Tsuki – Chapter 295: Izumo’s resolve, Haruka’s resolve

“You can still stand up huh.” (Haruka)

There was only one boy that is standing by relying on a staff and a katana. Looking at the figure of this boy, Haruka lets out a heavy sigh.

The words that followed after held no ridicule and you can tell there’s confusion in it.

Even now, the eyes of the boy still release strong will.

That boy is Izumo Ikusabe.

Jin and Daena were overwhelmed by the difference in technique, but they fought bravely. Without forgetting about their teamwork with the backlines, they resolutely faced an enemy they couldn’t defeat with their own ability.

Amelia and Sif also didn’t make any mistakes. Or rather, they showed a miracle-like fight. Those girls who showed strength that far surpassed their actual ability should be commended for it.

Misura, with a special ability and tenacious spirit to endure, exposed his body to the attacks of Haruka to the bitter end.

And then, there’s Yuno. She learned a variety of things from Misura in the middle of the battle and became a tough shield for the backlines as well as coordinating with them to increase the firepower.

The user of Ein-Khalif, or more like, the person that was participating in the fight with it as her proxy, Iroha, also lasted till her last attack.

Being able to maintain a strong heart until then is also something that should be commended.

The failure of the wave attack had severed her connection with it and she lost consciousness, but no one can blame her for that. The Ein-Khalif in her hands had returned to the appearance of a normal sword and already didn’t move a single bit.

A secluded girl like her that hasn’t experienced a battlefield before managed to stay conscious for so long because of the existence of Izumo.

Due to the violent attacks of Haruka that came often, the bodyguards of Iroha -Akashi and Yuduki- as well as Shougetsu had already fallen.

This situation could be called many things.

Wiped out.

Crushing defeat.

There was only one backline magician barely standing, but aside from that, there was no one else left.

The others are still alive –but they are unconscious.

Their life-or-death was already being grasped by Haruka.

“That just a while ago was…the everything of you people but…are you telling me you still have more to show me?” (Haruka)

‘That’.

The ‘that’ Haruka was referring to was the attack that Jin and the others squeezed their all to do.

The few seconds that the frontline gained with their bodies on the line, Amelia used them to cast enhancement magic on the combined element magic of Sif.

Yuno utilized that power to release a big move ‘Red Salamander’.

After shouting: ‘If we can’t bring you down from above, we will break you from below!’, the combined element magic that Sif released had changed the form of the armor of Yuno, Juuki, but this powerful combo technique was deflected by Haruka.

Faced with the retaliation of Haruka, Juuki was completely destroyed and there wasn’t a single person who had the leeway to catch the falling Yuno. There was also no one who could go against the Haruka that summoned mamonos from the sky.

And so, it leads to now.

“That’s why you pushed to end us…like toys you have gotten bored of.” (Izumo)

“‘Toys you got bored of’, that’s quite the self-deprecating way of speaking.” (Haruka)

“…Don’t underestimate us.” (Izumo)

“…”

“Don’t underestimate us! What’s with this!! We…we were doing our very best! Even if you are stronger, I will never forgive an act like making fun of them!” (Izumo)

“Make fun of them? I had no such intentions, child of the military family Ikusabe. Just that—” (Haruka)

“My comrades and I had the resolve in this fight!!” (Izumo)

“That’s simply delirious talk from the weak.” (Haruka)

“!!”

“I had no obligation of doing my best to answer to your resolve.” (Haruka)

“Why…? Aren’t you a warrior?! Is ridiculing the people who do their best something that a warrior would do?! I have not been taught that by no one! Not my sword master, or my magic master, or anyone from my household. And I feel pride from that!” (Izumo)

Izumo’s expression was distorted in anger.

Even Iroha had chosen to clash blades with her mother.

Izumo wouldn’t allow anyone to dare say that there was no resolve in that.

He wouldn’t let that happen.

The attack of Ein-Khalif that she used was vicious. Leaving aside how much Iroha herself was able to control that, it was an attack that showed absolutely no signs of holding back.

Her expression also showed no hesitation. She had a strong face as she viewed the attack towards her mother –without showing a single sign of bitterness.

Izumo was deeply moved by the strong resolve of Iroha.

“I definitely won’t acknowledge you!” (Izumo)

“Stop it already. There’s no way you don’t know that you have been shaving off your life as you wring out magic power, right? No matter how much power you bring out, I can summon mamonos that can serve as shield and mamonos that can interrupt your aria. It is an ability that’s said to have been used by the Wise Tokito-sama, called Hyakki Yagyo.” (Haruka)

“I know, you can use it as a Rebound Person. That doesn’t matter anymore.” (Izumo)

Izumo also understands.

Osakabe Haruka is a Rebound Person. Moreover, an abnormal Rebound Person that possesses several Wise powers.

She might even be stronger than a Wise.

But even if that’s the case, Izumo has absolutely no intentions of changing his plans.

“…If you still have something you want to do, go ahead.” (Haruka)

“…”

“If that’s the way you want to use your life, go ahead. Do it.” (Haruka)

“…Is that your way of pity?” (Izumo)

Izumo grips his staff and katana.

He was bringing out dangerous magic power from inside of him and shaping it.

“Fighting is by no means something that I find fun. What role did God give to me when it granted these many powers to this body…” (Haruka)

Haruka wasn’t showing a single trace of feeling danger.

“Then watch. I will be showing you right now what lies beyond the power of a military household!” (Izumo)

Finishing his calculations, he spreads many fragments of arias.

Multiple magic activation, a technique that is passed down and classified as a special move by the military family.

(Fourteen activations of ‘Garuda Tempest’ and four ‘Dust Wings’. It should look beautiful.) (Izumo)

Fully on the know of what will come out, Izumo gathers more aria fragments.

“Well, leave that for later, okay?”

A voice suddenly resounded.

But that wasn’t an unfamiliar voice for Izumo. Or more like, the moment Izumo heard it, he felt as if he would lose all strength out of relief.

—A voice he has been waiting for eagerly.

“…Wa?”

The voice that Haruka heard right in front of her was from someone Izumo knows.

The dumbfounded voice he let out was a reaction after seeing the shining needle pierced in the neck of Haruka.

“Who goes there!” (Haruka)

“Woah now.”

Without caring about Izumo, Haruka’s naginata leaves a shiny trail as she turns around, but the person easily jumped away from it and stands in the middle of Izumo and Haruka.

“Sensei?” (Izumo)

“Yeah.” (Makoto)

The quest has been accomplished.

Even if this was the result of them being made light of, no one died.

‘Ah, with this, I can let go of my consciousness’, is what Izumo thought as his knees hit the ground.

It must have also been the backlash of him exploding with the most anger he have had to feel in his whole life until now.

But, sadly, their Sensei won’t be easy-going.

“Sensei. Then…you are Raidou?” (Haruka)

The state of Haruka made a complete turn.

Bloodthirst that would make you shiver was released in an instant from her whole body.

The magic power needle made a small sound as it broke.

“…Right. Izumo.” (Makoto)

“Y-Yes?!” (Izumo)

“Wake up everyone and watch.” (Makoto)

Without turning back, the Sensei says these short words and faces Haruka.

****

Osakabe Haruka tried to receive everything that Jin and the others brought out.

She was trying to bring out their power as she hurt them to an extent where she wouldn’t kill them.

A delicate job that required the highest of care.

Their anger, bloodthirst, and the many miracle-like techniques that these young group of talents were giving birth to; she received them all and crushed them.

That’s how it looked to me.

And that delayed it enough for me to intervene.

In other words, it could be that……ah…this is hard to deal with. Even if it is something that I have decided on, I wonder if this really is the correct choice.

Fighting really doesn’t bring out anything good.

“The enemy of Tomoki-sama; the one who injured his personage…is how I should think of it, right?” (Haruka)

“You can.” (Makoto)

Was it at the time she fought Lime and Levi? Or maybe after seeing the fight of Jin and the others?

It…couldn’t have been at the time when she killed Kougetsu-san.

At that time, I thought we were too late, but due to the power-up of Tomoe’s illusions, it seems she can even interfere with the boundary between life-and-death.

After reviving the whole unit, we have had them cooperate for the time being.

…But she sulked quite a lot though.

‘I will become lad Kosugi~~!!’, is still burned in my mind. <Take this one with a grain of salt.>

“Fufu, so the one I was looking for has finally appeared. Moreover, it looks like you are pretty strong.” (Haruka)

Haruka-san rubs the back of her neck.

How did she nullify the needle?

If it’s her who possesses several Wise abilities…ah, it is this one huh.

Investigating with ‘Sakai’, I gather detailed information of her.

This person has quite a lot of real combat experience and is quite strong.

“It is called Wings of the Saint.” (Haruka)

“…”

So she already knew that I was investigating her and about the result as well huh.

That’s right, Wings of the Saint; the last power that she hadn’t displayed until now.

“Because of this, fighting had become nothing short of boring.” (Haruka)

Because of that huh.

“Must have been. A Wise power that activates the moment you receive a certain amount of damage or are afflicted by a status effect that affects your life.” (Makoto)

And after activating, all damage will be healed and you receive a permanent resistance against that status effect.

