Chapter 91: Gossip – Mio, Cooking and Hero (3)

“Ara, you came”

At the interior of the counter, in a place where there is a workshop, a familiar voice is heard. Hibiki and the others notice that they have arrived to their objective.

They are at Tsige which is showing the most growth in this remote region, and moreover, in the Rembrandt Company that is riding on the momentum and growing with it. They are at a corner.

A darkish skin demi-human smiled at them gently from the counter and received them.

It’s the sub-branch of Kuzunoha Company in Tsige.

This company has already obtained a deep amount of stable customers and among the adventurers it is a store they admire.

It uses outstanding materials and in this town it is the place with the highest quality of equipment. Moreover, if one has the right amount of money, they even accept orders for improvements or original weapon creations. For equipment that will certainly last for a long time, not only the adventurers but the people who have occupations where they will encounter battles, rate this place highly.

Even so, there are a number of merchants at a corner lining up to buy medicine. Kuzunoha Company’s medications are famous for being more effective than those other unskillful magic medications and their sales are rising. There’s no doubt that it is doing well as a company.

Right now the armor orders are temporarily stopped, so in the place for armor orders, there’s no one. However, a number of adventurer-looking hyumans were there looking at the situation from the distance, so some people were anticipating that the orders will begin again.

Hibiki and her companions were transported to an inn in Tsige by Mio while they were unconscious. Mio gave detailed instructions to the landlady and left the inn. Hibiki’s group heard the situation from the landlady (several parts were altered) and devoted themselves to Bredda who was heavily injured, living several days there.

And so, today.

Because Bredda was able to walk normally now, they once again reunited and headed to Kuzunoha Company’s sub-branch where they were told they could contact Mio.

Hibiki’s group didn’t know about the gazes of inquisitiveness and envy that were being directed at them. It’s because they were envious of them having connections with Mio, but Hibiki’s group who don’t know about Kuzunoha Company and the status of Mio in this town, it is no surprise that they haven’t noticed.

When the Forest Oni clerk said “Sorry for making you wait”, a black haired girl they met a few days ago appeared.

“That knight, it seems he has healed already-desu ne. It’s great that it was nothing serious” (Mio)

“Yeah… That time you really aided us. From what I heard, you even lend a hand in healing. We thank you” (Bredda)

Bredda himself steps forward and thanks Mio. Mio glances at him and soon turns her gaze to Hibiki.

“I don’t mind-desu wa. I am used to protecting after all. And so Hibiki, it seems that your companion is in a good state but, do you have time?” (Mio)

“Yes. I heard from the landlady that you had business with me. So uhm… Is it about the fight with the mamono?” (Hibiki)

Hibiki’s expression is gloomy. Showing a pathetic appearance and being told that she was disappointed, had become a lingering discomfort inside her. For her, there were no past experiences where she has disappointed anyone and no experience in confronting her own weakness.

Coupled with the fight of the demon general that made her hold doubts about her strength, she who is a hero, hadn’t been able to digest this feeling inside her yet.

“Fight? Ah, I don’t really mind that. I just said this but, because of reasons, I am used to protecting people like you. Just think of it as being lucky-desu wa” (Mio)

However, Mio’s words totally negated Hibiki’s thoughts. From Mio’s point of view, the way back to Tsige had turned into protecting hyumans, that’s all.

“We were lucky…?” (Hibiki)

“Yeah, because you guys didn’t die. Moreover, I am not your companion nor your teacher and yet, why do I have to grade your fight and scold you?” (Mio)

Mio’s words implied that she didn’t care much about the life of Hibiki’s group. Those words stabbed Hibiki’s group.

“That is… then why did you save us?” (Hibiki)

“I told this to the landlady too but, Hibiki, it’s because I had business with you-desu. I still haven’t asked you about how to make Dashi from the marine products and dried fish after all” (Mio)

“D-Dashi is it?” (Hibiki)

“Yes” (Mio)

“Just because of that?” (Hibiki)

“? That’s right. If you know about ways to cook, it would be a pity to have you die. Just that. Now Hibiki, you have already taken care of your worries, so please give me some of your time” (Mio)

Without any concern, Mio just answers the words of the dazed Hibiki.

“Mio-dono, we are grateful for saving us, but we are unable to agree to your request. The reason we came here is to train and get good equipment. Sadly, we don’t have time to spare…” (Wudi)

Wudi opposes Mio’s proposal. Hibiki’s group came to Tsige because they were looking for an outstanding place to train. And also to find equipment that matches their skills. For the sake of the rematch with the demon general and also to overcome Stella Fort this time for certain. All of these actions are for that sake.

“Stop it. To be defeated by an enemy of that level and moreover for a party that has the decision making of a baby, stepping into the wasteland will just turn you into feed. Your levels may be high, but in that place that just makes you a child with big build. It’s impossible-desu” (Mio)

Mio rejects Wudi’s speech as if amazed. It wasn’t that she belittled them or scorned them. It was like she was really admonishing a kid.

“Even so! We have to get stronger! We don’t have the time!” (Hibiki)

Mio sighs at Hibiki’s intense words. Because she saw in her eyes the light of an adventurer hurrying to its death place, the characteristic eyes of a person with narrowed vision.

“I don’t understand. I thought you were adventurers who were a bit different, but do you have an objective that makes you hurry that much?” (Mio)

“That is…”

“But I want you to at least repay me for saving your life? Also, no matter how strong you are, do you intent to take such a small child to the wasteland?” (Mio)

“…”

“Silent-desu ka. To think you guys were more stupid than I thought. Hmph, even so, this is troubling. I also can’t back off after all…” (Mio)

“Mio-san, for a while we will be moving in the day. So how about I tag along with Mio-san at night?” (Hibiki)

“From how you said it, it feels like there might not even be that many days-desu wa ne. I see, what should I do…?” (Mio) <Hinting that they will die in a few days if they continue>

Hibiki and Mio converse across the counter.

There, one man cuts in. It’s a man that just like Mio, came from the interior of the store.

“Then, how about this?”

“N, Beren. Do you have an ingenious idea?” (Mio)

“It’s not to the point of calling it ingenious though. Mio-sama wants to ask about cooking to that lady there right? And if possible, learn the techniques as well” (Beren)

“Yeah” (Mio)

“And so, the group says they want to get stronger at the wasteland” (Beren)

“Yes. That’s the reason why we came” (Hibiki)

Aside from Hibiki who answered, the others also assent.

“I see, just like how Mio-sama said, if it continues like this, you guys will die in given time. Practically certain” (Beren)

“!!”

