WM – Chapter 212: Takatsuki Makoto wakes up

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Or more like, the ceiling is high.

There’s more than 10 meters from the ceiling. 

There’s murals and stained glass with stuff like angels and gods. 

Where am I?

The next moment I thought about looking around, something jumped in front of me. 

“Makoto!” “Takatsuki-kun!” 

Lucy and Sa-san.

Ugh! …I am being crushed.

I was hugged with incredible force.

“L-Lucy, Sa-san…” (Makoto)

I was about to tell them to calm down, but I choked on my words.

The faces of Lucy and Sa-san were a mess from tears and snot. 

E-Eh? …What situation is this? 

If I remember correctly, I was fighting the Sun Hero, and then…ah, I remember now! 

“Sa-san!” (Makoto)

“W-What? Takatsuki-kun?” (Aya)

“What happened to the wound dealt onto you by the Sun Hero?!” (Makoto)

“Eh? I am totally okay. I revived from the Remaining Lives. See?” (Aya)

She says this and flips her clothes. 

It was a beautiful stomach with no wounds at all.

“Want to try touching it?” (Aya)

Sa-san placed my hand on her stomach.

It is so smooth…

Wait, that’s not it.

“I-I get it already.” (Makoto)

I move my hand away from Sa-san a bit embarrassed and fix her clothes.

“Hey, you are only going to worry about Aya?” (Lucy)

Lucy hugged me as if sulking a bit.

“Sorry. Are you okay, Lucy?” (Makoto)

“Yeah, I’m fine.” (Lucy)

She says this and buries my head on her chest. 

Sa-san hugs me again.

“Hero Makoto.” 

Someone spoke to me from the back.

“Sofia?” (Makoto)

“Dummy…” (Sofia)

She gently held my head with both of her hands.

She was crying. 

…Eh? What’s happening right now?

My memories are a bit hazy here.

“When Eir-sama told me that you died…I…I…” (Sofia)

“……Sorry, Sofia.” (Makoto)

I see.

I died from the cost of transforming into a Spirit, huh.

“Takatsuki-kun!” 

The next one that came running towards me was Sakurai-kun.

“Heya, looks like I worried you guys.” (Makoto)

“…Of course, but I am relieved.” (Sakurai)

He directed me a face that seemed on the verge of tears.

Right, what about Furiae-san?! 

I look around restlessly, and I find a black haired beauty a little bit further away.

Furiae-san had her mouth wide open that didn’t fit her beauty. 

“Ooi, Princess…” (Makoto)

The moment I stood up and tried to go there…

“T-Takatsuki-kun! You should wear something…” (Sakurai)

“Hm?” (Makoto)

At that moment, I noticed…

I am naked.

(Uoooooooooo! Why?!) (Makoto)

Lucy, Sa-san, Princess Sofia; no one told me! 

“Takatsuki Makoto, wear this.” 

“Ah, thanks.” (Makoto)

At some point in time, the Destiny Oracle Esther-san gave me something that looks like a robe. 

I hurriedly wear that.

Fuh, saved.

I once again look around.

Aside from my party members, there’s Princess Sofia and her bodyguards, Princess Noel and her bodyguards, Sakurai-kun, and Oracle Esther-san.

What a weird combination of people.

Of course the Sun Hero Alexander is not here.

The Pope doesn’t seem to be here either. 

I ask a question I had.

“Was the one who revived me…the Destiny Goddess Ira-sama?” (Makoto)

I looked at Oracle Esther-san and said this.

“…That’s right. I used the miracle of resurrection.” (Ira)

“““?!”””

The ones around were stirred up more than I did.

And then, the people around took distance one after the other. 

“The Destiny Goddess Ira-sama…has descended then.” (Noel)

Princess Noel says as if representing everyone. 

At those words, Princess Noel, the bodyguards, Princess Sofia, and even Lucy kneeled. 

Sakurai-kun and Sa-san hurriedly kneeled too. 

A Goddess has descended. 

Normally, I should be following their example. 

But I wanted to complain to her. 

