“Traveller, great to see you here.”
Having arrived at the Earth Church’s headquarters, the Grand Crimson Palace, I was guided by a member of the church to the inside of it.
There, the person waiting for me was a man of around 50 years old.
From what I heard, this man is the Founder of the Earth Church.
I couldn’t hold back my agitation from being so easily allowed to meet such an important person.
“Don’t worry, even if I am the Founder, I don’t have much to do in such a countryside as a leader. I always welcome guests that can alleviate my boredom.”
He has a slender face and looks like he is skinny, but his limbs have proper tough muscles, and the more I see it, the more I could tell that he is muscular.
How to say, should I call it an ideal musculature? If you were to train arbitrarily, you wouldn’t be able to get these kind of muscles. It is a figure that can only be obtained by people that continue working everyday and strengthens your body in kind.
His tanned skin also tells me about what kind of lifestyle this person leads.
“A countryside church? No way. The Earth Church is one of the five Great Churches that lead this world, isn’t it. Also, in the way here, I saw the big farm that extended further than the eye can see. Such a big agricultural land, no other churches possess something like that.” (Haine)
“All of it is the blessing of the Mother Earth Goddess-sama.”
I offered some lip service as a greeting of sorts, but the Earth Founder took it modestly.
Even so, calling the big farm that spreads at the surroundings of Ishtar Blaze as the biggest one of all might not be too far from the truth. I was indeed overwhelmed by its magnificence after all.
“Mother Earth Mantle-sama is the Goddess of good harvest. The crops that sprout from the earth and bear fruit, everything is thanks to Mantle-sama. And if us, who worship Mantle-sama, are to waste the blessing of the earth, that in itself would be a blasphemy.”
“That’s splendid!” (Haine)
I feel like I have met the first Founder that’s acting like an actual Founder.
With a cool gesture, the said Founder takes a tobacco from a tobacco box that was at his side, and lights it up.
Every movement he did felt like that of a millionaire.
“But, in this Ishtar Blaze, there’s a lot of things different compared to that of the other church headquarters. Specially that…” (Haine)
“The Golems? It is true that the outsiders that come here for the first time all get surprised by it.”
So it really was the case.
The Founder puffed out smoke of the tobacco from his mouth.
“For us, that’s something pretty natural. Since before we were born, Great Pillar-sama was there, and we grew alongside those Golems that Great Pillar-sama gave birth to. The Golems are our friends, and they are also our benefactors that help us in our daily life.”
“Uhm…this may sound rude but…I still find it hard to accept.” (Haine)
Because monsters are the enemies of humans by nature.
“I understand the confusion from the outside. When I was young and awakened my need to learn more in order to become an appropriate Earth Founder, I travelled to other countries to obtain experiences. By doing that, I learned this for the first time; about how abnormal our relationship with the Golems is.”
“Then…”
“Yes, I have seen it. In the other water, fire, wind, and light churches, they fight against these things called monsters, and suffer. Our Earth Church also uses divine power, and because of it, we can tell with our trained senses…that monsters are the same thing as Golems.”
It is more accurate to say that Golems are a type of monsters.
“Of course, monsters also appear in the surroundings of Ishtar Blaze. Fire, water, and wind element monsters, that is. Our Earth Church also sees them as a threat and doesn’t neglect on preparations. Our military force, the Scorched Earth Annihilation corps, and the assigned earth hero are doing their best.”
“Ah, so there really is an earth hero.” (Haine)
Well, obviously.
“She is currently in a mission so she is away from the Grand Crimson Palace, but if you are going to be staying long as a guest, you can meet her once she returns, and I would like it if you were to tell her stories of the outside. She is also a person that carries the church on her back. I want her to widen her view as much as possible.”
The conversation deviated a bit.
The Founder plays around with the tobacco inside his hand for a bit, and then, returns the conversation back to the original topic.
“And in the fights against the evil monsters, the Golems also work as strong allies.”
“Must be. With that big frame and power, it would be able to deal with normal monsters plenty enough.” (Haine)
That means the Golems are helping out the humans in many aspects.
I wouldn’t have been able to imagine it before coming here. To think it would be possible to create such a harmonious world by having humans and monsters cooperate…
I now understand why Yorishiro warned me not to bring any ethereal devices as best as I can.
And in reality, I have seen almost no ethereal device since entering this city.
Because there’s no need for it.
The plowing of the big agricultural land, building houses, repairing them, and moving around, even the fighting that has ethereal strictly forbidden, Golems are able to participate in it.
If I were to untactfully bring ethereal devices here, the people here would instantly notice that I am an outsider and I would stand out in a bad way.
“Guest-san, as the Earth Founder, and also as one of the humans living in Ishtar Blaze, I have thought of it for a long time; what are Golems for us? There’s a saying that states monsters are the punishment of the Gods towards humans for forgetting their respect. If that’s really the case…”
The Golems who help out humans even though they are the same monsters are…
“…Might be the blessing of Mother Earth Mantle-sama for the humans that venerate her.”
