Chapter 60: Retribution

Warning this chapter contains violent expressions. Proceed at your own discretion.

If you can’t handle this kind of things, just skim through it.

Btw, I am in exams, so expect chapters a bit late.


 

“This is… Tsige? Did I… return?”

A woman’s voice.

“A… A ha! I was saved! This air, this scent, there is no doubt! It’s Tsige!”

At that moment, I found the girl.

At the place where I was following, I found her.

In a narrow back alley with no presence of other people.

That was the place where that girl just woke up in. I was surprised. That was truly one of the three people. The girl that acted like she was the leader.

She had terrible injuries in all her body.

They were serious injuries, to the point that it would be impossible for her to return alive if she were in the wasteland.

But well, this is the town. If she exits to the streets and calls out, she would be saved.

No matter how late in the night it is, the Tsige who has a lot of alleys in the brothels should have someone passing by.

The chance to meet a bad person is there. But if it’s her, I feel like she would be splendidly saved by a good willed person.

That’s right, if only she is able to exit the alley and call out.

The girl could have been saved.

If only it were a bit later in time, at a time where I didn’t know such a thing happened.

Not even I know what happened to my body.

It was at the time when I was pondering about how to ask the collapsed girl about what happened while walking closer to her.

My magic power that was clinging to her body and the reason for her wounds were because of the disaster in Asora.

I wanted to know. That’s for certain.

“… Tailing, ambrosia, hostile demi-humans, kill, #$%&, objective, hunt them down, mist town, Raidou, the enemy <>? Town, danger, conspirator, doubts, why did those two? ()=~|~=, escape, success, Tsige, smash, kill, steal, snatch, right, fortune, Ando? Trash, foolish demi-human, night, treasure mountain, !”# ravine, a tracker, strongest weapon, trump card, good-for-nothing ring RTGH, exploding light” <OMG this is nightmare right here>

Suddenly, a big amount of something began to flow into me.

I was being forcefully shown a high amount of images with high volume and speed, reading aloud sentences that didn’t follow any logical connection, and the sudden letters continued like subtitles that didn’t have any sense. Sometimes, I caught on a wave of sounds that were like noise which I couldn’t catch their meaning and a richly colored stain-like pattern was mixed in.

Anyways, it made me want to puke. My head felt heavy, it stirred me heavily and even made me feel pain. To casually pour so much fragmented information without rearranging them, it made my head feel agony.

What in the world is this? The experience of someone else? Or maybe, memories?

The feeling of having a person’s memories pouring inside of me is just terrible.

But…

This was not the first time I felt like wanting to puke. Her thoughts, and the contents of the latest memories I could read. Obviously, I couldn’t remember all the memories’ information that was poured. The last thought that flowed into me. That definitely remained in my head.

I was planning to heal her first when I was getting close to her.

Just how much time did it pass? The bodily sensation of time certainly felt long, but it may not have been that long.

But well, I had already deactivated [Sakai]. The intention to heal was lost entirely.

This is not all the hyumans right? This is only her way of thinking and experiences after all.

However, they may have a lot of common points between them. Thinking like that, when I saw beautiful people, I felt a strange sensation from this world, or more like a distortion.

The view of hyumans on the demi-humans, no, the way they view anything that’s different from them. It may be an extreme case but I have seen one example of it here after all.

Anyways, this one is no good.

Wanting to vomit, disgust, and also anger. I felt a hatred that was close to being anger, on a level I haven’t felt before.

Those kind of things were revolving inside my head. The want of shouting, screaming, was filling up in my throat.

The moment she understood this was Tsige and was letting out a voice of joy…

I dragged her inside the mist. Along with all in the circumference.

For her, it must have been like all was enveloped by mist suddenly.

The sudden change of the situation made her shake her head left and right in order to confirm her surroundings.

Inside the dense mist, I approach the girl that hasn’t understood that she is in a different space.

“Who is it?!”

She must have confirmed that there was someone else from my silhouette, she shouts at the place where I was.

“You are… Raidou?!”

I didn’t answer. Because there was no need to exchange our intentions.

“I see, so you chased after me. But it is already too late. This is Tsige. You, who are cooperating with demi-humans that attack hyumans, won’t have comrades!”

“Cooperating? Ah~, in your memories that is the case huh. I don’t have any intention of explaining it, so just think whatever you want” (Makoto)

It was not definite, but I feel like I saw an image of her comrades’ circumstances and a conversation saying that the demi-humans were responsible.

I use the most fitting words in Japanese to tell her what I feel.

“What? What are you saying? Did you go crazy?”

Of course, she didn’t have the blessing of the Goddess as an intermediary, so she couldn’t understand Japanese. She must have felt uncomfortable by me who was saying words she couldn’t get.

“I am seriously disgusted by myself. I now think from the bottom my heart that I should have killed you guys when I could. But since I was at my limit with just handling myself, somewhere inside me still measured the hyumans of this world as the ones in my own” (Makoto)

“I am telling you that I don’t understand what you are saying! Talk with writing like you always do!”

I could tell that her voice was growing hysteric by the moment. She must want to hide her fear. It was the life she had finally saved after all. She must want to treasure it.

“For such a beautiful person to normally strike a conversation with someone like me, seriously, what a joke. Am I not the prime example of a man that would only be called out by a catch seller?” (Makoto)

“Raidou. Release this mist and free me. If it is now, I can still spare you. You may be incarcerated, but even if you are arrested it won’t be a death sentence immediately”

She stood up by sliding on the alley’s wall and prepares her weapon. Even though she should have seen my fighting, she still thinks that looking at the level is a believable value?

“Is that a bluff? Or are you serious? It is about you, there may be something. You are certainly more incredible compared to someone like me. You are blessed like a hero from stories” (Makoto)

I seriously thought that from the bottom of my heart.

“Even if I am injured, I am a level 96 adventurer. I won’t fall behind a merchant”

“By chance we were staying in Asora at the same time as the forest ogres, so it was in a state where they didn’t pay much attention to us, and we were lodged in a place close to the dwarfs’ disposal storage. They didn’t have that much sense of danger, so we were able to steal an equipment, even if it seemed of inferior quality. We got our hands on a damaged Draupnir and when we were discovered I ran to the mist gate that we had passed through before, and was able to push aside the pursuers with the ring that I threw and exploded by chance. Just in case, I used the tool called Clay Aegis or something like that and while being the weakest three, one of us survived. By chance, there was a wave of magic power that was similar and was able to wrench open the mist gate, which I used to return to town”

Just what kind of joke is this? Just how many miracles had to happen in order for this to happen? Will of the heavens? Or maybe unconventional luck? This is already not on that level right?

