WM – Chapter 292: Takatsuki Makoto Reunites 2

“Your face is red, Sofia.” (Makoto)

“…How can you be so calm?” (Sofia)

We had that kind of conversation when we got down from the carriage. 

The splendorous Highland Castle was towering ahead of us.

It has been around 15 minutes since we left the Fujiwara Company.

Princess Sofia was spoiled a whole lot by me inside the carriage.

“…Fuuh.” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia sighed lightly and made a gesture as if calming down her heart. 

A desire to tease her welled up a bit inside of me.

I glanced at my back, and the bodyguard knights were standing a bit apart from us.

It is inside the area of the castle, so they must have judged there’s no issues with the security. 

“…You were really intense there, Sofia. I didn’t expect you to do that inside the carriag—hngh.” (Makoto)

“!!” 

She glared at me and covered my mouth with unbelievable speed.

Her face has also returned to being beet red. 

“…Let’s not talk about that, okay?” (Sofia)

“Okay.” (Makoto)

‘I’ll kill you’, is what her eyes were telling me, and I obediently nodded.

We had the soldiers open the big doors of the Highland Castle, and we walked through the long corridor.

I have walked through here several times already, but I am still not used to it. 

“By the way, who are we meeting? Princess Noel?” (Makoto)

I asked.

“It would be nice if we could get time with Noel-sama, but…there’s others, right…? Other people that would want to see you.” (Sofia)

When she told me this, I pictured a number of them.

When speaking of close people in Highland, it would be…

“Takatsuki Makoto!” 

My name was suddenly called.

And then, a golden something approached me.

“You are back!” 

“Gue!” (Makoto)

The one that tackled me with quite the momentum…no, hugged me, was a female knight.

Blonde hair that felt like it was shining, and sparkling golden armor.

There’s only one super flashy female knight I know that fits that description.

“It has been a while, Janet-san.” (Makoto)

“Oh my, there’s no need to call me with honorifics. Hey, I want to hear the stories you have. Come to my room.” (Janet)

The last part was an order.

Janet Valentine-san.

The little sister of the Lightning Hero, Geralt-san, and the young lady of a big noble family of the Sun Country.

She hated me at first, but we grew closer when we adventured at Spring Log.

She is grabbing my hand tightly and isn’t letting go.

“Janet, we have a place to go to. Leave it for later.” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia got in between us.

“Oh my, you were here, Sofia? I didn’t notice.” (Janet)

Janet-san says back as if she were provoking her.

“…Those eyes of yours must be for decoration, I see. How about quitting the pegasus knights that are supposed to be scouts?” (Sofia)

“…Your way too plain dress didn’t enter my sight. My bad.” (Janet)

“Oh my, as expected of a person that wears golden armor that lacks any class, what you say really is different from others.” (Sofia)

“You are one woman that doesn’t understand the worth of things.” (Janet)

“Right back at you.” (Sofia)

““…Fufufu.”” 

Princess Sofia and Janet-san glare at each other with bold smiles. 

This is bad. At this rate, conflict will occur between the royalty of Rozes and the big nobles of the Sun Country! 

While I was getting cold sweat here, Janet-san turned my way. 

“Takatsuki Makoto is getting troubled here.” (Janet)

“That won’t do.” (Sofia)

The two stopped glaring at each other and their expressions grew softer. 

“Sofia, let’s stop the joking here. I would like to hear his story too.” (Janet)

“Yeah, I know. We plan on having a party to celebrate Hero Makoto’s return tonight at the Fujiwara Company’s residence. I will send you an invitation later.” (Sofia)

“Understood. Takatsuki Makoto, let’s take our time talking later, okay?” (Janet)

“Okay…” (Makoto)

This is my first time hearing about this plan though?

But well, we are talking about the adept Fuji-yan here. 

He must have proposed this to Princess Sofia on the back.

I am grateful to be given an occasion to tell my acquaintances about my return.

There’s one thing that bothered me.

“Could it be that Geralt-san is also there?” (Makoto)

I asked nervously.

If he is coming, I feel like he would be asking me about the battle of the Demon Lords in the past the whole night. 

But Janet-san shook her head to the sides sadly. 

