This is dumb with the slave collar hurting her as he had already completed the contract so he would have had no authority to do it. Dumb way to have that drama moment.

Overall though the plan was decently thought out by the writer so not too bad other then that drama snaffu.

Remember when this world's slavery system was described as something beneficial to the poor/needy? Yeah... As expected, that doesn't really seem to be the case.

From chapter 10:

I mean to be fair its illegal to treat them bad so theres clearly risks and a nobel isnt gonna get done. Yes I think the justification of having slavery here as good was dumb and also the MC just accepting it was also very dumb.

Well, the name is confusing.
Actually I made a mistake making the nickname lmao. It should be quiet instead of quite.

As for the name itself, Silas derives from the greek name silvanus
That, I can understand. Back in the ol' days of Geocities, and Zelda .com being a porn site, I had a user name with "manic" because I misspelled "maniac"

I think the last thing I did with that "ffmanic" name was create custom warcraft 3 maps. Memory lane.

Is it "quiet" because a forest isn't noisy like a city? Now that I think about it, wooded areas could have been called sylvan because they are quiet, not the other way around. Don't have a good resource to poke around the history of words, but am interested. - should have finished reading the thread before connecting.

My interpretation is, like law, the magic contract need a kind of confirmation that each party has completed their obligations. I interpreted it like that because, from what I learned, it considered to be a thievery once you perform an action to claim possession of an item, like grabbing it.

In this case I guess the exchange happened when the chick contracted Cornelia (the family claimed the summon) and Tougo grab Interia (he claimed Interia), thus the contract was confirmed by both sides. It could transfer Interia the moment the Phoenix contracted too, but if Glaren killed her immediately after, that might not count as contract breaching. So just to be safe, it waits, IMO.

ahhh.. I'm very disappointed with the author... why didn't you make a plot like this...

disappointed with the contract concept which has many loopholes, such as taking revenge in an indirect way.

disappointed with his friend doesn't help at all from a political point of view (nobility)

even though the slow life plot is pretty good for a series like this.

thank you very much for the translation.

I'm glad that the MC went for the loophole in the contract, but am I the only one feeling that the drama with this noble scum is far from over?
If the MC is planning to run away as the end solution, it seems likely that he's not intending to end the drama just yet anyway.

Thanks for the mass release!!
Also it'd be really funny if the chubby birdo back in the forest was the real phoenix all along xD

except that only helps if he gave it to someone he doesn't want to strengthen. A full power one would be much more helpful in her hands.
A full power one would shrink once it becomes her familiar anyway (since it would adapt to her levels of magical power), and this way they don't get an extra reason to enact vengeance. (Not that they need a reason to act like jerks, but it might be better for the kids to grow up together anyway)

1. Great release, thank you; maybe need a better PR, but still great; thanks.

2. Ha! Contract fulfill, motherfucker! Go explode!

3. Dearest MC, please remember to never do an enemy a small injury unless it is in the course of leading then to a catastrophic downfall. (IOW: don't leave these shitbags alive, pls)
