WM – Chapter 219: Takatsuki Makoto speaks to the Holy Maiden

Sponsored Chapter!

“Uhm, got some time?” (Furiae)

A faint purple…negligee…is what’s called, right?

Furiae-san had an alluring nightwear as she entered my room.

“Yeah, of course.” (Makoto)

I was surprised by the difference in her usual atmosphere, and I invited her to have a seat in my room.

But Furiae-san sat on my bed.

Why there?

Is it a serious conversation?

When Lucy and Sa-san came to my room, they were having a conversation while I trained though…

After thinking about it, I stopped my training and sat on the seat.

“……”

“……..?” 

Furiae-san isn’t saying anything.

“Princess?” (Makoto)

Before I could say ‘what brings you here?’…

“Sit by my side!”, and she slaps the bed.

“O-Okay.” (Makoto)

I said this and sat by the side of Furiae-san.

And then, I peek at her face.

She isn’t making eye contact.

But I could tell that she was trying to say something.

Is it something that’s hard to say?

It might be about leaving the party since she has become a Holy Maiden and will be founding a nation.

If Furiae-san plans on focusing on that, I intend to help her out. 

Ah, but I promised Sakurai-kun that I would help him in the fight against the Great Demon Lord.

When that happens, we would have to separate.

Also, I personally would want to show up in the last battle. 

I waited for Furiae-san to speak while I thought about this.

“……”

“……”

I could hear the slight hustle and bustle of the city afar.

The nights of Symphonia are long.

But the inside of the room was silent.

“U-Uhm! My Knight!” (Furiae)

“Yeah?” (Makoto)

Furiae-san held my hand and faced here.

Her eyes were serious. 

What is she going to say…?

“The other day…you saved me from the Sun Hero… Thanks for that.” (Furiae)

“Eh?” (Makoto)

Talking about that at this point?

I thought for sure that it would be a talk about the future.

“I…was happy. My Charm doesn’t work on you, yet you risked your life for me…” (Furiae)

“Dying wasn’t part of my plan though…” (Makoto)

Moreover, by the hand of Eir-sama.

Noah-sama also scolded me real hard.

I sighed lightly.

“Hey, My Knight.” (Furiae)

“Y-Yes?” (Makoto)

My head was in reflection mode from my past, so I changed gears.

I face Furiae-san again.

“I have been given a lot from you. You helped me in Highland, brought me to a whole lot of countries, saved me from the Sun Hero, and made me a Holy Maiden…” (Furiae)

“Hmm…” (Makoto)

She became a Holy Maiden thanks to Althena-sama though.

The others were also not only thanks to me.

“I became your Guardian Knight and received the Charm Skill. That’s why we are even, right?” (Makoto)

“That alone isn’t enough. It isn’t even. But I don’t know how to pay you back, what to do to make you happy, or what to do to tell you about these feelings…” (Furiae)

“…”

‘There’s no need to be so reserved’, is what I wanted to say, but when I saw the tears welling up in Furiae-san’s eyes, I swallowed the words.

By the time I noticed, Furiae-san’s slender body leaned on me, and her face was so close that it felt as if it would reach my face.

Her obsidian-like damp eyes looking up at me.

“Makoto…” (Furiae)

Furiae-san called my name.

According to my memories, she has only called me that at the time when we formed the Guardian Knight pact.

“Don’t be so reckless anymore…” (Furiae)

“Princess…” (Makoto)

Furiae-san’s eyes were looking straight at me as if piercing right through me, and I couldn’t move.

Clear Mind is active, right…?

The sound of my heart beating is loud.

Furiae-san silently closed her eyes.

Her beautiful face slowly approached, and her lips were pushed against mine. 

The moment I was kissed, I caught a slight flowery scent.

I held her shoulders, and when I was wondering about whether to close my eyes…

“Makoto! Let’s train!” (Lucy)

“Takatsuki-kun! I made a late-night snack!” (Aya)

The door was opened with a bang!

Lucy was talking about training yet she had a bottle of wine in her hand, and there’s Sa-san showing up with a food plate on hand.

““……””

The gazes of four people interconnect.

Furiae-san separated from me in an instant.

“Y-You’ve got it wrong!” (Furiae)

Furiae-san shouts.

