WM – Chapter 173: Takatsuki Makoto heads to the Sun Country once more

“Makoto, are we getting on that?” (Lucy)

“Uwaaa, so big~.” (Aya)

At the place Lucy and Sa-san were pointing at, there’s several tens of Flying Battleships.

The prided air force of Great Keith, the Crimson Wings.

They were lined up in the sky of the capital.

Their presence was quite overwhelming. 

“Then, let’s go, Hero Makoto-dono.” (Tariska) 

“Uhm…General Tariska, we can go to Highland on the Flying Ship of a friend of ours though…” (Makoto)

General Tariska had come all the way to our inn with a ton of subordinates in tow. 

What’s with this feeling as if we can’t run away from this? 

“We are going the same way. On top of that, it is not only Hero Makoto-dono, the Fire Country’s Hero Aya-dono is also present. As such, it is natural for us to accompany you, don’t you think?” (Tariska)

“Hero Makoto, let’s accept the sincerity of the General.” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia whispered in my ear.

When I directed my eyes at her, her eyes were saying ‘let’s give up’.

“This place is hot. Let’s get on already, My Knight.” (Furiae)

Furiae-san was holding an umbrella.

But it seems like, even with that, she is still feeling the heat, and she was glaring at the sunlight as if annoyed by it. 

Tsui was sleeping on top of the umbrella.

I am surprised it isn’t falling off. 

“Got it, Princess. Everyone, let’s go.” (Makoto)

I gave up and got on the Flying Battleship of the Fire Country. 

◇◇

A few hours after departure. 

I was sitting on a chair in a meeting room of the battleship together with General Tariska and the others.

Princess Sofia, Prince Leonard, Lucy, Sa-san, and Furiae-san were here too. 

There were soldiers of the Fire Country lined up around the room. 

(It is hard to relax…) (Makoto)

I would have preferred the Flying Ship of Fuji-yan.

But Fuji-yan has returned to Makkaren for now. 

It is to leave Kawakita-san with Chris-san.

When adding the conversation from the other day, it sounds slightly ominous, but for Kawakita-san, who is currently homeless and jobless, Makkaren is most likely the safest place for her.

Fuji-yan said he would catch up with us later. 

“Now then, everyone, there’s something I would like to tell you all.” (Tariska)

General Tariska looked at us from the center of the giant round table. 

It seems like he will be explaining to us the circumstances behind the sudden order. 

“As you know already, Great Keith sends many warriors to the Demonic Continent on the regular, and we gather information of the Demon Lord army.” (Tariska)

Heeh, is that so. 

Does the Water Country not do that? 

I glance at Princess Sofia.

(We don’t have people who can do that…) (Sofia)

(Right…) (Makoto)

The sadness of a weak country.

“According to the reports, there have been big movements from the demons and monsters of the Demonic Continent. The Beast King Zagan, and the Sea Monster King Forneus; there’s been reports that their subordinates are gathering.” (Tariska)

Everyone gulped at the words of General Tariska.

The Beast King rules over a huge plain which is comprised of the Poison Lake of Ashes and the Phantom Desert. 

The subordinates of the Sea Monster King are sea monsters, so all the coasts of the Demonic Continent are their turf. 

They normally don’t act together, so these two gathering must mean…

“A military move?” (Leo)

Prince Leonard asks General Tariska.

“Most likely.” (Tariska)

The General nods heavily. 

“The leaders of the Demon Lord army have acted a few times in the past as well. However, there was information that the Demon Lords themselves were at the center of this call. This hasn’t happened since the battle 100 years ago.” 

One of the Fire Country knights explained.

“100 years ago… The battle where Rosalie-san became a legend?” (Makoto)

“That’s right. The war where Mama and the Highland Hero fought together against the Insect King Valac.” (Lucy)

I converse with Lucy in a low voice.

It has been 100 years since the Demon Lords themselves moved.

This certainly is big news.

I remember the history lessons I got in the Water Temple about the West Continent. 

The darkness of 1,000 years ago. 

There were 10 Demon Lords with the Great Demon Lord as the summit.

Great Demon Lord, Iblis. 

Dragon King, Astaroth.

Beast King, Zagan.

Sea Monster King, Forneus. 

Giant King, Goliath. 

