Shin no Nakama janai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni shimashita - Vol. 3 Ch. 17

[Ainzell]

@JavelinJoe some chapters before (I'm sorry I forgot which one) the author showed us that the hero party is struggling more than before because the MC wasn't there (because he do all the background works) HELL even just his presence help the party (especially the hero). my opinion is the MC blessing is still useful to the hero party even after the hero defeat the demon lord because he's the one that keep the hero in check (if not after they kill the Demon lord the hero's free and can do a lot of "bad" things in my opinion) and one thing that's important is he's the one that do the background works that help the hero party to advance toward their mission. My question is why the hero is the only one that have such pressure? I mean the other party members should have the same burden to keep the party strong and make it stronger to help defeat demon lord, so the Sage doing is unreasonable and the blessing should do the "curse" thingy work right?

But well I shouldn't use logic in a "Fiction" because "Fiction" is where everything that can't be linked into logic and if you need to add something that's impossible, unreasonable, and absurd then just put "Fantasy and magically thingy" label on top and voila it's plausible now, well that's something that I learn by reading some story. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I write this because it's something that bother me, I mean the author write that the blessings is a curse too and one that receive the blessings should do what the blessings is about, or sorry if I'm wrong and the only one that hold the blessings and curses is just the hero.

I'm sorry for the lack of punctuation can't help it.

@Ainzell
It is, at least as far as I know, the sole responsibility of the Hero to defeat the Demon King. Sure, she has a party along with her, but in the end, only she HAS to do it. Which is why she is the only one "responsible" for the party's well-being. I bet that if not for their own blessings not being chosen for them, the Hero's party would have been made up of different representatives of various countries/kingdoms, basically leaching off of the Hero's title fame in order to make their country/kingdom look better and gain more prestige. Basically, there is no "blessing" in being the Hero. It is 100% only a curse. Best part is that once the Demon King has been dealt with, she likely will end up either being killed off, or at least sevearly restricted/incapacitated by the human side. If she kept her powers, she would become an existence unrivaled to humanity. In other words, a threat if she ever was displeased about something. So I bet once things wrap up, she gets immediately turned upon. Especially since she knows all of the bullshit that has been going on around her, but was incapable of doing anything about it at the time. And that she clearly has no issues with straight up murdering anyone who crosses her on a bad day, and better yet, doesn't have to heal them afterwords.

 

[Yurnero]

ok that was satisfying at least

@JavelinJoe oh only the hero blessings that can force the holder? (I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you said). Well then the best solution for the hero is going solo the entire time until she reach the demon king (there's no time limit right?). And about afterwards (after she killed off the demon king) I think the best one is to build her own country/kingdom, using her fame I bet a lot of peasants would want to join. Maybe another country/kingdom want to kill her but with the power of peasants that she saved (during her mission to kill the demon king) she can destroy a kingdom. There's still sane noble right? I mean obviously they know the hero capabilities, waging war with the hero would cost a lot of casualties and nobody want that because the very threat in the world (aka the demon king) is gone now. The human will be back to the time before the demon king presence, that is waging war among each other. Killing the hero would only bring harm than benefits if there's at the very least sane person then they won't kill the hero, they still need her to kill off the remaining demon that scatter around, they need her to boost the peasants morale, and etc. Keeping the hero alive have more benefits if they handle it correctly.

We can make an example of this world situation like ours during the ww2 period and the aftermath, let's say US is the hero (I said this because if not for US helps the entire Europe would fall to Nazi). After the ww there's almost no war between countries unlike before ww. That's because now there are US, US had showed their strength and power during the ww the entire world know well killing US only bring harm even if they work together to kill it because it would cost a lot of casualties (yes the entire world can win again US but obviously the damage is greater than ever), with the US presence after ww2 a lot of countries can get back to their feet (by helping other countries economy), the US have important role in keeping the Soviet in bay. I'm not glorifying the US but what I said is a fact before the US join the war the Nazi almost got himself UK and without the lending of weaponry from the US to Soviet, soviet would lose. Then it will be a piece of cake to take over Europe and Asia with Nazi ally that's Japan Empire, and without the role of US in pacific war Japan would conquer all Asia. (All countries that participate in the ww2 is important, thank you for your participation in the ww2 even Japan Empire and the Nazi itself is important. Because of war our world can grow to this level, without war modern weaponry and such would be slow in development). I'm sorry I think I have deviated too much with this conversation.

