“Uhm, got some time?” (Furiae)
A faint purple…negligee…is what’s called, right?
Furiae-san had an alluring nightwear as she entered my room.
“Yeah, of course.” (Makoto)
I was surprised by the difference in her usual atmosphere, and I invited her to have a seat in my room.
But Furiae-san sat on my bed.
Why there?
Is it a serious conversation?
When Lucy and Sa-san came to my room, they were having a conversation while I trained though…
After thinking about it, I stopped my training and sat on the seat.
“……”
“……..?”
Furiae-san isn’t saying anything.
“Princess?” (Makoto)
Before I could say ‘what brings you here?’…
“Sit by my side!”, and she slaps the bed.
“O-Okay.” (Makoto)
I said this and sat by the side of Furiae-san.
And then, I peek at her face.
She isn’t making eye contact.
But I could tell that she was trying to say something.
Is it something that’s hard to say?
It might be about leaving the party since she has become a Holy Maiden and will be founding a nation.
If Furiae-san plans on focusing on that, I intend to help her out.
Ah, but I promised Sakurai-kun that I would help him in the fight against the Great Demon Lord.
When that happens, we would have to separate.
Also, I personally would want to show up in the last battle.
I waited for Furiae-san to speak while I thought about this.
“……”
“……”
I could hear the slight hustle and bustle of the city afar.
The nights of Symphonia are long.
But the inside of the room was silent.
“U-Uhm! My Knight!” (Furiae)
“Yeah?” (Makoto)
Furiae-san held my hand and faced here.
Her eyes were serious.
What is she going to say…?
“The other day…you saved me from the Sun Hero… Thanks for that.” (Furiae)
“Eh?” (Makoto)
Talking about that at this point?
I thought for sure that it would be a talk about the future.
“I…was happy. My Charm doesn’t work on you, yet you risked your life for me…” (Furiae)
“Dying wasn’t part of my plan though…” (Makoto)
Moreover, by the hand of Eir-sama.
Noah-sama also scolded me real hard.
I sighed lightly.
“Hey, My Knight.” (Furiae)
“Y-Yes?” (Makoto)
My head was in reflection mode from my past, so I changed gears.
I face Furiae-san again.
“I have been given a lot from you. You helped me in Highland, brought me to a whole lot of countries, saved me from the Sun Hero, and made me a Holy Maiden…” (Furiae)
“Hmm…” (Makoto)
She became a Holy Maiden thanks to Althena-sama though.
The others were also not only thanks to me.
“I became your Guardian Knight and received the Charm Skill. That’s why we are even, right?” (Makoto)
“That alone isn’t enough. It isn’t even. But I don’t know how to pay you back, what to do to make you happy, or what to do to tell you about these feelings…” (Furiae)
“…”
‘There’s no need to be so reserved’, is what I wanted to say, but when I saw the tears welling up in Furiae-san’s eyes, I swallowed the words.
By the time I noticed, Furiae-san’s slender body leaned on me, and her face was so close that it felt as if it would reach my face.
Her obsidian-like damp eyes looking up at me.
“Makoto…” (Furiae)
Furiae-san called my name.
According to my memories, she has only called me that at the time when we formed the Guardian Knight pact.
“Don’t be so reckless anymore…” (Furiae)
“Princess…” (Makoto)
Furiae-san’s eyes were looking straight at me as if piercing right through me, and I couldn’t move.
Clear Mind is active, right…?
The sound of my heart beating is loud.
Furiae-san silently closed her eyes.
Her beautiful face slowly approached, and her lips were pushed against mine.
The moment I was kissed, I caught a slight flowery scent.
I held her shoulders, and when I was wondering about whether to close my eyes…
“Makoto! Let’s train!” (Lucy)
“Takatsuki-kun! I made a late-night snack!” (Aya)
The door was opened with a bang!
Lucy was talking about training yet she had a bottle of wine in her hand, and there’s Sa-san showing up with a food plate on hand.
““……””
The gazes of four people interconnect.
Furiae-san separated from me in an instant.
“Y-You’ve got it wrong!” (Furiae)
Furiae-san shouts.
Lucy and Sa-san ignore her and come here.
“Haah… Makoto, for now, drink this.” (Lucy)
Lucy who supposedly came to train was for some reason filling up a glass with wine.
“For the predator Takatsuki-kun, here’s some bone meat for a late-night snack~.” (Aya)
Sa-san placed a giant plate down with a smile!
…I am the type that doesn’t eat much at night though…
“U-Uhm…Mage Lucy-san? Hero Aya-san?” (Furiae)
Furiae-san’s voice was trembling.
I tried asking what bothered me.
“Did you hear the voice of us two?” (Makoto)
“Obviously.” (Lucy)
“Loud and clear.” (Aya)
Lucy and Sa-san easily answer.
