Chapter 204: Unannounced Storm

The Kuzunoha Company’s representative is going to come to Limia Kingdom.
This is small news.
For a company that has its headquarters at a foreign country to go through the trouble of going to Limia to say its greetings is relatively rare, and for the many knights and nobles, it is a happening that isn’t given much attention, or at least that’s how it is supposed to be.
They took it as a simple merchant trying to get on their good sides, and the representative of the company in question was half with that intention.
The merchants that have stores in Limia have already asked for information about the Kuzunoha Company from the Rotsgard Merchant Guild, and there were many nobles that were indifferent to it.
The Kuzunoha Company currently doesn’t have the intention of establishing in Limia, and in this time, they were simply going because the Limia royal family had wished for it. They heard that the Kuzunoha Company doesn’t have any big business plan prepared.
At most, in terms of movement, a part of the people that are interested in information are thinking about creating a connection with the Kuzunoha Company in the time of their stay.
However, for a limited few, this matter held a big meaning.
From the Limia side, it is Prince Joshua and hero Hibiki. And there’s also the Hopelace household.
The Limia King also has a relative interest in the Kuzunoha Company and the representative Raidou.
In the side of Kuzunoha Company, there’s Raidou’s follower, Mio who has something hidden within her.
For them, it was already clear that they will be meeting with an ulterior motive of their own.
And then they arrived at the appointed day.
Raidou, Mio, and Lime; those three headed to Limia in a morning with good weather.
At the teleport formation managed by the Academy, Raidou’s group was being seen off by the Kuzunoha Company members.
The teleportation to Limia’s state border was prepared, and from there, a carriage travel was waiting for them.
“Waka, please be careful.”
“Yeah, I will do my best, Tomoe. I won’t be showing my face in Asora, so I will be leaving that part to you.” (Makoto)
“Yes.” (Tomoe)
“Waka-sama, I will be taking care of the Academy matters, so I am counting on you for the selection. I will make sure to always be ready to receive your thought transmission, so if there’s anything that you need to consult about, don’t hesitate to.” (Shiki)
“I will probably rely on you a number of times. Thanks, Shiki.” (Makoto)
While nodding, there was a slight hesitation in the state of Shiki.
He looked like he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he didn’t say it.
“Please leave the store to us.”
“I have perfectly gotten used to dealing with customers. I have obtained the skill [Devilish Clerk], so go ahead with the mood of being on board of a boat.”
“Akua and Eris, I am counting on you.” (Makoto)
“But well, if the souvenirs are going to be bananas, make sure the boat is big.” (Eris)
“Well then, I will be going.” (Makoto)
Ignoring the utterance of Eris, or more like, without paying attention to her words, Raidou followed Mio, and Lime and entered the building with the teleport formation.
“To think that he would use [Ignore] on me…What a high-class skill. I didn’t know Waka had learned such a skill.” (Eris)
“There’s no bananas in Limia, Eris.” (Aqua)
“…And compared to that, what an obvious retort. The level of Akua is low. It seems like there’s the need to go back to the basics with ‘what’s up with that?’.” (Eris)
The two Forest Onis that have gone to see them off had begun a friendly quarrel.
There were none who tried to stop it.
“Shiki, it seems like there’s something in your mind.” (Tomoe)
“…No.” (Shiki)
“Waka and Mio are not here, and I have something I want you to hear. Lend me your time.” (Tomoe)
Telling Akua and Eris to make it in time to open the store, Tomoe took Shiki and changed locations.
To an empty location in the Academy that is silent and is not being used.
“This place is fine. For these past few days you haven’t been acting like yourself. Shiki, at the time of the farewell as well, you looked like you had something in your mind, you know?” (Tomoe)
“…Is that so. It is true that I am busy, but I think I am as always though.” (Shiki)
“I feel like you are self-aware of it though. Also, the matter about Waka going with Mio to Limia, you accepted it way too easily.” (Tomoe)
“That was…uhm…Mio-dono persuaded me in a variety of ways and…” (Shiki)
“Physically?” (Tomoe)
“…No. Ah, I-I will leave it to your imagination.” (Shiki)
“In my side, I had a slight dispute with Mio, and I was a bit interested in your thoughts.” (Tomoe)
“My thoughts?” (Shiki)
Shiki returns the words of Tomoe as a question.
In the first place, Tomoe and Mio having friction was news to him.
“About how you think of Waka -no, that’s not it. What do you want Waka to become-ja?” (Tomoe)
“Waka-sama?” (Shiki)
“The reason of you acting weird might actually be because of that. It seemed like you are getting way too involved with the Rotsgard students after all.” (Tomoe)
“!! Something like that is…not true.” (Shiki)
Shiki was clearly shaken, and it was practically like saying ‘that’s true’.
“Especially what you did to that girl called Amelia. Depending on the reason, it is something that can be taken as a joke, you know?” (Tomoe)
“Why do you—?!” (Shiki)
“I coincidentally saw that girl, and within her head, it was completely filled in pink. She was truly happy, but the details were something that I can’t ignore. I didn’t expect you to be related to it.” (Tomoe)
“…”
“Now that I think about it, there’s practically no commonness in what we wish for Waka. It is certain that there’s no ‘I want to cooperate with the Goddess and make this world a paradise to hyumans’, though. Even if there’s no antagonistic feelings towards Waka, within our group, there are times when we oppose each other, and I am beginning to think that it is a matter of course.” (Tomoe)
“That’s impossible. We have originated from the control pact, we are Waka-sama’s followers. There’s no way we would be able to do acts that would go against our master.” (Shiki)
“You telling those things to that girl as if they were the words of Waka, depending on the way it is taken, that can be considered a betrayal to Waka. There’s no absolutes. Even if we don’t go against Waka, there’s plenty possibility that we oppose each other, right?” (Tomoe)
“!! I wouldn’t do something like betraying Waka-sama! That was something I did while thinking of the good of that girl and Waka-sama and…” (Shiki)
“But that manner of speech, didn’t Amelia certainly get a bad impression of Waka?” (Tomoe)
