Translator: Hello guys!
I think my warning came off a bit wrong? Don’t worry, I wasn’t angry or anything. I just wanted to warn the people, who probably didn’t know, that those type of talks actually do affect me.
Btw, this doesn’t count the opinions about the story in itself, points of views are varied and I don’t mind them giving it out. It’s just the dropping part I can’t handle well. Just that one part, there’s absolutely no need to say it.
I know those are the minority and I love this community, so there’s no way I would leave because of that reason, of that I can assure you.
All forms of cheering came to me, I was actually quite surprised. Thank you very much to everyone that did so! It made me really happy. It reminded me of how worth it was to take up translation! ^^
“Excuse me”
A clear voice resounds in the guest area that is being controlled by bewilderment.
There’s a carpet spread out and seats lined up. A room that divides it from the general seats.
So this is the guest seats huh.
Tomoe’s voice resounds well. It probably gathered the attention of all the countries’ big-shots onto her.
There were some gazes my way too though.
“Who are you guys?! Don’t you know that this area is off limits?!”
A face that I have seen in portraits shouts at us.
Ah, this guy is the academy’s principal.
I never know where he was, and of course, I have never met him before, so I couldn’t tell it was him immediately.
“Please do forgive us in this emergency situation. It seems you guests haven’t evacuated to a safe place, so it may be out of our way, but we thought we should lend our assistance” (Tomoe)
Tomoe didn’t show any sign of being angered and tells the academy principal her business.
At that moment, I noticed that there was a girl that send her gaze to Tomoe.
From what I can tell, she looks like a girl with social status.
She looks young, so maybe the next generation head of some noble family? Or maybe a princess of somewhere?
N, princess?
I feel like Tomoe might know something…
…
Could it be, this woman is the Gritonia Empire’s princess, Lily?
If it’s really, then she is quite the big-shot.
But it seems she is traveling with the hero, so it would be strange for her to be here.
There’s the chance that she is not her huh.
I felt like there was a familiar gaze on me and when I turned to check who it was, I see a silver haired young man leaning his back on a wall with arms crossed.
Don’t know what’s so fun, but he is smiling, and he unfastens his arms and waves his hand at me.
Its pervert Root.
Right, he was here as well.
Damn it.
Then there was no need to come here to help them?
If he comes talking to me about strange things, it would not be good for me or my company.
But it seems Root doesn’t intend to move into action. He crosses his arms again, his wide smile returns to a slight smile, and he silently looks at Tomoe again.
I don’t get him.
Is he not worried about the Adventurer Guild?
I do think that that place is also facing danger though?
“First of all, introduce yourself! I don’t know about you”
“Sorry for my lack of manners. I am Tomoe, one of Kuzunoha Company’s employees, Academy Principal. And this person here is my master Raidou. He has an impairment that doesn’t allow him to speak, so I, his follower, am the one who has to introduce him. Please do understand” (Tomoe)
“Tomoe and Raidou huh”
[Pleasure to meet you Academy Principal. I am a temporary teacher working here, Raidou. I considered this an emergency situation so I thought I would help out and so I have come here. Please forgive our rudeness]
“Written communication. I see, it is you. I do remember there’s a temporary teacher named Raidou”
It seems he at least knows that I use written communication, and I also show a plate which serves as a certificate that proves I am a temporary teacher.
Looking at me, the written communication, and the proof; the tone of the Academy Principal softened.
“I am glad you have understood” (Tomoe)
“You said assistance, but what kind of assistance do you intent to provide? In this situation where we only know that there are monsters in town, there’s no way you can guide us to a safe place you know?”
“Academy Principal, you know of several places that are safe right?” (Tomoe)
“Of course, we have already secured a place in times of emergencies. Relaying composed orders and sorting information in a dangerous place is something I would want to avoid”
“Then if you tell us of that place, I will use teleport magic to send everyone there” (Tomoe)
“… Teleport? Teleport you say?! This amount of people, in a place the magic user hasn’t gone to before?! Impossible. I have never heard of a spell like that!”
