Yajin Tensei: Karate Survivor in Another World - Vol. 10 Ch. 66 - At the End of the Fierce Battle

[ksen]

Having fun and drinking with noble? Doesn't bode well.

 

[Doomer]

i don't trust him for a second, everyone he meets even if nice to him turns around and stabs him in the back, fat grumpy guard noble will be no different.

 

[outinthegardener]

This noble is pulling a fast one. 2-1 says he sends goons to steal the mirage fox while Yajin is drinking. 3-1 says Emma is hurt or murdered in the act. 5-1 says Puppy gets kidnapped (again.) And 10-1 odds say Yajin wakes up married to the Baron's daughter and he's enlisted with the guard.

 

[Kireato]

I think you read things wrong. It doesn't say that the fox gives self healing, it's the armor that they're making for him will get an enchant that self repairs. The fox is a high value material and that it can cover the cost for enchanting his armor that's being made for him.

Well, that's probably correct, but it was ambiguously phrased and the context really didn't help. Since "it", the subject in the previous sentence referred to the material, and the next sentence did not introduce anything else regarding "it", I thought it was continuing to refer to the materials. Moreover, they brought, out of the blue, the information that "it" would allow the enchantment of self-healing on the armour. However, they never discussed that enchantment before, so why bring it up specifically? Why not enchantments of extra hardness or resistance to magic or anything else that could be enabled if "it" in that sentence instead just referred to the large amount of rewards that could be generated from the material? We had been introduced before to the concept that some monster material came with special properties so I thought perhaps that enchantment was specifically enabled by the mirage fox material.

But yeah, it definitely makes more sense, considering how willing he is to process the material and sell it off for gold, that he just needs lots of gold to get that enchantment. I also thought it was weird that mirage fox material would be specifically linked to enchantment of self-healing rather than extra stealth or something.

I don't know why he wants to get the workshop to make the mirage fox material into a tippet though. Sure, he might be able to profit more by selling the finished good rather than just the material, but if he's the one in possession of the material, rather than the lord of the city, then a third party stealing the material from the workshop, or the workshop just selling off the finished product instead of returning it to him so that he can sell it, or just various powerful people deciding that he should hand it over so that they can present it to the lord, all become possibilities because he lacks power since he doesn't have anyone backing him.

Well, we'll see what happens.

 

[Knighto]

daaamn, did we just get a full feel good chapter for Yajin, I was getting happy for him
the rest of the comments: someone gonna die or shit hits the fan ... goddammit you're right
I couldn't even be happy for the MC for a day hahaha

 

[Werebearguy]

It makes me laugh every time Puppy is named. Poor little fella is named like a dog when it's clearly a cat. Silliness aside though, seeing Yajin get shitfaced and enjoying himself is satisfying. Guy needs more calm times to make up for all the horrible experiences he's had to endure back to back.

 

[Hauberk1800]

Knowing this manga MC got shitfaced and the noble got someone to steal the fox and kick a puppy on the way out.

Accurate af

Thanks for the tl

 

[Veruschka]

He is going to be screwed again isnt it

 

[UncleKaos]

At least that noble was a nice guy even he may screw him over. to drink together and be jolly is something MC REALLY needs for once. so it is nice to see he can breath alittle.

 

[HDMI1]

So what happened to the second, bigger Mirage Fox? The one he brought back was the first one he killed, wasn't it?

 

[banjomarx]

Nobody died in this chapter

nobody died THAT WE NOTICED!

 

[Eukene]

Hang on, why is there is a stat window and levels in this story? I thought it was a story about random people trying to screw over a feudal hobo. /s

Also Yajin you have your girl back in the starter town. You can't be getting involved with every hot blacksmith you come across.

Well, we'll see what happens.

He's also in a position where various factions are basically going "Join us or die" AND he's a secret fugitive from abroad. If he can get a noble house to cover for him, it would improve his situation dramatically. His instincts were to flee the town and he's only staying because of how OP the armor will be + sunk cost thinking.

Money would be good too as he spent most of his money on the armor, but now his armor is already paid for. More money isn't strictly necessary since, if he gets the armor, he can go survive in the wilderness and rebuild his finances. He would likely flee with the pelt if all he had to gain was money, as he can try to sell it later.

 

[bkre]

we, the audience, are more traumatized than Yajin lmao

The Japanese is equally ambiguous to me, I didn't try to put any spin on the conversations. My assumption had been that the 'component' used for enchanting Yajin's equipment can be removed without damaging the pelt. But it does seem logical for it to be sold for the money, or to curry favour with the lord. And as always with Yajin Tensei, there are also some jumps in time between pages that aren't always spelled out.

 

[broadsword80]

Doesn't Yajin's status as a monster cause people to naturally be on guard against him?

Maybe them being drunk might actually work out in his favor.

 

[vedrit]

It was a jolly chapter, that means someone dies in the next.

Multiple someones, to make up for lost time

 

[sanctuary]

In this episode: Trade Negotiations!

Happy Paganmas to everyone, I hope you all remembered to hang the skulls of your enemies on a post outside on the 21st, to honour Wotan and Herne.

Anyways, chances are this noble will die soon after someone more ruthless takes notice of our goblin and his pet.

 

[Eukene]

I went and reread. The "it" chapter chapter is certainly referring to the mirage fox - ie the tiny one we know is a child now. After finding out the child fox corpse can add self repair to armor, he immediately runs back out to the forest to retrieve it while thinking about how self repair would be incredibly valuable. He was planning to use it for the enchantment.

He then gets attacked by the adult mirage fox, which can be used to recreate the rare fur scarf shown on page 7:

https://mangadex.org/chapter/9e8b8159-15ab-45f5-9eac-c00082868a49/7

The child fox never could have been used to recreate the scarf, though Yajin didn't necessarily know that since he didn't get to see the image of the original. Going through the noble now that the scarf can be recreated in full makes sense, anyway. If the child fox could have (maybe still can, if he finds it) been used for the enchantment, it's possible the fox's heart is used for the enchantment or something like that. The part for the enchantment could be a part that's not needed in the fur scarf. Therefore, which of the three he's trying to do could be "all of the above."

 

[Luke_chase]

His heart and his liver stolen in the same chapter

 

[NoctisF]

No way Yajin finally getting a time to actually smile and be happy with the locals without aggroing every single person in town. I can't believe it!
