Slime Seijo - Ch. 19 - Third-Rate Actors

Oh no! Jelly is kidnapped! ... And she is free.

Suddenly monsters? Was it from the mysterious man or they are just that unlucky.

 

[Gotham2298]

Don’t worry, some of them will survive! (Probably)

 

[IlsaTilsaKilsaMilsa]

Certainly ''brigands'' that.

 

[Salfaro]

And that's how Jelly gained more followers.

 

[Valve]

The typical manga plot made to make the readers think "just leave them to die for once!" only for the MC to do the same thing they ALWAYS do and save them and befriend them through some bullshit repentence/"I understand why you did it" drama...
Author crossing out the mandated trope situations already, doesn't bode well for future plot.
Would be nice with some manga where the plot stays interesting even after the first 20 pages. With chapters like this it's just "I hope there wont be too many filler chapters" and you read just one more chapter, and one more chapter...

 

[Blackrobe]

I smirked at "food thief" pigeons

 

[BoredTears]

I do wonder how their opinion would change if they knew she was a saint, and then if it would change again if they knew which saint. Though I don't know how far Jelly's reputation has spread, it does seem like something the church would try to keep quiet.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Nautical]

I assume they were hired by the girl to kidnap her so she fails

 

[jackjack9]

I wonder how Jelly will handle these monsters.

I get what you are saying, I hate that tired cliche too, but in this case, they are making it pretty clear these dudes are not real bandits with murderous intent.

This situation is not what it seems, they are likely being forced into doing this by a third party.

 

[Shrimperor]

Time for them to work for Jelly and earn lotsa money!

 

[gum_rummy]

Oh no, it’s The Bad Guys.

 

[Anon5688]

...that face on page 21 made something twitch inside me

 

[EchoGirl]

I guess the title kinda spoils that those villager/kidnappers were paid off by that saint (although i guess that was obvious/foreshadowed at the end of last chapter too. Or they're just desperate villagers b/c of the nobles like they said but hopefully there are 'good' nobles rather than ppl on the extreme end like OG!Jelly) Love how she instantly broke out of those ropes with sheer force/strength, i half expected her to 'slip out' by like making her wrists loose/jelly like/boneless temporarily xD

Something something you're not supposed to feed birds bread? tho if it's a magic word maybe they can eat whole sandwiches and be fine XD (i'm just imagining a 4koma/bonus sketch of those birds pooping on that black haired saint's head XD)

 

[isoycrazy]

Beware the true evil: food-stealing pigeons.

My favorite take on the stereotypical bandit encounter was in the Jörmungandr isekai WN.

Spoiler: Encounter

Two guys who are entirely too reasonable for this line of work stop a small noble carriage. They notice the carriage’s plain state and decide it’s a noble facing exile who is probably more down on his luck than they are. They step aside to let it pass, and Jörmungandr (in tiny snake form) crawls out and tips them a gold.

Considering the other saint 'guided'/pointed Jelly to that way, she's either probably involved or "knows"/heard rumors that they're struggling with money issues to where they'd try to get a ransom , if she's not (literally) throwing them to the wolves b/c she's able to send monsters after all of them too and then just blame her death on this kinda scuffle/struggle

Priorities:
1: Alone
2: Food.
Slime Saint has her priorities straight.

Wants to explain it to extract a favour. Jelly's lucky she's opportunistic.

Even though she likes food, she still shares. I'd call her a cinnamon bun, but she'd eat it.

She did the Wii thing without the strap attached.

That throw was a little bit lucky.

Did they hire a few farmers to catch her? Well, at least they're not dairy farmers...

So she's the kind that can't think and chew bubblegum at the same time.

So they don't even know who she is.

"What will Jelly do?"

Not a question. She's not Jelly.
