Chapter 287: Can I get a hundred?

“Ah, if you don’t feel well, tell me as soon as possible, okay? Well then, over here.”

I am already feeling terrible though.

As expected, even I am questioning all this.

Azu-san was walking to the front of us carefreely as if he were a tourist guide.

This is the other side of the balloon torsion. In other words, the world of the dead.

Something shining faint red was drifting in the atmosphere.

Or maybe not? Is the air itself changing colors?

Is this air that can be inhaled?

From what I remember him saying, I should be fine as long as I have the Magic Armor deployed, but…well, I can’t feel relaxed.

I feel as if we are walking at dusk in a place where sound has died out.

For some strange reason, there’s no sound of footsteps either.

The sensation at my feet is soft like that of sponge, a soft sandy beach; there’s no other words I can find that can describe this accurately.

From here, the landscape before Azu-san who is at the front is changing constantly.

At times, he stops and continues walking again, and at those times, when he does a step forward, the surrounding landscape changes completely.

A stone paved path, a forest, sand dunes, lake surface, deep inside a jungle, and also a townscape that felt familiar…and at times, there’s even the ironic cemetery. Even though the feeling at my feet was not changing at all, the scenery in front of us was changing constantly.

“This is no illusion, but this is not real either. World of the dead huh. What a strange place.” (Tomoe)

Looks like Tomoe is still fine.

Just in case, I have strengthened her into her silver haired mode.

Even so, I have no assurance that allows me to feel relaxed. That applies to me as well.

The impressions she is voicing out are not that different from the ones I have.

But, as expected of a person that uses illusions, it seems she also suspected that the abnormality in our surroundings could have been the work of an illusion or something related to it.

I see, an illusion huh.

It is true that this view is somewhat similar.

I have only experienced this a number of times in the past though. It reminds me of the feeling I get when I experience the ability of Tomoe.

There’s similar points with what’s happening right now and the experiences inside my head.

Even if this is not an illusion, it might be related to the past memory of a lifeform.

“Calling them inhabitants would be weird but, aren’t there any dead people here? I don’t see anything of the sort here though.” (Makoto)

I try asking what was bothering me.

It seems this is not the first time here for Azu-san, so it should be worth a try.

“…Fumu, if you are imagining something like undeads, there’s nothing like that here.” (Aznoval)

“…”

It is true that I was imagining things like skeletons or zombies; in other words, things that were related to bones and dead bodies.

So there’s none here?

Now that I think about it, undeads are dead people, but maybe they are the figures of the people that didn’t want to come here and stayed in the world of the living.

Or maybe they had grudges or lingering feelings that bound them to the world of the living?

…

It may not always the that way in Buddhism, but in Shinto, I feel like there’s a tendency of judging them as impurities.

Or more like, practically everything was like that.

In that case, my way of thinking of the world of dead might be closer to that of Shinto.

“Apparently, they are going around in the form of souls. I don’t really have much perception abilities of that type, and I am not the type that has high sensitivity to those things, but there’s souls existing here and there, so it seems people that have perception abilities normally die here.” (Aznoval)

“Heh~.” (Makoto)

The situation is overwhelming me right now, lessening the amount of words I let out.

I try to deploy the [Sakai] I normally use to search for living things in the other side.

At that instant, everything I could see in the area was filled with reactions.

I see. It doesn’t work at all.

I have to adjust it to one that can be used in this world. I wonder if it is possible.

“It seems the landscape here is also because of the ubiquity of the souls or something like that. If you have interest in the details of the area around here, Futsu who is waiting at our destination can tell you about it, but…if you can’t understand the world travelling explanation of Root, you won’t be able to understand this one either, you know? By the way, it was impossible for me.” (Aznoval)

“In that case, it would be impossible for me too.” (Makoto)

“So you felt dozy at the middle of it until it ended huh. From what I remember, there’s only one time I have been able to hear that explanation of hers until the end and the questioning time also lasted for several hours. There’s no need to feel ashamed about it. It was a pleasant experience after all.” (Aznoval)

Azu-san laughs heartily.

This lively laugh of his didn’t fit this place at all.

Or more like, pleasant experience?

“…”

“Root has spoke of this to most of the Wise she has met, has made joke-like conditions, and has carried them out. Could it be Root was Makoto-kun’s first?” (Aznoval) <Reminder: Root gave the condition that if they didn’t manage to listen to his explanation till the end, he would ‘eat up’ Makoto>

“…What?” (Makoto)

“If it’s that explanation, we were also present and listened to it till the end. And while at it, Waka…hasn’t been attacked, Aznoval.” (Tomoe)

“…Oh, that’s quite the rare case. There’s only been one who has been able to listen till the end, and they had a discussion in a mysterious language, and after that, if it’s from the opposite sex -and at times, even of the same sex- she would attack them and it would go all the way. Makoto-kun wasn’t able to understand the explanation, moreover, wasn’t attacked huh. From the atmosphere you let out, I thought you were born in the Heisei period <modern times>, but maybe you were born in the Showa period <1926-1989>?” (Aznoval)

“Why did it turn into talk about my age?” (Makoto)

I don’t understand what this has to do with anything.

