Chapter 274: Outbreak of War

This is probably the last. <Dun dun dun>

19th floor, Grave palace, deep area.

Standing at the front of the teleport formation for the next floor, I nod.

It is a plan that I had Tomoe and Mio hear out, and made some retouches to.

Even when we have already arrived at one step before our goal, I still haven’t been able to think of a way to break the heart of Rokuya-san and his group, the Japanese people that have accepted immortality.

We are going to be marching into the enemy’s territory, and without killing anyone, we have to gain their cooperation including the person that hates me. Moreover, there’s no doubt that there are several forces there that are on a level that can be considered a threat to the Kuzunoha Company.

No matter how you look at it, there’s no doubt that this is a big challenge.

That’s why I think the idea that came out after cleanly piecing the information at the hotel was a miracle.

…The trigger of it was the casual conversation of Iroha-chan and Akashi-san though.

“Now then, looks like this will be a big job. My blood is boiling.”

While touching the blade of her katana, the silver haired mode Tomoe looks at me with a smile.

It is not as if this floor was challenging enough to warrant an enhancement.

It is because we will be needing that level of strength from Tomoe on what’s coming ahead, so I gave her the power beforehand.

Tomoe wasn’t there when the incident with Root happened, so she probably feels happiness at having a place to utilize her power aside from training.

“It will be difficult not to crush anyone, but if it’s the order of Waka-sama, I will carry it out perfectly-desu wa. But if possible, I would like to show people like Rokuya some pain. I wonder if that thing will stand in my way.” (Mio)

Mio, who now has glossy straight hair extending till her waist, said some dangerous stuff at the latter half as she laughs and narrows her eyes.

That figure of hers was gloss itself.

Tomoe’s smile has seductiveness in it, but Mio’s gestures have become more and more sexy lately.

Right now she is leaking out bloodlust from here and there, so if possible, this is the kind of gesture I would prefer to just look at instead of being in the receiving end.

But, in my personal opinion, I would like Mio to confront Haku Mokuren-san, Ginebia-san, or Rokuya-san depending on the situation.

Most of the reason she is like this is because ‘he pointed his blade at me’, but even if our thoughts are different, our desired pairings were the same.

“Bringing this much here, moreover, we have even received a ring from Tomoe-sama that’s only appropriate to call a sacred treasure…this Beren, if it’s today, I would be able to crush thousands!” (Beren)

Frankly speaking, I will be having Beren, Hokuto, and Shii, take on what’s probably the toughest role today.

Because, excluding the Adventurers of Origin, they will be fighting against practically everyone, and until things are settled, they will have to endure.

At first, I told the three that I was thinking about increasing the number of personnel, but their answer was the substantiality of the ‘equipment’.

The picnic side probably has less than a hundred, and we have analyzed the information we have gathered until now.

There’s quite the skilled ones that are S-class at the 20th floor, so I was thinking about calling Lime, Akua, Eris, and the elite four Arkes, but to my surprise, all three of them told me to wait.

They told me they wished for perfect equipment and the permission to utilize their full strength.

The three probably had some sort of plan.

There were several floors that were tough enough I would want to use them as training for the Kuzunoha Company, so that might be influencing too.

That’s why Beren got the permission of Tomoe and Mio, and also Shiki and Tamaki to bring a big amount of weapons that looked okay to bring.

Since a while ago, he has been looking at the ring Tomoe gave him with a face filled with motivation. It is an item that lets you use Asora like a storage.

For someone like me who is not good at the technical stuff, I simply see it as an item that opens a storage of big capacity.

Tomoe nodded when I said that, so the effect must not be far from my understanding.

It is not like you can just freely use it. Every time, you will expend a decent amount of magic power, so Beren will probably be using most of today’s magic power utilizing this.

“Ninja costume. As long as I have this, there’s already no worthy opponent. Whether it is to act as a wall, support, or damage dealer, I will show that I can fulfill those roles.” (Hokuto)

…The second one.

The big body of Hokuto was dressed in a ninja costume that felt incredibly out of place. A ninja look.

The motivation of the person himself, who recently changed into it, was quite high.

At the last area of this floor, there was one trap that was on a different level from the rest, and one of his arms was blown away, but the treatment has already been done.

Well, it may look weird, but its defense is high, and in the hidden parts of the clothe, there’s ornamental equipment that enhances it.

He is a high level Arke that can hunt adventurers like crazy with only his bare hands and skills to begin with. With training on top of that, and coordination as well, if it is the current Hokuto, even if the opponent is the legendary mercenary group, I don’t think his fighting power would lack to them.

His body technique and magic working together are without doubt powerful after all.

The only thing is that Hokuto doesn’t call it ninjutsu, but ninjutu, His way of speaking is clearly not that of a ninja, which is the only problem point of his.

“Even though you let us accompany you, the ones who will be doing the toughest work today will be Waka-sama’s group. On top of that, I even received assistance from Akua-sama and Eris-sama. Personally, I won’t be able to recover from that for a while. It is like, ‘mercenary group, prepare yourself’, kind of thing.” (Shii)

I thought Shii would be the one who would be the happiest in having reinforcements, and yet, the moment I brought out the names of Akua and Eris, she said ‘there’s no need, I can do it’, and suddenly changed her attitude.

After telling them the plan, everyone said something weird like: ‘we will defeat them all with a homerun’.

At the belt around her waist, there’s a number of multicolored experimental *sedges*. At her arm, there’s a bracelet that shines a pale green light, and at her ears, there’s new earrings. <Not sure if it’s actually sedges. 菅>

She said: ‘I will be fighting with my all, as a physical type Forest Oni, and as an elf ancestor’.

She doesn’t use a bow, and she isn’t that good at magic, so those words were pretty rare to hear from Shii.

By the way, I called Lime to the hotel just in case.

I don’t think there will be an opponent appearing today that he wouldn’t be able to buy time against.

Truly the meaning of insurance.

