Chapter 277: Yarn, Crimson Lotus, and Asora Weapon

Translator Note:
Wow, there’s another chapter of Tsuki ga Michi. Azumi Kei is on fire!
You know what will be next in line :DDD

A big man that surpasses 2 meters in height.
Being covered by an armor of bursting muscle, he possesses defensive power and endurance that matches his physical appearance. But even when his appearance clearly tells that he is the frontline type, he also specializes in accurate and skillful support.
So unfair.
They are probably using some sort of method to dampen the healing magic greatly, in this current situation where the recovery of the injured is quite slow, the number of enemies has not decreased at all.
Three demi-humans.
Only three.
Even in this overwhelmingly advantageous situation that is fighting in their territory.
They haven’t gotten haughty or anything, they are fighting to their best.
While being irritated by this, the captain of Picnic Rose Garden, Vivi, silently continues moving in hiding.
(Ageha and I will defeat that Arke man. Well, I say that, but that Arke called Hokuto is already different from the Arkes that we know. So this is what happens when those things get intelligence huh. Such a pain.) (Vivi)
It was already self-evident that he was an opponent that you would normally avoid battle with.
An organization that has enough war potential to attack their base, and even with overwhelming numbers advantage, there’s still no knowing if they can win.
And that organization is a company. This is seriously a funny joke.
But for Vivi, there were no signs of the word armistice popping in her head.
Even if her prided mercenary group is having an unexpected tough fight, there’s still cards remaining.
Also, the present leader of Picnic Rose Garden, Vivi Poze, is a deeply emotional person.
It is both a strong point and a weak point though. At any rate, anyone that she considers a comrade of hers, she takes care of them kindly.
Even if they are against an enemy that possesses mighty power that would defeat them in many scenarios, they are the guys that hurt Pione deeply.
And they are the guys that killed all the friends that Pione cried and was ready to lay down her life to save.
In the eyes of Vivi, Pione is family.
It doesn’t go as far as seeing her friends as family, but even so, they are acquaintances that were taking shelter in their base for a period of time.
(I know plenty well that revenge doesn’t bring forth anything good. But I also know plenty well that there are people that can’t move forward without having any sort conclusion to it, not everyone can just forget. If it’s for the sake of seeing Pione smile cheerfully once again, this leader of yours, Vivi-san, will be doing her best.) (Vivi)
Probing on the mysterious item lineup that the dwarf was drawing out, and, on top of that, deciding the coordination between one of her partners Ageha by eye contact, Vivi erases her own figure from sight, and finally caught the back of Hokuto.
The stealth skill training of Rokuya was showing its full colors here.
It is not as precise as the person himself, but the usefulness is incredibly high.
And to prove this, Vivi has been cautiously observing Hokuto, Shii, and Beren, and she is confident that they haven’t noticed her.
In other words, it is the time to attack.
She has also received contact from the Marikosans that they have already finished their first job and were going to reconvene with them in a few minutes.
They planned on going to help those girls since they were in the most problematic side of the battlefield, and yet, it ended up with those girls coming to help them which made Vivi slightly mortified, but it is true that their enemies are strong.
She should just be happy about the reinforcement.
(Here it is!) (Vivi)
From the direction she was notified beforehand, she detects a volley of light spears, and decides that she will be moving right after that attack impacts.
She is currently in the place where that bombardment will be landing, but, maybe she has confidence in avoiding them all, she didn’t show any signs of running away.
“Beren! Hokuto-chi! An attack with light element and a bit of earth element, incoming! The power is above average! Numbers…a lot!” (Shii)
(The Forest Oni, Shii, has already—?!) (Vivi)
“I have already noticed it too. No need to tell us the direction, Shii!” (Hokuto)
“Understood! I mean, roger!” (Shii)
A notification came from Shii, who was fighting in the sky with the thread of Hokuto and her own flying spell.
She perceived the attack almost at the same time it was released, and she let the two below her know.
“Beren, can I leave it to you?” (Hokuto)
“Of course! I have already somewhat understood the strength of this place, you see! It can be mostly blocked by the Aegis Film, but might as well just give them a blast!” (Beren)
In this battlefield where the tension has increased quite a lot, the dwarf Beren responds to the words of the Arke.
The magic attack of the Marikosans is a powerful attack that wouldn’t fall behind the death traps of the dungeon’s lower levels.
It would be another story if they knew of it beforehand and had prepared a countermeasure for it, but it is not an attack that you would be able to deal with right after seeing.
At the very least, not in the common sense of Picnic Rose Garden.
“Here we go! Bring back Shii here just in case! First of all, [Catapult]!” (Beren)