“Beren, don’t beat around the bush and just say it!” (Mio)

“Sorry for the discourtesy. If you are going to teach Mio-sama cooking, in regards of teaching her, I will also provide everyone with equipment that fits you in deferred payment. You can leave to the wasteland at that time. That way, until the equipment is done… let’s see, three days maybe. In that time it will be done. After that, you will continue teaching Mio-sama cooking at night. What do you think? Excuse me for my impoliteness, it is true that everyone’s equipment is reasonably good, but they seem to be quite damaged. To go to the wasteland like that is suicide” (Beren)

“… Can we be at peace by just changing the equipment?” (Mio)

“Then, how about having Toa and the others accompany them as well? If it’s Mio-sama’s request, they won’t refuse” (Beren)

“I see. If it’s them, as long as it is in the day there’s not much to worry. Beren, wasn’t it an ingenious idea after all?” (Mio)

“I am honored. And so, how about it?” (Beren)

The opinions of the people inside the counter had been arranged and the dwarf craftsman asks for the answer of Hibiki’s group.

“Three days huh. You can’t shorten that time?” (Bredda) <If I were a blacksmith, I would have stabbed him in the throat for that one>

“I will be taking the measurements now so. It is a different story from just repairing. Three days is an incredibly short time that no matter what craftsmen you ask would concur” (Beren)

To Bredda’s question, the craftsman Beren answers politely. Inside him, he was amazed by the knight who didn’t understand smithing.

“What prove do we have that the accompanying adventurers can be trusted?” (Wudi)

It’s the magician Wudi. He was worried whether the people accompanying can be trusted. To have the adventurers you hired betray you, isn’t that unusual of a story. If a betrayal occurs in a dangerous place, it can even kill them all.

“Toa-dono is the person at the top of Tsige’s list. Her face is known and she is not the kind of person who would do unreasonable things. Her party’s average level is over 450 and its ability can soon be called high class” (Beren)

“450?!”

“Also, they are adventurers Mio-sama trusts. If you say there’s no way you can trust them, then at that time we would have to think of another way” (Beren)

“?!”

Wudi trembles at the gaze mixed with blood thirst that Beren released for a second. He felt like he wouldn’t hesitate to take unscrupulous means. To feel danger from a conversation about cooking is just unreasonable.

With a nod that one could take as consent, Wudi steps back.

“Hibiki, what will you do? I do think this proposal is advantageous for your party though?” (Beren)

“… I count on you” (Hibiki)

“Great! Then let’s begin the measuring as soon as possible. Beren, hurry. The first one will be Hibiki okay? After that, contact Toa and…” (Mio)

“Everyone, over here please” (Beren)

Being invited by Mio and Beren, Hibiki’s group disappears into the interior of the store.

Limia’s Hero began her restart in the borderland.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

This is the first time in Hibiki’s life that several months felt so short.

Now it feels nostalgic the times when they were surprised by the performance of the weapons Beren and the other elder dwarfs created.

From the adventurer party of the girl Toa they were presented to, they have learned the adventurer way of decision making and way of thinking. Toa who was filling the role as party leader, is the type who uses speed as weapon and while it is the same type as Hibiki, she uses a different method to take advantage of the enemy’s openings, and she was able to become a good sparring partner for Hibiki. Toa who thought of Hibiki as a person of her same trade, didn’t find the chance to show Hibiki her trump card and hidden skills. No one knows what the result would be if a real fight were to happen. At least Hibiki thinks that she doesn’t want to confront her.

Lately, Hibiki has not been increasing her level, however, her strength has clearly increased.

At first, Hibiki who was still dragging her trauma of losing her companion, splendidly lost in a spar with Toa who was close to her level. She already has experience, but this is the first time that Hibiki has lost to a hyuman so badly. By the way, she also sparred with Mio, but the result was a complete defeat. She practically didn’t let her do anything.

One time, late at night in the inn where she had expanded a barrier in case of intruders and was sleeping, there was a case when Mio had, not broken the barrier, but passed through it and woke her up. Hibiki who was struggling because she didn’t know what was happening, got easily subjugated and was dragged to the kitchen by Mio who had sparkling eyes, to teach her cooking.

There was a time when Hibiki who was particularly stuck to the idea of levels, didn’t understand why she lost to Toa who has a lower level than her, and had to ask.

“When I was in Zenno, I was like that. Well, aren’t levels just one of many indicators?” (Toa)

Is what Toa thought as she remembered the masked merchant.

“Having a high level is just proof that you have killed a lot. You shouldn’t feel strength from a number but with your body” (Mio)

This was said by Mio. It was slightly mixed with the masochism when she was controlled by hunger, but Hibiki didn’t notice it. She was only looking at Mio with admiration.

And that Mio who was being taught by Hibiki the way to make Dashi from dried fish and konbu, had the sparkling eyes of a child.

A companion that has the same black hair as her, and even if it’s only limited to cooking, she is able to talk to her about the knowledge of her previous world in a favorable light. As Hibiki was steadily conquering her trauma, she was at the same time growing dependent of Mio.

Tonight will be the last night her party will be staying in Tsige.

A repatriation order had been send by Limia.

At first, because they were being treated favorably by the dwarfs, Hibiki’s party were a target of envy, but being friends with Toa’s party and the mutual cooperation in the wasteland, and at the same time as Hibiki conquered her trauma, she slowly regained her disposition of attracting spirits and were slowly being accepted by the adventurers in this remote region.

That’s why tonight, a party was being held for the sake of her and her party, and a great number of adventurers were sad at their parting as they make a racket. There were some who decided to follow Hibiki’s party to Limia and there were others who had decided to fight alongside her.

Bredda and Wudi were dead drunk and in that state, they disappeared somewhere. Maybe they were kidnapped by women who were sad by their departure and wanted to pass a night of passion with them.

Chiya didn’t have adventurers who were the same age as her and felt left out, so she had a time when she was homesick, but because she hit it off with Toa’s sister Rinon, she was having fun in this party as she drank juice and in the end, the two of them happily went to sleep on the same bed.

And Hibiki…

Had left the tumult and was on top of the rampart that surrounds the town. It couldn’t compare to the modern sight of neon, but at her back there’s the lighted town of Tsige. At her front, there’s the gold highway. The place where the wealthy merchant Rembrandt and his butler saw off Misumi Makoto, is exactly this place.

She is not alone.

From the inner part leaning at the rampart, there is a woman looking at Hibiki. It’s Mio.

“I heard you have something to talk about? Is it something that you have to ask me to come all the way here for-desu no?” (Mio)

“… Yes. In that place where a party is being held, I just felt like the mood was not right” (Hibiki)

Hibiki who was looking at the highway, turns around.

“Make it short. Being in this kind of place at midnight can create unnecessary misunderstandings” (Mio)

“As always, when it isn’t related to cooking you are so cold, Mio-san. Understood, I have two things I want to convey” (Hibiki)

“…”

“First, Mio-san thank you very much” (Hibiki)

Hibiki lowers her head deeply and gives her thanks.

“If we didn’t meet Mio at Koran, I think we wouldn’t be alive. The wasteland was a lot harsher than we thought. The trigger was Horn running wild, but I am really glad that I met you Mio-san” (Hibiki)

“I also had an objective after all. There’s no need to thank me” (Mio)

(Also, the reason why that wolf called Horn attacked me was because he reacted to my smell. Through the end it seems these guys didn’t realize that I am the black spider they fought, but only that thing noticed it. There’s no helping it that he attacked me. Also, I have already “silenced” Horn, so there’s no need for me to tell her) (Mio)

Mio found out the reason the silver wolf attacked her. On top of that, she gave detailed instructions to Horn and had him unable to disclose anything to Hibiki and the others. Thinking about the conditions, that wolf wouldn’t disclose anything, is what Mio thought with peace of mind.