It is certainly true that Shiki had done a severe criticism to Amelia as words of Raidou.
At that time, he took the position of soothing Amelia.
That could be taken as an act of betrayal to Raidou.
“Tomoe-dono, that’s not it. Until then, I had already given plenty enough praise to her. In a sense, my role is to give self-confidence. That’s why, to play the bad guy in only that moment would go against the class policy that Waka-sama had set before.” (Shiki)
“But in the first place, those were not the words of Waka, right? It is true that you have lied-ja. That fact doesn’t change, you know?” (Tomoe)
“The evaluation that Waka-sama gave to Amelia was way too harsh for Amelia at that moment. It is true that I falsified it, but for the one receiving the lessons, there’s something harsher than a severe criticism. And so, I decided to tell her the conclusion of my own analysis of her faults as if they were Waka-sama’s words.” (Shiki)
“…How did Waka evaluate her?” (Tomoe)
“Normal, it seems. Things like she asks a lot, a mobile professor, she talks a lot. Anyways, it seems like he didn’t have much interest in her and there wasn’t much impression of her.” (Shiki)
“…”
“Waka-sama has placed notations on the students depending on their special traits and has an understanding on them, but in principle, he sees the students as people to instruct techniques, and doesn’t hold further interest or emotions than that. Waka-sama and them are close in age, and it is certainly true that at first, he said that he would draw a line, but…I thought that in time it would grow vague. However, that didn’t happen at all.” (Shiki)
Shiki opened up.
He spoke of the emotions that took shape at that time he was talking to Makoto about the students’ evaluation and their employment.
“Even so, it didn’t turn into something like a master-disciple relationship, and he has been acting as a simple teacher doing his job. I thought that even if Waka-sama doesn’t go too far with Jin, Amelia, and the others, they would be able to reach a relationship of teacher and student close to that of friendship…no, I began to wish for that to happen.” (Shiki)
“Teacher and student huh.” (Tomoe)
“Do you understand, Tomoe-dono? The most painful thing for the people that earnestly want to learn from their respected teacher. It is…not criticism; it is unconcern. Not being interested in them, and being dealt with in the same way as the others. That’s how it is. Or at least, that’s how I think it is.” (Shiki)
“Is this something that you can tell because you were a hyuman before being a Lich and had been in the path of research? I feel like you are reading into it a bit too much though.” (Tomoe)
“I don’t know. But after obtaining the body of a hyuman again and being in a learning environment once more, it is the truth that I…have grown attached to my students.” (Shiki)
“Good grief, that was a miscalculation. Isn’t that the total opposite then?” (Tomoe)
“…Tomoe-dono?” (Shiki)
“And so, you showed a severe criticism that would be ‘similar’ to that of Waka that has been playing the bad guy, have Amelia think that Waka has interest in her, and that he has been properly analysing her ability. You are saying that you wanted that girl to think in that way?” (Tomoe)
“…Yes.” (Shiki)
Shiki nods at the words of Tomoe.
Shiki was bothered by what Tomoe said of ‘opposite’, but he decided to first affirm her words.
“And so, you planted at the bottom of her heart that in her current state she would die if she were to enter our place, and you showed her your feelings of wanting to avoid that.” (Tomoe)
“No, that’s not it.” (Shiki)
“It is. What a troublesome man-ja na, to think that you haven’t noticed it.” (Tomoe)
“…”
“In the first place, Waka has no interest in Amelia, so if that woman wants to work, it would be okay to just have her stay somewhere close to you and the problem would be solved.” (Tomoe)
“But then it would end up as Amelia dying a pointless death… Waka-sama will probably…not give her a special treatment.” (Shiki)
“True. But what’s wrong about dying pointlessly? Isn’t it just one woman, who doesn’t know her place, dying?” (Tomoe)
“Wha…” (Shiki)
“This is something that you would have said before heading to Rotsgard. That was my miscalculation. Seriously…the reason why you showed antipathy towards my words just now was because you are holding the lives of all your students dearly, or maybe just that one girl-ja ro ga.” (Tomoe)
“?!! I feel that much towards those kids?” (Shiki)
With a face as if receiving a shock, Shiki mutters as if groaning.
In a pretty weak voice.
“Good grief, the men at our place are all blockheads in the important parts. It makes me think that the consistent denseness of Waka is better.” (Tomoe)  
Tomoe mutters in a truly amazed manner.
“I am amazed that everything was right on the mark. In that case, your attitude towards Waka just now was mostly you wanting to say a complain because he so easily threw all the matters of the students to you?” (Tomoe)
“To make a complain to Waka-sama, there’s no way!! But, it is certainly true. I did think about why he didn’t say a single thing about Jin and the others. Those kids straightforwardly follow mine and Waka-sama’s lecture. In that case, we should also show our sincerity—” (Shiki)
The words of Shiki were stopped by Tomoe who had gotten closer.
“Shiki.” (Tomoe)
“…What is it?” (Shiki)
“Do you remember me saying ‘opposite’?” (Tomoe)
“Y-Yes.” (Shiki)
“You see, I thought that when Waka becomes like you, I wanted you to do a follow-up so that Waka doesn’t go too far. That’s why I agreed in you accompanying him to Rotsgard.” (Tomoe)
“Waka-sama…becoming like me?” (Shiki)
“That’s right-ja. If it is you, I thought that it wouldn’t become that way-ja. But it seems I have splendidly missed.” (Tomoe)
In a distance where their faces were practically touching, Tomoe spoke to Shiki with an extremely low voice.
It was a low volume, but it was a voice that had a silent pressure.
“That’s why it is the ‘opposite’ huh. I got into it, and Waka-sama remained unchanged.” (Shiki)
“That’s right-ja.” (Tomoe)
“But why was it me?” (Shiki)
“…You are being way too stupid-ja na, Shiki. You are not telling me that you don’t remember what you did before becoming Waka’s follower, right? Even if you obtain the body of a hyuman, your past doesn’t disappear, you know? Can’t you remember? What you did as a Lich to the people in the whole world.” (Tomoe)
“!!”
“Hyumans, demi-humans, beasts; just how many lives did you steal for the sake of your researches? Just how many were sacrificed for experiments that in the end didn’t show the results you wanted?” (Tomoe)
