Tsuki – Chapter 354: The idea of a fiend

“No, I can’t get behind this.” 

“No? I think it is a splendid game-changing idea though.” 

In the workshop of the blacksmiths where heat is confined in and can be called the battlefield of craftsmen, two merchants were facing each other in a room of that very workshop.

One of them is the boss of the workshop, the merchant that is the representative of the Bronzeman Company as a side-job.

The other one is wearing elegant clothes that don’t fit the place, the representative of the Rembrandt Company. 

One can tell from their expressions that it isn’t that fun of a conversation.

“A division of labor is something done to increase the quality of the finished product.” (Bronzeman)

“That’s the division of labor when it is related to creations, right? I am talking about manufactured goods here. Isn’t it wrong to see them in the same vein?” (Rembrandt)

“…”

“You can just teach them the knowledge and technique they individually need in a few days. There’s no need to be concerned about the whole picture or the performance of the product. By simply placing a craftsman supervising the work that even a child could do, the production capability will increase greatly. The reality is that there’s no assurance someone can obtain the creations they want. Then, isn’t it your job to think of ways to produce goods that can be obtained for a low price?” (Rembrandt)

“My job, huh… The supervision of coarse goods that will be made through that request of yours. I consider it my job to make suitable quality products.” (Bronzeman)

“Hmm…too bad. Then, it can’t be helped.” (Rembrandt)

“?”

“Your reaction was slightly different from what I expected, but we both have our own standards. Let’s leave this matter for a later time then.” (Rembrandt)

“Huh? And here I was thinking it was rare for you to give up so easily. What is it you are trying to say?” (Bronzeman)

This man learned that there’s no point in pressuring and threatening with words and attitude only, and ended up unconsciously showing his displeasure in his face at the inflammatory words and complaining.

Well, these two have known each other for a long enough time to not break negotiations with just a few statements and make it a big deal to take advantage of it. This is close to a light talk that you could say could only be done exactly because they know each other for a decently lengthy amount of time. 

“It is not like you are the past Lime Latte. I thought that you would honestly confess that your craftsmen would lose jobs, so it would be troubling. In these times when each second is precious, I overestimated you by thinking that a craftsman of your level wouldn’t do things that would require needless hassle.” (Rembrandt)

“…Good grief. That young man had at some point turned into the face of the city. Your eyes, ears, and nose have gotten far sharper than mine a long time ago too.” (Bronzeman)

“It is a pity that I can’t get your cooperation, but this is a production plan that is absolutely necessary to direct our eyes into the future of Tsige. Regarding the equipment, there’s the wasteland side, and that’s your territory, so I have no intentions of interfering in that. But for the daily necessities, I am sorry, but I will be beginning it when preparations are ready. I feel like there’s the need for feedback and improvements as fast as possible after all.” (Rembrandt)

“Meaning that, you will be waiting for the time when I am the one who will come to you to lower my head? You really don’t have mercy in your dictionary. I thought you had gotten milder after that incident you had with the adventurers. Are you picking a fight with all the craftsmen this time, Rembrandt?” (Bronzeman)

“Of course no. I highly value the production of equipment and maintenance that can only be achieved by skilled craftsmen, and the many great works that are created by their hands. Their work being reduced by my actions won’t be happening ever. I am a man that learns after all. My conflict with the adventurers made me think about a variety of things.” (Rembrandt)

“Listen here, if the young craftsmen that are supposed to grow into those ‘highly valued skilled craftsmen’ you are talking about are gone, you can see as clear as day what would happen. The application of division of labor that you were speaking of can tear out the young craftsmen by their root.” (Bronzeman)

“…Oh, but aren’t you raising a good amount of disciples? I have heard from the wind that you have been doing something similar to a mutual aid association between craftsmen though?” (Rembrandt)

“…Glad to see you know the business of others so well. I am doing that, but I am not providing support to them in all aspects of their life. A decent craftsman cannot be made if they were to be spoiled to that extent after all.” (Bronzeman)

The Bronzeman Representative sighed as he answered the question of Rembrandt. 

