Tsuki – Chapter 332: Atonement must be fast and plentiful (1)

“Eh…ah, W-Waka-sama?!” 

Hm?

I turn towards the direction of the person that suddenly called me in the way that only I am called with.

Several women in sensational dresses were standing there.

Oh?

“Hatsuharu, huh. You came to Rotsgard?” (Makoto)

“Yes! Are you doing your teacher work, Waka-sama?” (Hatsuharu) 

One of the girls in the group lightly walks to where I am.

It was one of the Gorgons that came to this side from Asora.

These girls are working both at the brothels and the store in this town.

“Something like that. You are not causing trouble to Ester-san, right?” (Makoto)

It is not only Hatsuharu, the Gorgons in general are doing well in this hyuman settlement.

In the past, they had no choice but to stay cooped up because of their ability, so now that they have obtained permission to go out, they are mostly social and curious, and are enjoying their life over here as well.

I am happy that they are fitting in properly.

They are also getting better at taking care of the animals in the Asora side.

“No problem!” (Hatsuharu) 

“As expected of you, Hatsuharu. I am relieved.” (Makoto)

“Won’t you go play, Waka-sama?” (Hatsuharu) 

“Here? Don’t plan to. Looks like my free pass will be going solely to your income.” (Makoto)

“Too bad! Eventually when Tomoe-sama and the others give the permission, please please come!” (Hatsuharu) 

“Don’t say something ridiculous as if nothing. I am glad to see you are having fun.” (Makoto)

“Ehehe.” (Hatsuharu) 

The little sister of the Gorgon’s Matriarch.

This girl that I named Hatsuharu for when she went outside is a cheerful girl.

But it is a bit different from being wholly naive. Her words, expressions, and gestures properly have their allure.

I don’t know if it is a racial trait, or  her own personal trait though.

Ester-san says the Gorgons are terribly popular.

Of course, as hyuman girls.

It seems no one has seen through their race yet, and they would sometimes nonchalantly speak badly about demi-humans and mamonos, and the Gorgons would chuckle internally at that.

They think that Hatsuharu and the other purple haired girls are a group of beauties that came to these lands from faraway to earn money. 

As if there would be such an unnatural trope of beauties.

There’s even hyumans that would carefreely say they would want to check out their village.

It is deep in the wasteland. Go ahead and pay a visit.

“…Right, Hatsuharu, do you know a girl called Seiren?” (Makoto)

“Seiren?” 

“Yeah. A hyuman woman of the Academy.” (Makoto)

“Seiren Garmena?” 

“Why full name? Do you know her, Hatsuharu?” (Makoto)

“I heard that she is the girl you confessed to, Waka-sama.” 

“That’s a complete misunderstanding. Well, it is not wrong.” (Makoto)

Tomoe and Mio gave me quite the straight stares and I suffered a pretty intense questioning. 

Saying they would go finish her off.

“I am not acquainted with her personally, but is it a job that we can help with?” (Hatsuharu) 

Hatsuharu’s eyes narrowed, and a ghastly aura flowed out from her.

‘Help’.

Erase, or end; these girls must be thinking along those lines.

They are completely taking it the wrong way.

“Sadly to say…ah, right.” (Makoto)

“Waka-sama?” (Hatsuharu) 

I ponder for a bit.

If they know her name, maybe we could have them move like we are doing with the rumors of Tsige.

“About that Seiren, it seems like she isn’t in a good spot in Rotsgard.” (Makoto)

“Right. She rejected Waka-sama after all. She is being pointed at behind her back in all places.” 

Hatsuharu nods as if it were a matter of fact.

It troubles me that she thinks that’s just the natural conclusion.

Alright, I will have her help out.

“And so, I am troubled by this. The confession is a misunderstanding, and I have no intentions of hurting that girl. I don’t mind if it is at the time when you are working and taking a break in Rotsgard, can you spread the word that Seiren and I are simply in a healthy friendship?” (Makoto)

“You are helping her?” 

“Of course.” (Makoto)

Please don’t look at me with that surprised face.

Of course, if I didn’t know about it, I wouldn’t have minded just leaving it be. But I know about it now.

We are just going to be moving a bit anyways.