“Unfortunately…my brother is at the frontline base that’s in the northmost extremity of the continent.” (Janet)

“Frontline base?” (Makoto)

“The base of the alliance army that will serve as the first line of defense for when the demon lord army attacks. Since the resurrection of the Great Demon Lord, there would always be several Heroes stationed there.” (Janet)

“I see…so that’s how it was.” (Makoto)

According to what I heard, the Lightning Hero Geralt-san and the Scorching Hero Olga-san have headed to the Frontline Base.

In other words…

“I am eventually going to go to the Frontline Base?” (Makoto)

I was thinking things were going to be getting busy from now on, but Princess Sofia and Janet-san opened their eyes wide.

“Oh my, Takatsuki Makoto, you really don’t know anything about the current state of things.” (Janet)

“Yeah, we plan on explaining it to him later.” (Sofia)

“…?” 

I couldn’t keep up with the conversation of the two.

Did I say something weird?

“See ya later, Sofia.” (Janet)

“Yes, Janet. See you later.” (Sofia)

The two were exchanging elegant smiles.

It is as if the thorny atmosphere of before was a lie. 

“Are you close to Janet-san?” (Makoto)

“Yes, we are borrowing the combatants of the Valentine Household to deal with the monsters of the Water Country. In exchange, we would dispatch our priests here. You could say the connection between our families is stronger recently.” (Sofia)

“I see.” (Makoto)

I do remember being told that before.

“As for anything else, we have been talking about you pretty frequently.” (Sofia)

“…I-Is that so?” (Makoto)

Just what in the world did those two talk about me?

I want to know…and at the same time I don’t.

In the end, I didn’t delve too deeply into that.

I then noticed Princess Sofia was staring at me intently. 

“There’s one thing I want to tell you.” (Sofia)

“Yes?” (Makoto)

I got a bit nervous at the serious tone of Princess Sofia.

“Takatsuki Makoto…you are currently not a Hero.” (Sofia)

“……Eh?” (Makoto)

I was shocked.

No way…did I get fired?

(Like hell that would happen.) (Ira)

The Destiny Goddess retorted. 

You were listening?

“When you went to the past…we had to explain to the citizens that you wouldn’t be able to perform your duties as the Country Designated Hero. However, we couldn’t disclose to the public that you had travelled in time. Because of this, we had to announce that Hero Makoto had been seriously wounded in the fight against the Demon Lord Zagan, and can’t fight anymore. At that time, you were elevated from Country Designated Hero to Honorary Hero.” (Sofia)

“Honorary Hero…?” (Makoto)

Is it like the eternal missing number?

Why did she do such a troublesome thing?

(A Hero is the symbol of the country’s military power after all. If it suddenly disappeared, the people would get uneasy, right? That’s why there’s the need to give them some sort of explanation.) (Ira)

I nod in understanding at the explanation of Ira-sama.

I couldn’t think about that stuff since I headed to the past, but the ones that remained must have had to do a lot of things. 

(By the way, an Honorary Hero isn’t treated as being on active duty, so they don’t have the obligation to participate in the battle against the Great Demon Lord.) (Ira)

So that’s what this is.

I now understand the words of Janet-san just before.

Looks like there’s no need for me to go to the Frontline Base.

Even so…

“Asking just in case, but…are you going to go back to being a Country Designated Hero? I promise that your status in the Water Country is already the highest there is. Glory and fortune will be given to you as you wish.” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia asked me this with an upward glance.

“Hmmm, are there inconveniences with staying as a Honorary Hero? Whichever the case, I will be fighting the Great Demon Lord, you know?” (Makoto)

“……Listen here, there’s no need to force yourself to fight the Great Demon Lord, you know? You are not a Hero on active duty after all.” (Sofia)

She said almost the same thing as Ira-sama.

But the answer is already set.

“I came back to the present to fight the Great Demon Lord again.” (Makoto)

“This man… Got it. I will go through the procedures to bring you back to being a Country Designated Hero. We have explained to the people that you can’t even move your body, so please stay put for a while.” (Sofia)

“Okay~.” (Makoto)

Looks like I won’t be able to go to this so-called Frontline Base immediately.

I was a bit interested though.

At that moment, I remembered something.