Exasperated by the fact that he knows about the internal matters of other companies to an unpleasant extent. 

And while at it, he was also wondering if he was listening to his explanation even though he already knows full well everything he would say. 

The Rembrandt as of late has been fearsomely sharp. 

In a lot of meanings. 

The Bronzeman Representative felt a repulsive sensation as if he had already been set into a preset route. 

“Then there really is no problem. Use them as supervisors like a side-job for these young ones to earn pocket money, and that would serve to fill up the holes.” (Rembrandt)

“At a tasteless job that doesn’t serve in their growth as a craftsman at all?” (Bronzeman)

“Hahaha. But ‘a decent craftsman cannot be made if they were to be spoiled to that extent’, right? I myself would want to have them increase their skills fast to a certain point. For you as well, they would still be plenty useful even when they are still fletchlings.” (Rembrandt)

“…Tch.” (Bronzeman)

What Rembrandt is saying isn’t wrong in essence. 

It is true that the blacksmiths that are in the area of daily necessity products are more for pocket money than for training. 

But the Bronzeman Representative was feeling apprehensive at forcefully changing the customs and traditions that they have been carrying and refining until now. 

It is true that, in order to polish your skills and live by as a first rate craftsman that has a name for themselves, they need to devote to polishing themselves.

“This is something I thought at that time as well, but there’s troubles that can be avoided if you tell the tops properly. The reality was that the relationship between Lime and I was truly toxic and filled with misunderstandings. This is what created the rift between him and I. I don’t want to repeat the same mistake. I would like to have a good relationship with you and keep a stable supply of equipment to the army.” (Rembrandt)

Simplified division of labor. 

This is the problem between the two, and the proposal of Rembrandt.

The division of labor is mainly applied by craftsmen to increase the quality of a product, and this proposal was basically like breaking it from its base. 

On the other hand, by simplifying each manufacturing process, the regular populace that didn’t have the production skills related to it will also be able to get involved in the production -this is what Rembrandt called a ground-breaking idea. 

Depending on how you listen to it, it is basically like robbing the craftsmen of their work, and the reason the Bronzeman Representative frowned.

“…That’s one rough joke there. Are you telling me you are even going to rely on that method with the equipment the army of Tsige will be holding?” (Bronzeman)

The expression of the Bronzeman Representative stiffened. 

Of course, it is because he thought that the Bronzeman Company would be the one taking care of the equipment of the Tsige army. 

This thought of his didn’t come from conceit, but because it would require quality and amount which he can proudly say it would be impossible without them being involved.

“It is true that there’s the need to properly consider just how many layers and how much of a quality the given equipment will have. By the way, one of my current ideas for that was to make newbie equipment with the simplified division of labor, which a number of people objected to.” (Rembrandt)

“Are you sane? This is not like you.” (Bronzeman)

“Really? For example; arrows. If we were to leave all of those in your hands, depending on the situation, production might not be able to keep up, don’t you think? Or would you go and tell the tacticians that you can’t increase the production rate so to make a plan that limits the amount of arrows used?” (Rembrandt)

Even if they are currently following the demands of the adventurers, it is not like all the arrows are being handled by craftsmen. 

Most of them are being purchased from outside companies. 

“…Arrows, huh. It is true that, aside from ones for special use, having even common arrows all be made by craftsmen would…not be realistic.” (Bronzeman)

“Right? There’s a lot of expendable goods used by the army. If arrows can be retrieved, I would like to, but it is not like we can reuse them all. The problem of who will be in charge of it will also happen. Even if told later that you didn’t think about it, or it was outside of expectations, you can’t redo it after all.” (Rembrandt)

“…So, you will be spreading the division of labor as well as the daily necessity products? Ordering each part separately, have part timers and mid sized workshops make them, and have them assembled in specialized workshops to finish them en masse?” (Bronzeman)

“Don’t you think it is a great way of doing things?” (Rembrandt)

“…I think it is a sickening thought that’s like it came right out of a fiend. Mass producing products that have no soul in it, moreover, you are even relying on beginner part-timers for the parts.” (Bronzeman)

But it is efficient. 

