Tsuki – Chapter 411: Chaotic Reception Room (Forest)

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

I am happy that the business meetings ended quickly and there’s breathing space in between the schedule. 

If the next person has also fortunately come early, it would be even better, but I personally like how free time that can be filled is made. 

Being pressed for the next, next, and next, is personally the worst feeling for me, as if desperately trying to swim up to get my nose and mouth out of the water.

It is a smoldering feeling, yeah.

So I say, but it is not like I have the style of running around aggressively as if hunting prey. 

I am the type that immediately hunts the prey that enters my shooting range while I am calmly sitting down.

That style fits me the most. 

The meeting with Muzo-san ended sooner than scheduled, and next was Rembrandt-san. 

He is a person I am grateful towards since he always introduces me to companies and would speak about business opportunities. 

Even though he should be far busier than me, he still makes time to meet me. Rather than calling him a business partner, he is more like a guardian. 

He is an ideal business discussion partner that doesn’t make me nervous and doesn’t create a thorny atmosphere while not taking that much time, so I really have nothing but gratitude towards him.

β€œExcuse me… Rembra—hm?” (Makoto)

When I opened the door, a thick scent hit my nose. 

Quite the strong scent of perfume. 

Moreover, several different types.

While having a bad feeling about this, I confirm the presence of the person that should be diagonally right considering the composition of this room.

β€œ*Oku-sama*?! And…?” (Makoto) <TLN: The wife of someone.>

It may be a Rembrandt, but it is not Patrick-san, it is Lisa-san.

If I remember correctly, the one coming here today should be the P one of the Rembrandt-sans though.

In the first place, I have close to no business discussions directly with his wife. 

Moreover, she isn’t alone.

What’s with those…attractive mature ladies (?) that are filling up the whole sofa.

The amount of women is astounding.

8. There’s as many as 8 excluding Lisa-san.

And I don’t know a single face here. 

What’s with this situation? 

In the first place, this is a room for business meetings of around 5-6 people, so having 8 ladies in dresses here was making the air in this place crazy. No, it is like this room can’t keep up with the florid atmosphere.

My eyes and nose are in a pretty bad state right now too.

What’s this?! 

β€œSorry, Raidou-sama. I had something to talk with you about, so I have switched with my husband. But everyone here I met coincidentally wanted to meet you once, so it ended up being a big group… It really was a bother?” (Lisa)

Just for the record, it is not like Rembrandt-san and I do anything dirty or discuss anything that is hard to say out loud. 

I swear on the name of anything you want that that’s not the case! 

In the first place, that person is madly in love with his wife and daughters, so there’s no way he would cheat on her. 

If I were to be asked if it is a pain, I would immediately state it is a pain though.

But well, even if she asked me that, there’s only one answer here. 

β€œNo way. Me being left wide-eyed by my plans being a bit different is just my inexperience showing. Everyone, please forgive my lack of manners. I am the representative of the Kuzunoha Company, name’s Raidou.” (Makoto)

I stand at the front of Lisa-san with a table in between, bow, and give my greetings.

Seriously, what are they thinking? Just as they say, it is a bother. 

But there’s no way I would speak out my true feelings even if they were to try and squeeze it out from me.

I have known Lisa-san since the ghoul time, but lately she has been overflowing with energy as if she had rejuvenated, and has been really lively. 

Her skin seems to have more moisture and looks really smooth. I can say for sure that there’s no man who would use her age as an excuse to not see her as a woman. 

As for the women around, I honestly would say they are older, around their middle-ages, compared to Oku-sama.

However, I can tell at a glance that they are people that pursue beauty in a variety of different directions and are very particular about beauty. 

Then, the correct answer here is…yeah…

β€œFufu, there’s no need to force yourself, you know. I am not here to have a delicate conversation that would require such formality. Right, everyone?” (Lisa)

Everyone agreed with her and directed smiles at me. 

After Lisa-san finished a simple introduction, I got introductions individually. 

