    This does not bode well… Please don’t kill off the House member who seems like a ton of fun.

      I don’t think he’s killing him, maybe because that could draw too much suspicion. I do think he must be ensuring that he stay ill.

        I don’t know. He may plan on poisoning Guildmaster Persson and then conveniently blame it on the nurse.

          Some how I don’t even think Persson is ill. It was rather convenient he got miners lung just as the houses were consolidating their power. I wouldn’t him count out yet: He’s likely to have something up those massive sleeves of his.

            I wouldn’t doubt a drill or a pickaxe, but something that can save him? My doubts…

              Well both Iwatani and Persson are part of the original Alutruist conspiracy, so there might be mroe going on here.

                It’s a split in the Alutruist! They are breaking into Alutruist ‘Some Cardinal Direction’ and Alutruist ‘The Opposite Cardinal Driection’. Soon they will begin a cold civil war within Gastonian as they battle over ultimate power over the population.

                    And is the Cardinal of the Church in on this?…If so, on which side?

      I hope it’s a fake-out. It seems way too obvious for Iwatani. What, he’s just going to poison a guy in broad daylight during a house visit?

      Ehh… If he wanted to kill him, coming to do it personally would be kind of stupid. Just pay off the nurse to dribble poison in his ear or hire a ninja death squad to come in the night. I mean, these guys probably have ninja death squads on speeddial.

          Yeah, that’d help with the already crappy public perception of adventurers. Still, it’d probably pay better than collecting rabbit tails or whatever fetch quests are available.

    I can’t wait for the reveal that he’s NOT poisoning this guy, and is instead just really good friends with him after all.

    Then they both discuss murdering Ardaic!

        Good point. Persson is Mining, and there’s a shovel on the wall, and the “ancestor” paintings are bearded figures, like Persson.

    Iwatani might be an ambitious slimeball who lets his son get away with literal murder, but I gotta respect a man who takes time to be pleasant with the powerless. I’ve seen the dude sweating in the fields, leading the formation of consensus in council, and showing respect to people who can’t hurt him. Not exactly your one-dimensional Machiavellian Prince.

    Just another reason I follow this comic novel.

    Maybe Persson ran into some radium or something in the mines and as a result has come down with a bad case of consumption (leukemia).

      Consumption, as the name implies, is an archaic name for detoriation of the lungs, and most commonly used to indicate tuberculosis. ‘Miner’s lung’ shares some characteristics with TBC though.