“I was surprised that you even had katanas, but the sword that Beren-san made is really incredible. Our meeting with him is also thanks to Mio, so please accept my thanks” (Hibiki)

Hibiki had her heart quite moved when she saw the katana at the elder dwarfs’ workshop. It is also because she originally practiced kendo. When she took it in her hands and unsheated it, she was dazzled by that beauty and gulped her breath.

But, Beren bluntly told Hibiki that she is not fit for a katana and cut off her longing eyes.

Beren who had seen her sword, had warned her that Hibiki’s sword technique didn’t fit katanas anymore.

“I can tell that the skills that lie in young lady’s body are originally techniques that handle single edged swords. However, the sword that young lady is swinging right now is clearly double-edged sword techniques. I don’t recommend the katana which also has a special method of maintenance. That’s my opinion as a person who recommends weapons” (Beren)

There was no mistake.

The way of using a sword that Hibiki had originally known was kendo and a bit of fencing. Apart from kendo which she continued in club activities, she also learned a bit of fencing, but because of reasons, she soon had to stop.

And so, when she came to this world, she had now settled with the real combat sword techniques of the now deceased Naval that are mixed with self-taught techniques as well as the way of fighting with the bastard sword. To use a katana now might be difficult, she herself knows that.

Accepting the warning obediently, Hibiki for the first time obtained a weapon that surpassed her abilities. Contrary to how it has been in the past, she had to train to be able to properly pull out the capabilities of the weapon. That sword which was mixed in with Beren’s playful side, is a sword that’s bigger than a bastard sword and its appearance is one that can compare to a big sword, but it was unexpectedly lighter than the sword Hibiki used.

If she accurately took into consideration its size, she is able to use it just like her previous sword. That Beren used the scythe Mio showed him nonchalantly as material is one of the secrets that have not been revealed to Hibiki.

Remembering that gratitude as well, Hibiki turns her gaze away from Mio and looks at the night sky.

“I think right now I am only able to bring out about half of the capabilities of this sword. Beren-san also said I still haven’t been able to bring out the trick to it and was disappointed. To leave before finishing a task, is honestly mortifying” (Hibiki)

“Not really. The current you can get proper training even without staying here. You probably will be able to use Beren’s creation in a near future” (Mio)

“I will do my best. And so, about the other thing I want to convey” (Hibiki)

Hibiki, unusual from her, was showing a look like she is having a hard time choosing her words. Having drunk and eaten enough and not having any urgent business, Mio just waits silently for Hibiki’s words.

“… Mio-san, could you please come together with us? In the end I wasn’t able to meet him, but I will definitely make sure not to show discourtesy to the company’s representative!” (Hibiki)

Hibiki has not met the Kuzunoha Company’s representative, Raidou. It is someone that comes in conversations at times and she has also heard stories from Toa. That mysterious merchant who seems to have skill, in the end didn’t return from stocking up and Hibiki and none of her companions have met him.

It’s just that it was clear that Mio, Beren and the people in the company admire him a lot and when they told Hibiki about Raidou, they showed extraordinary pride.

“I don’t want to-desu. I have Waka-sama after all. I told Hibiki too right?” (Mio)

Immediate answer.

“Then together with that Waka-sama. I will also prepare it so he can make a store there” (Hibiki)

“That’s also a no-desu. Didn’t I tell you that Waka-sama is currently busy?” (Mio)

There were no points where Hibiki could find compromise.

“… This is just an example but, if my wish concerned the world and you pulling back drags Mio-san’s important Waka-sama, and turns into a situation where your strength is necessary to cope with. Would you still say that?” (Hibiki)

I am a hero, through the end, Hibiki didn’t tell Mio. She deceived her by randomly telling her that her knowledge of cooking was learned from reading books. Of course, it is a lie that just by asking would soon crumble. But for Mio, the important part was the cooking knowledge and techniques and anything else was irrelevant.

It’s also because she was uneasy about revealing her position of hero to Toa and Mio, and changing their way of treating her. Being able to stay as a simple adventurer, this several months were fresh, and are really regretful times to part from.

“Not even worth discussing. I don’t care about the world at all-desu. What’s important is Waka-sama only. If it turns into a situation where a mere woman like me has to provide reinforcement to resolve, it means that Waka-sama can deal with it as well. Then I just need to stay at that grand person’s side, and put my life for him” (Mio)

“… No matter what?” (Hibiki)

“No matter what-desu wa” (Mio)

Hibiki thought about just revealing that she is a hero once and for all, but she soon threw away that thinking. Mio said she doesn’t care about the world. Then, even if she reveals that she is a hero that has been called to protect the hyuman society, it wouldn’t affect the negotiation.

(Just who in the world is this Waka-sama that Mio-san is so in love with? Toa-san also said that he is on a whole different level and made a wry smile after all. Could it be that guy and Mio’s group could even save the world?) (Hibiki)

The comment Hibiki thought jokingly might not be that much of a stupid one, is what she will think back in given time.

“… Fuh~. No matter what huh. I have been splendidly rejected” (Hibiki)

“If you are a person with the role of managing a party, you must know that having it easy and being comfortable is a minus. I don’t intend to follow the orders of anyone aside from Waka-sama” (Mio)

“Yes yes, thanks for all the sugar. This is all I wanted to convey. Then Mio-san, with this…” (Hibiki)

“Yeah, take care when returning” (Mio)

“Yes. Mio-san, please visit Limia when you have the chance. At that time I will remember more recipes” (Hibiki)

“Ara, this is the first appealing proposal you have made. I will keep it in mind” (Mio)

For the end, Hibiki did a deep bow and leaves.

That’s how the strange meeting of Mio and Hibiki had ended.

      1. Follow this place on wordpress, you get a notification every time someone posts. Easier to see a “(1)” in your browser than to f5 over and over.

          1. Nah buddy, just a regular account is fine. Just go to wordpress.com and set yourself up.

          2. Do you see the bar at the top of the page? It should have “My Site” and “Reader” on the left, and your picture and a bell on the right. If you have that, you have an account. Try clicking on “Reader”. If you have nothing there, that means you’re not following this page, so you’re not getting updates. Come back to this page and hit the “Follow” button above where it says “Recent Comments”.

          3. I get that what I’m talking about is that I don’t get a notification on my phone when there’s an update that’s why I have to go on WordPress every hour or something to see if there’s an update

          4. I don’t do anything with my phone, I just have a tab with wordpress open and whenever there’s a new post, the tab gets a (1) on it.

      2. I have it set so I get an email each time Reigo-senpai posts something. As my iPod is set to my hotmail, I get a notification as soon as WordPress sends an email and because I leave my PC on I can immediately get here as fast as I can to reserve for Firo.

      3. If you use Chrome why not just download the extension RSS Feed Reader add this site and any other’s to the list set it to poll every 5 minutes and call it a day?

