WM – Chapter 268: At the time when Takatsuki Makoto woke up…

I slowly opened my eyes. 

I could see a dim ceiling.

My body is heavy. 

My memory is hazy.

I was fighting something, and we fell into a dire situation…

“You have woken up, Takatsuki Makoto-san.” 

Someone called my name.

When I look over there, I see a small gray haired girl standing there. 

She is the Destiny Oracle. In other words…

“…Ira-sama?” (Makoto)

“No, I am not. I am currently Esther.” 

“…Esther-san?” (Makoto)

I look intently at the girl that called herself that. 

I have never spoken directly to the Destiny Oracle Esther-san because Ira-sama was always descended in her.

“Now that I think about it, this is our first time talking, right, Takatsuki Makoto-san? Thanks for your hard work in the battle against the Demon Lord.” (Esther)

Hearing those words, I went ‘Ah!’ and hurriedly got up.

But my body was awfully heavy. 

“Guh!” (Makoto)

“Don’t. You must not push yourself. Your heart was pierced, and your arm was cut after all.” (Esther)

I am slowly beginning to remember. 

We faced Demon Lord Bifrons. 

We were supposed to have fought in the daytime where we would be at an advantage, but because of their magic, we ended up falling into a dangerous situation, and then…

(…If I remember correctly, my heart and arm should have been cut by the scythe of the Demon Lord.) (Makoto)

I confirm my own body, but my heart is moving and both of my arms are attached. 

I was relieved by this, but several points that bothered me were popping one after the other in my head. 

“…Esther-san, what happened after I lost consciousness? Where are we? Also, where’s Ira-sama?” (Makoto)

Esther-san smiled at my barrage of questions. 

Her expressions are gentle. 

It is pretty different from Ira-sama. 

“I will answer them one by one, okay? First, thanks to you bringing back the sunlight, the Demon Lord Bifrons was safely defeated by the Light Hero. Just as it was originally in history.” (Esther)

For a second I couldn’t understand the meaning of those words, and I slowly digested them.

The Demon Lord…was defeated?

“…I see.” (Makoto)

I exhale and feel strength leave my body.

Looks like I safely managed to fulfill my mission.

That’s a relief…

(But I would have wanted to witness that important moment.) (Makoto)

I have heard the story of the legendary Savior-sama defeating the Demon Lord countless times in the Water Temple. 

Even though I was present at that moment… What a shame. 

It would have been a nice story to bring back to Lucy and Sa-san. 

“Aren’t you thinking about quite the carefree thing there? You were in a critical state and didn’t wake up for 3 days, you know?” (Esther)

Esther-san retorted amazed at me. 

“3 days?!” (Makoto)

It has been that long?

No wonder my body feels dull. 

“I will answer your next question, okay? We are in the city in Laberintos. The Ancient Dragons led by the White Dragon-sama carried everyone here. The residents are in a festive mood from defeating a Demon Lord.” (Esther)

“I see…” (Makoto)

Now that she mentions it, I could hear things are noisy out there.

What’s with that? Everyone was partying while I was sleeping?

I felt a bit sad by that, but it would be weird to not celebrate after defeating a Demon Lord.

I should show myself there too. 

“About the third question, the Destiny Goddess Ira-sama is currently…” (Esther)

*Gashan*

I heard the sound of something breaking.

“M-Master…?” (Momo)

“Makoto-san…?” (Anna)

Momo and Anna-san had their mouths wide open.

Looks like they were bringing water here. 

The cups that had the water are broken now though. 

Seems like they two of them were looking after me. 

“Anna-san, Momo, sorry for worr—” (Makoto)

“Waaaaaah!” (Momo)

“Makoto-san! What a relief! You have woken up!” (Anna)

The two jumped at me before I could finish speaking, and I was pushed down onto the bed just like that. 

Having the weight of two people on my weakened body was rough, but I couldn’t complain. 

Seeing the expressions of these two, I could tell that the two were worried about me the whole time I was out. 

Anyways, having Momo, who is no doubt a pretty girl, and Anna-san, who is a beauty just like Princess Noel, hugging me for such a long time is making me nervous. 

Their faces are awfully close…

I waited for the two to calm while still being hugged. 

“Haaaah…I am sorry. I lost myself there. I will go call the White Dragon-sama and Johnny-san. They were all worried after all.” (Anna)

Anna-san left the room.

 Momo was still hugging me. 

“Uuh…I am so glad… Master is still alive…” (Momo)

I pat the head of Momo.