The connection I did from the scene I got, may have been a bit wrong. There is a chance that a certain percent of it may have been her own desires.  And also, it is not certain that those were actually her memories. That’s right, even if I try seeing the current situation objectively, I see her luck as abnormal.

Certainly, what we did carried a big problem. Suggestion and strain.

It is at the level of a junior high school student opening a cafe at a culture festival trying to actually sell food and drinks. There are a mountain of problems. Of course, you did a lot of it mostly because you were in the festival mood, and you noticed just now, meaning, you noticed too late.

Once again I say it, these people had way too much luck. No, in the end here I am confronting them, so maybe she is unlucky? The other two seem to have already died after all.

“This is the last time, I know that this weird mist was something you made. Release it”

My right hand held the grip of the Athame and unsheathe it.

She must have understood my answer. I heard a low sound of someone gulping their breath.

I am glad I brought this dagger with me. There is no better weapon to take care of someone like this.

What I understood with the guy’s death.

The highland orcs that were accompanying these three. While they were running, these thrash did that to Tomoe’s body portion, the Arke and the guy who was close to them.

The two of them informed him of the abnormal event, told him to step back, and even with that, he, who was trying to capture those three… How foolish. He should have stepped back. Tomoe’s body portion tried to reduce the force by placing herself in the front and the barrier was destroyed along with her, and then, the Arke that was behind walked through the steps of death. And the highland orc that was there… even though it was something a highland orc would not be able to resist…

If he were not controlled by the sense of responsibility and had obediently stepped back, he could have been saved.

But his actions and the death afterwards, I don’t want to blame him for that. At least he tried in his own way to desperately take them back after all. And it is also the truth that he died while trying to do it.

That’s why, he may have been wrong, but I think his actions are worthy of respect. With the dagger that I have received from you guys, I have taken revenge for him, is what I will tell Ema and the other highland orcs. At least I hope this will help out somewhat.

With a cold and calm thinking, I thought about the things that will happen hereafter.

“This is the dagger that’s been handed down by the orc who died because of your useless struggle” (Makoto)

The girl doesn’t say anything more to the fact that I wasn’t speaking with her in writing.

While pouring jeers onto me who was getting closer, she pointed the tip of her long sword to me.

Without caring about the cries that were coming out from her mouth, the sword looked like it was waiting for me to get closer. No, maybe she plans on notifying the surroundings by letting out a loud voice. If this was Tsige, it could have been successful with her luck.

I already know that because of her body’s injuries she is not in the state where she can charge at me. She is seriously injured after all. Of course, she should know what can happen if she turns her back to me.

The distance between us slowly disappears.

It may be obvious but the one who gets the first strike is her. The range between a long sword and a dagger is different.

Her eyes told me that it was time to release the spring that was charged. Our distance was close enough to confirm our faces inside this mist.

Her aim… seems to be my throat. A thrust huh.

The point of the sword that carried all her might, makes a high-pitched sound just before reaching my face. [Sakai] barrier. It was a sound like the mutual clash of swords. Her body was also washed away like when one gets pushed back by a sword, both of her arms going upwards.

I didn’t have any hesitation.

Doing one step to the front, I hit both of the arms of her with my Athame. The dagger that was swung in reverse made a deep blue line and I disposed of both of her arms and the long sword at the same time.

There was no resistance. I didn’t feel much resistance when I did this with the black spider as well. There is no way the thin arms of this woman would prove any obstacle.

In return, a small amount of blood stuck onto me. How annoying. I kick the girl, who still hasn’t made a cry and had only begun coloring her face in fright, in the abdomen. The space between her and me once again widens.

Blown away and mixed in the mist, her silhouette screams. What is up with her?

Ah, what a pain in the ears.

Didn’t you kill as well? With that worthless sense of value of yours, thinking that hyumans are supreme. For me, Tomoe’s body portion and the orc were also in the same, no, their lives were heavier than yours.

I approach without any hurry to the shadow that was writhing in agony. It was just as I imagined me taking the life of someone. No, it was even more than that. I may be a selfish and arrogant person.

I don’t know what would happen if it had nothing to do with me. I may be a disgusting existence.

Even though I am going to murder someone who has the same form as me, I didn’t feel any sort of guilt. Only anger and killing intent. I was being spurred on by the impulse that I should do this.

“… Hii!!!”

She must have noticed my approach. She rolled over and turned, like a caterpillar that was trying to hide in the ground. From her mouth, fear was leaking out.

It would have been fine if you just squirmed there in pain and blood. Because there is no way the result would change anyways.

“Then, sayonara” (Makoto)

“Sa-SAVE ME~!!! I will do anything, any-“

There was no need to hear until the end her boring pleads.

Just like how she aimed for my throat, I also pierce my dagger at her neck. For a short while, she convulsed, from her wrist, neck and mouth, blood flowed.

Until the end, we didn’t exchange a single “conversation”.

My knees lose strength.

Maybe because I had done a murder, or it might be because I wasn’t able to stop the rampage of those three and was unable to save the orc…

I cried.

    1. It always had a darkside to it ever since the cursed Rembrandt mother and daughter arc.

      And wait, shouldn’t firo already know this since he/she have already read the raws?

      1. (hit reply before that comment was done here is the revised that was meant to be written) oh no it evolved and in all the wrong ways plz change back since it’s uglier than normal

    1. agreed… he so much naive with human true emotion and feeling…. greed is good if you know where to direct it…. if not….. you are crazy for power, status or many more.

  1. Ahh I just love it when main characters turn to the dark side, hopefully he stops being naive and become someone like shield bro.

      1. Shield hero is one of the best. Remember what happened to tact and his family and harem members. Now thats justice or ya know, capital punishment or something. Haha

    1. that would be sad… he has hyuman friends too though doesn’t he?
      im hoping for more of a rapture thing, where he takes all the non-hyumans who can get along peacfully with one another, and brings them to Asora. and maybe take some hyumans who he trusts and knows personally.
      however, thats you’re probably right.

