Sleazeball ugly bastard of a spoiled noble appears. There's certainly no shortage of this trope in stories like these.

Milim's character is developing, even by a little. But how about Randall? Still the same old bloke from chapter 1 with just more skills, stats and achievements, but character-wise?

lol The kind of guy who doesn't hear the affectionate words--and those specifically--of a pretty girl whose mouth is no more than three feet away.

It's clear that this is another story that's carried by the likes of Milim; if one didn't have Milim present, would there be a reason to read this manga? What would be the appeal--Randall, in a clumsily written attempt at showing humility, treating the merchant leader Maron's life as being worth less than the reward Randall and Mirim would have received for perserving it, in the previous chapter?

That said Milim herself is an unfortunate character--in the context of design. She's quite charming...as long as she isn't depicted as a flatchest/small-breasted character. The artist appears to have something against large breasts; I've seen at least one attempt on his part to avoid drawing them as such on his Pixiv account. Wouldn't be anything new, as plenty of mangaka are just as averse--and plenty of artists also see such girls as those with them only as inherently vile lustsinks. Thus, she seems to vacillate in design between two states: that of a completely (except for her pantyhose; pants under a skirt is crass, not "proper" as pantyhose is presented as being) beautiful girl or the latest of a design concept with a beyond-stale central concept (exemplified by Mina Tepes of Dance in the Vampire Bund and Rachel Alucard of BlazBlue, and with derivatives in Granblue Fantasy's Vampy and a slightly altered example in Sanzenin Nagi of Hayate no Gotoku). One is hated, and the other is safe--and the safe design appears to have been the original intent of the author.

It'd be just as safe as the average male MC whose effeminate spinelessness is treated in JP manga/LN writing as virtue, so this author's preference to avoid even the roads less traveled should be understood.

Oh, you mean the guy that has requested the presence of the adventurers you're picking a fight with? The one who posted the request to deal with the dragon that they took care of? The one who currently seems to be favoring them?

Tell me how that works out for you.
