>>291002256Thanks OP
>>291001761Falin is merciless
>>291002221what the fuck chil doing with that potsticker
>>291001819>a koboldIsn't this wrong? Kobolds are demi-humans, like orcs and oni. Izutsumi is a mix of human and cat souls. The mushrooms seem like they only changed the monster part, so she is literally a dog person. Actually, she still has cat ears. Did the mushrooms actually change the human part into a kobold?

>>291002178>rolling the dough with a pipe that he just found in an underground ruinHoly shit, they're going to get metal poisoning.
>>291001871Is Senshi the one saying "not being distracted is good" or is that Kot?
>>291001871Just re-roll until you get what you need
>>291002238>elves and dwarves are pissy about sharing technology when it's their own damn fault the world was nearly destroyed
>>291002002These guys are some of my favorites amongst classic monster lair monster types. Can't go wrong with gargoyles defending the place.
>>291002534senshi
>>291002081>>291002091More of Laios being a decent party leader, keeping everyone going althoughAnd more of it being at the cost of poor Shuro, lol
>>291002571Imagine them moving like a low framerate stop motion movie, too. Creepy.
>>291002522>>291002208Wait, is that why there's so much iron in this meal?
>>291002256He's still pretty dang dashing, in his own wayThanks for the read, OP
>>291002614There was a lot of iron in the hippogriff soup too. It's just a high-iron meat I guess.
>>291001791Onahole Marcille
>>291002326It changed the human part only, she is still a cat and will always be a cat

>>291001926>kot reads Bleach, chapter 354
>>291002789KUBOOO
>>291002722she's doing her best, okay?
>>291001962>>291001988I enjoy Marcille and Laios being loud idiots together
Also was Senshi the only one that had his personality at all changed? Everyone is pretty much acting like themselves. Even the cat isn't acting doglike
>>291002873>Even the cat isn't acting doglike>>291002064
>>291002873Elf brains might work differently
>>291002377Presumably stronger than Senshi, even if its purely due to their age differences, but I don't know if he'd be able to beat Namari or Dia, who are more used to fighting as dwarves + are also fairly young like he is. Not sure what kind of strength difference there'd be between male/female dwarves, either.
>>291002873I think in his diary Senshi says his personality didn't change at all and he's just acting regular, it just happens that he's apparently a bishonen dwarf
>>291002873obviously elves have a haughtiness gland as part of their biology
>>291001791
>>291002557To be fair, most of the forbidden stuff is related to the demon, so they don't really want to share info about its existence. We see in some later chapter stuff that even on the surface, there are instances of this kinda steampunk-ish tech, too.
>>291001806The very picture of a deadbeat dead.
Sex with... Chilchuck?
>>291002026It takes the classic scenario of a protagonist in a tight spot seeking help from the heroine and approaches it from a meta and ironic perspective.
>>291002377>>291002900We have seen he is quite strong for a human so me might have a chance against Senshi, but no way against Namari
>>291002256Thanks.
>>291002895except that part. That's more like a physical response.>>291002905It'd be funny if being a dumpy tired dwarf just subdues him. So being an elf just made him more confident and open
>>291001857Is the party comfortable with swapping unwashed clothes?
>>291002873He's exactly the same, the only difference is that his silly fave was changed to a bishie elf. Picture Senshi's usual face in his dialogue this chapter and you will see that there's no real difference to whenever he's not serious.
>>291003176Not like they really have a choice, they'd rather wear the other parties unwashed clothes than destroy/damage their own clothes by stubbornly trying to continue on in them.
What would be be the "meta" race just for dungeon crawling? Life span and global influence is meaningless, what race would you want to be to beat and survive a dungeon?Strong races seem to struggle with resources and endurances, needing more food. More skillful races are often weaker
>>291003226Gnomes. Having powerful spirits like an undine to fight for you while having access to support magic like healing and resurrection seems like the best bet for a solo run.
>>291003226Tallman, despite how boring the answer is. They just end up being the perfect middle ground of "Can hold their own in most physical fights" + "Have decent endurance/stamina" + "Have the capacity to learn at LEAST basic helpful spells in the dungeon, both for offense and healing."