“Wa?!” (Furiae)
Furiae-san was shocked, but Lucy has the terrifying ears of an elf, and there’s the Lamia Queen Sa-san who can detect the slightest of vibrations as sound.
A conversation in the same building as these two is the same as having a conversation at their side.
“But I didn’t expect you to be kissing.” (Lucy)
“Yeah, Fu-chan is pretty aggressive.” (Aya)
“W-Wait! You heard everything?!” (Furiae)
Furiae-san was getting all flustered at Lucy and Sa-san who were acting all normal.
…I am also not that calm.
Just what in the world was that kiss just now…
“Now, Furi, looks like you have finally admitted your feelings for Makoto.” (Lucy)
“I won’t forgive you if you try to wriggle out of this one~.” (Aya)
“No way! You were letting me swim around on purpose?!” (Furiae)
“No, that’s not it…” (Lucy)
“You know…just listening to what you were saying made my heart beat faster.” (Aya)
“Wuuh…to think you were listening…” (Furiae)
The 3 girls were having a lively conversation there.
This is my room though…
“Here, Makoto. Come and drink.” (Lucy)
“What about the training?” (Makoto)
“You can do it while drinking, right?!” (Lucy)
Today’s Lucy is more pushy than normal.
“Takatsuki-kun, you put your hands on Fu-chan, huh~.” (Aya)
“S-Sa-san?!” (Makoto)
Your eyes are scary!
Furiae-san at my side had a bright red face even before drinking.
In the end, it ended up in a drinking party.
“So, Makoto, are you going to go out with Furi?” (Lucy)
“Aah, Fu-chan too, huh~.” (Aya)
“Hmm…” (Makoto)
Lucy and Sa-san were probing me.
“Wait! It is not like that!” (Furiae)
Furiae-san cuts in.
“Hm? Furi, even after doing something like that, you can’t become honest?” (Lucy)
“Looks like she hasn’t drunk enough, Lu-chan.” (Aya)
“Also! You drink too, Makoto!” (Lucy)
“Why me too…” (Makoto)
The two who were kind in the evening are being scary.
Lucy and Sa-san made me drink a whole ton.
Furiae-san was also made to drink a lot.
Even when it had gotten late into the night, Lucy and Sa-san were not freeing us.
“…I will sleep here today!” (Furiae)
Furiae-san laid down on my bed.
Oi oi…
“Then I will do that too.” (Lucy)
“I will go get pillows, okay~?” (Aya)
Looks like Lucy and Sa-san will be sleeping here too.
…Why?
“You people, even though you stay the night in My Knight’s room so nonchalantly, why are you two still…” (Furiae)
“Wa?! Isn’t that fine?!” (Lucy)
“T-That’s right. It is because Lu-chan always gets in the way!” (Aya)
“You plan on making it my fault?! You also get in the way all the time, Aya!” (Lucy)
“That’s not true! It is Lu-chan’s fault!” (Aya)
“Fine… I am the one at fault for asking… I’m sleepy.” (Furiae)
The 3 seem to be getting lively.
I lied sideways at the corner of the bed.
It didn’t take long before I couldn’t endure the drowsiness and fell asleep.
◇◇
The next day.
I woke up later than usual.
When I look at my side…Furiae-san was sleeping.
A string of her negligee was slipping off, so I put it back in place.
Further back there’s Sa-san and Lucy hugging each other as they slept.
You two really get along well.
More like, the population of this bed is crazy.
I sat at the corner of the bed.
The Great Demon Lord Iblis is resurrecting today.
I can somewhat tell that the whole city is noisy.
Alright, let’s prepare to go out!
Just at the moment I was about to leave the bed…
*Bang!!*
The door opened up without even knocking.
“Hero Makoto, the Great Demon Lord has resurrected! Please come to the Holy Maiden Anna’s Great Church at on—”
The one who entered was Princess Sofia.
““……””
Princess Sofia looked at my face, and then directed her eyes at Furiae-san, Lucy, and Sa-san, and then she returned her gaze to me.
I averted my gaze.
Princess Sofia walks over here.
Cold sweat runs down my back.
Princess Sofia makes me look forward with outstanding strength.
In front of me there’s the beautiful face of Princess Sofia who is smiling kindly…yet there’s a vein popping out.
“Last night must have been fun.” (Sofia)
“It is a misunderstanding!” (Makoto)
(Liar~.) (Eir)
(Lying is bad.) (Noah)
Eir-sama and Noah-sama retorted.
I pampered Princess Sofia a whole lot, and somehow managed to fix her mood.
"Don't you want to Awaken, young lady?" Middle Sector. A place where people believe there…

Thanks for the chapter...
