Orenchi ni Kita Onna Kishi to Inakagurashi Surukotoninatta Ken - Vol. 4 Ch. 29 - It felt like I was in a dreamland

@Liquidxlax don't you get that it's just a comedic exaggeration of jealousy?

 

[Wolvenworks]

Ouch. That’s a lotta anti-normies

 

[WillLi]

@CountryMage That is a possibility, but also entirely unconfirmed information. Also if that was the case, they would've seen a period for a whole week where Chris' light was not 'happy and healthy' so they still would have reason to expect she didn't just desert. (She also wasn't fully happy at the start either, she was just hiding her sadness.) But also if that magic was that useful I get the feeling this information would've been revealed earlier, and also this kinda thing with the soul lights would be public knowledge. The fact that even the 'hero' doesn't know about these lights, narrativly suggest that it's either 'new tech' or tech they don't fully understand yet.

@WillLi or since they (the girl) say it ensures loyalty (aka allows them to kill anyone), it is simply something they dont let ppl know as it would likely get them many many enemies if ppl knew their employers could off them at a moments notice. Also, thinking of it as "even the hero" is probably wrong, as such a public showpiece is likely to be kept even more in the dark than any others. Particularly if they are also actually righteous.

 

[WillLi]

@feha that's not what the mage says. She says they were created using spirit stones to form a bond of loyalty. Not to 'ensure loyalty'. So I doubt those can be used to kill people (if they could and they thought she was a traitor they'd off her) But actually that makes their actions make even less since if these things form any kinda of bond with the king. Because if they're as special as you guys are alluding to then they'd likely some way indicate how loyal the person is to the king. And they'd know Chris is still loyal and not a traitor.

@Kaarme would you say a drunk girl is asking for it?

 

[Yanagi]

"Go explode!"

Exactly

Also can't wait to have the ex and the bro ship.

 

[Kaarme]

@Captaininvictus That's what I said.

 

[Captaininvictus]

@kaarme ok just making sure

Wait, so does the flame display loyalty or does the flame force loyalty? This is a pretty big issue. If it just displays loyalty, then they should know Chris didn't run away and something happened to her. If it forces loyalty, I can't believe they would reveal that information, even to the hero. That is something that should never be spoken of outside of the core members around the King.

 

[dankdevice]

reading over the pages regarding the spirit lights, my guess is that they represent the loyalty oath that most retainers have to swear to their lord, & also have the affect of showing if they're still alive or not

they say the flames are "a source of magic & spirits", so maybe the spirit lights are involved in the granting of magic powers to people?

either way it doesn't make it sound like they "force loyalty", although maybe there's some kind of curse associated with it like "if you break your oath you will die or lose your magic" or something

 

[Beregorn]

@Flyingpantsu
Maybe. And hopefully she will go back with him in the other world, never to be seen ever again. Happy ending for everyone!

I don't think it forces loyalty, otherwise why would that whole dumbshit desertion thing come up just like you yourself said. I think it's more like... a magic pact? Like their version of a knight swearing fealty to a Lord or King (which historically, was SERIOUS SHIT - because you generally involved invoking swearing to god, and becoming an oathbreaker was tantamount to not only being a traitor but nearly taunting god as a liar). So I think it's less of a force of compulsion and more of a seal or signature to show that you're bound to that pledge or whatever. And it also serves as a hall of records, as well, and letting you know who has fallen in battle or potentially broken their oath.

As for secrecy, it could be that they also have foreign people that have sworn loyalty to them and anyone that went down there would basically be doing the equivalent of seeing a dossier on whoever is a spy or double-agent overseas. You probably don't want to advertise who is loyal to you and who isn't.

@jasty

I'm guessing he's gonna come over 2 chapters from now. I hope the Loli mage comes too.

You're going to need to a crowbar to pry Honami off of Chris' brother, I guess. A knight in shining armor, a hero, who can use magic? With that isekai/magic crazed woman? She might end up assaulting him, actually...

But then who shacks up with the cute loli mage?

 

[JustCallMeDaBoss]

Reported lol.

I think people are looking way too much into the lamp thing its just a life lamp that knows if the persons who's aura was imprinted into it is alive.

 

[danich182]

Not gonna lie, I would be right there with those Normie-haters and their sms’es

 

[Coffinmyface]

Oh shit just made me think, did they break up because she's abusive?

 

[Mist221322]

somehow i get the feeling Honami will end up with Chris's brother (if he makes it to earth)

 

[TinsleyNocturnal]

Fuck you honami. That's not fuckin cool bitch
