peak is indeed back

Spicy meatball delivered.


Here's waiting for some other elf to actually date her and turns out she is twice her human age or even well into the hundreds.

Just a reminder, just because the average age of past was way lower, doesn't mean people didn't live to a ripe old age. The statistics are skewed heavily by high infant and child mortality rates. Still, with lack of proper medical understanding and even less access to whatever medicine, any bad wound could lead to your deaths. But even then, you had soldiers live through quite horrible shit and live to a relatively or actually old age.
Much of that anyhow is mooted, due to magic. The common cause of death is infection, be it a disease or due to an injury and both of those can be waved away with magic spells or herbs in fantasy. Therefore, lifespans in fantasy settings, violence aside, would approach modern times, unless magic and magic herbs are rare and hard to access, which rarely is the case.

I saw a claim on a history show that if you made it to ten, then the odds were extremely high that you would make it to fifty. And that the primary cause of death between those ages was complications of childbirth, so it skewed even higher for men.

Haruka's look of "That's all ya got?" before the fire arrow...

 

[Equilibrium]

What a waste, she just snaps her finger and destroys everything.
God forbid actions would have consequences.

Don't think I didn't notice that little blush when the childhood friend girl jumped you. It would be hugely ironic if she doesn't end up with the generic dude, wouldn't it

I do think it's interesting Haruka got briefly depressed about it being "proven" she is a creepy old man...

... Only to be referred to in passing as one of the "youngsters" by the older guardsmen.

TBH I liked this part a lot because in a way it's the author effectively establishing that Haruka is mistaken. That the "old man" stuff is not to be taken at surface level, but her holding herself back from enjoying what fate has given her. That's how I'd already been interpreting this story thus far but it's nice to get what is basically a narrative nod.

 

[DanJADO]

She is an elf. Unless elves in that world are just like another human phenotype I can't make sense of WHY everyone just treats her like a regular young woman.

PG 7
"The wolf is running away"

Should be:
"The wolves are running away"

 

[AncientWatcher]

Brutal murder achieved! There goes some of the better cuts of the wolf meat.

 

[Thorn14]

It does have to be concerning when you find out with no effort on your own you're at a level above everyone else to the point it's creepy. I hope they explain WHY though. Probably has to do with the Isekai factor. I'd hate for it to just be "They simply are."

 

[Dekker]

Added to my reading list, thanks for all the chapters so far! Keep up the great work!

 

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

It is really nice to find these character driven isekais, where you have all the tropes, but it is the people who are interesting!

 

[eviljackspicer]

Really wanted elf san to backhand the bowl cut twin retards

 

[GuildMasterJin]

lmao panicked wolf is pretty good🤣

 

[Zhangar]

It'll always be odd to me that characters in manga respond to displays of great power with disgust and not with the awe/admiration that would actually happen.