I was waiting for this for so loooong.
Thank you translator-kun
Kekeke
So many events happening at once.
Anyways, I guess Furiae has officially joined the harem. Now the question is what's gonna happen with Sakurai...
for some reason, I imagine Makoto still doesn't realize that she likes him. she didn't directly say it to him and it was only lucy and sa-san harassing him about it. I think it's a 50-50 shot on him being too dense to realize it.
Didn't she just kissed him? No way in hell he doesn't know, especially Furi sleeping on his room.
Nah. He knows. Maybe he doesn't want to admit it to himself though.
He simply doesn't want her to like him.
Nothing with happen with Sakurai.
Even if he was a little be interested at first, he already handed her over to Makoto and has shown no jealously towards Makoto since then.
After this, when others ask about his lover, he answer that he has 4 lovers. Furi already count in.
and no one believes him.
Nothing will happen with Sakurai. OK he may have had some feelings for her but he's not stupid. He knew that he wouldn't be able to truly make her happy and open up her heart so that's why he tasked his best bro to do it instead. He has enough trust and faith in Makoto to be able to do that.
Wait... I thought Sakurai is part of the Harem though?
F*ck it. This is the only canon I'm accepting now. Makoto is actually building a 'Homie harem' and the regular harem is a disguise.
Fujiwara the reliable Megane.
Sakurai the Handsome Bishounen.
Leo the Adorable Shota
Geralt the Competitive Rival.
Reverse Harem is a go.
It would be nice if Sakurai is jealous. That guy should just explode until he reaches hell. His normie levels are off the chart.
tl:dr
I pitty Sakurai more then anything. As described, he is nothing but a tool for others. He has basicly been forced to become a weapon and breeding stud. While many think such a lifestyle would be great, after a while it would loose all the glamor you've attached to it. It becomes just another job you were told to do, rather then something you did because you enjoyed it.(end tl:dr)
Just as youve done above, i think you're misunderstanding me as well. While Sakurai certainly does have a harem and many children either on the way or already born. If you think about it, i cant really say he is really succeeding at life, least not by my definition. Other then maybe the two classmates, who among his many brides and partners treat him more then just a fucking post? Of the many children he will father, i wonder how many he will be actively involved with. And lets not go down the dark halls that are killing innocents because politicians told you to.
There are always the sociopaths that will say stupid shit like "no risk, all rewards" but is that really succeededing in life? Call me a cynic, but to me the life Sakurai leads is nothing but sad. He will never be able to be a real father. He will always be treated as a tool. And after a while, his current lifestyle will leach practicly any enjoyment out of the actions you all envy him for. Not to mention the horrors that will plague his nightmares.
You can't hate Sakurai based on future speculation. Especially turning evil and becoming a demon lord. As for hating him for being a riajuu, well I don't see any problem since thats definitely a joke.
When I say I hated Sakurai, I mean it as a figure of speech. If I may clarify myself, the hate I mean is not the loathe or detest type but more on the avoid or don’t like a bit type. I’m still skeptical about him. You know what I mean?
And have you even seen my comment of this thread? I thought it was obviously written as half joke, half serious and many took it seriously. The first part of my reply was just a bit of questioning on his definition of riajuu. I even added references to other characters since I thought it was a bit funny. Besides that, my reply may have given the implication of hating chads but I don’t. I live my no life and real life separately and I obviously don’t wish for people to die due to being a chad. I actually admire them since I like to hear their stories. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Hmmmm this is turning a bit unpleasant so yeah. Peace!
man, what is wrong with you? do you ACTUALLY take this "normie vs virgin" shit seriously? it's so, so childish and immature. wishing people dead because they're better than you is childish af. don't be an anime trope irl. chads are good people.
You don’t call a guy who’s been laid with more than 20 girls including 2 of the most beautiful girls in his class and made most of them pregnant, dated a college professor, and is always the center of attraction a riajuu? Even if he wanted it or not, that doesn’t change the facts. Hachiman and Kazuya must be very confused with your definitions of normies.
I know I’m just hating this guy for absurd reasons but even if he is kind right now, he might change later. The author could decide to make him a demon king for all we know. Remember Makoto’s favorite game? He said that the hero turned into a demon king later on. This might be a foreshadowing by the author referring to Sakurai. Of course this has not yet happened but still, the possibility is there. The point is, the story is still moving and until something big happens, this is my stance.
Totally agree on first part, so let's wipe our tears of jealousy envy and hate...