  1. Not exactly a positive reaction from Mio, though it is better than that Trash-kun and Tomoe. I have to say, these heroes are kinda hard to like, because they have a very inflated opinion of themselves. Hibiki is more mature, but I attribute that to the death of that Swordswoman chick. If it were the original her, I would say this meeting would have been an absolute disaster.

    1. True, Hibiki seems like a reasonable girl, but I keep getting the ‘brat who knows nothing about the way the world works” aura from her.
      In other word, compared to Makoto, she’s a greenhorn.

      1. The sad part is that she was in that world longer than Makoto. Makoto pretty much had to go through the school of hard knocks and learn everything the hard way as soon as he got there. The bug actually did him a favor by rejecting him, or else he would have a REALLY big ego, despite his looks.

      2. I was half expecting Mio to powerlevel her for a time, but it looks like Toa got the job.
        Called it on the equipment though. Other than Hibiki’s sword, guess the others just got generic equipment.

        And poor Hibiki, being yanked awake in the middle of the night to go cooking lol.
        Nothing more humbling than setting up a barrier… and have someone walk through it like it didn’t exist.

      3. don’t forget, makoto is more mature now
        he already killed someone out of anger of his own mistake (well yeah, it is his mistake), so (maybe he have less regret

        and Hibiki is lost her companion because her incompetent, but she can’t do anything to revenge it, so her regret is greater

        the difference is too big

    2. Not too sure on that, her character is proud but I don’t think arrogance was part of her mental makeup. It’s less “inflated opinion” but more to the fact that Mio and her have almost no common point of reference at all. Hibiki wants to save the world (from demonkind-or that is how she sees it), Mio doesn’t give a damn. Hibiki could count on a country’s army and patriots to aid her if she requests it, but Mio isn’t even someone from that country at all.

      It’s not really overbearing requests, just made in an area where she has no influence.

      1. Before Mio met MC, she was foreshadowed by Tomoe as the creature that might end up eating the entire world one day so it is pretty funny that Hibiki is asking Mio for help when Mio used to be the Calamity Spider that could have eventually be the reason for the death of the world as she runs out of things to eat.

    1. Hibiki was there for months, I can’t believe that neither Tomoe nor Makoto ever came to see how it was in Tsige ( especially Tomoe since she left just a few days to investigate )

      1. Plus Tomoe opened the gate to transfer them to Tsige after Mio knocked them out.
        Well, it’s likely that Mio didn’t care enough about them (except for cooking) to notice that Hibiki was an otherworlder and that Tomoe didn’t pay attention to some adventurers.
        Well, ti’s also possible that Tomoe noticed and took all the historical drama from Hibiki’s memories :p

  2. When I first heard about how Mio and Hibiki were on top of the castle wall,
    I thought Hibiki was going to say that she was an other worlder, in the end,
    it unfortunately turned out to just be a fruitless recruitment attempt.

      1. Mio:”so be a good boy and just keep your mouth shut okay? Butttt if she finds out and Waka-sama heard of it *smile**crack*…..understand?”
        Horn: “*woof!* (Yes!)” (Shaking)

  3. Yeah… another chapter I had to keep my trap shut on. Neither Hibiki or Mio knows each others’ secrets… yet. Still, it was nice to read this properly instead of through hard work in the MTLs. So for that, thank you Reigo-senpai.

    (Just who in the world is this Waka-sama that Mio-san is so in love for? Toa-san also said that he is on a whole different level and made a wry smile after all. Could it be that guy and Mio’s group could even save the world?) (Hibiki)

    Oh Hibiki, if only you knew. Not to be a grammar nazi, but “in love with” would had been better. Now that that out of the way, Hibiki needs to learn her place. She was so far in her funk that Toa was kicking her ass. Mio kicking Hibiki’s as well was just to be expected. There are not many things in that world that can even dream to compare to Mio in battle.

    1. You just need to know her weaknesses.
      If you ever got into a fight with Mio… throw her a VCD player and a box of anime VCD and run like hell. You got approximately 45 min per disk to get out of range. 🙂

    2. Any chance of a hint about how bad Hibiki is gonna freak out when she finds out? It’s obvious she’s gonna take it badly and freak out, but on a scale of 1 to 10?

    3. Well it’s good to have someone strong anyway, especially if they are even stronger then you. They can carry the whole team if needed lol. But at least she knows to give up when the other party refuse, unlike a certain hero.

      1. Usually in that situation, the weaker members of the party drag the strong members down and increase the risk. That’s why balanced levels is important for a party.

      2. Unless you have Mio. Not much can get through her defences and even if anything did, she can regenerate. She’s probably the ultimate tank. Shen/Tomoe’s mist is probably the ultimate crowd control, so even if it isn’t balanced, she can still carry the team like Tomoe did for Toa, but it is bad habit forming to assume your tank is invincible.

  4. Thank you!^^

    Hahaha, I had imagined Mio would be invited! And I enjoyed Hibiki wondering about Makoto LOL

  5. “Three days huh. You can’t shorten that time?” (Bredda)
    “Sure, what size do you want your bikini armour?

    😛

    1. Seriously, I’m surprised that Beren didn’t flash any killing intent at that question. It at least deserves a kick in the ass, asking a blacksmith to rush his craft that much.

      1. Can’t “like” unless you get a WordPress account, pity.
        I can imagine Muscle Head in the next battle wearing a g-string and bikini. 🙂
        It would serve him right lol.

        – Bredda wins!-

        He might just win the war by himself. 🙂

  6. Good job Hibiki. Thats all I can say. She is not the best, but certainly better than the other hero by miles away.

    I wonder how jelly Tomoki will be when he meet Hibiki again later and learned she got some new epic equips from Tsige far better than him. From the company that Tomoe came from too, Kuzunoha. The butthurt is real.

    Thanks Rei

  7. it might have been better if Bredda and Wudi are the ones who died instead of Naval. seriously they are too pampered just because they are with Hibiki. oh well that is Bug’s world for you.

    Thanks for the chapter 😀

    1. Don’t forget that Bredda is actual a prince of Limia, so he gets pampered anyway. Still, I’m sure that Hibiki and her crew had a lot of rude awakenings thanks to meeting Mio.

      1. Oh i forgot he’s part of the trash nobles.

        and only ones i care in their party are Chiya and Hibiki,not using her hero status unlike the other trash is a great start.

      1. Greetings ohmariowv, I’m kami – sama and you died a dog’s death…..you got run over by a run away toy car with toy lights on….and…pfffft. .. died from shock soiling your pants pfffft hahaha….ahem…so you could go to heaven, there’s nothing to do there, or go to a different world and defeat the maou, if you choose the different world, you will be allowed to take with you 1 thing of your liking, from cursed swords to pantsus…just a note you can’t take gods with you. ..

