Hm…
Three demons huh. I don’t know what bigshot of which country she is from, but if she has demons infiltrated in her own escorts, that’s dangerous.
The woman that suddenly talked to me, looking at her heavily armed escorts she was bringing along, that’s how I thought. In the past, I met the demon general Rona-san who was disguised. It is probably magic, but there are three demons that are most likely using the same spell and infiltrating the hyumans. Is it affecting the vision or is it affecting the perception, I wasn’t told which it was, but whichever it is, it doesn’t work on me. This time as well, I see them perfectly.
Their looks are completely different, so it is obvious. Just the skin color makes the difference clear.
“In this place it seems there’s no need to mind about the public gaze and we can proceed smoothly”
“…..”
Looks like this woman hasn’t noticed that there’s demons mixed in. If she really is using them while knowing full well about their identity, she would at least not bring them here in a place filled with international figures. It would be like bathing in gasoline and participating in a campfire.
In this world it is difficult to gauge the age by appearance, so this woman that has brought me outside of the party’s main hall, I can’t tell just how old she is or in what position she is in. I can tell she is an important person by the atmosphere of the surroundings.
The music that was played in the hall can be slightly heard in this salon-like place we are in. In the space with no people around, there’s only me, the woman, and also the escorts.
“You guys, leave for a bit. Let’s see, if there are people trying to enter here, tell them to please not. Something like that”
Saying so, she points at the entrance. A pure white skin that even looks unhealthy, slender arms and legs that make you hesitate to grab them. If someone asked me what kind of person she is, I would without doubt answer: ‘a weak-looking person’. Also, it strangely makes me feel nostalgic. This should be my first time meeting her though…
[I am sorry. Since I a while I have been thinking but, no matter what, I can’t seem to remember you. Have we met somewhere before?]
It would be a problem if rumors run around that a teacher made a disturbance in an event, so I wanted to get this over with in a quiet manner and followed her all the way here. It looks like the other side knows about me, but I don’t remember her. That doesn’t feel right. Could it be she just one-sidedly knows about the company’s Raidou? Or did she learn about me from someone else? Well, it does seem she has some business with me to the point that she cleared out the people to speak with me.
“Written communication… Ah, no, this is our first meeting Raidou-sama. I was interested in you, that’s why I invited you in this way. When having escorts it just gets exaggerated, I am truly sorry. Please do forgive me for that, as it is something I can’t help because of my position”
A single word. With just that, she was able to accept written communication huh.
Information about me must be leaking around more than I thought huh. Well, it is better to have people know than to explain every time though.
[Now then, before enquiring about the reason of that interest, can you please tell me first the position you are in and your name? Not knowing the name of the other party when already facing face to face like this just doesn’t feel right]
“… You are right. I am from the Lorel Union and one of the people taking care of the priestess-sama and kamuro, name is Sairitz. About our Lorel Union, how much does Raidou-sama know?”
Priestess and kamu… ro?
If my memory serves right, in Lorel, they are existences that are extremely important. The priestess is the fulcrum of the nation’s spirit and the kamuro is one of the prospects. When hearing kamuro, my head writes it as ‘baldness’ which means a prostitute’s apprentice though. But it seems the meaning here is a lot different. It is not about prostitutes and courtesans but about aiming to be a priestess. The impression is different. And, when talking about Lorel…
[Actually, I have never been there and I don’t know much about it, but I know that it is the union of three regions to become a nation, and the person called priestess is a woman that possesses strong power and a person that is able to interact with several high spirits. I have heard that the words of the priestess have power even in political fronts, so in Lorel it is quite the status. Also, because the relationship is closer to spirits, the religion is stronger towards spirits than to the Goddess. What I know of it is that… they have a peculiar culture and excel in the crafts department]
It is famously known that Lorel possesses several unique techniques. Even if I say they esteem the spirits, that still ends up in being affiliated to the Goddess, so I haven’t learned too deeply about it.
Their techniques are highly skilled, and there’s a symbol called priestess. My impression is on that level.
“… I am surprised. You really know well. You must have studied well. Have you thought about opening a business at our country as well?” (Sairitz)
[Of course, if it’s allowed, I will in time. I have just begun my business, but I have big dreams]
“I see. At that time, please do give me a word. I will assist you” (Sairitz)
[Thank you very much]
The conversation stops. With a smile, the woman promises me her cooperation. While maintaining a gentle smile, she looks at me with narrow eyes as if gauging me. It feels like I am being appraised here. Looks like she doesn’t mind my outward appearance, so maybe she is searching for anything she can find out. It feels like she is surveying every inch of my body.
Lorel Union.
It is one of the four major powers and a country I have never gone to. Different from the other three countries, the Union is a collection of several powers into one country. It seems the three small countries gathered under the name of the priestess. In terms of map location, it is at the south side of the golden highway we crossed, it is at the other side of the high mountain range where the Inland Sea should be. No problem in thinking of it as Shikoku.
Other aspects would be that they seem to possess a peculiar culture, but maybe because their national character is a closed one, there doesn’t seem to be much information around. That’s why their characteristic techniques and the existence of the priestess stands out even more.
Culture, priestess, highly skilled techniques. When hearing just its characteristics, I feel like it is similar to Japan. If the priestess is replaced for something like his Majesty the Emperor, then it would fit perfectly.
Maybe because there’s three countries gathered, it’s a nation that its race is not uniform. Their skin and hair color have quite the variations, and it seems there are few that mind it. It does hurt that there’s not much information around, but it is a country I would like to visit at least once.
Oops. The issue right now is not that. It is about why she got interested in me. Is it me, or my store? That’s the first thing that is in my mind.
“But there truly are curious things huh” (Sairitz)
The woman was the one who broke the silence. Being all smiles, I can’t read what she is actually thinking. The power of readings memories, if it were to activate at this kind of moments, it would be very helpful!
[What is it you are trying to say?]
“You, who said that you have never visited Lorel Union, for some reason, are using something that only a few selected are taught” (Sairitz)
Something? Using? Lorel possesses highly skilled techniques, so maybe it is related to the eldwas?
“At the Kuzunoha Company’s sign, there are two characters written in it right?” (Sairitz)
Ah, well… I did write kanji in the wooden sign though.
“That’s the writing of the wise. From the four major powers, no, in this whole world, there’s only a few in Lorel that know of it. Why is it used in the name of your store I wonder?” (Sairitz)
Writing of the wise you say? That’s kanji and it’s used by us Japanese.
[That is one of the writings I have been using since small. It is indeed mysterious. I came from the border’s wasteland, but maybe someone from your country came to the border’s wasteland and taught the writing? It’s not like I know all the characters in detail you know. It’s also my first time hearing the name ‘writing of the wise’]
It was probably an otherworldler that came to this world and taught them kanji in a strange way. But I have the all-powerful and convenient word, wasteland. From my experience here, most of everything can be resolved by saying this. In a sense, I am being saved by the wasteland.
“An interesting opinion. But that’s impossible. In the case the people who know the writing of the wise, head outside the country, the information regarding it will be all recorded. From the people that have done so in the past, there’s not a single one who has travelled to the wasteland” (Sairitz)
What?! This is the first time she retorted. Also, records she says? In this world where most of everything is done sloppily? I am surprised she can be so confident about its certainty.
Then, next hand.
