Chapter 131: A certain student’s background (Lower) ~Undercover actions~

Raidou was appointed as a teacher in the Academy.

Moreover, he has obtained popularity in one portion of the students.

Ilumgand has been ingesting the medicine that the student gave him before.

From what he could tell, there were no secondary effects, just like that person said. His physical strength and magic power became stronger.

That strengthening is continuing even now.

The strengthened power increased his leveling speed, and his level reached 70.

“Raidou. That guy is even moving around the academy!”

But the irritation of Ilumgand didn’t stop.

It was a simple matter.

Even when he obtained power, Ilumgand has been unable to meet with Ruria.

Not only that, he has received reports several times of Raidou and Shiki going to Gotetsu and conversing with Ruria in a friendly manner.

There’s no way that’s amusing for him.

The one there is not supposed to be Raidou, but him, Ilumgand.

The being that has stolen the place he was supposed to enter and the smile he was supposed to receive.

Inside of him, Raidou had become an existence that was worthy of being killed.

Moreover, he lost to a student that is taking the classes of Raidou.

Ilumgand put pressure in the people and stopped the attendance applications to Raidou’s class.

And yet, even with him placing pressure, that student was one of the scholarship students that still send the petition to Raidou’s class.

A defeat is not something that’s okay to happen.

Moreover, that student said this when Ilumgand was defeated.

“Ah, damn. I messed up adjusting my power”

She whispered that and returned to the line of students.

It wasn’t like she said it for Ilumgand to hear, it was more like, her monologue leaked out.

Her name is Amelia Hopelace.

A scholarship students that originated from Gritonia.

Hopelace.

Same family name as Ilumgand.

But it is a female student that has no connection with him at all.

At least he doesn’t know of any connection with her.

Amelia has not talked to him in any way, so he thought that it is probably a coincidental match.

And in reality, Amelia is not even from a noble origin, and Ilumgand had already lost interest in her name.

“Held back? Went easy, on me?”

What was important wasn’t the name, but the fact that she went easy on him.

Her year was lower, her level was lower, moreover, in a state where there’s no blessing, a girl went against an upper-grade top class and won.

There’s no way he could accept that.

“You are Raidou’s! That Raidou’s student right?! Don’t mess around! Don’t mess with me!!!”

Little by little, unconsciously, he lost his ability to control his emotions.

Slowly, without stopping, it silently progressed.

At that time, his countenance, rigidness, and forcefulness increased, and the amount of people hanging around him decreased.

After he returned to his room, the rumors of him losing his temper slowly spread around.

The room was especially bad today.

He shoved away the furniture around, and the breaking sounds and screams resonated even on the outside.

After raging for a while, Ilumgand sat on his couch and suddenly yelled.

“Oi, reinstated! Oi, are you there?!”

Thought transmission.

He didn’t need to say it out loud, and yet, Ilumgand voiced out what he was saying in his thought transmission.

Proof that he is quite irritated.

(… Sorry. I was doing something. Ilum-sama, what’s wrong? Are you running out of medicine?)

The voice that responded to the yell, was a glossy voice.

It is the person in duty that hears out the progress reports after he received the medicine.

When the student said superior, Ilumgand thought that it would be a male, but when he connected the thought transmission, it was a woman.

The woman responded to the emotional voice of Ilumgand in an extremely calm demeanor.

(That’s not it! What is going on?! Why is the class of a mere temporary teacher having more increasing effects than the medicine?! Are you telling me that’s also one of the plans you guys have been doing secretly in the academy?!)

(… Ilum-sama, please calm down)

(How can I be calm?! Today, I lost to a student that has only been attending Raidou’s classes a few times! A woman that has a lower level than mine!)

(There’s not supposed to be any such plan though… Raidou. Are you saying the name of that teacher is Raidou?)

(That’s right! That ugly, mere merchant that makes a fool out of me wherever I go!)

Ilumgand’s exasperation was the very definition of the stupid nobles he hated with a passion.

And Ilumgand didn’t even notice that.

There’s no noticeable secondary effects.

That’s certainly true.

The concerned person, Ilumgand, is unable to notice it after all.

The woman that continues talking with a calm voice as always, slightly ponders when the name Raidou was mentioned.

She thought that it would take a bit more time.

She has been destroying the calm in Ilumgand’s heart little by little.

Just like how his heart is inclined to defeat.

All she has actually done is assist in the medicine’s effect, and has not really placed any suggestions or anything like that.

That’s why she thought that even if it comes into fruition fast, it would need at least half a year. However, Ilumgand was cornered faster than she thought, and for her, he is being completed in a good sense.

But at the same time, being too fast brings anxiety.

The main cause of Ilumgand’s accelerated destruction, Raidou.

She felt that she has to see that person at least once.

Because she couldn’t think it possible that a female student whose level was a lot lower than the strengthened Ilumgand could beat him.

Without saying it in the thought transmission, that’s what the woman thought.

‘At least for hyumans’

Her interest was pointed to the academy town that already had no need to head to.

(Understood. Ilum-sama’s regret, I have understood it well. I thought about waiting for your body to get used to it a bit more, but I will prescript you the next medicine)

(?! The next medicine?! If there’s such a thing, bring it out from the beginning!)

(Sorry. It is because that medicine has a light side effect. For people that can’t control their emotions, it will bring danger, and more importantly, the body will also…)

(I don’t care! I can control my emotions! Are you making a fool of me, you bastard?!)

(Truly sorry. I have said too much. Please forgive me, Ilum-sama. Well then, I will bring it to you as soon as possible. Also, we have a necklace that increases magic resistance. Consider it a gift from us. We will be sending it along as well, so please do use it. It isn’t something bulky, so it won’t be a hindrance)

(Hmph! don’t think such a mere gift will compensate for your previous utterance!)

(Of course. We will not be frugal in our cooperation hereafter, so please do pardon me)

(Those words, don’t forget them!)

Ilumgand one-sidedly cuts off the thought transmission.

The woman that was in a dim room, seemed like she was going to leak out a sigh, but instead, she silently bended her mouth into a smile.

“Fufufu. It seems quite a good wind is blowing. I can control my emotions, huh. What a funny young man. With this, the Hopelace has fallen. Limia will have to move no matter what now. But… Raidou… was it? It would be troublesome if it goes too far, so maybe I should confirm what kind of person it is, at least once”

Blue skin, a face with no horn.

The woman that stood still in the room alone, demon general Rona, placed a hand over her mouth as if thinking something.

This is a story that happened a bit before she pretended to be Karen Frost and infiltrated the school.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Timing.

I can’t mess up the opportunity.

This is the final step of the plan.

