TLN: Heya guys, Reigokai here!
Just wanted to tell you guys that I will be moving the sponsored chapter to tomorrow. It will only be for this instance!
Anyways, enjoy the chapter!
◇Anna’s POV◇
I could only watch that strange spectacle absentminded.
What is that…?
The Demon Lord Castle wasn’t standing in a chasm but on a plain.
And yet, why is it that the city around the castle has been sunk in water, and the lower part of the Demon Lord Castle has been submerged…?
“Oh, everyone’s looking good!”
A light sound was made and a small girl appeared.
It is Momo-chan.
She has completely mastered Teleport.
“D-Did Makoto-kun do this?” (Julietta)
“Quite the amusing thing. This was done by the Spirit User-kun, right?” (Mel)
Momo-chan made a wide smile at the question of Julietta-san and the White Dragon-sama.
“It is amazing, isn’t it?! Master Makoto-sama made it look like a river had overflowed, and flooded the Demon Lord Castle! Thanks to that, the monsters of the city have evacuated, and more than half of the demon lord army have gone to fix the river issue.” (Momo)
“““……”””
We were at a loss for words at what Momo-chan said.
They are saying that they have managed to divide the demon lord army with just the two of them.
“‘Those who use water as their aid to attack are the stronger ones’…huh. I was questioning whether a water siege tactic would have an effect, but if the aim was to divide the enemy forces, then I can understand.” (Johnny)
Looks like only Johnny-san was able to calmly analyze the situation.
He is the only one that’s calm.
An expert in magic and a master of the blade.
Moreover, even siege warfare… Johnny-san is also a mysterious person.
“With this…” (Volkh)
I could tell Volkh-san’s voice had excitement in it.
I felt the same.
This time for sure…
“Wait! At the time when we came close to the Demon Lord Castle, we were assaulted by Demon Lord Cain… We must not lower our guard.” (Julietta)
I returned to my senses after Julietta-san said that.
Right, we were wiped out by that before.
That black armored Demon Lord is whimsical.
Who knows when he will appear in this situation.
“If that’s what you are worried about, then you don’t need to be.”
A voice resonated, and everyone turned there.
“Esther-sama?”
The Destiny Oracle that has come with us from Laberintos.
The White Dragon-sama objected saying ‘It is dangerous!’, but Esther-sama just said ‘There’s no problem’ and came along.
She said straight ‘Demon Lord Cain won’t be showing up’.
She apparently could tell with her Clairvoyance.
“Not only that. The Demon Lord Setekh is also absent. Of course, there’s other powerful Demon Lord underlings, but these two not being present is big, right?” (Esther)
“““Ooooh!”””
We cheered at those words.
W-Wow!
Is it really okay for things to go this smoothly?
“Uhm…is it really okay to state it that surely?” (Mel)
“W-What’s with that? Are you doubting me, White Dragon-chan?!” (Esther)
“N-No! That’s not it, but…the basics of Clairvoyance is that there’s no 100%, right? Ira-sama herself said this before…” (Mel)
I could hear the whispering talk of Esther-sama and the White Dragon-sama.
Esther-sama is also a mysterious personage.
The first time we met her was in the Moon Country’s capital.
And now she came to Laberintos.
This should be her second time meeting us…that should be the case, and yet, she is awfully close to Makoto-san.
“Well, just trust me. This information is certain…or more like, that person promised…” (Esther)
“Sorry, what was that last part?” (Mel)
I couldn’t hear a part of the low mutter from Esther-sama.
“N-Nothing! More importantly, where is Takatsuki Makoto?” (Esther)
True, I don’t see Makoto-san.
“I am here.”
“Wa?!” (Anna)
I almost fell on my butt from that.
Someone suddenly appeared by my side from inside the mist.
No, the mist turned into a person.
“Makoto-san! Please don’t scare me like that!” (Anna)
“Ah, sorry, Anna-san.” (Makoto)
That really gave me a fright.
Makoto-san laughed without a single shred of guilt.
He looks fine.
Even though it has only been a few days, I felt relieved seeing his face.
“That’s quite the peculiar spell you used there, Spirit User-kun. How did you do it?” (Mel)
“I used water magic to Transform my body into mist and moved like that. It isn’t on the level of the Teleport from Momo, but it is pretty useful.” (Makoto)
“You, that’s a movement method that vampires specialize in… There’s no need to use a spell like that, right?” (Esther)
The White Dragon-sama seemed deeply interested and Esther-sama looked baffled.
