I not sure what this gesture is, what exactly is he implying? Is he wiggling his finger, pinching, making a jerk off motion? I can't tell.

I think that generally rubbing your thumb and index finger together like that refers to money. But his reaction seems to indicate it is something else. Since there is some distance between the fingers and they are not actually rubbing, it might mean "short"/"small"/"tiny", but I have no idea how that is supposed to be used as a verb... Nor why it would be considered bad by mc.

I'm so sick of this "black hair is special" trope. Cripes. Even if it's silly, it's overused like crazy at this point.
The good ol' insertion of a character with East Asian features into a medieval European-ish fantasy world. Classic isekai Manga/Manhwa trope.

I can already foresee someone eating white rice, miso and soy sauce in this world and having a culinary epiphany.

Or dare I say, mayonase!
None may defy the might of UMAMI!
It never ceases to amuse me how isekai writers put the most common bodily features of the human race even in medieval Europe, black hair and eyes, as the rarest and most rare and special thing in the world.
Especially when blond hair and green/blue eyes are a minority even in Europe.

oh neat, longer chapter, unless you combined all the "chapter 4 part 1" and so on lol

you'd think there'd be more guards keeping watch to make sure the 'street urchins' dont' cause fights around the common stores

lol the 'blessed' thing sure is interesting/conveniently timed
Or dare I say, mayonase!

not too fond of mayo personally but unless bird feed is also expensive i'm surprised more of the 'slums' ppl wouldn't also raise chickens

That's not that gross hand gesture hisoka from hxh did before is it? (I am really hoping it's not)

So they have a mage, a merchant and I guess a buffer so far, would be nice if their little gang grows bigger.

Thanks for the tl!

What's hilarious about it is the most distinctive feature of Asians is not hair but their mono eyeild, it makes your eyes look small and in some cases slanted. It's the main reason why ignorant people think that anime and manga characters are white since the eyes look 'normal'. There is a surgery that is popular in asia but south korea in particular called a 'double eyelid surgery'. The results can sometimes be quite surprising.

So to me the black hair trope just comes across as being hilarious oblvious to the rest of the world around them. "what's different between us and european people?" "uuuhhh...they have...blond hair?".

Goblin Slayer, the early days.

They have the Thief (daggers and appraisal skills), the Black Mage and now the White Mage. All they need is the Warrior and they can start raising their stats by beating themselves up!

I think it's suggesting he picked pockets.

Well, following the typical tropes, an adventurer/hunter/parent will show up deus ex machina style and will save the children.
Alternatively the MC somehow gains more power....but I highly doubt it since this doesn't seem to be that kind of manga.

I'm always surprised when I learn that a black and white manga character has blue hair.

I read this chapter, then afterwards, back at the title page, looked at the cover. "wait, that's the fire mage? she had blue hair?!"