“Let’s continue our talk at a later time.” (Esther)

Esther-san said this as she looked at our state. 

“No, I want to know what happened after I lost consciou—” (Makoto)

I want to know in detail.

But I couldn’t finish my words.

“Makoto-kun!” 

“Spirit User-kun!” 

“Makoto-dono!” 

The residents of Laberintos came one after the other. 

Johnny-san and the White Dragon-san are here too. 

“Everyone was worried, you know? Please talk with them.” (Esther)

Esther-san smiles. 

Looks like I will have to talk with everyone who I have worried first.

I staggered a bit, but the wounds in my body have fully recovered, so I left the room with a bit of rehabilitation in mind too. 

When I went out into the dungeon city, cheers rang. 

“The Hero-sama has woken up!” 

“The Savior-sama!” 

“The personage that defeated the Demon Lord!” 

(No, I didn’t defeat him though…) (Makoto)

When I look back, Anna-san was all smiles. 

I’m not even a Hero though.

I feel like I stole the credit. Is that okay? 

“The biggest contributor to this time’s battle was you, Takatsuki Makoto-san. That’s the opinion of everyone in this city.” (Esther)

Esther-san whispered in my ear. 

Did she read what I was thinking? 

“I simply did what I could do.” (Makoto)

“But the lives of the people here were saved by your actions.” (Esther)

Looks like everyone is more grateful to me than I thought. 

More and more people began to gather around me. 

When I told them I was hungry from having woken up after 3 days, they brought me a mountain of food. 

It is scarce and important food, you know…

They even brought out the alcohol one after the other. 

I ended up being the center of the party in an instant. 

I was asked about the Destiny Magic that I used to face the Demon Lord. 

If I say I synchronized with the Destiny Goddess Ira-sama, they will think I am crazy, so I just went ‘I don’t remember’ and washed it away. 

I would be flooded with questions if I stayed in one spot, so I went around greeting my comrades. 

I went to the place of the chief of this city, Johnny-san, first. 

He was being surrounded by beastkin warriors and beauties. 

“Makoto-dono! All the young women of this city are head over heels for you. You can make whichever girl you want into your wife.” (Johnny)

“Hahaha…” (Makoto)

It is rare to see Johnny-san speaking so much.

I can’t tell whether what he is saying is serious or not, so I just laughed vaguely. 

The next place I headed to was the seat of the White Dragon-san.

“Spirit User-kun, you are one outrageous man! In my 10,000 years of life, this was the most excitement I’ve had!” (Mel)

“I am honored to hear that.” (Makoto)

The White Dragon-san was having a meal with the other Ancient Dragons.

She is also in really high spirits.

“Hey, you bunch should also become like the Spirit User-kun!” (Mel)

“Please don’t ask for the unreasonable, Mother-sama…” 

“That was God Rank Magic…” 

The Ancient Dragons were washing off the unreasonable things that the White Dragon-san was saying. 

Mel-san is probably drunk.

The third place I head to is the place where the Heroes are gathered.

It seems Momo is also with them.

“Thanks to you, I have managed to keep my promise. Thanks, Makoto-dono.” (Volkh)

“I would have liked to celebrate together with Olga-san…” (Julietta)

When I went to greet Volkh-san and Julietta-san, they were unexpectedly solemn. 

“That’s not good, you two. We are celebrating here.” (Anna)

Anna-san was cheerful. 

She is completely different from the time I met her. 

“Haah…I still can’t believe it.” (Momo)

Momo was sitting spaced-out. 

She was nursing me the whole time, and it seems like she has now relaxed completely after I woke up. 

I felt bad, so I silently sat by her side. 

“Makoto-san…uhm…when you have some time later, there’s something I want to talk with you about…” (Anna)

Anna-san whispered to my ear. 

“Okay.” (Makoto)

What is it? 

I think it is most likely her thanking me for defeating the Demon Lord.

She is looking at me with a meaningful gaze, but I couldn’t tell what it is. 

After finishing my greetings, I was a bit tired, so I got up from my seat. 

The celebration was still going strong. 

I leave the place by using Stealth.

At the time when I was walking slowly towards the underground lake that didn’t have many people…

*Splash*

The sound of water splashing and a ‘Kyaa!’ resonated.

(Eh? Did someone fall?) (Makoto)

Someone might have slipped cause they were drunk.

I looked back to call for someone at once, but the others were all at the party. 

