Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu - Ch. 101 - Case Closed

[sotokouya]

dammit, at least from the manga they didn't show that, now for sure gonna had to reread the wn at that part. (unless she mentions it in another point 🤔), thanks pal

i kinda remembered at least a panel that shown both flirting while asking if he's done with the whole thing

Wonder who her friend in the guild is? Aside from the competent stooge party, and they were from that other town originally to boot, I don't recall any characters being adventurers or guild staff. Maybe the receptionist.

It was only mentioned once before, but she is a daughter of another company, she's the only one who stayed their friends in Tsige after they fell into the curse. She works as a receptionist in the adventurer guild.

In the wn she only appears much later, but she is (one of?) the founder of the idol job after one of Kuzunoha's idle talk with Rembrandt(a lot of new ideas in Tsige is actually came from this, one of them is bento which already makes an appearance in the manga).

re: the curse, Rembrandt & Lisa (& Morris, and really, Morris over Lisa unless he had confirmed Lisa was actually in on it) were valid targets, the kids being pulled in was just revenge over justice, as they had nothing to do with it (weren't alive then for one). Problem with eye for an eye type of justice/vengeance with things like "you took my love, I'll take yours" is often the 'yours' target is innocent and you lose any hold on the 'high ground'.

I got reminded of it so this world is incredibly ruthless, huh? Kid just saw a man get bisected but what about that lunch appointment? Makoto is really the odd guy out.

 

[Omeganx]

i thought Rembrandt was going to be undercover enemy but that never came to be

 

[stilgar]

like what?, for like 20+ chapters now it has almost only been people talking to each other in the same room and when there is "conflict" it is resolved in the same chapter or on the very start of the next one, like this one. (srsly, you can count with one hand the times a fight, that isn't training, has happened in the last 20+ chapters...)

Oh, I get it, you are one of those people who only want to see action and anything else you get uncomfortable with because it makes your brain hurt

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[avefenixflames]

just when I thought some action was finally happening

Me wanting action? what was your first clue?

Oh, I get it, you are one of those people who only want to see action and anything else you get uncomfortable with because it makes your brain hurt

I mean it took you this long to realize that I was talking about action, so I wouldn't try to judge other people's brain if I were you lol

This story goes from extremely ruthless to lighthearted and cute so quickly that the whiplash makes me forget just how bloodstained many of the characters' hands are - it's honestly impressive.
Anyway, tiny dragon best dragon; she deserves the love!
Thanks for the translations!

Inb4 it's the adventurer-bitch who caused chaos in the pocket world.


There really is little to no point in the overly evil backstory for him. It hasn't come to play since and seemed to just be another hammering of "hyumans are bloody evil even when 'decent' appearing". Could've easily had him be a two faced rutheless business man, without having his backstory be that rutheless. Big difference between shady dealings and hostile take overs and his non-stop killing spree, not to mention the seduction murder frame-job that got his family cursed.

Easily could've had him Scrooge rutheless, but instead we got Flintheart.

Earlier in the story, they mentioned that Yuno & Sif are friends with the Batoma daughter who works at the guild. I don't think they show who it was.

What he represents is that Makoto only understands good and evil in terms of how people treat him and his subordinates. Rembrant and Luto are both very obviously evil but Makoto considers them friends because they're nice to him. In Rembrant's case Tomoe is hiding Rembrant's crimes from Makoto so he doesn't feel bad.(According to the LN vol 2 bonus chapter).

Komoe is so cute and have such cool side too!
Rinon got big too.

 

[zerio]

What is that Golgo thing?

 

[Pallington]

Rembrandt's personality comes up again in the WN. Not the backstory, but the personality absolutely.
But that's chapter 350+-400+ shenanigans.

The series primary focus is not fighting. If that's all you can tolerate, give up now. There are fights, but that's in prep or as a final nail to (effectively) political maneuvering.

But multinationals do literally kill, maim, and poison people on the regular. Depending on the specific case, sometimes even all three, with intent (arms corpos, oil corpos).

LN Source: I've been reading the official English LN. And I have a few impressions from them:
1. Hibiki is clearly more problematic from the start. In the manga and the anime she's presented pretty benevolently. She's only a little cocksure due to her past life of "no effort success". Vs. the LN there's a flavor of "arrogance of nobility" from the start. Also LN clearly states that she's been given a "Charisma" ability. Manga Hibiki has humility and guilt in failure; I don't think that LN Hibiki does (or at least not much).
2. If feels like the author is familiar with overly aggressive, borderline criminal business behavior from the start -- and takes it as the expected norm. Like she grew up in and worked in such an environment and views it as normal business.

With that in mind, it seems like the manga reduces the ruthlessness somewhat (e.g. with Hibiki) and the anime reduces it much more (by removing Rembrandt's backstory).

Rembrandt hasn't changed AFAICT -- rather he just doesn't need to be as criminally ruthless as he was in the past -- and instead is just "normally" business ruthless. (Well actually, he's still borderline criminally ruthless.)

So, I don't think that he's on any redemption arc, nor does he see any need to be on one. The only reason he treats Makoto well is that Makoto saved his beloved wife and daughters.

Aside from the author's personal views, there's a general difference in Japanese ethos. Western ethos is very much "responsibility/culpability for one's choices" and, very closely related to that, a strong sense of justice. Vs. Japanese seems to have much less personal responsibility, and a seeming cluelessness about what (western) justice is.

I mean at scale, being ruthless asshole IS normal business.

Don't ask what United Fruit Company (Dole) was doing in LATAM, or what the various oil corpos are doing now RIGHT NOW.

Rembrandt being a ginormous asshole to become a large corpo owner is like, one of the most realistic things in this entire series.
