Hey guys, Reigokai here, friking back!
Whew, the world really is a mess right now. Trying to deal with the new clunky systems they have placed to deal with all of this can prove to be a whole new nightmare of its own. But hey, I am done (for now) and have gotten a bit of breathing room.
Thank you for all the words of encouragement and the support you guys have shown. You don’t know just how much strength that actually gave me. It is you guys that makes it worth me choosing to translate, thanks.
We will now be back to schedule!
Enjoy!
-Sasaki Aya POV-
“So this is the city that Takatsuki-kun lives in.” (Aya)
I was looking around restlessly in curiosity.
What a beautiful city!
“This is the water city of Makkaren. For now, let’s go to the Adventurer Guild.” (Makoto)
“There’s waterways running around the city, huh. How dreamy.” (Aya)
“Aya, if you move so much, you are going to bump into someone, you know.” (Lucy)
Just as Lucy-san warned, I was about to bump into a passerby, and just as I thought ‘Ah!’, I avoided them.
Once I was about to bump into someone else, I would avoid again, and again.
So fun!
This is my first time in a normal human city since coming to this world!
I moved in between the crowd of people as if sewing through them, and looked around like a kid.
“That’s impressive reflexes.” (Makoto)
“So that’s someone who was raised in Laberintos, huh.” (Lucy)
I heard the voice of Takatsuki-kun and Lucy-san from behind.
Ah? They are bemused at me?
◇◇
“Makoto-kun! I so wanted to see you again~!”
The moment we entered the Adventurer Guild, a blonde pretty lady hugged Takatsuki-kun!
“L-Lucy-san…who is that?” (Aya)
“Mary. The guild receptionist that’s aiming for Makoto”, she says displeased.
“Oh, is that so.” (Aya)
Hmm…
Takatsuki-kun is popular in this world, huh.
“Oh my, who is that girl there?” (Mary)
“I am Sasaki Aya. Nice to meet you.” (Aya)
“I am an employee of the Makkaren Adventurer Guild, Mary. Nice to meet you, too. Are you going to be registering here for the first time?” (Mary)
He separated from Takatsuki-kun and entered her work mode face.
What a mature person.
“Mary-san, Sa-san has already finished registering herself as an adventurer in the Labyrinth City. She is in the same party as Lucy and I. We came here to report that.” (Makoto)
“Is that so? I will register your party then. Can you please show me your adventurer card?” (Mary)
“Yes, here.” (Aya)
I gave the adventurer card that Fujiwara-kun made for me.
“Sasaki Aya-san. An otherworldler like Makoto-kun, huh… No achievements as an adventurer. Stone rank, then. .There’s no particular proble—-eh?” (Mary)
Mary-san’s eyes open wide.
Oh no! Did she discover that I am a monster?
But that wasn’t the case.
The calm Takatsuki-kun unexpectedly skeeted his way to Mary-san and said: “The Stats of Sa-san are incredible, right?”
“…These Stats slightly surpass that of a Gold Rank adventurer. If you were free, there would be more than 20 parties who would want you in their party.” (Mary)
Takatsuki-kun and Mary-san were whispering to each other with their faces really close.
Aren’t they a bit too close?
“By the way! So you actually did bring a girl back from Laberintos. Makoto-kun, you liar!” (Mary)
“No, I didn’t promise anything.” (Makoto)
“Shut up! I’m not letting you sleep tonight! Show up at night in the guild.” (Mary)
Mary-san does a headlock on Takatsuki-kun.
Isn’t his head pushing against her breasts like that…?
“Lucy! You were back?”
When I look back, there’s a girl with brown hair and comfortable clothes moving towards Lucy-san.
“Emily. I came back just now. You are not adventuring today?” (Lucy)
“I am helping out the church today. There’s a lot of people getting injured lately from monster attacks. By the way, if you have time, tell me stories about your time in Laberintos.” (Emily)
“Okay. I will let you listen to my great achievements!” (Lucy)
“You must have caused problems for Makoto all the time, right?” (Emily)
“That’s not true! I will shock you with the story about my new magic, [Meteor Shower]!” (Lucy)
They are getting lively there.