With the words of Beren, apparatusses that were not that big appeared at both of his sides.
Alarms inside the head of Vivi begin to ring when she sees those things she hasn’t seen before within the mysterious items he brought out.
(They look similar to ballistas, but it is slightly different. What is he planning on doing?) (Vivi)
Her uneasiness grows increasingly.
But she can’t change her plan too drastically at this point in time.
“Prepare, Blast Spears!” (Beren)
What was summoned now are spears.
In the middle of the handle of the spear, there’s a strange mechanism. This is also a weapon Vivi has seen for the first time.
4 spears like the ones used in ballistas.
“Hmph…the attack power and scope…Umu, in that case, the angle would be…next, just have to adjust it, and…” (Beren)
Beren, who has equipped some tough-looking goggles, was muttering something, and then, as if abiding to his words, the 4 apparatusses begin to move.
“Shoot!”
(?!)
The 4 spears were pointed towards the mass of light in the sky -no, the wall of light- and were shot.
The spears and the light made contact, and an intense flash covers a whole area.
And in that moment, a weak vibration resembling an earthquake reverberated in the space.
“So it didn’t take all of them out huh! Well, this next one is something that was created by tinkering with a product the hyumans manufactured. [Aegis Film]!” (Beren)
(Tch, not a single one is falling! I can’t confirm by sight, but it was blocked! In that case…!!) (Vivi)
A flash and vibrations, even so, Vivi, who had accurately calculated the countdown for the impact, immediately understands that the support fire had shown no effectiveness.
But it can create a blank space where attack and defense are gone temporarily.
In the time they are relieved they were able to block the danger of several hundreds of spells, Vivi will move.
Surprise attacks, assassinations, finishing moves; all of those are her repertoire.
No matter how cornered they are, she is a person that shows incredibly high ability.
“History of the Asura Empire, [99 thorns]!!” (Ageha)
“?!! This is…!” (Hokuto)
Hokuto reflexively takes a defensive stance against the shadow that went around from his side to his front and activated a skill.
One of his hands was pulled by a string.
It is Ageha. Vivi’s partner and a trueborn mercenary.
Ageha had trained on the empty-handed techniques, and the Asura First that she utilized was the attack that possessed the highest power from within the attacks Hokuto received in this battle, but the combo attack just now was composed by attacks that were comparable to it.
With only his free right hand, he was unable to deal with the combo of attacks that were being driven onto him by this unknown shadow.
But, he is not a hyuman.
Two more arms appear and he begins to block the punches and kicks that were like a storm.
Hokuto felt that the damage accumulation surpassed the prided regeneration ability of the Arkes and shuddered.
Receiving the 99 attacks, and having sustained heavy damage in his body, what occupied his heart was not fear, but simple admiration.
Feelings of admiration that someone that’s not from Asora and has been living in hyuman society could possess such a technique with this much power.
Even if the conditions are disadvantageous for him and his group, this was an opening that was created from him having the confidence of overwhelming the hyumans.
“The preparations are done. Rascal spider, get ready… [White Thrust]!” (Ageha)
The whole body of Ageha was overflowing with the aura of a finishing move.
The loose part of her clothes and her hair were slowly raising.
Seeing her take a half-body stance, Hokuto could tell that the fist that was on the unseen part of her body was gathering power she hadn’t shown before.
“You are still continuing huh! Splendid, karate woman!” (Hokuto)
Hokuto slightly moves the hand that was controlling the thread, and he brings out the other remaining 5 arms he has and begins to create even more threads.
“[Adamantine Yarn]!” (Hokuto)
“Fake Art, black crawling hands, [All Hazard].”
“Wa—when did you—” (Ageha)
The fist of Ageha was thrusted onto the shield of threads that was made in an instant.
At that instant…
Hokuto sensed the presence of someone suddenly appearing from behind, and it had the same amount of power from the one he felt at the front, and when he turned his gaze towards that direction, he was shocked.
There was a woman he hadn’t seen before right there.
The arm that was holding her dagger was covered with a black something that reached to the elbow.
That’s dangerous.
Even Hokuto thought so about that skill.
This unknown woman, Vivi, had already jumped into action by propelling with the full strength of her body in order to take the neck of her prey.
Even if he has an increased number of arms now, he knows that he won’t make it in time to guard.
Now that it has come to this, he had no choice but to endure it.
Hokuto, who had resolved himself to receive the attack from behind, was surprised by two things his eyes caught sight of.
“It broke through the adamantine?!” (Hokuto)
“The White Fist won’t reach!” (Ageha)
The special technique of Hokuto, adding a special properties to the thread that Arkes produce and strengthen it, yarning.
It is a technique that he learned when he decided on faithfully training in his thread techniques first, and the special properties that can be given are truly varied.
