Chapter 36

Start Date: 2025-05-30T15:00:00Z

Damn it we finally get a dish-named chapter but I can’t find vegetarian みりん干し recipes online. If I had noticed ahead of time I would have made some myself.

And here’s me, thinking that at least one of my difficult book clubs will have a break this week: :melting_face:

Oh, I didn’t remember if we made breaks or not. Sorry about that.

  • Have a break (no new chapter next week)
  • CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP

I think we had them :thinking: I’m actually not against the idea of no breaks, I just wasn’t prepared. I need to read mooore

I guess since we discussed the pace last time and decided to return to 1chapter/week, I also thought it made sense to not take breaks.

So, I had time this weekend, so I have started vol. 6 :saluting_face:

Fun chapter, I enjoyed all the character interactions.

The reveal of Falin is quite shocking, I wasn’t expecting that.

I didn’t get the thing with the portraits on page 24 at all.

Chapter 36

I’m pretty sure they’re portraits of Shuro’s family line, with Shuro’s grandfather on the right, his father next, and himself in the third position, the purpose being to establish the family’s naming scheme - specifically, that each man shares a kanji with his father (and presumably the other comes from the mother). Which leads us to the fourth panel, a hypothetical offspring of Falin and Shuro. Painted in a Western art style.

But yeah, why the joke appears in this format, and why it’s so abruptly inserted into the conversation, I have no idea.

Aaah, okay. I re-read the page leading to that like 4 times trying to figure out what I was missing…

By the way at some point the mishmash of Japanese cultural references and stereotypes in what was until now mostly a Western-style fantasy setting got me thinking “damn, that’s a bit much isn’t it? Feels a bit disrespectful almost”. And then I remembered that I was reading a Japanese manga.

Those Japanese people. Constantly appropriating Japanese culture…

Chapter 36

Not completely related to this chapter actually. Don’t remember if it was explained before, I wonder why do parties come to this dungeon? Like, Laois’ came (back) to revive Falin, but otherwise, why do they come in the first place? The rewards? Killing the red dragon?
I didn’t understand everything once again. I noticed the common kanji in the names but that’s it, thanks for explaining @Belthazar (is your mom Belle and your dad Balthazar btw?)

Because whoever defeats the 魔術師 inherits the 黄金の国:

Ah thanks!

By the way one thing that confuses me a bit is that, in this introduction page, I assumed the hooded figure to be the 魔術師. As far as I’m concerned it looks like an old wizard but we now know that it’s in fact that fairly young-looking elf we met last volume? Or are those different characters?

3 Likes

We do? I have no idea, didn’t think they were the same. The young-looking elf has been around for a while (during the king’s time and so on) and is very fishy but I don’t know that it’s the 魔術師 (but then again I could have missed it, I don’t understand much)

Maybe it’s just Raios making the mistake and I shouldn’t believe him?

Oh, I missed that. No excuse, I even consciously read it during the day rather than in the evening when I’m tired and have a hard time focusing :melting_face:

I love his condescending, shit-eating grin so much.