“Refusing something like that would need quite the hard personality, right? I simply thought the Showa period had more guys made of tough elements, you see. Or maybe you already have a woman set in your heart?” (Aznoval)

“…Ah.”

The face of two women surfaced in my head.

…Eh?

Without even one second passing, the figure of Tomoe and Mio were also added there.

…

This is the worst.

Is my way of thinking such a pushover? That’s no good.

“Hm, but even if you had such a woman in your time at Japan, you are currently in a parallel world. It won’t serve to inhibit your desires at all. Then…aah…” (Aznoval)

“…What-ja, Aznoval? You are making a face unbefitting of a knight-ja ga.” (Tomoe)

“So that’s how it is. It is not Mio-san, so that means, you were already in that kind of relationship with Tomoe-san huh. Ah, so that’s why Root noticed this and didn’t try anything.” (Aznoval)

“…I am impressed by your discerning eye. Umu, you didn’t hit the mark, but it isn’t far from the truth-ja na. It is true that Root couldn’t do anything because of me-ja yo.” (Tomoe)

It is far from the truth.

We are not in that kind of relationship.

Regarding the latter half of that, Tomoe listened till the end, so we were able to reject it ourselves, so in a sense, he is indeed correct though.

“…Is Ne-san a court lady? I see…that is plausible. But Makoto-kun, Mio-san is lovable as well. That woman is definitely the type that would be by your side till the end no matter what happens, you know? Luckily, this world accepts polygamy, so…” (Aznoval)

In the time I was feeling self-deprecation at the harem thoughts that were somewhere in my head, the conversation between Azu-san and Tomoe was flying at unbelievable places.

Seriously, these two ride way too well in horrid topics.

“Once the legal wife is decided, things might turn that way unexpectedly fast. Umu, now that I think about it, we haven’t had much of this kind of conversations. Looks like even a troublesome knight-dono like you can be of use to some extent.” (Tomoe)

“Oya, isn’t Tomoe-san the legal wife?” (Aznoval)

“Hm? I wonder. I don’t really mind the order anyways.” (Tomoe)

“But if you get married faster, it would make it possible to leave many more children faster, right? Giving birth to the child of the man you love; this is the privilege given to women. From the people I know, there’s a Japanese man who married a dragon woman half, and many have lived happily.” (Aznoval)

“…Children huh. The holy child of Waka… Fufufufu…kukuku…True. I do want it. I want it fast.” (Tomoe)

The face of Tomoe had turned into the ‘grinning face’ she rarely shows.

But this doesn’t look like the face of a woman that got happy about understanding the privilege of women.

The closest comparison would be that of a grandparent waiting for her grandchildren.

It probably has already surpassed the level of parents.

“It is something natural.” (Aznoval)

Azu-san nods in understanding.

No, don’t go nodding.

In the head of Tomoe, I probably have married who knows how many wifes in the future.

…

What’s this?

Just now, I felt a strange chill running up my body.

Also, I feel…a strange gaze I have never felt before.

It is not the gaze of someone. I feel as if I am being watched by the whole world. That shouldn’t be possible, but I have no other way of describing this feeling.

“I was thinking of arranging everything first so left it for later, but it might have been a huge mistake. Mio and I are different from hyumans, so who knows what will happen in the future. Are you saying this was a task that we should have tackled as soon as possible?!” (Tomoe)

“You are still young, moreover, it seems your company is doing well. In that case, there’s no worries in terms of the assets. If you can count on the support from your surroundings, this troublesome knight proposes this foolish idea that even if you don’t suddenly aim for childbirth, you should begin training for the step before that, princess Tomoe.” (Aznoval)

The step before that.

Ah, I see. So that’s what it is.

“No, troublesome? I was simply ignorant of your consideration. Forgive me, Aznoval. Now that I think about it, it is exactly as you were worrying about-ja. There should be women aiming for him even within the Gorgons, and his resistance towards us might make him wish for a child from Tamaki.” (Tomoe)

…

H-How should I enter the conversation to change the topic?

It is so deep that my countermeasures for it are right now completely blank.

“It seems like you have heard about the knowledge of Japan from Makoto-kun, so there’s probably no need to say this but, in Japan, no matter how excelling or appealing of a man or woman you may be, you can only marry one person.” (Aznoval)

“Umu, I know.” (Tomoe)

“That’s why, you may at first not care about being the second wife or lower than that. The men that have become the husbands of Root get used to harems pretty fast, but Makoto-kun is most likely different.” (Aznoval)

“Fumu fumu.” (Tomoe)

“That’s exactly why being the first wife is important. Depending on her, it will affect his view of a second wife.” (Aznoval)

“I-Indeed.” (Tomoe)

“From what I have seen, there’s no doubt that first wife will be Tomoe-san or Mio-san. A happy married life is definitely awaiting you! In that case, when are you going to make your move? There’s no need to even ask that! Isn’t that right?” (Aznoval)

“You are right! The moment is now-ja!!” (Tomoe)

No no, it is still only been one day since we met Azu-san for the first time…

Saying stuff like ‘isn’t that right?’ and ‘when are you going to make your move?’, from which company did this seller come from?