Within those varieties, the adamantine property is short in effective time, but it has also shown that it is capable of repelling most attacks.
He didn’t expect that a single punch would be able to break through it.
The finishing move of Ageha that she trusted the most was only able to pierce through a film of the thread and, with only that, it lost all its power and was unable to reach Hokuto.
And the other surprising thing was…
“Heave-ho~~!”
The appearance of an intruder that flew right between Hokuto and Vivi with incredible speed.
She swung down her tough metal rod with all her strength against the black lunge.
It was hard to believe, but the one that was bounced off was the metal rod.
“What unbelievable toughness and speed! Can’t be helped then! Now that it has come to this, I will also be showing my trump card…”
“…From what an unbelievable place you are intruding from! Stay quietly at the backlines like the elf you are!” (Vivi)
The momentum of Vivi’s attack was killed, but even with that, she once again accumulates strength directed not at the person that intruded but at Hokuto once again.
“If possible, I wanted to finish this fight without using it, but as the partner of Hokuto, I can’t step back here!”
The identity of the intruder is the Forest Oni, Shii.
With the same yarning technique, the thread that was connecting Hokuto and Shii was given a strong rubber property, adding that to her own acceleration spell, she managed to interfere instantly.
This was a speed that even Hokuto didn’t expect, and it is also the reason of his surprise.
Shii immediately digested that her own prided attack was repelled, and takes a long and narrow test tube-looking bottle with red liquid from the holder at her waist.
A high-pitched sound was made when she broke the seal of it, and she drank it all.
“It looks like the hyumans desire this as an ingredient for their elixirs, but for us, they are the ingredient for our trump card. Evolution Drug, [Crimson Lotus]!” (Shii)
Red magic power gushes out.
A torrent of raging magic power different from her usual state envelops the body of Shii.
“With this, I will bring you down!” (Vivi)
“No you won’t! I won’t let you!” (Shii)
The red magic power clad metal rod and the black thrust once again cross.
Both magic powers clash and a powerful shockwave assaults the surroundings.
“What crazy power…” (Vivi)
“Ouch ouch…it really hurts~. My hands went numb. But this is my win. Well then…fly away, [Storm Homerun]!!” (Shii)
Shii holds the metal rod with both hands, and swings widely at Vivi who had her posture heavily crumbled.
The leader of the mercenary group was smashed away to the distance. 
Blasting off
And while that happened, Shii had thrown the metal rod and that metal rod chased straight after Vivi.
“Vivi!” (Ageha)
“That Shii, she really did it. Well then, let’s take care of this one too then.” (Hokuto)
“This is—?! A string?!” (Ageha)
“It is called yarn, a technique of mine. I add a variety of properties to the threads. Woman of valour, you were strong.” (Hokuto)
“…Tch. If the White Fist had connected, the story might have been different, but…this one fight, it is our lost huh.” (Ageha)
Hokuto and Ageha exchange fearless smiles.
A few seconds later, the thread that was coiled around the right fist Ageha used for her attack began to shine…and exploded.
Ageha was blown back towards the place where her comrades were, but they were unable to stop the force of it and were blown back together with her.
“Good grief. They really attacked us aggressively there. I want to believe those were their aces in the group.” (Hokuto)
The slight damage that still remained in his body clouded his expression.
“Yeah. Even if the calculations stated that it would be okay even if we shot the Burst Spears, these guys formed a space that weakened us to a point where we were made to shot those Burst Spears in an underground environment. This is not the handywork of some regular folk. If it weren’t in these kind of circumstances, it is to a level that I would want to bring some great alcohol and listen to the principle behind it. Seriously.” (Beren)
Beren was surprised that he was able to utilize the weapon that is normally not something that can be carefreely utilized outside, and even within Asora, it is classified in a relatively high position.
As a dwarf, he possesses more interest and ability in the generalistic area rather than the specialization area, so he was incredibly interested in the structure of this labyrinth.
“Is there no second volley of the magic attack just now? What are they planning on doing?……Wait, ah, so that’s how it is.” (Shii)
“Umu.”
“As expected of Waka-sama. It looks like the barrage went to where Waka-sama is.” (Beren)
The two nod in succession at this.
Because they felt that the thin presence of their lord had now become clear, and at the same time, the spell, that was clad around his body and had been weakening, was once again firmly clad on him.
“Well then, let’s go for one more push.” (Beren)
“Yeah.” (Hokuto)
“I even used an ampoule of the Crimson Lotus, so today I am okay in going at full power. Like, it is okay to wipe them all out, right?” (Shii)
“It probably goes without saying but, don’t kill anyone, okay? Keep it at half-dead.” (Hokuto)
Shii, who had a fiery light in her eyes, was reiterated by Hokuto.
The fight was beginning to heavily incline towards the Kuzunoha Company.

