Gonna be honest, I can only make out the first kanji in that far back bubble in the panel with Adam's dressing-down and I wasn't able to find any kanji pairings that used the one visible radical of the second kanji, so I winged that one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Waaaaiit.
Adam went with Caligostro route?

Depends on if the body in the flashback is their original or not.

I hate this.

He's not wrong to chew the guy out. As awesome as merchant man is, he does overwork himself to the point of ridiculousness.

Well managed to catch up to this after leaving it alone for several months.

Back to the waiting game it is then.

But you're forgetting the genre. Wholesome as it is, it's still about a sexy elf girl. Even if that character has been established, decades have passed. And here, we got a character in a plague mask, necessitating an unmasking. Unmaskings are for characters we don't know the appearance of.

So even if the mentor is alluded to, "that person" is probably a formal apprentice...and daughter.

Demonic childhood friend go!

You're right, my bad, the demon guy just passed him off to a demonic childhood friend that had no setup.

I was more wrong than right.

I guess it's 脳筋 (muscle brain)

To the commenter who said the friend is a woman, please step forward to claim your prize.

I decline. Parts of it obviously belonged to several women, but there's no way that qualifies.

Man. Everyone catching my translation errors today. I honestly appreciate it. I'll bet you're right on this one.

I mean, the gist of the initial translation was right. Brainless and muscle brain are fairly close in meaning.

I wonder if she knows Kunai from Monster Girl Doctor.

I was thinking Franken Fran.

Ah, was Steak the user that really freaked out about Everyday With Monster Girl's zombie girl, too? Well, if she's a "demi-lich", she's probably all her own original parts, just with some damage that doesn't quite heal...

Yes, he was. And as far as Monster Musume goes, I was proven right about that series the longer it went on.

We had some good times, Mia. Good times...

Did that series actually wrap up? I ended up dropping it when it seemed to progress about as much as the typical romcom- which is to say, not at all.

It peaked at Polt.

Would it be better to leave Merchant-san's name as Kuro-san or something like that. Blackie sounds a bit weird since Adam refering him as a child boi with black hair etc.

I mean, isn't that exactly what Adam's doing? He's known the medicine seller since the latter was a child, after all.