“You spread the word about Noah-sama in Rozes, right?” (Makoto)

“Yes. I got the permission of Eir-sama, and…most of all, it is the Goddess that Hero Makoto worships and has been accepted officially as the 8th Goddess by the Goddess Church. I can’t just not do anything.” (Sofia)

“Thank you very much.” (Makoto)

I give her my sincere thanks.

“I haven’t done anything to warrant thanking. By the way, have you spoken to Noah-sama already?” (Sofia)

“About that, not yet.” (Makoto)

I ended up letting out a slightly dissatisfied tone.

I thought for sure we would be able to talk immediately after returning to the present. 

“I see. This is what I was told by Eir-sama, but…there’s something she wanted me to tell the Hero and Oracle of Noah-sama.” (Sofia)

“The Hero and Oracle that Noah-sama chose?” (Makoto)

I was so shocked I even heard the *gan* sfx ringing.

But I see. 

Now that she has become a Goddess accepted by the country, she will obviously be choosing a Hero and Oracle.

I am an Apostle, so that’s a different position.

In the case of the Water Goddess, Prince Leonard is the Hero.

Princess Sofia is the Oracle.

…The Hero and Oracle that Noah-sama chose, huh.

Will I be able to get along with them?

I wouldn’t like it if our personalities didn’t mesh.

“That’s not it, Hero Makoto. Noah-sama isn’t choosing a Hero and Oracle.” (Sofia)

“Isn’t choosing?” (Makoto)

“Yeah… Eir-sama was somewhat angry that she isn’t fulfilling her duty as the 8th Goddess.” (Sofia)

“What are you doing…Noah-sama…” (Makoto)

Was she that much of an airhead?

No, that Goddess acts as if she is airheaded, but actually isn’t.

She is different from a certain Goddess.

(Who is this ‘certain Goddess’ you are talking about?) (Ira)

Not about you, Ira-sama.

(Don’t lie! I saw my face surfacing in your mind!) (Ira)

I profusely apologize for my rude comment.

“I leave it to you, Hero Makoto.” (Sofia)

“Okay, leave it to me.” (Makoto)

I will ask about that when I meet her.

The expression of Sofia changed at this moment.

“By the way, have you heard about the achievements Lucy-san and Aya-san obtained after you left?” (Sofia)

The topic changed.

“No, I was instantly assaulted by them right when I met them after all.” (Makoto)

“Haah…is that so. The Water Country was in a gloomy mood from losing one Hero, but Lucy-san and Aya-san were working as adventurers. Right now Aya-san is Orihalcon Rank and Lucy-san is a Platinum Rank and a Saint Rank Mage. They have become a famous party known by everyone in the continent.” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia said proudly. 

“Eh…? Orihalcon and Saint Rank Mage…?” (Makoto)

In just one year?! 

“Judging from your face, it looks like this is the first time you have heard of this. Their names have reverberated in the Water Country as the number one adventurer party, the Crimson Fangs.” (Sofia)

“Crimson Fangs…” (Makoto)

S-So cool.

That’s super different from the nickname I got when I was at the water city. 

At that time, I was called the Goblin Cleaner!

Can they let me join the Crimson Fangs…?

(Aren’t you the party leader?) (Ira)

But my adventurer rank is low…

And I am not an active adventurer anymore…

“…Uhm, why are you making a gloomy expression?” (Sofia)

“I was thinking how everyone has become so great in the time I wasn’t here.” (Makoto)

“What you achieved is far more outstanding though… Do you even get that?” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia comforted me, but the desire to get back to being an active Hero and work a whole ton welled up in me. 

I want to get a nickname like Crimson Fangs as well! 

(Crimson Fangs is the party name, not a nickname, you know?) (Ira)

The small details don’t matter.

Even so, both Lucy and Sa-san rose up, huh.

At that moment, a certain party member’s face surfaced in my mind.

“Now that I think about it, Princess…Furiae-san, is she doing well?” (Makoto)

She wasn’t together with Lucy and Sa-san.

She is most likely focusing her all in restoring Laphroaig.

She must be working hard as a Holy Maiden.

Princess Sofia looked meaningfully at me when I asked that question.

“If you are surprised about Lucy-san and Aya-san, you will be even more surprised when we talk about Furiae-san.” (Sofia)

“What do you mean by that?” (Makoto)

“That’s…” (Sofia)

Just when Princess Sofia was about to say something..