2 wives of former adventurers, 4 who are wives of close-aides or representatives of companies, and 2 wives of Limia nobles. 

6 are residents of Tsige, and the other 2 are apparently in the middle of their trip in Tsige where they have friends. 

…This is bad. I can somehow match their names and faces, but I don’t have the confidence of remembering them as the talk lengthens. 

Judging from how the introductions went, Oku-sama is most likely the top of this gathering. 

In the past and even present, the Rembrandt Company has been an existence that shows its power to the surroundings, and Lisa-san herself isn’t incompetent either. 

It is not like I have had chances to see that personally though.

Seeing how Rembrandt-san and Morris-san are, there’s no doubt she is also one incredible person as well.

Ah, but there’s the chance she is purposely staying at the number 2 spot!

β€œNo, I was surprised. I didn’t expect so many extravagant and gorgeous people would be visiting me today. Was today a day to warm up your old friendships of the same age? I am overjoyed to be blessed with this fortune. Hahaha…” (Makoto)

I want to leave already. 

I want to throw this onto someone else without listening to what they have to say, and leave.

Also, Mio isn’t coming.

In other words, she has perceived instinctively that this gathering won’t be assaulting me or anything of the sort. 

Even though it would have relaxed me more if there were at least one girl by my side. 

β€œReally?! There may be slight differences in ages, but we are all great friends of around the same age. And so…you see…about that matter that Raidou-sama told me secretly before, I tried telling everyone here as well. Of course, everyone here understands the meaning and importance of secrets, so please don’t worry.” (Lisa)

…T-That’s a relief. 

Looks like it was the right answer to say they are of the same age. 

Who knows what would have happened if I had carelessly said she was having a gathering with her seniors. 

Just thinking about it is giving me shivers. 

But…secretly? 

To housewives? 

Have I told her something that requires that much secrecy? 

Or more like, a gathering of women that have nobles and company presidents as husbands; that doesn’t sound like a combination that I would say secrets are safe with.

But if Oku-sama says so, there should be no problems, I guess.

The meaning and worth of secrets…huh.

I then noticed the gaze of Oku-sama, and she caressed her cheek with her right hand elegantly. 

What? Skin?

…

…!!

Ah, about that!!

β€œCould it be you are talking about the health preservation facility of this company, Lisa-sama?” (Makoto)

What’s with all this noise? 

These 8 samurais…no, these 8 housewives were showing unrest.

β€œYeah, that matter that I…requested of my husband even if it was difficult to do.” (Lisa)

…

Could it be that the details she gave them are slightly different? 

I should play safe here and match what Oku-sama says here.

This is a bit of an aside, but the mood of Oku-sama changes quite a lot depending on if she has 1 trip to the hot spring resort in that week, or 2 trips in that week.

It isn’t once or twice that Rembrandt-san has tried to imply he wants to increase the amount of visits. 

It is pretty hard to get full-time employees there, so it was difficult to tell him he could go anytime he wishes, and Lisa-san also has her standing as the wife of the Rembrandt Company’s representative. 

That’s why there hasn’t been any aggressive pushes until now. 

But there’s now full-time employees there. 

Shima-san who was the bishop at the church of Rotsgard.

She has been devoting herself to her studies about hot springs while studying about her specialization as well. New make-up products are being produced one after the other by her. 

…

Aah, I remembered another complicated matter.

Beauty is something that the women of Asora as well as a number of men pursue quite intensely. 

Their interest and passion for make-up products goes without saying.

But, right now, the only specialist is Shima-san, and she is a hyuman. 

Her knowledge for make-up products that work on other races is practically nonexistent. 

And so, recently there has been a disparity between demi-humans who are close in appearance to hyumans, and the ones that are not. 

When it comes to the patterns of scales, the gloss of wings, horns and fangs…there’s no choice but to have their respective races study about it. 

