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

[Rand564]

This really shows me how I don't hate someone for voting one way... I hate their reasons when they are stupid.

Konomi voting Ren isn't a problem... it's the absolutely retarded reason why she did it that gets me...

Of Course She's a Muscle-Head.

I think it's worse than that. Muscle heads tend to be emotional, so in some regard she should have stuck with kyouka and Yuki. I suspect one of rens ability, the ability she "showed her" could have something to do with brainwashing. It would go a long way to explaining alot.

This is what I thought immediately. Wild how many people can't think beyond what's shown in a panel.

It took me a day to process what had happened before i came to the conclusion. It would explain how everything has just gone so swimmingly for her and also why she dislikes kyouka so much and yuki gets on her nerves when she can't dominate him. I think kyouka's power makes her immune to the brainwashing power, and by extension same for yuki. Tenka might also just be too lovestruck to be under control or meeting yuuki and falling in love could have snapped her out of it.

I'm calling it, kyouka lose, and then the next arc will be how worse management under ren is, and then some sort of civil war, and then "Oh noo, it turns out kyouka is the right commander after all"

I'm thinking if Ren wins she tries to take Yuuki and he's like nope and quits/goes with his sister. Forcing a split in the MDF over those that want to protect him for his powerful slave states and those that will kill him for being a traitor.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Yuuki can always just skedaddle and join the mato peeps. I'm sure the enemies will even help him do that just to get rid of Ren.

That thing with Konomi was so contrived, like really? How about if Yuuki shows you something too?

 

[MillsGiz]

Bruh Konomi could have at least had a better reason to vote for Ren, like after everything she's seen about Ren all Ren had to do was show an ability lmao my god hahaha

 

[KilTor5]

This is a win Kyouka must have. Ren really needs to get knocked down a notch. She's so arrogant it sickens me.

Thanks for the translation Ards

I mean I was one of those people, but why do you think being biased is good? The very definition of the word is unfairly prejudiced…

Scratch that, better question. Would you really want a commander, someone in charge of the lives of her team and the people she protects, to really choose what’s perceived as a less effective option… because they’re friends? Because she’s crushing on a guy? Instead of balancing the information she has on the candidates, and choosing fairly?

I can’t help but think if she did choose Kyouka because she wants to ride the Yuki train again she’d get drugged even worse than now. Tenka doesn’t count because she’s super up front with what she wants and her goals.

i am talking with a view to make a fictional characters. it's not that bad. they are going to be developed. even in real world it's not that bad too. it's their own life to choose what they want to become. For this case of the chapter, the problem is author doesn't make it a solid reason to make her chose ren. That kind of trade is so weak of a reason that only drugged person would change her own bias

 

[Sancho_2]

This got to be the worst cliffhanger ever! But since we're here, this is my hunch: Government Muscle Lady and Yakumo will vote for Ren, while Himari's milf and Bell, will vote for Kyouka, being this last vote the winning one, while also destroying Ren.

I would think that too but then they are making a big deal out of the thunder gods hiding their strength or something. That's a chekovs gun that's haven't been shot at

 

[zuflis11]

This feels a bit contrived, but alright...

Thanks for the chapter!

and also muscle for brains moment right there. only battle junkies like her would guaranteed to switch sides from seeing power. so no one else need to be showed that.
a classic political move than a show of trust

 

[DemonHide]

Not the most exciting election we've had recently, but it's guilty of inciting my erection!

 

[Zwamp]

Uhm what. How does being shown a secret ability make a good leader? Thats just bribery from what i'm seeing. Vote for me and i'll give you a cushy position.

I mean it depends. If it was "I showed you one of my secrets to show that I trust you, now vote for me", that is dumb as shit. But if it is "I showed you one of secret techniques that are a sure way to kill anyone and anything", I could understand it since Ren have shown that she is also good at politics if you agree with her on other topics it makes sense.

 

[iseedrawnpeople]

started off with milkers for the continued milking of the election. fair enough

 

[JoJoBar]

Kyouka must win. I need to see Ren absolutely lose her shit.

aside from seeing her shit eating grin as she loses, i just wanna see her act like a dog again, it's been too long she wasn't humiliated by our boy

 

[EnclawGR]

Disappointed in Konomi. Even if you are a kid you are also a Chief. Being easily swayed like that shows the lack of maturity for such a role.

 

[AyanokojiKiyotaka01]

Konomi got manipulated and she fell for it😭

 

[kaikalaila]

Ya know what, I'm glad the votes aren't that confirmed. Konomi is not under the bias of friends and stuff. Not being 'hostage' by 'YUUKI GETTING BISECTED'.

Power is needed to lead and protect which Ren shown. Even a holding back and limited Ren vs all out Kyouka Yuuki fight prove who is best to lead. Also the need of many outweigh the few.

Only thing I hate is the vote is gonna take another 5 chapters. Each voter getting a flashback and backstory + some random monologueing.
