WM – Chapter 259: Holy Maiden Anna is worried

TLN: Double Chapter today! Make sure you didn’t miss the previous one~.


◇Anna’s POV◇

“Yeah…that’s not balanced… There’s no way I can clear that… If you knew about that, please tell me, Ira-sama…” (Makoto)

Makoto-san was groaning on the bed.

It has already been 3 days since he came back.

He has been like that the whole time. 

…Who is Ira-sama? 

There’s no way it is the Goddess though.

“Master Makoto-sama…are you thirsty? Here, please drink some water.” (Momo)

“Yeah…thanks, Momo.” (Makoto)

Momo is gallantly having Makoto-san drink from the cup of water. 

Makoto-sama was letting himself go with it. 

“Fufufu♡, is it tasty? I will make lunch, okay?” (Momo)

“You are a great help, Momo.” (Makoto)

“It is okay~, Master Makoto-sama has been working really hard all the time after all~. Good boy, good boy.” (Momo)

Momo-chan was speaking kindly to Makoto-san as she brushed his hair. 

I could only see the picture of a useless man being spoiled by a woman…

Is this okay?

“What? Spirit User-kun is still like that?” (Mel)

I heard a voice from my back.

“White Dragon-sama.” (Anna)

“That’s the man that said he would be fighting the Demon Lord in half a year…? This is quite the pathetic sight.” (Mel)

“It is apparently because Makoto-san met something fearsome in the Deep Sea Temple…” (Anna)

“I know, but we need him to get back on his feet already.” (Mel)

Saying this, the White Dragon-sama approached Makoto-san and…kicked him?! 

Makoto-san falls down from the bed.

“Ouch.” (Makoto)

Makoto-san grumbles. 

It doesn’t look like it hurt that much.

“White Dragon Master! What are you doing?!” (Momo)

Momo-chan raised her voice in anger. 

“Argh, you weakling! Are you really the man that made me obey with sheer power?!” (Mel)

“…I will get up.” (Makoto)

Makoto-san stretched with a ‘hnnn~’ and got up from the bed.

His complexion had gone back to normal compared to 3 days ago.

“Uhm…Makoto-san, what in the world happened at the Deep Sea Temple?” (Anna)

I nervously ask. 

Actually, because of how down Makoto-san looked, I have not heard what happened in detail.

“Aah, about that…” (Makoto)

What Makoto-san spoke out was unbelievable. 

◇◇

“You…met the Divine Beast…Leviathan?” (Mel)

The White Dragon-sama opened her mouth wide in surprise to the point that it felt as if her jaw would drop. 

“Makoto-sama, was the Divine Beast such a fearsome opponent?” (Momo)

“Well, the Divine Beast was problematic, but the bigger problem was…” (Makoto)

“Was…?” (Momo)

“I am sorry…Our King…” (Dia)

The one who appeared at the side of Makoto-san was Dia-san.

Contrary to her usual proud stance, she was subdued today and she curled up slightly.

“There’s a…barrier that nullifies spirit magic…” (Makoto)

“Eh?! Then, what happened with Dia?” (Momo)

When Momo-chan asked, Dia-san hung her head down mortified.

“I can’t get close to it… That was created by the Sea God Neptus; a barrier that negates all Spirits… Damn it! Annoying Olympians! Once our lord is back…” (Dia)

“Okay, stop. Keep your mouth shut, Dia.” (Makoto)

Makoto-san covered the mouth of Dia-san looking slightly agitated there. 

The Sea God Neptus-sama is one of the high ranking Gods and the uncle of Althena-sama. 

That God placed a barrier to block Spirits…?

“Uhm…then, Dia was useless, so you gave up on the Deep Sea Temple?” (Momo)

Dia-san grabbed Momo-chan when she said that and went ‘What’s with this shrimp?!’.

“It is the truth!” (Momo)

Momo-chan bit on.

“Don’t fight, you two. I will continue challenging the Deep Sea Temple… I can’t think of a way to clear it though. Doing it without Spirit Magic is way too rough…” (Makoto)

Makoto-san heaves a heavy sigh.

His tone was the same as he usually is.

He might be returning to normal now.

At that moment…

“Wait wait wait wait wait!” (Mel)

The White Dragon-sama that had been frozen until now cut into the conversation.

“S-Spirit User-kun! Do you understand?! You are going against the Divine Beast Leviathan here, you know?! It was used in the mythological times, in the war of the Gods; an Interstellar War Weapon! There’s no way you would be able to match it!” (Mel)

Momo-chan and I were shocked by those words.

