@Operatix Come on, if a kindergartner came up and hit you in the head with a stick, and it didn't hurt or leave a mark, would you think they're trying to kill you?
@HDMI1 "No on sees chicken, and thinks of racism"
Exactly, a loli pops up with a cheap toy sword, and an edgy black cloak, you don't immediately connect the thought of an assassin, you think chuuni.
They're lolis. They're not meant to be taken seriously. Unless they're Tatsumaki or some gag-trap who looks harmless and fun but is actually ridiculously strong and probably not a good person.
@HDMI1 what you mean makes sense, but not that much in this situation and cast. MC knows well that he's something like a god in this world, only speaking bout his abilities. This "assasin" had shown nothing of the sort that would indicate her as playfull, even more obvious when she ran away immediately after mission fail.
@Invader_Retro: ... Is the use of "her" on page 15 actually referring to Lime? I thought she switched targets to Youji after realizing that he's a bona fide Human rather than a Newman.
@Invader_Retro: Wow. Okay, she seems really dumb if she's ignoring the very obvious signs that the "Newman" might actually be the Human that she and her boss are looking for. Thanks for clarifying.
