Yajin Tensei: Karate Survivor in Another World - Vol. 11 Ch. 70 - So Long as They Don't Target You

[The_Lamb]

NGL, I want the author to commit to the bit and truely guilt his OC. But I can't help but suspect that they will copout and the child will turn out to be a dwarf or midget assassin who used their diminutive stature and youthfull appearance to lower her victims guard.

In the LN, when Yajin gets to Toulon, he goes from zero to most notorious murderer and torturer in about a week, so the manga is really pussyfooting in comparison. Although the LN does have a bit where he doesn't murder a young boy, and afterwards is stressing that he will regret not killing.

I see what happened here. Yajin went so deep into his five senses that he turned his face into a cubist explosion. Never go full cubist, you lose objectivity.

This is such a cliffhanger. We are dangling over If Yajin will get in trouble or not, if the girl was truly an assassin or not, if his guard friend will have his back or not... Intense. Yeah, better flee town asap. Back to the woods!

While killing an innocent would be an interesting direction for the story, it would also require that Yajin’s trust in his senses was significantly misplaced. That’s an extra source of doubt that doesn’t feel too in-place, I’d only really expect it as contrast to the character in question being demonstrably overconfident. I expect best case we see ambiguity as to the girl’s motive, making him shunned by the townsfolk and maybe even persecuted by the guards.

 

[CatLife]

Yeah, Dio incarnate

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[Kaiser92]

That baron may have some skeletons in his closet

 

[NotALewdGuy]

Oh yeah
It's MurderHoboing time

 

[MadlySoldier]

Well Yajin hasn't been doing Murder Hoboing for long time, ig he can now chill for a lil l-

Nvm, back to Murder Hobo Time!

Note: If Yajin is lucky, the "girl" would be someone guilty. If he's unlucky, he gonna be struck with lesson on his reaction being too quick, and have to murder hobo out of town again. Thinking about it, Yajin is truly very unlucky person with how many time he comes across with people either trying to kill, or harm, or use him.

 

[Ironclad]

Didn't he just talk about how important eyesight is?

 

[BitterButter]

ah......... so that's how shit goes down....
It could go either way, tbh: a child collecting poison herbs for the sake of medicine, or an assassin.

 

[RyzenComIntel]

To be fair the knife maybe only for collecting the weed

OBJECTION
Unlikely, the knife was very clean; it would have had traces of dirt on it if it had been used to cut plants, and there was no reason to hold it that way instead of just leaving it in the basket, much less pass it near the guard.
The evidence points to her being one of the murderers.

 

[gasnomercante]

Shame on the kid for being in front of the knife

 

[RyzenComIntel]

Which chapter of the web novel and light novel would this be, and where can I read them?

Indeed. it is not normal to walk around with knife out. you need to put it in the basket or in the pocket.

what if the twist is that she is a monster disguised as a human?

 

[Flostirend]

Poison and poison plants usually smell different. Depending on the poison used it could be an easy discharge or a tricky one. If the knife were coated in poison, it would smell a lot, and the herbs would work as a disguise and alibi.

Not that I expect that it would be so easy to our ill fated hero to get away from this.

He would be like Yajin then, since he's not human but a type of goblin.

 

[SeryjVolk]

The most brutal kill this chapter was Yajin's character assassination. He's not the kind of moron who would throw a dagger purely by smell in broad daylight in a busy public place.

 

[atlas304]

oof, but any xp is good xp

 

[SatouPendragonlvl313]

What if he smelled pharmaceutical properties (i.e. can be refined into a poison) from the plants the girl was carrying...

... I'll guess that he is 100% guilty, but the powers that be in the city will fight to get him on their side to get him in their debt.

adult or child, doesn't matter, an assassin is an assassin and deserve what they get.
