Imagine fist fighting your way into blood-brotherhood with a duke. Conny's father has finally found his spine.

Conny's real talent is forgetting faces.

 

[rluka]

Can understand Connie.
It’s easier to link a name with a role or attributes, rather than a face.
Like, people all look the same. Two eyes, two ears, one mouth, one nose.
Worse if you only met them occasionally.

He must have been inspired by his daughter's recent antics and decided to grow a spine even just a little bit.

I honestly didn’t recognize my roommate after he cut his hair lol

They are from a family of honest knights. Telling a dude off and fighting him is in their blood. They’re just easily tricked

 

[Metalheadzaid]

Pretty clever move of the author to have Scarlet repeat the names of characters because the readers Connie can't remember for shit.

 

[Colomopri]

connie is just like me fr

 

[cheesecakegood]

At work I could always remember customers' orders and exact situation often down to the product, but literally never their name

 

[Angoldd]

Connie's dad is such a chad, that he made a sworn brother by just fighting. Truly a shonen protagonist.

I know I say this almost in every chapter's thread of this manga, but it's a wonderful piece of work. This one and The One Within the Villainess have brought me more excitement and joy that many shonen in the last years.

Thank you for your outstanding work as always, @ginrezis !

 

[Wannieee]

Thank you for the chapter!

It's been working magnificently

Tanks for the food

What a convenient power Scarlet's insane memory is. It serves the author, the audience and Conny...

 

[phoenixir]

Can we talk about how realistic Randolph and Connie falling in love with each other is?
Actually can we talk about Connie finding Randolph's troubled face cute?

 

[jipowap]

Glad she's bad at names and faces
Helps the readers who have too many manga going.

 

[Ironclad]

Didn't this series start with this father getting the family into terrible debt? That part never meshed.

 

[shoker]

Face blind friends unite

He dilapidated their already meager treasury "helping" friends who were in "need". The problem wasn't Conny's father lack of spine, it was his blind adherence to the "be honest on all your dealing" motto the Grail family has. His reasoning being "I made a promise and the honest thing to do is fulfil it even if I was being deceived." Something Conny herself calls out when she defines what "honesty" means to her.

The debt thing was "solved" with the engagement with Randolph. The "fake marriage deal" perk for Conny was paying the Grail House's debts.

Oh, but he did attempt to pay the debt - by selling his daughter as a bride to an upstart from a merchant family. Granted, this is pretty historically accurate. Just not something a person that stresses honesty and responsibility would do, even then. Nothing's really changed with him, he still does whatever his first impulse is with no regard for the consequences. An offended duke could have destroyed his family's lives in so many ways it's hard to even list and it's not like his little act meant anything worth standing for. He could have smiled and let the dude stew in his own nerves, stonewalling him politely.

Totally. He followed his impulses and this time it happened to work out. Which is probably why Conny is upset at the whole thing, and with the added complication that she knows this "engagement' has an expiration date.

It's a funny scene, but from an in-universe perspective it was an insane thing to even entertain the possibility of doing.
