Chapter 275: The fight progresses with Tomoe’s excitement

Translator Note:

Is this reality? Am I hallucinating?

A new chapter of TsukiMichi!

And what a timely release. Author must have known that my translations have reached 2 years and released it as celebration! (kappa)

What a better way to celebrate the beginning of our 2nd year than with the very story that began it all.

Now, let’s hope this is also the beginning of more releases on the part of Azumi Kei!

Thanks to all the people that are sticking with me and providing all the motivation that drives me to continue! Looking forward to many more years to come!

Anyways, enjoy the chapter! :DDD!

“Against only three intruders…!!”

“Why are we being restrained to this level?!”

“Or more like, what is the healing party doing?! Isn’t their job to do continuous healing?! High Heal, Mana Heal, Cure, and Circle Heal! At any rate, I am counting on you guys until you completely run out of stock!”

“We are already doing our very best here! Or more like, you guys, don’t go dull even when we are healing you! Your stamina should be plenty and we should have dealt with all your abnormal status effects!!”

“Our defense skills and enhancements should have been perfect as well, and yet, what unbelievable attack power they have!!”

Picnic Rose Garden is being stirred up.

The defensive battle that they are the most specialized in, and moreover, in their home that’s their number one base. On top of that, the opponent’s forces have already been split up and they are supposed to be dealing with only three people; those were supposed to be exceptional victory conditions, and yet…

Hmmm, looks like things are going well.

Beren, Hokuto, and Shii are managing things smoothly.

…

It has been a while since I have tasted such nostalgic coffee, and there’s the scent of peach tea that I can smell slightly from where I am.

There’s coffee in this world as well, but how to say it, this is nostalgic.

That’s right, it is like the black canned coffee.

The instant type?

While I was thinking of such pointless things, I was confirming the current state of the battle that I was being shown, and I could tell that a smile surfaced in my face.

“Noma and Ryoma-san, you two are getting way too agitated… Sivaf, you are stepping way too forward; Clemyu, what are you doing?! Your healing is not making it in time! Aniki-kun is as always too… Geez!”

And Hitsuna who was opposite of me was shouting pointlessly while looking, not at me, but at the picture that is being shot from above the battle.

What was being projected in mid-air, where there’s nothing, was a big picture the size of a 58 inches tv.

The first thing that girl did when she sipped her tea once and said ‘now then’, was this projection.

Since she was going to do something, I matched her magic activation with my own [Brid], but for some reason, it didn’t work.

I have tried to stealthily activate it a few times already, but it looks like my magic is not activating.

My Magic Armor is active though…

There are many powers of the Wise that I simply don’t understand.

Are the names like Noma and Ryoma part of the members of Picnic Rose Garden?

I don’t know who she is retorting to and for what, but if I were to understand what she was retorting to, it might be unexpectedly amusing.

I did try to confirm with [Sakai] just in case, and it seems this is without doubt a live feed.

In this current state where I can’t attack Hitsuna-san, I am simply spectating the projection together with her.

By the way, this is not projected here but, Tomoe and Mio are also fighting at different places.

Tomoe is fighting Hakumokuren-san and Ginebia-san; Mio is fighting Rokuya-san.

It is a bit different from planned, but our preparations are properly working.

With how things are going, Beren and the others should have no problems for now.

Then, buying time is the number one job for me.

“!! He was able to take a direct hit of the Asura Fist of Ageha-chan?! Is that big Arke man only a ninja in appearance?!” (Hitsuna)

“No, even if he looks like that, he can properly do tricky moves, you know? See there?” (Makoto)

In a remarkably short amount of time, a terrifying amount of power was condensed in one fist; this deadly attack that was fitting to be called a finisher move was aiming at Shii.

Even as a Forest Oni, contrary to her small physique, she is a power-fighter, but I do think it would have been bad if she were to take a direct hit from that attack.

But Shii jumped and avoided the fist, and in substitute, the one who got the brunt of the attack was the Arke, Hokuto, who had slipped in between those two.

The attack was already not going to reach Shii, but Hokuto probably thought of doing this in case there was a follow-up attack from the other party.

Using his elbow that was heavily protected by armor, he took on the attack of the female physical combatant that’s apparently called Ageha.

Thinking about it normally, this should have hurt quite a lot, but she didn’t show any signs of faltering, and was showering Hokuto with a barrage of attacks as she rotates.

What scary strength of mind.

Of course, her physical strength is also unbelievable.

“Eh?”

Hitsuna reacts to my words and looks at me.

Hokuto receives the barrage of Ageha, deflects them, avoids them, and controls the moves of Shii who had ‘escaped’ into the air.

Thread.

With the visage of saving Shii while in the middle of the air, Hokuto had attached a strong string on her.

Shii, who had escaped into the air, was evading the follow-up attacks that were raining down upon her with unbelievable movements, and brandished her metal rod.

It made a sudden acceleration as it was swung down, and this attack filled with brute force was smashed at an area where people were gathered.

Hokuto and Shii; a combination attack that was done with great coordination.

While taking out new equipment one after the other, Beren was parrying the light-armored warriors specialized in speed and crushes them; that figure of his was also splendid.

…No, instead of calling those guys light-armored warriors, they are more like assassins that possess high-dexterity and fire power.

The word raiders really does fit them well.

The support from the backline is also superb.

Right now, Beren us utilizing the treasured weapons of the Eldwas without any frugality and, not only arrows, even throwing weapons are mostly ineffective, and the opponents that are fighting him head on are most likely more inclined into evasion than defense, they are continuously receiving attacks from the blunt weapon of Beren that has a crazy accuracy endowed in it.

It is a development that is incredibly compatible with Beren.

Utilizing his weapons to its maximum capability, he is turning the battle into his favor.

This is a development that was most likely brought by specially because he is a dwarf.

Even so, nullifying the long ranged attacks and his accuracy rate; both of those things are fields that the Elder Dwarfs put their efforts in after seeing me.

In other words, Beren still has more of those kind of equipment in his ring.

I began pitying the enemies in a variety of meanings, but in a sense, this also means I can be at ease.

“Haaah… they are strong. But even so, this is strange. No matter how you see it, the healing is too slow. Could it be that you guys did something? But doing something as dangerous as inhibiting healing magic which would hinder you guys as well would just be too unbelievable…” (Hitsuna)

“…”

Yeah, if they still think in that way, it is still okay.

Instead of asking me directly, she is giving the atmosphere of a spectator that’s muttering her own impressions to herself as she watches the battle.

If healing magic is completely unusable, depending on how the fight goes, the chances of deaths appearing would be incredibly high.

If we did that, we would putting the cart before the horse. It goes against our objective.

Or more like, my current situation is weird too.

I have never had my magic sealed before.

Now that I think about it, in my parallel world life, I have never been afflicted with abnormal status effects.

But it is certain that I can’t release magic against the woman that’s in front of me. My spell is not activating.

I can manipulate my Magic Armor like normal, and I can use my [Sakai] too though.

It kind of feels…unpleasant.

What to do here.

Tomoe and Mio are still in the middle of battle.

I can’t tell if they are playing around, or if the enemy is actually strong; even this, I should have been able to tell, and yet, my thought transmission is not working either.

It might even be possible that Tomoe and Mio are in a state where they can’t sense me.

We are the ones that want to buy time, and we are currently able to smoothly do exactly that, but…as expected, this is unpleasant.

“Uhm, Hitsuna-san, may I have a word with you?” (Makoto)

Even if it doesn’t work, I still try to throw a straight ball.

“What is it, Makoto-kun?” (Hitsuna)

“For a while now, I haven’t been able to activate magic. Are you doing something?” (Makoto)

At the very least, something that’s not magic.

It is probably something that is the same as my [Sakai], a special skill that only people that came from Japan can utilize.

