Is this gonna make me depressed every chapter or something? Poor guy.

 

[razorshaleh]

Damn, more this manga gets new chapters, more it feels like Raoul from Fukushuu o Koinegau Saikyou. difference is that MC’s slow-life arc starts from this chapter, but it’s still wrapped in sad story

Thank you for translating

At least they acknowledge that the reason he's a curmudgeon is trauma. Makes me think this will be a healing manga with a sad/edgy starting point.

 

[TheWritingWriter]

This could become a very cruel story in so many ways

 

[Kaarme]

Just use the rejuvenation magic on the professor, but very moderately. Like five years younger. He should still have most of his relevant knowledge, but should also be able to cooperate.

Imagine your whole life opp just forget all their memory and becoming so weak that it's technically a different person with similar faces, they are just right up front within reach, but you cant kill them.

This story either gonna hurt so much, oozing of the tension, or just straight up dumbed down to "They are not the same, so i will love them" switch without buildup.

I hope they gonna go the hurting way cuz that story setup is so over the top that it will be wasted potential by much if the author go to the oozing tension route or dumbed it down.

Tarsem being such a two-bit loser crashed my expectations, but it's possible Valburga didn't rejuvenate herself but someone else did it to her. She might also have had nothing to do with the murder of Blood Hound's wife. This could have been a coup to both get rid of Brad and Val, by turning Val into an enemy of a state and Val into a harmless child. Alas, Tarsem's behavior before his death suggests otherwise.

Regardless of what happened to Val, for the time being Brad just wants to restore her memories so that he can kill her while she's aware of who she is. Naturally we can assume he never will. But whether the author decides to make her guilty or not is a different matter. If she isn't, the whole revenge theme disappears that moment. If she is, this will be some sort of perdition and redemption story, assuming she will recover those memories. If she doesn't, this will simply be a quiet story of Brad's suffering.

Who read the novels or Raws, gimme a bit of spoiler..

The professor

Spoiler

wife died, after that his mind shut off and everyone in the institute left, the guy with the bad character is the only trust disciple left and he is pissed because he is taking of everything alone, he is annoyed at outsiders because many wanted to get the professor research.
The raws are very limited but MC knows he can't use his help, both come up with a way to bring him out the stupor but abandon it istantly because it would be too cruel, to create a illusion of his wife, but it would last moments and it would be like if she died a second time.
They find a catalyst to bring back the bitch memories anyway, but is useless because it only gives back the shown age memories (4 years old).

That is good theory, but assuming she is just used as a tool, then the whole revenge plot might become inflated or dropped, but most likely there will be a shift of goal for him when his entire purpose of life (at that moment) shattered because a failed expectation. There is a lot for him to get his revenge on, but the focus for him for now seems to be Val's life.

I would love to see how he will handle the truth if she could recover her memory and the author going to the redemption arc, while also accounting the time he spent with her to lower the tension to allow him rational decision capability.

Val being guilty is pretty much the only way I could see any real depth to appear in this story. Though it's not especially pleasant depth. Of course her memories never returning and Brad thus never knowing if she is involved or not is another way, but it's pretty ambiguous.

I did think of another theory for her condition: she wanted to escape from the organisation as well, just like Brad, but didn't have the guts to just walk out. So, she used that spell on herself to render herself utterly useless for the organisation. This would also mean she's not behind the murder. It could explain why an idiot like Tarsem could arrange it, though, since Val wasn't in control anymore. This would make a pretty meaningless story. But like I said, Tarsem being such a disappointment more or less made me expect nothing from this.

Thank you for the translation. I know he is probably gonna end up accepting her as his daughter in the end, but I hope she does something to redeem herself.

 

[K_Takuya]

Reminds me of a manga where an exorcist adopts a demon child. It's definitely building up to a climax where Brad makes a decision to kill her or not, so I'm expecting a good portion of the series to be spent on both building a relationship between him and Val and stoking his hatred and lust for vengeance. I really hope the climax explodes in a dramatic way.

Again this is either a by the numbers "she was only a figure head and did nothing wrong, also she has a super sad backstory and is like super cute" found family type of story... or can we be surprise with her actually being guilty of something?, not even asking her to be guilty of all, but might it be just a bit?, like the first order was simple but then it got taken way out of context and she gave the final order and was too late to actually know what was happening...

Imagine this: there is a siege at your HQ, everyone is just being decimated by the very guy you took all that was barely keeping him grounded, and now you know this monster will soon enter your office and if you are lucky, you will die soon, but you know you are all out of luck. You hear the commotion outside, the screams the fire and the only thing you can do now is using that one spell, you make a gamble, you wont die, but wont be fully saved either, but the final point is that you will survive, you know the guy he wont kill a child, not a girl or at the very least, you know he wants a proper fair revenge. So you use it, you loose all that makes you, well you. But you are alive and eventually you will recover...

I kind of want to see that... but the author is already making the girl the center of attention by making her cute and stuff, so she will be innocent and she will survive and probably be quite a disgusting replacement for the child that he had before and everyone will be "happy"

 

[kaminomikan]

tsk tsk tsk, if her memories are just sealed, then she can pay, just give her mercy (a quick and painless death)

 

[HelioCesar]

Damn bro, can't catch a w.

 

[chanzy7]

Her reaction to getting a bag is adorable.

Seeing scholars who use to talk so elegantly and passionately about their topics of choice succumb to dementia is incredibly difficult and heartbreaking. Happened to my father. He didn’t deserve to go like that.