  9. “Bredda and Wudi were dead drunk and in that state, they disappeared somewhere. Maybe they were kidnapped by women who were sad by their departure and wanted to pass a night of passion with them.”
    Damn! I like that treatment in the real world too!!! 🙁

    Thanks for the chapter…

    1. You don’t know real life.
      More likely, the guys in the group stripped them naked while drunk and threw them both into the same bed for the lutz. 🙂

      1. Thank god I don’t drink. 🙂

        I know of college pranks where they stripped the guy and locked him outside. After knowing things like that, you really reconsider drinking, especially with “friends” lol.

  10. Awwwww I didn’t even notice I caught up with the translation after coming here from manga T_T thank you for the translations!

    1. I wish I could be like you and erase all my memories of this, just so I could enjoy reading this again for the first time. Binge reading it all at once.

  11. expecting custom armor and weapons for 4(?) people shorter than 3 days, that bredda person really needs a reality check.(ironic in a world of fantasy but as someone who read a lot of crafting stories I am fine with it)

    1. He is of Royalty so expected it. I doubt he even knew how and what is made of. He just orders his retainers to fetch him a sword and a few minutes later, voila! He probably thought it the same, despite sneaking to Hibiki’s group for months already. That imbecile.

      1. Be fair, not many of us know how long manufacturing takes either. You know how long it takes to make a rifle? Kevlar vest? I sure don’t, not with any certainty.

      2. Without modern factories I would say “more then a day” as a safe guess. I would assume that making gear for 4 people would take more then 1 day per person. Whilte its true that there are a fair number of edwar around Hibikis party don’t know how many workers there are and if they are working on other projects.

        Unless the idiots assumed that there were a lot of workers and they would drop everything to do some random adventurers a favor.

      3. @Owl,

        Yes I don’t know how but that doesn’t mean I would shamelessly blurt out to “make it more quickly!” and make a fool of myself or seem arrogantly conceited.

        Also consider my standing, a commoner where it did’t involve guns(a simple house for two can be built in a day, tried it, i have experience making things too just not rifles and such), where Bredda is royalty and uses swords. He should know the bare minimum and process time of making exceptional arms. He may not have expected tge superior quality but Bredda knew 3 dayd was already fast as seen by him not pushing it further.

  12. At least Hibiki knew when to back off on the katana, unlike someone who doesn’t even know how to use it and still wanted Tomoe’s.

  13. Thank god I was just getting fed up reading Sevens(currently@34).

    Anyway. It’s finally the last part of Mio chapter. I’m kinda honestly curious what Makoto will do wheb the spotlight returns to him.

    Also, did either Tomoe or Mio reported their meeting with 2 peculiar groups they encountered to thei Waka-sama? What a waste!

    1. Probably not. You have to remember, those 2 are really proud as well, even prouder than the trash hero group, it is just that they have the power to back it up. These 2 side events probably won’t even register in their consciousness for long. Tomoe, maybe. Mio? Most likely not, to her, Hibiki was “Cooking NPC-Japanese Food”.

      1. Still I think they should hsve reported it, Tomoe at least. Since she’s aware of the Hero parties as someone from the same world as her Master. For Mio, you are right… Lol

  14. Mio x Makoto ship is strong in this chapter.
    At this rate, this ship is unsinkable unless there’s a sudden major event for other heroines. Unlike Tomoe who still have obligation to the world as its residence, Mio doesn’t feel any lingering to this world except for Makoto. The world can burn for all she cares as long as she can be at Makoto side

    1. Did Tomoe have sth like that? I thought she was all about Asora’s development, remaking edo period, though she does kind of irritates me whenever her interests gets the better of her. And Makoto can’t do anything but concede.

      I like Tomoe the most but I ship MakotoxMio more as well. I can’t digest Tomoe ship just yet, but thats just me.

      1. It’s only my opinion, as a land of god that worshipped by many demis/mamonos, tomoe/shen have obligation to responded to her worshipper if they ask for her help (altho she doesn’t care for them at all because Makoto is more important to her than anyone else). That’s what i mean by obligation.
        While in Mio case, doesn’t have any lingering at all since she doesn’t even remembered anything when she’s still a black spider, and as a human personafication right now, Makoto himself is her world. She will do literally anything for him.
        I won’t call it Makoto x Mio ship right now because Makoto Clearly reject any romantic felling toward Tomoe or Mio at the present i fear that could change their relationship and right now it’s only one side love from Mio to Makoto so it’s Mio x Makoto for me. Hopefuly there’s an event to improve Makoto x Mio/Tomoe relationship in the future

      2. Tomoe is moving the land god business into Asora. everybody else can burn with the buggess if they don’t pass her standards

  15. Thank u always for ur great work…
    ^^…

    Got negotiation nailed, Mio got her cooking, and Hibiki.co got their equipment + experience + avoid the death…
    :3…

  16. Thanks for the chapter!
    You are really going on a roll with these very fast updates!
    I’m looking forward to more!

  17. Nice chapter again ..
    Hibiki didn’t knew Toa .. So may not be same highschool as WAKA-SAMA .
    Waiting for Waka and hibiki to meet ..

    1. She could be makoto junior in middle school. Or because she’s in different club at school (makoto etc is in kyuudo-bu and hibiki probably in kendo-bu since she said she learned kendo in school club). It could also means Hasegawa is not popular in school so hibiki’s not know her at all

      1. Well, they are in different clubs. Hibiki might have interest in Makoto but is unlikely to have noticed most of the other members.

        If a girl likes the captain or ace striker of a soccer team do you think she remembers any of the boys at the other positions? like the goalie? Especially if she is just watching the games from a distance she will only be watching the ones the is interested in, the rest of the players on the same team might as well have blank faces.

        Hibiki might have come to have interest in Makoto in the same way that Hasegawa did, by noticing him while I was doing is archery, either during class or during the time after class when he thought no one was around.

    1. I honestly agree with that. Why feel the need to save the world(from demons etc.,), if it were me being recruited id ask her what she knows about the world first. Someone who just think it is the “right” thing to do because one is “hyuman” without even knowing the inhabitants/races personally will just get the mid-finger from me. It is specialy true if the summonef Hero has been there for “months” already. This adventure to Tsige of the group should have noticed that Mammonos are not all bad, so it should hint that the same goes for the other race. Im aware it’s not easy with al the conflict but Hibiki only needs to realize it’s not only the “hyumans” she needs to save. More so because she’an otherworlder.

      1. You need to read more carefully. She *was* reluctant to fight, but the kingdom threw her into battle. She got over her hesitation when the people she got to know were getting killed by the demons, so it was either kill them or watch people you know get killed.

        What would you choose?
        Finger pointing should be done with care, not just randomly shot.

      2. I am well aware of that.

        What I am getting at is not that killing and stuff. What I am concerned about is Hibiki’s inability to realize that the “world” she was kidnapped to is not as “simple” ad it seems. Even in Earth people kill people, for money, oil, territory and for whatever reason. It’s the norm, whether we like it or not. So in this different world someone killing someone is also common. They get killed by demons, mammonos, etc., and that also includes hyumans killing hyumans. So obviously I had no issue with that.

        It’s not like I hate Hibiki, on yhe contrary she’s more decent than the other Hero. What I am saying she needs is to be more “aware” since she has the freedom to “think” for herself rather than what pepple says. Navals death gives her a time to reflect after overcoming her down moment, fon’t waste it. See the world and it’s inhabitant incognito.

