The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom - Ch. 18 - Secret Plan

[ismaelh]

Too bad [...]

At first I was thinking along those lines (which btw I agree 100% on your assessment)... then I just started wondering about the implications of a ritual channeling multiple people's mana to the will of a single person and realized it could be a setup for a magical nuke or the classic cultist summoning of an eldritch being. I hope our saintess thought things through!

 

[BlackElite]

I dont like this idea -~-
We need to get Julius first Philia. You try to solve it by yourself again. That stupid person doesnt deserve your salvation. Peace was never an option for him since this series started -~-

Maybe she unconsciously want to let her sister deliver the justice? I mean, Philia herself has no desire for such thing...

Only 4 days?! I mean I’ve seen lesser time limits but still that’s a tall order

Even with modern cars and road, that's still one tight time limit.

 

[riflow]

I am on the edge of my seat, god this is such a good series.

Thanks for the translation!

It's so smart though to make basically a whisper network of saintesses. If they work this out now and can keep it going it could become something that prevents so much tragedy in the future.

The death flags were flying left and right in this chapter and the one guy who we all dislike didn't even show up in it

 

[PrincessKadath]

I agree with this feeling, but the original Japanese version calls the country Parunakoruta. So technically this translation is somewhere between Pannacotta and Parnacorta.

Fair enough then. I'll grab my torch and pitchfork and blame the original author.

 

[hurafloyd]

By the way, the official translation is wrong. It should be Pannacotta (from the Italian panna cotta dessert).

I wouldnt be able to translate in peace if I had to put "Pannacotta" all the time, that is why I stuck with Parnacotta or I would be morbidly overweight now.

Too bad the saints seem a bit limited in their mathematical abilities. Even if they multiply their resources by 5, or to be generous let's make it an even 10, they are not going to be increasing the size of a purification circle by as much as they think.

Let's assume things in their favour, like that it is not a magical technique that does everything over a circular area, then it is a bit cheaper. Instead we only need to consider a purely 1-dimensional circular circumference. If we are this kind to our math, then yes, the radius is linearly proportional to the circumference. So having 10 times as much resources should lead to 10 times the circumference, which in turn is 10 times the radius. But even then I very much doubt it is enough to cover an entire continent, as the country (the area she covers right now) needs to be a full fifth the size of the continent, OR located in the center in which case it can be a tenth. Which is unlikely.

And that is when stacking everything in their favour. I am fairly sure the purification circle affects the area inside the circle too, meaning the radius is not linearly proportional. And so the radius should be only sqrt(multiplier) larger, which further makes it so the country needs to (approximately) be somewhere between a third to half a third of the entire continent. And if the factor of 10 times more resources (mana) is too high, things further devolve.

I agree with everything you said, but am also 200% certain you just put more thought and logic into it than the author did, so prepare to be disappointed on that front.

You have a point, but you're making an assumption that the power requirements for the barrier are directly proportional to the barrier's size.

It's also possible to assume that there's an initial "investment" to get the barrier to work at all and that the area covered is a smaller additional cost.
For example, the basic barrier could use up 15 000 MP, which is 10 000 for the barrier to work at all, plus 5 000 to extend it over 500 square miles. Meaning it would only cost 10 MP for every square mile added to the protected area.
Let's say they need to triple the radius to cover the whole continent. That means they need nine times the MP for the area : 45 000 MP, plus the initial 10 000.
Philia is a lot above average when it comes to magic power, Grace a little above average, and her sisters somewhere in between (medium above average?). It's not too farfetched that they could supply the extra 40 000 MP needed to extend the area ninefold.

All of this is purely hypothetical, of course.

I know, she is just too benevolent. Well i'm not, imma laugh so hard when Mia deliver justice to stupid brat Julius 😈😈

The main issue will be the pillars that has to be placed directly in the sea though, as it is a purification circle and not a purification polygon.

That's the thing, though. The map clearly showed that the purufication barrier was shaped as a polygon roughly following the country's borders, not a circle. Makes me wonder why it's called a circle, and whether the Japanese word may have been something potentially less circular. The pillars are supposedly what create the barrier, while the one who activates needs to be more centered between them.

Also refer to chapter 7, pages 6-7.
