WM – Chapter 183: Human Demon War 3

“What’s that about ‘the enemy will die’? Just saying random stuff, Makoto… [Meteor]!” (Lucy)

Lucy said with an amazed tone and then hit the frozen monsters with a giant rock. 

The monsters and the ice break with a loud crack.

Right now we are standing on top of the frozen sea.

“Uhh…so cold~. Can I go back?” (Aya)

Even when Sa-san was weaning cold protection equipment that looked like a fluffy down jacket, she was still trembling. 

Furiae-san was puffing out air on her hands going ‘haah haah’.

Even those natural actions of hers are alluring.

“Sa-san, you can’t, you are a Hero. Princess, you can return to the tent if you are cold” (Makoto)

“Eeh?! Takatsuki-kun, you bully!” (Aya)

“It is okay. I am used to the cold. Also, I would feel bad about resting on my own, so I will stay here.” (Furiae)

While I was talking to my comrades, I heard the loud voice of Captain Ortho.

“Subjugate all the monsters before they free themselves! Don’t waste the chance that Hero Makoto-dono has created!” (Ortho)

““Yes sir!””

The Sun Knight followed the captain’s orders and attacked the frozen monsters. 

As for me…I am not doing anything.

I gave it a cool name like ‘Eternal Death Blizzard’, but in reality it is just an ice magic spell with a wide range. 

It may have immobilized them temporarily, but it doesn’t reach the point of death. 

The lifeforce of demon lord subordinates is apparently high, so they can begin moving after the ice melts. 

Right now we are breaking the monsters with ice and all. 

More than 10,000 frozen monsters.

That’s quite the manual labor. 

Moreover, I don’t have a proper attack mean, so I was just watching.

“Spirit-sans, Spirit-sans.” (Makoto)

I tried talking to them, but they must have gotten satisfied with the attack just now, they were going ‘kya kya’ and having fun, not listening to me at all.

Looks like I have to wait a bit before I borrow more mana from them.

“They aren’t lowering in numbers at all!” (Lucy)

Lucy was complaining as she continued shooting her magic.

If she were to use her specialty that is fire magic, the ice would melt, so she is using Stone Bullet.

“Sorry about that, Lucy.” (Makoto)

“Hmm, I don’t really mind. Treat me to something next time.” (Lucy)

I apologized for having her be the only one working, but she responded with a big smile. 

How manly, Lucy.

After a bit, she went ‘Ah, right’ as if she had thought up something and turned over here with an impish look.

“But it is unfair for me to be the only one shooting magic, so use Synchronization to shoot magic.” (Lucy)

Saying this, she sticks really close to me, and she made me grab her staff.

I could feel her high temperature. 

(…[Synchronization].) (Makoto)

I held the staff of Lucy and her shoulder, but her hand gave me a stink, and I could feel that the mana of Lucy and I were repelling each other. 

Hmm, so it really won’t work.

“Sorry, Lucy. Looks like we can’t sync properly.” (Makoto)

When I said this, Lucy laughed and sent me a sidelong glance.

“Geez, that’s not it.” (Lucy)

Lucy wrapped her hand around my neck, got on her tiptoes, and looked up at me. 

“When we are synchronizing, this is how we do it, right?” (Lucy)

She looks at me with her big eyes, and her face gets close enough to the point that our noses could touch. 

“L-Lucy-san?” (Makoto)

“Here, Makoto. Hnn.” (Lucy)

Saying this, Lucy closed her eyes.

The lips of a beautiful elf were approaching.

…Are you telling me to kiss? Here?

But we are a party, and I can’t have Lucy do all the heavy work. 

Also, I am in a sense the party leader.

Yeah, it can’t be helped.

When I resolved myself and was about to kiss Lucy…

*Rumble Rumble Rumble*

I felt like I heard that kind of loud sound.

““……””

Sa-san and Furiae-san were looking judgmentally over here.

