The current arc has started around two years ago. I kinda lost track in the middle.

"We have to go, now"

Priorities, mate. One does not simply let Ivy's sandwiches go to filthy casuals!

What kills me is that it actually hasn't been that many chapters, it's just those chapters come out stupidly slow. Chapter 21 was released 7 months ago. We got 2 chapters in half a year.

I don't know if it's the author, artist or publisher's fault why it takes so long for a single chapter to be released but man any tension from a cliff hanger completely dies from the wait.

Thank you for the update! I do wish it didn't take an entire month to only very a quarter of a chapter, though.

Thought this was a dark souls reference, been so long since the cat showed up that I forgot it existed

I decided to catch up today, have been letting it build up since about chapter 12 and I'm almost as lost as you probably are. The overall story isn't that bad but some of the conversations don't seem to flow very well. Oh, do you remember that the Village Chief from her village is looking for her? I still don't know if this whole arc is related to him yet and it's been like 2 years, lol.

please.... someone summarize what this plan entails.... i don't understand ;_;

Not everything has been revealed yet and this arc has been going on for literal years so I may not recall everything right, but here's my best approximation.

The organization is trafficking people. Every time anyone gets close to catching them by the tail, they cut it off and the investigation goes nowhere. This is because A) everyone doing the actual trafficking is expendable or if they have too much knowledge of the organization, they're killed the moment they fail, B) a good chunk of adventurers and law enforcement are in on it and can sabotage investigations without arousing suspicion because they all have history with everyone around them, C) the nobility behind the organization are covering up traces of the paperwork and logistics that would be evidence, and D) when they do get evidence, it's getting destroyed by traitorous law enforcement.

As for the current situation, 1) Ivy is the next target, and she knows that because of her slime that can accurately read people's good-evil alignment at a glance. Thanks to that, they have a means of uncovering all of the traitors, so that takes care of B and prevents D. 2) Ivy has plans to meet Mira soon where it's likely Mira and the org will try to kidnap her, so that's their best chance to lay their own trap before the org catches on that they know Mira is a traitor. 3) Ivy deduced that Mira knows too much, so because of A someone must be watching her to kill her and erase all traces of the org if she fails and gets captured.

4) They already managed to capture a hideout, and thanks to Ivy, they managed to hide the money and other evidence they found from the traitors as they moved it to a storehouse/base, preventing D. 5) They've discovered that the org is harboring violent criminals in the forest, most likely to have them ransack the storehouse/base to destroy the evidence and recover the money while appearing on the surface as simple bandits. Once word gets out that bandits are in the forest though, the guild will have to organize adventurers to go kill or capture them, but because of B it would fail if they let things play out normally and traitors were mixed in with the subjugation force.

6) Lastly, the feudal lord Forolda has his own investigation into the org and has been tricked by count Faltoria who recently recommended him a bunch of adventurer's to guard him, likely with plans to kill him and the adventurers all at once and install a puppet feudal lord while everyone's too busy grieving.


So with aaaaaaall of that established, basically the plan is to capture Mira when she tries to capture Ivy and protect her from the org assassin while simultaneously attacking the bandits, making it seem like the org's plot to attack the base has been leaked and forcing them to attack ASAP, before they're ready. By securing Mira and protecting her from the assassination, they secure a direct witness with enough direct experience to incriminate as many people as possible. By wrapping up everyone in the bandit subjugation, both the adventurer's guild and the vigilante corp including all of the traitors littered throughout both groups, they're creating a chaotic situation where the traitors can't move and they can't secretly communicate and conspire.

That covers everything but 6, but that's probably not an immediate concern as once they have Mira and the evidence secured at 4, they have a strong enough case to convince lord Forolda to have count Faltoria arrested.
