Ore dake Fuguu Skill no Isekai Shoukan Hangyakuki ~Saijaku Skill "Kyuushuu" ga Subete o Nomikomu made~ - Ch. 38 - Business

[rluka]

Akane’s skill is not talked in details yet, but it’s the skill from one of the original hero party members (the witch who sealed Rei and Melia, separately). So Melia is quite familiar with some of the current heroes’ skills.

I still think Melia tells Nakatani to not take the skill because she knows he couldn’t handle the information.
Seeing Akane’s personality, she seems to be the type who survive social life by being really aware about the situation around her (as opposed to typical MC who just “don’t want to waste energy for troublesome social relationship” and become loner).
So, more like, say, Aoi in Tomozaki. The reputation and relationship from being a fun and helpful friend are her assets when she needs to protect herself and steer opinion; but there’s no need to stand as the class’ boss.
Like she said, she gets along with everyone, but is always thinking of her moves.

So she already got the foundation to process the information that skill gives her on her own, not trusting everything she saw.

Some people in the empire are probably smart enough to turn that skill against its user. For example, if they feed fake information to someone and send him as bait. A person who is overconfident about the skill’s absolute power would take everything as truth. But a person who can see the bigger picture would be suspicious and ask again if this “truth” is everything or just a small part in the scenario.

As for if the Hero skill is useless... if we take what Melia said, it’s basically just a stats buff. It can give an early start, and maybe quick growth (which in itself is going to be OP if he was the MC in this story rather than just a dog who is all barks). But Yuuto, and Rei (the original hero) are not affected by the decay from taking too many skills. So maybe Miyamoto’s Hero also have that kind of ability, if the story wants to buff him up as not-joke opponent later down the plot.

Back to this episode.
Would if feel more natural if what Akane’s conversation in page 13 is translated as

So there are things even both of you can’t see.

I wonder if those eyes can see it.

Hmm... if I tried to, maybe I can
But you see, I don’t have that kind of luxury
I’ve been thinking of a lot of things about how I can stay over here

Pathetic hero

@hurafloyd @koga88 @lesseffective and @Salfaro
My reading of her ability (which is purely speculation but based on what has been said and shown) is that it's basically a "narrator" style "omniscient" that is limited to what she is specifically looking for. She is presented with a "story narrator" style view of the request information, but the "narrator" is limited to what it's asked.
The reason I say "story narrator" is because I am referencing what we, the readers/viewers, see and are told which patiently isn't always the full information, but is generally a "level of omniscient" that no human would have alone. i.e seeing points of information from specific and notably "relevant" angles; knowing information not immediately obvious just through sight (perhaps people's thoughts?); etc.

Again, I could easily be absolutely wrong, but I think that this extends upon all of your ideas.

This whole deal made zero sense, but nothing in this manga really does. They let all of those humans troops and murderous "heroes" go, including a minister, in exchange for null information: there's some other faction in the empire doing this or that, no names, no details, no nothing. That's no bloody intel at all. On top of that nothing they got one idiot girl who's willing to murder children if someone orders her to and who thinks apologising will make up for it. And one witch that nobody can read and whose motives or allegiances are utterly unknown.

Also if the hero does do something like rape or the like (I'm still hedging he's the reason for the sexual violence tags) it's on the MC for letting the murderous bastard go.

If that happens, Nakatani will show the expression of a dead fish, which is the most he can muster on his face. In other words, he couldn't care less. So, that doesn't matter much. On the other hand, the same reason is also why Nakatani didn't care one way or another if the dude lives or dies here. If the princess lets him go, then he goes. Nakatani has no opinion on the matter (or any matter at all), so it's up to the princess. The princess, even in this abyss, is trying to rebuild a country where everyone is happy, regardless of their race, so she avoids killing people in general. Even people who massacre those supposedly under her care.

It's what I don't get though, MC is actively being persued to be killed by him like for future self preservation in the least off him.
Also I agree with your the deal makes no sense in any regard. What do the demons get out of this that MC couldn't already just take? Even if he didn't know how to use yet he'd learn eventually. Heck I still don't know why he didn't take those 2 girls abilities (maybe the novel explains) so I can only theory he didn't cause he instinctually felt he wasn't ready for the powers I guess?

Melia (who deals with the negotiations) seems to already know a lot about the empire.
And the deals seems to be more about making a good cover story.

Roy already guessed Melia prefers having him alive. Valais also said the Empire couldn’t easily remove Roy and Ziggy (they’re too important cogwheel). So by keeping them alive, there’s benefit of them keeping the more belligerent factions busy. But just letting them go wouldn’t seem right either, so they make the position where Roy had to negotiate for their life.

Heroes switching side is the same. It’s Akane’s idea though because she wants to switch to the side where she can more freely make her moves. This provides the story about some of them sacrificing themselves to save their friends’ lives. The other girl is just a bonus.

Doesn’t matter if anyone in the other factions can know the truth just from asking anyone who was there. Parts of the stories adds up, and they can make it as the public-facing truth.