Most of all, if someone falls into the underground lake -into water- I should have no problems saving them.

I hurriedly head to the underground lake. 

It is dark and hard to see. 

“Dia.” (Makoto)

I call the Great Water Spirit. 

“Yes, Our King. I have been waiting for you to wake up.” (Dia)

The Great Water Spirit showed up with a smile on her face.

“Someone has fallen into the underground lake! Search for them at once please!” (Makoto)

“Yes! …Oh? From what I can see, there’s no one though?” (Dia)

It seems like she can tell the state of the underground lake in an instant as a Great Water Spirit. 

But I did hear someone falling though…

“Hnn…I drank too much~.” 

The Lucy-looking elf. 

If I remember correctly, she is the daughter of Johnny-san. 

Even though she can’t hold her liquor, she still ends up drinking too much. That reminds me of Lucy.

I was worried, so I was going to get close to speak to her, but…

“Kya!” 

She slipped.

“Water Magic: [Surface Walk]!” (Makoto)

I immediately cast magic on her, and stop her from falling inside the water. 

“Are you okay?” (Makoto)

“Eh? W-What…? Makoto-sama? Oh no, I have shown you an unsightly side of me…” 

“That was dangerous. Be careful.” (Makoto)

Saying this, I was about to move around the underground lake. 

“…Makoto-sama.”

But the elf girl grabbed my arm and pushed her body (mostly her boobs) onto it. 

“Uhm…can you escort me to my room…?” 

“Eeh…” (Makoto)

I shook.

Her damp eyes were truly just like those of Lucy.

(Am I feeling homesick…?) (Makoto)

There was a part of me that had my heart shaken more than before. 

If Noah-sama were here, she would say ‘Not taking the meal in front of you would be shameful as a man!’.

“Am I…not good enough?” 

I am weak to those eyes.

I reflexively said ‘that’s not the case’ and she blushed happily. 

“Then, please come over here…” 

She wrapped her arms around me, and I was about to get dragged off…

“Makoto-sa~n.” 

“Master~?” 

Anna-san and Momo were standing right by my side by the time I noticed.

Teleport? 

“O-Oh my. Hero-sama and Momo-sama… T-This is…” 

“I was on my way to escort her back to her room because she was about to fall into the underground lake in her drunken state.” (Makoto)

I explained the situation. 

“Then, I will escort her.” (Anna)

“Aah, I want Makoto-sama to…” 

“No! Makoto-san is tired!” (Anna)

The elf girl and Anna-san left.

“Master, are you the type that easily goes with the flow?” (Momo)

Momo looks at me with a straight glare.

Looks like the contents of the conversation were completely heard. 

“More importantly, someone might have fallen into the underground lake.” (Makoto)

“Eh?! That’s terrible.” (Momo)

I try to change the topic by talking about the sound from before to Momo.

Dia appeared there.

“Our King, I searched every nook and cranny of the underground lake, but there wasn’t anyone. No doubt about it.” (Dia)

“…I see. Thanks, Dia.” (Makoto)

I thank Dia.

There was no person who fell into the underground lake. 

Then what did I hear? 

There’s only one possibility coming to mind.

—The one who was supposed to fall into the underground lake was the elf girl.

(Destiny magic… Clairvoyance…) (Makoto)

I have heard about it from Furiae-san before.

Visions of the future can show up regardless of your will.

But the Destiny Magic I can use is from the Elementary Rank, so I shouldn’t have that ability.

Did something happen to my body? 

“Uhm…Master?” (Momo)

“Momo, I am tired for today, so I will rest in my room.” (Makoto)

“I will come along!” (Momo)

Momo and I spent a night in our room at Laberintos which we haven’t been to in a good while. 

I was going to sleep on the floor like before, but Momo was against it. 

She told me to use the bed since I just recovered. 

But I can’t have her sleep on the floor while I am sleeping on the bed. 

It was a pain, so we both slept on the same small bed.

It was cramped, but I soon fell asleep. 

◇◇

I woke up. 

(No…I haven’t woken up yet. I am…still dreaming.) (Makoto)

But it isn’t just a regular dream. 

And it is not the space of Noah-sama.

It is a place I have no recollection of. 

A gigantic space that extends as far as the eye can see with a high quality-looking carpet. 

It is a strange space that has doors and bookshelves flooding this very spacious area. 

There’s a whole lot of books scattered at my feet. 

Can’t even say it is clean even by courtesy. 

But what drew my eyes the most wasn’t that. 