[But I do know how to write it and am using it. Then it must have been someone you didn’t know of that put his feet on the wasteland. In everything, you must prioritize the facts. As long as this fact exists, someone must have taught this writing]
“True. I have to accept the truth properly. Just as you said, there might be the chance the writing of the wise was taught at the wasteland. But I have a slightly different thought in mind”
(Sairitz)
[Let’s hear it]
“The writing of the wise, as the name implies, is the writing that the wise possess. In other words, if it’s a clever and wise one, it wouldn’t be strange for that person to know it from the very beginning” (Sairitz)
Wise she says. Could it be, as in sage?
[You are overestimating me. I am not so clever to be called a wise man. I am just a mere person that opened a store]
“… Raidou-sama. The wise differs a bit from the word sage. The wise possess impossible knowledge that’s respected. We just call it that way” (Sairitz)
Eh? The turn of affairs is strange?
[I don’t understand your meaning well]
“The wise is a general term used for people that are not even from this world and have come from a faraway place. What I think is that you are also a wise-sama. Am I right?” (Sairitz)
Wise stands for otherworldlers huh. What a troublesome name they have placed. It is an enclosed country that’s why the details of it can’t be fully understood just throughw documents, so well, can’t be helped.
Kanji is the writing of the wise huh. That store name, I was thinking about using it as a conversation starter for the time the heroes hear of it by word-of-mouth, so I didn’t think too deeply of it. Who would have thought that the kanji already existed, moreover, it is pretty classified information. I do think kanji is a peculiar writing, but I don’t really think it is such an important thing to be made classified information. Because you know, it is just writing. In a world where most places use the common language and numbers, I really don’t think it should have that much value.
Anyways, it seems right now I am being suspected of being a wise huh. No need for doubts, that’s actually true though.
What should I do? Admit it or feign ignorance. As long as I don’t know the objective of this woman, I feel like feigning ignorance is the better choice.
“Ara, is there no answer? Also, there’s another reason why I think you are a wise-sama. That is, your name. My name is Sairitz and the accurate writing is written like this” (Sairitz)
I maintain my silence (I was actually just thinking about how to handle it though) and without hurrying me, the woman named Sairitz stood up, walked to my side and placed a finger on the table.
The slender finger shines and the kanji for color and ritz are written. She didn’t actually use ink, it just followed the trace of her finger. Oh, it is written correctly. More than Japan, it’s a name that might fit China better.
“And my family name is like this. It may be an unnecessary explanation, but it is read as Kahara. Kahara Sairitz, that’s my full name. In Lorel, the wise-sama are greatly adored and most of the people have similar names. The name giving is done in the spirit temple, we call it Yashiro. There, many parents that have given birth to a child will go there to ask for names. They give out several options that fit the child, and the parents will decide on which, is how the custom goes” (Sairitz)
Hana and then hara, making it Kahara huh. So even the way it is read starts from the family name. Practically the same as Japan. To the point that I think the name Aya Tadashi doesn’t sound female-like. The kanji is not spread widely, so when placing names, they leave it to the people related to the temple. She said it is called Yashiro, so it is probably someone like a Shinto Priest that uses the knowledge to place some options. Even though they serve under the spirits and the Goddess, are the priests in Lorel allowed to study kanji? She did say only a few selected, so that may not be the case, but it must be troublesome.
“There are also times when the names of the wise are used exactly the same. That’s proof of how much those personage are respected and adored by the people, but the name Raidou-sama also resembles the names of our country, is what I think” (Sairitz)
…
“Also, your face features as well. It is thought that the wise-sama are people that are born from different seeds than us hyumans. The wise-sama, more than their appearance, what’s inside proves of more importance. There are records saying most wise-sama didn’t have a beautiful outward appearance” (Sairitz)
Oioi, is that true? There’s a country that has truly made contact with otherworldlers. Is that the reason why it is enclosed? Being all secretive about it, that’s not fair Lorel. Are the techniques also the result of the concepts of our world? The part where they are aware the hyumans and humans come from different seeds makes it sound pretty convincing. Leaving aside all that about the inside being more important than their appearance.
[Is it okay to tell such an important thing to someone like me? I am, you know, not a wise though]
“Are you misunderstanding us Raidou-sama? We think of sheltering the misfortunate wise-sama that receive unjust discrimination in this world” (Sairitz)
Misfortunate huh. From what I heard of Root, the people that came here from our world are mostly because of accidents. It seems they know quite a bit.
“It may be fine right now, but in time, you will face problems. If it’s Lorel, we will welcome you with open arms. We intend to do what we can for you” (Sairitz)
[This is a problem. It seems there really is no reason for me to be sheltered by you. If I find a wise-sama, I will suggest them to go to your country]
“… Looks like you won’t trust us huh. Understood. I will leave it at that for now. It isn’t something that can be rushed after all” (Sairitz)
Maybe she could tell that my attitude went stiffer, or maybe she thought the matter would not progress. She pulled back pretty easily.
“Right, Raidou-sama, there’s something I would like your opinion about. Is it okay?” (Sairitz)
[If you are fine with someone like me]
“The two heroes that the Goddess-sama uses. We think those two are also wise. Raidou-sama, what do you think of the heroes?” (Sairitz)
[A question I have no way of responding. I am sorry but, it seems my opinion will not be useful. I have never met them before, so there’s nothing I think of them]
Without bringing any dissatisfaction in my answer, Sairitz-san silently stood from her sit. Bowing once, she turns back and walks to the salon’s entrance.
“I see. Ah, right, right” (Sairitz)
After breathing out a big sigh of relief after being released from the tension, Sairitz-san talked to me. Without waiting for my response, she continued.
“Raidou-sama’s store sign, it’s lovely. The Kuzu referring to medicine and the Ha for the plants. Is your current strong point medicine?” (Sairitz)
[It’s the name of a plant, not the character for medicine. Well, it is not wrong to say that I want to spread medicine though]
“… As I thought, you know the writing of the wise well. Before returning to my country, I would like to meet you again. Well then, excuse me” (Sairitz)
Ah.
Why is it? I feel like I have lost in some way.
There’s no reason to stay in the salon that has only me now. Let’s return to the hall.
Previous Chapter l Next Chapter
I’m actually surprised that he doesn’t tell her about the demons.
so most Japanese youth get kidnapped to otherworlds by mostly Truck-kun…
Sad story
What i do not realize is in truth how you’re now not actually a lot more neatly-favored than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You recognize therefore significantly in relation to this subject, made me in my view believe it from a lot of numerous angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved except it’s something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. Always maintain it up!
Heroine lvl princess comeeeeeee
“… I am surprised. You really know well. You must have studied well. Have you thought about opening a business at our country as well?” (Sairitz)
For me what he said is just the common sense though.. Well it isn’t the first time so i’m used to it now.
“Raidou-sama’s store sign, it’s lovely. The Kuzu referring to medicine and the Ha for the plants. Is your current strong point medicine?”
Yep what a lovely name when kuzu sounds like trash (kuzu)…
.
Es bastante estúpido que makoto se considere “un chico de otro mundo” siendo que sus padres son hyumans, es mas, es bastante estúpido tambien que sea feo y tenga rasgos asiáticos siendo que sus padres son hyumans, lo que me hace llegar a la conclusión de que makoto es adoptado o su madre engaño a su padre o viceversa, o tal vez la bendición de la diosa hace que todos nazcan hermosos y como en la japón y el mundo no llegan las bendiciones de los dioses, a este no le llego y nació como siempre debieron nacer en el otro mundo, FEOS xD.
Por favor, si se va a quejar de este comentario en español, sepa que yo utilice el traductor de google para estar al día con la novela web, no sea un imbécil y por favor sea civilizado y tolerante.
