A Mind Games Expert>she sees your dick
>>288450396>fucker survived that stabLucky bastard and/or sloppy Elio, very sloppy.
>>288450432
>>288450451
>>288450470DID she help Siasha before with something?
>>288450506BIG Lightning MOUTH
>>288450534I neither confirm nor deny!
>>288450566
>>288450451Damn. My pure Zig has become corrupted by organized crime...
>>288450589DUMB dark elf
>>288450636Wh-Why's Vanno's shirt collar a brand of sacrifice?
>>288450534Cute gossipy elf! CUTE!
>>288450679FOR SHE IS NO MAN
>>288450715Hey, that cigar still looked salvageable!
>>288450750
>>288450715>>288450750I quite like the underworld politics side of this stuff, but it is funny they're all worrying about power struggles when Zigg and Siasha could roll any of these groups as a duo if they really wanted to.
>>288450782>she KNEELS
Sex with Isana
>>288450819I'm surprised she isn't itching for a rematch, and/or is humble enough to sacrifice some rep here to make up for her blabbing.
>>288450636Crestfallen Isana a cute. Even her ears are drooping.
>>288450890The way to a merc's heart is through his wallet
>>288450926
>>288450914She's more expressive in this chapter than she has been in most of the manga.
>>288450953
>>288450973The little fella liquefied a lot of organs, but we sorted it out.
>>288450790It's done pretty well too. Openly threatening Zig and not trying anything though seems fucking stupid and a nice way to put him on permanent edge/guard against you and make him start to deal you with proactively.Vanno just openly threatened him to his face through Isana and even more in a few pages. Sure Zig said he'd have no problem taking jobs that were against the Mafia, but he's an independent party.
>>288451005My boy is too pure...
>>288451034
>>288451056
>>288450957She was very expressive in the jogging chapter. Usually she's either stoic or sullen or a bit angry, I would say those are her most common expressions. Also >>288450636She's a dork elf, not a dark elf. They're brown too. It's a common mistake.
>>288451083
>>288451033Yeah there's an interesting back-and-forth to it where like, the Jinsu-ya came in very violently and carved out a space for themselves, but then unable to beat the top Jinsu-ya fighters the mafia is like, business is business and has allied with them to push out the third group. But then some of the mafia who were victims of the Jinsu-ya were unhappy with that, hence the backstabbing and situation over the last few chapters. It feels pretty authentic, not just that stuff is happening for no reason.I agree Vanno comes across as somewhat incompetent here, but I guess he thinks he's bought pretty much the strongest enforcers in the city and felt comfortable intimidating a (to him) random merc using them. But he acted on an assumption in a bad way. More sensible to just ask Isana about Zigg later.I hope we get more Siasha next time.
>>288451100End chapter.
>>288451100She's real fun, like Vegeta to Zig's Goku. Pure ego but with skills to back it up.
>>288450782>No thanks, I still haven't figured out if they're exclusive or if it's a polycule kinda deal I could get in on
I dunno if we needed two sequences of Zig aura farming to end the chapter lol.>>288451128Thanks OP!
>no witch in the chapter
>>288451005IMPREGNATE DRAGON PUSSY
>>288451120Yeah I'm fucking dying of Witchu depletion here.
I kind of hope that we eventually encounter another witch down the line to see how they interact with our power couple.So far all we've just seen are mooks from the Human Purists, Mafia, and Adventurers try and stir shit up just to get put in their place.
>>288451120Yea, Vanno really fucked up with his threat to Zig without knowing everything first. He can't apologize either because that puts him in a bad spot with his own crew and appearing weak to Zig. Having Isana be rattled and outright refusing to fight him though should be a big clue that he's made an enemy of someone he really shouldn't have and should try to smooth things over. Zig now has to keep 1 eye open for mafia action against him after that interaction and while I don't think he might be the one to act first, he has to do something.
>>288451217Dragon???
>>288451227I feel like we have to at some point, right? It's clear witches aren't just excellent magic users but almost like another species.
>>288451266>>288451217not really; just her ability name
>>288451293I love anime girls with big bushy eyelashes.
