Getting locked-on
The self-introduction ended when Julius finished his, and after listening to the schedule for tomorrow and onwards, we were done for the day.
Tomorrow morning, we will get a tour inside the academy. After eating lunch, we will immediately have practical training at the indoor practice field.
There was no such thing as ‘Training Clothes.’ We were told it was because our uniform already has high-level defense due to the Enchantment Magic. Even if the uniform were to be damaged beyond repair, we will be provided with another one for free by the academy. By the way, the cafeteria in the academy and tuition fees are also free. This is also the same for the other three major Advanced Academies. Because it is beneficial to the Kingdom for the purpose of raising human resources, an appropriate yearly budget has been allocated. However, there is no obligation to serve the Kingdom after graduation.
Amazing, huh, this kingdom.
And, I had already finished modifying my uniform.
Fufufu, it turned out to be quite close to what I had imagined.
Originally, the uniform was already enchanted with ‘Magic Protection,’ Impact Mitigation,’ and ‘Anti-Fouling’ using the language of this world. Items enchanted with three effects are categorized as high-class among general magic tools. Usually, a magic tool only has one or two effects.
For those enchantment’s effects, ‘Magic Protection has an effect where it will ‘soften’ the impact caused by magic.
‘Impact Mitigation’ will ‘soften’ physical shock.
And, ‘Anti-Fouling’ will remove any stain sticking on the uniform. Since we’ll be wearing them as is during practical training.
When I confirmed those effects, I thought ‘Anti-Fouling’ was good as it was, while for ‘Magic Protection’ and ‘Impact Mitigation’, I thought it cannot be just that. For the effects just ‘soften’…
Thus, I ‘rewrote over’ the enchantment effects.
First, I stripped off the enchanted magic effects for the time being. What I meant by this is, the recorded characters, I carefully handled them one character at a time, used a specialized work wand wrapped in mana, and stripped off the characters one by one. I also made this specialized work wand myself. It wasn’t as though this process cannot be done with my fingers, but since it requires a delicate work and concentration, I didn’t do it that way. Doing that while trying to match the characters is absolutely impossible. Or rather, up until now, it seems no one has ever done ‘stripping off’ enchantment effects before.
If I were to say why this kind of thing is possible, it’s because I didn’t like an effect I previously enchanted, and I wondered if it was possible to undo it. So, I had experimented with various things.
When I imagined mana wrapping around the magic tool and characters floating up, first, the inscribed characters came floating up.
When I saw this, I thought that perhaps maybe… So I made a wand enchanted with ‘Magic Effect Nullification,’ and when I tried to trace one of the floating characters, the character disappeared. And when I tried to enchant the item one more time, I was able to enchant it again.
The face grandma made when I showed this to her was amusing.
The number of characters that could be granted on the blazer, shirt and slack was a total of 20 characters.
What is this made out of? It’s made from a considerably special fabric. Is the thread different? Since it was said that one could harvest various special materials from demonized animals, so perhaps maybe it’s the thread from a demonized spider… Uwa~ I should stop thinking about it.
Previously, when I made the Protection Suit, because it was made with a normal clothes and had 8 characters, I could only enchant three effects; ‘Stab-Proof’, ‘Anti-Magic’, ‘Anti-Shock.’ Even so, it was good enough for practical use. However, maybe because the effects were abbreviated when being inscribed, the effects were not able to fully manifest perfectly.
[T/N: 《防刃》 → Stab-Proof (2), 《対魔法》 → Anti-Magic (3), 《対衝撃》 → Anti-Shock (3) = 8 characters]
So the enchantments, this time, are: ‘Absolute Magic Defense,’ to replace ‘Anti-Magic.’
‘Anti-Shock’ and ‘Stab-Proof’ is replaced by ‘Complete Physical Impact Absorption.’
Together with this, the originally enchanted ‘Anti-Fouling.’
Plus the newly added ‘Auto-Heal.’
With this, the total is 20 characters.
[T/N: 《絶対魔法防御》 → Absolute Magic Defense (6), 《物理衝撃完全吸収》 → Complete Physical Impact Absorption (8), 《防汚》 → Anti-Fouling (2), 《自動治癒》 → Auto-Heal (4) = 20 characters]
Enchanting ‘Absolute Magic Defense’ was particularly hard.
My image couldn’t catch up with the inscribed characters.
Because the words ‘Absolute Magic Defense’ means to defend against all magic, the effect should be able to defend against all. But for ‘Fire’ and ‘Water,’ the defense methods are different. I couldn’t imagine how to ‘defend’ all, and so I failed to inscribe the words many times.
I was quite troubled on what to do.
When grandma looked at me being troubled, she was watched me with a very worried look.
And then, from a certain change of idea, I finally succeeded in inscribing them.
That image was ‘Magic Dispersion.’
I enchanted the image where it extends a mana barrier to wrap around the uniform, and when an invoked magic touches that barrier, that magic’s mana will be dispersed.
Up until that point, I was imagining a ‘Hard Wall,’ but it didn’t go that well. And so, instead of ‘Stopping,’ I thought of what will happen if the mana, which is the building block of magic itself, is dispersed. So when I tried experimenting on that theory, it was properly invoked.
The moment I succeeded, I shouted with a loud voice.
And grandma came flying over.
‘Complete Physical Impact Absorption’ also has the same principle. Rather than imagining ‘Hardness,’ when I imagined the ‘Dissipation of Kinetic Energy,’ the enchantment was inscribed successfully. The moment a moving object hits this uniform, its movement will be stopped as if completely ignoring the laws of physics; that kind of movement honestly gave off an unpleasant feeling. But as an armor, it is the best, though.
‘Anti-Fouling’ has the image where it memorizes the original condition of the clothes, and removes all other foreign objects sticking on the clothes.
For ‘Auto-Heal,’ the image is where it recognizes wounds and fractures, and activates when it detects those injuries. It then gathers cells from other parts of the body and temporarily changes them into stem cells. Those stem cells then restore the parts in need of mending and returns them back to their original condition.
That is why, when ‘Auto-Heal’ activates, the body becomes slightly thinner.
By the way, the effect would only manifest for causes that can be treated surgically.
Although it looks like the defensive equipment is invincible at a glance, but there are two major flaws.
First, only the areas covered by the ‘uniform’ are protected. The face, hands, and feet are defenseless.
Second, the enchantments won’t activate from the start if one doesn’t supply it with mana.
The first flaw can be compensated up to a certain extent by automatic healing enchanted on the uniform.
For the second flaw, in the first place, the enchantments will activate when one were to use magic.
I think it won’t be a problem since there aren’t a lot of situations where one receives attacks. Most of it will only be during battles.
Since the enchantments require a reasonable amount of mana to activate, there’s no need to keep activating them all the time. It is also important to be cautious because one can receive damage from surprise attacks.
