“Monsters!” “Hide in your houses!”
The city was noisy.
(Third rule of the Makkaren’s Adventurer Guild: in the case the monsters around the city rampage, cooperate with the guards and templars, and protect the city…) (Makoto)
Rozes lacks soldiers.
Makkaren suffers from this problem the most, being close to the continent’s prominent giant dungeon, the Demonic Forest.
Because of that, in emergencies, there’s a lot of times when the members of the Adventurer Guild have to lend their strength -that’s what Mary-san taught me when I was a newbie.
(Even so, she also said that a horde of monsters only comes once every several years…) (Makoto)
Is this the result of the monsters getting more active?
I run to the gate where the monsters apparently are showing up at.
I could see several adventurers around.
“Makoto!”
“Jean!” (Makoto)
I met a party I know.
A party of 4 with Emily, the brawler guy, and the mage girl.
“Where’s Lucy, Makoto-kun?” (Emily)
“Today we are moving separately. She told me she would be meeting you though.” (Makoto)
“Yeah, we were together in the morning, but she left in the afternoon.” (Emily)
Hearing this from Emily, I got a bit anxious.
She didn’t go alone to the Great Forest, did she…?
The horde of monsters are coming from the Great Forest.
Sa-san is together with Nina-san, right?
Nina-san should know the rules of adventurers.
I hope we can group up somewhere.
While I was thinking that, I arrived at the west gate.
There were already several adventurers, Makkaren soldiers, and templars.
“Oh! The Hero is here!”
“Oi, Makoto, they said there’s around 500 monsters.”
“A pack of Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres.”
“Makoto, give us instructions quickly.”
“Counting on you.”
(Eh?) (Makoto)
The gathered adventurers were looking over here.
No, not only the adventurers.
The soldiers and the templars too.
“W-Wait!” (Makoto)
Why am I the one taking command?!
“Makoto, in cases of emergencies, it is settled that the one with the highest standing takes command. There’s no one here who has a higher post than you as a Hero, Makoto.” (Jean)
Jean explained to me while I was confused.
R-Right!
It is rule 8 of the Makkaren Adventurer Guild!
In the past, I thought it wouldn’t ever apply to me anyways, so I erased it from my mind.
Eh, seriously?
I have to take command?
A ton of stares were concentrating on me.
I seriously am no good at this though!
“W-What about Lucas-san?!” (Makoto)
If it is that veteran, he should be able to command well!
“Lucas-san said a dragon showed up at a neighboring town, so he went to assist.” (Emily)
Emily says as if apologetic.
N-No way…
“Makoto-senpai! Show us your Hero-like visage real good! I will listen to everything you say!”
The brawler comrade of Jean seems to be the hot-blooded type. He told me this with true passion.
(I have no experience with this though…) (Makoto)
Commanding a large number of people is the thing I am the worst at doing…
The gazes of everyone strengthen even more.
I could feel their pressure as if they were saying ‘do it already’.
I-I don’t wanna be here anymore…
“Okay okay, everyone. Takatsuki-sama isn’t used to this kind of stuff, so I will take command in his place.”
Someone gathered the attention of everyone with a loud voice.
“Nina-san?” (Makoto)
The female martial artist with rabbit ears raised her hand.
“It is Nina-san.” “She became a Gold Rank recently.” “She is currently the wife of the Fujiwara Company’s president, right?” “Didn’t she retire?”
I could hear the small commotion it was making.
“Takatsuki-kun!” “Sa-san!”
Sa-san!
What a relief. I found a party member!
“Takatsuki-kun, it is okay to leave it to Nina-san, right?!” (Aya)
“Y-Yeah…please do so, Nina-san.” (Makoto)
“Alright, I will!” (Nina)
Nina-san was quickly deciding the roles of everyone.
She manages a company with a whole lot of subordinates on the regular, so she is good at leading.
“Sa-san, you saved me there…” (Makoto)
“Nina-san told me about the rules of the Adventurer Guild. You are bad at that kind of stuff, right?” (Aya)
Aah, I am glad I have Sa-san.
She understands me…
“The monsters have come!”
From the direction one of the adventurers points a finger to, the horde of monsters raising clouds of dust showed up.
Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres.
I could see man-eating giants here and there.
They don’t have as much overpowering presence as the more than 5,000 monsters in the Sun Country.