“Ira-sama, what is Sun Hero Alexander? I faced a terrible experience. Keep a proper eye on him.” (Makoto)

“M-Makoto-sama?!” (Noel) 

“Hero Makoto?! That way of speaking is just…!” (Sofia)

Princess Noel and Princess Sofia were pale white. 

It is okay, it is okay. 

Ira-sama is unexpectedly kind after all.

“About the matter of the Sun Hero Alexander, I will be explaining it from now on. Also, correct that ‘unexpectedly’. I am overflowing with kindness.” (Ira)

“Okay~.” (Makoto)

“Child of Noah, you have a foul mouth… Well, fine.” (Ira)

She really did forgive me.

Ira-sama is a tsundere goddess.

Right, I want to talk to Noah-sama too.

She must be angry that I died…

Noah-sama? 

Are you watching~? 

(……)

There’s no response.

Is she angry?

“Noah is watching. I have currently set a Divine Precinct Barrier, so Noah’s voice doesn’t reach.” (Ira)

Ira-sama speaks.

I see. 

I should apologize later.

“Now then, next…” (Ira)

Ira-sama continues.

“A certain personage will be explaining the details this time.” (Ira)

Saying this, a giant magic circle appeared in the center of the Great Church. 

A magic circle that shone rainbow. 

The magic formula was for ‘summoning’.

Who is it calling?

Mana was flowing from Ira-sama like a flood. 

All of it was being sucked into the magic circle.

This spell…is impossible for a human.

The mana of a normal person would dry up before even activating.

Something shiny came out from the giant magic circle. 

“Eh?” (Noel)

The surprised voice of Princess Noel resonated.

The one who showed up was a long, slender, and well-proportioned blonde haired beauty wearing white armor. 

She had a halo that couldn’t be seen directly. 

She is not a person.

My instincts were telling me that she is on a whole other plane of existence. 

“Raise your head.” 

Being told this, I noticed…

Not only Princess Noel, Sakurai-kun, and Princess Sofia, even Lucy, Sa-san, and Furiae-san had kneeled. 

Their heads hanging down as if they had forgotten how to breathe. 

The only one who was standing absentminded was me.

Ah, there’s one other.

Ira-sama was standing with a meek face.

…Should I kneel too? 

I made eye-contact with Ira-sama, but she didn’t say anything.

It seemed like even Ira-sama was refraining from opening her mouth. 

Even Ira-sama… 

In other words, this personage is…

“I am the Sun Goddess, Althena.” 

It is not like she answered the question in my mind.

With a slightly curt tone, the ruler of the world appeared in front of me.

  1. I wonder, is it just Jupiter that is the “bad one” and the daughters basically just have to follow his rules? Because I got the feeling that this Altheia isn’t as bad as I had thought? Well, she is probably rotten, but perhaps not that bad? Or she really is

  2. if the snake church is still alive after being hunted by that b*stard then they really have some mighty plot armor

  3. Yep, Makoto is completely and utterly unfazed. I wonder if the goddesses have some sort of passive “Awe Aura” or something like that? That’d be mind-altering so Makoto’s unfazedness will make more sense. I mean, he’s been this unfazed even since the first time meeting with Noah after all. And leave it to Makoto to air every complaint straight into a goddess’ face.

  5. I wonder what Makoto could get as apology.
    I hope he will ask for skill change from [Water Magic] Beginner to [All element Magic] Beginner.
    As it would be most helpful stuff he could possibly get from Olympians for cleaning up their mess again.

  6. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    Good job Makoto for voicing your complains!
    With how he asked Ira to keep an eye on Alex we can suppose that he is still alive, but in what state is the question.
    If they knew how often he meet the goddesses and how they interact with each other carefreely their minds might break! x)
    If Althena ever apologize while bowing their minds might break for real though. XD

  9. Man. So much information, yet so little. Is Alex eliminated, then?

    Looks like we finally have the manager on the phone. Let’s file some complaints with miss stubborn and lawful.

  10. I think i need to remove this from my reading list for at least a month or so. Cliff kun is too much for me huhu.

  12. Thanks for the chapter, the author is going around instead of going to the meat of the issua, what really happened to him, is he still a half spirit?

