Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo - Ch. 104 - Miria (7)

[zerio]

The nerd in me is screaming "Bro what do you mean a spear wouldn't be viable for combat, do really think thousands of years of warfare got it wrong??"

The other nerd in me is thinking of all the Miqote Dragoons I get in Duty Finder in FFXIV, and having to walk that back just a tiny bit.

Might be because they'll be in a labyrinth, AKA an enclosed space, rather than an open field. At least, that's my rationalization for it.

I think he's thinking in terms of their party balance as things currently stand before testing her out in combat.

Sherry is already using a spear, so he doesn't have anything against using a spear in the labyrinth.

Miria was talking about her weapon of choice during fishing, so he just wanted to ask again what she used for the labyrinth.

Nah, they use a spear later on. What comes to mind for me is maybe him thinking "harpoon" (given underwater spear fishing and Miria's job), which isn't really a good melee weapon. And then it's either mistranslated, or he's misunderstanding what she means, or he does understand her but the text is ambiguous.

Good enough for a handwave, anyway.

You're correct that he was thinking of harpoon.
The line "Isn't that for fishing?" on pg 10 was それは銛では? in the raw, which I would translate as "are you talking about a harpoon?"

Then he clarified the question "I was asking (about your weapon) for the labyrinth, (not for fishing)."
