I'm just imagining Makoto shooting his bow so quickly it sounds like an A10 warthog. So those two are having a peaceful and meaningful conversation meanwhile the background is just brrrrrrrrt

glad MC is now punishing Tomoe, it took lot of time. she really needs to be corrected💢💢

i dont like that Tomoe is influencing his fellow contractees to not tell their master the whole story. even Mio is now like that when she usually tell everything (excluding the surprise of course).

Tomoe has been the brains and heart of this outfit since chapter fucking 2. In fact, can we just drop Makoto and focus on Tomoe's fake samurai adventures? They're probably more interesting.

This is part of what irks me about this manga. Interesting...except for the MC, who is less interesting than every major character connected to him and even some of those who aren't; the chapters that focus on Tomoe are much more interesting than those with Makoto in focus, consequently--just like the past two. Makoto draws so heavily from the very obviously standardized manga male MC creation guidelines:

・He's an herbivore, chock full of tsukkomi for girls around him...especially the one with long hair, he can't stand her
・He's extremely magically powerful and highly resistant to physical damage without having to do anything at all for it (of course, because of magic)
・He's (heretofore) incapable of direct combat and is characterized as a ranged attacker--with his two main female companions, despite their being characterized as weaker than he is, specializing in direct combat instead (in spite of the previous trait
・In keeping with the previous two traits, his idea of powerfully dealing with formidable opponents is...removing his limiters and throwing a temper tantrum--which conveniently sends his enemies Blasting Off Again™

The one thing that sets Makoto apart from your average MC--which is refreshing, admittedly--is the fact that he isn't a naïve bleeding heart on top of all the aforementioned; he doesn't mind treating people harshly or without mercy when the situation calls for it--and this extends to killing. (Unsurprisingly, the only person I remember him killing was some adventurer-turned-assassin if I recall correctly; and, of course, she was long-haired and had a substantial bust, even if she wasn't all that pretty to exhibit her vicious nature.) The rest of these things--all related to Makoto--are just signs of a mangaka following marching orders without understanding how much it holds his story back.

Difference here is that this manga's better than the average isekai fare--but that's not important in Japan; marching in lockstep with whatever group construct you're a part of is.