This is my first time hearing the words Interstellar War.

Is it the Divine Realm War that I have heard of in tales?

“I know about it. Ir—the Goddess-sama told me about it after all.” (Makoto)

Makoto-san said in a fed up voice.

“The power of the Divine Beast Leviathan can turn the whole world into an ocean with a flood…apparently. It is one of the 3 big fighting forces of the Divine Realm War. I wouldn’t think of doing a proper fight with it. I will have to deal with it in some way.” (Makoto)

“You think you can do it?! It is a mythological monster that has fought against Old Gods and even outside Gods! A Demon Lord doesn’t even begin to match it!” (Mel)

“Sadly to say, that’s my main objective… Well, I will try to not trouble you with that, Mel-san.” (Makoto)

“No, if you anger Leviathan, the world will perish… Just what in the world are you thinking…?” (Mel)

“It is okay. I won’t pick a fight with that.” (Makoto)

“That’s fine then…” (Mel)

I couldn’t keep up with the conversation of Makoto-san and the White Dragon-sama.

But what I understand is that Makoto-san hasn’t given up on his goal.

“Now then, let’s train. Momo, let’s go.” (Makoto)

“Eeh, let me spoil you a bit more. Here, I will give you a lap pillow~.” (Momo)

“I can’t afford to continue sleeping. I have slept a week’s worth already after all.” (Makoto)

“Aah, Master has returned to how he was.” (Momo)

“How were things while I was absent?” (Makoto)

“Fufufu, just watch. I have made great progress. It will surprise Master!” (Momo)

Makoto-san and Momo-chan left while talking. 

“Good grief…” (Mel)

The White Dragon-sama sat at a chair in the temple as if relieved.

She poured tea for herself and was relaxing. 

I was wondering what to do, and after a while, I decided to head to where Makoto-san and Momo-chan are training.

I could hear the voices of the two outside.

“Eh?” 

I was caught off guard by the sight of the two after coming out. 

“Clone magic! And then, Teleport!” (Momo)

The seven clones of Momo-chan were moving erratically or were using Teleport as they attacked Makoto-san. 

I can’t follow it with my eyes! 

Momo-chan, since when did you obtain a spell like that?! 

But what was impressive was what came after.

“[Water Prison].” (Makoto)

Makoto-san used magic without showing any signs of being flustered. 

The water restraining spell activated, and all seven Momo-chan’s were captured. 

“Gyaah! Everyone got captured at the same time?! Even though I definitely attacked him in his blind spot?! Why?!” (Momo)

“That attack just now was pretty good. I was shaken a bit there.” (Makoto)

“You are not looking like that at all!! How did you do it?!” (Momo)

“By using 360° perspective and Mind Accel. Also, my water activation speed is fast.” (Makoto)

“Muuuh, I thought I could surprise Master!” (Momo)

“I was.” (Makoto)

“You are not at all! You won’t be able to maintain that calm face! I will show you my ultimate technique!” (Momo)

“Challenge accepted. My Clear Mind doesn’t crumble even in the face of Gods.” (Makoto)

“Master got his heart crushed because he experienced something scary in his training at the sea and became a shut-in, so this will be easy!” (Momo)

“Don’t bring that out!” (Makoto)

Momo-chan shot a Thunderbolt while talking. 

That activation speed was so fast! 

“Naive, little girl.” (Dia)

The Great Water Spirit-san that appeared by the side of Makoto-san brushed the Thunderbolt away with her hand.

Thunderbolt is a superior ranked spell though?! 

And yet, she deflected it as if she were brushing away falling leaves?! 

Momo-chan then shot several varied spells at them one after the other. 

Makoto-san blocked them all with ease. 

Makoto-san was handling her as if he were having fun seeing the growth of his disciple. 

(E-Eh? …Momo-chan has become really strong?) (Anna)

It goes without saying with Makoto-san though.

The White Dragon-san also has outstanding magic and has the physical power of an Ancient Dragon.

C-Could it be that…I am the weakest in this party…?

(This wasn’t the time to be worrying about Makoto-san!) (Anna)

At this rate, I will become baggage! 

After that, I desperately trained my sword magic and healing magic.

“…Makoto-san, are you not going to go to sleep?” (Anna)

I speak to Makoto-san who continued training his water magic even when it was already late in the night. 

