Chapter 147: Last night’s fireworks

The Academy had turned into a slight commotion.

The reason is of course, the sudden appearance of an icy work of art.

Tomoe said she was going to look at Root’s state, so I had Mio and Shiki go as well and had them buy some time.

If we carefreely reunite in the midst of the commotion, I think that’s good enough.

To ask the reason of why Akua and Eris used the spell, I infiltrated into the Student Dormitory.

I can tell that the students are panicking.

But well, it is a spell that doesn’t harm anyone inside.

Even when meeting them it would be bothersome, but I used thought transmission to contact Eris, confirmed their current location, and went to meet them as soon as I knew.

“And, why did you go to such lengths to use this spell to isolate the place?’ (Makoto)

“Waka, that’s cheating…” (Eris)

Even though I first went through the trouble of congratulating them for their hard work, there’s one girl that seems to be done for. Eris had her knees curled up sitting down and rubbing the roof with her index finger.

She didn’t show any signs of answering my question and was looking at me bitterly.

“W-Waka-sama, I have thought about this before but, how in the world did you enter here?” (Akua)

With a deeply exhausted expression, Akua showed even more mental fatigue and surprise.

In contrast to Eris, Akua had a beautiful upright posture as if a ruler was placed at her back.

After going through the camp training, her personality had turned quite diligent, and it may be hard for her to make follow-ups for Eris.

Maybe I should have one more person accompanying them to make it a group of three.

If that person has to group up with these two, it might be pretty hard to select the appropriate person.

The standplay of this combi is pretty intense, so even when they are among Forest Onis, these two stand out.

How troubling.

“The way I entered? In that case, Eris probably already noticed. There’s still some time till she recovers, so can I ask something Akua?” (Makoto)

“Y-Yes, what is it?” (Akua)

“If you used this in the Student Dormitory, why are you both inside?” (Makoto)

“Uh” (Akua)

With a pained expression, Akua moans and stays silent.

It wasn’t purposely, but an accident then?

With Eris here, that’s actually possible.

“Eris huh” (Makoto)

“N-No! I didn’t think about what would happen and…” (Akua)

“So you plunged into the craziness of Eris” (Makoto)

“Aw… yes. Something like that” (Akua)

“Fortunately, aside from the fact that you can’t leave, there’s no other problems. Well, good work. And so, is there anything you need to report?” (Makoto)

That’s right. There’s not much harm from inside.

But this spell is a defensive barrier, and yet, it has a dangerous sounding name like Kokytus.

If I remember correctly, it is the name of the ice hell.

I don’t know if Eris knew about it when naming it, but for a simple babysitting barrier, it is way too unfit.

It is easy to understand the reason for the name when you try to carelessly get close from outside.

Well, the Academy is leading in the research of magic, so there shouldn’t be an idiot who would do something like that but… you would get frozen.

No, I wonder if that can be considered ‘frozen’.

It is more like, a sherbet maybe?

A highland orc that got close to it instantly had half of his arm frozen white.

In an instantaneous response, he severed his own arm with the other, so he got away with only that, but the fallen arm dispersed like diamond dust and crumbled.

A frightening spell.

“No, there’s nothing really worth reporting” (Akua)

“Yeah, there is” (Eris)

“?!”

Eris suddenly joined the conversation.

So she recovered already huh.

“Eris…” (Akua)

“Fuh, they say that failure is the mother of success. Next time I will try even harder” (Eris)

“Right. So, Eris, you said you had something to report” (Makoto)

If I retort to everything, the conversation won’t progress, so, when I am hurry, I decide to not retort.

With a slightly discontent expression, Eris nods.

“The ones that might be the ringleaders are probably gathering at a luxurious house” (Eris)

“… Heh~” (Makoto)

“The movements of the variants become organized at times, so it picked my curiosity and I laid out a net” (Eris)

“… Eris, I haven’t heard about any of this though?” (Akua)

“Akua was doing my part of the work while I was doing that. Thanks” (Eris)

“Ugu” (Akua)

“Continue” (Makoto)

“Yes. They are probably using some sort of tool that – even when imperfect – it controls the variants. Something like that.” (Eris)

“Control…” (Makoto)

“Looks like the variants are gathering. The rich are in trouble” (Eris)

Eris says: “Over there” and points at the place where a lot of wealthy live at.

