Chapter 179: Negotiation Breakdown

“Of course, it won’t be for free.” (Tomoki)

“…”

Give him Tomoe?

This guy certainly did say that.

It seems he is using his charm power and living a smooth life, but he is like a kid asking for a toy.

He really wants Tomoe who he was unable to obtain with his demonic eyes, and is now telling me to give her to him.

Is that what this is all about?

“The girls here are the daughters of nobles from the Empire. But they had some talent in battle, so I trained them.” (Tomoki)

“…”

I did lose my speech after that stupid utterance, but right now I am probably composed.

With the signal of that guy, Tomoki, the three girls that were at his back moved to both of my sides and my back.

“The level of those three are over 400. Their face and style, well, it is as you see. They are quite popular, you know? Well, compared to Japan, anyone in this world is good looking though. Hahaha!” (Tomoki)

“…”

The two at my sides are around my age.

A beautiful type and the other is a cute type. The last one that is at my back slightly bend and placing her hand towards my chin, seems to be older.

Did Princess Lily tell him my preferences, or is it just that this is simply his own hobby? I really don’t know.

The cute one is taking my hand and carrying it towards her breasts.

What a straight seduction.

Well, something like this… doesn’t matter at all.

“Lily has told me about Tomoe’s level. Even if we add numbers here, it wouldn’t be enough. If you want to, I can bring more. Later, I will guide you to where my harem is, so you can choose a number of them and take them with you.” (Tomoki)

“…”

Just how much of a joke is this guy.

No matter the details, they are supposed to be girls that yearn for him.

And also, Tomoe is practically family. An important existence.

I don’t have a single shred of intention to give her to someone who is trying to get her as if trading objects.

“Staying silent? Ah, you must be nervous.I can understand. You, don’t have experience right? Don’t worry. These girls will properly instruct you. At first, it is okay to just leave it in their hands. If I order it, they will go to whoever’s place, and they will obey anyone. I said this before, but these girls can fight at a level higher than standards. I promise you that I will properly tell them to devote themselves to you when I give them over.” (Tomoki)

“…”

Control them with charm, finish their training, and use them for battle.

When Root mentioned the Valkyries, he was referring to these girls huh. Or maybe, everyone in Tomoki’s harem are referred as Valkyries?

Whichever it is, his attitude feels like he is quite familiar with this type of situations.

Being Japanese, using people as object, and a high schooler before coming to this world; a person like that, how dare he act this naturally.

Are you telling me that he has already completely forgotten about Japan?

Is it really weird for me to cling onto it all this time?

“Hey, say something. What you wish! How many women do you want? Gold, land, rights for business; those things are fine too. What are you being all silent for?” (Tomoki)

I breathe in deeply.

Now then.

“…I refuse” (Makoto)

“Ah?” (Tomoki)

He asks me again.

In no way did I say this in a low voice.

He heard me, yet he still asked.

He is trying to coerce me.

Compared to Zara-san, this is a flimsy attempt.

“I said I refuse. For me and also for the company, Tomoe is not someone that can be replaced. Give it up.” (Makoto)

“… Are you seriously saying this?” (Tomoki)

“Give up. I won’t give you Tomoe. That is my wish.” (Makoto)

I clearly tell him this.

He was blatantly trying to coerce me and trying to shut me up with his presence.

“… You, you haven’t received any significant power from the Goddess, right? You are not that strong either. Tomoe and that other guy are quite strong, but they are not here right now. Lily has gone to deal with them after all.” (Tomoki)

“And?” (Makoto)

“I have a relative understanding of your abilities. You can’t beat me. Can’t you nod until being beaten by force? Are you stupid? This place is also perfectly sound-proof, you know.” (Tomoki)

“…If you don’t even intend to call me properly, there wasn’t much point in giving you my name. How can you properly gauge my power when this our first time meeting? Are heroes specialized in bluffs? Are you the type that is all bark and no bite?” (Makoto)

Can’t get a hint huh.

Even senpai was unable to notice much of my power, so I don’t think this thing can notice it.

Even if he is really the one that created that crater, that level of threat is no danger at all.

I already know that Tomoki is using some sort of tool to gauge my power.

In a sense, he is acting big out of a basis.

“You… it seems like you don’t properly understand the situation you are in right now.” (Tomoki)

Instantly after those words of Tomoki, blades were placed at my neck, heart, and wrists.

No need to say, this is the work of those girls.

Just that, they are not directly hitting me.

Even if it’s thin, these girls don’t have enough power to cut through my magic power armor after all. That’s why, it is natural that I don’t need to be on guard.

But a smile appears in Tomoki’s face.

“With this, are you still able to keep using that contempting mouth of yours, Raidou-dono?” (Tomoki)

“…”

A man that completely gets on my nerves.

He is more annoying than most hyumans.

“I can somewhat tell the power of others. The method is business secret though. You don’t have the power to defeat a single one of those girls. And, the reason why you are able to have Tomoe obey you despite that…” (Tomoki)

“…”

“Must be because you have a strong taming power. You must be able to control strong mamonos and dragons with that power of yours.” (Tomoki)

… Totally wrong.

I don’t know how he reached that conclusion, but there’s a lot of questionable points.

Most of all, I am grateful that he has brought out blades to coerce me.

He is the one that began.

That will clear my conscience slightly.

I will just have Tomoe search for Grount’s location and quickly finish my task.

I don’t want to stay long in this country.

No, if possible, I don’t want to come here anymore.

“Well well, I didn’t expect to be seen through. It seems heroes are existences I can’t underestimate.” (Makoto)

While saying things I don’t really mean, I strengthen the sound-proof barrier that was already present.

Harden the walls, and place a lock on the door as well.

Done.

