Shinkon Quest: Maou no Musume wa Majime Yuusha o Otoshitai - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Should I introduce you as an old friend?

[SilentWInd]

If he's the only one in the security team then good god this village deserves to be burned down.

Thanks for the chapter!
This manga reminds of the Futurama episode "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back".
'They got that town running so efficiently, all physical labour is done by one Hero.'

Another poopy translator... RIP this manga.

Sorry but the demon lady is still the best wife.

"Hey wow that's the one tree that is connected to one of three Gods!"
"Which one?"
"IDFK, one of them"
Great world building.

It wouldnt surprise me if there was already a Manga or a novel called "my childhood friend is the demon lord" (the cover would be the hero looking like he is about to fall and embarassed while the young looking demon lord with horns has a happy naive smile).

You immediately lose if you're a childhood friend. Unless if the series is about childhood friends.

Most of the time when the Childhood Friend loses, its because they did nothing to express their feelings to the MC until they were already with someone else. Like, did they just assume that they were a 100% shoe-in for Love Interest so they didn't bother making a move? Not saying there hasn't been times where the CF made moves before hand, but most of the time they are passive until they realise they lost.

Honestly, I say a hearty "SUCK IT, IRIS! YA FUCKING LOSER! GET REKT!"
Cos even if the marriage is about obligations and not about love, if someone spoke to my wife like she did to Yona, I would at least tell her I did not want to talk to her for a while, and if that behaviour continued, I'd cut her out completely.

Am I petty? Yeah. But if she pulled him aside and brought up her concerns, I probably wouldnt be.

she's gonna die alone, betrayed, with a devastated heart

does this one count?

Not sure, is on my to-read list but haven't seen it yet, still too much to finish and I shouldnt begin anything new, plot synopsys doesn't answer it.

 

[BKNY_STEVE]

Feel like it's more "gaining family approval" from Harold's side than anything. Basically, the start of garnering support for the whole idea of cohabitation.

Also, the presence of Iris will now stir up jealousy in Yona

Well, in this series, he would never make a move on anyone due to his rules. He never considered Iris a love interest because he was never allowed to consider anyone to be a love interest. She probably knows his rules very well, and was trying to work within his restrictions to slowly gain his attention (my presumption of her plan).

I mean, his father had gotten married somehow while being the hero before running away.

It's pretty telling that she didn't hear that he had gotten married. The state didn't announce it, there was no celebration, no grand setup of the "quest to save the world", or anything. It just underscores how little he is regarded by the kingdom. That's why when she finds out that it is a quest, she just assumes that it is something like the handyman requests he is given around town. Something for him to eventually finish and drop, because he didn't marry her for love, but as a request. She has no idea that the book is requesting the two of them to emotionally bond.

Of course, I assume they will beat this into the ground by showing how far he bends over backwards for humanity before the "world saving quest" has him eventually leave to the Demon Realm to rule as the new Demon Lord. Based on the description text of the series, I presume the quest book was written by his now wife.

I didn't think about that, it makes it all the more sad honestly, I hope that is another conscious decision by the author to use it as an hook for the story.

 

[home7]

what about the book? can you explain this reference to me please?

Quick summary is Shinzo Abe wanted the Japanese to have families and kids. Pretty sure he enacted policies that funded pro family anime and stuff like Spy X Family. Look up Shinzo Abe memes and you get the basic idea.

Thanks for uploading. Sucks to be friendzone

Friendzone!? Bro, she didn't even get that, she got Siszoned

 

[Dogwelder]

its so frustrating how ungrateful and how much thesw villagers take for granted the things he does for them. This is why heroes are stupid because if someone goes around doing everything for people they will never do anything for themselves.

Putting that aside I think big things like giant monsters or whatever is something he should probably deal with

It is just dumb. Authors who do this are so boring and lame. I always hate the forced or contractual relationship. Because no matter how they frame it. The relatiomship is always forced.