It is the various cute stuffed toys here and there that are moving

Fancy plushies like bears, rabbits, cats, and dogs.

They were moving around busily as if they were alive. 

I was absentmindedly looking at those for a while.

At that moment, one white rabbit plushie came over to me. 

It bowed and began to guide me with a gesture as if saying ‘over here please’.

After thinking about it for a bit, I followed after the rabbit plushie.

I pass by the many plushies that are restlessly working. 

I eventually see the place we are headed to.

At the place I arrived at, there’s an elegant desk and chairs. 

Looks like the lord of this space is in this place. 

There’s a small girl lying there.

I could hear steady breathing. 

There’s also a whole lot of small bottles scattered about at her feet. 

I pick up one of them and check it. 

The label on the bottle says ‘Yu**kel’.

In other words, Earth origin.

Or more like, you are drinking too much. 

Are you a salaryman working in a *black company*? <A company that overworks their employees in an unethical manner>

The rabbit that finished guiding me left. 

It can’t be helped, so I spoke to the girl that was sleeping.

“Uhm…Ira-sama?” (Makoto)

“Hah! That’s not it! I am not sleeping! So don’t tell Althena-oneesama! …Wait, Takatsuki Makoto?” (Ira)

Ira-sama got up with quite the speed, and after looking around restlessly, she saw my face and heaved a deep sigh. 

But she immediately made a serious face.

“N-Nice to see you have come. Great work on the subjugation of the Demon Lord. I have called you here because I had something to tell you.” (Ira)

Ira-sama elegantly crossed her legs, and floated in the air to look down at me. 

I am in the presence of a Goddess, so I kneeled and lowered my head.

And then, I pondered for a bit. 

Should I point out the drool around her mouth?

  1. thanks for chap
    oops i think she might have gotten punished rather i am curious now ,is the esther 1000years ago same as the one in mc’s original time?
    and can’t she read his mind about the drool?lets see,did mc get her divinity a little bit

  2. Eeeh. So it was resolved just like that? I feel like when I accidentally skip the boss-defeated cutscene…

    Looks like Anna’s rearing up to finally confess. Dense boy Takatsuki isn’t gonna see it coming despite literal future sight.
    Which…I guess he got out of that sync? What happened? Did his proficiency get a stupid boost? Fair enough, I guess.

    He did match pace with a goddess. The Destiny Goddess. Ira. Are we actually meeting her true form for the first time here?

  3. Figures. I really wanted to see Anna defeat Bifrons too. What a draaaaaaaaag~
    Ah well. Looks like we still have something to look forward to. Anna seems like she’s going to confess. Makoto will likely never see it coming. Will he simply reject her or will he explain? Will we finally get to see him reveal his true origins to the party? I’d kinda like to see that.
    The issue with his lifespan should be temporary ok. There was still the system where they got lifespan back for achievements as well after all, just not much compared to was the Sacrificial technique does. I’m sure vanquishing the demon lord counts for a decent amount of time, so he’s not going to drop dead any day. The big question is, what are the after effects of the synchro? Hopefully Ira has some answers, though considering her track record I’m a bit concerned. I hope she can also find out how Bifrons was able to do it without doing something as extreme as channeling a god’s power………

    Thanks for the translation!

  4. Thanks for the chapter~!
    I’m gone for a few days and the battle is already over. That was fast.

    Next up will be world building and explanation chapter I guess.

    Also I’ve just checked. Apparently author’s answer to reader’s comment has been deleted except for the new chapters. Because I remember at this chapter, there’s someone who asked “Makoto only has 3 days, what happened to that?” and the response is “Just wait for future chapter, I’ll address it.”

    Questions and responses that have been deleted (that I remember):
    R (reader): Who’s the user of Sa-san’s hammer in 1000 years ago?
    A (author): I forgot about that plot. i wonder what’ll happen.

    Me: Maybe it’ll be retconned in the LN or manga

    R: Did Makoto bring Bifrons stone?
    A: No. The one who’re holding it is his future party members. Either Sofia or Furiae.

    1. R: Did Ira gets synchro’s side effect just like Sofia?
      A: No. Side effect only applies because of the difference in proficiency. Goddess Ira holds the highest proficiency in fate magic.

      I’ll try to remember others. As of now, only these I’ve managed to remember, and the others have already gone and deleted from chapter page, except the one in ch283 (the newest). Others who can remember and have read the raws, please add.