Why does he always sidestep when it comes to important things like “Tomoe, why are you so adamant about capturing this fortress? Is there some special reason?” and “Sairitz, can I ask why a number of your escorts are demons?” I feel like they are pretty important points, but he just blatantly ignores them. I really don’t get it. It feels so unnatural. It’s almost like the author is leaving out clues to future events the wrong way.
In conversations Raidou is the complete opposite of Satou…
I’m not sure but the description says (based on what I can read at least) is that he (Erumugand)
“is the second son of Hop.. hope..lace errmm… Hoopureize?? house (family / clan)” I really suck at translating stuff lol
Girls are always like this , they just meet you up and say that you are so ugly that you looks like an alien fron other world =(
Is it Limia’s second prince? What was his name again?
pic 7: the name of the guy on the right most side is Erumugando or something that sounds like it…
Description says something about him being Limia’s….. something.. (too blurry for me lol)
and him (doing something?) in Rotsugar…umm.. Rotsugard?
Pic 2 isn’t Hibiki’s party. That’s Rembrandt with the moustache and maybe the butler on his leftt? I don’t know who the one on his right is. Maybe Lime?
Pic 3, that’s Akua with the bow, Eris is the small one and and Mondo is the big one.
Pic 4, not Rona… Princess Lily, I think.
Pic 5, yeah.
Pic 7, Two of them are Jin and Shiki. The other one might be Lime because he resembles the guy in the 2nd pic behind Rembrandt. The art is just fancier, but they look the same.
Now that I think about it. The one I said was the butler looks too young, so he might be that adventurer that’s from Toa’s party that helped Makoto make the medicine for Rembrandt’s wife and kids. Can’t rember his name…
Oh, I had forgotten about saying this: I finally, finally know the meaning of the company name! XD
Thanks for the chapter
I think that Makoto did pretty good in his conversation n with the Lorel priestess went pretty will. I wouldn’t know how to get out of this conversation other then dining it or misdirecting the conversation. He could have found to back it up latter on. The only part that was the problem was the last part were he responded to the priestess last comment.
Makoto could have avoided that whole conversation if he only said that 1 of his followers wrote the sign…..
Is it too much of a spoiler if i ask that has makoto lost his V-card yet in the RAW’s? If yes, no need to tell with who or when. i just want to know if the MC has the guts to do it 🙂
Btw, is it possible to you to translate this and add it asa “character info” or somthing like that?
http://infown.blogspot.fi/2015/11/characters-tsuki-ga-michibiku-isekai.html
random me!!! dont know if im right aahahaha
Pic 1: Beren, ema , toa and her sister rinon
pic 2: hibiki’s party?????
pic 3: Trash-kuns party??????
pic 4: shiki, sofia, lancer, maybe Rona
pic 5: eva, Ruria, Jin???
pic 6: Sif Rembrandt. Yuno Rembrandt., jin
pic 7: Root, dont know who the other two
please tell too if im right or wrong plss, i want too know, im just guessing
@MªrÇTyS
I can’t reply to your post so it’s here. I’m only listing characters, if it’s their first appearance in the pictures.
Keep in mind that I can’t guarantee that I’m correct.
Pic 1: Beren, Ema, Toa, Rinon, Mio, Makoto, Tomoe
Pic 2: Lyme Latte, Rembrandt, Hazaru(the alchemist from Toa’s party)
Pic 3: Akua, Eris, “Shisho” (they’re the forest Oni) and Shiki on the right side
Pic 4: Komoe, Lancer, Sofia, Lily(the princess from trash heroes party)
Pic 5: Jin, Ruria, Eva
Pic 6: Sif, Yuno
Pic 7: Root and though I really don’t know who the one on the right is I think he is one of the students from Makotos class
@Pengge
The last one you could not get on the far right of the last pic is someone that has not shown up yet. It seems to say something about Limia royalty sent to academy to check into things. He might end up in Makotos class but there is no way to know with out reading ahead.
Well, even if they could bring more people, I don’t really see why there’s a need.
Compared to Makoto’s subordinates, Rembrandt has more experience in business and dealing with people. He was the one doing the introductions, so I don’t see the need for Shiki or Tomoe to be there.
The thing with the woman from Lorel wasn’t even that bad. In the end, she was more interested in Makoto than the company and tried to confirm it. Even if he denied it skilfully, she was already convinced.
In terms of being a bodyguard, Makoto could do it alone. So in the end, what’s the use of them being there if they wouldn’t even serve a real purpose?
@exitus02
It was explained in the previous chapter that he was just a substitute for the butler and was brought to the party as a guest/bodyguard by Rembrandt. Normally he shouldn’t be there because it was only for high class people. So, he can’t just bring along his own subordinates, when he himself was only standing in for someone else.
Having Shiki or Tomoe pose as a second bodyguard should’ve been no problem. I mean, look at the girl from Lorel with her whole entourage, there is no way that the limit for bodyguards is set to 1 per guest.
but considering the fact he feel useless compared to his followers, he probably want to do things by himself, and since he is introduced by Rembrant, he wouldn’t be all alone at that time.
You can’t exactly use that Lorel girl as an example, especially since her position (in her country) is probably high enough to warrant that kind of thing. Also, bringing a bodyguard probably wouldn’t change things. Makoto brought Shiki with him when they visited the church, and looked at how that ended up (especially with that female bishop/leader).
He was invited by Rembrant-shi, this does not mean he has the right to invite other people. Its possible he could have brought them if he had asked Rembrant for permission but considering it was an event to celebrate the daughters progress (along with other students) bringing some other females would have been out. Although Shiki might have been safe to bring he would have been imposing on Rembrants hospitality and it might have been rude to him.
Out of curiosity, when you are invited to a party are you in the habit of inviting a couple more friends or asking for permission to do so? Doing so might work at less formal occasions but this was formal occasion.
thanks for the chapter ^^
Thanks for the Chapter!!!
i kind of wish that he would have told her about the demons (just because it would have been funny for me)
Minor Error.
“Wise stands for otherworldlers huh. What a troublesome name they have placed. It is an enclosed country that’s why the details of it can’t be fully understood just throughw”
Just remove the “w” placed by accident. ^^ Otherwise thanks for the chapter.
Did no one ever tell this girl that leading questions are evil? I dislike her already… Don’t care about the demons though, since Makoto is a neutral entity to this whole mess, so it doesn’t matter whether there are demons or not.
leading question are evil and you dislike her for that? you must live in a really peacefull environnement to antagonise for so little
It’s my first impression of her. And people that use leading questions have, in my expierience, little trouble using even worse tactics.
There’s a word for people like her, politicians.😆
That’s a nasty word young men, go wash your keyboard and fingers with some soap right now !
Thx 4 the chapter.
Is it just me to think that the MC is really naive?
Considering that he’s 16-17 years old and trying to build a business while dodging a deity, in the middle of a war zone, while trying to manage his own dimension with three retainers far older, while maneuvering between various sovereigns who want to use him for their own ends, I think he’s doing not bad so far.
Of course when I was his age I had been reading Machiavelli, Sun Zhu, and von Clausewitz, but I’m weird. And slightly evil.
Can I have you as the MC of this novel? Would seem more interesting in various ways. 😀
And why didn’t he bring Shiki or Tomoe with him? It should’ve been obvious that he would meet noble’s and other merchant’s here, and he himself should know best that he has a rather abysmally low chance of not screwing up somewhere without Shiki or Tomoe as to back him up.
He tells himself constantly this very thing, but if they don’t “force” themselves onto him, he will just go without them. It’s rather frustrating to read, honestly.
You wouldn’t happen to be considering world conquest, would you? I am soon to require new employment, and if you are looking to fill positions, I would most definitely be willing to make myself available.