“I had nothing to do while we were waiting, so I had Momo teach me. Anyways, quite a lot came. Thank you for your cooperation, Johnny-san.” (Makoto)
“Don’t mind it. Everyone here has the will to fight the Demon Lord… We will charge at your word, Makoto-dono… We entrust our lives to you.” (Johnny)
The air around changes at the words of Johnny-san.
We nodded resolutely.
It is finally the fight against the demon lord army.
Tension runs around the place.
“Alright. There’s a lot to do before that… Julietta-san, do you have the thing I asked of you?” (Makoto)
“Uhm, Makoto-kun, is this good enough?” (Julietta)
Julietta-san gave Makoto-san something made out of wood.
That’s…a wooden mask?
“Ooh, looks cool. Thanks.” (Makoto)
“I think I could have made something better if I had a bit more time though…” (Julietta)
“It is plenty enough. As long as it hides my face.” (Makoto)
Makoto-san puts on the mask that’s carved into the shape of an animal.
“How is it, Momo, Dia?” (Makoto)
“Yes, looking cool, Master Makoto-sama!” (Momo)
“Aah…you look lovely, Our King.” (Dia)
The two responded in less than a second.
(Eeh…) (Anna)
I honestly see it as a bit weird.
He looks cooler without a mask…
Are Momo-chan and Dia-chan’s eyes clouded?
“Uwa, that’s lame. What’s with that, Takatsuki Makoto?” (Esther)
The unfettered voice was from Esther-sama.
Isn’t that saying too much…?
“Listen here, Ira-sama. We are going to be facing the Demon Lord Bifrons, you know? Then, wouldn’t it be bad if he were to see my face? This is me being considerate with you, Ira-sama.” (Makoto)
“I am Esther! …Ah, that’s true. If that’s the reason, it can’t be helped.” (Esther)
“Also, isn’t a fox mask cool?” (Makoto)
“I told you it is lame. Also, the ceremonies that use fox masks are for good harvest. That’s under the jurisdiction of Freya-oneesama.” (Esther)
“Aah, jealous, huh.” (Makoto)
“Wrong!” (Esther)
“Don’t kick me! I can see your panties!” (Makoto)
“If you are going to look, cough up cash!” (Esther)
“So unreasonable!” (Makoto)
Esther-sama and Makoto-san are flirting again…
What they were talking about is also something that only the two of them understood.
That’s not fair.
“So, you putting on that mask means…the time is now?” (Johnny)
Even Johnny-san was a bit shaken by this as he entered the conversation.
“No, that’s not it. I was thinking about reducing the numbers of the demon lord army a bit more… It is coming.” (Makoto)
“Spirit User-kun…you should learn to give a bit more detailed explanations…Hm?” (Mel)
The White Dragon-sama seems to have noticed something while she was talking and looked up.
A number of people were pulled by that and looked up.
And then, what was reflected in my eyes was…
—-A lump of ice the size of a big mountain that had pierced through the clouds had showed up.
“W-W-W-What is that, Makoto-san?!” (Anna)
“[Comet Fall]. A spell of Our King, Hero.” (Dia)
The one who answered my question while I was flustered was Dia-san.
S-Spell?!
This sight that’s as if the world is about to end is the spell of Makoto-san?!
It was as if the sky itself was falling.
“What an outrageous size… I have never seen a spell like this…” (Mel)
“Well, that’s no surprise, White Dragon-chan. Comet Fall is a large-scale slaughter spell that’s used for destroying cities. It is one of the spells that the Holy Gods have banned. It is an inhumane spell that turns a whole place into a naked plot of land… Takatsuki Makoto, we will be okay, right?” (Esther)
We were startled at the words of Esther-sama.
It is true that there’s distance between us and the Demon Lord Castle, but with that size, I feel like the shockwave of the destruction would reach all the way here.
“Well, just watch. It is far smaller than the one that was about to fall on the Fire Country. If it is on this size, I can control it.” (Makoto)
Saying this with a nonchalant tone, Makoto-san pushed his right arm out to the front.
“Transform.” (Makoto)
The moment Makoto-san muttered this.
*Pang*
The air turned heavy.
(I-I can’t…breathe!) (Anna)
Mana that held overpowering pressure to the point that it felt like my breathing would stop was gathering into the right arm of Makoto-san.
When I look around, I could see a number of the Laberintos fighters have fallen on their butts.
“[Spirit Arm].” (Makoto)
Makoto-san’s voice resonated and his whole right arm shone blue and transparent-like.
“You are turning your own arm into a spirit…?” (Mel)
“That’s also a banned technique, but…I will turn a blind-eye.” (Esther)
I somehow managed to hear only the voice of the White Dragon-sama and Esther-sama.