Lucy and Sa-san ignore her and come here.

“Haah… Makoto, for now, drink this.” (Lucy)

Lucy who supposedly came to train was for some reason filling up a glass with wine.

“For the predator Takatsuki-kun, here’s some bone meat for a late-night snack~.” (Aya)

Sa-san placed a giant plate down with a smile! 

…I am the type that doesn’t eat much at night though…

“U-Uhm…Mage Lucy-san? Hero Aya-san?” (Furiae)

Furiae-san’s voice was trembling.

I tried asking what bothered me.

“Did you hear the voice of us two?” (Makoto)

“Obviously.” (Lucy)

“Loud and clear.” (Aya)

Lucy and Sa-san easily answer.

“Wa?!” (Furiae)

Furiae-san was shocked, but Lucy has the terrifying ears of an elf, and there’s the Lamia Queen Sa-san who can detect the slightest of vibrations as sound.

A conversation in the same building as these two is the same as having a conversation at their side.

“But I didn’t expect you to be kissing.” (Lucy)

“Yeah, Fu-chan is pretty aggressive.” (Aya)

“W-Wait! You heard everything?!” (Furiae)

Furiae-san was getting all flustered at Lucy and Sa-san who were acting all normal.

…I am also not that calm.

Just what in the world was that kiss just now…

“Now, Furi, looks like you have finally admitted your feelings for Makoto.” (Lucy)

“I won’t forgive you if you try to wriggle out of this one~.” (Aya)

“No way! You were letting me swim around on purpose?!” (Furiae)

“No, that’s not it…” (Lucy)

“You know…just listening to what you were saying made my heart beat faster.” (Aya)

“Wuuh…to think you were listening…” (Furiae)

The 3 girls were having a lively conversation there.

This is my room though…

“Here, Makoto. Come and drink.” (Lucy)

“What about the training?” (Makoto)

“You can do it while drinking, right?!” (Lucy)

Today’s Lucy is more pushy than normal.

“Takatsuki-kun, you put your hands on Fu-chan, huh~.” (Aya)

“S-Sa-san?!” (Makoto)

Your eyes are scary!

Furiae-san at my side had a bright red face even before drinking.

In the end, it ended up in a drinking party.

“So, Makoto, are you going to go out with Furi?” (Lucy)

“Aah, Fu-chan too, huh~.” (Aya)

“Hmm…” (Makoto)

Lucy and Sa-san were probing me.

“Wait! It is not like that!” (Furiae)

Furiae-san cuts in.

“Hm? Furi, even after doing something like that, you can’t become honest?” (Lucy)

“Looks like she hasn’t drunk enough, Lu-chan.” (Aya)

“Also! You drink too, Makoto!” (Lucy)

“Why me too…” (Makoto)

The two who were kind in the evening are being scary. 

Lucy and Sa-san made me drink a whole ton.

Furiae-san was also made to drink a lot.

Even when it had gotten late into the night, Lucy and Sa-san were not freeing us.

“…I will sleep here today!” (Furiae)

Furiae-san laid down on my bed.

Oi oi…

“Then I will do that too.” (Lucy)

“I will go get pillows, okay~?” (Aya)

Looks like Lucy and Sa-san will be sleeping here too.

…Why?

“You people, even though you stay the night in My Knight’s room so nonchalantly, why are you two still…” (Furiae)

“Wa?! Isn’t that fine?!” (Lucy)

“T-That’s right. It is because Lu-chan always gets in the way!” (Aya)

“You plan on making it my fault?! You also get in the way all the time, Aya!” (Lucy)

“That’s not true! It is Lu-chan’s fault!” (Aya)

“Fine… I am the one at fault for asking… I’m sleepy.” (Furiae)

The 3 seem to be getting lively.

I lied sideways at the corner of the bed.

It didn’t take long before I couldn’t endure the drowsiness and fell asleep.

◇◇

The next day.

I woke up later than usual.

When I look at my side…Furiae-san was sleeping.

A string of her negligee was slipping off, so I put it back in place.

Further back there’s Sa-san and Lucy hugging each other as they slept.

You two really get along well.

More like, the population of this bed is crazy.

I sat at the corner of the bed.

The Great Demon Lord Iblis is resurrecting today.

I can somewhat tell that the whole city is noisy.