“Makoto-san!” 

“Takatsuki-kun!” 

At the same time as my name was called, I was pushed down.

(You are one man that gets pushed down a lot…) (Ira)

My Physical Strength stat is 3, you know…

(That’s not the stat of someone in their late teens…) (Ira)

Isn’t it your fault that my stats are so low, Destiny Goddess-sama?

(It is not my fault. You were unlucky.) (Ira)

So horrible! 

I can’t believe you, the one called the Luck Goddess, is saying that! 

While I was having that chat, I looked up.

The ones looking down at my face were two handsome people.

A pretty boy with tears in his eyes, and a handsome man in tears as well.

Looking at it like this, the tears of a man really are heavy. 

“I am back, Sakurai-kun, Prince Leonard.” (Makoto)

I reunited with my colleague Hero and my childhood friend Hero.


■Comment Response:

>Makoto is purposely letting himself be kissed and pushed down, right?

-Yes.

>The Great Sage-sama didn’t say it tasted bad, so that means Makoto-san is still a virgin? Or maybe his blood is tasty even when not a virgin?

-This is important, so I will be properly writing about this later.

■Author’s Comment:

I feel like the reunions will be continuing for a while. Next would be the explanation of the current era.

The developments are going slow? This is the last arc, so I want to take my time writing it. 

The illustration is the scene where the Scorching Hero Olga-san and Makoto+Sa-san meet (7th Arc)

The weapon she is holding is the Holy Sword Balmung. 

The Holy Sword that Anna-san swung around and got bent.

I have published an illustration of Noah-sama on twitter of the 7th Volume. 

It turned out pretty cool.

  1. Some definite time line issues here and a feeling of things being skipped over? But hey hoo~ Let’s hope it gets going again. (˃ᆺ˂ )

  2. If it is the last arc the I want is to be long as hell, so I want it to drag out a bit. Also, Noah better have a good reason for nor talking to him, I would feel upset aswell^^

  3. this doesn’t make any sense, he as even a statue of himself in Highland on the same place of the party with Anna, Johny, Momo, etc… by now his name were to be know in every single country, his fame at least had to match that of Momo if not surpass it, but no… he still only a Hero that people doesn’t even know in the streets

    1. the author turned a blind eye to that part. i wouldnt have remembered it if you hadnt reminded it lmao

    2. They literally don’t know he’s back. They don’t even know the statue is of the same person since apart from the upper brass of each country no one knows he went to the past. They likely at most just think he looks like the statue guy.

    3. They probably kept it as mysterious 5th members, kinda like how no one knew what happened to Abel after he defeated the GDL. He can probably be considered cosplaying as himself in their world.

  4. It would be a bit sad if he eventually isn’t able to fight the GDL. He came back to the past and left his other friends and Anna because he felt like he had to anyways

  5. Coming back to check it, i got how Makoto felt about his party, he goes into a huge Main quest while his party goes farming and getting all secret equipment and achievements, to the higher ups he already is a legendary hero and a threat as big as the demon god himself, but to everyone else, he is just a retired hero who can’t fight anymore and was missing for a whole year, not mentioning the time he lost and the several changes history itself had and he simply couldn’t find yet, in a extent, it’s a unknown present with several changes that most probably will bother him

    1. put it simply, makoto is down cause the rest did the stuff he wanted to do on his own normally, but now while the rest raised their ranks and did the side quests, he is full deep in main quest and cant take side quests as he usually loves to do

    1. But strangely enough he could ALWAYS avoid the moves of Big Tony the gay adventurer…? Just a little suspicious methinks?
      Perhaps he intends to add Sakurai and Prince Leonard to his harem? (=^ェ^=)

  6. what if sakurai is anna, just in abel form, that’s why althena is fond of sakurai since it’s her oracle from 1000 years ago.

    jokes aside, thanks for the chapter.

  7. So now I reached the last chapter… This novel is much better than I thought, just makes me sad that this is the last arc. I kind of assumed there would be like 800 chapters somehow

    1. Honestlly, i never tought this novel would reach 800 chapters (400 maybe, but not 800), is too fastpaced to last that much, it´s not like for example lord of the mysteries that with 1400+ chapter the ending feels rushed. i just hope that the quality doesn´t drop, i´ve goten attached to the characters.

