Just when I thought I finish reading, another chapter arrives! Hooray! Thank you for the scanlation!

Edit: The Slum Dude's worries about exploitation for cheap labor and not really having the choice refuse aren't wrong, but it's weird that he can express it in front of the noble lords.

I also wish I can read what the protagonist fully has to say after "Standard wage" on page 20 because if the likely worse-than-average performance from the sick, starving, and crippled people from the slums (not only is farm work demanding, quite a lot of the old farming tools I know of expect a person with both hands and legs attached) got their pay cut based on performance, then it can probably still be considered exploitation, right?

"oh no, now instead of having no food and no income, we will be provided food, a living space, and an income. those evil nobles exploiting us"

As far as he know this was meant to deal with just scurvy, that's why he said we don't have a luxury to be charitable.

The meeting seems like it's gonna end without explaining that this disease affect them too, what the wages are like, and what binds the nobles from breaking their deal and paying them like shit.

Cold sauerkraut works, too. You can eat it while it served cold.
Yes. i was surprised it does taste better when cold. i do not like it warm. it is somehow little sweet in the taste. definetly not bad at all.

and well she was angry for sure. because The Slum Leader did belittle her because he was too proud. but she ain't having none of that. xD

she got a point, pride can prevail over hunger and/or fear of death to an extent, but everyone doesn't want to die (unless affected by mental illness).


Kimchi is the same to some extent, both use lactic acid fermentation.
Well if you are not korean (or belong to one of the other cultures where people are bathed in spiciness for all of their life), kimchi can make you spew fire as it is usually horribly spicy, while sauerkraut is just sour (and have a strong smell that can be off putting) so I usually see it as mostly harmless compared to radioactive red kimchi.

Hmm, when I was reading the novel Victor feels a bit younger. I imagine him to be handsome baldie instead, considering his future role.

To be fair, it is reasonable to have doubts. You can't seriously mock that thoughts when even now, people are forced to sell their labour dirt cheap in very precarious working conditions. You might say that it is lucky to even get a job in this economy, but it doesn't hide away the fact that it is an exploitation.

good on her to shut down his pouting nonsense immediately. i get being skeptical of nobles and all that yada yada, but i got the impression that the Margrave was deeply respected in his teritory so i really don't get the reasoning for his little outburst when they got offered possibly the best solution they might ever get to save who kows how many lives from the slums
Maybe he thought is sounded too good to be true, but to just dismiss it like that is just foolish

kinda understandable for the slums leader guy to be skeptical considering the noble behavior.

but for him not considering how weirdosly care the Margrave with people and their constant action is truly justiciable part on young lady outburst lol.

in fact i will laugh my ass off too if a kid pointing out his hypocrite statement with smoll angry bear face like that lmao

I never come across store bought kimchi that's spicy enough to 'spew fire', I don't think anyone would