But at this rate, the only option I have is to bring this into a physical battle.

That might actually be the right option though.

I have been relying on [Sakai] for a lot until now, but seriously, abilities that can’t be detected are really useful.

…That’s why, now that I am experiencing it myself, I can tell how tough it is.

“That’s right. Takane-kun told me that pinning down your casting is one of the things I should do. You are right now in a safety zone I created. Fighting against you in magic would be way too much for me after all.” (Hitsuna)

Takane huh.

The owner of that voice just now.

Must be the administrator of this labyrinth.

“Safety zone huh.” (Makoto)

“That’s right. Whether it is magic or physical, this domain won’t allow any kind of attacks to others. That’s my special ability.” (Hitsuna)

“…I feel like that’s an incredibly unfair ability though.” (Makoto)

An invincible space.

The kind that forcefully turns a fight into a draw?

How fiendish.

“At a glance, yeah. The limitations are quite a lot, so it is hard to utilize. It was by chance that this time I was able to properly set it up. That’s how it is, so let’s spectate together and take it easy. Oh?! Bia and Haku are going for it!” (Hitsuna)

…

Bia and Haku…

Tomoe’s place!

No, wait, that place looks like it is going plenty well.

More importantly…the limitations are many?

It is hard to utilize?

Just hearing that she can create a domain that doesn’t allow any attacks makes me view it as an incredibly good skill.

But it seems there’s holes in it.

Should I try concentrating with [Sakai] to investigate it?

At any rate! Staying like this is out of the question.

While I act as if I am watching the projected image of Tomoe that had appeared in the room, I began investigating the full details of this so called Safety Zone.

Placing the burden on everyone…is not amusing for me.

I will definitely do something about this, so, just for a bit longer, I am counting on you guys.

***

“Gu…nu?!”

“Dancing Bow, Septentrion! Fo-llo-wing! Mirror image, Basilisk Lance!!”

The moment Tomoe showed slight signs of placing strength in her legs to close the distance…Hakumokuren, who carried a large-sized bow on her back, made a graceful dance at the same time as she flickers the whip at her right hand.

In an instant, seven arrows appear in mid-air right in front of her, came in contact with her whip, and were shot in a straight line towards Tomoe.

With her long sword and activation of a barrier, Tomoe cuts the arrows at a terrifying speed and receives them. The arrows of this dancer that she had received, were fast and heavy, and most of all, sharp.

Tomoe had deemed Hakumokuren’s bow skills as the highest level of a true marksman.

Tomoe was honestly underestimating the skills that the adventurers use, but the skills that Hakumokuren utilizes and her ability with the bow she was showing was by no means something to be underestimated. Her power and coordination was visibly high class.

“Tch, the next one you are using your bow huh. Seriously, what a skilfull one you are-ja no!” (Tomoe)

The distance between them stayed as it was, and in the small space of time that was created from Tomoe deflecting those seven continuous attacks, Hakumokuren had already taken a stance with the bow that was at her back and shot with it.

But an arrow didn’t come from her front.

The time it took for Tomoe to open her eyes wide and begin to move probably didn’t even take a second, and yet, it couldn’t be called a fast reaction.

A heavy arrow approaches from her back.

The barrier that was deployed had been pierced, and while clicking her tongue in her mind, Tomoe unsheathes the short sword with her open left hand and cuts down the approaching arrow.

“What?! Ugh!!” (Tomoe)

Those body movements and reaction time used to intercept the attack were on a terrifying level.

Even so, as if the intercepted arrow was some sort of signal, a second arrow with the same trajectory that was surely not there a second ago was approaching Tomoe.

There was already no way to deal with it.

The right arm of Tomoe that had the longsword in hand had an arrow pierce through it.

At the same time, weakening and petrifying effects were assailing her.

With a single breath, Tomoe blew away those two status effects with plain fighting spirit.

“You have done it now… You… ouch!” (Tomoe)

“No matter how strong you are, lowering your guard can cost you your life, you know! [Ultimate Rotation], [Holy Light Dance]!” (Ginebia)

A terrifying amount of magic power was gathered in those fists of the priest that looked as if just touching that light would turn you into dust.

Ginebia had closed the distance between herself and Tomoe on her own, and laughs fearlessly at point blank range.

This was already not even in the range of a katana anymore.

Then, in what range is it? Fists.

It was the space for fists.

Tomoe was completely caught by surprise, and this one moment that was provided to Ginebia allowed her to step into her finishing move.

(This is bad. This sensation is just like Waka’s—!!) (Tomoe)

The moment the woman that was wearing priest garbs stepped forward, chills ran through the spine of Tomoe and made her body shudder.

Nostalgia and fear; the pain she felt in first meeting she had with her master had resurfaced in her mind.

The light fists approach her.

Where should she guard?

With that dazzling light that even made it hard to see where the attack was coming from, her vision was blocked completely.

Tomoe reflexively guards her head, and then…she felt a dull and heavy attack from her abdomen.

“Guuuuh! Damn it!!!” (Tomoe)

“If it were done with just one attack, it wouldn’t be called ultimate rotation!” (Ginebia)

“Nuuu?! Guuuuh!!” (Tomoe)

With the momentum of that attack, a storm of punches that came from left and right coupled with centrifugal force had enveloped Tomoe.

The moment the violent sounds of light explosions and blunt hits had stopped, Tomoe was blown off to the far back, and laid down on the ground face up.

After finishing a deep breath, Ginebia returns to where her partner is.

“Hm, good job, Bia.” (Haku)

“It has been awhile since I have done such a wild dance. Aah, I have shown a sight that shouldn’t be shown as a priest~~.” (Ginebia)

“How about just considering yourself a fist monk? I feel like Bia’s Holy Cross-type skills are different to normal, in a variety of meanings.” (Haku)

“Why?! Increase the power of your holy element with prayers and release an attack that makes the enemy withdraw. Isn’t that exactly what mine is as well?!” (Ginebia)

“The base of it is the only thing that’s barely similar. Well, this must be what’s called ‘the mysteries of words’.” (Haku)

“Just to warn you but, this is totally not over yet, okay?! Don’t lower your guard, got it?” (Ginebia)

With a dissatisfied expression, Ginebia orders Hakumokuren to confirm the situation of the battle.

“I know. If this were a simple Superior Dragon, after that full hit, what would be left to do is gather the corpse, but…the opponent is a Superior Dragon that has made a pact with a japanese person and has changed her original form. As long as it didn’t leave her with no damage, it is good. This is truly tiresome…” (Hakumokuren)

“Yeah.” (Ginebia)

The two of them respectively left a skill and spell in standby, and both continue to warily watch Tomoe who is bend down.

“…Well well, this is a sensation I haven’t felt in a long while-ja yo. Spilling blood I wasn’t planning on spilling. In normal circumstances, that splendid skill and magic combination would warrant a handshake from me. Ah, right-ja. This is…how it felt to fight against an enemy.” (Tomoe)

“…….”

Tomoe spoke, stood on her knee, brushed off the dust on her clothes, and stood back up.

She picks up the short sword she let go when she fell, slowly sheathes it back, and hits her back with the longsword that she didn’t let go of.

Using her left hand to grab the arrow that pierced her upper arm, it soon turned into mist and disappeared.

At the same time, her wound also closes.

Spitting out the accumulated blood inside her mouth, the body that should have received quite the amount of blows was not showing a single scratch.

And then, in place of that, there was one trait that was clearly different from before; what had appeared in the face of Tomoe -those eyes of hers.

They looked like those of a reptile, but it had something completely different from it; eyes that released overwhelming power.

Eyes that only the monarchs of illusory beasts possess –no, it went further above that, eyes that only a few handful possess; those eyes were releasing absolute nobility and despair to its surroundings.

