WM – Chapter 105: Mayhem in the capital of Symphonia (5)

Sponsored Chapter!


“What’s with these guys?! They are pretty strong!” (Geralt)

Geralt-san was cutting down one 1,000 year old monsters one after the other while saying this.

Ooh! I am glad he is okay.

With his magic sword (?) that’s making cracking sounds, a monster is cut and gets burnt black every time it is swung.

It looks like it isn’t that big of a difference for the Lightning Hero that they are 1,000 year old monsters.

“Looks like he is going to be okay.” (Makoto)

“Umu! As expected of the Lightning Hero-dono!” 

Seems like the Sun Knight Captain-san is also relieved.

But it is not like everything has been solved.

“Let’s support Geralt-sama!” 

“Ani-sama!” 

The Sky Order Lieutenant and his little sister’s unit move to help the Lightning Hero.

It is true that putting all on Geralt-san is way too much weight.

“Mage units, continue the support fire!”

The 2nd Division Captain continued giving out orders.

“But mages that have run out of mana are beginning to show up…” 

“This is bad. The knight units and priest units are somehow managing, but…” 

The knights are having an intense physical battle.

And the priests who are supporting them at the backlines are showing fatigue.

There’s exhaustion showing in the whole area.

Compared to that, the monsters are attacking with reckless abandon.

So this is the attack of controlled monsters, huh.

What a nasty attack, Snake Church!

(…What to do?) (Makoto)

I glanced at the place, and my eyes made contact with Prince Leonard who was looking at me uneasy.

“M-Makoto-san…at this rate…” (Leonard)

We will be pushed in before the reinforcements arrive.

If the gate is broken, there will be more than hundreds of civilian casualties.

I can feel gazes.

The Sun Knights and the Water Country soldiers were looking over here.

(‘If they are Heroes, they might be able to do something’…or like, is Sakurai-kun always getting this treatment?) (Makoto)

I am not good at dealing with this kind of attention.

I am surprised he can keep doing the Savior reincarnation role.

Let’s have a drink next time, Sakurai-kun.

Before that, we have to deal with the problem in front of us.

What can I do right now?

I set [Clear Mind] at 99% and ask myself.

I have no mana.

In order to use Spirit Magic again, I will have to wait a bit more.

Prince Leonard only has a little bit of mana left. 

I can’t borrow anymore.

If Princess Sofia were here…no, a princess wouldn’t come to a battlefield like this.

Don’t rely on things that are not here.

Is there anything…

A card I can use…

“XXXXXXXXXXX (Spirit-sans, please lend me your strength…)” (Makoto)

I unconsciously extend my hand and speak in Spirit Language. 

The small Blue Spirits that are floating in front of me.

That hand of mine touches nothing.

I can’t touch the Spirits.

I thought that maybe I could sync with Spirits, but…if I can’t touch them, it is impossible, huh.

“M-Makoto-san?” (Leonard)

The confused voice of Prince Leonard reached my ears, but I continued.

“XXXXXXXXXXXXX (If there’s something I can do…I will do it. Anything…)” (Makoto)

I continue speaking with an extended hand.

There’s no response.

(It isn’t working, huh…) (Makoto)

—Fufu!

I heard a laugh in my ear.

It is not the childish voice of Spirits that I usually hear?

When I turn around, there’s a beautiful girl whose whole body is blue.

I could tell at a single glance that she isn’t a human.

“…Spirit?” (Makoto)

There’s human-like Spirits like this…?

That figure of hers is somewhat similar to that of Noah-sama.

“XXXXXXXXX (Do I just need to help you out?)” 

“Eh?” (Makoto)

The girl shaped Spirit held my hand.

A cold and pleasant sensation wraps around my hand.

I-I can touch her?

In that case…

I can synchronize with her?

◇Lightning Hero: Geralt◇

How many monsters have I cut down now?

I stopped counting when I reached 10, and just concentrated on defeating monsters single-mindedly.

“Geralt-sama!” 

“Ani-sama!” 

I could see the guys of the Northern Sky Knight Order coming to assist.