It is the section that the Academy is putting most of its forces in.

Tomoe for some reason didn’t put much of our forces at that place.

I think that it would be faster to gather support by having the people living there like us, but I wonder.

It would be better to hear it in detail from the person herself huh.

Commanding the variants is new information.

I should confirm that as well.

But Eris’ information gathering is quite high.

On top of that, I feel like she is getting even better at it.

“Thanks Eris. That helped a lot” (Makoto)

“Those words are wasted on me. This spell as well, it isn’t even a pain to use it as an emergency measure in order to protect Waka’s precious students from falling in the hands of the Academy Principal. And that’s how it is. I want you to please forgive Akua’s spontaneous discharge of the barrier” (Eris)

… As soon as I say thanks, she comes out with this.

Eris is truly a mystery.

“It’s not like I am angry about it. If you want to, I can even bring you out of here. I will lead the way” (Makoto)

“R-Right now it’s fine. I am worried about the students, so I think I will stay here until it melts” (Eris)

Because outside there’s Mondo huh.

But if they go outside, Tomoe will probably be giving out rewards for the Forest Onis, so there is also a good part.

… Well, okay.

I am also slightly tired, so if Eris says she wants to stay here, I will just let her.

“I see. Then that’s fine. Well, I will be returning outside” (Makoto)

“Thanks for your hard work, Waka. If possible, please give my regards to Shishou” (Eris)

“I refuse” (Makoto)

“S-So cruel” (Eris)

I leave Akua and Eris, and leave the barrier.

Reunite with Tomoe and the others, meet with the Academy Principal, and after that… what should I do?

“Raidou-dono, are you returning now?”

N?

In a place slightly far from the barrier, I was called from the courtyard of a shelter.

Oh, an unexpected person.

[Sairitz-sama. This may be my imagination, but you look a bit tired. Are you okay?]

“… How embarrassing. Even though you should be several times more tired than me” (Sairitz)

[The Academy Principal and us are doing our best to resolve the issue. Please endure for a bit longer]

“Of course. So shameful. For me to be so tense just because communication has been severed” (Sairitz)

[I think that’s a natural mood]

I am dealing with this without problems, I think.

And yet, the eyes of Sairitz-san suddenly turn sharp.

Eyes that feel as if they could see through. An unpleasant sensation.

“Raidou-dono, no, Raidou-sama, I understand that this incident is being led to resolution by another power that is not the Academy. There’s someone pulling its hand from the shadows. Even I can tell something like that, and most likely, Princess Lily has noticed this as well. The Limia King also doesn’t have eyes for decoration. The exceptions are the eyes of Aion. And it seems Rembrandt Company has already given up on taking you in” (Sairitz)

As expected, the high-ups can see that we are moving from the shadows huh.

Should I ask her to please not interfere?

But if I handle this poorly, I feel like it will increase the problems.

“The power of Kuzunoha Company – even if it’s only a part of it – I have understood it. Even if Raidou-sama is a Wise-sama, I can’t imagine how you were able to gather so many strong people and created an organization. Could it be that you have awakened what you personages sometimes possess, the superhuman mental processing, or it could be that you have that rare business ability and charisma?” (Sairitz)

[You are overestimating me. I am not a Wise-sama, and I have no other way but to call this as a position I have been blessed to be born in]

“… Right now, you are clearly not intending to use it. After this, by the suggestion of the Guild Master Falz-dono, a meeting will be made to discuss several things about the Kuzunoha Company, but Lorel Union is thinking about positively accepting Raidou-sama, Kuzunoha Company” (Sairitz)

[Thank you very much]

Oh, what a welcoming proposal.

It would be great if that was all she had to say, but her eyes are still scary, so I can tell that it isn’t over yet.

“Raidou-sama, please listen to this and consider it the will of Limia, Gritonia and Lorel” (Sairitz)

Sairitz-san draws one step closer, and mentions the names of the major powers.

I-It sounds like a threat.

“The role that the Kuzunoha Company is shouldering to resolve this incident is incredibly big. And I do think that it is not proper to ask this of you considering that” (Sairitz)

[Please continue]

“I want to ask you to fix the thought transmission urgently. If you are able to do it, I will reward you. Of course, I won’t bring out the name of Kuzunoha Company regarding this matter” (Sairitz)

The restoration of the thought transmission huh.

