@firefox1234 Captive princesses does absolutely nothing the entire story/story arc. Yeah she's really close to becoming the trope but nearly avoided it by slapping that priest. This is a yes or no requirement, no such thing as "close to".
@sunsetchaos I just reread chapter 31. Your argument is just wrong.
1. She was kidnapped by the demons, not Ys, in a false, diverted attack. That's why they have the magic to be able to
teleport a short distance away. Yeah Shin and the gang can chase after them if they ran
but they didn't.
2. It's in Sicily's character to be a pacifist and that's why she didn't harm her captors unless she knows that they're demons. I don't think we've even seen her attacked anything so far (correct me if I'm wrong). Once the phone fell down on the floor (which is at the beginning of the chapter) she immediately knew to trick the priest to reveal his location thus making fighting completely unnecessary.
3. I don't recall that Shin has a radar to detect his allies. The only "radar" that exists is to detect demons by feeling their murderous intent or warped magic or something.
4. You just don't follow the series well enough and trick yourself with these "plotholes" that don't even exist.
And as for the slap to the face, do you really want to harm an important figure of a neighbouring country you're trying to ally? It's Ys' decision to punish the corrupt priest and not an outsider's.
Literally most of the complaints I've read are just from readers who failed to understand the story.