“…Everyone, ready?” (Makoto)

Thinking that it is about time, I try speaking out, and what was returned were the same gazes.

Okay.

Just as planned, I will be the first one entering the teleport formation.

Enveloped in the light that I have already grown used to, there’s a 9 out of 10 chances that there will be a preemptive strike poured at me the moment the scenery changes.

Or maybe there will be a negotiation.

“Like hell that would be possible huh.” (Makoto)

Even if I could guess it from the words of Rokuya-san, what welcomed me the moment I appeared alone, was the bloodlust of a battlefield.

Also, the attack with no questions asked.

Not only arrows, there were even javelins, daggers, adzes, a variety of spells like offensive magic, debuffs, barriers being deployed; the types of debuffs were pretty plentiful.

“What a spectacle. But it is still not a threat.” (Makoto)

I do a few steps forward.

My head is calm.

Currently, what’s the scariest would be the surprise attack of Rokuya-san.

And the unknown power of the other Adventurers of Origin like him.

In other words…my beginning move is…

“?!!!”

I set Sakai to perception and search, and grasp the fighting force of the other side.

At the same time, the Magic Armor that had its concealment effect released had caught the eyes of everyone as it appeared.

Of course, this body constructed of magic power was steadily perceived by the other side, and maybe because of surprise or fear, there was some sort of atmosphere going around the place.

The attacks stopped -for only a small frame of time though.

The attacks raining down, the magic coiling about; in this space of time I was given, I evaporate both of those with the shockwave that the Magic Armor released.

If Sakai can’t detect them, there’s nothing I can do, but beginning with Rokuya-san, there’s no presence that might be of an Adventurer of Origin.

And everything I wanted to grasp, I was able to.

After several seconds, a number of presences appeared at my back.

Everyone has arrived.

Thanks to the network that Mio has connected with all six of us, the information is linked, and we are able to coordinate without any mistakes.

“We still don’t know how Rokuya-san and his group will be involved in this, so don’t lower your guard—-” (Makoto)

!!

The attack resumes.

The wave of magic attacks that were like a downpour.

On top of that…

“Fumu, it is quite the stuffy visage, but it is not on the level of Rokuya-ja no.” (Tomoe)

Tomoe disclosed the skill and exposes the assassin-like corps that were trying to come in contact with us.

There’s seven.

While at it, I burn the people that were most likely doing long ranged attacks to provide support.

Tomoe had her katana directed at the frontline unit, and Beren’s group of three came to her front and take a stance.

“They got us first, but let’s charge as well!!” (Beren)

Beren shouts without looking our way.

“Of course. I will blow them away to an extent that’s not fatal~!” (Shii)

“There was no need to even propose it, we are all on the same mindset huh. I was with the intention of bringing it to a melee fight and cause a disturbance to begin with. We are overwhelmingly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers after all.” (Hokuto)

When bringing it to a melee confrontation in those kind of situations, there’s the need to be prepared for death, but there was no light of desiring death in the eyes of the three.

They rushed like bullets aiming at the assassins, and in a second, two of the seven were rolling on the ground with good momentum, and had went out of combat.

Beren didn’t stop moving.

Swinging the big axe that’s in his hands with all the strength of his body, he throws it at the stronghold. Right after, he activates the power of the ring  and brings out a new axe to his hands, and the assassin that was aiming at the supposedly barehanded Beren was repelled by his weapon.

Okay. This is on a level that can be a fight.

In that case…

“As expected, it begins from now on huh. Can’t expect much from the traps either. Leaving aside their numbers, the quality is pretty high.”

“Rokuya-san, you said there was a 7:3 chance that they would be going through the Buggy Palace, even the traps, that side’s where our real setup…”

“Now now, I have already contacted them, so the unit there will probably return in a few minutes. Let’s do our own job.”

“?!”

When I turn around, there’s the shadow of three people.

I couldn’t detect them at all even with the perception Sakai.

Moreover…it wasn’t only Rokuya-san, but the other two as well.

“…You really like surprising from the back…” (Mio)

Mio takes a fighting stance and makes a chilly whisper.

“The reason you didn’t attack us as it is, was it because of leeway, or maybe conceitedness? Which one should I take it as?” (Tomoe)

Tomoe’s words were tinged with slight anger.

If they weren’t putting any airs, they should have attacked just like that, and yet, they didn’t do that and were even talking on purpose to have us notice, which most likely rubbed both Tomoe and Mio in the wrong way.

“No way. We wanted to watch your playing hand a bit more, but since it was such an unexpected situation, we hurriedly came down. This here can hide me together with my companions, but it is an inconvenient item that doesn’t let me attack as it is. The limitations are many.” (Rokuya)

As he said ‘this’, Rokuya-san made a hiding gesture.

Together with his companions. Being able to hide your presence this perfectly is enough to make it a scary skill.

“…”

“What’s with that outrageous magic power? Honestly speaking, it hit my guts. Even in my long life, I haven’t seen anyone with as much magic power in its body as you.” (Rokuya)

“Who knows. People call me things like ‘Devil’ though. I don’t understand the reason well.” (Makoto)

“…So you were quite the racoon <deceiver>. Looks like my reading was wrong. I thought you were more of the honest type though.” (Rokuya)

“And so, I take it the one there is the Muse Danger, Haku Mokuren-san, and the Over Mash, Ginebia-san?” (Makoto)

“…”

Eh?

From their looks and equipment, there’s probably no mistake, but the two who are gazing at me are silent.

Are they not?

If that’s the case, that would be a bit uncool.

“…I am an Arrow Dancer. I am not a religious person, so there’s no way I would take a job that sticks to a God.” (Haku)

“…I am a priest or a bishop. I don’t remember being in a job that doesn’t sound like it has any relation to priesthood…… Why do you know that?” (Ginebia)

They both probably have strong special jobs, unique jobs.

But it seems like they don’t have a good impression of its name.

They mutter this as they turn their faces to the side.