I see.

If I tried to, I would be able to, but it would be bad if I don’t confirm with Tomoe. Cause it might disrupt her plans.

‘If I am able to, I will try to’, should be the safe option.

[I can’t promise, but I will do my best to recover it]

“I see. It’s fine, thanks Raidou-sama. I will let them know of what you have said. I am sorry to have kept you for so long” (Sairitz)

Sairitz-san lowers her head deeply.

Following lead, I also lower my head.

She returned to the place where her escorts were waiting at the far distance.

So she kept the place secluded when meeting me.

Fumu, if I restore the thought transmission, we would be able to know the location of the reinforcements of every country.

That would be convenient, and if the communication is restored, the people taking shelter will suffer less stress.

I want to do it, but let’s try talking with Tomoe about this.

A conversation that was tiring in a different meaning compared to when talking with Eris.

Eat, do archery, get tired, drop down, sleep, and repeat; that is my ideal, but in this world, it just doesn’t work that way.

With loans, debts, and all the troublesome haggling that is probably happening here and there, it just makes my head hurt.

Yareyare.

I am truly glad that I have Tomoe and Shiki.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

<Warning: Conversation ahead is slightly difficult to follow because of fragmented information>

“That’s an outrageous barrier. Those demi-human girls did this huh. I honestly don’t want to fight you guys”

“Well well, to surprise even Myriad Color-dono, how truly pleasant-ja na. Fufufu” (Tomoe)

“This is my first time seeing such a firm and aggressive barrier. If it’s through force, one day. If I am to analyze it, I want at least 3 days. Seriously, when I am close to him, I don’t get bored” (Root)

“What, you intend to break it?” (Tomoe)

“By no means. I am just interested. But if it doesn’t last for several days, I won’t be able to analyze it. And if I want to destroy it, I would have to return to my original form. If I transform into a dragon over something as petty as this and rampage, I would only be stacking up more panic on top of the variant uproar. And most importantly, Makoto-kun’s impression of me would lower. I won’t do it. Don’t want to interfere with Makoto-kun” (Root)

“… Fuh, we don’t mind holding the title of Dragon Slayer though. In terms of not being able to do anything, your side is more into that-ja shi” (Tomoe)

“Please pardon me from that. And? Is it over by tomorrow?” (Root)

Tomoe and Root were talking.

Maybe there’s no worries of anyone hearing, they are not using aliases, and they show no signs of hiding their plans.

“That’s how it is estimated-ja. A bit after the reinforcements arrive, we can just do the troublesome clean up and that’s it-ja” (Tomoe)

“Troublesome huh. And Makoto-kun?” (Root)

“If the current Waka learns of this, he might turn into a bad direction. What should I do… It may be safer. I decided to clean up without telling him” (Tomoe)

“I see” (Root)

“It’s something troublesome-ja yo. If the ones stealthily doing things weren’t the demon race, it would be easier. Demon General Rona huh. She probably wanted some results no matter how it rolled. Waka has to be a bit more experienced, or those kind of people will only serve as poison for him” (Tomoe)

“If I remember correctly, Makoto-kun told her to withdraw her troops right?” (Root)

“Umu. I didn’t enquire in detail if he said demon race or troops, but he did say it. She probably didn’t listen to exactly what Waka asked, so there’s not much point even if I ask in detail. Rona won’t abide to it that much” (Tomoe)

“In that sense, Makoto-kun is similar to Mio. Can be called good-natured, or careless” (Root)

Root thinks of Makoto as if having fun.

He isn’t using complicated words with deep meaning.

Makoto is the type that once someone listens to his request, he will honestly consider them as allies.

It is a type of person that is easy to treat, but also dangerous.

Because they easily hurry.

Just that, even when Root understands all this, he still considers Makoto as interesting.

He sees him as an existence that can “stir up” more than he has seen before.