>>291001835Meta humor done right
>>291001791>>291001806>>291001819
>>291001871>On all levels except physical I am a wolf
>>291001911Chilcharles is the best
>>291001791Laios having hidden elf fetish confirmed.
>>291003287A party of Falins would negdiff the dungeon with their prodigious magic skill and bonking abilities.
>>291001761>grotesquelyI don't know about that, she's pretty fuckin' aesthetic if you ask me
>>291003499>t. Laios
>>291001761So washing hands before cooking is indeed already a thing in this fantasy world. Too bad we never see Senshi do it, and he really should be the one to do it most considering that besides being the chef he's also a literal janitor for free who picks up other people's shit and piss.
>>291001791I want to rub her belly.
>>291003226>>291003280>>291003287kotthe answer is kot
>>291002256Thanks OP>>291002522Can't give a dwarf metal poisoning That's just silly>>291002069Chilcharles
>>291003226gnome/dwarf hybrids. Falin, both pre and post chimera.
>>291003722Kot isn't really a 'race', she's an artificial chimera.
>>291003838> Gnome/dwarf hybridsstill kinda miffed that we don't really get any info about them or see any. Like, it'd be REALLY interesting to see the trait split up between the two. Like would it be something good like dwarven strength + gnomish magic capacity? Or would you get fucked over by having gnomish strength and shit dwarven magic capacity?
>>291003381The person that did that vine is trans now, last I heard they were dating the person who did the "what about NASCAR?" vine, who is also trans
>>291003226Depends on your goal. If you want to gather treasure then Tallman is the way to go since they are well balanced and have good endurance. If you want to beat the dungeon lord then elf wizards deal the most damage.
>>291001871Wait it’s different each time they step in the ring? It’s not a guarantee that they change back to their original forms?They must be really lucky that they got Hippogriff meat then or the fact that there were no other similar species.
>>291003899I guess it depends on whatever their ancestor race was like in strength and magic capacity before demon wishes split them into two separate, but very similar races.
>>291001887https://youtu.be/fUBJh4lDtCk
>>291004002Yep, though I wonder if there are really that many variants for hippogryphs/griffons. Unless basically any double sided chimera counts as 'similar enough'
>>291002552Doesn't work that way, unfortunately. You're fucked unless you get the spores off, regardless.
>>290977774excuse me, mr. president; that's not entirely accuratehttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A6%AC%E9%B9%BF#Japanese
>>291003226Probably an orc stealth archer.
>>291003226That reminds me, I was still working on that Tade idea for DD1, can't remember if I posted the newest version. I'm working on some of the more basic coding now, but I'm still lacking in trinket ideas so I've been filling blanks with generic sumo items, at least until I can think of something more Tade specific.
>>291002513why is this hotwhat's happening
>>291003226>PicrelHeck even without Mithrun they'll still probably conquer this dungeon easily
>>291002256hantan lyë avestaina
>>291002256Thanks, anonsito.
>half-foot MarcillePost THAT webm from the anime, you know the one
>>291001887if those are supposed to be iron bars dwarf laius is fucking ridiculously strong
>>291004237If that were true you would have heard people try to spoil and say:“The canaries have won! The canaries have won!”Instead Laios won, became king like the prophecy said, and Marcille is his personal back rubber while he gets orc women offered to him every weekend. The canaries don’t seem all that powerful if they struggle clearing simple dungeons like the island one.
>>291004237Feels like this group is kind of cheating, considering how Lycion acts as the strong physical help when the only reason he can be that is through illegal magic. The average elf isn't going to know how to do that, much less be willing to go through the transformation.
>>291004538To be fair, the canaries WOULD have won literally on the first level if Kabru hadn't sabotaged Mithrun the way he did (Even if the setup was 99% Thistle being a dumbass and putting himself in danger when he didn't need to).
>>291004673Well overconfidence is an insidious killer.