And so, all those enchantment magic has been implemented in this uniform.
With a sour face, grandma warned me to absolutely never reveal this to anyone.
* * *
The time when everyone was leaving the classroom, since homeroom has ended and we were dismissed for today.
“Shin, do you have a minute?”
I was stopped by Maria.
“Hmm? What is it?
“There’s something I want to discuss with you, is that okay?”
“Yeah, it’s okay but…”
Is it that again? They want me to let them meet grandpa and grandma?
“I want to discuss something regarding Sicily.”
All right, I’ll hear it.
“Did something troublesome happen?”
“Yes, it’s a really troublesome thing.”
Maria had a really troubled expression.
Whereas Sicily had a really apologetic expression on her face.
Since both of them had such expressions, does this mean it’s really troublesome?
“Actually… there’s a guy who’s stalking Sicily.”
“Wha…”
Whaaaat~! Where and which guy is it!?
“It was after meeting Shin for the first time, I think. He was making advances towards Sicily ever since, and even though Sicily refused him many times, he still came back to the point of using his family’s influence as a threat.”
He’s the worst, that guy. When things don’t go the way he wanted, he uses the family influences, so any time now…
“Since Sicily didn’t do like he wanted, it seems he got really mad… So he might do something reckless sooner or later.”
… As I thought, huh.
“Also… that stalker guy I mentioned… is here in this academy.”
“What did you say!?”
If he’s here in the academy, this isn’t the time to be relaxed since anything can happen at any time!
Sicily had a really painful and apologetic expression on her face.
“Sorry Shin-kun… telling you something like this…”
“What are you talking about? Rather, I’m really glad that you let me know!”
“…That’s why, I’m so sorry…”
What does that mean? Putting that aside, this situation requires immediate attention.
While I was thinking about what to do, a voice called out to us.
“Oi! Sicily, you bitch! What’s the meaning of this? You’re already my fiancée, and yet you’re talking to another man!”
What did he say?! Who the hell is he!
Sicily’s face distorted into a painful expression when she heard that voice. Who was it that made Sicily have this kind of expression! When I looked at the person who made that voice…
It’s him again. It’s Cart.
“It’s him. He’s been stalking Sicily all the time, and has been saying she’s his fiancée to people around him as he pleases.”
Maria said to me.
Sicily who looked at the guy, panicked and hid behind my back. Maybe because he didn’t like what he saw, he walked towards us with his face red from anger.
“Sicily! You bitch, come over here!”
Cart stretched out his hand and tried to grab Sicily’s arm.
But there’s no way I would let such a thing happen.
I grabbed the arm reaching out for Sicily, and twisted it behind his back. Somehow, it feels like deja vu.
“GUWA~! Le~, let go, you insolent person!”
“Ha~ You’re still talking like that?”
Because he was being loud, I released him. When I did, he still yelled while glaring at me. He’s still annoying even after being released.
“That Sicily is my fiancée! The likes of you are not allowed to talk to her!”
“You said those kinds of things, but is it true?”
“Well… that…”
Aa, since Cart’s voice was so loud, she became timid, huh.
“Sicily, it’s okay. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you. That’s why you just try to say whatever is on your mind.”
“Shin-kun…”
I said that in order to reassure Sicily. Then, Sicily had a look that seemed to be determined about something, turned towards Cart and spoke.
“I… I decline your proposal of marriage! Also, it’s troublesome when you selfishly label me as your fiancée!”
Sicily’s voice echoed throughout the hallway, which turned quiet in order to watch the developing events. Alright! Well said, Sicily.
“Yo-you bitch! Are you telling me you’re defying ME!”
“I’m de-defying you! I have no intention of doing anything you told me to!”
She’s probably scared; her legs are trembling. Even so, she said the things she wanted to say. You’re great, Sicily.
“Yo-you bitch… A woman dares to defy me? All you women should only please the man beside her. Furthermore, even though I let you be by my side, don’t screw with me!”
“Which one of us is screwing around?”
Those earlier words are not allowed. Women are not tools of men. I was angry from the bottom of my heart at this guy who said those words nonchalantly.
“Y-you bastard… You’re stubbornly defying me, ahh!”
“Ah~ I’ll defy you all I want. Do~n’t get conceited thinking you can always have everything your way.”
“Ugh, y-, y-y-y-y-y you bastard.”
Oh, his red face got redder. Did he burst his blood vessels?
“That’s enough, to be full of yourself… Fine, I’ll show you what happens to anyone who dares to defy me.”
“What’s that? A threat? Fine, come attack me anytime. Since I’ll beat you down thoroughly.”
“Is it okay for you to say something like that? Sicily. If I remember correctly, your father is an administrator at the Finance Bureau, right?”
“That’s right… But… No way!”
“That’s right. My father is the Vice Minister of the Finance Bureau. If I were to say a word to Father… well, I wonder what will happen?”
Cart said that with a disgusting smile on his face.
Thi-this guy! He’s really the worst!
“That’s enough.”
“Prin-Prince Augusto…”
Just when I’m about to lose my temper, Gus came and interfered.
“Cart von Ritzburg, do you not remember what I told you during the entrance examination?”
“Th-that is…”
“Furthermore, to ask your own father to put pressure on your opponent’s father, it’s an outrageous act unbecoming of a noble of this Kingdom.”
“…”
Cart was admonished by Gus; he bowed his head and couldn’t say anything at all.
“I will let the Director of the Finance Bureau know about this through my Father. So there would be no strange actions taken, just in case.”
“Ah! Th-that is!”
“This is a decided matter. Objections are not allowed. If you understand, you can go already.”
“… Yes… I understand…”
After he glared at me with eyes that were full of intense hatred even more than during the entrance ceremony, he left.
“Thanks, Gus, you saved me. Just a little more and I would have lost my temper.”
“Sorry, Your Highness. Thank you very much.”
“What, although I was watching what you were going to do, but since it seemed the conversation was going in a strange direction, I decided to take the liberty of intervening. But I also felt like I wanted to see what would have happened if you were to snap.”
“You! Give back my thanks!”
So you were watching this whole time! If that was the case, you should have intervened immediately!
“Don’t get so angry. Because you were here, I was sure there would be no danger to Meshina and Claude.”
“Well, of course, there would be no danger… but there’s also a chance things could go wrong, you know.”
“Hehe, is that so? ‘Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you.’ Didn’t you say that? You looked really cool, right Claude?”
“Eh! Umm, that is… he looked really… cool…”
“Is what she said, isn’t that great? Shin.”
This guy… really…!
Sicily became red-faced and fidgeted bashfully. She was looking at me with an upward glance… Ah, really! She’s so cute, goddammit!
“Hey, do you think it’s all right now with this?”
Maria came and asked anxiously. Well, under those circumstances, anyone couldn’t feel relief at all.