It truly is an unbelievable power fitting of its name.

Get injured for long, and in time, become immortal huh.

Was that the power of a brave of that era, or maybe a Wise of reputation?

“How scary. It is correct. It also heals wounds and poison disappears.” (Haruka)

“…No way. That’s cheating.” (Izumo)

I heard the pained voice of Izumo coming from my back.

Looks like Jin and the others have woken up. They are making noise.

“ So, what will you do? That mysterious needle attack of yours won’t work on me anymore. This is the first time I have had Wings of the Saint activate with a single attack though.” (Haruka)

“Of course, I will be incapacitating you.” (Makoto)

I glance at my students.

Jin, Daena, Misura, Amelia, Sif, Yuno…and Izumo.

They have…truly become strong.

Just how much experience have they gained in this short amount of time.

I couldn’t understand the reason of them being here until I saw it directly with my eyes.

I even thought it could have been a mistake that stemmed from Shiki indulging the selfishness of Izumo.

No, if we think about the danger, my thinking is correct.

But that’s not it –it wasn’t solely a mistake.

They have already grown a lot more than someone like me.

I am simply a teacher though.

Shiki must have talent as a mentor.

“Incapacitate? The more I swing my weapon, the stronger I become; just by receiving an attack, I gain resistance against it; I can’t use big magic, but I can summon a number of mamonos that possess many abilities –you want to incapacitate someone like that? Even if you look around the world, there’s no one who can clash upfront against me.” (Haruka)

Haruka-san shows a praiseworthy feat of smiling while not loosening her bloodthirst at all.

…How vain.

“In reality, I have been thinking for a bit. I was wondering if you and I are similar. But it looks like I was wrong.” (Makoto)

“That doesn’t answer anything.” (Haruka)

“Haha, you say you have ‘become’ bored?” (Makoto)

“What’s so funny about that?” (Haruka)

“In that case, I might be able to express my gratitude towards you for stimulating the growth of my students.” (Makoto)

“…”

“I will make it so your last fight will be slightly fulfilling at the very least.” (Makoto)

“?!!”

When I look at Haruka-san, she takes a stance with sharp eyes and points her weapon in my direction.

“Haruka-san.” (Makoto) <Omae wa mou shindeiru.>

“What?!” (Haruka) <Nani?!>

I call her as I stand right before her eyes.

Being suddenly closed in in such a short space of time, she was clearly agitated.

“You see, I…” (Makoto)

I pierce her with a needle.

The needle that had a petrifying effect endowed was pierced in her chest.

“Why?! But!” (Haruka)

The needle crumbles.

It doesn’t matter.

“Things like ‘a fight being fun’…I have never thought of it before. Even the battle trainings, I only do them because they are necessary. No matter if I get injured or not, no matter if it is a complete victory or a crushing defeat; I don’t feel worth in battle. Honestly, inside of me, there’s only the feeling of whether it is necessary or not.” (Makoto)

“Are those your words as a warrior?!” (Haruka)

“Is that a joke? This is simply a farewell gift. If Haruka-san is a person that’s fickle about victory or defeat, it is still possible to bring out something that will make fighting worth after all!” (Makoto)

This time, I create a fire needle and attack.

She tries to evade, but it looks like she still has some leeway in her.

Utilizing the power of the red-colored coat, I accelerate without reservation, and break through the evasion and defense of hers that was mixed with hesitation.

“It doesn’t have any effect! Raidou!!” (Haruka)

Two naginatas are swung inside the hot wind.

The trajectory of the blades are on the level of a master, but I am the faster one.

I grab both blades around the base with its respective hand.

“You grabbed it?!” (Haruka)

“It is pure physics. I wonder if you gain complete immunity if you were to be hit with physical damage.” (Makoto)

“Wa, guh!!” (Haruka)

I continue by striking her with my Magic Armor.

Aiming up.

The strongest team attack of Jin and the others began just like that.

Was it the ‘Aerial’ of Izumo? That had stayed in my mind, so I might have punched her up unconsciously because of it.

But the figure of Haruka-san in the sky disappears while she was still hanging in the air.

Teleportation?

No, this is…

I move my gaze to the side and I found her using the crumbling rubble of buildings as foothold to jump and approach me.

A feat that’s impossible for a hyuman; ability on the level of a Wise.

Is that the blessing of the ability that enhances the body whenever it receives damage; War Beast?

She is making moves like those of a wild animal.

“Dwell in it, fifteenth beast; the inescapable black thorn, Great Tusk Ogre!” (Haruka)

Summoning a familiar and endowing it into her weapon with no aria, just simple words, Haruka-san moved at lightning speed with a blade that’s clad in a black muddy-something and came mowing down at me on both sides.

She said it was inescapable, but it seems possible to evade.

I move back at the place slightly before the two blades intersect.

“I got you!!” (Haruka)

So she had my evasion in mind huh.

The two naginatas became one and was thrusted at me who was trying to evade.

A charge that came at me together with her whole body.

The part of the Magic Armor that came in contact with its tip was blown away.

Literally blown away.

Hm~.

I crouch my body; my two legs properly staying on the ground.

Grabbing the naginata that was still clad in a black aura, I pull it towards me.

Now that she was at close range, I create a needle endowed with blast power from my right hand, and pierce it onto the shoulder of Haruka-san.

“…!!”

She is blown to the ground without letting out a single word.

But that’s not the end.

From the dust cloud that was raised, several shadows aside from hers appeared.

So she summoned something again huh.

“Scary. You truly are a scary monster, Raidou. Even so, I won’t be losing.” (Haruka)

I am beginning to feel as if I am being attacked by a zombie.

“Why do you think of something that’s so far from the truth?” (Makoto)

“The Wings of the Saint will remember all of your abilities in time.” (Haruka)

“And?” (Makoto)

“And I am saying that’s the moment where you will be prostrating!” (Haruka)

“If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.” (Makoto)

I am certain.

If she were really charmed by Tomoki, Jin and the others would have been all killed in just a matter of seconds.

Izumo called it an insult and was angered, but she wouldn’t have let them show their abilities and the limits of their power.

Haruka-san —you, just how did you do it, and when?

Did you undo the charm of Tomoki on your own?

I was thinking this while listening to her frivolous talk.

      1. Most likely it was her Saint’s Wings, since they are said to activate to nullify and gain resistance to any status abnormality (like charm/brainwashing?). As for why she is doing this? I can only think that she is bored and wanted a good fight, or she thinks she is affected by the charm and so she has a semblance of being charmed (self-suggestion or whatever isn’t an external status abnormality, and so thus wouldn’t be nullified). She does become afflicted with status effects, even if only an instant, so she may have mistaken those “strong feelings of love and devotion” as true and internalized them before the status was removed. Basically, you can think that she is afflicted with a form of “mild” brainwashing or something that just kinda happened and makes her think she is doing things of her own will and feelings (which she technically is, but her will is based off of false and untrue feelings during the interim she was affected by the charm temporarily).
        Or she has been feeling confined for way too long and wants to cut loose, and fight someone (though I find this unlikely as she would be quite the messed up person to do all this crap just for a fight she could have gotten with fewer steps). In any case, MC is going to deliver a severe curb-stomp battle that may or may not cripple her (not even immortality or her growth-immunity is good enough as shown with what he was going to do with Azu or alternate Tomoki).

      2. Or what if she sincerely fell in love with him and the charm never even influenced her? And she did everything of her own will? What if she’s just a disgusting hyuman?

          1. “I am certain.
            If she were really charmed by Tomoki, Jin and the others would have been all killed in just a matter of seconds.”

            I don’t think she want to kill her because she would already be dead

      3. If we’re going off what Makoto said “afflicted by a status effect that affects your life” I don’t think Saint’s Wings would activate; yes being charmed by Trashmoki would screw with your life but it wouldn’t really kill you or be fatal in any way, unless you wanted to somehow go ahead and kill yourself because it is Trashmoki

      4. tsilvaO, if the “affects your life” only counts for fatal injuries. The knockout needles would have worked on her, since they would not kill her. So the charm should be de-spelled. But she did have some crazy monologues, she might be charmed and this is just a rare faulty narration.

      5. If I remember correctly, the charm power was made into a liquid and charmed Haruka from afar right? So it’s impossible for her to fall in love with Trashmoki since she hasn’t seen him nor been in contact or doused with the charm power enough to render her completely in love with him. So I’m guessing when the All-removing debuff power Haruka had freed her from the charm power, she either craved for a fight against someone like Makoto since she was pitifful as she was made to be a political piece for marriage or some kind of deeper reason enough to direct killing intent to her own daughter and not kill the students fast.

    1. My guesses are:
      1. Pretending to be Trashmoki’s ally so when she has a chance she’ll stab his sorry ass.
      2. She herself couldn’t win against Trashmoki for whatever reason even with the charm broken, so she’s trying to raise these children to be strong enough to defeat her, and hopefully trashmoki.
      3. ^But she’s ashamed of what she’s done so she’s trying to at least die as ‘villain’ so nobody will mourn for her.