Alright, let’s prepare to go out! 

Just at the moment I was about to leave the bed…

*Bang!!*

The door opened up without even knocking.

“Hero Makoto, the Great Demon Lord has resurrected! Please come to the Holy Maiden Anna’s Great Church at on—” 

The one who entered was Princess Sofia.

““……””

Princess Sofia looked at my face, and then directed her eyes at Furiae-san, Lucy, and Sa-san, and then she returned her gaze to me.

I averted my gaze.

Princess Sofia walks over here.

Cold sweat runs down my back.

Princess Sofia makes me look forward with outstanding strength.

In front of me there’s the beautiful face of Princess Sofia who is smiling kindly…yet there’s a vein popping out. 

“Last night must have been fun.” (Sofia)

“It is a misunderstanding!” (Makoto)

(Liar~.) (Eir)

(Lying is bad.) (Noah)

Eir-sama and Noah-sama retorted.

I pampered Princess Sofia a whole lot, and somehow managed to fix her mood.

  1. uwaa

    what about his view of her being sakurai’s gf

    welp looks like the author just forced things

    if their romance is gonna be like this, he should have gone with his plan of her being the first heroine and didn’t add the drama of her liking sakurai first

    just cause we have a thing where a character was first introduced to be in loved with another character but has come to like the mc(which would others probably call a good character development), means it’s gonna be good, just cause it was refreshing doesn’t automatically make it good

    what vibe I get here is that the mc was a sort of side route, an option if you will, he was the option taken after knowing her first love isn’t gonna pan out, a product of process of elimination, heh what would happen if sakurai pursues her

    if a girl is ntr prone, she ain’t worth it, heck the guild receptionist is better than her in my book, a girl that switches sides can be done right but sadly not here, who knows if she would switch again

    the author really shouldn’t have added that drama if it’s not gonna be done right, if you didn’t feel the mc was treated as option then good for you cause I envy you for having that view

    heh I’m guessing the author is gonna add some stuff in the future chaps to reinforce her appeal as a good heroine

  4. wow did not expect i skip this chap..

    so, will Makoto Finally Notice Furiae Feeling.. i mean she already obviously made an advance that pretty impossible to not notice..

  6. What happened to the forbidden move of Synchro again? I kind of wonder what would even happen if he Synchronizes with anyone with 999 (seen) proficiency.

  9. Thanks for the chapter

    I’ve waited for 3 chapters and have come back now~!

    IT’S HEEEEEEERRREEEEEEE!!!! FINALLY!! FURIAE CONFESSION!!!!

    Glad Makoto’s relationship progressed a bit. He has no qualms sleeping together now. Also since Mary already got her moment in the LN, I wish Janet got one too, especially considering what’s going to happen after this.

    dangit, I can’t write long comments except if it’s a rant

  13. > The beauty of Furiae, in todays modern lifestyle, if she use her beauty to sell something online,
    i wonder how many millions of dollars she will be profiting cause fan boys will buy her wares even though they dont need it…
    Oh by the way, if she will be a streamer, playing cute games, I’ll donate!!!

    > Aya: “For the predator Takatsuki-kun, here’s some bone meat for a late-night snack~.”
    I burst laughing at this… LMAO!!!

    > No offense, but with Makoto’s clear mind, i bet his son down there didnt wake up.
    I think its offensive tot he girls though if his son sleeps for how countless time it is Makoto has been given a sexy time…

  15. Thanks for the
    technically its not a lie all they did was drink they didn’t sleep together so it was a misunderstanding. I’m surprised Makoto didn’t mention Sakurai once considering that was the main reason he ignored her obvious feelings for him.

    1. I can’t remember the exact chapter but it was around 200. She told Makoto that she liked Sakurai at first, but no longer felt that way. Makoto’s response to this was that he hoped she would have a wonderful encounter or something along those lines.

  16. Thanks for the chapter! It’s nice to have a bit of fluff before the big battle. Now it’s to find out whether Sakurai gets stabbed or not. Can’t wait!

  18. The funny thing about this is there is not any difference between this an a fade-to-black foursome. But they keep the joke of Makoto being a virgin and the relationship dynamics of him not having slept with any of them yet.

