I have read to much manga to just accept a good brother that just brings money home. For some reason I feel that he and that mom have another kind of deal D:
Hope not tho'
I should stop relating things those kind of stuffs, but this manga settings makes me feel that all of those things you guys mentioned about the mother is within the range of possibilities.
Also, Why does it feel like the MC was acting like a child.
Ive read enough manga to know magic has digress over the years and Ephthal is going to have same amount as magic as he did before making him... wait for it... a prodigy
Lol, that ending. "yaaaah". I wonder how next chapter starts, with how abrupt this ended I can only assume a time skip (in order to start as abruptly, and cause we already know the result of the scene that ended prematurely).