>>291001791Half-Cille best Cille
>>291004401https://desuarchive.org/_/search/filename/halfcille/page/1/checked the archive. there were a lot of variants. idk which one you're thinking of
>>291002189your dumplings are TOO CHEWY
>>291004945Is this a problem? Meals just like manga chapters are meant to be savored not eaten in one bite.chew
>>291004673>One OP elf got outsmarted by a weak ass human>Another OP elf failed becaused he went full retardNot helping your case elfbro
>>291001962>She finds out you're actually into halflings
>>291005106But i'm not human traffic brown elf?
>>291001791Someone please edit out that choker so I can see that as bare chest rather than a t-shirt
>>291002873I agree with what >>291003191 said.Here's a picture of Senshi as a dwarf, and here's all of his dialogue this chapter:>Not being distracted by little things is good. That's perfect for someone high-strung.>How much does ear size matter?>Because it was heavy?>Cooking is the perfect aid for self-reflection.>If we divide them over a few meals, they'll be gone in no time.>Careful. Don't burn yourself.>I'll see what I can do.Nothing Senshi says is particularly out of character. He's dense and to the point, with a glimmer of wisdom. He stresses the importance of food. He's frivolous about everything other than food.It just comes across differently when he's a goofy-looking dwarf compared to when he's an elven bishie with sparkles and roses.
>>291005175>goofy-looking dwarfYou take that back. Senshi is handsome.
>>291002238>TIME TO PULL YOUR WEIGHT YOU FUCKING NEPO BABYJesus dude chill
>>291002238I wonder why Laios DIDN'T learn that at school? He went to some proper boarding school AND graduated, feels like this'd be pretty basic world history. Or was he just skipping class/not paying attention like Falin did at the magic academy?
>>291001761>Grotesquely I'm finding that an interesting word choice.Though I suppose cutely transformed into a cool and sexy form doesn't set the right tone.
>>291003226If we're talking about a solo run, probably tallmen. They're not the true jacks of all trades that most fantasy settings make humans into, but they're the jacks of all trades in everything that matters.Not as strong as a dwarf or ogre, but strong enough to be good fighters.Not as much mana as an elf or gnome, but enough to get by with some key spells.The one thing they do seem to be the best at is stamina, which is obviously important in a dungeon crawl. And they have no stand-out weaknesses.Although if we're allowed to do hybrids and use illegal magic, then I think a half-elf weretiger would be the best.
>>291002326Demi-humans are indeed monsters.
>>291005329it's usually used as a synonym for ugly, but classically "grotesque" refers to caricature of the human form twisted or interwoven with other forms
>>291005294Laios has…issues. Anything not a monster might as well be an alien to him. And his education and upbringing since following Falin out of the village is dubious at best.
>>291004505I don't think we ever see another dwarf do this and he was legit overpowering Senshi when hopped up on Orc meds and sister-saving.
>>291002326>a kobold with cat earsKobolds are demi-humans, so Izutsumi's human half turned into a kobold, and her cat half probably turned into a different breed of cat. Or a different type of feline monster.I feel like giving her a different fur coloration would have conveyed that better, but that combined with her face changing into a dog's would've likely made her unrecognizable so I get why Kui didn't do it.
>>291005426Closest thing really is Namari and Senshi taking hits from the undine (through the pot) that otherwise blew Laios back like he was made of tissue paper. But yeah, I don't think we see anything else that impressive physically from dwarves.
>>291004505Laios is already really strong by tallman standards, and dwarves are stronger than tallmen.
>>291005465>>291005426I bet most dwarves don't really work out, if they're naturally strong and limited by stamina they probably don't have much need to train their muscles and if they do any training it would be all cardioLaius seems pretty jacked by human standards so he probably has a solid exercise regimen to keep his strength up when he's not in the dungeon and if the changelings translate that to an equivalent level of dwarf jacked he might be in the like top 0.01% of dwarf strength
>>291001791Least feminine elf
>>291005515Well, we know that dwarves can be out of shape just like anyone else, but yeah, they seem to be a lot denser muscle wise and have a pretty high base strength.
>>291002326Oni are not demihumans.But yeah I agree it seems wrong. Izutsumi was a human soul implanted into a cat. It seems strange for the cat aspect to be uninfluenced entirely, rather than the human aspect.