        How is that finger pointing? I was’t badmouthing her, just stating some things she needs awareness of.

        1. I agree what you said about Hibiki. So far the only thing she has know about the goddess(bug) is that she is righteous and holy in that world. So, far she has not encounter anything that has being negative about the bug. Once she discovers the dark side of the goddess and like said finally see’s that everyone who has faith in the bug is a beautiful person and not one person who looks average. She will most likely start to learn more about this world. Right now she is treating the world like some sort of RPG game. Of course she might come to realize this if she and her friends meet Makoto.

  18. Hibiki is a bit dumb~ Considering she know herself and another to be heroes of this world. Considering she know waka to be an important and powerful figure. There’s not much of a leap to assume he’s a hero. She should have thought of it and ask Mio straight out.

    1. Well, the Goddess said that there was two heroes.
      She doesn’t care about Makoto and only took him in her world because she used the old contract with his parents to drag the heroes in her world.
      And since Hibiki met Tomoki, she wouldn’t be able to think that he is capable enough to create a succesful company. Or that he would care about demi-humans since he is pampered by racist people. Or that he would do something as dangerous as going to the wasteland.
      So it’s impossible for her to think that Waka-sama is a hero or an otherworlder.

      1. Certainly, she got info of 2 heroes directly from the goddess.
        However, she now know there’s another mysterious being with power.
        She should have asked about him by any means.
        We are talking about a mysterious being with knowledge of japanese things like katana or foods here. Where the heck does she think they come from? Out of thin air?

        1. Well, there’s also the fact that she lost her confidence after losing a companion and that she became dependent of Mio.
          She probably didn’t want to upset her by asking too many questions.
          Even if Mio would have probably been glad to talk about Waka-sama :p

    2. I agree she should have had a hint or doubt. She didn’t even ask where Mio and the Kuzunoha got yhe Katana from and where Mio’s interest in nothing but Japanese recipes sparked from. I mean she kniws Mio is doing it for her Waka-sama so a question should float like; “Where did this Waka-sama get tge knowledge from these dishes from” or; “isn’t it strange that Bredda and others surprised at seeing a Katana and these items despite being a resident of this world? It’s like this is the first such items appeared”. It’s a possible thought because her teammates aren’t normal people, one being a royalty so it’s not strange for him to have atleast heard of one of the items in store.

      I mean, c’mon Hibiki. Her group stayed in Tsige for quite a while not just a “couple” of days but weeks. That’s no longer just trauma or depress. It’s plain stupid. Or careless.

      1. She could at least have asked who this “waka-sama” is from the people in Tsige if not from Mio. And Toa doesn’t count.

        Also, should have asked where she can find “Waka” to go convince or see him.

      2. She did. Toa just gave her an answer “He is on a different level” while the rest of them just boasted and were proud of him, but they don’t know his background either.

      3. She did ask around. But the only people who know him better is those from Asora and Rembrant company. Not even Toa group know makoto to well…..
        And i don’t think Mio and the other will tell hibiki about makoto more than the basic background, “a company president”, “can’t talk common languange”, “master that we’re proudly served”, “VERY STRONG”….

    1. You’re not creative enough.

      I would have given him chainmail briefs and bikini armour. Ones with very, very good stats and leave him with a moral dilemma. 🙂 Sacrifice very good armour or his dignity as a man lol.

  19. Hahahahaha! I loved the TN comment about killing Bredda LOL

    And Toa’s party’s level was quite a surprise!

    Now, 2 things I have considered:

    1- Those guys have been knocked out by Mio, right? We didn’t get to see their reaction to that!

    2- If they spent months in Tsige, they should definitely know Mio’s level by now? I mean, the adventures board and all… Mio even took a few missions, right? And it would be too troublesome to tell the entire town to keep quiet about it, even for Mio…

  20. It’s pretty arrogant to think that just because you’re a special existence, people do whatever you want… Although, at least she changed her mind pretty quickly on that.

    Thanks for the chapter!

    1. Be fair. She really does have the authority to requisition troops in the kingdom of Limia. Think of Star Wars and the scene where Darth Vader walks past and tells the group of pilots “Come with me”. She has that authority, she just doesn’t use it often and it only works within the kingdom of Limia.

      I suspect people are a lot more harsh on her than she deserves just because the Bug picked her. Sure, she is naive and innocent, but that isn’t a crime and can be (and is currently) corrected.

      1. I have nothing against Hibiki. I actually like her, and I agree with you. Unlike Tomoki, she has a personality that doesn’t inconvenience those around her, and she’s suffering from some personal conflicts, so she’s definitely a character worthy of respect. I just don’t like this weird assumption she has that her actions are ‘saving the world.’ She was thrown into a different world by a total stranger with questionable motives and told to fight against enemies she doesn’t know anything about (apart from the biased opinions of the side she’s fighting for). She then expects that by saying, ‘the world is in danger, and by joining my in fighting you can save it,’ that someone will fight her battles with her. Yes, ‘naive’ is the perfect word to describe her at this point.

        I don’t hate her though, I just have a bad habit of voicing complaints when I have them, and her thoughts and words in this chapter just happened to annoy me while reading. Please don’t think I’m in any sort of Hibiki Hate Faction from my poor choice of words. By now, I think I’m trying too hard to justify myself :3, but yeah… I think Hibiki balances the characters in the stories well. Thinking about a story with just Tomoki as the hero makes me shudder. (Coincidentally, I would consider myself to be in the Tomoki Hate Faction).

      2. “(Coincidentally, I would consider myself to be in the Tomoki Hate Faction).”

        Is there anyone in the Tomoki Love faction other than people hypnotized by him? lol. Even his “princess” calls him a trash hero.

        Someone also complained earlier about why she “automatically sided with the hyumans”, but I think you should re-read the “Gossip” chapter about Hibiki. She did *NOT* side with the hyumans automatically, just that she was thrown into battle to train and in battle, she had only 2 choices. Kill the demons or let them kill the people she knows. And the other side isn’t in a negotiating mood either. In a battlefield, it is either you kill your enemy or he kills you. Whose side is right rarely comes into the picture.

      3. I get what you mean. Even though I know why she’s fighting, perhaps I’ve been acting a bit biased about Hibiki as a character because of the which side of the battlefield she stands on. Although I still don’t agree with her train of thought in trying to recruit Mio, I will accept that in her situation, it is the natural line of thought. Good… debate? You have pacified my raging soul… ( ._. )
        Seriously though, it’s quite interesting how quick someone is to judge a situation without thinking about it too deeply… You’ve made me think… You demon!

      4. Consider trying to recruit Mio a compliment. 🙂
        Hey, who doesn’t want to recruit an OPed character into your party?

        Wasn’t there a Chinese incident in the 3 kingdoms period where a ruler (Liu Bei-IIRC) personally visited Zhu Ge Liang (noted Chinese strategist) 3 times just to invite him to join him?

