Ok but in this case it's not simply "pinning the blame" when that's literally what's going on here


And that's why society is so fucked up, while there's actual predators roaming the planet, there's also people who would falsely accuse someone of being that and end up ruining their lives, and that victim would not be the same even after being proven innocent

yeah but always the grown up is the responsible one and should be the one calling the shots of not taking advantage of the minor. Thats hownit works IRL and court.

True, and I'm not disregarding that. but this is not what I'm getting to.

I mean, if the author really wants to write this goblin a voice of reason, then they have failed to do so.

If I have a friend who's in danger let alone being groomed which is highly serious, the parents or guardians or whoever I can trust the most are the ones I should be calling first. Instead, this goblin drag her out of her new home, leaving the parents in the dark. Isn't that basically kidnapping? Done by a high schooler.

Well ofc this goblin cannot be written to talk to the parents, because they knew and okaaaay with it, and this goblin's plan to be the 'savior' and 'voice of reason' would fall apart.

But if the author wants to write this goblin an annoying brat to be dissed by the readers, well this forum speaks for itself.

Well that's done and done. let's see if this goblin can be helpful in this arc, now that some villain is revealed.

Thank you as always for the sl!


The thing is she didnt call the parents and w/e becausenshe was begging not to, but dhe clearly intended tonreport to the police and everyone, because you would assume its the right thing to do.

But sure, its fiction, we are the omniscient readers, so of course WE known ehats rly goong on, bit the law doesn't care much about this.

That is not quite my point, and correct me if I'm wrong, I just rechecked the chapter and while there is them begging this goblin to not call the authorities there isn't any begging this goblin to not call the parents specifically. Unless you meant that when this goblin said "tell 'everyone'".

And this goblin didn't even need to call on the scene, I can get that adrenaline pumps hard there. This goblin can call them even after Kuchinasi moved out. A simple question.

Goblin: "Does your parents know?"
*Ring ring
Parents: "Yeah we give them our blessing"

Arc joever.

Also why this goblin insisted keeping her in its house? Why not got to her parents first. So now, in her parents eyes, their daughter is being kidnapped by this goblin. If they even ever find out.

I believe my point still stands. If the author wants to write this goblin just to be annoying and dissed, then it's working. It's cheap, but it's working. But if she was to be written as a voice of reason then Id say it's not executed well. I'm talking more about the writing here, not the laws or anything.

What you are trying hard to ignore is that she is being a bit unresonable because she is seeing something quite wrong. No one told her that the parents tabe their blessing but even so she could ruin his career.

Idk how much you know about this kind of thing, but just because the parents gave their blessing, doesnt means she is a ot being forced into it or abused, ao for all she knows, she might be without hope and needs help even without asking, so I still think, especially in a real life scenario, a friend forxing themselves could be the right answer as well.

Your view on this is a bit narrow.

What's law got to do with this, isn't she 18? Sure, it might ruin his career, but they're both technically adults...

Just to comment on the last part


I have absolutely zero hope that she would be helpful in any capacity

I get you, but he's not taking advantage of her which has been the point this entire time, it's the other way around

idk if this is THIS black and white because she is still a student as well
Actually it's pretty much exactly black and white at least as far as America would be concerned. Most likely Japan as well since they already raised the marriageable age to 18. He'd get roasted in the court of public opinion but in a court of law he'd be untouchable.

no i know that. My point was they already just recently raised the marriageable age so there would be no ambiguity over her being legal in spite of still being a student. They wouldn't be like "oh she's still only 18 this is not good" they already agreed that 18 was the age of consent only a couple years back. It's not like for example they raised the marriageable age 20-25 years ago so now there is a chance it needs to be brought up for another discussion. The case is closed and can be expected to remain that way for at least another generation.

thats not much it, in fact even if she was 16 or w/e, if the parents agreed to their marriage, most ppl wouldnt meddle that much.

Ppl in Japan mind more if you are following the neighborhood rules than what u r doing inside your doors.
