Tensei Renkin Shoujo no Slow Life - Ch. 4 - The journey toward the royal capital continues...

[Chizan]

Leaf springs for the carriage would be relatively easy, if she can handle iron.

 

[darkgunner]

Another great chapter and translation, thank you very very much!!

 

[TrapCard113]

The pacing so far has been wild, all this time talking about the marquisate and it gets speedrun in ~10 pages.

 

[Le_Flemard]

that royal capital looks awfully small.

 

[skeleton637]

Skip the tech tree, straight to air ships!

 

[feha]

how... how do you even manage to overwork all experts in a field through mere simple market-demand? Why did they not simply start limiting their output at what was comfortable, likely raising prices to match, and live cozy lives where they work 2 hours per day and make bank?
Particularly the later ones who saw what was happening and held all the leverage.

 

[Kasik]

Strike first, win first is pocket sand energy.

I kinda like to see one that is realistic scale for once. Medieval cities were actually small.

But she wants a slow life and not be overworked to death, so she will skip all that and head straight to airships.

I am going to guess they were in a huge war against barbarians and was losing in terms of fighting ability, mobility and numbers. Something similar to how Rome lost to the Germanic barbarians in the 3rd century. So they had to resort to alchemy and the sorts in a long 100 yr war.

Yknow, it's kind of refreshing to have a smug brat be the op mc of an isekai manga.

 

[Syanalassa]

Or all were overworked to the point that once the first ones started dying they couldnt change the system fast enough to stop all them dying so a perfect black company system lol

 

[yoshiii]

Lol her banter with the knight seems like an old married couple...

 

[Tds-PdV]

There’s nothing slow about her life so far.

I find it doubtful that an entire highly advanced art (which she describes as "millennia" being too little time to reach middling potion-levels, while in her time they could do much better) would be monopolized by a single nation, and can disappear with it falling. But even if it were monopolized by one, then the alchemists would simply not opt to get overworked to death. They would find greener pastures, emigrating to other countries (again, doubtful noone had already in the entire span of that art) or simply finding other jobs until they can work as an alchemist again without the state forcefully working them to death (and it must have been capital punishments, as otherwise many ppl would simply opt not to work that hard).

Yeah, at the very least, you'd get Black Plague levels of restructuring basic employee rights.

It's not like killing the alchemists will get you more potions.

They weren't invented capitalism yet sadly 😞

If only they have capitalism

 

[Kireato]

Well, that's some skipping. Also, she has no common sense at all which is odd for someone who lived several years as a farmer. She must have thought her village was incredibly backwards but even then, some appliances, if they existed, should make their way to such villages. For instance, if you have wheels made of rubber, you would expect them to also appear.