It was just as Tomoe said.
And the knowledge of those times were related to the last resort Shiki had with Amelia.
There’s not enough data, is what Shiki said, but in truth, Shiki has experience in tampering hyumans. If Amelia really doesn’t have enough power and can’t reach the objective, Shiki intended to just strengthen her safely to that line with the knowledge he had.
To forget the roots of that knowledge is truly something strange.
“Uh…” (Shiki)
“If you were in a learning environment in the past and Rotsgard had a similar atmosphere, and there are talented students who are diligently learning, something of your long past might have resurfaced. But it is impossible to forget what happened in between-ja yo.” (Tomoe)
“That’s…I haven’t forgotten about it though.” (Shiki)
“Then you should understand why I gave you that role even without me saying everything, right? What color are those hands of yours? Are those the hands of someone that can pat the head of his students?” (Tomoe)
“…”
Being told that, Shiki lowers his gaze and looks at both of his hands.
He understood plenty what Tomoe was trying to tell him.
“…Fuuh. Well, if I was talking with Mio, she would innocently say: ‘They are beautiful though, is there a problem?’, but it is different with you.” (Tomoe)
“True…it is true that I was way too festive. It seems like I have felt something no less than attachment towards the students.” (Shiki)
Tomoe takes distance, and the condemning atmosphere disappeared.
Placing Mio as an example, she melted the tension of Shiki.
“I was able to read an approximate of what you wish from Waka. You want to cancel the ‘hyuman discrimination’ that Waka has, right?” (Tomoe)
“…Yes. So Tomoe-dono also noticed it huh.” (Shiki)
Shiki affirms the words of Tomoe.
Discrimination.
It is a word that doesn’t fit Makoto that much.
“Well, yeah. Waka has declared that he won’t discriminate demi-humans and he is putting it in practice, but he is discriminating practically all the hyumans. The direct reason might be because of the idiots that went crazy in Asora though. But he has Rembrandt who he has been socializing with before that.” (Tomoe)
“Yes, he has already closed his heart and creating a clear line, and on top of that, it seems like he is keeping his speech and conduct in check. There have been several times when he has remained as a spectator in Rotsgard ‘because they are hyumans’. That part has become a plus appraisal for Rona.” (Shiki)
“It is troublesome because he is doing it unconsciously-ja na. It is certainly true that I want to reduce that part of his as well-ja.” (Tomoe)
“As I thought, it is really unconsciously. Waka-sama is normally against the very word of discrimination after all.” (Shiki)
“That’s the kind of education he was given. That it is bad to change the way of seeing someone because of the color of their body, their different traits, or traits that they are missing.” (Tomoe)
“What a kind teaching.” (Shiki)
“Yeah. But the matter with Waka and the hyumans is complicated. There’s the matter with the Goddess as well, and in the first place, the hyumans in this world are blessed with position and power. There’s no few amount of people that would think it is fine for hyumans to face some pain after being in the position of other demi-humans. Even if we explain it normally to Waka, it will probably serve only to scratch the surface.” (Tomoe)
“It is certainly true that in this world, hyuman discrimination is not a word I have heard.” (Shiki)
“In that point, I am not sure about it, but I am slightly expecting something from Hibiki. They are both Japanese, and if it is that girl, there’s the chance that she will be able to change the will of Waka properly. Well, she will definitely do something unnecessary, so I will have Mio -no, Lime work as a suspension though.” (Tomoe)
“In my perspective, that girl is like strong medicine that’s close to being a gamble.” (Shiki)
“I already know that it is a gamble. But I…am honestly unsure if what I have done for Waka until now has been good or bad.” (Tomoe)
“…Different from me, Tomoe-dono has been acting for the sake of Waka-sama. From what I have seen, you are protecting that person as if you were connected by blood.” (Shiki)
Shiki speaks out his true feelings.
Tomoe was directing a different emotion from that of serving the man she loves, towards Makoto. Shiki thought that way.
It was a deep affection, like that of a brother and sister with a big difference in age.
What was troubling Tomoe, surprised Shiki.
“But since the time Waka came to this world, he has certainly been walking a path different from those other kids that were living peacefully as well. If we just say that it is because of how they were raised, the talk would be over, but I have been wondering if there was a better method, that maybe I have only been covering the eyes of Waka. The insecurity is killing me.” (Tomoe)
“This is not a world where we can live by not killing anyone, not hurting, or causing any problems. Waka-sama touching common sense and changing in some way in this new world is something that’s unavoidable. Of course, I don’t think it is the fault of anyone.” (Shiki)
“Waka is…doing his best. Even though he was a person that thought of only looking at the big world, he has been forcefully pushed to the stage, and he is now looking for peace in that space. Even though he was originally not a person who had the strength to swim in that ocean-like world.” (Tomoe)
“…”
“Shiki, I want Waka to have peace in his heart, and as long as his life lasts, I want to keep this connection without throwing it away. Even when that time comes, I don’t want to be abandoned.” (Tomoe)
“That time?” (Shiki)
“But Mio is different. That girl, if it’s the decision of Waka, she can accept anything. Only that girl has a principle that’s completely different from us both. As followers of Waka, we are all in the same position, and in terms of our wishes, we all have different positions.” (Tomoe)
“Tomoe-dono…” (Shiki)
“In the demon race country, Waka achieved Creation. Waka has definitely done a step towards his confrontation with the Goddess, and he is approaching the time when he has to decide on what will happen after.” (Tomoe)
“At that time, it might be the time to do our farewells?” (Shiki)
“Compared to the heroes, Waka clearly has more attachment to his world. There’s the chance-ja. Even in Asora, Waka is not trying to hold much state power as a ruler. In other words, I began to think that maybe he has no attachment to it, and it just doesn’t end. Japan or us, which one is more important to Waka—” (Tomoe)