  19. Thanks for the chapter. Finally, Furiae made her feelings known and actually kissed Makoto, though she needed some push from Aya and Lucy to fully get her point across. Good thing Makoto didn’t screw up by saying something insensitive there. Next chapter seems to be the resurrection of the Demon Lord, so things are apparently kicking into high gear.

  22. Thank you for your work!

    A last, Princess joined Makoto’s “girls company”. So, who’s next? 😉
    Is it time for loli Great Sage?

  23. This dense MC trope is so lame! It’s the one thing that spoils isekai stories more than the “yes man” Nihonjin baka.

  24. finally my princess! well its good i think? if lucy and aya didnt come maybe princess wont sleep with him. the fact that they share a same bed is good development! well… kinda feel bad for Sofia tho. hug and kiss her more!

  30. Really, were this an eroge it’d go something like this :
    – Furiae enters the room, sits on the bed, cue Event BGM Intro.
    – Furiae refutes Makoto’s statement regarding Charm Magic, cue Event BGM as she moves in for the kiss.
    – Lucy and Aya breaks into the room, cue Comedy BGM.
    Something like that 😂.

    So as you’d expect, it’s literally impossible to steal a march on anyone present in the house. Cockblock is inevitable. Still, Furiae calling out the other two about how they still haven’t scored yet is on point and funny too. How unfortunate that Sofia can’t stay in the same home, she gets left out. The ensuing banquet is basically Furiae’s formal joining into the club, no matter how Aya and Lucy acted they’re pretty ready to accept new members huh.

    1. It’s also something to mention that, not only is there two Holy Maidens now, but there is also two big-name otherworlder heroes too. And from there, two Hero-Maiden pairs. The symmetries are also interesting. One hero is the strongest, the other is the weakest. One Holy Maiden is a princess of the hegemonic kingdom, the other is a princess of the most downtrodden people. One hero is of the head goddess, the other is of an imprisoned goddess. One Holy Maiden an oracle of the most renowned goddess, the other an oracle of the most enigmatic.

  31. Wooo!!! Finally!!! That’s about the only way to get through a dense harem protagonist. Of course it doesn’t go any farther than a kiss. Lucy and Sa-san are there to clamjam Furi. Plus Makoto is trying to go the ‘hardcore route’ as he calls it where he doesn’t have sex until the end where he’s beaten the final boss.

    Anyways so looks like Furi has finally accepted and opened up to the whole party. It’s not just Makoto she called by name out loud. She also said Lucy and Sa-san’s names too. For their part, Lucy and Sa-san have accepted Furi into the harem. What better way to foster bonds than to get drunk and share the same bed? Makoto needs a bigger bed though. Also good thing it’s so easy to placate the legal wife Sofia. Just a hug or headpat and some whispered sweet nothings and she’s putty in Makoto’s hands.

    Unfortunately now Iblis has resurrected so there probably won’t be any more time for Makoto to flirt with his harem. Unless it turns out Iblis is a girl in which case they’d also end up in Makoto’s harem somehow I think >.>

  34. Holy Maiden and Oracle: GET!

    I mean, we were already at this point for a while. It just wasn’t official. Sophia really has it rough…
    At least Lucy and Sa-san have made major progress in terms of sharing their husband.

    ….Well anyway, final boss battle time? Leviathan and gods are more secret bosses, I wager.

  35. Girls seriously should create “Friendly Clamslam Club” by now. It is in fact heartwarming how they go with the atmosphere of “welcome to the club, sister!”…Makoto needs a wider bed, Sofi-chan will jump in soon too. Maybe Janet too… And Loli-Vamp…or in her case she should nail her coffin nearby, or get rid of all windows in his room

  36. “Predator Takatsuki-kun” lol

    There are many girls already and there are still potential ones.Like Great Sage,Janet Valentine,Ira(i ship this),Noah(most possible of all these)…Makoto is closing the gap between Sakurai’s “20 people yet most are strangers” harem lol

  37. Good, good. Fu-chan, finally you laid your feelings, huh.
    Makoto really is a gentleman. For a moment I thought we’re gonna witness some to love ru kinda action there.
    Haha, the most easiest to please in his harem is Sofia. Just pat her head, whisper some sweet nothings to her and give her a bright lovely smile. I’m sure she will be easily wooed.
    Anyways, thanks for the chapter!
    (P.S: I have read the time travel theories and at the most I think it’ll probably be true either if great Demon King kills Sakurai and other heroes or if most of the people including his harem is killed.)