Immortal King, Bifrons. 

Insect King, Valac. 

Fallen Angel King, Erinyes. 

Fiend King, Barbatos.

And the Apostle of Noah-sama, the Crazed Hero, Cain.

They ruled over the whole world.

All the continents in the east, west, north, south, and the ocean, and even the Floating Continent that’s said to be somewhere in the world.

The world was covered in black clouds that didn’t clear up, and every person was a slave of the demons; an era of darkness.

Savior Abel suddenly appeared and defeated the Great Demon Lord.

There were Demon Lords who were also defeated by Savior Abel.

Demon Lords who went missing after the fall of the Great Demon Lord.

Demon Lords who shut themselves in the Demonic Continent together with their subordinates, waiting for the time when the Great Demon Lord revives.

And the Demon Lords in the Demonic Continent are finally beginning to move in order to rule the world once again.

But this is a whole lot better of a situation compared to 1,000 years ago.

The Great Demon Lord hasn’t revived yet, and there’s 3 Demon Lords remaining.

The 3 remaining Demon Lords including the oldest dragon and strongest Demon Lord, Astaroth, are at the top even within the 9 Demon Lords.

Their war potential is unknown.

“Anyways…” (Tariska)

The General says this as if trying to change the mood. 

“According to the Fire Goddess Sol-sama, there’s still time before the Great Demon Lord’s revival. Isn’t that right, Dahlia?” (Tariska)

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why we should be the ones doing the first move.” (Dahlia)

The Fire Oracle, Dahlia-san, was obviously present in this meeting.

Hero Olga was by her side, but she is docile like a borrowed cat.

“I am bothered by the movements in the Demonic Continent. Demons normally don’t do sly stuff, but…” (Dahlia)

“Within the Demon Lord army, there’s the betrayers of humanity, the gathering of devilkin, the Snake Church. There’s no assurance that they won’t be scheming anything with them in their ranks. They do specialize in it after all.” 

I was bothered by the wording of ‘the devilkin, betrayers of humanity’, and looked at the back with Perspective Change.

I saw Furiae-san with a bitter expression.

(Should I say anything?) (Makoto)

I sent a gaze to Furiae-san…

(…It is fine, just shut up and listen.) (Furiae)

Is the kind of gaze she directed at me.

 I’m feeling conflicted about that, but I decide to just listen silently. 

“The Northern Expedition in 1 month is because, according to the Oracle-dono of the Destiny Goddess Ira-sama,  it will be more than 60 days before the resurrection of the Great Demon Lord. The minute details of the plan will be briefed on at the Sun Country when all the Heroes are gathered. Do you have a question till here?” (Tariska)

“““…”””

Silence covers the meeting room.

(So the Great Demon Lord will resurrect in 2 months at the earliest…) (Makoto)

It has been around 2 years since I came to this world.

There were many personal dangerous situations, but the West Continent was peaceful.

If I hadn’t picked a fight with the Snake Church, I would have explored dungeons of my own choice, and would have enjoyed a carefree isekai life. 

But what’s going to begin now is a war.

Demons vs humans, beastkins, elves, and many others. A war together with the allied countries.

(Hm? …If I remember correctly, there’s people living in other places aside from the West Continent, right?) (Makoto)

“General, I’ve got a question.” (Makoto)

I raised my hand as if it were school.

Everyone looks over here. 

…I am not good with attention.

“What is it, Hero-dono?” (Tariska)

“Are we not going to be acting together with the countries of other continents?” (Makoto)

Leaving aside the Floating Continent that’s not well known where it is, there’s the East and South Continent, and there should be humans and other races living there.

It doesn’t seem like there’s much exchange between them, so I wasn’t taught much information in the Water Temple though.

“…Right, you are an otherworlder, Hero Makoto-dono. It can’t be helped that you don’t know. We have sent messengers to the other continents to ask for assistance, but…” (Tariska)

The South Continent has 3 big countries. 

The relationship between those 3 isn’t good, but it is not to the extent that it is dangerous. 

Highland represented the West Continent and sent an envoy to the Empire that has the biggest scale in the South Continent.

However, the South Continent and the North Continent have a lot of distance in between them, so they passed on the Northern Expedition. 