        When you are playing for keeps, you stack the deck. When you are gambling with your life in fighting, there is no such thing as “cheating”. If Mio wasn’t attached to Makoto, I would have invited her to join as well if I had a party. The chances of me surviving becomes a lot higher.

    2. Well shes not an idiot at all, she alread questioned why theres a war and tryed to contact the godness, she did it when parted with the other idiot hero, but in the end because she alread had a fight with mio, then demon captains, lost a friend and see the world of “hyumans being trashed” she took a side, i think in the future when she meet Tomoki it will become a turning point, she could try help the hyumans to make peace, or try to figth tomoki and become ashes, who knows the godness could simply try using her as a shield.
      I want to see the demon side at work, they alread know they cant mess with tomoki, but he will still try to find the secret of the unholy ring they have, it could become a epic fight or a great alliance at the end.

      1. I believe what saying is right with Hibiki. She has taken the first step in question when she lost to Toa, losing the battle at the fort, and wondering about the mask man. She learned even with the goddess blessing she is not powerful. Once she starts learn more about the world from both sides she will probably start to turn away from the goddess.

  21. Thanks for the chapter. I want more chapters focused on mio and tomoe but I guess ill have to wait for the next arc to end lol.

  22. after reading the comment section, I don’t understand the hate for hibiki. she is a good caracter, she is strong and have a good personality.

    She probably didn’t question the fact that mio have interest in japanese-like think, because if there are medieval european-like country there can have a japan-like country far away.

    Mio probably already told her where raidou is, but she can’t move without limia’s accord, so she can’t go recruit him now.

    1. I like Hibiki to. She is a good character, but putting a lot of weight on her shoulder’s that she have to save the world. She remind of the young Clark Kent from the Smallville series. He to acted like that he acted like that with his superpowers. It makes me in a way want her more now for her to see Hibiki. Chances are if they meet and become allies in that world the blessing of the Bug will be gone. Then she will not have to have all that weight or responsibility on her shoulders.

  23. “She already has experience, but this is the first time that Hibiki has lost to a hyuman so badly.”

    This is remarkable. After all, Hibiki’s base stats are huge, on account of being a transported human. It’s pretty much the equivalent of a human beating a saiyan in combat.

    Also, outside of Tsukuyomi’s max blessing, and the archery new game+ cheat, Makoto’s base stats are probably worse, since he’s a hyuman…. albeit one, who’s already adapted to Earth’s ‘high-altitude’ conditions.

    Of course, estimating the value of blessings is tricky – if Tsukuyomi is rougly equal to the Bug in power, Tsukuyomi put in max effort for Makoto, while the Bug blessed two individuals, at a low enough level that it didn’t much affect her own day-to-day capabilities.

    1. Hmm, Tsukuyomi-sama power can’t fight with the bug. Tsukuyomi-sama is only a minor god and that bug owns a world of her own. After Tsukuyomi-sama blessed Makoto, he fell asleep but the bug didn’t sleep after blessing two people. That’s the power difference of the two. True that maybe Tsukuyomi-sama’s blessing might nedd to use more power but bug gave at least 2 abilities to the heros.
      What you say may be true but I just can’t agree the part about the bug and Tsukuyomi-sama’s power because this is the ugly truth as much as I hate it….

      1. Tsukuyomi is considered a minor god because of how abilities are ranked and not their actual power rankings. Buggess may have the highest rank for being a creator god, but she is a minor one that can’t create worlds and it even took her a while to create the hyuman race. She literally just stole the world from the original inhabitants.

        Buggess did give the heroes multiple abilities, but nothing truly powerful. Tsukuyomi gave Makoto the Sakai ability the first time and the 2nd blessing was an emergency boost to strengthen his body so he wouldn’t die from the fall nor the couple weeks he went without food/water/rest in the wastelands. That 2nd blessing is what forced Tsukuyomi to sleep as the buggess never put that much power into her blessings.

        It was the 2nd blessing that allowed Makoto to defeat Tomoe with his bare hands.It’s also the reason why Sophia and her sword which is the body of a dragon were only able to cut off 2 fingers which were not protected by the armor that the eldwas made.The heroes were never given a stronger body so they still have to wear armor which is mostly unnecessary for Makoto as he can only be harmed by beings with the power of a dragon.

  24. Hey friend when others get the chapter and I can not stand ler 91 till the fine porfabor diganme how much is ban to take I can not wait

  25. Hey friend when it comes out the other chapter and not take it I want to read the fine porfabor 91 till the ban to tell me how much is the latest I can not wait

  26. Hoo… It’s nice that hibiki learned what strength truly is. And, it seems Tsige is becoming something like a minor faction now (in strength) in the world. Hope it then becomes the Nexus for Raidou in the future…

    1. He can’t afford to have it be more then a satellite store, if it offically becomes anything more the king of the country Tsige is in might try to pressure him to follow his commands, and Raido is trying his best to avoid that.

      1. It may become strong enough that they could pressure against the king to do rash decisions… But as the Bug manages this world… They might just become a meal for Mio.

  27. So… I thought that Makoto was OP because he was an otherworlder, and that’s why he was crazy strong even before he started the bow training that multiplied his mana. Plus, he stays a lvl1. Furthermore, he’s genetically just a hyuman, so he shouldn’t be as strong as an actual human.
    Yet, the two heroes, also from the same world, fully human, and on top of that crazy high levels, are somehow incredibly weaker than him.
    WHY!?

    1. Makoto was actually extremely weak and would have died without the bow training on Earth. his entire family all had different abilities, but Makoto’s was the strongest by the time Tsukuyomi was selecting the hero candidates.

      Makoto’s ability to double his mana through meditation is his own ability that he had before he was chosen as a hero and Sakai is his actual ability from divine protection.

      1. there is also the fact the Tsukuyomi used his entire power to grant divine protection to Makoto which caused him to sleep for 100 years. in other words, Makoto has an entire god’s worth of mana used to strengthen his body so he wouldn’t die to anything.

        buggess only used enough power on 2 heroes that she wouldn’t need to sleep afterwards. even then, i don’t think she gave them physical enhancements outside of the mana they have.

        basically, Makoto has a powerful innate ability, a god-like skill, and a god’s body. the heroes just have god-like skills, but are severely limited by the fact that they weren’t given a body that can fully use those abilities.

  28. Well, I usually don’t like POV but surprisingly, those ones were good chapters ! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!
    Thanks for the chapter !

  29. Thanks for the chapter! I finally caught all the way up with the story it has taken abut a week or so while also trying to keep up with the other 45 books I’m reading when chapters are released as well as working full time. It’s been fun and I anxiously await future chapters.

    1. I know how you feel. I doing the exact same thing you are. Once I got up with a series I keep up with series as soon as it is posted, then I will read another series to add it on.

          1. Awesome, I just stated reading WN and LN’s about a year ago. Before that it was manga and before that anime. But i’m glad t be reading more I used to read a lot as a kid but kind of feel out of it I’m glad I came back to it.

