Was because I read the novel in a poor MTL translation website but I don't remember the Ex realizing her dates with the MC were extremely expensive...? She was always like a spoiled brat in the novel until she knows the truth and karma starts to beat her hard... Honestly I appreciate this touch here in the manga.
MC is rich and his new disciple will eventually be his woman, I’m sure. So he doesn’t have to work and he replaced a scheming bitch with a faithful partner who’s a lot younger and hotter. I can kind of understand why he’s not spending his time plotting revenge. Living his own life is already t best revenge.
So the ex didn't like home dates so never went to his place to see the massive penthouse and just assumed all these nice looking restaurants he took her to were super cheap because... she didn't ask about the price. She then cheated on him to the point of getting engaged to someone else. Yeah, I think he's dodged a bullet with that fool.
u know...rereading this manga... this is just one of those manga stories in youtube like lovekoi, its the classic:
''my gf left me for another guy coz she thought i was broke but she didnt know im a CEO'', sure the titles are shorter but this is just that, ex and new guy realize they messed up, theres an initial fall off for both of them, they dont learn their lesson, the guy tries to mess up with MC and new romantic interest while the ex tries to get back together with them coz they now know MC is rich, and then they end up either homeless or in jail
So he did take her out on expensive dates, but she was just too retarded to realize it. Lol, I remember some people were defending her cheating ass because they thought the MC, being as chill and laid-back as he is, never cared to please her or take her out on nice dates.
the funny thing is if she had just said yes and gone to a house date with him even once she would not be in this situation. because she didn't like house dates, whenever he invited her over she always declined, and thus she never got to know that he was living in a penthouse suite nor found out how rich he actually was until it was way too late
she really was just a dumb girl living out her life with everything handed on a silver platter for her not knowing how good she had it. this does not excuse her for cheating on him of course
Yes Bitch release what you just lost and get socially boycotted.
IDK what others say, i love this manga and I definnetly want you to countinie tranlating it.
Looks like the guild are good people who get on. The receptionist getting sacked for abusing admin access to end anyone's career on a personal grudge is the least she should expect.
Just to chime in on the apparent easy forgiveness from the MC, his girlfriend ended it and revealed she'd be cheating already so his thoughts were probably "huh, you're not the girl I fell for anymore, I won't spare you another thought again" and moved on with retirement he wanted. Healthy thing to do, I'd say. The blacklisting is meaningless to him as he's retired, just have a chuckle at her stupid attitude and be done with it.
The next chapter will be interesting when the 3 women are talking, the receptionist spilling that he's a big name and the ex's reaction.
Imo MC asking leniency towards the people who tried to sabotage his career with intent, makes him look pathetic, honestly. It's only by accident that things went as well as they did.
she would get a salary cut. which is harsh for her. as she couldn't pay the monthly necessities (like bill and rent). not only that her job would be reduce to janitor duty.
while its the most lenient punishment. it basically the guild telling the receptionist to basically quit her job
as a result she took the job, that she dismissed greatly. being an adventurer.
to apologize to the MC. she went to the MC place. it was entirely different perspective for her. as the MC was living in a penthouse suite. rich for days. making her humble.
the MC doesn't hate her tho, instead give her the same advice as karen. like absorbing the crystal in getting stronger... and smarter.
I heard that in Japan it's very difficult to get fired; what they do most is cut salaries, demote employees, or transfer them to a distant branch, precisely so that the employee will resign. In the receptionist's case, this happened; she had her salary cut, was reassigned to another location, and had to do tasks like cleaning bathrooms. In addition, she suffered harassment from her superiors. For a proud person like her, it's much worse than being fired.

The blacklist was also a favor to him, because if he had simply retired, the guild would have forced him to return to active duty, and they certainly would have done so. Now, because he's on the blacklist, it's very complicated to remove his name, as it would require the approval of representatives from other countries, which would obviously embarrass the Japanese immensely. Even being an SSS, being an adventurer is a dangerous job, so it's natural to want to retire early and live in luxury with the money he's saved.