  2. 1. Another common sense-san was killed, again! 😂🤣
    2. Thanks for the chapter Reigokai-san and Author-Sensei

  4. Error Fix
    “History of the Asura Empire, [99 thorns]!!” (Vivi)
    change Vivi to Ageha
    if u look into the context, I think it should be Ageha not Vivi, since Ageha is the one who attack from the front as the decoy and Vivi only show up later at Hokuto’s back unannounced
    Ah, i was just passing by re-reading it, hope it’s okay to post it after so much time has passed

  7. I don’t understand why hokuto is impressed they were given cheat and have lived for hundred years and they are only at this level, they are pathetic and have no maturity despite that.

  12. Mio loses! (Kinda)
    But her opponent is unable to leave the area whiles she’s grinding in the gears. And he used a threat against her attachment to Makoto. Really, really… no matter how totally effective that threat’s trapping power is
    … can’t even speak of how painfully bad that move is soon going to turn out to be for him.
    Especially since he’s immortal. Pretty much mskes her previously planned punishment… into something that he’s really gonna be regretting his inability to die.
    Thanks for the chapter

    1. I still don’t get how Mio breaking the chains would break the invisible chain bond with Makoto. I don’t know maybe I just assumed that the invisible chain bond is so strong that Rokuya’s trap won’t even break it.

      1. If someone caught in the Gears manages to break them with their own strength they receive a Blessing.
        … they are released from all constraints, bindings, CONTRACTS, etc. If Mio breaks the Gears, she will be ‘released’ from her contract as Makoto’s (slave level) follower. Yundere Mio-chan would rather die than have her binding to Makoto broken. Even if she can redo the binding ceremony.
        I did mention she’s yundere crazy love x10. Die b4 she let’s anything touch her link with Makoto

    2. Meanwhile..
      Petite Shii sends Vivi the leader of the Rose Garden Picnic legendary mercenary group as a high fly ball out of the park.
      Didnt even see it coming from the weakest member of Makoto’s followers. Vivi had judged the little forest oni’s strength relative to rest correctly. She just didn’t have a clue how strong anyone Makoto lets travel with him (& his extraordinary luck ) has to be.