“L-Lucy, let’s leave the kissing synchro to emergencies!” (Makoto)

I hurriedly separated from Lucy.

“Ah, is that so.” (Lucy)

Lucy returned to a normal position unamused.

“Makoto, you coward.” (Lucy)

(Coward indeed.) (Noah)

I understand Lucy saying that, but for some reason, Noah-sama said it too.

After that, Lucy and the Sun Knights continued defeating monsters, and in around half a day, all the monsters were defeated.

◇◇

“‘The 1st Division fought the army of the Sea Monster King Forneus today’, is what you said?” 

This was the first thing General Yuwein said when Captain Ortho reported this in the war council that was opened on the evening of that day. 

It sounded calm, but it could also be heard as a slightly exasperated tone. 

“What’s the meaning of this, Captain Ortho? This seems to be different from planned.” (Tariska)

General Tariska urged the continuation calmly. 

“Yes, we fought the Demon Lord army. With the Water Country’s Hero Makoto-dono here—” (Ortho)

“As I thought, it was the fault of the Evil God Apostle!” 

Before Ortho-san could finish, the Pope concluded that I am the reason.

…Well, that’s true. 

“This time’s war is one that will decide the fate of the continent. There really is a need to eliminate the variable that is the Evil God Apostle! Now, he must be punished impartially at once! Behead him!” 

The nobles of the countries were nodding at this. 

What does he mean by impartial…?

As for my acquaintances, Hero Olga, Prince Leonard, and Sakurai-kun were making faces as if saying ‘Aah, as expected’.

I thought Oracle Esther would be complaining for sure, but she was unexpectedly silent. 

She is making an annoyed expression though.

“Well, wait, Pope Roma. Ortho hasn’t finished talking. Also, I was the one who allowed the Water Country’s Hero to fight the Demon Lord army.” 

“…You did, Great Sage-sama?! Why did you do something like that…?” 

“Your Holiness, it seems the Great Sage-sama has her own thoughts regarding this. Ortho, report the results of the battle and the casualties of our side.” (Yuwein)

General Yuwein returned the topic to the war. 

Captain Ortho stands upright. 

“Yes sir! Reporting. Demon Lord army monsters: 10,029; 1st Division casualties: 0!!” (Ortho)

“““……”””

No one said anything after the words of Captain Ortho.

…The Captain was counting the numbers of monsters, huh.

“There weren’t any noteworthy demons within the army. It is as Esther-sama said. Their objective wasn’t to fight us, but solely for diversion.” (Ortho)

Saying this, Captain Ortho finished reporting.

But all the people in the projections had their eyes opened wide or were making dubious expressions.

General Yuwein was the first one to speak.

“Ortho, you said you fought a demon lord army of more than 10,000, right?” (Yuwein)

“Yes, that’s exactly right, General!” (Ortho)

“…Why was the enemy wiped out while our side had no casualties?” (Yuwein)

The people were nodding. 

Looks like everyone wanted to know. 

“With the Spirit Magic of Makoto-dono here, all of the more than 10,000 monsters were frozen. We then destroyed the incapacitated monsters.” (Ortho)

“Is that even possible…?” (Yuwein)

“Well, with the magic that he used to save the Fire Country’s capital, it would be possible…” (Tariska)

General Yuwein and General Tariska were saying this as if finding it hard to believe.

I actually used a different method from that time in the Fire Country’s capital though. Oh well, that’s fine.

“Ahahahahaha! I see, I see!” 

The Great Sage-sama was smacking her laps and laughing. 

On the other hand, the Pope was glaring over here with a bitter expression.

By the way, Gera-san had a bitter expression too. 

…I feel like he is gonna say I am stealing the march again.

“And so, General, what will you do about that so-called punishment? There’s no casualties though.” 

The Great Sage-sama asks about my fate. 

“It goes against the plan, but the objective of that plan is to preserve our forces. There were no casualties, so there’s no punishment.” (Yuwein)

Saying this, he wrapped up the topic. 