The final phase of a plan that was carefully laid out.

“Until this point, the plan has proceeded in a truly smooth manner. Leaving aside Limia, the problem was how many high officials of Gritonia we would be able to pull, but I didn’t think Princess Lily would fish them out. Moreover, the princess fished the Limia King as well. I can’t stop laughing”

There’s only one worry.

Kuzunoha Company’s, Raidou.

He said he was neutral, but he is also a hyuman. He is an ingredient that brings anxiety.

I want him to owe us, but it will be troublesome if there’s an impediment in our plan.

At least, with Larva there, Raidou won’t be in danger regarding this matter.

It also depends on how loyal that Lich is to him, but Raidou himself possesses quite the fighting power.

In the worst case scenario, it is possible that he would move to suppress the situation.

Even so, thinking about the information relay ability of the hyumans under a chaotic situation, there won’t be any problems.

That’s right. Depending on his posting, the demerit of the demon race will be big.

“Raidou, you accepted the meeting with the demon lord-sama, so you must have a certain amount of interest in us right? In that case, please overlook us this time okay?”

It sounds as if I were praying to someone. Haha.

Even though we have no God to pray to.

“Rona!”

The partner in this time’s plan and also a demon general as well. The loud voice of that giant resonates.

Now then, it is the time for fruition.

Let’s watch the end of the heroes.

The death of all that oppose the demon lord will tell us of our victory.

    Wait so when did this happen? It’s as if Ilumgand was talking about the tournament but then it points out that a battle between Amelia and Ilumgand happened at some point before even Karen aka Rona even attended Raidou’s class. It’s confusing I can’t remember a chapter where a student of Raidou had a battle with Ilumgand before Rona infiltrated

  6. Just finished binge reading, and there’s this plot thread that’s been hanging for a while, the heirloom knife that Toa(Hagesawa) ventured to the wilds to get, that I’m pretty sure is the one that Makoto got from the orcs early on and used for a while. Just wondering when it will be brought up again, because it was mentioned supper early on.

  7. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ! I’m finally back ! It seems like much happened, well I won’t complain !
    Oy, oy I remember having called Rona a fox-woman…Tch ! I’m totally disappointed.
    But, with all the clues we got, the next is pretty much clear ! MC, I’m waiting for your fight, don’t go betray my expectations… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !

    Thanks for your work !

  9. may i ask the next release? i couldn’t keep calm since last friday… T^T

    i have been scolded for constantly refreshing the computer just to check for an update XD
    i didn’t feel sorry at all… but i did feel life and death from the anticipation…

    i am really curious…. will either the princess confront him of the king?
    will he tell them his trouble with the merchant guild or not?
    will he tell them in public that he’ll have a meeting with the demon lord or not?
    what will he tell his students for his absence?

    if this comment makes any reference for the upcoming chapters, delete it if you must…
    but be warned… i will know that i hit a mark…
    won’t tell anyone though… just gonna be me refreshing the site every few minutes in this upcoming weeks…

    1. Hmmmmmmmm, probably the princess… the king said he would contact Raidou after Stella Fortress battle. Of course, since Rona will make a move on the academy, there is a chance of contact with the king.

      Why tell anyone of the merc. guild problem? After aknowledging his own mistake, that would look like a whining from Makoto. Instead, I hope he pays back in FULL! *evil laugh*

      I don’t think he will leave his students no matter what: that proposition regarding Kaleneon was before the tournament. Makoto even said something about a second phase… I mean, sure, there is Hopeless and the merc. rep., but I don’t believe this would make him leave.

  10. A few of my predictions…

    I’m going to go ahead and guess this much based on what people are saying about hibiki… The one guy who got spoiled said she doesn’t like Makoto. I’m not sure how it’s going to happen; it’s likely because he won’t stand against the demon lord despite being so powerful.

    There’s also the possibility she’ll become corrupt. I’m guessing this because shes so disgustingly perfect there’s no way she wont change from that, as other users have said, character’s changing is an important part of their character. Unless they’re an insignifigant static character. The author is setting up 3 major factions, Hyumans, Demons, Asora. Makoto will assuredly be the hero of Asora, but the other two… I’m guessing one will swap. Trash hero with enslavement eyes thinks he’s manipulating everyone, doesn’t realize he’s being manipulated. I can’t see him swapping sides, I CAN see him dying this novel or at least imprisoned.

    If she (hibiki) goes down full corrupt route, I’m guessing she’ll marry the demon lord or something. At the very least the whole group of ppl saying “shes not as perfect as u guys think she is.” gives me this impression. I thought originally her place in his harem was assured because he liked her in highschool (I think?) but I’m guessing that was wrong.

    As for my other predictions, I don’t think they introduced the mc’s sisters early on for nothing. I think we’ll eventually see them again, transported to this world. If I had to predict how? Makoto will probably experiment with wormholes to his world and end up transporting them from his home or something.

    When he said something to eva and ruria I’m guessing he proposed? I;m sure others have come to this conclusion.

    Though I’m guessing 90% of my predictions are completely off.

    Also can someone direct me to the chapters where trash became obsessed with

    1. *Also can someone direct me to the chapters where trash became obsessed with tomoe?

      I must’ve backspaced the last word here -_-

    2. The thing about Hibiki is simple, back on earth Makoto had 2 girls who showed interest on him, 1 was in love, the leader of the archer club that look like the adventurer with the litle sister he helped, the other showed interest in his ability and a litle to none love, that one is Hibiki, the thing is she was almost perfect on earth, not much could be called challenge to her, and on this world she suffered defeat(Mio), death of a friend(demon siege), and being the underdog(demon eyes almost took her entire team and is more powerfull than her), so yeah she is having fun, back on they povs we can see she is enjoying the killing and war like because she have dependable friends more amazing than her(and she say that there was this dude from earth school that was the best in archery but things got wrong).
      That was cool until Mio show up and destroyed her fantasy, since then she is becoming more and more batle oriented, not that it will do much and you will see why in the next arc, its just that she has some history with makoto but not a very good one as far as the translation could put

      1. There was a mistake: the 2 girls who were in love with Makoto are:

        1- Archery club leader;

        2- Another archery student who kept observing Makoto. She is the one who looks like the adventurer Toa, who in turn got saved by Mio and Tomoe;

        So far, it was only hinted the Hibiki was Makoto’s acquaintance (Tsukuyomi’s comment and Hibiki thinking about “an interesting person”), no love involved.