Although I don’t know why he’s so convinced that he is special compared to others, and also, he doesn’t seem to the type of guy who would simply accept how things didn’t end up the way he wanted. I should probably still pay attention to him.
“Well, I still think it’s necessary to take caution until I see him stopping those glances. Don’t relax your guard just yet.”
“As I thought… that’s how it is…”
Sicily has fallen silent. That won’t do, I have to cheer her up. I could have her meet grandma for the first time, ah! That’s it!
“Although this is sudden, it came to me. After this, does everyone want to come over my house?”
“EHhhh?! Shin’s house?!”
“That’s what I said…”
“Let’s go! I’ll let Father and Mother know right away! So let’s do that!”
“I-I will go too! I’ll also let my parents know, thank you very much!
The two of them bolted and answered immediately.
Did they really want to meet grandpa and grandma this much?
“Hmm, I guess I’ll go as well. Father is probably making his way to Shin’s house now, anyway.”
He’s probably there. No doubt.
“I will also be going with His Highness as his escort.”
“I [Sessha] will also be going [de-gozaru].”
Ah, so they were there, Thor and Julius. Well, I guess it’s only natural since they’re Gus’ escort. Although today was the first time I’ve seen it.
“Then, I will go and speak to my parents!”
“Please wait for me!”
Sicily became energetic now. They dashed away immediately.
“So what now? Did you manage to come up with something??”
“Ah, this uniform has been imparted with enchantment magic.”
“It is as you said.”
“I was thinking of rewriting the enchantment magic.”
Gus and everyone else froze. Ah, they’ve recovered now.
“… Wait a minute. Just now, did I hear you say something disturbing?”
“Huh? Which part?”
“Well… I heard you say something like ‘rewriting’ the enchantment magic…”
“That’s right, this uniform is made out of pretty good fabric. You can enchant it with as many as twenty characters.”
“You… didn’t you come here to learn about common sense?”
“That’s right?”
“Ha~ That’s enough. If I get surprised every single time, my body won’t be able to keep up.”
What the hell, you went ahead and ended the topic all by yourself. It bothers me.
Thor and Julius also had a strange expression on their faces, just what is it?
After having a short exchange, Maria and Sicily returned. They dashed back.
“Ha, a ha a… ng… ha… So-sorry to keep you waiting…”
“Wafuuu ha fuuu… Sorry kept… you waiting…”
They were completely out of breath. Did they come dashing at full power?
“Even if you guys didn’t run at full power…”
“What are you talking about! There’s no way we can afford to keep Magi-sama and Guru-sama waiting!”
“That’s right!”
But the other party has already been waiting considerably.
“There’s really no need to worry about it that much, though… Well then, shall we go?”
“N-Nn!”
“Y-y-yes!”
And so, Sicily, Maria, Gus, Thor, Julius, and I; six people, began to walk together.
“Sorry guys. But ever since the entrance ceremony, my family have wanted to meet you.”
“No, there’s nothing for you to worry about. Or rather, when I told my family I’ll be going to Shin’s house, they were envious. They told me to tell them all about it when I get home.”
“The same thing happened in my house.”
“I-is that so.”
The people in this country respect grandma and grandpa way too much!
* * *
Grandpa and grandma had been waiting for the next move in the Academy’s guest room and were watching out cautiously for commotions. Naturally, Uncle Dis was together with them.
“You’re pretty late. I was worried that something might have happened.”
“That’s true. Tell me, what in the world have you been doing?”
“Shin-kun, I was waiting for you, but I was not worried. I think you haven’t done anything wrong.”
Compared to grandpa and grandma who was seriously worried about me, Uncle Dis is cruel!
“Sorry for making you worry, something happened that caused some delays.”
When I turned my head, I saw two people behind me looking nervous and tense.
I guess it’s only natural. Since there are two heroes and a King present, I guess there’s no helping it for them to be nervous.
“These two girls are my new classmates, they are Sicily and Maria.”
“Ni-ni-ni-nice to meet you! I’m in the same class as Shin-kun, my name is Maria von Meshina!!”
“Umm! That! Ni-nice to meet you! I’m Sicily von Claude!”
They were thoroughly nervous.
“This beautiful looking girl [bishoujo] with navy blue hair. Is she the girl Shin-kun was talking about?”
“The one Shin-kun was talking about?”
You don’t have to say anything unnecessary!
“Ho~ so it’s you…”
The look on grandma’s face changed. However, it looks like she’s looking at Sicily as if she was evaluating her. The conversation has completely stalled!
“Grandma, you can do that kind of thing later, for now, let’s go back home. We can’t talk properly here.”
“Hohho~, since you led them here, then you’re also bringing the young ladies when we go, right?”
“Nn, these two girls… or rather, it’s about Sicily.”
“Is that so, then, let’s go home, and we’ll listen carefully to what you have to say.”
And so, Sicily, Maria got on our horse-drawn carriage, while Gus, Thor, and Julius got on Uncle Dis horse-carriage, and we returned home.
Inside the horse-drawn carriage, as expected, the two were still very tense. Especially Sicily, since grandma’s stares were getting stronger.
Grandma, you’re scary, that’s why please stop it.
After five minutes of tension, we finally arrived home. These were the longest five minutes I have ever felt in my life….
“And so? You said there’s a story about this young lady. What is it? Don’t tell me, you already promised…”
“That! It’s not what you think!”
“Then, what is it?”
“Hmn, as you know, enchantment magic is granted to this uniform, right?”
“Ah~ …that was outrageous, wasn’t it…”
“Huh, right, it’s not about that… Is it okay for me to grant those enchantments on this child’s uniform?”
“… I’d like to first hear the details.”
I told them about what happened today in the academy. And, because the situation was not completely solved, I wanted to strengthen her defense.
“I see, so that was the reason why you were so slow to come out.”
“Diseum.”
“Ha. What is it, Merlin-dono?”
“In this country of yours, those kinds of nobles still exist?”
“No… I had no awareness of… The nobles in this country should have been reformed. Although there might still be obstinate nobles with a strong sense of elitism who have yet to yield. However, when talking about the Vice Chief Officer of the Finance Bureau, Ritzburg, he’s famous for being a strict person with strong morals, and he loathes things such as injustices and putting pressure on others. I cannot believe his son would say such a thing.”
“Hmm, that means there’s a possibility that it is the child’s recklessness…”
His father sounds like an amazing person. With that kind of father, it doesn’t look like he’ll be willing to put pressure on Sicily’s father even if Cart asked. Then, why did he say something like that? Did he not know what his own father was like?
“Grandma, is it okay?”
“If that’s the case… Young lady over there, you said your name was Sicily?”
“Ye-yes!”
