Well, Usain Bolt’s top speed is about 45km/hr, at least for 100m…
Ah right. I was thinking more a speed that you could hold for an hour.
Ok but what about Usain Bolt in plate armour running over cobblestone?
The marathon record is just over 2h, so 20km/h sustained over an hour is very much athlete level.
You know, I can’t seem to find any data on that. Might have to call him and ask him to perform some experiments to rectify that.
Yes that’s why I would have thought that’s the upper limit. But didn’t think about running shorter distances
With or without a red dragon chasing him?

No food inspiration for these chapters so I’m just going to post a random maymay I found online and that I don’t understand:

Loving those dragon chapters, so intense.
Maybe we should also move this club to two chapters/week because these cliffhangers are killing me!
I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks but didn’t dare bring it up! I would be up for that.
i hate to be all ‘guy who’s read this before’ but: hehehehehehe
We could just finish the volume next week
The thing is that these dragons chapter are particularly action-packed and don’t contain much text, which really makes them zoom by quickly. Meanwhile I found that the first chapter of this volume, with all the above-ground politics, was vastly more painful to go through. I think the usual chapters from previous volumes were somewhat in between.
So basically I worry that the current chapters are not really representative of the rest of the manga and we’ll end up with a significantly higher load than expected. And given the number of book clubs I’m in, that worries be a bit
With that in mind:
- Keep the one chapter/week pace as usual.
- Have a one time exception to finish the current volume next week (chapter 26, 27, 28+omake) and take a one week break after that. We’ll reassess the pace later.
- Double the pace to 2 chapters/week from now on.
Ok let’s finish this volume this week then!
I should have posted the poll earlier but if some people lag behind and don’t want to speed up yet we can always opt to have a two week break after that which will maintain the overall pace.
I’ll make the proper post tomorrow.
Chapter 26 AND 27 AND 28 AND omake

There’s a typo on page 120, at least on the BookWalker edition:
助骨 is not a word, but 肋骨 is.
A common typo apparently: http://www.kameari-kumasan.com/blog_detail?actual_object_id=389
Took me a while to see the difference thanks!
It took me a while to understand what went on here because I tried looking for 助骨 and found nothing, but when I wrote my guessed reading of じょこつ then 鋤骨 would pop up in the dictionary which means “vomer (a bone of the skull)” and uses 助 as phonetic component so it seemed promising but in context in the manga it was pretty obvious that they were not anywhere near the head…