    1. And thankfully Makoto doesn’t say anything stupid like “well, that’s what friends are for.” Something like that can only break Furiae’s heart. Y’know, getting friendzoned, despite how the sentence tend to not be used to mean that, at least in WNs.

  39. Finally, Furiae did it. At the very least her intentions came through. Makoto’s misunderstanding is cleared and he knows her feelings. Neither of them can deny it anymore.

    Lucy is sly, she knows Makoto is weak to alcohol and his skills have trouble working under its influence. Makoto has a clear weakness to aggressively assertive women like Rosalie, Mary, etc. That’s probably how Janet will eventually join Makoto’s group. Kabe-DOWN on Makoto by Janet.

    Ah Sophia is jelly. Makoto should kiss her more often. So far five girls. Only Janet and Ira left.

      1. The existence of the female guild receptionist is forgotten. What was her name, again ?
        Maria ? Mira ? Mary ? Yes, I remember… It was Mary.

        It is funny to see that Makoto is weak to alcohol and his lovers have their family name named after alcohol brands (Johnny Walker, Laphroaig, Valentine, Rozès)

    1. Let’s celebrate like in Tsuki !
      On a second thought, they should only do it when Makoto lose his v-card. After that, they should announce it to the whole world. It would be funnier that way.

      1. Well, before the v-card lost first is settle the thing with White Loli, when that’s right then is green light to v-card lost (thought the author most surely don’t gonna do that until the very end).

      2. I imagine if he lost it to someone like Great Sage, there would be formal celebrations around the kingdom. Also utter panic among the big shots, but that’s an afterthought.

  44. Why are these girls getting in each other’s way?
    Just get along and 4… er, there’s Princess Sofia so 5P… wait, there’s also Janet, 6… no no, the Great Sage… argh, 7P it is, then!
    Makoto go explode!

  46. Thanks for the chapter 😀
    What is this, 4 now, 5 if you count Geralts sister?
    His cum reserves are gonna be emptied regularly :l
    Use lube,Makoto! Friction burns there are no fun!

      1. If it makes you feel any better, Mary is at least officially in his harem in the LN. Though she got left in Makkaren to take take of Makoto’s house there.

      2. Eh really, she’s made official in the LN? That she get left behind is pretty sad, but Mary is nice. The harem does kinda lack that ara ara energy.

        Gah, that makes me want a translation for the LN. I wonder if someone will pick it up? If it has to be licensed, please be by a company who will actually translate everything, and who will do it properly please….

      4. @Eternal perspective: Mary is an adventurer guild receptionist from Makkaren that eventually gets officially put in charge of solely Makoto since he’s a hero. Makoto then leaves her a key to his house in Makkaren so she can take care of it when he’s away.

      5. ah thanks @tacos1, its that drunkard who always hugs him from behind right?i really thought she was just a one time character tho

  48. So my prediction for the kiss was right but there isn’t going to be any time travel until after the grand demon king extermination it seems.
    That’s going to be a bonus stage for makoto I guess.
    And Furiae was really cute acting all clumsy and she is obviously inexperienced in falling in love.
    And Makoto seriously should just “explode for a long period of time”.
    I don’t know where I read that expression?
    On another subject I’ll like to bring to everyone’s attention that there is someone translating the light novel version of this novel, they have a pretty good pace and good translator.
    Currently they are on the second volume at the part where Sakurai just defeated the taboo dragon at laberintos.
    The site is cal “it’s a me translation”
    Hope Reigokai-sama won’t mind me advertising others website

    1. Speaking of time travel, there is a passage in the epilogue of the volume 1 of the LN that bothers me.
      ” He’s going to turn our world upside down. You’ll see.”
      It makes me wonder why Noah had so high expectations for Makoto.

      2. Where’d you read the LN? Got the physical copy or is there a translation going on? Share the happiness please. Also, what’s the context of that line? Who is Noah taking to?