“That’s why, if you turn over Tomoe to me, she will have to obey me. Right?” (Tomoki)

“I see, I see.” (Makoto)

Ignoring the three girls that have blades on my body, I place strength in my legs.

“Hey, you—?!” (Tomoki)

A high-pitched sound and a short scream of a girl, cut off the words of Tomoki.

One of the blades falls onto the table in between me and Tomoki and makes a sound. The women that were trying to restrain me lift their voices at me who is standing without caring about it.

I look down on Tomoki who is still sitting.

“To try obtaining Tomoe when you have only piled up this level of women, it seems that you have really looked down on my follower.” (Makoto)

“This is the center of the Empire. Do you understand just how disadvantageous it would be for you to get in trouble with me?” (Tomoki)

Without caring about my gaze, Tomoki actually rested his back and looks back at me.

And then…

“Yeah, I understand.” (Makoto)

“What?” (Tomoki)

“I will have to do my best to hush it up.” (Makoto)

“Fuh, stop the bluffing. A single merchant like you can get the patronage of a large country like Gritonia, moreover, the number of talents you own will increase, you know? Think about this properly, merchant. You might be the owner of a slightly big company, but don’t go getting heated up over a negotiation.” (Tomoki)

“Sorry to say but, even if I am called the representative, I am more of a decoration. To the point that the title is too much for me. If you were looking for such composure from me, your calculations were wrong. My place is a bit special you see. If I don’t punch you right now, I will probably make Tomoe angry later. Well, even without that, I would still do it though.” (Makoto)

It seems Tomoki has noticed my change in presence.

“Girls, that guy—!!” (Tomoki)

He tries to gives orders to the three girls that had taken a bit of distance from me…

But it’s too late.

“Sleep.” (Makoto)

Sealing the movements of the girls around by stretching the hands of the magic power armor, I used a direct sleeping spell.

As if acting in concert to my words, their bodies fall onto the rug.

While at it, I also made the maid sleep as well.

“!! ga”

Kicking the table, I create a path.

Advancing just as is, I grab his temples.

The resistance of the sitted Tomoki was weak, to the point that it makes me doubt the power of a hero.

Is he the type that gets stronger depending on prerequisites?

Even so, I won’t change what I will be doing.

It is his fault for being unable to show his true strength unless those moments occur.

I smash his face onto the floor.

I lift my leg to the back, and just like that, I kick his head.

The hero flies with quite the momentum and hits the walls. But, there wasn’t much change in the situation outside.

It seems like the effect of the soundproof and the hardening is showing good results.

I unhurriedly close the distance.

“Hn”

I stop my feet.

Something comes flying from Tomoki.

It’s not a spell. A tool, weapon.

A kind of throwing knife; three of them.

It doesn’t seem like normal knifes, but I don’t mind them.

I once again walk, and receive the thrown blades with the magic power armor. The moment the knives make contact, they shine brightly, and explode.

And what of it.

Without minding about it, I close the distance, and this time, the glaring Tomoki shoots a spell at me.

When I thought something shone, it hit the magic power armor.

It is fast, but powerless.

If you want to make me flinch, you will have to show firepower on the level of Sofia.

Receiving all the attacks that don’t even need to be evaded, I lift Tomoki’s body with the magic power armor.

His hate-filled eyes had not changed even now.

Hmph.

You treated Tomoe as an object.

You must be properly prepared for the result of your actions, right?

At Tomoki who had his face and body equally pressed onto the wall, I mindlessly punched him to a point that I had stopped counting the number of times in the middle of it.

I ignored anything he said. No matter what he did, I blocked it. Because I thought that this way would be more effective.

When I aimed for his face every time he opened his mouth, in time, he shut it.

I thought that I would be refreshed while punching him, but it didn’t happen.

Aside from the first punch, the ones that followed didn’t serve as a refresher.

I have to make it so he doesn’t think about putting his hands on Tomoe ever again. With that reason alone, I continued inflicting pain.

In time, I let off Tomoki who has lost his ability to speak coherent words.

“It’s great that I am weak, right? Because you are let off with only this much.” (Makoto)

That image of him curling his body and holding his head with both hands… made me imagine something.

“… So this time you are the one staying silent huh, Tomoki. Hey, aren’t you a hero? How about being a little bit more dignified even when being beaten? That look of yours, it is comical how you look like a bullied person.” (Makoto)

It looked like Tomoki reacted to the word bullied, but… there’s no point in digging deeper into it.

I grab Tomoki with my own hands.

I shrink down the magic power armor, and in exchange, I use [Sakai] to heal the wounds of Tomoki.

The healing proceeds quite quickly.

Because the concealing ability of the magic power armor was released, the light of magic power leaks out to my surroundings.

If Tomoki were to gauge me when I’m in this state, he might actually not have gone for a forceful method.

He doesn’t look like the type that picks a fight with the strong after all.

Whether it is senpai or Tomoki, their power is not that big of a deal.

No, frankly speaking, the war itself is not a threat for Kuzunoha Company or Asora. That’s why, whether it is Tomoe or Shiki, they probably won’t say much to me about this.

Because no matter what happens, the difference would be like using my left leg instead of my right to kick a small pebble.

It is ‘troublesome’, so it is a war I don’t want to get involved with though.

The external wounds finish erasing. The healing is done huh.

I drag Tomoki, who is taller than me, towards the sofa he was in, and throw him there.

I return [Sakai] to concealment, and return the kicked table to its original place.

I slap the cheeks of the spaced-out Tomoki to return him to his senses.

Tomoki looks at me with conscious eyes.

Just that, those eyes weren’t filled with strong will or haughtiness, and there was clear weakness and fear mixed in it.

“I properly healed you, so there should be no impediments in your war with the demon race.” (Makoto)

I look at his eyes and tell him with a smile that he has been healed.