Also, no, the moment is not now-ja.

“Yeah yeah, I am glad to see that you understand. I want Makoto-kun to have a fulfilling Isekai life with no regrets.” (Aznoval)

That’s totally a lie.

You are currently trying to destroy my peaceful life with all you have, you know?

“By the way-ja ga, how many wives can a Japanese man manage to support-ja?” (Tomoe)

“…This one depends on the person. From my acquaintances, the highest number is 60, but I also know one who fell apart with 4.” (Aznoval)

“Mumuu, even when thinking about the highest number, there’s the need for each one to give birth twice to even reach the hundreds. T-Then what about the age-ja? Is it possible to make children no matter the age?” (Tomoe)

“…”

T-Tomoe brooke!!

No, she got broken!!

My throat is dry.

Throwing away the part about the number of wives…a hundred children, she says?!

Moreover, it sounds as if she is not satisfied with that many?!

Is this a conversation you should be doing in the world of the dead?

Or more like, this is just a joke right? Where is the ‘you got pranked’ panel?!

“Sorry, but this also depends on the person. The top age I know of is 82, but the lowest was 40, he was unable to fertilize children no matter how much he tried…” (Aznoval)

“W-What?! If we think about it from the worst case scenario, that means Waka only has 20 years left?!” (Tomoe)

What are you saying with such a straight face, Azu-san?

The guy that was able to make children at 82 years old must have been some sort of superhuman, and the guy that couldn’t make children by 40 probably had some sort of circumstances behind it!

A disease, a wound, or maybe something happened in an adventure, there’s also the possibility that he led an excessive sexual life and it dried him before time.

I totally refuse a lifestyle like the latter one, okay?!

Also, don’t say things like ‘only has 20 years left’, that’s incredibly improper!

“Ah…” (Makoto)

The moment I opened my mouth because I felt like my life was seriously going to be rewritten…

“Aznoval, what are you joking around for? I thought you were going to be guiding them here as guests, but you have only been talking loudly about their lives. Don’t you see that the souls are losing their composure and beginning to get noisy?” (???)

I could hear a voice reverberate in my head.

It was a voice that was directed at Azu-san, but I certainly heard it as well.

Tomoe must have heard it as well, but…

“Making babies… what a blunder-jatta. Making babies-ja…” (Tomoe)

She probably heard it as well, yeah.

I have an idea of who that voice is.

There’s only one possibility after all.

“Futsu, it has been a while. Also, I wasn’t joking at all.” (Aznoval)

The words of Azu-san confirm my guess.

A blue hitodama in a form similar to the souls that I imagined them to be were appearing countlessly around, gathered together, and combined to make a single form.

It is a dragon, but the oriental snake type of dragon.

What a fresh sight.

It is floating, and compared to its big body, its arms are small, and on its hands, it is holding spheres.

The contours of its head are slowly becoming clearer.

The horn is incredible.

An extravagant horn with ramifications like that of a reindeer, and at each section, it becomes wider as it goes up.

“So this is the existence that is on equal footing with Root… Futsu.” (Makoto)

“Now I am only the manager of souls though. Nice to meet you, outstanding one, Misumi Makoto-kun.” (Futsu)

A pleasant voice permeates inside my head.

At the place I am looking at, there’s Futsu.

It has taken form with its body covered in silver scales.

But it wasn’t as if its form was fixed to only that one.

At times, Futsu would turn into a pale dragon that felt as if it were made out of ectoplasm, and at other times, it would turn even paler, transparent like wind. And there are times when it is in the middle spot of materializing and being transparent.

But the form Futsu used to greet me with, the one where it materialized completely into a body where it is covered wholly in silver scales, was a mysterious view like no other.

“…”

Tomoe’s eyes were wide open.

It was easy to tell that it was because of surprise.

This type of presence is not one that can be faked.

Meaning that, at the very least, it is already clear that there’s actually a dragon that’s comparable in strength to Superior Dragons.

The appearance of a comrade that didn’t exist in the vast knowledge she had of this world.

It would be great if she gets into her serious mode and the conversation just now gets washed away though.

  3. When I first read this I didn’t mind him avoiding the topic or freaking out about it especially since he was only 17 at the time. But now hes 20 and it’s just straight up so dumb the lengths he goes to and excuses he makes to avoid the topic his reasoning behind it is so paper-thin and filled with immaturity lmaoo😭. But on the other hand, it’s not like this story NEEDS him to have a love interest/love life in order for the story to continue.

    At first, I was like oh he probably has feelings for that girl back in Japan and just doesn’t realize it but after a while I was just like nah maybe not now he has 2 women devoted to him and openly making themselves clear and yet he’s still so dense about it. 🤣

    At that point it’s not just stupidity and immaturity it’s downright deliberate. If you ask me I think he’s 1 still stuck on views he would have if he was back in Japan 2 I think he’s avoiding it because if he accepts it he’ll have an even deeper attachment to the current world he’s in and is afraid he’ll just settle for what he has then and there a lot like Hibaka and Trashmoki.