“Uwa, dragon eyes. Finally entering battle mode huh. This surpasses the usual dragon roar.” (Haku)

Hakumokuren analyzed the effects that those eyes were manifesting.

Her expression was not showing as much leisure as her manner of speaking.

“In other words, it is that? Like when Frieza-sama transformed?” (Ginebia) <*queue frieza theme: only a chilling elegy*>

“…Maybe she has only come down from her pod?” (Haku)

“Then, we should give up on a frontal attack. From now on, it will be the time for deception and gambles. How about that, Haku?” (Ginebia)

“I’m in.” (Haku)

Ginebia and Haku had sweat flowing down their face. Doing frivolous talk that only both of them as japanese would understand, they gulp down.

“I acknowledge it.” (Tomoe)

“?”

“Hakumokuren and Ginebia; I acknowledge both of your strengths. I acknowledge you as strong. You didn’t stand before me with foolish confidence, and are actually people that have fitting strength and experience to stand before me.” (Tomoe)

“…..”

The tone of Tomoe was low and…cold…it had changed into a freezing one.

Her words were praising her opponents, and yet, that voice that was reaching the ears of those two contained an abnormal amount of pressure.

“I have shed the blood that Waka didn’t wish us to shed.” (Tomoe)

Even when she is in a half-body stance, she doesn’t prepare her katana and artlessly held it in her hand.

It was clearly a different stance from the swordsmen that these girls have fought against.

“This silver hair, which was the proof of being given further power, has rubbed onto blood…and has been tainted.” (Tomoe)

When she touched her hair with her free hand, sand falls down.

Right now, Tomoe is in the boosted state where Makoto provided her power.

Her hair color being silver instead of blue was proof of it.

“Fufu, good grief. If I lower my guard for a little bit, a sense of almightyness fills my body. I have to get used to it a bit more or this will continue being something that would be wasted on me-ja no. Getting haughty so easily and ending up like this right off the bat, seriously pathetic.” (Tomoe)

Slight complaints towards her master were mixed in her wry smile, but blowing away those emotions in an instant, those eyes of hers were directed at the girls that were standing at her front without lowering their guards.

“But even with that! Even if we have given you everything, even the location advantage! No matter if the chance of the victory we are looking for is sliding on thin ice! This disgrace can’t be forgiven!

This anger is probably in part directed at myself!! You don’t mind if I repay you for that, right?!” (Tomoe)

Along with the words that were spilled out one after the other, magic power was released as if striking onto them.

Several types of spells were instantly casted, and for the two adventurers that have lengthy experience, that activation was unknown for them.

Tomoe had voiced out her own disadvantage, but those were also things that could be said about Ginebia and Haku.

For them as adventurers to fight against an opponent that they are facing for the first time, knowing full well that that person was clearly stronger, and being unable to escape from it; that in itself was an impossible task for them akin to telling them to die.

The original job of adventurers is to survive and bring back information of the opponent, so no matter how many advantages they are given, there are existences that they should avoid fighting against.

For example; an unknown existence that far surpasses a Superior Dragon.

“Fuuh…from here on, we will harden our defenses and aim for a counter…” (Haku)

“And then, bring it to a battle of attrition. I know, Haku. Leave the support to me. I am counting on you for the fire power and distraction.” (Ginebia)

“There’s no yes or no in this. When we overcome this, the sake we will drink today will definitely taste exquisite!” (Haku)

Ginebia and Haku took their battle stances with all their resolve in it.

Even when receiving the pressure that surpassed the roar of a dragon, they still managed to take a stance.

This told how much experience these two had as adventurers and their high ability.

“Well then…” (Tomoe)

Tomoe points the tip of her katana, that was clad in a faint blue light, to the two and mutters.

Hakumokuren prepared her whip, Ginebia her glove; both of them exchanging sharp gazes with Tomoe.

Tomoe laughs daringly, and Haku and Ginebia both nod at the same time.

“Begin!!”

With the spirit of both sides blasting, the signal to resume the battle was shouted, and spells and skills were released in an instant.

The conclusion was close; that’s the kind of feeling that was being keenly transmitted from this spectacle.

The fight between the other follower of Makoto and the assassin was also about to reach its conclusion.

  3. Wow! Thanks for the chapter!
    I’m late to read this but oh well, I honestly expected it to take longer but this is great.
    In regards to the battle though, I can’t say I’m actually rooting for Makoto and his team anymore. Rather, I feel like I’ve taken a completely neutral perspective and am just looking forward to who wins this. (For the most part I’ve given up on trying to like Makoto, still can’t precisely say why but I don’t particularly like him. If there is one thing I look forward to it’ll be when he finally cracks, only then will I finally feel like he’s made true progress in developing as a character).

  6. thanks for the chapter reigokai-sensei…
    i hope the author will continue it without long break again n stay healthy…
    the truth i already lose interest to read novel after this series took break, dunno what will make me like to read novel again, well there many good manga i read but its novel not reaching its manga so sad for me…
    i like toaru ossan, HGG, Goblin slayer, yasei no last boss n many other but u see they to far from the manga…
    that why sensei… i always cheking this novel tsukiga michibiku isekai to see if there any update again so yes this is another chapter.
    so i will say it again thanks for the chapter reigokai-sensei n author-sensei…

    1. I understand how you feel. I hope the author gets well soon too, I am little interest in that series Goblin Slayer and have not decided if I want to read it or not. Could you tell me a little about it?

      1. i will tell you the manga already reaching 15 chapter this 1 hours ago, n everytime i read it chapter, i will reread until i statisfied couse it really gooooooddd manga so try it, i recomended it couse got my rating it 10/10 rating lol, that how much i like this goblin slayer

    2. Oh, a fellow Goburin Sureya reader !
      You have a good taste !

      You recommend it to Mack, but I don’t think everyone can hold in their anger when reading this.. you need a certain amount of patience.. and the ability to find peace in the midst of wrath.

      1. I’ve heard Goblin Slayer mentioned for a while now, so I probably should read it sometime.

        At the same time, my hands are already kinda full with what I’m following now and I don’t see any reason to intentionally jump into a story that’s apparently got a lot of indignant-provoking themes. Hmm.

        1. Nothing of that sort at all ! It’s a good story, I promise!
          You will only get angry at the goblins and nothing else. I’ve got nothing to complaint about the manga, even when I tried finding faults.

      2. lol that is true, couse it update 1chapter every 1 month for patience n not get lose thougt in chpater 1 lol…
        well almost good manga this day will update 1month per chapter so be patience…
        but i say i got grin so much this time, that why i think can reply your comment any time lol

        1. Hey… the latest chapter was unexpectedly refreshing ! Thanks for the link !
          I am so satisfied with the conclusion. And then… that women at the end. A goddess ?? Goddes of light ?? I think she’s Inflation-sama (twin) !

          But why can’t we see the Slayer’s face !? Always there is a convenient something covering his face … this makes me mad!
          I want see his face and yell like a fan girl ! (Inside my mind)

      4. I didn’t expect to find fellow Goblin Slayer readers 🙂
        The novel first struck me as odd and possibly not very popular, but once I started reading my interest only kept rising. I’ve read up to volume 2 of the light novels and look forward to reading more about a story different from the OP protagonist theme. 🙂

          1. You can find it on Indigo/Chapter’s site and other places online or in store. I live in Canada and got them both for around $29 total ($14 something for each one). The illustrations are great and the story all the better. Along with the manga I can get a really good picture of the story.

          3. Well I don’t know about how translated books are doing in other countries but maybe it’s possible that there are more volumes released in other places. As it stands for me I’m just waiting for when a couple more volumes come out for pre-order, so far volume 3 is available.

          5. As far as I know, the officially translated novels of Goblin Slayer are only e-book versions. Is there a way to buy a physical copy? (I might be mixing up this series with another one, if I’m wrong then please correct me)

          6. Again, as far as I know I can get paper back copies translated in English from Indigo and also pre-order those books online. There are E-books too though.

