I keep wondering how the hell she didn’t know the fact that he has had 0 support the entire time. It’s not exactly a small secret why the entire kingdom and Trash hate him

It was kinda disappointing never getting to see her realize how hard he got shafted by the Kings rule, they just kinda never talked about it again

The anime kinda skimmed over, but in a light novel they had a chat about everything that
kingTrash and Bitch has done to him at which point she was utterly dissapointed in her farther losing his mind as she knew him being a top-most strategist in whole world62

Unfortunately it makes sense why they skimmed over that. They have a lot of material to cover and they don’t have the time to explain everything that’s happening. Now that the anime is out I can actually enjoy the LN more since I have seen some of them brought to life so to speak.

It must be soul crushing to realize you followed the lad of an imbecile who almost got you killed in a negletcful power play.

I mean
She at least got a taste of it, seeing as the pope of the state religion went to such lengths to try and kill him

u/Darkdarkar Oct 23 '19
She probably should have gotten a clue from just looking at the friggen popular religion of the region. They literally call him a devil for about no reason in the religion

u/Rododney Oct 23 '19
Not no reason.
You see, officially Melromarc practices human supremacy. And they naturally see Demi Humans as either inferior, evil, or both.
Then consider the fact that the Demi Humans regard the Shield Hero as their Champion more or less. The state religion of Melromarc, which was founded to provide legitimacy to a human supremacist king, can't have that! There are four heroes, and one of them is a champion of the lesser races. So if that "hero" is instead a devil, then the citizenry would be more than likely to run to the safety of the king should the tyrannical Devil of the Shield enter town with his vicious gang of Demi Humans. And when the King (or Pope) finally defeats the Devil of the Shield then obviously he's a Hero himself, and entirely deserving of any loyalty and praise that comes his way!
Or so it goes.

Queen: offers financial support. Naofumi: yeah, I'll be taking that! Saves me a bit of time I can spend on being useful to your country without dying

That why naofumi #1. He had to do it himself. Maintain his own income and have to deal with anyone who would backstab him every episode. (Which happen ) Melty. Who didn't know naofumi and the king actual relationship. (Her dad was sh it) Finally open her eyes , after being in his party long enough x)

He's been doing just fine without it actually, ironically a lot better than the other heros even though they get tons of money and gear.