That’s indeed a way that can be taken.
Even when they are the same monsters, compared to the other elements, only the earth monsters are acting differently towards the humans.
And among the five Churches, this place was able to develop in a way that is different from the others, but at the same time, in a way that doesn’t fall behind the others.
Proof of that is without doubt the big farm.
“…Oya, no good no good. Now that I notice, we have been talking about myself all this time.”
As if relieving his throat, the Earth Founder smokes his tobacco.
“Even though I had you come all the way here, it was rude to have you hear about stories of this old man all this time. Now, I want you to tell this country bumpkin about your stories. Now that I think about it, I haven’t heard you name yet. Really, it is embarrassing how bad of a reception I’m providing.”
“No, it is true that I was late to introducing myself. I am sorry about that. My name’s Kuromiya Haine.” (Haine)
*Karan*
A dull sound reverberated in the Grand Crimson Palace’s floor.
The Earth Founder had dropped the tobacco he had in his hand.
“?!”
It feels like the expression of the Founder changed.
The narrowed eyes of the good natured old man were now wide open and staring right at me.
“…Uhm, is there something wrong?” (Haine)
“N-No no no no! It is nothing, it is nothing! I probably just smoked a bit too much and the strength in my hand went away!”
Saying this, the Founder hurriedly picks up his tobacco, and once again drops it by mistake.
This suspicious behaviour was indeed weird, but I can’t just try to inquire about something that’s clearly a landmine.
As long as the other party doesn’t state the reason of it, I will just have to feign as if I didn’t notice. After some harmless conversation, the talk with the Earth Founder ended.
- 96: The guiding of the *Kodama* <A spirit in Japanese folklore that inhabits trees>
And then, night came.
I, who was provided lodging at the Earth Church for one night, was sleeping in the guest room of the Grand Crimson Palace.
In the past, I have stayed in the guest room of the trading and sightseeing city Hydra Ville, and this one was simpler than that one, but that made it easier to relax and sleep in.
But I can’t sleep yet.
I still have something I have to do.
I first wait for a good amount of time feigning as if I’m sleeping and wait for the surroundings to grow quiet.
“…I think it is already good enough.” (Haine)
The presence that was peeking from the neighboring room is gone.
It is probably the lookout of the church. Maybe it has to do with the Founder clearly having a turn in his attitude when we were in the middle of our conversation?
But since they soon stopped their surveillance once they thought I had fallen asleep might mean that they don’t think I am such a dangerous being.
Do I hold some sort of crucial importance to them?
I am bothered by it, but right now I have something I want to clear out first.
I jump out from the window of the guest room and…
“[Dark Matter, Set]” (Haine)
I use the repulsive force of the dark matter and fly.
Repeating this again, and again, and again, and again.
The place I am aiming for is…the big tree that represents this Ishtar Blaze, also called ‘Great Pillar-sama’, and I go up, until I reach its top.
Up, up, up, up, up, up,up,up,up,up,up,up,up…
“………….”
Am I still not there?
I was underestimating ‘Great Pillar-sama’…
I understood that it was an incredibly tall tree even when looking from far away, but I had not understood it at all in terms of feel.
After a time that was plenty enough to count to 1,000 with time to spare, I finally reached the leaves that can be considered the summit.
But well, this is a tree not a mountain, so even if I say summit, there’s only leaves everywhere I see though.
It is not reliable as footing, so I was using dark matter to hover in place, and so, I search the surroundings carefully.
What am I searching for?
I have been feeling it for a long time now. A gaze that has been peeking at me without rest. Even in the time when I was having a conversation with the Founder at the Earth Church’s headquarters, in the time I entered Ishtar Blaze, in the time when I caused a commotion with the Oba-san and the Golem at the farm; in all those times, I felt a gaze.
And when I confirmed the figure of this big tree at the far away mountains, I felt this gaze as if examining me from afar.
This big tree is being called ‘Great Pillar-sama’ by the people. The reality of it is that this is an Earth Mother Monster, Grandma Wood.
Of course, its roots should be different to other trees.
The unbelievable size goes without saying. There’s also the point that it can create this bricks called Life Blocks that possess life, but…
There should be other things as well.
“You can hear me right?! Come out!!” (Haine)
I shout at the peak of the big tree.
I took that much time to reach here from the ground, so even if I shout out my lungs, the people down wouldn’t be able to hear me, that’s why, there’s no need to hold back.
“I noticed it, you know! You were watching me, right?! I felt a gaze the moment this tree came into my field of view!!” (Haine)
That’s right, this thing that has nothing different aside from its big size, is in truth not a tree.
It is a monster in the shape of a tree.
Just like the trees growing in this world, it can’t speak.
The most it can do would be to observe the person that has come to its own territory with the objective of destroying it.
“Isn’t that right?! Am I mistaken?!” (Haine)
And then, a change occurred.
In this footing that has been a single blanket of green…a different color appeared.
It was like the color of wisteria, a light pink color. At any rate, it is a vivid color, and yet, a faint and fleeting color as well.