“I slept yesterday, so I am okay today.” (Makoto)

“…I-I see.” (Anna)

He is joking, right? 

It sounds like he is saying it seriously, and that’s scary. 

“Fuwaaah~…Our King, I will go sleep, okay~?” (Dia)

“Yeah, good night, Dia.” (Makoto)

Even though the Great Water Spirit is going to sleep?! 

Momo-chan went to sleep a long time ago. 

A vampire that sleeps early and is an early riser is questionable in itself though…

The White Dragon-sama leads a well regulated lifestyle, so the one who is leading the most inhuman lifestyle is Makoto-san. 

“Is your training going well, Abe—Anna-san?” (Makoto)

Being asked by Makoto-san, I groaned and had a hard time speaking. 

I worried about how to answer, and sat by the side of Makoto-san. 

“Anna-san?” (Makoto)

He called my name confused. 

I lean slightly on the shoulder of Makoto-san who is by my side.

“I am honestly on a roadblock…” (Anna)

I placed my head on Makoto-san’s shoulder and spoke my worries.

Is he not going to put a hand on my shoulder?, is what I thought, but he didn’t.

Makoto-san stopped doing magic training and looked at my face.

“According to what I heard from Mel-san, you can now activate Light Sword, right?” (Makoto)

“…Yes, but I can only use it for a few seconds.” (Anna)

I answered in a low voice.

The sword magic that was the only effective attack against Demon Lord Cain in Laberintos.

In an environment where the sunlight reaches, I can only maintain it for a few seconds to deal around 1 hit.

If I want to use it once more after that, it would take a while before it activates again.

Honestly speaking, I don’t think I can use it in actual combat. 

But it seems like Makoto-san thought differently.

“Plenty enough.” (Makoto)

He grinned as if he were plotting something evil.

“Enough?” (Anna)

I don’t understand what he means.

There’s no way sword magic that only lasts for a few seconds is useful.

“We will have Johnny-san do his best against the underlings of the Demon Lord, and for the confidants Setekh and Shuri…Mel-san and I will do something about them. The problem is the Demon Lord. I will have to borrow the help of Dia’s sisters, huh. My lifespan is gonna go down again…” (Makoto)

“Uhm, Makoto-san…?” (Anna)

“You just prepare to shoot your Light Sword, Anna-san. I will stop the movements of the Demon Lord so that he won’t be able to avoid it.” (Makoto)

“…”

Is he being serious here? 

When I was about to say ‘You are joking, right?’, I noticed.

His eyes were not joking around and he wasn’t worked up at all.

—As if saying something of that degree wasn’t a big deal.

I felt that when looking at the eyes of Makoto-san.

Just what in the world is this person…? 

He is different from everyone I have met before. 

In this world that’s ruled by Demon Lords, it felt as if only Makoto-san was looking at a different world.

*Thump*

I could feel my heart throb. 

I have been thinking about Makoto-san at the time he wasn’t here.

Since the time he returned, my eyes have been following him all the time.

When my master the Fire Hero died, I would always cry in my sleep.

But I haven’t been crying lately. 

When I think of Makoto-san, I feel myself calming down.

I have been denying it being teased by Momo-chan.

But it looks like it is impossible to keep lying…

(When we defeat the Demon Lord…my feelings… But…) (Anna)

Right now I should concentrate on my duties.

Master the sword magic, Light Sword, that only I can use. 

And then, I will fulfill the dearest wish of my mentor and parent figure, the Fire Hero, that is defeating the Demon Lord, and bring this continent back to the hands of humans. 

That’s why, when that’s done…I will tell Makoto-san my feelings.

◇◇

Half a year after.

Momo-chan and I trained as much as possible.

I had the White Dragon-sama teach me magic; for the sword, I remembered the teachings of the Fire Hero; and in between those, I would pray to the Sun Goddess.

Momo-chan gained more and more strength.

Makoto-san would accompany the training of Momo-chan, would hear me out, and would go to the Deep Sea Temple every now and then.

And so, time passed…and the day for the decisive battle against the Demon Lord came.

  1. Bruh I was getting very bored of this training arc and thought no way they are gonna do half a year at this pace but luckily it wasn’t

    1. Agreed! This is really disappointing! I wanted more training scenes and character development and instead we get a one sentence summation?
      It’s like saying Harry Potter went to Hogwarts for four years and left early as a pretty decent wizard…
      Completely glossing over some of the biggest events. Yayaya~ ( ◞‸◟`)

  2. I hope Anna goes with him to the future, otherwise it is so sad for her, the history keeps on changing so it would not matter if Anna and Abel both disappear right???

