Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - Ch. 67.2

[sailor-erida]

Any knowledge about how to use magic from this world is useless to her. All such magic in that world makes use of the System, which she can no longer use. She was already using magic the same way everyone else was in this world before her "reset".

Not really. Dark magic, space magic and several others work literaly same as magic outside of D'system. Mana by itself and way to use basically same for god's and ordinary people.

I have a feeling that the little elf was kidnapped too. She probably a reincarnator as well, somehow able to recognize the vampire identity looking for help from her, the vampire naturally repulsive against any elves after her experience with Pontimas. I only remember in the anime Pontimas and the elves trying to gather the reincarnator for some reason.

wouldn't that be her teacher then?!

 

[theldras]

they really should cover the other characters from the novel, us manga readers is clueless about a lot of things as a result of them leaving all that out.
oh, and its been 2 years and she still struggles to simply walk for a bit? and not even a hint of recovering any of her powers? what has she been doing day by day? just sitting in a chair and stare at a wall? lie in bed and stare at the cieling?
hiding from knife ears or not, traveling or not, there would be plenty of time and oportunuities for her to train to get stronger, both physically and magically, and work on recovering her skills.

 

[Aegisx15]

So, does she have power or not? If she's incompatible with the magic in that world, having now a body from Earth, it means this is what she will forever be, and definitely not a god. Having watched the anime, that's not the case, though. But if she does have power, then it should manifest somehow. I can't imagine a situation where your body is overflowing with power enough to suppress a nuclear explosion, but you can't even feel it, forget about using it for anything, after two whole years.

It's not about compatibility. She has enough energy to be classified a God, she just doesn't know how to cook. The process of using spells and skills were facilitated by the system and now she has to relearn just about all of that. Imagine someone asking you to do magic in your current body. Where do you even start? That's the point she's at.

Unfortunately this is an issue of time of manga adaptation vs novel. Reading a novel gets your questions answered in like an hour or two. Reading a manga as it comes out takes months, if not years.

 

[Tyran272]

It isn't just an issue of intellectual knowledge, but also instinctual. She needs to learn how to be able to touch, harness and use her power by herself, which is basically learning to use a new muscle you never used.

And that isn't something that can be taught by a book. Not that any book would tell her how, everyone in the planet takes the system and skills for granted.

The manga didn't cover it yet but there's a reason why she struggles like that (that you can guess with her appearance) :

Spoiler: White's body

She's an albinos (white hair and skin, red eye...). She can't walk in the sun and in there's no sun protection in that period either. And since she can't use any power, she can't defend herself against it either.
That wasn't a problem before thanks to her high stats and her defense against fire.

 

[Gravitypull]

Man, she's still going through it after 2 years 💀

 

[XNFEdayo]

Baby Sophia - embarrassed about the topic of sex

Teen Sophia -

I'm just happy they finally made her cute. Her infant design and Shiro's Half-human design are far inferior to the designs from both the LN and anime.
I'm now praying they don't downgrade her....personality as they did with Shiro.

 

[stilgar]

Man, this manga's storytelling is a mess. Feels like you need to read a novel to even barely understand what's going on.

Sounds like a you problem

 

[groudonvert]

Sounds like a you problem

Nah he's right, even with Sophia and Ariel PoV added out of nowhere, they skipped a no-small amount of volume 8 already.

 

[Kaarme]

Imagine someone asking you to do magic in your current body. Where do you even start? That's the point she's at.

That's not an appropriate comparison because magic doesn't exist on Earth and thus none of us have magic in our bodies. Shiro does have an absolutely massive amount of it, so surely she should be able to feel it one way or another. That feeling should guide her forward.

The youngest among us might live long enough to actually get a chance to buy a brain chip of some kind, which is also something hard to imagine before you have it. I don't mean a chip to fix a medical condition like epilepsy, but something that significantly adds to the normal functionality of a brain. Before you have it, it's kind of useless to ask where do you even start. I doubt even Elon Musk really understands, despite being the one who wants to have them in his industry portfolio.