After being introduced to her, it seems she is a priest called Emily-san.
She apparently has adventured together with Takatsuki-kun and Lucy-san.
Lucy-san went together with Emily-san somewhere.
“Then, Sa-san, I will guide you through the city.” (Makoto)
The party registration seems to have finished.
“O-Okay.” (Aya)
Alone with Takatsuki-kun!
Maybe Lucy-san showed me consideration.
It is a date!
I followed after him in high spirits.
◇◇
“This is the main street. It is the liveliest place in Makkaren.” (Makoto)
“The food in that establishment is good. Let’s go there later.” (Makoto)
“One street deeper, there’s the food district. It is not as packed right now, but at night, there will be a lot of people in the bars.” (Makoto)
“Let’s go to the store of Fuji-yan later too.” (Makoto)
“That way there is…well, there’s stuff like the night stores.” (Makoto)
Takatsuki-kun guides me through the city with familiar steps.
There’s a lot of fancy stores made of bricks.
There’s an atmosphere to it.
Makkaren has several areas with waterways, and boats were passing by in them.
“We can’t get on those boats?” (Aya)
“If you pay the fare, yeah, but moving with my water magic would be faster.” (Makoto)
Now that Takatsuki-kun mentions it, he does have a spell that lets him move on water.
“Then, what about that big building?” (Aya)
I point at a stone-made building.
“Aah, that’s where the hot springs are. There’s apparently a source for that close to Makkaren.” (Makoto)
“Ooh! The city is beautiful, and there’s even hot springs. It is a nice place!” (Aya)
“The hot spring inns are apparently the major business in this city. I haven’t gone though.” (Makoto)
‘Didn’t have the luxury to’, is what Takatsuki-kun says with a wry smile.
He is aloof as always.
He looks like he always does, but…
(He doesn’t seem to be too energetic.) (Aya)
That face is…yeah.
It is like that time in middle school when Takatsuki-kun was looking forward to a famous RPG’s sequel that he had reserved a few months before, and ended up becoming a board-like game because of lack of budget…and got depressed.
Well, it seems like it was decently fun after he tried it out though.
What happened, I wonder.
Takatsuki-kun has been a friend of mine since middle school and has become a benefactor of mine.
If he is worrying about something, I want to encourage him.
“Hey, since we are already here, how about we go to the hot springs?” (Aya)
I brave on and try inviting him.
“If you want to go, I am fine too.” (Makoto)
“It says there’s also mixed baths!” (Aya)
It is embarrassing but I try to endure.
“…………….Eh?” (Makoto)
Takatsuki-kun who made the face of a shocked chihuahua was a sight to see.
◇◇
-Takatsuki Makoto POV-
This is strange.
What’s with this situation?
“Aah, what a nice bath.”
Sa-san with a loose and relaxed expression was by my side.
A classmate was bucknaked.
No, that’s not true.
She has a bath towel wrapped around her body.
But!
She is naked below that!
…Calm down.
[Clear Mind], lend me your strength!
‘There’s also mixed baths’, is what was written, but that was apparently something called a family bath.
We could reserve a small open air bath.
Of course, it is a bit pricey, but with defeating the Minotaur and the Harpy Queen, our pockets have gotten a bit of leeway.
I wanted to listen to the request of Sa-san.
“Aah~, it really brings me back to life.” (Aya)
“Aah…yeah…” (Makoto)
Sa-san went ‘Uungh~’ as she stretched, and her bath towel was on the verge of falling off…
So I tried not to look and faced upwards instead.
“A city with hot springs is nice.” (Aya)
“Were you a hot spring lover, Sa-san?” (Makoto)
“There weren’t baths in Laberintos, so we always went to the underground lake to bath in cold water. There was no knowing when a monster would attack us, so we couldn’t let our guards down.” (Aya)
That does sound unrelaxing.
We continued chatting for a while.
“By the way, Sa-san, you are using your Change Skill to take that form, right?” (Makoto)
“Yeah. My skin color was bluish before, but now it is human-like, right?” (Aya)
Saying this, she shows me her upper arm.