>>288451227
>>288451239Thankfully for Vanno, I think Zig doesn't really give a shit so long as he isn't dumb enough to actually go through with putting a hit on them.We've already seen him holding back plenty against everyone who has fucked with him over misunderstandings and quickly finding out they are out of their league.He's very quick to forgive and forget so long as you pay reparations and even take jobs for you so long as you have the coin.
>>288451314Vanno unfortunately comes off as stupid enough to think he can eliminate Zig if he plans it right.
You have been visited by the Isana of regret.
LOVE morally ambiguous women
>>288451313Oh sweet, how many volumes is that past the current english releases?I was thinking of picking up this series anyway since I'm nearly caught up on the ln I'm currently reading.
>>288451164So that's what her game is. I fully support her endeavours desu, Sia needs to chill and accept her as the sisterwife.
>>288451313She looks fun. Is she an earth witch like Siasha, does she have a different elemental power, or is it something else entirely?
>>288451391>Sia needs to chillThat's not happening lol
>>288451473fucking luv me Sia
>>288451313Is that her Zig on the left?
>>288451293DRAGON PUSSY >>> WITCH PUSSY
>>288451520pretty sure Isina's head would pop like a grape if she even tried to Dragon Eyes Siasha
>>288451120>some of the mafia who were victims of the Jinsu-ya were unhappy with that, hence the backstabbing and situation over the last few chaptersI thought mafia was all about family, so seeing how not more of them decided to say fuck you to the boss seemed a bit weird to me.Also both knife ears and mafia should be wiped out, but that's just my opinion.
>>288451520Let's not say things we can't take back.
>>288451391>Sia needs to chillNo, she needs to get crazier. She should be chaining Zig to the bed in revenge for neglecting her so much with all these side jobs.
>>288451580Intra-mafia scheming is super common and happens all the time. "Family" is the same bullshit as companies calling themselves "family"Dumbass retards fall in line and get suckered by their bosses thinking they found a place.
Look at this friendless loser
>>288451580It's kinda hard to ignore that the elves arriving did cause all the problems.
>>288451350How do we cheer her up? Are headpats a good idea?
>>288451640White Lightning Dork
>finally gets a cool moment last chapter>immediately gets turned into the clown that fucks everything up for ZigIs she actually meant to be competent but used as a Worf or is she actually just stupid?
>>288451554Elicia. The girls need more name-length variety desu.
>>288451868they all sound the same tooIsanaEliciaSiashaMORE 'A' SOUNDS TOO PLEASE
>>288451908>the pic in >>288451313 says "Shania"ENOUGH
>>288451984AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>288451908>>288451984Author just likes cute girl names ending in "a" leave him alone. Cute girls deserve cute names.
>>288451814Very competent at fighting, a bit socially inexperienced, scatterbrained and dorky. It's perfectly plausible. Not everyone can be both sharp and strong.
>>288452111She's a high-level enforcer for the elf mafia who regularly deals in underworld situations. This is 100% a moment when she knows to keep her mouth shut.
'a' sounding names are feminine, it's not strange that a lot of their names contain it.
>>288452155She's the muscle, not the brains or the leadership. That was clear in earlier Jintsu-ya chapters. It's human for people to have flaws like this, often IRL people will say shit they shouldn't or make mistakes despite being very competent in another area. I know manga characterizations are someone separate, bramched off, from real people but the roots are the same.
>>288452246She's also been shown to be sharp and part of the planning for their operations. She's been used as a punching bag to show Zig off and now also blunders a lot to make Zig seem even better. Everyone so far as been shown to be competent and mostly acting intelligently and are simply being bested by an unknown factor (Zig and Sia) when their experience tells them they would be fine otherwise.
>>288450589Should have just said something like>Is that surprising? Sorry, I don't know much about local politics.
>>288450506Isana calling him a whore right there
>>288450534>>288450636Fukken dork
>>288450926This little escapade is gonna cost the mafia like 10 million once Zig is done shopping.