    (it doesn’t help that Trashmoki completely destroyed a ‘harem’ in his eyes and to be real he destroyed it for me too. 😭I was always just like well as long as it’s not just a bro tryna get down and dirty it shouldn’t matter especially if Polygamy is normal in said situation but Trashmoki completely shattered harems all altogether for me lmfaooo like I get chills thinking about that chapter LMFAOO it really just depends on the people in said harem and the person it’s centered around.)

    AHEM!! BUT ANYWAYS — I really don’t care who he ends up with tbh both Mio and Tomoe care for him so its just like eh its not that deep but I do agree he’s being unnecessarily immature and dumb about the topic 🤣. The topic itself is really just brain food for me to chew on whenever I feel like actually thinking about it instead of just skimming it and being like “oh so hes still being an idiot huh ok moving on.” 😭😭

  5. My boy seriously has some discipline, well he is a dedicated archer so understandable but man, the guy cant catch a break too. He was already broken when Mio asked for a night with him but time wont allow it. Romance needs time to develop and Makoto simply doesnt have it.

    His life is too dense this mf.

      1. He said his life is dense not that Makoto is dense so what I can infer from it would be that there is a lot happening in his life

          2. Yeah, so many times I look back and get embarrassed at how heated I can get (though I can never hold a candle to the people hating on this arc–)

  6. So Tomoe and Mio want a 100 kids each. XD Doesn’t surprise me. I still say the mc will end up immortal at some point. So it won’t surprise me. lol

  10. That time when Root was explaining about the transfer between worlds, Tomoe understood it all and this way the condition was fulfilled. She straight up lied to the face of Makoto (not her usual obfuscation or misleading) about it too. She was not moved to talk about it when Makoto decided to stay when he could have taken the door home in no small part because of his attachment to her. She did not mention it during the conversation in the present chapter. For this reason she is disqualified in my eyes to be the one he would accept as his wife (as he is set on having only one)

    1. I don’t think so it’s not wrong to always be selfless for your Master as his Servant/Slave but even Tomoe can’t imagine the life she would live after Makoto return to “his world” after her talk with Lut about how Lut husband died and aftertaste she was pretty shaken by it so I wouldn’t blame her

  12. he was unable to fertilize children no matter how much he tried…” (Aznoval)

    Ummmmmm I know what you’re trying to say here but you should REALLY rephrase this.

    1. Nah Van understands his waifus want a lot of kids. lol Also the mc of death mage can reverse aging at this point. So he can forever remain fertile. XD Also he will have a very large harem as well. A few of them i like so it’s not so bad. XD

  14. Please do NOT add Hasegawa and whatever-her-name-is into their relationship. Tamaki is also a no.

    Keep it at 2, please.

    1. That hasegawa Hero girl?
      Also root, i don’t like him either, im not into slut

      But Makoto must have more than Mio & Tomoe, more~

      1. Hasegawa is the girl at school, he’s Makoto’s junior, there’s also a girl that is the president of archery club, both girls and Makoto is in archery club and they’re inlove with Makoto, Hibiki is the student council president and the heroine of Lorel

  15. But Makoto isn’t a Japanese by genetic because he’s a “hyuman” so he can’t have babies with Tomoe right? Or am I tripping?

    3. Humans and hyumans are very close dna wise. Hyumans were changed slightly by the goddess to fit in what she wants a human to be. Plus other summoned people from earth have had many kids with hyumans in the past. It wouldn’t be any different from what the mc can do. And even one of the members of apple, the first gen priestess was mentioned she had descendants.

  16. “Yeah yeah, I am glad to see that you understand. I want Makoto-kun to have a fulfilling Isekai life with no regrets.” (Aznoval)

    Azu is really a true Bro. It’s time for Makoto to start acting like a man, he’s 20 already that’s A L A R M I N G to say the least

    1. I honestly thought he was just on his teenage years on the way he acts and looks like. He’s way too imature in fact that I doubt he hasn’t activated his growth spurts or anything at all. Even a boy in his adolescence is hornier than him. Like wtf?

      1. He was 17 when he was isekai’d and it’s been around 2-3 years but yeah he has a severe lack of hormones lmao

    2. Its understandable to not want to go at it without love but tomoe and mio clearly love him so there’s absolutely no explanation for his behaviour. I wish the author fixed this

      1. Excuse me for this but.

        Just because you love someone, does not mean they have to love you back. Otherwise Stalking wouldnt be a thing.

        EDIT: Alright, gotta edit this. Stalking would still be a thing for murdermurderstabbitystabbity reasons. But besides that, I do believe most stalking is related to romantic ideas that are usually one sided as hell.

      2. Things already started to change in earlier chapters. With the dreams(failed timelines that no longer physically exist) the mc were shown. And then the hot spring and bathe chapters. Plus he was asked you must have someone special to you. And both Tomoe and Mio popped up in his head. lol So they are already there. It was mentioned by the mc he was afraid to move forward. That’s why there’s hesitation in general. It’s also been already stated the mc is a late bloomer. But more than one character. Including demon king zef. XD

  17. This Anzu dude. Being friends with Futsu while also being friends with the one who killed Futsu sounds kinda… Fucked up.