That’s the color it had…that flower bud.
“Flower…bud?!” (Haine)
Even if I say flower, it is coming from a giant tree. The flower that is growing from it is also pretty big itself, and its bud already surpassed my height.
“Or more like, this tree can grow flowers?!” (Haine)
And then, the tip of the bud slowly opened and spread into several separated petals. And from inside it, what came out was not a stamen or a pistil, it was a woman.
She is not a human; I could tell that with a glance.
She has a figure that is quite similar to that of a human woman, but in the first place, normal humans don’t come out from flowers. Also, at the surface of her body, there’s things like wisterias and peaches that have a vivid yet fleeting color.
And, I myself understood something the moment I saw her.
“…Are you…Mantle?” (Haine)
Mother Earth Mantle.
One of the five Gods of Creation, and the Goddess that governs over earth.
As the incarnation of the Dark God Entropy, I can tell.
I don’t know for what reason she appeared in the surface world with a body, I was so dumbfounded I couldn’t say anything.
And then, after a while of silence…
“………..I’m sorry.”
“Eh?”
She suddenly apologized.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please forgive meeeeeeeee!!!” (Mantle)
The big woman shouted a storm of apologies while crying?!
“Uhah! What’s with this?!” (Haine)
“Please forgive meee!! I will do anything!” (Mantle)
Is what she says as she clings onto me.
Moreover, this Mantle…even though she is in the form of a human, she is so big I can’t think of her as a human.
She came out from a crazy big flower that came out from a crazy big tree, so the woman that came out from it was also crazy big.
She easily surpasses my height.
Try to have someone like that cling onto you. It is like having a big dog pressing you…but that wouldn’t be enough to describe this. It is like a giant beast, like a lion or a tiger jumping at you.
Against a beast that has a certain amount of strength, it is life-threatening to try and play around with it.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sooooooorryyyyy!!!” (Mantle)
“As I have been saying, just calm down already!!!” (Haine)
With all the confusion, the release of dark matter was cut off. And because of it, the repulsive force it was creating was also gone and…
“Gyaaa!!”
“Hyaaa!”
Mantle and I both fell and entered the overgrown leaves of the big tree.
97: Holy Flower
“I thought I was going to die there!”
Having lost the ability to float, I fell down inside the foliage and, luckily, I got caught in a branch and it ended with nothing major happening. I say branch, but we are talking about Grandma Wood here, so it is big enough to be called ground in itself. It is more than enough to consider it a footing.
And if I were to fall without stopping, I would have definitely died.
But, the moment I fell onto the thick branch, Mantle who came falling down after had crashed onto me with those giant breasts of hers and I felt as if I was going to die crushed by them.
I felt like I was going to die twice over.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorryyy!” (Mantle)
The giant woman prostrates on top of the branch.
A big woman that you can easily state that there’s no adult man that can grow as big as her.
From the women I know of, the one who was the tallest was the fire hero, Mirack, but even when comparing her to Mirack, from what I can measure with my eyes, she is at least 1.5 times bigger than her.
Of course, she is taller than me as well. If we were to line up, my face would be right around her breasts.
But, since the time I encountered her, the only thing she has been doing is chanting those same words and prostrating herself, so I don’t really know for sure if my measurements are actually correct though.
“I’m sorry, please forgive me. I will do anything~!!” (Mantle)
And this giant woman is still apologizing.
What is she even apologizing this much for?
“…Uhm, first of all, you are really Mother Earth Mantle, right?” (Haine)
“Yes! And you are the Dark God Entropy-san, right?!” (Mantle)
Well, yeah.
If she can tell my identity it is proof that she is also a God.
“That body…did you incarnate as a monster just like Nova and Coacervate?” (Haine)
Why do the four Base Element Gods like to incarnate into monsters that much?
“…No, it is not. This is just a temporary body.” (Mantle)
“Hm?”
“In order to communicate in the surface world, it would be easier to have the ability to sense and speak. It is one of the abilities I have as a Mother Earth God. I can connect my senses directly into any plant I want. I call this ‘Fairy’.” (Mantle)
Saying this, Mantle looks down at her own body that is shining faintly and shows slight embarrassment.
“It is normally in the size of the palm of a hand, but it seems it is proportionate to the plant that was made as the source. I didn’t expect the ‘Fairy’ created from Grandma Wood to be so big…” (Mantle)
A power I didn’t know of.
The powers of the Mother Earth Mantle are not only of the earth, but it also includes the vegetation that grows from it as a whole.
In that sense, it can be said that her powers are a lot more wide in range compared to me -the Dark God.
“It is not that convenient of a thing though. This body has no ability to fight after all. The most I can do is really only conversing……ah, there’s also one other thing it can do! Want to fondle my breasts?” (Mantle)
“I won’t!” (Haine)
I have plenty enough of that with Karen-san and Yorishiro.
When I straight out rejected it, the expression of the excited Mantle suddenly froze.
