WM – Chapter 107: Takatsuki Makoto participates in the victory party

A grand party that has been opened at the great hall of the Highland Castle. 

I have come to this place before.

The difference from before is that…

“Hero Makoto-sama! You have done a great job on this occasion!” 

“How about participating in the training of the Sun Knights?!”

“Please come to the Northern Sky Knight Order, too! Geralt-sama would be happy about that.” 

A lot of knights were surrounding me.

The Sun Knight Captains Ortho-san and Sutora-san, and their subordinates.

Also, I tried to talk with the Northern Sky Knights and they were unexpectedly open-hearted.

“A spell that wiped out that army of monsters all at once! What spell was that?” 

“Uhm, it is an arrangement of the Water Magic: Water Prison…” (Makoto)

“It felt like a completely different thing… A water giant that felt as if it could pierce through the clouds, it is my first time seeing something like that.” 

It is true that I as the creator also felt as if it were something completely different.

“Even so, where did those 5,000 old monsters come from…?” 

“Obviously, there’s only one place where there are still a lot of 1,000 year monsters still alive in.” 

“The northern continent…”

The Sun Knights were talking with complicated expressions.

The northern continent is called the demonic continent, and it is controlled by the demon race, right?

“Must be. And the one the monsters are obeying in that continent must be the Beast King, Zagan.” 

“One of the 3 Demon Lords ruling the Demonic Continent…the Demon Lord, Zagan, huh.” 

“The northern continent monsters don’t go out from the continent without the orders of the Beast King…” 

“Are you saying the Beast King has joined forces with the Snake Church?” 

“At the very least, there’s a high chance there was some sort of negotiation involved.” 

“…How problematic.” 

“Yeah. It might affect the Northern Expedition Plan.” 

It somehow turned into a complicated military talk. 

I separate from the knights and head to a table where there’s food.

The food of Highland is as luxurious as always.

“U-Uhm, thank you very much for before!” 

A blonde female knight turned her face away as she spoke to me.

Uhm, this person is the little sister of Geralt, Janet Valentine, was it?

Before? Did I do something?

I didn’t even get the chance to talk to her, she just went somewhere else.

What was that just now…?

After that…

“Good evening, Rozes Hero-sama. I am Sandra from the Rolland Household.” 

“Nice to meet you, Hero-sama. Want to talk with me over there?” 

“Hero-sama? Can you tell us heroic stories? And after the party, we could take our time in my room…” 

Noble ladies were talking with me a whole lot.

…I am not good with people, so I am not good at dealing with strangers talking to me one after the other…

{…What’s that?} 

{Takatsuki-kun is going all blushy blushy.}

{It is annoying me…}

I somewhat heard the voice of people I know.

Lucy, Sa-san, and Princess Sofia?

By the way, Furiae-san is absent.

“Want to go to the Highland Castle together?’, is what I asked and she said ‘Definitely no. But give my regards to Ryosuke’.

And so, I am currently flustered by the approach of beautiful noble ladies.

“Hero Makoto-sama, thank you for your laborious contribution in this time’s victory.” 

The crowd of people open up.

Princess Noel in an extravagant dress appears.

Sakurai-kun is by her side.

“Takatsuki-kun, I heard you defeated 5,000 1,000 year monsters all at once?” (Sakurai)

“And you defeated more than 100 Taboo Monsters, right? You must have had it rougher, Sakurai-kun.” (Makoto)

This is something I heard after.

There was a massive amount of Taboo Monsters attacking from the ocean side.

…The Snake Church went all out.

They were defeated by the Light Hero Sakurai-kun though.

“By the way, where’s Furiae…?” (Sakurai)

“Absent. She told me to give you her regards.” (Makoto)

“I see… Where is she right now?” (Sakurai)

“I think she is together with Fuji-yan at the inn.” (Makoto)

“I see… I will check later.” (Sakurai)

While we were having that conversation, Princess Noel cut in.

“Ryosuke-sama, you must not do that. You have plans later, right? Did you forget?” (Noel)

“N-Noel, but…” (Sakurai)

“You must not.” (Noel)

Princess Noel says with a smile and a peaceful tone, and yet, that voice of hers had a pressure that didn’t allow a no for an answer.

It sends shivers down my spine.

I feel like Sakurai-kun ain’t the one with the pants.

At that time…

“Hey there, are you having fun, Rozes Hero? Good job on your contribution.” 