“The enchantment magic Shin is talking about, in reality, is a preposterous substitution. And here he is saying he wants to grant it to your uniform. That means, this child is serious in regards to protecting you with it. Do you really believe you are qualified to be protected by him?”
“Qualified… you say…”
Qualification to receive my protection. I’m not that kind of insolent human being, you know?
“Grandma, as for qualification… I don’t need something exaggerated like that. It’s because it’s something I want to do, so you don’t have to do anything grandiose.”
“You, be quiet and just listen. And you, do you even understand what in the world will happen if Shin granted that to your uniform?”
“What will happen, you say.”
“That uniform is powerful enough to be considered as a protective armor of a national treasure grade.”
” ” ” ” ” “National treasure grade!?” ” ” ” ” ”
Eh? Is that so?
“Master Melinda! What do you mean!?”
“Neither here nor there, this child once again did something outrageous. If I explain it like that, you’ll understand, right? It’s something that cannot be done according to our common sense.”
“I see what you mean… just hearing about it is scary.”
There’s nothing to be afraid of, you know? Or rather, wouldn’t it protect them?
“It’s unbecoming that I can’t even fathom what kind of ridiculously high value this uniform has become as a protective armor. Nevertheless, this child wants to impart the very same enchantment magic on your uniform. Do you have the resolution and qualification to accept it?”
“That is… qualification…”
After being asked this question, tears began to form in Sicily’s eyes.
Why?!
“I… I do not… have the qualification….”
And so she said with her tears spilling out of her eyes.
“Hmph, what do you mean by you don’t have the qualification?”
“I was taking advantage of Shin-kun’s kindness. I thought if I spoke to Shin-kun about my circumstances…. he would take pity on me, and help me… And so, I told him about my situation.”
“Well, this child is strong, after all. It’s not like I don’t understand the feeling of wanting to rely on him.”
“But! But… Although it had nothing to do with Shin-kun… as I thought, he did help me… It made me happy when he said he would protect me… And while depending on the thought that he would protect me… I selfishly did everything I wanted at my own convenience…”
Sicily’s flow of tears was unstoppable. I see, when she first told me about her situation, she had an apologetic expression. However, she wasn’t apologetic for “letting me hear such a strange story,” but it was because “I want you to sympathize with me and help me after you hear the story,” that’s exactly what I had speculated.
But to be honest, even if she didn’t say anything, I knew the truth. I wonder if I should lie?
“Melinda-sama! We apologize for attempting to take advantage of your grandson. After this, we’ll try to solve it ourselves. We’re sorry for the inconvenience!”
To the crying Sicily, I was thinking of confessing the fact that I knew she was trying to use me.
What am I thinking! If I confess, it’ll be revealing that I’m also pursuing Sicily…
“Wait a minute!!”
Grandma said to take control.
Surprised by the voice, Sicily suddenly stood stock-still.
Sicily’s tears still had yet to stop. She looks like she’s falling into self-hatred…
“Sicily, I’m glad you spoke honestly. It’s a good thing you quickly understood that you were trying to take advantage of Shin. But if you didn’t speak straightforwardly, it would have defeated the whole purpose of him granting magic on your uniform.”
“U~u… hick…. ugh…”
With those words, her response was nothing but sobs and not words. Did she really have to cry that much?
“However, you spoke honestly. That protective armor enhanced with magic could be considered as a national treasure. But nevertheless, you abandoned the chance to have it for yourself. It’s not something anyone can do.”
“Be-because… hick… I tricked Shin-kun… tricked him… but he still wants to gi-give me something like that, hick, there’s nooo way I can accept ittt.”
Although it’s hard to understand what she is saying because she was sobbing convulsively, I guess she couldn’t forgive herself for trying to use me.
“What’s so wrong about a woman tricking a man. In addition, you’re a cute looking girl. Look at Shin, it’s not like he noticed. And so, with a cute girl relying on him, don’t you think he’ll be more fired up?”
“It’s my bad! Hey Sicily, please don’t think that you were using me, or fooling me, okay? It was my intention, my wish, to help Sicily. That’s why don’t deny my intention.”
“Shin-kun.”
“It’s fine even if you use me. Or rather, I would really regret it if you didn’t tell me the circumstances and then something happens to Sicily.”
“It was wrong of me to test you. I had to verify whether or not you are qualified to receive a protective armor enhanced with magic. It was my fault.”
Grandma suddenly became very gentle. She hugged Sicily close and started stroking her head.
“U-u-u-waaaaa~!!”
I guess she felt relieved after grandma hugged her, and she finally let it all out.
“Well then, Shin, you can go ahead and enhance Sicily’s uniform.”
“It’s it okay?”
“Ah, but Sicily, it’ll be useless if you reveal it to others. You cannot receive it unless you make a promise. That’s why I want you to decide whether or not you’re prepared to do so.”
“Wuu, yes, I won’t tell anyone, I promise.”
“Alright. You’re a good child.”
That’s good, it seems like Sicily has somehow settled down. Now I can enchant Sicily’s uniform.
However, If I don’t get her to change her clothes, the enchantment will be impossible because I won’t be able to enchant her blazer, shirt, and skirt.
However, it was difficult to ask a girl to take off her clothes. While I was thinking of what to do, grandma gave me a lifeboat.
“Come Sicily, you have to take off your clothes in order to grant enchantment magic on your uniform. Let’s go to the room and I’ll lend you some clothes.”
“Nn… hick… ye-yes.”
And so, she went away and took Sicily to the room.
While I was watching her go…
“Hey, Shin.”
“What is it, grandpa?”
“I completely didn’t notice that that child was trying to take advantage of you, Shin.”
“What about it, grandpa… I didn’t notice, too…”
“Melinda did really well in noticing…”
“…Maybe it’s because they’re both women?”
“But if that child’s uniform was enhanced just like that, her heart might get crushed from her sense of guilt later on.”
“… That’s why, was it really that important?”
“It looks like you still haven’t realized it…”
That’s why I said it’s too exaggerated.
“But that aside…”
“What is it?”
“That grandma, didn’t it look like she took over the authority here? I felt like I was air.”
…Do your best! Grandpa!
* * *
“Here, since you’ll be changing again soon, this will do.”
Melinda said so, and from amongst her clothes, she passed Sicily a white one piece dress for her to change to.
“Now, quickly get changed, and we’ll return to where everyone is. Since we’re taking up unnecessary time. We should hurry.”
“Umm, I’m truly very sorry…”
Sicily felt apologetic with the knowledge that she was taking up unneeded time to change her clothes.
“Even so, you did well in being honest. If it was me when I was young, I would have absolutely stayed silent in order to obtain a national treasure grade protective armor.”
“…In the beginning, I was reluctant to rely on Shin-kun’s kindness. But because I felt really helpless at that time… when Shin-kun helped me, I was really happy… It would have been very painful if I had stayed silent…”
“With that kind of state of mind, you still found it painful to receive his help?”
