Ori no Naka - Ch. 24 - The Man Who Knows

[subwayanyway]

I mean you fapped to her used pad bro, you dont deserve "we love each other" at first place

Wow, what a serious, unforgivable crime that is worse than a murder-rape.

Nah, I choose neutral dont know yet don't assume and believe so easily that he's telling the truth, learned what his and FMC's motive first.

 

[henman]

Well, yeah, the frame with air-con grid is amazing, but for me...power lines at the bottom of p.6 So nostalgic, I wonder, why?

Granted, he's not a serial cheater but he's no saint either.

Well, the story started with him stealing pads. He dug it himself

still goes under sexual harassment

This development has literally been set up since chapter 2!!!

Just went and re-read. And now I have questions about Yoshihara's story. In ch.2 he says she's there for 3 months only. Does he mean that she had ruined life of his friend from this very workplace in these 3 months so that he wanted his revenge by then? Or she did it some time before she got into this workplace by sheer coincidence? In this case it's very unprobable coincidence (given that Gomi and Yoshihara work here for quite some time).
On the other hand, this is not the type of story you can just come up with. Given what we readers know about her husband and mother, it sounds convincing at least. Now I'm lost and don't know whether to believe him or not. I'd rather believe it, honestly. Usually I'm not on the side of "basic instinct"-like MCs who are faulty at the start and get into problems because of that. So...yeah, we'll see. The only thing I know is that the story is superb, can't stop, please continue.

If you throw something in the garbage, it is no longer yours, so taking it does not count as stealing.

Actions that have no negative effect on your life and you never find out about are definitionally not harassment. The only reason she knows about his mildly creepy act is her very creepy and very illegal act of setting up a hidden camera in a toilet stall.

Remember that ugly people are more likely to be evil.

Taking someone's used pads from the garbage is clearly not a healthy behavior that signalises about mental deviations, potentially leading to a crime. This is not the case when everyone will be sitting and waiting until individual in question will commit a crime, e.g. molestation or even rape.
Not even mentioning mental stress that woman can experience from knowing the fact. I thought author depicted it pretty well in earlier chapters.

If I was in Gomi's place, I would just start overthinking everything and possibly ruin the relationship instead of getting her side of the story.

But, as viewers, we saw that the creepy dude was taking pictures of them a few chapters before. The only reason for doing that would be for blackmailing them if they refuse to break up (him, to his boss/colleagues and her, to her husband). It could be for revenge for his friend, or he's planning to take advantage of the girl in exchange for not telling the husband.

We clearly see that she hates her husband, and there's probably a reason why she isn't divorcing him (he might have paid for her mother's treatment since she appears a lot), but cheating to get his attention doesn't seem plausible.

Unfortunately, Gomi doesn't have access to that info.

Pretty sure there'd still be consequences, like how ppl frown upon dumpster diving, other than some landfill where no one cares, otherwise homeless ppl would just camp outside restaurants all the time on top of begging for change lol ( although i do wonder how many janitors 'mooch' stuff outside of the trash i'm sure plenty of ppl throw away perfectly good things if not accidentally throw away valuable stuff)

I want to believe that he's doing it so that he has more evidence for the next poor fool who gets involved with this woman. But it is pretty sus... like most of what happens in this manga.

Yeah in some places you can't dig thru trash for sanitation reasons but that's for outdoors and it's a separate crime from stealing. Homeless people camp outside restaurants anyway tho.

Right, for example this woman in the manga was throwing away her used pads when apparently they could serve as perfectly good fap material.

This is unexpected, cringeworthy and sick case of victim blaming

It's a joke, but I guess any joke is unexpected to someone without a sense of humor. The emote shoulda been a clue.

As weird an deviant as it is, it's still not a big deal at all. The real world is all kinds of cruel and fucked up, so this kind of stuff hardly deserves any attention. And if the Ugly Bastard-san is telling the truth, then what Yumezora is doing to Gomi is way wayyy worse, wouldn't you agree?

Thank you for the translation.

Personally I don't trust the fat fuck guy

Me neither-- he introduces himself stanced up like a Serpo.