There’s no need to pass the rough training of a craftsman, and as long as you can manage to make a single product, and can supervise it, this can become a job, and it would increase the production rate of a city, a country, to an outstanding degree. As someone who has been living as a craftsman for long, this notion made him want to vomit. 

He felt as if their place as craftsmen would be taken away by daily employed people with no skills. 

Their definition of division of labor is to divide the detailed work for each person, polish their skills, sharing the same full picture of the finished product, to aim for the one true masterpiece; this is the complete opposite of that.

It is simply the reverse thinking of that, but the Bronzeman Representative was impressed at how Rembrandt managed to cook that up, and felt like cursing him. 

If possible, he would want to turn back time to the days where this man didn’t have that idea of his and regain peace.

These were his true feelings.

“ Please don’t look at only the bad sides. Depending on how you think about it, you can also make use of this kind of method to make excellent pieces, and since you are not ordering it from specialized craftsmen, there’s no need to show them the information of the finished product, just for one part of the whole product. Isn’t this a positive point in terms of retention of secret information?” (Rembrandt)

“…”

“Also you could save people who don’t have a job in their hands before they lose everything. Even the manual labor of children you were talking about before. If a method is made where they can be properly supervised so they are not exploited like slaves, it could even be requested from orphanages. If they can obtain a source of income that doesn’t rely on specific companies, I think it would become a plus in their future.” (Rembrandt)

“…You…could it be…just how far…” (Bronzeman)

‘Just how far are you seeing’, is what he was trying to say, but his throat was dry and he couldn’t speak. 

When he was talking about arrows, he was honestly wondering what was the problem with buying them from outside, but forming a reason from the explanation that comes after gave him chills. 

“Please think about it. Tsige soon won’t just be reaching till the wall we can see here. It will expand far off to a wall that can’t be seen from here. Population will increase. Work will be necessary with the increase of people. There’s no need for beggars and we have no intentions on carrying them, so that’s a matter of course, right? We need the new citizens to become the strength of the city…no, the country, or there would be no point.” (Rembrandt)

“And so, you will be increasing the jobs itself explosively with this?” (Bronzeman)

“Yeah, we can use the circulation network of the Couple-san to transport the parts from workshop to workshop. That granny has already begun increasing her personnel and creating a roadmap. Till how old does she intend to stay in the business?” (Rembrandt)

“She is definitely gonna be working in the business for the remainder of her life…” (Bronzeman)

“In the first place, the amount of adventurers in the future will be increasing by far more than several times its current numbers, right?” (Rembrandt)

As if saying ‘you can at least predict that much, right?’. The words of Rembrandt resonated greatly in the Bronzeman Representative. 

That’s because he was certainly thinking about preparing himself for where he could deal with an increase of several times more. 

“!” 

“For how far can you deal with things once it has swelled to several times…several tens of times more than now using your current stance. I even felt uneasy just by seeing the workshop the same as usual when I came in today.” (Rembrandt)

“…Rembrandt, just how much do you think the population of this city will increase? Open up and tell me please. It was the same with the land and money matter… It looks like what you and I see are different in foundation.” (Bronzeman)

“Open up, you say. I have already done so from the very beginning, right?” (Rembrandt)

“Huh?” (Bronzeman)

“That Tsige will become the greatest country of the world.” (Rembrandt)

“I heard that. It was what you proclaimed grandly after you gathered the merchants, right?” (Bronzeman)

“People will obviously gather the most at the greatest country of the world. So it will obviously become the one with the highest population of the world.” (Rembrandt)

“I don’t know how many times I have said this already, but…are you sane?” (Bronzeman)

“First will be 100 times more.” (Rembrandt)

“?!” 

