Honzuki no Gekokujou ~Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen~ Dai 2-bu 「Hon no Tamenara Miko ni Naru!」 - Vol. 8 Ch. 38 - The World of a…

Personally, I still think that this Myne artstyle is better than both the anime artstyle or the sequel's artstyle. The various faces of Myne's expressions are so adorable in this style.

We all love Suzuka's artstyle, no doubt about that. Sadly the manga is published in parts simultaneously, so it's impossible for her to draw Part 3 and Part 4 whilst Part 2 is still ongoing.

 

[WhimsiCat]

Hasn't the dude already seen enough? Anything more and it has got nothing to do with any security risks Myne might pose, and everything to do with his own curiosity.

She choose what to show, not him. That's why he told her to move on during the library part instead of just doing it.

Spoiler: reply to previous spoiler

So in that sense, she's like they've been demonstrating so far? Untrained, but far more powerful than anyone can even conceive.

Spoiler: iirc

yesn

There's reasons for her high mana pool but she's not the level of OPness you'd see in power fantasy stuffs.

Not to mention the Gods are much, MUCH more powerful.If you want 'far more powerful than anyone can conceive' then it's the Gods, not Myne.

 

[Novis]

Awww this is kinda cruel to her.

 

[kingdudman]

… also wonder if she can find knowledge in books or other sources that she cant actively remember but read at some point. she might be able to make some crazy stuff. …

It’s a dream. She could read what it says but like ChatGPT it will be mix of stuff she knows or made up.

That wasn't really my point. He wanted to see what she's all about, and more important what she's not all about (like a demon from hell). Now he has seen it. She's a book freak through and through. Otherwise she's no different either, with a certain lack of common sense. Whether she chooses it or not, this is an invasion of privacy of the highest order, and thus should only continue for the minimum amount of time necessary.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

Hopefully she avoids modern weapons? haha "omg this is far more powerful then magic".

Depends on the magic. You have guns, I have invisible assassins with magic missile deflection. Who wins?

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

Wait until he notices, that a huge portion of that world (or other "undiscovered contries") has been under the control of a church, not totally unlike his own religious organisation, and what modern technology and the reconnaissance did to its powerhold.

Depends. This church is also the wizards' guild.
If, thanks to Myne, mass education starts in the church, and the church brings in all the most talented mages as it notices them while they're being educated, it could stay pretty dashed wealthy and powerful for a long time. Might be better for the church to go with the change than fight it, is what I'm saying.

Her reckless personality/lack of common sense IS already a potential threat because she's unpredictable, powerful AND have known triggers.
Remember that time Gil almost got CRUSHED for trying to interrupt her reading time?

Also considering he didn't cut off when she entered the bath, I believe it's on a timer.

To know that, he didn't need to enter her mind. It's abundantly clear she's full of reckless ideas, made more dangerous by her lack of common sense. That has been a known fact from the beginning. Entering her mind should have only been to verify that she's the same inside and outside. However, the dude won't stop because he's mesmerised by that unknown world he couldn't have imagined. It's like those fairy tales where a person is told to walk across a room and not pay attention to anything he/she might see left or right. Obviously there would then be all kinds of treasures and whatnot visible.

Yeah, sure, the guy who told her to stop reading CLEARLY was interested in learning about the other world...because books are just worthless wall of texts right? Nothing like history books or schematics or anything that he could've easily just tell her to read about (and she would gleefully do so)...

He also tooootally told to take a bath and not that he has no control over what she show, yeah...

Considering how many times now the series has shown that things are rarely ever cleanly just split into simple choices, I'm honestly not sure why you still think on that level.

at what point does it go from part 2 to 3

That makes two of us because I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.

 

[Gu7]

I hope you can tell after you found the reason. I also want to know. This chapter feel funny at first but it's was one of the Myne regret.

Someone answered the question in the reply

 

[WhimsiCat]

at what point does it go from part 2 to 3

quite a long while yet, we haven't even seen some key characters

Spoiler: the last incident in part 2

is when the old priest smuggle in a noble to kidnap Myne

That makes two of us because I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.

Considering you cry about invasion of privacy for 'choosing to continue watching' when the chapter itself had him acknowledging how serious just doing the act itself was (and was taken aback by how little Myne cared) didn't have high expectation to begin with.

 

[Superpeanut]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Kaarme]

Considering you cry about invasion of privacy for 'choosing to continue watching' when the chapter itself had him acknowledging how serious just doing the act itself was (and was taken aback by how little Myne cared) didn't have high expectation to begin with.

He only decided to do this after seeing just how vast Myne's mana reserves are. However, in his eyes Myne is still a child, even if quite mature in some ways, but also immature in other ways. All in all, Myne has pretty much shown everything there is to see in her daily life. She's not exactly shy about her desires or projects. So, yeah, I wouldn't say Ferdinand had high expectations of finding anything troublesome, but by the looks of it he needed to see it because due to Myne's power, it's possible that ten years later she could destroy the city if she had some (figurative) demons hiding within her.

No matter how remote, the possibility would exist that years later Myne would be ready to annihilate anything that opposed her, if that had been a commonplace practice in her otherworldly background. Instead he saw a very peaceful world and still the same obsession with books. Then taking a bath with no sense of maidenly shame. It's 100% the same he would expect from the Myne he sees everyday.

What I'm saying is that this is technically enough. Any more, and it's not about Myne anymore, it's about him. Like has been said in this thread already, Myne most likely would want to show more since she ought to be enjoying this, but the dude needs to decide if it's something he should do, considering he's not interrogating an enemy but a rather a partner, and a child, to boot.

Spoiler: LN version of same event

This is made clearer in the LN, but she actually gets an excellent view of the exact text that she had read even though it was a long time ago. This isn't just showing her memories but also allowing her to recover, in great detail, things that she had only seen briefly.

We've seen 0 evidence of him having control of what/when to show besides him asking her to show him, so I'm not sure why you keep treating it like he has the switch to turn this dive off whenever.

And yes he's aware what he's doing isn't right by any means (he only told her to drink the medicine and only explain what's going on after the dive already started) no need to keep pounding on it. He was willing to pay the price of being hated by her to get this done.

He'll probably bring it up next chapter, but meh:

Spoiler: spoiler duh

He plans to send her to through magic education, because given how much mana she has, her not knowing to properly handle mana is worse than her learning how to do proper magic.

But since only nobles can go through that, they'll need to have a noble he trust adopt her to be able to send her to that school, not to mention how much resources will be needed to do it.

Also since he come to learn of her reincarnation here, he'll stop having any reservation of her as a child and treat her like adult.

He has no control over what he's being shown, but surely he can terminate it. Of course it's possible he can't, but it would quite a tool if only the target can do it. It could easily be a harrowing experience with more dubious targets. Of course it's possible it continues exactly a certain, predetermined time, in which case I'd have been blabbering here uselessly. However, if I had designed such a tool, the one visiting another person's consciousness would be the one who controls how long it lasts. It only makes sense.

I don't think he will genuinely be able to treat her as an adult any time soon. Just think about how difficult it would be when she looks like a little girl and half the time behaves like one as well. Although I guess she has been getting better in that respect (behavior).

 

[HDMI1]

A child goes alone into a priest's living quarter, where he gives her a drink that makes her go to sleep. Good this isn't the catholic church.

Even if it was the Catholic Church she would be fine since she's female.


Also didn't the anime already cover this section? If you've seen it you all already know what's going to happen in this arc.