No, you don’t need to show me in that way, you know.
I cough.
“Next time, teach me that transformation skill of yours. I will teach you Evade and Escape.” (Makoto)
“Okay. But, are you going to use a skill like Change?” (Aya)
What are you saying?!
Changing your appearance is the basics of assassin games and ninja games!
“Your gaming brain is going wild again, Takatsuki-kun.” (Aya)
“How rude.” (Makoto)
Won’t deny it though.
“What’s your level, Takatsuki-kun?” (Aya)
“21. I lose to Sa-san by more than 10 levels.” (Makoto)
“Weren’t you the type to increase your level as much as possible?” (Aya)
I am surprised Sa-san remembers even my playstyle.
“In the beginning I did. But my initial stats were way too low, so there’s no increasing them. Even if I raise my level, my stats don’t rise too much.” (Makoto)
“You are sad because of that?” (Aya)
“Eh? No, I don’t mind it anymore. Right now it is fun to increase my Water Proficiency. I will top up my Spirit Magic, too.” (Makoto)
“‘Top up’, that was your favorite phase in the past, wasn’t it, Takatsuki-kun?” (Aya)
She says this as if nostalgic.
Was it?
“Sa-san, increase your level. Your base stats are high unlike me, so it has a lot of growth. Moreover, your Action Game Player gives them 3 times the effect.” (Makoto)
“I am not good at increasing levels though.” (Aya)
Right.
That’s why Sa-san liked action games.
“Hey, Takatsuki-kun.” (Aya)
“What’s the matter, Sa-san?” (Makoto)
“If you have any worries, tell me.” (Aya)
“…Eh?” (Makoto)
“I can see that you are worrying about something.” (Aya)
“…Really?” (Makoto)
So I really can’t fool the eyes of a friend, huh.
I have to tell Sa-san the details about being the believer of an Evil God.
“Thanks.” (Makoto)
“Don’t mind it.” (Aya)
As I thought, it is easy to speak to an old friend.
◇◇
“Alright! Let’s celebrate the return of Makoto and Lucy to Makkaren!” (Lucas)
Lucas-san gathered the adventurers and opened a drinking party.
“Makoto! Tell us about Laberintos!” (Jean)
The drunk Jean came to me.
“Jean was saying everyday ‘is Makoto okay?’, you know?” (Emily)
Emily says this with a grin.
“O-Oi, Emily, what are you saying?!” (Jean)
“We didn’t really have that big of an adventure.” (Makoto)
“Makoto…that would fall into the category of a lie…” (Lucy)
It was a pain to talk while drunk, but Lucy retorts.
Aah, this feeling, it really tells me that I am back in Makkaren.
I looked to check if Sa-san was having fun, and she was gulping down liquor with glee.
Sa-san is strong to alcohol.
“What did you do today with Aya?”, Lucy asks.
“Let’s see, I had Takatsuki-kun guide me through the city. We went to the store of Fujiwara-kun. Had lunch. And we also went to the hot spring”, Sa-san answers.
“““““Eh?”””””
“A-Aya…U-Uhm, you entered the hot springs separately, right?” (Lucy)
“No, we went together to something called a ‘family bath’. Isn’t that right, Takatsuki-kun?” (Aya)
“Yeah.” (Makoto)
A family bath is normal in this world, right?
There’s a whole lot in the city after all.
“M-Makoto…” (Jean)
Why is Jean looking at me with those eyes of respect?
“…Right in daytime… The worst.” (Emily)
Why is Emily looking at me as if I am trash?
“…”
Lucy is frozen in place.
Why?
“N-No way… Even though I planned to be the first woman of Makoto-kun.” (Mary)
“Mary-san, what are you talking about?” (Makoto)
“Well, fine. I will be the second, so let’s go together next time.” (Mary)
Mary-san wraps her arms around mine.
What is this?
Are they misunderstanding something here?
“Ooi, Makoto has become a man! We are celebrating!” (Lucas)
Lucas-san?!
