Maseki Gurume: Mamono no Chikara wo Tabeta Ore wa Saikyou! - Ch. 60 - The Chancellor's Objective

she should have said, "I won't become your wife" not "I can't"

 

[KuroViLolitannia]

I saw the images in this chapter before and now I see the text in the bubble lol. Thanks for the translation.

as much as we all want to see some murder, i think that's a smart policy. Clearly their country is more advanced and powerful than anywhere else in the world so the promise/doctrine ensures that they won't be seen as a serious threat, while also ensuring that nobody will ever try to hit them first. a decent sword and shield

Si vis pacem, para bellum

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼❤️🔥 it's properly translated and understandable ❤️

 

[yummyyummy]

i was waiting for the readable update. thank you for the hard work

He would be guided to witness sparing match Ain vs General. It would be on much bigger scale than he or his father could probably achieve.

Spoiler: the best part

the best part is that he runs after seeing it, lil bro pussies out like a sissy

Care to expand on that? Any particular reason they won't write anymore, at odds with the publisher/editor/fans, writer's block, something else?

I wish I knew, the JP release of volume 9 happened back in mid 2021, I think it was June. There were no further LN releases after that. From what I could research around, Kadokawa was the publisher for the JP side. I looked up on Novel Updates and saw author had a second novel under them. My guess is that the author just wanted to focus on their new work that started in the same year.


This isn't the first time this has happened to me where an LN author just stops writing for a series. One of the previous times for me was the Infinite Stratos LN. But that author left us hanging with nothing resolved, just cliffhanger. Then author just like disappeared or something.

I'm kinda hoping they go to war not because of the first prince but rather the third prince going crazy trying to get fmc back.

I mean, where would be the fun in that?
It would be like seeing Sauron's full army invading the Shire. No real combat being done and everyone knows the outcome.

I went to check if the webnovel was still around, and it is(on kakuyomu), seems main story is concluded but there's still new parts coming, last update was October this year.

I had forgotten about the "No Pre-Emptive Strikes" rule that the founding king of Ishtalica had made a fundamental part of the country's rules and traditions.
So because of that, even though the populace and the current King himself want to wage a war of hate and vengeance against Hyme, they can't because it would go against the very foundation of their national identity, and they have to give Hyme the opportunity to apologize.

Yup

So it's not that Ain needs to build up moral outrage and a buy-in from the populace to go to war against Hyme; the country already wants to crush the yapping chihuahua that is Hyme. It's that Ishtalica needs the legally and morally acceptable casus belli to act on their resentment.

Yeah I mean do you remember when the nobles first heard about what happened to their second princess and Ain? If that's how the nobles reacted, how much more for the commoners who Ain saved and who have benefited from the actions of his mum?
They'd probably go mad with rage should they find out the truth

And from how Ain reacted to the Chancellor and his grandfather's maneuvering, it seems like he doesn't care about getting revenge on Hyme.

He really doesnt need to get revenge on them, he already knows how powerful they are, he can easily crush them by himself even if every single abled bodied person in Hyme were to attack him in a war

I'm guessing his thought process is "why should I waste time waging a military campaign against these assholes when I've got waifus to have slice-of-life dates with, and my bureaucracy can handle crushing them economically and through international reputation without my interference".

Well there's that and

Spoiler: Annnnnddd

because he's the reincarnation of the first king

later you'll find why this as an isekai is shit, but really works well as a reincarnation story within the same world

Actually they tricked the Hyme Royal Family into apologizing, the citizens didn't even care about going to war with Hyme. The survey as stated was whether Ain should ascend to the throne immediately. They left that detail off of the results documents and carefully worded themselves so the Hyme King would jump to the conclusion that Ishtalica was ready for Total War.

Now that the apology is done, Hyme has formally acknowledged that they're in a subordinate position to Ishtalica. Any further attempts to antagonize them will 100% lead to instant and total annihilation on their part, since it's no longer an attack without any justification behind it.

Thnks for the chapter!

Thanks for the clarification. I had missed that.

But isn't the indifference of the common citizenry to a war of resentment against Hyme only for now, while they still don't know how their popular 2nd Princess and Crown Prince were treated by Hyme?
Wouldn't that indifference turn to resentment and calls for bloody vengeance if Hyme's treatment of Ain, as well as the kidnapping and enslaving of Ishtalican citizens, were to be found out by the common citizenry?

 

[Wolvenworks]

Finally…legibility.

 

[Vengeance22]

Phew, finally a good translation instead of that something that came out a couple of days ago...

 

[CheesiBoye]

Could you imagine the emotional damage he would've had if she just said, "no, you smell bad and look weird" as her parting words to the prince.

 

[Kyofu43]

don't worry, 61 makes up for it and future chapters too
would honestly be very interesting what they do after 62 and 63

does that mean the translation is behind and the manga is currently on chapter 63 rn or am i not understanding u?

Infinite stratos author was something else entirely, not a hiatus but not a drop either, he open yt channel btw.

ok her mom is incredibly based, why leave your country easily when you can expose all the corruption and them bail after giving your daughters "captors" all the information they needed
