Curious about what Miria experiments are? anyone able to fill me in with novel spoilers?
The only thing I can guess its likely to be is that after Strom said about leaving demon/devil descendants probably wasn't possible that she has taken it upon herself to get pregnant with a child from some demon(s)
The way she acted after Zest made his comment her hands move to her stomach from her sides normal action when someone is attempting to conceive
She seems to be the only female remaining in the demon/devils forces at the castle unless she using the commoners.
So could someone please enlighten me. Thanks

Except he's the one who said he could have used the gate, not me. I wasn't pointing out a plothole, just his stupidity.

@Doenyon You were saying that he should’ve gone straight to the place though, which was already disproven by Grim. What Shin meant by using gate is by taking the team to the place closest to the attack zone, which he didn’t do because he was just thinking about flying there as fast as possible. That was a miss on his part which he realized and regretted, but your miss was because you weren’t paying attention to what they were saying.

"They say the fool lives long. Remember that."
I don't get it. 🤔
So you are more powerful militarily and you're going around saving other countries with no pay, and you're also inviting them to an alliance so they don't feel 'threatened' (after you went out of your way to save them from imminent destruction)? This logic is confusing me (it feels very 'Japanese', not sure how to elaborate, but it's a feel I've gotten from numerous manga, particularly many isekais).
What are they going to do if they feel threatened by the nation that won't be attacking anyone anyway? Are they going to attack the people who singlehandedly wiped out the threat that could obliterate all their nations?
"If all the countries started attacking us en masse"
Hold the fuck up. Why would they attack you who is helping them with no payment over Strom who annihilated an empire and now has goons going around trying to wipe out countries unprovoked? Wouldn't they really obviously do everything they could to get on your good side? Fucking duh? This story is getting retarded atm.
(I am slightly amazed no one commented on the utter absurdity of that)
Why is Mark acting like he can't have a big nice wedding? He's basically joined the most elite group of magicians in the country, getting rich is just a matter of time.
Gah, why it suddenly pretending to be a pseudo-harem story? The 'threatening smiling girl that scares everyone' trope always feels forced, but it particularly came out of nowhere. (doesn't help that Cecily hasn't developed enough of a personality)
Man, despite the early setup about sensing demons, they sure do suck at sensing devils.
Wow, I had a lot of complaints in this chapter...

@bushwhacker2k yeah, there's been a bit of little and not so little things that have been making me go 'hmm??' in this story so far and they just seem to be piling up as I read more and more.
I for one still couldn't understand these very willing underlings of Strom and how and why they are following him. They're basically submitting themselves to be his disposable playthings (and he isn't hiding that fact either), so I've been having a hard time taking them seriously.

The way of thinking is rather Japanese, but it's solid statecraft. From an emotional standpoint it seems unfair, but minimizing possible ill will between countries as much as possible is smart.

People do stupid things when they're scared, and it isn't a far cry for people to get scared of Earlshide. All it takes is some influential folks thinking that Earlshide wants to conquer them and so they decide to strike first.

@Skyrider I don't buy it at all. "Solid statecraft" is giving this far more credit than it deserves.
Protecting a country under threat of imminent destruction won't minimize ill-will to begin with?
You didn't address the obvious threat from Strom at all.
The entire reason this could even be considered slightly viable is because the protagonist is an overpowered isekai protag, and thus none of the other countries poses the slightest threat to begin with. In reality, this would never be a stance a country would take.

In the short term, yes. But when the obvious threat is gone, people will go back to being afraid of the the threat that remains.
Look what happened to Strom. He did nothing other than helping people, and people went around and took advantage and incited people against him. They're just trying to reduce the possibility of that outcome.
Well yes, in real life, countries with an obvious military advantage over their neighbours probably wouldn't make peaceful overtures. They would be more likely to go the opposite direction. That's not exactly a good thing though.

Wasn't the whole point what would happen AFTER the demon threat was taken care of? Without Strom and gang to draw everyone's focus, then it's "Them Earlshide folks have mages and magic items that make ours look like jokes." The translation quality leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm pretty sure that whole conversation was about the loss of a common enemy and the other countries being bitches about one country that isn't them having that much power.