“Understood. If it is Waka-sama’s order. Right, about participating as a guest in the lectures of the students that was requested of before, will it be possible to do so in the time you are still here, Waka-sama? Shiki-sama said he wanted to do it when you are here if possible, Waka-sama.” (Hatsuharu)

“Right. It is about time…they learn how scary it is to fight an enemy that has a special fighting style… I haven’t decided who will come yet, but I will have one come soon. I will notify about this as soon as that happens.” (Makoto)

“I will go~! Together with Kuro-chan!” (Hatsuharu)

“Hatsuharu and Kuro? …The opponents will be students, so if that happens, make sure not to bully them too much.” (Makoto)

A Saber Cat and a Gorgon.

I immediately understood what Hatsuharu wanted to do. 

Even at the illusion experience not that long ago, many retired, so I wonder if it will be okay?

I heard that a number of people have retired because of the hot-blooded teachings of Daena, too.

It wouldn’t be funny to have the second generation wiped out.

“Okay! Then, Waka-sama, take care!” (Hatsuharu)

“Thanks. You too, Hatsuharu.” (Makoto)

That was an unexpected meeting.

But that’s impressive.

They have pretty much mastered their control of their petrification ability.

She did have her glasses in her pocket just in case.

But from what I saw just now, those glasses are already simply serving as a good-luck charm of sorts.

I should check out how the other girls are doing as well.

And so, I hurried.

There’s no harm in finishing this matter as soon as possible.

“That’s unexpected.” 

“Izumo.” (Makoto)

“You are a man too, huh, Sensei.” (Izumo)

“Nice timing. Give me a bit of your time.” (Makoto)

I drag Izumo to one of the establishments closeby.

“Are those kinds of girls your type?” (Izumo)

“As if. I do think Hatsuharu is an attractive girl, but we are not in a customer and prostitute relationship.” (Makoto)

“…Really?” (Izumo)

“That girl is an employee of the Kuzunoha Company. In other words, a female subordinate.” (Makoto)

“The Company. I see. She is a different type from Seiren after all.” (Izumo)

Oi.

Why is it that even you know about Seiren and can easily mention her name in this situation?

Could it be that she is more famous than I thought?

It can be wrapped up by today, right?

I don’t want to take several days for something like this.

“Seiren… I see, you also know about her.” (Makoto)

“Probably everyone related to the Academy knows about her. The fact that the type of Sensei is Seiren Garmena.” (Izumo)

“…”

No way…

No one said anything to me. 

And yet, everyone knows her full name as if it were common knowledge.

It feels like a nightmare.

“A hobbyist noble daughter of the Empire that has remained in the Academy specializing in the basic foundations of arias. Well, she is a bit old to be called a daughter though. She is unmarried and is unrelated to her family. She is an uninteresting woman whose sole purpose is research and has no additional points of interest.” (Izumo)

Izumo, even if you talk about age when you are a lolicon yourself…

It is Iroha-chan, you know?

Anyways, from what I hear of Izumo, I can see some malice towards the girl.

I thought that there wouldn’t be any inconveniences in having the impression of the Kuzunoha Company and mine get better, but it looks like that was shallow.

I learned that, as a result, many minute problematic things and situations can unfold because of us without being aware.

“I think she is plenty beautiful though. Well, I do admit that she would look old compared to your fiance though.” (Makoto)

“…Sensei.” (Izumo)

“What?” (Makoto)

“I am not a lolicon.” (Izumo)

He read my mind.

“…You know that excuse won’t work on me.” (Makoto)

Just how many people do you think would be convinced by that statement of yours after being introduced to Iroha-chan?

“It is just that the girl I fell in love with was by chance young!” (Izumo)

“……”

But you know, when you two are lined up side by side, there’s definitely a lot of people who would think you are brother and sister —and ones that are pretty far apart in age. 

“Also!” (Izumo)

“Hm?” (Makoto)

“It was privately wrapped up, but we have finished with the engagement gift and the ceremony! Iroha is already my wife!” (Izumo)

“…Eh? It hasn’t even been 1 week since you two met in person though. Seriously?” (Makoto)

“If you meet your fated woman, you would want to be together with her as fast as possible, don’t you think?” (Izumo)

“But the Ikusabe and the Osakabe are pretty influential households, right? Is it something that can be wrapped up in such a short span of time?” (Makoto)

It is an unbelievable speed even for normal households. 

