I didn´t understand why the word "wife" was used in this chapter, i might need to look at the japanese raws to understand why it was translated as such.

The riddle seems kinda dumb to me.
Sure humans CAN kill, but kill EVERY living thing? And be cruel about it? And what's this about greed and sorrow and cowardice?
Couldn't all this be prescribed to a bear as well?

And what's this about 'cutting ones self up'? When do humans do that?

I suppose all these emotions could be described as specifically human emotions, and thus it could only be humans, but something about it just rubs me the wrong way rather than making me go - "OH! Of course!" Like so many riddles do.

I was initially thinking the answer would be death, since it kills and does so to all living things; is greedy constantly taking more, and is also kind and charitable since death can be a merciful thing; and it is the root cause of cowardice, and much sorrow, and is what makes people wish for eternity.
Though still no idea how cutting itself up would apply, but it doesn't apply to humans either, so....

It might just be translation issues that giving me such issues with the riddle though. :thonk:

Most people are blinded by the gold outside and get excited about their wives, but… […]
Even though my wife said she would keep you by her side […]
Answer my wife's question […]
I have a really hard time thinking of a way this would make sense. What wives? Whose wives? Why wives?

He just wanted to show off by saving the camel mid-air. He could've turned the entire sand into a safe pool that cradled it as it fell, but nah, gotta be a show off.

Also he could've pulled the entire dungeon out of the sand too, or even just filled it with sand and dragged everything of value out. Guess he just wanted to go spelunking.

In any case, the real treasure was the Sphinx all along. Helloooooo Nurse!

Ok, Imma take a guess that "Kanade" is OCR mistaking "妾/warawa", an archaic pronoun usually used by older women/very old fashioned women, often of high status, to refer to themselves for "奏(でる)/kana(deru)", and when the TL says "the master" it is a mistranslation of "(お)主/(o)nushi", which is an archaic way of saying "you" casually.