For a second, the Academy Principal lets out a dumbfounded voice, but he soon understood the content and splendidly rejected Tomoe’s plan.
There are times I do think we leisurely use thought transmission and teleportation too much.
The teleporting technique is originally an advanced spell and not something one can leisurely use, and in thought transmission there’s the thing about distance and tapping, and it is user-friendly, so it is used in the general populace, but the one we use is practically a completely different thing.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to compare the transmission quality to a bad-performance transceiver and a satellite telephone.
“But you know, it is actually possible. Well, it certainly can’t be helped that this is being suspected as a trap. Fumu…” (Tomoe)
That’s why it is troublesome to explain this complicated teleportation though.
Tomoe doesn’t really look like she is troubled.
Maybe she has a method to convince them.
The only thing I thought of is having one person test it to show it works.
Well, having that one person cooperate will be the troublesome part though.
They are all big-shots after all.
Is there anyone I know that can help out?
Uhm, excluding the pervert…
“Ahahaha! What an interesting person, Academy Principal. Truly interesting. It’s true that I have never heard of such an excelling magician with such a teleport spell” (Root)
“Falz-dono”
“Person called Tomoe, how about trying it out on me first. Right, can you teleport me to the guest seats around that part there? It is fine if I just picture it in my mind right?” (Root)
Root.
Acting as if he has never met her before, he volunteered as a test subject.
Tomoe probably knew this would happen, she didn’t look shaken at all.
Well, even if he is like that, he is still the Adventurer Guild’s Master.
He must have a decent amount of trust.
“Your name is Falz-dono right? Then, please enter inside this mist” (Tomoe)
“Heh~, the other side also has mist appearing huh. Well then, let’s try it out and see if such a convenient spell actually exists” (Root)
In the place where Root pointed out with his finger, there’s also mist appearing. And while still playing the fool, he disappears into the mist, and at the next instant, he comes out from the place he pointed out.
He then turns his head towards the guest seats and waves his hand.
Tomoe glanced at the princess(?) who has her hands on her mouth and her eyes wide open.
Looks like she is quite surprised.
Root walks through the mist on that side and returned.
“Amazing, that’s quite a significant feat! This is the first time I have seen such a great spell! From what I see, that was a power created from the sword hanging at your waist, right?” (Root)
What kind of crazy thing is he saying?
What Tomoe used was teleportation.
It comes normally from herself.
He should also know about the application of our space teleportation.
I really don’t know what he is thinking.
“You got me. Falz-dono has quite the scary eyes there. That’s right, this is the special power of this sword. No need for aria and it allows for a point to point teleportation” (Tomoe)
… Hm?
Tomoe is following?
But unrelated to my confusion, Tomoe and Root were looking at each other and grinned slightly.
Why?
Of course, everyone’s gaze gathered at Tomoe’s sword simultaneously.
To the shorter katana that she pointed out.
Oh.
I notice that there are other faces I know.
The priest and Lorel’s… Sairitz-san, was it?
So they also came to spectate the tournament.
There were several more important-looking people than priest-san at his side, so it took me some time to notice him.
The priest-san is one of the highest positions in the Rotsgard church, so that means, the people there are even higher than that. They might even be from the main church of Limia.
I took time to notice the Lorel people simple because they were at a corner.
Sairitz-san is there too, but there are also many others there as well.
Most of them have darkish skin.
Are the people there mostly of that skin color?
Maybe she noticed my gaze, Sairitz-san made a smile for a second.
She soon returned her interest to Tomoe’s sword though.
“I can’t believe it”
The Academy Principal was at a complete loss for words.
Teleportation in itself is an extremely advanced technique, and just the fact of being able to use it, you would be admired.
That’s why, in order to make this advanced technique as easy to do as possible, they recreate the teleport formation accurately, and there’s also support formations that reduce the burden.
And to be told that this action can be done with the power of a sword, moreover, allowing you to teleport to a specific location; there’s no surprise that they wouldn’t believe it.
Well, for the common sense of this academy, it is something they wouldn’t even think it exists.
