Ahahahaha it's probably why Lock gets reminded of his uncle the first they met. Cale is good at motivating others it seems, even without meaning to. He did it with Billos (distracted by Choi Han's arrival) and the escort party (when he was bragging about his Ancient Power discretely). His method of encouragement for the Black Dragon and Choi Han is pretty much the same ("You are a strong and mighty dragon" / "If it's you, you'll have no problem doing it."). While advantageous when it comes to making use of the people around him in a efficient manner, Cale's suave tongue also puts him in all sorts of situations. He really is very similar to the Crown Prince, as much as he might detest the comparison. Self Proclaimed Older Brother Taylor adds fuel to the fire. Cale just can't get a break lmao. That mage is gonna lock in on his red hair no doubt. Good luck, Trash!
Hahaha! Cale is now going to the kingdom's hero now instead of Choi Han. There goes his wish of a peaceful and trouble-free life at the background. Also, Black dragon's joy at saving people is heartwarming. I'm crying now tho because cliffhanger and tomorrow is a rest day for the translator. WHY GOD WHY????!!! (T-T)
Cale fucked up. Our tsundere Trash was forced to use his Ancient Power. He never used his shield from such a distance before so he probably didn't think there'd be a silver light traced back to the owner like a big neon arrow sign pointing at him. Poor Trash, he tried. He really tried. What a softie. He came to the capital because he didn't want his younger brother who he planned to be the heir in his stead be harmed, he gave medicinal herbs to the kittens in their human form when he noticed the older sister having a hard time moving, he felt guilty about snatching Taylor's last hope and directed him to a much reliable Ancient Power, etc. Cale would like to pretend he's detached but he ain't. That's why I call him a manipulative simpleton. Whose arm got caught off I wonder? Is it Cale? But wasn't he protected by three barriers at this point? Did the crazy mage go berserk at his intervention and attacked him like a provoked bull? My sister says the teaser used is Akame ga Kill. Guess I'll have to think of something to occupy me. Huhuhu, what should do? Why can't it be on Saturday instead, at least I have Ultraman R/B then.
Soooo...from what I understand...Cale used his shield to surround the bomber and contain the explosion. Black dragon reinforced Cale's shield by adding another barrier layer. Rosalyn put up a barrier around herself and Cale. So the most probable people who will get hurt are the Northeastern nobles (Eric, Amiru, and Gilbert) and Taylor who are all beside Cale because they are unshielded. But they're probably not going to be injured that much because I trust that Cale's shield and Black Dragon's barrier to contain the explosion. The question is, what happened to the other bomber? The one that was going to the King's side? Hopefully the royal magicians have barriers as sturdy as Cale's group. On that note, it's heartwarming that Rosalyn and Black Dragon chose to protect Cale instead of the royalty. I have no doubt about the Black Dragon because he loves his savior very much (even though he's being tsundere about it) but for Rosalyn to also come over?
Oh, the use of shield is numbered? Like there is a countdown until it's permanently used up? I thought it's like he can only use it 2 times a day or something like that.
I thought that he was making a comment like 'limited edition ancient shield' or something along those lines.
His shield can be used as often as he likes untill it takes too much dmg. After taking too much dmg it'll break and disappear for a while.
So true. and let's not forget the villager in Neo territory. He say he doesn't care about people suffering as long as it's not in front of his eyes or anyone he responsible, but in reality, he could just leave the village before the dragon goes berserk or sending Choi Han after the dragon goes berserk, but it doesn't even cross his mind (he said the option are "Either Choi Han takes care of it or I prevent it from going crazy and find a way to release it" which mean he doesn't consider leaving the villager alone) Also same for the first time he woke up, he was asking about date to Ron which unfortunately already past the date he can save Harris villager. Even though he keep saying don't care, he is still don't leave people alone when he can. Though he would probably deny it by making many excuses.
Henituse heir is too small and insignificant a role for the greatest tras.... heir to the Shield Bro to ever emerge from Light Novel-dom. I am thinking something like "Prince Consort" or "Royal Hero in the Shadows" (or both) will be the more appropriate roles forced on him
Nope, the main point is that Cale basically got trolled by Rosalyn and the Dragon, since only his shield is visible and everyone will think he is overpowered (and with Taylor who can't read the mood and kept bothering him around...). As for the other, we don't know, they are probably safe or saved by the crown prince.