“…Yes.”
“Really now, aren’t you a good girl. About earlier, I’m really sorry, Sicily.”
“No, because it’s about your family, it’s only natural for you to worry. I’m also very sorry.”
“By the way, Sicily?”
“What is it?”
“You, how do you feel about Shin?”
“E-Ehhhh!?”
“Since you’re a good girl, I’d like to ask you to take care of Shin.”
“T-t-t-to take care!?”
“What do you think? You’re not opposed to the idea, are you?”
“Th-that is something… even I… don’t know well myself.”
“Hmm?”
“I do not dislike him, absolutely not. But, if you were to ask me what I think about Shin-kun… I think he’s kind… he’s strong, and he’s cool… But if you ask me if I like him… I don’t know the answer to that.”
“…But I think you like him more than enough…”
“Eh?”
“No, it’s nothing. You’ve finished changing. Now then, let’s go back to where everyone is.”
“Yes!”
Sicily went back to where everyone else was while Melinda decided something in her mind.
‘I somehow want this girl.’
Thus, Sicily had been locked-on by Melinda.

News Update:
During the translation of this chapter, Joe and Cat got into a heated debate about Sicily. Hate her? Like her? or Meh, she’s neither here nor there? What do you guys think?
On a side note, Cat, and her sister have returned from Portugal. However, when they got back, her sister realized that her wallet was missing. Long story short, she was busy helping her sister making a police report, visiting banks, lining up at government offices, and visits to the Embassy.
Losing one’s wallet really is a big hassle, and we hope none of our readers will ever experience such a misfortune. (Take care of your wallets!)
Thus, sorry for the delay, and the next chapter will hopefully be out within the next week!
Your host,
Japtem
oh shit
If you hadn’t posted in another month, I would have tried to join the team and started working on chapter 35 and then work my way backwards. I am still interested in helping you guys if my schedule clears up.
We’ve cleared the next couple of chapters, so those will be released soon. But you’re always welcome to help us~
I will let you guys know before I do anything. I know the procedure. it is on the forum. I am translating a couple series on my own along with some games. You guys and everyone in the universe are all welcome to rehost my translations to preserve them forever.
HAHA good ! Let the blood and sweat flow until no chapter remain untranslated !
(lol, self preservation of your works…..(from others work) to bring others;Translations)
I am at Lygartranslations.wordpress.com if you guys ever want to read my translations or play some of the RPGmaker games that I am translating and will release at a later date.
…I happened to lose my wallet too…And it was in a different country when I went on a trip…Didn’t find it,but had to go back…Well,there wasn’t much in it though(!Nothing important too).So I just left it there…
My sis lost her phone in China. IIRC, pickpockets like to haunt airports because the chances of someone hanging around long enough to make a police report is low, they tend to be flying off soon.
Soon™ also means next year or 5 years from now. With the popularity of this work and how slow your releases are, I’m surprised no one has poached the project yet.
go help them its to long =P cant wait 1 mont eatch time qhen the other site relais 1 a day U_U
let’s see…
what hapend last time ????
I dont remembr !!!!! -.-
<<– baxk to chapter 13
No worries, the releases will speed up *fingers crossed*
save me cat Q.Q. With no supreme leader to throw projects at me, joe starts trying to get me to PR Super magical robot novels Q.Q
“Super magical robot novels”
That sounds hilarious, hahahaha
I probably read some of those, but thats the funniest way I’ve heard of summing it up, and its true, haha
Cat: what happened to your fan fiction whispers of the immortal? It is really good.
Wow… I kept refreshing once every hour everyday. And FINALLY!!!
Thank you so much <3
Lub you guys
missed it thanks for the chapter
Awesome chapter, thanks, team!
It was long and painful… reminds me too much of Ark.
Haha it shouldn’t have been THAT painful. Ark is 40 pages long, after all. xD -gives Cat a triple chocolate cookie-
Why did you even drop ark?
Long story short, it was back to school season.
After which ArkMachineTranslations took over and have been releasing in a really fast pace, so we figured, we might as well drop it.
IMO a series requires a high quality translation like Japtem at the start, while the world building, vocabulary and tone is being set. However once you get far enough in that nothing very new happens, lower quality translations can suffice as readers know enough about the world to connect the dots when things are missed.
Still, I will always prefer a Japtem translation, no matter the release schedule =)
Totally agreed
Thank you so much amnesic, you just made my day. I have been trying to find a place where i can read ark and now you just said it. Again, thank you so much.
Run Sicily, Ruuuuun
thanks for the chapter
Don’t run~
Noooo, have Grandma enslave her into Shin’s harem of one! Mwahahahahaha~
*gives the Japtem staff one raw potato each*
Why a RAW potato?
so they can translate them =o
Hope it’s at least a sweet potato… Btw, isn’t she 15 years old? Everytime I read this, I imagine these guys being 12-13 years old 0_o Like, the way they talk to each other is like a how a bunch of kids are talking. Well anyhow, that’s my opinion.
Thnx for the chapter *Thumbs up!* Still like this LN for the fun comedy
A… A raw potato is delicious? OwO
thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou…
Does that cover it?
If you add a cookie, then yes 🙂
and a cheese cake.
Just one cheese cake. I’m better at cookies
cookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookiecookie…
They are to be enjoyed. Dont go bulimic like cookie monster. Just take your time.
Thanks for the chapter.
Wasnt it maria who peer pressured sicily into using him. I knida like her sicily i mean, and it was pretty heart warming when she confessed. I imagine her having snot drooping bawling girl, while grandma is like a god fairy. Fight on grandpa 😀
But don’t you think the romance is kind of quick in this 14 chapters in and a girl likes mc, so is the sex going to come at ch 69? But shit this is most likely going to be a harem.
From what I can tell so far, there’s no harem, and the action starts in about 3-4 chapters 🙂
WHAT NO HAREM! I’M ON BOARD CHOO CHOO.
I’m also on the train ^^
WOO WOO! Here comes the hype train!
Thanks for the chapter! Love this series, glad you’re getting back on it.
To be fair Sicily shouldn’t feel too guilty. While it’s true she did knowingly use Shin to confront that douchebag, it was Maria who pressured her into doing so and, really, what’s wrong with relying on those around you for things you can’t do yourself? I like Sicily, she’s a bit weak-minded but she’s kind and ultimately an honest and caring girl. Maria I don’t like because she’s not being honest to her own feelings for Shin and pushing her own desire to be with him onto Sicily, without really considering Sicily’s feelings or personality – like Manami from Asobi ni Iku yo!.
Sicily should learn from that situation that she can’t let others manipulate her. Don’t be like a soft slime ,girl! Be hard and steady like an oak.