The one who spoke suddenly to me with a haughty attitude is a tall man.

First Prince, Gaius Highland.

He entered the conversation all proudly and placed a hand on my shoulder with a grin.

“If you want something, I will give it to you. How about it? Want to work under our Sun Country?” 

“…Huh?” (Makoto)

What is this old man (prince) saying?

“P-Please wait, Gaius-sama! He is the Hero of Rozes!” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia jumps in.

“Princess Sofia, I think that his talent should be put to better use in a large country. How about it, Hero Makoto? Fame, wealth, women; I will give you anything you want. It won’t be comparable to the Water Country. Doesn’t sound bad, right?” 

“Hero Makoto…” (Sofia)

“…Uhm…” (Makoto)

What a pain.

I want to refuse, but I have a past offense in the Laberintos City.

How do you refuse on these occasions without making it sound rude?

“Don’t do that, Gaius-anisama. Makoto-sama is the person that might be engaged to Princess Sofia, you know?” (Noel)

““Eh?””

Princess Sofia and I raised voices of surprise at the same time.

“It looks like that’s the first time those two heard about that though…” 

First Prince Gaius says in amazement.

“The Oracle of the Goddess and the Hero coming from another world getting together and saving the world. You know about that oracle of the Goddess, right?” (Noel)

Princess Noel says this with a gentle expression.

What’s that?

That’s the first time I have heard of that.

“Hmph, that’s about the Light Hero and you, right? Well, fine. Rozes Hero-dono, I will send an official envoy at a later time.” 

Gaius leaves the place in a bad mood.

“Princess Noel, Princess Sofia, I heard that the Hero Makoto-sama there is the Guardian Knight of the Moon Oracle. If the Moon Oracle were to cause a rebellion, I would be uneasy with the military force of the Water Country.” 

The one who appeared next was the Prime Minister.

“I wonder about that. How about having the Rozes Hero-dono live here in the Highland Castle?” 

“T-That’s…” (Sofia)

Princess Sofia was objecting flustered.

I am beginning to read the situation a bit here.

They want to put a reason one way or another to keep us here in the Sun Country.

I have heard that Highland tries to gather as many useful people as possible, and that seems to be true.

I want to help Princess Sofia, but I have no idea about the rules when negotiating between countries…

I listened to the conversation of the big shots for a while and…

“Oi, Spirit User. If you are in the Highland Castle, why aren’t you coming to my place?” 

“Great Sage-sama?” (Makoto)

The Great Sage-sama suddenly appeared! 

The Great Sage-sama tapped my shoulder and the people closeby took a step back.

{The Great Sage-sama appearing in a public place like this?} {Even though she hates crowds. This is rare.} {This is the first time I have seen her so up-close.} {What an unbelievable presence.}

Looks like it is rare for her to appear at places like this.

“Fumu, a celebration for the battle of before, huh. Making such a big deal from a war of that level.” 

“Great Sage-sensei…it is rare for you to show yourself in a place with this many people.” (Noel)

Princess Noel speaks nervously. 

“I felt the presence of the Spirit User-kun, you see.” 

“I thought about going later.” (Makoto)

The Great Sage-sama looked around with arms crossed while still looking like she was in a bad mood.

Her whole body is floating in the air.

“Getting ahead of yourselves just because you did a bit well. Oi, you are probably getting tempted by nobles, but don’t go throwing away your precious virgini—” 

“Hey!” (Makoto)

I hurriedly cover the mouth of the Great Sage-sama.

What are you saying in a place with this many people?! 

{Oi, don’t cover my mouth. I can’t talk like that.} 

{Don’t say weird stuff!} (Makoto)

{What, you should take pride in your virginity.} 

{As if I can! I won’t be giving you anymore blood!} (Makoto)

{Muh…that would trouble me.}

You understand now?

That was dangerous.

It seems like she doesn’t appear much in front of people, so she might have lost her common sense…

“Well then, I will be waiting.” 

“Yes yes, I will go later.” (Makoto)

“Definitely, okay?!” 

After saying that, the Great Sage-sama used teleport to disappear.

What a troubling person.

““““““……””””””

By the time I noticed, all the people in the venue were looking over here.

Princess Noel, the Prime Minister, the nobles, the sacred profession people, knights, the people doing their jobs in the party.

Even the King at the seat of honor had his mouth wide open.