    3. Seems like more than a few people here have read the same kind of novel before, That’s really awesome to know. By the way, if you liked Toaru Ossan then I wonder if you would like Only Sense Online? It’s similar and in my opinion a good read 🙂

        1. I haven’t actually gotten around to reading the novel version yet, but I have it saved on my list. Actually when I decided to go read it I ended up finding Only Sense Online and got absorbed in that instead tehe 🙂

      2. well i alredy read it but not to much for its if about only sense online…
        i think it manga 2 but i think there samething that make not to looking forward for the update lol

      3. you know fella i dunno what i write before lol, im in rush, couse im still playing dota2 before so do forgive me, i reread my comment and i say what is this lol
        well the first time really into manga about game when i read yureka-manhwa n it get dropped already… so i just like novel or manga about game… but there something that not match to my likingin the only sense online

  7. Thanks for the chapter!
    I thought I was dreaming when I see this…. Lol.
    If the author is continuing…. How would the schedule for both stories?? That’s a big problem…..
    But please Reigokai-sama, not burn yourself too hard. Remember to take your time and rest 🙂

  10. I was looking forward to this, I really was. I was also worried that no new chapter we’re going to come out. But after reading library wars, I was also hoping and reloading the page hoping to see the next chapter. Weird feeling. Thank you for both stories!

    1. No, Tomoe cannot change her hair color of her own will. It changed because of Makoto’s mana boosting her. Just like how doing that turns Shiki’s hair black(if I recall correctly).

        1. The possibility of the sheer power of her silver hair burning it off aside, I don’t see why her blue hair can’t be dyed normally.

          If we’re lucky, her new mode only has her newly black hair glow faintly from underneath, right?

          1. I guess we can just blame it on Makoto for never mentioning hair dye to Tomoe then, not really sure what else would explain it. Or maybe it’s because Makoto doesn’t know much about hair dyes that he won’t mention them because he’s not 100% sure how to make a lasting hair dye that wouldn’t damage her hair.

          2. To be fair, I wouldn’t know how to make hair dye of any color.

            I doubt that harmful effects will bother a Superior Dragon, so we probably have some leeway with that though.

  17. Many Thanks for the chapter(act of God) and congrats in having reached over 2 years (seriously, my gratitude)!

    Oh, boys. So happy to see author-san was able to release a chapter, though that cliffhanger… Well, not really a cliff hanger as we all k now Tomoe is going to not simply annihilate the duo, but heck if I’m so eager to see her in action. I would love to see her silver, and especially pissed/angry, haired version.

    For some reason, I find rather amusing how Makoto is chilling in a room while watching other fighting. Not that I think it’s unfair or anything, just amusing, as pretty much everyone on Makoto’s side is going more than fairly well. Didn’t expect Beren and co. to also be so… not in difficulty(?). Now, let’s just wait Makoto ripping off that reality marble with pure strenght because common sense chan has been living rather well as of lately (with lack of Tsuki ga chapters I mean).

    Once again, thank you!

    1. Let me help you remember.
      *Orca eyes shines*

      It all started when a doofus (his name rhymes with Trash) abuses his eye-power to enslave women. One of the women he heavily enslaved is a friend of Picnic Rose Garden’s member. Now, she was trying to cure that friend when she escaped. That woman happened to be very dead now, killed after trying to asassinate the M.C.
      Hell bent on revenge, that Picnic Rose Garden member is trying to kill M.C.
      Our M.C is trying to get help from Picnic Rose Garden for another matter however, but now is against them in a battle. He tried not to kill them, of course, but the Origin Adventurer had sided with Picnic Rose Garden due to a past debt.

      …. and everything leads to current situation.

  23. Thanks for the chapter. The place where Makoto is at while watching the screen reminds of old video game (I remember so well since I can beat the entire thing and every level). You play as these 2D character with this special guns trying to collect magic crystals at the end go into a robot who looks a jogger as the final boss. Near to the end of the final boss fight all the so called bosses from the other levels you beat are there watching you on TV approach (playing the game) the final boss fight. Each time you get closer each 1 will leave the room to meet you as sub-boss on that level. All remember is 1 of those top classic 2D games that was feature on Watchmojo.

      1. That is the name of the game. I was hoping know it, I could not remember the name even I look up 2D shooting games I still could not find it.

      1. Gunstar Heroes that mention is a classic 2D shooting game, no RPG elements in it at all, and short game. I guess similar to what those classic 2D beat up fighting games like Streets of Rage and etc. I never actually played the Dragon Quest series because I pretty much enjoy playing the RPG with real time game play in it.

  26. I thought it was dropped..
    Tch, my blood is boiling again after so long..
    thanks for the author and translator..

  33. Yesssssa it here thanks for the chaper!!!!!!!
    Yess let celebrate!!!!! Whoa I so happy right now for a while
    Thank you

  35. is this a fanta sea?
    Thanks for the chapter!

    “In other words, it is that? Like when Frieza-sama transformed?” (Ginebia)
    So, that explain it: tsuki ga was on a single week hiatus, but it was counted as namek minutes.

    “Fufu, good grief. If I lower my guard for a little bit, a sense of almightyness fills my body. I have to get used to it a bit more or this will continue being something that would be wasted on me-ja no. Getting haughty so easily and ending up like this right off the bat, seriously pathetic.” (Tomoe)
    Does it mean tomoe is being corrupted by makoto’s power?

    1. She almost got drunk on power.
      Now she’s good.
      Time for kicking ass!

      That Dragonb*ll reference is a big nod to the series. I was grinning non stop while reading that. If they think Tomoe is Frieza, wait till the fight Makoto. He’s god damn Beerus!

  37. Well Well Well, never though that regokai would translate the chapter so fast, but it was great, a good old figthing one, it surprises me that they found a method to restrain makoto attacks, wondering if he can find a way to break throug, and the followers are giving hell to the mercenaries. I though I would feel satieted with one more update, but I NEED MOREEEEEE!!!!!!!! Uppsss… almost forgot the obligatory thanks to Regokai for the amazing job as always.

  44. Hey Reigokai did you hear about the statement the author apparently release? i didn’t get to read the raw real time i was only able to see the screen shoot,second i think this statements i bullshitery

    “All in all Tsuki ga Michibuku is like a part of myself sure a part that sometime makes me wanna scream but it’s still a part of me but i’m hurt to say this but Tsuki ga Michibuku WN will revert back to its original schedule which is around 24/26 Every month due to the following reasons:
    1.The LN Project is a project that i really want to make it so that it’s have difference with the WN subtle yes
    2.Writers Block is something i think every author has suffered in some point in his/her lifetime and sadly the truth after this arc i doesn’t really have anymore plans for Makoto only a rough draft
    3.In ACTUALLY i REALLY wanna create another Side stories and weirdly i have more idea for the side stories rather than the main story
    Source:Authors Update 20/08/.2017 (this update is deleted so you won’t find it anywhere hell i was given the raw of this apparently statements by my friend)

    1. if it was deleted means that, the author is having many thoughts and may have retrieve his statements. Means, some statement are true and some have changed

    2. No need to be mad.
      It’s just his way of letting off the steam (writer’s block). Ultimately, he want to finish the LN (book).

      Will he update the WN once a month?
      God knows.

  46. Wow. The day already started so well for me, and just when I didn’t think it could get any better, we get a new Tsuki chapter.

    Thank you Reigokai. I’m guessing you rushed this chapter as soon as it came out.

    —–

    I have a feeling this experience will inspire Makoto to learn how to make a “safe zone” of his own with Sakai. He’s already strong (or was it durable?) enough to take most attacks head on. Imagine if on top of that he was able to rob his opponents of their magic and special abilities.