“I served the Empress of Lorel, Sairitz-sama. Because of that connection, she moved strings to help me out.” (Izumo)

“Sairitz-san did?” (Makoto)

“Yes. Thanks to that, Iroha-chan and I are officially married. However, a public announcement of it will be left for a while later, and I was thinking about telling Jin and the others to celebrate somewhere, but we might have to leave that for a while later too.” (Izumo)

“I-I see. No matter the case, congratulations. May you two be happy.” (Makoto)

“Thank you very much. Iroha and I are also grateful to you.” (Izumo)

Helping out in the marriage of a subordinate, huh.

Sairitz-san is a pretty chivalrous superior. 

I want to be like that too.

“You and Iroha, huh. Thanks for that wholesome remark. Despite your way of saying it, what you did was pretty devoted though.” (Makoto)

“?”

“You acted as an agent at that execution, right?” (Makoto)

“!!”

“Secretly, silently, sharply; Tomoe and I were impressed about how skilful you were.” (Makoto)

“…Even my father saw through it, so I was sure that if you were watching, you would have seen through it too.” (Izumo)

“You were good. The aria that you made a weapon of yours in the Academy, you have completely mastered it now.” (Makoto)

Motion aria, was it?

A method to reutilize the fleeting remaining fragments of aria that have just fulfilled their role. 

It shortens the time of an aria, and the longer the fight, the more spells you can shoot with reduced cost. 

Even though he began developing that technique because he wanted to maintain his arias while he was moving, there’s an even broader horizon in long battles. 

It seems like it has served in a good amount of short battles just as Izumo wanted which is amusing.

It is no doubt a useful technique and that’s the important part.

“Yes. I could use it as if it were a part of my body even at Kannaoi. That battle changed me in a lot of ways.” (Izumo)

“…Be sure to thank Shiki. I personally didn’t want you guys to come along after all.” (Makoto)

“No, if Sensei hadn’t been there, we may have grown, but we would have died. You saved our lives, Raidou-sensei.” (Izumo)

I could somewhat tell that his ‘we’ referred to him and Iroha-chan. 

How passionate of him.

Well, fine.

I request Izumo for his help with Seiren-san and…

Ooh.

Today is a day of good encounters and ideas.

I thought of something nice.

“Hey, Izumo.” (Makoto)

“What is it?” (Izumo)

“You said you have already made motion aria your own, right?” (Makoto)

“Yes!” (Izumo)

“Then, it wouldn’t be a hidden trump card, but a regular technique of yours now.” (Makoto)

“…? Yeah?” (Izumo)

“This may sound sly right after being told I am your life savior, but…” (Makoto)

“…”

“If I were to ask you to explain in detail about motion aria to a certain girl, would you be able to do it?” (Makoto)

Seiren-san is a researcher, and she specializes in the basic foundations of arias. 

That’s what I heard from Izumo.

I heard from the Master of Rabidoll that she specializes in something about magic, so the information should be right. 

Then, the motion aria of Izumo should be of use to her research in some way.

Something that isn’t as abnormal as Shiki, Mio, and the researches of Asora should serve just right.

“Sensei, do you have lingering affection for Seiren or something?” (Izumo)

“None! In the first place…no, it is nothing. I heard that she is in a painful position because of me. That’s why I wanted to help her out for all the troubles.” (Makoto) 

“How praiseworthy. But…that’s an important technique of mine, so disclosing it all of a sudden for study is a bit troubling. Also, I am not as kind hearted as you, Sensei. I honestly hate her for how terrible she was to the teacher I respect.” (Izumo)

“Everything is a tragic misunderstanding. I understand that you have an attachment to the technique you yourself thought up, but please think of it as saving someone.” (Makoto)

I lower my head to Izumo who is at the other side of the table.

“…Well, damn. I can’t refuse after you have lowered your head. Fine, it is the request of Sensei. Also, I already have an idea for a new trump card anyways.” (Izumo)

“Sorry about that. But I can’t allow that soul shaving technique you have thought up in your head. Think of something else.” (Makoto)

“?!” 

