That was a half chapter? Huh, felt like a full one.

Thanks for the scanlation!

Worse, it was 20 percent of a chapter. There was 4.1 to 4.4 to precede it.

I really think Japanese creators need to stop this 'partial chapter nonsense' and just call each of their releases a chapter. The partial chapter thing has gotten out of hand..

I believe this is the fifteenth partial chapter release of this series. To my mind, it would be better for them to just call this 'chapter 15' instead of 'chapter 4.5'.

Honestly makes more sense than what it originally was pointed towards but like... still feels kinda iffy?

The working man has some questions to anwser, since an entire population is literally starving. Either there's some ungodly amount of price gouging going on (and we're talking about simple produce) or there's not enough food production in the first place.

Going by her opening times, her shop's open 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, making far less hours and pay on part-time than normal, but I don't know how shops/markets usually do business in prehistoric settings. Even at those hours, though, she'll likely get sold out every time she opens, so any produce that the people didn't get the chance to get can either wait or go to another stall for what they need.

Idk, unless the other workers in the industry are scummy bitches, it should be a pretty balanced work environment that's to Alm's comfort.

No, not really.

Man, a bit of a silly development but nice all the same. This manga keeps giving this old school feel to me that I've missed. Thank you for another slice!

Well, that's a good question. There are numerous reasons for why the crops wouldn't grow as well as everyone's hoping and being the reason why general populace is starving, might be just outdated farming methods and tools to blame.

Inadaquate tools and techniques are only that when compared to something superior - whatever they are using you'd expect to be sufficient to provide for the majority of the population, because the population itself would grow only to a certain point around that.

Even if they are in the middle of a famine due to failed harvests or an unexpected people influx (like war refugees), there seems to be something very wrong with that country. This kind of thing should be on the authorities mind, especially those princes that claim wanting to change the country for everyone's benefit...

In any case, the girl's shop should not put anyone out of business, though it might lighten some purses if it is some kind of scheme to corner the market.
