It's sad for me to see a kid need to be more brave and mature than an adult especially if the adult is the parent of the kid.

I wonder how many mistakes the grandparents make to make their children become this useless as a parent and adults.

 

[Elhao]

This is so heavy-handed.
Hmm, I want to remove the parents from the story. How to go about it? Oh well, they'll be involved in human trafficking. And the prince will be there, knowing about it, with some convenient knights to instantly deliver justice. And the mother will be a blabbering idiot. And the father will of course attack Agnes (while surrounded by said knights, who just conveniently and momentarily lose all competence to make Nazelbert have a moment in the spotlight) to add attempted filicide to his crimes.

At least the second half of the chapter saves it.

 

[thycondrius]

Thanks for the translation! Really nice job.

Omg the FMC is so precious.

Also, time for someone to throw Robin in a woodchipper

I must say the credit page edit is quite amusing.

Personally I was fine until the guard got his weapon taken away. Merchant was suspicious to begin with, so him being the prince wasn’t surprising. The prince was also the one to bring the younger brother to Agnes so he would have an idea of where the family he was investigating may go in a hurry. The mother being an idiot is unsurprising given how easily influencable she is. Them doing human tafficking is a bit heavy handed, but again their relationship with Robin was hinted prior, and father is desperate enough for even a crum of nobility that it’s believable.

 

[MoneyLoss]

Thank you for the update and translation. I'm glad the brother and sister keeps getting closer to one another as family, there's parents though can go rot somewhere

 

[TiaoAK47]

Bruh, how the hell the guard just let this fat fuck take his weapon?

 

[KitRagnell]

Death penalty please

 

[Serathe7]

Gotta admit, the trafficking thing sure came out of left field. I'm glad her brother realizes a little bit what she went through and how long she put up with being insulted for her clothing.

 

[Saon]

Thank you for a treat!

It was already heavily hinted that there was something odd about the merchant, and previous mention of the prince who never appears in public due to being sickly. It's a trope going back ages that the weak or foppish prince is actually secretly out there fighting evil. See "Scarlet Pimpernel".

The fact that he happened to be on hand is obviously not a coincidence. Simply put, when he encountered Paul, he used him as bait. He was already familiar with Agnes' story and knew what kind of impulsive, rash asses their parents were. He brought Paul to his sister and then waited for the parents to show up, out in the boonies where he could arrest him without interference from the palace and Robin.

The one point I will agree with you on, is the involvement of the father in the trafficking by Robin. That was sprung on us out of the blue. The fact that Robin was behind it, and the fact that the father was working to get into Robin's good graces, were revealed, but I don't really think we got any hint of the father's connection to it.

I almost missed it because I was reading the chapter on my phone and didn't feel like zooming in (what a fool).
And... Ah, yes, I see that you know your judo well!

 

[dingo12345]

I really like the credit page.

 

[nightnyx]

Man what a shitty father. Good riddance

Yeah, I feel like the Prince was decently set up (if not terribly original) but the human trafficking is a bit "wuh huh?".

I think it might have worked better if it was some other crime, but I guess they just wanted to cut to the chase about why the family would be dissolved.

 

[Ultimatecalibur]

Part of the issue might be that this is a manga adaption of a web novel/light novel and foreshadowing that appears in the written version did not appear in the manga version.

 

[SkyCat]

Impeccable credits meme. Well done. Oh, and the rest of the chapter is cool too, I guess.

Honestly, even if it was some other crime to dissolve the house that was less grim (like fraud/embezzlement) I think I'd still have the "wuh huh" reaction here.

Like yeah, we know Robin's probably able to influence people due to having typical saint abilities, but I feel like we should've at least seen like, a few panels a few chaps ago hinting that the Evantales were up to sketchy business. First learning about it at the same time they get arrested for it just feels like a total asspull.

 

[KuroZer0]

Well that was random… anyway…