  2. Honestly I was at a loss in this chapter.
    I can understand that those 3 guys were actually the people Tomoe brought in from when they tried to attack the fairies. And the other 2 dudes died most likely (Not certain if that was written during the description of the events.). But what I wonder is if she’s an hero or just a random girl from Tsige? Makoto talking in Japanese and also talking about her as being slightly special just made it seem like she was 1 of the 3 heroes.. Though that’s most likely not the case right? The cause of the explosion was the rings that she found and detonated (Aka Makoto’s aura sealers.) ..

    This was simply a lot to take in so adding in what I understood as an summary also let me put my thoughts in order.. But it felt like this event wasn’t actually to well written by the author as it rushed through way too much and the way how it described how things went down also wasn’t paced properly. Though Makoto finally having his first kill will develop his character thankfully.

    1. I’m of the same opinion. This chapter was confusing but the meaning was there it’s possible that the translation could be bad so we don’t know who’s fault it is. My summary of what happened:

      went into the distortion (gate) to chase the culprit finds the girl had “data” rush into his mind only understanding the last part (non-hyuman destroy them all?) this kinda gets explained(infered) while raidou walks closer to her. Then he kills her.

      What I don’t understand is why he didn’t ask her why she did this before killing her. Don’t get me wrong I’d still kill her but I’d at least want to know why she tried to attack asora.

      1. I believe it was because of the weapons. We saw that she was a bit power hungry from the chapter that was from her POV.

        However I was expecting them to similar to the Adventurer Trio from Slime Tensei. There really wasn’t anything hinting to a situation like this.

        Again some of this is to blame on Raidou and Tomoe for not explaining things to the adventurers before bringing them to a town made up of monsters. I doubt the adventurers were aware that the town existed in another dimension since the girls didn’t understand the mist at all. The language barrier probably make monsters and hyumans natural enemies as well.

        The naive part everyone’s complaining about wasn’t bringing the adventurers in but expecting them to understand the situation without a good explanation which Tomoe isn’t really one to do.

      2. To sum up:
        1. The three girls don’t like demi-humans at all. AT ALL. They are extremists when it comes to Hyuman supremacy. So when the chance came, they decided to sneak into the warehouse where the dwarves keep their failed products(Even if the stuff is a failure, it’s still stuff made by some high class blacksmith, it’s either damn good regardless or fetch a high price.) steal some stuff, and run off back to Tsiuge. However, along the way they encountered Tomoe’s mini-clone, Arke and a highland orc. The three tried to restrain them, but one of the girls threw the ring that absorbed our MC’s magic. Which acted like a bomb. Tomoe clone and Arke tried to defend against it but get severely injured due to that. The orc and two of the girls died, And the ring triggered the gate letting last girl barely escape with her life.

        When Makoto chased after the girl he got flooded with a massive amount of information. During the chapter he was making sense of it all. A lot of it was either the girl’s memories or someone elses. But he knew that they hated demi-humans because of it. Asking why they did that doesn’t matter to him anyway. They did something they shouldn’t have, and he was far too angry to even consider giving a shit.

    2. Ditto, I don’t really get it either, but if I remember correctly, that girl was that ‘honey trap’ one, and seems to be ‘blessed’ with good fortune. — Though it wasn’t stated when she was introduced, so I can’t really follow. (When she was introduced, it was intuition.)

      Also, I thought it was 2 heroes.

  3. ….good. He finally realize that hyuman are shitty race.

    Destroy the world, rebuild the world. Kill the bug, strip-off her authorities, and bring a new order to the flawed world she has created.

    Vote for changes. Vote for Makoto. Join our cause.
    For more information, call 1-4242-MAKOTO-567

    1. No, he shouldn’t kill the bug and destroy the world. Just strip-off her power and turn the world into hell. Imprison the shitty hyuman along with her there and let them suffer for eternity. Who need the world created by bug, he already have his splendid asora.

      1. isn’t the world actually make the contract with the goddess…. that she create the hyuman and beautiful creature and vanish the old resident to the end of the world? correct me if i’m wrong.

      2. From what I understand, she made a deal with original inhabitants of the world to be able to make a race as she pleased. She then used trickery and pushed her creations to take over and force all the other races to the more inhospitable areas. This is only my opinion on what might have happened.

  4. As tragic as this is, it is good to see a protagonist making an honest but major mistake and promptly correcting it. As for the girl, the only cure for stupidity is death. Thanks for the chapter.

  5. Thank you for the new chapter Rei! Thanks so much!
    I was in danger from last chapter’s extreme cliff hanging.
    * now off to read silently *

  6. Oh, I like major events like this that wakes the MC from their naivety.

    I hope we will see Makoto go all-out rampage mode.

  7. Wtf is going on, im so confused, all i can understand is data? Somehow the orcs died, and only she survived somehow? And she wants to kill everything… Wtf, this last two chapters…. Is there anway u can rewrite this and have it make sense? I know you probably want to keep the author’s writing style.. But this is just too hard to understand…

    Thanks for the translation

    1. lol… I’ll explain to you all i understood… the 3 idiots were left by Tomoe with the dwarfs after capturing them(they were tailing the MC if you remember from some chapters back), I’m guessing that Tomoe wanted to show them around since all she wants is to increase the population for her Waka’s land… then she went back to the MC leaving some orcs and her clone to escort them… that was her mistake(that’s why she said “sorry” before passing out)… The piece of sh… i mean the 3 idiots apparently feel “disgust” if not worst towards the demihumans and other races living there so they tried to escape from them but not before stealing from the dwarfs of course… as they ran away, one of them thew one of the things she had stolen towards the people that were chasing them as now they were thieves… a ring… she thew a ring that made an explosion that was going to destroy everything around… Tomoe’s clone used her body to protect as much as she could but as she perished she wasn’t enough(thus the real one passed out taking on the damage of the clone), then Arke did the same(MC found it in a horrible state last chapter) but still wasn’t enough, so many orcs that were behind them died right away, injuring the ones that were farther away(the ones Lich was healing)… 2 of the garbag… i mean idiots apparently died in the explosion as well but one of the orcs somehow as he had being ordered to escort them, used all his power to saved the last of them… she somehow went back to her world but as soon as she did was dragged by the MC back to his world, he did that because he saw everything that had happened as in a movie went through his mind but at speed 4x(really fast) while following after her, he even saw what the trio had being thinking in their minds, and saw the grotesque way in which they viewed them(everyone in the MC’s world), he is now wonders if all hyumans think alike inside their minds… as he couldn’t believe that the orcs had being killed by her because of her stupid actions, he cut her arms and pierce her neck… i was hopping for worse but i”ll let it go :)… after reading the way an OP slime main character in another light novel killed 10,000 humans after they killed a couple of his people(very similar to this), this feels pretty normal lol…
      P.S. maybe i didn’t understand very well either and missed something or misunderstood something, so if I did… sorry…