      3. Ok i dont know why i cant reply you properly, so i will use it here.
        Setsuyume Edenfault: Theres A LOT of discussion about the translation of the 2 girls name, i saying wat i read poorly over mtl ok, in any case its is intend that Hibiki know Makoto but prefer to ignore the fact, maybe when the tl advance for the encounter with the 2 of then things will be more clear, i for once stoped trying the mtl around this very chapter we are.

        mikealwy: the info is spread in litle parts if i remember correctly, first is on dragons dream https://reigokaitranslations.com/2015/08/27/chapter-7-the-dream-that-the-dragon-shows-me/ , the second is when makoto talk with the rescued sister and after when hibiki remmeber her transfer to the godness world and last when she compares evil eye hero with other guys.

        Maybe spoiler san could give a hand on this since it looks like he alread read far onto the novel, or someone else who did the same, but almost everyone who got this info say hibiki is an idiot or even hatefull.

      4. Ohhhhhhh, is that how it is? I never knew about that until now! Thanks for the info! I think the hero meeting will be in the 170’s?

  11. To those still watching this page, I finished the fourth chapter of The Alvan Demon Lord. Tristan surprises Modryn with big news. And a chance meeting at a weapon shop could be fate. Enjoy.

  12. thanks for the chapter! so were done with the hyuman side huh now onto the demons side. i’ve read some things saying demon race are nicer than hyumans or something like that but im pretty sure demons have a bad side too as of now only the hyumans are shown to be bad and the demons hasnt shown it well maybe except for when makoto meets shin but im sure (and I hope) the demons shows thier bad at makoto and later reveal that hes the devil

    1. Everything we’ve seen of the demons acting in the field has been terrible. Let’s not forget who the ones killing the orc sacrifices were.

      1. So true! The orcs dispair and the tree punishment of the ogres (with a hand of Shiki in that? LOL). Well, considering everything, if I were not neutral, I would still side with the demons, because:

        1- They are against that Golden b*%4 of a “Goddess”;

        2- Hyumans despise Makoto by default.

        Long story short, it’s a matter of convenience. You can find both jewels (Rembrandts) and vermins (gold diggers) in any race.

  13. Hey guys, reading the comments got me wondering if the MC could really beat the bug. The reason being that he may have more magic than it, but that does no really mean he could be her if she is able to manipulate the world he is in, or her world (the one she stays in), at her will. Meaning she may be able to go and change the world very drastically and kill him indirectly.

    Also, there is the very possibility that there are other “agents” that she could send to give him trouble like angels or something. Though this all depends on what power was given to her b/c I think I read that this world was created by another god-like being and given to her to watch over.

    As for the Hopelace guy, he is just pitiful. Also the Demon race are not so much evil as they are desperate for wanting a better life that they feel forced to do what they have done in the past and what they might do in the future.

    Finally, thanks for translating this story.

  16. It would be great if MC becomes God figure that actually gets prayed to, to the point divinity grows in him allowing him to become a New God. It’s not like he doesn’t have the magick power and world to back it up..

  17. am i the only one that believes that the author has already hinte of makoto becoming a god when root and tomoe were talking behind makotos back how much time people from his world live and said that maybe he can find another way than the others did in his past and makoto isnt even from that world he is a breed in between due to his parents being from this world and since they came to our world and had kids the only person that looked human instead of hyuman is makoto hence him being a breed of worlds making the posibility for him actually living longer than humans from other worlds and biger chance for him becoming a god in some way

    let me know what u guys think

    1. Hmmm…

      1- Considering his main women (Tomoe and Mio) are basically unaging, Makoto becoming inmortal is a logic conclusion;

      2- Considering this is a WN (that means, a story with plenty of self-fullfilment elements LOL);

      3- Considering that normal ppl (elf from Noa’s party and Jin) barely sense Makoto’s thin presence:

      4- Considering that his level is “forever one”, hinting at a different nature altogether;

      5- And ABOVE ALL, considering his mana enhancement technique! He basically disperses his very soul, becoming more and more one with the world every time he “reassembles”, thus his total mana increases … becoming one entity with the world, a spirit of the highest level ruling over all… isn’t that the very definition of a God? And Root said mana gives more longevity, so if he expands his mana indefinitely, who knows what he might become! (remembered One Punch Man now LOL).

      So, conclusion: if he learns Mio’s black regeneration + Shiki’s knowledge on immortality + Tomoe’s rebirth skill + apply all his mana, he could very well become a veritable “Dark Frost Mage Arach-Dragon God!” For real! XDDD

      1. i didnt want to say those or some of those points so it wouldnt be a huge post thanks for contributing and barely answering anything

      4. Others can’t sense his magical power that well because all the magic absorbtion items he wears and him concealing it with his Sakai too.
        That elf girl probably referred to when she saw Makoto use his concentration technique to kill those bugs. She too sensed what Mio and Tomoe, that his presence got thin/disappeared.

  18. If I were raidou,I will unite all demi humans in the wasteland and create a third power,make a castle in the sky and kill anyone who I don’t like with lightning,while doing so,I will also make the goddess my slave by overriding her mgic with mine,I got a lot more mana than that bug goddess right?

  22. I can’t really see Raidou doing too much.

    He should only be interested in seeing to the safety of his Kuzunoha staff, Eva & Ruria, the Rembrants, and his students.

    The real wildcard will be Root. Will he/she stay out of it or look to save people.

    Another thing is Sofia and Lancer could be with the raid. All hell would break loose if an enraged Tomoe, Mio, & Shiki competed on who could kill them first.

  26. Humm by now should be clear that Rona drugged a lot of important people at the academy, the drug raise the lvl, power and magic alike but leave the user unstable… kinda like fiend drug of death march or all the other “turn into a monster” from other novels… turn into a monster… downfall of promissing people on the academy… A well sorry for Rona, but she did a shit job about gathering intel here, and gonna learn the price soon.
    If she knew about the pressure over Raidou she could try saying the atack was to give him a hand and all, but now she lost a chance to win Makoto over the demon race, and in the end of chaos he well be feared or respected from both side even if a litle, humm maybe thats why spoiler san said wait and see? In any case Makoto god like will take more time to appear since its still to soon.

  27. TL I need to ask you something. The thing is that I was planning to read ahead and went to the raws address not the WAYBACK one, the original one, and a lot of chapters no longer exist between the summer vacation and future Demon War participation chapters some of the currently translated chapters don’t exist, at least the titles aren’t there and the amount of chapters in between don’t match, any idea what happened there? and also what are you going to do, cause the WAYBACK can’t take you so far until you have to return to the present and a lot is missing T_T and as someone that can read japanese I know the feeling of translating and then having to scrap it because of major changes.