But compared to the fighting force of Highland, the one here is fatally low.
In other words, it is quite a threat for Makkaren.
“Mages, fire!” (Nina)
The mages begin their volley at the order of Nina-san.
The first move is a long range attack.
It is the same tactic as the Sun Knights, huh.
At that moment…
“[Meteor Rain]!”
A familiar voice echoes and giant rocks crash onto the army of monsters.
A large cloud of dust raises and the ground trembles.
The monsters raise loud screams as they are sent flying.
No matter how many times I see it, the firepower is just unbelievable…
“Makoto, Aya, are you okay?!” “Lucy-san!”
Lucy came rushing to us out of breath.
She looks at the horde of monsters as she breathes a sigh of relief.
“There’s still a lot remaining.” (Makoto)
Around a hundred were defeated with the long range attack of the mages.
But the majority of the monsters are still alive.
“Shield unit, take formation!” (Nina)
The ones readying their shields are the templars and the soldiers.
There’s around 50 people in the shield unit, 20 people for the mage unit, and around 30 close combat warriors.
If we put our all numbers together, we are around a 100.
Makkaren doesn’t have a lot of fighting force…
Do they not have the funds for it?
We still have more than 300 monsters to face.
In terms of numbers, they are three times more than us.
What’s scary in a group battle is being pushed by the numbers and losing momentum.
The expressions of the soldiers of Makkaren were stiff.
They must be having doubts whether they can actually stop the enemies from advancing.
Alright, let’s do the same as that time in the Sun Country and make a wall to buy time.
Also, there’s something about Spirit Magic that’s better than before.
(Spirit-sans, Spirit-sans.) (Makoto)
(What~?) (Did you call~?) (Let’s play~.)
I get along with the Spirits of Makkaren.
We have been together for the longest after all.
I still can’t call the Great Spirit, but if it is just using Spirit Magic, Makkaren is the best place.
(Spirit-sans, I am troubled. Please help me.) (Makoto)
I use the Charm Magic I learned from Furiae-san and I ask of them with everything I have.
(((((Okay~!)))))
The comfortable chorus-like response of the Spirits rang.
The mana of the Spirits surrounds me very fast.
“Woah, Makoto…!” (Lucy)
“Takatsuki-kun’s surroundings are zappy…” (Sa-san)
I heard the mutter of Lucy and Sa-san.
I could feel the shocked gazes of the Makkaren mages.
The Spirit Magic of today…is feeling good.
I raise my right hand and shout.
“Water Magic: [Ice World]!” (Makoto)
In an instant, the bluish gigantic mana became light, and swept onto the monsters.
Not creating an Ice Wall, but freezing the monsters itself to create a wall!
It reduces the number of monsters as well, so two birds with one stone!
…Is what I thought, but…e-eh?
“““““……“””””””
The row of monsters that were rushing towards us had become ice sculptures.
That was my intent but…
The eyes of everyone gather at me.
Yeah, I know what you want to say.
“Takatsuki-sama, you froze them all…” (Nina)
Nina-san said with a troubled expression.
Yeah, I ended up freezing all 300 monsters.
The close combat warriors and brawlers that were all hyped up saying ‘this will be our time to shine!’, were making complicated expressions.
S-Sorry.
I ended up taking that spotlight.
“Well, isn’t it fine? Thanks to the magic of Makoto, everyone is okay.” (Lucy)
“Yeah yeah, we didn’t get a turn, but what’s best is that we weren’t hurt… So cold!” (Aya)
Lucy and Sa-san cover for me.
Looks like the Spirit Magic was too strong and Sa-san was freezing.
“Haah, Lucy-san, you are so warm~.” (Aya)
Sa-san is hugging Lucy.
“My body was hot after using magic, so your skin is cold and refreshes me too, Aya.” (Lucy)
Lucy is touching the body of Sa-san.
It looks kinda yuri.
“What, it is over already?”
“Will we get a reward from the guild like this?”
“Who knows.”
The tension of the adventurers around melted and they began chatting.
“Makoto, that was an incredible spell!” (Jean)
“Makoto-senpai, that’s crazy-ssu!”
Jean and a newbie adventurer praised me.
“But why did these guys suddenly show up here?”
“There were a lot this time around.”
“It looked as if they were being chased by something.”
“Aah, you are right.”
Chased?