  8. best chapter by far… the character development that he will have from now on, his value of hyumans and him having a reason to listen to the demon lord’s request of aid for war(i have high hopes)… i hope Ema is ok 🙁 …
    P.S. Thank you so much for the chapter and good luck with your exams 🙂 mine start in 2 weeks

  9. I can’t. I really can’t read it silently (almost yelled) ‘What the hell..’
    The story really turned dark. One of the orc died. The one who gave Makoto the crystal ceremonial knife ( Orc Chief? Ema’s father?) We need explanation on this, Captain.
    The adventurers are a greedy, violent bunch. It’s quite a fitting and to them..

  10. Thanks 4 the chapter!

    If what was transmited to Makoto is true, that girl was really racist. Not that it’s suprising. Humans have racism within the same species. I can imagine what would happen when another species is concern.
    Bet if elves exist in our world there will be a sizable number of people that hates and fear them because they are different.

  11. I don’t think you guys realize but this chick he just killed is the same one that’s been stalking him. In doing so she was hoping to become strong enough to venture into the wastelands to reclaim the dagger he just used to kill her with. That dagger was her mother’s. She hated demi-humans for that reason believing that they were responsible for the death of her mother and the downfall of her family.

    If I’m not mistaken isn’t she bringing her sister to Tsige? Can anyone confirm this? I remember a character stating about bringing her little sister out to Tsige and I am pretty sure it was this chick.

    1. OMG, how Toa could be mistaken for that bitch? They’re two different people, I’d say, totally different people.

    2. Nope, not the same girl. The girl (i don’t remember her name) that wanted the dagger (MC hasn’t realized that he has her dagger i think) was the one who looked like the girl he knew in the other world (One of the heros summoned). Remember that he became her friend after the incident when he rescued her and all
      This girl (the one he killed) is the one who drowned by the greed started stalking him (since she thought he was the weaker of his group) and then followed him to the forest when her group f**ked it up like Shinji in Evangelion, thus shit happened…
      (reclused in Asora->stole s**t while having disgusting thoughts about demihumans-> ran with LOOT while followed-> threw the ring, BOOM and she escaped->MC reached her)

  12. Ohh whats this??? Is this the rumored character development ? If so……..its about damn time…..now come to the darkside….let your past self fade away embrace the power you’ve been given….make them bleed make them despair…..show them how truly UGLY the UGLY races can be….as far as that girl her death was to quick…he should have cut off her arms legs an tongue removed her teeth an turned her into a flesh pillow

  13. I think this chapter is less confusing than previous one. The adventurer women just some random person, not hero or anything. Raidou used japan because he was not intended to converse to her, just talking to himself. Because of anger i think, like when you didnt care about that person and doing self talking. He is not questioning the woman because some random ‘memory transfer’ he received. He understand the viewpoint of the woman of demi-human and that was her fault that asora end up exploding. About language, i am not sure, but doesnt the arce and tomoe already able to use ‘hyuman language’? And tomoe made sure that the adventurer receive good service, they even held some asora tour for those adventurer. That is enough to think ‘we welcome you and not intend to do bad think to you’. And if those adventurer have some doubt, they can investigate it further instead steal equipment and blowed up asora. Well that just what i thought when reading this chapter :p

  14. Raidou chased the girl and went through the distortion gate… through mist (remember tomoe’s power to read memories), somehow fragmented memories flow into his mind. Then,he found the girl and taken her into the mist and killed her

  15. MC finally got rid of his naive attitude. Even if a little. I hope next comes making love with Mio and Tomoe.

    However, I wouldn’t want MC becoming like Naofumi, that doesn’t suit him. I believe, he should be a kind, but stern ruler, not making difference between various races, including hyumans. And one, who wouldn’t resort to excessive violence like Ro.

    BTW, it’s only me or there’s a feeling, that some third power’s behind all of this. All that abnormal luck and etc. Maybe someone used some brainwashing to enchance trio’s hatred and get them doing what they’ve done?

  16. BTW, where’s ‘warning this chapter contains violent expressions. Proceed at your own discretion’? I expected a lot of heavy abusive language, but there’s almost none. =_=

  17. Ok, I see that some of you are confused so I’ll try summarize the 2 chapter in my best of my ability.

    First lets introduce the adventurers.
    1.lucky(?) bitch leader – the one who tried to seduce makoto, thought that mio is the leader of the group of makoto, thought that tomoe is a servant of mio, a really greedy self centered BITCH.
    2.hardworking girl – this girl always nags the bitch that they must not rely much to others and do their best on their own which bitch denied cause if toa’s group can have tomoe who is lower juniors to them, why not they can’t rely on tomoe.
    1.equipment guy – only male in their group who believes that they must buy better equipments so that they can hunt more efficiently which bitch denied cause if they have tomoe it’s more efficient and they can have more better equipments if they sell the loots they get.

    (Find the chap before mio and makoto’s date(lol) so you can understand the things I wrote, it’s in the pov of the bitch)

    Summary

    After the trio got teleported to asora, they guided in the town which when bitch saw got greedy thought of plundering it but unable too cause the mobs are too high lvl, when they got a chance they gone to the drawves warehouse and stole some equipments then got discoverd by mini tomoe and lackey arke and chief orc(ema’s dad) which the trio tried to run but almost got caught and bitch here who is desperate to get away throw a highly charged makoto ring bomb that detonate and has high chance giving heavy damage to asora so mini tomoe absorbs the impact to minimize the damage with lackey arke and chief Orc, note that lackey arke and chief Orc can run away but stayed to minimize the damage cause their in the middle of town which leads to fatal injuries for arke and insta death for ema’s papa, then boom! The damage that mini tomoe took was absorb but was not enough and damaged the near buildings and injuring some folks near by, and also damaging a portion of the original tomoe which leads to the events in the last chap.