  3. thanks for chap
    wow so its the latter of my guess.

    i really wonder how anna will react to cain,especially after the amazing flag she just set up

    1. oh yeah ,if mc is in this state then the slightly cowardly cain……………is still alive right?

  4. Aww mann, I catch up.
    it’s kinda giving me a thorn about the romance development, but when reaching Chapter-100 or so, i notice that this Novel is indeed a slow paced one. and seeing that Tsukimichi need 300+ chapter for Shcex i’m not surprised if WM will also need more than 300 chapter before MC losing his V card.

  5. I wonder if Makoto will ask someone in the future to erase the memories of him to Anna and other people he met just to maintain the balance of the events.
    And then, Abel will travel all over the world just to find that missing person in his memories.
    Wait, is this one of the unrequited love moments? Oh my god, how naughty you are, Makoto.

  6. Really? So he thinks he can actually figure out a way to deal with Leviathan, it’s just this anti-spirit-magic barrier he’s worried about? The divine beast that can drown the world? He’ll just figure something out? His mentality is ridiculous. Though I admit, Jupiter is piece of crap. Declaring that Noa can only be released if a mortal worshipper of Noa reaches her prison and frees her, then makes sure that it’s impossible for anyone below a god to succeed? Heck even a god might struggle. Just to wear her down until despair drives her to accept his proposal? Son of a bitch. Someone needs to beat his ass. Preferably Makoto.
    On the plus side, Anna seems to have realised her feelings. Though how Makoto reacts is concerning when he still has trouble not calling her Abel when she’s female. Even so, dense much? She leaned on him and rested her head on his shoulder and he didn’t think anything? Is he just thinking that they’re good friends now? Geez!
    Well, training montage is over. It’s demon lord time! The sooner they take them out, the sooner they faced Iblis and Makoto can start thinking of how he’ll get back.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  7. Thanks for the chapter~!

    Momo is showing signs of her “present” personality. She’s so cute when she tries to spoil Makoto.

    The dungeon got a spirit barrier! I wonder what’ll Makoto do. Perhaps seeking another source of power? Since this might also works to his advantage, that is to be as strong as spirit king but still skirting off the punishment

    Now we got another fact: Leviathan is at least as strong as the spirit king since it’s also considered a weapon. Seems like the fight won’t a head-on collision.

    Anna finally fell. Hope she won’t get heartbroken in the middle of their quest.

    We’re finally going to fight the demon king. Will they also be a pushover like Zagan Jr? Tho I don’t think they’re that much weaker, just the attack is 4x STAB

  8. Looks like Momo is starting to become the snarky person we know and love. She calls Dia useless then she reminds Makoto how he failed and got his heart crushed when he starts boasting about his Clear Mind never crumbling. Still though looks like she enjoyed being dere and taking care of Makoto.

    Mel ain’t having none of his shit though. Just kicks him out of bed so he can stop moping.

    And of course he wouldn’t succeed in conquering the dungeon. He kept getting told time and time again by different people that Leviathan and all Divine Beasts are stronger than Iblis. Iblis is the last boss so clearly Leviathan and the Deep Sea Temple are post-final boss content and thus would be way too hard to try to beat beforehand.

    Anyways so there’s a barrier that blocks Spirits. Wonder how he’s gonna get past that? Does he need a Quest Item from another quest like Iblis’ magic stone or something to break or disable the barrier? Or does he need to actually reach 1000 proficiency in water magic? Also on another note, shouldn’t the god’s name be ‘Neptune’ instead of ‘Neptus’?

    Dammit Anna. Just confess to Makoto now already. Don’t go trying to set up a death flag by saying once this is all over, that you’ll confess to him then.

    Welp time skip and now they will finally face Bifrons.

    1. I think it’s someone similar to emerald weapon in FF7, where you need to get the item that lets you breathe underwater. In this case, Makoto don’t need such an item but it would be similar to an rpg game like FF7 where you need a special item to fight the optional boss (that is harder than the last boss).

  9. Wait, half a year? Just like that? ….Ah well. Looks like things are going well.

    Momo is becoming quite amazing. In many senses.
    Anna is hanging in there, I guess.