      1. Those seem plausible. It could be just as well that she’s using this as an opportunity to move as a sacrificial piece.
        Firstly to create an incident too big to cover up and turn hyumanity against Tomoki.
        Secondly, to deal with the problematic elements inside Lorel Union itself that collaborated with Tomoki to begin with.

        Personally, I don’t know how much she’s intent on hurting Tomoki. Maybe her motive is more rooted in loyalty to her family, country, or something like that.

      2. In my opinion: it’s clear that she hates her current husband, we still don’t know why but I think she hates him cuz he is weak and isn’t suited for her, and we know she has a daughter that has been stated not being her current husband s. So I think that she found her true love at some point but couldn’t go with him, probably cuz she is a rebound person so she must preserve her blood or something along those lines or simply because of political reasons and in the end she accepted her destiny, then one day someone tried to use live to subdue her but instead woke up her most inner desire and so she decided to realize her dream and deicide to destroy her family and her husband and to take away her daughter from a political marriage that could lead iroha to her same fate, marring a person she doesn’t like.
        She proprably hated makoto because he is her daughter’s fiancée s teacher that is known to be incredibly dangerous and skilled and could possibly help Izumo into marring her daughter.

    2. so…. she act as a NECESSARY EVIL for trying to give a boost of experience or possibly trying to find someone that have higher strenght than her huh….
      welp that just my opinion though

    3. Probably she is the same as waterfall she found out about Makoto so she is either wanting to killhim for the sake fo the world or maybe she thinks that even if Tomoki does all that shit because he is a hero she will comply to the will of an envoy of the Bug

    4. A better question is have she even meet trashmoki in person before and after she got charmed or has she been charmed via the wine only

      1. She hasn’t met Trashmoki. It was stated before.
        ‘Infatuated with a person she has never met before’, is a part of a paragraph talking about her.

    1. I mean, if there’s anything Makoto’s gotten experience doing in the last few days…it’s looking before he kills.

      But if there’s anything else he’s gotten, it’s experience fighting immortals.

  1. Hmmmm I hope she becomes a helper not harem or anything but more like a future employee of his company, that is if she has a good reason as to why she’s acting maybe it’s to smoke out who’s charmed or smth. Still this will definitely become interesting in 1-3 chapters

      1. So he’ll ntr her pathetic husband and then she’ll need to become his subordinate/slave if possible and e accepted by Tomoe and Mío, Tomoe might accept if she teaches her sword techniques and Mío if taught cooking. MILF=Win

  2. “Must have been. A Wise power that activates the moment you receive a certain amount of damage or are afflicted by a status effect that affects your life.” (Makoto)

    Did that also undo the charm? Technically it affects her life.

    1. Or maybe it’s going down the route of her daughter being her life, so now that she’s in danger due to the charm it gets cancelled

    2. I don’t know, wouldn’t it have activated from the get go if it was that simple?

      My guess is that “affects your life” means = might end it, not influence it’s course.

      I think it’s acting like a magic resistance buff and Trashmoki’s Charm is a debuff that regularly does a check to see if she’s still affected and is slowly losing to her ability until it brakes completely.

      She is still under his control but is slowly regaining her mind, maybe.

  3. I just hope she wasn’t killing her husband or going after her daughter willingly. If she did, she’s irredeemable. Hopefully the charm was destroyed after fighting the kids or Makoto.

  4. Reagokai, I was going to sleep and caugh your update and though LIKE HELL I NEED SLEEP IN FRONT OF TSUKI, so thanks for another wonderfull chapter. So someon migth be kind enough to explain to me if she is no longuer affected by the charm why is she so eagerly figthing Makoto, could it be that she is another one of those Battle junkys??? And who is Kougetsu??? The old guardian???

  5. Honestly, although this novel has been one of my favorites for a long time, I feel like the story has sort-of stagnated lately. The fights are drawn out and seem to be full more of dialogue than actual fighting. I don’t know how to explain how I’m feeling, I just honestly am tired of this arc. I feel like there hasn’t been any real plot advancement. Sure there’s been new information that helps with world building but the development of the characters has stalled and I feel like the author has spent too much time trying to develop side characters over the core characters that we still honestly don’t know all that much about.

  6. “Did you undo the charm of Tomoki on your own?”

    I refuse to believe this because she’s still hostile towards Makoto, time to end this bitch, Makoto is just playing with her.

  7. She does give out different feelings compared to when she fought with Lime alright.

    Back then she seems like she about to went insane just because of the name Raidou. But now she looks so… I dunno, more calm? Maybe the charm effect still not completely gone but we’ ll see

      1. could be, since she been given power by the Dragon that govern the earth (and possibly the soul of the dead, kinda like Hades maybe) she could ressurect people by changing the ‘world’ using her illusion that been powered up

  8. “If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.” Makoto – 2018

    That’s sound so badass I thought I read a wrong story. Is that really you Makoto?

  9. Mostly probably she undid it during the fight with the squidy and coffee named dude but still suffering some side effect till her winds of saints activated. Else like raidou said they the student would be dead.

    If she undid it before the riot and still do it. she most likely hate her husbands guts lol.

    As for her wings of saint……. azunoval and the ninja dude most likely can beat her up. Its like a self learning immunity trait sadly its cant learn to block normal hits hahahah one punch man super serious series would work perfectly well.

    Oh yeah thanks for the chapter.

    1. Depends on how it works, it may make her immune to specific kinds of physical attacks, and only if they were strong enough to trigger the effect. So anyone’s last resort attack would get cancelled out, and be unusable against her a second time.

    1. uuhh, feels like that scum charm turn everyone into yandere, we dont know her personality before that, its a freakin super lady, feel wasteful to kill her here

  10. Thank for the chapter ^^

    Agggggggggghhhhhh, somehow Reigo chan always masterfully stop at a great cliff !!! >_<

    1. could be Reigokai joke since in that instant she might already be dead if Makoto is going for the kill (too bad reigokai doesnt input the NANIII !!? response beside the ‘what’ ) XD

      1. Yup, the appearing in front of her and the WHAT?! after made me really want to put it.
        I even felt like it was necessary.
        So, I will add the NANI?! as well cause I now feel it necessary too!

  11. ‘Haruka-san —you, just how did you do it, and when?’

    I’m guessing it was when she almost die. If the wings of the saint activates and heals any abnormality in her body then that means tomokis charm would have been canceled

  12. wait a minute, did we skip something?? the student fight already over, kougetsu already down?/ and tomoe did something with her new power? when?? in the first place, arent tomoe supposed to be the one that met haruka first?? makoto send her right away when he still dealing with all the trashmoki dolls

    and yeah somehow haruka vibe in this chapter are totally different compared to the one when she confront lime CS

    1. Yeah, i think after fighting lime and levy, somehow they managed to hurt haruka to the point that Wing of Saint activated or half activated (?) So that all the charm or half of it is gone, so she can control herself better

  13. Thanks for the chapter reikogai !!, anyone can tell me how the extra chapters are? No one is translating and they are practically from the same universe as the tsuki.

  14. Thanks for the chapter.

    Oh so she’s actually freed herself from that hijo de puta Trashmoki. I don’t know if that means she deserves less beating or more. I’m hoping for more.

  15. “If you want to defeat me immortality isn’t enough” damn Makoto being badass in front of his students
    Thanks for the chap ~

  16. Why the hell did she burn down everything if she broke the curse herself? She’s been saying things that would make us believe she had NTR’d her husband, the husband that she awakened her powers for in the first place, under Tomoki’s charm like one of his onahoes, but now we know she wasn’t charmed? I’m so confused😕

    1. Maybe because she already conceived Trashmoki baby, and even after the charm already broke, she still fights MC to protect her baby, the fruit of love between her and her Trashmoki-sama.

      1. I feel like I have to clear this up. Haruka hasn’t met Trashmoki in person, and most likely, all the people of Kannaoi havent met him in person. It was already stated.
        The perfume is the one doing the charming. Probably by the plans of the Empire’s princess.

  17. “If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.”

    Sweet Jesus, that’s the best line Makoto has spat out in this arc so far. He’s not even gloating. It’s just a simple fact.

  18. Thank you for this chapter T_T
    I can hardly calm when he said “Of course, I will be incapacitating you.”,
    then “I will make it so your last fight will be slightly fulfilling at the very least.”
    AAAAAGHHHHH this is blowing my mind, then instakilled by “If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.”
    This is new year, yet the torture is already at the insane level >,<

  19. *sigh* You guys might think this is weird, but to me a character feels human the most when they rage, usually when protecting someone or something, and I wanted to see makoto rage this time cuz that’s when he feels human, the rest of the time… We know that he is turning into something else, and that he is passive and apathetic at times, but I thought he might show some stronger emotion at seeing his students hurt, even if he know they are alive. I just wanna still feel makoto as human, and not some emotionless monster, he can be a badass while also having emotions you know? So I hope he shows some in later chapters, or better in the next, and while at it gives a good fuck to mio and tomorrow XD

    1. I think the point is exactly that he’s become (or reverting to) some kind of emotionless monster.

      Makoto’s humanity has always been…lacking. Never got an official explanation as to why, but he’s definitely sub-human in as many ways he’s superhuman.