“Well then, I will be leaving now. I have another business here in the Empire you see. I am kind of…busy. Of course, it is not as important as being a hero though.” (Makoto)

While speaking, I line up the three girls and maid that I forgot about, and have them sit on the sofa I was in.

I pass at his side and head to the door.

“Ah, also…” (Makoto)

I release the lock from the door and the hardening of the walls.

And then, I place my hand on the knob and tell him something important with my back still facing him.

“Don’t wish for Tomoe… no, for anything and anyone of Kuzunoha, ever again. Next time, whether it is intentional or an accident, I will not forgive it. I don’t care about you using your charm power in whichever way you want, but that’s only if it doesn’t involve us. Don’t forget that.” (Makoto)

Right.

If he tries something, I won’t be merciful.

To the princess, and the other countries; it is because I didn’t clearly say this that something as stupid as this has occurred.

As expected, maybe the main problem is that I look like I am easy to deal with. That’s making Kuzunoha Company like a tasty chance.

That’s why every place wants to try and put their hands on it.

I should properly tell the other party that I don’t plan on yielding.

The friction that this will create, I will just consider it as a necessary price.

Yeah.

If in the future there’s a weird haggle demanded from me, I wouldn’t be able to take it.

The presents of Susanoo-sama and the others has not been made clear either, and I also have the errand of Root. There’s also the audience with Limia and the Demon Lord.

Now that I think about it… teaching Tomoki here about this might have been a plus in a sense.

There was a slight good in coming to the Empire.

Leaving onto the hall, I tell the knight-looking people that the talk is over, and tell them that I want to return to where Tomoe and Shiki are.

I thought that they would bring someone to guide me, but it was the knight-san himself that took the guiding role.

It would be nice if Tomoe and Shiki didn’t go on a rampage as well.

…If it’s those two, there’s no need to worry huh.

Hah…

Looking at my opening and closing hands while facing the sky, I make a sigh that’s definitely not from regret.

It’s because I have flung crude violence.

    1. Felt so good! Hopefully we’ll see Makoto’s apathetic Battle Mode appear sometime in the future, or hopefully, Tomoki’s POV of this chapter and what happens after it! OUUUUU I NEED THAT!

    2. Is it just me or is this chapter shorter than usual? The cliff worked quite well, but it might as well have been paired with the last chapter to make a more sizable one, right?

    3. Thanks Reigokai-san for the chap!! By the way.. what did the last para mean?

      “Looking at my opening and closing hands while facing the sky, I make a sigh that’s definitely not from regret.
      It’s because I have flung crude violence.”

      Did that mean something happened due to Makoto’s action?

      1. It means he sighs because he had to use crude violence(something he didnt want to do) and problably because he remembers that dream he had recently

    4. Thanks for the chap Reigo-san!!

      I need some help explaining the last para tho:
      “Looking at my opening and closing hands while facing the sky, I make a sigh that’s definitely not from regret.
      It’s because I have flung crude violence.”
      I read this as Makoto clasped his hands with a sigh because his power went overkill and affected the outside of the area?
      Hehe

    1. Haaa… that was good. I might reread this chapter quite often just to see Trashmoki getting beat up >:3

      But seriously Reigokai crushed my hope of being first the first time xD

          1. If firo says so… I will.. Dive into the abyss I hope your guidance will show me the correct path

  2. I really want a chapter now on Tomoki’s perspective on this scene to see what his reaction is to getting his ass beat like this lol. Wonder if this makes him regret only being unkillable at night lol.

      1. Yeah. There some things that makes you think that you’re better of dead. Immortality is overrated. There’s a reason why in many stories immortal or very long lived races seems bored. Not to mention getting tortured and unable to die no matter what the torturer did.

  3. Man that was such a refreshing chapter to read. i was a little afraid that Makoto wasnt going to beat up Tomoko glad that i was wrong.

    1. He killed a Girl stabing her and after cut his neck just for hurt Tomoe and kil an Orc, and Trashmoki was aiming for her like a stalker and talking of her like she was a toy, it is imposible he didnt do nothing
      after that.

  4. ohhh this chapter is really refreshing!! lol
    the arrogant tomoki doesn’t know the true power of makoto and it’s nice to see makoto beat him especially in the face!! lol
    oh and how makoto erase the evidence of beating tomoki!! hahha
    thanks for the chapter XD

    1. i can smell that tomoki is going to have the mind set of “I MUST GET STRONGER SO I CAN GET EVEN WITH THAT GUY!!!!” but yes it’s was refreshing that tomoki got knock off his high horse by makoto and seeing how tomoki behave after a surten samurai loveing dragon gave him run for his money you know he try to do something.

    1. I also had the same impression here. But I felt what it was too light. He should have tortured then heal and repeat the same process a couple of times.

  5. There is a certain level of catharsis when reading this chapter, maybe its the inner sadist locked deep within me, but DANG does reading about Makoto tanning Trashmoki’s hide feel good. Maybe now the little buttrug knows better. Now to wait for the day he finally confronts Bug.

    1. you should love reading the part in tate no yuusha where “bitch/whore/witch” gets tortured ^^ (I for one loved every word of that chapter, to the point where it seemed to short lol)

  6. he should of killed him, leaving him alive only leaves trouble waiting to happen.
    even if he is weak he can still be a pain in the ass.

  7. somehow i can now see tomoe demanding a night with makoto after this haha i am sure she will be happy as hell

    though i am quite interested in the next chapter i get the feeling that the stupid princess its trying to gain tomoe via the stupid loli

  8. Makoto should do a public demonstration of his power, Like destroy some oversized mountain or you know fake fight with tomoe in her dragon state, or fake a fight with grunt in his dragon state and invite all the world leaders to witness it.