Oh I see. Thanks, I didn’t considering his situation
When a person calls himself weird. You know there will always be more to it.
Why would this chapter make you think that MC is naive?
He completely didn’t trust the Lorel and refused to admit to being summoned from another world. Even though it was really obvious.
And when he was interacting with Rembrandt last chapter, he was well aware that Rembrandt was helping him.
He still doesn’t trust the dragon Root. He never trusted either the church or the demon Rona.
He’s kind of cynical actually.
I know that he doesn’t trust anyone so easily right now but in my opinion, he is really bad for lying or hiding something. It’s just like he provided information that is highly sought after by his opponents accidentally but he doesn’t try to get more information from them
Well, yeah. It takes years to really learn how to do it effectively. And Makoto is trying to learn it on the fly while competing with experienced politicians. It’d be weird if he could already do that.
Well yeah, he is bad at lying and dealing with people. Naive isn’t the right word if that is what you mean.
Oh u’r right, I’m sorry. So, what is the right word if its not naive? @moridin84
Well, he -was- a perfectly ordinary sheltered high school boy before. He doesn’t have any experience with guile and subterfuge.
Huh, for some reason none of the other replies were displayed. Oh well.
The thing is. Even after a millenia of life experience, Makoto devotees will still repeat the same excuse over and over again.
Inexperienced.
From peaceful Japan.
Young.
And other stuff, to defend his chastity.
It’s like the guy can’t do anything wrong, mistake or be foolish. He’s hailed as the perfect being. So any criticism or derogatory is frowned upon.
Athough I agree with one of the posts, “naive” isn’t the exact word to describe his “trip” just now. It won’t really affect him much even after he got lead by the nose. He can just blow those Japanese wannabes to the afterlife if they antagonize him.
I’m not the type to defend a character to no end. But personally considering the character the story has built him up to be so far, he acted within the way he was expected to. You say he’s being hailed as a perfect being? You’re the one expecting him to make no mistakes at all, do you want him to be a perfect being? That would be much less realistic and less enjoyable. In my opinion I would enjoy him to be a little less “perfect” than he is betrayed to be right now.
You say he got lead by the nose? Well he is in a completely different world where he can’t talk to humans so realistically what else do you expect him to do? Abandon everyone he know’s or meets and somehow try to learn the language by himself, alone? Antagonise everyone he meets for no sensible end result? Become a dictator over his people even though he doesn’t know much about the world? Well if so I’m sorry the story doesn’t fit perfectly into your unrealistic expectations.
Aha, what on earth are you even going on about – “even after a millenia of life experience”, “Makoto devotees”?
Baselessly imagining what other people think, and basing your arguments on what you made up. That’s what you’re doing.
Why should he – on an intellectual level – be on even standing with high ranking people who have been educated in politics their entire life, or with beings who have live for centuries and even millenia?
Quite simply, you are annoyed that people disagree with you, so you are putting words in their mouths. Yes, Makoto has flaws. That’s pretty obvious. It’s also kind of boring to hear some people criticising him whenever possible. Just relax and enjoy the story.
Well in the first place, I didn’t intend to criticize makoto. What I really mean is why did he still playing ignorance even after he lives on this world for a whole year. Well he is makoto after all and thank you for sharing the opinion. Oh right, thanks for the fast chapter Rei-dono 😀
he was naive, at least until the azora accident resulting death of people. he tought he could deal with whatever will happen, and didn’t consider people can be greedy and evil. he reflected on it, and tried to change.
But here, it’s more he is just not very smart. he is average, and not very experimented in political discussion and other.
he said it himself, he has a hard time follow fast discussion, and can’t follow when there is many subjects.
She knows too much! Kill her!
Thanks for the chapter.
Interesante capitulo sin duda Makoto cayo en la trampa de lleno
Thanks for the translation
Anyone else get the feeling that she wants him for her harem
He should’ve just dropped the “your retainers are demons” bomb at the end, but in the most innocuous way: “What a progressive country you are, you even employ demons in such high positions!”
Makoto is right to be as cautious as he is, but considering the priestess was pretty much in control of the whole conversation, it might’ve been appropriate to shake her up a bit.
He is neither supporting the hyumans nor the demons, he prefers to let them play their war games and espionage without getting involved as long as it doesn’t affect his business
He was trying to bluff being a nobody. Telling them of the demons would be stupid. If he didn’t care about hiding his identity so much, then he could’ve. I also would’ve enjoyed seeing him point it out, but he must play his cards realistically in such a situation. I suspect he might ask the demons in secret later though.
It would have made him look even more of a fool if he mentions her retainers are demon and turns out, “so what?”, she was well aware. Without knowing Lorels standing between Demon and Hyuman race.
Makoto even properly considered such options even though he didn’t care.
Which is why I said he should do it in an innocuous fashion, and keep playing the fool. The priestess already seems to know quite a bit about him, knowing that her retainers are demons is something that could sway her quite easily: even if she knows and is alright with it, the other countries won’t be happy. It would let Makoto steer the conversation away from himself and give him a bargaining chip in the future. (Just like he did with Rona.)
I guess he could sway her by doing that but, I for one doubt it. I mean, based on her shown personality she doesn’t seem to be the type to lose track easily. She strikes me as a more of a “in control”-type character, although I could be wrong for people who read ahead, like Koyomi Hiiragi.
Makoto needs to be the type who isn’t, well, Makoto himself for him to catch her off guard in a conversation, much less information warfare. As it stands, the only thing I think can penetrate her facade is his jawdropping Godlike-ness raw powers. Holding fair grounds in conversations seems beyond him.
I seriously doubt that that will work. You also have to consider the possibility of them having information concerning otherworlders. If Makoto pulls that kind of stunt, then it’ll be further proof that Makoto is ‘more than he seems’ and’ll just draw more attention from her and her country. ‘Playing the fool’ isn’t going to help much when Makoto has proven himself to be somewhat capable (especially if they was researching him and what he has done); and what you’ve stated can be turned around and used by her in the same fashion.
Thanks for the chapters.

I got an extremely bad feeling about Sairitz, like if Lorel took otherworlders and forced them into slavery or something.
the Lorel people read it “Kuzuha” ?
why don’t he tell that the name read is “Kuzunoha”?
thank you!
because that Sairitz person baited him. And he magnificently fell for it. As usual.
They also read it wrong. In the previous chapter a person says “kuzuha?, What is the writing of my lorel doing here?” Suggesting that they read it differently or wrongly. Though I have to wonder why he wrote in kanji or why he fell for that so easily.
No. This was in a “higher” standing than the previous person. As have been mentioned by her, there are only a few who has knowledge of it. Unless you are telling me, they all have the same proficiency regardless of their standing in Lorel. I still have no idea what role that guy assumes but, Sairitz is one of the people assisting(?) the Priestess.
At least that’s how I take it.
The sign probably reads “葛葉 Kuzunoha” with the “kuzunoha” written in the local language. The 2 kanji, if read seperately, read “kuzu” and “ha”. Most locals would assume that the kanji are just a picture of some sort, sort of like a makers mark. If he had taken the time (and thought of it) it’s possible that he had slapped the kanji on the packaging for all of the products his store sells.
It shows 葛の葉 I think.
Yep, the reading and structure of the kanji used was explained by someone a few chapters back. And also cleared by Makoto in this one.
Stay away from this country, they have demons infiltrated in high places, right next the big shots, and don’t even know about it…
Actually… Makoto’s currently visiting there in the raws at the moment.