    Now Makoto who followed bitch catch up on her, he was planning to heal her but suddenly some data memories(maybe he got the ability from tomoe but not sure) came inside him and he saw why bitch tried to seduce him, why she followed him in the forest ogres forest, how she felt greed and envy to the folks of asora, and how she was the cause of the explosion(here where makoto discovered that there was a casualty, ema’s papa, chief Orc), that she was planning to return to asora and wants plunder the place and kill all of the folks in there and lastly which is the one that makoto snap is is HYUMANS ARE SUPREME ALL DEMI AND MONSTER MUST BE KILLED FOR HYUMANS(I’ll also snap when someone wants to kill my friend just be racist), bitch was shouting she was back at tsige and makoto thought that she was lucky to she manage to came back at tsige but was also unlucky cause he caught up on her and when she was planning her next move when suddenly she was caught by mist she look back to see makoto there speaking jap which she asks if he is insane, bitch try to corner makoto by saying he was collaborating with monsters and that he just surrender already and get arrested and he won’t die just yet(lol so your saying in the end he will still die?) on the other hand makoto is unsheathing the knife he receive from chief Orc and was glad that he has it cause with this he can take revenge for him, seeing it bitch ready her sword with a jeer cause he knows makoto’s lvl(lol) and said she won’t lose to a weak merchant, bitch had the first attack and yelled to attract the folks of tsige but useless cause she is in the mist of Makoto then her thrust was block by sakai raising her two arms in surprise which makoto given a chance executed three attacks which cutting bitch two arms with knife and a kick sending bitch flying without letting her to react at all then makoto slow walk to the agonizing bitch which bitch notice and let out a pathetic scream and tried to run when makoto is caught her pleaded for her life but before she can finish her pleading makoto said his goodbyes and thrust the knife in the neck of the bitch which she squirmed a bit before dying then when makoto cool down he started crying

  18. i don’t know you guys but this chapter is pretty easy to understand (the only hard part is the amount of “data” he get by the memories in the gate, the girls is the adventurer who wanted treasures from a little chapters ago (the same of the POV chapter) she is not Toa who is the one seeking the dagger.

    They were a guy and two girls team , they reached Asora after Makoto asked tomoe help to deal with them, tomoe make a big mistake and left them wander at will with the dwarfs and orcs but they grow scared for they concept of them as monster (most likely the high orcs) and were really unnable to read the mood, then they lured most likely by this girl waited to stole the weapons storage (but it wasn’t, it was the failure storage with plenty dangerus things like makoto rings) and the one there to ward was a high orc.

    The orc realize they steal and he start to pursue the dumb trio with the male arke and mini tomoe who noticed this, the greed bastard girl trow then one of makoto’s ring and tomoe and the arke tried to stop the orc who still follow them due to his sense of guilty (most likely this guy make ablunder under his ward and allow the trio to stole all so he felt responsible for all), the ring craked and tomoe who was aware of what was going to happen tried to protect the orc and the arke steping in front of them, without success ; and the ring blow insta killing the orc, the two companions hyumans and mini tomoe and nearly killed the arke (whom makoto saved after).

    This open the mist gate and when she thougnt was saved, makoto reach her and saw all the fragmented memories and fellings from her like fragmented message, what made makoto snap and kill her fr the displeasure he sensed of his way of though and apraise the people in asora.

    i gonna say this but here the one to blame wasn’t the greed idiot girl, but tomoe who most likely left the trio be, since the hyumans can’t understand the orcs and arkes and see them as monster there is no help that they wasn’t able to see them as lowly begins, but what ultimately sick makoto was the point of view of this girl who value only the things thatwere beautiful and hate other things.

    More likely makoto act were wrong since he also was unnable to judge her out of his wrath.

      1. i don’t find any summary embarrasing, if i have the time and the will to do it, i will just do it.

        also make a summary this long don’t take much time if u are that slow writting poor of u, there are many people that will find this helpful .

  19. “SPOILER ALERT”
    ====================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
    well i don’t know which one spout the spoiler when i read in animesuki or 4chan, Makoto rage and want to kill his friend the girl that kidnapped by the bug, i don’t know what happened to the girl from his world that confess makoto, but to kill Tomoe+Mio out of jealousy is out of question unless the bug itself use her blessing as mind control to kill makoto while makoto fame become well known for being invisible especially he beat the goddess of war that never lose in battle before. I HATE TRAGEDY -_- i don’t know if tomoe and mio still alive or not because of some order of bug make all residence tsige kill him or maybe he wipe all thrash hyuman without exception until he go to the bug sanctuary :v

    1. What? The girls who confessed to Makoto weren’t chosen as heroes. That was just us readers assumptions. There is a chance that the girl who is a hero is an acquaintance of his, but that’s it. But Tomoe was only injured because of the backlash from her clone being destroyed. Are you talking about the raws?

      1. well yeah the raw since i cant read raw someone said tomoe and mio died by the hand of makoto friend the hero girl when the bug order her killed makoto and the rest of his follower i dont know which chp they discuss but someone already tell that in the spoiler

  20. I can’t justify the girl’s actions at all. Makoto however finally crossed a line that there was no turning back. It was the one line that he forced Tomoe and Mio not to cross too. However, he was justified in a sense. Sadly the justice was enacted by rage. And thanks to the girl, it’s going to be harder for Makoto to trust hyumans now.

    Still, I’m glad that I was wrong about it being the bug.

    1. Not only was it justified, if she had been allowed to live, she would have riled up the hyumans spouting off nonsense that paints her in the best light possible.

      1. He could had had her held trial in Asora for her crimes, to let her see how pathetic she was before executing her. However, he was to angry to think like that. To kill in mere rage is to basically be a beast.

      2. Those are our sensibilities. That world has different sensibilities. Plus, the trial would have been a farce. There were eyewitnesses, and her own memories incriminated her. She obviously was unrepentant and planning on leading an attack on Asora (it wouldn’t have worked, even if they could get in, but it would have been stupid to allow someone like that to roam free). All that was left was the punishment.