“Also, no matter in what shape or form the independence is accepted by Aion, I will have it give us the spot of one of the major powers in a few years.” (Rembrandt)

“N-Not becoming the f-fith major power?” (Bronzeman)

“This is something I was mostly sure of after being involved with them for a long time, but I am now clear about it. The Aion Kingdom is just a major power in size alone. You could say they are handy nourishment for Tsige.” (Rembrandt)

“The Aion that presently holds a bigger army than even Gritonia and Limia who are weakened by the war with the demons? You are calling them nourishment?” (Bronzeman)

Just as Bronzeman said, the scale of the army the Aion Kingdom sent to Tsige could be described as overwhelming. 

It is to the point that there’s no need to think about the difference in military force, and it is silly to even compare their numbers. 

A massive army that, even if they were to subjugate Tsige and pulverize the revolutionary army and return to the capital, the people of the capital wouldn’t even be able to tell how many casualties there actually were. 

No matter how powerful of adventurers they have obtained the cooperation from, there’s no way they can win against the difference in numbers.

They would definitely be swallowed in the middle and be killed. 

There’s no doubt it would be difficult to even keep order when facing their presence. 

“Hmm…I might have been a bit excessive there.” (Rembrandt)

“It doesn’t change much.” (Bronzeman)

“Yeah. And so, how about it? I came all the way here thinking that we would receive the full support of the Bronzeman Company, and wanted to get advice too.” (Rembrandt)

“…You made a similar gut-wrenching proposal to the Couple lady in the road maintenance and circulation front, right?” (Bronzeman)

After hearing a lot from her at the meeting, he was sure that a new era would be coming.

Even when he was resolved to think from zero with a blank slate to be on the front of that new era, he couldn’t keep up at all with the thoughts of Rembrandt. 

If he were just a madman, it would be fine to just ignore him, but the fearsome thing is that Rembrandt intends to make that future he speaks of a reality. 

He was sure that he also said some outrageous things to the Couple Company too. 

“No way. I just got a lecture in regards to the circulation of goods, to a degree where I could calculate whether the goods transportation will be able to deal with the increase from the production method.” (Rembrandt)

“That’s definitely a lie.” (Bronzeman)

“Who knows. The only thing I know is that I am definitely not saying anything that’s harmful for the Bronzeman Company.” (Rembrandt)

“…Got it. I am in. Cause I honestly think the current you is scary. Well, I have no responsibility for them, but if possible, please pick up Muzo and Batoma too.” (Bronzeman)

“Muzo is truly skilled. He has begun moving a long time ago. After that meeting, he was the first one to go to the guild and poured money into it as if it were water, and he has begun to assist the adventurers even further than before.” (Rembrandt)

“You already know what he is doing? What about the place of Batoma that’s been weakening a bit recently?” (Bronzeman)

“As long as he doesn’t stop that enclosure of weaklings that he calls the company association, they have no future. Well, it would be a waste since it would trouble me if he were to try to do something to Raidou-kun, but maybe in the future I will bring him to the hot springs to give him some nice last memories…I mean, a last chance.” (Rembrandt)

“Raidou-kun, huh. Even though the Kuzunoha Company is a miscellaneous store, they have monstrous building techniques. Looks like I can’t be choosing my methods if I want to survive.” (Bronzeman)

This unbelievably sharp Rembrandt is definitely due to Raidou and the Kuzunoha Company in some way. 

This isn’t such a joyous thing for the other merchants of Tsige, but it must mean that the meeting of those two must have created some unbelievable chemical reaction.

It is not like Bronzeman hasn’t thought ‘it would have been better if they hadn’t met’, but if he were to compare the Tsige of before that felt enclosed to the current one, the Bronzeman Representative would choose the present one. 

Therefore, he had no choice but to acknowledge the tsunami that he can’t avoid. 

“How about you come as well to the hot springs with Batoma? No, let’s go to the hot springs with everyone. That sounds like a good idea.” (Rembrandt)

As if making a complete turn, Rembrandt invites him with a big smile on his face.

“Everyone…huh. I will accept any invites. Aah, looks like there’s now a huge difference in standing between us two. I can’t just stand idly, really.” (Bronzeman)

“Dipping yourself into hot water is nice. I am sure you will like it.” (Rembrandt)

It is basically a prototype of the factory line system. 