        So assume there is time travel, it makes you wonder just how circular the loop is. For one, stuff like the changing statue seem to imply that the impact of the changing past is felt as it propagates, necessitating the existence of original and alternate pasts. On the other hand, if what Noah said allude to that time travel, then either people feel that ripple differently, or Noah can actually look sideways in time, or that the time travel is a done deal and the world is moving in a stable loop. There might be other implications but I’m too dizzy to think clearly now.

      3. The light novel is being translated by Its A Me translations. You can search for it on NovelUpdates. It’s only at near the end of Great Labyrinth arc though.

    2. Oh me oh my. This is how it feels to have the omnipotent power of reading the raws? this feels nice! I feel so powerful!
      I could ruin everyones experience in a couple sentences and nobody would be able to stop me.
      But I won’t. For I am not a bastard. I will only leave you with this.

      : )

      1. Unfortunately for me there were two bastards that ruin it for me already.
        Reigokai deleted the comments but I was unfortunately enough to read them.
        Thank you very much for not doing it too though an be aware that spoilers are strictly forbidden 🚫 in this site

      2. Muhahahahahahahahahahaha SPOOIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEERRRRRR AAAALLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRTTTTT:

        no, it’s nothing

  50. By the time I noticed, Furiae-san’s slender body leaned on me, and her face was so close that it felt as if it would reach my face.

    Her obsidian-like damp eyes looking up at me.

    “Makoto…” (Furiae)

    Furiae-san called my name.

    Clear Mind is active, right…?

    The sound of my heart beating is loud.

    Furiae-san silently closed her eyes.

    Her beautiful face slowly approached, and her lips were pushed against mine.

    The moment I was kissed, I caught a slight flowery scent.

    I held her shoulders, and when I was wondering about whether to close my eyes…

    OUR BOY HAS BECOME A CHAD!!

    Princess Sofia walks over here.

    Cold sweat runs down my back.

    Princess Sofia makes me look forward with outstanding strength.

    In front of me there’s the beautiful face of Princess Sofia who is smiling kindly…yet there’s a vein popping out.

    “Last night must have been fun.” (Sofia)

    Its was the moment that he knew… HE FUCKED UP

    1. A CHAD ? He was always one ! If not, how could he seduce so many women ?
      Did you see the illustration when Makoto smiled to Janet while riding a pegasus ? That smile could probably seduce most women if honed to its limits.

  53. Thanks for the chapter

    ”
    …I am also not that calm.

    Just what in the world was that kiss just now…

    “Now, Furi, looks like you have finally admitted your feelings for Makoto.” (Lucy)

    “I won’t forgive you if you try to wriggle out of this one~.” (Aya)

    ”
    She finally kissed him aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    Then again, makoto still seems a bit dense as seen here. Tho he prob realized it here at this point

    1. Nah, I think it is past denseness here. He feels very little emotions here(and since resurrection in general). Probably negative effect of ClearMind overuse starts kicking in… More so now that he subconsciously experienced a nonhuman heart(being spiritking few days)

  54. Thanks! Nepu!

  56. “Makoto…” (Furiae)
    Furiae-san called my name.
    She finally called him by his name ! He is no longer a mere Guardian Knight to Furiae. He is her lover now.
    Furiae-san silently closed her eyes.
    Her beautiful face slowly approached, and her lips were pushed against mine.
    The moment I was kissed, I caught a slight flowery scent.
    YEEESSS ! They kissed ! Furiae confessed to Makoto !

    “…I will sleep here today!” (Furiae)
    Furiae-san laid down on my bed.
    Makoto laid his hands on a Holy Maiden, and Furiae slept on the same bed than Makoto. Die, you lucky bastard !

    I pampered Princess Sofia a whole lot, and somehow managed to fix her mood.
    Poor Sofia, Makoto should have invited her to sleep with them.

    Furiae-san had an alluring nightwear as she entered my room.
    How alluring was she in her nighwear ?

    https://s1.zerochan.net/Miyu.Edelfelt.600.3116551.jpg

  58. Thanks for the chapter ~

    She’s jealous that she can’t join ehhhh.

    It’s funny how Furi-chan is still not admitting it when she put her heart out already just a moment ago lol… How cute.

    1. Confessing and kissing must have taken a fair amount of courage. Now, she probably exhausted all of it. If Furiae and Makoto are alone, she will probably make her move and push him down. After all, she knows that he is weak to push.