  31. Man I binged this to 120 and now this is my favorite novel! Found this after following up on the manga. Props to the author for a well developed story and good characters. Thanks for the translations man. I really liked the merchant chapter where the protag understands appropriate reactions and didn’t go throw a tantrum after being show his weakness. after seeing these last two chapters I have to say ridou has some fault in cornering the hopelace.

  32. So this two chapters are like an intermission for whats to come? Or is it only to know what happened before?

    Anyway, i dont think this will accept the flow of the real story.

    Thanks for the chap

  33. Thanks for the chapter , Reigokai -sempai , I hope with brilhandos eyes to see what makoto fara with this plan of demons .
    1 ) Staying neutral are looking at?
    2 ) Log in with everything to destroy the plan?
    3 ) Tomoe and myo will do something to prevent it? (I think half improvalvel because they only act when makoto authorizes )
    4 ) Root …. he should know the whole plan , and did not say anything to makoto should be who is planning to see how makoto will act .
    PS .: Sorry my english .

  34. Why are there these kinds of POV chapters in the main story. Sigh this could have been better in the side stories since it kinda spoils the mysteries going on right now. OH well thanks anyway

  36. All right! Thank you for the double release!

    From the talk between the king and prince of Lamia we could guess something happened to that noble… now we got the detailed explanation. Too bad it was a misundertanding/manipulation, huh? And Rona pretty much confirmed a demon attack during the festival! After all the hints it was only logical (and I saw the LN covers as well LOL).

    Well, I hope everything clears up later! See you guys!

    P.S. Because of the double release, last chapter has very few comments lol

  37. So judging from Rona’s thoughts the plan was to first destabilize elements in Limia and Gritonia, then launch a 3-way raid targeting VIPs in Rotsgard, Limia, & Gritonia.

    1. Problem is there are several potential flaws.
      Rona has vastly underestimated the power of Raidou.
      Root is also present and could protect targets.
      Hibiki’s power has risen sharply since visiting Tsige and there’s also the adventurers she recruited.
      And Tomoki….’s obsession with Tomoe will ensure he won’t die or something like that.

  38. oh, am i the only one who liked this POV chapter? for one it give us another view of the characters, and change a bit the perspective. I can kinda comprend hopelace and his motivation, sure he is not perfect, but neither is Makoto or other character, it’s just that he had realy bad luck. Now come at me with stones =p

    1. I too, after reading his backstory want him to turn good, but seeing how thing are, the odds of him dying are high…

  40. I’m wondering how many demon lords Makoto is now that he expanded his power by quite a lot(the last time he was like 8 demon lords walking together, 7 if he is supressing his power(being the weakest the one who disappeared), well not even the scheming demon lady would be able to predict that she’s messing with a being that have That Calamity spider and an Ex-superior invencible dragon as a slave.

  41. HAHAHAHAHAH CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS BITCH TO GET REKT

    >plan has proceeded in a truly smooth manner
    nice joke m9

    >The death of all that oppose the demon lord will tell us of our victory.
    this is the correct sentence “The death of all that opposes Raidou will tell us of our defeat”

    anyway thanks for the double chapter release ^^ too bad it’s focuses on the character that no one gives a fuck about.

    1. “The death of all that opposes Raidou will tell us of our defeat” how does this makes sense to you?

      1. you don’t get it huh …… basically means that if she tries to plot something against him in this Demonlord meetup,Raidou can easily annihilate them if he went all out (another lake will be born). reminder that Makoto is pissed about the tournament getting manipulated by a trash noble,so once he discovers it’s influenced by Rona……..who knows what will happen.

        i know it doesn’t make sense for Rona to say it,but i wish you got the joke. oh probably not,cause i have a bad sense of humor :D.

  43. For all we know… Hopeless lackeys might’ve gotten a hold of Raidou’s medicine elixir and he might’ve already been cured. Lol, what an anticlimax if that was the case.

      1. Haha, what would be even funnier is that even after/with all these events transpiring, it were all within the evil magistrate’s grand plan (incl Rona’s). Tomoe: “kukukukuku, all seems to have gone well. Next, Waka’s world domination.”

  45. Just when the corrupt merchant messed with kuzunoha company and raidou now is shifting to the demon side, rona spoils all with her “little” intervention, good job rona, pray for the failure of your plan

  47. Woohoo!! Doublee chapters again. Reigokai is on fire, 5chapters in 5 days.

    But its just about that stupid Hopelace boy and Rona. That hopeless(lace) guy is actually ok, but a series of bad decisions turns him the way he is now. Such a pity.

    And Rona, lol she thought her schemes would work against the mighty Raidou. Keep on dreaming Rona, because it’ll never.

    I’m sure this chapter will help us understand the next few chapter better.

  48. First thanks for the great work, second im bit troubled let to explain…….for the demon race all went good like a piece of cake,Too strong army,better generals,first class undercover actions,better magic….if they pick makoto even only for merchandise in their country il be a boring story…….not only this the way the things has taked seems lead to grave for Hibiki.I hope in better development from the author………

  50. The hopelace guy is reaping exactly what he sowed. Did he think that being insulted and almost assaulted would mean he gets to be forgiven because he wants to be forgiven? Blindness of the arrogant.

    He has plenty of chances to show his apology but he cannot out down his own pride to do so. Eg. did he think Ruria would not be able to see him if he knelt down in front of the restaurant to ask for her forgiveness. But its too embrassing to do, despite him having indirectly led a group to attack her in the first place.

    Especially stupid is the “oh i’m a noble, i should be stronger for no other reason” rubbish that he thinks is correct and accepting tele-marketing calls to take unknown drugs because the other guy says “oh its all approved. Everyone takes it.”.

    There is a limit to stupidty. Past that, no one mourns when you die from being stupid.

    As for Rona, she had better wake up unless she wants to be crushed into blue paste by a spider and a dragon. She can give excuses all she wants but she will find how absolute power crushes word lawyering if she directly harms anyone connected to him, including Ruria. She’s fortunate that the hopelace idiot is weak and has no connection to the MC.

    1. Kneeling in front of the restaurant would definitely be a powerful message, though it’s not necessary to go that far.

      While reading how he sees himself as “oh so pitiful” for not being able to talk to Ruria, I kept thinking “Dude, ever thought of sending a letter?”.

      Having a conversation with her might not be a good idea. He made a real ass of himself during their reunion, where he was unable to express himself properly. I don’t think their second encounter would fare any better, because a conversation is a two way street, and the two being face to face with each other would be overflowing with emotions.

      Whatever he may have planned to say, would either come out wrong, or he might not have a chance to say it, because the flow of the conversation would change.

      A letter is the solution. It gives him the chance to communicate it all just the way he wants to. The other party can’t interject, they can only choose whether to finish reading the letter or not.