      3. Let me straighten one thing up, I said there was nothing to justify the girl’s actions. Makoto’s actions were justified, but he carried out his justice with rage. He gave in to the one side of him that even he knew he never had. Makoto doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to murder, even those who deserve it. However, he let the killer within out. His rage caused him not to think. And now he has a dead body to dispose of. Personally, torture is the better way to go. Being maimed is 20 times worst than death.

      4. I see where you’re coming from now. I can’t really say if killing her out of rage was the right mindset to do it in. We’ll just have to see if he can live with it. And as for torture, that would be good if he was wanting to send a message to those who would attack Asora, but he’s currently trying to make everyone see that Asora is harmless, and the racists would have used this girl’s torture to make others angry, plus, she would spread lies about how the demihumans of Asora attacked her party and tortured her for no reason. Torture would be satisfying, but it would backfire in a big way.

    2. We live in a world where there are police, courts and codices of law, which is why we very rarely encounter justice in rage these days and in these countries but in the past and even now in some rural areas (especially India), village law still works a lot on outrage. Just have to understand that their ways are not our ways and it is very, very counterproductive to think they think like us or should think like us and be forced to. If they want to change, it must be by their choice. Just understand that “outraged justice” is still a form of justice that is possible, both in the past and currently. Think of them as the “Wild West” or something like “Fallout”. Rough and tumble justice.

      1. As I’ve been addicted to New Vegas lately, I have to agree with you on that one. Makoto is like the Courier, wandering the wastes and the one in charge of his own decisions. We can consider the greedy one as Benny, someone who is ready to betray even her two comrades when the situation depends on it to further her own girls. Where Makoto came from, is more or less the old world where there were laws and such. As Makoto being the Courier can basically also being the player, we have morals that are of the old world. But some of the decisions made, had to be against the old world morals that constrain us. So yeah, this is a case of wasteland justice. I just hope Makoto doesn’t regret his decision, there is no check point to go back to.

  21. I had no idea one Orc had died in the last chapter, i thought i was only the Arke who got heavily injured. It was quite obvious to me that they would try something as he let Tomoe bring them to Asora in the first place, but this could be for the better, someone who understand the value of life and will not hesitate to destroy the enemy if a good beginning for this MC.

    1. this two last chapters makoto have been telling us one and another time that he felt discomfort from the magic of an orc that he couldn’t find, and more likely the Strange stone that he found was either , the cracked ring or a magic core from the high orc who died(i think is the ring since we don’t know if the orcs have a magic core like the other demons since they are a sentience specie).

      And this is far from ideal for him, he would find guilty in what he had done if someone told him that he just did the same thing what the adventurer did to the demi-humans, either way he is gonna be pushed to grow in a forced manner and he from his point of view (ours too) is just a kid, he is not ready to be forced to kill someone with that mind set of his.

      That is why i told here that tomoe would either try to comfort him or feel even more guilty, since this could change the entire mindset of makoto(while is naive is not bad behaivor, in fact is far better than this world; but with this he can fall in a wrong way, of thinking about everyone), this is why is a great chapter, the way this develop would make him either a better guy or a Demon lord-like guy who search the vindication of the world.

    1. The idiot trio slipped past their guards, and grabbed one of Makoto’s used power drain rings. They then started using the pent up power in the ring by making it go haywire to get the Asora residents to back off while making a break for the Mist Gate, then threw the ring into the Mist Gate on the verge of being cornered to make the ring explode. The explosion killed one Orc, fatally wounded an Ark (the one Makoto and Lich’s healing saved), and destroyed Tomoe’s duplicate guide as it worked to minimize the damage from the explosion (causing massive physical feedback damage to Tomoe). Two of the trio were killed by the blast they intentionally created, and the bitch slipped through the Mist Gate that had been wrenched open by the blast. At the very end, the bitch was only concerned about her own safety, (didn’t care about her party mates) and knowing the location of the Ambrosia to return later to make her fortune.

      So she was killed in vengeance for being a horrible person, who’d killed and gotten others killed for her own greed.

      1. Ummm overall i did think it was something like that with a few differences opinion
        1. All orc and dwarf are dead because of the ring explosion
        2. Most of arke are critically wounded
        I know i’m not supposed to complain about the translation but honestly, i lost my comprehension since the time lich gets introduced

      2. How do you say it?
        I mean im grateful but it would be nice if the translation could give an imagination of what truly happenin
        I surely lost myself when he explain about his anger
        Im confused as wether the orcs died (especially about Ema the first heroine cause tge translator mentioned her last update) as if the orcs died but at the previous chapter it only mentioned that most of the settlements people are injured with the exception of fatally wounded arke (which makes my back turn cold…) actually can someone tell me what happened from tge lich battle chapter?

  22. FIRST BLOOD!
    Took you long enough,he is trying to act cool like Satou (DM), he is way too soft on other,indeed he is as OP as Satou but Satou is an adult,he know what he is doing,now that he has learn his lesson,try to not make the same mistake again :3 (seriously,world where the hyuman worship bug cant be anything good)
    cant wait till his next kill

    1. i disagree,he should had let her go with no harm to get her to think abouth her action but killing wont bring back anyone…also he might start to kill more and more slowly becoming less human…is that truly what you want ?

  23. It’s really too bad. It’s always sad when a character throws away his principles.

    Now that he’s been able to de-humanise a hyuman enough to kill them without guilt, it’s all too easy for him to kill the next one, and then the other, and finally he’s a genocidal warlord at the head of an army. The moral high ground is gone.

    1. When did he throw away his principles? He realized he was wrong, that the hyumans of this world believe in the genocide of the other races, not the humans of his own world who wouldn’t naturally despise demi-humans (I won’t even go into how ironic that concept is coming from a Japanese author).

      I would say he actually lost some of his naive thoughts and faced the harsh truth of reality.