“Then let’s search for it.” (Shiki)
Tomoe’s words were cut by Shiki this time.
“Search? Not ask?” (Tomoe)
“That’s right. There’s no need to ask for Waka-sama’s wish, you can easily tell what it is after all.” (Shiki)
“What?” (Tomoe)
“You are thinking about it way too deeply, Tomoe-dono. If it’s Waka-sama, he will definitely keep in touch with Asora, and on top of that, he would say that he wants to return to his world while maintaining how things are.” (Shiki)
“…Are you an idiot? It is because I haven’t found that method that I am being anxious about the final choice.” (Tomoe)
“Put more power into it. People like Root-dono, the living beings that were originally in Asora, and there’s also the Gods from another world that have brought their blessings. Since it is for this, isn’t it fine to just throw away your shame and reputation to gather information from the many powers out there?” (Shiki)
“Without caring about one’s appearance huh.” (Tomoe)
“Yeah. Luckily, Kuzunoha Company has a lot of sells in medicine, there’s also the Rembrandt company that can obtain highly fresh information, and we can also expect something from the knowledge of the demon race. I think it is too fast to give up.” (Shiki)
“…Fumu. Now that I think about it, moving from worlds might be a bigger obstacle than the Goddess. It is easy to tell the wish of Waka huh. It is just as you say, Shiki.” (Tomoe)
“Also, if the information of the Goddess side is slightly old, we can get our hands on it.” (Shiki)
“Hoh~.” (Tomoe)
Tomoe shows interest at the words of Shiki who has an evil smile on his face.
“A while ago, I got acquainted with a cow and a bird that are connected to that side you see. Also, I know clearly of the whereabouts of another one in Lorel, kukuku.” (Shiki)
“…I see. There’s a mountain of things to do in the time that Waka’s not here huh. Fufufu.” (Tomoe)
The sinister design that was being exchanged in this ruins.
It has been a while since Tomoe has laughed so brightly.
“By the way, I wonder what Mio-dono is thinking regarding the countermeasures for that priestess. Even though we are unable to find a conclusive method here.” (Shiki)
“Who knows. We are talking about her, so she probably has some odd plan-ja. It seemed like she was using the head that she rarely uses after all.” (Tomoe)
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
Lime Latte was holding his head.
It wasn’t because of how uncomfortable it was when they were lodged in the Hopelace territory yesterday.
And it wasn’t because of the high-class assassins that crept into our place that night either.
It is certainly true that in terms of distance, the Hopelace territory is a weird place to be staying in, and they said that the feudal lord was at the capital and was unable to greet the Kuzunoha Company. Those were conditions that made one question what was the reason for lodging there.
The residents there were mainly unable to hide their emotions in their gaze, a lot of the children were facing their way as if cursing them to death, and the adults had cold eyes as they laughed.
It definitely wasn’t a place to rest well.
Makoto said that ‘they are probably still suffering since something like that happened in the Academy to the second son of the feudal lord’, but he didn’t think that they were holding a grudge even now and didn’t care about it.
If speaking of Mio, she slaughtered all the assassins and for some reason is now all smiles.
With a normal spirit, you would normally collapse in this situation, but Lime is also a member of the Kuzunoha Company. He had already expected this, and it is something that can be easily washed away with a bottle of sake.
Then why is he holding his head?
The reason is simple.
Because of a scream and the light sound of something falling.
In the carriage that’s still on its way to the capital, they had passed through the gate just like that and were advancing through the streets of the capital.
The gazes of the residents were divided between those with interest and those that didn’t, the former gazes were somewhat good willed.
Until this point, it was good.
The problem is after the carriage stopped at a place close to the castle, Lime had confirmed several times beforehand something with Mio.
He asked ‘are your countermeasures to the priestess okay?’, and he also asked if those countermeasures were also applied to Boss.
She nodded with complete confidence.
Not only that, she said ‘I have made perfect countermeasures, so it is okay for Waka-sama to just maintain his Magic Armor in concealment as always-desu wa’.
For some reason, a bit of uneasiness was left, but even so, it is something that was said by the person that stands side by side with Tomoe as matchless people of the Kuzunoha Company.
Lime swallowed his own uneasiness.
And then…
Right after Lime got off first and confirmed the lineup of the people and their numbers…Mio had gotten off the carriage gracefully.
That kimono girl that had makeup applied, attracted the gazes of many, and even when she is similar to Hibiki, she was a different type of beauty that created gasps.
Leaving aside one person.
Priestess Chiya.
Only she was not fascinated by Mio or happy about her reunion, she placed her hands on her mouth and made a scream, and with eyes that couldn’t be opened any wider, she was trembling heavily.
And that’s when a thought surfaced in Lime’s mind: ‘this is bad’.
When he looks at Mio worried about the countermeasures not working, Mio was happily looking at the state of Chiya.
‘This is bad, Tomoe-neesan’, that’s what Lime thought from the bottom of his heart.
For a second, he thought about stopping Raidou who was going to come next, but it didn’t go well.
In the end, Raidou got off last.
He was the only one that looked nervous from the people that were in the group.
From the three, the one that was the most nervous was Raidou, is what Lime was sure of.
Chiya who was looking at the unenergetic man, made a dubious expression for several seconds.
After that, she made an incredibly high-pitched scream, lost her balance, and then fainted.
Raidou was taken aback by the state of Chiya and was agitated by it.
And within the confused surroundings, Lime was holding his head.
Looking at the red lips of Mio that were bend upwards, he felt an additional wringing sensation from his stomach.
(What kind of punishment is this? Is it because of the matter in Lorel? That’s too much, Anee-san~.) (Lime)
The harsh days in Limia have been made certain.
Lime was looking at the sky, placing his right hand at his forehead.
The Kuzunoha Company’s party has arrived at the Limia capital.