      So he gets no sympathy from me. There were ways for him to fix this, but he was too busy indulging in self-pity.

      If he ends up dying because of the mess he got himself into, I won’t shed any tears on his behalf. At least it seems his death would serve to move the story along (if Makoto learns of the demons’ hand in this, he’ll be angry with them, just as he’s already tired of hyumans).

      1. Sure, other methods would work but kneeling in front of the woman’s workplace would cause any blocks to be useless. Of course, this does not mean he gets forgiven, merely the fact that blaming others for preventing him from apologizing makes zero sense when such preventive measures don’t really work when the woman has a very visible and well known work place.

        Letters, messengers, disguises, group invasions, etc could all work as would stranger methods like waving a sign saying you’re sorry.

        Sure the guy could look like a moron if he uses the more extreme methods like literally shouting his apology from the street but frankly since he started the entire fiasco, that’s his to pay.

        Then again, since he is someone who takes drugs given by other people without thinking “oh this could be dangerous”, he might not even be able to come up with any idea other than “me go in front door. me apologise.”.

    2. >he gets to be forgiven because he wants to be forgiven?
      if he want to be forgiven, he admit that he was in the wrong and wanted to apologize to her before restarting a relationship. it seem very logic for me.
      He didn’t try to make it look like nothing happened at least, I don’t know what you think he should have done. do you cut all relationship at the first little clash and never forgive?

      >if he knelt down in front of the restaurant
      first, kuzunoha’s member always blocked him.
      second, even in taking out the pride of noble, do you know many people that would behave like that? nobody would do that. it would be different if they were married and he wanted to apologize for very bad things, but here, he was nothing to her. she didn’t remember him and would only look weird and creepy if he did.

      I think you are very salty for the only reason of him being an antagonist, and don’t look objectively.

      1. Ok i will go to your work place (or school), accuse you of selling yourself in front of all your collegues plus strangers even though you don’t know me. Then i will run off and after a few days, want to admit i am wrong.

        So i’m admitting that i was wrong to accuse you of selling your body. Now you MUST forgive me right? After all, you say you don’t cut ties after a little clash.

        As for kneeling down at the restaurant, do you need me to list out all possible methods to bypass physical blocks? Really? I am literally rolling my eyes here.

        I think you are very farsighted for the only reason of you not thinking beyond step 1, and don’t think objectively.

    3. I don’t know what you think apologizes are, but you give them when you do bad things, not when you do good things. the more you prove he was in the wrong, the more you justify the “apologize”.

      I never said she must forgive him, but at least he has the right to apologise and try to repair what he broke. that is the meaning of an apologize.

      >As for kneeling down at the restaurant, do you need me to list out all possible methods to bypass physical blocks?
      ok, do it.

      he did bad shit
      he want to apologize
      because you apologize when you do bad shit
      you don’t want him to apologize because he did bad shit
      ok

      you know, for someone who condemn the “Blindness of the arrogant”, you are very arogant yourself. you appart from very arrogant people use “literally rolling my eyes here”?

      I am not saying Ilumgand is in the right,
      but sif and yuno were probably worst bully
      mio and tomoe destoyed a city because of a bet
      we don’t know how many people suffered from shiki experiments
      the tree punishment by the forest ogres
      makoto wiped out thousands, maybe tens of thousands limia’s soldiers because he was angry against the demon army
      and you think llumgand shouldn’t have the right to apologise and try again.

      I think I am fairly objective on it. considered what I forgave for the protagonist, I can give a try to this antagonist.

      1. Actually, no, he does not have the right to apologize.
        He can try, sure, but Ruria is also allowed to avoid him, and seems she was better at avoiding than he was at apologizing.

  51. Ok, someone else with the demons? They are a very likeable race not like the hyumans that are only surpassed in trash level by elf race from kumo, and nobles in tate no yuusha

    And thanks form the double release

    1. I am not.

      they fucked ema’s tribe for years by using shen’s name and causing famines and sacrifice their maiden, to convince them to join their army even though they didn’t want.
      shen’s barriere was lifted without knowing why and rona had a spy in their tribe trying to convince them to join their army. probably not a coincidence.
      now, it look like they spread drugs in youth of human side to weaken them.

      you probably don’t see hyumans in good light because of the hate for the godess, they are bad because of the godess teaching, but probably not as bad as demons.

      I think the demon lord said in a past chapter he wanted to take revenge against the godess and enslave all hyumans (not sure If exact)

      1. Here is a quote from chapter 15:
        “If this plan succeeded it would have been possible to make a world where hyumans were slaves and the demon race dominated. It was also their deepest wish as ones who were looked down upon.

  52. Thanks for the double release.

    I think Rona done fuck up now!

    Her timing couldn’t be worse, had she done nothing or aborted her plan “Raidou” might have allied himself to the demons, but now Hopelance dupe is all but dead (seriously, those are some pretty big death flags he’s wearing).

    Hell, if anything she just lost the fortress and any demons that may be guarding it, Makoto’s response will be brutal and quick when he learns the demons are behind the death of a student and any trauma or problems his own student may have.

      1. I think he was asking when Makoto figures out that he’s the Devil. Right now, exactly three people know who the Devil is Sofia, Lancer, and Tomoe. Not even the man in question knows that he’s the Devil.

  56. Sooooo Roma was the one that gave the medicine to gritonia/lili? Interesting, now I’m wondering why, besides test subjects of course

  57. The Rembrandt sisters case was a “prank gone too far” by one of the adventurers, from what i understood, Lime Latte’s ideology of “Rembrandt company is taking the jobs of all adventurers” was taken too seriously by one of his subordinates, which is one of the best points of this series, the same behaviour can be seen on xenophobic people that say things like “these mexicans are taking our jobs” and similar stuff..

  58. Thanks for the doubl chapter. Now I wonder what’s the demon side plans are on academy town(?).

  62. Obrigado por este capitulo .
    thanks for all efforts for this double release and now all we ca do is wait for Makoto fail again and become a pawn in the demon side .

  63. Well, while I’m sure a lot of people called it back when Limia king noticed something wrong with Hopelace, I still feel the urge to say “called it.”

    I gotta say, I did not expect for Hopelace to be painted in such a favorable light. Especially the part with Ruria. Or that Rona actually came to Rotsgard for the purpose of examining Raidou.

    1. I’m a little conflicted that it seems the higher points of the Hyuman society are as bad as they are with enabling from the demons. Actually, did we ever find out who was responsible for the extremely powerful curse on the Rembrandts?

      And in case anyone forgot, there were those demons “sacrificing” orcs to “Shen” in order to subjugate their weakened tribe as a fighting force. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe they aren’t all actually scorpions requesting river rides from a bunch of frogs.