  18. Wait, he make it clear in his mind that he love his senpai and kouhai and on top of them he also love Tomoe and Mio? This information is pretty important you know.

    I wonder when he will talk with the souls.

  20. Yey! Thanks for this translation! I don’t remember how ask a corretion,

    Fix.: 19th paragraph: “Even so, I have no assurance that allows me to feel relaxed. That applies to me as well.”

    I couldn’t grasp the intention from this paragraph. Someone can please, explain to me? Maybe he is saying something about the strange place? Idk. Ty!

  23. What the heck just happen XD?
    The topic suddenly derail from the amazement in the land of the dead to something strange.
    I mean they’re having a conversation of harem and polygamy stuff in the land of the dead lol.
    Even the dead feels weird about them hahaha….

  24. ” …his resistance towards us might make him wish for a child from Tamaki.”
    Lol Tomoe assuming things, Makoto is still suspicious of Tamaki and Makoto didn’t even correct Azu’s assumption that Makoto came from the Showa era.

  25. Mmm well i was able to catch up with the chapters but i have some mixed feelings about all this stuff with asnoval and root…..

  26. I want tomoe who became my first wife and disappointed with hibiki which has been aided by makoto but reply with makenci and opposite

  31. Didn’t one of the gods say that Makoto is going to live a much longer amount of time due to his extreme amount of mana?

  34. Thanks for the chapter, was as amusing in English as I expected.

    It is not quite obvious but Aznovel is talking to Tomoe in the same pattern of speech that the salespeople on the shoping chanel do in Japan. Making a proposal, supplying the supporting info then going “But wait theres more! if you act now”. The whole back and forth about number of supportable wives and active age range all had that feel in the back and forth.

    Tomoe is acting exactly like an easily swayed housewife and Aznovel seems to have noticed and is playing it up.

    BTW, random reminder, Makoto never misses when he aims to hit something. It might not take that much effort for him to have a LOT of children…

    1. goddamnit ! now that you mention it…. my brain went haywire and create a ridiculous doujin story of which when he ‘shoot’ it from a far, it still manage to ‘hit’ the girls inside whenever the girl are (or maybe my brain too corrupted because i been hanging around in Pun’s machineslicebread website for too long)

  35. Well, it seems the author is finally moving the romance in the novel, since rokuya appeared the things between them has started to change a lot after all.

  39. Wow so unexpected so futsu is a dragon who manages souls huh… I didn’t think of that possibility at all~ so fresh!

    Thank you for the chapter Reigokai-sama~!

  40. “An arrow made of wood
    You deserve nothing less
    For worse my good mood
    I’ll make you a mess.

    An arrow made of stell
    Whit Azusa I’ll shoot
    Whit the pleasure I fell
    Pierce the head of damm Root
    And one for Aznoval as well.”

    Ok my brother just go and writte that after he read this chapter, and for me? I was forced to make a sandwich for him.

    Sorry for the delay in paying my tribute but last week, my uncle almost die and my brother got a pair of broken bones. Good thing that both of them have a strange sense of humor, my brother just laugh due to the strange sound coming from his wrist…. it’s a little gross.

    Anyways, this time I made a recipe my brother hand over me. A special mini-pizza bites (locks like cookies for me) and a special meat sticks (sausages whith cheese, bacon and tomatoe sauce, covered whit a special made beer breading)

    Sounds cool for a bar snack? Well, it’s a bar snack after all.

    Thanks for the chapter.

    Of course, a flyng orca, a slightly suspicious psycho dragon and a pikilicave can eat as well… but buy your own beer.

    1. Why… Pizza ! Thank you !
      Don’t worry, I don’t drink beer.
      Salt water will do.

      Nice poem by the way. I’ll write one for you later. You can show it to your brother then. 🙂

      What happened to your uncle and brother?
      Sounds like you’ve had too much trouble in your life. Your mental age must’ve been double your physical age by now (I’m talking about your life experience).

      1. I’m 23 years old… but I fell like I have 50. My brother is 25, but he is a weirdo… who study four languages only because sounds funny?

        My uncle almost fall for a seventh floor and my brother, in a pinch, manage to avoid a tragedy, but his right arm got broken. I don’t know why both of them are in a seventh floor at that time.

        Anyways, even if my brother is a weirdo, I can trust in him in almost everything (he is the one who teach me cooking) so that’s why I don’t mind spoil him a little, have my reasons too, cause I can stole him more recipes and books.

        1. Gosh.. seventh floor? I don’t know if I should say that they’re lucky to be safe or that they’re unlucky to be in the incident. Anyway, good to hear that nothing happened.
          Broken arm will heal. Don’t worry.