“You guys, don’t come too deep! Keep it at providing support!” (Geralt)

I can tell real well since I am fighting here.

These are not normal monsters.

A normal high level knight won’t be able to stand against them.

I confirm the situation while fighting. I could tell that the Sky Order is fighting in the middle, and the Sun Knight Divisions are fighting at both sides. 

The pegasus knights and the mages are attacking the flying monsters, but…

(…This is bad.) (Geralt)

We are slowly being pushed back.

(What is that bastard doing?!) (Geralt)

I saw the figure of the Water Country’s Hero at the corner of my eye.

You, use the spell that you used to defeat me already! 

But he shows no signs of using his magic.

“Damn it, you coward.” (Geralt)

Is he getting scared at the mob of monsters?! 

I concentrate on the monsters in front of me.

After a while…

I was attacked by a despairing pressure that felt like it could freeze my back.

At the time when I was a child and fought my first dragon.

At the time when I challenged the Great Sage Old Hag and got beaten black and blue.

At the time when the Light Hero that suddenly appeared from a different world stole my childhood friend fiance from me.

I felt something that was comparable to that and turned around.

“W-What’s that?” “Magic…?” “I have never seen this before…” “R-Run! You are going to get caught in it!” 

The knights were making a ruckus.

There was an enormous water giant that felt like it could pierce the heavens.

Water Giant

“What…?” (Geralt)

That gigantic something that appeared all of a sudden scared the Sun Country soldiers and even the monsters.

That giant looks down at us…and slowly sweeps its long arm to the ground.

“Uwaaa!” “S-Save meee!!” “I-I’m going to die—eh?” “What?” “Nothing’s happening?” 

It looked like it was attacking indiscriminately, but it is skillfully only hitting the monsters.

The monsters on the ground, the monsters flying, they were all swallowed into the body of the giant.

They were captured inside the body of the water giant. The monsters were struggling to get out, but it looks like they can’t.

(Could this possibly be a variation of Water Magic: Ice Prison?) (Geralt)

The shape is already completely different though.

““““““““““…….””””””””””””””

Everyone looked at it with mouths wide open.

The giant who had caught all of the monsters inside its body…slowly went to where the sea is.

I looked around the people that were dumbfounded, and found a brat that I am familiar with.

I run to where he is.

“Oi! Is that spell the doing of the Rozes Hero?!” (Geralt)

“Yes! It is the spell of Makoto-san!” (Leonard)

The brat speaks with sparkly eyes.

What are you saying all happy?

“Is that fine with you? The representative Hero of the Water Country is going to be him now, you know?” (Geralt)

I told him that.

“Makoto-san really is amazing!” (Leonard)

The Glacial Hero was blushing and had a face like that of a maiden. I didn’t feel like saying anything anymore.

“Tch, if you had a spell like that, use that from the very beginning…” (Geralt)

I look like an idiot for hurriedly coming here.

“What. Even though I came all the way here to provide reinforcements, it is already over.” 

“Uah!” (Geralt)

“Great Sage-sama!” (Leonard)

That scared me.

“Don’t appear all of a sudden, Old Hag.” (Geralt)

“Huh?” 

I got punched.

That hurts, damn it.

“What a horrible mouth this student of mine has. Anyways, that’s quite the peculiar spell.” 

The Old Hag looks at the water giant that’s leaving as if impressed.

“Hey, what’s the spell? Even though I only feel trash-like mana from the Rozes Hero as always, why can he use crazy magic like that?” (Geralt)

I don’t know.” 

Huh?

Don’t lie.

The Great Sage knows everything, right?

“It is similar to the Spirit Magic that Johnny used, but…I can’t use Spirit Magic after all…” 

“The one you are comparing him to is the Legendary Mage, Johnny Walker…?” (Geralt)

The comrade of the Great Sage Old Hag 1,000 years ago.

One of the members of the Legendary Party of four.

Even if you tell me it is similar to him…

Every single one of the Heroes of that other world are just…

“Oi, Geralt. The Spirit User-kun is probably out of control right now, so go save him.” 