    No one wants to fight against someone who has nuclear weapon

      1. That…is a hilarious image. A giant serpentine dragon flying through the air with a giant spider clinging around it with all 8 legs, with a skeleton sitting on its head, with little Raidou on its shoulders, possibly with his hands in the air.

        What would the subtitle be? “Don’t F*ck with Kuzunoha bitches!”

        1. They believe him to be an easy target, because he looks like a little kid, possibly a transported one, which would make him extra naive. That should be dispelled in Grittonia when they notice Trashmoki’s reaction to his name after this, now we just have to wait for the rest of his world tour.

          1. not because of his appearance but because they do not know his power, sofia and lancer look weak, mio looks weak as well, tomoe does not look weak but she sure as hell does not look like she level 1500, they do not know his power but do know his level so they believe he is an easy target, after a public demostration of his power they will drop their jaws

  9. Even Spoiler-san saying that Trashmoki getting rekt would happen if he met Makoto, it wasn’t even a spoiler. We all knew this would happen. Now Spoiler-san has to go, his vessel want’s to get back to playing more Fallout 4.

  10. Actually… this is what basically happened:

    Trashmoki: I am the most OP person sent here from Japan.
    Makoto: Oh really?
    Trashmoki: Really.
    Makoto: Get rekt, scrub.

    *Trashmoki gets rekt*

  11. Keep hitting him.

    “And this one is for Tomoe.”
    “And this one is for wanting to trade people.”
    “And this one is for treating people like objects”
    “And this one is for having a harem.”

    1. And this one is for enslaving hypnotised girl 1
      And this one is for enslaving hypnotised girl 2
      And this one is for enslaving hypnotised girl 3
      And this one is for enslaving hypnotised girl 4
      And this one is for enslaving hypnotised girl 5
      Did I forget hypnotised girl 3? Well Just In case *punches again

  12. Ahhh, Makoto bemore more and more less human/hyuman. Normal people will felt excited or angry when they maul someone in the face but he just felt nothingness. I wonder how long it will took for him to ascend into godhood at this rate.

    And thanks for the chapter

  13. Tomoki POV! TOMOKI POV PLEASE!

    Author shoulda done a POV change for the beatdown, that’s where the juicy bits come in.

    inb4 the princess trashing next chapter. Our Waka-sama is growing up. I’m proud of him.

    1. I dunno. I think it’s a good thing to see this from Makoto’s perspective. Because he’s sort of feeling nothing and treating it as a simple beating.

      What we really need is a follow-up POV chapter of Tomoki, Lily, and/or Tomoe to give a bit more perspective on how vicious that beating was. If we only had Tomoki’s, it would be an exaggeration where Makoto looked like a…wait for it….devil.

  14. Yaaayyy more awesome Makoto! He seems to be transcending into a god at this rate. So awesome! Thank you very much for the chapter! This chapter was super exciting x) I kinda wish for Tomoki to be like his ‘Kouhai’ or something after he ‘disciplines’ him lol. But I guess that won’t happen, :/ too bad.

  15. Tomoki POV

    hey you stop! bufuu!!,

    I’m a hero, yo….uaGHH!

    no…on..face…ufuu!!

    sor….GUrgh!! RY! OGHH!!

    some….one…h….elp….

    1. That means war with the empire. even if Trashmoki blabbering to Lily, she won’t believe him since there’s no wound at all and no witness to proof it either. If Makoto didn’t heal trashmoki, Trashmoki can make a justified reasons for empire to attack Makoto, Kuzunoha or Makoto desciples. Makoto basically have too much weakness and it’s not like makoto sent bodyguard to protect his students

      1. Hmmm… Don’t know. Lily already knows that something is strange with Kuzunoha and if Raidou manage to destroy their hero / their most powerful pawn, what would they be able to do ? War ? With an unknown enemy ? When they already have to fight the demons ?

        Of course, she would try to do something but I don’t think she is stupid enough to believe that war against Kuzunoha is a good thing. In this world, individual power is everything… so it would be pretty stupid to wage war against Makoto.

      2. @darkhelios
        Of course Lily won’t take risk to attack Kuzunoha or Makoto directly but like i said, Makoto have a lot of weakness now. His students, Rembranth and other people he cares. There’s a lot of way to eliminate them without using their own hands…

      3. @darkhelios

        She would realize the truth of Root’s warning to her saying fighting him is similar to figthing the demons on 2 fronts.

    2. Just say , maybe makoto kindness that he still care about tomoki. And makoto, it seems spring hasnt come to him. So he not yet need lust to female.

  16. thanks for this sweet sweet chapter 😀 But i think it would have hit Trashmoki even harder if Makoto had used Sakai to release the charmeffect on all people in the castle on top of beating the shit out of him 😀

  17. Ahhhhhhhh, how refreshing to see how Trashmoki got r3kt and his “valkyries” get trashed. 10/10 Would reread the part when Makoto goes ‘screw this bs, imma punch you a couple’a times m8’ and proceeds to do that, slowly to.
    I mean, he didn’t move that fast. Its a small room and I’m pretty sure he can slug dat guy no prob in 1/5 or less due to his phys abilities (chappy 1, ran across desert at jet speed to save orc Emma…).
    Sooo… if Tomoe gets this memory from reading Makoto’s mind, GG empire. Mio & Tomoe will rampage across the capital while Shiki be massacring the masses. ‘Tis all good (for the company, not the empire).

  18. Thank you! I was hoping raidou would crush his brain… make trashmoki to be dumb..
    Ehh… but he cant kill the other hero because of the bug goddess.
    What happen if the bug goddess called tomoe to her place & do something to her ? Like the bug did wirh raidou.
    Thank you!