  8. Thanks for the chapter.
    I always imaginated Olga with a full body armor, when I read about her…

  9. His strength really never went up from that 3, huh? What do level-ups even do for this guy? Rather, how high is his level after a Demon Lord hunting spree? Maybe it could have unlocked special bonuses in his skills at least?

    I mean…The Crimson Fangs certainly would be crazy impressive party members. We have one of the few teleport users on the continent and the girl who bent a hero’s weapon. Something that only the Great Demon Lord has been able to do.
    Eeey, Leo and Sakurai. How’ve you been? We’ve got plenty of encouragement from seeing Anna in action for Light Hero 2.0. You’re not doing bad at all, Sakurai.

    Noah looking like that still feels weird for me. I expected her to be on the petite side, but I was expecting her primary color to be black. Black hair, black eyes, black robes…
    Maybe it’s the bias of her being known as an Evil God.

  10. Thank you for the chapter!

    Furi… where’s Furi? I miss her.
    And what about the cat. Is it with her?

  11. In regards to Makoto, his stagnant stats, and RPG Gamer. Even now I’m weirded out that his stats didn’t grow a single bit. Defeating the Great Demon Lord, even going into a Demon Lord hunting trip while looking for a way to come back to the present, his stats didn’t grow a single bit.

    I have a theory that the Reason why Makoto’s stats have stagnated is because of RPG Gamer. Out of the Three Gamers we know (Fujiwara, Sasaki, and Makoto), only Makoto’s gamer skills didn’t develop in the same path as it should. Fujiwara’s Galge Gamer skills originally was able to read character lines, it is also possible that he initially got the ability to get premade answers to increase his affection points towards his capture targets. Chris have said before that Fujiwara removed her fears and have been comforted by him. Then, he eventually got to read other people’s thoughts. Aya initially got, Dash, Charge Attacks, and Mid Air Job. She also got extra lives either as a start too or when it evolved since she got more combat experience than Makoto. Then when her skill evolves, she got Invincible time. Those two skills evolved properly and gained new abilities related to their skills. Fujiwara gained mind reading for easier captures and Sasaki gained skills for Musou games.

    Makoto however, haven’t evolved his skills as a gamer. His stats didn’t evolve either even though RPG is a game where your stats absolutely matter. I got a feeling right now that his stats are in a “bank” where it is waiting to be invested to a stat point.

  12. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    I feel that his meeting with the Highland royalty will be awkward. x)
    Makoto being pushed down left and right regardless of gender is becoming the standard! XD

  13. Welp we’ve finally caught up to the raws.

    Oh ho so Sofia was intense huh Makoto? Well I think it was Rosalie who said that the quiet ones are secretly the most lewd.

    Looks like Janet has been officially approved of by the legal wife. And I see that her and Sofia’s relationship hasn’t changed. They are still like Yue and Kaori. I was expecting that Makoto would look away briefly and then turn around and see them grappling with each other.

    So Makoto is no longer a Hero because they needed to give an excuse to the citizens of the Water Country why Makoto wasn’t around. At least he can be reinstated now though he apparently wouldn’t be able to immediately head out to the frontlines. He’s gonna go stir-crazy again like when they didn’t let him leave the hospital.

    Meanwhile Lucy and Sa-san have become pretty famous. They even got a cool party name. Makoto is jelly since he only ever got names like Goblin Cleaner and Shameless Pole Hero. I wonder if this upcoming party will be where they announce all Makoto did in the past to all the countries? Some of the Highland nobles should know he went to the past since they were there when Althena personally asked him to go.

    What did happen with Furiae if she managed to become even more famous than Lucy and Sa-san? Has she become the continent’s God-Emperor?

    So apparently Eir is angry that Noah hasn’t picked an Oracle and Hero yet. I won’t be surprised if that once Makoto finally reunites with Noah she throws the work onto him to pick an Oracle and Hero. He should go look for Cain’s reincarnation and make them either the Hero or Oracle and make some acquaintance take the remaining position.

    Hmm that’s suspicious what the author said when questioned about if Makoto is still a virgin or not.

  14. Ooohh

    So there is a high possibility that the taste of your “lover” is sweeter than any other blood.