In the case of the Adventurers of Origin, the things called jobs were probably born from the power called Guild Verse, and it is most likely strictly close to the ones currently at the guild.

They probably can’t set the names of their own jobs.

Well, this is convenient.

It seems it is still not the time to do what I asked of Tomoe and Mio after all.

I wanted to buy some time.

If we are able to do that with these three without the need of a fight, that would be most welcomed.

“Ah, Shougetsu-kun huh. If it’s him, he might have known things like this.” (Rokuya)

Rokuya-san scratched his head, and while making a wry smile, he spoke out the possibility he thought of.

It is exactly that.

“Later, I will go to the Osakabe house and give him a scolding.” (Haku)

“It seems there’s the need to teach that mongrel just how much of a taboo it is to lightly speak the secrets of a woman.” (Ginebia)

Mongrel?

It seems like my utterance has send sparks flying at Shougetsu-san.

It is a rare case where I am not affected much by it, but this is important.

Sorry, Shougetsu-san.

Being at the hotel is good payment, so please forgive me for this.

(Waka, we are done.) (Tomoe)

(Here as well, with no problems.) (Mio)

Okay.

I received the report I wanted to hear from Tomoe and Mio.

From here on, the true battle will begin.

Let’s do our best.

“Rokuya-san, here they come.” (???)

“?!”

“Good grief, looks like they were able to fix it huh.” (Rokuya)

I couldn’t feel any magic power, yet, a voice resonated from the whole floor.

“Something is…coming.” (Makoto)

From our surroundings, several presences appear.

Looks like it is not a direct attack though…

As if telling myself, and the other two, I mutter.

Even if my voice itself didn’t reach, it was also relayed to Beren and the others thanks to Mio.

It is true that this is enemy territory.

It is obvious that the opponent is at an advantage.

“Because of Takane-kun, my spirit received damage.” (Haku)

Haku-san.

“Me too.” (Ginebia)

And Ginebia-san also responded with slight grudge in her voice.

Takane, huh. It isn’t an Adventurer of Origin.

It is a magic power I can’t detect with Sakai, and the voice that resonates from the whole floor is definitely not that of a natural voice, it sounded artificial.

Is it the labyrinth manager, designer, or whatever it was?

“So you were buying time huh.” (Makoto)

So I was way too optimistic in thinking the timing of Rokuya-san appearing was convenient for us.

Hurry.

The thing we need to do the most, we have to do it in the time that we are still able to do follow-ups for Beren and the others.

While asking for the objective of them appearing before us, I form an aria without letting it out from my mouth and construct several spells.

“Sorry about this, but I will be returning the question of Tomoe-dono just now. For someone that’s trying to do a reckless fight in the enemy’s territory, you guys are way too leisure. Is that conceitedness, or maybe something that surpasses leeway?” (Rokuya)

Words that had no trace of him actually being apologetic.

But for some mysterious reason, it didn’t anger me.

“You are a rude man as always. I don’t know what you intend to do, but I would like to teach you the etiquette you have to show towards the strong.” (Mio)

‘Are you able to take it?’, is what Mio’s face was saying.

It was clearly a taunt, and also a threat.

And at almost the same time, the several presences teleported.

This is…

“What a coincidence. If possible, I would like to do that as well. Leaving aside Raidou-kun, if I had to choose between Tomoe-dono and Mio-dono, I would say Mio-dono is the easier one to deal with.” (Rokuya)

“! Is that so…” (Mio)

Not only did Rokuya-san evade the taunt of Mio, he returned it straight at her.

In my personal opinion, I feel like it would be most comfortable to fight them evasively in a group fight though.

But Mio seems like she is pretty hyped up now.

I am also bothered by the Marikosans that appeared as if encircling us.

The one that I met at the Alt floor…doesn’t seem like she is there.

“Paradise Protector, Guardian; Sharp Blade of Determination, D-Rapier; Conviction, White Card.” (Makoto)

“!”

I activated three spells in succession.

I cut off the left arm of the Magic Armor to place support magic on everyone. I went through the trouble of utilizing the spell that Shiki and Tamaki had recently thought of.

Each one respectively is: specialty enhancement, power enhancement, status ailment nullification. On top of that, thinking about how enemies might obstruct my casting, I expended the Magic Armor’s magic power to activate it, and yet, in the end, there was not a single obstruction from them.

Fumu.

Well, no problem with me if they are going to let me do it, but in that case, what’s up with this number of Marikosans?

Red, blue, yellow, white, black, gray…well, they are colorful.

There’s 12 surrounding us.

They are puffing out their chest and crossing their arms.

Their beards are also incredible.

Kaizer, toothbrush, chin, sides, and round.

It is like a trade fair.

“Then, Marikosans, here I go.” (Takane)

“Oooh!!”

The voice of a man that’s resonating from the whole floor commanded.

The voice also felt like that of a mature woman. There’s several voices interlaced.

However, the more I see, the more I think that the Marikosans would look better without the beard.

“Invite, Duel Area.” (Takane)

“?!!”

As always, I couldn’t feel the flow of magic power at all.

Haku Mokuren-san and Ginebia-san suddenly disappear.

Seriously, I feel like I am fighting against a God that rules this place specifically.

Can’t take it.

But well, from the way they call it, it doesn’t seem to be the ruler here though.

“Tomoe-san?!” (Mio)

Mio’s voice.

When I turn to look at Tomoe, there was no one.

However, she is here.

I can feel the presence of Tomoe in a pretty far away place.

And there, there’s the presence of two other people.

“Forced teleportation huh. How dangerous.” (Makoto)

Invite, Duel Area.

If it’s just as the name implies, it should be like teleporting the players into a battle area like in most MMO’s.

The dungeon design itself is game-like.

The manager of this place probably gets along well with Rokuya-san and his group.

At any rate, two vs one huh.

The numbers don’t match.

“Takane, what’s the meaning of this?” (Rokuya)

Oh.