      As this is not a spoiler, though it might be extra world building stuff that’ll be addressed and perfected and the cure for plothole.in other completed adaptations like LN or Manga.

  5. So apart from being OP in water magic, now he will become OP in destiny magic… okay.

    AHHHHH COME ON!!! Give me more of Noah x Makoto. If I’m being honest, my favorite ships for Makoto are the goddesses

  6. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    Seems like Ira’s worst ennemies are Makoto’s crazyness and the ensuing paperwork. x)
    My bet is on Anna confessing when he goes to her room.
    The more things goes on the more I’m thinking that Anna might end up pushing him down and creating the sun country’s royal familly bloodline.
    Really looking forward about what kind of things Ira and Makoto will discuss. 🙂

  7. Given that RPG Gamer gave the choices… It should be a very important thing to consider, like…
    Syncing with a Goddess might even end up as a different pact that now ties Ira and Makoto together. ~~And Ira is actually overworking to prepare for the “grand welcome”~~

      1. Cuz otherwise there would be no way she could be in this part of time, even elves can’t live 1000 years. We also know Rosalie is weaker than Momo, and I don’t think the Great Sage can time travel, so I would say that it’s not like she time travelled to be in the present

  8. Thank you kami-sama. Thank you donator angels.

    My guess he fo the impossible once again and become the apostle of multiple if not all the goddesses.

  9. But I can’t have her sleep on the floor while I am sleeping on the bed.

    It was a pain, so we both slept on the same small bed.

    It was cramped, but I soon fell asleep.

    – With all the other stuff happening in this chapter, I just noticed Momo taking advantage of the situation.

  10. Thanks for the chapter!
    All this love makes up a bit for the offscreen battle… Makoto, I feel you!
    Ira’s so cute! Takki so dense as usual… is Anna going to confess? Will we know how much lifespan Makoto got and if he got any new power as it seems likely?
    As usual, hyped for next chapter!

  11. Ha~ Makoto and his skewed priorities. Instead of being relieved he ain’t dead, he’s just bummed that he wasn’t able to see Bifrons’ defeat.

    Anyways Bifrons learned that one shouldn’t anger a waifu. Now he paid with his laifu. Well then Makoto probably got a lot of lifespan from this since he was the single greatest contributor to the fight against Bifrons.

    Looks like Ira is no longer descending on Esther. She probably got punished for helping Makoto which would be total bullshit. Not only did she have no idea that Makoto would sync with her and break some divine regulations, but the enemy side has also clearly broken the rules first. Typhon’s side are messing with time and yet the Olympians aren’t saying anything about that while they most likely also punished Ira. On another note, I’m starting to wonder if Esther isn’t like a line of artificially created humans or homunculus made specifically so Ira can descend perpetually since the two we met are both named Esther and have the exact same grey hair.

    Anna is asking Makoto to see her later in private? Is she about to confess? Will this be where the story about “Abel” going all “I love Emilia.” and telling Anna that there is someone waiting for him? Well I doubt Anna will accept his excuse. Makoto -like most harem protags- get no say in what their harems want.

    Looks like Makoto probably got a huge boost to his destiny magic from syncing with Ira. I wonder if the vision he got and subsequent saving of the Lucy lookalike will have any far reaching consequences in the future? Another option could be that the clairvoyance he got isn’t about the near future but about the distant future since we don’t know how far clairvoyance can go once Makoto’s proficiency goes up from syncing with Ira and the Lucy lookalike just coincidentally was about to be in a similar situation to the clairvoyant vision. I mean we know Lucy and Sa-san in the future are exploring Laberintos and there’s no way they won’t stop by the underground lake since Sa-san’s home used to be nearby. Like maybe Lucy and/or Sa-san screw around and fall into the lake and that’s what Makoto heard with destiny magic and that it might give Makoto an idea to later leave a message or instructions near the lake for them.

    So Ira’s place is filled with cute plushies? That sounds about right. Also looks like she did get punished by being given way too much paperwork that she needs a bunch of energy drinks. Well her sleeping and then waking up with drool is adorable. It’s going to give me diabeetus.

  12. Ugh can’t wait for the future interactions that would happen especially after all the changes Makoto brought upon in this timeline plus the carnage of seeing Makoto surrounded by Momo, Ira and let’s be honest here there’s no way Anna would let Makoto go so she should be a part of Makoto’s home coming as well. Thanks for the chapter 😍

  13. Urgh, i’m really worried what happened to Ira. even she forgot her own Persona.
    since she can share Memory i believe sleeping till drooling is bad for her image, while Some Gentlemen will treat it as Gap moe.

