Gotta love the faith the people have in him

alice ending herself is a bit weird but they knew she’d reincarnate so it was more like she just moved away to another country. Before the world was as connected as it is today, it wasn’t unusual to never see/hear from someone again when they moved. Heck. I’ve heard of people holding essentially funerals for their loved ones who moved to America in the 1800s because they knew they’d never see them again.

He was the closest thing to a living god at the time after all.

He protect the place, teach them knowledge, etc.

In case of Alice he more or less 'blessed' her with how powerful his blood has been shown.
Change him from a vampire theme to more typical god of light theme and he'd probably have a religion dedicated to him with temple in every town already.

The only downside to this series is that we don't get a new chapter every single day.

Alright, let's be honest here: If your waifu go through all that just to stay with you, she's a keeper and you HAVE to marry her.

As I understand it, the original meaning behind the expression "blood is thicker than water" referred to insurmountable distance. In other words, even if there's an ocean between us, we'll always be family.

that's actually wrong, the full quote is "the blood of the covenant, is thicker than the water of the womb"
essentially meaning the bonds you forge are more important than family ties

It's always funny to me how few people have heard the full saying and the meaning is the exact opposite of what they think it means

I've seen this repeated plenty of times but I've never seen a source to back it up. If someone has a decent source or study on this, please reply to me.

 

[Cythyel]

now the 2 has to properly explain everything to Odette... she gonna be listening with empty eyes, then pretty much freak out for sure XD

 

[anzuda]

DAMN IT! Because of someone i keep reading Okayu as Okazu...

Mmmm, still not huge on that. She still has the mentality of a child and he has the life experience of hundreds of years

 

[Pandawanka]

Dude... I can't imagine what it would be like for the parents...

Even if you did know the powers of the Holy Sword, you essentially had to watch your daughter kill herself and pray that the reincarnation was real.

Not to mention you'd never see her again... I don't know, I can't think of any parent that would allow that.

 

[blahblahbleh]

bruh shes like 10 and hes like 90000000

In fact I've heard that the supposed 'original' one was modified later, so we've gone full circle

They actually do a pretty good job confronting that in the next chapter.

Spoiler

Basically she asks to marry him, and he says yes, but in a really flippant and unromantic way. When she calls him out on it, he reminds her that he changed her diapers, and the diapers of several generations of her family. It's not a simple thing to just fall in love with someone who's descended from someone you raised like a son.

And she agrees that makes sense, and a relationship between an immortal and a teenage girl is going to require some work. At least they're together again, and she can get cracking on actually winning him over.

TLDR; he agrees to marry her out of respect for her efforts, but tells her to her face that he's not in love with her yet since she's still a kid, and she accepts that.