  13. Thanks for the chapter.

    -next chapter will be frustrating for most the reader

    – the explanations will long

    – almost all the remaining chapters of this volume will end with cliffhanger.

  15. Thanks for the chapter~!

    Aaaaand another cliff. Are we in the grand canyon somehow?

    Wake me up when all of this is done

  22. Geh. Isn’t Goddess Althena practically archnemesis of Goddess Noah at the moment? Won’t this be dangerous for a certain evil god apostle? xD

  23. Thank you for the Chapter!!

    seems guess kept missing..
    i thought he run out of Lifespan but seems it is not or Miracle Ressurection Restore his Lifespan like he never use Spirit possession?

    i wonder what will Athenna do. since Makoto Broke much taboo but Athenma do owe Makoto a good amout of debt too.

  24. OK so according to Makoto he died because that was the cost of turning into a spirit.

    Sheesh Sa-san, TPO. Makoto just came back to life and she’s already making him feel her bare stomach.

    Aaannnddd of course Makoto is naked. I was kind of expecting Ira to also start blushing when she handed him a robe to cover up. Anyways given their interactions now I guess Ira is definitely joining Makoto’s harem. That makes her goddess number 3 in his harem behind Noah and Eir.

    So yeah there are many things to question about. What happened to Alex? What happened to the pope bastard? Is Makoto still human or has he become the Water Spirit King permanently? What about his spirit arm and Noah’s Divinity that in a previous chapter it said that Makoto destroyed with his dagger? Where even is his dagger? Makoto was brought back naked so obviously he doesn’t have his dagger with him. Hopefully Althena will answer everything.

    Speaking of Althena I wonder what hidden flaw she has? All the goddesses we’ve met have had at least one.

    1. According to author, Ira is written to be the enemy. Then her popularity exploded, while people have been asking for her to enter Makoto’s harem.

      By the time the newest chapter on LN is written (which is today btw) he still hasn’t decided yet whether to put Ira in Makoto’s harem or not.

      PS: Since this is stuff outside of story, and what author wrote on the comment section, this doesn’t count as spoilers right?

      2. holy shit here’s hoping it happens.

        then again….there is the issue of a certain two people in a certain future arc also being part of it….i dont think the author will allow an 8 person harem lmao

        i hope it happens though. go go harem rangers

      3. I don’t remember that in the latest WN chapter. I looked at the end of it MTL’d and from what I could understand all it talked about was Mary being part of the harem in the LN version and how she and Janet aren’t in the harem in the WN but he likes Janet’s LN design a lot so he’s at a loss if he should make them enter the harem in the WN.

        1. not that recent
          around middle of next arc? but seeing that he hasn’t given more of his thought, I do think author still haven’t decided yet

  26. I’m so tired of cliffs, don’t know what to do. Explanations of what the f#$% happened should be coming out and I hope soon. That 360 degree perspective and 100 percent calm is hell on wheels. He talks to gods like talking to one of the girls. Amazing as usual. Thanks for the chapter, Reigokai.

  28. The guy that said he wanted not Ira but Althena to be the one apologizing come here have a cookie, I think you called right. 🍪🍪🍪

    Now then, we have a trend of capable goddesses with slightly disappointing traits. I wonder what Althena’s trait is.

  31. tldr. Makoto does a Karen moment where he needs to speak to Ira’s manager about Alexander since she should be the one managing threats like him. Coincidentally her manager Althena appeared to calm his complaints.

  32. Yeah i gave in to the Temptation and read the MTL. But thanks for the beautiful translation as always. Kinda like this part since it’s quite confusing on MTL. Thanks for the chapter~

  36. mountain side again! and princess, do something! hug him or whatever! kiss him if you wanted to! you are my beloved character here!

  39. Yeah. As vicious as it sounds I really hope Alex was killed.. not just “well, he learned his lesson..” or at least stripped of all of his divinity and immortality. Needs to wander the world as just any other human.

  44. After a cliff, comes another cliff… This author really is a master of mind torture. We didn’t ask to walk through the Great Canyon, but here we are.

