I am getting tired of how the plot keeps getting weaved around in such an unpleasant way. There is writing that allows a mangaka to do this in a way that’s still interesting to the reader, but the way it’s being executed feels so exasperating.
Like??? He hasn’t told anyone yet that he’s still alive. His first group of friends that actually care about him and would risk their lives for him have been agonizing over whether he’ll actually come back. He disappeared after recently being named a hero, so literally the country is in a national crisis. The king is probably getting completely shat on for entrusting the heroic title to someone who would just abandon the country. His master is a complete dumbass. And he still is dumber than a pile of bricks for not knowing his actual strength even after everything that has happened.
This is honestly crazy. Like I wouldn’t believe it if you told me this is what the story would become when chapter 10 released.
Thanks for the translation. I really hope the plot realigns itself soon.