So even for Rokuya, this matching was unexpected?

“It may be sudden but, there’s a change of plans. Restraining that person would be too bad of a match for Rokuya-san, so I acted on my own accord.” (Takane)

‘That person’, does it mean me?

“I am aware of that, but…I can’t just take the easy part.” (Rokuya)

And the easy part would be Mio huh.

Even if we are fighting in this place, moreover, with a restriction where killing is not victory, I think he is underestimating Mio too much.

I don’t think he has some pinpoint equipment and powers that bring him scary advantage against Mio.

“No no, she is the Calamity Black Spider. She simply obtained intelligence and a master, but that doesn’t make it easy. Well then, I am counting on you.” (Takane)

“H-Hey—!” (Rokuya)

That voice disappeared together with Rokuya-san, and…Mio.

This time, there wasn’t even a signal for the activation of the skill.

The ones left were me and the Marikosans.

C-Could it be…my opponents are these girls?

Or maybe the owner of the voice, this person called Takane?

Or there’s the possibility that they are just going to leave me alone?

I don’t have the intentions of killing anyone here, so if they are allowing me to regroup with Beren and the others to do some follow-up, that would be best.

“…Am I being left alone?” (Makoto)

“No way. Raidou -no, Misumi Makoto-kun. There’s someone for you too. The Adventurers of Origin are not only comprised of those three, you know? Well then, Invite.” (Takane)

Hm?

No, Duel Area?

In an instant, the scenery changes.

The air as well.

Could it be…I alone was thrown out of the labyrinth?!

Is that also allowed?!

“Uwaaa, that’s too much for a joke. What kind of thoughts made you think I am the one most suitable to go against him, Takane-kun… Takane…that damn brat, staying silent huh.”

For now, I ignore the woman that’s fallen prostrated onto the table without looking at me.

Doesn’t seem like she has any intentions of attacking me anyways.

And so, I look around.

It is a room.

A girl’s room.

And it is close to modern Japan.

It is somewhat fancy and pink.

It is a pretty different type from my sisters.

My sister is a cushion maniac room, and my little sister is the simplistic type, or more like, I don’t understand how she decorates.

This type would be…if I remember correctly, the friend of my sister who does wrestling was similar to this. No, the room of that person was worse. Wait, that’s not it, it is not worse…but how to say it…worse? No no, it was cuter than this.

There were things like plush toys, frills, pink, the bed…it was amazing.

Right, it wasn’t horrible, it was amazing.

This is more between the line of normal, or how to say, like a more normal type of cute.

Yeah.

A soft rug that’s normally not seen in this world, and a low table.

It is probably a composition where you sit on the rug without using chairs.

And in reality, I am standing on it and the girl is sitting there prostrated.

If this person is an Adventurer of Origin, there’s no point in her age.

But I can’t see the age of her appearance and her face either, so I have no idea.

She does look young though.

After a while of muttering, the girl stays silent for a while and lifts her head up slowly.

Ah, young.

Around 20 years old, an outward appearance on the same generation as me.

“Nice to meet you, Makoto-san. I am Hitsuna. You probably already know but, I am one of the Adventurers of Origin. It is not something that needs to be hidden, and since we have met in this way, you probably already know, but I will be saying it, I am the first generation Priestess, even if it wasn’t my original intent. Ah, I will bring you tea quickly, so…please take off your shoes and sit.” (Hitsuna)

“Ah, don’t mind me.” (Makoto)

Hitsuna-san slowly stands up and walks pass by my side without doing anything.

There wasn’t a shred of hostility.

Uhm…

For now, I head to the designated place. To the table at the opposite side of where she was sitted, I take off my shoes and sit.

When I try checking the location with Sakai, I learned we are in the same floor.

Great.

The accuracy of the information gain slightly decreasing is a point that bothers me a bit, but this space itself doesn’t bring harm to me.

The thought transmission received…..no response from anyone.

Regarding Tomoe and Mio, I can tell that they are alright.

Since we have been separated, that means she is my opponent?

It is quite different from what I expected.

No, it is completely outside my expectations.

“Or more like, she knew my name as if it were natural. And…she is an Adventurer of Origin and the first generation Priestess huh. The other is…she is shorter than me which is rare to see aside from children.” (Makoto)

This is important.

Excluding children and certain demi-human races, there’s few people who are shorter than me with the same age appearance as me.

Just now, Hitsuna-san passed by me and she was only tall enough to reach my chin.

It felt fresh.

“Sorry for the wait. Ara, you are in seiza, what a mannered person. It is okay to relax.” (Hitsuna)

Hitsuna-san returns.

In a space of time that didn’t feel unnatural.

She places a teacup that is steaming quite a bit in front of me, puts the tray down as well, and sits down.

There’s coffee inside.

Ah, now that I think about it, Hitsuna-san’s hair color is indigo blue.

Rokuya-san and his group were things like white or silver.

Hm?

“Thanks.” (Makoto)

“…Sorry. The men in our side all love coffee, so I made some out of habit. Did you like tea or black tea more?” (Hitsuya)

“No, I also like coffee as well.” (Makoto)

While responding to the words of Hitsuna-san, I noticed.

Adventurer of Origin.

Hearing that, I understood.

However…

“First generation…Priestess?” (Makoto)

“Eh?”

“Uhm, Hitsuna-san, you said you were the first generation Priestess just now, right?” (Makoto)

Now that it has gone through my head, it is quite the statement.

When talking about Priestess, she is referring to that one, right?

The one that is currently in the party of Senpai at the present day and is the symbol of Lorel Union.

“Yeah. We had an agreement with Root, and there were a variety of circumstances, so I left that seat not long after, but…I was a Priestess of Lorel Union, its first generation and the foundation of it.” (Hitsuna)

…The Adventurers of Origin really have a lot of talents.

Unexpected developments, meeting people with unexpected titles.

In order to calm down, I take a sip of the coffee.

Hm, it is crazy good.