    1. Probably nothing. At most, Sakurai will probably congratulate them. Sakurai left the task of opening Furiae’s heart to Makoto because he knows that he can’t make her happy. Sakurai and Makoto are best friends anyway. If their relationship break apart because of that, it would leave a bitter aftertaste.

    2. It would be nice if Sakurai is jealous. That guy should just explode until he reaches hell. His normie levels are off the chart.

      2. Nah i dont think he would be jealous because of the very fact he knows he is with so many already. Also think its a little unfair to be going the “raijuu explode” route as well. Granted the kid didnt fight it that hard, but he does a lot of political factions forcing women on him with intentions of making as many kids as possible.

      3. The author made us misunderstand the relationship between Furiae and Sakurai. Sakurai was just being nice to her, like he is to almost everyone. Furiae’s gesture are all corrected to be alluring and seductive.

      4. It’d be nice if Furiae stops using her sleep magic to cockblock Makoto in the future whenever one of the other girls wants to sleep with him.

      5. But why would he? From what I can gather it’s like this : Sakurai is the conscientious type who try to save everyone he can. He’s that type, but he’s not the type to stress himself out trying to save people he couldn’t save either. It ties to a second defining part of his personality : he believes in Makoto in such a way that you can argue it’s irrational. He believes that Makoto can do everything. He believes that the people he himself can’t save, Makoto can. He believes that, if he were to fail, Makoto can finish the job. Furiae is the first case of that we see here. Sakurai was never in a position to help her in the long term. Were he to try, there will be a time when he’s called to choose between Furiae and his loyalty to his cause as the Light Hero. If that happens, Sakurai isn’t sure of he can choose properly, if at all. So he entrusts her to Makoto. And when his loyalty is called into a conflict, it was between his duty as the Light Hero and his loyalty to Makoto, to which his answer was easier : he’s Makoto’s ally no matter what.

        Basically, there was probably never any romantic intention from Sakurai’s end of things. What Sakurai did smelled of guilt, an attempt to make up for having slaughtered her people in front of her, and because he realized that Furiae isn’t evil. Furiae was definitely infatuated at the time, but that’s because as she monologued later, he’s the first person to treat her decently as a person. Not because she’s their legendary Moon Oracle (the Devilkins), not because she’s charmed him (everyone else), he just treated her like she’s a decent human being. It’s just that Furiae’s infatuation caused people to completely misread their relationship.

        And honestly, I wouldn’t even call Sakurai riajuu, at least not more than Makoto is. He’s certainly romantically successful in the sense that he has at least three girls who all love him and wholeheartedly support him. But he also has to deal with the pressure of his position. And his harem of around 20 people? Only those three actually mean anything to him, the others are duty. About the only point in which he’s certainly more successful than Makoto is that he gets laid, but again, that’s something like 85% (17 of 20) duty for him. I kinda suspect he’d be much happier if he were allowed to just tag along with Makoto wherever.

      6. You don’t call a guy who’s been laid with more than 20 girls including 2 of the most beautiful girls in his class and made most of them pregnant, dated a college professor, and is always the center of attraction a riajuu? Even if he wanted it or not, that doesn’t change the facts. Hachiman and Kazuya must be very confused with your definitions of normies.

        I know I’m just hating this guy for absurd reasons but even if he is kind right now, he might change later. The author could decide to make him a demon king for all we know. Remember Makoto’s favorite game? He said that the hero turned into a demon king later on. This might be a foreshadowing by the author referring to Sakurai. Of course this has not yet happened but still, the possibility is there. The point is, the story is still moving and until something big happens, this is my stance.

        1. Totally agree on first part, so let’s wipe our tears of jealousy envy and hate…
          As 4 second part, you know, you gave me an idea. Sakurai getting stabbed (prophecy), being on a death bed, and Makoto using his Philosophers Stone(loot from immortal king DL) to save him. And as side effect turning him in a demon lord (in name, same personality)

      7. man, what is wrong with you? do you ACTUALLY take this “normie vs virgin” shit seriously? it’s so, so childish and immature. wishing people dead because they’re better than you is childish af. don’t be an anime trope irl. chads are good people.

      8. When I say I hated Sakurai, I mean it as a figure of speech. If I may clarify myself, the hate I mean is not the loathe or detest type but more on the avoid or don’t like a bit type. I’m still skeptical about him. You know what I mean?