    He still reattempted the Leviathan several times, huh? Wonder how Cain managed. The Great Demon Lord is just an afterthought at this point.
    Flooding the world isn’t much a problem when water is his friend though. Even in a case where he can’t directly attack, water won’t hurt him. We’re looking for some kind of bypass strategy here…

  10. Thanks for the double release. Looks like the Deep Sea Temple expedition was a failure after all. There’s no way Noah would be freed so soon after all. I wonder what happened to Cain though. Did Makoto feed him to Leviathan?

  11. So his hopes and dreama got crushed in the Water Temple, just like the hopes and dreams of many children that played ToL Zelda OoT… Author-san, are you maybe letting your frustrations out on our dear Airheaded Gigolo?
    Welp, Makoto saying that the Divine Beast Leviathan is just “problematic” was a given, he won’t be broken that fast.

    Sassy Momo, best Momo.

    Mel kicking Makoto for being down after literally fighting the Interstellar Weapon of Doom 3 days one after the other was funny. You go and try to go up against it, and tell me how it went.

    I really thought that Ana would push Makoto down in this chapter… But I have a feeling that Momo would interfere if that happened. Lucy and Sa-san dynamic is strong with these two.

    Poor Ira-chan, sorry but I couldn’t stop laughing after that sentence of Ana about you not being a Goddess xD

    There was a lot to unload in these two chapters, but my comrades in the comments section have already told everything that I would say… Curse my Time Zone for being literally midnight when the chapter comes out. *Shakes fist*

    Thank you very much for the double release Reigokai!

    I need to rescind my previous comment about Tsuki, it looks like the Author’s making your job pointlessly more difficult by making the sentences as complex as humanly possible.
    I am currently at chapter 63, and the quality has been only going up, and there have been no repeats of the one chapter that really got me complaining about the translation.

    With that said, I thank you once again for your work. I really wonder what the future chapters have in store for us.

  12. Thanks for the chapter.
    finally, the fight against the demon lords start.
    I wonder what is the water proficiency of makoto…

  13. Yo that Leviathan is probably an undefeatable Boss. Need to think of some ways to circumvent fighting it… It would be a bad joke if Makoto fight it and it somehow decides to switch the proportion of land vs water in that isekai.

  14. I was asleep and so, that’s why I’m late today. Thanks for both chapters.Nine to ten year old vampires are cute, Momo just get stronger and your affection points go through the roof. If Momo is a half vampire is she legal or illegal?

  15. Man, the time progress in these recent chaps are so Fing fast xD not that I mind it tho, as always, thanks for the translations.

  16. “Challenge accepted. My Clear Mind doesn’t crumble even in the face of Gods.” (Makoto)

    “Master got his heart crushed because he experienced something scary in his training at the sea and became a shut-in, so this will be easy!” (Momo)

    – Momo! Shhh! Shhh! Men’s hearts are delicate, don’t just drive the nail in.

  17. Since the barrier forbids spirit magic that means that makoto will develop a new power in the future, I wonder what it will be, makoto is always doing the unexpected so it will surely not be regular magic

  18. Makoto: i must do something about the Leviathan.

    Me: oh no… why do I feel like another harem candidate will appear…

    Like look:
    Leviathan: mythical water dragon/monster/unaging
    Looks like Makoto can woo “her” with his butterflies and what not.

  19. So spirits is no, then is really needed that Makoto obtain a power aside from spirits, that or somehow increase the power to a point in which can overcome the barrier, though don’t know if that’s possible with just raw power instead of a special “skill/ability” like something in the Authority level.

  20. Thanks for the chapter.
    So if Levithan belong to holy Gods, do that means that behemoth (Divine land Beast, ancestor of Zagan father and son) was also to them at the start ?

  21. Thank you kami-sama. Thank you donator sngels.

    Guess he needs level 1000 to break it. Still wonfering if Annabel will follow him to the future. Hoping the author works hard do we don’t catch up.

    1. he will most likely go to the future with Makoto.
      Since the sun oracle did mention that Abel disappeared somewhere without leaving a heir after defeating the demon lord.

      1. But supposedly Anna did leave an heir and Noel’s family are the descendants. Well I suppose that could be a lie which will be how it turns out most likely.

  22. Thanks for the chapter!

    So about the barrier… would the dagger Makato got from Noah-sama be able to cut through it? I mean it cut through a string of fate, so I think it should be able to cut through a barrier that prevents spirit magic?

    1. considering Noah had the dagger from the start and made Cain’s sword but didn’t recommend that, probably not.

