Chapter 65-66: Library War

Translator Note:
Oh boy, there’s no way I would leave these two chapters out*cough*!
Forget what I said about the two previous chapters of sunday, they will be counted as sponsored while these 5 chapters will be normal ones*cough*. They had to come as a set, so here *cough* they are. *cough*……barely made it……

The light hero, Karen-san, who I work as an assistant for. If we talk of Yorishiro as the peak of the Light Church, then Karen-san is truly the face of the Light Church.
The two holy women that the Church cannot be without, have reunited in this place.
“Karen-san?! Why?!” (Haine)
“I wonder why? This is truly a coincidence. Fufufufu~~!” (Karen)
Karen-san was laughing with her mouth, but her eyes were not laughing.
She was looking at me with those freezing cold eyes of hers.
“I also have my free days as a hero, you know? Is it that bad to be in a facility of my homeland?” (Karen)
“Ah…and so, Karen-san, today you are in casual clothes huh. This is the first time I see you in those, it looks cute.” (Haine)
“Thanks. But Haine-san, you yourself have quite the cute girl accompanying you.” (Karen)
Karen-san’s gaze increases even more in coldness, and I was about to freeze by the decrease in temperature here!
Why is Karen-san so scary when we only met by coincidence in the city?!
“Also, Yorishiro-sama, how do you do?” (Karen)
“Ara, so you knew.” (Yorishiro)
“If it were someone else, it would be a different story, but I have a lot of audiences with Yorishiro-sama almost every day, so even if you take off your veil, I can tell by your voice and presence.” (Karen)
Yorishiro stands up from her seat and glares at Karen-san with an upright posture.
Karen-san was standing upright from the very beginning.
*Bigi bigi bigi bigi!*
The sounds that I shouldn’t be able to hear from the atmosphere were jumping right into my ears!
“Is it okay to ask you one question, Founder-sama?” (Karen)
“Go ahead.” (Yorishiro)
“What are you doing alone with Haine-san? Haine-san is supposed to have work at the knight corps today as well.” (Karen)
“Ara, I am surprised you know, hero.” (Yorishiro)
“Haine-san is my assistant after all. More importantly, answer my question please. What are you two doing here?” (Karen)
“A date.” (Yorishiro)
“?!!” (Karen)
Maybe because she said it so straightforwardly, Karen-san stiffened without being able to say anything more.
“A date. It is the act of a man and a woman playing outside with just the two of them. Of course, it is not as acquaintances or as friends; there’s the need of both parties to view each other as members of the opposite sex or it wouldn’t be considered a date. By the way, I have changed Haine-san’s work today to a paid leave. With my authority.” (Yorishiro)
“Uhm…! T-Then, you two are…!” (Karen)
How can you be so decisive, Yorishiro-san?
It was so assertive that even Karen-san has been dumbfounded by it.
“But please don’t misunderstand.” (Yorishiro)
“Eh?”
“Today’s date is more of a reward from Haine-san for me. Haine-san made a debt with me, in order to save you.” (Yorishiro)
“Save me?!” (Karen)
Being told this, Karen-san gets even more confused.
Yorishiro didn’t reveal everything, but it makes me uneasy how much she will be telling.
“In order to return that debt, Haine-san is keeping me company. That’s why, Karen-san, there’s no need to be jealous. You should instead be happy. Haine-san went so far for you.” (Yorishiro)
Even if she says that, so many important parts are hazy, so there’s no way Karen-san would understand it.
‘This will be hard to smooth over later’ is what I thought when…
“But, putting all those things aside, I love Haine-san.” (Yorishiro)
Those few words of Yorishiro blew away everything. Blew away everything complicated.
“Hah?!”
“Haah?!”
Karen-san and I shouted at that way too explosive of a statement.
“There’s no lie in this. As a woman, I love the man Haine-san. Even if this is to repay a debt, spending a day with Haine-san makes me incredibly happy. I am thinking about having a relationship with Haine-san on a level where we both love each other. For that sake, I will not hesitate in doing what I can.” (Yorishiro)
What are you saying?! What are you blurting out here, Yorishiro?!
Why in this timing, in this place, and with this person in specific are you spilling out so much?!
How am I going to face Karen-san from tomorrow on! Are you planning on destroying all my human relations?!
“!!!”
Karen-san was probably unable to take on all that intensity, she hides her completely red face.
‘It would probably be better for me to do some kind of follow-up here’, is what I thought as I was going to cut into the conversation, but…
“…Then, I also have something to say to Founder-sama!” (Karen)
“What is it?” (Yorishiro)
“I also love Haine-san!!” (Karen)
And Karen-san went and confessed too?!
Leaving aside Yorishiro, Karen-san as well?!
I could only get surprised now.
“It was love at first sight since the moment I met him…… No, in the time when I scouted Haine-san, it was more like I was charmed by him as a reliable companion and a person I can share my values with. But in the time I spend together with him and fought together with him, I was slowly being pulled in, and a deep affection that surpassed camaraderie and friendship blossomed, and from that moment on, I began to be aware that I am a woman.” (Karen)
“That’s splendid-desu wa, Karen-san.” (Yorishiro)
“That’s why, I will say this clearly. Founder-sama –no, Yorishiro-sama, you having a date with Haine-san is incredibly unpleasant! Even if you tell me that was for my sake, it doesn’t make me happy at all! Haine-san is…the person that will become my boyfriend!!” (Karen)
I honestly can’t keep up with the pace of this situation.
Looks like two women are fiercely competing over one man. And apparently, that man is me.
I can understand that. But there are situations where, even if you understand, you simply don’t want to. For the first time today, I have learned this.
“That was a great confession. As expected of our hero.” (Yorishiro)
“You as well, Yorishiro-sama. Even though you have less chances of being in contact with Haine-san, at some point in time, you were able to get a date. That shrewdness, as expected of our Founder.” (Karen)
“Ufufu.”
“Fufufu.”
Women are scary.
Now then, how should I move in this situation?
If I simply follow my instincts, it would be to leave it as if nothing has happened, and retreat from this place right this instant.
Or more like, I want to do that. Let’s do it.
With my heart set, I tried to retreat without making a sound, but…
“Haine-san.”
“…Yes?” (Haine)
I was easily stopped.
“Since we are here, let’s hear the opinion of Haine-san.” (Yorishiro)
“Right, that’s exactly right. Haine-san, Yorishiro-sama or I…” (Karen)
“”Who do you want as your girlfriend?””