          2. I know what you mean. Back then I use to read a lot like stories like “The Box Car Children”, “Harry Potter”, “The Son of Neptune”, “Eragon”, etc. After reading I nothing else so started to buy manga, anime, and video games. Which I could read the books over again or watch the anime and play the same video game over again. After found sites like this it got me back into reading. And ever since then I have focusing on trying to catch up to a series and keeping up with the series and reading now. Now that Yen On has publishing light novel have being purchasing them as well. Makes me glad to that I am going back to reading.

          3. Yeah, back then I did not have much money. And lived out in the middle of no where with crazy neighbors. I was pretty isolated with bad internet connection had to do with could back then. Now lived in a city area with excellent internet connection.

          4. Nice yeah I used to be in boarding schools for a while so I couldn’t even watch show or things like that online so i only got into all this in the past 3-4 years have gotten really int all of it.

          5. Yeah, I am thankful that I can read things like this or I will be wasting my life way like some of the other people that I see at my job and such. Who really just talk about the same things over again or in a different context.

  30. I am looking at Hibiki She is some one lacking knowledge. She needs to train and learn about the world she is living in. She also needs to be caustics and plan things out. She may have to get new part members that is more knowledge about the world and can help as a tour guide.

    While it seems that Mio remeber Hibiki from before, the form probably does not know that later is the Limia Hero

    I think that Hibiki should have stayed longer and trained with Tao.

  31. An add on
    Above all Hibiki need to take some time off to think and relax. Maybe even a vacations and get some kind of therapy. Which probably doesn’t exist in this world do to its time period and development. Anyway she should review her time in this world and what has happened. Possible writing out a journal of events and her current statues. What she can and can’t do She needs to take her care of her needs and wants. She should plan for the future and what she could can do write. She may also have to go back to square one and work her way back up. With basic physical training eating right, learning, reading books, sleep regularly. Maybe even get a day job or a hobby. She doesn’t need to fight all the time. Limia has an army and they can fight the good fight.

    1. You read the part where they stated the reason why she had to go back?

      Recall orders.
      Do you really want to go AWOL?

      And no. No caustic Hibiki. Her being caustic will just turn her into another rude ass like Tomaki a.k.a Trash hero.

      1. I think he meant cautious. In that I’d agree. She also needs to learn how to be more assertive when it comes to protecting her interests. That being said, if Hibiki survives long enough, she’ll become a good leader. Losing someone close in war is the hardest thing to overcome for a new leader, followed only by learning how to back away from a losing fight. It’s even harder for someone as young as she is, with the little experience of war that she had. As far as Tomoki goes, he should take a long walk into the nearest ocean while taking deep, deep breaths. He’s a spoiled piece of trash only suitable for cannon fodder.

        This is a great story, and grammar issues aside, a great job of translating Reigokai-sama.

  32. Thanks for the chapter~!
    It is delicious! Look forward to the next one~
    I think when Makoto meet with Trash Hero, that Trash will look down on him. But when Makoto meet Hibiki, I think she would not believe his ability….. At least until she see his ability.
    Hibiki is the talented type where she don’t really give too much afford until to come to this world. Afterall she is the talented everyone’s goddess before coming to this world. I can’t blame her wanting to recruit Mio and her master “Raidou”. She a good person, but a bit naive in some ways but overall she is a good hero compare to that trash. I don’t like that trash. He is so naive! I have a bit mix feels about Lily. But I don’t like trash having a good harem(?). If he becomes better maybe I will not call him trash…

    1. I’m sure Hibiki will despise the MC ! That’s just the way she thinks. I explain myself :
      As you said she’s the talented type moreover she’s been worshiped as the great hero by everyone, how do you think she’ll react when seeing someone she knows, be that overwhelmingly strong and even going as far as to steal Mio from her ! At the same time, Makoto isn’t a bad guy so she can’t bring herself to fully fight him as the evil. Only leaving envy and admiration !
      Well, that’s just an hypothesis ! AHAHAHAHAHAH !!

      1. Well judging from Hibiki’s personality, disappointment comes first, I think. The possibility of Hibiki dislikes Makoto is also high thou….

  33. Some fun thoughts I had about when Makoto meets the two hearos:

    Tomoki is superficual and likely to look down on Makoto because of his apparent level.

    Depending on how they eventually meet, Makoto might ignore Hibiki, assuming that she is not from his world but is just someone that looks just like someone he knew from Earth. He knows that people can be identical in appearence to people from Earth. (Ex Toa)

  34. I am curious will the MC accept helping the heroes or reject helping the heroes. That part puzzles me his carries hatred towards the Goddess(bug), that may affect him decline helping the heroes. Yet at the same time tsukuyomi request him to help the heroes, wonder which direction will he take. Or maybe he will go for decline using reason his is only level 1 or his occupation is merchant. lol, looking forward to it.

  35. Mio is actually developing a whole lot over the past of these chapters, let’s hope for more Mio/Tomoe chapters, since they are very entertaining also.

  36. “Bredda and Wudi were dead drunk and in that state, they disappeared somewhere. Maybe they were kidnapped by women who were sad by their departure and wanted to pass a night of passion with them.”

    Ah? So easy?

  37. Bitch giving crap about saving world and thinking of world, while she only thinking about only sole Human race.

  38. “One time, late at night in the inn where she had expanded a barrier in case of intruders and was sleeping, there was a case when Mio had, not broken the barrier, but passed through it and woke her up. Hibiki who was struggling because she didn’t know what was happening, got easily subjugated and was dragged to the kitchen by Mio who had sparkling eyes, to teach her cooking.”
    -no one stands between Mio and her cooking lessons (also Tsuki ga michibiku isekai douchuu is a cooking novel) 😀

    Its good that Mio is getting used to interact with other people too and not just those from Asora. It helps her to mature a little and for better character development 🙂

    Thanks for the chapters!

  39. As a sword guy, I’m deeply offended that Hibiki has life fire practice with “bastard swords” her entire career as a fighter, but still likes katanas for some reason.
    Because she’s Japanese.
    Let me tell you that this is incredibly fucking stupid.

    1. Agreed… But this is not the only point I would critic – there are more things that shares the problem of a kind stupid ‘nationalism’. Also.. In this case, the two types of swords have complete different propositions: one is usually mainly to perforate and the other exclusively to cut.

  40. It kinda frustrating.. I was wishing it would be an encounter between Hibiki and Shen. Would be interesting. It make smore sense the way ot is as Mio would have slaughtered the male hero and his companions.. xD

  41. I am not a blacksmith and I still want to do that. They aren’t talking a single piece afterall. Even if a sword can be made in a day (assuming the smelting is the major part and needs to be done all at once, I can’t imagine armour being made too fast. 1 person outfitted in 3 days I would call fast, 1 party outfitted I would call absurd

  42. What? The katana isn’t the superior sword for everybody in every situation?

    Blasphemy.

    Lol, this Arc was so very refreshing after the encounter with Tomoki. Anyways, back to reading!

    1. “What? The katana isn’t the superior sword for everybody in every situation?”
      LOOL very much true

  43. “Save the world.”
    It’s fun how someone can just think they are doing the right thing because some random god said so.