    As for how he’ll get out of this safe zone, my guess is he’ll use Sakai to nullify it (create “normal” space). Seems like the most straightforward option.

    Since the safe zone seems to affect Hitsuna as well, imagine Makoto using Sakai to only nullify the zone around himself, so that only he can use magic again, but not Hitsuna.

    1. A safe zone inside a dungeon, like in the game. Only the Dungeon Master have the ability to create one.

      If Makoto can create one outside the dungeon it will be an earth shattering concept. As if Makoto became the Dungeon Master of earth itself. That’s borderline Godhood.

      1. To begin with, Makoto’s power has often had a lot to do with the spacial. Invading territory with Sure-Hit, Controlling territory with Sakai, and creating territory with Asora.

        1. Ohoo… Then, is he able to make his opponent unable to use magic? Anywhere in the world?
          Not yet, my friend. Not yet. Maybe in the future. He is plenty OP, and now he just realized his own limitation to give him more space for growth.

      2. Except that Itsuka isn’t the dungeon master. Takane is the dungeon master. And yet, Itsuka’s safe zone still worked within the dungeon. As such, I think it would be possible for Makoto to make his own Safe Zone with Sakai within the dungeon.

      3. You make sound like in the future Makoto might make 1 of these so called Dungeons. Sort like a place where adventures or students to train like the same in that series “Tensei Slime”

          1. It would be interesting to have create your dungeon in Makoto style. I know if does happen Root will get involve with it. And it probably be at least 100 floors in it.

          3. Just you wait. After they are done fixing the world this will might be there new project. I know Tomoko will enjoy doing something like this, to test her sword skills.

          5. With the knowledge he gain from this world he could design his own dungeon (in video games) in Japan. Or maybe the author will have Makoto write is own life story of his experience there in a LN, when he returns to Japan.

          6. That would be a story.

            Fantasy Stories Run in This Family’s Blood!
            The popular novelist’s son continued his series later in life and produced works just as fantastically real and engaging!

            Some long-time fans found it somewhat unrelatable at times and the ones that were only in it for the author’s pretty face were somewhat turned off, but the continuation series has an almost magnetic charisma to it, much like the new writer himself.

          8. I realize if he writes his own LN if gets back to Japan of his own life experience in this world he would achieve something that his parent writers never had. Having his own ANIME! 🙂

          9. I dunno man. I’m a little anxious about something getting an anime these days.

            It might turn out to have crappy production, or it might attract too large a fanbase and we get toxic people everywhere in the forums, ya know?
            It’s a delicate balance between wanting to share the love and wanting it to not get ruined by everybody else.

          10. Yeah, but anime like Death March coming out soon will be base off the LN version and not the WN. I am actually reading the LN of Death March, it different then the WN and like it bit more. The Knights and Magic anime that came out I am reading is sticking with the LN version so far. The 2 LN version series that I wish that put more episodes instead combine the LN arcs would be “Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut” and the 3rd season of “High School DXD”.

      1. Nah, Sakai isn’t all that powerful. He can’t detect that assassin remember?
        Unless… he evolve his sakai into another realm under his power. Normal physics, biology, magic would not work unless it abides his ‘law’. More than Asora. Then.. maybe then we can call it godhood.

      2. He didint sense Rokuya mostly because he uses sakai to hide the Magic armor, remember back at Rotsgard incident where he said he wasnt able to use search so easily anymore since he was hiding the magic armor, also, from the time he fought shiki as Lich, he said he could have sealed his magic with sakai, the letdown was that he wouldn be able to use magic, remember that sakai affects him and the surroundings depending of the scope, but if he cant set one sakai with damage nullification or something like that, well makoto, you are invincible you goddamn magic power monster

    3. I’m expecting something more like his moment with Samal where he uses his Sure-Hit(Or is it just, “Causation” now?) to find a hole in the space and forcibly rip it apart.

      4. I read it.
        I literally read it.
        After a thousand times failure, my brain has become accustomed to Google Translate. Now, finally I can read through Google Translate without passing out/coma.

        “Mio’s attack cuts the sky.”

        I will not give any spoilers.
        Let’s wait for Reigokai to slay this Behemoth of word-maze and cut it to bite-size pieces for us to eat.
        Your turn Reigokai.

  48. Shocked at first then doubt my eyes when I saw notice that tsuki got new chapter, then shock again.
    Thank both author and Reigo-san for the chapter.

    1. A little sad that no matter how much I discuss in the comments of World Reformation, we’re still stuck with “only” one page of comments because the system doesn’t really count reply comments when it determines that.

  58. Thanks for the chapter, Reigo-senpai.

    I’m happy and pissed off. I’m happy that the author gave us a new chapter, but pissed off that I was asleep when you posted the translation!!! Still, I’m very grateful to both you and the author for this.

    And no guys, Spoiler-san will not be returning. There’s nothing to spoil.

    2. If you managed to spoil at this point, I’d have to conclude that you’re actually the author.

      In which case we’d all tell you off for waiting so long between the last few chapters.

  60. Frieza-sama?! At least we know where they stand… -_-UUU

    Thank you for the chapter and thanks for the author who finally decided to update.

    2 years of hard work and good camaraderie finally done (at least translator career is an open choice. Yay for open choices!! ^^)

  61. I came expecting more of Black Jesus, but instead got more of the man who surpasses even the common sense of the gods.
    thanks for the treat reigokai!

  62. This was the last thing I expected to see when I came here hoping for an update. Thank you so much and I do hope the author starts posting again, I’d forgotten how much I enjoy this story.

  65. thanks~

    what i feel when i saw this chapter:
    “Aaaaaaaaa”
    *splat*
    “Ugh, i reached the bottom of the cliff it seems”
    *tried to stand and dust out clothes*
    *starts walking*
    “huh?!”
    “aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
    *falls into another cliff*

  66. an update ~!!!
    yay ~

    so…if Makoto wants… he can tear the “safe Zone” space itself right?
    because the Magic Armor not magical (bird or chanting) attack or destroy the Space itself not included on Physical attack… hmm… quite tricky one ….

    1. Pretty much like how he did it with door-kun. Or he can just overload his limiter equips and make them go kaboom. Would that count as an attack from him? maybe not. it’s a natural disaster.

    3. Then again, Imagine Makoto take a sip in a tea cup but not with his bare hands
      The girl might get supprise by that now

  68. Thank you…thank you T_T
    OMG…this cliff has no mercy at all, this is too cruel. I’m in high yet there’s cliffhanger with who knows when we get the new chap.

  77. Everyday, I fall into a new cliff…
    Makoto said it already, that Tomoe is underestimating her enemies. She wasn’t serious at the beginning. Now only she begins to use the strength she has. … aaaand the cliff arrives. Huh..

    If Tomoe say that the ‘countless attacks’ that she received from them had felt like the ‘one-punch’ she got from Makoto (day 3), what can I say?
    One Puuuunch !!
    Well, they should be at that level cause they’re the Wise. Not mere hyuman.

    (I read it. I’m at work and I read the chapter anyway. My boss is so going to fire me. I don’t care)

    3. Really got told off by the boss.
      Well, I don’t care if I get fired because this job is getting more and more… you know, makes me tired all the time.

      I want to apply for the position of Reigokai’s pet.
      Orca is goid with kids. Orca will look after the house.

          1. That’s a lot of food, you know. And it’s going to need to be even more since you’re free-roaming. °_°

            How do you expect to commit to taking care of kids or watching the house when you’re busy with that?

  79. Thanks for the chapter, good to see this back, and I can’t wait to see Makoto inevitably destroy the safe zone for some mundane reason, we all know it is likely to happen.

  80. It’s a shame that Shiki has to stay behind to hold the fort because doesn’t this seem like a great opportunity for him to build up even more combat experience as the bottom bitch weakest member of the group?

