Either that cats a red herring or the cat burgler is being very daring.

 

[UdenEmpati]

Hard to imagine Cross ending up with any of the current romance leads/interests given how dumb he is.
But I can't quite get a bead on how much time has passed in-story, and those sorts of things take time, so. That, and his growth in terms of his abilities and overall power/skill set is astronomical, which belies the fact that he's still a child.

So his naivety makes sense, except that no one's being straight with him on that particular subject, which means his obliviousness is only going to invite more misunderstanding and even potentially dangerous situations. (Refer to Seras abducting him and the fight between her and the Trio as one example.) And the danger factor is the sticking point, as more and more people get more and more powerful and get more and more desperate to claim him for themselves.

But , "all in service to the gimmick", as they say.

Thanks for the TL as always.

CAAAAAAAT!

Bit of a catfight in this chapter & we even got to see a cat on page 26. I do hope it is Seras to do some secret night training with Cross with her avoiding detection from his masters. Thanks for the translations.

That didn't take long if that's the cat girl slinking into the bath.

I suppose a master class thief isn't about to let her treasure stay out of sight for too long, especially when she can hone her skills even higher against the monsters that he is living with.

"Let us touch him too" might be a good summarization for the harem aspect of the manga.

I like Giselle and the hero. She is striving to get better and the hero is happy to help. They are healthier partners than the 4 monster stalkers.

They're also his age(ish), which doesn't hurt.

she can be that daring, she definitly can as she is on a monster level similar to the masters but as a thief class

For sure. She's as strong as any one of the Trio, and I would argue is defensively on par with all three together (we saw that play out; even if Cross muddied things by making all four "hold back" a bit - she still walked away from their concerted efforts).

Catgirl was tired of hat-sweat showers and wanted a real bath.

maybe because of the artifact/magic tools she use/stole. The Trio, a mage, a warrior,a support focus more on magic power, physical power and buff and debuff effect.

That cat is thief, basically focus on evasion and speed. evading and escaping in core of Thief class so no wonder she so good at evasion.

yep, that's what I was getting at, basically.
The mechanical strengths of Seras' class put her on equal footing with any of the others in terms of what they're each about.

She won't win trying to play the game by their rules, but by the same token they would all lose out if they tried to play by hers.
And her having magical tools/items and stuff is also thematically appropriate for an S-Tier thief. It's not really a handicap or "cheat" for her because you'd expect the class that's built around sneaking and "acquiring" stuff to have & then utilize them - especially as none of them are playing by rules to begin with.

Nice to see that cat by the window. I don't thing that's Seras in the towel given the lack of a tail, though. Giselle is cute. I loved seeing her get snippy with Elysia, who is also cute. Lol at Gimlet's goofy faces.

but we still haven't seen their ceiling, from the thieving cat or from the masters, as they couldn't go nuke on the fight as they could injure Cross, and I say nuke because they have nuked places already hahaha

we do see the Trio effectively erase a city off the map, give or take, in a flashback when they first came across the lightning elemental girl (Sylphie, I think her name was) - it's just a panel, but they were up against a veritable army with a fortified city, and it was narrated as "gone" in the aftermath.

So yes, "nuke" is accurate in terms of rough equivalency - city-leveling, at minimum. But I also think it's not worth talking about their hypothetical ceiling, because past a certain point they could potentially disrupt things like continental tectonics or the magnetosphere of the planet which would spell an apocalypse for life on the planet this all takes place on.

And when you can do that as an individual, the concept loses all meaning because you can't show that sort of power in a meaningful way - so it becomes useless in conversation.

For Seras compared to that - Thieves aren't trying to destroy continents. I would say that a fair comparison is that there's no vault or secret that can't be accessed or uncovered by her, however much a person or organization or nation state might try.
So she could "erase" a city from the map by stealing intelligence and leaking it to that city's enemies, thereby weakening it to the point it can be crippled and toppled by opposing forces that could only achieve that by way of Seras' abilities.

But that's a level of world-cohesion granularity that might go beyond what the author themself has considered when putting all of this together, so.

Cat lady incoming

 

[savris]

Kitty's back! And it look like Mordred-lite's declaring war on Aiz Wallen-whatser-whozit-lite Please, author-san for the love of god, PLEASE make this a true harem instead of the clear predictable route of Cross heading straight towards the Aiz-lite route.