…Why?

“Takatsuki-kun…you are really close to the Great Sage-sama, huh.” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun speaks to me nervously. 

“No, I wouldn’t say close.” (Makoto)

I am simply giving her my blood every now and then.

After that, people who spoke to me at the party went down drastically.

Really, why?

It is fine by me since strangers stopped talking to me and I was feeling more relaxed now though.

◇◇

“Good evening~.” (Makoto)

Since I had nothing to do after the amount of people talking to me had decreased, I went to the Great Sage-sama’s place.

Lucy and Sa-san were talking to the 3rd and 4rd Division of the Sun Knights and the Southern Sky Knights that they fought together with, so I came here alone.

“You are late!” 

When I entered the residence, the Great Sage-sama was lying on the sofa.

She is still in a bad mood it seems.

“Sit here.” 

“Okay…” (Makoto)

I sat by the side of the Great Sage-sama.

“Alright.” 

“Eh?! Wait, Great Sage-sama?” (Makoto)

The Great Sage-sama straddles  my lap facing me.

Of course, it ended up with us facing each other at an incredibly close range.

The red eyes of the Great Sage-sama, her white skin, and her young face were approaching me.

Her cold breath hit my face.

“Oi, support my back. You are inconsiderate.” 

“Okay.” (Makoto)

(This selfish Great Sage-sama…) (Makoto)

I mutter this in my heart while wrapping my arms around the back of the Great Sage-sama.

She is light.

“Fufu, time to dig in.” 

My neck was bitten.

I am getting used to this pain already.

I can hear the gulping sounds of the Great Sage-sama in my ear.

I had nothing to do while the Great Sage-sama was drinking, so I rubbed her back.

(What a small body…) (Makoto)

But the mana I can feel from her is overwhelming.

She looks as if she were 10 though.

A legendary mage that has been alive since more than 1,000 years ago.

(I can’t see that…) (Makoto)

I put my hand on top of the Great Sage-sama’s head and pet it.

“!” 

The Great Sage-sama raises her head with a surprised expression.

Her big red eyes were wide open as she looked at me.

Oops, was I rude?

She is a big shot of Highland.

Did I make her angry?

But judging from her expression, she doesn’t seem to be angry.

“…Continue.” 

She said in a low voice that I couldn’t pick up at first.

“What?” (Makoto)

“…Continue petting my head.” 

“O-Okay.” (Makoto)

I continued petting the head of the Great Sage-sama with her on my lap for a while.

Looks like she liked it.

I continued getting my blood sucked.

Is she charging extra here?

On this day, my blood was sucked more than normal.

I felt a bit anemic.

On top of that, this is the residence of the Great Sage-sama.

I lowered my guard thinking there wouldn’t be any ‘enemies’ coming.

Maybe that’s why…

I didn’t notice the people entering the room until they got close.

“T-Takatsuki-kun and the Great Sage-sama?! What are you doing?!” 

Sakurai-kun shouts in surprise.

“Eeeeeh?! Sofia-san, you must not look!” (Noel) 

“E-Eh? Noel-sama, did something happen?” (Sofia)

Princess Noel was there covering both of the eyes of Princess Sofia.

(…Eh?) (Makoto)

Looks like a big misunderstanding has happened here…

  2. Thanks for the chapter!
    Lol! Charm magic for the win!
    Makoto became popular in an instant!
    You have lots of explaining to do with Great Sage, Makoto. Hahahaha!

  3. Did Great Sage just openly lay a claim on him in that party? I can understand why all the highland nobles backed off given their respect of her.

    1. I would say less respect and more deep deep fear. like you wouldn’t just try to steal a fish from a shark, would you?

      1. Not laying a claim. More like, would the king himself be willing to cover the mouth of the great sage or would she kill anyone that did that. They were expecting Makoto to become bloody chunks.

    1. The kind where you walk in on two people exchanging bodily fluids in what might be referred to as a ‘sitting cowgirl’ position.

      1. …I felt kinda irritated that this is very much true as it is very much wrong and I can’t even refute it.

      2. The kind that if you saw a 10 year old doing this you’d be calling the police. Her actually being a 1000 years old undead monster/hero just makes it worse for Sofia in Noel’s perspective. But coming from the royal family that has her fiacee Sakurai in a hero breeding program, it’s easy for her to make worst assumptions about a hero hugging a cowgirling loli nawwing on his neck.
        🚨 FBI!!