>>291005612Maybe the changeling spores are kind of like the succubi and can only focus on one thing at a time if it has 'two souls' as chimeras/artificial demi-humans do?
>>291005391Well what do you know? I guess it's highly accurate then.
>>291002326>>291005612I'm pretty sure the concept of demi-humans is arbitrary even in-universe.Japanese people think everyone other than tallmen are demihumans.
>>291005190He is but the helmet somehow makes his face dopey.
>>291005792>arbitrary It's bone count and human races being descendants of an original race that got fucked up over millennia through demon wishes
>>291005874>>291005792Oh wait. Yeah I guess demi-hukans specifically are kind of arbitrarily defined.Going back to the sea folk chapter, it's just feelings I suppose. And the line is further defined between merfolk and mermaids.Maybe mana and the ability to propagate outside dungeons plays into it.
>>291005874nta but imo it comes across as 'arbitrary' partly from the bone count (who's to say that some of the ancient races wishes didn't also include animal-ish elements that just happened to change their bone count?) but also the fact that 'demi human' is used on a pretty wide range of creatures, even if its clear that, say, merfolk are vastly less intelligent and much more akin to actual monsters or animals than Kobolds, who have language, fashion, tools, customs, and proper settlements (even if they have a smaller/less developed population base than the other big races do)Just feels like longer lived races probably just slap the 'demi-human' label on anything that strays even a bit from their specific definition of human, even though there should definitely at least be some sub-categories in there.
>>291005944Well, even in our world the concept of a species gets pretty blurry at the edges. Pretty much all forms of categorization break down if you poke at them hard enough, but it works out because most of the time you don't have to poke at them that hard. But yeah in the Dungeon Meshi world the elves and the dwarves probably do just slap "demi-human" on anything they feel drifts too far from themselves. Having a dog face counts as too far, being really short doesn't.
>>291005329Laios, stop posting and go back to governing.
>>291006226The wild berserker instincts and barbarian behavior might be part of it.Like the human demi-humans from Laios 's hometown, the mountain people or whatever it was. Traits that are anti-civilization, especially but limited to ones genetically engraved.
>>291002020>he's pulling all the aggroBetter turn into a tank class.
>>291002256Thanks OPkek chapter
>>291003287>>291003995>>291005350Kabru couldn't even reach the lower floors with a full team and kept dying to weak monsters.The race is meaningless if you're not skilled enough.
>>291003226If a party is allowed 5 characters max it should go:2 Humans 3 Elves
Changing Marcille into a non-elf ruins her. How is Laios supposed to have elf sex with her now?
Halfcille is pure sex. Bless the one drawanon who drew this and many others.
>>291006702But race is meaningful if you are skilled enough.We're taking for granted here that we're talking about a competent person.It goes without saying that a useless idiot of any race doesn't get far.

>>291005434I don't think the cat part changed at all
>>291007756It's perfect
>>291006348>Like the human demi-humans from Laios 's hometown, the mountain people or whatever it wasAnon...That was a joke. They were just normal tribal hill men, a common kind of community found throughout human history. As is usual, where two very different kinds of human groups meet, there's sometimes irrevocable differences in social more that lead to violent conflict, often to the extent that both believe the other to simply be incapable of living "peacefully" in "coexistence."The joke was Kabru was describing the Kobolds in a sympathetic but ultimately kind of racist way to explain why living with them is so hard for non-Kobolds and he only realized this when the Toudens agreed but simply said the same things about completely ordinary humans, revealing nothing he said is really all that special to demihumans, despite them legitimately being so different it might make more sense.
>>291007833There have been many times where they would just cook stuff right away without even cleaning themselves, the food, or their cookware. Level 2 had Senshi using his axe as a skewer after just using it. Level 4 had no fountains to clean just dirty lake waters harboring who knows what with water that comes from who knows where. Level 6 are literally the sewers and they had meals in it. They ate frog meals on the spot while surrounded by tentacles at one point and contaminated rice with probably blood and fish shit still on them they are not cleaning themselves and their stuff regularly. I bet they reuse dirty utensils from stuff like chicken monsters and slimes.
