Chapter 66: Looking at the departing back

Happy New Year EVERYONE! It was a bit of a weird time to upload but I wanted to get this chapter to you today no matter what.

I made a drawing in commemoration to our new year.

Happy New Year Tsuki Ga Michibiku!.jpg

Hope you are all having a great time and will continue to do so.

This marks a new arc in a new year. Enjoy! ^^


 

“So it has been carried out. It’s been a while since we had such a busy day”

A man in the prime of his life has his hand on his prided beard and looking at a certain direction on top of a castle wall’s pathway.

This place is Tsige’s northeast department. In this land that is practically surrounded by high castle walls, only the northeast department is different.

From the northeast exit there is a wide beautifully paved path that extends forth.

The wall that protects the city is just as it is, it stretches out on both sides of these big path. That length goes on onto the horizon and one couldn’t see its end.

It is called the Golden Highway. It is the safest and highest priced path in this world. The width reaches 10 meters, but it is protected by a high wall. The highway goes from the southern tip to Tsige, from the northern extremity to the empire’s trading city, Robin City. Each nation maintains and improves it.

The lands that can use this highway to go in and out, without exception, are protected by a tall wall. There are even cities that were created in turn of this path and have evolved from it.

So that the merchants could transport large amounts of goods safely, so that important people can move safely from countries, for the sake of passing on important information that can’t be told through thought transmission as fast as possible; for various purposes, these highway is utilized.

Because the cost to use is pretty high, there are practically no pedestrians or adventurers in sight. Even if there are, it would be to protect people that are looking for even more safety than it is already provided.

Also, in various towns that work as relay points, magic formations are set, so it is made in the form that you are able to transfer one after the other in the different towns that are connected to the highway.

Raidou, who has left Tsige today, didn’t walk through the highway. He used the numerous magic formations to head to the far away Academy Town. But even from those relay points, the arrival to their destination will take long. In the direction that the prime man and the man who has his whole body clad in black look, there is no doubt that “he” is there.

“You are totally right. Even if they transit without resting, for them to reach Academy Town would take up to 3 days”

“Yeah. But wouldn’t it have been fine to at least have Lisa and the girls see him off? Even if their hair is a bit short, I don’t think Raidou-dono would mind”

“Women have their women way of thinking”

“Fumu, so it’s such a thing. And so, Morris…”

The man tries to change the topic from the male butler. His eyes were not those of someone seeing off an acquaintance, nor the eyes of a father thinking about his family.

“What is it?” (Morris)

The man called Morris must have noticed, he responds to his master somewhat stiffly.

“Tomoe-dono and Mio-dono. From your eyes, how do they look like to you?”

“In terms of physical strength, no matter which one, I would have to raise my hands in defeat. In terms of doing trades, Mio-sama would be more comfortable, but in the end, she can’t do anything that doesn’t leave a bad after taste. I think that they are ladies that match their level”

“… So that’s how it is huh. Well, the words “I know my own position as a person being lent a spot” that Tomoe said… I have no other choice but to believe in them. What about the people from Kuzunoha Company stationed at our store?”

“I have talked to them a number of times and from what I could get, the dwarfs are craftsmen. The other ones that I saw with Tomoe-sama once, from what I could see, they seemed hyuman but they had brown skin and red eyes so I think they are demi-humans. They have decorum, so it didn’t look like people who would cause trouble” (Morris)

“Does Raidou-dono not have intentions on employing hyumans?”

Rembrandt tilts his head. The followers that he has, Tomoe and Mio, are hyuman, but the other ones are all demi-humans. Taking into account their characteristics, most of them seemed to have appearances close to hyumans, but there is no hyuman employed.