  4. Demon lord zagan? His name sounds familiar…
    No no, he wouldnt bother w this world if he can flirt with nephy over there

    That said, makoto needs to understand women a bit from now on unless he will make many girls cry 😅

    1. We will probably have more demon names for the Ars Goetia like Bifrons, Balaam, Astaroth, Forneus, Barbatos, Baal, Zepar, Phenex.

  5. Thanks for the chapter~

    Aw, You two. You’re indulging yourselves in your own world.

    I wonder, why did the person who wants to talk to Makoto decreases a lot after Great Sage-sama appears and harassed Makoto. Ah right, maybe the nobles secretly knows that Great Sage-sama is a vampire?

    Also, would Great Sage-sama (damn, doesn’t she have any name or what xD) be mindlessly insult Sakurai about how ‘disgustingly’ he copulates with a lot of Nobles? I don’t want to think about Sakurai’s expression after that xD.

    1. Ahhh right, i forgot how ‘Great’ the Great Sage-sama is that its enough to make people don’t have any nerve to touch her possession

    2. Great nobles and royalty also know that she’s a vampire, so it might have been for other reasons, like knowing that she would destroy their house if they try to take his virginity.

  6. What a cliff, this is gonna be fun however short lived it will be. Unless of course Great sage sama decides to intentionally escalate the misunderstanding

    1. She’s a bored 1000 year old vampire everyone deeply respects/is terrified of.
      Probability of her intentionally causing a misunderstanding is high. If she notices after bingeing on Makoto’s blood. Lol

  7. Thanks for the chapter! And yay makoto, youre finally in your popular period! Though it was cut short due to the great sage but still, it happened for a while~ wonder if there will be rumours after this that makoto is the great sages lover? Atleast then no one will try to push him too much due to the backing of the great sage~

  8. In this chapter, it seems that the Great Sage has some affection for Makoto. I think using Makoto as a high quality blood pack is just an excuse to be with him. I mean, there is weird passage in chapter 55:
    “You sit here.”
    For some reason, I was told to sit by the side of the Great Sage.

    It seems that the Great Sage already had some affection for him even before knowing his blood is delicious because I don’t think she wouldn’t have allowed some unknown guy to sit beside her. Is there a reason for that or maybe is it just for his blood ? If it was just for his blood, it would be boring. What do you think of it ?

    1. Nah, vampires, at least in Japanese version, know well the smell of delicious virgin blood. But I can see Makoto might remind her of someone, *ahem* Abel the Saviour *ahem*, or someone she had crush on who might be, again, referring to that person.

    2. More like his indifference and his carefree attitude against her, even as otherworlder, is fascinating to her (partially thanks to RPG Player skill). It’s a stark contrast to every other people who put her into pedestal and gaze from afar with a tinge of afraid.

      Maybe it rekindles her long lost flame?

    3. The “you sit here” was so that his head was within arm’s reach of her. Her Super Appraisal works best with touching. Like charm works best with touching.

  9. I really hate the nobles of the Sun Country. When they’re not being racist elitists they’re instead being shameless. Only trying to either seduce Makoto or get him to stay in the country and pilfer him from Rozes just because he showed his power. Before they wouldn’t even give him the time of day. How exactly would these guys even be able to cooperate with the other countries for the Northern Expedition Plan anyways? The other countries must have a bunch of demihumans and commoners in the army (isn’t the Wood Country predominately elves?) so it feels like there’d be major conflicts that would make the expedition more likely to fail.

    The loli wants headpats so you damn well give her headpats Makoto. And now I’m expecting her to escalate the misunderstanding for the lulz.

  10. thanks for the chapter~!!

    and it seems like sakurai is still head over heels over moon oracle, i want moon oracle for makoto though

    1. If you follow the whole “syncronization=affection” theme that’s a high possibility of moon Oracle x makoto.

      Sofia sync with him = love
      there was the passage where he was gonna sync with nina and he opted not to because he would end up stealing her iirc.
      and hes now sync with moon Oracle to use rain as a medium.

  11. Thanks for the chapter.
    Come on, they are both clothed and she was facing his neck, it shouldn’t look as compromising as that time with the sleeping Lucy, age aside. At most it should seem like they are flirting while hugging.
    So the part about Noel pushing the marriage prophecy to Makoto and Sofia means that she doesn’t want to marry Sakurai-kun?