‘If the Great Demon Lord resurrects, they won’t hold back in their cooperation’, was apparently their response.

The two other countries also did the same.

As for the East Continent, it was a completely lost cause. 

There’s currently a lot of countries fighting for the hegemony of the continent. 

There’s currently no knowing which country will win, and if the West Continent were to send an envoy to any one country, it might bring the sparks of conflict to the West Continent as well.

Because of that, they haven’t requested for their cooperation.

“It is said that the West Continent would be the first one to be aimed at once the Great Demon Lord resurrects. It is the closest to the Demonic Continent, coupled with the fact that Savior Abel came from the West Continent.” (Tariska)

“…I see. I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.” (Makoto)

The West Continent is the one closest to the threat of the Demonic Continent, and it is the one with the deepest fear towards the Great Demon Lord. 

That’s why there’s almost no war between the countries, and they managed to prepare themselves for the battle against the demons. 

But the other continents don’t have the same sense of danger as the West Continent. 

They can’t be counted on.

(What a rough situation…) (Makoto)

The meeting that day ended.

◇◇

A few days later. 

The Fire Country’s flying battleship force arrived safely to the Symphonia capital. 

The giant Highland Castle was getting bigger and bigger as we got closer. 

The one in Gamuran was big as well, but this one is definitely bigger.

At the front of the giant fortress city, there’s the statue of Savior Abel holding up a sword.

This greenish statue reminds me of the Statue of Liberty. 

(Hm?) (Makoto)

I felt something strange.

What is it?

“Waah, I can see it now. The capital of the Sun Country. Wonder if Eri-chan is doing well.” (Aya)

Sa-san had her body pushed against the handrails of the flying battleship. 

I thought ‘that’s dangerous’, but the current Sa-san wouldn’t have a single scratch even if she were to fall from the flying battleship.

“Hey, Sa-san.” (Makoto)

“What is it?” (Aya)

“Was the statue of Savior Abel always that color?” (Makoto)

I spoke out about what was bothering me.

“Eh? I think it is the same though.” (Aya)

“…When I saw it before, I think it was a different color…” (Makoto)

Am I remembering wrong?

“I would notice if the color suddenly changed.” (Aya)

“Hmm, right.” (Makoto)

It is just as Sa-san said.

I must be remembering wrong.

“We will be landing soon. There’s a carriage waiting below, so let’s get in it and head to the Highland Castle.” 

A subordinate of General Tariska guided us. 

“Princess, we gotta go meet Sakurai-kun.” (Makoto)

“Hmph.” (Furiae)

Furiae-san averted her face probably to hide her embarrassment. 

As for me, it has been a while since I have met Sakurai-kun.

But in this situation where the Demon Lord army is planning something, I think the Light Hero-sama will be busy. 

Will he have time to talk if we go visit him?

I was thinking that while being shaken by the carriage and watching the scenery of the capital. 

There’s a lot of people as always. 

But only humans. 

I don’t see elves and beastkin. 

It is different from Rozes and Great Keith; the Symphonia capital has drawn a clear line between races.

Is the young mafia boss Peter still doing well?

I am also worried about the children in the church at the slums of the 9th District.

(But I got no time to worry about others, huh. A war is about to begin…) (Makoto)

It is just that a sense of danger isn’t welling up.

Maybe because I was raised in a peaceful lifestyle, or because of Clear Mind calming down my heart…

Most likely both.

Eventually, the carriage stopped in front of the giant gates of the Highland Castle. 

I was going to go down the carriage, and Furiae-san spoke to me.

“Hey, My Knight, misfortune will befall you…probably?” (Furaie)

“Princess?” (Makoto)

“Aah, I could see the future for a second there, but…I couldn’t really tell what it was.” (Furaie)

“Can you please stop stirring only my insecurity there?” (Makoto)

I direct a look of suspicion at Furiae-san while crossing the gates of the Highland Castle. 

The stone pavings orderly lined up.

“Takatsuki-kun, stop.” (Aya)

“Eh?” (Makoto)

Sa-san suddenly pulled my arm. 

Even Sa-san. ‘What’s the matter?’, is what I was going to say. 

*Bang!!*

A sudden flash.

And then, after a second, the ground shook.

After that, a cloud of dust rose, taking away my vision.

Bombardment?! 