I completely agree she should learn from this, but some people are just shy or lack the self-confidence. Like I said, if someone is really your friend you can rely on them for things you can’t do yourself – she relied on Maria to help think of how to combat the douchebag, and Maria’s solution was to delegate the problem to Shin. I’d rather Sicily stayed a bit weak-minded if becoming “hard and steady like an oak” also means she isn’t as kind and caring as she currently is.
From Sicily’s introduction, she said she’s weak when it comes to attack magic, but she’s good at support magic. I think she needs to get stronger, and I agree with you, she needs to stop relying and getting pressured by Maria.
If she wants to be able to support others, she needs to be more self-reliant and not act like a damsel in distress. She’s also part of S Class, so that should say something about her magic powers; while Cart is in A Class.
*Clasp Hands* *Preying that she won’t BECOME the same as
Orihime Inoue from Bleach!*
maybe give her some trauma and that will create a spit personality. with her new godlike cloth maybe she could be girlfriend/ person he has to keep from kill others. his biggest challenge.
While I agree that there isn’t anything wrong with relying on those around you, I believe that there is a proper way to go about doing so, and that is by being upfront and open about it- that is the distinction between reliance and manipulation. As for Sicily’s character, her weak-mindedness kind of grates on my nerves (generic girl character much?). Maria on the other hand, is someone I completely dislike- not only dis she propose the idea of manipulating Shin, and pressured Sicily into doing it, she didn’t even feel bad about it and tried to justify herself with lowly sophism saying how it’s all for the sake of her more precious friend *blah blah blah*
thanks for the chapter! I don’t think Sicily is a bad girl, just a bit weak-willed and influenceable, which gives her room for improvement 😉
Also, hope Cat’s sister gets reunited with her wallet.
Lots of love from a portuguese reader
She most likely won’t get it back, since she lost it in Lisbon airport xD
I just got back from Portugal, but I didn’t get to do much sightseeing… Take pictures for me~
Mistakes:
>Tomorrow’s morning
Tomorrow morning
>whom haven’t yielded yet
who
(Only use “whom” if it’s the object, use “who” if it’s the subject of the subordinate clause)
>would say to do such a thing
remove “to”
>it is the child recklessness
child’s
>That’s why don’t deny my intention.
It’s fine as informal speech, but if you want to correct it:
That’s why you shouldn’t … / Because of that, please don’t …
>>would say to do such a thing
>remove “to”
I meant “remove “to do””
Thanks for pointing out those error, it’s been rectified.
Great! I also made similar posts for other chapters under the name “Bare Necessities” chapters 4 to 6 and 9 to 12.
Also obligatory:
>those error
errors
a useful grammar nazi!
Yay an update~
Btw, Cat is a girl?
I’m most definitely a girl…
what?! I thought you were a beautiful woman?
Nope. An akaloli for sure.
T.T its back
Do u guys still need cookies?
If you want to donate some cookie, I’d gladly take it.
omg you are still alive
Barely breathing…
ofc we must love Sicily. How dare you hate her!
Look how she was crying. Look how she confessed her wrong deeds. She’s definitely a good girl!
>:v
___
btw thanks for the chapter~
I know she’s a good girl, but I’m not too fond of “damsel in distress” kind of girl. So I hope this is a one-time thing and she becomes a stronger character. She is, after all, also in S Class.
The “damsel in distress” archetype is so overrated. I’d prefer someone more strong-willed who would say something like “I’ll fight you to the end, and go out in a fire of glory than yield to you!”
So you would rather her be a stubborn girl who would risk the safety of her father out of pride?
Thanks.
finally.
thank you
Huhuhuh after a month long of waiting I get my chappie!! thanks to the staff and the great overlord
buaaaa! *cryes in the floor* i thought that maybe something really bad happened to you ;A; , thank you for the chapter as always, i’ll continue to cheer on japtem always ;A;!
Finally!! heheheh
Thanks for the chapter!
All hail Japtem! Thank you!
dont care for sicily at all
Thanks for the new chapter!
“Although there might still be obstinate nobles with strong sense of elitism whom have yet to yeild.”
yeild -> yield
That’s what happens when you type too fast and it’s 6am.
Is there any opening for proofreading MG or SR to speed up releases? The recruitment page only has the UL option.
So I made a wand enchanted with ‘Magic Effect Nullification,’
What? Shin just enchanted the wand with Mass Effect 3’s ending? 😛
Oh so THAT’s what locked-on in the title means XP
i come here to read that last note…..
How suspicious~
Woot! Finally another MG chapter! Hopefully the plot starts moving soon.
the action will start in 3-4 more chapters
I think Sicilli is a young girl put into a horrific situation, and that she grabbed the only lifeboat she could find.
I don’t think what she did was -admirable- but it was also far from contemptible.
So far she doesn’t have much but looks though, so we need to wait and see if she is really worth the time. It sounds like Miranda wants to grab her and train her, so we will probably see her more fleshed out with time.
Alright! Another chapter! Now we just need to wait for another month or 2 in order to know how badly cart got beaten up by shin…
I think ‘It’s it fine?’ should be ‘Is it fine?’
Thank you~
Are you serious?!? That’s not how you end a fight you’re suppose to killing peoples family because he didn’t give mc face.
Also Imagine men trying to get her national treasure grade girl uniform and wearing it.
…ow… I mean, really. Ow…
Both to the mass killing and the men wearing skirts.
Come to think of it, doesn’t the female uniform have a big defence flaw from below? Wide open. The side protection for the legs isn’t too hot either unless you are talking about a long skirt, which they probably are. 14 year old school kids probably don’t do the short skirt school uniform route too often.
Maybe it has those really tall socks…
does the panties count as protection too? because they might pop their cherries hehe.
… Shin will enchant the skirts.
You go enchant unwashed panties. Ug…
Not wuxia
yeah damn wuxia/xinxia is like the only thing out there now except for a few exceptional transport world japanese LN and stuff.
thanks for the chapter
Well, I completely forgot everyone’s name except Shin’s.
Cicily- don’t like her but don’t HATE her. She’s weak-willed, so she’s meh. Having a strong heart is imperative in the world of magic, more than being magically strong.
Shin- this mf knew he was being used and went along with it? Why are asian men’ weakness always women? Like really? A man would stab you in the back and be sworn to vengeance, but a woman? Nah, I’m sure she had a good reason cue: *eye roll*. He’s either really, really kind hearted or he’s friggin smitten with this spineless shrimp and will forgive her if she cuts off his friggin arm.
Wow. I guess I dislike her more than I thought. Hope there’s another girl, with a better personality, but I suppose the grandma has made up her mind for who Shin will be with and thus will groom her to suit. Still though, the grandma ended up DIVORCED after she got everything she wanted, sooooo not really sure she SHOULD get what she wants.