Mio: Just as planned-desu wa.
Lime: But you had no plan at all!
Mio: EXACTLY.

  1. sungguh ngrepotin mc satu ni, jadi kasian sama bawahanny yg ngedumel mulu kerjaan ngurusin kelabilan hatiny si mc. Kapan dewasany yak ni mc. Apakah perlu nunggu waktu atau butuh tamparan nasib kelam mungkin haha 🙂

  2. If the people are finding the text hard to read then just do this:
    1. Go to inspect element of the browser.
    2. Click on the element, the css styles for the body opens on the side.
    3. There select “line-height : 1.5;” and change the number by double clicking it and edit it to
    around 2.5 to 3.0, or what you want it to be.
    If you are lazy and don’t want to find a extension to add your own css styles or scripts to the website domain for its every chapter then you can just do the above method on every chapter, when its loaded.

  3. I think the best example of Tomoe and Mio is the Hoplace situation; Mio went overboard and killed Illum so he wouldn’t be a trouble to Makoto, despite it being against his wishes.
    Tomoe, upon learning of the situation does everything to hide it from Makoto so that he wouldn’t sour his relationship with Mio or have any regrets about the outcome of the situation, which while it does achieve its goal, it also robs Makoto of an opportunity to grow from failure and understand Mio and her thoughts at a deeper level.