We had Shima-san teach them the basic knowledge, and as of present, there’s a number of women from varied races with an objective of producing make-up that have begun to turn into full-time employees.

I personally want it to take shape as soon as possible. 

But when it comes to the difference between the ones for hyuman use…

It is an industry that has had their research history. 

It probably won’t be a matter where each part will compliment the other.

By the way, this is technically the creation of a new thing, but when I spoke about this matter to the eldwas, they just let out dry laughs. 

Apparently two housewives in each gathering of dwarves were regulars of the hot spring resort. 

β€œMy apologies for the late report, Lisa-sama. We have finally secured full-time employees, so that facility has now become somewhat able to have shifts to function properly… But well, it was originally an internal company facility, so this might be a strange thing to report, but it seems like you have truly taken a liking to it, so…” (Makoto)

Slightly intimate, with the feeling as if I am speaking to a VIP customer. 

It will most likely go smoother here if I give face to Lisa-san.

If I remember correctly, Lisa-san obtained permission to invite others.

If she is going to advertise us in order to increase our worth, then it is only natural to give back as well.

β€œ! Really?!” (Lisa)

β€œY-Yes. We have gotten a good connection with a person that has knowledge in make-up.” (Makoto)

Oku-sama gave more of a reaction than I thought.

When I made a light introduction of Shima-san to the other housewives, shock ran.

β€œThen…is it possible to increase the number of times we can go?” (Lisa)

β€œYes, but this is a special case, so if there’s anyone that can’t take being assisted by demi-humans or there’s people with conditions, I plan on keeping it at a limited number of visits. A large number of employees in the Kuzunoha Company are demi-humans, so…do forgive me if we can’t accommodate in that regard.” (Makoto)

β€œI have already explained that to them.” (Lisa)

β€œ…Huh?” (Makoto)

β€œNo matter who takes off our clothes…no, no matter if we are told to undress ourselves, with that much effectiveness to it, one would want to participate at least once. That’s the kind of gathering this is…” (Lisa)

β€œ…Seriously?” (Makoto)

β€œSeriously.” (Lisa)

Oku-sama answers playfully.

β€˜Want to participate at least once’?

In other words…eh?

β€œCould it be that…the two who came from Limia came all the way here to Tsige for the hot springs?” (Makoto)

When I directed my gaze there, the two averted their gaze and made excuses saying it was just while at it. 

An excuse even I can easily tell is a lie. 

Looks like I can’t refuse this. 

Rather, since Oku-sama was the one who brought them here, you could say they are safe and profitable people.

β€œ…That’s a surprise. Yeah, truly a surprise.” (Makoto)

β€œTo the point of saying it twice? You have a living example of the results in the form of me, so the people here are simply the first group, you know?” (Lisa)

β€œ1st group. Then, is it okay for someone to accompany you all to serve as a guide? Half and half so to make sure that there’s no inconveniences. I am thinking about maybe 1 night and 2 days to experience it… If you want to experience it with the whole group, I think we can provide our services for around 2 nights and 3 days if you are lenient about being slightly lacking in oud service. It will also be somewhat small rooms for wives of nobles and entrepreneurs though…” (Makoto)

β€œAre you talking about the room I used?” (Lisa)

β€œYes, I am thinking about using that room.” (Makoto)

β€œIf it is that room, then there’s no problem at all. 2 nights and 3 days? It will be the best experience you will have, everyone.” (Lisa)

Overjoyed must be a word to express what was happening here. An explosion of happiness and cheers happened. 

It was as if they returned to their teens.

β€œThere’s one more point I would like you to take note of.” (Makoto)

I have to say this.

β€œRaidou-sama won’t be there, and there will be times when Tomoe-sama and Mio-sama will be present, right?” (Lisa)

β€œ…Y-Yeah. As you can see, I am a man. The ones who will be welcoming you there will be my close-aides Tomoe, Mio, or someone fitting the job.” (Makoto)

β€œNo problem at all. So, when can we go there? Tonight? Tomorrow?” (Lisa)

I thought this person alone was calm, but it looks like Lisa-san is also quite entranced by the hot springs. 

