My memory might be spotty, but is this the first time we've gotten an explanation for the usage of Tien and Chi?

As I recall, it was also explained in the LN (I think).

Abel: "If you have absolutely no other options, and I gotta stress that, no other options, really and truly No.Other.Options... Ask Ryo for help."

Saw a story a few years ago about a guy who automated most his job only for his company to fire him and try and force him to give them the scripts saying it was their property. Basically he laid himself off.

90% of the time they'd be absolutely right in that situation. If he wrote the scripts specifically for assisting with the job they were paying him to do then the code is definitely their property unless he had a contract ahead of time saying he could keep ownership of it.

The point is the guy in the manga will end up getting a good job only to make himself redundant and get laid off with the way it is going.

The MC was smart though in that she made the automated system required her being there so couldn't be fired. That was till a idiot took over the company.

@AliceCheshire oh! No, this is very different in the novel. The trio did kill a red dragon which they eventually brought back to Erland to have butchered. And Marcus elevated Mukoda to S-rank for the killing of the red dragon.

Having the story instead pivot to it being a fake red dragon for the manga though, is interesting.

There's subtle interesting differences from Light Novel to manga and to the anime.

@arghc Yeah, he's the mage of Bell's original party. As I recall, I believe Bell saved him (added: and the other two members) from a monster in a dungeon and lost his leg in the process.

BRUH WHO GAVE THIS AUTHOR THE FEELS KNIFE?

Maybe someone can introduce Ellen to the Dunkelfelger way of woman making the advance on a guy... I'm sure as an adventurer Ellen would be able to do it. Though maybe as some things progress and Linus frees himself from the past related to that as well he might start looking...

As for Olof... probably drunk since the festival. Since he made that comment in a large gathering where both subjects of his comment could have overheard, nor just Alec with them there but Shiori could have overheard it too. That goes well beyond even the type of talk you'd have with your mates.

"No one said there'd be FOG!!"

Is fog not a natural phenomena that just happens once in a while in Japan? 8-)

Wow, a little bit of communication works wonders doesn't it.

Poor tree.

It’s still upright. I think.

Wow… What a fiancé!

How far back was his last appearance? I don’t remember him.

(Even with an attempt at technology transfer, I don't think you can go from no guns to mass production of good guns in two decades.)

Um, IIRC, Japan did.

@arghc said in Fushi no Kami (Manga) Vol 9 Discussion:

I always thought that bricks were mud + straw (or sawdust) + sun = bob's your uncle.

You can do that, and for many circumstances this is sensible. But kiln fired bricks are much stronger and more durable. Think of the difference between unfired pottery and fired pottery.

I kind of suspect that building a kiln out of unfired bricks, and then using it multiple times (which would result in partially fired bricks) would be bad, but I don't know much about kilns, so that is really just a guess.

I would expect there to be a boot-strapping sequence for kiln fired bricks. That or you start with stone or terra cotta cooking ovens.