  46. Thanks for the update

    Oh Makoto we miss you and he waste ni time to do his antic, so Althena-sama comes to scold Makoto ir everyone else?

  49. Wait, did Althena come on this plane in the flesh? Isn’t it something that could drive everybody insane?🤔
    Or maybe it’s just Noah. I wonder if it is because Althena is there that Ira put up the barrier, like, the two reeeally don’t get along, or if it’s some kind of punishment because she didn’t stop Makoto’s transformation…

    2. In the chapter it says
      >She had a halo that couldn’t be seen directly.
      Without looking at the original text, it probably should be
      >She had a halo (so) that (she) couldn’t be seen directly.
      Which is consistent with how Eir originally appeared before Makoto (in Noah’s realm) before finding out she didn’t need to obscure her appearance in front of Makoto. But yes for everyone else, it would be a problem if she didn’t do that.

  50. I can only imagine an older version of Janet when described like that. Yeah I still think Eir killed him in Water Spirit form since she reported it to Sophia. The holy goddesses most likely have some way to deal with spirits since they manage to win the war against the titan gods.

    So Makoto was naked….. is Furiae shocked by Makoto’s birthday suit or him coming back? Meanwhile, Lucy, Aya, Sophia gave his naked body a hug. Let that sink in.

    Missed opportunity by Makoto to go “Stop ogling me, you perverts!” and Ira gave him a robe to cover up. How kind. I think we might get a scene similar to how Makoto lost it with Sophia after they helped Sakurai defeat the taboo dragons.

  54. It’s a bit annoying that they still haven’t explained anything, but well, next chapter I hope, at least we can finally meet Althena, I’m really curious to know her and how will be the relaptionship between she and Makoto.

  57. How can we constantly fall on a cliff?
    How is the terrain able to do that to us?
    So the sun goddess makes her entrance.
    I want her to pull Ira’s cheeks for letting Alexander do as he pleases and the pope has to die no questions ask just kill him her he stands!!!!
    Or instead of killing the pope just mark him as heretic for going against the will of god and excommunicate him or something.

    2. Thanks

      Goddess Althena Sanjou! Finally the leader of holy gods make appearence, I wonder what kind of personality she has.
      Btw makoto, you are really the most savage guy in the world, you were the only one to dare to Order Ira and said “Tsundere goddess” (she can hear it ofc). i wonder how makoto will communicate with althena

      1. I can definitely see Makoto pissing off Althena one way or the other together with Ira. I feel the tsukkomi coming from them.

        Seeing that she’s here, I guess Water Spirit King is a really big taboo? I don’t think she’ll come just because her half brother did something stupid assuming Alex is a demigod. Did Makoto just f*ck up by going overboard?

        Oh and speaking of Alex, I have a premonition that he’ll show up in the next chapter and his mind breaks when he sees Makoto again and everyone is shocked. That’s a classic trope I’d love to see.

    1. Reigokai – san, that was an excellent Cliffhanger 😭😭😭. It pains me.

      Anyways the debut of athena is hear. I like makoto being straight forward of his words towards Ira. Now how wpuld makoto deal with Athena.

    1. It’s normal for chapter’s length to fluctuates. I remember there’s a chapter which has almost the same length as this one way back around ch 20-30ish

  62. Thanks for the chapter~

    Ira-sama resurrected Makoto? I wonder if that’s what she wants to do out of her own consideration or because higher gods tell her to. Hearing her way of speaking to Makoto, it seems Janet-san is true after all that Makoto is kinda close to Ira-sama.

    I feels like their relation’s atmosphere is just like Makoto and Great Sage-sama the first few times they met xD. I guess there would be the chance of advancement of relation between Makoto and Ira in the future?

    [Not only Princess Noel, Sakurai-kun, and Princess Sofia, even Lucy, Sa-san, and Furiae-san had kneeled.]

    Wait, Sa-san already know the figure of Althena-sama? Or is it just the effect of the Divine Aura which doesn’t affect Makoto at all?
    At any rate, oh boy here we go facing the big picture. I wonder what would Althena-sama do to Makoto. He uhhh, killed Alex i guess since he isn’t there?