“Now then, about the reports of the other regions.” (Yuwein)

“Yes! Then, from the 2nd Division…” 

After that, long and boring reports continued.

They were all reports about not battling after all.

I glanced at the projection of Princess Sofia, and she was puffing her cheeks as if saying ‘geez!’.

I obviously didn’t wave my hand this time around and simply gave her a wry smile. 

The war council continued till late in the night…and it was tough not to fall asleep in the middle of it. 

◇Sasaki Aya POV◇

I woke up late in the night. 

“Kuu~…” (Lucy)

I hear Lu-chan sleeping at my side. 

Her breath is warm.

Now that I think about it, the inside of the tent is cold, so I clung to Lu-chan as I fell asleep.

“Aah, her clothes are disheveled again.” (Aya)

I sigh as I fix the collar of Lu-chan a bit. 

Lu-cha has bad sleeping habits. 

For some reason, she would slowly take off her clothes while she is sleeping. 

But well, Takatsuki-kun told me that I also have bad sleeping habits though.

Compared to that, Fu-chan always looks beautiful as she sleeps like a princess…wait, what? 

“Fu-chan?” (Aya)

There’s no one in the futon. 

Is she in the toilet?

I touched the futon, and it was cold. It doesn’t seem like she left just now, but a while ago. 

“Hnnn…” (Aya)

I was bothered by something, so I went to the deeper side, onto the shared space of Takatsuki-kun that’s divided by a simple partition.

The tent is shared by 4 people, but Takatsuki-kun said adamantly ‘men and women shouldn’t be sleeping in the same space!’ and made a partition.

“He really isn’t here.” (Aya)

Well, that’s the usual.

Takatsuki-kun uses most of the time he is awake in training.

But there’s something that bothered me. 

Takatsuki-kun and Fu-chan had disappeared late in the night at the same time. 

Now, what should I do? 

“Uwa, cold!” (Aya)

I went outside the tent. 

The night wind took away the heat of my body.

“This is definitely the fault of the Spirit Magic of Takatsuki-kun…” (Aya)

I complained as I wore several tens of layers of clothes.

I walk in the campsite of the Sun Knights.

The only light source is the moon and the stars, but I was raised in Laberintos, so this is no different from daytime. 

I passed by a number of what seemed like night lookouts. 

I asked them all if they had seen Takatsuki-kun, but they all shook their heads to the sides.

Hmm, can’t find Takatsuki-kun.

Searching blindly isn’t efficient. 

At these kinds of times…

I closed my eyes and had my ears, nose, and sixth sense work on full power. 

Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun Takatsuki-kun…where are you?

(I feel like it is over here.) (Aya)

I trust in my instinct that I honed in Laberintos. 

I noticed that the scent of Takatsuki-kun in the air was getting stronger. 

There’s no doubt it is over here! 

The place is a plaza that’s slightly further away from the campsite. 

There’s a small fountain closeby. 

There’s two people close to that fountain.

I saw the back figure of Takatsuki-kun and Fu-chan speaking under the light of the moon, at a distance that their shoulders could almost touch.

  1. You see this, mister poop? It’s your words, now let’s stuff it back down your pie hole.

    The Pope is losing his shit so much it’s actually entertaining 🤣 especially since nothing is really going his way.

  2. Found a typo here? Weaning haha

    Even when Sa-san was [wearing] cold protection equipment that looked like a fluffy down jacket, she was still trembling.

  3. Makoto no-kill magic makes a spell with death on its name LOL
    He could try partially unfreeze the monster and kill them one by one with his dagger…?
    Thanks for the chapter~☆

  4. That was a satisfying meeting. That pope is really noisy. Has he even contributed anything to this war effort?

    Looks like this supermove has a cooldown. Guess it can’t be too easy. Still, 10 thousand in half a day is pretty efficient.

    Furiae was correct. Sa-san’s love is indeed heavy. That was kinda awesome, kinda freaky.