          Life has made you a mature person despite your age. Unlike me…

  41. Si if he gets Mio and Tomoe pregnant won’t his kids technically be gods? A Dragon god and a Calamity god to be exact. I hope Asora survives the childhood of two powerful beings comparable to the top dogs of that world

  43. thanks for the chapter!

    from what I get with wikipedia a hitodama is more or less the Japanese equivalent to the Will-o’-the-wisp, right?

    I didn’t expect this chapter, to be about marriage, time to progress and stop bringing that up every know end then

    Futsu appearence surprised me, as far as we saw, wasn’t tomoe the only superior dragon with an oriental style?
    plus futsu has silver scale and tomoe “power up” give her silver hair.
    coincidence?

    2. Yes , I think so too …..
      I think there is a deeper meaning ; that Aznoval brought Makoto and Tomoe to the land of dead.
      And
      Don’t forget that , In this chapter at one point : Aznoval called Tomoe “Princess Tomoe”.
      And
      As you said , Tomoe’s silver hair as well as her previous form before the contract “Matches” very well with Futsu form and it’s silver scales compared to other dragon’s.
      I think Tomoe might be Futsu’s daughter or something related to her and she might have inherited her blue color due to her father or something like that.
      And
      Also , Futsu called Makoto “outstanding one” why : maybe be some deeper meaning.

  45. ” there’s even the ironic cemetery. ”
    Iconic, maybe? A cemetery in the land of the dead isn’t really ironic since it’s exactly the kind of thing you might expect to see.

  46. Wondering if “Outstanding One” means/implies anything if Futsu a Superior Dragon is saying that to Makoto, thanks for the chapter

  47. When reading this chapter ‘Blazblue – Comedy’ started playing around the time the baby talk begins. I am suddenly imagining Makoto with Gintoki voice, retorting inside his mind.

  52. I think it’s hilarious how, despite both Tomoe and Mio being absolute domineering forces in the world, the original Japanese folks can lead them around by the nose. Root has done a thorough job of changing the herbivores into carnivores.

  53. what was that?!
    are you going to make a move on Makoto, Tomoe?! and you say you’ll do it right now?! don’t joke around!!!
    you should do that long time ago, you moron-ja!! just push him down on the bed, snap him until unconscious and do with cowboy style together with Mio, Tamaki and the daughter of demon lord..

    1. I don’t think that neither that the ones you mentioned is capable of doing that individual, maybe they have a chance as group but there is no hold that can restraing him for that long, what they need to do is prepare a guys night out with the Adventures of Origins and have the guys convince Makoto to follow his hearth desire and ravashe all those woman that are crazy to gut his special “arrow” pierce them.

      1. the best way is Tomoe and Mio doing team against Makoto ,i think he’ll fell guilty ,if is only one of the girls at time

  54. Thanks for the chapter, wasn’t expecting an update so soon. Well the dead realm seems like an interesting place, wondering what were those soul talking about hearing that conversation. And really it seems like the males from the Adventure of Origins are acting more like wingmen for Makoto in there more that anything. If only they could convince Makotot to follow his true desires, he is already fantasising with the harem life, but is restraining himself, once he unleash I fear for the fate of Tomoe and Mio, giving that they are the closest one, lets just hope for Shiki sake that he doesn’t develope some BL tendecies.

    1. just hope when the restraining is no more, Tomoe and Mio will become a full fledge housewives-cum-baby factory and Komoe-hime-chama will have a lots of little sibling to play with

  57. Lol we talk about Makoto here
    dont wish him like other mc who will bang everyone
    The candidate maybe only tomoe mio tamaki and shik..:v
    Goodluck Mio ima in your side ><

  58. Thanks for the chap ~
    I have a feeling some part of the world or Asora would be destroyed when it comes to who will be his legal wife lol

  62. I can already see all the kids commenting something like:
    1. “Yeah Waka give Tomeo a child no better give goddess Mio a child and built up a big harem. Waka is the holy harem boy so screw them all hahahahhaha.”
    2. “Man somehow I already hate this Futsu guy. How dares he not bow before Makoto-sama already, such audacity. He is such a poser with his scales. Makoto should just crush him and make him beg for forgiveness. Aznoval is also an asshole so just kill them dear Makoto-sama. I hate everyone not belonging to Makotos crew or not being loyal to him. Kill the planet.
    3. “Dude I’m a triggered Makoto Mc Fanboy so stop spreading BS you faggot. Makoto is cool and you are not so stop speaking about him you douchebag. You are just jealous. Idiot…”

    1. I’ll… admit to falling somewhat in that first category. Tomo and Mio will probably monopolize the Waka though. Mio wants him to make the first move, but I think she could drape herself on him like a Frank Frazetta cover and not get through to him. Tomo may be the only one brash enough to get the relationship ball rolling.

  64. Hmm. I guess the realm of the dead could be a place like this. Rather, it’s the sort of place that doesn’t make sense to someone that’s alive, which is something that might describe any concept of afterlife except ones where you keep pretty much everything from when you were alive..

    It’s kinda funny how even Futsu knows about Makoto at this point, and it’s been reduced to the bring of nonexistence as far as the rest of the world is concerned. I wonder if Makoto could ruin Root’s decade by accidentally freeing Futsu…

    I don’t really get what Azu-san was exactly referring to about the one time he could endure Root’s lecture, but I already know it’s indecent enough for it to be something you’re not supposed to say in public.