“Earnestly training his body, shooting the bow; he is a person that lived his life with those activities as his core after all. He is thickheaded to the evil of the wide society-ja” (Tomoe)

“That’s why you are leaving the wealthy and the people that might be bad influence for Makoto-kun, for later?” (Root)

“No. That’s simply because of my inclination. If the people there reduce in numbers, the reconstruction will be slightly smoother, right? Also, if you are displeased to the point that you want to take advantage of the situation and rampage, it would be better to let out your feelings, or it will haunt you later” (Tomoe)

“And so, I should ignore the action of those demi-humans?” (Root)

“There’s a collaborator in the demon race aside from the blue-skinned. It’s just that I thought it would be a bit too fast to show Waka. Mio will deal with it tonight” (Tomoe)

“Oh, scary. So you won’t vindicate her or shelter her?” (Root)

“She is someone that hates hyumans unnecessarily much. I don’t think she would be of much use. It’s not like I am a protector of demi-humans or anything like that. Waka as well” (Tomoe)

Tomoe indifferently talks about circumstances Makoto doesn’t know about.

The strange movements of the variants that the Forest Oni Eris noticed, Tomoe also noticed it.

She also knows of the one that is controlling them.

And she marked that person as someone that is in collaboration with the demon race.

Just as Root said ‘her’, they also know the gender of that person.

If they investigated, they would be able to learn more details, or maybe, they already know all the details.

But for that person to move there, it seems Tomoe and Root didn’t expect that.

Thinking about the current Makoto’s way of thinking and position, Tomoe decided to finish it without telling her master.

Tomoe was secretly grateful that Makoto left the management of this turmoil to her.

“Also… wait for a bit” (Root)

Tomoe was going to ask Root: “What’s up?”, but she shut her mouth herself.

Thought transmission.

Root probably noticed. Without interfering, he silently observes Tomoe’s expression.

Her face frowns for an instant.

The content was probably not good. Root’s interest was piqued.

But after that, she returned to her normal face and continued the thought transmission. After several minutes, she silently exhales.

Looks like her thought transmission finished.

“From who?” (Root)

“Waka-ja” (Tomoe)

“Makoto-kun! Heh~ what did he say? Did something happen inside the barrier?” (Root)

“You really don’t show self-restraint. It wasn’t anything big. It’s just that, Waka was about to catch tail about that demi-human-ja” (Tomoe)

“Hmph~, so he also noticed” (Root)

“No. It seems Eris said something. Seriously, that girl really does unnecessary things-ja na” (Tomoe)

“I am slightly interested though. In the one who produced that demi-human” (Root)

“Also, he asked me if it was okay to restore the thought transmission” (Tomoe)

“He asked? He is the master, so it should be fine if he just restores thought transmission if he wants to. Maybe he is showing restrain since he left you in charge?” (Root)

“Might be. There’s already no problems with that, so I told him I don’t mind” (Tomoe)

“Eh?” (Root)

Root makes a strained expression and blurts out a question at the nonchalant words of Tomoe.

“What? Do you have any problems with the restoration of the thought transmission? You will probably be able to see beautiful fireworks in person. Waka’s handmade-ja” (Tomoe)

“Ah, no… I see, right now huh” (Root)

“You had me talk the whole time. Root, you are hiding something right?” (Tomoe)

“It’s not so big enough to call it hiding. It’s just that you didn’t ask. Fumu…” (Root)

“Aren’t you troubled? But you also made a strained expression. And right now you look like you are having fun-ja. Root, what are you hiding?” (Tomoe)

“You will probably notice as soon as the thought transmission is restored. Even so, Tomoe” (Root)

“Hm?” (Tomoe)

“Fate probably does exist. How truly mysterious” (Root)

With a meek countenance, Root mutters.

Nodding several times, he consented while maintaining his silence.

Tomoe, who is next to Root, sighs at him who has entered his own world.

And then, she turns her eyes at the place where Makoto is currently at.

She slowly turns her gaze upwards and waits for the moment.

“Root, it’s Waka-ja” (Tomoe)

“Hm?” (Root)

With Tomoe’s words and her finger pointing at the sky, Root looks up and sees a subdued yellow ball of light, that resembles the moon, being shot up.

That light stops for a while in the sky as if illuminating the town.

And then, it exploded.

Turning into absurd amounts of strings, it didn’t limit itself to the town, it rained on the whole zone.

Some made acute angles, bending several times, and there are some that just go straight.

Without a chance to defend against it, it pierces through the body of Root and Tomoe.

“?!!”

“One shot huh. Waka is truly the type that polishes one talent-ja” (Tomoe)

Root who had his arms crossed, unlinked those arms.