    So either she loves makoto so much, his blood taste sweet.

    Or they did the thing and magic happened Makoto’s blood is tasty

  15. Guys why do the characters look like children BabyRage I have been jerking off to literal toddlers all this time BabyRage the author is such a lolicon BabyRage Noa looks too young BabyRage

  16. Thanks for the chapter!
    As other said: I need my Noah dose!!
    But I also like Makoto’s interactions with his harem.
    I’m quite surprised nobody has said anything about prince Leo and Sakurai pushing him down…

  17. Thanks for the chapter! I guess Noah hasn’t chosen a hero yet because she was waiting for Makoto to come back, but why not an Oracle? Could there be a special reason?

    1. I suspect it is due to Makoto being an apostle. Remember, apostles gain both the ability to speak with the goddess (like an oracle) and power / special skill(s) from the goddess (like a hero). It seems like the current pantheon split the role of apostle into two, but Noah is holding on to the older tradition used by the former pantheon.

  18. That illustration tho.

    I honestly thought Olga-san would be your typical Amazonness; tall and buffed, with fierce but beautiful face.

    BUT PETTAN OUT OF NOWHERE? Dang, that was a surprise.

    1. Waaaaait, if I zoomed a little, she’s just a bit slender than a just a full pettanko.

      Still, that’s quite a bit out of prediction.

  19. Hmm,Sofia needs more love
    😤
    She’s been a wallflower the entire time, a tad bit of yandere would be appreciated

  20. I can’t wait to see Makoto show his might in battle! I guess he got stronger due to fighting with almost all the demon kings. And the promise to fight the Dragon Demon King?

  21. when a Goddess of Luck said that you were unlucky. hahaha

    now I’m missing Noah too, and I want to see catfight between Noah and Ira inside Makoto head.

  22. Ngl i don’t like the illustrations. The art is pretty but they don’t fit my images of the characters. Especially the older ones like the goddess. The princess (sofia, furiae, even noel and janet). Hero olga. They all looked too child like
    Lucy, aya, momo is pretty accurate to me so they are fine. But the older girls should be better.
    Thanks for the chapter

  23. >The Great Sage-sama didn’t say it tasted bad, so that means Makoto-san is still a virgin? Or maybe his blood is tasty even when not a virgin?

    -Or she already knows what happened and got used to the taste of blood.

  24. Ah, I guess I’m a bit late. I’m playing in a video game tournament, so I’ll read this later. TY as always Reigokai!

  25. So anyone else picturing Noah suddenly bringing out Cain as her hero, Anna as her oracle, and reinstating makoto as her apostle?

      1. @Mark
        Makoto was removed from his Apostle position since in the past, there was only 1, that being Cain. So since we don’t know for sure, there are only 2 ways of stop being an Apostle imo that is: 1- Passing away(death in any means) 2- its title being taken away from the gods. That could apply to the Oracle position as well.

  26. Thanks for the Chapter (≧▽≦)

    Wait isn’t there a statue of Makoto in the heroes statues? Isn’t that makes him pretty popular in the world

    1. The statue seems to not look like him. Makoto described it as a statue of a mysterious man holding a dagger. If you want, you can picture it as looking like a ero game protagonist. Y’know, with the bangs that hide the eyes? Like that.

  27. Probably not just non-virgin blood tastes disgusting, but also that non-Makoto blood isn’t tasty.
    So, the real reason is probably that Momo just didn’t want anyone else to sleep with him before she could and after his return.
    Well, this is just my assumption based on the assumption he did have children with Anna.

  28. ngl, I got a feeling that the Sun country’s royalty are Makoto’s descendants after thinking about what the author said about Anna getting a happy ending and what his q&a suggests

  29. That illustration tho.

    I honestly thought Olga-san would be your typical Amazonness; tall and buffed, with fierce but beautiful face.

    BUT PETTAN OUT OF NOWHERE? Dang, that was a surprise.