“For now it seems to only be Tomoe-sama and Mio-sama. He knows various demi-human languages, so he may be taking into account the cost and ability as a priority when he is choosing. This is just an impression I got when I was talking to them but, I felt like they hated the so called discrimination” (Morris)

“Ability… and cost huh. This place is certainly dangerous, but Tsige has a principle of accepting people with ability after all. If we think like so, it is not that strange. If it were me, I wouldn’t care if they were demi-humans or whatever as long as they are proficient. Or at least that’s how I think now” (Rembrandt)

“… In time, an undesirable war might occur between the hyumans and the demi-humans but… a trend like that does exist” (Morris)

With a voice that one could feel slight grief from, Morris affirms his master’s words. If the demi-humans’ position goes up too much, it might create friction between the hyumans. He was worried about that.

“At least the Kuzunoha Company won’t become an explosive agent for now. They are still in a state where they don’t even have their own store. They won’t do anything rash. If it looks like a seed will appear, we just need to talk with Tomoe-dono and the others. It’s not like those girls won’t employ any hyumans at all” (Rembrandt)

“Yeah. Most of the adventurers will suppress their voices, so currently there shouldn’t be any problems” (Morris)

Rembrandt and Morris seemed to feel certain distress over the future of Kuzunoha Company.

“Now that I think about it, I wanted to meet the other follower that Raidou-dono said he would reunite with later. By the time he returns, I hope he brings him here” (Rembrandt)

“We tried to investigate on our side, but we couldn’t get who in the world he was. We can’t get any information of Raidou-sama either. It’s to the point that it makes me wonder if they are mushrooms that sprouted after rain” (Morris)

“… Mushrooms huh” (Rembrandt)

“Yes, with the sentiments of not knowing anything about them. Mushrooms” (Morris)

“… Well, it is a personage that would bring trouble if he tried after all. It’s not like I don’t understand how you feel. I don’t mind it if that is how the investigations turned out to be. I am having you guys do something that is hopeless after all. There was an inquiry from the castle about their registration in the guild and the level of those two…” (Rembrandt)

“!!”

The words “From the castle” that Morris’s master said, made him tense. Because if the Aion Kingdom’s attention is taken, Raidou’s movements will be limited a lot.

“No problem. Right now he is not properly moving as a merchant so, if I get anything, I will report it. Is what I told them and send them back” (Rembrandt)

“Rembrandt-sama…” (Morris)

“Don’t make that face Morris. Being in this kind of remote place makes one forget slightly that this place belongs to the country. It is not like they are doing anything to protect Tsige after all. It is obvious which side I will take between the useless bugs that only look for gold and the person that saved my family” (Rembrandt)

“… Certainly. The government officials that are brought here by the country, all of them think only about bribes. This is practically an autonomous place run by merchants. It’s just… this kind of topic is…” (Morris)

“I understand. This will stay between us. If someone got us from behind, it would be no laughing matter” (Rembrandt)

Rembrandt faces Morris and makes a childish face, like the one a kid would do when he does a prank. And Morris responds with an evil face as if punishing.

“If it comes to a point where Tomoe-sama takes my back, please leave me behind” (Morris)

He may have remembered an error of some sort, Morris shows a face of discomfort.

In the past, Morris saw Tomoe in a bookstore in town and he tried to confirm her skills so he erased his presence and approached her.

The moment he stepped into the store and thought he was at her back, her figure was suddenly nowhere to be seen. It only ended up in him being hit on his left shoulder.

Morris embarrassedly reported that to Rembrandt and he bursted in laughter. Her threat was higher than Morris ever imagined, so this was advice of not making her their enemy.

Morris clearly understood the difference of strength between him and Tomoe. In the case she and Mio, who is even higher in level than her, get serious, Morris reported to Rembrandt that his last wall of defense, Morris himself, would not be able to protect him. He is an honest person.

“… When Raidou-dono returns, he will surely be stronger than before. Today when he came to ask me about the Academy, if he were to mention about the things I don’t want to be publicized or about his followers, he could have controlled the conversation. In terms of his heart, I want him to stay as he has always been” (Rembrandt)

Learning various kinds of knowledge and studying, Raidou will surely increase his abilities as a merchant. His close aide Tomoe is also proficient. He predicts that his company may develop incredibly in the future.

Rembrandt felt grateful that he didn’t have any intentions of joining Aion and making Tsige his headquarters. Because they could stay as good partners without minding about dividing the business area.