>>291004237These guys were specifically selected for their skills so they can conquer dungeons. However, without mithrun, I think they would struggle against Sissel, especially on lower levels.Mostly because they seem pretty disorganised.
>>291007279Anon no! You can't NTR Mrs Chilchuck! He must stay faithful to her even though they're separated!
>>291007756Anti-diversity
>>291004505When Laios blocked the undine's attack with the pot, he was launched backwards from the force. When Senshi and Namari did the same thing, they were able to pin it down through grip strength alone. Senshi has also been habitually cleaving through monsters with a dull, poorly maintained axe. Dwarves are strong.
>>291001761oh shit
>>291001887Chilchucked
>>291001887Chilchuck the chuckster.
>>291004538>simple dungeons like the island one.The island dungeon was anything but simple as it was in it's late stage of development before Falin was even eaten.It consists of several floors with wildly different layouts and monsters and the deeper parts can change almost instantly to feed better on the desires of people there. And the point is that the canaries can brute force any dungeon by just sending a small army to one which is what they were trying to do before Kabru stopped them, it's not a matter of being skilled adventures if you have a whole platoon dismantling it from the ground up.
>>291008253She'll understand, she might even wonder why he hadn't been molested sooner with his cute looks
>>291008944If dungeon lord summons army of deadly monsters, surface armoes have no chance winning the battle head on. We see that in the manga.Canaries beat the dungeons by killing the lords, which is a tricky job.
you just know Chilchuck put another baby in his wife after they made up.

Laios is beardless
>>291013031Falin made him go clean shaven when they got to the island. If he had some stubble he would have probably had a beard
>>291013093He started shaving and cutting his hair when she said the he looked like their dad.

>>291016152Laios you fucking nigger.You said it yourself, substrate for the spores.You're killing Kensuke here, just for some chuuni greyskull sword design.This is why the rest of the team treats you like a fool despite your accomplishments. Because you keep doing fucking retard shit like this.
>>291016931you consume spores daily

Small Marcille is nice but I prefer her normal look. If you really want a version of her that’s like the halfling she was then make her a mother.

>>291017818No, it just blends in. You can clearly see it here >>291015989
>>291015926This could also be effective against members of solitary species, as somewhat hinted at with the hippogriff. That back-kick still worked due to the size and strength of a griffin, but other creatures would be stymied by having to learn the ins and outs of a whole new body plan. Imagine a cougar trying to use its usual hunting strategies while in the body of a wolf. It's easy to imagine the scenario of a changed herbivore trying to eat something from its original diet, only to find out what it ate is poisonous to its new body
>>291017430>>291017458I feel like in the Dungeon Meshi world it’s possible to make an infertile elf fertile it’s just that nobody has even tried. There should be a spell or item somewhere that fixes this.
>>291017244>seehear
>>291016049Of course digestion is strong. Think of all the "nutrients" it deals with
>>291018143Tch. You're still eating "greens".
>>291018116depends on the infertility cause, I would guess. Sometimes it's gene incompatibility. Sometimes it's a barren womb.
>>291016101>Laios footSniff
>>291018116 If it was possible people would have definitely tried. You don't think a Mule hasn't dropped hundreds of coins on gnomish wizards to develop a fertility fix so she can have a child with her dwarf husband? The problem is in the chromosomes. Maybe Marcille is the lucky 1 in 100000 mule who was born fertile, that can happen with real life mules, but more likely she's barren
>>291015443Maybe because it was sheathed?
>>291015312I really like the Halfcille x Chilcharles dynamic.