  30. Still no Noah. And dense as ever….
    Question, how long will Ira hang on our boy? No, I do like their skits, but seriously, girl, you are Goddess for a moment. You can’t just fall for him, can you? No, you are Divine Clutz, and being daughter of your Daddy I can see her totally approve his Any misdeeds as guidelines. But seriously…. Territory was long marked.
    ….but still no Noah…(concerned)

  31. wow, ok so Makoto has the status of savior but he is jelows of Lucy´s and Aya´s party nickname and adventurer rank? this man needs to learn to properly evaluate himself.
    now that he can´t immediatly go to the batlefield i´m curious how he will adapt (last arc he was pretty much speedruning so i believe that he may have become addicted to fight).
    What did Furiae do? for Sofia to tell him that he would be surprised that should be impresive.
    Thanks for the chapter Rei-sensei

      1. Yeah I mean it’s not like there’s literal descriptions of every character in the story itself. I don’t get these comments, do you guys just ignore it and imagine some milf Andy type characters anyways? We are in the last arc, there have been illustrations since the first volume.

  32. Hmm,Sofia needs more love
    😤
    She’s been a wallflower the entire time, a tad bit of yandere would be appreciated

  33. I can’t wait to see Makoto show his might in battle! I guess he got stronger due to fighting with almost all the demon kings. And the promise to fight the Dragon Demon King?

  34. A desire to tease her welled up a bit inside of me.
    I glanced at my back, and the bodyguard knights were standing a bit apart from us.
    It is inside the area of the castle, so they must have judged there’s no issues with the security.
    “…You were really intense there, Sofia. I didn’t expect you to do that inside the carriag—hngh.” (Makoto)
    “!!”
    She glared at me and covered my mouth with unbelievable speed.
    Her face has also returned to being beet red.

    LOL he tease his girl, he have grown some much XD

      1. He told he wanted to tease her so yea he did it un purpose. he still didnt reach the lvl where he send a love letter to another woman through his fiance but he have grown up XD.

    1. I also had some more thoughts when reading the chapter:
      1. I find it weird that the Makoto of this timeline didn’t face assassination, as I think the demon side should be aware of him being the time traveler.
      Honestly, I feel like that’s just a time travel plot hole, but it would have been cool to have a terminator arc where old Makoto protects his younger version from the shadows while the demons are plotting against him. There wouldn’t have been this reunion created from everyone having to wait for a year, but personally, I’d prefer the version where he wakes up earlier and has a job to do.

      2. Noah hasn’t had anything beauty-related in the story other than being beautiful herself, which hasn’t really affected the plot so far, and perhaps also her choosing a beautiful boy as her apostle in the past, which isn’t really more than for example Althena did, despite her literally being the Goddess of beauty. Maybe her blessings could be an explanation for why all the girls fall for him so easily.

  35. when a Goddess of Luck said that you were unlucky. hahaha

    now I’m missing Noah too, and I want to see catfight between Noah and Ira inside Makoto head.

    1. ““I came back to the present to fight the Great Demon Lord again.” (Makoto)
      “This man… Got it. I will go through the procedures to bring you back to being a Country Designated Hero. We have explained to the people that you can’t even move your body, so please stay put for a while.” (Sofia)”
      Makoto, you should have said that you came back to the present because you missed her(Sofia). It would have made her happier.

      “Was she that much of an airhead?
      No, that Goddess acts as if she is airheaded, but actually isn’t.
      She is different from a certain Goddess.
      (Who is this ‘certain Goddess’ you are talking about?) (Ira)
      Not about you, Ira-sama.
      (Don’t lie! I saw my face surfacing in your mind!) (Ira)
      I profusely apologize for my rude comment.”
      Lol. He is really too honest with Ira.

      “(That’s not the stat of someone in their late teens…) (Ira)
      Isn’t it your fault that my stats are so low, Destiny Goddess-sama?
      (It is not my fault. You were unlucky.) (Ira)
      So horrible!
      I can’t believe you, the one called the Luck Goddess, is saying that! ”
      As always, their interactions are so funny to read.

      ““If you are surprised about Lucy-san and Aya-san, you will be even more surprised when we talk about Furiae-san.” (Sofia)”
      What the hell did Furiae do ?

      “>The Great Sage-sama didn’t say it tasted bad, so that means Makoto-san is still a virgin? Or maybe his blood is tasty even when not a virgin?
      -This is important, so I will be properly writing about this later.”
      Don’t tell me that his Blood Pact allows his blood to remain delicious. If it is the case, it will be too funny.