  68. thanks for the translation
    Yeah baby making talk is here lol when will we get to the action!!!
    and aznoval is totally a real bro for marriage consultation XD

  72. Seriously whats with the image of futsu its exactly like dragon ball then again china emperor alsi using the same design whats next the pervert turtle tea her?

    1. Shen long in fact is the copy (chinese Dragon’s are like that)and futsu is silver not green and you forgot that Tome is the same type oriental dragón :’)

  75. Thanks 4 the chapter!

    Makoto under siege. Time to push forward. Someone quick, open a class on seduction for the ladies! Don’t let up on the attack! Wear his defenses down! Sakai won’t protect him from this assault.

        1. I was thinking more in the lines of using it to fend off “attackers” by taking away their driving force.

          Call me crazy, but somehow I don’t think Makoto’s ability to deny himself of sexuality is going to have a problem. Just a hunch.

      3. Mio for mistress of pain.
        Tomo for tomboy.
        Ester for harem madame.
        Eva Ansland for sexy librarian.
        Ema for best secretary.
        Tamaki for sudden but inevitable betrayal.
        Joshua political connections.
        Redhair bishop for sexy dubs.
        Gorgon gal for best stoner chick.
        Sif and and Yuno for extracurricular activities.
        Sari for footstool.
        Alkeys for more Alkeys.
        Avelia for Shiki.

        Did I miss anyone?

      1. If we’re just talking resources, Makoto has the space, wealth, and power to have children numbering the thousands, I think.

        But the issue is emotional availability and commitment. He wouldn’t be able to give all of them his attention as a typical father would, and I don’t think he’d be into the idea of that.

        Both Makoto and any children are superhuman, so I think his sustainable max would be around the 30s? 100 is way too much unless Makoto gains immortality and takes advantage of having infinite time.

      2. No, I it won’t be difficult for him. I wonder why is he getting all this negativity of having a harem. He is rich so child support is cover, lives near a magical school and he teach his children. That and his children will be born strong in magic it is not the same as making a harem Earth.

  90. Holy crap, Aznoval just leaped up my personal character rankings with this chapter. YEAH! Push for Makoto to start something with his wives already! Drag all those topics out into the open! Get Tomoe fired up about this!!!

    …Ahem. I really loved pretty much his entire consultation with Tomoe, giving her advice from an otherworlder’s perspective, a dragon’s husbando’s experience, and just plain egging her on like some sort of troll-salesman hybrid. I don’t think I’ve seen Tomoe so…engaged before. Even compared to her otaku hobbies, this is clearly a level beyond that.

    Oh. And there’s also how Azu-san, who’s only talked to Makoto for 20 minutes, tops, is able to make a jab at his docility in romantic matters. Moreover, he did it with a Japanese history joke-perfect for Makoto.

    Unless I’m misunderstanding and Makoto thought of four girls in total, he immediately thought of Mio and Tomoe when questioned, right? That’s pretty good confirmation of how he feels, even if he still hasn’t figured it out. Anyway, there was plenty of what could be called progress(or at least groundwork for it) this chapter. Gud jobbu, Azu-chan.

    1. its look like the contender of ‘Best non-god BRO’ of tsukimichi will be given to Aznoval (but it will never can surpass our Best BRO, TSUKUBROYOMI-sama the God of BRO’s

    2. Immediately two images came to mind, and Tomoe and Mio were added quickly after. So i think this means the other two still in the running. Now he just needs to get back to them, or bring them over.

      2. about that my first thought about the first 2 that came to his mind might just be his sisters you know he does love them since there family and all

      3. ,but remember the reason why makoto didn’t choose one of those girls is was because he will make sad one of them and of course his favorite place will be so uncomfortable if one of those girls leave the club .

        but now you can get a harem,he can get four wife if they want too 🙂

      2. What I mean is that he is the kind of character needed to point out obvious things towards the Japanese M.C

        Especially the dull ones. Or the ones trying to evade the talk about marriage.

        Sorry, that is unlike a wingman. More like Tomoe’s wingman.

    4. Aznoval really did a good job in this chapter isn’t he~? I know that aznoval is that kinda guy but I don’t think he is that upfront about this kinda stuff. Hopefully this will start a new something on makoto’s romance!

  91. damn the conversation….. and i never think that Aznoval can make Tomoe got mindbreak attack just from talk about how many child she can have with Makoto …. to think they just strolling around the Underworld while talking about making babies… poor Makoto cant even retort to anything from the talk pace…..
    thanks as always Reigo-san !

    1. and also…. from the conversation about who’s image pop out when Makoto think about the girl he love and both of their image come out right in the instant could it possibly that Makoto will finally make a move of them ?

      1. No, definitely not the right place to talk about bringing life! Especially in large quantities!

        Does no one going to retort on this statement?! Can’t anyone see the contradiction in that sentence?! Or my thinking is just weird?!