    1. Yeah, I kind of got that impression from Noel as well. It seems there was a prophecy they were trying to fulfill, so they broke her up with Geralt to make the obvious pairing. I could see her being less than enthused. Geralt seems like a jerkass, politically chose partner as well though. What I want to know is when this prophecy dropped, because why would you let your oracle engaged to a hero of this world when the prophecy specifies other-worlder?

    2. No, it means she does not want Sakurai to be with the Moon Oracle. Honestly, Noel is coming across as a bit of a chess-master, given this move is thinking about three steps ahead.

      If the prophesy refers to Makoto, then it means that Makoto will marry the Moon Oracle (since he is her Guardian and the Sun Oracle is already spoken for). But if Makoto is already engaged to Princess Sofia (remember, rumors were being spread about Sofia being engaged to a hero, possibly by Sofia’s mother), then it would mean that Makoto – and therefore the Moon Oracle – would be living in Water Country.

      This would place the Moon Oracle far from Sakurai, far enough to the keep the two apart long enough for the Moon Oracle’s charm on Sakurai to fully fade (if that is the reason he is so focused on her, which may or may not be the case). Also, Noel may worry that if Sakurai marries the Moon Oracle then she may lose her top spot in the harem, given that the Moon Oracle can charm all the other members into accepting her having that position.

      1. Moon Oracle is a possibility but Noel was talking about Makoto marrying Sofia, who is the water oracle. Your guess at her motivation is plausible, and there are hints that the past light hero may have run off after the past moon oracle. Noel really doesn’t want Gaius recruiting Makoto either way.

        (I thought the rumors were specifically that Sakurai and Sofia were lovers?)

        I agree Noel is calculating, but it seems weird for her to even broach the possibility of her not being the destined partner of Sakurai if she was all that into him. She still needs to marry him to be queen of course, and Furiae is a threat there. So I guess I agree with you, but think her motive isn’t jealousy so much as ambition or pride? Hope that makes sense, I’m a bit out of it.

        1. Yeah, Noel is definitely the hardest read of the cast so far.
          Sakurai is a well-intentioned pushover, Geralt is a hot-blooded idiot, Sophia has internal emotional turmoil loud enough for us to hear despite her being a kuudere outwardly, and Furiae is a half-shrewd survivor and half lonely innocent girl.

          She…I don’t see her being too into Sakurai, honestly. Geralt is on the table, but that’s optional. She seemed a little bitter towards Abel, and Sakurai probably reminds her too much of him. She’s playing the political game first and foremost.

  12. Thanks for the chapter~
    Conspiracy theory time! Why I feel like the Great Sage for some reason have a really high base affection meter. I mean it’s like the childhood friend in a visual novel. You don’t need to do a lot to get into her route.

    1. I also think it is the case. In chapter 56, the Great Sage behaves as she has already some affection for him:

      “You sit here.”
      For some reason, I was told to sit by the side of the Great Sage.

      1. The “you sit here” was so that his head was within arm’s reach of her. Her Super Appraisal works best with touching. Like charm works best with touching.

  13. I continued petting the head of the Great Sage-sama with her on my lap for a while…
    …On this day, my blood was sucked more than normal.

    – Well worth it!

    “Eeeeeh?! Sofia-san, you must not look!” (Noel)
    “E-Eh? Noel-sama, did something happen?” (Sofia)
    Looks like a big misunderstanding has happened here…

    – …still very much worth it!

  14. Kinda feels like the Great Sage has a bad reputation, doesn’t it? Or at least, she is feared.
    I bet that headpat reminds her of someone from ages past.

    Looks like the Sun Country has finally stopped looking down on Takki and instead going full opportunist mode trying to steal him away. They’re still pretty rude though.
    Sophia! Do a better job defending your man!

    My first instinct for shutting down those attempts at recruitment is to make the totally unreasonable demand of equality for the beastmen and devilkin, plus amnesty for Furiae. The former two are why this incident happened, and the latter one is why it didn’t succeed that well.
    As smug and persistent as the Sun Country is, that’s one thing the Water Country will have over it for a long time and they’re too racist to change.

    1. It was mentioned before that Great Sage is seen as basically one of if not the top of the kingdom. Like even above the king basically. The top nobility know the truth about her being a vampire but that just means they know she’s lived since the founding of the kingdom and basically been around protecting it and teaching people. So far we know that both Geralt and Noel have been taught by her. I’m sure she’s taught a lot of heroes as well as others over those 1000 years.