“That just now… could it be, it was aimed at what the demon race prepared?” (Root)

“Umu. There’s no real need to destroy them after all. As long as they stop working, that’s fine. There’s a method to do so, even without placing power in the attack. Waka did so in that way-ja na” (Tomoe)

“… All of them?” (Root)

“I wonder. There doesn’t seem to be a second shot, so he probably got all of them” (Tomoe)

“The demon race took several months to prepare them though” (Root)

“How hardworking-ja na” (Tomoe)

The two stayed looking at the sky for a while.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

“Eris. How did Waka enter here?” (Akua)

“Used” (Eris)

“Used?” (Akua)

“He did a foul play by using an Earth Dragon” (Eris)

“He summoned a dragon?!” (Akua)

“Something even worse. An existence that’s proved to be the best at digging holes, the mole~” (Eris)

“… Eris, d-didn’t you say that this was a perfectly isolated place?” (Akua)

“I didn’t imagine that one. It seems  it dug quite deep, that mole~” (Eris)

“… I will never help you again. This spell has died as of today” (Akua)

“I’m going to cry” (Eris)

The spell Makoto created to deal with the thought transmission jamming, that firework-looking spell, was blocked by the barrier, and those two were unable to see it.

Akua and Eris were devastated.

    1. And now it’s time for Spoiler-san.

      However… there really isn’t much to spoil related to the current situation. The Hopelace boy died, the shit shower is pretty much over. And spoiler-san loves the next arc so much that Spoiler-san cannot spoil anything until it begins. Spoiler-san is useless tonight 🙁

      1. Some questions here spoiler-san in this chapter Root kinda act suspicious also there makoto spell that aiming to him/her this only my hypothesis is root had relationship or at last related/know to demon army in this schemes? After all it’s seems ridiculous for him to not notice demon movement in city prior to incident also the “She” root and Tomoe talking about is makoto know about her on personal level or at last am acquittance ?

        1. The most Spoiler-san can tell you is that Spoiler-san hasn’t seen any connections between Root and the Demon Race in the raws as of yet. However, Root has been around for so long that he/she could have had past connections.

          1. I see so his/her long existence eh, I dunno how Root able to deceived hyuman but the demon might had notice might be possible indeed
            So about the demi-human they talking how ?

      2. from some chapter before i think we can also think that root is really neutral to all party (he know about sophia changing side, knowing lily weapon manufacture, etc) and he help all party as far he need to to stir up something that interest him , well that just my own hypotesis from all the event that already happen

      3. For me I think these two get attacked by makoto spell because they stood in that jamming ‘-‘)
        I’m betting for sairitz as traitor,for I remembered,demon know thought transmission after hijacking lorel,and root and tomoe said the traitor gender is female
        About that fate thing,I bet it is only that gritonia hero (who is his name again?)
        Also thank for the chappy~

      4. NO!!!! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!

        You said too much!!! Look pal, my spoilers are low detail, borderline teaser, and meant for hype. You said it too accurately. That info I’ve been keeping held back for a reason. You spoiled my favorite arc.

    1. hay He is Op with a bow to the point ware when he put his mind to it he can basically hit ANY THING with his bow soo… ya one shot got all the Jammers is not that far fetch if you think about it.

      1. There is always a reason why Gae Bolg is a damn OP broken weapon and that is because it has the ability to have a true unmissable strike that have an unstoppable penetrating power, You can think of makoto as Cu Chlainne 100x better than him. PS… 100% accuracy isn’t that flashy and impressive but if it is combine with a huge bomb which is normally have lesser accuracy and completely reliant to it’s destructive area of effect that would become so broken

      1. plus he can hit anything at pin point accuracy at any range with just a bow and arrow so ya.. magic bow + makoto = you dead.

  1. thank you reigo-san
    damn this new chapter really ease my boredom because of the damn blackout !
    i never though the way to defeat the ice barrier is by burrowing under it to pass the barrier , too bad for the duo because its easily defeat like that by makoto hahahaha

    1. So did Makoto actually summon some kind of giant mole mamono, or some mole-beastkin? Or did he just use earth magic or whatever to enter? imagine he didn’t use the mist gate since the barrier even blocks that.