    3. Actually, come to think of it, he may have shot himself in the foot there. Putting her in silver hair mode, gives her a warm fuzzy feeling, and a stronger attachment to Makoto. So it probably made her more susceptible to this kind of “attack” rather than protect her.

      1. That is pretty dangerous to realize like what happened to deadpool
        And he has creation ability and thats beyond that can reach reality…

  99. .

    “““ ““ ““ ““ ““ ““ ““ ““““ ““

      1. “Silver scale. Beautiful… eh, wait. Why does it suddenly look like ectoplasm? And now it fades like a ghost!”

        That’s what going in Makoto’s head.

        Side note, Futsu is a MALE.

        2. Ohh sorry about that just not sure what gender Futsu is and I should put “it” instead
          Every superior dragon in their form has that beauty to be appriciated..afterall

      2. The source would be wikipedia. 🙂

        Futsunushi (Futsu) is Amaterasu’s general and a god of swords. He is not mentioned in the Kojiki (birth of gods) but his name is stated in Nihon shoki, along with his partner the popular Takemikazuchi.

        This heavily relates to Aznoval’s sword, the sealing weapon. Although there is no picture yet to share in this group, I think this is the most plausible information about Futsu that I can gather and reflects his gender.

        1. Mythology also states that Tsukuyomi “Moonbro” married Amateratsu, his sister, and killed a harvest goddess friend of hers in a rage because he was grossed out by how she provided the food.

          I’m assuming that we can’t say every myth is considered canon, or at least isn’t super exaggerated, in-story even if it’s the same Futsu.

          1. Ah… the age of myth; when gods rape, kill and plunder. They’re just that, myth. All made up stories.

            I’m just sharing my opinion that Futsu might be a male dragon based on the myth. The dragons actually don’t have any specific gender.

      4. In the next chapter, the author use “kanojo” to refer to Futsu. This indicate that Futsu is female.

        I’m reading the next chapter again to make sure that “kanojo” actually refer to Fustu.

        1. Was this a spoil or just to make sure that is “she”
          When makoto describe ” A pleasant voice permeates inside my head”I accidently indicate that its “her” though

          1. Now that I think about it, everything that isn’t Tomoki’s fault is probably Bug’s fault. And everything that’s not Tomoki or Bug’s fault is probably Root’s fault.

      7. As mentioned Futsu is female, it is tied to the reason Futsu is where they are right now and is a spoiler for the next chapter so I will say no more.

    1. This guy Aznoval, throwing nukes right and left…
      Anyway, chances Futsu makes a contract?
      Please fill here, here and here…
      That’s ok!!
      Now you have enough power to manage this place while walkinh the real world, ready to make trouble for Root again?

      2. Tomoe is head wife, so I think we can call her the legal wife.

        She negotiated with Mio over it in the beginning and successfully bought it with Makoto’s virginity.

        Addendum: Makoto has no idea that this deal was a thing.

    3. If you count Ema, and the Gorgons, they should be able to get to a hundred within a year, maybe two, if they all go together. They should probably space it out more, though, so he doesn’t dry out.

      1. No, no. There’s no problem in that aspect.

        Firstly, Makoto’s physical specs were insane to begin with.

        Secondly, Makoto actually enjoys physical exhaustion.

        Finally, we’ve already covered this already, but Makoto is the type to devote all of himself into something he chooses to do, so if it really came to that, I’m sure he would…ahem…”Do his best.”

      2. “Secondly, Makoto actually enjoys physical exhaustion.”

        I cannot refute that point. Not in a million years. Yup, Makoto is the kind of guy who will push himself to the ‘limit’. In battle, or in bed.

          1. Who do you think have more stamina?
            Makoto (without his magic) is just a normal man.

            Also… Remember that his company have a special vitamin potion that is popular with the red district? Yeah. That’s viagra substitute.

          2. So you’re saying Makoto loses?

            He could still use magic if he wanted, but even without it he’s physically a beast. He was strong enough to physically injure Shen with an uppercut, right?

            Though I guess the girls might be able to use drugs. I don’t think Makoto’s body would accept them though.

      1. We’ve been saying it since the first night in Tsige, or that other place that lives only in the memories of adventurers, it’s always just been a matter of time, before Tomoe pushes him down. Has to be Tomoe, since Mio decided romance, as in a romantic setting, was more important than the physical act.

          1. You can see it clearly after reading 287 chapters, romance is not a focus in the plot. Worst, we got weird NTR of his mother that told like after though in the side story that not bring anything to main plot, just bad after taste.

            Not yet as other reader said, but at this point of story after waka ‘conquer’ demon side and his parents migrates to japan, the ntr is really unnecessary! It is called Chekhov’s gun principle, you told it then you need to incorporate it somehow to the main story.

            Sorry my reply sound so harsh, but that NTR really bring bad reading experience for me. I don’t dislike NTR if its for better characters development, like in revenge plot or something. But, i can only facepalm and thought maybe that ntr is wrote when author is drunk.

      3. The problem being she promised first time to Mio in exchange for being named first. If she pushs Makoto down Mio will be annoyed.