      1. The curse was actually Lime. Apparently, he requested someone to cast a small curse and get back at Rembrandt, but the one casting it went to far.

      2. Uhm i think that was the question actually. Why did that guy go overboard with the curse? Couldnt find any answers as of yet.

    1. Time for the real comment. As usual, thank you Reigo-senpai for the translation.

      Guys, small spoiler coming. This is the calm before the storm. These flashbacks with that Hopelace guy, Rona’s, these are what’s leading to what’s next. Trust me, none of you will be disappointed on what’s to come. Spoiler-san out.

      1. This aint no spoiler. This chapter being the calm before a storm is avtuqlly preeeetty obvious. This post just puts more hype for the next episode actually. And curse you for that! Now i really cant wait for the next one 😣

    2. Last time someone asked when Makoto will meet one of the heroes, you said something like 70+(?) So imma ask this time since im excited.

      When will Makoto meet one of the Heroes?!

    4. Lol, just kidding man.

      I don’t hate any particular classes/subclass, but I personally prefer warlocks.

      Have fun man, busy this week I doubt I can rank5 all 3 characters like I always do

      1. I already did and then restarted my warlock because I didn’t like her appearance. Going to do it again and try to hit level forty in time to rank 5 banner again.

      2. I love warlocks too!!! My second and third favorites are druid and priest!! I can get really good damage with the warlock, druid i can go from attack to heals back to attack if our heals suck, and i can do pretty good heals with the priest and generally carry my team in bg’s!!!

        also thank you very much for chapters!!!

  68. Knew it! It was Rona pulling those strings since she said something in those prev chaps. Oh man, is this the meaning “the world goes around”? Wth, oh and i remember a chap where raidou takes the three students who applied to take on his class but one male student peek his interest a bit but rejected in the end, i wished that was llumgand, because if he is, i wanna say “pfft! pityful! XD”, but i guessed not

  69. My best bet is that raidou gonna join the third army, the peace army… Which is actually quite contradictory cause tey would be goi to to war to bring peace in the land. Honestly its like, if you have control over everyone, then there will be no one who can fight you, and thus there will be peace. Sorta a messed up ideal tbh. Sounds like something hitler would say during his reign of terror. Like, world domination really is just making everyone under your control, sure ethnic cleansing is terrible, but it does to some effect bring the ideal closer. Though I say this, I feel like the story is gonna end like the shield hero maybe, where everyone in the end goes off to fight the terrible, godawful, bitch of a goddess.

    1. Lol, you make me laugh, peace, … Ofc , with all army dead, there will be peace… If only cause They will be dead or scared enough to piss their pants…. DEVIL time has come….

  71. I’m pretty pissed off right now and not because of the characters. I’m more pissed off at the author. In war and storytelling “timing is everything”. There wasn’t one good point in telling this story right now in fact it’s a spoiler. Would it have given more impact if the author turn the noble into a monster then left it as a cliffhanger then tell this story. With that route I would have been surprised when it happen and this chapter would have had greater impact. Now we don’t even get that anymore the author stole that little bit of entertainment away from the reader. If like the author didn’t plan any of this and is reaching for straws right now.

    1. Telling this story now is actually rather perfect though. It immediately puts Ilu,hand into light as a victim or both circumstance and a demon plot, lending him a sympathetic light (he just wanted to apologize but was thwarted continuously and then ruined by a drug), and it also immediately casts a pallor over his recent decision to possibly ally with the demons and keeps the immediate future up for grabs. Shit be going on, and it’s no doubt going to be messy.

      1. I just want this battle to start at the fort to happen already this tournament has completely lost my interest. The author been hyping this battle for almost 60 chapters so I’m hoping it will be good.

      2. Eh i see no sympathy. I see someone suiciding from being an idiot. Deserves applause, not sympathy.

  73. “It sounds as if I were praying to someone. Haha.

    Even though we have no God to pray to.”

    Something about that sounds like foreshadowing Makoto becoming the god of demons.

  75. Well, can’t believe i’m saying this but… the previous one is a lot entertaining than this. So short lol

    then again, this sounds like the impending start of battle? Or just cockblocked again.

    Thanks for the double chapter.

  77. This have a really strange line times…
    Because if Ilumgand’s was defeated by a female student whose level was a lot lower than the strengthened Ilumgand (in the tournament), then… when Rona pretended to be Karen Frost and infiltrated the school and meet Raidou?

    Thanks for the double chapter…

    1. Ilumgand was defeated by Amelia in a different class. They probably had a mock battle when she was still lower level than him.
      Right now she is already lvl 90+, so that happened in the past.

      1. But that is really weird, because Rona as Karen Frost meet Raidou at the same time that Amelia and Co. and that conversation happens before she probably have a mock battle as you said… but as the web novel said it happen after… but she is interested in Raidou because she didn’t knew who is he… that’s my point… and how she now knows the true about Shiki? (about the lich case…) When she obtain that info, because if i read again, Makoto knows the identity of all the demons and have Shiki for as sensor for that too…

      2. No, Karen Frost didn’t appear until the Rembrandt sisters returned, and her firs class was alongside Sif and Yuno. Amelia, Jin, and company had already been in the class for a few months working on Blue Lizard-kun. Ilumgand and Amelia’s fight happened sometime during this period before the Rembrandts, and became the impetus for Rona appearing in class at all.

        Also note that no one in the class significantly increased their levels until their trip to the forest, as they didn’t have the spare time.

    2. the timeline match. Because in the tournament Hopeless didn’t encounter Amelia, but Jin.

      It happened a lot earlier than the festival as stated in the story. Before Lime was imprisoned with Eva. Probably a few weeks after incorporating Blue Lizard-kun in his curriculum.

    3. Rona doesn’t know actually about Shiki ( or so I think) she just speculated it because of the forest onis near Makoto and the range of knowledge shown by Shiki that a normal hyuman would not have

  78. seems bland from the current flow story, especially after the continuous hype of the tournament and the anticipation of the finals of the team battle…..
    but hey…its a double release no matter what…..so thanks for the release ^_^

  82. Rona, Raidou might have an interest in meeting your Demon Lord, but if your plans harm ANY of his companions, friends & associates in any way, be prepared for a 3rd party to lay the smack down on you and you’re demon lord’s sorry ass.

    (Pst, Makoto. Better step up your bow training. And how to better utilize your magic power. Also, learn a few Strategic-Class Spells, like Material Burst.)

