyway she's already in the knowledge career track. She's also the best candidate to be Lerunda's mentor figure being a fellow human and a woman.

Athos is an admirable village chief for believing in the possibility of peaceful coexistence. The dream of coexistence may not be dead yet, but I'd want to see something similar from the human side too. But before that, they have to cross that same bridge and make other beastkin villages believe in such an ideal.

The foreboding on the end of this chapter means the other villagers do not share the same ideals and could be a major source of upcoming conflict.