Mana was stagnating the air around like muddy water.
I am feeling dizzy…
I somehow manage to maintain my consciousness and not get mana dizzy as I look at what’s in front of my very eyes.
There’s currently a gigantic lump of ice that’s being called a comet, and it is about to crash.
The Demon Lord Castle is being crushed like an egg.
Not long after, the comet itself was breaking.
“The shockwave is coming! Brace yourselves!” (Johnny)
Everyone made their bodies smaller at the shout of Johnny-san.
I also follow suit.
“It is okay, Johnny-san. There’s no shockwave coming.” (Makoto)
Makoto-san laughed lightly and raised his blue shining arm up.
“Water Magic: [Flowing Stream].” (Makoto)
The next instant, the explosion of the comet spread into the sky.
““““Eh?””””
Everyone was dumbfounded by this except Esther-sama.
Even the White Dragon-sama and Johnny-san were dumbstruck.
A gigantic explosion that covered the whole sky.
The sky turned bright red and an explosive sound that could break eardrums roared.
My vision turned pure white, and soon stabilized.
I noticed that that was because my eyes were closed.
I take a deep breath and nervously open my eyes.
(Ah…) (Anna)
I was watching that sight as if I were in a dream.
The Demon Lord Castle has been crushed.
An out-of-place refreshing breeze was blowing.
The sky was clear.
This is my first time seeing the blue sky from the ground.
“Using the explosion shockwave of the comet to blow away the Pitch Black Clouds. Not a bad move.” (Esther)
Contrary to us who were shocked mute, Esther-sama spoke to Makoto-san with her arms crossed.
“It went well. By the way, what’s the forecast for the future, Ira-sama?” (Makoto)
I can’t tell the expression of Makoto-san because of the mask, but he seemed to be having a lot of fun.
“Don’t talk about it as if it were a weather forecast, Takatsuki Makoto. Hmm…looks like the Pitch Black Clouds have disappeared in a radius of several hundreds of kilometers. It will be more than half a day before they return to normal. Even I pity the Demon Lord here. His city was submerged, his castle was destroyed by a comet, and below the light of the sun that the undead hate the most, they will be attacked by Heroes.” (Esther)
Makoto-san and Esther-sama’s conversation came in one ear and out the other.
“Then, the preparations are over, so let’s go defeat the Demon Lord, Anna-san.” (Makoto)
“O-Okay…” (Anna)
I could only nod awkwardly.
…Aren’t you fine on your own, Makoto-san?
...Grrrrrr... The Divine Beast, Byakko, emitted faint purple lightning from its entire body. Each strand…
The Flying Arrow quest is simple. Touka, who was troubled because her family's ancestral spirit…
The northern slums. Though it’s called northern, it’s not much different from the slums of…
"Don't you want to Awaken, young lady?" Middle Sector. A place where people believe there…
"Nice, it looks like Sage made sure to get the guns I requested." (Lanpeach) Lanpeach…

Thank you very much for the chapter
*your
?
I was thinking in the margins of common sense.
How stupid can I be to think that Makoto of all people would follow a strategy with common sense in it.
Now I feel like I’m not even paying attention to the novel for not taking into consideration that Makoto is a bonafide madman.
@Simak, I love you definition of "not mad, but generally pretty happy"
Craziness is the gap between reality and mind. Makoto remakes reality.
Craziness is doing the same thing & expecting different results. Makoto does not do the expected or the same thing.
Not the madman. In fact he's pretty happy.
Jokes still on you, bonafide means you're licensed or allowed to do something, and Makoto has been just barely dodging that diagnosis, he's been playing the system all along.
Thank you for the chapter !
Moreover, even siege warfare… Johnny-san is also a mysterious person.
I suspecting that Johnny or one of his parents was a reincarnated japanese or something like that.
"“Uhm…is it really okay to state it that surely?” (Mel)
“W-What’s with that? Are you doubting me, White Dragon-chan?!” (Esther)
“N-No! That’s not it, but…the basics of Clairvoyance is that there’s no 100%, right? Ira-sama herself said this before…” (Mel)"
Ira-chan being a Ponkotsu is really cute.
"“Uwa, that’s lame. What’s with that, Takatsuki Makoto?” (Esther)"
Ira-chan doesn't hold back at all huh.
"This should be her second time meeting us…that should be the case, and yet, she is awfully close to Makoto-san."
Ira-chan is your greatest obstacle. She is probably the one who gets along with Makoto the most.