“Huh?” (Geralt)

What is she saying?

It kidnapped only the monsters just a moment ago, you know?

There’s no way it is out of control.

“The Water Giant is staggering. He might be using the spell unconsciously. At this rate, the Spirit User-kun will be in danger. He had to be reckless here in order to save you guys of the Sun Country, you know.” 

“…”

I know.

It would have been dangerous at that rate.

I wouldn’t have been able to defeat all the monsters alone.

“Go already.” 

The Old Hag kicks my back.

“That hurts, you damn hag!” (Geralt)

I use the Float spell to chase after the giant.

Damn it!

What a pain!

◇Takatsuki Makoto POV◇

(…Hnngh…) 

The Water Giant spell.

There’s a whole lot of monsters imprisoned in the water.

I didn’t know what I should do after, so I headed to where the ocean is for now.

(Aah…I’m not feeling good.) (Makoto)

It is a strange sensation like after I drink too much alcohol.

This is my first time doing this, but I know the reason why.

It is the Mana Dizziness that Lucy often feels.

When I look by my side…

XXXXXXXXXX (Fufufufu, this is fun).

A beautiful Spirit girl.

No, I heard her name a while ago.

Her name is the Great Water Spirit, Undine.

For some reason, it seems like she has taken a liking to me and is lending me her help.

I am currently synchronizing with Undine.

Mana is flowing into me abundantly.

Spirits have…unlimited mana, was it?

I wonder what it is…

Different from the time with Princess Sofia and Prince Leonard, I can’t tell when to stop the sync.

Hmm, what should I do after heading to the ocean?

—XXXXXXXXXX (Hey hey, how about you play with me forever?).

A beautiful girl that’s pretty similar to Noah-sama invites me with a big smile.

That proposal is appealing, but…

Hm? Something is rushing towards us?

Who is that? That golden haired guy with evil-looking eyes.

Ah, he jumped into the Water Giant.

“Oi! You bastard, return to your senses!” (Geralt)

I was punched suddenly.

“Eh?” (Makoto)

After that, he grabbed my collar and shook me, and…I returned to my senses.

At that instant, the Water Giant crumbled and the monsters were thrown into the ocean.

There were some monsters who would sink just like that, and some who would escape to the open sea.

However, there were none who were trying to go back to the Sun Country.

By the time I noticed, the Great Water Spirit Undine was gone.

(Is it okay to leave the monsters be…?) (Makoto)

But they were all escaping into the open sea.

Going out of my way to chase them and finish them off is a bit…

While I was thinking that with my dizzy mind, I suddenly noticed.

(Hm? Wait a moment. I am currently floating in the air?) (Makoto)

“Oi.” 

I hear an irritated voice from above.

When I look up, I see Geralt-san who was carrying me in mid-air.

“You up now?” (Geralt)

“Y-Yes.” (Makoto)

Oh, looks like I was saved by the Lightning Hero.

“I came here on the order of the Great Sage Old Hag. She said your magic went out of control.” (Geralt)

“Geh.” (Makoto)

The second time, huh.

No good.

Do I have to donate more blood?

“Oi, we are going back. You can use Float, right?” (Geralt)

“I can’t.” (Makoto)

“Why?!” (Geralt)

Because Float is a mid rank spell.

An apprentice can’t use it.

“Damn it. Grab on tight.” (Geralt)

It ended up with Geralt-san carrying me.

“Uhm, thanks, Geralt-sama.” (Makoto)

He is the son of a Grand Duke from a large country.

I should be careful with my words.

A bit too late for that though.

“No need for the -sama.” (Geralt)

“Uhm, Geralt-san.” (Makoto)

“Don’t need the -san either. No honorifics.” (Geralt)

Eeh, I am no good with that though.

“Gera-yan.” (Makoto)

“I’ll kill you.” (Geralt)

Hieh!

“Thanks, Geralt.” (Makoto)

“……”

No words?! 

In the end, there was no conversation after that, and he carried me back to the North Gate where Prince Leonard and the others were waiting.