“As I thought, Entropy-san, you really are angry!” (Mantle)
“Eh?”
And then, she began crying.
“Uuuuuh~~!! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry~!! You can fondle other things aside from my breasts, so please forgive me~!!” (Mantle)
And she once again begins with the storm of apologies.
Moreover, she is not only apologizing, she is also clinging onto me, so with that big body of hers pressing onto me, I might get killed.
“Eey, give it a break already! In the first place, what have you been apologizing all this time for?!” (Haine)
“But Entropy-san, you are angry, aren’t you? About what happened 1,600 years ago…” (Mantle)
Aah.
“That’s why, since the time you incarnated, you fought Nova-san and Coacervate-san, and turned them into beaten pulp. And now, you are looking to serve vengeance upon me too, aren’t you? We don’t know where Quasar-san is after all…” (Mantle)
I see. So she is talking about the Battle of Gods that occurred 1,600 years ago…
I was sealed for 1,600 years after being defeated by the five Gods of Creation. Now that the seal has been undone and I am free, she thinks I am now going around beating them up to clear away my grudge…that’s indeed a plausible conclusion.
Also, beaten pulp?
“I am reaaaally sorry! I didn’t really turn into your enemy because I hated Entropy-san or anything like that! I didn’t want to be left out of the group~!” (Mantle)
Saying this, the giant ‘fairy’ prostrates herself once again.
It is true that this woman has been like this since the long past.
How to say it, it is like she is not independent at all, or more like, she doesn’t hold her own opinion. She ends up being pressured by her surroundings.
Her wish is probably ‘I don’t want to be the enemy of anyone’.
And because of it, when there’s a confrontation, she wants to be good for both sides and ends up unable to say anything herself.
Even so, in the fight 1,600 years ago, the fighting force was so inclined to one side that she judged it was impossible to stay neutral and decided on joining the other Gods.
In other words, a fence-sitter.
“…But in these 1,600 years, the situation has changed greatly. You four Base Element Gods have changed due to being bathed way too much in the prayer energy and are unable to show your former strength. And the biggest factor is that the Light Goddess Inflation is no longer on your side.” (Haine)
“Hyu!”
“Frankly speaking, in the battle 1,600 years ago, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was a 1 vs 1 between Inflation and I. I possess an absolute advantage against you four Base Elements, but I am completely powerless against the light element. Having Inflation as your ally is akin to me being checkmated already.” (Haine)
But because of the rise and fall of the Dark Underworld Country that occurred after the battle of Gods, Inflation ended up changing into a Goddess that would definitely kill the four Base Elements.
Even if a battle of Gods were to occur again, she won’t be siding with the four Base Elements again.
“Now that I think about it, I heard you also supported the destruction of the Underworld Country.” (Haine)
Right at the time when the history of mankind had begun, the Light Goddess Inflation had incarnated into the human called Izanami, and what was created was the oldest nation of all, the Underworld Country.
The first time humans had shown development in culture and progress had hurt the superiority complex of the Gods and because of it, the purging begun.
With the disasters that were brought by the Gods and the invaders from outside that were influenced by them, the Underworld Country fell.
The ones who perpetrated this were the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Base Element Gods. In that group, Mother Earth Mantle is included.
“S-Sowwy~~!” (Mantle)
Because she cried too much, her voice was incredibly nassal.
“I had no choice~! The three of them came at me telling me to cooperate~~! If Inflation had been there, I would have been able to oppose them a bit, but she had been missing for a long time, moreover, when we found her, we discovered that she was actually the incarnation of the queen of the Underworld Country~~!!” (Mantle)
She really is a girl that gets easily pressured by others.
According to Yorishiro who knows about the events of that time, Mantle was conservative in the destruction of the Underworld Country and had cooperated with the other Gods unwillingly.
The desertification that occurred was a slow advancing one compared to the disasters from the other Gods, moreover, it ended up being helpful in the seal that Inflation did.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. You can fondle anywhere you want~~!!” (Mantle)
The Mother Earth God rubs her forehead on the ground, or more like, the branch that’s serving as our footing.
This might be considered her personality but, that attitude of hers that makes you question ‘Dignity of a God? What’s that?’ is on the contrary very refreshing.
“Hah…it is fine already.” (Haine)
I said this while losing strength.
Previous Chapter l Next Chapter
Thanks for doing this chapter!🤓
Thx for the Chappy, Reigokai-sama ~!
OMG!! Mantle is sooo Adorable!!! Like I said at the top comment; I’m digging her!! I’m sooo digging her!! I want her!! To be with Haine-san!!(or more like I want to EAT HER, and freaking tease her~ to my hearts content~) This kind of girl are my type too~ I can’t believe she is one of the girls / womans that charm me when I read her dialogue ~! XD
I am getting kindof sick of how females are portrayed in this series. Not just Karen and Inflation, who are basically puppets for his affection, but now Mantle as well. The male gods are just bad and gets a beating, and the females are apologetic and ugh…
‘You can fondle other things aside from my breasts, so please forgive me~!!” ‘
Who the hell wrote this?
