Why does the Calendar page show next Wednesday(15th) when it was released today?

Thanks for spotting this! It's gone on sale on our site a week early due to a small date mixup. The release date on all other retailers is March 15. Apologies for any confusion!

@rkkn I think it's a hint as to his purpose too.

He's there to share the wonders of KARATE!

Ah, good ol' Past Mia, truly Present Mia's greatest nemesis... apart from those who have yet to make their appearance in the manga.

Hmm... yeah, bunch of real snakes that lot is.

But boy is it perfect that past Mia jinxed it for current Mia!

this is a weird series. You've got a bunch of nasty gore whenever enemies are defeated, and then the protagonist's two allies are cute furry animals.

I also appreciated the pun shower on first meeting Reinya, and the fact that Mekh's fuzzy body doubles as a bath sponge.

@Whacka ...and now my mind is going to the idea that grandma came from the dreaming world.

Love will make you strongest. Love for your friends, love for your homeland and... love for beating things up.

I'm beginning to remember why I stopped reading the LN.

You've got a spreading faith that says the Light of Origin is Eville!, the followers of whom all wear jewellery made using an unknown mineral, pillars of said mineral are being erected all around, and visitors from the Empire are becoming ill due to interference with their mana.

And not one of those associated with the Empire, nor Our Heroine who is a reincarnate of an Imperial, consider that any of this might tie together.

If you are seeking an enemy capable of unified action throughout your vassal states, maybe, just maybe, a faith that has spread throughout said states which is openly hostile to you might be something to investigate!!!
Especially if they encourage the spread of a mineral unknown to you, and you know that minerals can interact with the mana from the Light of Origin.
When you are already investigating Star Metal due to it being unknown.

OK, so investigating Star Metal has to do with it being something associated with the babe you're enamored of, rather than a sign of basic intelligence in the face of enemy action...

This is why I stopped reading the LN.
They are too stupid to rule.
Seriously.
They started this tour of the vassal states as an undercover investigation yet cannot see what's right under their noses.
It makes the arrogance of their enemy maneuvering in plain sight justified.

@mortcs Can't say I really agree that he's a jerk.

His life has been stolen from him. And stolen from him. And stol... guess that's enough of that.

He's done what he can to get something back. He could have stayed out of what was going on (proved that he could withstand "being killed" already). But he took on responsibility for HER.

Sure, he acts like a jerk. But he's also acted as best he could relative to her.

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

@rkkn
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.