>>291019313In a world where you can bring the dead back to life, shoot fireballs out of your butt, bend steel with your bare hands, turn back time, and change into another species entirely but not solve cross-breeding problems that would make too much sense.
so from here on we enter the story parts not covered by the anime yet
>>291007968The level to which you didn't understand what I was saying is quite meaningful.But, since you seem to have genuine intentions I'll break it down.I'm fully aware the mountain people are human beings, the thing is the brutal behavior means it doesn't matter whether they are totally human-like or not.We can see some instincts that effect other species do exist, and are even stronger than anything seen in humans. Kobolds especially have it hard, it seems. This means that they're objectively less fit to belong in a society as equals to other beings on average. Though not utterly and irreconcilable in all cases. However, the exact thing can occur with human beings. Laios and Falin are entirely correct, there are some groups where you're going to just have to kill them, and Kaberu's mistake is assuming that only applies to other species. A great example IRL is the sentinel island people, who despite us having a supposedly far more advanced society and having collectively far more resources and knowledge than Falin and Laios' village are equally impossible to communicate peacefully with, with any real certainty.
>>291004538>Marcille is his personal back rubber while he gets orc women offered to him every weekend.Oh come on now, she’s aware of Laios’s lust for the non human. They have a monogamous marriage where they do it in missionary with Marcille dressed in a mule costume
>>291019313Maybe because they chew and bite

>>291017430That's why my headcannon is that Laios is actually shooting fertilizer as one of his residual powers from becoming his OC, I mean the dude's shits become entire forests it's not so far fetched.
>>291023134>the dude's shits become entire forestsIs that a motherfucking VERMIS reference?

>>291015989I like the implication that half the time Senshi might've seen pissed or otherwise cross about people not appreciating his cooking, he was actually just really upset
>>291014877Forgot to spoiler like a dumbass.Considering Marcille is a half elf, I wonder if it would be possible for the changelings to do a double roll, so she could be a half gnome half dwarf, or half orc and half oni. Fun to think about.
>>291019313They just said digestion is powerful. Saliva already starts the breakdown of starches and what not

>>291017255>just for some chuuni greyskull sword designI don't think that's his aim. I bet he's trying to breed the changeling mushroom with the spores stuck on the sword.
>>291002238Stupid question but what's the timeline on these elf-dwarf wars? Before the Golden Kingdom, right?
>>291020162The anime makes it more clear that the Manneken can still move, but you can see SFX here >>291015894 suggesting that it's trying to move towards Laios.
>>291015718>>291015746This felt like an odd plan since it would be more logical for it to transform into another monster
>>291023469There's a non-zero chance you could be attacked by velociraptors on the surface, they're perfectly viable animals without magic.
>>291024194Even if it did turn into another monster, they would still be at an advantage since the monster would need to grow accustomed to its body.
>>291015989more proof she's still a cat inside. Dogs literally dance in excitement for the same canned food for the 500th day in a row

>>291015014He had claimed that defeating the Mad Mage would allow them to regain control over Falin. In reality, however, he had intended to keep her alive in her monster form for the rest of her life. Had he revealed that, Shuro would have been truly furious, this time for real.
>>291024872Dude just didn't feel like killing his sister. Like imagine getting Falin back and then trying to coach her into accepting being killed so they could get her back into her original body, which is unprecedented.
>>291003226>draw a girl showing her ass>no asswhat even is the point?
>>291011009This setting really makes me think how you can legally be a pedophile if you date a half-foot. In fact, the concept might not even exist, but also interracial couples aren't really a thing, right?
>>291025069They do exist, short-long lived couples are frowned upon by the long lived (literally called shotocon), and there's a pedophile lesbian elf who exclusively dates young half-foots
>>291015226What about little boys with beard?
>>291015240Laios shaves and girl dwarves in Meshi don't grow beards in the traditional sense.
>>291015839i mean, what's the worst that could happen? die faster? you're already fucked as is
>>291025069It is legal, just very socially looked down upon by (most of) the people on both sides.
>>291015989that panel of izutsumi looks like she's putting on a napkin for dinner. front facing dogs look hilarious and i'm glad kui knows that

>>291014877dwarf Marcelle is cute...
>>291025257Half-foots are one thing but treating them the same as this world’s normal humans is racially insensitive. Literally only the long-lived care about another elf dating the short-lived seeing it as a negative thing. In mostly human regions this probably isn’t really an issue because humans breeding with compatible different species like half-foots and elves are common enough to the point of contributing to overpopulation.