The moment I heard a conversation that bothered me…
“GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!”
A cry that made the air tremble resonated from above.
When I looked up, a monster with a dark green body and gigantic wings looked down on us.
“A Green Dragon!”
The dragon suspends its giant body in the air flapping his wings.
The monster that’s said to be the ruler of the Great Forest has shown up!
“Everyone, spread out! If you are gathered in a bunch, you will be targeted!” (Nina)
The adventurers all dispersed at the order of Nina-san.
There were also people who were chanting spells as they moved, but…
“They are not reaching.” (Aya)
Just as Sa-san said, the place the dragon is flying at is too high for magic to reach.
“What about Meteor, Lucy?” (Makoto)
“I think it can reach, but if I miss, it will end up falling at us instead…” (Lucy)
“No good then.” (Makoto)
The risk is too high.
“Guoooooooooooooooohhh!!”
Something was shot from the wings of the Green Dragon as it roared.
“It is attacking!” “Avoid it!”
I look up prompted by that voice, and several hundreds of what looked like wooden spears were raining at us?!
“Takatsuki-kun, Lucy-san, watch out!” (Aya)
Sa-san kicked away a number of spears that might have hit us.
That’s dangerous.
When I looked around, there were many injured.
There’s…no one dead…yet.
This is bad. Our attacks don’t reach, but the enemy can still attack us.
“That guy…he has the sun at his back.” (Lucy)
Lucy says mortified.
True, the dragon is flying in a position that’s like it is overlapping with the sun.
Is it doing it on purpose…?
It is intelligent as well.
It seems like, because of that, many mages aside from Lucy were having a hard time adjusting their aim.
The warriors didn’t have a turn again.
Nina-san also has a troubled expression.
What’s…our next move?
I look around to see if there’s someone with knowledge around.
There should be a number of veterans in Makkaren aside from Lucas-san, but today of all days, they were somewhere else.
So unlucky.
(Should I try using a throwaway Water Dragon and see if it works?) (Makoto)
Water Magic isn’t too effective on a Green Dragon that is wood element.
I learned this at the Water Temple a long time ago.
But there’s no other magic I can use.
The moment I tried calling the Spirits to use Spirit Magic…
A light covered the whole area and dazzled my eyes.
When I try to squint my eyes and see, I could tell there was a cross-shaped light.
“Gyoooooh!!”
The Green Dragon raised a dying cry and its figure disintegrated inside the light.
(That light was…) (Makoto)
I have seen it before.
It is the same one I saw at the time when we subjugated the Taboo Dragons outside Laberintos.
In other words, the Light Hero.
Someone landed gracefully on the ground.
White travelling clothes that seemed to be made with extravagant embroidery.
His light brown hair was shining orange with the light of the sun.
“Hey there, Takatsuki-kun. Was it okay for me to defeat it?”
The handsome man that spoke with a refreshing voice seemed to be troubled.
The female adventurers raised screams.
We met just a few days ago at the Sun Country, so it doesn’t feel like it has been a while.
My classmate, Sakurai-kun.
…What are you doing here?
Previous Chapter l Next Chapter
Makoto takes charge in personal battles with his party but somehow cannot use his brain when you increase the numbers?
I mean, he has displayed the tactical ‘gamer brain’ for a difficult battle and has led his party and also commanded Sakurai (the light hero) before this, but now he suddenly gets stagefright and relies on Nina?
That’s a bit convenient author..?
It makes sense tbh. He played rpg’s where you control a party of 3 or 4, with 7 or 8 different characters to choose from. He didn’t play any rts games that take command of armies. It takes completely different tactical thinking.
You got a point there!
It makes sense when the author did not develop the MC past the stage of low self-esteem and shyness. He can’t even speak properly without stuttering like a fool, so how would he command a hundred people lol 😂
those new civilians how sus
Thank you for the chapter Reigokai.
Love Ice world, hahaha
Hmm, I would actually prefer that Sakurai doesn’t show up from some time to see if Furiae would really fall for Makoto or no.
hmm tsk irritating
Guess Lucy forgot about her Phoenix magic to fight the dragon, huh.
And Sakurai must be bored of having to fuck always the same 20 girls…
Well, the two are getting along very well already. And thinking about benefits is a legit way to think about marriage.
And suddenly Sakurai drops by. The town is growing hectic.