Wait you have 10001 different truck kill switches?
10002 really, one had to be used for Train-san.
Wait did you forget bus-tachi?
That was where truck kill switch 9005 was installed.
Wow, that was great! I am more and more hooked on this arc! Thanks for the chapter!
P.S. Now for some dancing?! XDDDD
Oh, and: you really took her bait, didn’t you “Raidou”? XDDDD
I’ll never understand why can’t this OP MCs just say… “F*ck off with your annoying questions… I have things to do” and leave?
Somehow they always end up answering meddlesome questions when they don’t “really” need to do so…
If someone asking you, you need to answer it.
but if they asking you to nude, you can ignore 🙂
I hope you ment rude, cause that’s an interesting image.
If someone ask you to be nude in some rooms you need to ignore that request,unless its doctor about to examine you.
If you ask me to be nude, then I’ll call the cops.
Again, this is not a xianxia.
The MC only want to get home and not diaturbed by the bug.
Where did you get this?
I’m pretty sure he took the world transfer by himself, willingly, in place of his sisters despite being informed by Tsuki-sama that he would no longer be able to go back.
Ofc, there’s a talk of a magic for going back but since the risks are much more higher, he wasn’t keen on it for the time being. I don’t recall Makoto telling them to research for it.
I may have misinterpreted that”go home” part but i already posted so wtv XD
Well that would be rude and the main character isn’t a rude person.
actually there are several reasons why Raidou couldnt do what you said.
1. she is clearly one of the higher-ups for her country. telling her to F*ck off would antagonize her which would ruin his chances of having a store there. plus there are demon body guards there so unless he fights he cant escape her. he wont fight cause he doesn’t want the Bug to notice him.
2. he doesn’t want any attention brought upon himself since if it comes out he is a wise he could be forced to fight. and if he refuses he could have the trash demon eye holder and the Yuusha attack him.
3. as his fight with the water dragon and dragon slayer showed he might be OP but doesn’t know how to fight very well. he could bring harm upon his people if he becomes an enemy of a country or the world
4. it’d embarrass the merchant dude thats been helping him and Raidou doesn’t want that to happen
5. if he told her to f*ck off after she asked her questions that’d answer her questions AND make her his enemy. people with power dont like to be told to f*ck off
also to reigokai the TL-san there was a mistake on a line.
you put “face features” it should be “facial features”
few little details to correct (numbers will be the same)
1. She doesn’t seem to realize there are demons there so they likely wouldn’t expose themselves
2. I might be wrong about this, but she said nothing about Wise being inherently strong and only that her country protects Wise people
3. he does know how to fight (his parents were expecting this so they had them all study martial arts) it’s just that the dragon and dragon slayer(dunno if she really qualifies as the dragon she killed is still alive) were just better due to experience
4&5. I agree with these : )
this is for jaclea. had to reply to my own comment since i cant comment to jaclea’s.
1. the bodyguards would still try to stop him if he tried to leave if she ordered them to.
2. true she didn’t say that but we know he is beyond OP right now and if she became mad she might expose him as a wise which would make other countries try to either lock him up or force him to fight for them
3. im not saying he doesn’t know how to fight but that he doesn’t know how to use his magic power efficiently. also ealy on it was stated that the only martial art he really trained in was archery since he wasn’t as good in other MA. his older sister is the one that was strong and trained in the other MA
ty for the reply just figured i would respond and see what you thought of it and elaborate on what i had said
1. That is true, I was only referring to how the demons in her group of bodyguards wouldn’t fight to the point that they would be revealed the others would of course at least try to stop him (thou we know how that would likely end)
2. I might be wrong, but wise almost seem like a national secret as there writing is only known by a select few in the country and doesn’t seem widespread, so even if she is a higher up she most likely wouldn’t expose such a big secret over something so comparatively trivial
3. His focus is in archery and that is definitely what he is best at, however a part of his training was in close combat with a bow (he mentions the training during the fight) and it might not be his specialty, however he isn’t helpless in close quarters combat. though I completely agree on his lack of experience with magic though you can’t really blame him as most things don’t survive the first hit and he is unlikely to use his followers (stay back mio) as target practice.
feel free to tell me if you have any points to make regarding this as it is an interesting subject
1. hmm thats a good point but when i made this point originally i meant it more of Raidou couldn’t walk away because he’d end up fighting the demon body guards which he wont do. he had 3 choices really.
A) listen to her
B) try to leave and fight the body guards
C) silence them with magic.
i dont see him doing B or C due to him not being a killer or wanting to draw attention to himself. which left A which is what he did.
2. she could spread a rumor that he is an other worlder which would be more convincing then the whole curse thing he is going with. plus she could get the only good Yuusha to verify that Raidou is an otherworlder by having her look at him. this would convince those pesky kings into believing he is could be a summoned hero. combine that with the fact that many people saw him when he was summoned to the battlefield by the goddess.
3. the main issue in regards to knowing if he is good at fighting with other weapons other then archery is that we havent really seen Raidou fight with anything other then magic or a bow currently. he did fight with a sword (i think) against the dragon slayer(?) but since she is a master swordswoman so that wasn’t a very good example in regards to if he is good with a sword or not. if the author throws Raidou into a few more fights we might see if he is any good at CQC or MRC or not. it does looks like he will fight the Yuusha and scum later on in the series if u look at the cover to this(?) volume.
Hello again ty for responding quickly
1. We can finally come to an agreement on this one I was mostly just saying that we could ignore that three of the bodyguards were demons as they wouldn’t reveal themselves as demons
2. It’s possible and from the few times we have seen her I can’t be sure if she would be likely to do this, but as for the battlefield part. He was seen by very few people as there had been a battle (not sure but i think this is correct) between the humans and the demons so the humans might have glanced at him in their retreat, but there is no way they would get a good look at him (there are also all the people he accidentally killed with his “small” attack
3. agreed I am simply saying that he is capable on the fact that he manages to survive in CQC with an expert who is also being supported by a dragon to make it impossible for him to use archery and much more difficult to use magic leaving him to rely heavily on what CQC training he does have.
2. when he was summoned he gathered the attention of everyone on the battlefield. it really depends on how many people survived his “small” attack since it was revealed that all but 2 people on the demon’s side were wiped out but never specified how many humans survived. plus i get the feeling the bug will get mad she can no longer summon Raidou and send some sort of half-assed message to all the hyumans showing what he looks like which is my personal theory on why the Yuusha and trash end up fighting Raidou. im personally hoping the author will show what Tsukiyomi’s sisters are going to do to the bug since Onee-san Tsukiyomi said the bug wouldn’t get away with what it did to Raidou.
3. while raidou did survive against her it was just barely. can he really be called good at SRC if he was being played with by the dragon slayer (lol)? plus the most he could do against the dragon was cancel the attacks. he would have been screwed if the attribute of the dragon was differnt (lets say ice or plant attribute. doubly screwed if it was root he was against). currently he’d do better against them since it was revealed that he has been learning magic from books so more then likely he know more then just novice class magic.
you make some good points and thanks again for responding.
2. When tomoe went to check the aftermath of the battle the way people saw him was a bit different to how we know him to be. For one they thought he was beautiful (which by there standards he isn’t) and those that survived are unlikely to remember what happened clearly as he was only really close to the (not)dragon slayer and dragon plus the shock of the attack would most likely mess with their memories. Also while they might remember that he wore a mask it isn’t like no one could put on a mask. I also remembered at the end of this that she would have no idea that he was even there and nothing to say he might have been so even if someone could identify him she wouldn’t know it.
