Unnamed Memory - Vol. 9 Ch. 54 - A Child with an Open Mind (1)

[MangaDex]

 

[MagnaDrake]

I guess it should have ended the previous chapter.

 

[Dzrian]

Come on Tinasha stop dragging

 

[Debug23]

Seeing that Tinasha didn’t completely flip to marriage makes more sense than her actually doing so, but it still feels a bit goofy that she decided to take the plunge for sex and lose power while still not deciding to be with him completely. I suppose that’s just her falling the most she can without having a child. But with this reveal that a child between her and Oscar could become a witch justifies her current apprehensiveness to commit, albeit it doesn’t justify her having sex anyways. While the biggest concern would be that this child witch be destructive, another concern that Tinasha herself knows quite well is that her child could end up becoming very lonely due to their immortality, which overall adds a nice layer of complexity. In the end, this is a decent development which while does lengthen the story quite conveniently, it is still satisfactory enough to continue the series.

ok so no marriage (for now), a possible reintroduction for the assassin, and a potential to introduce new characters if this develops

 

[Zhangar]

Tinasha: We might accidentally produce a god-queen.
Oscar: That sounds awesome, actually.

Edit: I would assume Tinasha has the magic to simply prevent a pregnancy, until she agrees to allow it.

 

[Iskarioth]

What a cop-out. If her making that decision at least had severe consequences on her magic it would spice up the story instead the premise just gets thrown out of the window for a shallow sappy romance. The story is progressing like a wet fart.

 

[kosaya]

Have they properly defined what differentiates a witch from an ordinary mage? Aside from lifespan...

 

[Kageura002]

Since Yenpress doesn't take After Story. I don't really know they already have a child or not.

Magical power and mana capacity I'm betting

It was never fully explained what it means to be a "witch", so far it just seems like something tremendously skilled female spellcasters are called. It was however stated, that the immortality is not part of it - the FMC clearly said she was using her power to halt her aging. Meaning, it's purely voluntary to live like that and she used it to get revenge on the magic kingdom's ruler when he resurfaced. Besides, since Oscar's power could be sealed, there should be no reason the child's couldn't be similarily, if that's such a concern.

not sure if it needed, but one this is her not aging, and another is her being immortal, she remembers being open alive before turning into a witch.
there's also the thing with Oscar once getting his magic power released could live longer too, to not let Tinasha be alone and have more time to teach their future kid to learn the Uncle Ben lessons

 

[mattteocastro]

Thanks for the translation but ngl both of them piss me off sometimes

Her sleeping with him seems to me like a spur-of-the-moment decision, so it makes sense that she didn't think to much about it.
On the kid's part, she might have a way to prevent herself from becoming pregnant, but if she is his wife, she has to have a kid.
The will, the won't—they can only go on for so long so i like that the story has a new conflict.

Chapter 33 clearly states the guys that did this kept her alive throughout the process, it has nothing to do with any supposed immortality and it wasn't due to this that she became a witch (whatever that means). It's not like it was ever even implied that she can't die, why would you think that?

I remember reading loooong ago that she was immortal

Spoiler: spoiler from the sequel

Spoiler

it kinda actually happens later and oscar too

, I totally forgot that they were making her be awake during the ritual (that event was what made her a witch though), so my bad there. And besides Oscar's weapon (Akashia for being anti-magic sword), Tinasha doesn't have many weakness to note, as she pretty much regen from that ritual and cured herself from the deadly poison (with help from Lucrezia), so that's why I considered her that she was immortal, which was my mistake.

[...] (that event was what made her a witch though), so my bad there.

Again, what does that even mean? The whole point of the ritual was that she was already incredibly powerful and some of that power was stolen from her through that. Does the novel actually assign some special meaning to the term "witch" other than the obvious "skilled female spellcaster"?

It's fine, I'm not seeking apologies or anything. Just couldn't understand what made you think that when the manga already had scenarios in which her life was in danger.

in the chapter you mention (33), Lucrezia explains that they used her guts and blood to summon magical power, it wasn't only hers or maybe it was her potential power, I would say it's kinda different as they use the word summoned magical power and not summon all her magical power in the ritual.
Also a witch is not only a skilled female spellcaster, if not myrallis would have been considered one (the one woman that ended without her soul after fighting Oscar and Tinasha). They also need to have a stuuuuupidly big amount of magical power, prolly why Lucrezia mentions that after the ritual, Tinasha trying to absorb most of the power released from the ritual and make it hers she turned into a witch, not since birth (which Lucrezia also mentions way back a little after her first appearance).

we saw her getting badly injured by the unsealed magical beast, and that she aged because of it, by making her body fast recover from those injuries. And her getting her eye hurt and recover anyways, and she her living for over 400 years, plus knowing Lucrezia has lived far longer and the Silent Witch being someone that has lived for even longer, normally not dying from old age (as they control that with magic) plus having strong self regen is easily confused with immortality (like the homunculi in FMA). This time is not apologizing, just explaining what was my reasoning (in which I was wrong haha).