  • 66: The two holy women

Being in this situation I didn’t expect at all, I ended up cornered.
‘Why did it turn out this way?’, is the only thing I can think of this.
At one side, there’s the female Founder that controls one of the most prominent five churches in the world, moreover, she is a Goddess; on the other hand, the female hero that represents that same church.
I have been confessed by both sides.
I don’t know what would be the best way to deal with this.
In the first place, this Kuromiya Haine has not received the love of a woman of the same age since the time I was born.
The village I was born in didn’t have that many people after all. On top of that, there were many occasions where I helped with my father in his job as a hunter, so my chances at interacting with people of my age weren’t that many.
And naturally, there were practically no instances where I spoke with women.
There were occasional times where I would get asked by girls about ‘wanting to pick edible wild plants’ and I accompanied them as a bodyguard since my job was a hunter. As a show of gratitude, they told me ‘I will treat you with a feast of edible plant dishes’, and was called to the girl’s house. And while at it, she also told me ‘it is late so, how about staying the night here?’……… sorry, it seems I really did have times when I was confessed.
But this is the first time I was confessed in such a straight way.
Moreover, by two at the same time.
It is true that I am the reincarnation of the Dark God Entropy and am a God at my core. As a God, I have transcended all emotions and wouldn’t waver over love.
But right now, the vessel I have this God soul in is without doubt human.
As long as I am a human, have a flesh vessel, have a body, I can’t stay estranged from its instincts and desires.
I want to live, I don’t want to die, I am hungry, it is cold, it is hot, I am sleepy, I want to have sex, I want to love, I want to be loved, I want to make the person I love happy, I want a place to be, I want a family, I don’t want to be lonely, I want to love someone, love, love, love!
…Are the kind of emotions that come from my heart, but it also manifests in my body as well.
That’s why, even if it’s not a problem for the Dark God Entropy, it is a big problem for the human Kuromiya Haine.
And at this very moment!!
“Now, Haine-san.” (Karen)
“Who are you going to choose as your girlfriend?” (Yorishiro)
The two beauties were persistently closing in like wild animals going after their prey.
Do I have to choose from one of them right now?
That in itself is incredibly heavy for me, or more like, it would be incredibly painful for the person that wasn’t chosen.
After thinking it thoroughly, I finally prostrated.
“Uhm, sorry. Is it really necessary to bring out an answer right now?” (Haine)
Is what I plead with a tear in my eye.
That figure of mine must have looked pretty shameful. The intensity of those two disappeared.
“Geez, Haine-san, there’s no need to say that with those eyes.” (Karen)
“Looks like we pressed for an answer way too hastily. This is something important. It would be better to take the time to bring out an answer. Is that okay, Karen-san?” (Yorishiro)
“Of course, Yorishiro-sama. Let’s compete fair and square!” (Karen)
Is what she says as the two heroines exchange a firm handshake.
The two are good girls at heart, so this situation that is normally a muddy path has been smoothly sheathed back.
At any rate, can this be considered as…being saved?
“But there’s one thing I want to say to Haine-san.” (Yorishiro)
“Really?!” (Haine)
Is what I thought, but Yorishiro once again pursues.
What is it this time?
“It is valid to choose both.” (Yorishiro)
“”Eeeeeeeh?!!””
This shocked both Karen-san and I.
Valid to choose both? What’s the meaning of this?
“In other words, this is what I mean.” (Yorishiro)
Yorishiro joyfully walks to a bookshelf that was at the side.
Ah right, this is a library.
Yorishiro chose one book from the bookshelf and takes it out. The title of that book got the attention of Karen-san.
“…Isn’t that…the scriptures of our Light Church?” (Karen)
“Scriptures?” (Haine)
“It is a book that has the stories of the Light Goddess Inflation that the Light Church worships, history of the early days of the church, precepts that the believers of the Light Church have to abide to, and precepts that the previous Founder-samas preached about. For us, the scriptures of the Light Church are the most sacred of books. In Apollon City, there will always be one book in each family.” (Karen)
“Eh? I don’t have one though?” (Haine)
I just recently entered the church after all.
Ignoring what we were talking about, Yorishiro turns the pages of this so called scripture.
I already knew this, but she really is a person that goes at her own pace.
“…Karen-san, can you recite by memory the precepts of the church?” (Yorishiro)
“Eh?! U-Uhm…” (Karen)
Karen-san was flustered for a while, and in time, she hung her head down.
“Sorry, I can’t!” (Karen)
“It is fine. Remembering all of the scriptures of Light, there’s not a single one in the current higher-ups of the church who can do it….. And so, the important part is here.” (Yorishiro)
“Eh?” “Eh?”
We concentrated on the part of the scriptures Yorishiro pointed at.
It was a page that was written as the precept clauses, and shows the commandments and rules that the Light Church believers have to abide to.
At that place, this is what was written.
[The person that will become the husband of the Founder will be allowed polygamy.]
“Ooooi!!!”
There’s no way I wouldn’t retort to this.
“…Hey, this passage here, you were the one who included it in the scriptures, right? You were the one who abused your authority, right?” (Haine)
“Oh my, Haine-san. Even if I am the Founder, there’s no way I would be able to readily change the scriptures that can be considered the very roots of the church-desu wa.” (Yorishiro)
“Eh? Then…” (Haine)
When I was in the middle of my confusion, Yorishiro whispered this to me.
(…When the church was established, I ordered them through an oracle to include it.) (Yorishiro)
“So it really was you!!” (Haine)
It wasn’t an abuse of authority as a Founder, but as a God!
What an unbelievable God!
…Hm? Wait. In that case, instead of Yorishiro, it is more like, the Light Goddess Inflation had already predicted something like this would happen from that far back in the past…
“‘I have already predicted what you would do’…… Those words you said to me before, I will throw them right back at you-desu wa.” (Yorishiro)
“Ooow?!” (Haine)
Are you telling me she predicted I would reincarnate as a human after my release since several centuries back and was doing the preparations for it?
In order to enjoy her human live with me as much as she could?
“And so, if we go by this precept, it is possible to love both Karen-san and I at the same time.” (Yorishiro)
“Both…at the same time…” (Karen)
Karen-san repeats those words entranced.
“How about it, Karen-san? Of course, if you want to monopolize Haine-san, I will have no choice but to fight with you fair and square though…” (Yorishiro)
“Yorishiro-sama!” (Karen)
Karen-san tightly held both hands of Yorishiro.
“Our Founder!” (Karen)
Karen-san fell…