3. again I agree that he isn’t proficient with CQC and as for magic you can’t really expect him to already have a lot of strong magic (I mean besides the basic ones that can still create a lake) as that was what he was trying to get when he was forced to fight by the (bug)goddess. Also he wasn’t really being played with as they seemed to be going all out which is why they used the item to get rid of the goddesses blessing, which they wouldn’t have bothered with if they could win without it and were just playing with him. plus the only damage he really took was when they attacked right after he was teleported and still trying to get his bearings. Also while yes it would have been a problem if the dragon was a different attribute there are three points to be made here. 1 it wasn’t a different attribute so we can’t really tell how he would have done, 2 he is so powerful he might have been able to just overwhelm the typing difference plus while he is focused on water he is still able to use the other types (except wind), 3 it is actually better that it is the same attribute as you wouldn’t compare the attack power of fire with water as they are focused on completely different things (fire=damage water=healing/defense) so if anything this is a better way of judging his power
Hope you are able to respond soon : )
2. hmm good points. i am wondering though that since it is a magic world if there might be someone that can use memory magic (like tomoe) to see what he looks like. plus if the mask is unique enough it could actually make him stand out even more.
3. in regards to the item they used that was more of something so he (the supposed Yuusha) would get weak enough for the dragon to be able to fight him since the DS has the bug’s blessing for being a hyuman. plus the DS is the strongest one of the hyumans so she only tossed it to weaken him. any advantage she can get is very helpful. the ring thing wasn’t actually a spell. since it contained a huge amount of MP and his main attribute is water it caused the lake to appear. in regards to points 1-3 there are a few things.
A) i agree that we wouldn’t know how it’d go since the dragon wasn’t a diff attribute
B) do we know how strong his other elements are compared to his water? his other attributes might not have had enough power to overwhelm the water dragon. plus a earth based could use plants to crush him or stop him from doing chants by gaging him. of course its all a moot point since we dont actually know all the info to give such hypothesis
C) did they ever specify if those attributes do those specific things?
also if she was really going all out she could have teleported directly behind him and stabbed him or teleported her blade into his very being. when i read it it felt like she was playing cat and mouse with Raidou. it’d be good if we were to get other perspectives from characters but i doubt we will.
2. In regards to memory magic, the description provided by each person is the same as what they have in their memory (sort of like how hypnosis in the real world doesn’t actually bring back memories you just end up inventing some) and his description matched what they had in their memories as well. I also forgot to mention last time (not that it is very important as it was sort of implied), but I doubt the dragon and dragon slayer would help provide humans with an accurate description of him
3. for the difference in elements I believe you can get a rough estimate from early on when they just moved to the world he created, also as an example of him overpowering a dragon with an off attribute, during his fight with tomoe he used a fire spell (pretty sure that she was strong against that) which while it wasn’t a telling blow it was still some damage done against the way resistances typically work and with a type that isn’t his strongest attribute, not to mention that he ended up getting stronger after that when he was still doing his standard bow training and doubling his power
4. I am starting this number because the topic seems to have split, while it may be possible that they could have teleported behind him and killed him, I feel like that is not how their ability works. for one they mentioned swords which are what they teleport between and while it may have been possible to teleport behind him and kill him they were likely startled that someone was just suddenly there and tried to kill him quickly. As for teleporting her blade into him that the dragon and it seems to be a part of the dragons magic rather than a physical object so the dragon would first have to get his magic into him and at that point why bother with a sword
I might be wrong on the swords being how they teleport the (fake) dragon slayer, but I feel like that is the most likely case as the dragon complained about makoto destroying them.
Teleport ability allows her to switch with the position of the blade I think.
because people telling to “f*ck off” other only because he feel a little annoyed and have more power are despicable asshole, and so clearly not good material for a main character. do you think it’s impossible to be polite when you have power?
In fact, it sounds like a rather boring Mary Sue type fanfic. Conflict and problems that require some skill or help to get out of are more interesting than watching some immature person just yell and kill everything in their way. There are stories like that I’m sure, but it’d get repetitive really fast.
Makoto is an easy target…
It’s like forsaking defense and focusing solely on fire power, type of mecha build.
Thanks for the chapter.
Makoto lose in many ways xd even he says that his not a wie man. jesus even ema an orc had a better face than him lol you’re face cant lie man xD ahahahaha
Makoto lose in many ways xd even he says that his not a wie man jesus even
Thanks for the Chapter!

This woman was trying to seduce him?
Type whatever he had not noticed, I did not realized.
I wonder what her opinion of his own little world with demi’s would be?
Does anyone else remeber that makoto is actually 100% hyuman not human at all . its just he was born on earth lived there his whole life. His parent are noble hyuman who came to earth.
I know his parents requested to be sent to Earth but, I don’t recall them being specified as both Hyumans. It could be a union of both, making their offspring a half. Otherworlders were already spread a long time ago according to Root, and the fact that his parents wanted to be sent to “another” world.
Good theory, but you are forgetting that it’s a 1 way trip.
Thanks for the chapter! An unexpected person. All the speculation from last chapter turned off. Interesting.
Good chapter again.
I know Makoto got rolled at the end of the conversation, but not sure how. I’m almost sure it’s about the meaning of the characters in the store sign. Can anybody who understand kanji or read the raws explain?
Not asking for spoilers, just want to understand the current.
I think it’s because only someone who speaks the language as their first tongue would be able to understand the intricacies of it. I know when I try to learn kanji or katakana, I get lost in all the many possible readings of a single character.
Maybe it’s because it’s a kind of plant that only exist Japan, and that she learnt about thanks to the japanese that her country safeguarded (sequestrated ?)…
Does anyone else remeber that memo to is actually 100% hyuman not human at all . its just he was born on earth lived there his whole life. His parent are noble hyuman who came to earth.
We do. But that brings up the question, why does Makoto look like a Japanese?
What’s I find weird is why a pure blooded hyuman would have a normal (ugly for the bug world’s standards) face wherease every hyuman (without any exception) is beautifull, I don’t think it’s a simple coincidence (or it would be quite a clumsy one) ?
The fact that Japan is outside of the bug influence and that only on her world every hyuman affected by her power is born beautifull would be a nice answer if the younger sisters of Makoto (also born in Japan), wasn’t both as gorgeous as their parents.
Do they “dispose” (one way or another) of non-beautifull children in acordance to the goddess wishes on this world, or is there another explanation that might come later in the story ?
Ps : not talking to spoiler-san’s worshipers here, I only ask for bonafide conjectures please.
Adoption? Or maybe his mother married wise-man (heroes from japan) then the husband died. She then married her noble companion.
I can imagine it like this, she friendzones her noble osanajimi > meet summoned badass Japanese > the ruined country abuse the hero > she fall in love with the hero (become weaboo) > fight demon king or something, pregnant with makoto > husband died at epic final battle > then the osanajimi console her > fedup with the country & goddess > they married > transfer to japan.
Pffttt what a cliché fanfic outline.
Especially considering he’s the middle child, which is why Tsukuyomi-sama felt such a connection with him.
I was…
a bit disappointed
the last chapter got my hopes up
I though he will meet the empire’s princess
It’s very likely that she intends to observe him eventually, but it’s very likely that she’s too scared of Tomoe to do anything involving Raidou until she figures out just what is going on with him.
Oh they will meet a lot sooner than he does Tomoki (trust me, you are going to love that meeting). Besides… didn’t you listen to Spoiler-san when he said it wasn’t the princess?
-Appears out of no-where- I feel like that quiet lurker who is really thankful for translator~sama but doesn’t say anything. -Hides again-
Hyuman alignment get.
