thank you for clarifying @Boomburst !

@RedScaleWyrm This is a spoiler about the other heroes, at least based on the WN Spoiler

Basically, the reason why the waves occur is the universe trying to brute-force "balance" in the grander multiverse. Part of why the waves are able to occur is if said world is unstable. The reason it is unstable is that the world Naofumi is in is actually two. Originally, demi-humans didn't exist in their world until the demi-human dimension merged with the human one, creating the world they are in. So, the amount of time between the waves will increase if they start killing people, and eventually stop if they kill enough. In the case of the L'arc and crew, they didn't want to kill people in their own verse, so they decided to kill the heroes of another and allow that world to die, which will cause a similar effect on a grander scale instead of just a single world.

Why I hate Bow so damn much
Spoiler

If I recall correctly, at least based on the WN, he actually waited until their situation got bad enough so he could swoop in and be seen as a hero instead of being a proper damn hero and nipping the problem in the bud.

That man did something to her!! And reality isn't that much fiction like you know... her home may have been suffering now... and this time is it going to be a daughter or is he again going to become a rearer??

It's really easy Naofumi... so far all your trusted companions are lolis... FIND A NEW LOLI COMPANION. Trust me on this one.

This chapter is interesting, so they've been fighting another isekai? With 4 heroes in said isekai?

Wish this manga got updated more often. The wait is just killing me.

@Disappointed

Believe me, the story is far from over, so the pace this is taking, a little too slow but, it's right.

Who tf made Risha cry?! Let me at 'em!! >:d

@Disappointed

I can agree with you there, and at the same time the length of prep time for release makes it 'feel' so much longer than it really is.
Currently I'm trying to cycle 4 'isekai' series between weeks so it doesn't feel like so long...

Tate
danmachi
sword oratoria
mushuko Tensei

Just enough to keep the 1 a month pace...

@RedScaleWyrm

Not exactly. Its more like... (serious spoiler here)

Spoiler

Did you read the marvel comics when worlds where colliding and they finally had the apocalypse between 'Ultimate universe' and the 'common universe' ? I think it was 'earth 616 and 1610 ... but I digress.

It's a choice, our world or another world crashing into our existence, think of a Newton's Cradle where all balls are tied to the same central point, and normally they all maintain a specific coordinate, but occasionally one gets misaligned. You want to save your world, they want to save theirs. This is the crux of the story IMO. Keep in mind this isn't THE ONLY TIME Waves have happened, its happened numerous times in the past as well.

Sometimes I feel like a monthly release is not enough for this manga. The long wait between chapters means forgetting about key moments and loosing the tension. IMO, this manga is best read continuously one chapter after the another.

Despite the slow developments, I'm still hyped for the inevitable reality punch to the face of the other 3 heroes. Especially that dickhead Itsuki.

please put spoiler tag for anything beyond from this chapter

@DexHaunter thanks. did they mention whether their mission was explicitly to kill the Four Heroes? (like what if they abduct one of 'em or somethin')

@RedScaleWyrm If I remember well it wasn't specified but they are from the other world across the cracks and it's like their mission in order to save their own world or something.

This reason of her tears (and ours) is called
Cliff-kun

Can anyone spoil me why they (L'arc's party) want to kill the four heroes and what happens if they do? (story went for so long, i've probably forgotten if they did cite their reason)

Cliffhanging a boring development doesn't make it more relatable.

@GruntZone360

He doesn’t do it all on his own, h does get help, just... not from where you’d expect the REAL help to come from.

We a looooong way from the final wave incursion however.

I'm liking this series more and more, glad it grew out of its edgyness even a little bit

Just put the spoiler inside tags.

@SuppeBargeld
They can't be worse than cockroaches. Now, those things are brutal!

Damn is the writer really planning having the shield hero do all the work? xd