As 4 second part, you know, you gave me an idea. Sakurai getting stabbed (prophecy), being on a death bed, and Makoto using his Philosophers Stone(loot from immortal king DL) to save him. And as side effect turning him in a demon lord (in name, same personality)
But why would he? From what I can gather it's like this : Sakurai is the conscientious type who try to save everyone he can. He's that type, but he's not the type to stress himself out trying to save people he couldn't save either. It ties to a second defining part of his personality : he believes in Makoto in such a way that you can argue it's irrational. He believes that Makoto can do everything. He believes that the people he himself can't save, Makoto can. He believes that, if he were to fail, Makoto can finish the job. Furiae is the first case of that we see here. Sakurai was never in a position to help her in the long term. Were he to try, there will be a time when he's called to choose between Furiae and his loyalty to his cause as the Light Hero. If that happens, Sakurai isn't sure of he can choose properly, if at all. So he entrusts her to Makoto. And when his loyalty is called into a conflict, it was between his duty as the Light Hero and his loyalty to Makoto, to which his answer was easier : he's Makoto's ally no matter what.
Basically, there was probably never any romantic intention from Sakurai's end of things. What Sakurai did smelled of guilt, an attempt to make up for having slaughtered her people in front of her, and because he realized that Furiae isn't evil. Furiae was definitely infatuated at the time, but that's because as she monologued later, he's the first person to treat her decently as a person. Not because she's their legendary Moon Oracle (the Devilkins), not because she's charmed him (everyone else), he just treated her like she's a decent human being. It's just that Furiae's infatuation caused people to completely misread their relationship.
And honestly, I wouldn't even call Sakurai riajuu, at least not more than Makoto is. He's certainly romantically successful in the sense that he has at least three girls who all love him and wholeheartedly support him. But he also has to deal with the pressure of his position. And his harem of around 20 people? Only those three actually mean anything to him, the others are duty. About the only point in which he's certainly more successful than Makoto is that he gets laid, but again, that's something like 85% (17 of 20) duty for him. I kinda suspect he'd be much happier if he were allowed to just tag along with Makoto wherever.
It'd be nice if Furiae stops using her sleep magic to cockblock Makoto in the future whenever one of the other girls wants to sleep with him.
The author made us misunderstand the relationship between Furiae and Sakurai. Sakurai was just being nice to her, like he is to almost everyone. Furiae's gesture are all corrected to be alluring and seductive.
Nah i dont think he would be jealous because of the very fact he knows he is with so many already. Also think its a little unfair to be going the "raijuu explode" route as well. Granted the kid didnt fight it that hard, but he does a lot of political factions forcing women on him with intentions of making as many kids as possible.
He didn't love her....Why he would be jealous? He was just trying to be nice to her.
Probably nothing. At most, Sakurai will probably congratulate them. Sakurai left the task of opening Furiae's heart to Makoto because he knows that he can't make her happy. Sakurai and Makoto are best friends anyway. If their relationship break apart because of that, it would leave a bitter aftertaste.
Of course he gets cockblocked. But not so much as I think he will. Flex her to Sakurai, Makoto!
Thanks for the chapter,
Aahhhhhh yeahhhhh
Reading this chapter, makes think that this is chapter in the novel so wholesome. Feeling it deeply , why do feel that something bad will happen.
: )
Finally, she went and did it. Kind of lukewarm for a confession, though. So basically, he can't get away with anything around Lucy and Aya. Now, I believe Aya is number one wife andI don't care what anyone else says. The gigolo doesn't know if he'll survive the Demon King. Should have at least procreate or lost his V card. Thanks for the chapter, Reigokai.
“Last night must have been fun.” (Sofia)
“It is a misunderstanding!” (Makoto)
(Liar~.) (Eir)
(Lying is bad.) (Noah)
Eir-sama and Noah-sama retorted.
I pampered Princess Sofia a whole lot, and somehow managed to fix her mood.
Ahhh this line is so funny 😂😂. I can imagine.
Makoto pratically laid his hands on a new woman without the consent of the legal wife. Speaking of wife, Makoto is pratically one of the most influencial of the Western Continent. He will marry Furiae, so he will basically become the king of the new Moon Country. He will also marry in the Rozès royal family, the Walker household and the Valentine household (if the author plans to add Janet to his harem).
So much alcohol... (Rozès, Laphroaig, Johnny Walker, and Valentine are all alcohol brands)
Makoto with his magic water~ Good to notice that, buddy🍺
Talk about high variety brands 🤣wait what great sage. Well if he marries them then his political power is on par with the king of one kingdom ( well he has 2 kingdom as his wife) 🤣.
He probably will have a goddess or two(3?more?) added to the mix. Ira the lewd loli, Eir...if she can manifest not through Sofia, Noah obviously as main wife(she is Makoto's most important)
Many thanks!
Thank you for the chapter !
Thanks for the long awaited chapter!!
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter, and finally Furiae confessed.
Thank you very much for the chapter
Your early as always ehh😮😲
I have no life after all