      “A desire to tease her welled up a bit inside of me.
      I glanced at my back, and the bodyguard knights were standing a bit apart from us.
      It is inside the area of the castle, so they must have judged there’s no issues with the security.
      “…You were really intense there, Sofia. I didn’t expect you to do that inside the carriag—hngh.” (Makoto)
      “!!”
      She glared at me and covered my mouth with unbelievable speed.
      Her face has also returned to being beet red. ”
      Sofia is too cute…

      1. She is Mahiru from otonari no tenshi sama, one of the sweetest… The sweetest romance novel out there.

        Also stop putting Mahiru in the comment section of weakest mage, we already know how cute she is

    1. “…You were really intense there, Sofia. I didn’t expect you to do that inside the carriag—hngh.” (Makoto)
      “!!”
      She glared at me and covered my mouth with unbelievable speed.
      Her face has also returned to being beet red.
      “…Let’s not talk about that, okay?” (Sofia)
      ‘I’ll kill you’, is what her eyes were telling me, and I obediently nodded.

      Damn it! the author skipped it. I want to know what kind of “play” they were doing there. It must be something lewd looking at Sofia reaction ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). So now Janet and Sofia really get along with each other huh, and looks like she already got approved by the first wife.

      “That’s not it, Hero Makoto. Noah-sama isn’t choosing a Hero and Oracle.” (Sofia)
      “Isn’t choosing?” (Makoto)
      “Yeah… Eir-sama was somewhat angry that she isn’t fulfilling her duty as the 8th Goddess.” (Sofia)

      Nah I bet she didn’t choose them because she doesn’t need something like the hero and oracle. Makoto is the only one she needed after all. Can wait when Makoto finally reunited with Noah-sama.

      “Judging from your face, it looks like this is the first time you have heard of this. Their names have reverberated in the Water Country as the number one adventurer party, the Crimson Fangs.” (Sofia)
      “Crimson Fangs…” (Makoto)
      S-So cool.

      I think you will get a cool nickname later. And I’m surprised that lucy is a saint rank mage now. Didn’t she only have monarch rank skill? so you can upgrade your skill huh. This is important information I see. I wonder if Makoto also gained buff in this arc. He had Divinity back then but he used all of it. I hope the author makes him stronger now. I wonder what kind of reaction of his friend when they know that Makoto can use God Rank Magic

      She is different from a certain Goddess.
      (Who is this ‘certain Goddess’ you are talking about?) (Ira)
      Not about you, Ira-sama.
      (Don’t lie! I saw my face surfacing in your mind!) (Ira)

      She is the most adorable Ponkotsu Goddess, the Divine Disappointment, and the goddess of failure and misfortune Ira-chan!

      1. I want Noah to say : “Hmph ! Why would I bother to pick a Hero and an Oracle ? I only need Makoto !”

        Yes, Ira-chan is cute and adorable.

        Upgrading skill ? I think it has something to do with one’s stats, but Makoto won’t probably be able to evolve his water, sun or destiny magic. Well, Makoto froze himself with a mixed water and destiny magic, so maybe his proficiency broke through 1,000 ? Or Noah would give him a Hero Skill ?

      2. That really sounds like Noah. I mean she has an apostle, why bother to choose a hero and an oracle?

        He has the RPG skill. At least in my image in every RPG one can upgrade their stats and their skill, not only looking from another world perspective. Thus why I always wondered why despite having such skill, he can’t do something like an RPG player should do. Heck, I don’t even know that his stats were determined by his luck.

      3. Makoto is already a hero and the only one who not only can hear Noah’s voice but the other’s as well as see them. Oracles don’t get to see their goddesses I think cause of brain overload so Makoto is pretty special (which we found based on the dagger he was given by Noah).

      4. Well, there is that theory that after makoto froze himself Cain went to that dungeon that is said to grant immortality and is presumed to still be alive so Cain could be the hero and makoto the apostle

  36. Ngl i don’t like the illustrations. The art is pretty but they don’t fit my images of the characters. Especially the older ones like the goddess. The princess (sofia, furiae, even noel and janet). Hero olga. They all looked too child like
    Lucy, aya, momo is pretty accurate to me so they are fine. But the older girls should be better.
    Thanks for the chapter
