Valerie and Luna's dynamic is fun. Thanks for the scanlation

 

[Hcoregamer]

Props for Hildegarda having at least some self-awareness that her appearance might be an issue for the future, especially having children. Luna on the other hand just doesn’t care, lol

Logo on that handkerchief at the end is of the Healer's Guild. Lemme guess...that royal pain in the posterior was a passenger in that carriage. I don't see a body, so odds are she got taken, and Reda and company are going to have to go rescue her.

….. I should probably be focusing on the chapter, but every time I keep wondering…. What df is his (flat) daughter (wife?) wearing??? The lolibaba elf, too.

Agreed, for their body type, something less revealing as regular wear would actually be better for them. It’s more flattering to their figure. I mean, it’s kind of hilarious that Valerie, the bustiest girl in the series (so far) has the most modest outfit.

damn, you've got an eye for details

...come to think of it, the reason he gives for keeping the price at that of a basic potion like he was told he was worth is that it keeps it accessible for normal people and the people he heals are paying him out of gratitude...but when was the last time he healed a normal person? It's been nobles and elves for a bit and they didn't just pay him with money, they also tried to marry him as 'payment'. So, they're selling their body as part of the payment...

Normally, I'm for the argument of reducing or controlling prices for medical care, the need for which is often immediate and immutable, but I prefer actual arguments for that. In real life, there's plenty of issues that drive up prices without benefiting either the doctor or the patient. Insurance agencies, a banking service that frames itself as though they are providing treatment themselves, get their profit from taking payment from the patient but doing their best to deny payment to the doctor, tying up medical professionals time into arguing with them to, hopefully, get the pay their due. There's also the issue with pharmaceutical companies merely buying the rights to publically funded medical research and having produced little to no new medicine themselves.

In manga, an example that has a healer's guild that makes an argument would be The Great Cleric. It introduces the issue with the guilds out of control pricing with healers intentionally rasing their prices so that people have to sell themselves into slavery to afford treatment as part of a human trafficking scam. For others, the issue was that, with the regulatory body being crippled, they were collectively steadily raising their prices without any local competition by limiting how much they cross territory, the way ISPs work in the US.

However, the more I think about this, the more I'm reminded of the middle aged adventure with a 'game' skill manga/novel and it's 'humility/hiding his abilities' argument that it used as an excuse for the mc to be lazy, avoid responsibility, ignore the plight of is 3 loli elf wives while he cheats on them, impregnate 6 or more OTHER women, and abandon the kids all while this behavior kills as many innocent people as possible as he gives a speech praising his own humility literally in front of their corpses. That is, if this keeps up, it will feel like a half-assed argument the author insist on using to justify their plot points while serving as a cartoonishly bad example.

 

[derpdederp]

She immediately got herself kidnapped huh.

 

[XenoAshura]

healer guild girl keep getting more and more insufferable.
now she got kidnaped and will probably end up working with the evil organisation, thinking they're the "good guys"...

You are right but, is it really worth spending time to think over this? I'm mean, it's a shallowish fantasy harem manga about a healer with a low self esteem.

 

[chendu]

tans for the food

 

[Gabriix]

So Luna had enough of her bullshit and just knocked her out and she thinks it's Reda who did it when she didn't even see him move
She want to forbid him from using the healer's title ?
Ok then we introduce you to Doctor Reda

Valerie and Luna are really getting along that's nice

And the rescue arc is coming honestly i'm not sure she is really worth saving

 

[kingdedede]

hey thank for the uploads! this manga is pretty fun and im glad we have consistent uploads to enjoy

 

[Darkshade13]

Healer guild woman is just the worst character. Like... it's not even fun to hate her. She's just annoying.

 

[Showman26]

I agree with the translator's note on PG 24

 

[Desuka]

Gee, would be a shame if the Amanda got captured by the bandits just to be used as rape fodder. Oh who am I kidding, she's most definitely getting gangbanged by the bandits.

 

[orangerain7734]

Welp, I was totally wrong in what she has been introduced for, and now she has probably become a dumb damsel in distress who will change her mind about MC after he saves her, or not. Honestly, however she'll treat him after that is just plain bothersome, that's how annoying she is.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Finally the third girl is joining the harem, now to get rid of the hag.

 

[Kaarme]

It's a pity the author didn't have the skills or vision to make this healer/price issue an actually interesting topic. Amanda could have been a reasonable person with reasonable arguments. Healers could have been reasonable and the MC could have been unwittingly, with no ill intent, making their livelihood difficult. But instead the healers apparently are all greedy pigs who want to work two days a week max and only treat rich aristocracy, charging astronomical prices only the rich can afford. So, the holy son Dickson is the only decent person in the country. Only he is willing to treat the ordinary people and charge an ordinary sum of money. Really, now, author. The MC is already a real dragon killing saint, a master of magic, and the envy of every lolicon. Was there any need to make this healing thing such a naive black and white issue as well?