The Snake Church?! 

I hurriedly unwrap my right arm and prepare for an enemy attack.

After the cloud of dust dispersed, there was a swordsman with blonde hair and golden armor that was dazzling to the eye. 

There were sparks of Aura coming out from the armor. 

…Aah, you.

“It has been a while, Rozes Hero, Takatsuki Makotooooo!!” 

Loud.

You don’t need to shout so much. I can hear you loud and clear.

“…Heya there, Gera-san. You seem to be doing well.” (Makoto)

“Lend me yer face fer a secoooond!!” (Geralt)

The one who showed up with delinquent talk was the Lightning Hero, Geralt Valentine.

  5. The statue is green, but when he saw it for the first time is was made of chalk. There is something wrong in the Sun Country.

    1. To be fair, there’s never been anything right with the Son Country in the first place… but yeah, you’re probably right.

  6. Mystery Sauce Thickens. Statue, is it drealated to Spirits? Or perhaps something else, I do have a theory after all, and most of us have the same probably?
    Also, I wonder if Furiae really wants to meet Sakurai… I bet Makoto will just throw her at him and she will be like… Uncomfortable and runs back home to Makoto

    1. Nah he would probably feel that not many people can match up to her, and he is just being frosty, he want’s a brother in law I am sure

    1. It has already been explained that a normal human won’t be able to keep his sanity after seeing a goddess and even her charm is god rank. That was why, he became a fanatic

    1. I thought it would have the same colour as the liberty one, so kind of… Light green blue? Perhaps now it looks like copper without oxidation?

  14. Minor Grammar Correction.

    There’s currently no knowing which country will win, and if the West Continent were to [send an] envoy to any one country, it might bring the sparks of conflict to the West Continent as well.

  19. So the rest of the missing classmatses could have been sent to the other continents?
    What about the religions of the other continents.

      1. If we think like that, some may have reincarnated into monsters that serve the Demon Lord. We have Sa-san who reincarnated into a monster. Otherworlders reincarnated into monsters would definitely be stronger than most of the classmates as they have the Isekai benefit and the possibility to evolve as well.

  20. Thanks fore the great work!
    After reading till chapter 173 in the span of 3 days, I wanted more.
    So I immediately went to syosetsu to check if there more chapters, However the ‘chuuni’ terms were to hard. So I’ll do my best from now on!

  23. Hey Rei, shouldn’t “Winter Continent” be “Flying Continent” instead? It seems like it would make more sense for nobody to know its whereabouts if that’s the case.

  27. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    1. Geralt is pissed because Makoto has gone ahead in the demon lord count before the expedition
    2. Geralt is pissed because he half rejected his little sister or ‘played’ with her
    3. Geralt is pissed because Makoto took too long to come back
    I don’t think he is going to force Makoto to fight him though.

    2. 4: Geralt is meeting people who don’t take him seriously, wants to bring Makoto to show “THIS is the guy I lost to. THE GUY WITH A SPIRIT ARM that KILLED A DEMON LORD ON HIS OWN and then MOVED A COMET.”

  28. Thanks for chap
    I get more and more conviction that ABEL is MC himself
    remember how back in 1st aya POV chap they show that mc was the last one awake in the bus ?So technically MC should be one of the strongest to get to this world yet when he actually does ,then his soul is so weak that he nearly died.My guess is his soul split into two ,one went into the past 1000 years ago,the strong part that became op and mc who ended up in present with barely a sliver of his soul.

    Requesting opinions lol,and in case this comes true in the following story the YAY

  30. Hahaha, the misfortune was spot on by Furaie…
    Certainly, the childish welcome by Gerald stir up MC.
    But i believe, Sa-san was mostly enough for him…

  31. Peh. This guy again. He better not ask for a duel here and now.

    Wow, so these 10 demon lords just sorta…hung out for the past 1000 years? I mean, I guess if we have ancient monsters, then demon lords are even more likely. You’d think that humanity would try to take them out before there’s a Great Demon Lord revival deadline.

    Greenish? That’s…suspicious. Maybe it has to do with Takki being in tune with spirits more so he can see the energy coming off it.