  13. just amazing could not wait anylonger and here we have 2 chaps awesome great mate just great my happiness level is rushing up.

  14. Shii somehow reminds me of Shoma.
    Maybe add ball shaped projectiles in her arsenal?
    Thanks for the chapter may the author burn further for us plebs to get more chapters.

  15. That Vivi girl… is she always on her period to be emotionally unstable? She really don’t understand the reality outside of her dungeon house huh. Poor girl.

  19. Shenron, come out and grant my wish!
    Sorry to hear that you’re unwell Amber.
    Sometimes life throw us this curveball and we didn’t see it coming until it’s too late. I wish you good health and happy life.
    Also, you might’ve been left out a bit. I’ve resigned from being the Truck. I sent my resignation letter and all…
    Now I’m no Truck. I’m just an Orca.
    (Change name only. Hehehe..)

    1. Whales can be just as dangerous as a Truck. Proof? Ask a certain petunia that died due to a sperm whale, it can be found in the Holy Writ of Space Travel, aka Hitchhikers Guide To The Universe.

  20. Sorry for the long abscens.
    I got serious problems whit my health and seems I got an incurable disase (at least is not something like a terminal sickness, it’s a problem related to my head and internal ear)
    We’ll, only affect my everyday life and my work in a kitchen… but that no stop me for cooking.
    My tribute this time is a “Dragon Meatball” inspired in the dragon balls. First made whit beef and herbs. Second made whit pork and vegetables, Third made whit chicken, Fourth made whit salmon and mushrooms, Fifth made whit octopus in a “takoyaki” style. Sixth made whit deer and rice, the last one made whit soya meat and carrots. Every meatball are made in different cooking metods (oven, boiling, fried, etc) and are mounted on a onion and garlic spaghetti, whit a cheese sauce.
    If you have room for a dessert, this time I made a simple Tiramisu whit a vanilla smoothie.
    I suggest enjoy the “Dragon meatballs” whit a wine. The aftertaste got a good impression on my workmates, specially whit the waitress.
    P.D. I have a speciall drink for Truck-kun… Oil Lamborghini, please drink after finish your dragon meatballs and thanks for taking care of the annoying fellow that scream in my neighborhood for the nights. Now I can sleep.

    1. Shenron, come out and grant my wish!
      Sorry to hear that you’re unwell Amber.
      Sometimes life throw us this curveball and we didn’t see it coming until it’s too late. I wish you good health and happy life.
      Also, you might’ve been left out a bit. I’ve resigned from being the Truck. I sent my resignation letter and all…
      Now I’m no Truck. I’m just an Orca.
      (Change name only. Hehehe..)

      1. Lol, now we have an orca smashing people instead of a truck.
        Thanks for your good wishes my friend.
        Even this stupid sickness can’t stop me, I’m always cooking and play the piano whit my heart content, even whit headache and feeling dizzy. So wait for my next dish.

  21. I’ll have to revive this section somehow. In any way possible. I don’t want Reigokai to feel down with such lame comments anymore.
    Even if my life is at stake!
    Even if I have to fall to the dark side!
    Even if I have to use Loli or Lewd things!

      5. Flying Orca has access to these great treasures. I underestimated them greatly and even questioned their power in our last conversation. This mere gatekeeper will reflect on their actions.
        … \_(-_-)_/

  22. *cough cough* Hey guys. I’m back! I’m in good shape now. *cough* Never felt better! ….. Well, I still have swollen gum but since the pain subsided somewhat I decide to go to work today. What a great day it is! *cough* Caught under the weather, sudden heavy downpour; I got drenched and shivering soaking wet for over an hour. What a great day! *cough* Then I decided, “Damn, I’ll just go through with it!”. Went through the rain to workplace and I decided again, *cough* “Fuggit, I’m Superman!”. Continues to work for 12+ hours. My knees are shivering right now, but nevermind that, because *cough* I came to a big realization that I AM Superman !
    I came back here for a moment and see that this comment section is in a sorry state. What have you done my friends… This is not how I left it to be. So few comments. Where is all the ‘intellectual’ and ‘hot’ discussion?

