They're an organization engaged in child trafficking, and other things it appears. I think it was directly stated, but it could have just been an implication, still the intent was to sell her as a sex slave.I kind of lost the forest to the trees here... Why did this organization wanted Ivy to begin with?
Wasn't she cross-dressing as a boy? How did the traffickers figure out her disguise?still the intent was to sell her as a sex slave.
She was/is, they didn't figure out her disguise, and her being a boy in their view was not a negative. I'm pretty sure she told the adventurers she trusts at one point.Wasn't she cross-dressing as a boy? How did the traffickers figure out her disguise?
Even the adventurers protecting her, do they know that she's a girl?
Lil boys are on demand too you know. Probably more than girls since they can't get pregnant.Wasn't she cross-dressing as a boy? How did the traffickers figure out her disguise?

They were specifically looking for little boys for nobles with those kinds of taste.Wasn't she cross-dressing as a boy? How did the traffickers figure out her disguise?

I think that is just Mira's Slime doing what it does best. Snacking on some tasty Minerals in slashy form.Metal/mithril/orihalcon slime foreshadowing at the end?
Slime eating swords of unknown material.
If she didn't meet the people in this town, she would still be out in the woods with her badass black panther friend. Pretty sure that's what she was going to say, but stopped to not hurt any feelings.If you didn't meet that people of this town...What Ivy?? What would have happened? I'm on the edge of my seat!
Literally, the only punishment in this world is slavery. I don’t even think they have jails. It’s just a question of how long She’ll be a slave for and what kind of conditions she’ll be subjected to (hard manual labor vs serving someone as a maid).Wrapping things up.
Not sure what to think about her getting somewhat redeemed. Depends on her fate.
there is some incredible, dark irony about her dressing up as a boy to avoid being attacked by men, only for the people targeting her to specifically be after boys. There’s certainly would’ve been a strange moment if they did actually capture her and realize her gender. Though I’m sure there’s also market for that.They were specifically looking for little boys for nobles with those kinds of taste.
Ivy is normally in danger being a girl traveling alone which is why she cross-dressed, but just got unlucky that her disguise is what attracted their attention to her.
It’s not particularly long. Just one volume of the light novel In a series that has at least 9 or 10 volumesI think the main problem with this arc's length is that it's too early in the story for a long arc like this. I don't think people would be complaining as much if we'd been acclimated to longer and longer arcs slowly instead of jumping right into this behemoth
Can’t wait for them to make an appearance. The series definitely finds its rhythm at that pointIn a way, you could call everything until the end of this arc as a prologue, as Ivy's journey that will really define her travels and story should start in a few more chapters along with a new permanent party member....