Also, Tomoe and Mio.

This was the first time Rembrandt had seen people of 4 digits. Those two would cause quite the pressure and mental strain just thinking about confronting them. Because they could easily blow away a town if they so wanted. <Haha oh you…>

Instigating their imperial wrath would truly make that happen. In a sense, it’s scarier than taunting a dragon.

Unless you have enough courage, trying to make business with those girls would end up in one being completely swallowed by their demands.

The requests regarding the wasteland are numerous but their completion rate is bad. That should be the case and yet, since the time Tomoe and Mio arrived, the request board in the Adventurer Guild that was always increasing only, now has a tendency to decrease.

Because of their arrival, the state of Tsige has begun to slowly change.

“Was it okay to talk about the heroes? There were contents that were supposed to be secret in what you disclosed” (Morris)

“I am incredibly grateful for my wife, my daughters and Raidou-dono. They told me they want me to do as much as I can so… I don’t mind this much” (Rembrandt)

“But to disclose such information so easily would make us look like we are cheap people. Please act with a bit more prudence” (Morris)

Morris warns his master on his rash act.

“It is fine. Honestly speaking, if I am able to gain their trust with something like this, I would consider it a huge profit. Raidou-dono is my benefactor and a business partner. Above all, he is a person I can’t see limits on” (Rembrandt)

“… I overstepped my line. And also, here is a follow-up report on the hero of Gritonia” (Morris)

“Hm, let’s hear it” (Rembrandt)

“Yes. He is favorably obtaining military gains for the empire. And it also seems that he is being used in “researches” by the second princess” (Morris)

In midst of the report, the word “researches” made Rembrandt’s body stiffen.

There were previous rumors that the empire did human body experiments. But after the descent of the hero they still continued, on the contrary, this is the first time he heard that even the hero himself was being included in it.

“Gritonia might be intending to use the hero as a weapon”

“That may be the case”

“… Is the hero such a submissive one? Well, an easy to drive hero is actually something the country would be grateful for”

Existences that possess strong power normally have intense ego. It makes it troublesome to control.

“I heard that he is still a boy. Limia and Gritonia are big. Satisfying the desires of a boy and girl should be easy for them” (Morris)

“How pitiful. So they are just going to be used in the war against the demon race huh” (Rembrandt)

If they are not aware of it themselves, that would be for the better. No matter what kind of title you possess, an idiot is still an idiot huh. Rembrandt grieved.

“… Also, there were no signs of any of the heroes approaching the Academy” (Morris)

“They are the trump cards in the front lines after all. I thought about it just in case, but it seems that the Academy will not be receiving the sparks” (Rembrandt)

“Yes, the ojo-samas’ preparations to return to school have already been made, so this was a matter of worry. But it appears that their heads are currently filled with the fight that is about to occur in Stella Fort” (Morris)

“Stella Fort huh. There are a number of anecdotes about that place, it seems to be a barrier that is protected by a demon general of four arms. From what I have heard, it seems that the hero of Limia will only participate by going around helping people in this capture mission. If I remember correctly… her name is Hibiki Otonashi” (Rembrandt)

Regarding Limia’s hero, she is a person that goes around the neighboring countries and solves the problems concerning the demon race. There are people that say she is the splitting image of what a hero in stories should be. When Rembrandt heard those kind of rumors in the information investigated, the time when he received the report, he heard them half in doubt and just ignored it. Because he thinks that there is no way such a holy person of virtue would exist.

For Rembrandt, the hero that is still in the empire, who is filled with greed and lust, is an existence that is easier for him to comprehend.