  5. Thanks for the chapter.
    If the spell was strong enough to make the monsters ‘fragile’ to the point of breaking with a Meteor spell, then it should have already killed them.

  6. > “Furiae-san was puffing out air on her hands going ‘haah haah’.
    Even those natural actions of hers are alluring.”

    If ever Furi-san has been in modern world, i bet even her air can be sold at 10,000$ on the auction site…

    > “I gave it a cool name like ‘Eternal Death Blizzard’, but in reality it is just an ice magic spell with a wide range.”
    You know, this new magic of yours was really ok. Yesterday, i read some manga updates and the MC over there created a Rejuvenation magic called “get well”.
    If compare to yours, yours much better…

    > “I saw the back figure of Takatsuki-kun and Fu-chan speaking under the light of the moon, at a distance that their shoulders could almost touch. ”
    I just felt in love with these lovely couples sharing the night under the moonlight…
    My heart was ice cold like in forever, but scene like this melted my heart again.
    My heart was saying to visit again the p**hub

  7. Thanks for the chapter! I wonder if our hero is still unconciously leaking his charm magic honed to ridiculous levels?

  8. Thanks for the chapter
    the 1st order got a good exp festival
    Makoto and Lucy a good opportunity to rise their magic proficiency
    and great sage got a good laugh
    that day was a good day.

  9. Well it doesn’t weird if sa-san can find Makoto by scent, she a Lamia.
    Her kind trait must have good tracking skill and senses unlike human of course.
    Makoto achievement is piling up and I still wanna know his soul book rn.

  10. Thanks for the chapter~!

    Sa-san is getting more and more dangerous about Makoto. I wonder why he hadn’t been stabbed yet.

    Also the Furi flag keep rising, and the ship’s almost getting ready to sail. Ahoy mates!

  11. Is it me or sa-san has legit skills finding him, it looks a wife trying find his husband cheating, and she caught him cheating. 😂😏

    Hahah everyone just keep quiet, and great sage sure is laughing with a smug look in her face.

    I really hate that pope, he just go down to conclusion without hearing the full story, he wants to behead him. Why don’t just die. Blad geezer.

    Damn, this what I’m waiting for POV of Furi, and makoto. I ship them.

    Thanks for the chapter. I want more.

  12. His naming sense is not right. I want to see how much life he’s acquired, synching with Furi would have her having feelings for him just like the others. With all the achievements he’s accomplished he doesn’t catch a break. The Pope is a walking pile of horse crap. Other than Makoto, which of the other heroes have done as much? There’s a big difference between doing and being able to do. Thanks for the chapter and rereading again.

  13. Lucy is complaining about Makoto’s spell but she’s the one Sephiroth-ing it up and going “Rocks fall. Everybody dies.”

    Makoto you coward. He should’ve just kissed Lucy. He can just make it up to the rest of his harem later.

    The 1st Division is already the elites of Highland and now they got an XP Festival so they should be even more powerful. Anyways while Makoto’s spell didn’t kill anybody, it should still have given him some lifespan and maybe XP for being able to stop an army of that size all by himself.

    Somebody needs to behead that shitty Pope. I don’t care who, just off him already. He’s not important to this alliance so it wouldn’t make any difference if he’s there or not.

    Gera-san probably really wants to rush to Makoto’s side so he doesn’t get the march stolen from him again. It’d be funny if he tried to beg his imouto to take him there. Meanwhile Great Sage is just highly amused by what Makoto did and probably also how the Pope and Ira got shown up. Ira meanwhile seems displeased that Makoto was able to stop an army of 10,000 while suffering no losses which she probably hasn’t ever predicted.

    Uh that’s a bit creepy there Sa-san. Tracking Makoto by his scent. Also what the hell does she mean she’s got a sixth sense? Is it a Makoto finding sense? Welp looks like Makoto is diligently raising his affection points with Furi. Of course by doing it unintentionally. Anyways will Sa-san barge in demanding Makoto raise affection points with her next?