On this day, a silent industrial revolution happened in Tsige.

  1. I wish Makoto would just develop a stable supply of electricity. That would literally advance that world a few centuries….

  2. Damn, the industrial revolution. Even this is something the old wise werent able to bring and to think it came about naturally albeit with some disconnected input from Makoto. Tsige is gonna be the Venice of this world, Makoto would earn a lot more if he can provide the goods of Asora to Tsige.

  3. Rembrant’s insights in current era looks scary..
    Does he heard and got inspirations from Makoto’s statements about “raising future customers” ? 😆

  4. Here I thought Remmy wanted independence, now he wants the greatest country with the biggest population… Meh, why not^^

  5. “As long as he doesn’t stop that enclosure of weaklings that he calls
    the company association, they have no future. Well, it would be a waste since it would trouble me if he were to try to do something to Raidou-kun, but maybe in the future I will bring him to the hot springs to give him some nice last memories…I mean, a last chance.” (Rembrandt)

    Xd

  6. every other Otherworlders from Japan make a halfass JP cosplay culture in Lorel or game-like Adventure Guild system , meanwhile Makoto practically recreate industrial revolution, unknowingly.
    The Industrial Revolution can change this world’s fate greatly even without Bug’s blessing. Maybe this world will turn to something like Hyper-magic-industrial world instead of generic Magic Mediaeval world.

    And they really need Bug disappear from this world or turn to something nourishing the world without interference with it

    1. Same. So pointless, probably a backup of author for his unlimited forced plot/conflicts/bullshts. Everyone has malice/evil within, it’s just a matter of how you cope up with it. He killed thousands of people already, why bother acting like he’s pure? he’s just being hypocritical at this point, they’re already in a ruling pact after all.

      1. Because she appeared uninvited within Asora without anyone to vouch for her and is as powerful if not more powerful than Root (before her ruling pact, she’s much stronger after), which means she’s the second strongest being in Asora. She forced herself on him effectively. He can’t let her out because she knows about Asora and is dangerous because of her power. He doesn’t want to kill her unprovoked, but he’s the only one on the planet who can, so if she should oppose him, many of his allies would die before he could stop her and she’s still a threat while in Asora because the ruling pact doesn’t stop her from opposing him, it hurts her for doing so. The definition of opposition is also based on the individual. The author laid out this plot element when elaborating on how Mio’s insubordination in Limia wasn’t a problem for the pact since she thought threatening Hibiki WAS for Makoto’s benefit. She disobeyed implicit orders and almost killed Hibiki. Tomoe has also lied to him and has been manipulating him from the beginning, but she believes she is doing it for his benefit as well. This was literally a crucial plot point in the story earlier when Tomoe and Mio were clashing because of their views on what Makato SHOULD become conflicted and they were both manipulating his life in ways they thought to be benevolent.

        Lastly no one can read Tamaki’s mind. Even Tomoe can display her thoughts visually like she can read other’s thoughts so the mind of everyone in Asora is accessible to Makato… except the next most powerful resident whose origins and motives are unclear. It actually naive to not have exiled her, killed her, imprisoned her or demanded explanation from the gods who presumably sent her.

        1. You are right. Also Makoto says that he still can’t read her at all. We readers don’t know how she thinks because we were never shown her pov. She definitely has an objective.

    1. His memory archive and thought transmission kinda count as internet and as for the porn he has footage in quality and quantitties in his memories.

    2. They are trying to increase the population. Using a population control method like porn won’t be of benefit.

      1. I wouldn’t call porn population control. It just makes me more horny and to go out and get more waifus. lol I’m the type that likes to do stuff, not just get shown stuff. XD Plus you learn more by doing the actual activities 😉

  7. Tamaki was right if this stops being a medieval war and becomes an industrial war then Alion has no idea what she is getting into because tsige could easily maintain a long term war, with only the invention of the crossbow and the line. of production for arrows there was a great change in the war in the past, with an industrial line they could maintain the lifestyle in society despite the war, and that is why the wall covers the golden road so they can continue importing and exporting without worry about war