    Also i’m curious about Makoto Soul Book, what happened to his Lifespan and Destiny Magic Profiency

  14. The synchronisation effect probably wouldn’t affect Ira like some people are thinking, his proficiency probably isn’t that high yet. Plus, she’s already part of the harem anyways.

    Ira must be returned to the god realm because she’s going to be hassled by all the other goddesses for helping Makoto to that degree, even though she didn’t plan to. She is still hiding that she is permanently descending into Esther after all.

    I’m surprised that she is able to summon Makoto though, I thought only gods that only do that for apostles and oracles, although I don’t remember that being explicitly stated. I wonder if there is some weird connection between Makoto and Ira right.

  15. Stupid thought I had: Makoto was knocked out for three days…who took care of his (non-sexual) lower functions?

  16. Thanks for the chapter, really appreciate it.

    Looks like the punishment for Ira was just paperwork. A lifetime paperwork.
    If it’s about the drool, Ira-chan can hear your thoughts.

  17. Thanks for the uploads as always!

    Ira is floating in the air with her legs crossed…… I’m guessing she’s wearing a dress. Cause our mc is def gonna stare a hole right through her panties. Which shows she isn’t on the level of eri or noah yet since they have a shiroyasha type of magic that makes it so can almost be seen but aren’t visible.

  18. I’m kinda surprised Bifrons defeat took place offscreen thought it makes sense question is, did they kill him or seal him? Makoto kept his clairvoyance from the synchro, how scary his he gonna get?! Ah yes as expected of the divine disappointment and our number one ship girl she never fails to deliver and Makoto always seems to forget that simply thinking it is already announcing it. The future is gonna be very interesting to see how it changes or equally interesting if it doesn’t, not to mention everyone’s reactions when they meet each other cuz let’s be honest there is no way Anna isn’t following him into the future and I wanna see Mel and her family there too

    1. If you think about it, Bifrons nearly killed Makoto. If Anna really likes our protagonist…she’s not going to let that go.

    2. Bifrons is dead. Just not super dead. Otherwise he wouldn’t be RESURRECTING in the future. If he’d just been sealed then they would have just said that they were breaking the seal on Bifrons. Well there was a seal but they said it was placed on his corpse.

  19. 3 days…the last time he met Bifrons, he was taken out for a week. Amazing what divine intervention can do.

    1. To be fair to Makoto, the first time week was from accidently getting looked at by Setekh while they were talking.

  20. Ira was so cute there… hahaha
    Also, if Makoto already had an uncontrolled clairvoyance, the move/advancement of any girls to him can be seen slightly, though we had a adventurer MC here, the clairvoyance will only shows an RPG style flag of advancement of any girls to him which is more welcome to me as it gives more Moe to the story.
    Also, i wonder synchronization together with Noah will what effect it will brings to. For Ira, its time magic, for Noah, since she was called an evil goddess, maybe she was actually a hyper active goddess that will give an absurb aura or adrenaline boost to his followers or to the one she was synchronized with

  21. Well no wonder. He was a beginner with Destiny Magic and just synchronized with Ira and went throwing a God Rank spell. His proficiency should be already near divine.

  22. Let me guess, Ira ran away from Esther because she didn’t wanted to get the side effect of Synchronization (there was a thing about it making people fall in love IIRC), and Esther took the full burnt of it. Although we all know she’ll ultimately fall too :p

    Thanks for the chapter.

    1. Nah Ira was still connected during that 100% she cant escape the harem, I’m waiting for her to tell Makoto to “take responsibility” seeing as we already had the legendary “kill me” line a few chapters ago heheh

    2. There was no side effect. It was just that if one synchronizing individual had an efficiency stat significantly higher than the other, the lesser synchronizer will feel great pleasure from the synchronized magic. Ira was probably fine, Makoto too, probably.

      I would say Makoto might have been in danger of getting NTR’d from Noah if he didn’t set clear mind to 100%, but that is a guess.

  23. I was about to say that he now can see the future, but he said it before. I imagine two things, 1: Is that his skill Destiny Magic leveled to Saint Rank or something like that, 2: he now have a deep connection with Ira, a connection in the level of a pact.

      1. Since we don’t know what happened with the pacts (because of the time travel), specially with White Loli we don’t know if this still work, added to the fact that Noah break the sould pact of Makoto, now he potencially could have all his pact available, if the pacts of future still work then he can currently do the life pact, sould pact and other pact that right now I don’t remember.