“Makoto-san!” (Leonard)

Prince Leonard hugs me.

“Hero-dono! What unbelievable magic!” 

The Guardian Knight Old Man seems to be okay too.

“Hero Makoto-sama, that was splendid.” 

“Looks like we were the ones saved, huh…” 

The Sun Knight Captains say with a wry smile.

“Are the others okay?” (Makoto)

“Yeah, thanks to you. The seriously wounded are being carried away and treated.” 

That’s a relief. I don’t know how much damage I managed to reduce though.

“Reporting! The 4 gates of Symphonia have successfully fought back the monsters!” 

“Heard that?! This battle is our victory!” 

““““YEAAAAAAAH!!”””””

The soldiers raise cheers at the statement of the Knight Captain-san.

I see, we won.

That’s a relief.

We conversed for a while, but…someone approached us.

A man with golden armor, blonde hair, and sharp eyes.

That guy looked around at the Water Country soldiers, and then, turned around without saying anything.

Eh? Didn’t he have some business here?

“Rozes Hero, the Northern Sky Knight Order was saved by your magic.” (Geralt)

Geralt speaks to me with his back turned.

“Don’t misunderstand! You are currently stronger! But I will have a rematch with you one day, and at that time, I will be the one winning!” (Geralt)

“O-Okay…” (Makoto)

I don’t want a rematch though…

“You saved us. You have my gratitude.” (Geralt)

He left after saying that.

Vegeta?

“Makoto-san, let’s go back to where Nee-sama is. She must be worried.” (Leonard)

“Yeah, let’s do that, Prince Leonard.” (Makoto)

I want to see Lucy and Sa-san too.

They are okay, right?

“It is finally over?” 

I nodded at the Old Man.

“Alright, let’s go back.” (Makoto)

Aah, that was so rough.

The mayhem in the capital of Symphonia is finally over.

  1. Undine want to play forever, that’s a stretch but he did promise to do anything. That giant was cool though. And Geralt is now the Vegeta, Makoto doesn’t want any rivals, but Shounen demands it a guess. Still waiting on the moon bonus darn it
    Thanks for the chapter

  2. That was so cool and so funny!
    I knew Geraldt wasn’t such a bad guy… and for those of you who were waiting for undine, here she is and she is so nice! Even if she also tried to charm our poor Makoto… as someone says: two is a coincidence but three is a pattern!

    1. Who was Undine again? Not in this chapter, you made it sound like we should already know who she is.

      1. One of infamous 4 great elemental spirit, undine for water, gnome for earth, sylph for wind, salamander for fire

      2. Undine is extremely famous in all fantasy media, and is often top tier in terms of spellcasting in RPG related things. Considering Makato is a water mage and spirit mage, it was safe to assume he would be using Undine sooner or later.

      3. It’s just a popular name for powerful water spirits in Japanese media, or more specifically, JRPGs.

        Undine = Water
        Gnome = Earth
        Sylph = Wind
        Salamander = Fire

        are the archetypal names, and Salamander is sometimes replaced with Ifrit/Efreet, because I guess, frankly, “Salamander” doesn’t sound very cool.

      4. If it is about how peoples guessed back then. In the chapter where he ended up sleeping in the same bed as Lucy after training his water and spirit magic by lowering his [Calm Mind] rate, he heard a “Fufufu-” when falling asleep. And he heard it another time if I’m correct (maybe the Sun knights training ground).
        If it is about Undine herself, she is a often used mythological figure in stories and games from greeck mythology.

  3. Hahaha. That was a nice chapter. Excited to find out what others reaction about makoto’s water giant would be

  5. Thanks for the chapter.
    It was way better than I was expecting it to be.
    Geralt survived his Leeroy Jenkins and Makoto showed an amazing amount of control on a spell that went berserk.
    I so want him to pull a stunt like he did at the Water County once they start inviting him to the Sun Country.


  6. At least there is no synchronization between Makoto and geralt.

    If that happens, I think that “one-sided BL world” shall welcome a new “hero”.