  8. Oky… Rembrandt-shi is flipping 1 Million IQ, 10,000,000,000%, Giga Extra Large Brain, 10 parralel universes ahead of everyone, Third Eye, and prodigy amonst(us) prodigy

    Also, Rembrandt I know you smart, but I don’t think Tsige’s gonna be the strongest country in the world I think that will be in Kalelion instead you can be the 2nd strongest though. No objections there

    1. Lol, well to be fair the Kuzunoha company is involved with both so… yeah plus once their students start going out and about people may start to notice that Raidou is more powerful than they thought

      1. I mean… Everything he does is like… 1 Made supper crazy adventures 2 Made supper crazy Company 3 Made super crazy students 4 Made a pact with the Demon King 5 Stop a coup d’etat 6 lighted the flames of the Independance

  9. I can see that this is all because of Rembrant’s love for the original Tsige. People joining Tsige means that there will be competent people among those coming in.

    The current set-up that the merchants have will produce the infamous job hunt and that will leave a number of the current residents behind.

    I have an inkling that Makoto’s orphanage restructuring gave some influence to this.

  10. XD the industrial revolution without the steam engine and Rothschild trying to build a country. The hype is real

    1. Magic would make a great alternative to the steam engine.

      The elevators Makoto built are using mana for power, so mana can obviously be a substitute for electricity.

      If you can make something spin using mana, you basically have a primitive engine.

      1. That reminds me of The Dragon, the Hero, and the Courier were magican are only treated as cheap sources of magic power.

    2. The Industrial Revolution started before the steam engine, using waterwheel powered factories. Britain’s geography gave it a leg up, rain and mountains creating the fast flowing rivers that are ideal for them. It was actually the French of all people who invented a lot of the machinery and techniques but sunny, flat climates with lazy rivers little more than streams are great for vineyards, not mills.

      And please don’t insult Rembrandt by comparing him to a Rothschild. They have created nothing but misery and death.

      1. Why not compare those two?
        In influence and wealth they are almost the same.
        also Rembrandt is not a Saint he dirty his hand in shady stuff we just saw his brighter side of his.
        I’m not insulting him I just gave him his deserved recognition of power

        1. Yeah Rembrandt in the Manga is shown to be a lot shadier than the WN, we actually get the backstory of the guy who cursed his family and how Rembrandt screw him over and other people.

          Rembrandt family getting cursed was karma coming back to bite him in the ass.

          1. Well that is why he’s trying to fix things. Plus some of that could have been told in ss chapters. Which i haven’t read any of.

    3. The ring of makoto will serve as the foundation of automated machinism. Soon, they craftsmen will be able to make lower versions of those that can serve as a battery or fuel. Ofcors, the pouring if magic power to those batteries will be difficult at the begining.

  11. Damn Rembrandt with his Galaxy brain, this chapter too heavy for person with no-brain like me

    Thanks for the chapter

  12. Damn Rembrandt with his Galaxy brain, this chapter too heavy for person with no-brain like me

    Thanks for the chapter

  13. I wonder how the craftmen of Asora had seen and handle that factor, since they have already reached a incredible path fusioning magic and science and they also have the special situation called Asora (Makoto) then the conclusion should be a impressive one.

  14. While reading, I had this image in my head of how Raidou could single handedly win the war.. with zero deaths…

    As the Army approaches the wall and faces Tsiges forces, have that “mist” envelop them and deposit them in a wastes like environment in Asora… an area self contained by mountains… not unlike the dangerous wastelands around Tsige…

    Makoto could have “animal drops” or “random care packages” dropped “near” the soldiers to ensure they are well fed… hold them like that for ooh. A year? Two? Then let them slowly out. Over six months let them find themselves suddenly within eyeshot of the large bustling gate of the walls…

    And a new legend came to be… the triangle of the lost, if you find yourself in there, you might not come out easily… lol

    Meanwhile with little to no army left opposing them Tsige wins by default… lol

  15. thanks for chap
    this is probably the first time neo tsige has been described properly
    and yea ill say this again ‘rembrandt is scary’

    1. On this day,
      Rembrandt invents the factory and marks the start of the Industrial Revolution.

      But what’s Rembrandt doing inviting everyone into Kuzunoha’s private property without letting Waka-sama know in advance?

