[Liar]

This is slowly becoming more sad as I read it...

 

[lasercats]

Is this how it feels like to have a rare chronic disease in modern day US? But I'd really appreciate if she'd just start to sell other stuff to make a bank then pour her money on books and get that shit going easier.

 

[AbuHajaar]

Why can't I hold all these feels

 

[Hounder]

Dang, Meraki Scans is taking a beating from all sorts of places.

 

[Serafita]

@lasercats you have to realise that she's really into books more than a bank or money, everything else is a means to books. If it wasn't for books, she would have given up and died ages ago, after all

 

[TetraSky]

@lasercats In this case, it's only "rare", because nobles are scumbags who refuse to help commoners. Heck,

Spoiler

the church could literally benefit from having more people with magic put power into the land through their tools... but they are too busy being corrupted by greed.

 

[mage_goo]

When you're too lazy to ""recruit"" people with Consuming you make them come to you instead
Modern problem requires modern solution

That's like -80 point to the nobles, and we haven't even seen any

 

[Allexio]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[lasercats]

@serafita sure I see your point. I'm just saying it feels like she's trying to kill a boss while being underleveled and it'd be easier to kill it if she grinded just a lil bit, so while it's not directly her ambition it's still lead to her books faster than just running straight at it. So yeah, just sell some more recipes or whatever, or appeal to a noble with her knowledge/ideas and get them to finance her disease in exchange of profits.

 

[Magaso]

@Tetrasky
So it's exactly like what he said.

 

[Dezaki]

i'd say the whole reason why those magic items are expensive is solely because of noble's monopoly on it. with it being the only lifeline for people with the disease they used it as a way to force commoners into slavery

 

[mage_goo]

So, let's see.
- magic exist, but only usable by noble
- Consuming is a disease where you have something overflowing from within
- magic tool can absorp those overflowing things
- noble doesn't mind keeping those with Consuming as slaves even with their supposedly high maintenance cost

See, if you take everything but the first one, you can guess that the overflowing thing is either magic fuel, all-healing potion, or maybe some sort of packable curse.
But add the first point, and that makes the explanation that those overwhelming things being magic fuels all the more likely.

Then there's the accident of MC making Toronbe grows just by holding it, and said Toronbe doesn't even need to absorp and destroying the soil nutrient. Which eliminates the possibility of MC exuding some sort of curses.
And with how the magic tool just get destroyed, instead of being "full" so it can be used when returned to the noble, I guess the possibility of it being some sort of healing item also get crossed out.

And so, we can concludes that nobles in this story are, indeed, assholes.

Pound cake 🤤

 

[Jamadhur]

Thank you for the translation, wonderful chapter as always

 

[RonBWL]

@mage_goo We don't fully know about the Magic Tool yet, it's described to be a "scoop" to take out water but then it has to be poured out somewhere too, so it still functions as a holder of sort. Eventually it'll wear out and break once it tries to scoop a large amount of "water" like in this case.

 

[Ifrittuccia]

Thanks for the chapter, I can't wait for Myne to reveal the truth about his illness to his family.

 

[scripted]

Thank you soo much for the release.
Bless you good people

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@lasercats Not quite. In the US, nobody's willing to pay that much for a slave. There's lots of desperate people who don't have rare expensive diseases, they can just hire them instead. So you just go bankrupt and die, basically. The market has no use for people who have run out of money.

 

[HuevoPodrido]

Thanks for the big chapter!