Thanks for the chapter!!!,
(Aah, I am glad I have Sa-san.She understands me…)
JUST MARRY THEM U PUSSY
(It looks kinda yuri.)
that’s what gonna happen if you not accept them quickly!!!(not like I mind it( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
Fuck. He’s back…
Was hoping he wouldn’t come back. It could have at least been longer. Ugh.
Thanks for the chapter! ^^
Heroes taking all the spotlight to each other! x)
“I killed 300 monsters in one shot bro!” (Makoto)
“I one shot a dragon bro!” (Sakurai)
(Where is our turn…) (pleb and adventurers)
(I killed 100 in one shot though…) (Lucy) XD
More seriously, I think Makoto will be more like “You saved me there” with Sakurai. ^^
Lmao. He really wants to see Furiae.
Thanks for chap
Me also on mc x furi camp
Its like the author is making it more and more clear that he doesn’t plan of coupling mc with moon oracle, kinda dislikable especially since they already added her into the party
I personally like it a whole lot. Not every party member needs to be in a romance, otherwise it’s more a harem than an adventurer party.
She has way more emotional connection to Sakurai anyway. No real tangible ones with Takki other than their social positions.
“Yeah, we were together in the morning, but she left in the afternoon.” (Makoto) -> “Yeah, we were together in the morning, but she left in the afternoon.” (Emily)
My strong will… I fought with it, but couldnt anymore and saw all chapters with google translate. My brain died more than once🤣🤣 Without spoiling. Makoto is OP later 😀
He’s pretty OP right now.
That sun god blessing must be quite the thing if a man with 20 wives still has the energy for this. Or maybe that is why he’s here. It might have been safer to keep Furi where his wives could run interference.
Spirits are pretty easy to charm, huh. I wonder if they’ll follow him around like small animals now?
Thanks for the chapter, Sakurai minus 5 points for missing the heroe landing, when doing an entrance the heroe landing is a must!!!!!!! No seriously we all know that he came looking for that sweet loving p***y of the Moon Oracle.
Thanks for the chappu~
Sakurai came to protect his harem. Haha. I wonder about how Sakurai responded when he know that Makoto brought Furiae to the goblin nest.
“Yeah, we were together in the morning, but she left in the afternoon.” (Makoto)
This should be Emily talking, responding to Makoto’s dialogue
As always great work with the translation and thank you for your hard word Regiokai! It’s really appreciated!
The problem i’m noticing about Makoto is that… he uses the spells without second thoughts, he needs to asset the situation and then act according
Sakurai, you cheater! you escaped from Noel’s watch again just to visit Furiae. Just give up as your love won’t bloom as long as Noel is part of your harem + she’s gonna be your main and first wife in the future.
Eeey, Sakurai! Nice save. I think Furiae might still be at the mansion, so let’s go find her as soon as possible.
Heh. I guess Takatsuki Makoto is quite the Hero proper now. As long as conditions are right (many spirits nearby), he can freely launch large-scale tactical-grade attacks that wipe out armies.
We’re definitely going to need to do something about his weakness at leading though.
Thanks for the chapter.
Let’s stop the enemy… Did I just kill them all ? Makoto-WM playing Makoto-Tsuki…
Sure you could say Sakurai came here to see Furi but I think it’s more likely that he came here to see Makoto and hang out with him while escaping from his unwanted harem.
Jokes aside Sakurai probably came here because of the rumors about the demon lord in the forest dungeon and will investigate it. Well he probably also came to get Makoto’s help since he trusts him so much and he probably expects Makoto to be experienced in dungeon crawling.
Totally!
It seems everybody forgot there is a sleeping demon Lord in the forest… romance, whith Furiae and Makoto both, is nice, but there are still the quests out there!
And thanks for the chapter!
Behold, ikemen power.
Sakurai came to prevent Furiae from being ntr’ed by Makoto…
Good job protect your harem!!
Thanks~
Thanks for the chapter
> Its a sight to see that Sa-san and Lucy are being in good relationship with each other. Imagining Makoto are in love with them mutually, its a behold to see what kind of warm household will be put in the future.
