Oh yay, another crummy writer that uses the black boxes to pretend to be mysterious. Just say the words instead of pretending to have an IQ higher than you do, ffs.

Are those black boxes words only for the readers or they also can't hear it because of some magic

It's probably words the person hearing them doesn't understand. Old Vamp might understand them since he's so old.

Page 8 has such a, "Sir, this is a Wendy's," energy.

Yeah, either an unknown language or a distorted sound. If it's these awkward censor boxes it's usually the latter since the rest of the text is understandable, but it also means the typesetter isn't great since there are better and clearer ways of representing what you want. This is also in raw, by the way, so it's not the scanlator's fault.

If it actually is just censoring the words for the audience, while the characters hear it perfectly fine, it's crap writing.

It's really funny how tropey these sarcastic comments can get in isekai manga threads, it's literally complaining to water for being wet. It's almost as if those comments were part of the Manga itself in a weird meta way, only that compared to power fantasies, harems, childhood magic academy arc, etc... The comment are less entertaining and even more repetitive that the tropes they bitch about.

Also...

That comment with that username combo is just hilarious.
