Realist Maou ni Yoru Seiiki Naki Isekai Kaikaku - Ch. 48

Did anyone else see double with the last few pages?

True, he can still sell for a fair price. If he's hoarding the food to maximize profit when people are starving, it's wrong... plus, he can still make profit... after all, it's the price the food normally would have...

Would be more helpful if Astaroth promise he will also regulate the other merchants.
Yes, he already sent Toshi to deal with those with illegal side business, but it will still make him hesitate if he got told to open his stock, but other merchants are still freely hoarding.

The salt's riddle is usually accounted to story about Tokugawa Ieyasu (but they might also import it from the mainland).
"What is the best and worst tasting thing in this world?"

Tokugawa asked one of his wives, "What is the most delicious thing in the world?", and she answered salt, because even with any exotic ingredient, it will depend on how you season it with salt. And then Tokugawa asked, "Then what is the most terrible tasting thing in the world?" and she answered it's also salt, because no matter how good the food is, it became inedible with too much salt.

Checking the manga raw, the daughter actually only ask "what is the most delicious thing", and Kong Ming smiled, thinking how this is not what he expected. He probably understand the riddle, so he explained not just the most delicious, but also the worst food even before she followed up the question.

And yes, those who complained about "not pretty" should read Otong's reply which also gives context on why Astaroth thinks it have to be Kong Ming.

Came to the comments just for this, thank you.

At first I thought that was supposed to be a joke page at the end, making fun of the people failing, thus the duplicate of the previous page. And the real one is missing. But it makes sense to have the second to just be replaced by mistake instead, with the real one having of a second riddle.

 

[komandan]

me think salt

 

[Vengeance22]

The shown riddle and the answer are mismatched, I feel there was a mixup from which pages went in vs those that were supposed to go in, but thank you all the same for the translation

indeed, the answer for the riddle shown is "human", but the answer he gives is for a totally different riddle. my guessing is that translator couldn't translate it literally, so he chose a different riddle, but with that the whole scene lost it's meaning...

 

[rluka]

It's probably just mistake in the upload.

Ah... when begging Kong Ming, Astaroth actually went as far asking him (Kong Ming) to consider it as saving his boss' face (because Astaroth did promised to find a suitor for Flora to her father).
And as Asian, Kong Ming accepted

If that is not pretty then i would be an abomination freak

 

[Apep23]

Well, if he said she ain't pretty than what is pretty means then?

The chapter needs to be reuploaded. The translators already replaced the incorrect page with the correct one at their site as of now.

Thank you! I knew I heard this answer to a riddle before but it was driving me crazy cause I couldn't remember.

 

[Hoezell]

This manga references lots of old stuff, nice.

 

[Manchura]

everyone out here like "she is hot af"

meanwhile the woman wants a man who can appreciate her brains rather than her body, wtf

 

[Areos]

And she is not pretty???

 

[Tidel]

so the daughter is not pretty...Just what is his standard for pretty!

 

[NorseLoki]

So uh.. is she taking a magic potion that transforms a horrid disfigured grotesque monster into what came out of the room or is her dad on drugs?

 

[W1770W]
