imagine you're traveling with a cute dragon, and it casually fly on a nuke battery.
even deactivated, you'll be wary...

People seem to be having fun with the language! I wanna join! I wanna join!Today I will try to help with the discussed sentence on page 7 that seems to confuse some people.
I personally think it roughly translates to: "If you can, could you carry it?" or "Can you somehow get it out?" eventually, which I think is least probable translation it would somehow "I can't get it out, could you help?"
And obviously people shouldn't really have problems to tell the first one on page 3 is just "stay close to me" or "Come with me".
I don't have anything to back it up, I just learn languages through osmosis and they somehow end up correct, that's how I learned english, see you in next chapters!
That one line about this battery weighing just as much as the empty battery at the village picked my interest.
So, both batteries weigh the same, and they weigh thrice as much as the dinosaurs. Per chapter 12, dinos are estimated to be 3m tall; seems close enough to an achillobator to me (5 meters long, so maaaybe 3m tall if upright). Those are estimated to be 250kg, putting the batteries in the 750kg range.
Square-cube law (mecha fans know this one) means the new battery, being "half the size" should have 1/8th the volume. All things equal (aka, no charge) that should mean 1/8th the mass. Where's the remaining 656.25kg coming from?
Components that don't miniaturize well, containment layers that remain the same thickness... The remainder has to be due to charge, but we don't know what the proportions are here.
I could make some wild assumptions: pretend "dry" mass is indeed 1/8th, ancient magitech civilizations knew the secret to 1:1 mass-energy conversion, cows are spherical, and neither I nor our dear Dioota fudged any numbers. So we can just plug in e = mc^2 and claim these things hold 58.9 exajoules of charge (aka 58.9 * 10^18 J). Five times the global nuclear arsenal, no biggie.
These seem too numerous for the planet to have survived this long if they're known to explode, so I'm probably way off.
Hopefully we'll get some better numbers soon.

Well that would be a stupendous twist! The cutie pie who seems super helpful is actually exploiting his ignorance to further her nefarious goals… what a great turn that would be!If Myaa turns out to be a mega villain

I just found this in the recommended section and devoured it. This is fantastic and everything I want in an Isekai. The MC isn’t a Mary Sue who has everything handed to him but at the same time random characters aren’t putting obstacles in his way for no reason that are somehow easily overcome by his harem of overpowered girls that he can’t decide between. He’s a regular Japanese guy and doesn’t have the ability to turn a Stone Age tribe into a modern civilization in a few chapters thanks to some “cheat” or being Japan’s only High school aged Bear Grils who moonlights as an early modern engineer, compounding pharmacist and Michelin Star chef on his days off. Oh and the Tribe of 20 people actually are proficient at the tasks they have presumably been doing their whole lives so the MC can’t just show up and immediately be better than their masters. Not to mention that with such a small tribe, the concept that they might accept an outsider without hostility, while not universal by any means is much more likely than in many cultures than most Isekai protags get dropped into (especially those based on theocracies and feudalistic medieval societies.)
So basically I have truly enjoyed these first 16 chapters, and look forward to many more.