  24. I think the MC should give a little punishment to tomoe for always do as she pleases.

    by the way, thanks for the chapter Rei-dono

    1. if its because tomoe sometimes do stuff without telling ok but if its because of the incident that happened just now i am againt a punishment, since this is entirely Makoto Fault
      wanna know why? simply thx to what happen`d on the ogre village he focused to much on his own interests and fear, even going back to asora he simply care for the lich wisdom and he knew that Hyumans were transported to asora, and he clearly know that every hyuman see Profit as priority specially he saw them first hand with the ogre`s on the flower -_-. yet back in asora he only care for lich and talks. even tomoe sayng sorry that she made a mistake i think the one saying it should be makoto and i am sure that will happen in next chapters because in these last 2 he noticed it

      anyway i really hate makoto`s naivety but is not like i want a completly heartless character, actually i am more worried about the info of the demon hyuman companions that are the exact ammount of the adventurers he is helping with tomoe and mio and also were found on same place where he was told traitors were

  25. The orcs and dwarfs moved away thanks to the sacrifice of the orc,arke, and clone that got in between the blast from the ring but still get hit but not strong enough to kill them but they were suffering two adventurers died in the explosion one fled while heavily injured only be caught up to by the MC then killed her out of a fit of rage
    KIA:4+clone

  26. die sucker!!!

    @Wtrmute:
    It’s always sad when a character throws away his principles.
    1. It’s a legitimate self defense. A psychopath tried to kill him. Just desert.

    Now that he’s been able to de-humanise a hyuman enough to kill them without guilt, it’s all too easy for him to kill the next one, and then the other, and finally he’s a genocidal warlord at the head of an army. The moral high ground is gone.
    2. Who died and made you the fucking pope? Are you saying all the cops and soldiers who have killed their opponents have been de-humanized?

    1. @pipo:

      1. Legitimate self defense could be argued if she was going to actually hurt somebody else at the point she was attacked by Satou. She wasn’t. Read it again: she had reached Tsige and was about to leave the alleyway and lose herself in the crowd, when Satou pulled her in using the Mist Gate. Then they were in a halfway space between Tsige and Asora where there was no one else, and she could not possibly harm him if she tried (although she did). So there was no one she could possibly harm such that Satou could invoke self-defense.

      In fact, if you look at it, the “idiot” trio clearly thought that they were in danger. They managed to grab a hold of the used power ring, not quite knowing what it was, and tried to use it to make a break to the nearest exit. They did not know that it could or would explode, and remember, the explosion killed two of the three. So it’s much easier to chalk the explosion and the victims (an Orc, a Dwarf, Tomoe’s clone, the Arke who survived, and the two hyumans who got caught up in it) as an ACCIDENT.

      Finally, notice that when Satou caught up with her, he was intending to *heal* her. He was suddenly hit by a wave of hateful thoughts coming from her, and *only then* he decided she had to die. Not because she had killed those followers of his, but because she was bigoted against humanoids. Essentially, she was executed for being guilty of “crime-think”.

      2. As it happens, I am Catholic, but cannot be ordained a priest, much less elected Pope. Regardless, I do not appreciate either the “ad hominem” attack nor the fallacy. When a cop or soldier strikes down a wrongdoer, IF THAT WRONGDOER IS CLEARLY TRYING TO PUT SOMEONE’S LIFE AT RISK, they are justified in their action.

      If, however, the wrongdoer is simply trying to escape or has surrendered, then to strike them down regardless one must, of course, think of them as less than human. And in Satou’s case, the unnamed adventuress stopped being a hyuman like he himself is and became a creature worth less than the dead Orc or Tomoe’s clone. He himself said it.

      So he did de-humanise her, and since he did so with her, he might do it with the next batch of adventurers who look askance towards his merry band of humanoids. It’s easy once he’s done it, particularly since he was able to look her in the eyes and slash her throat as she pleaded for her life.

      So yes, I’m disappointed in this main character, particularly since he seemed so humble and kind in earlier chapters, in stark contrast to the Goddess who dragged him away from all he knew one moment and discarded him in the wastes the next. He seemed different from her, but now, not so much.

      1. Heh. It must be nice to be so assured of your religious and moral beliefs that you can force your expectations on someone in another world under an other god’s governance.

        First of all, these people didn’t have any reason to believe they were in danger. That would be like saying a racist group believes they’re lives are in danger because they suddenly find themselves in a community that they’re against. I don’t know much about other countries’ racist groups, but if you know anything about American history, then you can think of it as some KKK members suddenly finding themselves in a friendly black neighborhood. No matter how the locals treat them, they’ll still be racist bigots.

        Second, that wasn’t “crime-think”, those thoughts were her memories more or less confessing not only to the crime, but also to the fact that she had no remorse, and the fact that she was going to use this as a means to bring the hyumans against Asora. She had no problems telling others whatever needed to be said to get them to believe that the people of Asora meant them harm, even if they were bold faced lies. This wasn’t just punishing a killer with no remorse, this was protecting the people that had sworn themselves to him. They rely on him to protect them. If he didn’t do this much to someone that was obviously a threat, I’d have lost respect for him.

      2. Exactly true. He ought not’ve done what he did. This type of thing can and WILL screw him up for the rest of his life. This kind of bullcorn is why i stopped reading re:monster, overlord, and several other light novels like it; the character goes down a path that leads essentially to evil. The become unforgiving, non-mc like characters. Now that’s not to say that there are no likeable, or at least respectable, evil mc’s (Othello’s Iago being my main choice), but this way of…. Turning…. Put’s a person at risk, whether mc or not, of BSODing. The thoughtless, wanton judging without proper forethought is indeed a main cause of vaderization.

      3. @coatl45:

        It is nice, thanks. I feel that if you aren’t confident in your own religious beliefs, then can you really say you follow that religion? This also applies to ideologies: if I were to call myself a Libertarian, I ought to believe in the “Invisible Hand” of the market and in its power to generate the most amount of wealth for the greatest amount of people, otherwise what’s the point?

        That being said, the principles I invoked to base my argument, while Christian in origin, aren’t disputed by any modern Westerner: belief in the rule of Law, right to life, all people are fundamentally equal, the right to self-defense and the requirements which need to be in place in order to invoke it. Basically no Westerner conversant in moral philosophy would disagree with any of those principles, though they might (as you are) dispute their applicability in the concrete case we’re analysing. For instance, I’m sure Dr. Richard Dawkins would agree with my basic argument, if he were given to reading light novels.