  29. Thanks for the chapter. CHEATS!!!! I tell you all of them are CHEATS!!!!!!!! So are those spears that beren used the ones that have Makoto rongs inbedded in them??? Because thats way to dangerous, are those guys trying to destroy the dungeon!!!!!!!

  33. Hello Everyone !
    First : THANKS FOR THE CHAPTER ! MAKOTO IS NEXT AND THE LOGIC ANIHILATOR IS BACK !
    Second : As much as I like Tsuki and hate the fact that I am not reading it this very second, I need to address a thought about the future of this site.
    Reigo-sama … I want you and your site to grow ! You are doing an awsome work and seems just as passionate as us in those stories, if not more. But as now, the rule for the translation cycle is not healthy in my honest opinion. I am not telling you to change it NOW, but it would be good to change over the course of the few next weeks or months. Everyone here, for NOW, knows this site for Tsuki and you, but later, maybe, some people will come for World Reformation or other works you might translate or *wink* *wink* create (Love it btw). It would be a good idea to think over this and see what can be done by you AND by us.
    My best regard to you and everyone, would like some feedback from all of you guys and im going to spam after all chapter so Reigo-sama reads it. Reigo-sama if you read it and want me to stop the spam just reply with a simple OK (I’m not asking to have a reply because you need to think over it and not just explain the why and what not :D, but if it’s already thought out, let me hear it plz !)
    Have a nice day all 😀
    This will get lost in internet … I’m sure of it XD

  34. i really hope Makoto goes and slaps Pione once the fighting is over.
    because of her retardation all her friends could have died. all this fighting is because of her wanting revenge against a person that defended his own life when 3 crazy people came to kill him. its not like they don’t know that, Rokaku met with Makoto and the gang and he told the story of what happened. they know he was defending himself yet this shit happened anyway.

  36. I been meaning to ask how can we help the author? I dont even live in japan and i dont see his works translated in english cause i dont understand the japanese words?

  39. thanks for the chapter!
    (Ageha and I will defeat that Arke man. Well, I say that, but that Arke called Hokuto is already different from the Arkes that we know. So this is what happens when those things get intelligence huh. Such a pain.) (Vivi)
    maybe vivi is one of the party that subjugated the dead arke?

  40. Many thanks for the chapter!

    Translator Note:
    Wow, there’s another chapter of Tsuki ga Michi. Azumi Kei is on fire!
    You know what will be next in line :DDD

    Oh, yes. Please, might this flame burns so much to lit mine, because I need it to face the start of school. I’m really glad author-sama is out of hiatus (I think… I hope I mean).

  41. Thanx Reigo-san.. If only we could convey our thanx to Azumi-sensei as well.
    I never really cared much for being 1st or top 10..lol
    Just really appreciate the story and translations, especially consecutive chapters 😊

  44. Thx for the chapter o/
    i didn’t know how much i missed my regular dose of Tsuki until it was gone… how fragile is, human life T.T
    And give yourself some praise too Reigo-san, your are on fire too~~

  49. Azumi Kei is active again and Reigokai is translating at light speed. Thank god for this. I read that the webnovel will be released every second Wednesday of the month and next chapter is expected to be online on 13 Sept. 2017. Let’s hope for the best.
    Also, I’m busy and very sick now. Like, VERY sick. I won’t be around much anymore, so guys, see you later and please behave yourselves.
    (The only reason that I can still get up from sick bed and post this is due to the temporary buff I got after reading this TsukiMichi chapter. Salute to Azumi and Rei.)
    …. and lastly, AAAAAAARRRRGGHH !!!
    *shout of desperation*