What this is thing doing here?!
Shoo Shoo!! Eww!
Mantle’s monsters are helping her human worshipers.
However if he kills the other mother monsters the water God will definitely come scheming to make use of the earth mother monster.
Besides the tree being the central point of the Earth country
Troublesome situation
Thanks for the chapter
oppai everywhere!
please dont kill mantle
Thanks for the chapters!
Thanks for the chapter. The whole thing between Dark, Light, Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth Gods and how each can fight and win against each other is sort of like the rock, paper, & scissors battle.
Dark can be Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.
Light can win against Dark.
And Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth (together) can defeat Light.
looks like it’s similar to some jrpgs. light and darkness oppose one another. water > fire > wind/air >earth >water.
Yes the series is but I was referring to how the God’s fighting each other is like that the rock, paper, & scissors battle. If the Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth Gods do not work together then they can not be the Light Goddess. If 1 fights her alone then it would be then that 1 would lose to her. That is what I was getting at.
So Dark God<Fire, Water, Wind, & Earth God(if they join forces)<Light Goddess<Dark God.
Kind like that circle with the starter pokemon games. It forms in 1 circle.
thanks for the chapter!
“She has a figure that is quite similar to that of a human woman, but in the first place, normal humans don’t come out from flowers.”
What? they don’t?!!

Thanks for the chapter
If haine was a bit more of a pervert and had less self-control, and this was another type of novel he might had gone for the fondle and maybe beyond that lol, I mean she is a fairy/dryad it’s on the top 10 of monster girl ppl wanna fuck XD. Tho Yoshiro and Karen would kill him afterwards.
Anyway, ty for the chapter!
THanks for the chapter!
Well going by how mantle was told so far I figured he wouldnt fight her since he said he hold no grudges and the two fire and water gods just pissed him off xD
Thanks like allways Reigo
I really curious what happened next..
she was called grandma all the time, but her character looks like a child.. kinda makes me wonder…
well, thank you for the hardworks. 😉
Lol it will be really funny if mantle actually a cunnning goddess like tranquility girl, she secretly act apologetic but always planning on the back.
If so, then she’s a better manipulator than Coacervate.
I’m completely willing to let my guard down in terms of expecting malevolence from her. If she’s bad for humans, I can only see it as her making them too dependent by accident.
Thanks for the chapters Reigokai (●ω<)
And I'm so late…
Thanks 4 the translation!
Am I a bad person to have this overwhelming urge to tease the Earth Goddess?
Also, what if the rumor of Haine conquering the Light hero and Light founder has reach the ears of the Earth founder? It would be funny if he was worried about the Earth hero’s chastity.
Mantle is super adorable and definitely the type to be fun to tease.
We might need to see more of her first, but she feels like the first god that could feasibly dwell among the mortals as herself. As a Zelda-esque repeated incarnation if nothing else.
Is that Mantle or Mei . . . Evil mei . . . Sorry sorry sory~
Thanks for the chapter
TBH personality of Mantle was within my expectations so I am not so surprised
I’ll be honest and say Mantle is unexpected ahahahaha
I expected her personality to be one that is easily bullied but not like this lol
This is the first time in this novel that I didn’t get a bad impression from a god (dess) even Inflation at first is suspicious
Thanks for the chap ~
* Warning! Curmudgeon! Warning! *
This would be a considerably shorter and better story without the incessant repetition of things that the reader already knows. Oh you’re the dark god entropy? You don’t say! I mean, you hadn’t mentioned that in at least a paragraph so I was beginning to forget!
The awkward pratfall fan service doesn’t really help the story much either. Why? Why would you want to evoke some of the most forced, badly scripted fan service ever to chew it’s way free from the bloated festering afterbirth of the anime industry?
You know… it’s over chapter 90 now
The time to read in order to see if it’s of your likings or not has long passed. If you don’t like it, just stop reading. And would be nice if you stop commenting in world Reformation’s posts. It’s annoying for those who like it, and am sure it’s also annoying for Reigokai, who was the one who picked it up based on the recommendations and his personal criteria.
he must be one of 50th cent army, scattering in NU sites, those ‘cultivation’ fanboys..dislike and give low rating to all japanese fluffy, mofu2 novel or death march hater
Regokai’s a good translator with a solid enough handle on his own writing that I’m sure he’s aware of this stories strengths and weaknesses without me needing to point them out. Anyone too thin skinned to deal with criticism of one story element should at least e~ventually learn to stop reading past the curmudgeon warning. Oh right, * Warning! Curmudgeon! Warning! * ‘scuse me.
Oh, and thanks for the attempted* attack on my character, fireboyz. It really rounds out the bad argument trifecta. You know, as a connoisseur of the fluffy are you sure this story is right for you? I’m sure I could point you toward something with more ‘uguu’ and ‘fuee’ if that’s your thing. <3 ….Or hey, read Sumire 16-17, if you need a case study for fluffy done well.