    1. Balance man. Gonna have a good balance between chinese MC attitude and babysitting. Shame it takes years for that to happen

  4. Well they seriously don’t understand Makoto and they also don’t realize that they themselves can’t change him to how they want, and also failed to understand how he actually is.

    Also that hyuman discrimination is so small that will disappear with time and no amount of intervention is needed.

    Also also i like that because they are very old beings they actually believe that they can understand people just from observing them but not talking with them and come with their own wrapped conclusions.
    Hell Lime later talks like a nomal person with Makoto and god damn he did more in 1 chapter than Tomoe and Shiki combined throughout the story.

  5. I like how Shiki said stuff to calm down Tomoe. I kinda figured she had some worries in what she was doing in the backround. But funny that he also stuck up for Mio. And said we should just let Mio plans to play themselves out. Should be interesting. LOL Also like that Mio is trying to use her head more. In terms of that she is way behind the other two subordinates. But in time should be interesting to see the stuff she comes up with. :3

    1. Yeah that’s why she is the opposite of Tomoe who overthinks and doesn’t understand the MC, Mio actually gets things done.

  6. in almost isekai genre novel, doing appraisal nonchalantly mean harm to the opponent, and if directed at important people, it mean beheading right now
    That hibaka…well…she is baka after all hahhhaa

  7. I don’t like how they keep things from Makoto, just feels off, don’t like it. And he will grow some balls, right?

    1. Grow some balls? How the hell did you come to that conclusion when all he did was live his life the most normal way?

  8. If you can’t outsmart them, brute force your way to an answer!
    Also damn that conversation between Shiki and Tomoe was heartfelt. I wanna see more of stuff like that.

  9. that little girl has an “an seeing eye” right? so she saw makotos and mios power? its just like the scene from overlord???

    1. Yes, but instead of 10 demon lords coming out if the carriage its probably 100+ 😂 since he’s been practicing his bow

  10. Reminds me of that scene in Overlord (S03E08) where he’s in the arena with some of the adventurers that raided Nazarick and he takes off the ring that hides his true power and tells the female adventurer to look again. When she does she starts screaming and vomiting heavily. xD

  11. To be honest, Tomoe’s doing kinda annoys me, I see it as a way of manipulating someone. I hope that change, tell me it changes, tell me how it changes. Spoil me modafakers. I don’t care, hit me, tell me what happened to whatever Tomoe is doing.

    1. She for the second time in the story realize that she is wrong and some 10 or 20 chapters later she stops permanently from doing any of this.

      1. Yup, she finally let Makoto she “evil” In the society and let him tackle it alone while keep watching him from afar

  12. Tomoe is upping her game being a two faced manipulative user of double standards. Why bother talking to Waka if we can manipulate him by witholding information and telling others what to do and say. I did not like her right away too much but my dislike has grown after this chapter.

    1. It will stay like this for a while, return, and become like this… I have checked.. I wish they would edit these chapters, the translations are done after all

  13. I kinda remember a scenario in dnd where a hivemind that enslaves humans through mind control. The party enters the town where all people are enslaved by the hive mind but they have resistance due to one of the members spell. One of the member was like no no I got this and asked the spell to be cancelled on him. The as soon as the spell is removed he faints and is connected to the hivemind. A few seconds later all the residents faint and he wakes up. The madlad was an apostle of an Eldritch God so he prayed and connects his consciousness to the God. The God got irritated by the noise in the connection so the hivemind got mindfucked . End of story I think. I couldnt remember all of it but that was the gist of it.

  14. “Then you should understand why I gave you that role even without me saying everything, right? What color are those hands of yours? Are those the hands of someone that can pat the head of his students?” (Tomoe)
    “…”
    Being told that, Shiki lowers his gaze and looks at both of his hands.
    He understood plenty what Tomoe was trying to tell him.

    Jeez

  15. Haha Mio, that’s fantastic.

    Hyuman discrimination, huh. I was already aware, but my phycological/deduction skill are so bad it’s pathetic. That discrimination was brought on by the deaths of Offshoot and others though. So I REALLY hope he keeps it at least to a certain extent. Komoe came as a ‘replacement,’ but she is a different entity.

    I have not forgotten nor forgiven the death of Offshoot and I never will. It’s not a good quality, but I’m just that petty.

