Zettai ni Hatarakitakunai Dungeon Master ga Damin wo Musaboru made - Vol. 9 Ch. 47 - The Saintess is Here!

[Dosky]

She's perfect for a DP farm.

 

[SoulFyre]

Saintess Aluminum Nickel Hydride is here to play Dark Souls, apparently.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be Alkali Lithium, not aluminium.

....NiMH batteries are common rechargables. Oh my god, the name goes a layer deeper than I thought! She's literally a rechargable battery, every time her charge (life) empties, she just gets recharged (resurrects)!

Alkali and Lithium, along with NiMH make up the three main battery types so I guess the joke is actually that she's a walking DP battery.

 

[Plain3r]

MC's expression at the end though lmfao

 

[screamdoom]

Man, why most manga portray saintess like a prostitute?
Look at them jugs, those should be illegal.

 

[AnotherDuck]

Okay, she's an adorable nutjob.

Her shininess on page 5 is astounding.

The power of Continue. Now that's scary. Well, if she's anywhere close to competent, which I have some doubts about.

I doubt the saint's mental health would last if she keeps dying and reviving too many times.

Last? You're assuming she has something to lose in the first place?

i wouldn't worry about it, she seems really weak, even with her trial and error strategy she wouldn't be able to defeat the monsters, it would take her years of resets to flawlessly get through the dungeon and by then you would have farmed a bunch of points and expanded it further.

If you think about it, she actually should be quite strong. Even if she can trial and error everything, it's pointless to know what's there if she lacks the power to overcome it. She also goes in solo, so she doesn't rely on helpers to bridge that gap. And there's the fact that the dungeon recognizes her strength as being worth 1500DP when she dies.

There's a reason she got offed so fast...which sharp readers might already realize.

Spoiler

Basically, like some dungeon parties, she relies on trap detection skills to avoid traps. However, as a system skill it only recognizes 'real' dungeon traps, that is to say they were generated by the dungeon. However, most of the traps were made 'manually' by Kehma using golems and other ad-hoc means to save on DP....so she can't detect them at all.

You might recall adventurers with rogue type skills are in high demand in dungeon parties in this world, particularly for detecting traps. Anyone can learn those skills using scrolls, but they're extremely expensive, so adventurers need to rely on specialists who trained to get them. But since Alca can't die, the Holy Kingdom can freely invest tons of skill scrolls and other training into her with little risk. She's actually really strong, that's why she can clear dungeons solo.

Oh and as for her competence....(these will be more detailed spoilers so beware)

Spoiler

To be honest, she's got dealt a really bad hand. The wolf is ridiculously strong even for her, so if I recall he basically eats her daily when she comes by to fight. And it's in Kehma's interest to keep her flailing around because she gives quite a lot of DP both passively and when she dies. A mid-tier dungeon like theirs would otherwise be totally fine for her.

On the other hand, after getting stonewalled, she does lose herself quite a bit. She starts spending gold like water to stay at the inn...and she even gets drawn into certain hedonistic pursuits. I guess saints in this world don't take vows of poverty. Of course, it's also the state's gold, not hers.

 

[hahano]

bocchi the saint

 

[Alsomebutnot]

Spooky face

 

[jrocker]

The saintess is definitely going to somehow join his team of dungeon admins after some freak accident

 

[urtoast]

The Alca in the saintess's name is probably alkaline and Ri Chium is lithium. Which makes her name have 3 types of batteries,

 

[Shade]

Saintess Aluminum Nickel Hydride is here to play Dark Souls, apparently.

*Alkali-Lithium Nickel Hydride.
The author probably look at battery and thought, "Hey, that's a cool name."

 

[NARESH4444]

New chapters are nice and all but when are you fixing the old chapters?

They are literally horrendous to try and make sense of.

Bit unfair to exclude Pb from the list of "main" types, don't you think? Though I guess it's OK to exclude it here. After all, she isn't …

Spoiler

the lead character.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Get salted, lol.

 

[Lazyfox]

A small update: from "Alca Lu Ri Chium Nicke Hydride" to "Alka Lu Li Thium Niké Hydride".
Nothing important, but sometimes I feel a need to diverse from official LN translation a bit.

Considering how... dense she is.

Get out. And never come back.

 

[namazuFish]

Really enjoying this series, the saintess is irritating, but like others have said, she could be worse

Nah, religious fanaticism and common-sense-defying indoctrination requires no specific language. For groan-inducing jokes such as mine, you need the wreck of a train carrying homographs and homophones by the bulk-wagonload that is the English one.
