I don't think its the old man they are watching.

basically, if he were to cure her like that, he might make her into a saint and a bunch of other annoying things might crop up as a result.

they remind me of kuma bear.

Luce as a slime is cute too!

wouldn't her using her power draw attention...

ah damn, are going to have to put another lord down?

the symbolism of the last two panels is well done.

we can fix her.

Ok, it is all but confirmed that that old man is the elder. The way he described him was basically the old man. And it is good to see there is some in there with eyes to see, and maybe this kid will be another to join MCs ranks.

i was saving this for when there were a lot of chapters but it got axed...oh well.

well this is a drama show, that much is certain.

Alright. I like how the way of this world is not cut and dry. Everyone has their own motives and sometimes it conflicts with MC's way of thinking. This is a good way to keep the story grounded, even though it felt a bit forced.

wait wait wait.....why would you introduce such an anachronistic item like a gun.

this is a difference in investing into a resource you aren't sure about, and one that is guaranteed. To expect them to suddenly give that up for something that isn't certain, coupled with their history of being ostracized, the elder is looking out for the tribe. It is up to the others to convince him otherwise. He is not right, but he is not wrong either.

they really don't get it. oh well, time to learn. These sort of villains are designed to be brushed aside so lets get this over with.

the power couple is here!!!!! The only two people to ever get a happy ending*

so the old woman was a relative of the princess, or a servant perhaps.

Even shiro is surprised at how OP hes become.

ah so we get a flashback. Man that old man has more power in this world than any of the other elders. Of all the people MC has met in this world, this is the first person he has had actual respect for. Usually everyone he meets is someone he wants to kill or wants to use.

the simp brigade eh
