Shiboritoranaide, Onna Shounin-san - Vol. 9 Ch. 46.2 - The Bangles' Cost Part 2

[BusinessGL]

I can't say anything about Mental Illnesses in general, people with those get accommodated/punished based on various factors in regards to their actions...

But I can certainly say if you get a brain parasite that makes you uncontrollably violet and murderous, then on top of that if it can spread and we have no way to cure it?
Time for some lead supplements, administered hot.
'Course at this time that's not an issue for humanity.

She could also be in control of his meds

 

[Hem]

This is written pretty well. It shows perfectly what heppens when you have a weak father. The daughter should not be the one in charge and deciding what lavi can and can't do. He just stands there passively doing nothing and saying nothing.

It'd be nice to see growth in them int he future. It'd be nice to see why Lavi's dad is the way he is and same with his sister.

I dunno, she probably can when she can turn around and snap his neck.

Wipe that goddamn smile off of that goddamn bitch's face.

So this is how they cope for losing the mother, by overprotective

 

[Dalek-Bob]

I think the early comment about the Dad was spot on - the loss of his power, his wife, and the ability to even continue working have emotionally crippled him. Not to say that absolved him of what is happening, but he is in a state of depression and helplessness were all he can do is watch.

Sis... Speaking from some past knowledge of my own, I can get what led to this... She lost alot of that day and seeks to ensure she won't lose anything else. Unfortunately she has chosen the best way to do so is by turning her brother into property. She does not view him a person with free will, he is her thing. To be put on a shelf and kept...

This chapter showed us this isn't the standard brocon overprotective trope, but a full on psychosis. She is far more dangerous than shown in the past, as well as openly and blissfully abusive.

I'm sure the author knows what they're doing, and I can't wait to see where we go from here.

Thanks again for translating!

Where the story started: A weak boy trying to get stronger while getting milked by a busty fox trying to profit by foisting her kinks on him.

Now: We're seeing that somehow a woman in love with and lusting for a kid who's half her age finding out that he's in a highly, HIGHLY dysfunctional family that he's being crushed under.

Also, it was shown in flashbacks that Connie was overprotective and clingy with incestuous feelings towards her little brother. However she wasn't as flat out possessive and emotionally abusive then as she is now. There were some cracks in childhood that were broken WIDE OPEN when mom disappeared and Dad got depowered and emotionally broken.

 

[Tarage]

Could be deception, a hostage situation or other form of chicanery. I don't think it has been mentioned that the parasite overpowered her and her entire team by itself just like that. It's the intellect Devourer snowball situation all over again: You don't have to start strong --you only have to outplay one strong prey and start growing out of control from there.

This one they didn't literally explain.

I want you to stare at this page, and the page following it, and tell me with a straight face that she isn't being held hostage. She isn't evil.

 

[Tarage]

I don’t think you understand what a parasite is. It’s still the mother doing things despite being influenced, that’s what makes a parasite of parasite. It latches onto another creature and influences it. The mother doesn’t want to do the things she’s doing but she has no control over it. But it’s still the mother doing it sadly. That’s what makes it tragic. Everyone wants to kill the mother to stop this but LAVI WANTS TO SAVE HER despite how risky it is.

And the sister is clearly traumatized from that incident. she is trying to protect him albeit the wrong way because of the trauma of what happened to their mother. do we discount the damage that she got? Do we discount that she was influenced by the mother being attacked by this monster? Does she not get the benefit of the doubt and does she deserve to be stabbed to death?

So sorry, I don’t really put them in separate categories where she is “stabbable” and deserving of murder. She was also influenced by the exact same parasitic creature but in a different way.

Unless you don’t view mental illnesses as a disease that can be treated

https://mangadex.org/chapter/5f0a1c1e-e1da-4e93-9712-b3292642f7e7/12

So you don't actually read the manga do you. That page shows the exact opposite of everything you said about her.

Also please point to where I said the sister should be murdered. A. she is a powerful white mage who has on multiple occasions pulled out huge heals, even on herself and B. the point of him doing damage to himself is to cause her pain, not kill her. The point is to incapacitate her or force her to remove the bangles. And no, being overprotective is not an excuse. Munchausen by proxy exists and is fucking horrible and abusive.

The next time you have a thought, let it go.

 

[CrimsonNanashi]

I’ll say this, while Connie may be going a bit too far she ain’t wrong in what she’s doing. The fact is that even before the bangles were given to him Lavi was weak AF and he had no special power like the rest of his siblings or even the other adventurers. Even if he trained he was never going to get on the level of the rest of his family or even the rest of his peers. Connie knows this is the case so why would she ever ina million year allow him to go into the dungeon where her OP mother got captured and the rest of her OP party lost said OP powers? Especially when she knows Lavi’s goal is to beat the monster that beat their mother. She’s also not wrong in saying that the only reason he got to level 30 was because of Filo and her enabling of his desire to find the thing that killed his mother so he can get revenge.

All in all Connie ain’t wrong in her desire to protect Lavi and even the way she went about it wasn’t wrong. Is it going a tad bit extreme? Sure but so what. Older siblings are supposed to protect their younger siblings even at the expense of themselves. It’s why they’re born first. She is literally putting her life on the line with the protection she gave him.

 

[Dariark]

Geez, here I thought that despite this revelation, Lavi would instead cut ties with his crazy sister and get suppressed, then somehow make a comeback (I believe the author is more than capable of writing it). Well, I understand his sister is OP, but running to his bedroom like a little kid despite everything he's been through feels like a "reset button" in his progress.

It would be more interesting if he had stabbed her, cursed at her, bitted her, or lied saying he and Filo will marry because she's pregnant (mental damage over 9000!). Pretty much anything is better than having everyone come to his doorstep and invoke discourse no Jutsu for Lavi to be able to fight against his sister.

Nevertheless, this development doesn't diminish the overall value of the story; it's just my arbitrary expectation. I'm hoping for his comeback to be great and that he can gain some power ups (at least, having his powers back without the shackles) to combo with Filo's "apparatus."


Thank you so much for the translation!

 

[Manchura]

she'll somehow be redeemed or justified I swear

 

[AncientWatcher]

Someone needs to call that world's versions of Child Protective Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Army Rangers.

Connie is really sick in the head, and I want to see her take a punch to the face.

You seem to misunderstand me. Read the comment you quoted again: I was never talking about her being an unwilling victim in this (which se pretty evidently is), I was talking about how she became that unwilling victim.

That's what I'm hoping for .

I hope someone gets this reference:

All I could think seeing the Philo put on the scarf was "Can I Really Be the Hero?"

 

[setan123456]

i dropped this manga rather quickly and came back after seeing new volume cover, and boy, it's a welcomed surprise

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

God I hate the sister. Hoping he never forgives her.