>>288451005>your buddy was run through with a flanged, ten-inch-wide, inch-thick blade>clean wound>your other buddy had his insides mulched by an impact that burst through the other side>stableThis guy is a god
>>288451100>ain't shit
>>288451128Thanks, OP.Loving how Zig just ripped a guy's arm off and the kids were still ready to throw down with some shitty knives
>>288451814She's a musclehead dork so it fits.
>>288453528Boy are you in for some irony in the coming chapters.
>>288453745Sounds good to me
>>288450926If Siasha made the big bucks and paid Zig better, would he still take side jobs just to keep his skills sharper?
>>288451120>spoilerI hope we don't. Worst part of the manga by a fucking mile.
>>288454926This all got started because Zig went looking for info discreetly and it keeps snowballing and pulling him back in.
>>288450451What's with the nipponjin and their organized crime apologia?
>>288455182It's true. With the fall of the yakuza, the rise of tokuryu is a problem because it's much harder to hide and keep clean from the public.
>>288455219So it's just for face? Crimes are fine as long as there isn't a public spectacle bothering the poor police and politicians.
>>288455285No, you can also control it better and keep citizens safe. When the police can sit down with a local leader and tell them to knock off the protection rackets on grannie's sweet shop things get done. When you got a bunch of lil shits running around smashing windows and stealing copper with no orgnization it's harder to reign in.
>>288454926He would because he's an overtime-whore.
>>288455522literal sense, that's his brothel money
>>288454957
>>288451100>>288451056sex eyes
>>288455557
>>288455182Yakuza were pretty good at cultivating an ultra-nationalist image. In contrast organized crime in the U.S. is historically associated with various ethnic minorities. One can get the chud vote, the other can't.
>>288451587She's the one doing side jobs, giving Zig time to fool around.
>>288455557>his brothel moneyImagine Sia
>>288450715Whether he realizes it or not, Siasha is effectively Zig's "backer." Granted, even if his sense of ethics didn't prevent him from mentioning Siasha, it might be difficult to explain the situation properly.
>>288451496yeah and he seems Japanese, and here I thought the Elves are the Japanese in this setting.
>>288451401According to pixiv, her main focus is brainwashing and stealth
Feels like she's also kinda underselling her own strength. She wasn't trying to kill him. I think
>>288459705Doesn't she literally say she couldn't afford to hold back
>>288459713Oh darn, I might have to go re-read all of Elicia-chan's chapters, what a bummer, hahahaaa
>>288459353She seems like a shit but hopefully she can teach Sia how to be sexual beyond 'plz stroke my hair hhhnngghh' because godamn, she is pent up.
>>288459353Control shadow and stealth magic. Every witch is capable of brainwashing just by injecting mana to their target. Usually used them for their favorite person to turn them into their puppet or pet. More powerful and able to overpower zig in close combat and she is more experienced in using magic than sia.
>>288460099Sia is a pure girl waiting for the right moment.
>>288455182Yakuza pay money DUH
>>288461013>Every witch is capable of brainwashing just by injecting mana to their targetDamn, our boy has been mind controlled all along.
>>288462537But the trouble is that in that moment she will ask for headpats or something instead of licking his chest, and Zig is a guy that will need a big push to get past that 'just a client' boundary.
>>288463293Of course not, that's improper client-employee relations.
>>288461013What's her story?
>>288462685Zig body is full of shiasha's mana according to shania but she noted that usually when it' already at this stage the person should be more or less like a puppet or crazy worshipper like the church of human extremist guys and feel interested why zig is able to keep his sanity intact>>288464135Zig got forced teleported to other dangerous city in another region alone. Meet this mysterious girl who know how the city works and both signed a contract to help each other out. Zig already knew she is a witch from the smell of her mana but stay quiet because he doesn't want to be involved in more trouble by mentioning this fact. As for her, she intended to make zig into her puppet when she know that he is immune to her charm and brainwash
>>288464457That first thing makes me wonder a lot about her motivations, I usually don't read LNs but I really like Witch & Merc and I might give it a read to learn more.
>>288451313Is that what the human-supremacist nun outfit looks like? No wonder people join.
>>288464457>Zig's body full of Sia's manaHow romantic. But I suspect Sia would rather it her her body full of Zig's something.