    I am serious… Reading that Leonard is blushing like a girl really make me wonder, if that synchronizing will change ur gender or sexual orientation…

    If Leonard turns out to be female in disguise, this would be so awkward

    1. The last part made me think that someday Leonard would be in a death’s door and the only way to save him is doing something with the side effect of his gender changed lol

    2. Pfttt… this had me laughing harder then the “Vegeta?” Comment…
      And god please no… I dont want any BL in this fic. Would be fine with an Awkward Leona though, just for the utter mayhem it would cause the girls… not that we need a 9 y/o pining over Makoto…

  7. lol the prince became more and more like a maiden

    I’m waiting for our MC to reach the point where he can summon Undine as will. That would solve his mana problem

  8. Thanks for the chapter.
    Did they sell Charm type skills at a discount? Seriously, this other world is full of scary women.
    Geralt is still a pain in the ass, no matter the change of heart.

  9. “I dub thee, Gera-yan!”
    I think Makoto’s building up another harem, but of guys this time.
    Leonard – Kouhai
    Sakurai – Childhood Friend
    Geralt – Tsundere
    I wonder if he gets other elements, would he be able to request help from all the other spirits?
    Water = Undine
    Wind = Sylph(?)
    Fire = Salamander(?)
    Earth = Gnome(?)
    etc.

    1. I wanted to say the current speculation is Leo is really a leona reverse trap, but iirc there was a hot spring chapter where Leo and the old royal guard dude where talking in the bath, so that kills that scenario.

  10. Thanks for the chapter!

    So that voice is Undine’s voice, eh? As expected.
    And it seems Geralt actually changed a bit. That gives me relieves. Well, even though he took someone’s life only because he pissed off, i’m glad seeing his attitude changed even for a bit.

    And Undine invited Makoto to stay with her forever? Her destroying monsters considered as fun? I see now why Spirit user is so scarce. I can only imagine what would happen if Geralt didn’t save Makoto. Maybe the world would turns into complete oceans lel

    1. Seems unlikely. He normally exerts complete control over the other person’s mana, and here he’s just skimming the surface. Now that you mention it though, I’m wondering if Lucy is related to Ifrit somehow.

      1. @Miserys_End She’s a relative (grand or great grand child?) of Jhonny, the spirit user playboy with a hundred kids, if that helps. I’m just saying, Ifrit is probably pretty hot.

    1. Vaguely remember there was a bath scene where Makoto, the old royal guard dude and Leonard are all talking about something. Or was it a sauna… *shrug* one of the two. In any case, if that did happen and I’m not just mistaking it for another similar group, leo should definitely be a 9y/o boy.

      1. The scene is when Fuji-yan, Takki-dono and Prince Leo took a bath together when they arrived in Symphonia. Takki-dono invited the guards into the bath as well but they refused. The scene mentioned how everything below the shoulders was obscured by steam and utterly invisible and both Takki-dono and Fuji-yan wondered whether Leo was actually a boy but couldn’t find out. Although in that scene the bath was a men’s bath with a women’s bath being separate.

  11. This was as nice as a snow cone on a hot summer day. Thanks for the chapter and looking forward to what happens next.

  12. Water giant spell??? That’s kinda cool, it’s better to tinker that spell more like make it a poison like hans ahahahah,
    Thanks for the update

  13. > Prince Leonard blushing by Makoto’s feat: It seems every chapter, Leo-kun was going in the path of Boku no Pico style of relationship with Makoto… Ohhh please for our mind sake, dont be like that….

    > Makoto mentions Vegeta to Geralt (Tsundere style):
    The moment Geralt turn-around and says his thanks, as the Goku x Vegeta meme circulated worldwide before, read that paragraph again and this time sing the “I will always love you” in that scene…

  14. Im hoping it will end up with Leonard becoming a sort of Gohan(Adult) to Makato with Geralt ending up more as a Piccolo type character. (but not towards Leonard, just to Makato)

  15. It was already obvious before but the “side” characters realy don’t have their own self? …personality?…they only react in like… ‘W-what!?’ or …’Woah’ …’As expected’. It makes them kind of boring and easily forgettable.
    Well… Just an opinion.