Thank u always for ur great work…
^^…
Ahahahaha, most of the guess is wrong and this woman really clever huh, baiting Makoto at the last minute…
XD…
Thanks for the chapter.
How long we have to wait till mokoto show his badass power?
haha
Thanks for the chapter.
Well, his parents are from this world so he can, honestly answer any questions of being from a different world “me? from another world? please, my parents were from X country.”
Not that it matters, he can simply go on denying it, and they have no way to force the issue.
What fhe heck you guys comment at midnight like that ???
Dont you have some work at morning :v
Not everyone is from your Timezone.
LA?
i kinda wanted him to say: “could i have a word in private with one of your guards please”
but that’d be inviting trouble and i guess he’s trying to avoid that
thanks for the chapter
Says want to be low profile and didn’t other let know of otherworld identity then use weird name plate for store which language didn’t exist in that world and grab attention.
humm i understand some ppl frustated by Makoto negative to Lauriel but think this way ok? Saitiriz said it, wise ppl are good decause they bring tech and culture from otherworld , so outworlders are like treasure chests in they view, they promote the country who have then, well think about guns and crazy princess, if she could get, idk better farms tech? or machinery? her country could develope decades. So in my view Makoto is just trying to stay away from ppl who would surely use him, not bad move from someone who arrived in that world by falling off the sky.
They just want to shelter them so they can use them like how we breed chicken for eggs and meat. Anyone could feel frustrated by being used beside makoto didn’t need them he have people who can accept and love him he don’t even have any finance and strength problem.
I agree, except for one tiny detail. Makoto’s followers don’t accept and love him, they all but worship the ground he walks on. Hell, they might do that to, they just don’t let him know.
wait so makoto not using his mask ??? or he using it but she know he’s ugly in that world LOL…
well who need kingdom backing u got asora man that paradise land..
he stoped using the mask fter saving the sisters from the curse.
Japanese is the writing of the wise.
I like that Sairitz, that last part was brilliant of her to bait him.
Well, I wonder if demons do live together with hyumans in Lorel. Or those demons really are spies. Makoto should at least ask a bit more regarding the escorts… I don’t want Sairitz to get harmed later on.
Thanks for the chapter~!
Makoto got played, poor boy, you’re rather unskilled in negotiations 😛
Heh.
She got him with that one.
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂 <3
118 chapters and our magnificent MC still has not meet nor seek for nor get any decent information about those two heroes, whose Tsukuyomi said as someones acuaintanced to Makoto. seems like after that adventurer whose appearance was the same as his kouhai he lost interest in finding another otherworlder. well Tsukuyomi’s and Makoto’s emphasis was to ‘live whatever way you like’ though but this is still bugging me. as Makoto is depicted as a typical japanese high school boys i thought he would be concerned about those 2 but apparently i was mistaken. even when he was questioned about both of them, and even Lorel’s Sairitz about otherworlders, i only got a cold shoulder as his response. what did i miss?
and thanks for the hard work!
Maybe the fact that the goddess is an asshole? And there is also a case when makoto being used as bait to save those heroes (was he informed about that? I forgot lol). He indeed want to meet them, just, that thing is not his first priority. When there were some hyumans harm his subbordinate in asoka, he swear to protect them. Not to mention some people whom bother him there and there. And the needs to raise his protection againts goddess sudden summon. So he got many things in his plate.
The two are Heros of distint countries, he can’t exactly walk up to them and introduce himself. They would be protected by several levels of people and are probably treated closer to nobles then commoners. Makoto would be treated like a commoner asking to see a king because they came from the same area originally, its likely that he would be ignored or suspected of being a spy or assassin. His demi-human like appearance and inability to speak would not be points in his favor.
He knows they are well, from rumor, but has no real way to get in contact with them. He doesn’t know about Mio being cooking buddies with one of them, can’t remember if Tomoe bothered to mention that she had met the other one. His general plan of using Kanji in his sign and making his stores well known might have worked as a way to get their attention. He instead got someone elses attention first..
The thing that Tomoe and Mío didnt told about they encounter with the héroes its something that boder me a lot
Tomoe did tell him about her meeting with the hero, she just didn’t tell him what exactly was said or how he acted, both because she wants to see Makoto’s reaction to him and Makoto didn’t want any information that would color his first impression a certain way. And why does Mio cooking with Hibiki bother you? She doesn’t even know Hibiki is a hero!
Thanks for the chapter (｡･ω･｡), also makoto need to learn how to deceive people ＼(￣▽￣;)／
Very interesting. I’m looking to see how these new players factor into the future.
For now though…HA! Everyone thought it would be the manipulative princess! Author showed us!
me too, but let’s forget that part…
thank for the update
thank you for the chapter
He put kanji in the name of the store ??? Dude that’s like telegraphing you’re from another world, considering we know they are not the first heroes summoned its god damn obvious the people who sat down to communicate with and learn about said heroes would know about their language at least partly. Maybe I’m just misunderstanding what he did here cause it doesn’t actually make sense. Either their alphabet is really close to the japanese or… I just don’t know >.<
Remember, Makoto is a teen, and got some naivety in his actions/decisions here and there.
Do you really expect him to figure those things out himself? He’s a normal teen, not the genius Kira like in Death Note.
Just chill, accept it and enjoy the story.
Nope. Since there are people around him that are suppose to be wise and advise him, I will point out conveniences created by the author to progress the story with elements that are not logical. Deal with it.
Well from what I read, the reason why raidou used kanji is to communicate with the heroes. So, when they learn that they and raidou is from same place, conversation can goes more smoothly. As to some people whom know kanji, he can used the same reason, that is he learn kanji from faraway place. The one thing he missed was, the fact that kanji being treated as sacred languange and the otherwolder is often have ugly appearance.
It was explained in this chapter why he used Kanji, to try and set up a flag for the heros to notice him and come to investigate. Having the language be the sacred language of a secretive country was something he could not predict, espectially since they ARE a secretive country that keeps as much information as possible from spreading to the outside world.

Thanks
thank you.
God (Reigokai san)it s you? Thanks for the chapter!!
Thanks a lot
wut? i thought it’s “the Great sage” not Wise althought it will make confusion if it’s “The great sage is diiferent than sage”
oh and also really exciting to see the jin and others fight as it’s confusing as hell reading it straight out from the novel
Unexpected development~
He got baited in the end hahaha. … xD thnx for the chapter~
Thanks 4 the chapter!
So only Japanese ever came to that world? No wonder Japan’s young population is declining. It’s not just because of the birth rate, their people are often transported to other worlds.
Seems like a Japanese may have made that world in the first place, since the whole known world is kinda one big Japan shaped landmass.
Yup, all because of truck-kun sending the japanese people to otherworld left and right.
That is probably the goddes doing humans can do something like that in that kind of world even with magic and without knowing the other world
Nah, was explained by Tomoe, that the Goddess showed up after the creation, and negotiated to rule the world and introduce her hyuumans.
Look like in LN other country didn’t exist on earth only Japan sole country exist so only japanese people got transported.
It is implied that some otherworlders may have been Chinese. Although Keep in mind that the land mass he is on is this world’s equivalent to the Japanese landmass, so there may be a regional bias.
I think that the reason mostly Japanese people go to that place is because Japan is connected to it. I mean, the map resembles Japan’s.
There should be other places that resemble other countries. Japan is small, that place can’t be all there is to that world.