  7. In his defense, Inflation is a stalker though. Haine has no obligation to say yes other than the threat of being stalked some more.
    …Well, stalker if we’re feeling mean. Childhood friends if we’re being generous.

  8. …Haine.
    Do NOT fuck this up and be some wishy washy little bitch.
    If the BOSS , the unbelievably HOT BOSS of your Church, and the woman/Goddess who’s been in love with you for over 1600 YEARSS, reincarnated as a human JUST to follow you AND says having many wives is okay…
    FUCKING. SAY. YES.
    DON’T FUCK THIS UP!!!!!

  9. You know… I think we’ve just found out how Coacervate managed to rope Inflation to join the fight against Entropy…. By enticing her with the possibility to be able to marry Entropy and bear his child….

    1. Long time no see Artemis ~
      I missed you. ｡^‿^｡
      …
      That’s a possibility.
      However, I got a feeling that there is more than that factor at play. Seeing that Inflation is the scheming kind of person/god, there’s no way she didn’t caught on earlier that something is wrong when Coacervate gathers all gods to seal Entrophy. She must’ve noticed it. Going along with that at the moment was part of her grand scheme.
      Her real intention is stil in the vague. Not that I don’t trust her. I trust that she planned something bigger than this. More than the human world. The god’s world may be at stake.

      1. What do think the chances are that maybe either Wind or Earth God might be woman? Might spark something with the Light Goddess.

        1. Earth Goddess might possess a human female body. There’s no earth monster (yet) so I think he/she is good.
          Wind god is still a mystery but I guess he’s on the bad side

  10. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo but yaaaaay, no~ to not knowing what she says (hearing is better than supposing) and yay for the no bloody/long love triangle where MC would go for the hero because he don’t want to tie the knot with goddess. Probably why she added that last part. Guehehehe.

  11. Correct me if I’m wrong.
    Reigokai said that these chapters are considered Normal Chapters. It means… that the next Normal Chapters will come out tomorrow. There’s a four-days gap (have a good rest Reigokai).
    But the day after that is Sunday, time for Sponsored Chapter. It means, Reigokai is ending his four-days rest with a 10 chapters release. If you ask me, the ‘four rest days’ would be full of stuff to do. Work, study, sports, dating (if any) and etc. etc.
    When did he get the time to translate 10 chapters?? Reigokai either had to pull them out of his ass at the last minute (hopefully not) or he did the translations during free times in those ‘four rest days’.
    If it’s the latter, I’d like to ask, when did Reigokai actually rest?? 1 a.m – 6 a.m ?
    All this, ever since TsukiMichi (which is terribly long in word counts).
    Reigokai is either an avid workaholic who even dreams about work in sleep,
    Or
    A genius of time discipline who can even embarass a Japanese working guy,
    Or
    A robot / synth disguising as a human otaku translator serving Seinvolf-bot,
    Or
    Is actually more than one person working as one persona, Rei & Go & Kai
    I think he’s the third.

