The MC skews a man through the chest with a sword, Slice of Life indeed .

On a side note, I do like how down to earth & gritty this series has been, with the previous chapters fleshing out how less knowledge people have regarding magic in general:

• Chapter 1 & 2 has people completely underestimating just how dangerous magicians can be, with us seeing the fallout from that chapter with the 2 magicians commenting how the incredible dangerous Kuon is.
• Chapter 4 & 5 had conflict over a magear that neither the peddlers or the bandits actually understood what it is.

Kuon is also at least a few centuries old and is also evidently one of the strongest magicians in the setting, yet her desire to do her own thing and not interacting with institutes also makes her not well known in the current era.

I also like how Gull is kind of a meathead, but is also introspective on his own capabilities & limitations, evidently in this chapter but also in chapter 3.

I really liked that arc, because of how it introduced us readers to just how esoteric a magear can be.

The other possibility is that the original commenter perhaps thought that slice of life meant cutting someone down and taking their life, literally a slice of someone’s life.

Originally wrote it as a joke, but thinking about it, it’s the internet, anything is possible.

Really like it so far.

Crow guy is fun. Hope he doesnt turn out to be a bad guy.

Page 6, panel 4 has a weird slip of conjugation.

Gull says that he wasn't able to save the hostage, and would've had to watch her die. The first one should instead be wouldn't've, since the statement he's making something of a speculative declaration, rather than a completely affirmative one.

And yes, 'wouldn't've' looks strange, but it's nonetheless grammatically sound if space didn't permit for a full 'wouldn't have.'

You're right, I fixed it. Thank you.

Thank God someone notice that. What IT'S that supposed to be? Foot or hand. It bends weirdly.

It's a typical shonen. Paper thin story and super convenient plot points and character interactions, carried by unnecessary combat to appease young readers.

That rat mercenary appears suddenly out of nowhere inside a forest even though MC was traveling for weeks by foot and carriage. Somehow he is now a friend of MC even though they only shared a single meal and five pages of interactions together. And MC will help him to save his family without any kind of compensation even though he is a mercenary and technically already contracted.

I've seen this exact stories time and time again, so I can tell with confidence this story ain't going anywhere for at least another 20 chapters or so. I personally don't have the patience and endurance for that anymore so this was the last chapter for me.