      1. i think its earth-element spell since it never mentioned that they have mole-beastkin enter the asora populace , but that just my assumption. maybe there are more mamono’s joining the asora populace in the time inbetween the last interview until now

    2. “can’t reply to the commit he wanted” i think it a earth elemental for one of the cover art it show some thing big behind makoto that look like it made of Christel or rock and hell he was in a school that have’s magic books it will not be shocking if he found a spell that makes one.

  2. Makoto showing more OP powers XD
    Takes several months making- gets destroyed by MC within a few mins.

    Demi-human woman get? (Or killed?)

    The meeting is sooooo closeeee

    Thnx for the chappy~ Nanodesu~

  3. Wow. Makoto seems like a completely different person when he was dealing with the forest-oni duo. Like a boss that always has his poop together instead of the bumbling otherworldly “just a kid” we’ve been seeing recently. I guess he’s like that as a teacher too, but that’s obviously more of an act.

    Hehehe…He didn’t disappoint when it came to the super ice barrier’s weaksauce weakness either. Between the magical girl duo and the demons, Makoto is just crushing the dreams of everyone today. With a firework. Using Lock-All targeting.

    It sounds like Sairitz is basically 100% sure Makoto is an otherworlder. Or rather, Makoto fell into way too many traps like with the meaning of Kuzunoha. I have a feeling the polite bowing might also have been a probe that he fell for.

    Also, It’s about time there were more references to the moon. …*sigh* I miss Moon-bro.

    1. you have to be patience since reigokai just got a new job, we all want to know too but we also know that he do this translation in his spare time. But right now i think the new chapter translation span about 3~7 days between the last chapter he translate

      1. I think it’s impressive how he was able to translate a new chapter of this in three days despite having a (new) job. Unless the job is in public service, then he should be able to translate a chapter a day 😉

  4. Seriously… i wonder if the author made makoto pov of how he restore the thought transmission with just a shot and disperse. We didnt see he learn any more magic. Even in the academy…. there was barely any mention of him learning new magic.
    Thank you!

    1. he had learnt that the demon race had hidden hundreds of jammers for thought transmission thoughout the town, simplest way to stop them is destroy them, which is what he did probally along the lines of Realm over the town to find them all then a single fired brid to hit them all at once

    1. Cocytus (/koʊ-kaɪˈtəs/) or Kokytos, meaning “the river of wailing” (from the Greek Κωκυτός, “lamentation”), is a river in the underworld in Greek mythology. Cocytus flows into the river Acheron, across which is the underworld, the mythological abode of the dead. There are five rivers encircling Hades. The River Styx is perhaps the most famous; the other rivers are Phlegethon, Lethe and Acheron.

      Kokytus is still valid xD
      (thought of Cocytus so I researched xD)

  5. Hi, thanks for the chapter. I usually never post comments, but today I just had to thank you for all the effort you put into translating this great novel. I also want to point one thing, though; shouldn’t be “floor” instead of “roof” in this sentence “Eris had her knees curled up sitting down and rubbing the roof with her index finger. ” That’s a typical act in anime/manga when a character is depressed.

  6. RB: this is a dream..??
    Sage: no.. this isn’t dream banana.
    RB: yey! 2 update everyweek.. thx regoikai-sama..
    Sage: stupid banana don’t just say thanks.. he got enough thanks.. help him with donate to keep the site up!!
    RB: *run away*
    Sage: damn it banana..

  7. Thanks for the chapter!
    The end really makes me smile. Also the mystery continues huh. Not complaining. It’s interesting but I’m interested in the politics too now. How it will change and how it will impact Makoto. What Root does and what becomes of the Academy Principal. So many fronts to attend in this single plot.

  8. wow seeing ask’s of “when will the next chapter comes out” is just…rilly just what for it to come out when it ready and wile you what try looking at other novels like say…. “Konjiki no Wordmaster” is a good one or “Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?” is good for some chuckles is short read something else wile you wait for the next chapter that is what i do.

      1. Death March was very good but lately is geting out of control (by the end of volume 13). There is far too many characters, MC is basically omnipotent, so there is no tension, and any woman who gets a 100 meters from him falls madly in love…

  9. Well as always thanks for the chapter Reigo sensei, hope you had a restfull weekend and that the job is doing well. Whoao great chapther now I’m clueless of who might be the demi-human thats working with the demons, and Makoto as always OP as hell and really is frightening how his control is inly growing and always on targuet.