  16. Aaah, so that’s why Jhonny was so promiscuous. He had the ultimate power of synchro. I am so slow.

    Geralt is… still an unconscionable sack of taint bitters. But at least he dances around the edge of the moral event horizon. Also he has a point; I hope Leo gets due credit for being an adequate mana battery.

  17. Boo! I was hoping Geralt would die. There’s enough horrible people that get easily forgiven in these types of stories. One Vegeta is enough.

    So now is Undine also gonna sexually harass Makoto like Noah?

  18. Thanks for chap
    I was ROFL when he casually added vegeta
    Undine, new waifu get!!
    But i feel her appearance may not be a coincidence. Some huge backstory will happen.

    Next the save moon oracle part yay

  19. Thanks for the chapter! And damn I’ve been reacting later and later for each of these updates, gotta do better next time… Anyway Leonard’s idolizing of Makoto seems to be on the level of a maiden in love now, should makoto be worried? Probably not~ And that garalt realy does seem like vegeta with being hateful at first but a tsundere later, i mean what he said to aya and lucy was horrible but what happened to him with his position and fiance being taken by sakurai, and makoto killing him with his berserk spell, you gotta pity him atleast, who knows ,maybe he’ll have a bonding moment with makoto later~ anyways next chapter either is a party in the palace where makoto will make more noble friends or we’re going back to the first town with his new party members and start raising them love points with the moon oracle

  20. Thanks for the chapter and thanks to the sponsors! ^^
    Tsunsdere get? x)
    With that, the problems with the Valentine Household should be at an end except for the new rivalery. 🙂
    The more mindblowing for them must be the Great Sage saying “I don’t know.” though. XD
    Good job to thoses that guessed right for the identity of “Fufufu-” a few chapters back. ^^

  21. If it is about how peoples guessed back then. In the chapter where he ended up sleeping in the same bed as Lucy after training his water and spirit magic by lowering his [Calm Mind] rate, he heard a “Fufufu-” when falling asleep. And he heard it another time if I’m correct (maybe the Sun knights training ground).
    If it is about Undine herself, she is a often used mythological figure in stories and games from greeck mythology.

    1. The first time Takki-dono hears the Fufu- laugh is when he is training in Horun on the lake when the Tsundere Old man comes across him.

  22. Thak for the chapter.

    Johnny Walker. If nothing else this hero of the past had to be a GREAT drinker.

    Undine… didnt she have some mermaid as maidservants in some mith? The “I charm you with my song” mermaid, not the “more fish than human”.

    And the young prince… His situation is starting to worry me. Not in a yaoi sense, that dont bother me.
    What worry me is if the prince try to get the yaoi flag up and his sister get wind of it. We would probably see her Yandere flag popping out *brrr*

  23. Interesting to note that Makoto lost control again…and it involved Geralt being nearby. Vast different reasons of why he lost control (first one was because he was basically pissed off at Geralt and the second one was the desperation to protect people against a massive army) but if Makoto loses control once again AND Geralt is nearby, then he should start taking hints to stay away from him.

  24. Well, character developments! He might turn likable yet.

    And Makoto is almost kidnapped, seriously he should be thankful he only has any real affinity with water. Imagine the shuraba between multiple great spirits.

  25. Thank you Reigokai! A really fantastic chapter!

    Ooooh! Yes! Undine appears. AND she may well become a new harem member. Heehee. So super spirit magic becomes a water Giant/Titan. Hey Imagine if Takki-dono finds away to create multiple ones of them and control them like his water dragons and such. Water Giant Squad Assemble!

    Gera-yan! Yes! He shall forever be known as Gera-yan from now on! Love his interactions with the Great Sage, who else would slap some manners into him, well try to. And now the rivalry has begun! Wonder how that will turn out?

  26. Hm… Syncro with spirits is good and all, but he is still using the spirits power… This should have increased his proficiency though.
    I do have an idea, but I won’t spell it out, not yet, I am not sure. I do think he can try something with a certain magic though