>>291025257Bigots who meddle in the consensual romantic lives of others remain the same, regardless of the era or place.
>>291016152Thanks, anonsito.
>>291025180>>291025257The official translation using the phrase "shortacon" is really funny
>>291014877daddy Senshi
>>291016152Fucking kekthanks OP
>>291026070it's a nuanced issue because treating the short-lived races as if they're equivalent to widdle elven babies that don't have fully developed brains and self-determination is objectively wrong, but also at least one of those supporters is a human trafficker that exclusively legitimately grooms halffeet with "wow you're so mature for your age..." lines and disposes of them before they reach middle age
>>291026342You're making her sound like a serial killer.
I think the consensus is elves or other long lived races are naturally seen as predators by their own kind when it comes to romancing those with shorter lifespans. For example if word got out that a Laios and Marcille sexual relationship were to ever happen they would immediately see Marcille as the aggressor who hunted him while in his party rather than taking the view that Laios has an elf fetish. Judging by how far Marcille actually went to revive Falin and serve her brother they wouldn’t really be that far off.
>>291001791BARA WA BARA WA
>>291026342In otta's case she honestly comes across more like some kind of short lived otaku or something. Going on about how amazing short lived races are without really understanding them as individuals
>>291026432No, the serial killer is a different Canary. She's just a pedophile human trafficker.
>>291026596You know pedophile rhetoric for why that 12 year old can consent? The flowery navel gazing to try to justify predation? That's what she's doing. She's couching lust in admiration.
>>291024194Most likely, they're not so much traditional monsters as they are legitimately just enchanted statues, and they're at least aware of this in-setting. It feels ironic, to a degree. Something ostensibly an object like Living Armor would probably turn into another create like a Mimic, but something that's ostensibly a monster like a Gargoyle would just become a different statue
>>291025470All women should have 3 things1) Big Ears2) Big Eyebrows3) Big CheeksEverything else is optionalGnomecille gets 2/3 right
I think I see a retcon. If Marcille lived 40 something years shouldn’t she already know other races don’t live nearly as long as her especially through her years of association with Falin and education? I mean elves in general know exactly when dating age becomes a problem so they should already be aware human years are basically the same as dog years to them so most obviously don’t realistically live to be 100 the same way a dog lives to be 30.
I find it funny how seemingly close Namari and Laios were. It should be strange that the two most awkward people in the part just naturally got along super well, but it isn't
>>291016152The DEI race swap arc is finally over
>>291027146She didn't know any half-foots before Chilchuck and assumed that Tallmen had the shortest lifespan.
>>291027146She's not an expert on Half-foot lifespans and tries not to think about death
>>291027146We don't know a whole lot about her past, but we DO know that she was home-schooled for most of her actual 'youth' due to her physical/mental growth being so unstable Don't know how long she was actually a student at the magic academy before she graduated and became a student researcher, but it presumably wasn't more than like, 5-8 years. At which time she would've only really seen other young girls going through the school too, graduating, and then leaving off somewhere else. Its not as though she's depicted as having many friends at school or in general aside from Falin anyway. So its likely she just never really got into asking about their ages/life expectancies and assumed that "well, they're short lived, but they probably live to around 100 at least, right?"
>>291001791>got so sidetracked by life I missed these chaptersFug. At least I was here for the reveal that Senshi is a femboy by dwarf standards.
>>291027563Senshi is the most masculine elf we see by farHow that translates to dwarf... best left to the scholars
>>291027172I don’t think they were that close to begin with if she wasn’t willing to say she was breaking away from his party to his face. At least Marcille did in the If chapter and she showed far more respect for him that way than Namari did in the actual story.
>>291027563> femboy > has facial hairElf Senshi is a man among men to the elves. Like how Mithrun his considered super manly by elf standards too, going by his human form.
>>291027778I think with Namari she's just the kind of 'work friend' who you can casually chat/laugh with + maybe have an odd drink or two together after work with, but they don't really hang out with you normally and you don't really get a deep bond/find out important stuff about them.
>>291015894Bringing back all the David-kun memories.
