Bully her! You know you want to! |
Onward to Akiba!
So we get some nice culture shock. This is the first time we
appreciate the reaction of one of the People of the Land to the city the
adventurers have set up.
I particularly liked the part when she realized the Adventurers’s
were not uneducated. We take stuff like reading a map for granted, but that
sure as hell wasn’t the case in the past.
Reading a map is actually pretty tough. We just happen to
grow up with them. Education and all.
Which low born people didn’t get. Nobles and rich people get
educated. Commoners don’t. Division of classes. The city of Akihabara
is pretty far out from the princess’ comfort zone in more than one way.
As an aside, a princess dressed in Valkyrie armor is a dream
come true.
The Speech
I really like her speech. It has that honest quality to it
that’s really hard to find. Lenessia is really something in her own way.
Plus, who could say no to such a cute girl asking for help.
Monsters. Battle. A beautiful girl. Being a hero.
If they had said no to all of that, they ‘d have to turn in
their Adventurer card.
Also, that moment when they were all banging their weapons
against the ground was badass.
To War!
The other stuff
Party! |
Nobles and their silly politics.
So yeah, now they’re thinking there are under the table
deals going on, what with the Adventurer’s backing the princess and all.
You know, with them bickering so much against each other it
is a wonder anything gets done. Seriously, how has this alliance survived so
far?
Did they just sit on their asses and let the Izumo knight take care of
whatever big, bad wolf knocked on their doorstep?

ReplyDeleteThat sounds exactly like what they did, which in of itself would explain why they reacted so strongly to their disappearance.
Sadly, that's probably it, which explains why they are incompetent. Well, that and the Adventurers being people now. That's like having your Terminators suddenly start a union.