And this is also proof that this is not something common.
The influential people that come from several countries are all concentrating their eyes on that sword.
Hope this doesn’t become a new spark.
“How is it, everyone? Since they went through the trouble of coming to help us, how about relying on them?” (Root)
Root looks at everyone and proposes this idea.
It seems he will incite them for us.
I don’t know if this guy is an enemy or an ally, but it seems that in this moment at least, he will act as our ally.
“… Right. It is just as Falz-dono said. Raidou-dono, I thank you for your courageous action, and I promise I will definitely repay you for it. On the name of Gritonia Empire’s Lily. What about the others?” (Lily)
Gritonia’s Lily.
So she really is the princess.
She even came for the school festival, impressive.
Maybe she also attended this academy?
I feel like she glanced at Tomoe for an instant, but I don’t know her intentions.
From what I have heard of Tomoe, they don’t have that deep of a connection and just parted at that point in time.
With Lily’s words as the impetus, several ‘me too’ ‘me too’ were raised and more people decide take our helping hand.
People are willing to.
The people related to the Church, the Lorel Union, and also the nobles that seem to be from Aion. The Academy principal, who is being shouldered by a woman that looks like his secretary, also agreed with it.
Or more like, old man, why did your legs weaken to the point of needing someone to lend you a shoulder?
Isn’t that sexual harassment?
“The people there as well, please decide quickly” (Tomoe)
Tomoe hurries the remaining 5, but they didn’t show signs of moving.
What’s going on?
I don’t think there’s significance for a guest to be staying here though.
“… This one is fine here. I have the duty to overlook this”
This one? <余. A super formal way of saying ‘I’>
Is he a king?
Duty to overlook he says. He is looking at the stage.
The fight between the students and the monster huh.
“Father, that is…”
“You all, return”
“King, we can’t do that. The one standing on that stage is my child after all”
… That’s the Limia group.
Ilumgand’s father, the Limia King, and he said ‘father’ so maybe the prince?
Judging from the bearings of the remaining 2, they are probably knights.
So they are a totally related party huh.
What to do?
I think the best choice would be to shelter the other people first.
“Waka, I will be bringing the people here to the safe place that the Academy Principal is thinking of” (Tomoe)
I was about to give the orders to Tomoe and looked at her, but she was one step ahead of me.
Of course, that’s what I wanted her to do, so I nod.
A mist a lot bigger than the one Root crossed appears.
It looks like haze, but it has a thickness that makes you unable to see the other side.
It does make one think that this is a product of magic.
“Well then, I will place this katana under Waka’s care. I leave the matters here to you” (Tomoe)
“?!”
Oi.
What do you plan by leaving me the short katana?
I instinctively take the short sword that was given to me and look at Tomoe.
With a suggestive smile, she disappears into the mist.
Damn it.
Uhm, so I should convince the others from Limia?
But I don’t know the etiquette when talking to a king.
… Should I apologize first before going for the persuasion?
[This is the first time I have met with a person as great as you king, so I might come off as rude. Please do forgive me if that happens]
“You said your name was Raidou, right? Your written communication is skillful. And your magic should be as well” (King)
[Yes. I can’t speak common language, so I am using written communication in this way. Once again, I am the one in charge of Kuzunoha Company, Raidou]
“I know” (King)
[Hm? Do you mean, you know about my store as well?]
Why does someone like the Limia King have information of a small store in Rotsgard like mine?
“Right, Hopelace?” (King)
“?!!”
“If I remember correctly, the company that you were investigating about was the Kuzunoha Company, and about a temporary teacher named Raidou, right?” (King)
“This is a fact we have already confirmed, Hopelace-dono” (Prince)
What?
It seems there’s a completely different development going on now.
The thin person that’s probably the prince complements the words of the king and shoots them at Hopelace.
I see, Hopelace.
That means the various things Ilumgand did have already been exposed huh.
