@mismarca Oh, good old Zersetzung. Yet another inhumane technique.

@feha
That is not what happened though, the first impression was how he talked to her and that he was not being rude nor snobbish towards her even though she is a prisoner and he is supposed to be the guard.
Not to say kidnapping and selling people is his job and there is nothing wrong with using money to buy drinks doesn't where the money comes from. Take it this way: Someone comes to buy something from you and you know the money comes from a bank robbery, would you refuse to sell because of it? Because it doesn't matter where the money came from it has the same value.

What I got was that the "friendly" remark was in response to the replacement guard's demeanour. What kind of kidnapper answers an abductee's questions like that?

@feha Kaoru only said he looked friendly, not a "good" person.

Looks like those guys are the unluckiest kidnappers on the planet. What are the chances their target will turn out to be the goddess' friend?

ah yes the classic "Singing Frog"
an oldie but a goodie

@mahtan My problem is that she considers kidnapping (and drinking with the money you get from selling slaves) as a Good character trait that makes you a nice guy. Not that she assumed a personality from a first impression, but rather that the first impression in this case only shows her traits of his that - while not something that means he is evil - shouldn't be equated/correlated with being nice.

@feha
Yes, that's what I said. Just because someone is "evil" doesn't mean they can't be friendly.
Your original comment gave the idea that you thought she was saying the guy is not "evil" when she said he was "good" and then in the second comment you say you understand that being evil doesn't mean someone can't be friendly or civilized...
I don't even know anymore what was your problem in the original comment...
But from the second comment your problem was that she assumed the guy personality from their first interaction, which is totally realistic to do and something everyone does so much that we have a whole philosophy on how important first impressions are.

@Pachka84
?????? what????
I'm more confused that mad lol.

@mahtan Depends on definition of bad, but you missed my point. I were saying that from all she knew of the guy (the first sentence), she decided to state that he was a good guy. That means the information in that sentence allowed her to draw the conclusion that he was good, not that he was possibly not evil.
tl;dr there is a difference between labeling someone as good/friendly, and refraining from labeling them as bad.

@feha
Well while he may be a criminal because "kidnapping small children" and all that does not make him a "bad" person, just happens that his job is a immoral one.

"he kidnaps young children to sell them into slavery, spending his money on drinking when he has free-time. Seems like a good person by my japanese moral framework!" This sentence makes me wonder what the hell kind of ethics and morals are taught over there.

Thank you for the fast update !

What a terrible personality. I love it!

@mismarca I'm sure it hurts that soft little head of yours to see someone like something that you hate, dear. But you are going to have to stop trolling the manga you don't like if you don't want to get frustrated by my comments anymore 😀😁😀

In the meantime, I'm loving how Kaoru is making those disgusting pedophiles go as nuts as my comments are making you.

IIRC in the LN she refered to it as an organization based around kidnapping beautiful girls nothing about lolis?

lolololololol
what a troll

After the idiocy of the last chapter but one, this is Funa going strong again. "Huh? Didn't we have it from the beginning." :D Hilarious.

@AbuHajaar How can you lose what you don't have?