    1. Well even a god became awe by his skill in archery aaying as long as he has a target there is nothing in the world he coudn’t hit. Simple terms hes in the same league as a god of archery hahaha

  10. Thanks for the chapter (~_^). Poor Akua and Eris, they put so much effort into creating that spell and mokoto comes and dig a hole to pass through lol.

  11. well they also mentioned the traitor its Demi Human but sairitz its a hyuman right ?

    the traitor so far was mentioned to be Demi Human – prepared by root – With and inmense hate to Hyumans

    option one Sophia < sheits not hyuman anymore since the pact with dragon
    option two Someone we dont know yet
    option three someone already mentioned and friendly with makoto from the slums but was not important character to count it yet

    anyway i am more intrested with what will happen after now in next chapter unless another POV comes out sine this novel its famous for that so see ya in 4 days

  12. Actually I think that “line” is tracker and also destroyer for specific target at the dame time.
    Thak you very much for doing this for all of us.

    1. what makoto did probably : Use sakai (detection mode) -> Gather his magic power while focusing the attack (just like what he usually do while doing archery) to hit all the detected transmission-jammer item that the demon-race deploy in the vicinity of the city -> Fire the arrow into the sky -> The arrow that been shot going back down while splitting into multiple fragmentation arrow and homingly into each of the transmission-jammer item -> BOOM -> profit

        1. Well, Makoto DID say it was a glaring weakness.

          Might be otherworlder common sense though. I doubt hyumans have the creative capacity to consider underground, and even the more adaptive demons probably burrowing power accessible enough for it to come to mind as a possibility.

          1. Reminds me of that forcefield in Startrek Generation. Kirk slipped in under some rocks.

      1. that girl was a princes or was it the head preast any way she came up to him during the party and basically say “that writing of you store name was something a person from another world whom teach us how to wright it so that mean you are one so come to my kingdom” or something in that genial lines. basically it’s every country,kingdom even the demon race are in it are trying to get him to join there side and Makoto is just a “thing” that in a multay way tug or war or “it’s mine” fight for one way or another he have something that can improve something dramatically and they want it SUPER badly.

      2. After seeing how Makoto and his people are wandering around bored and not the slightest bit concerned about the great threat they are under they probably realized that his group is not a thing to play with, but more like a mine just sitting there not doing anything and that they are better off not poking it with a stick to see if it does something.

        Her wording was basically saying that the 3 strongest kingdoms were going to backoff and take a welcoming approach to him to keep him from exploding and erasing a country.

  13. Alright! If my prediction is right, by 3-5 chapters this arc might end.

    In DBZ terms, Frieza is already at 100% fighting Goku and is about to cut himself.

    Can’t wait for the next one and thank you for this wonderful chapter!

  14. So because of Eris, there’s still a dead zone for thought transmission within the barrier, the principle will be unaware and unable to coordinate, making him appear even more incompetent. And Makoto’s forces can steal the glory :3

    1. She put up the barrier to keep him out so I really doubt he is inside. Although there is a chance that the idiot walked up to the barrier and tried to poke it and has already become dust.

  15. Thinking about the demi-human… maybe is the boss of the red light in the slums < if anyone notices is the only one mentioned by the adventurer that helps Makoto in the slums and is female at the same time….

    1. I suspect that Tomoe does not want to let Makoto know that a demi-human was working with the demons as that is one of the few main race groups left that Makoto has any kind of trust in. Letting him know might turn him even darker and that would probably be bad.

      Makotos’ attack does not need to destroy the jammers, just cause them to shortout and stop working. Since they probably work by absorbing ambient power just hitting them with a strong charge should be enough to fry them.

      1. That’s very Tomoe-like, she reminds me of Erica (Campione) selfish and domineering but loyal and capable.
        Isn’t Sairitz suspicious? She had demon guards with her when she talked to Makoto but I have no clues about her reasons to do so.

      2. Erica is probably a good comparison. Devoted, Loyal, Cunning, and willing to do the things she thinks are best for her love interest without bothering to tell them.

  16. Who was the demihuman collaborator in the end? I came back after read the whole arc again but didn’t notice that they specified whi was it, it was an unnamed character or I am missing something?