  24. Ira is adorable. She needs headpats.
    That aside, looks like Makoto has leveled up his Destiny magic. Most likely from coming into contact with Ira’s mana.

    I wonder how Laberintos will be changed once Makoto returns. Momo will definitely cuddle with him. Will the Ancient Dragons still be living with people? I do hope Anna also gets with Makoto. Maybe she goes to the future with him then after establishing the Empire and ruling for a while…? Noel would be his great-whatever granddaughter then. Lucy will also have a massive amount of more relatives now that Johnny’s current kids didn’t die.

    1. Hohh, so she buys it, on earth then. I don’t think a mortal drink will help a goddess, oh well she’s a goddess so he modify it😂🤤

    1. Maybe that’s what the talk is about? Good catch.

      I’ve been wondering how high up the power ladder he’ll climb. Comet fall being mentioned as interplanetary magic, Athena’s domain being all of the solar system, zeus as a background character jumping up and down the realms to be naughty, makoto’s presence in Goddesses Land being itself proof of different worlds… how cosmic will this story get!? Or will there be a power reset of some kind?

      Maybe Makoto got some divinity rubbed off on him. A smudge of vitriol or ichor that is keeping him alive, that’ll grow with him. Open new horizons…

    2. Yes, but the Goddess’ award lifespan for heroic actions. Just killing goblins can award you a trickle of life span, so what about being the biggest factor of victory against a demon lord and his army?

      1. I can imagine that the lifespan gotten from the Goddesses is nerfed in the past, because the Goddesses have less power there. The sacrifices still being as rewarding makes sense because the lifespan doesn’t actually come from the Goddess, it’s just Makoto’s share of the sacrificed soul.

      2. @the der discohund maybe, we can’t know for sure either way, but the point is he isn’t in immediate danger

    3. He probably got a decent amount of lifespan from contributing the most towards Bifrons’ defeat along with the thousands of familiars of his that probably died when Makoto made the sun return.

  25. And then, I pondered for a bit.
    Should I point out the drool around her mouth?

    So a goddess still sleeps and with a drool 🤤. That’s not very goddess like. 😂😂

  26. Thanks for the chapter!

    And then, I pondered for a bit.

    Should I point out the drool around her mouth?

    This is pure gold!

  27. Oh no! Makoto is getting NTR’d by Ira away from Noah!

    ……. like that’s ever gonna happen lol. Be careful Ira you are officially part of the harem now.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  28. I am in the presence of a Goddess, so I kneeled and lowered my head.

    And then, I pondered for a bit.

    Should I point out the drool around her mouth?
    lol

    1. So is what Ira going to say serious or will it be:
      “You have greatly worried me Makoto. And also increased my work. But you only have 1 day left.”

      But this is what I want to happen:

      “You have syncronized with a god, you have to take responsibility. You are now also my apostle (or something similiar).”

      And I will be happy!

      1. Yeah, the word press won’t notify me when a new chapter is out I don’t know why. And the troublesome school works pile so I quite busy these days.

    1. ““Now that I think about it, this is our first time talking, right, Takatsuki Makoto-san? Thanks for your hard work in the battle against the Demon Lord.” (Esther)”
      So we finally encounter the Destiny Oracle !

      ““I will answer them one by one, okay? First, thanks to you bringing back the sunlight, the Demon Lord Bifrons was safely defeated by the Light Hero. Just as it was originally in history.” (Esther)”
      So Bifrons was defeated offscreen ? What a shame.

      “I have heard the story of the legendary Savior-sama defeating the Demon Lord countless times in the Water Temple.
      Even though I was present at that moment… What a shame.
      It would have been a nice story to bring back to Lucy and Sa-san.
      “Aren’t you thinking about quite the carefree thing there? You were in a critical state and didn’t wake up for 3 days, you know?” (Esther)”
      What a nutcase. He is only vexed that he couldn’t see the Demon Lord being defeated.

      ““The Hero-sama has woken up!”
      “The Savior-sama!”
      “The personage that defeated the Demon Lord!”
      (No, I didn’t defeat him though…) (Makoto)
      When I look back, Anna-san was all smiles.
      I’m not even a Hero though.
      I feel like I stole the credit. Is that okay?
      “The biggest contributor to this time’s battle was you, Takatsuki Makoto-san. That’s the opinion of everyone in this city.” (Esther)
      Esther-san whispered in my ear.
      Did she read what I was thinking?
      “I simply did what I could do.” (Makoto)
      “But the lives of the people here were saved by your actions.” (Esther)
      Looks like everyone is more grateful to me than I thought. ”
      “Savior” title get ! Just admit it, Makoto, You are the Savior. The legend of the Savior Abel is all about you.

