So now the author allowing (fake)Kei to get KOed makes sense. Had to get Kei to make up with her mom.

I was reading his hesitation as reflecting our reality and its values.
One has to have permission prior to using experimental procedures.
One has to have permission to do damn near anything to avoid lawsuit for malpractice.
If a life is saved as a result of treatment, but there's a side effect of the treatment that endures... folks will prosecute concerning that side effect totally ignoring that the individual would have died without said treatment.

He has memories of an advanced civilization; this stuff is part and partial of advanced civilizations.
Since he isn't living in an advanced civilization ... mob justice has always been a thing.

Since they don't know of an effective treatment, those who survive, survive.
They are familiar with what changes might be there with those who survive.
If he treats her and she survives, what proof is there that it was due to his action unless the odds of survival are that bad?
If the survival odds are that good, then if a side effect kicks in some would be sure to argue that she'd have survived and that his action caused her to be worse than if he'd left well enough alone.

All of which is well and good, but my take based upon what we've been shown in-story is that there was ample justification for believing she wouldn't survive without his treatment.
Definitely that he didn't believe she would survive without his treatment, which is why I considered his hesitation the stupidest thing ever.
Yes, it's nice that he understands all of these ethical considerations, but if he believes she will die without proper treatment... at least start moving toward her house while mulling over all of this stuff.
Or be shown packing the required materials for transport, something other than standing around stroking his chin while pondering ethics.

Volume 9 - Chapter 3:

Page 6 ► Bottom-left Box ► TREAT THESE O’LTROMEAN DOGS TO ALL THE ► It should be O’LTORMEAN?

Well, the series just went full horror guro with the most recent part. Even more so than I'd pictured in my head while reading it!

Well, problem 1 solved already then. Sage Yogiri it is. Wonder what would have happened if the story actually went in that direction.

Being a demon lord "pays the bills", as it were (even if, in this case "the bills" are actually social debts one believes one owes to one's grandparents).

@rsog412 Apologies, I've fixed the link on the calendar!

@zwabbit It is too much to ask, but only if someone could have figured out the Arata army used communications, and only if there could have existed some jamming technology to break them...

I agree about the detection by sound, detecting where a shot was fired from based on sound triangulation is a technology from at least 50 years ago - so the Chinese army must have it too. The buddies next door were from a unit that specialized in just this kind of reconnaissance.

@Geezer-Weasalopes said in Rebuild World (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:

It seems clear it's been a while since there's been anyone he felt he could rely upon.

If there's ever been anyone like that; I'm not entirely sure he's ever had anyone he's felt he can rely on. There are people he can trust in the moment, but...

If only he didn’t resurface, and that was the end… Parents avenged; nothing else needed.

This is difficult to slog through.

@Korppi It's already being worked on, but it will take a couple hours due to some technical problems behind the scenes. We're very sorry for the inconvenience!

"In the year XXXX of the modern calendar, the term 'Jiggly-blob' was introduced into the official taxonomy. The persistence of its creator, Milena, gradually overcame the resistance of entrenched authority. Precisely how one distinguishes a jiggly-blob from more hostile varieties of slime... apparently offering tasty treats helps."

Lady Mary: That's bullshit. But I believe it.

Mary really does come off as the tough friend that has your best interests at heart. She's terrible at being a villain.

Welcome to my pain

@morbelek I give it all the stars 😁

This manga's facial expressions are always just priceless.

v6c4pg14p2: “You’re wearing a rose on your lapel?” Panel 5: That’s not my definition of a lapel, but I’m not too aware of fashion definitions. The rose looks flat enough that I thought that it was printed on her shirt/top/blouse, but it’s not there on the next pages, so printing is out (unless the artist is just forgetful).

v5c6pg30p4: That’s not an airplane that I’d want to fly on. I don’t think that I’m tall enough to reach the overhead bins. It almost looks like a wide train, rather than an airplane; the windows are too big, and the walls too slab-like. Are we seeing business class? I can’t think of any economy seating in a 4-engine wide body that’s 2-3-2. I’m too lazy to look up the A340. I think that 747 economy seating was often ten seats across. A380 upper deck? B767 seating might be 2-3-2 (might not), but that’s a twin.

That’s enough semi-educated nitpicking from me. :p

Edit: Yeah, from panels on the following pages, those are probably supposed to be business-class seats. The windows are still too big, though. ;)

v4c6 - pg23, panel 5: […] I might be reuinited with my friend […] -> reunited

I’ll also send this to support@j-novel.club.

Once again, poor Zack. Brother-zoned himself when he failed to be there and notice what was going on. Manga really hits it home that Shiori could have easily ended up with Zack. Sorry to Clemens who was never even in the running.

I call shenanigans. I expect Shiori fell asleep sitting at the side of the bed and Alec or Rurii helped her into it.

Still nice to see Alec mention that Shiori has a bad habit if dismissing what she does. She probably singlehandedly prevented large casualties by assessing the situation and freeing the snow wolf mates.