    1. Now I’m really wandering whether Furiae likes the light hero or she likes Makato and he’s misunderstanding as usual. Well either way Sa-san is definitly gonna see her as another love rival lol.

      Ps: Thanks for the chapter translater-sama!

  15. and now i wonder who going to win over furiae, is she aiming for harem 😂😂
    and remind me again is the pope under 10 years old, iirc he should old man right?

  16. Huh? Cliff? Why a cliff?! Haaah Iguess Lucy did use meteor again, it’s been a while.

    Seriously Takki-dono, don’t call it insta-death when it is an ice prison. Still awesome though, get the vibe that even if it had been 5 or even 10 times the number of enemies they would all still have become frozen solid. Also what happened to freezing the enemies from the inside out? Seriously want to see that technique come back!

    And Lolibaba-sama was right, just shut all the noise up with results. I mean seriously. Who else could ahve created such results besides our boy Takki-dono.

    This may just be me but I am not sure Ira was angry at Pope Roma but was silent as she hadn’t actually expected Takki-dono to manage to do what he did. I don’t doubt she was messing with Takki-dono but I also don’t think she expected him to be ABLE to do as much as he has done.

    1. They explained before that they cant see the future of Makoto right? Maybe that is why the bitch doesnt like it. She rely in see the future thus when he acts maybe he can trow off the future that see can predict.
      Like a butterfly efect.

      1. It was explained that she can not see the futures of things not from the world (Naia and by extension her Oracle being the cited examples), but it was never expressely mentioned that she couldn’t see that about Takki-dono. It was mostly infered here in the comments that as he is himself outside of the world she shouldn’t be able to.

        Completely agree that as she can’t see what he will do yet what he does completely changes the future (in fact I highly suspect that as he can choose “paths” at critical points it goes beyond changing the future but completely derails fate) it causes one hell of a butterfly effect. I however think she somehow wasn’t aware of this until now, don’t ask me how she could somehow be unaware though. I still think that she should have known about everything that has happened (and if her foresight/clairvoyance is really so vaunted and supreme she should have known about all of the catastrophes AND mentioned/acted to subvert them through her usual channels) and that Takki-dono was at the centre of changing those futures.

      2. well, i think seeing the future have effect to make the happen, it’s called observer effect or law it’s from Zettai Karen Children, because the future seen/observed it’s going to happen so she probably the cause (indirectly) of Light Hero Fall later..

      3. They can see the futures of the otherworlders, just not Moon oracle or Goddess, but the problem with any fortune telling of Makoto’s future, is that he isn’t obedient enough to let them happen. Furiae saw him and his friends die in the Fire Nation, and he made it go away.

      4. I think it’s more like, she can predict what Makoto will do. But there’s the fact that Makoto can choose what he wants to do by the RPG Gamer, when it give him choices to make. That could be changing not only the outcome for himself but things related to him as well, so it could had derailed most if not all of her predictions, like, the actual assassin of the Light Hero suddenly sees Makoto as the greater danger so switch its target, or the troops of the demon lords feel that Makoto it’s too powerful and retreats… many outcomes that changes things around him since if only 1 strings of fate that are mangled with others forces itself out of the mess, it will cause some sort of damage since it was not removed carefully. In the end, being different from what it was before.

  17. If he fight in the middle of the ocean, he could use water pressure to kill his enemies. Before, with his Spirit Magic going berserk, he could use [Water Magic: Water Depth 5000 meters]. Now, he should at least be able to have double that amount with his magic proficiency over 300. The deepest part of ocean on Earth is the Mariana Trench 10,984 metres and the pressure is at 1,086 bars or 1071 atm.

    1. Definitely want to see him do his depth crush, haaaah why are so many awesome techniques and spells left behind and never seen again? I want to see more of them!