I don’t know if it is because she is being affected by the atmosphere, but her way of speaking is more childish than normal…and was somewhat alluring.

What a sly woman.

β€œIt is mainly for bathing, so I don’t mind it being tonight, but…considering the amount of time you can stay there, I would say it would be best for it to be tomorrow.” (Makoto)

β€œI would like to introduce it to them as soon as possible due to the immediate effects of it…but our stay time prolonging is also appealing. This is a first experience after all…” (Lisa)

There’s no immediate effect in hot springs. 

β€œHaha…again with your jokes.” (Makoto)

But I refuse.

This isn’t an atmosphere where I can say that.

β€œThe monetary talk can be discussed at a later time, right?” (Lisa)

β€œ? They are people Oku-sama has introduced to us because you want them to experience it, so I was planning on providing our services this time around for free though?” (Makoto)

Cheers of delight burst out again.

This is something I learned recently too. 

People -especially women- are weak to the word free.

They love it. 

I also like the word β€˜free’, but after getting a decent amount of money, I am now the type that feels slightly bad about receiving something for free.

I think the ones who enjoy free things the most are women.

Well, there’s even people who have come all the way from Limia. 

There should be no problem with having them experience it for free. 

β€œ…Experience THAT for free, you say?! I see… After they have tasted it, the price will soar to the high sky… Not bad. This will be the devil’s free experience for a woman.” (Lisa)

Oku-sama was muttering in a low voice.

Hmm, but price, huh.

I think it will become something like a spa resort, but will it be a number of times ticket or a membership ticket? 

Tomoe and Mio are pretty passionate about that place too, so I should ask them later. 

I could also consult with Rembrandt-san and his wife when they are calm. 

I honestly think even 2 times a week is excessive, so I would say tickets for when they have to go would be better.

  1. Makoto indirectly trying to conquer the world, by conquering the noble wife heart throught hot spring 🀣🀣
    People reminded in this world,

  2. Discount 30% = This is a War!!
    Discount 60%= Hold it!! The Power of Housewife!!
    Discount 80% = Run!! The Zombie horde is come!!
    Discount 100%= WORLD END

  4. I am really interested in learning how toilets work in this world too. Are there seats, or just a squatting drop hole? Plumbing or honey wagons? What kind of paper is available. Is there running water or a jug provided? How/do people wash their hands after?

    I really hope for a few episodes detailing all these captivating matters before author returns to waste our time with unimportant entities like demons, heroes, apostles, gods, family and useless events like wars, political moves, travel between worlds or God forbid some romance

    1. Can you not obliterated the author this topic, literally with shitting? xD

      Look, it is a very deep story but damn… Does Mushoku tensei also have such detailed toilet deeds in the Novel? Just remembering how impressive that is, that they already in the first episode showed us that their dumbhut stinks.

      But that aside, now i would like to know how their architecture is done…
      My head hurts! Going to much into detail makes the world telling look like filler

    1. Having read the manga, I wonder if she knew what Patrick was up to, plotting and then killing the merchant and his daughter so he could have their company?

      1. She knew. It was a plot of them two(or three, if you count Morris in), not him alone. If you read the manga, you will see she’s teasingly said that she will probably be with another man if he took too long.

