Slime Seijo - Ch. 46 - The Boy's Confession

[tremor3258]

I expect a couple revelations like why a sword restriction, but no way Leon hit his experienced father.

 

[Forikorder]

So that wasn't actually a pos father after all, but he was fathering the hero in a very wrong, very misunderstood way.

I can get not wanting your children to risk their lives in a violent occupation, but unless they're going into illegal, criminal activity where a parent should lead them away from such a life, it's not really up to the parent to decide their children's future.

maybe he knew his kid was a hero and once he picked up a sword hed be too exceptional to be allowed to remain a farmer

 

[Xonthelon]

All this buildup and drama, it would be kind of underwhelming if Leon wasn't at fault at all. Maybe he bisected the boar AND scratched his father's flank out of mistake... with a damn twig?

 

[Nekotofu]

My guts telling me that Boar struck Hero's father when he's distracted by his son.
But the hero went rampage and when the villager found it the monster already dead.
They either think he killed his father or thinking how he can defeat such large monster is terrifying on itself and so agree to let him go.

"I mistook my father for a monster"

Uhhh no there was clearly a monster on there too.

I can't bring myself to read this anymore. This chapter was just too stupid.

Use your brain for once, it’s a traumatic event. He obviously isn’t a reliable narrator here. Does the author need to handhold you guys through everything

Rude, i'm not sure if we've ever even spoken.

 

[lordb1]

It was the previous chapter, and honestly all they did was flash a couple disjointed memories of him screaming along with Leon not even being certain on why the things were playing out the way they were. Physically, Leon looked perfectly fine. Dad was intimidating, but not necessarily abusive.

I've read and watched enough media to recognize the framing. Even if it was not the author/artist's intent, it was still framed in a way that made it look like an abusive father. But yes, I did assume it was that author/artist's intent to frame it as such.

 

[mangagon]

Thanks for the translation! He probably did not stab his father.

 

[kaptenkeren]

Also father: We live in and right beside such a dangerous place, but nope, not gonna teach the son any way to defend himself, not one bit, because for some reason.

But farmer can count as basic training. Swing a hoe (I mean tool, not woman. Lol) is same as swinging the sword. And much better since it hit the ground and moving step by step. You will forget you swing a lot in bright sun for many hours.

Also, dad and the others still reliable to protect the village. That's what I think. Unless the boy got cheat skill bs... No comment any further.

So don't forget basic. It's apply to all of what you're doing for survive. Lol.

than a hoe swing

with wooden sword

father gets stabbed by the sword

Just a little nitpick, but it was a wooden stick, not a wooden sword or the hoe (you can see that he left the hoe at the field, and he picks up a stick while hiding in the bushes).

If he can't tell the difference between a human and a giant boar, he's got bigger problems.

I think author's angle here is that he charged in with his eyes closed.

i don't think a stick can pierce flesh, especially if its a child doing it.

What Landale said, plus he also, most likely, awakened his hero powers there.

All this buildup and drama, it would be kind of underwhelming if Leon wasn't at fault at all. Maybe he bisected the boar AND scratched his father's flank out of mistake... with a damn twig?

Well, he did charge in recklessly, distracting his father, i'd say that counts as a fault. As for the twig, see above.

yeah, I knew it was a stick but I guess I just called it a sword there because of the posts I was replying to.

 

[KuroeNekumi]

My guess about how shit went down is that he hit his father after all, but it wasn't enough to be a fatal wound on its own.

If the writer wanted to be interestingly dramatic about it, they could make it so he died fighting off the boars while trying to get his son to safety after that happened, but he would likely have died anyway and only pushed through out of desperation to protect him and get him back to the village.

And, of course, that his father didn't want him to pick up a sword because he wanted a different life for him, away from having to risk life and limb day in and day out. Because of course that's how this plotline goes

 

[AcelJean]

So... he's Miles Edgeworth?

 

[EchoGirl]

it sounds like he left willingly as opposed to the village kicking him out at least

Seemed obvious

Which is why it doesn't seem right. An author should try and be one step ahead of the audience and know what they're guessing. But things might become more complicated in other ways, so it might not matter that this issue is so obvious

Problem is we can workshop our theories together and figure things out. I recall back when the Harry Potter books were still coming out,

Spoiler: 15 year old spoilers just in case

the mysterious character known as R.A.B. was quickly looked into and many in the forums I was part of had the theory he was Regulus Black, Sirius' brother. There were huge debates as well on Snape's loyalty and his feelings for Lily, Harry's mom and correctly guessed Snape's allegiances. And the last debate was if Harry was a horcrux himself.

Point is, the author is one person and with a readership on an international level, some might be able to guess what the author is planning and disseminate it on these forums. Now just because we figure some of the story out doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
