They Only Remembered Her - Vol. 1 Ch. 28

[MoeMoeKyun]

Hot take. I don’t want her to end up with any of them (from what I’ve seen so far). They’re all pushy, selfish and/or annoying and think they know what’s best for Clarence without even asking or questioning what she might want.

I hope she ends up freely travelling the world and/ or settling down somewhere of her choosing (you know whatever SHE wants to do). And if she absolutely has to find love, since I guess it’s still kind of a romance story, I hope it’s with someone new.

It's okay, he realized he was only venting his anger, let's give him chance.


Foreigners who? the ones caught by MC and the knight-character?

 

[Aria321]

Thanks for the chapter. =)

 

[luca17]

Philip Wilkins is such a gentleman.. 😍😍😍😍😆😆😆 thank you!

 

[yuchiyo]

Are the foreigners important?

 

[Lemongrassv]

Hm. Feel like there's more options than that.

That's just me tho.

 

[Akera93]

Who are the foreigners?

 

[dementedcockroachondrugs]

Foreigner?? who what where?

 

[words]

What the actual f**k?

Who are the „foreigners“? What‘s up with only having two options? This story quickly loses its promise...

 

[ohtasty]

bro leave her alone

 

[Ejderha]

the red head dude: should we deport them or behead them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[MeiraEve]

@icekatze :

>>If Wilkins thinks she'll be happier in the capitol, I daresay that Wilkins is the one who doesn't understand who Clarence is. Makes me suspect he loves the idea of her more than he loves her.

He was REFLECTING, both about his desire for Clarence to return to capital, and about his supposed 'two faced' moment with Clive afterward.
Not to mention your 'Clive argues the point' is in reply to Wilkin saying "That's Knight Houlton's decision", i.e. he doesn't/won't force the decision on her even if he personally think it's better.
If Clive want to argue against that...well, isn't that more of a red flag on him? (possessive yandere trait)
Are you sure you're not being biased against him?
Yes he came here with the intent/desire of bringing Clarence back, but the more he sees her being free like this the more he's doubting himself.
That's pretty much the whole point, story-wise, to his presence here. To see, to doubt, to change.

This arc will probably ends with him still asking her to return to capital but in a less serious tone and more of "won't you drop by for a visit some time?"

>I definitely remember her turning down the benefits and prestige that comes with being a war hero.
Even without the rewards, at least people will treat her with respect he thinks she deserved.

...this redheaded dude is extreme. Why are deportation and execution the only two options? I'd order an investigation. All his subordinate reported were rumors, not verified facts.

@WhimsiCat
I'm not sure I'm not biased against him. I already didn't like him from the party, when Clarence had to plead for him to stop choking someone for saying unpleasant words to her, and treating her like she couldn't handle herself.
(Clive said "she won't go back," he never said, "I won't let her go back." He's her brother, he's not trying to woo her out of self interest. He goes so far as to try solving his problems himself without relying on his sister who could easily do it for him.)

@icekatze :
>Clive said "she won't go back," he never said, "I won't let her go back."
And ain't that the irony, that you dislike Wilkin for trying to decide what Clarence should do, and here you are defending Clive for making a decision for her?
Him wanting her to remain IS out of his self-interest, it just happens to coincide with what she decided to do.
If Clive don't want Clarence to be treated badly and also stay with her, they could've just both move to the capital.

 

[icekatze]

@WhimsiCat
Clive isn't making the decision for her, he's supporting her decision. It seems to me like there is a difference between those two acts. He ain't perfect, but he isn't trying to make her fail in her goal.

 

[WhimsiCat]

@icekatze : Her 'goal' is to be with him, the location doesn't matter. So him refusing to let her go to capital is basically just jealousy on his own side, much like Wilkins making that comment out of his jealousy of him.

Or do you think if Clive decided to accept that girl's demand to go to capital with her, Clarence would simply go "ok have a nice trip" and remain here?

 

[icekatze]

@WhimsiCat
It seems we have a different understanding of what her goals are. It seems to me that her goal was to retire from the army, avoid being renowned as someone who killed many people, and live a simple life.

In chapter 4, we get a memory of her being disgusted at receiving money for killing people. In chapter 6, we find out that she came back to her hometown without the expectation of living with Clive, as she worries about whether or not she's worthy of seeing him.

I couldn't say what she would do if Clive was taken off to the capital, but it was enough for her to merely send money to him for 16 years. She certainly has the capability to live separately from him, if need be.

@MoeMoeKyun Out of all the ML's we've seen so far, I think white-hair mage dude is the best. My first impression of him wasn't good, because he seemed really angry and possessive, but when we got the context of "you need to get magic check-ups so you don't fucking die, you self-sacrificial idiot" then it makes more sense (and also when we got the context of him just being Bad At Emotions, but still trying). He comes by, he sees her, makes sure she's not gonna die, tells her to visit the capital in six months for a checkup and to visit her father figure, and then heads back. No judgements on her life choices, just nagging about her life-threatening health condition. Of course, you could say that he's judging her choices regarding her own health, but, like, I think that's a reasonable kind of thing to do for someone you care about? I don't necessarily want him to end up with her romantically, but I'd be fine if that's where the story goes

I'm lowkey still rooting for the maid, Anna, but a new person would be nice too. Or no one at all, and Clarence and Clive can go traveling to make up for all the years they couldn't spend time together. What kind of person do you think would be good for Clarence, if you were gonna make a character to put in the story as her love interest? I think it'd be nice to have someone who could support Clarence emotionally, but not really physically. All the MLs seem to be able to keep up with her on the battlefield, but wow are they bad at emotions and emotional support. None of them seem to be naturally nurturing, so Clarence ends up feeling bad when they fuss over her. If she got a love interest who generally takes care of people, then maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty about the care and attention. And if it was someone who wasn't good at fighting, then she'd be the one saving them, and not the other way around

I think one of the problems with the existing MLs is that we don't get to see the development of their relationships with Clarence. We don't get to see a give and take of her helping them, them helping her. We hear about the things she's done for them, but we only see the things they do for her, which makes it seem more like they don't think she's capable on her own. It doesn't feel like a partnership, I guess is what I'm saying. I hope that the story will have more times where she's actively helping them out, to make things seem more even