    2. yea, makoto are becoming less and less human, athena already said it, in halfway their sparring she felt more like going against a machine than living being

      tomoe also said it, makoto aren’t really attached to his student, and actually, shiki, a lich, are more attached to them than makoto, he actually quite calm and accepting at the prospect of one of his student becoming trashmoki sex dolls in her future back then

      for me, his apathy and discrimination toward hyuman are what defines makoto compared to other isekai mc

    1. What’s wrong? Its not like these sisters love makoto right? And even they love him, its not like they’ll accepted into the harem.

      1. I wonder what initiation would be to be accepted in the harem as being his follower require them to seriously fight Makoto .

  20. “If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.”
    HOT DAMN!
    There you have it folks, Makoto the (soon to be)god killer is finally here!

  21. Thanks for the chapter…

    If she really broke the charm and labelled as act of rebellion by the country because she attacked Kanoi not under charm … and she will be executed because of that … I hope Makoto will pity her and take her to Asora or become Kuzunoha’s employee … Sairitz pretty much cannot refuse Makoto/Raido’s demand after knowing about the truth of Makoto/Raido. (well… thats what I want really to see)

  22. Did Reigokai ever say why he wouldn’t go ahead and translate the rest of the Extras/POV chapters? It hasn’t been touched for a long time by ZenithNovels so…. might as well tease us with that right? Hell, could even throw it as sponsored chapters. I know I would throw money at that.

  23. how come these chapt have a cliffy feeling now a days?

    so, haruka is just using a charmed status as a excuse to go outside? what kind of a woman is she anyway? seemed like a battle-maniac like sofia again isnt it?

    maybe haruka see tomoki as a likeable person compared to his husband if thats the case if she got immuned to the charm. Well that gonna be a big F.U. to me if there a woman liking trashmoki though.

  24. “If you want to win against me, immortality is not enough.”

    ‘Misumi Makoto – 2018’

    Fucking hell I jizzed my pants when I read that. Badass Makoto is badass.

  25. Thanks for the Food. So Lime and Levi’s attacks weakened the charm to some extent and Makoto’s Needle was(the last nail in the coffin) enough to completely dispel it? Her attitude when she was fighting with the School Kids was kinda different when she was fighting Lime and Levi. Did she snap out of it but then saw the destruction she did to her country which guilt tripped her, If yes then she is just waiting for someone to stop/kill her.

    1. Agree~ i think your speculation seem plausible, oh and also maybe she wanted to help iroha and makoto student grow stronger by fighting her and survive…, Cause seem like she is waiting them using all their power and take them on, like u know, when makoto train them, use all your power until none then kinda power up…
      Even makoto agree on that point….
      —-
      Osakabe Haruka tried to receive everything that Jin and the others brought out.

      She was trying to bring out their power as she hurt them to an extent where she wouldn’t kill them.

      A delicate job that required the highest of care.

      Their anger, bloodthirst, and the many miracle-like techniques that these young group of talents were giving birth to; she received them all and crushed them.

      That’s how it looked to me. —

  26. The moment her abilities were revealed, I kinda though she should be able to undo Tomoki’s ability. I wasn’t that wrong, eh?

    Anyway, It is safe to assume I fucking want to know what happens next. Should I beg for another chapter? I know it will come but the begging is to just get it now, at this very moment! 😛

      1. He doesn’t have to borrow as he owns it. But as far as we now, there is no hint that he did get to control her powers properly (not that I remember).

  27. So if memory serves me right, Haruka had to ‘retire’ due to political issues rearing their filthy heads. If, and IF Haruka did actually break/eventually became immune to Trashmoki’s charm, and just wanted to have fun breaking things again, if Makoto’s conjecture of her leaving his students alive is correct, then that’s one hell of a way to go about it. In that sense, she’s surprisingly simple-headed. Kinda like Saitama looking for a good fight.

    Also, this: “due to the power-up of Tomoe’s illusions, it seems she can even interfere with the boundary between life-and-death.” Did that dragon seriously go and turn Tomoe into Yukarin?! WTF.

    Thanks for the chapter Rei-sama!

    1. just hope Tomoe wont have the personality of the lovely old hag Yukari from Touhou….. if it does…. well…. there will be lots of trolling in Asora (and maybe Asora and Gensokyo got connected and we got inter-dimensional troller on the loose , aint nobody got time fo dat)

  28. There we go.
    Everytime a new enemy appears he/she has to be immortal. Sure that’s an easy way to drag a fight on.
    Also Haruka fits in no way into the world building. Apple is one thing but she is ridiculous. What does the author wants to say ? That this woman is not only an extemely rare rebound person but she also has many rebound abilities at that with immortality and all that stuff and thus is likely as strong as a half god ?

    If we compare her to other people in this world, she should be able to conquer the world without struggling. She should even be able to stop the demon war but is not even participating in it?

    That’s just bad writing to continue the plot in some way.

  29. Thanks for the chapter nice to have a break from the usual cliffhanger, now if Haruka-san really isn’t charmed need to wonder what’s she really up to or thinking

  30. The “Wings of Saint” granting abnormal status immunity should have nullified Trash-moki charm ability.
    And by the last line she has freed herself from the charm yet she’s still acting mentally glued to the ﹰTrash.
    I must admit my confusion about the situation.
    I reallllly wanna good explanation. Like, now. But I shall impatiently wait for the next installment. 👀
    Thanks for the chapter 😁

  31. Thanks for the chapter reigokai-sensei…
    Nice act makoto, go be more badass XD…
    I couldnot think any reason for her to anleash her bloodthirsty so ithink she is crazy lol…
    So i think there is no reason for makoto not wanting to knock her down… Maybe kill her

  32. thanks for the chapter

    if the Wings of the Saint healed her, is she a tiger mother that made a war solely to make her daughter grow?

  33. Thanks 4 the chapter!
    Hopefully she’s not one of those people who were never defeated and wanted to taste defeat at least once.

  34. Thanks for the chapter, so now we have a monster vs an eldritch horror. I have my money on the eldritch horror. Those wise abilities seem a bit over the top honestly.

  35. Makoto spewing badass lines really got me. Made 2018 glorius now.
    Also i feel charm was broken by lime and levi’s attacks and after that she was just playing/testing the kids to see their powers. And now she wishes raidou to somehow kill her i guess? That sounds pretty plausible to me.

  36. Thanks for the chapter!

    I think Tomoe’s ressurect is a temporary one since she is utilizing her illusions, and that the ressurected ones would only remain until she leaves.

    Also, with Haruka’s battles going full throttle but she never once got a full heal during those times, I think the only time her skill activated was when Makoto attacked her… and that Makoto just didn’t realize that she broke free of the charm due to him because he only analyzed her after the first attack.

  37. Thanks for the chappy~
    Ill place my cards on Makoto’s victory since he didnt enter that “battle mode” yet (where the annihilation of the target is pretty much certain)

  38. It could be that history is orienting itself to this woman becoming the fifth servant of Makoto?.
    Think about it. Age would not be any problem. All of Makoto’s servants are much older than him and on the other hand. If Haruka makes the Master and servant pact with Makoto, her appearance would also change in the same way as Tamaki (remember that she already had a human appearance).

    So, if they made the covenant we would have a younger and sexy Haruka as the fifth servant of MC.

    1. No plot ??? Is true that there are some chapters where is just boring talks…..but plot are a lot…..

      You want that Makoto go to kill the goddess ?

      1. anyone can make a Pact with him , it just there’s rarely people that have the power to match him , it doesnt matter the race, it just that their power level since Makoto power right now is so high it almost break into the God’s realm

      2. Umu, thank you, look like my memory doesn’t serve me right……why? memory, why? you’re with me since, since……….You!! you betray me again!!! (╬ Ò ‸ Ó)

      3. Sorry, I can’t edit my comment ^^;

        found it XD

        “A ruling contract, it’s one of the contract magic that is used by the proprietor to make a pact with a demon beast or a mamono or even a low level spirit.”

        yep, it not say Hyuman, Demi human and Demon can’t make a pack with him =_=;

        1. That doesn’t really explicitly say it’s impossible for demi-humans or hyumans though.

          All I gathered from this is that this was the “intended purpose”. There’s nothing to say you can’t actually use it that way-it would just be considered as unethical as treating someone like an animal.

          And even if the magic has that sort of limitation, I’m pretty sure it can be modified to enable it. If, hypothetically, Makoto met a hyuman or demon that was within his realm of power and both agreed to form a pact, I don’t see some kind of technical reason like “the pact can’t affect these sorts of beings” being a big deal to Kuzunoha.

          …Oh! Wait! Wasn’t it already explicitly stated that Zef was a candidate to form a pact with Makoto before? Yeah, I think it was discussed in the dream that showed us a timeline without Shiki that ended in Makoto siding with the demons as the demon king and the goddess killing his wives. I can’t remember precisely off the top of my head, but I think the conversation went something like:

          “Maybe if you had another follower, we wouldn’t have ended up down this path. But Mio and I might not have been welcoming of another woman, so it’d need to be a man.” (Ghost Tomoe)
          “Zef, perhaps? Root might have worked too, but he’s a little…” (Makothree)

          1. If my memory serves me rigth, the pact he did with Tomoe and all his followers depend greatly on the strengh of the participant, if the two sides making a pact are of equal strengh then they will be some sort of partners like a marriage, but since Makoto has had more strengh that everyone he makes the pact with they all are subservent to him. Now I don’t think that is limited to species or anything but totally dependant on strengh, I mean Tomoe a Superior dragon only contributed on a 20% in the contract when Makoto strengh was on the low sidede, by now I think she should be only contributing to an 10% and she is stronguer that she was before. I don’t think that Haruka has strengh enough to survive a pact with out some extreme power up like they did with shiki, and even there it would be a big if.