“Yeah, it will be a joint front with both of the heroes. I will make moves so that we can obtain as much information as we can” (Morris)

“That would help a lot. No matter if the fight in Stella ends up in a victory or a defeat, it will decide the flow of things from now on. I want to know the conclusion as precisely as possible” (Rembrandt)

“Yes. I am looking forward to a few days from now. Who knows when the ojo-samas will get a complete recovery. We need to prepare for it” (Morris)

“By the way, what about the royal palace’s report?” (Morris)

“… It’s okay, just leave it alone. At any rate, the Stella Fort battle will utilize the consensus of all 4 major powers, so they must already know by now” (Rembrandt)

“Understood. Then I will do as you say. The preparations to return to school, to think such a day like this would come. Now that I think about it, to invite Raidou-sama to the Academy was also one of the wishes the ojo-samas did” (Morris)

“… Do you think that means they are in love with Raidou-dono?” (Rembrandt)

For a father, this made him have terrifying complex feelings. He is a benefactor, but seeing the two girls that have not been followed by any bad bugs to grow interest in a person of the opposite sex, there is no helping those feelings.

They must have remembered about him, the two, with synchronized voices, asked about his whereabouts and circumstances.

Rembrandt himself didn’t possess that much information, and he had no intentions on retaining him pointlessly.

When he said that he doesn’t know when he would leave the town because he is an adventurer, along with his wife the three of them said “Please stop him until we are able to thank him”.

The deceiving would at one point lose its effect and when he was planning on telling him, they came and pleaded Rembrandt…

To have him go to the same Academy they are going to. He thought that they were quite into it, but this is something he felt even from before, ‘isn’t this a bit too much?’

But he was originally indulgent and, on top of it, a father that dotes his family. If it’s his two daughters’ request and his wife supports it, he didn’t care about the morals and laws of this world.

He smiled and ended up consenting to it.

These were the details regarding the matriculation of Raidou into the Academy from Rembrandt’s side. Even if Raidou didn’t have any intentions of going to the Academy, he would have forced it somehow.

But for some reason, he himself came to say that he wanted to go to Academy Town. When he heard that he made a complete turn and said over and over again “There’s no way there was a problem”

“I don’t know myself. But it seems that the two of them have a no ordinary interest in him” (Morris)

“Interest huh. You are right. They didn’t change their attitude even when he showed his face after all” (Rembrandt)

(The moment he took off his mask, it may be rude but… his outward appearance was ugly, no, poorly made? No, hmm… deplorable? No, that’s not it. Ah that’s right, it had such a strong sense of individuality that it made me lose my words) (Rembrandt)

It was on a degree that if he weren’t a hyuman but a demi-human it would be in a level that wouldn’t cause surprise, so Rembrandt was already used to it.

And if the words he said about having his mask off from now on are true, he will surely pass a lot of hardships. Rembrandt felt for him. The lie of him not being able to take off his mask because of a curse so that he didn’t have to show his face was a bit undesirable for Raidou, but Rembrandt understood him.

Seeing their own appearance crumble because of the curse disease may have bended their own way of viewing the outward appearance. He remembered that his two daughters had a strong inclination to physical looks. He himself didn’t change his love to them at all when he saw them in that ghost-like appearance, so he does understand that feelings and appearance are not directly related.

‘Let’s see how the situation unfolds’, is what Rembrandt decided to go with.

(If he suddenly returns with my two daughters having a swelled stomach, I will throw the army at him. At least think of it as an opposition of sorts, Raidou-dono) (Rembrandt)

“Danna-sama, I share the same sentiments as you but I think that your thoughts are somewhat accelerated” (Morris)

Fumu, as expected of their many years of fellowship. Their thoughts get through easily. Rembrandt was wondered with Morris’ words. It was still unknown if it was because it was being transmitted or because it could be seen at plain sight though.

“I am happy that you feel the same way” (Rembrandt)

There are practically no occasions where he has left something to him and he has failed. He is truly a reassuring butler.

That’s right, there are practically no cases where he has left something to him and he has failed.

That’s why he didn’t confirm with him. He was negligent. It was a negligence that didn’t normally happen on the merchant that even has influence in Tsige.

In another day…

An error was found in the documents submitted to Rotsgard Academy. Raidou, condolences.

    1. (If he suddenly returns with my two daughters having a swelled stomach, I will throw the army at him)

      So basically he’s got nothing to worry about.

