Urenokori no Dorei Elf o Hirotta no de, Musume ni Suru Koto ni Shita - Ch. 23.1

[Qwormuli]

The ice must break somewhere for this two to actually start having a relationship. She needs to put more signals for his thick skull thou.

On the other hand, he is a hydrocephalic Himbo with capital H, yes. But on the other, I don't think he has it in his headspace to even consider other people caring for him personally. So far his every action (and a bit of his internal monologue at the reunion part) has indicated at him being valued as a lever for something else, pure instrumental value. This is despite him being very personable since a child and so far only having cared for other people (or anything, really) on personal level, while every evaluation he has of other people (even people close to him and to an extent his parents) is how they weigh benefits of bonds as assets. Even in this chapter he hazards on the side of her having a distaste for him purely due to their respective positions mandating that: She's deep in the milieu of the ministry, has expended a lot of time "befriending" him as the contested asset he was to everyone and then he went and became inconvenient to the said ministry, or at least a faction within.

No wonder he felt so disconnected since a kid and was so unrooted to leave the second he was politically ousted from his magical career. I don't think he thought for a second someone outside of his family might miss him personally and not as that one big fish that got away. Even still he thinks his leaving was an inconvenience for his surrounding people, not distressing. That's some seriously shitty way to grow up.

It's true that she needs to up the clarity to get through to him, doubly so if she really hasn't done anything for that yet, as the story even from her perspective seems to allude so far.

Weiss lived in the crime capital of the country for years. He might not be used to expressing his feelings anymore, aside from how he adores his daughter.

Way before that. I'd say he went there due to not having a place to make emotional connection to anyone, instead of losing it there. Dude grew up as an excel sheet to be vied over by power wielding entities. While anything he personally thinks of anyone so far is through personal connection and care, anything he ever considers others extending is an exchange.

His parents actually seemed somewhat deece, I wonder where things went so wrong with him?

"I don't think she even considered that part when she volunteered to be the mom"

This man i swear.

It's going to be really annoying if nothing develops between these two. How long will it be?

 

[UncleKaos]

I think they will be married for real just not right now. I think that the wee lass will tell him that "Why don't you just wed her.. dad?"
and he will realize something for sure.

Bro really gave the shopkeeper the left right haymaker hit "No, I'm HIM. I closed the deal. Wham bam I'm the husband, sam"

Please for the love of god, somebody just fucking snipe this series from this useless group, the way they milk this manga by cutting it up into smaller and smaller pieces is just infuriating...

i used to agree with this statement but come to realize the raws/japanese version are also split into halfs my guess is to make the japanese reader come back

 

[radstylix]

They're both fucking dense or stubborn, and I love it.

 

[Darkshade13]

Please back off the stupid "she'd be much better without the glasses and braids" junk. She's cute the way she is and I'm sick of every slightly different looking heroine being reduced to "has to be the same generic moe-blob nothing character as every other heroine otherwise people won't recognize she's supposed to be cute"

 

[horsewithnoname]

She has a point. Who knows when he'll suddenly disappear again?

I'm of the opposite opinion.. she's more tsun than dere and mc has a lot on his plate when he's young. Of course he went and gone the first opportunity to better his issues. In mc's eyes they're acquaintances at best, he even believe she hates him a bit even to this day. Commitment only works when you've made sure you're all on the same page. Expecting commitment without communications is selfish, and a bit delulu.

Plow her already.

I'm gonna freaking KILL THIS GUY

 

[Luke_chase]

Yea the raw was in parts like this too, a lot of manga nowadays are like this, just a bit of googling would have gotten you informed, bro woke up and chose to embarrass himself on the internet for 0 reason btw

When the commenters are as dense as the mc

To be fair, she didn't see any of his either, even that helicopter parent from before noticed them both hovering around each other.

Where did the whole thing of wearing glasses equals ugly come from? Because someone wearing glasses can be very sexy.

It's not that they make her ugly, it's that they cover her face and people don't look past them to see her beauty, except for Medici but she's just been holding onto a grudge for almost twenty years.

It's actually a necessity for weekly magazines and weekly release web publishers to have continuous titles. They can either rotate titles and have different content each week, or they can split the chapters up and have the same titles, week after week. They tend to choose the latter.

In the 90s to 00s era, if you wear glasses, you're a nerd. And nerds are NOT sexy. The sexy ones are hot dudes and/or babes with 20/20 vision.

But fashion trends change, and by way of having a lot of nerds grow up and dominate the online space, glasses are now cute and sexy.

Goes further back than that, 60s to 80s had people with glasses being referred to as squares/nerds/narcs, the Revenge of the Nerds movies in the 80s turned nerds into perverts, to shake off the ugly/unattractive label. In the 90s glasses were normal finally, you had attractive and even successful people wearing glasses. It's in the 00s to now when the old boomers took over media, and are trying to throwback trends like that.

Reading comprehension is low, I see. He doesn't think that she'd be cuter without the glasses and braids; he thinks that other guys would find her attractive without the glasses and braids, and that's surely the reason why she isn't buried under a mountain of suitors already.