Well how is she supposed to know the feeling of it when she never used it before ? ^^ Her skills helped her to do absolutely everything. The most basic stuff for a spider (webs) is also a skill in that world and since she was a human in her previous life, she has no idea how to do that either.

 

[gum_rummy]

Thanks for the translation.
Personaly, I'm all to remain stuck to a particular character you like instead of having to follow the whereabouts of tens of other characters you don't care about. When I watched the anime, I basically skipped after some time all the sequences with the heroes which were so generic and boring to keep it on the spider, because she was original and fun.
The problem is that to make it work, the writing must be good and introduce proper information from the other stories at a proper time. Not sure it's always properly done here, although this elf thing is not a good example: if there wasn't a LN, there would be a mystery over what this young elf is about and it would be interesting.

That’s what it think. I read the novels, but skipped most of the human chapters (minus the old mage).

Little Elf’s mystery will be revealed in time.

How did you learn to walk as a tiny kid, despite never having done it before? You instinctively knew you had legs, muscles, and some strength you trained as a crawling baby. You had your developing sense of balance. Gradually got on your feet, using the support of solid objects nearby. Then you took a few steps. The rest is history.

 

[AnotherDuck]

Oh, that monster.

A smile that can fell dragons.

And her. Tiny elf.

Nice Mega Man sprites.

Well yes, but in case of White it's like having a bike with little wheels then she has to use a huge motorbike without anyone that can explain to her how to use it... and she can't get her bike back.

 

[Rayla89]

This chapter kinda made it feel like

Spoiler

Teacher

(the elf girl) was the reason the elves are so desperate to get their hands on Sophia, though I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that. The former may have just been an attempt to get Sophia to lower her guard.

After what happened with the G-Fleet and the bomb I'd think capturing Shiraori would be Potimas' top priority now, not sure why they're still so fixated on killing off a random(?) half-vampire toddler.

 

[stilgar]

I don't really care

 

[linkhuesitos15]

Fuck I'm still mad because we loose Shiro's shiros (you'll always be remembered)

Spoiler: Boobs

Good lord! How can they stuck 2 whole novel chapters in 1 manga chapter. At this point that is basically speedrunning.

In this month's skipped content corner we have:
- The puppets been weirdos trying to behead Shiro.

Spoiler

TLDR: Fiel was poking Shiro while she was doing her usuar dead weight stuff (ride sick, convulsing, etc), then Ael comes to stop Fiel and gave her a Karate Chop in the head.

Ael: The Eldest sister, usually act as their leader and is in charge a keeping the order in control.
Fiel: The prankster sister who struggle really hard to understand whats good or wrong.
Riel: Basically a robot. She likes just to observe the others. She just stays still without doing anything unless it's really necessary.
Sael: Literally a Retard. The youngest sister, unlike Riel she actively tries to avoid doing anything. She only have 2 modes, either total destruction of the enemy or background wallpaper (can spend literal hours just staring at the wall.

- Oni 1: The Ogres Origin

Spoiler

Sasajima Kyouya was reincarnated as a goblin.
In this world goblins are creatures that live in very close communities.
The whole village care about every member. Childs are cared and trained by adults, after reaching adulthood they receive an option (farm work o hunting groups).
Hunting groups are gifted pressed flower charms by their loved one before parting. After returning the fallen one are mourned by the whole village who pray to the goddess.

In the current time, Kyouya (now as an ogre) is slaughtering adventures that were trying to kill him. Guided by his blinding rage to kill anyone after his village was destroyed years ago.

- Shiro's breasts been groped by a drunk adventurer... Also Shiro stopping Sael from blowing half of the city to kill said adventurer.

From last volume but if Mangaka-kun actually cared it could have been mentioned in this chapter
- Ariel been an adventurer. How pretty much all the money she have used in the journey comes from her bank account in the Adventurer Guild.... Also, she's filthy rich 'cuz she have saved pretty much all the money she earned thanks to she doing her own clothes and eating monsters.

Well I guess that was a 2 year time skip?