Maybe Japan is sitting on a nexus that causes the barriers between worlds to be thinner there, leading to more Japanese falling through the cracks between worlds than other peoples. It’ll also explain why summoning rituals of other lns pull from Japan the most, and why gods can so easily pull people’s souls to be reincarnated into other worlds.
Lorel Union huh….. there’s a chance he might involved with Hibiki and Chiya later on.
Thanks for the chapter 😀
That smells shady from the get go.
Well, time for a comment. As usual except for last time, thank you Reigo-senpai for another beautiful translation.
In the incoherent clumps of text from Google Translate, the name is SaiTadashi (that really is how they place the name in Google Translate). She is an interesting character. And trust me, it was hard for me not to talk about her talk with Makoto. She knows he’s an otherworlder. Even if he feigns ignorance, she can tell. As for why she wants him… it’s because of that. Laurel doesn’t have a Hero and their priestess is with Hibiki. She is sure that Makoto is good enough to fit the bill. However, she doesn’t know that he’s the Devil. Then again, even he doesn’t know he’s the Devil. Still, even I kinda threw a fit when he refused to just go over there where the Goddess isn’t worshiped and it’s more like his homeland. But don’t take everything I’m saying seriously, I did have to read the upcoming chapters through Google Translate. So there are things that I have gotten wrong.
Don’t ask Spoiler-san about when Makoto meets the Heroes, it’s still many chapters away and it’s been so long that I don’t know the exact number. All I can tell you is that you’re going to enjoy the upcoming chapters.
*hears Truck-kun coming*
Not this time!
*uses remote shut off switch that was secretly installed into Truck-kun during his maintenance*
Truck Operating System rebooting…
Primary Systems online…
Searching for target…
Target found…
Engage propulsion system…
Tracking target…
Good thing we have a back-up plan huh….
*presses the remote shut-off switch again*
Normal operation interrupted…
Unauthorised command detected…
Deleting malicious codes…
Malicious codes deleted…
Commencing normal operation…
Target reacquired…
A shut off switch isn’t a code, it’s a kill switch that forcefully shuts down a vehicle by force after installation. Look it up. So…
*presses it again and watches Truck-kun roll back down the hill, onto a dock, and into the sea*
Crap… instead of the usual medical bills, not I gotta pay to have Truck-kun fished out.
*hands over bill for salvage and repair*
*reads it*
Are you kidding me!? This is more expensive than my hospital bills!
*Launches rpg at truck-kun*
*direct hit*
Mario, why are you playing with these toys? Surely you know the best way to deal with these problems is a good set of explosives.😏😎
Mission Failure…
Activating Distress Beacon..
Truck 3 to 10004 responding…
Shutting Dow……..
Sounds like he said that research into Lorel/Laurel shows that they revere High Spirits, but still worship the Goddess.
Yeah, but leaving his current bases of operations is not on his mind right now. The Devil may be a Part-time, but he’s still a teacher who cares about his students.
I got the sudden urge to high five Makoto… in the face… with a chair… due to the same reason as you have.
they tried to earn his trust with secrets that shouldn’t be exposed but he flatly refused them. he can just put in some conditions so he won’t be restricted and bring his companions who is much more powerful than anyone there to have a look. he can run away if they ever try to use him. he is too overly cautious when it is him who attracted them with the name of the store himself.
I don’t read ahead so I am going to see how he handle them later.
Thanks for the chap!
I don’t see how any good could come from Makoto accepting her implied offer. He values his freedom and just wants to live life as he pleases, so why would he want to assume an elevated position simply for being Japanese? Makoto will arm his place in the world, and go about it as he sees fit.
Also, are they sheltering otherworldly so from her rest of the world, or sheltering the rest of the world from otherworlders? Secret techniques and controlled information strongly imply the latter.
I think if he knew more about the world by at least just visit will benefit him more. he just need to put in some conditions so he can still be as he please. he can always postpone his visit until he is ready.
I see it as that. maybe it’s just me not being cautious.
Her words and motive become suspect when she shows up with 3 disguised demons as her escort. Plus, as others have said, sheltering and protecting can be a thin line from emprisoning and exploiting.
Makoto currently has no hardships or other issues with living his life how he wants. I can’t think of any reasons, besides wanting to be in a place he is revered that is similar to his home, to travel to a different contry, abandoning all of his contacts and bases he currently has. He is not being harrassed or persecuted and has some rather strong allies. He is being catious about how he uses his knowledge as well so he does not stand out as much as most other otherworlders might.
So it’s a choice between his current complete freedom and living in a country he has no information about but has been told that he will be respected. If he did not have his own world filled with people that see him as a GOD there is a chance he might feel isolated and be interested in her offer.
I think that shut off the brake system.
Luckily for me Truck-kun was driving uphill.
Meeting Hibiki: Chapter 172-174
Meeting Trashmoki: Chapter 178-179
Oh Chapter 179 is one of my favorites (also the arc of Devil)
* runs before Truck-kun comes *
So a good 60 chapts before he meets the heroes, i shall eagerly await, though theres always the option to help with translation since im more free now…decisions
NO! No, no, no! You don’t tell people when it happens!
*throws you right under Bus-kun*
Is that like spoiler?
Does Sir Spoiler also updated with the raws?
Is the author still updting the WN?
Yes, roughly once a week. Chapter 265 coming out on June 5th
Yeah, the author has already done a few updates this month.
As I usually avoid listening to spoiler-san forked tongue, I could only tell from what I had read in a lot of translated novels, that the line between sheltering otherworlders and monopolising their technology and sequestrating them and using them as slaves, extracting their knowledge by all means is usually very thin…
So I’m okay with Makoto’s carfullness on this one, at least from his standpoint and low knowledge of what REALLY happen in this country.
*thorws you under Bus-kun too*
it’s time to release the mini-coopers
The thing is though that why leave when you are creating a land where people depend on you and trust you the most? Who knows what they could be scheming no matter what they have resembling your home world. Besides he has a lot of Riders coming to town! And all that hard work he put in would all be for naught.
I don’t really see any urgent reasons why would he have to accept her proposal and move to that country. He is not inconvenienced in any way right now and he already has Asora too. Also its not like he severed all ties with her. If he changes his mind later or something comes up he can go there at that time.
He didn’t said that he would never visit that country, he just doesn’t want to reveal his identity to some unknown strangers.
Oh, not a bitch princess but a sly priestess-sama?
btw thanks for the chapter!!!
…I was wrong. But still, an interesting conversation. Also, more demon infiltrations, how sloppy. Unless, of course, there are demons not aligned with those attacking…? 🤔
Thanks for the chapter! 😃
Spoiler-san is forbidden to tell you about the demons.
Well, quite.
They might not be infiltraters, they may be working together. Remember the ring that blocks the bug (goddess), if they revere spirits more than the bug (goddess).
thank you for your hard work! thanks for the chaptah!
Yes demons

Oh new person?
I’ve been around awhile. Wanted to be first for once. I don’t really think I’ll try doing it again in the near future….
It was actually the second time that I got first that I started the whole “reserved for Firo” thing 😛
YAY!!!
Firos place!
NO!!!!
Sorry Firo, I just got the notifcation 🙁
I tried too
Do you want to help me clear this massive table of food, Firo?
Yes…
Let me join in too, also I’ve brought 40 tons of popcorn and around 30 bottles of diet coke want some?
Slow. Birdbrain. pfft
Muu!
Ahh great! The food has arrived! Now if you could just make your way to the top of the table…
Wait wait!
Is Firo also part of the food you mean!?
Should taste like chicken right ?
N-NO!
First!
I shall now get the table set for the meal in celebration of doing this.
I only need the meat.
I’ll bring the buns