  6. I can deal with most of the situations of him the author mentioning something, and then it happening without an actual scene being written of it happening like shimia appearing at the hot springs when it was only mentioned that an offer was being made. But this whole hot spring thing how the f*** are they getting there without teleporting and tomorrow it’s all the way in the demon mountains right which means it’s across the demon border at some point makoto talked about the fact that it would be impossible for the humans to push towards the country that it’s in because it’s too far behind demon lines which means that they have to be getting there in a way that isn’t actually going there which means they have to be teleporting so how is he explaining or properly hiding azura while teleporting and offering all these different people to this place I would say the sword that they were talking about that allowed them to teleport from location to location but that broke they shouldn’t have an ability that anyone knows about to teleport which means this is big and it should be something that was explained but they just keep nonchalantly mentioning that people are going to the f****** demon mountains and going to the resort and not explaining why they don’t have any sort of like confusion or wondering of how they even got behind demon lines no one questions why makoto has a Hot spring resort behind enemy lines there’s no like problems at all where there should be tons of problems. This hot spring should be a very big deal but everyone acts like it’s normal.

    1. It was explained before on the story but I will answer you, THEY ARE being teleported. Teleportation of humans is hard but can be done as long you have formations to lessen the burden on the mana cost they are quite common but really expensive and as long it is not a lot of people or really long distance it can be done. There is a disproportional increase in the mana consumption with the distance so for example when going from one country to another you have several teleport formations in a row instead of only one(it is also made this way to increase the security). Small teleportation doesn’t use a lot of mana but it is not useful outside of combat and is also way harder to teleport non-living beings for some reason(it was not explained why). Like teleporting the people themselves would not be a problem but would need preparation like 1~~2 days between countries but cargo for example would be near impossible(That’s why people can travel via teleport formation(like makoto and shiki were doing the first time the god kidnapped them) but merchandise is basically exclusively on the golden highway). You have to even pay extra to teleport with clothes some people are even teleported naked because of the outrageous increase in cost just from the clothes alone. That explained since they don’t know where the hot spring is and tsige being in the wasteland surrounded by mountains they just assume the distance is close by but the location hidden. If they were to know that the location is really far away it would be another story if you take in consideration that it is some place in the wasteland it is plausible. Remember the hot springs is in a mountain a couple hours from the city not in the city itself. The sword was outrageous because it could basically teleport any amount of people with no preparation with equipment and all at no cost as long all the people went to the same location. The teleport formations don’t open a portal they pay the cost FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON and the more distant the more the cost the sword could do the same thing without the cost and without pre-made teleportation formation, that’s why it was worrysome. You could make a teleport formation between countries and invade throw that but it would be unbeliable since you can detect the teleport formation also it would use an outrageous amount of mana to teleport an army to another country. It would require ridiculous amount of preparation and an almost infinite amount of mana to do it basically exhausting all the mages just for the teleportation alone while the sword could do it instanly with no cost assossiated.

    2. Plot about bishop is quite interesting with how church reaction of their bishop retire/abducted by kuzunoha company
      And here we are, not knowing what the hell is going on with author just show the result…

      If my memory serve me right, teleport is a hidden/ancient technique, even hyuman just have that 3 relay spot teleport?
      Every highups want to have Tomoe short sword which have teleportation skill in it right?
      There’s no explanation about why everyone just accept that resort is on the demon territory & they just being teleported once wich is a very long distance that seems impossible with normal teleport where hyuman use

      There too many convenient plot hole author use tbh, i can’t count & care that anymore lmao

    3. Bruh you are a full retard. Obviously, theyll be teleported by kuzunoha via asora gate.

      They dont even know where that is located and you expect them to travel there?? Think nataniel, think.

      1. He knows but the point is even if they just think it’s teleport and just close by, there still should be some doubts…

        1. Doubts about what exactly? Does it matter?? Its known that Kuzunoha have cheatlike teleportation, tho they lie that it broke to make the other nation owe them more. After kuzunoha claimed the benefits, they doesnt really need to commit on that lie. Infact makoto blatantly using longrange teleportation, he is literally all over the place. Its impossible that the major powers spies wont notice that. His trip to lorel thats supposed to take several months from travel alone was easily done in few months

          1. Even if they do notice, he does leave “alibis” by having ppl move carriages that are his “merchandize” though they really are just empty, so the other countries won’t call him out unless he does something big, and still that doesn’t mean all his guests to the onsen have such a vast information network…The first doubt would be that the closest mountain range is the Lorel one…doubt it has snow and even if it does, can they just go and build on or so close to another country…Also you’re wrong, the travel to Lorel wouldn’t have taken long through Rotsgard which is what he did to keep appearances.