  39. MAKOTO WILL SHOW U DE WAY OF THE DEBAL, HE IS THE DEBAL HIMSELF. Even if you are not ready to know de wey, he will show you….he will make you ready for de wey, HE WILL SHOW YOU DE FOOKIN WEY.

  40. “It…couldn’t have been at the time when she killed Kougetsu-san.

    At that time, I thought we were too late, but due to the power-up of Tomoe’s illusions, it seems she can even interfere with the boundary between life-and-death.

    After reviving the whole unit, we have had them cooperate for the time being.”

    Everybody went crazy by Haruka being a villain…….and no one realised that Tomoe now have a power of God

    1. I interpreted this more as “with Tomoe’s new power, she can bend the definition of ‘dead vs alive’ a lot more.”

      Basically, even though Shougetsu and the bodyguards died, Tomoe was able to grab their souls before they could escape and pull it back into their bodies.

      1. well if interfere with death isn’t a power of God ,then what it is ?

        until now no one can do that even the gods not everybody can do that

        1. Is it such a big deal? Just like you said, even some gods can’t do that stuff. So clearly it’s not a qualifier for gods.

          I dunno…I feel like there’s still some kind of fundamental defining trait of “gods” in this story that we haven’t quite hit upon yet. Does being a god mean having overwhelming power? Does it mean being able to do something better peerlessly? We know Makoto is approaching it, but I still can’t quite grasp what the distinction between gods and mortals is.

          Even immortality doesn’t seem to be exclusive to gods, considering the Adventurers of Origin, Calamity Spider, and Superior Dragons.

          1. I mean ,Tomoe of course she is not a god ,but that new skill it’s a high level skill and seems like no one notice it .
            Immortality is not exclusive of Gods, but it have some rules with it for another beings ,like Tomoki can be immortal but just at night .

            But the thing is i believe That Tomoe’s new skill is really important ,that’s all thanks for answer me 🙂

  41. Holly craaappp! You need more than immortality!!
    Need to becoming greater than the goddess theen!!

    Btw thanks for the chapter

  42. Thanks for the chapter. I was kind of hoping the students would win, sort of like a come behind victory with a special attack never seen. In a way if they won then it would be in a way like graduation saying they make it on there own. Of course if they won then the group would have been disbanded. Makoto comes in like Superman and saves the day. It might that the author wants to the characters in the series longer together. Haruka is something, she has the power of an immortal and she becomes more powerful as she uses her powers or she is attack with something then her body adapts to the attack making less effective next time. Either Makoto is going to get real messy with the fight, cause her powers to overload, finish her off with a single powerful close range attack, or just subdue her and take her to get cure from brainwashing.

    1. Heh. Makoto really did give me a Superman vibe here.

      People fight tooth and nail to survive, and once Superman arrives, you know you’re in good hands so they collapse in relief.

      Makoto is the sort of person that’s “terrifyingly reliable” in every sense of the phrase.

      1. I kind of hope the next chapter he has a tough fight like the Superman series, maybe like have each of them make hit of each other and cause them throw them around the city.

  43. Married woman who has daughter, fallen in love with man without any perk and merit.

    Shes just blind and into shota. Litteraly a weirdo.muscle brain and battle maniac. You should met makoto earlier than tomoki, and you can fight him everyday.

  44. Woo! This comment is super delayed thanks to it being released the day before my flight, but here I am!

    So…Izumo and Co. have won. Quest complete! Successfully escorted Iroha to sensei.
    And they probably got a shit-ton of exp out of the deal too.

    Anyway, that was immensely satisfying. Makoto seems prepared to crush Haruka in the most perfect way. She’s using one absurd card after another, but Makoto is Makoto is Makoto, so…

    I wonder if there was some sort of secret plot in the background to get Haruka as strong as she does. Once again, it’s hard to say anything when our MC is Makoto, but getting that much power just out of sheer luck seems too unlikely for it to be an accident. Anyway, just surviving against someone that strong, holding back or no, does everyone proud of those kids.

    Not that this wasn’t true before, but Raidou-sensei’s students are definitely leaps and bounds above anyone in the academy by this point-probably above anyone their age, really.
    As long as Makoto doesn’t count.

    1. … How was the flight ? I hope you had an uncomfortable experience in that plane.
      It’s not like I bear a grudge to you for choosing a plane over a flying orca, but that’s what you gey for choosing a lower tier service provider. Just saying.

      1. The flight was great! I got peanuts, some orange juice, and a nice warm window-side view. 😀

        Ahh…vehicles. It’s like an animal ride, only you get an ergonomic chair instead of riding butt pains.

  45. Oh snap the title says that Haruka is resolved to do something but she did not kill the kids so what is she after?

    1. Haruka resolve could have been interpreted at the beggining to be a figth to the death with the monster (Makoto) for her love (Tomoki) pride or whatever, but after finishing it , it can be interpreted as the strengh of her resolve able to crush the charm that was infecting her.

  46. So let’s get this right, since a lot of people seems to not understand, about Haruka’s wings of the saint ability it activate when something is threatening her life or she is close to death and Makoto is telling us that she managed to get rid of the charm when fighting Lime and… (don’t remember her name, too lazy to look it up) meaning during the fight she got close to death and her ability activated saving her but also getting rid of the charm at least that’s how i see it. So yeah the charm isn’t life threatening or anything but it got erased as a freebie.

    1. Legit response… FINALLY!!

      I just realized there are ppl who view “charm” as “life-threatening”.

      It isn’t!!
      It only makes u a yandere…

  47. Hey there! Thanks for the chapter! Mow a question while we wait: I reread the gossip chapter 2 about Hibiki… they said Chiya should have been a sacrifice, but her party saved her? Totally different from Lorel’s current overprotectviness toward her…

    1. Limia kidnapped Chiya and was going to sacrifice her, but Hibiki prevented it. If not for Chiya clinging onto Hibiki, Lorel would have removed all of their support from the war effort.

  48. “immortality is not enough”

    i feel like i have heard this before……..i know it’s from a Manga

    can anybody help me think of a title?

    1. What’s the status for this story? Is it still being translated; it’s been like too months? Or has the author dropped the story, cuz I looked around other sites and they have the same amount translated.

      1. 1- The author simply hasn’t posted any new chapter of the web novel since this one. He is likely currently busy working on the light novel version, and he’ll post more web novel chapters when he’ll have time.

        2- You shouldn’t be reading this translation on other sites. Reigokai is the one translating it. Don’t read it on sites that simply steal his translation without permission. The least you can do is reading it here and comment to thank him for the translation.

        1. I never said i read it on other sites, I was just checking to see if it was Reigokai who dropped it or if it’s the author who dropped it, but I guess it’s neither; the author has just been silent. Tbh i haven’t even caught up, I am on C270 right now, but with what’s happening in the story and the amount of chapters left, I knew the story wasn’t finished, but due to the fact that being caught up and not knowing if the story is continuing or dead is such a suckish feeling, I thought i’d investigate first, and if it’s dropped then I drop it now with a poor excuse instead of reading up to the current chapter and dropping it unwillingly. But now I know it’s ongoing, and the author is just on an unannounced hiatus due to whatever reason, which I have no issues with, so I will just catch up on this story and start reading Reigokai’s other story while I wait for this one. Thanks for all the hard work Reigokai.

          On a side note, does anyone know if the LN for this story is being translated or not, even if it’s being translated professionally, I don’t mind buying the volumes.

  49. I find his stupidity really annoying seeing as he can do alot of hardcore analysis, I mean c’mon! He still wondering why and how she nullified Trashmoki’s charm when she explicitly explains already what her ability does, I mean it’s pretty much like a watered down version of doomsday’s get immune to whatever kills it ability.

    1. The issue is, she gain resistance only if it affects life.

      If u put it in layman then, it means status debuff that affect HP.

      So, it is not dumb.
      But more like, whether or not r u reading the chapter while internalizing all the given info.

      “charm”, even in games, does not affect “life”.
      It only affect “actions” one will take.

  50. Oh yeah, Reigokai, I just remembered, I think before you were looking at some series to start now that you’ve caught up to Tsuki, and I started reading this manga that is based on a light/web novel series that seems pretty damn cool. The manga is called “Almadianos Eiyuuden”, and even though it’s only five chapters so far, I really think it’s going to be good. No one is translating the novels yet, so I would definitely be willing to throw down a decent donation to get things started if you are interested. Just shoot me an email or I’ll watch for any replies here. I figure I could toss in $50 to $100 to get you started if you think it’s interesting and want to do it!