“Damn it!” “Explode!” “You two-timing bastard!” “A harem party is nice.”
Even though it has been a while since I came back to home, the adventurers were jeering at me.
Why?!
—Family baths.
The young men and women who enter there apparently do so with ‘that’ objective in mind without exception.
It is the ‘amusement quarters’ of men and women.
As if I would know such foreign world knowledge!
The Water Temple didn’t teach me that!
Previous Chapter l Next Chapter
It’s called a family bath because you go to make a family lmao
The funny thing is that from modern European point of view (at least from German-speaking countries, like Germany, Austria, or Switzerland) the are no reason to think that visiting public bath together means more intimate relationship than eating together. And I should add that in contrast to described situation in Makkaren, in the European textilfrei thermal pools people are naked, not in towels.
Well what you expect
To Temple tell you okay the family bath is basically love hotel , you otherworldly and so young at that , go enjoy new experience if have chance have fun~
Lol🤣🤣🤣
This dense motherfucker won’t become an adult if he uses Clear Mind around women. Not only will he stay hard on the V-card, he won’t develop mentally. Think about it. He is taking the easy way out, and therefore he can’t develop any tolerans, or grow in those regards. It’s best if Aya just rapes him, and get it over with
That's basically what happens near the end of the series.
At this point he is denser than a black hole
No is around Neutron Star class, Black Hole is the ultimate form, I bet we will see that soon. Perhaps there will be one of them undressing in front of him, and he gets worried they have a fever?
That’s not hygienic Makoto…other people have to use that public bath you know! LOL
Haha Lol……
Hope they not accidentally drink the water or dunk their head in the water haha
Amen to that! ; )
He is dense af…
Its painful how dense he is im reading just to see how dense he can be. I am just waiting for a girl to kiss him or something and him going sorry i didnt dodge your kiss lmao
Those girls are going to have to be a fair bit more direct. Sa-San was smart to get the drop on those other 2. She acted as soon as she realized there was serious competition.
Explode mc!
I love how he says..”The Water Temple did’nt teach me that!!!”
RAIJUU EXPLODE!!!
even if he didn’t know what family baths were for he should’ve still been able to realize their misunderstanding considering he shared a bath with a girl even if it was wholesome
I found a TYPO!
[She] separated from Takatsuki-kun and entered her work mode face.
lol, hope Makoto soon (at least relatively) lost his virginity and accept the harem. I want him to level up more because even if the stats growth is low, the cange in the skills could be worth, considering the Action Player. I wonder how effective would be Change with Makoto.
Normies should explode reeeeeeee
Wat ye fukke? That’s…, seriously misleading for otherworlder, bahahahahahah. It also explains why they can use the place even though they’re technically not family too (though I insist on mentioning that husband and wife is also family).
Thanks for the chapter !
F, Lucy.
“Takatsuki-kun who made the face of a shocked chihuahua was a sight to see.” I’m just imagining the shocked pikachu face meme instead, and it’s great. x3
Thank you has been translate this chapter and this novel to be favorite second of translate your.
Thanks for the chapter…
I’m late to the party but, welcome back! ^^
A little typo for the poor Mary.
“He separated from Takatsuki-kun and entered her work mode face.”
She is a girl after all. ^^
Makoto has fallen into a trap again! x)
Now it’s time for me to enjoy the piiled up chapters! ^^
Welcome back! And Thanks for the chapter!
It’s nice to hear that you’re still safe. Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! Glad to see more.
Just a small correction for ya, “chiwawa” is spelled “chihuahua.” Easy mistake to make, its not exactly a very intuitively spelled word.
Player of RPG games evolved to Player of hentai games
may you pick up
Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku ~ Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito ~ ?
OMG!
Welcome back!!!
I really wasn’t expecting to read a chapter so soon, I’m so happy…
Also because that means you and your family are doing fine (as fine as you can be right now)!
Even if Makoto knows the common use of Family Bath, “this an that” will not happen because he will simply activate his “Calm Mind”. Also, if ever there’s an initiation that they will do it, i think the Goddess will forbid it…
Welcome back!