* Yeah, no. Cultivation stories tend to be tiresome litanies of word salad magic power-ups with no internal consistency, and I'm fairly indifferent to death march. It's not the most wretched thing I ever stopped reading but it didn't grab me.
Reigokai’s an excellent translator who has already asked in the past for readers who don’t like the stories he translates to stop commenting and drop his proyects in silence and leave without their unnecessary and unwated comments as it dampers his/her motivation. Your’s may be a critic, and it may be right, but it’s still an unnecessary and unwanted one. If you don’t like it, then just stop reading and commenting.
And while the attempted attack* of fireboyz may have been uncalled for, so was your; “you know, as connoisseur of the fluffy are you sure this story is right for you?”. Some people may like something without an actual reason, you know.
Oh, and that about stopping reading past the warning, if you’re saying you’ve always stop reading something because of a warning or a spoiler alert, without taking a look even once, then you’re most likely lying. And if not, good for you, but there are people who just can’t stop their curiosity.
Again, if this isn’t your cup of tea, then please don’t comment justsave your negative opinions or complains to yourself and just stuck to Tsukiganichi, which is the story I assume you’re here for.
And just save*
It is okay, I don’t really mind the opinions.
I understand that this is not the cup of tea for everyone.
Let me give you my own points as to the reason why I chose this story.
-First of all, I know that this story is riddled with cliches and the story in itself is not really well-written. I’m sure if someone else were to write it with the same base, it might have turned way better.
-Which brings me to the next point, the base in itself is what attracted me the most. It is true that there are a lot of shortcomings, but the base of the story in itself is what got me. I grew interested in how this world was build.
-The character interactions were enjoyable as well, each one of them has their own character traits which I found enjoyable to read -if we ignore the occassional cliches.
Yes, there’s a lot of shortcomings, but I honestly want to see what will be happening in the story and enjoy how the characters in it interact with each other.
I know that Stop Sign has been following my translations for a good time, I am glad you took your time to judge.
But as you can see, this is indeed my taste at work here. I found charm in this story despite its many shortcomings.
And while the attempted attack* of fireboyz may have been uncalled for, so was your; “you know, as connoisseur of the fluffy are you sure this story is right for you?”
Yes thank you, that’s what I was going for. I like to point out what people are doing by turning it around on them*. Like how you want me to stop reading and commenting on the story because you think I don’t enjoy it… while simultaneously reading and commenting on my comments and… Look, I made an exaggerated point of spelling out exactly what the comment was and you missed it. It was critical, but it was also self depreciating sardonic humor. That’s why I prefaced it by calling myself a curmudgeon. Getting upset with me for being a curmudgeon is… redundant? Laugh it off.
* I then immediately followed that by demonstrating that fluffy wasn’t actually something I dislike at all and that it can be done well. That contradiction was an intentional jab at the construction of the first argument. It’s making fun of the idea that I’m some fluffy hating monster by making fun of myself.
I always read typical comment like yours so, i usually leave that kinda people coz i more like to like mind my own business my preference is my own only anyway and never let people dictated how i should like what novel i should read, but yeah i fed up.it baffled me is it that hard to just leave when you don’t like..but people is so self important this day and like hey i have my opinion hear me out if not i’m gonna cry, its like when you on movie theater and someone somewhere snoring so loud..

Thanks for the translation
*Giantess fetish activated*
Sorry but I’m on tall, big girls and all round up and down
Thanks as always.
What a cheap woman -_- wow…worse than what I’ve imagined before. Offering her body like that…well, she has nothing else though…
That’s not her body. It’s only a puppet that she controls with her powers.
She is literally the earth.
Everyday mankind torture and r**e her.
I pity her…
🙁
Thanks. As always, great work 😀
late again….. :<
well….. its look like she really want Haine to 'plow' her 'mountain' *wink wink nudge nudge*
But she already has golems for her farming needs…
Aqua? Aqua?! A wooden Aqua?!
well they do say *censored* earth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nice! Thanks for the chapter~!
I’m late again today… hahaha.
And so we now have the disappointing Goddess… Aside from that does she actually have a thing for Entropy as well? Well either way, from what we’ve seen just now it would take her more than a million years before she were ever able to do anything like confessing her feelings (but then again, what the heck is up with suddenly offering up your breasts at the first moment of an apology?!). Either way I predict future headaches in my case for what happens between Mantle and Haine (and Yorishiro).
well she easily got pressure by the others demand…. maybe Inflation already pressure her for a dibs first on Enthropy…
I think it is the only way for her to apologies and as you imagine that mantle has all eyes everywhere that Haine just keep grabbing chicks every time or so she thought..
I hope she’ll be inflations rival
Maybe she’ll join Karen’s expanding harem.
Is there any illustration for Mantle?
yeah, all I’m getting are charts of the Layers of the Earth… XD
…So, a slightly weird question.
If a guy one day just strokes, squeezes, or even grinds against a patch of earth, would Mantle feel uncomfortable about that? More than any typical sane person, I mean.
that give me some thinking too….. if someone drilling the earth does she feel like someone is using some kind of adult toys to her ?
