The commbination of spells had me LOL
But then the dead couriers showed the grim reminder of how deadly politics can be….

 

[cryum]

It sounds like the italians feared any particular uniting ideology. Which is pretty fair, looking at history.

 

[comedyxtragedy]

Damn, even courier got caught up in politic drama. 😭
Yoshida is pretty lucky to get paralyzed in arm only

 

[pandatime]

[MrLuna]

Chief is about to show the meaning of "Going Postal"

This universe has resurrection spell (which Yoshida can vouch for from Ch. 1). Basically the PO got themselves a minor setback and unexpected budgetary concern.

As an aside, in real medieval/renaissance Italy, messengers were usually squires and guild members, so actual murdering of messengers like shown here almost never happened. People engaged in a power struggle generally didn't want to get on the bad side of noble/knightly houses and the guilds by murdering their members because that would lead to feuds, enmities, possibly boycott, and generally failure to seize power or a very short-term rule. It's easier to just bribe them. The situation in the manga where there is a very ideologically dedicated postal organization with unbribable workers never existed historically in this era.

Horrifically tragic but hilariously comedic. That's been everyone's backstories to date.

The end is nigh everyone

They can be revived.

though to be honest, I’m actually quite sympathetic to the base issues the wizards have about their working conditions and their deteriorating roles and living conditions in the city. The way the head mage also treats them is quite horrible. A union is supposed to protect you, not side with the very people who seek to drive you into destitution.

The way they go about addressing these problems is not great, but in this instance violence is born of desperation. Though I think there were other ways to try and address their issues and improve their lot in life

Judging by the earlier chapters you can only revive if you've "saved" at a church which none of those couriers have probably done. They're dead dead.

No, they're fine. Autosave was one of the "perks" of working in the otherwise horribly abusive postal service, and they have their in-house cleric (who does double duty in admin). Yoshida's problem in Ch. 1 was that she was only an apprentice back then and didn't qualify for - er... medical benefits I guess?