  51. Damn I got late ! I was busy farming on fgo and fell asleep damn it!
    Anyway Author sure is on fire ! I hope he can release all the chaps for this fight cuz I hate cliffs, but I don’t want the quality to decrease ….. hmm well since its the author of this novel I can trust him
    Thanks for the chap ~

  55. thanks for the fast updating reigokai-sensei…
    and thank for constantly make the new chapters comeout Azumi Kei-sensei…
    wish you stay health, have a nice luck, and a nice wealth for both Rigokai-sensei as an translator n Azumi Kei-sensei as an author
    lol, picnik rose garden cannot even win again resident of asora how far the difference in power that it make sense anymore XD
    still love that shii that remain me of someone that always get bully in her party that have core weapon a hammer and have a huge breast and look like rabbit except shii not have blabbermouth… dont mind me if anyone know what i mean XD

  56. This is great, by the time you finish posting this translated chapter, author-san post another new chapter… what a joy!

  63. Makoto is just taking his stroll through the enemy base while under constant magic barrage whilst giving no fucks. Swiggity swooty he be coming for your booty. Although lets be honest these guys never really stood a chance and if they did kill or harm one of Makoto’s subordinates, their base would be a goddamn crater in the ground.

  65. I always love it when an author connects a past fact with the current saga. We have the first version of Asora’s bombshell lance and the elixir that I take shii is a result of when Makoto asked Shiki to analyze the mutants that attacked the academy. Shiki said that the elixir was a failed product seems to have refined it and use it as enhancers.
    Finally, Vivid is the leader that Rokuya mentioned. Pione is a new character who is possibly planning something. It would be an epic for Makoto to torture her as Samal in front of the maze master.

    1. wait..
      Picnic Rose Garden and the Adventurers of Origins are two different groups, right?
      Their relationship is that of students and masters, if I remember correctly.
      Ugh.. I forget already.. please feel free to correct me

  69. …Asura First that she utilized was the attack that possessed…
    I think it is a typo by auto Correct?
    You mean Asura Fist, yes?
    _________________________
    Now we must pray for the best of health, luck, and wealth for both Asura Kei as an author and Rigokai as an translator.
    Without both of them there would be no Tsuki.
    P.S. you know it is a pun, Tsuki as Tsuki ga Michibiku and Tsuki as Love :p

  76. Once again thanks for the chapter and a big applause to author-san
    and also another to translator-san. XD
    I thought I would finally get to see makoto going common sense breaker in this chapter guess wrong lol I guess it would probaby be on the next chapter

  86. the’re holding back… yeah.. holding back…
    is the “Vivi-san” is the Leader who started it all? (forgot about it…their characters is what make they unnoticable after all) if that true… then its laughable because she ended up like Third-rate Villain….

    2. No Pione is the idiot that started this, Vivi is just an acomplse.
      1. Pione couldn’t restrain her charmed friends, so they went off to attack Makoto
      2. Pione blames Makoto for their death, rather than the true culprit, Tomoki.
      3. Pione went and cried to Vivi and the dungeon master to get them to kill Makoto.

      1. Yeah this wad the begining of the war.
        By the way, where are the other Hero? I mean I feel like last 50 chapters there are not appeared at all.
        Maybe Next Arc will do?

  87. Its not just Kuzunoha that’s on fire, the author is also on fire. I heard another new chapter got released just now. Woohooo!!!
    Now then, the 3 Kuzunoha employees fights against the mercenaries rather than any one of the Adventurers of Origins. Yet they still hold up on their own, even winning.
    But now that Makoto is out, we all know that seals their fate. They’re lucky Makoto still maintains his kind side and not allowing any casualty in any circumstances here. Wait till they realise leaving them half-dead is harder than outright killing them. That’s how insane Kuzunoha is right now, beyond all common sense.
    Thanks for the chapter.