      [Of course no.]
      * no —> not

  16. Lol. A lot of people always labeling a chapter without Makoto or character they actually care as unimportant. Then again if the author only telling an event as a bts event, people will shamelessly miss or forget about it and complaining about how there’s a plot hole until someone tell them which chapter that can explain it but then they won’t actually check just because.

  17. assembly lines!
    industrial revolution!

    ok, they have achieved enlightment age.
    the civilization game is a long game.

    thank you for the translations~
    stay safe and healthy everyone!
    nekorona aint done yet 🙁

  18. Honestly, recent chapters seem like Tsige is preparing for literal apocalypse and not declaration of independence.
    Then again, Aion did sent army of 20.000+ men marching towards Great Wall of Neo-Tsige.

  19. Well they are seeing the future ahead by a lot. Its gonna succeed since makoto is there to stop apostle and other crap but imagine if makoto somehow doesnt participate and tsige loses rembrandt gonna suicide lol

  20. This war will create more waves that what people initially though, I like this set of chapter, they are giving us a preview of what is intended, even if the auhtor later on skip some steps we can imagine from where they came, and how it was build.

  21. 50 years in the future.
    CEO: “This is the revolutionary product that will shows you your ideal waifu in front of you”

    >>> Tech Warehouse
    Campers 1: “Wow, was that GTX 999999999”
    Campers 2: “Yeah, basically, the hologram, we can mod it…”
    Campers: “Hell Yeah!!!!”

  22. A lot of mis translated parts, like “polishing themselves”… thats a masturbation reference in english, it should be “polishing(or honing) their craft(or trade)”.

    Theres at least a few more, I guess its because of how dull this chapter was.

  23. thanks for the chapter

    I don’t know about you, but seeing how Makoto is a god of the development and growth of civilization and industrialization, its fascinates , leaving aside Kaneleon and Asora. If rembrant turns the new tsige into an equal or the greatest power in that world. I wonder what it will be like in the future, if the creator call utopia in Asora then what would the new tsige be?

    THE NEW TSIGE will be the first place that the god of destruction makoto destroys now that we know tsige in depth. It is a very sad place and the orphanage is not free of stupid hyumans and they disgusting, rostgard is a thousand times better.

  24. This chapter felt a bit unneeded, as it could have been portrayed when the city actually does grow, even then Kalenon would overtake it and the other countries would have to be destroyed to be the greatest country. Rembrandt is definitely playing the villain/clever route though as i thought he was planning to take all their seats to become king of the country, but it could only be possible if Makoto keeps helping him. Which is why I think Rembrandt grew so much too, he was just like the other merchants in the enclosed city but grew after being saved and learning about the kuzunoha companies methods. Its a bit unfair however if he was given those methods and he keeps his own from the other merchants, makes me feel like Makoto will find out about it and immediately won’t like it, making most of his intricate plans crashing down with the absence of one person.

  25. I often feel Makoto is being pushed towards what that world would consider evil. Look at his allies, mamnos or what may be called monsters, a evolved form of a lich who used to conduct human experiments, an unstoppable spider that used to be controlled by her hunger, Rembrandt was ruthless when growing his business.

    Since Makoto rarely goes off on revenge fueled rampage I feel this is another way the author is slightly roasting the Isakai genre, like having the level concept actually being created by someone inspired by gamers and the way the ordinary fights in the school tournament sounding like turn based combat.

  26. Meh I honestly don’t think we needed an entire chapter just to have two guys discuss about division of labor. Like I feel that either this whole discussion should have been brought up during the last meeting of Rembrandt and the other company heads or they could have just shortened the discussion and made this chapter about Rembrandt going around to the other company heads to try to convince them to adopt these revolutionary new ideas.

    On a lighter note, Rembrandt really is looking for any excuse to go to the hot springs.