      Her looking like she’s laying a claim on Makoto here probably makes most of the in the moment attention seekers back off and second guess whether they want to potentially offend her if they are too pushy with him.

  15. MC can’t get away from this, muahahahahah. Good, I want to see him suffer sometimes.
    Thanks for the chapter.

  16. This chapter was funny and exciting. Thanks for the new chapter. All these women throwing in their hats and he’s still dense as a rock.

    1. Pretty sure the women has enough strength to push him down, he won’t be the man on top but the opposite.

  17. Thanks for chap
    Whole lotta doubts again.
    Why did all the nobles back off, even the king was shocked. Was there any unnamed taboo in place?

    Wondering if makoto is using charm magic unconsciously .

    Lmao the scene with a loli straddling him and their faces extremely close and mc patting her…….. *ring* *ring* “Hello FBI? Yes sir, right here “

  18. I will abide by my own judgement and say it out right, great sage will probably be the guardian of makotos virginity hence she would like her food to become poluted. right?

  19. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    Seems like succeeding in pulling the Great Sage to the party haven’t been done before. ^^
    And him acting casually and sending back this feared and respected person nobody dare oppose just mindblow the poor king! XD
    He must be now ranked as the most fearless man ever aside of being a powerful hero in their eyes.
    Must have been centuries if not a millenia since someone patted her, she missed it! XD

  20. Hmmm I’m still wondering if the charm magic is passive and if so how long until Furiae tells our boy how to turn it off lmao

  21. Ty for the hard work Reigokai sama!!!
    I am back at your blog after a year of been Missing in Action… I was waiting for some development in all your translations… I wish you luck… And I am back at my corner ….

  22. I know it is part of the plot, but why the great mage house doesn’t have a door? How other people can just enter without knocking or calling

      1. Well there is gods in that world so maybe they can make her an adult or human again? Maybe Noah can help her after all there is still no clue about what kind of god she is. The thing about the virgin blood of him being delicious sounds more like an excuse so he doesnt put his hand on other woman.

  23. Yeah, gonna be honest here, I probably won’t be happy with an end that doesn’t involve most of the leadership of this country being dead, or atleast toppled in some fashion. I would prefer it if the Sakurai ran off with the moon oracle and abandoned Noel. Geralt may seem bad from how he interacted with Makoto at first but they did say that this was a change in his behavior since he lost his fiance to Sakurai, I kinda pity him and he hasn’t shown himself to be fundamentally bad like the other nobles. The bad opinion many of us have probably stems more from sympathizing too much with the mc to the point we get overly sensitive to any slight against him, even though what Geralt did to him wasn’t anywhere near as bad as what other characters are doing to characters who are less important to the story. I mean, he’s rude and angry because of what happened but he hasn’t shown himself to be horribly racist or conniving. More so, he’s a student of the great sage so that’s probably hinting that he’s actually a decent person who’s worth spending time on. So, I’d like to see him get back together with Noel and for this whole political ploy that the Sun country is trying to pull to just fall apart.

    1. I mean, I’m sure that’s the direction we’re going with Geralt, but let’s not forget that he regularly threatens and bullies Leonard, talked about forcibly taking Takki’s companions as concubines, and outright declared he would murder him.

      That’s…beyond just “bad first impression because of our perspective character”. The sky’s the limit for the future, but I’m pretty sure you don’t end up like that just from a bad position or mood and he’s been just a spoiled powerful asshole throughout his life.

  24. Well, nothing wrong about being proud of being a virgin. Virgins are practically endangered species anyways. Maybe the red list could use updating.

    Heheh, people get nervous around someone who can just smother the Great Sage just like that. Also, the wonders of headpats. Seriously though the way they face each other is definitely too easy to misunderstand.

    1. Re-reading, now that I’ve noticed Great Sage’s hesitation when mentioning Makoto’s virginity the first time, I really can’t see what she did this chapter as anything but marking her territory.

  25. Thank you Reigokai for the translation once again.

    The Ancient Loli has been acquired! Excellent. Now let the misunderstandings ensue

  26. I wonder if she will continue to suck him off after he loses his Wizard Card…
    Or, will he even lose it at all during the novel? I wouldn’t be surprised that he “has” to stay a virgin forever for, well, reasons