>>291002091continuity error. By this time, Kabru and Mithrun were deep in the dungeon. They were the ones who left that campsite.
I think the way Marcille treats her future husband Laios is exciting.
>>291028086No, this happened right as they were about to exit via a teleportation spell and heard the ringing on both sides. They made the camp site only a day before Laios & co showed up
>>291028210Goddamn it, I keep forgetting to spoiler images
>>291028210she mostly salvaged the continuity here, but still a minor retcon error with this chapter's cut-in depicting Kabru being between Shuro and the Canaries instead of in a different room
>>291028280>minor errorShuro is not even wearing the right outfit let alone being in the right placement.
>>291003287In real life, homosapien dominated their closely related cousins
>>291007171>ogreIf I was a tall man, I would impregnate Tade CONSTANTLY
>>291028658
>>291026629In reality, no one can explain the difference between the argument that a twelve-year-old lacks the capacity to consent and the argument that a short-lived species lacks the capacity to consent.
>>291026342Is there a source for the claim that she was "disposing" of the other party? Judging by her own words, it was simply the end of a romantic relationship; there was absolutely no suggestion within the story that human trafficking was involved in that relationship.
>>291015014>Laois naively believing that Thistle would simple apologize and promise to not do bad things after being defeated
>>291028997Im not sure if "dispose" of is the right word. She probably grooms them in an effort to make it much easier to traffic them later as slaves or prostitutes.
>>291029116So, what is the source for that? The depiction in the story merely shows the character blushing and saying, "That didn't work out". The sort of thing that can happen in a romantic relationship. To the best of my recollection, there was neither any depiction nor any written account suggesting that human trafficking played a role in that relationship.
>>291029187>source?!?! Proof?!?!
>>291024051Marcille does seem the type to stick her fingers up the guy's asshole during sex.
>>291026432She does have a high body count
>>291029199In short, that is precisely the discriminatory attitude and prejudice you harbor toward shotacons that the belief that her romantic feelings simply cannot be valid.That is precisely the element Kui is being ironic about in this scene.
>>291014877I will adopt that kitten.
>>291028958Anon, she dumps them when they become older, to the point she didn't even know how tall tall-men get in 10 years (and she was talking about Kabru who isn't particularly tall.)The joke is that she pretends to be a misunderstood, gentle soul but in reality she's a sick fuck. Interspecies relationships are legal, to the point there's an entire subgenre of romance entertainment about it, but she ended up in the same jail they reserve for users of black magic and marked for life. Clearly she did something other than merely innocently loving other people.
>>291027146When I was a kid, I knew about the man who lived the longest being about 120 years old. I knew that it meant that most people don't get to live that long.Later on, when I was about 8-9 years old, my teacher's dad died at around 73 and I got really, really, really sad. I thought that 73 was too little time.You see, it's not that I didn't know that living to a 120 was an outlier, it's that I wanted to believe that all the people I love would get to live 120. Seeing my teacher sad made me realize that people you care for may not get to live that long.I assume something similar was going on there. Marcille is terrified of the people she knows dying soon, so she chooses to believe that all of them are going to live at least 100 years to cope with it.
>>291029458I’ll ask again: was there any description anywhere indicating that her romantic partner was involved in the human trafficking she carried out?As for Kabru, it simply comes across as a heartwarming scene where an aunt is amazed by how much a child has grown. It is just that the surprise is all the more profound given the racial differences in lifespan.
>>291029559Yes, the very scene in which the elves' crimes were explained.
>>291029600In that scene, she didn't say she had sold or traded her lover; on the contrary, her phrasing suggested a typical breakup of a romantic relationship. If that had been her intention, she wouldn't have spoken that way.So, which scene are you referring to?
>>291029685>typicalThe breakup she always goes through when one of her conquests reaches the age of 30 and threatens to show even a hint of age?
>>291029728It is not uncommon for a woman to go through multiple divorces.The typical romantic life of another person is defined as much by the mystery of why they divorced as by the mystery of why they married that person in the first place.Furthermore, there is no depiction in the work suggesting that the person with whom she was involved in human trafficking is the same individual as her romantic partner.
