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.

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-)

Poor tree.

It’s still upright. I think.

Wow… What a fiancé!

…

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

v10c3:

pg2, panel 3: Missing letter - She was the mascot of the game nd was one of Kunai’s advisors. -> and

“Foot Odor” +2? Heh…

And so we have a third dragon in our midst!

@hasezoey said in Fearsome Witch (Manga) Vol 2:

EDIT: i just saw that the book is already released, should i put in a email instead?

Yes, that's the best way to handle it. Though it's possible that the mistake was caught before release.

I don't know in this case since I haven't purchased the book, but in general final corrections made right before publication don't get incorporated back into the prepubs, so there may be errors in the prepubs that aren't in the final product.

@Ingraman said in Crown of Rutile Quartz (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:

How many volumes are out in Japan? That makes a big difference.

v3 releases in March.

Zenos is about to show all of them what a true healer is. (In the next chapter that is...)

But is an all-knowing book a weapon if there's more than one copy? If everyone has access to the knowledge then one person can't withhold cures from those in need.

@Kotenmaru Hear, hear. I second that motion.

You have to love the duality of Amelia's intelligence:

On the one hand, as we're reminded of in this chapter, she's the top ranked student in the Special Course for the best of the brightest. It's also been previously stated that she had the best test scores of her year before becoming the only first year to enter the Special Course. On the other hand, "I used to wander alone in the sticks all the time, I'll be fine. Never mind that I was explicitly warned about potential foreign agents making a move during the event. What? You think I should be careful because I could be valuable either as Sarge's assistant or a hostage? I'll be fine".

"They cast a healing spell on the pizza to cure the ham."

The original was: 今ならおいしくなあれの治療魔法もかけてもらえるそうですよ。
-> "Apparently, you can get them to cast a "become delicious" healing spell on it (the pizza)."

In Japan, "[adjective] になあれ (ni naare)" (become [adjective]) is like a make-believe magic spell you use with kids. Often "genki ni naare" -> a spell to cheer them up when they feel down.

So we needed something a little fun and playful that also fit inside a manga bubble, and that kept the healing magic aspect to link it to Evelyn.

I'm all for some world-building, but pretty much nothing happened in the entire volume. That's kinda crazy.

I’m used to potāto vs potahto. This is the first time that I’ve seen PWAtato. I guess that croquettes haven’t been near the other two before… :)

Damn, this part is good. Playing up on people's fears and rage, setting off the trap ever so slowly it is already too late for most by the time people notice? Alia is giving us a treat!

And Dino... you should have learnt to not play with your food, but I guess it is because you are like this that the guild has the people it has. It is now too late, though. Alia doesn't leave loose ends.

"Invincible"...

@karasutengu what, the rebels don't think Nell can handle a monster stampede? Although based on what they were saying I suspect they thought the stampede was going to beat her to the capital and she wasn't going to be there already to stop it.
