Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival - Ch. 29

[cryum]

Huh, that's odd. They cut stuff from the original, she had a whole ass nother fight in the burning wreckage.

I guess this is better packaged though, the other enemy arrived really really fast considering the logistics.

Gourd's death was bittersweet. Aria had planned on using him and throwing him away, given that she was the only one with any hope of escaping under her plan, but the fact remains that she broke some of Gourd's curses, freed him, and gave him a chance for revenge, and in the end, he showed his gratitude by sacrificing himself to save her, and he was able to die as himself.

she's 8

However, guys, I'd like to point something out. She's like ten or something years old, right? Ten!

Precocious puberty is a thing. It's actually becoming increasingly common for girls to start menstruating as early as 8. The youngest confirmed mother in medical history, Lina Marcela Medina de Jurado, gave birth at the age of 5 years, seven months, and twenty-one days.

Even [Heal], which presumably wipes out biological pathogens, would have to recognize 'good' biologicals, and human sperm, being human, would by 'good'.

Unless, of course, you're a goblin or orc.

[Heal] doesn't wipe out biological pathogens. In fact it barely does any healing, it's more about restoring stamina to boost recovery. [Cure] restores wounds, and [Treat] removes offending material such as poison or bacterial pathogens. [Clean] is for removing larger amounts of material, but if you can remove the material with a brush and your hands it would be more effective than using clean as is still can't remove that much material.

Using [Clean] to remove most of the material and then [Treat] to specifically remove the sperm should work, but [Clean] alone probably can't remove all of the sperm, as it isn't quite as targeted. However it should take specifically targeting the sperm for removal.

This story also has a thing where developing magic power increases the rate children mature at. Though it keeps being suggested to make them two years more developed than without it, it also has and will continue to make references to that, while also referencing a few characters, including Aria, as more than two years more developed.

That said neither that part of the setting nor precocious puberty are going to stop people from bringing up her age as an objection to sexualizing her.

This "assassins aren't meant to fight" thing is one of the most ridiculous stereotypes ever. These people have been in the hitman business for decades. They live off fighting not to mention this is a 1v1 or even a many v 1. This point doesn't hold at all

You know that assasins are meant to kill silently? Yes? Then let me enlighten you: Poison and stabbing. Neither of these grant you superskills to fight of soldiers or mercenaries.

People these days are way too oversaturated by Media that Spies or Assasins are any good in Combat. They were not.

 

[Kampfarsch]

The power of prep time.

Is not just muh stats but arrogant assassins that "Noooo! A little kid cannot kill a whole assassin guild" and heavily underestimated her. Also they could not believe she would make an enemy of the assassin guild just to protect her master.
Accurate preparations. Excellent timing. And a good dose of luck, she almost got killed here if not for that Gourd guy.
Yeah the guild was a bunch of idiots who thought they were untouchable.
But the execution of her plan was flawless. Also assassins are not specialized in dealing with this kind of situation. They set ambush to eliminate a specific target. So they were out of their comfort zone.


In fact, this was just a single branch of the assassin guild.

Thats because they were weakened over a long period of time, were under pressure because the whole cave was filling with smoke and there was a giant that was going beserk. Next thing is - They were assasins, not fighters. Assasins arent meant to fight in the first place.

Stat-wise, she is pretty strong. I believe this is because in this world, its way easier to level up and learn skills when you're young and her...whatever you wanna call chapter 1 gave her the drive to actually do an insane amount of training, but of course its not limited to that.

In addition to poisoning her foes and really riling them up so they didn't fight at 100%, they also just really weren't fighters. Dino managed the guild but seldom went out to fight on his own. He just inherited the guild. Meanwhile the witch is focused on curses. She's a long-range fighter. Have a mage fight a rogue in close quarters and see who comes out on top. She also had a pretty big meat shield helping her out, so the results make sense. As for everyone else in the guild, none of them were fighters/assassins except the dwarf and the psycho girl. they just did the books and stuff


It is shadow magic, which is her specialty and we know it can be done because we saw the girl she killed in the dungeon using it. I think there's a bit more of an explanation but it involves the difference between magic and sorcery


she's 8


not like there aren't other assasin guilds to employ

You people talk like her poisoning them isnt insane BS in the first place
This "prep" time is as excuse at best, cause her pulling that off is mental
This is like slowly filling a firestation with gasoline and then beating the firefighters up in the in hundred degree smoke that cooks your lungs, but oh the firefighters were caught off guard so it makes sense

Man, I wanted to make a silly reference in the comment section after seeing Gourd, but now I'm too distracted by the painfully cringe credit page. That people aren't allowed to dislike because Reasons apparently.

 

[MuYu]

I see that foxgirl in a credits page and I know I'm in for a bad time reading the associated comment, and an even worse one reading the comments. Delightful.

 

[Lucky]

Never did I think I would actively hope for a snipe just to avoid being presented with a group's credits page

You do you and all that but time and place are not here, ya know? Some of us just want to consume the ol' ultraviolence unadulterated.

Good end to the arc and I liked the ice cold finishing shot, but I would have preferred an escape that was a little less handwavey. Risk-taking gets a little samey if the gambles always pay off.

Scanlation groups sometimes takes away from the work due to their own quirks. Obnoxious credit pages, bad jokes in the margins, etc. Although the reason is sound even if other groups don't feel the compulsion to be as off-kilter and in-your-face. Scanlation groups work by passion, are often fueled by their communities. So, that comes back into the work, the overly sexualized horny comments are reflections of what they get from the community.

And, yeah, I don't like it but I consider it the fee - price of admission. I often prefer the translations of enthusiasts over the official releases, the official releases in print are often rushed and underfunded and you can see where they may need to cut corners to fit requirements on deadlines. But that also means I gotta deal with bits like this.

I do respectfully hope more groups keep their discord memes and conversations off the final post but if that also takes away the fun of doing them then I can only nod and rapidly click past the credit pages and ignore TL/Ns.

Can’t wait to see the reaction of her master after learning what she did, lol.

Cunnyfox scans strikes again

Blackmailing a near-immortal famous war-hero probably wasn't a good idea even without Aria being involved.

Wouldnt have been much of a problem if the wizard wasnt such a pushover, he was like the weakest guy in the cave

 

[Magneticmagnet]

Assassin's guild? No, this is the assassinated's guild now.

 

[coyote_vdb]

Thanks for the translation.
Really like how this fight went.

 

[Shtoops]

they don't know that Aria is gay and has a group of women thirsting after her

It's more likely that Aria is going to impregnate you.

 

[FgoSegul]

Ngl, kinda boring that everything went to plan

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Kreate]

holy shit these people were total pushovers, also please spare me with a "muh stats" reply

She never could have won without gourd, and she would have died had he not blocked the curse for her. Plus other prep as well.

 

[Braidzay]

Peak adaptation !