  19. Comman Makoto !!! Be more xian xian!!! You know that 95% of this World’s problem can be solved thru Violence….ya know…

  20. Satisfying…but not clever. If I recall correctly, Tomoki was previously bullied in Japan.

    Objectively Makoto’s actions are very light given that Tomoki resorted to violence and threats. Heck from Tomoki’s perspective Makoto was a weak merchant and he was literally threatening to kill him to enslave someone that Makoto cares about. However, Makoto failed to explain why he was doing what he was doing. He though it and we the reader knows but Tomoki does not know.

    This beatdown is unlikely to effect change in Tomoki’s attitude. It’ll likely make it worse as now Tomoki will act/prepare with a degree of fear. A more cunning plan would have been to disable the charm and simply walk away entirely. Though I think by know we all know that one of Makoto’s weaknesses is that he isn’t very cunning. Smart but, a bit straightforward.

    1. Nah, on the other side, for me what makoto did is justified. Maybe just for remind him his weakness. After he came to this world he drown in power, he using his power so that not anyone dare to opposing him or harming him.

      So i very pitying tomoki, just spare him for his weakness

    2. You have a good point. Though I would also say that Makoto got more “lessons” out of this than Tomoki, which could be considered a good thing.

      As you said, Tomoki is just going to get worse. Makoto, on the other hand, seems to be ready to start making threats of overbearing retaliation if anyone tries to harm his faction.

    3. don’t think so, he knows he can’t beat tomoe, that’s why he tried going for here “weak” master, now he knows he can’t beat the “weak” master and that the tool or whatever he is using to measure his power is useless. and I can’t see trashmoki going to attack him at night because it means getting tortured thanks to his “immortality” that he have kind of see that isn’t 100% effective in his fight with sofia… who… did trash him, and was trashed by…

  21. That was indeed refreshing! Despite typically “let it be” Makoto having to get violent, it was nice to see Makoto letting someone know not to mess around with him. Tomoki is nothing but a brat.
    Thanks for the chapter!

  22. Trashmoki has some similarities with and Rachel (from Tower of God) :
    – Weak.
    – Traitor.
    – Everyone want them dead.

      1. Bitch’s counterpart feels more like the goddess though. She’s callous, shallow, manipulative, selfish, entitled…

        Though to be honest, I even respect Bitch a little more than Bug simply because she seems to have some iota of intelligence to her.

        ….Urg….I think I threw up in my mouth a little for saying that.

  23. Meh, I’m not really a fan of the whole “do whatever, but if you touch people I know I’ll destroy you”.
    Dick protags get away with it because they’re selfish dicks. Hero protags just come off as incredibly hypocritical. I’m sure Makoto would jump in and save someone if they were being attacked right in front of him, but Tomoki has brainwashing powers so it’s all okay?

  24. Thanks Reigokai-sama, for this chapter release!

    *snicker*

    Hahaha!

    Hahahaha!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    How did you like the beat down Trashmoki? Did you finally know your place?

    What is a hero to a god.

    Nothing more than a pawn. And a fine messed-up pawn you have become, courtesy of the princess. (Have to punish her later.)

    And did you honestly think a group of girls way below in level and value can even COMPARE to Tomoe? Your messed up sense of value really sparks my interest. Only on the intellectual side though. And you might want to get your power scouter fixed, because I think it’s busted.

    It’s a good hard lesson to know Trashmoki, that not everything can go your way, even if you are a hero(lol).

    Anyways, on to Makoto.

    Woah, didn’t even notice on the first read that Makoto hardened the walls. I was wondering how it was able to stand up to the repeated abuse of getting hit by Trashmoki’s body.

    So, let’s see, is Makoto holding Trashmoki with his Stand and punching him with his bare hands, or vice versa?

    Because even though it might be painful for Trashmoki…

    Makoto, clean your hands right this instant!

    It’s not hygienic to hold up or even punch trash!

    What if you get an infection! Who knows were that thing has been! Even breathing the air he expels is bad!

    (Ahem!)

    Wow, Makoto’s being nice as well, healing up the hero. Better to leave no evidence of the abu- I mean, discipline.

    If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut. A good lesson.

    Anyways, I have high hopes that the meeting with the Demon Lord will be better.

    Compared to this one, I mean.

    ( I laughed for 5 minutes straight before I typed everything here. It was just too damn funny.) XD

    1. I think you just described a Muk instead of Tomoki there. Or maybe a Trubbish? Either way, apologize to all the waste Pokemon of the world for that comparison this instant!

    2. I was surprised when Makoto said why he doesn’t care about the war or the countries. He actually admitted that he sees them as nothing more than insects and beneath his notice. Damn.

  25. Thanks for the chapter.

    That was exactly the payoff I’d been hoping for ever since Tomoki was first introduced. That kid has always needed someone to put him in his place and by the gods did Makoto deliver.
    The only way this could have been better is if somehow it came out that Makoto curbstomped Sofia even harder than she wrecked Tomoki’s party. Then so he could see there is unequivocally no chance at victory, no matter what dirty little tricks he tries.

  26. Sigh~* at last my wish has been granted… Thank you makoto for beating up that a*$hole, though it would be better if you cut a finger or two… B) you can just grow it back again… BTW…
    Thank for the great chap. Reigokai-san

  27. Thanks for the chapter. Feels good to see tomoki trash know his place, but i want more. I’m not a saddist but I just think it was enough for him to just that. He is a trash and I also want to see his Pov the way he despair. =)

  28. Love it!!!!!
    looks like Makoto is finally getting acustomed in the way of that world
    I want to see the reaction of the princess after seeing Trashmoki
    i wan to see the OVEN!!!!
    thanks for the chapter

  29. chp. 178. mob explosion meter 99%
    chp. 179. mob explosion meter 100% (rage)
    chp. 180. mob explosion meter 0% (thanks now i can wait patiently)

  30. Hmm. I think that’s a good point Makoto made here. Tomoki has more or less completely forgotten about Japan-or rather, he was so miserable back there that he never really knew it in the first place.