    1. Only 3 Demon Lords are still around at least as far as humans know. They said Abel went after other Demon Lords to kill while others just hid and disappeared with no information of what may have happened to them. The only ones we have information about besides Zagan, Astaroth and Forneus are Valac who was killed 100 years ago by the combined forces of Rosalie and the Highland Hero of that time and Bifrons who the Snake Church tried to resurrect and evolve before Makoto killed him.

  32. Thanks for the chapter! Awesomesauce! More bro bonding and a chance to go to other continents before the expedition!

  33. Thanks for the chapter

    this arc in a nutshell : “nothing happen like planned”

    this arc for Makoto in a nutshell : “Surprise Motherf*cker”

  34. Dunno, I still fell like here, in this arc, it’s where furiae and sakurai part ways, no matter how I think about it, she won’t be happy with him, I mean, unless he leaves highland and this light hero abel reincarnation thing, which doesn’t seens like he will, since the place and the lifestyle in the place it’s something furiae dislikes

    1. I don’t know about Furiae and Sakurai. But one thing for sure is that Furiae doesn’t have any romantic feeling towards our boy, whether she is yet to have it or would never feels it. It’s more like she saw Makoto’s party as a place where she can be her real self and have no care about the world. If not, she only has the feeling of amazement or respect toward Makoto.

  35. Thanks for the chapter.
    I think Furie and makoto has no change for each other. Damn I’m always shipping them.

    “Princess, we gotta go meet Sakurai-kun.” (Makoto).
    “Hmph.” (Furiae).
    Furiae-san averted her face probably to hide her embarrassment.

  36. Thanks for the chapter.

    I am annoyed that Makoto didn’t clearly ask what color the others saw the statue as. He is an rpg fanatic and he is dismissing something as significant as a possible color change to a Statue of Abel. He must really be out of it to not verify explicitly what color the statue is/was for others.

    1. I thought Makoto should check the statue someday, by coming near it and changing his perspective to try to see what’s inside it. You know, in game it’s just like how you try to move the camera so it glitched to out of the map and you can see the blue hell below (search blue hell, oftenly used in GTA or counter strike modded with TPS mode).

  38. That statue ABSOLUTELY changed colors.

    I know because Makoto never actually mentioned the color he sees it as.

    If he had, everyone would know something is up.

  40. I can’t remember if they mentioned the statue in a previous chapter, and what color it was. If they did, can someone please tell me what color it was?

    1. It was white since they said it was made of chalk.

      Chapter 79:
      “Fuji-yan, what’s that?” (Makoto)
      “That’s a statue of the Savior Abel-desu zo.” (Fuji)
      “Hoh, it is big.” (Makoto)
      I could see a giant statue made of chalk. It is on top of a high pedestal, and that figure of his raising his sword up with his right hand.
      “It is like the statue of liberty.” (Makoto)

  41. So I was thinking, the reason he couldn’t eat the Demon Lord’s magic crystal was because A. he doesn’t have the evolution skill and B. his body wouldn’t be able to withstand its mana. With his spirit arm though, he is getting high-level training on controlling massive amounts of mana though. So maybe a combination of that and some hidden effect of RPG Player will later allow him to eat it and become a Demon Lord? Or maybe Noah’s divinity could somehow allow him to, or maybe (if Cain had one) he could eat Cain’s magic crystal, and because they were both Noah’s apostles they would have good affinity and he has the piece of Noah’s divinity. Because it was hinted that Makoto’s favorite ending in the RPG game is when the hero becomes the demon lord, so I thought that could be foreshadowing, not to mention the awesomeness of a Hero that’s part spirit, holds divinity, and is a Demon Lord.

  42. Thanks for the chapter. Well, well lool who we got here. While it’s unlikely they will have a second bout seriously, Makoto would be able to give gera-yan some good fight, without losing control over his magic, even if Geralt had trained. Acquiring Spirit arm is a huge upgrade. His ability’s floor is really high now. And 300 proficiency is a whack, I wonder how the great white sage would react to that and his arm

    1. He probably is higher than 300 now, remember it jumped by 50 after he lost control in the fight with Geralt, imagine how much it’s gone up after using God-tier magic to pick up the comet, and moving the spirit arm in everyday life. I would guess anywhere from 350 to 450.