Geology intensifies?
I wonder whether a personification of a planet would find extensive knowledge of geology to be a sign of intimacy or just plain creepy?
On one hand, a desire to get to know her, on the other, you’re aware of her composition in very precise percentages…
I can’t imagine it (sexualizing the earth).
Pity the earth …
that’s why rule34 exist…
A question. If ‘rule 34’ exist, does it mean that a perverse version of ‘rula 34’ also exist?
Is there any illustration for Mantle?
I Found this: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2867554
Hmmm interesting…..
ohhh yeah let us all fondle you
maybe he will forgive you 😉
ty for the chap
*Hugs a boulder near my workplace*
*Got charged by authority for sexual harassment*
“I don’t even… “
We can’t have perverts that wantonly hug boulders loose in society!
Really? Then what about those people who does mountain climbing? Or jungle trekking? Or just goes swimming in the sea? Does it sound perverted to you?
I’m sure mother earth don’t mind us doing all that.
Swimming isn’t Mother Earth’s domain. Mountain Climbing is more a mixture of cooperation and a competition of dominance.
Exploring the jungles though, might be…Not to mention the caves…
Oh, that’s right. Water isn’t Mother Earth’s domain. (Fun fact: Water originates from outer space. Ancient asteroids brought the components to primitive earth and the natural system recycles it into the water that we know. So, yeah. Water is actually extra-terrestrial)
Mountain climbing sounds perverted to me. As much as racing through the hills and valley.
Caves… Wow.
Now that you mention it, exploring caves is really interesting.
I’ve done it once before and I still remember it like it happen yesterday.
It’s fun. Even though climbing up a steep mountain to the cave entrance was tiring, everything else pales to the beauty of the cave’s natural formation.
But it was still hard, dark, wet and slipery.
…
…But isn’t everything technically “from outer space”? Who knows what minerals and matter used to be separate pieces of floating rocks until they collided together?
About that, heavy metals and rare minerals are often from outer space too.
Ones that doesn’t form naturally on earth or exist only in trace amount (non replenishing).
What I meant by extra-terrestrial is that it doesn’t exist on earth since the beginning/formation stage of the planet, they’re introduced to our planet via external cosmic forces.
Yes. Not everything is from outer space.
Speaking in a more grounded manner, most things ARE from earth. Even human beings…
But the advancement of human civilization uses A LOT of substances that has extra-terrestrial origins. Take metal for example. It brought forth the Bronze Age and even now we use some rare earth elements in our smartphone.
Earth doesn’t produce these things. If we use them until all are depleted from earth, the only way to get more is to travel the space. Or wait until an asterouid hits earth. Or just recycle them.
I hug a matress but none will know except internet
Stellar nucleosynthesis is responsible for the formation of nearly every element heavier than lithium.
The matter that makes up all of us was rent from the heart of if dying stars by explosions that would dwarf our solar system.
Megumin, eat your heart out.

What? Fondle? From Karen and Yoshihiro? When? I don’t remember
Plenty sure it happened off screen, probably.
thank for the update
Awww! Mantle is quite adorable, actually. Rather than “Mother”, she’s more like a clumsy big sister. I’m not gonna lie, she’s already got me charmed and something about her pushes all the buttons to make me protective.
Hmm. So her ability to link her senses to all plant life explains how she was able to bring Coacervate recon on Haine’s subduing Nova. When you look at his actions outwardly, it does seem like he’s out for revenge too, so it’s not like she’s really unjustified for being scared.
The jury’s still out on whether or not she can be good for humanity, but one thing’s for sure. She’s not at all malicious towards humans and her desire to stay on good terms with everyone is a refreshing change from the self-centered, asshole gods we’ve seen so far.
…Also, she seems really into the idea of letting Haine fondle her boobs. Are we sure the chapter “To the Mother Earth’s bossom” isn’t in this batch?
Yey!! Shy goddess kita!!
I wanna fondle…
dont we all ? ….
Thank you Reigokai ~
Even the Founder got surprised to hear Haine’s name.
Maybe… he was present at the water stage and he saw the fight.
Maybe
More likely he knows the name of the “dark hero/light hero’s assistant” and is wary/hostile to outside influence. 😑
I suspect he heard from Mantle through an oracle to be wary of a guy by that name or something.
Mantle seems panicked enough to put her followers on alert for him.
Ever wonder the title “sage”
Was Haine famous?
I think that it’s a reaction to his name that sparks up his mind about something like in the past or something. Which makes it more interesting.
Haine is infamous for taking having a harem.
This isn’t your regular damegami but a masogami.
Prediction: the members of the church will try something, and she’ll end up apologizing endlessly again. 😏
It’s scary how likely that seems from the hints dropped in this chapter.
I can’t wait.