@JavelinJoe Why bother turning on someone when their curse is built to take out the weapon once you're done with it? 😉

This was a satisfying chapter but the future has so much more wonderful things in store.

@Ainzell for your question about why the Hero divine blessing apply pressure to the holder. It is because the stronger the divine blessing, the stronger the impulse.
So yeah she's practically a weapon who had little to no human emotion left.

As for MC, his guide divine blessing make him a guide for hero. He got high level early, but he can't level up as well as the other. When the hero's level are higher than the guide, then his job are done. Meaning he doesn't have anymore bound to his impulse. At the starting point of this story, his job are done but he stick to Ruti to help her with chores and background work. So even if he leave, his impulse wouldn't go wild. Hero's divine blessing also can't really restrict party member leaving so she can't do anything.

And no, she can't solo against Demon King for obvious reason. So she needs a party. IIRC her party member also receive benefits from her divine blessing.

In the even when she done slaying the Demon king. The country probably grant her nobility to contain her and also please the crowd.
If they do dispose her howerver, then it will turn ugly for them.

 

[Ainzell]

@Warilized oh thank you this is the answer I was looking for, thanks for answering all my question from "why only the hero got the pressure" to "after demon king's defeated".

Edit: And yeah being a hero is suck, you can't have much freedom.

 

[PimpinelaOverHeaven]

"a 'hero' cannot throw away her allies" but what about guideon then? it's ok for him to leave? that doesn't make any sense...

 

[isoujiX]

@Silvernius ahhh so it's like that,thanks bro. but, actually they arent siblings, right?

 

[Francis]

@PimpinelaOverHeaven by *throw away* they may have meant *kill* but either way, Gideon leaving wasn't her fault and she also found out after he left the party. If anything, her blessing is what stops her from abandoning her mission to chase after the MC

 

[Artaris]

Thank you for translating


poor girl

 

[Varler]

T.T

 

[diidlydoo]

the more powerful a divine blessing is, the more restrictions it puts on the owner.
"Hero". one of the absolute rarest and powerful divine blessings, as such its compelling force on the owner is extremely strong as well. basically demolishing any attempt to resist it. as much power it gives ruti it takes away her freedom. it takes away her connections. it removes any form of weakness.
emotions can be used against you. anger, overconfidence, pride, and love. thus they are removed
need to sleep leaves you vulnerable. thus removed
to be the ultimate weapon you must remove weakness
to remove weakness is to become an emotionless puppet with no freedom.

 

[magefeanor]

Holy shit, that didn't happen in the novel did it?
I'm fairly certain it didn't. This was a lot more satisfying.

 

[stavekoff]

good

 

[mage_goo]

hero can't throw away her allies

but her allies sure can
congrats, alex, you just take away the hero's mental safety device, now she won't hesitate using any loophole regarding her hero status to unleash her fury
you earned that punch, alex, good for you

how are you still obsessed with her after she literally blow your chest away, anyway

 

[Warilized]

@PimpinelaOverHeaven Gideon left by his own volition, so she can't really do anything because it is not an abandonement...

 

[chusetto]

Don't mess with the imouto

 

[GodKing46]

Dang. Don’t fuck with the hero no matter what.

 

[xironi]

I hate how the premise of the story has forced this misunderstanding with ruti and gideon because it inflicts such deep suffering on ruti who did nothing wrong. while gideon gets to play house in bumfuck nowhere his sister is out there risking her life as a slave to destiny