  47. “Hey , t-there Gera-yan, how are you”
    Hahaha Makoto meeting his maybe brother in law.
    And I think Geralt personality might be the tsundere siscon.
    Lol can’t wait to see what really will happen with the statue though I’m really hope there only some hidden magic or legendary item and not some demon lord.

  48. This is a lot like Goku and Vegeta. I’m sure Geralt sees him as a rival and wants to test him again. Not to mention, his sister went back to ask for permission to marry him. What does that spark of divinity do for him anyways? It’s not like they have explained what it does or how it strengthens him. I think he’s reached the star in Super Mario or something like that. I’m rereading it.

  53. Thanks for the chapter! Hmm something’s weird with the statue of Abel. Maybe the Snake Chruch has put something inside the statue or maybe it’s some special ability that Abel left behind in that statue, and now Makoto is able to sense it due to his large amount of mana in his hand or it’s Noah’s Divinity? It seems like Furiae still has feelings for Sakurai, so maybe she might not join Makoto’s harem although I would prefer that to happen. Also looking forward to the Great Sage meeting Makoto again, and discovered that his hand has turned into that of a spirit.

    1. From chapter 79 –
      –“Hoh, it is big.” (Makoto)
      –I could see a giant statue made of chalk.
      –It is on top of a high pedestal, and that figure of his raising his sword up with his right hand…
      Now it is a greenish color. It was always green… Or was it?
      /no spoilers

  54. Takatsuki Makoto vs Geralt Valentine.
    Revenge Match.
    Tickets all sold out, and are even being re-sold online for 10x the original price.
    😀
    And Geralt is probably pissed because Makoto sank his venomous fangs into his little sister heheh.

  55. So the reason why the expedition is being rushed is because apparently Iblis will resurrect in 2 months so they want to take out at least Zagan before that.

    Ah so there are other continents. I wonder if they’ll ever go to them? Usually in isekais they either never mention any other continents or they do mention them briefly but never go to them.

    And now we know the names of all the Demon Lords. There’s probably more alive than Astaroth, Zagan and Forneus. Also what are the chances that at least one of them is a girl and she’ll fall for Makoto?

    Well that sounds ominous. The statue of Abel changing color and apparently no one but Makoto seems to notice. Is it going become animated like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and go wreak havoc?

    Why do I feel like Furi’s prophecy that misfortune will befall Makoto will end up being something comedic? Like he trips over his feet into a puddle of mud or Janet or maybe even Noel really does get forced on him and he’ll have to deal with her interactions with the rest of his harem so a carnage doesn’t happen.

    Ah it’s Vegeta er I mean Geralt that dork. OK maybe he’s the misfortune to befall Makoto. Either he wants to immediately fight him because he’s tsun and missed him or maybe he’s a siscon and he wants to at least punch the man who has stolen away his imouto. I still want to see how he interacts with Olga since she always consistently got 2nd place in the hero tournament by beating Geralt who always came in 3rd.

  56. Thanks for the chapter!!!
    Makoto vs Geralt 1v1 part two when?
    Makoto vs Olga 1v1 when??
    Makoto vs Sakurai 1v1 when???
    Also I could say Makoto would get god eyes
    360 view already
    He sees everything as if it were a game
    Somewhat like a god
    He sees Abel statue as green, some sort of foreshadowing? It may be related to his divinity but that’s just my guess…
    All I know is spirit magic control probably isn’t the only thing he got from getting god-tagged

    1. Perception? Or perspective? Without spoiling anything, let me just insert this snippet from chapter 79 –
      –“Fuji-yan, what’s that?” (Makoto)
      –“That’s a statue of the Savior Abel-desu zo.” (Fuji)
      –“Hoh, it is big.” (Makoto)
      –I could see a giant statue made of [b]chalk[/b].
      –It is on top of a high pedestal, and that figure of his raising his sword up with his right hand…
      –“It is like the statue of liberty.” (Makoto)

      Now from this chapter –
      –At the front of the giant fortress city, there’s the statue of Savior Abel holding up a sword.
      –This greenish statue reminds me of the Statue of Liberty.
      ..
      –“Was the statue of Savior Abel always that color?” (Makoto)
      –I spoke out about what was bothering me.
      –“Eh? I think it is the same though.” (Aya)
      –“…When I saw it before, I think it was a different color…” (Makoto)
      –Am I remembering wrong?
      –“I would notice if the color suddenly changed.” (Aya)
      –“Hmm, right.” (Makoto)
      –It is just as Sa-san said.
      –I must be remembering wrong.