    1. the people starving on the streets (aka the hobos) still have the beauty of the top models on earth while the mc has an “average appearance”. in their world, the mc would be viewed the same as a person with an extremely deformed face in our world.

    2. He just has an extremely plain face that if compared to what the people of the world he currently resides in. it would be something like the description given by Rembrandt

    3. It’s not that he is “ugly”, people of this world are just born really beautiful (like Korean plastic surgery beautiful).

    4. I’d say a nice way of describing his relative looks would be…homely. An average guy in a world of supermodels.

      Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for all your hard work, reigokai

  1. Thanks for the chapter

    @Xander Nikko Garcia
    I believe that the MC is average looking by our world standards, but in the world he was sent to everyone there were like supermodel level beauty so his “normal/average appearance” would be quite ugly in comparison

  2. Thanks for the Chap!!
    Oh Rembrandt~~ there’s no way they can do that~? xD
    Is it the two daughters that’s on the cover of volume 6?

    PS: Happy Holidays

      1. Possibly wrong spoiler:

        I believe the two is saying ‘Teacher! (We) want to do battle ( battle in katakana)’

        And the next part seem to be Makoto inner monologue that he’s a merchant and it’s summer break?

        So the two might be trying to court the Rembrandht sisters( if that’s the girls there) but they care only for Makoto. So the two want a chance at showing their skills. Them bowing down might implies they DO respect him though.

        And there’s the mistake 😡 Makoto ends up as teacher instead of student.

      2. The rest of the text reads probably:

        Dear mother and father,
        My popularity with the students has suddenly gone through the roof, and it’s a bother…

        Also, the tall redhead is indubitably Shiki the magician.

  3. Happy New Years, boss!!!

    All right, time for the actual review. Rembrandt is worried as a father should be when it comes to his little girls, but he doesn’t have to worry with Makoto. Not because Makoto is not that kind of guy, but because there is no way that Mio and Tomoe would ever let him bed another worman. Still… his analysis of Hibiki and Tomoki are kinda accurate. Hibiki’s so-called holy reputation is hard to comprehend and Tomoki is driven by power and lust. All this makes me really want to see what’s coming up next. Thanks for the update.

    1. I believe Hibiki wouldn’t bear with ill motives of Tomoki, it’s obvious she’d confront him. Maybe even a battle’ll occur.

      1. We could only hope she kicked his ass and not fall under the spell of his Demon Eyes. Or… that he uses them and she overcomes before being molested by him and kicks his ass over it XD

    2. I think they are ok with harem route, but they’d demand they get their turns first.

      I wonder what his reaction will be if he learn Tomoe and Mio did destroy a town in their waifu level competition.

      1. As for the Harem route part, Makoto already is gaining a big harem with Tomoe, Mio, Toa, and the Rembrandt sisters. I didn’t include Rinon due to younger age and Ema due to orc-status. However, they can still be considered part of the harem depending on how you look at it. Still, I hope Hibiki joins the harem.

  4. Well, this confirms it, Rembrandt and Co. are true allies.
    So Rembrandt’s two daughters will accompany him to Academy town, going by what has been seen in this chapter. +2 to harem confirmed.

    1. …your profile pic is from a certain doujinshu that have that girl posses isn’t? I’m suprize to see you use it XD

  5. Happy new year! Sheesh, when one’s style from another world is called “ugly” when it is “normal” in our world……

  6. @XanderNikko : If it is his original world, he’s somewhat people calls “average” on looks.

    But in a world that bishies(bishoujo/bishounen) roams the land. To them, Makoto is someone that the word “ugly” can’t even subscribe or explain. More reason to annihilate insect… *cough* I mean the bug who created the biased discrimination to Demi-Human. Even though she just borrowed the world but she acts like she created it. … I wish that our MC will do the ultimate humiliation to the amoeba… *cough* I mean the bug.