          2. Did they go to rotsgard 1st? Then that shows that theyre not so cautious about their long range teleportation being discovered. Normally they need to go to teleportation relay towns to go rotsgard, right. But there are relay towns between tsige – rotsgard that are nearer to Lorel entrance. They dont need to go all the way to rotsgard.
            Also i meant the lorel labyrinth, not the eastern gate of Lorel.
            The timeframe i said maybe exaggerated but base on Irohas words;

            ‘Thinking about the villages we have gone to, it would normally take around 1 month.’

            This is during their (incomplete) travel from east gate town to kannoi. It would normally take months to travel via carriage

          3. Idk if theres snow in lorel mountain (seasonal maybe), it seems like its not winter season yet tho.

            Theres gentle snow in Demonic Mountain’s hot-spring village, its quite easy to guess where they are (tho hard to believe)
            But as im saying it doesnt matter. specially to those YOUNG women, as long as they become young n beautiful again, they would even worship devil-sama, I reckon.

    4. Yeah, it was not even mentioned if they are using mist gate openly and if they explain that to them. And if they even mention to them that the location was in the demon territory.

      It just start with a chapter a while before with rembrant and moris already in the hot spring without properly explaining how they got there. Did they use mist gate? If so, what explanation or excuse they used.

      Then they invited other top representative. But there is no reaction with how they get there.

      What i want is at least some reactions, you know?

      Just why?

      1. Rembrandt be like : “kuzunoha company can teleport us directly to the Onsen in demon territory? it’s nothing weird, it’s raidou-kun after all”.

        And as we can see on few previous chapter, anything weird or amazing related to the kuzunoha or raidou, tsige citizens just like “that’s normal, it’s kuzunoha after all”. And about higher people from others county, even when they already know about kuzunoha teleportation special method, they are too afraid to do the intervention to kuzunoha company, because they already knew how powerful raidou/Makoto is, and for them it’s not secret anymore about Makoto/raidou is the real identity of the devil.

        1. No, the majority of the higher authority still doesn’t doesn’t know who Raidou really is, and even the teleportation method they used. It was shown by the time the secret organization meeting. They only think that the Kuzunoha company was giving false info of the where about of Raidou while in truth he’s at the Academy. They think that they the Kuzunoha was playing with them and doesn’t even suspect the teleportation.

          Kuzunoha even improve their alibi by getting a massive storage room and the massive caravan that travels at golden highway at certain schedule, so it’s clear that the teleportation is still in the shadow.

          I don’t know about the Limia’s king tho, whether Hibiki told them or not was still unknow. Only Hibiki knows that they still have a means of teleportation, but even that is still her speculation and doesn’t have a concrete evidence. She just connected the dots base of her conversation with Makoto and the hint about taking refugee and the mist town.

          You know, cuz the teleportation weapon was destroyed, and the higher ups still believe that.

          And about them knowing that he is the devil? They don’t even consider that. Only the dark elf and some anti goddess cult firmly believe that and they also witness that, but fortunately or unfortunately, they all died so no one live to tell the truth.

          And besides, my point is, i want some reaction. And don’t just skip some important part.

    1. Makoto made her an offer when Dio (the variant that didn’t transform fully) was cured. And it is mentioned in ch 339.that he will show her the hot springs and offer her a job there. Evidently she accepted.

    2. The Author has a bad habit of mentioning his plans to do something, then skipping over the actual doing of it, and just later on it apparently just got done off screen.

      TBH I think he gets onto a roll writing, and fails to double check if he actually wrote the planned scene. Its something that would probably be corrected if this was being edited for a LN release instead of self published.

