here comes the boom...

Oh well, RIP

 

[kaminomikan]

ha, she wants to tie him as a servant forever, damn girl.

I think he gave her the mana boosting sword intentionally. I don't know to what end but that is the face of a boy that knows what he was doing.

I think she accepted it intentionally, the description of what it does given and would obviously only accelerate her issue. And if she thought there was a small chance it meant something else or was a figure of speech, her accepting it wouldn't help and she would just have rejected the offer if she thought that was the case. Her "fear" and "trembling" was obviously just an act made to fool anyone who might watch past the fourth wall (she knows!).

Also, wth was up with them forbidding guards, but then letting cocky kids carry lethal implements of war into the venue to stab all others?

Lmao, as soon as he said "power will well up within you!" I knew it was over.

So did she, probably.

 

[Khazar123]

everything in the universe goes wrong, characters all act like idiots -> drama and tension has been created!

What a shitshow, this whole event is so badly written... yikes!

But hey, can always avoid criticism by going: "hurr Durr, ignorant nobles and their weird ceremonies am I right?"

A typical part of noble "polite" society is not turning down gestures of kindness from other nobles without reason. Even if she thought it wouldn't do anything beyond being his lucky charm, there's not really a good reason for her to reject it.

Not to mention, she's like what, 12? Kids aren't always the gigabrain geniuses anime makes them out to be at times.

 

[Tarasios]

The translation of the runes on the bracelet isn't consistent. The runes on both pages say "mana capacity X percent", while the translation says "magic capacity..." the second time. Also, the second time the runes read 101 rather than 103.

The sword is slightly different. More literally it's: "treasured sword effects of increasing magic power amount".

We learned earlier not to trust rune translations, since they don't actually match what's written in Japanese.

 

[MrJohnSmith420]

That was stupid as fuck. Like very stupid.

Didn't you get the memo? All characters have to act optimally at any given moment, regardless of characterisation.

Edit: lol feha, taking it personally.

I know; I'm just pointing out what the difference is. I just find it fun that they're even remotely accurate.

...You don't need to be gigabrain genius to realize that "I have a medical issue where my power is too stronk and got a sealing artefact that should keep it drained for a day tops... hm he wants to give me an item that increases my power? Sure, that sounds like it won't at all impact anything!" is a stupid choice of action.
You do have a point about being polite though, but at the same time my issue there is more that he gave her an actual weapon. Something that can easily be used to cast doubt on the holder in a ritual where all bodyguards are banned and has lots of high-profile ppl.

I'm at least 90% sure the intention was that neither of them knew it was an enchanted sword. It reads more like kids holding onto a lucky charm to help themselves feel better, or in this case, a kid giving another kid their lucky charm to make them feel better. Also the kids that are there aren't allowed anyone else with them, but they are allowed some personal items. Clearly the kingdom doesn't see a 12-year old with no skills as a threat even with a ceremonial sword.

I read it more to be showing that the whole effect described was considered a tangible thing that he mentioned from experience, and she accepted assuming it was true (and then actually felt herself).

In a world with magic items, a kid can easily be a threat to other kids. And any sword with sharp edges is a threat to other kids, even when it's not magic. So while they might be allowed those items, all it takes is someone claiming an individual intends some assassination shenanigans and are carrying lethal implements despite being a regular lady kid, and doubt will be cast.

Her eyes being special(due to her bloodline) is something that's kept secret that only very few people know. That why the Earl setup a roundabout countermeasure to control it.

Can't argue that, 'guess I couldn't remember the details.
I'd still have her shut her damn eyes, though. If someone had the ability to shoot knives out of their eyes, you'd make sure they don't look at anyone.

 

[Diagus]

What happened with that boy? Next Boss

 

[MontDilanus1343]

Vol 2 Chapter 35 for this event.
(Spoilers: Vol 2 47.5/48 for the infodump.)
Also the raws are 2 chapters ahead (27?)

If you want to read the plot mess instead of see it.
The level of author-driven plot incompetence is staggering.

 

[HailBritannia_]

This gonna be bad

 

[FantasyMaster]

Unless proven otherwise, I always assume the author wss just a bad writer. When a solution seems simple, the writer should preemptively setup why it isn't feasible, imo.

Since, for an instance, everyone knows that her family has a magical eye running in their genes. It's not a secret, and yet, they couldn't prep an insurance for something as catastrophic as bewitching everyone in the event?

I'd have done it as so: since "honor" is vital foe nobles, it makes sense they can't have her go around blindfolded as if she's a leper. Given the bracelet is a good way to deal with the issue, the dad should instruct her, and her aids beforehand, to keep her eyes closed if anything goes badly. I'd even have her dad have her practice avoiding other people's eyes.

However, during the event, given the current circumstances, I'd have something happen that'd make her open her eyes and accidently look at someone. Accidents happen, afterall.

Tho, honestly I think the best move os to pull a bait and switch. I.e: something else entirely will fuck up the event.

No need to be proven otherwise, it is bad writing. You'll find me agreeing on that. Every story is good or bad based on the author being good or bad (no shit sherlock, right?).
Even if something worse that actually makes sense storywise happens, this part will remain a bad (and now useless too) moment.

I read it more to be showing that the whole effect described was considered a tangible thing that he mentioned from experience, and she accepted assuming it was true (and then actually felt herself).

As you are free to read it however you like, can I ask you why then a 12 yo girl would let her power run wild?
Because it doesn't make any sense to me and I'd really like to discuss this with you and hear your opinion.

The way I read it, the kid talks about "power", not mana specifically. I still believe he didn't know the dagger recovered mana and i believe there's no way in the multiverse he knows about Eva's enchanting eyes.
And then we have Eva: how, in your opinion, would she understand that power = mana. If we didn't get the dagger infos (which is something for us readers, i don't think characters saw that), we could be talking about a dagger with a hp recovery effect...how could we know?
And the last question would naturally be: if they knew everything as you say, what would they gain from doing this little stunt?

That's what I am saying is odd/stupid of her.

I was under the impression that world didn't have hp. Meaning that any item filling you with power was magical in nature (instead of life-force'ical in nature), and would extremely likely interfere with that bracelet even if it's magic was applying a strengthening or even healing enchantment.
And not everyone knows everything, ie. the boy doesn't know her mana is sealed due to a medical condition beyond feeling anemic. The girl is the only one with all the info.

i feel sorry for that beast girl. she might become a villainess in the future.