If this were sold as a specialty product of the labyrinth, it would profit big.

Oops, my merchant part came out.

It is good that I am able to buy time like this, but what should I do from now on.

Seeing that I sipped the coffee, Hitsuna-san smiles as she also drinks of her own teacup.

It has the scent of plum tea.


 

And so…we have finally reached this point.

The ending of Tsuki ga Michi.

Let’s be clear about this, it is not that this is the actual end, it simply means we have caught up with the most up-to-date chapter, and the author hasn’t updated for a good while.

So that means, until the author releases a new chapter, this will be a temporal end for Tsuki.

I really want to thank everyone for the support I have received.

I know, I say that all the time, but seriously, no matter how many times I say it, it wouldn’t be enough.

At first, I simply wanted to practice my japanese, so I picked the first Isekai manga I found that had no translation, and it was Tsuki ga Michibiku. Hell, it was a lot harder than expected and extremely taxing, I also noticed my english was terrible (which is something I was actually proud of, lol).

Really, translating takes a lot of hours a day, and I have to say, if it wasn’t for you guys and your support, I wouldn’t have been able to continue bringing out more chapters. Reading your comments, whether they were about the chapter or not, brought a smile to my face. Even the discussions and negative comments, and the small ‘thanks for the chapter!’, they really help a lot. So if you like the works of other translators, make sure to thank them. It may not sound like much, but those small things add up.

Once again, thank you for the support. And not to forget the donators and the patreons. Oh boy, I wasn’t really expecting them to blow me away. Especially the sponsored chapters. Really, the number of sponsored chapters were stacking up faster than I could juice them out. It mind boggled me.

I did say it was the end, but an end simply marks a new beginning.

I will be announcing a new project which you all know I have been searching for. Tons of suggestions were given to me, and I am really thankful.

In 3 days, I will publish a post announcing what novel it will be. There, I will write about the new format I will be utilizing for that new novel.

I hope a few of you guys stick along on this journey to a new parallel world!

See you guys in the next one!

        I’m a fan, would want to ‘greet’ him and ‘shake’ his hand… but that will leave a pool of blood on the road.

        1. Remember the conversation of the gods, not sure if it was in here or the extras..they hinted that it would be better for makoto to ascend to godhood, so his body will not continue breaking..or something like that..

          1. well, that mean he have to reach godhood so he won’t die, but I don’t think that mean if he die he will reach godhood.

  5. Thanks for the long enjoyable ride. Though its kinda sad that almost all the novels ive read have either stopped translating because there is no new updates or there is no one that can translate it. Hayss
    Anyways looking forward to your new project and Double edge hero.

  6. thx for translating for us all this time, by far youre one of my favorite tl. hope your next translation would be as good as this one

    p.s: holyshit.. your speech make me feels like im ready to go to some battlefield and die there…

  7. Thanks for all your hard work it was a great journey! I’ve been the silent reader from a little later than chapter 100 and felt that I needed to atleast leave a post on the final chapter that will be translated for a decent amount of time.
    Addictedtoreading

  8. Thank you so much for the hardwork, dedication, and time.
    I wonder if this will become a fight. And that makoto just sip the drink like that. What if there is poison? I doubt it will on him but still…..

  9. Thx for all these chapter (T.T)/
    The journey was long, but one hell of a good one. I remember been there from the beginning, looking for something to read and getting dragged into this because the translator said the waifu was gonna be an orc/pig… if only i knew. I will read anything else you translate and will wait with anticipation~~

  10. Thank you very mutch Regokai for sticking with the job till here, your translation has been great and I have high expectations of your next project. Worry not I am heading to the Japanese embasy to ask for a Visa so I can go to Japan and kic….persuade the author to continue his work, he can’t just pull a Houdini with out emerging out of the water again. And at such a hot blooded figth none the less. I think that Makoto was sended to the priestess since she seems to be the one with less hostility or eagerness to fight him, altough it might be because she can somehow call down the Goddes power. Who knows the author better has been using all this time to deliver a mind blowing figth.

  11. Thank you for everything Reigokai-San! I thoroughly enjoyed catching up and following this amazing moonlit journey. Your translations were superb~

  12. Thank you very much …
    Now i am sad… This is the only isekai novel that i enjoy even without a kingdom building’s protagonis or concept

    Ahhh… How i wish the author still update regulary like death march author

  13. Thanks 4 all the fish chapter!

    The author stopped right before the battle. Hope the author will continue the WN or the LN will pass this point and not axed midway like Dragoon.

  14. Sooo…… should I celebrate or shed tears right now…… I don’t know what to feel …
    Thanks for the chap ~

  15. Also did you drop “double edged hero”? while that was going that was half the reason I came to your website.

      1. I’m just happy there is finally a “Betrayed” MC that doesn’t immediately want to go and murder a princess. Also Kiur is the best character I’ve seen in a while. The only one that I liked more than a specific big yellow dog.

  16. So you say that the author hasn’t uploaded in a while, Does that mean that the author has dropped it or just hasn’t uploaded in a week or two? Oh well. its been one hell of a trip going from a typical “The goddess is the enemy” story to a SOL story to a “Slowly Corrupted MC” story. Well, lets hope for another 100 chapters from the author and if they don’t we just gotta love what we got and hope the manga updates faster.

    (P.S.) Thx for translating m8

  17. es triste saber que ahora tardara mas, y mucho mas porque me gusta esta novela bastante.
    gracias por tu trabajo, espero que no te desanimes en el futuro. esperare por tu traducción .

  18. The better way would’ve been for tomoe to isolate the whole 20th floor into a different space, that way the admin can’t carelessly interfere..then put them into illusions or let them sleep..or for makoto to release his limiters inside the isolated space..since they don’t need to worry about damaging the labyrinth anymore..
    demn, I can’t stop..it’s only been a few hours since I’ve fallen into the cliff..need to know what happens next..