    That’s what I thought at first, but seeing Tomoe actually get injured and seemingly ready to show her real power has already overtaken that in terms of awesome developments. I’m not sure what to call it. Seriousness, perhaps? I was rather pleased with the “seriousness” both Makoto and Tomoe showed this chapter.

    It’s not like they’re usually flippant or whimsical or anything. It’s just that usually, Makoto is hilariously casual in the face of unthreatening circumstances or oblivious to the weight he has on everything in the world. Tomoe, on the other hand, is almost always being written to drive in her “quirk” of her single-minded interest in her obsession.

    Here, we finally see Makoto own up to his own strength a little and try to reject the “peaceful” position he was placed in-all for the sake of getting back to his companions and helping them.
    Tomoe, too. We always knew that Makoto’s followers took pride in their association with him, but we finally get to see “Shen” show itself a little here in both pride and power. Because of the author’s habit of often leaving actions scenes vague or off-screen to show off how unimportant it is, we rarely get to see any of the followers in action, let alone serious. Time to get hyped for Mio next chapter!

    2. If it is combat experience I believe tomoe has more than ten times than the adventurers, you should know that for the dragon, 1000 years is nothing, right? It’s like taking a nap, and I think tomoe has lived a lot longer, taking the fact that she is the strongest dragon only below the root, which means that she did not die and lost her experience, her power without the makoto contract Can it be compared to that of the adventurers, and with the mighty power of the covenant? So I think it’s good to go in the matter of power

      1. True, but…

        Okay. So it’s like in Fire Emblem. You have a Swordmaster(Lvl 16), a Berserker(Lvl 17), and a Sage(Lvl 9).
        When you encounter a map full of enemies that are low level promoted units that aren’t that much of a threat, but are worth decent Exp, my instinct is to use them to level up my Sage before doing anything with the other two.

  83. If possible I would like to know how the extra would look, from what I saw in the raw there is a lot still not translated so I wonder if I will publish?

    1. what do you mean by publish ? or are you talking about you would like to translate the extra into english ? since the translator in zenithnovel have some real life issue for a while in which make him/her cannot translate the extra chapter for a while

      1. I was curious to have so much extra and it has not yet been translated, I thought I stopped and dropped the extras, so I thought that if the reikogai would come to the reform of the whole world if he wanted to do the extra tsuki, but for what I see, the translator In zenithnovel did not leave and had a while

  87. Thanks 4 the chapter!
    *crashing into a cliff face to make sure that this isn’t a dream*
    Ouch!!!

    Probably the first time Tomoe got really serious since her pact with Makoto.

  90. “This was already not even in the range of a katana anymore.
    Then, in what range is it? Fists.
    It was the space for fists.”
    “With the momentum of that attack, a storm of punches that came from left and right coupled with centrifugal force had enveloped Tomoe.”

    Oi. Tell me that I’m not reading this wrong. But did Ginebia just pull a mothafackin’ Dempsey Roll on Tomoe?!

  91. Am I dreaming? My favorite novel is back, goddamnit! Cheers! Cheers!
    Thanks for the marvelous surprise!

  92. I’m not sure whether this chapter was us falling off the last cliffhanger and landing on another cliff further down or just us still falling the whole way through.

    Regardless, this was quite an exciting chapter to come back to after catching up. Plenty of action with neat techniques from both sides.

    I mean no disrespect but, honestly? I..uh…I totally forgot about Hokuto, Shii, and Beren. I thought the “three” Picnic Rose Garden was talking about were Makoto and his two companions. Which confused me because my last memory of this was Makoto being drawn in by a cup of coffee in a brilliant tactical maneuver.

  93. I hope at last i can see some some technique and strategy,not pure power and “i will show you my true power” plot.
    Cuz the adventure of origin have life for more than 1000 years and full experiance and tea time party ,in makoto side they just have makoto who focus in power never fight who equal with him,dragon that alwas sleep in her life,spider that always crazy in hunger,dwarf that just throw exensif weapon like gilgamesh,so they have zero experiance or atlast 2/10.( hakuto and shii like they have some technique and use their head).
    Hope mio will lose or atlast have some injuries for better plot

    Like muten roshi who spend his life in training And then the child with the tail in an instant can surpass him.
    I here just for story
    #Thank for chapter

    1. The trick to this is to avoid hitting the second cliff and just keep falling.

      It’s not easy, so taking a running jump off the first cliff is recommended to accomplish this.

  100. Round 2…. FIGHT!!
    Oh how I wish there’s a commentator suddenly saying that as they restart their battle.

    So Makoto’s pact subordinates are now stronger than the strongest adventurers huh. Then how strong is Makoto as the master now? I’m sure he can just sweep the floor playing solo.

    Thanks Reigokai. I wish the author can make a faster release schedule at times like this that’s full of cliffhangers.

  104. My god, I just love Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, I hope the author continues with the releases instead of being in the hiatus, thanks for the chapter 🙂

  105. Yikes, that fight scene was kind of awful. Massive amounts of inane chattering in between each action and a bunch of cheap references. Completely ruins any kind of tension the author might be going for.

        1. To answer that incomplete question, only Tomoe and Mio count. Everyone else is either only a candidate or still resides in the unofficial and unrecognized “outer harem”, if they qualify at all.

  106. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    WAKAAAAAAAAAAAA
    Thanks for the chapter <3
    (and a nice cliff)

        1. I just started reading in phone after I logges in for the first time but
          My eyesss!!!!!
          It hurt a lot

          I feel you Flying Orca
          Also I found out the reaso why you transformed yourself
          I got news that traffic everywhere by the end of month
          And so on it might still be….(sign)

  108. Hahaha, at last the new chapter. I think the author-san long hiatus is to look some research and idea till summer break and put it together in end summer break and releases it all at once in last minute. Maybe author-san is high schooler/some university student? Who knows.

    Thanks for the chapter, raigo-san.

  109. Thanks for the chapter Bro!!!
    been waiting for the big brawl to start and now time for the thrashing on next chapter.
    hope we get to see makoto fight while destroying common sense hahaha.
    by the way I dont particularly hate this group just that do they really need to antagonize makoto;s group to a brawl cuz if they can just settle it with talking it out you think.

    1. Wasn’t really likely to, but it might have switched over entirely to light novel, with it only updating over there. That’s happened before, story just going “for pay” halfway through.

  113. With all these anime references going around, will someone from the Asora bunch finally go Super Saiyan? Find out next time on Dragon Ball!!!

    Thanks for the chapter 😀

        1. Really? Pantsu? Nothing else?

          At the very least, I’d wish for a rain of good WNs.

          …Also, maybe a wish to make Earth invulnerable to being blown up. I feel like we could get a lot of mileage out of that one.

  115. Thank you Reigokai-san ~
    Gratitude first. As always, will always.
    (I’m working, will read it later)

    I knew you can’t hold yourself from translating this chap. as fast as possible. You resuscitate my English that has gone in coma since Google Translate… I can’t thank you enough.

    Then again, there goes your rest days, huh? Take it easy with World Reformation, TsukiMichi really have to take priority over it.

  117. For some reason I just see Makoto disabling the safety field he is in just to shortly just teleport to Asura to use the bathroom and come back to then proceed to annihilate anyone that gets in his way with just the look of complete calmness while doing so. Anyone else?

    1. I’m more interested in seeing how he responds to any of his followers getting injured.

      Right now, Makoto is operating with the mentality of “For the sake of Tsige and to help Rembrandt out, I’ll recruit these people to the best of my ability.” and is very serious about it.
      It’s completely different from the mentality of “these are enemies that are going to harm people precious to me”.