    On to the more obviously point…OH MY YES! THE CATHARSIS! IT’S GLORIOUS. Contrary to other people’s thoughts in the past chapter, to me Makoto is certainly standing up and pushing back here-and seems to be very clearly promising that he’ll do so in the future. Punishing the brat with ruthless composure like the overpowered being we all know he is.
    Even though he didn’t “Oven” Tomoki like people seemed to be fantasizing about, this was a “mid-boss” encounter in my mind from start. And for a mid-boss, it hit all the right places with a warning to the enemy, a new resolution in the protagonist, and a really cool scene while still saving some for the climatic reunion. It’s kind of like Makoto Meets Sophia part 1 and part 2.

  31. Kinda wished that Lily came in as the beating was happening and Makoto sits her down to tell her how disrespectful juniors are disciplined on Earth.

  32. OH!! YEAH!!! I FEEL SO HAPPY!! OMG!! if this is the last chapter before christmas really Thank you!!
    And I take advantage to say… Reigokai! everyone! Merry christmas and happy new year!!! ^^

  33. if this is another timeline when makoto become cruel, it will become like this..

    makoto: hey kouhai, do you know how microwave work?

    damn i’ll never see microwave the same way again, just like toothbrush

    1. Did nobody else know that’s how microwaves work? I’ve made eggs pop in my microwave plenty of times in childhood, so it was a pretty obvious attack.

      …Or maybe I’m just a bit unhinged.

  34. we all know that beating was long due. the guy needed to get his ass kicked. plus makoto was pretty much annoyed already with all that jazz going on, so gritonia’s hero is kinda dumb to play it like that.

  35. Yo… This best chapter… I likes the one who show true power to the haughty one.

    I pity for tomoki because his personal weakness , so no wonder himself drown with mighty power.

    If tomoki meet with tomoe the worst, he instantaneously died or wetting his pants, no just died …

    Anway reigokai sma thx 4 yr hardwork . It reassuring you effort to pleasing us the readers…

    May hod always bless yr lifes

  36. >The resistance of the sitted Tomoki was weak,

    The resistance of the sitting Tomoki was weak,
    The resistance of the seated Tomoki was weak,

  37. Thankee for the absolutely epic beatdown xD
    Shame makoto wasnt feeing anthing but us readers were hungry for trashmoki’s recktness

    I now want sempai’s jaw to drop and find out makoto is not one to be looked down on or messed with.

    Bullied or not I have no sympathy whatsoever for trashmoki… bullied turned to bully peh :/

    Bug has a lot to answer for -.-

    And once again thankeeeeeee!!!

    1. I’m pretty sure that most bullies that don’t fall under the “Don’t know they’re being bullies” category behave that way because they suffered from abuse themselves somehow.

  38. Thanks for the chapter!

    I am proud of how Makoto-sama handled that trash, though I think it would be fine if Makoto-sama did not stop hitting the trash after healing him.
    (Maybe repeat that cycle a few times. Also Tomoe-dono and I would have liked to have some fun too. I have some experiments I feel he would be useful in………..)

  39. “How about being a little bit more dignified even when being beaten? That look of yours, it is comical how you look like a bullied person.”
    better line:
    “How about being a little bit more dignified while being beaten? That look of yours is quite comical, how you look like a bullied person.”

  40. So makoto is sad because he had to resort to “crude violence”. Not like he had a choice mind you since the hero was threatening to torture him until he gave up Tomoe. When will people get the fact that he has strong followers because he’s much stronger than his followers. Only read one novel so far where the MC was weaker than his friends/followers but then he caught up in about 100 chapters.

  41. Alright, I’ll be the bad guy and say: this ain’t near enough. Trashmoki needs to be severely humiliated in front of the princess and his harem to quell the anger of the people.

    1. What bad guy? I think most people were out for Tomoki’s blood. In terms of quelling anger, it would need to be Tate no Yuusha levels of controversial punishment, seeing as plenty of people were calling for the fairly brutal “Oven”.

      That said, this isn’t the climax chapter. This is just putting the pieces in place for something greater, I’m sure. In the very least, half of the satisfaction of this encounter with Tomoki lies in the ripples this events causes and reactions of the empire’s side-Tomoki and Lily in particular.

      More importantly, this is an excellent setup for their eventual reunion. Makoto left his first encounter with Sophia being somewhat traumatized while leaving her feeling fascinated with him. Before Tomoki was enamored with Tomoe, but this event is definitely going to distort his priorities even more and his next encounter with Makoto will likely be something amazing.

      1. eh, I wouldn’t call the oven brutal… There’s far worse ways to die (or be driven to the point of wishing for death but incapable of obtining death) than turning into bloody splatters after a minute of heating or so.

        In fact, I’d say any method of bringing someone to the brink of death and keeping them there without letting them die would be more brutal.

        Heck, even overlord’s death by bear hug or death by cockroaches are arguably more brutal methods of dying.

      2. wow properly predicted as Psyhronia said there will be something more “Satisfactory” in the near future combining to the point where it’s really freaking gruesome in the raw but it’s freaking awesome i mean seeing “THAT” is F**KING Awesome

      3. @Fabián
        it has been deleted from baka tsuki, but you can take the page and put it into wayback machine to get the chapter links, they are all saved there, other than that, someone is translating the webnovel version i think, the light novel version was taken off cuz i think yenpress? not sure

      4. no he is traumatized, he used his whole arsenal and still wasnt even a mosquito bite, he remembered all bullying and his fear will never dissapear Tomoki is gone for good in respect to “enemies” he will probably start tremblimg the moment he sees makoto again, and if perhaps he has the wrong idea and try to fight with is night inmortality the only thing that will happen is a night of torture until sunset rise and he dies, the end.