    2. It might be the sort of thing that “cutting” it doesn’t apply. Remember the barrier Sakurai was trapped in? Makoto simply passed through it. The dagger did nothing. The anti-spirit barrier might be like that for Makoto, but Dia couldn’t pass through. I’d guess it is more like the barrier forms a border and everything inside it blocks spirit magic.

      So I think, it can’t be that easy. Maybe if later Makoto can learn something like barrier magic. But I’m sure even then, a barrier made by a powerful god can’t be easy to destroy. Probably he’d need to poor in considerable mana into his dagger, over time or something. I’m sure the story will have to revisit this at some point. This is really an end-story sort of plot line I’d think.

  23. Moon goddess wa said an outsider goddess in this world. Perhaps, because of the insterstellar war, the another moon was bought by the gravity waves to this planet including the managing goddess. It makes sense that ira-chan cannot see the destiny of furi-san because they were not like a housemate. So when makoto goes out to outer space,i think he will seenhow mess up the solar system because of the war and both gods camp are mixed heavily in this solar system

  24. Makoto is a water sword. Anna is a light sword. Both of them are sword. So no deal. Friendzone only ok?…

  25. Hmm.. scratch the ice coffin thing i mentioned before.. i think Makoto gonna challenge that Deep Sea Temple for 1000 years after earning enough life span using the dagger.

    Thanks for the chapter

  26. Lol. Anna good luck, better wish that makoto will not reply to you “sorry i dont swing like that dude”

    What’s with the game breaking barrier the gods put Leviathan.

    I wonder if makoto finish this big quest of gods, Noah will have a leeway, atleast make makoto visit in person. Even a high profile inmate deserves to be visit.

    Thanks for the update

    1. It isn’t a matter of “swinging that way” if she remains as Anna. Anna is also the default anyhow, which she switches back to when she can’t maintain being Abel. But that aside, see I’m thinking Makoto’s harem is pretty big and that’s a lot of ladies to keep happy. A good problem to have, but still a problem.

      Makoto is gonna need a massive bed. Now everyone simply watching Makoto + whomever while waiting doesn’t seem quite ideal. Plus you gotta worry about stamina running out. Some degree of polyamory (such as between Aya and Lucy) is involved. But I was thinking that Anna can at times become Abel to be a “relief pitcher”, if you know what I mean? 😛 Then back to Anna mode when directly with Makoto. Also multiple couplings at once should keep things more… interesting. If you imagine such a scene.

      Well that’s the way I see it anyhow.

  27. Thank you for the chapter ;D
    Hmmmmm
    I wonder if he re-fused the water spirits into their original form they could break that barrier…..
    And eh, makes sense. If he freed her now that paradox would be….
    A little too big for the universe to autocorrect

  28. Wow no wonder everyone told him to give up on the temple goddesses included, he legitimately cant do a single thing about it. We also saw some keywords here, interstellar war and outer gods, please tell me all of them arnt children of Jupiter the damn horn dog.

    1. The outer gods if we take the rest of these gods into account, probably from the Greek mythos, are the gods of chaos. The originals. So Nyx goddess of night, the fates and chaos himself

    2. outer gods is probably old gods and titans, or other pantheon

      seeing Noah is like Cthulhu a lot, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got more gods

    3. I’m thinking “outer gods” are gods who manage other worlds. Possibly from other mythos too. But I think “outer” would refer to them not being gods of that world.

  29. “Yeah…that’s not balanced… There’s no way I can clear that… If you knew about that, please tell me, Ira-sama…” (Makoto)

    LOL he’s acting like a gamer who complaining about the unfairness in the game difficulty that was set by the Game Master

    …Who is Ira-sama?
    There’s no way it is the Goddess though.

    Shit! HAHAHAHAHAAHA I CANT STOP LAUGHING IN THIS SENTENCE. POOR IRA-CHAN. She doesn’t get recognized as a goddess by humans.(Well Press F for Ira)

    “Well, the Divine Beast was problematic, but the bigger problem was…” (Makoto)
    “There’s a…barrier that nullifies spirit magic…” (Makoto)
    “Eh?! Then, what happened with Dia?” (Momo)
    “I can’t get close to it… That was created by the Sea God Neptus; a barrier that negates all Spirits… Damn it! Annoying Olympians! Once our lord is back…” (Dia)

    Hmm this is problematic tho, so how the hell he’s gonna clear it. I know that the reason why they placed spirit barrier also for noah couldnt use the spirit to help her but still. Well maybe there’s a catch for it? or maybe makoto could negotiate with the holy gods to remove the barrier for a set of time? Now i’m Interested!