    1. I agree, this chapter felt like it was a bit short and redundant as if it was just explaining the direction the city is taking, which could have been explained from Makotos point of view as it actually is instead of hearing it in a meeting. For the magic caster who cast a curse on Rembrandt family however I though he and Rembrandt were friends and in love with the same girl, but when he left, her and Rembrandt married but he just used and had her assassinated by his butler to get her father’s company I thought? It was explained ed more extensively in the capters/manga but I thought it also showed the flashback in this LN.

      1. I honestly don’t remember and I may just be confusing this with something from a different story but I think it was something like Rembrandt and his wife were in love but she was supposed to marry some other guy (who may or may not have been Rembrandt’s friend) so they both worked together to have him framed for some crime and killed while the wife got his assets and then married Rembrandt. I think Rembrandt also had a fiancee that they did the same thing too.

    2. Exactly… this story gets so boring when the author fixates on irrelevant minutia.

      If you notice the author repeats themselves like a kid padding out an essay to hit a word count, like Rambrant explaining devision of labour, he explained it twice at least.

    3. i looked to the spoilers in raw and i have bad news becase even if tsuki is slow life isekai the action in 1-300 chapter goes very slowly forward, but now (the chapters publicated in this year) particully stoped (maybe its a bit specyfic of the arc but there is too much chapters that not brig anything to all novel

    1. Always has been.

      In the past he was trash,he changed after his family were cursed and the magic caster that cursed his family was one of his victims

      1. Yeah he was always a bastard but if I recall the guy who placed the curse on his family was just some guy hired by some of Rembrandt’s enemies to go introduce himself to Lime and convince him to hire him for what he assumed would be a low level curse that would put his family in an enchanted sleep when in reality it was for a much more powerful curse. The magic caster wasn’t some victim of Rembrandt.

        1. Nop ,in fact a that guy was the fiancé of the woman that Rembrad deceive and murdered to steal her fortune, Tomoe discovered him later when she was looking for the one who cast the curse

  27. Thanks for the chap!

    I really like the idea of how the ones at the front is fighting a bloody war(with lots of ceasefire in between), meanwhile the ones at the back is fighting economy war and (for those who realized of a new superpower) a bit of diplomacy.

  28. Special character Rembrandt learnt the skill “Industrial Révolution !”

    Seriously, did he because the oracle of Susanoo or another God, and get all the informations of or world as idea that way. Because if someone would tell me this, I would believe him…

    Thanks for the chapter.

    1. It more like makoto gave him the idea and he is smart enough to realize the way to make it a reality himself rather than a divine providence, i think

    2. I think he’s just getting ideas from listening to Makoto randomly saying stuff. Like Makoto just off-handedly mentioned once how Tsige could join with the other small surrounding cities and that gave Rembrandt the idea to incorporate the surrounding cities and land to become a city-state.

  29. … I thought he was going to child labour for a moment there, not a division…

    I’m surprised I’m the seventh commenter…
    Usually when I come around it’s already 200+ in

    1. It not like they can avord to lowering the working age, i personally think children could do a simple work at least to make them ready when they will have job later or even inheriated parent workplace.

      1. If you read the story from the beginning you will find out that it always been the case. Action arcs are much rarer than slice of life ones.

    1. Me he dado cuenta que este iseikai sera muy diferente a los demas, 1)este iseikai no es dentro de un videojuego, 2)no aparece pantallas de luz con datos y números, 3)tiene violencia, sexo (o mención de ello en el caso de tomoki y makoto), 4) aunque mucho iseikas ponen a los dioses o diosas como malos este tiene a la diosa tonta y a otros dioses que reconocen los errores de ella, 5) este iseikai trata de cambia de a poco de la edad media a la moderna.
      Si Tsige sera un pais con potencia comercial, Kalenon sera un pais con potencia por el comercio de sus bienes naturales, ademas de que makoto se llevo a Eva para que fuera la reina del Nuevo Kalenon para el publico.
      Solo espero que la audiencia tenga paciencia en el anime.