“I want an explanation Hopelace. Regarding your second son, Ilumgand, that has transformed, and about the calamity that’s occurring in the whole Academy Town” (King)
“… King, it is true that I listened to my son’s request and investigated about this teacher. I have also used money to bend the rules in this tournament. However, this situation was definitely not carried out by me. Ilumgand is my son, and he is an important son that might become the head of the family in this warring times. To turn him into that kind of… that kind of monster to plot something, I would never do it!!”
“… Then, why did Ilumgand take an interest in Raidou?” (King)
“… I don’t know. I really don’t know anything!”
I actually wanted to know that too.
Why was I hated so much to the point of being investigated and being declared war?
I only covered for Ruria. Is that something he would get so tenacious about?
Or was he the type that can’t tolerate disgrace?
I am not a noble, so it is hard for me to completely understand their thought patterns.
The Hopelace head repeats his apology to the king over and over again.
“I will hear about it in detail after we have gotten through this situation and return to our country. But the shame you have made us bear on the many nations, won’t come cheap” (King)
“Uh…”
“And so, Raidou, you are a merchant right? And a temporary teacher in this academy that teaches practical skills. Are the students fighting there your students?” (King)
[Yes, there’s no mistake. Those are the students taking my class. Just that, they haven’t been attending it for that long of a time]
“Hoh~. How long has it been?” (King)
[Less than half a year]
“Half a year… were those kids that strong since then?” (King)
[No. I began my business in Tsige, so I have seen the fighting style of the adventurers there. I taught them a part of it, and it seems it fit them well, they have been increasing their skills]
So the Limia King has also taken an interest in them huh.
Still facing the stage, he continues our conversation.
“Tsige huh. Certainly. The adventurers hero-dono brought from there had a fighting style similar to this one. It seems it is not a lie” (King)
Adventurers from Tsige in Limia?
Heh~
In that case, the current Limia has quite the high leveled adventurers there.
If the people that the hero recruited were people with the skills to enter and leave the wasteland at will, they will become quite the war potential for Limia.
Hero.
I didn’t enquire any specifics, but she came to a remote place like Tsige huh.
Thinking about it in a logical manner, the reason she went there would be for training, maybe?
[King-sama, please come with me to a safe place. There’s no assurance that this place won’t be attacked by other enemies]
“If I have the teacher of those splendid students at my side, I don’t have much to worry about. By the way, Raidou, you can use that sword?” (King)
The Limia King looks at the short katana I hold.
The made-up story about being able to use teleportation with it huh.
Tomoe, it is turning into something troublesome you know?
[Yes, I can. If it’s me or Tomoe who was here a while ago, it can be used]
“Then can you bring me to that place? If Ilumgand sees me and his father, he might return to his senses” (King)
“King, that’s not good. It’s way too dangerous” (Prince)
“A noble of Limia is causing damage to the Academy. I have to provide my assistance to control this situation as well, or I won’t be able to stand upright. Isn’t that right, Hopelace?” (King)
Rejecting the words of the prince, the King looks at Hopelace.
He reacts with a jolt, and makes a small nod.
He probably doesn’t want to face his transformed son.
“Of course, placing oneself in danger is not assistance, but showing that you are willing to is necessary sometimes. If the ones who have to do so are me and Hopelace, then it can’t be helped. A quite blunt and unnatural thing to do, if I do say so myself” (King)
“… Raidou-dono, can you teleport us over there?” (Prince)
It seems the prince folded.
Well, I don’t really mind though.
Then, I will be acting as the bodyguard of this people for a while?
[It is possible. Well then, all five, is it okay to teleport you around that seat over there?]
Saying so, I point to an estimated area.
The prince nods.
The knights stay silent.
Probably means that they will just silently obey. It must be tough for them as well.
Well, if they carry this out safely, they should gain big points for it.
At that place there’s Shiki and Mio.
I put up the short katana.
Gotta show the act at the very least.
I create mist that is not that different from the one Tomoe made.
Mist is created at the pointed out place as well.
Preparations complete.
“I will definitely repay you, Raidou” (King)
The Limia King talks to me.
It would be weird to part from my katana at this moment, so I just lower my head.