    “S-Spirit User-kun! Do you understand?! You are going against the Divine Beast Leviathan here, you know?! It was used in the mythological times, in the war of the Gods; an Interstellar War Weapon! There’s no way you would be able to match it!” (Mel)

    Apparently, this guy is also an outrageous being that almost impossible to defeat other than the Great Demonlord.

    Also, i want momo/great sage to keep calling him “Master Makoto-sama” when he gets back to the present. It’ll be hilarious (i could see the sight of carnage)

    1. Imaginary Scenario:
      ” “Momo-chan, no I mean Great-Sage-sama, I successfully saved the world.” (Makoto)
      “Momo.” (Momo)
      “Eh?! ” (Makoto)
      “Call me Momo. I won’t accept anything else, Master Makoto-sama.” (Momo)
      “Yes… Momo. ” (Makoto)
      I gave a headpat to Momo and she hugged me.
      “When did you get close to the Great Sage-sama ? And you are calling her by her name !?Rather, her name is Momo ? What is your relationship with her !” (Sofia)
      Sofia was speaking as if representing everyone. Lucy, Sa-san, Sofia and Furiae-san were giving cold eyes.
      I felt a scene of carnage was imminent.
      I braced myself and tried to explain it to them to the best of my abilities.”

      1. I’m kinda hoping for this right after:
        This looks bad. God help me.

        “Makoto! We did it!” (Ira)

        Ira, what a reliable goddess.

        *Glomp*

        “…” (Everyone)

        “Why is the Destiny Oracle here and since when did you two get so close?” (Aya)

        The air became even colder…

      2. im honisly hopeing for this or something close enogh to it when he hopes in the doloren& gose back to the future

    2. Dia said something about “when my king returns”. I’m guessing if Makoto went full Spirit King mode, he could forcefully break it, but he already promised he wouldn’t use it again, and the goddesses would definitely kill him again as soon as he activates that mode.

      1. Hum… she said “our lord”, but if it’s Makoto she is talking about… well, not sure the goddesses can actually see him right now, because of the clouds and the rest. The real problem is the soul seal and also, if they don’t kill “that”, I’m not even sure he could snap out of it by himself

        1. Maybe he will stab himself to get rid of the seal? Idk it seems plausible although it’s “soul” and we don’t know where that is but there may come a time where Makoto will transform back to a Spirit King.

    1. That shows exactly how mentally depleted he was being helpless because of the anti-spirit magic barrier. He no doubt had his heart set on liberating Noah-sama, and for that matter just seeing her again. But he got denied so close to his goal.

      I mean he finally arrived and saw the Water Temple with his own eyes. He was in the age where spirits are even stronger (because the holy gods are weaker) while having a named great water spirit Dia at his side, and Demon Lord Cain as backup. Water proficiency 999+ (perhaps it simply won’t show higher). He got some new gear from Ira. Everything was going well for Makoto. This should have been the moment he’s been waiting for. Everything became useless in front of that barrier. So close and yet everything fell apart.

      I would imagine for a while after that happened, Makoto likely became enraged (beyond the limits of calm mind) and rather scary. Then once he calmed down became the way they found him.

  30. Thanks for the chapter!

    Half a year passed? Man this won’t end real soon, i’m sure.
    And Makoto, you are increasing affection poin with Momo quite too much! Spend some for Anna-san too, she’s getting lonely there xd

    Okay so the final boss for Makoto is even stronger than the Great Demon Lord? Well, i can’t see the story is getting there anytime soon either. I would like to know what would Makoto do after he beat the Great Demon Lord.

    1. As dense as Makoto usually is, I don’t think he knows that Anna has got the hots for him lol. Unless Anna pushes him down and tells him directly, he may never know.

      Speaking of the GDL, Makoto will prolly just one-shot him anyway 🤣🤣. Leviathan tho… only strong because of the spirit barrier (I guess).

      1. Leviathan is like really strong, spirit Kings are the old God’s weapons and Leviathan and the other 2 are the Olympian’s weapons.

    2. It’s actually not enough yet. Remember the “great sage” would always straddle him when she fed. They aren’t there yet.

    1. We don’t really know if/how he can return to the present. That was never clear when this whole arc started, and they even hinted that he potentially could not return. Of course, he will be able to return since this is that kind of story, but I doubt his return will be straightforward and without complications.