"“Don’t kick me! I can see your panties!” (Makoto)
“If you are going to look, cough up cash!” (Esther)
“So unreasonable!” (Makoto)
Esther-sama and Makoto-san are flirting again…"
Even Anna thinks that they are flirting... Also, Ira, are you saying that Makoto can look at your panties if he pays you ?
"“Then, the preparations are over, so let’s go defeat the Demon Lord, Anna-san.” (Makoto)
“O-Okay…” (Anna)
I could only nod awkwardly.
…Aren’t you fine on your own, Makoto-san? "
Overpowered. However, what about his lifespan ? Also, I understand why Bifrons was angry at him. He flooded and destroyed his castle after all.
Anyways, a comet ? Interesting.

Payment to see her panties huh, well she is the goddess of commerce after all and poor Mel's image of Ira is already crumbling before her eyes. That is a beautiful image good sir and I'm slightly ashamed I thought Makoto would stop at just submerging the castle in water
Ira was showing him her panties, remember how during her idol dance she copied Noah while dancing but never showing her panties?
That is of course if the author himself remembers that...
Comets are simply large swallows
Indeed. Tsubame Gaeshi !
If only comets were as beautiful as that, I might die happily. Too bad for the demons, it’s basically Apocalypse for them.
Thanks for the chapter~

Esther-sama and Makoto-san are flirting again…
My god every single time, they really had the nerve to flirting when going to face a demon lord. Their affection level already surpasses the other heroine. Good job Ira-chan
—-A lump of ice the size of a big mountain that had pierced through the clouds had showed up.
“W-W-W-What is that, Makoto-san?!” (Anna)
“[Comet Fall]. A spell of Our King, Hero.” (Dia)
Holy shit, from stoping comet to create a comet and made it drop. Our boy already become a transcended being now.
*just put a goddamn madara reference
https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-09-2015/BnO2P_.gif
Ira already take over the main heroine seat
Their flirting seems to be on a level of a certain mage with no common sense all because their grandpa wanted to see what that mage could do unrestrained.
Ira definitely should join the harem. Definitely
I like way Makoto just learns a vampire racial ability in his spare time.
"You should learn to give more detailed explanations" - My head voice for Mel has a British accent at this point.
I imagine Ira literally covering her eyes and doing the "see no evil" pose. It's amazing how well her and Makoto go together in such a short time however.
He basically is fine himself. Anna is like that special Mcguffin that is only needed to beat one boss and has no other use.
I think she is more of a Mercykill dagger. The one that bypasses Demonlord Existential resistance, to finish of the cockroaches while they are otherwise stuck at 1 hp and refuse to die. Even in mingled state. Remember how taboo monsters are unaffected by spells lower then Superior(Monarch for effective use in fact). Same here, but with Saint tier. Divine Tier for Iblis.
-----
But it makes me wonder, Sacrificial Spell by Eir should count as Saint or even Divine? 10th seat(angels) is still a seat, even if lowest.
Btw. In these dynamics of Makoto sacrificing Eir pretty much a constant stream of Highend souls, and probably quite a few Aide/DLs, won't the Present Water Country become an op existence? He is a big supporter(sponsor)
Makoto's past flirting can never be known by his future/current harem members. I wonder how'd they react to him unknowingly increasing it like the master gigilo he is.
Someone like Althena should just say :
Ira, Takatsuki Makoto, stop flirting already.
And I can hear both say in perfect sync: We're not!
Yorokobe Shounen !
Well, right now I'm Motivated!
Well....yeet
Thank you for the chapter.
When there's a dark twist and Makoto becomes a villain...
good bye isekai... lol
Makoto and Ira is striking me as a sibling type relationship. Makoto is starting to encroach on divinity. Their relationship feels a lot more like Noah and Althena.
A thought occurred to me. Why use the flood to draw the demon lord's subordinates away if he was going to drop a mountain on them? That first action served more to spare enemy casualties.
Well, the attack was targeted at the castle. It most likely wasn't a comet that could hit the whole city around the castle.
The shockwave that came after might have dealt damage, but Makoto instead took that shockwave and spread it to skies to clear up the clouds.
So yeah, the strongest aoe would have been the shockwave from the impact which he didn't utilize on the land but skies. Many monsters around the city might have survived, with them being resilient undead and all.
I'm not sure, but are Mel, Momo, and Anna in his party? I can't believe the goddess doesn't mind him seeing her panties. There would be a scandal on Olympus. Since her father has had relations on the planet, has any goddess ever made out with a human? Makoto could be the first to impregnate one. That would truly be something. Does his party member stats increase when he does stunts like that? Thanks for the chapter, Reigokai.
Tnx for the chapter!!