      5. @kingofmangonia @Falinmer @lordofeaglesbringeroftacos @pantser
        Thanks for your response, now(summer vacations) I am going to read it. @lordofeaglesbringeroftacos I was stuck in chapter 206, because chapter 207 was missing.
        @zettaizeroblog I figured it out…

    2. Spoiler:

      Sadly, this is as far as the current event goes with Tomoki for a long time.
      That said, the second dream is coming, and in there you’ll get to see more of No Fuck Given Makoto, i.e. previously Mr. Microwave.

      Also, Lily doesn’t care about Tomoki, as much as she seem to be subservient of him, remember that she’s IMMUNE to his charm.

      Well, just wait until the second dream (which should be right after Makoto is finished with Gritonia in a few more chapters), something about that one pique my interest.

      1. Ah that dream….it’s romantic and sad at the same time. The author really likes to play with makoto’s fate, yea?

        Now for the kill/threat list:
        former 1 sophia
        1. Tomoki – kill immediately or else will grow stronger.
        2. Lily – either makoto could choose 1 or this one (reason in later chapters)
        3. Hibiki – she’s a hypocrite. Off with her head.
        4. Bugess – she’s ranked lower as she can’t touch makoto for the time being + lazy + makoto >>>>>>>>>>>>>bugess.

    3. If tomoe doesn’t give tomoe a kiss after hearing him beat the shit out of trashMoki then I’ll be dissapointed..and if she does then i can’t wait to see Moe’s reaction…buhaha this is grtting interesting now

  42. well finally some kind of development, he is now thinking of making his standing firmer, and that’s good, he has the ways to enforce his and his ppl safety. so he should stop being so silly and talkative, in that world stills apply the law of the strong.

  43. geeetttt dunkeeddd son!!!! this is what happened when an ant try to underestimate a mountain. thank you reigokai. its a great chapter

      1. In a certain sense, is no wonder why he can’t see shit from Makoto, after all he has the blessings of a God way more important than the Bug and Sakai can’t be felt by anyone even if it’s activated.

  44. fuhuhuhuhu~ finally showing who’s the boss ei?
    well i was irritated reading the last chapter… so this was a little bit of a refresher…
    thanks for the chapter rei-san~ like what nerokid-kun said…
    you’re on fire!!

  45. Thanks 4 the chapter!

    I’m curious what Trashmoki used to see Makoto’s power. It’s surely defective. Unless it lets him see levels or the magical power exudes by individuals.

    1. Since he refer to levels, I would assume he use the same system as the adventure guild measuring method, and read power as level. If that’s true then Makoto will obviously come out as lv 1 or some low level.

      1. i think satou have a moderate level now, obvious still distant from 400, because of the killings he did on the mutants problem but i don’t know if he got any level from sofia.

      2. I think you are confusing TGM with Death March, thou last I read Satou was lv 312
        And afaik, Makoto’s level doesn’t rise since he doesn’t get exp from Root’s system (or something like that, his level just doesn’t rise)

  46. Forget about the princess, even 2 heroes couldn’t meet the real qualify condition and they are more like grabbing people attention than fighting force.

    Level this and that, but does it really work that way without training and battle experience. Hell you even see value hopeless in that failure world BUGDESS had create as it consider worst than Earth modern war zones.

    P.S. Bang him in TERROR then return everything back original with EVIL SMILE

  47. ahhhh ~ this is so satisfying ~
    finally someone properly “educated” that “Thing”…..
    welll…. we will see if he still hold his Pride…. or crying to Mysterious entity or the Bug to ask more Power?
    i love that he finally more closer to the one in his Dream…. the Ruthless “Devil”

  48. Thank you very much for the chapter!

    It’s been a while since the feeling of excitement of reading a chapter. This was greatly satisfying yet I yearn for more.

    Thanks again for translating Reigokai!

  49. I seriously thought he was going to take his eyes or his ability, though I don’t know with what method. Glad, I am, that he kicked his ass.
    Thanks for the translation 👍 ✌.

  50. wow this chapter broke my expectation in a good way! Makoto be like “don’t you dare put a hand on my family” was somehow refreshing! See, you can do it, Makoto! Now he finally realize that to some degree, showing of his power is needed.

    Cheers for the chapter!

  51. Good thing our MC gave him a slap on his buttocks hahaha

    Thanks for the chapter Reigokai – san and welcome back even though it’s late hahaha :3

    1. Lol..hulk only smashed loki 3-4 times but makoto punched trashMoko until he couldn’t speak properly..i guess beating style was same but trashMoko got the worst of it

  52. thanks for the chapter!!!!
    Now that was soo satisfying!!

    (Even if he is really the one that created that crater, that level of threat is no danger at all.)
    damn trashmoki just created a nuclear bomb and it doesnt count as a danger to him. well considering sophia survived it.

    (“I can somewhat tell the power of others. The method is business secret though. You don’t have the power to defeat a single one of those girls. And, the reason why you are able to have Tomoe obey you despite that…” (Tomoki)
    “Must be because you have a strong taming power. You must be able to control strong mamonos and dragons with that power of yours.” (Tomoki))
    hahaha that is one funny joke!! he dont have enough power? he has enoguh power to bring down the bug hahah also have a strong taming power to get tomoe? what a joke. its simple really strong people tend to gather at stronger ones.

    (While saying things I don’t really mean, I strengthen the sound-proof barrier that was already present.
    Harden the walls, and place a lock on the door as well.)
    sh*t its coming!!!!

    (Kicking the table, I create a path.)
    here he f*cking comes!!!
    (At Tomoki who had his face and body equally pressed onto the wall, I mindlessly punched him to a point that I had stopped counting the number of times in the middle of it.)
    F8CK YEAH!!!
    (In time, I let off Tomoki who has lost his ability to speak coherent words.)
    that is one satisfying line.