  9. I’m such a small person, I know for a fact I wouldn’t let those women easily use such a hot spring if I were in Makoto’s shoes.

    1. Sometimes giving out freebies is normal to encourage future purchases; especially if it’s something good. Considering how passionate his 2, main followers are about hot springs, it’s normal to allow it. Plus, Lisa is the wife of Patrick so there’s no demerits to it.

      Makoto already mentioned he hasn’t made it more readily available due to staffing. With how great an experience, and the fact that he’s the only one with a hot spring (I can’t remember if Lorieli has any since I can’t remember if the bath scene was a normal bath or not).

      1. Did anyone else notice how he had to SPECIFICALLY state that he would NOT be there and that it would be Tomoe and Mio that would assist them.

      2. Lorel does have hot springs as well as that is where Japanese culture took root plus they have lots of mountains and it was mentioned early on. I see some business men in Lorel being mighty upset about this

        1. Lorel hot springs doesn’t compare at all to Makoto’s hot spring….In Lorel they only heat up water for people to soak in…In Makoto’s hot spring they are using water that’s from the volcano and mixed special things in the volcano heated water that gives the water different effects on the skin… Makoto hot spring have many different variations to add to the volcano heated water plus they get to use lotions, body oils and so on(the people in Asora made these and also Shima is coming up with new make up and skin care products too)

          1. Lorel’s also have different types since he said he would have to investigate them for their own (before it was finished, might have sent Tomoe or someone to check). Just that it wasn’t properly mentioned when they went to Lorel.

  12. Someone please tell me when this arc will end! What happened to the heroes of Limia and Gritonia! And the Goddess! Will this just focus on the MC’s business?!

  15. The Rembrandt Family is becoming a nuisance chapter after chapter, I am not forgetting the kind of family they used to be.

    1. Money and connections are useless (at least those small fishes looking for something from Kuzunoha), Makoto has Lorel basically waiting for him to order something, same situation with the demons, the academy city is under his control, Tsilge is basically his Playground only Aion remains ……. the clown that everyone laughs at and the countries of Trashtomoki and The other hero.

      To tell the truth, I do not see the reason to play the game of the merchant who is beginning his journey to climb positions of power.

  20. Love these slice of life chapters. It’s what sets the story apart from other isekais where they try to do the same, but without the depth. The author clearly has things set up and is bringing a lot of previous details into play. I love expansive worldbuilding and that the core theme of business is still in-tact. Fighting novels get boring after the first 2. Stories need more than that to be appealing to anyone above 12.

  21. Thanks for the combo today, I see he doesn’t realise the weapon he has in his hands, and now that he can provide it for free? He can really lavarege with some big people.

  22. “We had Shima-san teach them the basic knowledge, and as of present, there’s a number of women from varied races with an objective of producing make-up that have begun to turn into full-time employees”
    And that’s how you’ll conquer them all!

  24. Thats right Business side story is so cool and it can lead to the novel where Makoto use his money to kill the goddess by throwing her a penny and one hit kill her WOW I can’t believe it.

    And for those people say he can make a good connection from business to defeat the goddess is an IDIOT have you seen anyone besides Makoto and his aides β€œMio, Tomoe and Priests girl” Only the one who can fight the goddess and any other human or hero’s doesn’t stand a chance.

    Btw thanks for the chapter and can you make the title where’s I can see if it’s business story or fight story so I can skip the boring part, it has been a boring business story since the fight between Makoto and the lightning woman.

    This is why so many people just scroll down a few words and see if it’s a business issue they just skipped it and wait until there is a new development.

    1. At what point did you realize this isn’t Dragon Ball Z or Naruto… or whatever it is you where wanting? Because it isn’t, it won’t be, and it shouldn’t be either.

      1. It’s not about the fight all I want is that we see a little bit progress to story line between Makoto and the heroes or Makoto searching how to back to his former world.