Nice job in pointing out that grandma and grandpa are no longer together. I thought that was funny xD
However, we still don’t know why, and it doesn’t seem like they have a bad relationship.
Does it really matter why they broke up though? She’s no longer with the person she chose to share her life with in THAT way. Sure they don’t have a bad relationship, but that just means “friends” should have stayed “just friends.”
She obviously developed feelings for grandpa during dangerous trials & tribulations, but with that element gone, they broke up. Isn’t that how Cicily’s feelings are developing as well?
A relationship needs to work through the ups AND the lows, with the chemistry constant throughout. That’s why I’m more on the fence with Cicily.
It might be that their relationship could not stand the public scrutiny, it happens. A relationship that works out well solo can easily fracture with a lot of public interference. The fact that both of them don’t like to stay in town might have something to do with it too. Remember, they have a town house yet both of them prefer to stay so far out in the boonies that no one knows where they are. It says something about their mental state with regards to crowds.
As for “little weak girl”, face it, people don’t come from factories, there is a range of personalities out there, some gung-ho (and yes, I know some really gung ho people out there- “the only easy day” kind), some so timid that they won’t hurt a cockroach. Never mind a story, go outdoors and you’ll see Cecily-like people. Do you hate them?
I just treat her as a “blood type A” kind of person. Go look it up, blood type and personality. Not really scientific, more for fun, but it does show that there is a huge subset of the population with this kind of mindset.
All we can do is speculate for the grandma and grandpa’s relationship. That’s why I am questioning the “lock on” the grandma did.
As for Cicily type people? hmmm never meet someone timid as that. I’ve meet quiet people who are really passive, but still strong in their beliefs will quietly signal you to jerk-off in their own timid way. However, this is a STORY. The writer could have come up with ANY personality for the girl. He choose this one. When I criticize, it’s the writer’s capability in writing a believable, viable character. You say you’ve meet people like her, but I haven’t. Ever. So I don’t know what to make of her and thus she just comes of as… irritating? Spineless? Has the complexity of a teaspoon? I don’t know. Still reserving judgment.
Remind me not to introduce you to some of my friends. 🙂
I have met several people like Sicily.
I would have helped her if I was shin too. It’s not even about her being a her, it’s just that stalkers are creepy f*ckers and I wouldn’t want anyone to have to deal with them if I could do something about it, male or female. Also she’s really just overthinking it, whenever anyone asks for a favor they’re using the other person.
I was so happy when I saw this update. Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter
It still feels too early to make an accurate evaluation of her but so far I like Sicily’s character so my thoughts are the same as grandma Melinda’s.
thanks for the chapter /o/
Thanks so much for the chapter. 🙂
Sicily? She’s not here. She’s not there. And thus, I do not care 😀
I wouldn’t care really about her trying to make me help her, specially since how shin saw throw it and after seeing how she couldn’t even maintain that “little lie”, it’s easy to see that she is quite sincere, but yeah kind of got easily influenced by maria. And the most important fact is… She is cute xD She should be the blue haired girl so this one right:

Ps: Other then the wallet problem, how was Portugal? (I’m Portuguese)
This is addictive.
***pours Kona out of an airtight insulated glass carafe.
Thanks for the chapter enjoying the series for the most part am not a fan of Sicily find her annoying but the rest is great.
in the end what did you decide? fast or accurate?
Hmm… I don’t really like the romance as well as the character development. It’s as if the author just shove the romance unto the readers mouth. Its only 14 chapters and there is already romance… Couldn’t the author wait untill chapter 50 or so then add in the romance? So that he could develop the characters and make a better romance. Shin basically have the best technology and the rest have rocks and sticks to fight him. Sicily is… A crybaby… I wish there are more to say. I really was disappointed with sicily, i was hoping she would be like Ellie from “Last of Us” or a strong female figure. Long story short, I don’t like the story currently hopefully it will be better in the future.
Other than Lisbon and Fatima, I didn’t get to do much travelling since I went there because of my cousin’s wedding.
But the places I visited was quite nice. The scenery was amazing!
My eyes grow weak and my body tired… feed me more chapters plz!
She really hasn’t had enough screen time for me to form a strong opinion but from what I’ve seen so far i’m leaning towards liking her.
Thanks for the chapter and sorry for losing your wallet. This is why i cant stop moving around without putting my hand on my pocket when there’s valuable stuff in it.
Wow this chapter took long lol but finally it’s here! Thank you veryvery much for not dropping this I wouldn’t know what would happen to me if I tried to Mt this wonderful novel. Hahaha!
Thank you very much for your hard work translators. 🙂
sicily is sweet
this one is good can you pls put priority up
this is ridiculous I demand a triple update!!!
A month w/o update and you give us a short chapter???
I cant accept this!
it’s the longest chapter by far troll
Thank you for the amazing chapter
It’s fine to be weak and rely on others, so long as you recognize your weakness and work to improve yourself. If all Sicily is going to do is cry when things don’t go her way I’ll probably start to hate her. If, on the other hand, she works hard to improve herself and support those who’ve helped her in the past, then isn’t that just fine?
Still, her friends shouldn’t spoil her too much.
She’s still young, give her time to grow up.
My sis once cried when she was 10 and lost the 10 bucks my mother gave her for groceries, I don’t
blame her as weak or meek, just that she was panicky. She’s a real pain when she’s not frantic, picking fights with me every day, but this was just a situation where she had no idea what to do.
Nothing a bit of head patting, hand holding and accompanying her to the convenience store couldn’t solve.
Some people can handle some situations better than others.
Now, where did my adorable little sister go? Who swapped her for this bull in a china shop when I wasn’t looking? 🙂
After waiting for so longgggggggggggggggggggggg Finally!!!!!!! eii eiii eiiii!! (echo)
Thank for your work!
I know I shouldn’t give up! TT_TT
Thanks for this release
finall khuhkhukhukhu ..
Love her of course!
The one i.. or rather WE! hate is Cart von Ritzburg.
Bastard why don’t you die already! Get beheaded or 1v1 Death Match against Shin
Just like that *MAJOR SPOILER ALERT* Emanuel&Forhan(the father son duo) & Kalan(the guy who stole Alice away) from CD!
i laughed my ass off when they got squashed. it was kinda outta nowhere but still so fucking hilarious.
im actually quite confused with this part
“Sicily became energetic now. They dashed away immediately.
“So what now? Did you manage to come up with something??””
It was mentioned they already left before that right? So why is it mentioned 2/3 times? Somehow the part there and a bit before sounds weird @__@
They didn’t left all at once, they were leaving in groups, base on the the people who were talking before mentioning they left
Great, I’m at the airport right now going to Hong Kong and you guys are scaring me
Watch out for your stuff. It’s the best time for people to lift it, after all, if you delayed, you’ll miss your flight, so they’re counting on that to steal and get away without having a police report made. Keep in a group and watch out for people at the edges. Not the best situation but it beats having to keep watch 360 degrees.