>>288464722>>288466048to make it clear sia is still a novice witch according to shania. Looks like sia unknowingly leak her mana to zig because how big her mana capacity. Shania even acknowledge that her mana reserve is much much more bigger than her. Also zig apparently tried to gather more information about how to use the mana inside him and will it be possible to use magic in the future.
>>288468000Oh wait, this is another witch after the next next arc's witch, haven't kept up with the WN in a bit.
What would Isana be like in bed?
>entry #69 of "dick-sucking temu guts (not the fun kind of dick-sucking) with no witch in sight" the comicYeah I'm not homosexual enough for this shit.
>>288450396how it is?by LN standards
>>288470460Weak to anal? Weak to anal.
>>288471364Cow girl with forceful kissing
>>288470460Initially tsundere then very doting.
>>288450926Looking forward to what sort of gear upgrade he gets this time.
>>288471462Sounds based.>>288471364Anal is for homosexuals.
>>288476549It's not gay if it's an elf
>>288453279That might not have panned out. Pointing out his ignorance of local affairs could lead to prying about where he's from, and Zig doesn't want that either.
>>288450790>>288451033Vanno's main goal seems to be probing for information. He's already on alert since Zig can smell the mafia's stealth agent. The threats and insinuations are methods trying to get a reaction from Zig so he'll spill some of his secrets.
>>288477853Surely everyone already knows that he came from out of town recently.
to be honest, i'd feel uncomfortable if there was someone as strong as zig hanging around who would take jobs from anyone
>>288451239As long as they don't actually attack him or do something insane like go after his main client, he's probably not going to be all that bothered.Maybe he'll just jack up the price a bit if the guy tries to hire him but that's about it.
>>288478936Just keep hiring him.Problem solved.
>>288479168They are worried someone can hired him to be a force against their interests, which is a legit concern with the way he does business.That's what shocked Vanno, that someone could be so brazen and dangerous but be unbacked.
>>288479384I'm not arguing that he isn't dangerous, I'm saying that outside of a job or his primary client being attacked he isn't likely to do anything major to them over a threat.
>>288451311This but with white/blonde eyelashes
>>288480688>>288451311I'm a thigh indentations and collarbones fag myself.
>>288478936Waving a gun in his face seems to be the wrong thing to do even if that apprehension is justified.
i read all the chapters avaiable of this manga last sunday. I dont know why this is so interesting to read.I love this stupid elf so much.
Sorry, Sia. Zig has to marry Isana and protect her from the world. This aho is simply too baka.
>>288450534Sweating blabbermouth Lightning Princess is cute, CUTE!
When i first read this chapter i though i had skipped another chapter. Choosing to not show this figth is very weird.
>>288478936>i'd feel unconfortable ...I wouldn't.How many people can afford to pay Zig enough to go against one of the biggest underworld gangs?He's very loyal to his job so he would think hard about the offer since it would mean he's endangering Siasha too.Sure he didn't mince his words when talking to Vanno but that's just Zig being Zig.>>288481447That would just make the price go higher.
>>288450451But you are saying it, even though small time crooks shouldn't impact you or your witch client at all.
>>288479245>all 3 big gangs start paying Zig 'protection' money so he won't take a job against any of themThis would be pretty hilarious.
>>288482254And the most logical. Problem is, Zig's jobs don't come cheap. So naturally the next best thing to do is to sign a non aggression treaty, while expanding and improving their intelligence network to catch any non-mafias trying to start shit before they can hire Zig.
>>288451239>>288451120Keep in mind zig threatened him first by admitting he would go after him/the mafia if he was hired to do so. Threatening him back when he claimed he was on his own was basically him trying to call his bluff (not that it was a bluff in the first place) rather than a serious threat to him personally, and was perceived as such.
>>288481935The three of them are just likable character. And I say three because it feels like Isana the Dork is the main secondary character.
>>288482613Ernest autists are kind of endearing.
Isana might be the best "dumb musclehead" character I've come across. Like, competently written and very belivable.
>>288482135>He's very loyal to his job so he would think hard about the offer since it would mean he's endangering Siasha too.That doesn't seem to be supported by the story so far.