        And have you even seen my comment of this thread? I thought it was obviously written as half joke, half serious and many took it seriously. The first part of my reply was just a bit of questioning on his definition of riajuu. I even added references to other characters since I thought it was a bit funny. Besides that, my reply may have given the implication of hating chads but I don’t. I live my no life and real life separately and I obviously don’t wish for people to die due to being a chad. I actually admire them since I like to hear their stories. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Hmmmm this is turning a bit unpleasant so yeah. Peace!

      9. You can’t hate Sakurai based on future speculation. Especially turning evil and becoming a demon lord. As for hating him for being a riajuu, well I don’t see any problem since thats definitely a joke.

      10. tl:dr
        I pitty Sakurai more then anything. As described, he is nothing but a tool for others. He has basicly been forced to become a weapon and breeding stud. While many think such a lifestyle would be great, after a while it would loose all the glamor you’ve attached to it. It becomes just another job you were told to do, rather then something you did because you enjoyed it.(end tl:dr)

        Just as youve done above, i think you’re misunderstanding me as well. While Sakurai certainly does have a harem and many children either on the way or already born. If you think about it, i cant really say he is really succeeding at life, least not by my definition. Other then maybe the two classmates, who among his many brides and partners treat him more then just a fucking post? Of the many children he will father, i wonder how many he will be actively involved with. And lets not go down the dark halls that are killing innocents because politicians told you to.

        There are always the sociopaths that will say stupid shit like “no risk, all rewards” but is that really succeededing in life? Call me a cynic, but to me the life Sakurai leads is nothing but sad. He will never be able to be a real father. He will always be treated as a tool. And after a while, his current lifestyle will leach practicly any enjoyment out of the actions you all envy him for. Not to mention the horrors that will plague his nightmares.

      1. F*ck it. This is the only canon I’m accepting now. Makoto is actually building a ‘Homie harem’ and the regular harem is a disguise.

    4. Nothing will happen with Sakurai. OK he may have had some feelings for her but he’s not stupid. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to truly make her happy and open up her heart so that’s why he tasked his best bro to do it instead. He has enough trust and faith in Makoto to be able to do that.

    6. Nothing with happen with Sakurai.

      Even if he was a little be interested at first, he already handed her over to Makoto and has shown no jealously towards Makoto since then.

    7. for some reason, I imagine Makoto still doesn’t realize that she likes him. she didn’t directly say it to him and it was only lucy and sa-san harassing him about it. I think it’s a 50-50 shot on him being too dense to realize it.

    1. “Last night must have been fun.” (Sofia)

      “It is a misunderstanding!” (Makoto)

      (Liar~.) (Eir)

      (Lying is bad.) (Noah)

      Eir-sama and Noah-sama retorted.

      I pampered Princess Sofia a whole lot, and somehow managed to fix her mood.

      Ahhh this line is so funny 😂😂. I can imagine.

      1. Makoto pratically laid his hands on a new woman without the consent of the legal wife. Speaking of wife, Makoto is pratically one of the most influencial of the Western Continent. He will marry Furiae, so he will basically become the king of the new Moon Country. He will also marry in the Rozès royal family, the Walker household and the Valentine household (if the author plans to add Janet to his harem).
        So much alcohol… (Rozès, Laphroaig, Johnny Walker, and Valentine are all alcohol brands)

        1. Talk about high variety brands 🤣wait what great sage. Well if he marries them then his political power is on par with the king of one kingdom ( well he has 2 kingdom as his wife) 🤣.

          1. He probably will have a goddess or two(3?more?) added to the mix. Ira the lewd loli, Eir…if she can manifest not through Sofia, Noah obviously as main wife(she is Makoto’s most important)

    2. Reading this chapter, makes think that this is chapter in the novel so wholesome. Feeling it deeply , why do feel that something bad will happen.

      1. Finally, she went and did it. Kind of lukewarm for a confession, though. So basically, he can’t get away with anything around Lucy and Aya. Now, I believe Aya is number one wife andI don’t care what anyone else says. The gigolo doesn’t know if he’ll survive the Demon King. Should have at least procreate or lost his V card. Thanks for the chapter, Reigokai.