> I want to see and fast forwarded the chapters already the sight of Princess Sofia huddled together with the house of Makoto and the two
> Well, Fujiwara and Sakurai for sure are the god father of Makoto’s son and daughters in the future. Imagine your friends as accumulated in journey are all highly respected and successful people (specifically drinking buddies) in the society, your kins will be so proud of you…
> Sakurai being in Makkaren means he was already squeezed out dangerously in Highlands and escaped temporarily in Makkaren to complain about how his life juice was being taken advantage of by the series of super high class beautiful females in the Highland. (Please exchange position with me Sakurai, and I will punish those girls…)
That’s a good point. Did Princess Sophia…go home? Wasn’t she here to pay Takki a visit? I expected more scenes.
For the godfather thing, I think the bigger point is that Takatsuki will be the godfather to both Fuji-yan and Sakurai’s children.
Princess Sophia said she was inspecting the surrounding areas and stuff because of the high monster activities and thus asked Makoto to wait for her to finish her job
Ty for the translation, Reigokai sama!!!!
I loved that attack (Ice World), it resemblance the attack from Aoikito from One Piece xD
Thnx for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter.
Next up, Makoto accidentally charms Sakurai because Sakurai already loves Makoto like a brother.
For a moment, I thought he would kissed Lucy and called Fire Element-Fire Dragon there.
The author has his own way of thinking.
GJ!
Thanks for the chapter Raigokai!
First the princess drops by to check on Makoto, now Sakurai drops by to check on Furiae, the small city will become a hot spot
Thought he would kiss Lucy and use fire spirit magic but ok.
That’s the cliche thing, so it isn’t going to happen!
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! And Sakurai is here!!!! Wait does that mean Furiae won’t join Makoto’s harem? I mean I don’t have a problem with that but I was for sure thinking she’d join Makoto due to him being completely immune to her charms unlike everyone else, I mean even Sakurai is affected by it even at his peak during noon… Oh well maybe I was right and she will and Sakurai being here is for something else~ Anyway, the destructive powers of spirit magic truly is akin to that of natural disasters~ Wonder if Sakurai will help Chris in her battle for inheritance due to her being Fuji’s fiance and Makoto’s friend? Probably, seems like the most likely case
There’s no need for Sakurai to help Chris. I don’t think he’d be allowed anyways since it’d be a person from another country interfering with a matter of succession in a foreign city. Anyways Princess Sofia has more or less shown that she supports Chris when she personally came to Makkaren and contracted Fuji-yan to be her guide and stuff..
By help I mean showing that Chris and him have a connection of sorts, Besides I wouldn’t be surprised if her sisters had seduced a noble from the sun kingdom, afterall the rose kingdom in the eyes of the sun kingdom is even beneath some nobles let alone the royal family and heroes
He’s friends with Fuji too. He’s just BL for Makoto, lol
Looks like the Sun country hero is infatuated with Furi. Hasn’t been that long since Makoto came back. Nice reaction to the monsters though.Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the new chapter!
Thanks for the chapter~
There’s a bit of typo here:
Today we are moving separately. She told me she would be meeting you though.” (Makoto)
“Yeah, we were together in the morning, but she left in the afternoon.” (Makoto)
Rather than Makoto talking twice, it should have been Emily that is talking instead.
Thanks for the chapter…
Furiae charms the light hero so much, in romantic sense.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter! 😸
Lol. The heroes stole the spotlight.
Thanks for the chapter
Oh damn Makoto,.. I mean Furiae’s boyfriend is here
Just stay cool, he doesn’t know you been seducing her with synchro magic, or that you took her to a goblin nest, with a goblin king….
“…What are you doing here?” you say?
What else would he be here for?
Deus ex machina!
Deus Ex Sakurai
Thanks for the chapter
Lol Sakurai stealing the spotlight
Considering how he arrived, he literally did steal it.
Thanks for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter!
Really, Sakurai? You couldn’t stand being apart from Furi for a few days? 😒
Considering how much comments have been screaming for Takki to steal her away…
Yeah… Sakurai can feel the incoming NTR flag and so he’s coming to destroy it hahaha
I see no reason as to why she shouldn’t have a harem. Furi should snag the wind, fire and earth heroes while she’s at it.
There we go! These Heroes are always having harems. It’s high time that they are the harem!
He wants to make sure that he won’t get NTR’ed.
Thank you for the chapter !
Sakurai is probably at Makkaren to visit Furiae.
dont forget he come because makoto too
So does that make him the real third member of Ma,oto’s harem instead of furi?