I have been keeping updates with the Raw so no spoilers here, the Author has announced a manga serialization of this series so heads up.
Okaerinasai Reigokai-san.
Glad to see you back, safe and sound! I hope everything is going okay 🙂
Thanks for the chapter! <3
That was a cute fun one 🙂
Thanks for the chapter!!
Hope everything is going well.
Huzzah! Welcome back, Reigokai. Take it easy as needed. It’s a pretty stressful time, so the least we can do is relax however possible.
And appropriately, welcome back Takki, Sa-san, and Lucy!
…Sorry Lucy, Sasaki gets top billing even though you partied with him first, for various reasons. Work hard.
That was a nice date with a lewd cherry on top.
A cherry isn’t supposed to be at the end though.
Thanks as always for the wonderfull work. Welcome back Regokai, hope everything is better at your end of the world. HAHAHAHAH Ignorance is a bliss, who knew the hot waters they were literally entering LOL
Welcome back. We missed you out god of light in this dark dark world.
Hey Rei-san, welcome back and thanks for all the hard work and trust me i lnow things are not easy especially when having to look after the elderly. Stay safe and stay well
wow it’s live again!! welcome back
tnx for the chap~
Thank you very much Reigokai! Welcome back.
Oh Makoto you just walk into misunderstandings don’t you! But what a fantastically funny opening chapter!
Thank you for the chapter
oh wow another beta male protagonist with a shallow harem. Imagine my shock.
Just you wait for what Noah does to him the moment Makoto goes to bed…
Thanks for the chapter and I hope you’re doing well.
Welcome back reigokai,
Thanks for the update, a nice mood changing chapter
Welcome back and thanks for the chapter🎉🎉🎉
This Makoto moves fast unlike the other Makoto😂
Welcome back and Thanks for the chapter.
im beggining to think that clear mind skill is c*ck blocker
All unique skills he does have can work as these though.
Come to think of it, does looking away from her even help when he has a video game camera angle?
Glad to see youre okay reigokai, and thanks for the chapter.
Welcome back, and Thank you for the chapter!
Thank Reigokai, glad to have u back!
Thnx for the chapter!
Lol
Thank u always for ur great work…
^^…
Yup, I miss this one…
XD…
Thanks~~~
Nothing last forever..
Explode makoto
Welcome back! If the misunderstanding isn’t clear up Mary is gonna get alot more aggressive lol
Welcome back Reigokai.
I’m surprised that Sa-san didn’t start questioning Makoto about why he knows where the night stores are located.
Welp now Mary and Lucy will demand to also go to a family bath with Makoto.
She’s surprisingly open minded. She wasn’t exactly bothered about Mary like Lucy is either.
Probably her upbringing in this world. Like her older sisters were talking about tempting men… although only to kill them
Look back at her POV. She was not happy but has accepted that Makoto is popular in this world. Lucy was already an obviously attached party member when they reunited.
Well… obvious to everyone but the working hard at denseness Makoto.
Lol.
Thanks Nepu!

Have you taken your AsaCoco yet?
Lucas is always there to celebrate for Makoto, what a nice guy. Emily should chill a bit though.
To think it was just a 17 day blank….. Is it just me or when a novel doesn’t get regular updates it feels like months pass by in the span of days? Well in any event glad to see you’re back and hope you stay safe. Thanks for the chapters as always!
Welcome back and thanks for the chapter stay safe Reigokai
Hahaha OMG that ending….
Glad to have you back and thanks for the chapter!
With this misunderstanding, is there any defense left stopping Mary or Lucy from just up and raping him, at some point?
Not right now.
There will be few in future though.
Lol, that’s not foreign world knowledge. It’s universal knowledge.
Thanks for the chapter and Welcome back Reigokai! With you gone I lost out on one of the already few novels I enjoyed so I’m excited that you’re back~ Glad to see the misunderstandings are still going strong with Makoto~ Also its nice that it was a relaxing chapter to start with after the hiatus, don’t need to go back and re-read previous chapters that way~
Hope you were safe during your break, Reigokai!
Welcome back, Reigokai.
Glad to see you back
