How does a king, whose real power depends on his relationship with the nobles, doesn't understand the power of relationships? 😂
"The manager!"
"As if that's needed!"
...said the king, the kingdom's supposed-to-be-competent manager.
Sure, let's fire the leader! He's just clinging to that position, of a powerful adventuring group, for no reason! Right? Right?!
Seriously, mangas need to rely less on making these authority figures so brain-dead. Much of what MC does is exactly what the king's expected to do! Or is the king going to abdicate soon? 😂