    1. Bro,

      Pls don’t try to be sly.
      Reigo San already took up “world reformation”
      I dun think that u don’t think that you don’t know it if u hav read the past few chapters of tsuki (since it was written at the top of some tsuki chapters announcing some news/update regarding the series that reigo San picked up).

      1. Yeah, that was awesome bro. You caught me slyly tip toeing into Reigokai’s room and whispering “translate my book instead”! Seriously, you think this was all part of my diabolical plan? Get a life. I just wanted to see if there was interest in something I think looks pretty sweet. Guess I’ve learned my lesson about abusively making polite requests of “reigo san”. Here, I’ll spot you an original thought since you couldn’t come up with a good one on your own…let Reigokai police his own board if he’s offended by my requests, comments, or the fact I eat trolls for breakfast. Later.

  51. Thanks and it made my day , thank you Sir. Have good sleep now ,and rest plus relax soon new chapter shall be expected 🙂

  52. Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu.
    I’ve been reading you since the beginning.
    Since the first chapter was translated more than 2 years ago.
    And then, I continued reading you story in your WN translated form.
    But now, with this whole useless latest saga, I call enough.
    Enough.
    Enough is enough.
    Enough of this bullshit.
    You were my favourite, even more than Shield Hero was, even more than Kumoko was (and still is, thanks god), you were always there for me, ready for me, several times a week.
    That’s why I favoured you over Kumoko. I could read you much more times than the other one. I started both of you almost at the same time, to fill the void Shield Hero left in me, and after that never-will-be-translated Spear Hero spin-off wasn’t able to satisfy me (because, as I said, it will never be translated), and then I fell in love with both. But, Kumoko was dropped for a while, and even after it was picked up again, the scarce translated chapters made me love it so freaking much, yes, but it was nothing compared to the twice or even thrice reading-a-week I could do with you. That’s why I choose you over that. I even read all the scattered translated spin-off chapters. I loved you so, so, so much.
    But then… That’s also why, that’s why I hate you so much now.
    Because for almost two years you were a great reading I could rely on. I could even rely on you even after the untranslated chapters ended, just like with Kumoko, I could wait for you forever, just like with Kumoko. But by the time we reached that, I already hated you to no ends. You fell so low, all those months ago. It’s been almost half a year.
    And now, I decided it was finally time to say it’s over.
    And so, this is a goodbye.
    Goodbye, Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, thanks for everything, but you ruined all of it in the end. Not as bad as Negima did all those years ago, but it was still pretty bad.
    Goodbye, my love.
    The day is gone, the day is gone.
    Thank you so very very very much to you, Reigokai, for translating all these chapters. I’m really liking World Reformation, by the way.

    1. Bro,

      Pls dun whine abt a series…
      If u intend to drop, pls fade away quite quietly.

      U r diminishing ppl’s mood.
      If someone, for instance, ranted abt ur fav TV show while u r watching it.
      Will u feel annoyed?

      Pls act like an adult (unless I make a wrong guess abt ur age group)

      BTW, tsuki is still one of my fav.
      Thank reigo

    2. Wut? So whether or not you like a series is entirely dependent on the regularity and the speed of its translation and releases, rather than for its qualities?
      And so, you find fault in a series and grow to hate it just because you caught up with the raws and that you have to wait for new content?(this applying for you for both Kumo and Tsuki.)
      And you find fault in Shield Hero because it has ended, and thus you now hate it?

      Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? was never dropped by the translators. Whenever a new chapter comes out, it gets translated either within the same day or the next. The reason for the irregularity in chapter releases of the web novel is because the author is busy writing the light novel version(which has several differences that lead to many things changing). Heck, rather than despise the author for the slow release of new web novel chapters, you should instead thank her to still continue making them instead of only working on the light novel. Plus, the web novel is fully free. She’s talked about it in her blog/forum(whatever you call the section of the web novel site in which the author can make blog-like posts to talk with the readers). She’s continuing to write it for 2 reasons. 1- Because she wants to finish what she started. 2- For the fans of the web novel.(Since the web version has increasingly bigger differences, due to ripple effects of the smaller changes, and will thus likely have either a different ending or the process toward the ending will be different.)

      Considering how your entire problem revolves around you catching up to the latest released chapters, and you not wanting to wait, I highly recommend you to stop reading series that aren’t complete. You should instead only go for series that have ended. Then, not only will your “problem” be solved, but maybe you’ll also start noticing that the value of a series doesn’t lie within the time-frame between its chapter releases.

      Oh, and do you not know how book releases work? It’s simple. When the author finishes a book, it is released. And then, for the next chapters you have to wait for the following book to be complete written. The only exceptions to that are weekly(/monthly/etc) magazines for comics and manga. Then, there’s the case of web novels released online, except that for those, while the chapters are released one at a time (instead of in several at a time over longer periods of time in the form of books), the author is still the one who chooses the frequency of the releases. And as such, not being tied by a company or a contract, if the author has some more urgent IRL stuff to do, or wants to take more time to write a chapter, he/she can do it.

      1. If you think about it, any written work will always be exposed to the world and judged as a complete story proportionately more than it will be as an ongoing narrative.

        It’s important that it’s finished at all, of course, but what’s 10, 20, 30 years of slow releases compared to the potential centuries people will judge the final product? Even if it fades into obscurity, we live in an era where information is forever, so it won’t truly disappear until the extinction of mankind itself, will it?

    3. You are being super overly dramatic. It’s at a level of a chuunibyou kid lol xD
      You also have unrealistic expectations and you seem to be developing a dependency on your fav stuff.
      But hey, live you life however you want…
      I’m sorry that we lost you as a comrade. Good luck in finding something that pleases you.

  53. Aaah, I have a theory. Haruka’s not pissed at Makoto because he slapped Trashmoki around, but because he didn’t finish the job.

    Think about it – Makoto tenderized Tomoki and Lily took advantage of that to start squeezing hypno juice out of him. As a direct consequence, Haruka’s been trapped as the sane woman in the asylum for god knows how long. And she’s been made complicit in the insanity because standing out as sane would mean losing a grip on her family. . . Or she’s just off her rocker.

    1. I agree that she is a sane person in an insane asylum but by choise. She wants war, but her husband is too soft, so she just pretends to be under trashmokis charm. The reason being is that her husband is still alive, and iroha was able to escape and roam around. Since she got the war she wanted im guessing she is trying to get iroha to go to a “safer” place so she wont get hurt while she goes berserk

      1. I think that she doesn’t want a wimp as her husband after she discovered all her abilities but since she was already married she couldn’t do anything and she just accepted it until the charm of the hero did something to her head and she decided to end this farce. And we must remember that in a previous chapter it was stated that Iroha wasn’t her husband’s child so maybe she discovered her love some where but for some reason she wasn’t able to divorce and go together with her dear one, maybe because of all the internal struggle in her family and so she thought that this was her best moment to eradicate all those who are against her marring that someone and so she yea maybe she is really blinded by love.

        1. Nice comment, i totally agree with u there, she is really blinded by love. And also eracating those against the marriage.

          And also she is soft, she did not kill raidou’s student.
          Even though she is a war maniac.

  54. No entiendo porque pero creo que makoto en realidad perdió contra tomoe o mejor dicho SHEN es su primera pelea porque cuando comencé a leerlo de nuevo encotre esto:

    Punto de vista de SHEN

    Actualmente, en mi lado derecho. Él estaba… él estaba allí. De ninguna manera. No importa que, dentro de la neblina debería ser imposible. Es verdad que se ha vuelto menos densa pero para el ser capaz de hacerlo… “Ahora que se ha convertido en esto usare mi habilidad de muerte segura…! (Makoto) Su mano empezó a ponerse roja. Él dijo una palabra verdaderamente peligrosa. ¿Q-Que esta… tratando de hacer? “!!Golpe de Rana!!” (Makoto) ¡Shoryuken! Dirigió su puño a mi barbilla. Entonces. “¡¡Vuélvete una ESTRELLAAAA!!” (Makoto)

    La mitad de mi cuerpo fue mandado a volar por su puño. Y solo como eso mi cuerpo se derrumbó en la dirección opuesta. En mi conciencia que apenas podía sostener. Incluso si aún no había perecido, Este era un abrumadoramente peligroso dilema. Que humillación. No me importara que métodos utilizare. Entiendo bien esto. En mi derrumbado estado, pretendí que había perdido la consciencia y comencé a buscar su localización dentro de la neblina. Silenciosamente respire una neblina que se usa para espejismos. Incluso sin Asora, mi poder no es tan simple. Mi verdadera naturaleza es espejismo. Puedo espiar en las memorias de mi objetivo, después de eso soy capaz de reproducir ilusiones que mis enemigos desean o no desean. Si hago una barrera de neblina profunda and vierto mi poder puedo hacer la ilusión incluso más real hasta el punto que no es diferente de la realidad. Por alguna razón no puedo arrastras este chico a Asora. Teniendo en cuenta esta repentina situación lo atrapare dentro de esta neblina y lo encerrare hasta que muera. No será bueno si es una ilusión que no le guste. Habrá problemas si forcejea. Mostrándole un ilusión que él desea, dentro de su felicidad el morirá de hambre. Hyumano, no importa que fuerte seas, con 10 días definitivamente morirás. Si 10 días no son suficientes entonces será 1 mes, incluso 1 año. Con mi nueva resolución investigare a los humanos. Pensar que tendría que hacerme el muerto y que tuviera que escoger una manera de matar que es como si intentara pagarle un favor. Con su espalda enderezada, el hombre respira. Pero esto es solo el pretendiendo. La neblina alrededor de él me dice que ese hombre no ha bajado su guardia. Que actitud. Y afilando despacio, el verifica sus alrededores. Y sin un poco de negligencia, el salió de la neblina. Esta vez seguramente, su cautela aflojara. Es algo normal. No hay duda que el salió de la neblina, ¡o eso piensa! ¡El no conjuro un aria! Ahora. El lugar donde esta es un escenario ‘fuera de la neblina’ que yo proyecte pero aun esta ‘dentro de la neblina’. ¡Puedo hacerlo! Abrí mis ojos! Y el hyumano salió fuera en una sola respiración. Como esperaba. Pensar que puede moverse a ese extremo. Pero ya es muy tarde. “Este es el final” (Shen) Inundando emociones creo un espacio cuadrado envuelto en una barrera de neblina