  19. Vote: Who is the winner: Kuzunoha Company or Adventurer of Origin? Give the answer please

    I will make poll from polldaddy if you enthusiasm with this vote. Regard,

    1. Well, as aznoval said in previous chapter, only the goddess can defeat him quickly- he, the leader of the guild and I guess the strongest,if not, at least one of the strongest,admitted that he can be dealt with quickly by the goddess..
      Before, makoto can even last and damage athena god of war..i dont think the goddess is close to the power of athena in terms of battle prowess..
      At this point, makoto might be on par or even above the goddess if he fully utilizes his creation and mana..since his mana bank is greater than most deities..
      So, if in this situation the aftel people treated the kuzonoha like samal did.. The 20th floor would’ve been gone by now..

      1. Shiki could’ve use niflheim -that mist that weakens and enclosed the whole 20th floor..they’ll be left with at least only 10 capable enemies..

  20. He should’ve brought serwhale or Levi(I guess not Levi since no killing)..I guess that means that 3 employees alone are enough for the elite adventurers of picnic..woulve been a quick fight if they brought out some top seeds of asora ranking..

  21. Thanks for everything. How about translating something light hearted next? Recent chapter of Tsuki is just filled with bloodshed, stress, conspiracy, politics and all others eurghh..

  22. First, I want to say “Thank you very much for your hard work” to both Azumi Kei-san and Reigokai-san. I know this is not the final chapter, but I want to express my gratitude to both of you.
    Second, it would be hard not to have my weekly dose of Tsuki ga, but I am looking forward for your next project Reigokai-san.

  23. This has been a hell of a ride, and so much hope for more to come. Thank you for all the hard work put into translating this, can’t wait to see what you pick up next.

  24. *cry internally because the author has said in a announcement that the WN will go to hiatus because some problems*

  25. We shall meet again my fellow observers.

    I . . .

    The God of Paradox . . .

    Shall see you again sometime.

    *travels to another world to observe*

  26. Thank you for all your hard work. It’s been a pleasure to read it. And, in truth, thanks to you, I started in on several other LNs from Light Novel bastion, who covered while you were away.

  27. thank u for the chapter, reigo-san.
    i think i can wait the next chapter patiently.
    i really enjoy this story n i hope the author knows that n releases the next chapters soon. let’s hope so ^_^

  28. La ocasión lo amerita, gracias espero con ansia tu siguiente trabajo y esperaré en este acantilado, hasta su siguiente actualización.
    😉😉

  29. Thank you for the chapter.
    Wait………………………………………we have to wait until the author releases the chapter then we have to wait again for you to translate it!?……………………………………………………………….

    *Sprints to the peak of a certain mountain and drop to my knees*

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!!!!!

    1. I guess you haven’t gone to Sky site recently, but he is going to continue to translate it. He just bought the fifth volume and will start to work on it on mid august.

  30. Thanks for all the work you’ve done, it’s been such a journey. Looking forward for your next work!

    oh! almost forgot about Marikosan beard could it be its not beard but moustache instead? since its written as 髭(hige) which can be translated sometime as whisker/moustache, and they are Mario bros reference and they have moustache instead of beard

  31. thank you so much raigokai-sensei…
    hikss it the post end of my journey with you sensei n everyone in a land of TsukiGa Michibiku Isekai…
    hoping i could like the next journey with you again sensei and the new companions…

  32. “you realized how much a thing means to you when you actually lost it”

    May this great series be updted within a time frame sooner than any of us would think. Reigokai, thank you so much for this great series, thank you for your hard work all this time. We will keep on cheering you and give you your smile-enducing feedbacks.

    *At the same time holding expectations on the series you will pick up to be as good as tsukimichi*

    1. I’m more interested in Mio learning Rokuya’s extreme concealment skill.

      ……Good god, that would be horrifying in the hands of Mio for a variety of reasons.

  33. Thank you Reigokai-Sama! It has been a long and exciting 274 (plus some side stories) chapters and I look forward to the next chapter whenever it becomes available. Is there a clue as to what the schedule is like, the author of Kumo Desu Nani Ka goes on hiatus for a while to work on the Light Novel and posts like crazy in between volumes, is this author like that?

    Also does anyone feel like the author is trolling us a bit? The first real fight the Kuzunoha Company has faced that poses any real threat to its core members (Tomoe, Mio, etc.) and the author just conveniently leaves at a cliffhanger. Especially Rokuya, he talks big for a thief, assassin, or whatever he is… saying that Mio is the easiest to deal with. Granted against Makoto, his immortality would have been put to the ultimate test, and with Tomoe’s powers there are a greater chance of psychological damage rather than physical… I was looking forward of seeing his POV of him getting rektd, but oh well… Overlord vol 12 will be coming out next month so there is that to look forward to!

  34. Thank you for all the effort you have put forth until now. I hope that the next project you start will be just as awesome. Good luck friend :3

  35. Thanks for all your work.

    She smiled when he drank the coffee. Does this mean she put something in it????

  36. Thanks for the (currently) final chapter, Reigo-senpai

    Well… looks like it’s over… for now. This series was one hell of a ride, and now the ride’s stuck until the author updates. I loved this series, it was the first web novel that I ever read. Hell, I was happy when Reigokai hired me as an editor. Though… I’m still waiting on him to say that I’m officially fired, despite not getting to edit since the 30’s (as in chapters, not years). And yeah, I checked to see if Kei Azumi updated. Sadly… it was a wasted hope.

    Anywho, now’s the time to look forward to a new adventure. Personally, I’m still hoping for Janitor-san. That is one that’s been needing picked up forever. I would also say Weakest Skeleton, but that one got picked up during the countdown. All I know is that I’m going to enjoy whatever Reigokai starts next. And no, Spoiler-san won’t be returning… with the excepting of being the anti-Nepu. No more spoilers people. Seriously, I don’t wanna get another angry email. And trust me… a few people had found my email and either cussed me out or demanded spoilers. I don’t wanna go through that again.