    1. Spoiler truck:……… From what i can get from google translate failure, the new tsuki chapter seems to show the 3 underlings rekting the picnic roses, tomoe going platinium mad and still no info on mio’s duel with whatshisface.

  17. Many Thanks for the chapters! Just, be sure to take care of your health first and foremost please.
    Karen-san wa kowai-desu.

    Umu. Albeit I was just a tad…. worried because of Karen-san suddenly popping up, I have to say, I’m really pleasantly satisfied by how author-sama simply said “screw off unnecessary and long love drama”. Nice, really nice how direct and assertive Yorishiro behaved. Though I would really like to see some backstory or reason as of why she loves him so… deeply.
    And, way to go Karen-kun too! It might be the amazing pace of Reigokai-sama, but this rapid relationship development is quite the refreshing feeling.

    “Ufufu.”
    “Fufufu.”
    Women are scary.

    Umu, umu. I can’t stop nodding in approval. Those are some fine women you found, dear MC whose experience with the other sex was limited to girls that simply asked him ‘wanting to pick edible wild plants’.
    “The person that will become the husband of the Founder will be allowed polygamy.”
    That’s some keikaku you planned bazookasLight Goddess.

    1. At this point, basically anything can be taken to have some sort of secret meaning. From “picking edible wild plants together” to “sharing mana” to “fighting monsters”…it seems that everything is lewd.
      From the fact that Inflation actually responded to Haine’s effort put into their date makes me want to see a few flashbacks of the two as well. It makes it seem like there’s genuinely some sort of history between the two that led her to fall for him instead of any immediate natural phenomenon.
      …Hmm. I wonder if the fact that they existed at the beginning of creation together means they qualify as “Childhood friends”? In the end, that tag means a long history, and you can’t beat the history between gods, right?

      1. I would like to tribute this song to Inflation-sama (Yorishiro).
        *cough*
        Acapella.
        I remember sitting with you (sitting there with you) ~
        Underneath the tree of life (beneath the tree of life) ~
        We listened to every fainted cry
        Of the creatures there on the day the world began.
        Looking at everything that I’ve lost (everything that I’ve lost) ~
        And almost everything that I’ve loved (everything that I’ve loved) ~
        I’ll hold them all (in my arms)tightly in my arms,
        Wondering where I am, so please (please) tell me where to go.
        All of the answers you seek (all of the answers you seek) lie hidden in the sun (Ta-i-yo)
        If I hadn’t met you my life [if I hadn’t met you my life]
        would’ve been in the (in the darkness forever) darkness forever
        In my wings (In my wings) are the powers of immortality
        But by meeting you (You) my whole life has changed (changed)
        You give light to me hope to me strength into my life ~
        <>
        All this time, these twelve thousand years (all this time, these twelve thousand years)
        I know Aishiteru (I’ve been loving you)
        Eight thousand years from the time that
        I’ve met you my love grows strong than ever before (oh My love)
        Words can’t say of this time (words can’t say of this time)
        I’ve been waiting (I’ve been waiting) to share my love with you (Aishiteru)
        I’d give you my life,
        I would give you the world to see you smiling every day (smiling every day) ~
        One hundred million and two thousand years (one hundred million and two thousand years)
        from now Aishiteru [Aishiteru]
        I want you to know since you came in my life every day, every night
        you give light into the darkest skies (skies)
        All these twelve thousand years I’ve been loving you .

          2. I thought sounded familar. Like that series too. I have both season 1 + 2 that is the Save edition.

      2. Will we reach a point where every single action will be marked as lewd?
        “Oh, I just helped carrying an old lady’s shopping ba-”
        “GYAHHHHH! HENTAIIII!!”
        I fear for the future.
        Agreed. Though, how could I not notice they could be viewed as childhood friends!? That alone is enough to bind their fate. Still, with such long relationship, author-sama must have lots of chance to fill the uknown bits of their past with deep events. So, I hope that’s the case too.

        1. Here’s a game. I’l throw in a bunch of random statements. Tell me if any of them don’t sound like they’re actually talking about something lewd or otherwise wrong. You don’t have to read them in a sultry voice or anything if you don’t want. 🙂
          “Please polish it to a mirror sheen by tomorrow.”
          “Would you like fries with that?”
          “Good morning.”
          “I wanna to go to the park.”
          “Is that everyone?”
          “Call me Jerry.”
          “I’m liking it so far.”
          “Excuse me.”
          So far, kinda liking their interactions. Definitely craving more Inflation and Haine for the future.

          1. Hm, let’s see. The ones that made me think of lewd things were:
            “Please polish it to a mirror sheen by tomorrow.”
            “Good morning.” (all those awakening with a foreign body in your sheets can’t go unseen anymore…)
            “I’m liking it so far.” (very misleading if you are a fellow gentleman of culture obviously)
            “Excuse me.”
            Hou, less than what I expected actually. It might be because I do not watch or read many Anime, Manga, LN or VN of that genre perhaps.

