Isekai Meikyuu de Harem o - Ch. 80 - Palmasque (4)

[isoycrazy]

He delivered his share of the supplies for them (see chapters 62-64) faster than anyone else did. So they noticed that he is (to them) a hard worker who is dependable. Also since his Analyze skill recognized the duke when he was "in disguise" they figure he is a bit more in the know than he actually is. He isn't really under-powered, but he isn't combat OP like some main characters. Mostly what he's got going for him are support skills. He is OP in the sense that he can take multiple jobs (classes) which is not normal; and since the bonuses from each job benefit the whole party, that boosts the girls as well. So things are easier than normal, but not by a ton. (Also, and this is me being a bit salty, he's a damn coward. BUT, it also means he isn't getting overconfident and taking stupid risks. So that is actually helping him as well.)

Thanks for the upload!

I agree with much of that except calling him a coward. I would say he is suffering from PTSD from horrendous levels of abuse and so absolute trust in others as well as beong overly risky are harder for him.

[Flexue]

Does the sun rise so much earlier in the north??

ok I found the answer:
Yes it does in the summer.

Man, another short chapter, at least there was a lot of information. It feels like it's been dragging so much more because I know that slave nº 3 is about to be introduced, so it feels like forever.

Considering the pace and the amount of episodes in comparison to the LN, unfortunately I don't expect we'll get to see

before April 2024, and that's a very optimistic assumption as well...

Actually, they could. Sand or other absorbent was often applied to a page to suck up the excess ink via capillary action and then shook off. It wouldn't have been pounce, though, because that is added prior to using the paper, as a form of sizing to make ink not run in the first place.

At that point the ink doesn't need to be dried though, at least not in an extent that requires holding it up to a fire like that. I had actually considered mentioning the method they usually used to dry the ink, because one possibility was that he might've been dumping the material into the fireplace, but decided it didn't fit because of how the page was being handled in the previous frames; any sand, ash, or sawdust that might have been clinging to the letter would have shaken loose while the dike was waking the letter around or spilled all over his desk anyway with the way he handed it to Gozer, and then Gozer is just hanging the page limp so anything left at that point would be falling on the floor instead of in the hearth.

That's the duke flapping the letter, not Gozer.

I'm talking about the bottom left part, where you can see Gozer's sleeve next to the seal being in the fire place, followed by exposing letter to the fireplace's heat in the next panel.

Gozer takes the letter from the duke with it angled one way and presumably grabs the seal (which had been shown to be standing on the duke's desk as Gozer walked in), places the seal in the hearth by the fire to warm, and limply thrusts the paper before the fire at a different angle than he had received it from the duke. If there was any ink left on the paper that hadn't already been dried then it would have ran all over the paper while doing that.
The page after we see him holding the letter up to the fire we see Gozer checking over the letter, with the seal already applied, while holding it up to a candle; he's standing facing a candle and looking back over his shoulder, which implies he's either checking to ensure the seal adhered evenly or he's inspecting to make sure that some other proof is functioning correctly.

If there was any ink left on the paper that hadn't already been dried then it would have ran all over the paper while doing that.

You can have wet ink on paper but not in excess amount that would just drip all over from merely flapping the paper about.

Just take a pen, write on some paper and flap it around, there's a good chance it won't smudge but if you immediately rub your finger on it some might get on your finger.

Gozer checking over the letter, with the seal already applied

No it's not, that's the Duke's signature that you can see when he held it up in the previous page. The speech bubble covers where the seal might be so there's actually no proof of whether the seal has been applied.

Reading this chapter makes me sad. i wonder why....

I wasn't saying that it was the most likely of scenarios, merely that the act of waving the paper like that did not preclude the ink needing to be dried, and provided an explanation of the most commonly used method before blotting paper was developed wherein shaking it to dry the ink would be feasible. That said, look at the duke's hand when he puts the seal in the fire; there's ash and soot on the barrier before the fire grate, so it would have fallen there, rather than just onto the floor, if such was used. Additionally, while sand et al did historically draw away excess ink, that does not intrinsically mean that it left the paper dry, either; it merely absorbed or wicked away excess moisture, and a brief stop in front of a fire would help dry it out further, regardless. Now, ALL THIS ASIDE, in the novel, specifically Volume 5 Chapter 4 Part 7, where the original scene plays out, the Duke waves the paper around playfully, and then uses wax from a candle to provide the sealing wax, and stamps it with a cold seal, so it's definitely a creative liberty taken here that makes it a neat little juxtaposition against the original.

whats all this mirror and merchant shit about. get back to fucking already

 

[yourbaldhead]

wdf no lewd scene again

Elf slave when

Oof, that's gonna be a while. Like, 2030 at a minimum--they would need to skip minor arcs, release longer chapters, and severely shorten the sex scenes.

Because

Spoiler

elf slave is number 5.

 

[ShadowSilence]

fuck ME this manga was NEVER about the girls, was it? It was always a commentary on local and state economics, and regional inflation, wasn't it? FUCK I never saw this coming






I'm kidding of course, it was always about the booba

To add to this, not only did he deliver them faster, but MUCH faster, and was not exhausted by the efforts, which he recognized as being a mistake on his part, since he's still trying to understand exactly how he can fit in properly. And yeah, he's a coward, because every time he's gotten confident, he's been nearly put into the ground, lol. He well recognizes that his powwer comes from his OP cheats and his slaves, which is also part of why he treats them so well; he doesn't want their loyalties to waver. He just doesn't understand how loyal they really are, and, his elven slave shows that that caution is warranted, as she finds out information about him with plans to utilize it to get power for herself, as she is a slave of convenience, rather than of requirement, and the contract is scheduled to end after several years.

 

[Cincinnatus]

Dealing in amber and crystal accelerating skill is all the guy needs. The last slave is a freebie from the duke. xD

Spoiler

Rutina, the Earl of Selmars daughter, was actually a War Trophy.

 

[Cincinnatus]

Is the duke going to give him 200,000 nars to buy unadorned mirrors?

Spoiler

The prices of the mirrors in the manga are way out of whack compared with the prices in the LN. In the LN, Michio sells the mirrors to Gozer for 10,000 nars each, and buys them for between 200 and 300 nars each. Plus he didn't need a commission from a noble to buy them either. Manga writer has never heard of capitalism...

 

[Cincinnatus]

This almost seems like off, michio is most definitely underpowered and underutilizing his Main character powers but nonetheless he is definitely still some random, at less than level 10 in any dungeon and isn’t really known for much besides simple help, why does he have very high profile people interested in him like he genuinely showed nada to earn this recognition the most is that he is a explorer that teleport far not an adventurer but even still none of this explains why the elf chief is this gung-ho about him and other people too, clearly he is still in the very early stages so why he got all this hype??? Is there something I missed

Spoiler

The Duke is assembling an army based on parties of six with an adventurer in each to take them places via Field Walk. Michio with his Warp bonus skill and his boosted MP from secondary jobs is already able to out perform all the other Adventurers. When he helped out during the floods he went the furthest and completed his missions in half the time, barely breaking a sweat. Essentially, he stood out like a sore thumb, and thus the Duke wants to recruit him.

Spoiler

All slave contracts last for 25 years, and whether or not Michio releases Rutina after a couple years, the Duke left up to Michio. He even told him he could sell her if she turned out to be a pain in the ass! Haha! Ofcourse, when it gets right down to it, all these slave girls are essentially Michio's wives, and Sherry mistakes Roxanne as his young wife when they first meet her because of how well she is taken care of...