      “(Destiny magic… Clairvoyance…) (Makoto)
      I have heard about it from Furiae-san before.
      Visions of the future can show up regardless of your will.”
      So what the hell happened to Makoto ? Side effects from synchronizing with Ira ?

      “It is the various cute stuffed toys here and there that are moving.
      Fancy plushies like bears, rabbits, cats, and dogs.”
      So Ira likes cute things ? Why not.

      ““Uhm…Ira-sama?” (Makoto)
      “Hah! That’s not it! I am not sleeping! So don’t tell Althena-oneesama! …Wait, Takatsuki Makoto?” (Ira)
      Ira-sama got up with quite the speed, and after looking around restlessly, she saw my face and heaved a deep sigh.
      But she immediately made a serious face.
      “N-Nice to see you have come. Great work on the subjugation of the Demon Lord. I have called you here because I had something to tell you.” (Ira)
      Ira-sama elegantly crossed her legs, and floated in the air to look down at me.
      I am in the presence of a Goddess, so I kneeled and lowered my head.
      And then, I pondered for a bit.
      Should I point out the drool around her mouth?”
      KAWAIIII ! Just who in the world is that adorable creature ? She isn’t the Divine Disappointment, right ? She can’t possibly be this cute. All hail Makoto x Ira ship !

      A Ponkotsu little sister who is drooling, huh.

      1. Ira is far too adorable even the author is starting to play favorites giving her so much time with Makoto. I’m pretty sure the clairvoyance is from the synchro with Ira as I remember him asking her if she saw the same future he could when she told him to stop meaning that during that time he was able to use her ability of clairvoyance. Makoto is gonna get even scarier in combat if he can start foreseeing his opponents moves

      2. it really is too bad that makoto x noah is the main ship since Ira has so much better chemistry with him. it will undoubtedly end in a harem, i just really hope that ira is allowed to be part of it.

    1. “Makoto-san…uhm…when you have some time later, there’s something I want to talk with you about…” (Anna)
      Anna-san whispered to my ear.
      “Okay.” (Makoto)
      What is it?
      I think it is most likely her thanking me for defeating the Demon Lord.

      Nah it’s Anna’s confession that will come next chapter! I bet Makoto will reject her by saying that he already has someone waiting for him just like in the original story. Poor anna.

      —The one who was supposed to fall into the underground lake was the elf girl.
      (Destiny magic… Clairvoyance…) (Makoto)
      I have heard about it from Furiae-san before.
      Visions of the future can show up regardless of your will.

      Hou, could it be that he already mastered destiny magic? so just like after he turns into spirit king when he obtained 999 magic level proficiency. Congrats dude, you leveled up again! wonder how much proficiency he has now.

      “N-Nice to see you have come. Great work on the subjugation of the Demon Lord. I have called you here because I had something to tell you.” (Ira)

      Ira-sama elegantly crossed her legs, and floated in the air to look down at me.
      I am in the presence of a Goddess, so I kneeled and lowered my head.
      And then, I pondered for a bit.
      Should I point out the drool around her mouth?

      Just like usual, the “Divine Disappointment” certainly looks adorable when she shows us her clumsy side.

        1. Imaginary scenario:
          Ira: That plushy is too cute and soft ! I could cuddle it all day ! Let’s see what name I could give you. I know ! I am taking the “Ma” from Makoto and the “I” from Ira, so your name is Mai !
          Makoto: Hmm, Ira-sama, what are you doing ?
          Ira: Eh, Makoto !? That’s not it ! Forget what you saw at once !
          In that scenario, Ira-chan is like a mother who is deciding the name of their child.

          1. If really ganna happen, then I’m going to buy medicines for diabetes😂😂🤤

      1. there’s an off chance that they read his book while they were asleep, although I imagine that esther would have tried to prevent that. and it’s great to see Ira in top form being disappointing again. I imagine she has to inform him of his remaining lifespan though, because unless something happened while he was synced he should only have a day or two left to live at most.

      2. You know the kind of feeling you get when reading a novel stuffed with fluff? And it’s so unrealistic you facepalm while smiling?

        Me reading this comments thread: *hearts facepalm*