  37. Rokuya, you tugged on calamity’s kimono you poor daft bastard.

    Reigokai – Thank you for putting your time into making something awesome accessible to people.

  38. Let’s Take A Leap of Faith on this Grand Cliff…

    Thank you Reigo-san, thank you all the reader..

    Let us all meet again in the next chapter.

  39. congratulations on catching to the raws, it is saddening that the author hasn’t updated in a long time, it makes one think that maybe he had dropped the publishing on the web in place of the LN, let’s hope that’s not the reason.

    again, congratulations, hope we see more of this one in the near future, and good luck.

  40. First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! for this great Isekai trip. It’s in these moments that the old adagio really shines: a good craftsman can use any kind of tools.

    Taking a hard-to-translate novel and doing such great work can only be deserving of respect (to you and other translators alike).

    Although Makoto was a bit of a late-bloomer, it’s a bit sorrowful to see the author not recuperating from his “break” since chara development was going steady (with the whole sudden realisation that Mio and Tomoe are “women”, perceiving the extent and “weight” of his power, moving more himself in the background etc…). With the novel being well led it hangs on this point.

    Oh well, let’s wait and see what will be your next act of kindness a.k.a. your next project.

    Just hope you’ll keep on being happy with it, cuz I know us readers will be.

  41. Thank you for all the chapters and for introducing this novel to me.
    Well aside from that won’t you consider doing the side story of Tsuki?

  42. Thanks for the Chapter! it was a fine and joyful ride. hope the author will soon release the continuation of the tsuki..
    Again,Thanks for the awesome translations…

  43. The way the author built up to this state though, there were many thin plotlines but nothing concrete. I get the feeling that the author is running out of materials and is thinning the story while he researches for it. Hope he comes back with good data.

  44. Tx for your kidness for traslate this novel dammmmm reigokai really tx u made all my nights tx for your job bro! time to go and read MGA, ATG, ISSH AND TDG I hope the author its still alive if. he is il will kill him personally for throwing our happyness dat bitch deservers to be executed

  45. Thanks for chapter Reigokai,
    Its been more than a year since i began to read Tsuki Ga Michibiku and i had enjoyed the whole journey, your translations had some ups n’ downs, like when you posted chapters almost daily or when you had to leave and Yoshii continued the transalation and for this I thank you fam.
    Well with all of that aside i wish i could finish to read this before i die or the author does (im looking at you Yamaguchi) and hope that you pick an interesting novel to translate so i could continue reading here xD
    oh and why don’t you give it a try at the side chapters? I remember someone saying that there are like 30 of them and they don’t appear very often

  46. I will miss a lot this novel and this comment section …Really really thanks for a wonderful cliff chapter

  47. Thanks for the chapter. I was hoping that the latest chapter is not a cliff but I was wrong big time it make me sad, but I cant do anything about it. Not moving on. =)

  48. “Mio, who now has glossy straight hair extending till her waist, said some dangerous stuff at the latter half as she laughs and narrows her eyes.
    That figure of hers was gloss itself.
    Tomoe’s smile has seductiveness in it, but Mio’s gestures have become more and more sexy lately.”

    Dear god I need an image if this. Someone edit an Utaha image and give her hime cut bangs.
    Not to mention that chapter end was one of the most anti climatc end, make me wonder if the author planned how to end the chapter before he got to a hiatus/sick-leave just to keep the readers hanging for more.

    Thanks for all the work you’ve done Reigokai-san, hope to see your next project soon.

  49. Thank you very much for the chapter
    Oh you have support even on the new translation project ~
    Please keep up the good work and take care yourself ~

  50. ahh…. didnt notice :'(
    Thank you as always Reigo-san~
    Well…. ladies and gentleman….. now we plunge into the void while waiting for the author to continue the webnovel series and also to check what Reigokai next project
    its truly been an Honour for me to fooling around and act crazy with all of you guys
    ‘ – ‘ )7

  51. Thank you for the chapter.
    It’s been a hell of a ride since I read a few chapters of the TGM manga and got interested enough to read this translation. This was the first Isekai novel translation I started reading and not only have I been hooked on it from the beginning, it also got me interested enough to start looking for other isekai translations to read. Now I’m checking out, like, ten different novelupdate pages a day to feed this addiction! Seriously though, thanks for all your hard work and I can’t wait to see what your next project is going to be.

    1. Hi 🙂 same here (completely addicted to the stuff x) )
      out of curiosity what do you read ?
      I read the following ligh/web novels :
      – Different world pharmacy
      – Hon issatsu de kototariru isekai ruro monogatari ( <= pure fire 😀 )
      – Tsuki ga michibiku (obviously x) )
      – The dungeon seeker
      – Dragon maken war
      – The new gate (this one is bliss to read…)
      – Summoned slaughterer
      – Jikuu mahou de isekai to chikyuu wo ittarikitari
      – Nidome no yuusha
      – Skeleton knight, in another world
      – Dungeon defence
      how about you ?
      ps : other community members could you please recommend other light/web novels that you love or that correspond/are similar to the ones I'm currently reading (see list) ?

      1. Well I didn’t saw Death March in there, really enjoyable read, and Everyone Else is a returnee, is a korean work but really enjoyable as well. And has fast releases.

      2. Ok 🙂 I will try and read it, no I haven’t started to read death march yet (I’m only reading the manga right now)
        But yeah, I’m really looking for some good reading material x)

  52. ” I also noticed my english was terrible”, hey Reigo-kun, you and your translations have helped me to expand my vocabulary, for the first time on 7 years of studying english/ reading manga and LN on the internet, I had to take google translator and look for some new words that you brought to me on the last months that I started reading Tsuki ga, it was really a good surprise :_)

  53. Thanks for all the hard work. But this cliff is too steep and tall. ;( Can’t wait until a new chapter is released

    1. Pretty decent, I would say. Not enough to survive in Japan, that’s for sure.
      I sitll need help with dictionaries and the sort.
      And there’s no person to practice actual spoken Japanese.