        1. Isn’t his Water Dragonj claw Water jet cutter? Would love to see Absolute Zero but I get the feeling that the spirits wouldn’t li- hold on… water spirits like things calm and peaceful right? so maybe they would like Absolute Zero. I mean at that point nothing, I mean NOTHING, is moving. Or maybe it is something of a death magic related spell

    2. i think he can do that due to limit of distance so either he do freezing or do water cutter like you said or may be he just need create whirlpool

      1. Instead of his level, i think it should be his proficiency yet again that leveled up (then its an increase eh, not a level up lel). He didn’t do anything to deal considerable damage towards the monsters afterall, only freezing them.

  18. Thanks for the chapter~

    Lmao cry harder pope
    And Great Sage-sama actually laughs! Haha take that!
    Ira-sama seems annoyed by the pope too heh? Now i’m even more sure that she was just messing around with Makoto.

    At first i thought that Aya has become a yandere
    Well she might be in the future, lel

    1. There have always been hints that she is Yandere. Personally I think it poor form she isn’t willing to allow/encourage it and then take advantage and join in… then again she may be waiting for all of them to have the opportunity together.

    1. If he fight in the middle of the ocean, he could use water pressure to kill his enemies. Before, with his Spirit Magic going berserk, he could use [Water Magic: Water Depth 5000 meters]. Now, he should at least be able to have double that amount with his magic proficiency over 300. The deepest part of ocean on Earth is the Mariana Trench 10,984 metres and the pressure is at 1,086 bars or 1071 atm.

      1. Yeah, but he don’t even think on that and because they are strong water monster of the army of the Demon Lord of the ocean we don’t really know for sure how effective could be, Vegeta endured without instantly die until 5000 even though be human, and in that moment Makoto lost the control and conscience and simple left the spirit rampant, we can’t say for sure if he can reach 10.000 meters, if he use his spirit arm like a god like when the meteor the should be possible but aside from that time we haven’t saw him using the power in the same way than that time.

      2. But Ortho said that there were no noteworthy monsters or demons, so it seems they are just greatly outnumbered.

        Surely Makoto could use Water Prison to drag and drown them, but they came from the sea so they might have some resistance towards water pressure. Well even though their resistance isn’t infinite, it would be more effective to just freeze and kill them one by one (easy target) than drown them all at the same time (hard target since they might still be able to resist and move)

        Makoto wants to try to use flashy spell to show off anyway lol

    1. I was driving back home when the chapter was posted.
      Delayed to be able to comment for 15 minutes damn it!!!!!!!
      The pope needs to look out the definition of impartial on a dictionary.
      And was Sa-san y going yanyan or stalker mode?

  19. Lol. Makoto, why do you name a magic [Eternal Death Blizzard] if it doesn’t kill the enemy ? Just because it is cool ?

    He wasted an opportunity at kissing Lucy.

    Sa-san gives some yandere vibes.

    “I saw the back figure of Takatsuki-kun and Fu-chan speaking under the light of the moon, at a distance that their shoulders could almost touch.”
    Furiae is beginning to fall in love with Makoto. Makoto, if she asks something like “Am I important to you ?”, you should answer yes.

    1. He would definitely mess up by saying “Of course you are important. Well, without you i can’t summon Undine for the second time. The first time was at the wood country” or something like that

      1. hmm, wait arent you mistaken her for sofia, i mean he neee synchornize with Sofia to summon Undine, he probably can summon Moon Spirit if it’s Furiae tho..

    2. Yup, he wasted the chance to kiss but probably avoided being squashed by Sa-san and it seems Fu-chan is starting to get jealous as well.

      Plus, of courses Takki-dono will say Fu-chan is important but he will probably add something that ruins the moode and makes her annoyed. This is Takki-dono we are talking about, it will be true, honest, well meaning, and completely the wrong thing to say whilst still somehow raising affection points.

      1. Are there illustration for Janet.
        If there is, I am really interested to see if she is also a LOLI*
        if she is, the chance of her being accepted into the “harem” will be high
