This chapter show how Shia can be serious like Hajime when the situation calls for it. In fact Tio now see Shia in a new (perverted) light

For the mermaid I think Shia got attached to her and the person who kidnapped the mermaid also left a note that he want Shia in exchange for the mermaid. Now imagine Hajime reaction and what he will do after reading the note.

Next chapter will probably how Hajime kill(torture) the kidnappers though I wonder what Hajime will do to the participants of the Auction

Seriously, this LN is becoming more and more seinen.

[AnimA390]

Spoiler for spoiler:

Hajime and yue are on their way to rescue the mermaid.

Remember Hajime has a car while the only people from the kingdom who know about Hajime, Aiko and co, need to use a normal horse to travel so the kingdom doesn't know about Hajime yet. I think Hajime also almost never reveal his artifacts at any human town before meeting with Aiko.

I don't think think this LN count as shounen anymore after Hajime test his feeling by killing a few guards

Spoiler for :

though the higher ups of the adventurers guild does have some long-distance communication artifacts, since it was faster than Hajime's travel back.
so maybe someone is going to leak it.

I loved the part where Miu nearly breaks him with 'do you hate Miu?'

Does the author mention a side story in his afterword?

I think he's explaining how Wednesday's is going to finish up this small arc. After that, it's back to our beloved heroes (well, beloved may be an exaggeration...)

And I think the little girl is meant to be part of Hajime's group, judging from one sentence in the afterword: 幼女です. It's a little girl! Considering that's all the author said about the subject, it kind of points to her becoming somewhat important, especially seeing as he goes straight to explaining how Hajime has thrown away everything except for his group.

Granted, she could become someone akin to a little sister to Hajime, though the concept of training a little girl to become a man's ideal woman is fairly common in Japanese literature, thanks to the original Japanese harem, Genji Monogatari.

And, of course, she could be like Kunou from Highschool DXD, and be a future local wife for Hajime. A distant future.

Though if she simply sees him as a big brother, I'm perfectly fine with that, and would prefer it that way.

If she started seeing him as an older brother, that would be adorable. I can hear it already: "Hajime Onii-chan, aishiteru wa(I love you)~" and he'd probably end up softening up some to set a good example. (i.e leaving less corpses, or at least not killing in front of her and doing good deeds more often)

Thats good since we finally get to have a side story chapter.

She is certainly an interesting little sister-type character, but Hajime's original objections to taking her with them are still perfectly valid. What are they gonna do, bring her with them into the dungeons? She doesn't seem to have any atypical powers, and even if she did she is a child. Not to mention she was kidnapped and presumably has her own family back home.

The Genji thing isn't that common even in Japanese literature.

Anyway, Hajime and Yue are gonna do the smash of the main base next chapter. If they trot Miu out as a hostage, Hajime will likely take whoever is holding her's arm off before massacring them(well, the massacre is going to happen anyway). Then they will likely choose to take a detour to return her to her family. Then I'm guessing the following chapter will focus on Aiko's return and Kaori resolving to go find him, which I hope only takes 1-2 chapters. I want to get to the next dungeon already.

[Kioras]

He is seriously following the Good is not Dumb, and Good is not Nice standards.

Less Batman, more Punisher style, although they should let some more of them live, as an example to others.

Does have a few advantages, would be slavers would learn to run the hell away from him if they hear he is around.

This may end up having him steadily realize that if he cannot go back, he can make a home for himself here also.

True. Her being in the group would inhibit them quite a bit. Even if she developed an OP ability (somewhat how Yue gained her regenerative abilities at the age of 12), her lack of experience would be a hindrance. But that sentence in the afterword... there's more to the girl then meets the eye.
If there's something, there's always the chance that the kidnappers know about her, and the author hasn't let on on what she can do. If she does have a special ability, the kidnappers may have killed her family. Thus, she has no one left.

Of course that is pure speculation. I do agree that she is too you to join the group. I guess I'm playing devil's advocate.

[omegasereon]

Well she has to somehow join the group cause she is already fond with Hajime onichan and Shia oneechan.

[bakapervert]

If the kid does join and Hajime and co need to explore dangerous area, I'm thinking if he can use his bag of holding to evacuate his weaker party member? Just store the person into the ring and let them back out when its safe. Now that I think about it, maybe he can use his ring to store an army, smuggle them behind enemy line, and then wreck havoc. I wonder if that ring can be used to safely store living thing?

Ps: btw, she is a mermaid right? Won't someone will always need to carry her around in land? Doesn't seem practical. Though I bet having a mermaid in the party will be useful in the future. One of the dungeon will be underwater I bet.

I remember reading that the ring can only hold non-living things, but not certain.

Mermaids are sometimes associated with sirens. I've read a few stories where sailors would fall into the water upon seeing beautiful mermaids, promptly drowning, similar to how sirens would woo sailors close, only to kill them. Sirens had legs, though they were that of a bird.

Then there's Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid", where a mermaid gains legs, though at the cost of excruciating pain.

So, it's not like the little girl can't have legs. The author could easily have merfolk with the ability to change their fish tails into legs if they wish to walk on land.

[bludvein]

She already has legs. I dunno if that's normal for them, but considering nobody was shocked by it I would guess so. She just has slightly webbed fingers(and presumably feet), fan shaped ears, and green hair(which are common traits for them in various fiction).

I'm sure this has been answered before but I'm bad at finding links and info Where can I read the translated version of this light novel? Assuming its translated.

[blankerer]

it's right there in the very first post of the thread.

you really are terrible at it lol

It hasn't really been officially translated, as its not a light novel, but a web novel(aka not published). You can find some assorted summaries and translations earlier in the thread. Dreg did a sort of cleaned up machine translation of the first volume(which you can find here), dunno if he will continue or not.

And the rest of us make use of GT or TA to read this awesome novel.