      4. I highly welcome Infation as the ‘childhood friend’. We got to break that trope that childhood friends would often deny their feelings towards the MC and act all tsundere-ish and thinking they would win the MC anyway just because they’ve known the MC longer. This is why they often lose!

        1. I love childhood friends settings. It’s grounds for instant bonus points from me, though a poorly done one will instantly lose them right after.
          To be honest though, I wouldn’t mind seeing some platonic instances of them once in a while. Psychologically speaking, children in their development years up to about the age of 6-7 tend to classify the people close to them as family, so childhood friends should be more like siblings than a pair romantically interested in each other.
          By focusing so much on that cliche, stories often miss out on the opportunity to just show really nice friendships where the two parties get to know each other really well from a long history together.

          1. Okay… I’m not an idiot who can’t catch such innuendo (whatever it is).
            I know that ‘sharing mana’ is definitely lewd. ‘Picking edible wild plant’ is new, coming from this novel. Since when did ‘fighting monsters’ became lewd? Well, I can accept that, but “carrying an elder woman’s bag” isn’t lewd at all… unless there’s something wrong with speaker’s morality.
            Speaking of your game, I totally don’t think there’s lewdness/pervertness coming from those dialogues.
            Maybe I’m innocent, who knows.
            Maybe if we leave it to Mr. Pun, something like that can turn perverse.
            Maybe…
            Possibly?
            Absolutely.

  19. It’s a bit early in your country Reigokai.
    But I’m gonna do this anyway, (⌒∇⌒)
    Hehehe… Ready ? (๑>ᴗ<๑)

    "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ISEKAI LUNATIC !!"
    ((≧∇≦*) (*≧▽≦) (≧∇≦*) (*≧▽≦))
    (づ￣ ³￣)づ Let me hug you ~
    WOOHOOOOO ……….
    It has been 2 years since you start posting TsukiMichi. d(･ω･)b
    Time stamp for the first post and comment was 23 Aug. 2015 you know.
    Thanks for everything !

    1. Two years of magical ride to isekai.
      ｡^‿^｡
      … and the recent isekai bazooka explosion too.
      ≖‿≖
      Good job! Let’s have another year of awesomeness! Now, to isekaaaaiii… !

    2. Oh wow. That’s amazing.
      I wonder if I should say “Two years already” or “Only two years?”. To think Reigokai has already uploaded his translations over 300 times.

      1. Not counting DEH and World Reform, that is already A LOT.
        2 years is a long time, in terms of internet and also animal years. As an orca… I mean, a cat/dog, he would be a splendid adult already.
        Time to celebrate ! I made cake ! Tuna cake with mackerel frostings. Mmmm…

      2. Oh my goodness. My English is dead now. I used Google Translate and I don’t understand a thing (except few plot points).
        Well… time to wait for our Hero Reigokai to step in and slay this Behemoth (Sparta-style).

        1. For some reason, all I can imagine the chapter as this big scary language monster and we’re the little critters that scurry in to gorge ourselves on the leftovers after Reigokai slays it for us.

          5. Isn’t that a harem?
            … you mean we’re part of Reigokai’s harem !? 0.o
            Harem… you can be either Pochi or Tama. I won’t join you, but I can be the pet orca.

          6. So, you are also reading the “Death March” series. Then I will be Liza since she has the spear and she is superior to the Orca. : P

          8. Mack is my nickname. When I was in 4th grade the coach would always call me that after a famous Blue’s song. And the spear came into mind when I thought of Liza and when I remember this.
            https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh-arcv/images/2/23/Ep48_The_Legendary_Fisherman.png/revision/latest?cb=20161112084642
            It is the legendary fisherman from the 1st Yugioh show. Which later is owned by Joey my favorite character in all of Yugioh. I really was always trying to find that card back when was into collecting them but just gave up on it.

          10. To be honest, I dropped it around the time it caught up with the original releases.
            It’s okay enough as a slice of life, but as expected, it really can’t hold my attention when there’s no tension and no main couple to make me stay. Plus that whole world is a sh*thole and my best girls probably won’t get anywhere.

          11. I admit, I enjoyed the series lot more when he starting out as no body but then he started making the schools, recipes, etc. Now he pretty much establish his business empire, I pretty sure at this point the author will finish up the series.

          12. Harem? Come now. It’s just a family. Family.
            You can be the divine bird tagging along the party if you want. I’d rather be the avid meat eaters, thank you.

          13. I’m not a bird.
            So, not harem? Then how do you define that ‘not-blood-related-but-closer-than-siblings’ relationship ?? To me that sounds like harem (in a different meaning).

          16. It’s the analysis and subsequent classification of love. Storge is familial love, Philieo is friendship, Eros is romantic, and Agape is unconditional.
            There’s a whole Wikipedia and TVTropes page on it.

          17. You could be 1. It was said that 400 million years ago that mammals (like fish) evolve into reptiles (dinosaurs), then into birds. So it could happen someday. : P

          20. Those henchmen with the skeleton like costumes made think of the people in Mexico who wear them during their holiday Day of the Dead(Dia de los Muertos). I thought of it after I watch the James Bond Movie Spectre.

