Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou o Shiranai Kamigami no Shito - Ch. 69

Probably, for the best. We've reached the point where the only "safe" bet additions are demons, dragons, deities. Anyone else is LIKELY to start a war. =P

But the new demon girl might be a princess of the demon kingdom, though?

 

[TheDragonLord]

I would’ve bet solid money that she would’ve been one of his wives. We haven’t seen her in a bit but I’m hoping she shows up with her fiancé for a bit


maybe if the person behind it had been a prince or king that would’ve been justified but he was just a mid-ranked noble. wiping out the country would’ve been the same as executing s family because one of them was a serial killer. Sure they maybe should’ve done more to stop him but I don’t think their responsibility is At the level where death is the only remedy

I agree, though, unfortunately, that ain't a typical mindset. Though maybe because the kingdom's founder was from a different world and different era, the kingdom has some flexibility. Also, Cain can rock the whole, "As the apostle of the pantheon, I declare…" as a legitimate pardon.

 

[TheDragonLord]

But they're at the very least fiancees, right?

Yup. Solid yup.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Bro-Con Big Sis getting married off to the King's son is something that's out of field.

 

[TheDragonLord]

This is a republic so they don't have nobility, he was a council member. So as high as possible imo.

Add to that they tried to resolve the first incident internally, only for the same guy to go and do whatever he did. I would say it is justified. Sure not all are bad. But they were aware of him and his son action against their neighbours. And they opted for a slap on the wrist and ingored the issue.

Well, plus Cain could always use the "apostle of the gods" tonsave his dumb brainwashed ass. Now he can get sorted out by less crazy folks. That said, since the kingdom was founded by modern folks, maybe, that is just expected custom (what other nations do), but their kingdom is different? 🤔

Honestly, I don't recommend applying real-world reasoning skills to what they do in this story, ever. It's better if you think of it as a fantasy story adjusted for young readers, with heavy plot conveniences included by the author pretty much everywhere, and an intentional detachment from real-world logic.

She's the older or younger sister oft the current demon king. Hence, the whole "nuke country of slavery idiots."

 

[Renvix]

It's likely that the demon princess will ask him to be her fiancé.

That's understandable. I tend to prefer in-universe consistent logic. Which is kinda like usingral world logic, but only if the logic of the world written about were the real world. Self-consistency. Did you properly write a story in such a way that the audience can follow your logic?

At least, that's what I tell the fantasy/sci-fi/webcomic/comic authors I've edited for in the past. You can go crazy just so long as you can explain it well enough to not totally torture your audience. Unless, that's the goal. Cough. Evangelion. Cough.

No, not exactly. There are gonna be spoilers involved to clarify it, so be aware that it'll spoil things for you if you read this:

Spoiler: Only read if you're ok with being spoiled

The demon nation (it's an island nation) is one large "country" (city) where the blood royalty live and rule, and then there are 4 smaller "countries" (cities) where the rulers are decided by strength instead of heritage. Lisabeth is the younger sister of the crown prince of the royal family.

What happened is that the Demon King of that royal family, has fallen into a coma with no explanation ever given as to why and it never gets resolved (I have no idea why Cain never healed him while he was there), and so the crown prince is set to take over but the pressing issue is that he needs to solidify his power politically. So he wants to marry his younger sister to a specific demon lord who holds a lot of military sway amongst those 4 "countries", which is the reason why Lisabeth escaped in the first place.

So what she wants Cain to do in that mess, is to be an excuse to not be married to that demon lord (who is a middle-aged man according to the WN iirc), which she doesn't tell Cain about.

But because of the demons having found out about her enslavement, the nation was preparing to go to war. The thing is, the demons hold more power than the humans do, but the demons are much fewer in numbers; which is the reason why the topic of invading the humans never came up before this, according to how the author framed it.

But of course Seto, knowing about Cain, is firmly against the war, and is having a hard time convincing the others. So that's what Cain will be doing over there, and things happens, so on and so forth. It's a pretty amusing arc, but personally I'm really looking forward to what is gonna happen from where the WN translations are at.

what is bro on about in the credits

 

[GoldOrSilver]

(Sees the last panel)

Me : Umm yoh good bro? 😨😶

 

[Llangion]

That ending card had me laughing!

Dont say it, dont think it

 

[Xonthelon]

I'm always uncomfortable how Cain lets himself get tossed around like that. Shouldn't the king, who is well aware that Cain can destroy the kingdom single-handedly, ask if he is fine with having to manage more territory? The rank increase is fine, but I would definitely say no to more land in his position as it's a hassle (especially if it belonged to a defeated, corrupt noble and another country).

Brocon sis got engaged to the (crown) prince? Didn't see that coming. But we haven't seen her in awhile anyway.

The next antagonist will be found in the Demon Empire, I assume. I won't get my hopes up, but he (are there even any female antagonists in this story?) can hardly be more annoying than Corgino.

 

[mayo]

why did you have to end it with oh hi. are you trying to kill me

we have a month bro. lets cherish it. until her next life

If this is about the reparations between the two countries, then it puzzles me that one would see this as not being real world reasoning as opposed to a fantasy one.

Someone mentioned that as the perpetrator was representive of the assembly, that it goes to the highest levels and therefore is grounds for war. That doesn't make any sense in the real world. Imagine going to war because a minister or assembly man of a republic committed a crime in another country....an already disgraced one at that. To equate it to being equivalent to the actions of royalty of an absolute monarchy doesn't track in the real world.

Furthermore, as the people repeatedly note, no actual harm came to anyone on the Esfort side. Even if this was due to the efforts of Esfortians, the fact remains that there was no damage. Even further, the true mastermind was an Esfortian. While a mere member of nobility doesn't hold the same representative power, even a Marquis, and the actual grave crime was committed by Ilstin, this should be grounds for some compromise.

Judging by the fact that said assembly man's wealth was drained by the fine of 80 platinum coins, and that he was particularly well off, we can get a ball park estimate of somewhere in the range of 100,000 platinum for the country's GDP, give or take an order of magnitude, and assuming Renaissance era economics. If we take it exactly as 100k, then 10k even if over 10 years, is a very hefty reparation I think is quite valid given the avoidance of war and the circumstances of the people involved. Furthermore a territory was ceded, including a tax paying city that benefits from trade revenue, as well as priority on trade agreements given. Even if vague, these are at least as valuable/damaging, if not more so, than the monetary reparations.

I'm not saying this series doesn't have contrivances or fantasy reasoning, but the manga version does clean up a lot compared to what I heard/vaguely remember of the novel versions, and compared to other fantasy series I've read. It does a pretty good job of making the setting somewhat believable, for example explaining differences in local economy in different parts Esfort using geographic reasons in some previous chapters. I'm opposed to folks not thinking this through then attributing their objection on the excuse of realism. It reminds me of things like audiences panning some practical effects in movies as CG because they can't tell the difference.

If I seem quite anal about it, it's probably because this kind of stuff will become even more relevant in future chapters, just not with Ilstin. At least I think so, I can't quite remember.






Also LOL this king. Honestly he's a nice dad to have.

 

[Mafeb]

The demons who, if the stereotype is followed here, respect strength, and are about to be visited by one who's almost the strongest there is.

ALMOST strongest? MC summoned the fricking demon king as a familiar by mistake, and his kingly reaction was to KNEEL in awe and fear.
If he enters demon territories he might pull a "Shanks on Whitebeard ship" without even trying