      1. Technically, Makoto had already respond to it…
        He is transmitting his Magic power to Tomoe after Tomoe received the punch, that’s why Tomoe’s hair color had turned to silver…

        Thou I really want to see his expression or inner thought

        1. Is that what happened?

          My interpretation was that he transferred his power to her and Mio ahead of time and the whole reason Tomoe got injured in the first place was because the power got to her and she let her guard down. Hence, the monologue she had.

          1. Makoto mentioned there is a little hole in the room where he can use sakai outside so Tomoe must have receive it with the link thingy skill that I forgot lol

    1. its good to know that makoto is so strong that his punches in his first fight with tomoe are as strong as someone that trained for a lot of years(and he wasnt even using magic if I remember right)

      1. Pffft! I totally didn’t realize that before you mentioned it!

        In his defense, drawing a bow apparently takes a lot of strength, but clearly not the same kind.

  125. Ok, so in short, they finally understand that she’s not a normal Superior Dragon, but they have yet to become aware of Tomoe being the Muteki, the “invincible” Shen, second to Root.

    Honestly, I still believe that even if she didn’t have the boost from Makoto, that she would still be able to win if she fights seriously. She wouldn’t completely stomp the shit out of them, but she would still win.

    1. Her reliance on mist probably outed her from the start, but they were already on alert about the power up from Makoto too. No, I don’t think she would have won without the pact, notice how she compares these punches to day three Makoto.

      1. Maybe, but the thing is that I still believe that Shen would have been able to win against Makoto when they first met. Maybe not in pure brawn, but she could have won using her other abilities, her actual expertise. She doesn’t need to fight directly.

        Makoto became more powerful after her pact as well, and thus at some point reached a level where even her tricks and special abilities wouldn’t have mattered. However, when she was facing Makoto, it didn’t seem like he was certain to win at all. To me, it felt as though the combat stopped only because she got interested in him after looking through his memories. Just having higher raw power doesn’t mean you will win against someone whose abilities bypass most defenses.

        1. He broke out of her mist prison Asora, before she could release him, if things had continued she would have lost. It was obvious from the start, it’s why she sealed him off in the first place.

          1. I don’t think the mist prison is the one special ability of Shen, but regardless… These adventurers of origin aren’t as powerful in raw power as day 3 Makoto. One of their strongest attack was felt as equivalent to a normal punch with magic power from day 3 Makoto. The only thing that have that’s more powerful than day 3 Makoto is them having special skills. But even then, those special skills have limitations and the use of their best technique appear to tire them to some extent.
            I still think Tomoe would be able to beat them without having the Makoto boost.

      2. Also, Makoto’s punch was a normal punch with magic power in it. The attack comparable to it that she received in this chapter was an attack that seem to be tiring to use from what I get of that adventurer of origin’s dialogues.

        In short, the feeling of that person’s strongest(or some of her strongest) punches felt like a normal punch with magic power that doesn’t use much energy from day 3 Makoto. There’s thus a difference.

        1. The full powered punch described at the beginning was from one of the mercenaries fighting the Beren group. There was no sign that Ginebia’s punch was especially straining, they seemed to be just getting started over there.

      3. Not only that, but Tomoe at first wasn’t even fighting them seriously. She was only trying to fight them with the katana at first instead of with her special dragon powers. She hadn’t even use her dragon eyes(which don’t come from the makoto boost). The power Tomoe has displayed before using the power-up is in no way Tomoe’s full power without the pact. She wasn’t taking her opponents seriously enough.

        Also, if I remember correctly, Root had once implied that even if Sofia had gotten the powers of all superior dragons other than Grout, Shen and Root, that she still wouldn’t be to beat Grout. And that even if she got Grout’s power added to the mix, she still wouldn’t be able to beat Shen. There’s a huge power gap between even the superior dragons. And that was the case for Shen’s power before her contract. Heck, hasn’t it already been implied in the previous few chapters that the adventurer of origins felt that attacking Shen in the wasteland was a bad idea?(with that happening centuries before Makoto arrived in this world)

        1. Tomoe has been having trouble using her “dragon” abilities since the pact, she was serious enough at the start of the fight, but still thought she would be overwhelming them without using her full potential. Having a bit of a tougher fight also fits in with her period drama role play. The Apfel had other reasons not to attack the Superior Dragons, like the strong relationships they’ve formed with them in the past.

          1. Tomoe having difficulties using her dragon abilities after the pact isn’t valid for what I was saying. When I was saying that she would win against them without the pact boost, I meant that literally. I meant her in dragon form as seen when fighting Makoto. As in Shen before the pact.

          2. As in Shen when she was weaker than Mio, who was defeated by about level 900 people, Apfel is way beyond those kinds of levels, they can evenly fight against apostles.

          3. The Shen being weaker than Mio was ONLY in terms of levels. It has already been revealed by Root that levels don’t actually mean much. That it’s only calculated based on the number of beings killed(and on the strength of those killed).

          5. Yeah, Mio did put out more of a fight, because of her regen at a level beyond that of anything else in this world, and with higher raw power than Shen/Tomoe.
            However, Tomoe had a much higher mastery of techniques. She did mention many times that she didn’t feel any weaker(not meaning only raw power) than Mio.

            Please don’t focus on a single moment and take it out of context. Mio’s approach in combat is more direct, while Shen/Tomoe fights with powers that act indirectly.

          6. Mio takes punishment, and uses her shadow/dark spells to eat magic. Shen relied mostly on her raw strength backed by illusions in the mist to disorient her foes. They had had similar strength, but different methods of attack. Once Makoto got past Shen’s illusions, she wouldn’t have been able to tank the hits like Mio did.

          9. I just now went to the chapter where Makoto broke the mist prison, and he did so with raw power. If he hadn’t done that, he would have been stuck in another illusion and himself felt that depending on the illusion he might have very well not been able to get out of it.

          10. He didn’t believe her happy fantasy, you’re saying the next one would have held him any better? His power only broke the mist box he was supposedly trapped in, stubborn denial had already broken the illusions of the “invincible” Shen.

          11. Quote(chapter 7):
            ““This is not my reality” (Makoto)

            How frail, I am ashamed of the me that was played to this point.

            To the me that must have wanted these two to do this kind of fools play, I am ashamed.

            The tears that flowed from my regrets I wiped them off with my sleeves.

            The world that was warping heavily.

            To think this is an illusion.

            I who had already understood the general situation am now firmly looking at the world around me once again.

            There I am, just inside a deep, very deep mist.

            “That wasn’t on the level of mirage. Damn it, damn it!!” (Makoto)

            If I am a bit careless I will surely be swallowed by that illusion again. Next time with what kind of carnal desire, to which other person that I can’t meet anymore will I tarnish?

            That kind of thing, I don’t want to see it again. I will not be able to take it.

            But before I think of a clear way to get out of here. I have to hit the walls of this small world at least once or my heart won’t settle.

            I have to clear away this regret and pitifulness. No, I can’t go without doing so.

            “Shen, I thank you for reminding me of my pitifulness” (Makoto)

            Without effort I find the wall. The walls that enclosed me in this deep mist.”

            quote number 2(also ch7):
            “My passion was cooling down so I whispered the aria of brid multiple times.

            “Calling out one girl after the other!!” (Makoto)

            A red light revolves and envelops my right hand and forms a spherical shape. It may be my imagination but I felt that the power of this was a lot higher than the last time I used it.

            It’s most likely because of the tension!!

            I stand firm on the surface with my left leg as if trying to bring it down.

            Using the way of shooting a straight I saw in a boxing manga as reference!

            In my hand I carried the fire ball!

            “I am already tired of your shit Ibukiiii!!!” (Makoto)

            To my club friend, to the friend Ibuki that has received how many talents of heaven, along with all of my dissatisfaction, I with all of my strength hit the wall!!”