  22. I have been confessed by both sides.
    I don’t know what would be the best way to deal with this.
    There’s two options
    1) The path of the Riajuu
    Yorishiro is (insert lip service) while karen is (insert lip service)
    2)The path of the wizardly sage
    The two of you are to beautiful to be in a relationship with me, I fear that people will call you easy women or something along those lines, so please forgive me for being too unworthy of you
    Well, those lines in theory should get the job done, but reality may prove otherwise….

  28. What the… So the his harem was established right then and there? 0_0 This is the oddest thing I’ve ever read, but all the more original and I like it.

    1. I know, right?
      I also laughed so much that people were looking at me with pitiful eyes.
      No.. don’t look at me like that! I’m looking at a phone alright? Not laughing alone. Wait.. oh man..

  33. thanks for the chapter
    [The person that will become the husband of the Founder will be allowed polygamy.]
    1600 years old keikaku at work

    2. It’s kinda sad that Inflation’s plan to get together with her man is more worthy of “All according to keikaku” than Coacervate’s “it was my plan all along” bluff.

      1. Considering how the girls so far are designed in this story though, I have a feeling the fanservice would be just as bad if we ever got any sort of drawn adaptations too.
        Which is a shame, really. Fanservice has really dragged down plenty of decent stories.

    1. No? There is no dark element hero. There is no dark church, either. Enthropy, aka Kuromiya Haine, was sealed ever since the time of genesis by the other Gods. Not counting those five Gods, and Karen and Mirack, who were told about Enthropy by Yorishiro, no one in the whole world knows there are six creation Gods, and not five like they believe. Unless Haine decides to found a dark church and have a dark hero, there won’t be any

      1. Though, there could be a girl who knows how to use the dark element and is just hiding in the mountains coz dark element is unknown to everyone.

        1. That… sounds plausible, actually. It was mentioned that despite no one knowing, everyone have certain affinity with the dark element, after all. There could be someone with a remarkably strong affinity with the dark element out there. It would be also kinda interesting if ethereal were some kind of byproduct of the dark element in the world

  38. thanks you very much as always…
    as i thought Haine offered something to inflation but…. WHY?! why inflation not ask him to doing sex for one night?? although she love him so much and even want have baby with him, isn’t she going dull after many centuries ?? *perv side switch on*

      1. Maybe they have a special something to drink to prevent pregnancy like in “Gun-Ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara”. But thinking of it having a God of Darkness and Light having baby in that world sounds interesting. Maybe it will both of there powers.

    3. you do realize she already ask that and Haine rejected since he already know that if he do that and she got pregnant, he have to TIED to DEAL with her (check the chapter 63 bruh, Inflation already ask that and got rejected)

      2. yeah i know about that… but the reason inflation rejected because she ask to having sex for baby making, so why she not ask him to have sex just for enjoyment or lust??

  39. Thanks for the chapters Reigokai!
    Damn it Reigokai, really, take a rest. What are we going to do if you pass out? Take care of your health akd don’t overwork.
    In any case, sorry for Karen, but as long as Inflation-chan and Celestis are in the harem, I don’t really care for the others. I hope Celestis gets some love later on. And damn, that one moment when you realize that you were dancing in the palm of your waifu all along XD

  40. haha just started reading it this looks like interesting , but damn that goddess she literally already checkmated haine from 1600 yerrs ago and that water god that get the title of schemer?? what a joke!
    now i’m even suspected the reason inflation also join another Gods to seal haine was because she wanted haine to reincarnated as human because as a human haine will more easily fallen to lust.

  47. This goddess planned it so perfectly for 1600 years goddamnit this goddess is on a whole new level of goddesses that I knew
    Thanks for the chap ~

  48. okay….
    Best Girl 1st = Pervert yet shrewd Founder/Goddess
    Best Girl 2nd = pure yet Bold Hero
    and too bad Haine-san… your Heroine Join the “LIght Side”
    and become part of Shrewd Goddess army….
    lol

  50. Gosh! This has to be the funniest day in my life. Reading The Library War is like watching real war.
    At first, it was war between two countries (Haine vs Yorishiro). Theeenn.. it turns into a three sided war (Haine vs Yorishiro vs Karen).
    The country named Haine was cornered on both side. His defenses (trying to change conversation topic) failed spectacularly due to the cold winter storm.
    *thunderous sound*
    *Bigi bigi bigi bigi*
    “A date.” (Yorishiro)
    *insert gunshot here*
    However,the gunshot proved to be non fatal.
    “Today’s date is more of a reward from Haine-san for me. Haine-san made a debt with me, in order to save you.” (Yorishiro)
    *insert a loud punch sound*
    A fake out shadow punch for distraction. The main weapon comes…
    “But, putting all those things aside, I love Haine-san.” (Yorishiro)
    *insert explosion sound*
    Yorishiro brought out the ‘bad boy’ bomb.
    “I also love Haine-san!!” (Karen)
    *insert another explosion sound*
    Karen’s counter strike with her own ‘bad boys’.
    Haine-san is…the person that will become my boyfriend!!” (Karen)
    *insert flaming explosion sound*
    No kidding. That second bomb was napalm!
    [The person that will become the husband of the Founder will be allowed polygamy.]
    *a huge nuclear explosion*
    Yorishiro ended the war with h-bomb.
    “‘I have already predicted what you would do’…… Those words you said to me before, I will throw them right back at you-desu wa.” (Yorishiro)
    “Ooow?!” (Haine)
    *insert sounds of crying war victims*
    Adding salt to injury. Haine woes.
    “Our Founder!” (Karen)
    *insert victorious war song*
    Haine’s fate was sealed in this moment. He will be split in half as the spoil of war. Or maybe 5? Or 6?

