Let me guess ... This young one is a blacksmith or a apprentice and he gonna be the mc rival or some shits until he join him ? I don't expect anything else honestly.

 

[Doodert]

Oh look, someone new for the dumbdumb to exploit..

Why are we checking back in on the douchebag?

Because that's all that these sorts of stories know how to do. Originality is overrated when you can just tick the boxes on the checklist.

The small kid probably is a fan of Makina, and most like his semi-apprentice who learned a lot from him while he was still with the old guild.
Time for child labor.

 

[pikonyanko]

Actually that kid is...

Spoiler

remnant from the organisation that is destroyed by one of the mc party member (its mentioned in the prev chapter by the one that looks like elizabeth from hololive)
He's a good kid that accidentally fall into bad group with ridiculous stealing skill (make me flabbergasted when i read on the WN )
The doofus coerced him to join his revenge by mentioning MC is the one responsible for destryoing the organisation

Well, he'll join the party only at the end of the arc tough

Why are we checking back in on the douchebag?

Because it's mandatory in this paint-by-numbers Trope Train.

Honestly... did you expect anything else?