    1. El no perdio, esa pelea, fue un empate entre los factores que nos dan se muestra que Shen lo subestimo desde el principio, si el hubiese tenido más experiencia en aquel momento la hubiera podido derrotar sin problemas, pero como dije Makoto en aquella altura no tenia mucha experiencia asi que si Shen no lo hubiese subestimado pudo haber acabdo la pelea más rapido y llevarse la victoria. Luego cuando en el final quedo inconcluso que tanto el golpe final que el hiva a ejecutar pudo haber afectado a Shen, ya vimos que el fue capas de escaparse de la tecnica final de Shen que era la ilusion.

  55. lo entendiste mal el salio de la primera pero eso fue lo que el creyó en realidad esta atrapado en un sueño lucido que párese real creado por Shen ,en otras palabras puso barias capas para que bajara la guardia

    1. No me acuerdo bien tendria que releerlo, pero Makoto nunca salio de la ilusion, se dio cuanta que estaba en una ilusion, e iba a detonar una flecha con todo su mana activado, creeme la explosion hubiera detonado con Shen, acuardate que para esa altura el mana de Shen solo representaba un 20% de la capacidad total de Makoto, quiere decir que makoto estaba demasiado por encima de ella en question de energia, si el detonase un brid con todo lo que tenia, no ai ilusion posible que salvara a Shen, su dimension ilusoria no hubiese podido contener todo ese poder. Lo de su nivel sigue siendo un misterio porque ni siquiera Root que fue el que creo los estandares para medir niveles y esas cosas puede entender porque el nivel de makoto no avanza, incluso cuando sus meritos son grabados y el gana titulos gracias a eso.

      1. Te entiendo ,pero mi punto de vista es que lo atraparon en la ilusión 2 veces .La primera fue en su mundo y la 2 es cuando le mostró la ilusión que salió de él.
        Pd:perdón si te ofendí fui un poco explosivo me pasaron varias cosas en ese día.

        1. Que va hermano (o hermana uno nunca sabe), nada de disculpas que no me ofendistes en nada. Entiendo lo que quieres decir y no te dire que estar errado ni nada, solo que para mi el punto difiere, pero bueno voy a admititr que no estoy siendo objetivo pq soy fanatico a Makoto asi que eso tambien influencia en mi decision. Y la verdad tienes algo de razon pq el de hecho cayo en la ilusion, pero yo prefiero darle un empate. Ahora con Mio se puede decir que el perdio pq al final de cuentas el perdio el conocimiento antes que ella.

      2. Bueno yo era fanático de la línea harem de Tomoe y Mío pero cuando apareció shiki se sintió un poco raro su ambiente.

        1. HAHAHAHAHAHA, bueno para mi la inclusion de Shiki fue buena por que en vez de ser un harem de esclavas se volvio un grupo de sirvientes, sí el puede entrar en una relacion con Tomoe y Mio, pero no es necesario. Hoy en dia basta que el protagonista este en un grupo con mas de una mujer y de repente se vuelve un harem, a veces no es un harem y simpleente es un grupo, no es necesario que todos los miembros se sientan atraidos por el potra ni que este se sienta atraido a todas.

  56. ademas el malestar que siempre nombra su nivel que no sube y otros aspectos mas si lo leen de nuevo te darás cuenta de las incoherencias

  57. also the discomfort that always names its level that does not rise and other aspects but if you read it again you will notice the inconsistencies

  58. Did the author drop another chapter or two yet or are they completely stalled out and unable to come up with anymore fake ass ways to progress everything in the story world magnificently while keeping Matoko an unloving, unchanging, never learning or growing retard? I used to complain that Makoto is an unrealistic character, but now I’ve been thinking and I’ve realized it the more I read. I love some isekai stories and I hate at least a certain part of even more them. But the ones who are truly spineless and neutered are the authors who are trying soò hard to write within those stupid regulation guidelines as if there’s no way for an underage kid to buy a book in Japan…lol. Come on authors and publishers…recognize the wild success of arifureta and moushoku tense, both of which have relatively early relationships formed and even sexual relationships happening. God I pray to the physics of creation that this author too will allow Tomoe, Mio, and any of the others that truly feel love for him to eventually end their suffering of being ignored. Whenever I see their I teractions and the way they portray these men as ignorant and fearful of women, I can’t help but be reminded that the opposite of love is not hate…it is ambivalence, it is avoidance it is the pain of th one you love not even noticing you.

    Hey Reigokai…keep up the excellent work my man, although I may moan and deride the author or Motoko, never misunderstand, without your hard work that important part of my life where a story exists that I love enough to write my complaints about it online wouldn’t be.

    1. While I can get what you’re saying about Makoto, I feel like I’ll give the author the benefit of the doubt here because of just how detailed the world is.

      This is a very intricate story, with many moving parts and probably more story threads not seen than seen overall. I don’t even mean the “Mind’s Eye Allegories” that were clearly written with something in mind that we’re just not seeing the full picture of either.
      From Zara’s past, to Asoran resident daily life, to future plots by the two Hero’s sides, to whatever is going on with Earth’s gods, this stuff is all definitely “happening” in the author’s mind-and naturally, the canon-that we’re simply never shown due to her writing style. This is why I’m more likely to believe than not that Makoto’s entire “Moon-led Journey” has already been more or less planned out and it’s mostly a matter of execution or working in new inspired ideas now.

      Even if Makoto is unrealistic, I doubt the issue is that the story is stuck because of him. Makoto is steadily progressing and changing in many ways, even if it’s not in a very human way. The rest of the world around him is also moving along smoothly.
      If the stall is a narrative issue, I have to imagine that it’s in the form of the author trying to make sure everything lines up “according to plan”, rather than dealing with “what now”.

      1. …Oops. I got so worked up, I forgot to address the main point in your original comment.

        Makoto’s relationships are heavily explored. Between him and gods, him and natives of this world, him and his followers…That’s basically what the whole story is about. It’s just that affection and sexuality aren’t one of those featured relationships. And this makes sense, because Makoto is someone that seems to have a genuine mental block against intimacy and attachment-certainly more justified than those shitty harem protagonists that do nothing. He is “naturally unnatural”, you could say, and it works for the eldritch thing he has going on.

        Whether that makes him a well-written or poorly-written character is up to you, but I’m personally waiting with disinterest towards him until I can see the ultimate goal the story has for him.

        Also…I might be projecting a bit here, but “sex sells” isn’t really a mentality I would welcome as an author working out a large-scale story like Tsuki ga. I write a story to tell a narrative that I wanna tell, and if sexual activity doesn’t suit it, then it’s not welcome. If you do that, then you’re more likely to get a third-rate fanservicey story than anything of substance. Mushoku Tensei aside, Arifureta is one of those story I would really, really not want my story to be compared to.

        Admittedly, if it’s done well, sexual maturity can certainly be executed as a theme that makes a story better for it…but this story is not one of them. A story featuring one of the other Heroes would suit that style more.

        The major theme of this story is Makoto’s steady and careful, yet chaotic and ominous, maturation. Whatever the endgame is, Makoto’s presence makes writing that way unsuitable for this story so far. If it’s going to happen at all, it’s going to be used as a marker for how far Makoto has progressed, nothing more and nothing less.
        Again, I’ll defer to opinionated discussions on whether or not this actually makes him a “good character”.

  59. All excellent points, and as much as I gripe, I am still waiting with baited breath for more, but I don’t think the story would lose anything if after almost two years in this world he gave some love back to Tomoe and Mio who want to be loved so badly. As I said before the opposite of love is not hate, but dispassionate neglect and antipathy. That is basically how he responds to their romantic feelings. To me that is an extremely cruel act. I would never do that to someone who loved me, and I would hate it if someone did it to me. If he really cherishes them as family, he needs to pay attention and respond in some way to their feelings, or else just cut them off if he can’t even face them as a man and say yes or no. Now I realize that this point was just made clear to him before he came back to the current shit storm, but it’s not the first time he’s been told something of the sort…its the second time. So right now I am keeping all of my fingers, toes, arms, legs, hair, and eyes crossed in the hope that when this fiasco ends he won’t just forget about what he was told and what he realized, but rather that he will begin to stand as an adult, just like even his own students have begun to do. Just look at how cool and manly Izumo looked these last few chapters, recognizing his feelings instantly, facing them head on without embarrassment, standing tall and fighting for what is most important to him, and in the end even ready to die for it. That is what it means to love another. It is to be ready to give everything for them if necessary. I pray to see something like that from Makoto for Tomoe and Mio who I have grown to love myself as important companions in this precious story. To hope!