    (I shrink down the magic power armor, and in exchange, I use [Sakai] to heal the wounds of Tomok)
    do it again!do it again!do it again!do it again!do it again!!

    (“Don’t wish for Tomoe… no, for anything and anyone of Kuzunoha, ever again. Next time, whether it is intentional or an accident, I will not forgive it. I don’t care about you using your charm power in whichever way you want, but that’s only if it doesn’t involve us. Don’t forget that.” (Makoto))
    pretty sure tomoes gonna be so happy about this.

    (As expected, maybe the main problem is that I look like I am easy to deal with. That’s making Kuzunoha Company like a tasty chance.)
    are they gonna show to everyone how powerful they are? so that they wont miss with them anymore.

    (It would be nice if Tomoe and Shiki didn’t go on a rampage as well.)
    haha!

    now this was a satisfying chapter! cant wait for the meeting of makoto with the demon lord! hahah also with the sazanami dragon.

  53. Yep….punching means in a way makoto is still showing him some face…..

    Best way to deal with him would be flinging him around like hulk XD

    This was very satisfying………thanks O great translator-sama

  54. And seriously, I wished author renamed his magic power armor to something cool. It’s too long to say magic power armor everytime he use it.

    1. he promised with a certain God to be heroes guardian
      since he owed that guy alot, Raidou would likely not harming any hero so bad that they unables to be heroes

      1. Nice that somebody still remember it :oD !

        Promise before vengeance, that’s what stand up guys does (especially if he has a stand, even if he call it magic armor to avoid copyright claims ;o))

  55. Hah ~~~~ now I feel refreshed. I’ve been looking forward to this chapter for the last 2 days, thank you sooooo much for all the translation, much appreciate for all your hard and fast works.

  56. Thank goodness. For a moment, I thought the passive Makoto was going to be back. I’m glad he wasn’t.

    Don’t get me wrong, it really was a violent approach. But an active protagonist is much better than one who does nothing. Someone who moves the story forward with their own actions is a much more interesting character. That’s why they are called protagonist.

    There is nothing wrong with a peaceful character, provided that character actually does something about the situation to maintain that peace. Whether through clever peaceful approach or otherwise.

    Procrastinating on a troublesome problem until it explodes doesn’t count as a peaceful solution, and neither is it interesting. In other words, Makoto used to be such a boring character. I’m glad that’s changing.

  57. How can a single individual take an L of such magnitude? Get fu**ing reeekktt! That’s what you get for tarnishing lolis you trash! lol
    Thanks for such a satisfying chapter Reigokai, oh God, the withdrawal’s already setting in 🙁

  58. WAIT WAIT WAIT, how come Makoto looks Japanese? This bothered me from the last chapter, his parents are hyumans so shouldn’t he not look Japanese even if he looks worse than the hyumans in this world?

    1. I think Tsukuyomi already mention that in the early chapter, it’s because by the the time his parent pregnant of him, the earth influence already strong, thus only his older sister retain hyuman-like face, his little sister just beautiful like Hibiki, I think.

  59. Makoto so cool. Trashmoki is really the trashy-ness existence. To use his harem for doing something like that. I really wanted POV about him being beaten. I actually hoped that Makoto removed the charm from his harem. And his harem beating the trash. But well I am already satisfied. 😇

  60. Firstly, HE JUST PUNTED THAT LITTLE SHIT ACROSS THE ROOM!😂

    Secondly, “Whether it is senpai or Tomoki, their power is not that big of a deal.

    No, frankly speaking, the war itself is not a threat for Kuzunoha Company or Asora. That’s why, whether it is Tomoe or Shiki, they probably won’t say much to me about this.

    Because no matter what happens, the difference would be like using my left leg instead of my right to kick a small pebble.

    It is ‘troublesome’, so it is a war I don’t want to get involved with though.”

    WOW. He literally just said “You people’s problems are annoying and insignificant, leave us out of it!”

    1. The reason why god doesnt take any part during a war although he is almighty, its just too troublesome for him to handle.

  61. He should have straight up start calling him trash like what he say depending on how strong they are they get what kind of respect, and since he is so weak he can call him trash.

    1. Well Tomoki this time sounded like your generic/arrogant Xianxia antagonist soooo….

      Tomoki: I have strong background( Grutonia’s hero) and you’re just a trash(merchant), give me your treasure/girl(tomoe) and i’ll let you off… don’t blame me for being impolite(gets defeated)

  62. There’s none Trashmoki can do to Makoto at this point unless he claim that Makoto is involved with demon race…. Well, Makoto will crush him again if that happens through.

  63. Bitch please~ This is just slight treament for the trash. When he start blubbering and generally behave like a shameful bitch you all would just empathize with the weak boy, which he is.

    I would say something about endure the fire in the forge and shits, but this is a hero that Bug choose personally. No way she would choose someone decent. Even that heroine has the making of a career-type intelligent officer, or a calculative cult leader.

  64. Trashmoki: “This is the center of the Empire. Do you understand just how disadvantageous it would be for you to get in trouble with me?”

    Makoto:: Ain’t that great i can just simply put the whole empire in a Microwave Oven and get done with it >:D

  65. The epic ass-kicking of Tomoki made me happy. But I wonder if that shitty hero is going to continue to be stupid, or to wise up a little?

    Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!!

  66. Gooood, A Tomoki got owned!

    I really would love to see Tomoki running to her princess which is actually controlling him and he thinks he is high and mighty. xD

  67. Thanks for the chapter!!
    I like this one very much. We had Tomoki know his place. I hope he tells all this to Lilly. She is one pain in the ass but she doesn’t like the Goddess much either.