      1. Well, maybe. At least he must have a spell that means he’s not taking any of their shit anymore.

        Like:
        Macross Missile Massacre
        Death Ray
        Dimension Slash
        Mass Death Seekers

  84. Wait, isn’t the tournament is held after rona made contact with makoto?

    Didnt makoto tell rona to pull out from academy before the tournament?

    Why is
    “This is a story that happened a bit before she pretended to be Karen Frost and infiltrated the school.”

      2. Nope, it’s when they got class together, and for Solo Tournament Ilumgand on Warrior side and Amelia on Wizard side + for Team Tournament they didn’t meet yet [base on the chapter till now]…

    2. That Hopelace kid lost to Amelia is some unmentioned duel. He didn’t lose to her in the tournament, that was Jin he lost to. He also complained that she had only taken a few of Raidou’s classes. So this was pretty early on, before the two Rembrandt sisters joined, and before he started training em with the fun class. He had already specified some training for them then, so they were already showing results.

    3. No.
      Amelia crush hopeplace before tournament too.
      read where she got training with Zwis/Blue lizard.
      There she trying meet with makoto yet saw hopeplace talking to makoto angry.
      and she trying to break in but lose control her power

  86. Thanks for the chapters!!
    Can’t wait for Makoto badassery, if he did any. *laugh*

    [rant]
    No, seriously if he didnt show alpha reaction and continue being beta… He officialy piss me off.
    [\rant]

  90. at this point what i can say “f**k you rona for adding trouble to makoto” almost laugh at how she say want to make makoto indebted to demon race but remembering last chapter about merchant and how makoto trying to become someone behind the scene for demon there still possibility, at this point what i want is makoto splendidly spoiled all her plan and knowing his another problem (not really matter thought for makoto lel) is caused by her
    just hope Mio will bulldoze entire demon armies in that fort for pay back causing Makoto template problem like this and Toying that prideful demon general (who able to regenerate)

  91. Thanks for the double chapters (σ≧▽≦)σ. Sinse he’s a character i dont care about, it was a good thing for me that you posted the two chapters at the same time. I wonder if makoto will do something to stop the plan of the demons. I cant wait ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ

  93. I think I read before a chapter that says they(Rona) will learn to not mess around with Makoto and Company?

    2. I think it is more along the lines of the time when Rona discovers that he is the devil something like that

  96. At this point I just want raidou to start destroying everything… Or at least become known as a super fighting power on his own (￣3￣)

    1. He is already known but as “The Devil”, not Raidou.
      Things will be interesting when they notice Raidou = “The Devil”. 🙂

      3. Yuz – Sofia and Lancer both know Makoto’s “unique” physical characteristics, and also of the name ‘Raidou’ since he had unsuccessfully tried to prevent them from attacking him by introducing himself as his public persona. If they had passed on that information to any member of the Demon race, then the Demon Race must already know that he is the Devil. It’s highly doubtful that they shared that information, but it’s still a possibility.

  97. Wow, You’re on fire, Thanks */_again_/*!, another few decals:

  100. damn… when i saw the 2 new chapters i jump really happy till i read the titles… still more point of views? whats next? the point of view of the certain panties floating on the wind or WTF? to many POV chapters that i simply dont know who its next

    well leaving aside my anger of no following already story progress and regressing back at least thx to these 2 chapters 3 things were confirmed
    1 > reason of why the noble kid was completely mad ok its not a bad boy to begin with he was just so stupid to not act on time and receive a uknown drug from someone that makes him unable to control himself, < Amelia Family name it was stated that has no relation BUT my ass so %”·$”·$” obvious that once the boy dies or get disabled, it will be known that amelia was a hidden child for sure -_-. i will cut 2 fingers if i am wrong.

    3> battle ground , at least was already told that the objetive of demons its the important ppl at the event so problem would be in the city ( we mostly guessed that but some had doubts since the upcoming attack on the fortstress.

    anyway when next chapter? 2 more days? just to know really want to see if next chapter its another pov haha

  105. thanks for both the chapters these 2 really needed to be posted together cant wait for the reveal

  108. Knew the demons seemed slimy. But honestly, it has nothing to do with Makoto at all…if she had waited a bit, he would have pulled out of hyuman society all on his own…now he’s going to be provoked.

    But hell, Makoto’s team is the only team worth supporting at this point anyway… >.>

    Thanks for the chapters! 😀

    1. Hibiki can be supported as well since she is actually decent for a hero chosen by the bug. Though most likely she will come to Team Makoto anyway so that’s a moot point lol.

      1. Not if Makoto allies with the demon lord she won’t. I think what happens in the immediate future is going to determine things from here on out.

      3. She’s not as decent as people believe she is.
        Also her view of Makoto is not favorable, (I’ve been spoiled so I won’t say more).

      4. I have serious doubts about Hibiki. she is perfect to an annoying degree in this novel where most characters are flawed and interesting.

      6. @redcolonel Hibiki’s like a textbook hero in a novel where no pure character exist (except children) and Tomoki is like Fate Stay Night’s Shinji Matou, a cartoonishly evil guy.
        I think the Bug knew about Gritonia’s rebellion and threw Tomoki there as a disposable piece and favoured Hibiki as Limia’s hero, if the author intends to let the heroes live longer character growth is necessary so Hibiki might turn evil and Tomoki…well I don’t know.

      7. @DB AV
        I have to admit that you are right, she is too pure and look like an outsider compared to other caracter, but we still didn’t saw her very much, so it can be only superficial.

        but you pointed out an important point. if the godess knew about the empire rebelion, makoto should have ended in lorel, the 4th power being destroyed from the last war. when we saw the reprentente, she had 3 demon in her close guards. it seem far too many to be spies, annd if they aren’t related to the demon’s conquest it feel rude to bring them in a big meeting with other nation, if it’s discovered situation can become shit quickly without gain. meaning they are most likely ally of demons.
        if the godess knew about the empire situation, she would know about lorel, and wouldn’t put an hero there. so maybe she trew him so that he wouldn’t by recruted or eliminated by demon immediatly, and put him in the wasteland for him to see their recruting methodes and not falling too easily for their schemes, and thus having a trump card.
        or I am just giving her too much credits….

        1. You giving the bug way too much credit there. She was trying to get rid of Makoto hence threw him far away from everything and didn’t even let him have a means to communicate with hyumans.

      8. I’m not calling the Bug a sage but she must have some kind of intelligence and threw the weakest (mentally) hero to the place she suspected and her favorite to the safest place.
        Reread both heroes introduction once more while thinking that the Bug might be planning something and you’ll see how strange it was when she gave the heroes her blessings.