In my left hand I have the scabbard and in my right the katana. It was pretty unshapely.
Knight, Hopelace, Prince, and then the King; in order, they disappear inside the mist.

Thanks 4 the chapter!
A little slow on the uptake there Makoto.
im glad that you actually not as mad as i imagine. anyway, i still hoping for some carnage chapter. but it seems like makoto choose diplomatic solution instead
I... totally forgot about Root O_O)a
Look Makoto, there is one side that will support you and won't betray you... you just have to risk your chastity :p
Thank you for the translations ^0^
That feels like a betrayal in another sense, I think. >_>
The Cliffhanger-san! Damnation!
Thanks for the chapter.
THX from colombia you are the best :D
thanks for the chap!!
hmm... the story is not satisfying yet.. moar~ please, but it maybe another story part again.. well i dont care, MORE!!
Saving people, getting recognition, and putting people in your debt. He's moving pretty well.
was wondering why it was 138, turns out I missed a chapter. Oh well, reading it, it was pretty much empty, another filler. Anyway.
So in summary, Makoto thought of gaining favor from the VIP personages by lending them a hand?
I thought it was good. He even brought Tomoe this time. Excellent.
except...
other than that and bringing Tomoe, Makoto didn't have a plan after the introructions. I thought he at least discussed with Tomoe how they'll play it out after arriving in the room. But nooo. He was just standing there clueless like an idiot at what Root and Tomoe just started.
Did Makoto seriously think; "Oh hey~ my companion here (and me) can use chantless Teleportation magic to get your sorry little butts to safety!<3 *teehee pero~*"
I thought he would catch on after a while but, turns out he was left out of the loop. As usual.
Also, misguiding their interest onto the short katana making them think it is the "mechanism" or tool instead of them, was a brilliant move. As expected of Root and Tomoe. It could be used as the excuse when people press about their teleportation methods as asked by the merchant representative earlier, at least it would hold some ground, credibility, since they showed it to the King and such. If he still wants to continue operating in Rotsgard that is.
Also, it only confirmed even more my assumption that not everything is reported to Makoto after his talk with the King. Setting aside Tomoe and Lily's meeting it was already made clear Tomoe cut corners in her report with the excuse of "better see with his own eyes" bullshit. What i'm concern about is with Mio and the staff incharge of reporting in Tsige branch. Why did he not know a Hero patroned his shop? recruited adventurers under the tutelage of his underlings? It involves both his shop and personnel, it would make sense if Hibiki did not reveal her status as Hero but, she did. It was said to Mio, but you can pretty much assume that she used her title to recruit adventurers ad well. So such a person bein in Tsige should have reached Makoto's ears, from either Mio or the staff incharge there.
it seems I digressed slightly again. Anyway, there's just too much Makoto is lacking, it's not that I am overestimating him this time but, Makoto could have at least thought of how they were going to conduct this good-will act before reaching the VIP room. Which he failed to do, and again, left it all to his all-reliable companion. Which makes all the self-reflecting, self-loathing, self-depreciating, and how he will properly conduct his action from then on, these past five chapters including now was all left for naught.
I really thought he grew a bit though, apparently it was my delusion as his mind was only able to think of gaining favors, of how it was going to be conducted however... was beyond him. Oh well, at least he finally knows who is who. Now if only the King and co. would discuss what led Illumgand in such a state next chapter. It would be a nice change of pace, and will actually move on the story now.
then again, my complaints aside, this episode is definitely a lot more interesting than the last few filler chapters had been since the Team battles ended.
.
.
.
Cheers for the great work.
i dont expect Makoto to become some kind of intellectual over think guy since theres shiki and tomoe and mio(since she only thinks whats best for makoto and only him) as well.
The one thing i want to see is for him is to snap, since hes such a diligent guy it might never happen
the only time he snap i guess is where he fought mio. About the mitsurugi and dragon killer, think he never rage there as well
Well, it was only pertaining to his idea of owing favors by doing good-will. He doesn't really need to be intellectual or smart, or cunning to figure out what would happen if those important figures ever learn that there is/are individuals who can use TP conveniently. It was only recently that Makoto got owned by the representative afteall. He was expecting Tomoe to say she possess the ability instead of a tool. One can only imagine what happens next.