  16. as always Mio is my favorite of makoto’s servants (Even so, I am not a fan of their servants, I must say, it seems to me that they do not trust their lord and are more loyal to themselves than to him),

    tomoe as I said before seems to me more as if she were makoto’s mother (I understand why he does not feel attracted to her) tomoe is very overprotective and does not understand that this only hurts the main character long term in fact if it weren’t for the fact that the protagonist is too powerful and is not stupid and realizes about what tomoe is hiding in the end, that she want to keep it pure and innocent all his life would have already caused several disasters and ending with the protagonist losing confidence in tomoe, that’s why I don’t like much tomoe, she is a little hypocritical, she calls herself a servant but only sees the protagonist as a 5-year-old child or as a pet unconsciously, and the protagonist knows that tomoe is like that but is too kind and he appreciates her too much to be angry with her for it will be like that

    1. Its not like that. Its not that they are more loyal to themselves, but even servants have their own desires and wishes for their lord which is what happens with them and this happens with all of them.
      Mio wants makoto to put more attention to her. Tomoe wants makoto to stay the same boy he was when she meet him. Shiki wants makoto put attention to his dear students. That’s all.
      And its not that makoto is too kind to be angry with tomoe, tomoe is too overprotective and makoto is very dependent cause that’s how they have been since the beginning, makoto doesn’t get angry cause he knows he depends on her voluntarily.
      Its true it is not good for him as a whole but thats how things are for those two.
      And while its true Makoto thinks tomoe is too manly and protective which makes it easier for him to not look at her in a romantic way its not that he is not attracted to her, he just ignores it, the same way how he ignores Mio too.

      1. Not really. Mio’s desire is to have makoto do whatever he wants and she will do anything so makoto can do what he wants.
        Tomoe and shiki are imposing their desire to their lord. Though they think its for their lords own good, it is still somewhat a betrayal of trust, especially to tomoe who hides alot of important matters to makoto.

        Mio will do everything so makoto can be who he is.
        While tomoe only do things so makoto would stay and hide important matter that would affect makoto’s staying.

        1. That’s certainly not the case. Not even remotely on some things.

          Mios only desire is to be loved by makoto and to make makoto happy. She doesn’t care what Makoto chooses or does because she accepts everything of him, nothing else.

          And Tomoe and Shiki do not impose their desire on makoto. Just work it around to get their lord to share their own wishes.

          Like shiki who wants makoto to like the students the same way he does. And no Tomoe hiding things to makoto is not anbetrayal of trust. Makoto trusts Tomoe to make choices by herself regarding things and to notify him of only the important things.

          Even if some of those choices are not to Makotos liking doesn’t mean its a betrayal to him.

          And Tomoe does things to not let Makoto change so much because she loves the boy she met, the last thing she wants is for him to jecome too different.

          1. Mio literally said all she wants is that makoto gets to do what he wants and she will follow it. Her love to makoto is not a desire, but a natural thing.

            Tomoe also was in a delima when Root told him that being in love will make you do things. Tomoe even realized this herself and admitted that she was selfish. Shiki also lied to the student because of his own selfish reasons. As ive said, eventhough THEY THOUGHT that it is for the good of makoto, they still have betrayal of trust. Tomoe fist and foremost dont even have a single trust to makoto about being left behind, and mio just told her that makoto would never do such a thing as leave them behind.
            Tomoe narrowed her view because she was afraid of being left.
            While Mio is the only one who is completely capable of seeing the bigger picture.

          2. Her love for makoto are her feelings, her desire is for makoto to love her back.

            Tomoe is sometimes selfish? Yeah, so what? Many people in love are selfish, they want to monopolize their love ones, and so what’s the point?

            And I’m failing to understand what you are talking with your last paragraph, but here it comes a thing. Having self-confidence issues is not a betrayal. Tomoe is afraid? Yeah she was, that doesn’t mean that she betrayed makoto. Mio accepts makoto however he is? Yes but that doesn’t mean that Tomoe betrays makoto just because she wants him to be in some way.

            Many people has aspirations for how they love ones become, and that’s not betraying them.

            Makoto also has aspirations for Tomoe and Mio, like Mio less dependant on him and Tomoe less manipulative around him. And that’s it, those are his aspirations, doesn’t mean he doesn’t trust them.

            And they not telling everything that happens are certainly not a betrayal.
            And so what that Shiki lied his students? If anything wrong was directed to the students not to makoto.

          3. No. Mio’s desire is to let makoto do what he wants to do. That desire is on a subordinate-lord relationship and that is the most loyal thing. On the more personal side, she wants makotos affection. Its seems you dont even know the distinction between the two.

            You seemed to forget that tomoe is acting on her own behind makotos back to stop him or hinder him from getting information on how to go back to earth.

            To a subordinate-lord standpoint that is already betryal of trust. Makoto desires to back to earth, but tomoe is hindering him from getting the information he needs. She already betrayed makoto in that sense, but on a personal basis, she love makoto so much that she is willing to betray him. You dont even remember Roots warning tomoe about feeling being in love will make you things. Same as Root betrayed her companions because of love, tomoe also realize she in the same position as Root told her.

            At the end, the one who conforted tomoe was mio. Tomoe even killed waterfall without makotos knowledge because waterfall gave makoto a means to return back to earth. If that isnt a betryal of trust then i dont know what story are you reading.