    1. Hey @M4L4DD1CT10N I think that what you are looking for in Makoto is something that it has never been there, and problaly won’t be in the near future. Besides we need to see things from Tomoe and Mio POV as well, for them what he has given them is mutch more that what they could have asked for enoguh that they are content in their current situation. Of course we see that they have plans for more but neither is in a rush for that, even Mio threw away her oportunity by expecting things to actually star from Makoto side, him just embrcing them now with out truly feeling like he wants to or desire would be an even bigger insult to the two of them. He doesn’t recognize love at this moment, he even has problem recognising his lust as well. He needs time to develope that side of him, and having plans to figth a God and stabilize interdimentional travel should have his mind full enough that sex and love should be a minimal aspect on him.

  60. Reigokai thanks for translating this! Im sure you are as starved for more tsuki as we are so until a new one is released i will be re reading the whole story. Again. For the 10th to the 10 power lol jk for the 20th time.

  61. So has the author put out anymore tsuki chapters. Cause the focus of reigo just releasing WR, which I’m not even interested in, is disheartening. I really hope tsuki will someday be completely written and translated. Anyways hope this is just the author not releasing any chapters since 295 came out.

      1. I second that. Please add the extra chapters to you translation list. I don’t mind at all if you don’t prioritize them, but please translate one of the untranslated ones from time to time.

  62. Radio silence is always concerning. So, I went through the raws to find the author’s twitter and checked it out. The last actual tweet was Jan 4th. The next piece of activity is a retweet on Feb 2nd followed by one on the 4th, but that’s all that they did. For someone who appears to be quite active on Twitter, one full month of inactivity means that something may have happened to the author relating to their health or possibly other private issues. Of course I’m only speculating here, but if I’m right, I wouldn’t expect any chapters for a while. If chapters do come soon, treat it as an unexpected surprise, otherwise, try to be patient.

  63. Sigh… I waited for a little more than a year and now I’m stuck in suspense once again. Oh well, thanks for the chapter anyways. I like how Makoto’s grown over the last few chapters. Also I really hope to see just where this battle is going and what Makoto will do next.

  64. Man i really wanna complain to the author
    I need new chapters……..
    If he wants to keep us waiting like this, i wanna ask for mio or tomoe love scenerio with makoto or that perv dragon will also be fine

  65. Lñ or wn if reigokai san can somehow manage to translate the side stories i’ll be fine with waiting for a months

  66. Hello again everyone, I’ve come back to relay some news after seeing that people are getting impatient. I checked the author’s twitter again to see that he did post on Feb 27th with a sort of status update and some other stuff. It seems that I was right. While I can’t read Japanese, through garbage google translate I can infer that the author has been suffering from health issues, caused by what I assume is a stress overload? and author said that they have been gradually recovering. I could be completely wrong because of bad translation so it’s best to check yourselves at https://twitter.com/AzumikeiWr if you can read Japanese. Have patience friends. o/

    1. You have my deepest gratitude and respect in this months I never had the idea to check on the author himself you have opened a new world, may god bless you and the author, oops forgot that even though we have pantheons of god here that literally work to their bones here our prayers won’t reach them🤔

  67. la parte que quiero leer es cuando el aparece de una niebla en un carro tirado por arkes y dispara una flecha y destruye un ejercito

    the part I want to read is when he appears from a fog in a cart pulled by arke and shoots an arrow and destroys an army

  68. thank you for the translations and the efforts you put into it. we were able to enjoy this story through your words. keep it up. fight!!!!

  69. Greetings and readings from a new fan of this series. I am saddened that my binge reading has lead me to a stop. I feel i just got george rr martined in da butt by the writer. Sigh.

  70. … it’s the first time for me that a translator catches up with the raw, I don’t know if I should be happy or sad

  71. the suspense is too longggg… it’s been 3 months ヽ( `д´*)ノ
    i hope the author release new chapthers soon (╥_╥)

  72. Thanks for the chap reigokai senpai~
    Will waiting for the time when new chapter out,fighting~ !

  73. Thank you so much for the translation, Reigokai-sama. This is my first web novel I read, any recommendation for Isekai type story? I love how this story characters development and the surrounding world explained.

    1. Well, you can start with World Reformation, which is also being translated here. It’s not technically an Isekai, but it has pretty fresh character interactions despite cliches.

      Besides that, you can probably count on the other big names that are recommended around. Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Rising of the Shield Hero, Kumo desu ga…

    2. Adding to the ones Psychronia mentioned, I would also add the following ones:
      Goblin Kingdom;
      Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita(I was a sword when I reincarnated);
      Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (Regarding Reincarnated to Slime);
      The Lazy King;
      Katahane no Riku;
      and also the web novel series(divided in several stories) written by Andur and posted on the RoyalRoad website.

    3. About the web novel series(divided in several stories that can be considered as story arcs of the series) by Andur that I mentioned in my previous comment, I recommend it to not only you(Yuki_N), but also to Psychronia and everyone else here. Here’s a link for the list/table of contents for those stories: https://forum.royalroadl.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=3091

      Here’s a small description of it:
      It’s a really well written web novel series separated in several individual stories that take place in a fictional multiverse and follow the same characters in several of their lives.

      (The mc keeps on reincarnating and each life we read about is in a world that’s really different from common generic fantasy world. Each world is unique. The main male mc is a mad scientist kind of character. Also, he doesn’t always remember his previous lives. In some of the stories he remembers hundreds or thousands of lives, in the other stories he doesn’t remember any of his previous lives(thus making it so that those are genuine first lives stories with only the reader knowing that the mc can reincarnate). It happens as such because once reincarnators reach a certain point their reincarnation cycle resets(but I won’t spoil the reason why it resets).

      The stories are out of chronology, but you’re supposed to read them like that. The order of release is the best order to read them in order to understand everything if you want the full picture.
      The names of the stories, in release order, are as follow:
      Until Death?
      Transcendence?
      Beyond?
      Coeus?
      Court of Souls?
      Agent of the Realm?
      Law of Shadows
      Body and Soul
      The Tale of G.O.D. (this one is still ongoing)

      Until Death is the core of the series and is necessary to be read to understand the full picture.
      Transcendence is the prequel to the entire series, as in the first to happen chronologically, and the plot of this one is linked to the plot of Until Death.

      Beyond, Coeus, and Law of Shadows are individual stories in which the mc has no memories of previous lives. Beyond is a fantasy setting, Coeus is a sci-fi setting, and Law of Shadows is a supernatural modern setting.

      Court of Souls and Agent of the Realm are a single story divided in two parts, and they are the sequel to the main story of Until Death and Transcendence. They also have elements that comes from Beyond and Coeus. So these should only be read if you’ve read all of those four prior.

      Body and Soul is another individual story, though this one happens somewhere before the events of Until Death and should only be read if you’ve read Until Death prior. This is a life in which the mc reincarnated as a woman, and he/she has memories of previous lives.

      I have yet to read The Tale of G.O.D. so I can’t comment on this one other than say that it’s a Sci-fi.

      1. Man you totally nailed it with Andur Works, so far I am still reading Tales of G.O.D, still good but pales in comparision with Cous?. Even so great job at the description of each novel.

      2. Thank you everyone for the recommendation. I will start my journey to web novel slow and steady. Reading this novel really changed my perspective on web novel in general, since I’m usually the type to say TLDR most of the time lol.

    4. Just comment if you like something crazy, try “Running away from the hero” and “Running away from the hero Remake”. It hella crazy with the devil MC and the yandere harem that he try so hard to run away.
      Plus, it’s Korean novel.

  74. January 6th…
    May 6th…
    Disgusting. I expected more chapters of TgM…
    Anyway, thanks, Reikogai!

  75. Thank God a new raw has been released! On a side note, if makoto is capable of removing the charm from people, why does he not do it? From the chapter when he fights sofia he states he can remove it from her, same with the three assassins that instigated the fight with Apple. If he can why not do it? it confuses me that he could have removed it from the girls and reinforced their resistance to it and send them back to well kill trashmoki, if he wants to be more like rembrant and stuff.

    1. That’s because it had just been applied to Sofia. In the case of the other ones, who have been applied that charm constantly just by being looked at by Trashmoki, removing the charm is no longer a viable option. After all, what the charm does is make you like trashmoki on an unconscious level. After all this time and after having basked in it for so long, they own subconscious, in an attempt to rationalize their thoughts, will start to believe that they like Trashmoki even without the charm.
      Then, there’s also how outright removing everything of the charm after so long might have drastic effects that break the person’s mind. With tons of confusion and heavy reactions to the memories of what they lived through while under that charm.