    I hope Althena-sama doesn’t have any sign of grudge towards our boy. All the Goddesses we’ve met so far is pretty kind to Makoto. I’m not fully sure that Althena-sama would have the same case.

    2. Well, Althena forgave Makoto for being the Apostle of Noah despite Noah saying that Althena is a strict goddess, so she might be kinder than expected.

      For Makoto and Ira, they are like troublesome siblings. Ira would be the “perfect” little sister and Makoto the “normal” and “average” older brother. Now that I think about it, they are kinda cute when they interact. I would say that they are like Taihei and Umaru.

      1. That what I thought of too when thinking of Makoto and Ira’s intereactions! You can actually ship these two though.

        Ship! SHIP! SHIP!

      1. I guess that Makoto can’t sync with God now, but I think his Water Spirit King form will be sealed so he will need to sync with a god in the future. Ira, maybe?

    1. Yeah they really do somehow. Like brother and sister, husband and wife, or an old married couple, or almost like two Makoto talking to each other. Makoto and Ira have really good chemistry with each other.

      To ship or not to ship. That is the question.

      3. Ira = Spoiler Goddess.
        Makoto is the sort of gamer who doesn’t read the walk-through.
        But it is okay to ship them.
        Prophecy: Ira will become more popular in time.

  64. Thanks for the chapter

    I know it’s impolite for me, a free-reader, to say this, but ..

    Next chapter please *bow

  65. This chapter was way too short! I have several things I want to know! Will Alex remain trapped in the deeps of the oceans for the rest of his life? Why did makoto died after becoming a spirit king? Did the gods kill him? Does makoto still have the spirit arm after being resurrected back as a human? How much did makoto mana control increased from that?

    2. Well, Makoto offered his body so i guess he died by human standard but not his soul. Maybe he didn’t have his spirit arm anymore.

      And if my guess is true, then it doesn’t matter anymore whether Makoto has spirit arm or not anymore since he is the Water Spirit King already, or at least his soul used to be the King, which should leave something related to Spirit King once he’s back being a human

      1. About how he died, remember the Alex’s POV’s chapter? Esther-sama, or should i say Ira-sama said that the Titan Gods gave nature a will and Undine is one of them. I remember how Alex mentions that there’s several blue skinned women helping Makoto.
        Ira-sama also taught Alex :
        – An existence that ruled over them, the Great Spirits
        – The Spirit King apparently shows up from within the most experienced believers of the Titan Gods, in an Apostle that offers their flesh.

        Idk why they need the Apostle’s body, but i think they shared the Nature’s will, their own will with the soul of the Apostle. That could explains why Undine and other water spirits helped Makoto in the fight against Alex.

        So far, Makoto used charm magic by the help of Furiae-san to attract Undine. I know his first encounter with her was Undine showing up, but remember how Makoto said “I would do anything” and right after that, Undine shows up? I think Undine take that as Makoto would want to offer his body to be the Spirit King someday. Idk what makes her thought that way though. Maybe she just wants a new King to serve

    3. Makoto used sacrifice magic, he offered his live to save Furiae and defeat Alex, it was already mentioned previously, that’s why the goddess don’t wanted that Makoto transformed even if it was a emergency. The fact that Makoto died prove that Alex almost surely also died considering that he couldn’t defeat, stop or escape, the only other alternative is that he was saved by a god.

    4. Ignore Spirit state for result of Alex’s fate. Spirit King form was for immortality(def) and cc lockdown(trapped in the ocean of water dragons w/o light). For offence there was The Dagger(Alex mentioned it himself, plus check earlier chaps for dagger’s info) with God Killer as one of many traits.
      Makoto was an immortal enemy with aoe cc lock and weapon negating divine immortality. Alex was ‘eventually’ to be killed

    5. The answer to your question is “yes”. But which question(s) am I answering?
      I’ve equipped a Shield of Ambiguity that adds [spoiler protection] + 5.

  66. Finally goddess althena showed herself huh…

    Well, makoto doesn’t seek the goddesses, the goddesses who come to makoto themselves.

  67. Thanks! Nepu!