          4. No no. Her desire is for makoto to love her back and to please him. And nothing more. Because she loves him totally is that she doesn’t care how makoto acts and how he becomes, she will continue to love him no matter what.
            So it is you who seem no fail to see the difference between both things. And so grandly.
            And Tomoe hindering him from getting info how to get back to earth? Not by even chance. She certainly doesn’t wishes for that and doesn’t really help him, but that not hindering him. Stop making things on your own.

            And really at this point you are only making things on your own to justify your views. I remember that Root told Tomoe about love, but Root is Roott, not Tomoe and she doesn’t go around hindering makoto. She not wanting for him to leave is not a betrayal is just a difference on objectives. Which a subordinate can have and that’s not betrayal to their boss/lord. She clearly doesn’t help in reaching that objective but doesn’t hinder it. At must that would make her an incompetent subordinate not a betrayer.

            And she didn’t kill waterfall for giving makoto that return spell, she killed her because waterfalls intentions were against makoto. And makoto did get the spell to return and use it and Tomoe never got in the way of that.

            Do please stop making things on your own just to defend your views. If you lack better arguments just say so and that’s it.

          5. Mio said it herself in her monologue acter makoto and hibikis conversation. So i dont know why youre even arguing about it. Mio’s desire as a subordinate is to fulfill all of makotos endevours, and her personal desire is his affection. Those two are distinct, and you failed to even realized that. Mio said it herself, not me. Lmao. Youre the one whose making things up.

            Tomoe attacked waterfall because waterfall had the intention of returning makoto back to earth, are you even reading the novel? Tomoe literally said it in her monologue too. Makoto having the tome was out of tomoes hand because she was not there to begin with. Thats why she was hesitant to even let shiki transcribe it when she saw the tome, and after that she broke down and mio comforted her and assured her that makoto would never abandon them. That is from the novel. My statements are from the novel itself, not my opinion, unlike yours who premise your arguments based on your views about the characters.

    2. This is exactly what i think
      Mio is what you call a true servant, she’s always open to him, NOT HIDDING anything Unlike the other… you know
      People always sees MC as a 5 y.o child and didn’t want him to face reality
      And here it is, THE MC WHO DON’T GROWN UP HIS MIND FROM THE START

      I know there’s someslight change on him, but i think ordinary 17 y.o high-school boy have more refined way of thinking. It’s not like MC should become genius or something, just have a normal way of thinking is good… unlike now… i hate those Japanese trait shit (don’t have any negative thinking about Hibaka cuz they’re from the same place, but he already know there still someone like tomoshit)

      Im holding myself and hope for this story to get better… i hope i can endure it a bit longer

      1. Im feeling the same way as you, 200+ chapters in and theres barely any character development from the MC ever since those human killed some Asora residents. Tomoe thinks of the MC as if hes her own child that needs her guidance to the point of it becoming suffocating to read. And her desire of not wanting Makoto to even atleast wish for wanting to come back to Japan and stay in their world for her selfish reason. Its getting to the point of stockholm syndrome. All of his so called ” loyal servants ” wants him to mold to what they want to see of their master purely of their desire and not for Makoto’s own will. Instead of letting Makoto grow as he is, its more like his followers wanted him to become what they WANT like a parent who would do anything in their power to have their children follow their own footsteps and enclose a path towards their childs OWN dreams.

  17. I knew she was gonna do that. Well, looking forward to seeing how Makoto handles this. Also I do hope he gives Mio a good spanking, though knowing her she’d probably just enjoy it…

    1. well the moment she gave the ranger suit to yuno I already know what’s coming. it was her indirectly saying that makoto is the white suit that save the hero after all that suit is from kuzunoha company

  18. story: when hibiki and prestress attacked by mio. nearly killed chiya .
    misumi tamed mio- misumi fights with mio it nearly killed by misumi waten by mio . – everyone saved by mana infused and blood contract. chiya knows about the calamity disaster spider fights misumi.but about mio dn’t know ?

  19. Later:
    “By the way, it turns out that Mio attacked you guys in the past, but after you injured her she attacked me, and although it nearly killed me, I managed to tame her and get her into a slave contract, so you’re perfectly safe. Probably.”

  20. This is a reference to an old comment : she probably saw a mardi gras parade of demon lords and dragons carrying gods lol.

      1. Makoto has been consistently improving his magic power since his meeting with the three gods, so at this point, Chiya was probably seeing 100 Demon Lords.

          1. I forgot the chapter number, but Tsukuyomi’s brother Susanoo, Daikokuten (Shiva), and Athena, came to visit him in Asora while riding on the three legged crow Yatagarasu.

            Basically, 2 gods of destruction and a goddess of war, riding on the sun incarnation, went for a house visit. I feel like theres a joke there somewhere.

    1. Damn, I had go read this chapter 3 times to finally have a grasp of the details of what Tomoe and Shiki were talking about.
      Also if I were Makoto, I would probably have heartburn as well just dealing with Eris, lol its hilarious and charming but also migraine inducing.
      And of course, Mio is just… Mio 🤣

  21. That was one fulfilling chapter. What I like in late chapters is there are no kids crying in the comment section about “To much talk”
    Chiyu-Double-Scream