        Regarding whether they had reason to believe they were in danger or not, *given their worldview*, they should have believed that they were in danger, yes. After all, as far as they know, humanoids are hostile. If you were in (say) Mosul, surrounded by ISIS warfighters, you would certainly believe yourself to be in danger, *even if they acted friendly towards you*. After all, everything you know about them tells you that they kill your kind, and who knows when they will decide to kill the infidel dog, after all? The same thought applies to hyumans and Orcs. Now, *in actual fact*, they had nothing to fear, but they could not *reasonably* come to that conclusion that flies in the face of their accepted wisdom. The key word here is reasonably: there is no valid logical argument, coming from the premises they know, which yield the result that they should trust the humanoids.

        Regarding crime-think, I grant that she did hate the humanoids, and she did throw the ring, and that the ring’s explosion *did* kill the Orc, the Dwarf, the Arke (almost) and the two hyumans. However, and Satou should be intelligent enough to realise this, she could not have known that the explosion of the ring would be strong enough to kill the humanoids, otherwise she wouldn’t have thrown the ring that close, because there was a good chance that she would have been killed, as well (as the other two were). Instead, she threw the ring in order to cover their escape as they dashed towards the Mist Gate. The death of the four was, as a consequence, an unfortunate accident, and she did not set out to kill them specifically when she threw the ring.

        Now, this does make her guilty of what US police would call involuntary manslaughter, but that is all that it is. The fact that she hates and fears them has no bearing on the concrete case, since it was involuntary. And of course, no Westerner (and no conemporary Japanese, specifically) would advocate death penalty for involuntary manslaughter. So why did Satou kill her? The only possibility left was not because she hated humanoids, but because *Satou* hated *her*. And, speaking as a Westerner, that is deplorable. He is the actual hate criminal and murderer.

  27. First blood! Perfect.

    I doubt a good guy like Makoto will outright hate the hyuman race, but this certainly is a good first step to war against the bug.

  28. Unless it was redone I didn’t have any trouble understanding it. Maybe it’s been too long between chapters or even from reading other things that some of you got confused?

    1. I’m a little occupied right now. I am done with exams but I still have one big project. By Wednesday I will be officially entering vacation so I can squeeze out more chapters then

  29. Reading this chapter just reminded me that no matter what, always kill enemies when you spot them. I never understand why in every story they leave them alive until they finally lose people important to them and then regret it. It’s always best to just kill your enemies, then you wont have problems in the future, even if you do, it’s just more people to kill who once gone will solve your problems again.

  30. I’m a human and honestly…. If these other races really existed in our real world…. Like draconians,high elves and dwarves….. I can’t see myself thinking that humans are supreme race….. Or hyumand what eva.

  31. what a stupid chapter.. oO There have still some inconsistent but now i’m used, and this time author give suddenly a nonsense explanation????!
    This girl said something like “free me” and suddenly “By chance we were staying in Asora at the same time as the forest ogres, so it was in a state where they didn’t pay much attention to us, and we were lodged in a place close to the dwarfs’ disposal storage. They didn’t have that much sense of danger, so we were able to steal an equipment, even if it seemed of inferior quality. We got our hands on a damaged Draupnir and when we were discovered I ran to the mist gate that we had passed through before, and was able to push aside the pursuers with the ring that I threw and exploded by chance. Just in case, I used the tool called Clay Aegis or something like that and while being the weakest three, one of us survived. By chance, there was a wave of magic power that was similar and was able to wrench open the mist gate, which I used to return to town”
    Author plz stop make fun of us!!

  32. There were worst people that MC spared though like Level S Adventurers that have become essentially Mafia Bosses and work with thieves and assassins to keep themselves in power.

    Now that MC killed someone like this, it would only be bullshit if MC decided to spare people in the future.

    This girl didn’t even know the rings would explode like this. Blame the dwarves for not telling the MC that his rings are a potential bomb in the making.

  33. Well Makoto finally did what I’ve been waiting for. He is finally getting a better understanding of the reality of that world, maybe he will stop that stupid idea of randomly “inviting” hyumans to Asora. Also, about time he takes a stance and pick a side (mamonos obviously) which will probably lead him against the heroes, or viceversa.

    Also, those thinking he lost his principles and became a dehumanized character: I don’t believe so, IN FACT these kind of things make characters feel actually human and less cartoony, while also help to develop them further and over the usual archetypes. The fact that a MC stop being a good-two-shoes pr*ck doesn’t mean he is going rotten… on the contrary, I see him as a good portrayal of a REAL human-character with flaws and all.

    Remember, HE DID IT out of his anger, and to make the death of those two meaningful.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  34. What flowed into him maybe a bit of mind control. Maybe a magic spell of the demons to turn him against the humans.

    I don’t think you need something like this to make him a real person.

  35. i wanna say.”you JUST killed ONE person,dude??why so much monologue??”…
    but if i don’t connect it with CN novel and a little humanity then it seems plausible?

    1. your comment quality is shit, lul
      for starters, you try going to the raws site and using google MTL
      i assure you it’s 2x worse
      the grammar sense is already a lot better than many other translations, it’s just evidently not by a native speaker
      your comment consists entirely of you pouring insulting labels, with no examples, and it literally does not provide any way for anyone to help you
      you haven’t bothered reading the manga, which makes the scene clearer

      so…

  36. The Author seems fixated in making the MC as realistic teenager/amateur as possible. Repressing his inner conflicts, sexual desires, Ect. Like a person in puberty..

    I hope MC learns from this. He keeps making mistakes after mistakes.

  37. These last 2 chapters Slapped Makoto/MC the face really hard.

    This kind of ‘Bad Consequence expererience’ is necessary for MC to grow into a proper leader of Asora.

    I hope he learn from this and not just ‘merry going/naively’ making decisions anymore … cz the ones who will bear the consequences isn’t him, it’s his people/Resident of Asora.

  38. “somewhere inside me still measured the hyumans of this world as the ones in my own” there’re humans on Earth that have the same mentality as that woman , isn’t the author beautify the picture of humans a bit too much?

    1. he’s a highschooler, and not particularly invested in modern politics
      as an american, I assure you that if I hadn’t gone as far as reading the entire history textbook and then watching a ton of youtube videos discussing history, I also would have a decently rosy picture of humans
      at least for me, I can entirely understand makoto’s naivete in this regard.

  39. And this moment, this exact situation will affect the history a lot, I wonder if this dosn’t had occured Makoto would be different after, thought is probably that in some point the same would happened.