  54. How long has it been since an update from the Novels Author out of curiosity? And also looking forward to the new series =D

  55. What a bummer and we can only waiting for the new chapter which is uncertain release 😦

    Anyway, thank you for all the translation. Hope the next translation is as much or more fun than Tsuki. Banzai!

  56. Well this was a surprisingly action-packed send-off.

    It somehow feels really liberating to finally see the Labyrinth Party cut loose for a change. Tomoe with Silver(poor Tomoe) hair! Mio with super gloss mode! Beren with access to everything in Asora !

    And, of course, Makoto opening with his magic power armor in a glorious return! I also love how they sent Makoto in knowing that with his luck they’d be met with an immediate concentrated bullet hell attack.

    Also, I think Takane deserves praise for dealing with Makoto with what is probably the most effective strategy to date. Makoto has a very “a hand for a hand, a fang for a fang” mentality, but this also means that he would really, really strain himself if he had to attack someone who’s never shown him any hostility before. And so, the brilliant tactical maneuver known as “invite him over for some coffee” was born.
    The monster about as scary as a cosmic horror is kept out of the fight for as long as you can drag civil chats out with him. Which I assume they actually have a lot to work with as well, considering their background and life experience as immortals.

    1. I think the best part is what would happen if by some miracle their plan worked and tomoe/mio/beren and co were all defeated/killed Makoto would then probably wipe out everything in a 300km radius. I suspect that it will be relatively bloodless in the separate arenas however, possibly so far as their being some form of death prevention.

  57. Thanks for the chapter~
    That was a really long ride, Reigokai! 🙂

    See you in the next project.
    (I’m still hoping you’re gonna pick “that title”) XD

  58. Well…. Theres a manga so the author can’t possibly not come back. Right? Right ?

    Also; looking forward to your next project, assuming your tastes are as good as this.

    1. There’s also the actual Light Novel (this was just the web novel), but I’d rather Reigokai to pick up a new project instead. Besides… the light novels cost money

  59. Ouch. Thanks for the high quality translation. Too bad there’s no more chapters to look forward to (yet).

  60. Thx for all the hard work Reigo-san 😀

    Finally we’re here… The latest chapter.. There’s actually quite a but being talked about, that it’s actually felt a bit like an info dump. But it was good info nonetheless..

    And now… We wait…..

  61. Thank you, Reigokai! Now have some well deserved rest.

    With this Web novel finished, will you start with another one? Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri light novels have been partially translated by Skythewood, but their source is Chinese translations and they’re out of material. I have an interest to read the original Web novel version too, which is said to have some significant differences. Rune Trooper could be interesting read as well.

      Dang, the Nepu shot first.

    1. For a cliff this big…
      That was quiet anticlimatic, I’m not complaining, but there is a serious need to kidnap the author and force him to write

    2. In a different topic altogether, time for speculation!!!!
      If the next chapter ever comes, it will be all talk and business, but in 2…
      I can see something actually going down, maybe do a “let me show you how you gain strategic position” and teleport all the persons to a killing field in Asora

  62. Obligatory thanks for the chapter! Thanks for the chapter.
    At last, our time together has reached the end. The Great Cliff awaits.

    *slowly backs up* It’s been a delight reading this story with you all, and an even bigger honor discussing things in great depths with a (mostly) civil and interactive community. May we reconvene once again for Reigokai’s new project, and possibly Double Edge Hero once I get around to reading all of it.

    And now, time to fade to white. *sprints towards The Great Cliff for a leap*

    AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH-!!!

    1. Oh no you don’t we’ll wait here together to the ends of time. You’re not going anywhere.

      **toss a rope then ties psychronia up to the stone of solitude until new chapter is release.

      1. \( ꒪Д꒪)ノ

        Lemme go! That was supposed to be a cool and emotional final moment where I fade away in a flash of glory!

        -And possibly cause an anti-climax if the author releases another chapter within a week of now, in which case I post another comment next chapter of myself landing on a smaller cliff protruding out of this one, just out of view!

        Lemme go! *wiggle*

      2. You guys… stay up there safely.

        The Great Cliff only leads to the Pit of forgotten meme. I know. I’m already at the bottom now, my body crashed to pieces.
        In time I will fade away from your memories.

        Stay safe, all of you. Keep supporting Reigokai.

        Take him to the moon for me, okay?

        *Truck fades away*

      3. Haha I’m not going to leave you here…

        Ties the other end of the rope to truck-kun.

        Now if truck-kun leave it becomes a death trap. Grins evilly.

        1. I mean, I guess I could try writing a “But why a Truck?!” short story for April Fools next year.

          I’m not quite sure what directions to take without repeating jokes though.

          Maybe a lesser deity with a ferryman role? No, a broker or agent would be…
          *mutter mutter*

        1. Well , thank you truck-kun now i’m a reicarnated person from another world, but sometime go wrong and end up on the body of a chiken. It’s the start of my new life in another like a chiken,

          1. Well at least i can rank up and stop being a simple chiken, my goal is to be the ultime chiken, THE GOD CHIKEN-SAMA AND RULE THE WORLD WITH MY FIST(wing) OF IRON MUAHAHAHAHAHA.
            But first i need to get out of this fucking cage so i can start hunting insects to level up and stop being a simple chiken.
            PD: my name mean chiken in spanish

          2. Actually your name means chick in spanish but nevermind the small stuff, you need to aim higher, go for THE FENIX TITLE the great chicken that cooks itself!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Truck-kun you have one job and you failed at it!
      Now because of it, I am at the hospital with one leg and arm broken eating bad hospital food.
      I want indemnity.

      1. I am at the 3 floor at the back of the hospital!
        PS.: It’s true that I am in the hospital because of a truck.

      2. Jokes aside…
        I’m sorry to hear that man. Getting hurt is never funny. Take care.
        Hope you get well soon.

        Did you lodge a police report? You should.