      2. No, no… it was clear that Karen also surrendered herself in the end. That’s how I interpreted the last few line, at least.
        (Why are we arguing about this of all things? lol)

          1. But there will different versions and many theories of that day. I many debates over this day.

          2. That may be, but the truth also tends to reveal itself eventually.
            I’m some somewhere, there’s a diary that perfectly documents the thoughts of important influential figures.

          3. And on that day the will make a movie out of it to reveal to the entire of the truth what happen that day. 🙂

  51. I didn’t know it was possible, but Inflation has risen even further as best girl. Where can I sign up for the Light Church?

    1. The contract is at the back of the Adventurer Guild registration form.
      Just sign here…. and put your thumbprint here…
      Done.
      Welcome to the Axis Cult ! No,
      I mean, the Light Church!

  52. Reigokaiii!!
    Even though you just said you need some rest and extend the schedule, what the hell is this 10-chaptes release?!!
    I forbid you from doing any more translation for 2 weeks! Go and have a good rest!!
    Guys!! Tie him up!! You arr not doing any translation any time soon, reigokai!!

  53. LOL…
    Haine: How do I get out of that?
    Haine: I know! *jumps through a window*
    But the main problem is why did she seal him? If she had joined him, they would have taken care of the other gods…

    1. I assume that Coacervate managed to convince her with his own twisted brand of logic.
      Something like “if you don’t make it an overwhelming disadvantage, it’ll turn out bad for Entropy too”.
      Either “Humans will take damage in the crossfire and he’ll be sad” or “Entropy himself will receive wounds instead of merely being sealed until he calms down”

  54. Reigokai, you’re coughing badly.
    Please take care of yourself.
    Don’t push yourself too much.
    I have penguin soup cooked with ginseng. Here, have some. It’s good for orca. It’s good for you.

    1. Oh! Then, here’s one of my feathers. Good for one resurrection. And a small bottle of my tear. Heal all wounds and ailments.

      1. and from me 500 ml T-Rex’s saliva, with that your strength +500 , attack power +300, def +400, and some other buff…

      2. Wut… If Reigokai take in all that, he’s gonna be OP as hell !
        I almost forgot Rei, here, take this item; Orca-rina of Time. With this, you can turn back time and undo all damage/sickness.

      4. Take my White Flame too, it’ll warm you up and why your at it.
        Take some alcohol/cocktail, put the Flame on, drink it one-shot and you’ll be strong as a tiger, you’ll be fine~

      7. Maybe…Maybe we should test this on a slime or something before we dump it all into Reigokai’s system.
        Who knows what sort of side effects they might have if they’re used together…

    1. usually we’ll see coment like >pls update pls,or something
      but here, its different~
      and i agree with you,
      buuut, as long as reigokai still have fun and healty you sir reigo can do wutever you want!!

  59. Mirack is gonna murder him if she finds out about this, and damn that was a straight ball if I ever saw one. With how much Inflation has prepared in advance I wouldn’t be surprised if she already has a priest and whatever else they have for marriage in that world ready to go at a moment’s notice (I bet she’s planned the entire honeymoon too)…

  61. Laughing and crying as I read the chapters – Thank you so much!
    Would love a waifu like inflation except she joined the other gods to seal Dark God just so she has more time to prepare lol
    Definitely no esacpe from her lol

  66. You know, seeing Karen talk about how she was immediately drawn to Haine, I wonder if there’s actually some sort of “Light’s attraction to Darkness” property going on, and that’s what driving Inflation’s attachment.

  69. I can say for sure that this goddess has surpassed Barney Stinson scheming levels. BTW thx for the cater 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

  72. Wtf… And i thought the water god was the scheming type… Damn Inflation predicted things a thousand steps back

  74. HAHAHA! YES! Go Inflation-sama! I expected no less of you to prepare for this far ahead of time! Truly, a wise goddess!
    Also, holy sh*t, we have a double confession already without it even feeling forced. Big props to the author. Now all we need is an appropriately realistic and sensible follow-up from Haine and I’ll start using this story as an example of good romance development from now on.
    I’m a little worried since he established himself as a dense fucker in a single paragraph’s flashback. He’s noticed though, so I guess there might be hope.

  75. I did not expect that straight forwardness. So I’m guessing she’s fine as long as the mc includes her in the harem as one of the main members, if not then Rip humans. So my guess is he’ll have a total of 5 harem members 4 heros plus Yandere goddess.

    1. I’m not really crazy about him having a relationship with all the heroes, actually. Celeste is lovable, so I’d be fine welcoming her into the harem, but otherwise, I’d rather keep things separate until given a reason to think otherwise.

  76. Libraries are smart people places right?
    So… if something is inflating, then its entropy increases. More randomness due to the higher volume occupied.
    Take the expanding universe as an example of that.
    Ergo, ship.