    Anyhow, Thanks for the chappie~

      1. Makoto is too immature to be an overseer. He would be betraying the laid back Japanese Earth god he is friends with if he actually was capable of ruling the world and had such an ambitious personality

  7. Finally, finally the new arc and it looks truly interesting.

    So the appearance of Makoto’s an individual one, huh? It seems hyumans’re so ideal that lack individuality. It makes one to remember Tsukiyomi’s words about them being made into a ‘defective’ race by the Goddess.

    And well, what a surprise awaits us? Maybe our hero got his gender written wrong? xD

  8. Soo what the fuck happened in this chapter? I only chimed in on the daughters, author need to stop this force feeding of non-mc information. With two chapters for our so called hero’s and no this, I can only remember so much when tl-san decides to take a break.

    1. -A long path that connects almost all big cities, Makoto using that to get faster to Academy Town.
      -Rembrandt and Morris talking about the future prospects and difficulties of Kuzunoha Company.
      -Talk about the heroes and how accurate and in depth the information is, hinting that Rembrandt is quite the force.
      -Rembrandt choosing MC over the empire. Showing he is a true bro.
      -Rembrandt’s daughters wanting MC to go to Academy Town, showing the reason why Rembrandt already had all documents ready when MC asked he wanted to go.
      -Rembrandt worried about MC and his daughters’ relationship.
      -Showing that whole family didn’t care about Makoto’s appearance.
      -An error occurred in the papers send to Rotsgard Academy, probably regarding MC.

      1. There’s another one extremely important detail. Morris learned about princess doing experiments on hero’s body. THAT princess in THAT Empire who mercilessly kills all her accomplices and even with that she couldn’t prevent the info leaking. Just who the hell is Morris?

      2. Morris : Rembrandt Super Butler on level Sebastian except his Immortality and combat power :v
        so since Rembrandt co can be said not only great merchant but freaking powerful noble eh or just powerful merchant who have a tie with Aion kingdom higher up since he mention about report to them

  9. I feel like Rembrandt opened a can of worms about Tomoki’s situation. How does Rembrandt know about the second princess using Tomoki as a human experiment? The obvious answer is that they have internal spies that do their job, but this means that the second princess’ city’s politicians should also be able to easily figure out what the **** she has been doing, too.

    1. Rembrandt has spies everywhere, even Makoto doesn’t know this. That’s why Makoto is lucky to have Rembrandt on his side. However if Rembrandt really wanted it, he could manipulate Makoto into doing what he wants him to. However, Rembrandt respects Makoto, so he’s helping him. Basically saying, Rembrandt made a smart choice.

      1. You are over exaggerating Rembrandt’s abilities.

        His wives and daughters were about to die from their curse despite him using all his power to try to save them.

        They didn’t even know that adventurers in town made a group decision to ignore his requests despite you claiming Rembrandt is oh so powerful and knowledgeable.

        Sorry but Makoto would just crush Rembrandt if he tried anything funny.

        He can’t manipulate shit.

  10. Thanks for the chapter and happy new year!
    Rembrandt thinks that his daughters will be pregnant, when they come back they will have babies already and 20 other people with them that also pregnant because of the MC. Or not. Knowing the MC the possibility is 0, but hey I can dream.

    1. As long as Tomoki does what he’s told, the bug doesn’t care about what else he does. She was mainly seeking out “Heroes” for looks, hence why she refused Makoto because he was below average in that department. Even with a goddess… I meant bug, vanity is a sin.

  11. lolz that ending
    also, ‘i’ll throw the army at him’, that sentence might aswel be “i’ll throw an old rag at him”, because it’ll have the same effect

    thanks for the chapter

    1. Rembrandt is only being a father here. And what do rich fathers do in anime and manga when someone knocks up their little girl? Literally send a whole army to attack the guy who did it.

    2. I’m pretty sure Rembrandt understands it won’t do much. But if your two precious daughters get knocked up by some guy while still in school, you can’t just let it go.
      A matter of principle.

  13. Who is REALLY Morris? Somehow he got the info of the princess’ “research” on the hero when she has been killing her accomplices all this time… Is he a demon with clairvoyance maybe? So mysterious…
    BTW, I really want Waka and the demons to meet up… wonder what would Makoto do if he knows their goal is to kill the bug goddess… And Demon Lord is definitely a girl right? 😉

  14. Personally, I have a scar fetish XD Poor, deformed Raidou…. XD

    Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!