    2. First of all it was the FIFTH nation that was destroyed, Elysium. There are currently four Hyuman nations, Limia, Gritonia, Lorel, and Aion. The heroes were sent to Limia and Gritonia for only the very simple reason that they are the two closest nations to the demon war front lines, because that’s more or less how the Goddess operates. Lorel for its part lies beyond the empire of Gritonia, while Aion beyond Limia. Aion is also the country closest to Tsige and the wasteland, though neither are included within its national borders (which also puts Makoto’s place of impact far removed from the demon war).

      It is rather unlikely that the goddess has any knowledge of Hyuman political maneuvering, or any care for it at all. Her entire MO has been to reward beauty with power and then leave things well enough alone while she does… Whatever it is she does.

      It leads one to wonder how she can count Tsukuyomi as a friend, given how differing their concerns seem to be. I wonder if they’re secretly dating. >_>

    1. Nope. Since I saw that the two chapters were of someone we don’t care, I decided to bring out the two chapters so there would be no need to wait for it.

      1. Is there a way to know how much you have done on progress concerning the chapter you’re working on?

        I’ve seen some other translators do that and wondered if you might do that.

      3. Thanks for the double chapter, Reigo-sama!
        “the two chapters were of someone we don’t care”, w

        BTW, I wonder why the author makes a POV chapter for a character if they’re just gonna get rekt?

  111. Haha. So it WAS the demon’s side. Plenty of people called it. I wonder if Makoto will catch on? Shiki or Tomoe would probably figure it out soon if they cared to, but who knows if they’ll even care enough to tell him.

    Next question is….would the Demons pray to Makoto if he ever decides to become a god?

    1. assuming they havent angered him by the time he hits god status which should be what 2 or 3 weeks lol his neutralness should make him a good god to follow. Having said that form these chapters I dont think they are going to pray him but curse him as a devil after he gets done rampaging lol

    2. Leaving aside that everything is the demon side’s scheme, it’s a fact that the hyumans hurts Makoto first. It’s still their own fault to fall into demon’s trap. Who told them to be full of greed and envy?

      3. I think it more likely that Lorel told that merchant rep to say that stuff. Or added pressure at least. Lorel lady seemed super keen on getting Makoto to head to Lorel, perhaps keen enough to try to leave him with little other choice. That merchant rep had a foreign skin tone, which Lorel is a decent contender (he may have or been descended from Lorel people). Thing is, they think they dealing with just some random guy who found his way to their world by accident and not the freaking “Devil.” Lorel’s whole insular, secret, culture and advantages revolve around other worlders, so they may even result to underhanded methods to obtain them. Especially since it would be hard for Makoto to find out specifically which countries/companies are complaining about him. So it would be great for Lorel if they gain another “Wise One” with little risk of him finding out. The Lorel lady did specifically say that he would be faced with adversity very soon and he is always welcome to seek shelter in Lorel. They themselves may have added to his strife to get him. Just a theory, but one that definitely cannot be outright dismissed. As for the demon scheme, Makoto can’t be blamed for (probably gonna) stopping it since they never told him about it and ask him to do nothing (dubious if he’d heed such a request though). Sure this may make Rona butt-hurt that her scheme failed, but probably won’t cause Makoto to lose face with them since again, they never asked. This will probably even encourage them to listen to quite a few of his demands for his cooperation, or at least non-interference, in the future. And is it just me betting that the Demon Lord gonna be a woman, probably a loli? I can not picture it otherwise and will be disappointed if it’s some macho man…

  114. Rona and her plans are going to get destroyed. She’s pretty stupid for not researching Mio and Tomoe who’s power is publicly known in Tsige where Raidou’s company started.

    1. Yep she clearly doesn’t get just because he is taking a neutral stance doesn’t mean he will just stand around and let people die for no reason I see this going very very badly for the demons. as for Mio and Tomoe rememebr root is surpressing info about them level wise and root seems far better at info control then the demons are at intel gathering hell mio and tomoe s levels alone if found would make them shit pants in fear. Throw in him basicly being more powerful then teh goddess who if i read the fight with sofia right the goddess is actively trying to gimp him since when they used the ring that blocks the goddess power he became stronger.

      1. Root is suppressing the information from getting outside to the other kingdoms but it’s common knowledge in Tsige from what the Rembramt sisters said. If Rona wanted information on Raidou it shouldn’t be that hard to learn that he has only two stores from other merchants or traveling adventurers. The store has a very unique name and merchandise so talks about it should be pretty well-known considering other kingdoms are aware of it.

      2. If I remember correctly, Makoto didn’t get stronger when they used their ring to remove the influence of the Goddess.
        He just decided to get serious and remove his own rings (that are basically seals)
        So, to Sophia, it looked like Makoto became several times stronger because they removed the Bug’s influence.

      3. Then again it was hinted a few chapters back that he would rather side with the demons. It was something along the lines of “since the hyumans have 2 heroes isn’t it fine for the demons to have one, insect goddes?”

      4. John Somon – Wrong. Asgianoria7 said, Makoto removed the rings that sealed his powers. He did so at about the same time that the anti-Blessing ring was used, so they assumed that the Goddess had inflicted a curse/seal upon him which they had inadvertently removed.

    1. The direction from here on is too troublesome to think, to many party in here, to many schemer, to many blind spot…
      And that indicate the author have his own unique quirk on his mind, well, let’s just sit down cozily with popcorns and colas…
      :3…

      3. The downside is… Raidou’s presence as the main protagonist in this seems to decrease every time.

        It’s as is he is slowly becoming just an overpowered background merchant character.

      5. I actually like this. Too many author focus on the protag an fail to develop the world or make them go on power trips. That fact that he shifts through the different perspectives show he that to other characters actions have much more significance than in other stories where the protag is given ‘right is my way’ feel.

      6. @JustChilling I agree with you. without a good world building the story become boring and empty. a story without it will facus on the main character, but that character have to be interesting. in a summoning or reincarnating story, the MC is a mister everybody, and isn’t interesting in himself.

        the pov help to make charactere more people than NPC, having a less superficial view on things.
        like hopelace, he was immediatly dispised by everybody calling him trash, without even knowing his motives. only because he was an antagonist.
        And now, with his back story, most people would have hailed his actions if he was the MC. why? because he would be in the “light” spot.

        it is why I like other pov, for the feeling of people and, not a NPC talking his pre-made sentence before dipearing. because the MC pov is a pov of a character, and by definition lack objectivity.

    1. “Some serious shit is about to go down. Flags…. Flags EVERYWHERE!!!!”
      “I know…Theres got to be enough flags to represent every flag detector that overload to the point of exploding as well as every partner that died from them combined…. So probably about 90,000.”
      “….. Sal?”
      “make that 90,001….-BOOM- ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
      …………………. Each.”