      1. Hummm.. but chalk is normally with, isn’t it?
        Dun dun dun dun
        I guess is his new mana arm that let’s him see things differently. But, man, ignoring it is not the way of a true gamer!

    1. This was very educational. Talk about several other continents. Gerald showing up talking about lend me yer face? What he is he thinking? Didn’t Makoto beat him last time they fought? Brocon alert activated. Thanks for the new chapter.

    1. The only different Makoto and the others is he had the divinity of titan god in his body now, I’m assuming it related to that, I think it means that statue holds some secret about Abel, either the reason why he suddenly disappear or maybe Abel is hibernated there or maybe some kind of inheritance of Abel strength.

      2. I just got this weird idea right now. What if a demon lord is inside the statue? I got the idea because they said that some of the demon lords have gone missing and they don’t know any information about them and one of the demon lords is named Goliath. It’d make sense to me if he was inside that giant-ass statue of Abel probably slowly recovering his strength while using some magic so that people -including the Great Sage- can’t notice him but Makoto’s new Spirit Arm has given him the ability to notice something is off.

    2. Yes I believe there is foreshadowing there, but I won’t say what it is. Too much of a spoiler as to why Makoto and only Makoto would think so.

  65. This is just kind of a blind guess based on context, but is “feeling fuzzy” here perhaps better translated as “feeling conflicted?”

    Well, nobody would exactly say they are feeling fuzzy but a fuzzy feeling would probably be interpreted more as a gentle, warm sort of feeling. However that’s obviously not what is intended here.

    But I could see how “fuzzy” could be a way to described an unsure, conflicted sort of feeling. It’s just not how things ended up in English.

  66. Genuinely can’t tell if Geralt is just happy to have him back or angry at him. Probably both. The question is, is he angry that it’s taken him so long to get there for a rematch, or angry that he rejected his cute imouto?

    1. “Takatsuki Makoto, let’s have a rematch to see whether you’re worthy for my little sister or not”
      Not gonna surprised if this is his next line

      2. Like, “Water Hero bastard, you think you can just have my little sister?! I’ll pound you into a pulp!” and even if he wins, “Don’t think this means you get to have her!”

  67. Well makoto abput to get punched huh…
    I guess its hard not to do that when your little sister fall in love with your rival

    1. Actually… I think Geralt is one of the most likable elder brothers, He probably approves of the relationship, so long as it’s not the guy who NTRd him… screw that he might be happy Furiae is slowly being seayed

  68. Thanks for the chapter. Makoto’s reunion with Geralt is bound to be explosive. I also wonder what’s the meaning behind Abel’s statue having changed color.

  69. “This greenish statue reminds me of the Statue of Liberty.
    –
    I must be remembering wrong.”

    TAKKI-DONO! Don’t go raising danger flags right from the get go! Something is up and his innate sense of “caution” (read as attraction to trouble) is reacting to the danger!

    Oh the long awaited return of Gera-yan. And it seems Takki-dono forgot to call him Geralt, heehee I wonder what is going to happen next.

    P.S. I guess it makes sense that there are other continents but only just finding out about them… I wonder if we will ever see them [NO SPOILERS PLEASE!]

      1. Hahaha definitely realm of the Great White Sage (really want to learn her actual name soon)! But yes can’t wait to see their interactions

    2. **statue flag is raised**
      bad things are happening,
      bad things are hap-pening
      bad things are happening
      doodidoodidooooo

  70. Ah Shit! Vegeta”s here, and itching for a rematch already. Those other countries might be the first casualty if the Snake Church were smart. I mean, they might as well, Makoto has ruined all their plans and he not there to do that at the moment right?
    Thanks for the chapter

  71. Ah, Vegeta-san, right, then is time for the sister to appear again and try to enter the harem?

    I want arcs of the others continents, would be interesting, especially because I don’t see often arc of others continents in isekais. Would be curious know what power level they have, who is the most powerful en each of them and the religion.

    The thing about the statue of Abel is interesting.

  74. It’s November 14! You know what happens!