    Also… what was the error and how funny will it be???? XD XD XD

  15. the wait for the next chapter is killing me…….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Thank you for the translation!

  16. If Makoto ever gets glasses again…. h
    He will be on par with the hyumans in terms of looks. I mean Makoto is OP as hell and cool-looking if he has his glasses on.

    1. There must be glasses in bug’s world. Makoto need to find one that fits him. One with magical powers of course..

      What kind of power I wonder?

  17. A new chapter! What a great time to live.
    Thank so much Rei…

    and Happy New Year!
    ヽ( ̄(エ) ̄)ノ

    2015 has not been kind to me, with lots of painful memories and even 2016 started straight out badly. I’m so sick..
    Now only few things I look forward to; your translations is one of it.

    Keep it up. I wish you all the best, a long life and great future ahead of you.
    I’ll cheer for you, even from the other side.

  18. sooo that Rembrandt guy is actually a good guy…and it seems that whatever that second princess planing, all the big shots already aware of it huh..

    1. He isn’t actually a good guy. He couldn’t care if lower ranked adventurers would end up starving to death as long as his business profits.

      That’s why he had such bad relations with the adventurers in town in the first place and why the request to gather ingredients for his wife ended up at a dead end because all the adventurers just ignored the requests he put on the guild.

      1. There is nothing wrong with what he did. If those adventurers are so weak that can’t do any jobs aside plant gathering and transporting things then they shouldn’t be at that town which is near the wasteland.
        They should just switch occupation or go to a safer place to work as adventurers.
        You are talking about him like he had scammed and exploited those adventurers (like the ones in the “First Town”).

  19. Hello, just a mention: 三日程 みっかほど translates to “about three days” or “up to three days”, not three weeks.

    1. Hey you got Tsuyomiki mention: “I hope meets once again when you are reborn”? Maybe he will get super bishouji after all^

  20. “oops.” lol

    I like this part:
    “(If he suddenly returns with my two daughters having a swelled stomach, I will throw the army at him. At least think of it as an opposition of sorts, Raidou-dono) (Rembrandt)”
    He knows the army can’t do anything to him (even if only because of Tomoe and Mio) but he’s resolved to throw them at him anyway to show his anger. I don’t know why, but I like this Rembrandt guy more for this.

  21. “(The moment he took off his mask, it may be rude but… his outward appearance was ugly, no, poorly made? No, hmm… deplorable? No, that’s not it. Ah that’s right, it had such a strong sense of individuality that it made me lose my words) (Rembrandt)”

    well~ there goes a hint about the world and the goddess, biggest one i so yet

  22. I’m glad that there are decent hyumans too in that world who don’t discriminate by race or appearance.

    How good is their spy network if they were able to discover that the Empire is doing experiments with the hero? Or there were other experiments they did to Tomoki which he knows about aside the ones the princess secretly does?

    Makoto has average looks in our world but there he is considered ugly. Since every other hyuman there is a first class beauty poor Makoto is literally the ugliest human/hyuman in the world. Add to that the bad influence of that bug goddess and now its understandable why they might look at him like that.

    Thanks for the chapters!

  23. “In terms of doing trades, Mio-sama would be more comfortable, but in the end, she can’t do anything that doesn’t leave a bad after taste. I think that they are ladies that match their level””

    Ignoring most of the grammar and spelling errors I comment on this one because I am truly not sure what this is saying.
    If taken at face value, he is saying everything Mio does leaves a bad taste in the mouth (it is a pointless double negative after all)
    But from context, I am not sure. Especially the proceeding sentence suggests this was a grammar error.

  24. Thanks for thr chapter. Rembrandt is more loyal than i tought he would be and it doesn’t look like a descriminate toward non humans. Yep indeed a good ally for the futur unless Makoto does the deed with his daugthers. xD
