The Lady Knight and the Beast-Eared Child - Vol. 3 Ch. 29 - Day of Departure

[Ixiaz]

Usually i don't want a time skip, but this is an exception. Please let there be a time skip where Mao and Noah is a teenager and they finally meet again. I'm afraid that if the story advancing normally, all the flag she raised got triggered and sometimes later Noah and master will only hear the news about her

Once upon a time I wished for the same in another series. Then I got Usagi Dropped and the resulting development displeased me greatly.

 

[ssecf]

Please stop. Just stay with them forever and let the fluff continue forever. Don't let me experience bad feelings...

While I wish the best for Mao, I'm very much on the Noa/Olivia ship.

You mean that… literally? With the Usagi Drop?

I hope Mao achieves her goal. She has to return to Noah and Olivia.

The time skip in Usagi Drop never happened.

Never. Happened.

Thanks for translation!

A death flag so obvious that a part of you puts reasonable probability in it just being there to be a long-con subversion of expectations but another part of you just knows.

Why is everyone talking about death? Is there something I missed?

 

[xanon]

Mao don't fear no flags, she's got 9 lives! Well, probably down to 6 or 7 by now, but still...

death flags. haven't you seen a movie where a soldier takes a photo of his loving family and talks about how he'll cherish them when he gets home or stuff like that. it's pretty common, and in manga and anime they're more or less tropes.

By talking about conveying her feelings when she sees Noah again, she raised a death flag. It's a common trope where someone will talk about things like going home, what they're going to do when they return, a promise they're going to keep, etc, but they never get the chance because they die. Writers do it to get a more impactful emotional response from the reader/viewer.

However, the people talking about it in this comments section are oblivious to the kind of manga this is. There have been a couple of serious things, but for the most part it's a fluffy slice of life in a fantasy setting. Mao is not going to die.

 

[Sagara-Sousuke]

Couldn't Olivier ask her witch friend about this so the kid wouldn't just wander aimlessly?

"Mao died on the way back to her home planet."
That's it. Mao dies.
Good night everyone!

 

[Mastermind001]

I don't want her to go. They were perfect as a family.

Wait, that's… actually a really good observation. The law of conservation of detail would imply that her witch friend is the witch Mao's looking for.

Oh, it happened!

MC married the boy's mom, Rin brother-zoned the boy and find a nice senpai to date and later get married to, Rin finally calls MC dad on her wedding day, and the cousin ended up with the boy and whipping him into shape.

Happy End.

How else are you suppose to force character development and use the "she got hot over the years" surprise?
