Mato Seihei no Slave - Ch. 148 - Counting the Votes

[SpunkyDragon]

This feels a bit contrived, but alright...

Thanks for the chapter!

I don't think it's contrived, she's just that naive.
It has been shown that out of all the chiefs, she's the youngest and the the most inexperienced. And that she looks at most of the other chiefs as "older sister". So Yamashiro exploited that.
She probably feels the same admiration and reverence towards both of them, but Kyouka didn't do anything special about it cause she already trusts and believes in her, while Yamashiro is blatantly using that naivety against her.

We're really about to have two (possibly even three) chapters of just counting votes. Bruh (and I have a strong suspicion Bell is going to flip and vote for Kyoka)

Same here!
Because honestly speaking, Ren didn't do shit when Bell was kidnapped, but Kyoka did.

 

[SpunkyDragon]

She is a teen... with a highly ranked position in the Mato Defense Force. You'd think someone in that position wouldn't be that easily swayed as she was.

I mean, they gave a position to a little kid too. And Ren apparently had that position since she was young, which is why it got to her head.

what is this fighting spirit AFTER the election is in the counting phase

The big red flag regarding Bell for me was the panel where she thought that Ren was being arrogant for thinking she had already won the election.

Yakumo, Fubuki and Bell are 3 out of the 4. There's only one Government person with a vote left

Ah in that case Yakumo will vote Ren, Fubiki will vote Kyouka, the final Gov. Offical will vote Ren, and Bell will Vote Kyouka.

Yeah that is a Sign she may have voted for Kyouka as for the Reason I think her taking part in the battle against the 2 Gods, her knowledge of Ren being one of the closest to her, and finally her witnessing the Battle Between Ren and Kyouka likely is making her Doubt Rens strength would be enough to handle the gods.

I don’t know if Kyoka will win the election, but I’m pretty sure Bell at the very least is gonna vote for her.

I swear the mangaka secretly loves Himari

Blatantly obvious and I'm here for it. Himari best girl. She's certainly filling the empty chief spot when Ren moves on to being PM, based on the last 2 chapters.

Now it's just waiting to see how daring the author will get with this election. I'm in camp Kyouka, however it might be more interesting to see Ren win, mess up and then be blown to bits in a rematch.