Spoiler: text wall C1: ‘I guess that guy is me.’ That's a seriously calm reaction. Was he told that he was transmigrating, or does the author simply not understand how a normal person would react in that situation? "Once he got past the point of shock" What shock? Why does he keep thinking he'll get beaten up? As long as he doesn't provoke the hero, there's no reason for him to be beaten. Heck, he could even ally with the hero as a fellow transmigrator if the hero is the trustworthy sort. “... As long as I make the story proceed like normal while taking out the fact that I get beaten up, the main character will take care of the rest.” That seems like a bad plan if his territory is bound for war in the original plotline. The hero isn't the only possible source of pain or death after all. You know, this meal brings to mind the fact that he's completely unaware of this world's nobility's etiquette. Unless Cale had a habit of completely ignoring etiquette, this would be more than enough to raise suspicions. Though, I've never seen that particular fact used in any of these novels, sadly. It feels like they've already noticed something else though. I expect it's the way he's speaking. C3: "The trash, Cale Henituse, never cared for etiquette anyways." Cool. Most series don't even bother to acknowledge that this might be a problem, and those that do usually make the MC great at it for flimsy reasons. "It is about equivalent to 10 million Korean won" Wouldn't that only be like 10 thousand dollars? For a truly rich family, that's really not that much. Even the worst new car costs at least twice that much, and they'd never be caught dead driving a vehicle that cheap. “This, we have not been able to do our morning cleaning of the study just yet.” I'm betting it's more like "We never thought you'd step foot in that room, so it hasn't been cleaned in years." C8: ‘There is no need to be recorded in history. Just live for peace and happiness.’ This feels like the perfect family for him to have obtained C10: I keep expecting someone to attack those two kids for the bread. That aside, I wonder if those two kids are the two kittens. Honestly, it seems really likely. C11: I was half expecting the super power to come with a free ghost spirit that would bond to him and require food at awkward moments C12: “...Young master, you are going to keep a promise?” lol. Wow. Just how unreliable was the original Cale? Just how small are these volumes that it takes three of them just to get to the capital? Or is this going to be an extremely eventful trip? lol. I hope Ron hates it as much as the MC does C13: He really should have been more specific than "be useful." I don't think he'll be terribly happy if they take that to mean "train with Ron." C14: "How great would it be to quickly come back from the capital and live the life of a couch potato?" This feels like a flag. I wonder if he won't be able to return for years, or if he won't be allowed to be a couch potato once he does return. Also wondering if Hans is just not allowed to have cats due to being a butler. If that's not the case, then why he doesn't already have a dozen? C15: Unless the MC is gay, he should probably be hoping right now that Choi Han isn't either C17: Won't it be highly suspicious if they stay for three days? C18: I wonder why he didn't recognize the assassin outfit. Were the people that attacked the village not wearing their uniforms? C20: Why is he using Choi Han's real name? What if someone were to wake up and hear it? Did they retrieve the orb, or are they planning to do that later for some reason? lol. He's definitely getting a dragon. I wonder how upset he'll be That aside, I love this method of giving him an OP pet so much more than the usual methods. C21: “We are going to pretend like we don’t know.” rofl. C22: “We arrived right before the Rock Tower Festival season, so the room was not that expensive.” Why would the price be lower when demand is higher? C23: ‘Unless their lord has nothing to do and reveals me to them, there is no way that they will recognize me.’ lol. That ship's already sailed C25: “What? What do you want? Just chuck it away if you don’t want it.” Is he trying to make Choi Han nostalgic for tsunderes? I wonder if they'll want to travel to the capital with him C26: "Just one knight, a subordinate, who also served as the driver, and the two of them, Cage and Taylor." Didn't he have three servants? ‘There’s no way young master Cale will order us around like that damn temple.’ lol. So naive C29: "They had never seen Cale while working at the residence. " Wasn't it said previously that he had gone to the capital from time to time until two years ago? C30: I wonder if the cat's will have to suffer like this too. C32: I wonder if the secret organization was trying to capture the wolves to replace the dragon and mend relations with the Marquis. C33: He's totally going to regret that last promise. I can just feel it. C36: I wonder when the dragon will get a name, and if he'll give it to himself or get it from Cale. C37: I wonder why the kids are always in cat form. Do they not like their human forms? C38: "Cale sounds like a Lannister." I can certainly see the comparison to Tyrion, but honestly, he reminds me of Lord John Marbury from West Wing. Or at least, he reminds me of who LJM might have been when he was younger. C39: I wonder if his hair color is tied to his healing power. That is, if he uses the power, would his hair change color? If so, with them having built it up as some sort of god's favor, the change could have serious political consequences. Of course, that was always going to happen anyway when he got old enough for his hair to grey, or even earlier if he were the sort of person who had a different hair color as an adult than as a child. C42: I thought the point in seeking investments from the crown was to get more money in the territory? If they build the base themselves, then how will it generate revenue? Or are they just hoping that the increased security will have a knock-on effect of increasing trade during the war? I really thought the prince would string Taylor along for a while. I wonder why he trusts him enough to pay him in advance, or if he felt that he had to so that Taylor could inherit his father's title sooner. C43: Why would the bombs have alarms on them? That seems quite contrary to their purpose. Also wondering why the prince's disguise wasn't blown by the mana disruptor. Or, has it just not been mentioned yet? C44: So, did everyone focus on blocking the bomb headed for Cale and ignore the one headed to the royal family? Regardless, it's going to be quite hard for him to claim to be trash after this. Even if he manages it, the secret organization will probably still target him.
You just can't beat the black dragon charming yet bloody word. That said, it's good seeing our MC would use it for his own benefit rather than just brush the reward off.. The important part is to protect other, but who can say we shouldn't get a compensation for it Choi Han would be berserk toward Redika for harming our MC. looking forward for that
Black Dragon's speech is really heartwarming even though it's violent. I couldn't help but say "Awwww..." And by its speech, it seems like it made Cale its own reason for existence. Seeing how everyone in his team reacted, if by chance Cale gets gravely injured, whoever injured Cale will surely get killed a hundred times over. At this point though, I think it will be impossible to gravely injure Cale. After this incident, his team will probably all act like Mama bears and tightly guard Cale. Not to mention his OP shield and instant regen powers that will let him regrow ripped out limbs. I actually thought Redika will go berserk at Cale's red hair. That would have been interesting. Instead, he just ran away lol. And I also thought Cale will still try to deny everything. Instead though, he was trying to milk some money out of it. Hahahaha. Also, the crown prince seems to be planning something. Here comes some more scheming!