Also, there is only one time that Makoto snapped. When he naively brought injured adventurers inside Asora(real), and got an Arke and mini-Tomoe v1 killed.
The orc Elder and miniTomoe died, he saved the Arke by layering healing sekai on healing sekai.
He obviously had a plan when he headed over to the guests seats, but he can't speak common so he had Tomoe get their attention. Then while he was, probably, getting his thoughts together to form into the letters to explain what he was planning, Tomoe did what she has done many times before, made some assumtions and procceeded to impliment her ideas before Makoto could stop her.
The inability to speak when you understand the conversation is a HUGE detriment is a lot of ways. The fact that Tomoe has such a strong presence that everyone focuses on her instead doesn't help matters either, before Makoto can put any kind of plan into action he has to get their attention and take the time to form the letters for them to read. Meanwhile Tomoe just needs a couple seconds to explain what her idea is, and since all the attention was on her anyways..
Beautiful woman with a strong presence from level and magic power VS ugly male with no detectable magic power. Which one is likely to be able to implement their ideas first when dealing with royalty.
@IamMe
Oh right, the Arke was saved after that. Anyway.
You say that it is a "huge detriment" that Makoto was unable to converse verbaly and thus will have to wait for him to write. Correct?
You know. That is precisely what I am pointing at. He brought Tomoe along not as an escort but as the "speaker" in his stead. Now, you may argue that it wasn't stated that it was her assigned role per se, but, thinking about it, Makoto most likely intended Tomoe to be the one to engage in negotiation simply because he knew he lacked the ability. I mean, he wouldn't bring her along for the sole purpose of performing the mist gate or brag her prowess, right?
What I don't understand is why the both of them could not discuss it before hand, I mean, they had to walk a few minutes in order to reach the VIP room right? if they will reveal they themselves can use tp magic, or to pretend it's from a tool.
Let's go with what you said. That Tomoe was assuming the intentions of Makoto and started off on her own accord. Are you suggesting Tomoe figured it on her own that Makoto intended to loan good-will, by using the mist gate, all on her own without the need for Makoto to tell her his intentions? I know Tomoe is capable but, she's a mind reader now?(I know she can read minds, okay. He forbidded it.) There was just a lack of coordination between the two, if going by what you said, since Tomoe was constantly taking the lead like you said. Which is to me, unlikely. Makoto has been using written communication for a long time now and even mentioned he is used to it, so it really isn't a hindrance when he is conversing. He was clearly leaving it to Tomoe intentionaly.
NO NO NO. Hibiki NEVER revealed that was a hero while I'm Tsige,and she SPECIFICALLY backed down from telling Mio such before their parting. Re read the chapter, but she kept it secret until the end and Mio still thinks of her as nothing but an inexperienced adventurer with cooking knowledge.
Really? i'll look it up later. Also. It wasn't mentioned but, the adventurers recruited afterwards oughta have known, right? I dunno who those are but they were under the guidance of Kuzunoha and would've at least asked for permission first, right? Makoto wasn't even aware of them leaving.
But in any case, Makoto didn't even wonder who the person is that taught Mio some basic Japanese recipes, accepting it all as teachings from the natives of this current world. Then again, this issue isn't really much of interest.
I could have sworn Mio figured it out. I thought I remembered some part about her figuring it out and forcing that wolf (or whatever monster it was the attacked Mio at the beach) to not tell Hibiki she was the spider they fought.
@ masukure
Yep, that's what I know too. Mio is actually not dimwitted, or dense. It just doesn't interest her.
Ah but this time I said "Hibiki" told Mio, so I'm probably wrong there.