  88. “It probably goes without saying but, don’t kill anyone, okay? Keep it at half-dead.”
    Best catch phrase in this chapter…
    Thanks for the chapter…

  91. Aww come on! It should’ve been a Makoto chapter, right? We have chapters focusing on Tomoe, then Mio, so the next one should’ve been Makoto, shouldn’t it?
    Bah. Stupid anti-logic power man.
    You know what would be a horrible, yet fantastic, punchline? If Picnic Rose Garden either lost their will to fight so much that they aren’t effective as trainers in Tsige anymore, or if they grow in power from the experience of this skirmish that them trying to teach adventurers doesn’t produce much of a different result from if Kuzunoha did it themselves.

      1. it make me remember the advertisement about credit card
        “For everything else, there’s Master Card”
        but then we change it into
        “For every problems, it always Trashmoki fault”

        1. Not with that attitude!
          Is Makoto being a nuke maker a meme? Is Makoto’s “fuck you statistics” level extreme luck a meme? Are Mio’s and Inflation’s borderline yandere obsessions a meme?
          The answer to all of these is “Yes, even if it’s a lesser one on the level of an in-joke.”

        1. Even the strongest MCs start at level 1.
          Even Makoto started so weak he was on the verge of death.
          Even Reigokai started his translations with 0 wordpress posts under his belt.
          By all means, aim high. Just be ready to work your way up. Shoot the pawn before you shoot the horse. Shoot the horse before you shoot the general. Shoot the general before you shoot the king. Shoot the king before you shoot his god. Shoot his god before you…uh…eat it, I guess.
          And eat that god before-
          …
          …
          …I was going somewhere with this when I started it, I swear.

  96. Thanks for the chapter.
    Those Blast Spears are the mana filled rings of Makoto turned into nuke projectiles right? And now being shot by Elder Dwarf made magic catapults?
    I think we just witness the first natural medieval fantasy-ish version of rail cannons would be like.

    1. I haven’t even thought of that. I sure hope they were just a lite version of the ring. Like they took the power of 1 ring and divided it into several hundred “warheads”.
      I dread to think what detonating several of the actual rings would do.

          4. Yeah, the capacity of the ring is also a factor, and I think the quality of Makoto’s magic power also come into play here. Just like a bomb, the amount of gunpowder and the quality of the gunpowder both play a role in how destructive the bomb will be.

          5. I don’t think your analogy is right because I don’t remember mention of the quality of mana changing, all I remember is the quantity.
            I think to make the analogy right we should see the gunpowder’s quality as a result the quality of the process, and the efficiency of a magic would depend to the quality of the spell.
            all I remember from makoto is that he trained to grow the capacity of his tank and searched spell to use magic more efficiently
            the rings are supposed to eat and stock the mana flowing out of makoto
            the rings exploding is because of overloading, they break and free the stocked mana.
            it’s an inefficient way to use that power
            that’s why when he used them in stella battle, he managed to include them in the spell, rising the efficiency and managing to make a lake, when using the rings alone wouldn’t have caused that much damage.
            using an analogy, the first one would be a gas canister exploding because too much gas was packed inside, and the second would be a gas canister exploding because it was set on fire.
            So, I see 2 way to rise the destructive power of the rings:
            -rise the quantity of mana they can stock
            -include a spell that will use better the resources
            I think something like that was explained when they talked about the explosive javelin before. need confirmation.

          6. I know what you mean, I personally think that by expanding his mana capacity the quality of his mana will also improve. I think they both go hand in hand… I don’t know if its true though. On the other hand there’s one thing that all of us can agree on… Makoto is a machine of utter destruction IF he wanted to of course.

    1. You’re not like in Utah are you Raymond? One of my prior bosses is named Raymond Lo and it’s a strange coincidence.

  111. oh my god does this mean that there’s also a chapter 278 at the ready? today is definitely a great day. Thanks for the chapter!

  113. Thanks for the chapter, Reigo-senpai!!!
    Azuma Kei’s not the only one on fire, we need to pour a bucket on you!
    Still, it was nice for the leader to get the Team Rocket treatment. I can’t wait for Makoto to start punishing Picnic Rose Garden though…