Thanks for the food 🙂
[……ah, there’s also one other thing it can do! Want to fondle my breasts?]
okay…. this Airhead Goddess is become my Third Best Girl ~
She can’t be an airhead, though — her element is earth, not air! She’s just… really dense. 😝
But…! Celestis! But Karen! But Inflation!
NUWAAAAH! THIS IS GONNA WREAK HAVOC WITH MY RANKINGS SYSTEM.
…Oh wait. I can just put her in a separate category for non-harem members. Nevermind.
nahhh you need to put her on the ‘breast-rank’ category (waiting for her art so we can check how big is hers)
Maybe you meant “Third Breast Girl”, hehe…
..Okay, I’ll show myself out of here.
why am i imagining her going FFUEEEEE nonstop like some kind of those type of anime girls that got teased a lot,,
Mine for the 1st
Bhahahhaa
Thanks for the chapters, Reigo-senpai.
Oh Mantle… are you trying to insert yourself into the harem? Or do you think that Entropy’s a perv!?
Both. Both is good.
Now to see whether or not Haine can resist her or if he’ll break like the lonely puppy he is.
As Inflation/Yoshiro is borderline yandere material (as in she only accepts Karen in the harem so far), I think he might decline.
well…. he maybe decline but that wont stop Inflation/Yorishiro to making some kind of plan…. maybe she’ll be like Nana from desumachi…. want to make a lot of Haine’s different kind young organism
I’d say both ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I didn’t even get the update! *sigh* Thanks for the hard work as always
A goddess that don’t mind fondling from a guy she dun like.
What the hexk
She is a huge Masogami……
What do you mean? How do we know she doesn’t like him?
At the very least, they might’ve been on good enough terms for it to not bother her.
could be she like him but got suppressed by Inflation and her inflated bazoonga~ maybe threatened using some Yandere methods :3
Remind me people. Why did Inflation work with the other gods to seal him?
Jealousy. He is more interested in humans than her.
Since Water God (Forgot his name) Coerced her and told her that Entropy might love humans more than her… It was stated on the “Underworld arc Sins chapter”
That shitty god of water incited her. 😒
Not it wasn’t the water god that planted the seed of jealousy into the light goddess, even some chapters ago someone said that it wasn’t the water god that did. I got the feeling it’s the wind God now or even some person we don’t know about yet.
No, I speculated that as a plot twist, but Coacervate being the culprit makes the most sense.
Meanwhile back in light church the founder for some reason keep hitting the earth.
Chappy o ariga..tai…
… (-_-)’ what kind of goddess did I just read here? Easy to intimidated… I feel sorry for her.
Not at all dignified, and yet…isn’t she one of the most god-like out of everyone we’ve seen?
Even Entropy is more fixated on being like human than acting with the dignity of a god.
Inflation is technically flouting her duty too, but she gets a free pass because it’s from trying to bone some dude she got fixated on, which is very god-like.
Now that you mention it, that is very godlike, she saw a guy she wanted, so she incarnated as a human, and threw herself at him….

Uwaah. I missed it again.
Thanks for the chapter.
When you steps on your pet dog’s tail….
You apologize nonstop… How come this group of chapters remind me of this…
Hahahahahahahaha
And now I can’t help but imagine this petal/dryad/fairy girl petting Haine’s head like crazy.
And as outwardly annoyed as he might be, he’s a guy that gets lonely easily so direct affection might be surprisingly effective.
Don’t forget the hero is a girl anf she might accompany Haine in order to understand the outside
Thanks for the chapter~!
I never thought they would figth against Mantle, but she going so far to get forgiveness and the last kumoko like question ‘Dignity of a God? What’s that? (Is it tasty?)’ was a surprise.
After seeing Nova and Mantle in succession, I can confirm. A god’s dignity is tasty.
NAI WAAAA
Thanks for the chapter!
Oh sick, top five!
Thanks for the chapter
Ok I was a bit disappointed there when she utterly apologies childishly but she just my type gehehe
First I like earth element most in four element base
2nd is she is tall and big( hehehe)
3rd she is a fairy of all things, a dryad? I say
dayum
And I’m ok with her overly timid nature
(New Waifu here!)
I forgot, I don’t mind fondling something all day righttttt
That’s it! Her timidity and meekness is what’s really got me charmed.
Freaking adorable. Most of me wants to protect her, but the rest is telling me that she’d be fun to bully.
Totally dig it
she just lack the ‘FFFUEEEEE’ trademark shout voice of the teased girl i think…
wow she can be good friends with Rishia
I’m just imagining her as a (currently) oversized loli. Like her body is enormous but she looks like child.
Daym it! I’m digging her! I’m so onto her!! She is so adorable!! So WEAK but so big(?)…
Anyways, I can’t get enough of her, this is Great! Hope she gets to be with Haine-San at least.
Thanks for the Chapter!
Wow…..that’s Mantle? Lol.
Yeah, I kinda expected this. Lucky goddess, Haine isn’t the vengeful type. 😅
Lots of clues that she wasn’t exactly the stereotypical “ground” element person.
Thank u always for ur great work…
^^…