        I don’t know about you but have read Detective Conan? That shit took to long to even have the main storyline that 90% of the readers is just dropping it off and the end the author will just dropped it and rush the ending, just like Solo Leveling ending everyone was so disappointed with the ending that it’s just a laughing stock for everyone that read it.

  27. So pig reception is for general guests, scale for adventurers, web business partners and forest resort related? Any importance to em im missing here guys?

    1. Since he thought the other Rembrandt was in there, Forest is probably for nonbusiness talks, or general consultations in a more informal space. Rembrandt tends to get more fired up about stuff they talk about casually anyway.

      1. Quite true. So forest is like a hobby(business[lol]) discussion room….yet its also equally as chaotic as the other rooms

  28. Thanks for the chapters!

    Sigh. I also need an rnr, Oku-sama. My job never did do work from home or time off even in this heavily infectious season….

  29. I saw some comments complaining about how slow it is, but I think that even though the author is already glossing over most aspects of the business side. It certainly hasn’t become an economics novel yet. It is interesting to see how Makoto is learning more about being a merchant (which is his main job) and learning to spread his network, however uncomfortable he is with it. It is a development on Makoto himself, as he slowly but surely grows to become more capable of being sociable, or at least being capable of pretending to be sociable. And, my gut feeling says that all of this is set up for something big. It is completely the calm before the storm.

    I would also like to propose putting the days before the nights. For example, 2 days 1 night instead of 1 night 2 days, since that is how hotels promote it.

  30. i wonder if Tomoe and Mio gonna try to ask these housewives some kind of nighttime knowledge in being housewives

  32. When all those wives showed up I thought that they were there either to seduce Makoto themselves or try to introduce their daughters to them. Turns out they are just really looking forward to experiencing the hot springs.

    Hmm… two of them are from Limia huh? It’d be hilarious if Makoto ends up stealing away Hibiki’s powerbase through onsens. Hibiki is still an idiot who thinks she needs to confront Makoto because she thinks he’s dangerous but how many forces can she gather if the wives of influential people from Limia persuade their husbands that control said forces that it would not be beneficial to lose the privilege of using the onsen because they oppose Makoto. It’d be even more hilarious if Hibiki’s biggest backer -princess Joshua- ends up abandoning her because of this. I mean she already thought that it would be better to form a cooperative relationship with him instead of antagonizing him and she already has an idea of how OP he is so that coupled with learning she can go to these fancy-ass hot springs if she sides with him makes for a pretty attractive option.

  34. Some quick edits:
    if you are lenient about being slightly lacking in oud service. -> our(?)

  35. For a moment I believed that Lisa’s companions were under the perfume of Tomoki. False alarm. But surely the balneareo will bring the attention of the other rest of Limia. But I need to confirm if Makoto knows that he is spying on the goddess cult.

  37. Thanks for the chapters, but how long is the WN gonna be focused on business?…or is it still focused on it to the current chapters?

  38. Small correction:
    “It probably won’t be a matter where each part will compliment the other.”
    You should replace “compliment” with “complement”. The difference between the two is that one is something you tell someone to cheer them up, while the other means to complete something else to form a whole.

  39. Ok, so he just got spies in many influential matters, the oportunity to proclaim Kalenon as a country once again, a card to play when trying to influence their husbands. Pretty useful meting overal.

  42. Wait is that location now open i tot they still wanna keep it under wrap. 2 limia oku san are going…….. wonder if we will get sophia scene soon lol

    1. I’m not sure they’re going to tell them what country they’re in LOL. The advantage of teleporting is they could be anywhere.

  45. Thanks for the translation!
    The author is just wasting time at this point, this whole arc is more filler than actual plot.
    Thanks for sticking through it for us, Reigokai-sensei!

    1. If this world had an underground pervert market, then the bath water by those beautiful middle age women is something worth a gold per bath water bottle

      1. Looking at Mio and Tomoe fanclubs… Bath water seller would be the shortest lived proffesion in history of jobs.

  52. Thanks! Nepu!