          13. Sorry it’s actually more shame and self-pity that broke the illusion, tears fooled me into typing sadness. Though he was also sad that he would never see his friends again, so there’s that.

          14. And so, in the end it doesn’t seem like we are going to agree with each other no matter how long we argue about this…. and I have other things I need to go do right now.

            I personally still feel that pre-pact Shen would have been able to beat those two adventurers of origin(according to the power they have been shown to have so far) as long as there is no outside intervention by more adventurers of origin or by some of their powerful allies.

            Of course, this opinion of mine can very well change after I read the next chapters, but this is how I currently feel.

          15. The illusion itself isn’t the mist prison. The illusions are simply things that happen inside the mist prison. To get out, he needed to break the mist prison. Also, mist magic has been said(if I recall correctly) to be linked with spacial magic. That’s the reason why Shen’s asora was thing. That’s also how the mist prison seemed to function. It was a secluded spacial magic prison, and to break it Makoto had to use the highest raw power he had used so far. Far more than the amount that was in the punch and in his other attacks against Shen up to that point.

            The “anger” he used to explode the box(the actual mist prison) was the raw power I meant.

            The power he used to break the box was far greater than what he had previously used against Shen, and that the attack used by the monk adventurer against Tomoe was compared to the punches of Makoto. Also, the adventurers said that such an attack would be enough to kill a normal superior dragon, and that the reason it didn’t work on Tomoe was only because of the pact, but we do already know that as Shen she had already received such an attack and survived.
            While we don’t know the exact durability of the mist prison box, I feel that we are led to assume that it was broken due to the raw power of Makoto with his magic with it being far superior to the punches.

            I personally don’t think the punches would have broken through the box at all, but there is no clear evidence of it being able to break it as much as there isn’t any of it not being able to break it. As such, I’ll let this point go.

            Finally, now about the possibility for Makoto being trapped in another illusion and possibly not being able to get out of that one, in the first quote I copy pasted, Makoto says so himself. That’s the reason I quoted it.

          16. If you look at the way they depicted it in the manga, the reason he couldn’t break the mist was because it was flexible, it just flowed around when he flailed his arms around. The brid bomb punch he used to break out was overkill, the attacks used by the Apfel so far, probably, would have broken out of the original Asora mirage prison, and Makoto’s Brid Punch probably would have killed Shen, if he hadn’t already mostly cooled down.

          17. What makes you think that Makoto wasn’t using magic in his fists when flailing to get out of the mist int he manga version? Those normal fists with some magic power of Makoto were compared as about equal to the strong attack of the adventurer of origin monk girl. Also, in her case it seems to have been done with a technique rather than just putting magic power in her fists like Makoto. Most martial art techniques require the feet to be on the ground(or a specific movement that can include jumping) for the attack to have real power behind it. If she was just floating in the mist, she wouldn’t be able to break it. She also doesn’t seem to have anything as powerful as that multi-brid-fireball-punch of Makoto.

            Also, I personally prefer to use the novel version when speaking of the novel.

          18. I mention the manga so that you will understand, that the mist box was behaving like a bubble, and Makoto needed either speed, reach, or an explosive attack to get out. If he was fast enough, he could have burst out before it could reform around him, if he had a weapon (or attack) with some added reach, he might have been able to burst it from the outside in, and if he had thought to used an explosive spell from the start it would have been blown away. The Apfel members have shown all those in just this bit of their fight with Tomoe. The only thing she could have done to slow them down before the pact, was to confuse them with illusions, but it’s hard to say how effective that would have been, her illusions couldn’t become real before.

      4. Actually, Hakumokuren did mention that figthing Tomoe was tiresome.
        Also, I’m pretty sure those two would be stuck in the mist prison. The only reason Makoto got out was due to raw power.

        1. Hakumokuren isn’t the one throwing the holy punches. Makoto broke out of the illusion prison, because it pissed him off to be shown such a fake reality, he unleashed his power in anger after he started escaping.

          1. You guys are so intense~ can’t we just agree that Makoto got out because he punched the mist prison? Makoto himself said he punched the damn thing~ raw power and anger may as well be the factor as to why he is able to break the prison. Anyway this topic is really nostalgic.

          2. I guess I could throw in my two cents bucks into this debate.

            Personally, I don’t think we have enough information to really pit Shen against the two Adventurers of Origin. If I had to guess, I would be leaning in favor of Shen though, if only because Aznoval deemed fighting her to be unreasonable and reckless. And if I had to guess who would’ve won in the beginning, I just can’t imagine Makoto losing to Shen in the end.
            There were a few assumptions in your arguments that I want to challenge, however.

            Firstly is the power of the Holy blessing-augmented series of punches from Ginebia can’t be confirmed to be on the same level as Makoto’s punch in the beginning. Tomoe made that comparison before actually receiving the attack and she only compared it to Makoto’s attack because both were strong enough to trigger her “danger” instincts.

            Which is stronger? It’s hard to say. Neither did any long-lasting damage. It’s worth mentioning, however, that Tomoe has been powered up significantly compared to her Shen form back then and still felt danger. It’s more of a wildcard than any helpful information,but worth mentioning nonetheless.

            Secondly, I don’t think emotions have much to do with how powerful attacks are. Makoto mentioned it being stronger when he broke free, but I interpreted that as obliviousness to his power growth back then. He willed himself to have more power…and so he got it. Not quite the same.

            Thirdly, experience is also less of a factor than is worth arguing for. Shen is much, much older than the adventurers, but she spent most of her time sleeping, so she already lacks the experience to reflect her true age. The Adventurers of Origin are in much the same boat in that they aren’t just wandering immortals-they’ve regularly laid dormant for many years at a time.
            When you consider that Haku and Ginebia are familiar with defeating superior dragons while Shen existed before hyumans even stepped foot in this world, I’d say we can just leave their experiences as about the same in terms of combat assets.

          3. We don’t need to fight over other’s opinion and approval of our own belief imo. I say we just enjoy the story, because one thing is clear… Makoto is too op for any of the adventurer. So it doesnt really matter how he broke the cage, the point is he is strong enough to break the cage and more. And again this is just my stance in debating about plot and character, “Enjoy the story, take what’s good, leave the bad, and debate if you must but don’t get too far.”.

      5. Oh, Pikli bear. My friend. You are ever the peacekeeper here.
        If you can’t stop them from debating, just join me swimming in the open sea.
        Oh, a bear can’t swim? Surely you jest. I saw you in swimming suit last week. And there was a female bear with you. That’s not PantasmaNamer

  127. Silver hair, onee-san type female, dragon eyes which give Noble Aura, big oppai, dragon girl, samurai, super loveable and devoted. Damn is it just me or did she just get a major upgrade

  128. By the way, how will you manage your time in releasing the chapter of tsuki ga michibiku and world reformation? How many days for each chapter?

    1. They will go with the same schedule, whenever a Tsuki ga Michi chapter comes out, it will take full priority and take over the release of World Reformation.

      1. Hello reikogai, thanks for the posts :), if possible I would like to know how the extra would be, from what I saw in the raw there is a lot still not translated so I wonder if I will publish?

      2. It’s not like we’ll be getting Tsuki ga Michi chapters often enough to not immediately catch up anyway.

        It just makes more sense to stay on top of the current story as it develops and slowly catch up to World Reformation otherwise.

  130. Thank you!! I’ve only just caught up with the main story after a long break. I didn’t expect it to take so long with the incredible length for each chapter. XD
    Thank you again for all the hard work on this series! I still need to read the PoV and extra chapters before I can jump into your other series. XD

    1. Also realizing from previous mistakes, I no longer get an email with over 100 sub emails on it~pong
      (finally that disaster was over…never again will I click notify me of new comments via email~pong 0_0)

    1. oh crap, shouldn’t have read this chapter yet.
      Should have waited a few more months till this arc, or at least one battle ends