Hibiki intentionally hid the fact that she was the Hero. The adventurers that followed her did not need to have any particular connection to Kuzunoha, the city had a fair number of high level adventurers that had learned under Tomoes leadership. All Hibiki really had to tell them that she is going to join the war effort and they would follow her because they want to help in the fight against the demons and because of Hibiki's augmented charisma. They would have learned that she was the Hero when they reached Limia though.
The wolf familiars presence would not have told Mio anything about Hibiki other then the fact that they had fought before. To the hunger crazed Mio they were just another group of stronger then average fighters that she came across that happened to have an unusual pet. It's not like you would be yelling out about someone being the Hero of Limia in the middle of a life and death battle with a monster. Mio also would not have cared where she got the knowledge of cooking and could accept the lie that it was from books readily. Mio seems to care more about the end result then the process that led to it. We have also found out that there is a country that has been collecting the otherworld visitors and its possible that cooking is one of the things they learned, there could be books with the method of cooking Japanese meals out there.
Tsige is also a city that is closest to the wasteland, anyone that wants to gain level in the wasteland would probably pass through it. This would lead to people from all over making it a base and finding people with unusual knowledge would not be too hard.
Makoto is not a smart guy in the 1st place... he is still inexperienced so he doesnt think far ahead such as how to gain the vip trust...
Thats why we have mio, shiki and tomoe since they are older, smarter, and wiser than makoto... their role is to guide makoto to the right path while honoring his wishes
The good thing is makoto know his limit, thats why in some cases he leave some job to his subordinate...
Mind you! He never wishes to become asora's leader, the people of asora wishes him to become one
So stop comparing him to shiba tatsuya, or lelouch vi brittania
Who is comparing to who... Sheesh.
In case you didn't understand clearly, which apparently you didn't.
It was only about the -- how they will play out the "good-will" act they will extend to the VIP guests. In which, Makoto was left confused of how it was handled by Tomoe and Root, leaving him confused and beffudled early inthe game. When it was his idea to begin with.
All hail brittania!
It can't be help that they cut corners, those 3 guys only think of these things are too minor for waka to deal with. and that leads to current illumugand problem. They think those problems are minor and not needed to tell makoto then those small things piled up and became big. Makoto did not question them so it kind of expected if things go unexpected.
As for the katana, to me it is a bad idea.True it can hide their true ability but then it will also bring violence upon them. A katana that can teleport you to any location even if you never visit them will bring envy to others and did not totally solve anything and they will think there are other weapons that are as capable as the weapon in Kuzunoha, Merchants will send thief burglars or maybe demand them to share who create or where he found the items.
If he said he discover the spell and only kuzunoha know how to use them, even if they want take it by force they can defeat anyone or refuse those who are coming to learn the spell.
Most of the problem is because of his retainers think when time comes, makoto can solve everything as he has the power to face it.
It wasn't about Illumgand.
Anyway, about the short Katana, it was mentioned that it is endowed with a "restriction" that only the Owner, Makoto and Eldwas, who is able to activate it. Think of it as a sort of "bind" type of equipment, as was shown when Trashmoki held Tomoe's personal Katana. It won't activate nor will unsheathe from it's scabbard.
They could treat it as a one of a kind heirloom, or a unique drop/loot from a treasure chest in a labyrith or ruin somewhere deep in the wasteland, since it is basically unexplored anyway. Even if it gets stolen and unsheated, they could simply go with an excuse of, "you have no authority to ativate it's effect.", or something. It is a "one of a kind!" so it eliminates the prospect of it having others. Atleastthat's how i'd play it if inquired by the King.
yes they can do that but still can get dirty, I think root make it that way because it is entertaining, how they will overcome the people who after their artifact. If it is only them can use, it doesn't mean that they can't crack it so it is still give hope for them to get their hand on the katana..
The ilmugand is clearly the kuzunoha fault, they prevent ilmugand to make contact with rukia that make it like this. They did not even tell makoto about ilmugand attempt to contact rukia (ruka?) hence the merchant guild issue and also the rules bend in the tournament.
My my... i wonder if that princess took the bait on what root said completely since she knows tomoe's a dragon..
well maybe, cos lily still doesnt know tomoes skills after all