  77. goddangit !!! i though it will be a stormy shuraba but instead….. it has become a combination of malevolent chaos !!
    poor Haine(Enthropy)….. just prepare yourself for a lot of medicine for healing yourself when the ‘ceasefire’ break loose from them…

  78. Thanks for the chapters, Reogo-senpai.
    So in the scriptures of the light church…
    “Thou shall have a harem if thou marries the church founder” — Inflation 0:69

    1. The devious part here is that the true meaning of the scripture is: “The Church Founder may insert herself into any pre-existing relationship she wishes without a problem.”

      1. Well, hey.
        You can’t blame him cause his enjoying life of a human and his not used to human’s feeling that time.
        But it’s such a shame he didn’t notice them. Poor girls…
        Yeah, just blame him, Riajus should just EXPLODE!!!

  81. If it’s wearing you down so much, then don’t push yourself so much Reigokai! (ºOº)ノ
    I’m sure we could’ve waited for tomorrow, or even the day after.
    Or rather, I wasn’t done digging into the discussions of yesterday… orz

  82. Oh my God, I laughed so~ hard during these chapters. Poor Heine, he never had a chance. He was dancing in Yorishiro’s palm the whole time… 😆🤣😆
    There were so many great lines, but I think my favorite was where Heine said “I haven’t had much experience with girls my age. No, wait, that’s a lie.” (Paraphrased) I almost died, I swear… 😂

      1. It was mentioned that Haine was the first to reincarnate before the inflation and she just followed in a hurry after. so i bet if If Haine reincarnated as a girl, Inflation would have to chose to reincarnate as a man.

        1. That would kind of foil the “husband” part of the scripture though.
          Also, the single-minded pursuit she makes might come across as a little more creepy because of double standards.

      2. Hey! Don’t you dare ignore my complains.
        Do be late, Please!!……eh…
        *sees you almost to the ocean then rode on top of a….Flying Orca?*
        ….What?!…
        It can’t be!! Nuuooo~
        MY piklicave!! I got NTRed!!

          1. Lover? No no~
            Your only mine when your late on comment. Remember that, Always.
            Your Orca’s when your not late. Do remember that too, Always.
            But confessing? I’ll think about it.

      3. Pikli was riding a dolphin to school. Hahaha..
        Pantasma, YOU got NTR?
        Nothing to do with me…
        *flies away to another world*
        So, Pikli. What did your psychiatrist say? (did I spell that right?)
        *looks at him with pitiful eyes*

      4. What the…
        Man, Pikli and I are done with all that long ago. I didn’t know Pikli’s a men back then. Funny, that happened with Nepu also, I thought Nepu was a girl.. ah, embarassing.
        There’s nothing between us anymore. Just friends. Friends between men. Me, Nepu, Pikli. Friends.
        I’m going after Artemis now. That’s only IF she accepts me for being an orca… But I LIKE her.
        *shots being fired*
        Okay… this is Yorishiro influencing me. I think. I’ll keep quiet and fly/swim away…

        1. Hear that? ‘That’ is the sound of countless female orca’s heart breaking.
          Anyway you hear the orca dude. We are just friends. Now confess before my heart got taken by another unknown internet dweller!

          1. Nahk?!
            Artemis?! Not me?! I need my Orca!….*so I can make him a sashimi outta him /slur*
            Let me think, who are these…unknown internet dwellers…they DARE TO PICK A FIGHT(piklicave) FROM ME?!!
            She/He is MINE!….would be better if it’s a she but nvm, if on the net~
            I’m straight btw!

          2. Now… now… calm down man. I will always be yours.
            …your friend that is.
            Now… where’s Nepu? Haven’t seen him for the last few chapters…

    2. Dammit!!
      Just be late!!!
      Nnuuooo~~~
      My piklicave’s Late-Spree!!
      And deym! That schemer is a pro, she understands Haine-san waaayyy wayyyyyyy back. I want to believe that Inflation/Yorishiro-san is gonna be his first wife at least. She is the one can cont-*cough*, would care for him very much…
      Its nice to see Karen-san can accept the polygamy; Haine-san’s harem(planned by Inflation).
      But to get him make his harem, he have to make Inflation/Yorishiro-san his first wife, only then can he get other girls~
      I like how she throw the words back at him too.
      Haha!
      This Series is so hilarious ~!

  87. .

      2. Now that you mention it, I was reading a Visual Novel a while ago about a scheming heroine yandere and a bit of resemlance of Yorishiro. Well it end all according to that yandere in the end.

      2. More like, Inflation have somekind of feeling that if Entropy become a human, he will be popular with girls as he is a natural charmer which also made Inflation fell in love with him in the past.

      3. To me it looks more like she wanted to be able to use her position as a means to lure or force him in, because he would be allowed multiple spouses by marrying her, he wouldn’t have to worry about choosing a wife and could marry anyone he likes. Conversely, even if he tried to make use of this, as long as no other women catch his interest or fall in love with him, she can get him to herself. And worst case, she could probably even abuse her authority as founder to force him to marry her even after he’s married another.
        It’s one of those moves that cover (almost) all the bases.

    2. — [The person that will become the husband of the Founder will be allowed polygamy.] —
      Her groundwork is AMAZING…