Thanks!
sicily is just a yes girl isnt she? idk she doesnt really stand out much. The other women in the class were well more interesting than lil miss waifu
Sicily is just the helpless girl character. Hating her for that would be like hating Sicily for pasta, wine, or olive oil.
Hey guys do we have to wait another month for the next release?
Although I dislike Sicily for being a useless crybaby (so far atleast LOL) but the main reason why I don’t like her is that she’s the cause of an unnecessary and rushed romance subplot. Her character is basically flat to the point where u could literally finish her character description in a single sentence and they added the romance subplot too quickly. If it had been a light crush that gets developed throughout the chapters I would have found it acceptable. Her character needed to be more developed and the relationship between her and Shin also needed to be a bit more developed. Their only reasons for liking each other are literally because she’s cute and he’s “cool” and also rescued her. We don’t even get to see any main conflicts yet, I don’t count cart coz he’s just and obnoxious bratty noble but a conflict that involves actual fights that’d lead to a main goal yet the author is already pushing for this couple. Like I said before, if it was merely an introduction of a light crush where they do a little blushing here and there it would’ve been fine. But the authors already pushing for cliché rescue the oh so cute damsel in distress in only the 14th chapter. I also feel that she doesn’t deserve Shin coz nothing about her is necessarily special. Sure she’s good enough to be part of the S class but so are other students. Her only main selling points are the fact that she’s the cute, easily embarrassed, “good girl.” Since I already hated female characters like that in the first place, add that to the fact that the author is forcing for a romantic subplot this early makes me find her role pretty irritating.
2 days left till the next update :3
I hope you guys wont disappoint us again
dun dun duuuuunn!
i like her. its not like in a certain story the main character gets it on with a 12 year old girl. yea it was kinda fast with her introduction and their attraction to each other, but hey no dicking around like in other stories where nothing romantic occurs for 200 chapters.
i see… cart is the next devil… kinda obvious =P… a human mage that gathers a huge amouth of negative emotions towards a person that is much stronger than himself and cannot possible defeat… then he turns in to a devil and hell break loose…
I like Sicily, she has no attack power BUT she made it in to the S class while being a healer
its been a week where is the update?
Well they wrote that it hopefully will be out within this week and the week isn’t over yet
how about now?
They say next week but they mean next month ?
ohh I’m sorry I am not aware for the new meaning of the word “next week”
well better check this site next year then
see you guys in a year!
sicily seems like a nice person with a large pile of growing to do, mentally, but in a completely separate direction from shin. complimentary personalities, behavior, and abilities, seems solid to me.
Im sorry but the price of your words on the reliability market has plummeted.
Sigh I just hope that you’d atleast make an update, it just feels wrong
Anyway, thanks again for picking this up. I hope the author doesnt get run over by a japanese truck (or just disappear completely from the internet)
I know right?they barely seem determined in the project
It’s more like confusing. They say that they have a lot of chapters cleared but they don’t release them. I don’t know what’s the problem that is trailing behind them for 2 months already but I hope they can work it out quickly :> To the translation team- I love you! (+1% chance for instant chapter)
I am pretty sure they must be sulking/busy in a corner. They havent updated their project status in a long time. We can only make offerings in a form of virtual cookies…no real cookies, Ill eat them before I can get the chance to offer them some
Hey guys can you remove the project status it takes UP MY SCREEN its PRETTY worthless anyway…
That’s rude man. That’s irritating to wait so long for translation checking but it isn’t their work you know. It’s their hobby. More importantly, it’s not like they are obstructing someone.
I enjoy this novel so much! Really looking forward to the journey that is the rest of the novel 🙂
Japtem, your comments about the team being chased around and such is really funny and refreshing. Thanks.
Found myself laughing not only as I read the novel, but also after with the tl notes.
Thanks for translating this!! 🙂

come on dude its up to them whenever they want to release… they are not our slaves, employees, friends, servants, nor they have any obligation to us. just sit tight and wait patience is a virtue.
but when they say that the chapter will be next week and its not next week or the week after that or the week after that and not even a update notice then we get kinda antsy about when the’re going to release it
Im just wondering . Is mg have regular release?
yeah before they have a release every week
now dont even ask them even the admins dont know when would it be ready
That’s life.
Times need to be grateful
Times need to deal with it
thats sad i like this novel a lot. :/
Thanks for the chapter!
i thought they said next week 🙁 its been a month
Shin is really handsome! :O i had a hard time imagining him but he sort of managed to reach my expectations 🙂
pffffft just say the chapters will be sometime in the future not next week or a month
OH MY GOSH HAHAHAHA!!So funnyman. The grandma and grandpa combo is just funny. I like the way the Mc is cautious and went that far for her
heroin needs some change. being to pure is fine if you gave a a spit personality to match. you know like one that tires to kill someone for taking her beloved bread or attempted to steal the hero away from her.
with that change of course she will become aggressive type mage and would often get into fights with hero for whatever the issue is. he needs a rival and his girlfriends split would be a interesting choice. i mean she also has the powered up cloth.
Hehe. grandma approves!
did the sister found her wallet?
Sicily is adorable! and I don’t think that was “using” it was more or less telling a friend/the guy she likes about a serious worry that’s been troubling her. Also cart is dirtbag for treating girls like objects.
“But that aside…”
“What is it?”
“That grandma, didn’t it look like she took over the authority here? I felt like I was air.”
…Do your best! Grandpa!
–These line made me laugh, even tears formed in my eyes.
So, is this still getting translated?
Sorry for their loss
zzzzz. Annoying Sicily is annoying. Maria is way more worthy of MC. Sicily just sits around does nothing and cries. Maria is the only reason Sicily can even get close to MC. *Sigh*…
this novel is ass, nah nvm ass is better. Smh
scary, scary grandma.
This is strangely comedic even when it seems unintentional?
Thanks for the translation~ o/
somehow i like Maria way more than Sicily. I’m weak toward tough girl, and vice versa, kinda hate the cute looking air head girl :’) sorry Sicily.
we loved i
We think you’re going to love this
Admin are you willing to put your novel to pdf? btw thank you very much for this web novel i really appreciate this 🙂
Sicily is lame af tbh
Errr.. Can we have other girls as prospective love interests for Shin please? Those girls are not good and attractive enough (personality wise). To be honest I think the author really has a bad taste in girl if he thinks somebody like Sicily is cute.
Great Grandchildren confirmed
Grandma x Sicily
Thank you
Hating Sicily? No way, if you ask me, it didn’t gave off the feeling that she did anything wrong, not the slightest. Like, if she had a cunning personality then of course it would be questionable, but she is a 100% wholesome and honest person, and even felt bad about asking for help.