      1. I think it’s likely they will skip time travel since they already told him it won’t work. That doesn’t mean he won’t get back though.

        Didn’t he get like 100 years of lifespan using the sacrificial technique? I vaguely remember something about humans not being able to exceed their race limit in regards to lifespan. But Makoto isn’t really entirely human after his little Spirit King transformation incident. Meaning sacrificing the Iblis might give him the lifespan he needs.

        The other thing is him going for Noah, if he enters the space she is sealed in, how will that affect time for him? And how will it affect him if she is free?

        Lastly there is Noel, ever since that party at her family’s castle I have felt that she seemed more interested in Makoto then Sakurai, and seeing as how Anna is constantly compared to her and Anna’s subsequent disappearance after the original defeat of Iblis I belive Noel = Anna either through something similar to the Sage (long life, she IS a Heaven Winged Folk, what is their lifespan like?) or through reincarnation.

      1. Thanks for the chapter reigokai San….

        Woah, I cann’t imagine how cute momo if she give makoto some lap pillow….😂

    1. ““Fufufu♡, is it tasty? I will make lunch, okay?” (Momo)
      “You are a great help, Momo.” (Makoto)
      “It is okay~, Master Makoto-sama has been working really hard all the time after all~. Good boy, good boy.” (Momo)
      Momo-chan was speaking kindly to Makoto-san as she brushed his hair.
      I could only see the picture of a useless man being spoiled by a woman…
      Is this okay?”
      Momo is spoiling Makoto ? We need an illustration !

      ““I can’t get close to it… That was created by the Sea God Neptus; a barrier that negates all Spirits… Damn it! Annoying Olympians! Once our lord is back…” (Dia)”
      So Makoto couldn’t do anything at all, huh. Without Spirits, he is useless.

      ““Master got his heart crushed because he experienced something scary in his training at the sea and became a shut-in, so this will be easy!” (Momo)
      “Don’t bring that out!” (Makoto)”
      LMAO ! What a sharp reply, Momo !

      “*Thump*
      I could feel my heart throb.
      I have been thinking about Makoto-san at the time he wasn’t here.
      Since the time he returned, my eyes have been following him all the time.
      When my master the Fire Hero died, I would always cry in my sleep.
      But I haven’t been crying lately.
      When I think of Makoto-san, I feel myself calming down.
      I have been denying it being teased by Momo-chan.
      But it looks like it is impossible to keep lying…
      That’s why, when that’s done…I will tell Makoto-san my feelings.”
      So she fell, huh. An angel fell for you , Makoto ! Push her down !

      Imaginary Scenario:
      ““Do you remember the day when you told me your worries about the battle against Bifrons ? ” (Makoto)
      “Of course, it was the day I realized that I love you .” (Anna)
      Makoto suddendly felt his heart racing.”

      1. You know, there is a wholesome thing out there, about Senko-san. Exactly how I imagined this moment. A loli(legal?) spoiling, or more like comforting, a very tiked adult man

      2. Imaginary Scenario:
        ““Do you remember the day when you told me your worries about the battle against Bifrons ? ” (Makoto)
        “Of course, it was the day I realized that I love you .” (Anna)
        “I’m engaged to my childhood friend, Johnny’s great great granddaughter, and the princess of a nation…”” (Makoto)
        *Confusion Intensifies!*

      3. He’ll probably deal with that barrier like he did with the one around Sakurai, OVERWHELMING FORCE, and if that doesn’t work, poke it with his powered up dagger.
        …I wonder if you can sacrifice a barrier created by a high order god, to another god?

        1. ….tame Levia-tan. Couse why not.
          Undine did fall for him. And I’m intrigued by Tsui’s species mystery

          1. Probably do it the same way as Dia then, just reach out and take a fin for a synchro, the Leviathan gets magic orgasms, Makoto takes down the barrier, gaining entry to the temple, and hopefully only the Demon continent gets caught in the backlash, everyone wins.

      4. Watch, Mokoto will turn out to be the ancestor of the Light country’s royal family. Or Anna will accompany Mokoto back to the future. Then Mel will turn up with several dark haired dragons and demand that Mokoto take responsibility. And finally the Great Sage will claim her rightful place as best girl and (try to) lock Mokoto in the White Tower where she’ll pamper him for all eternity.

        Or until Ira-sama comes to break him out.