Before Izumo and I met, he was trying to put his hands on magic that would cost the caster their life. 

Izumo was trying to forcefully activate several life-risking spells at the same time.

It is an act that’s clearly to try and surpass one’s own limits.

Of course it would come with a price.

A day may come where that power might be of use, but it would be a one-time thing.

It isn’t something to be perfecting right now.

“Even if you manage to use that, I can’t advise you to concentrate on a technique you can’t confirm its viability of.” (Makoto)

“Got exposed, huh.” (Izumo)

“Of course. I don’t mind if you get to the point of being able to do it, but you finally managed to marry. It might be the time when you begin moving in ways to protect the person you want to protect.” (Makoto)

“…Right. It is a point of view that I didn’t have not that long ago.” (Izumo)

“But I had no intentions of just having you one-sidedly help me. Accept this as payment for the motion aria request.” (Makoto)

“…A video? Can I watch it?” (Izumo)

Minerals with carved seals for video watching are spread around more prominently in Rotsgard than in other places.

Izumo could tell in one glance what was the thing I brought out.

It is actually pretty rare for people to be able to tell immediately what this is, aside from here and Tsige.

“Yeah. It is not something that would help you out in battle, but I am sure you will be able to enjoy it.” (Makoto)

“Hoh, I wonder what it is. Well then…!” (Izumo)

“…”

“Eh?! Uooooh? What’s that? I didn’t know that was possible! You can do the plumbing in this phase?! The material division is crazy!!” (Izumo)

I would expect nothing less from the work of Elder Dwarves.

Izumo was spellbound by them in an instant. 

It seems there’s something in it that pulls like-minded people.

Izumo must understand more of the good parts than me who can’t even understand more than half of it.

He is a bit noisy though.

We are in an establishment here, you know?

In the middle of it, he was watching the video while letting out weird ‘hoa hoa’ sounds as it safely ended.

The attention we are getting from the surroundings is painful.

“Sensei, are there anymore of this?! As in, a series!” (Izumo)

“This is the only one in existence for now.” (Makoto)

“This is Tsige, right?” (Izumo)

“Yeah. As you can see, it is an orphanage.” (Makoto)

“Orphanage? …Not a fortress?” (Izumo)

“There was a subtitle at the beginning that said this is the reconstruction of the Weitz Orphanage, right? Well, there’s actually one last element added to it, but that one isn’t recorded.” (Makoto)

“The completed product is in Tsige… I want to see it.” (Izumo)

“Once you have the time to, go ahead. On your honeymoon, maybe?” (Makoto)

“I have decided. We will go to Tsige on our honeymoon.” (Izumo)

…I wonder if Iroha-chan will be fine with that.

I was wondering if to retort to that, but I was the one who said it in the first place, even if it was just a random thought.

I should have stayed silent, huh.

I don’t think that’s a pretty romantic place to be going to on a honeymoon.

But there’s married couples like Daena.

I pity their child.

I pray that its grandfather and grandmother are good people.

“Sensei, if there’s a 2nd part to this, please show it to me. I am willing to sell another trump card for it!” (Izumo)

2nd part.

Trump card.

…Why do you assume that’s how it is going to be working from now on?

Even though I asked something unreasonable of Izumo as exposing a battle technique of his, he left the place in a merry mood with ore in hand.

What’s left is Zara-san and the staff members of the Academy.

I would also like to ask Zara-san about the appraisal matter if he has any information about it.

Let’s hurry.

I want to finish all of this while the sun is still up.

  2. I am surprise that after Seiren got that famous the empire didn’t try to recruit her to lure Raido, i mean… sounds like something the empire would do

    1. All the people keeping an eye on him want to kill him.

      The only people trying to recruit him are Lorel, even the demons gave up and just want to keep him happily at arms length and his relationship with Rambrant is nearly to the point of servitude to ensure he doesnt flip out on them.

    2. The Empire, the Demons, and Limia would probably skip the foreplay, just take her hostage, put her in the middle of a crop circle with a thousand demihyumans or captured demons, waiting for Makoto to try rescuing her.

  3. Thanks for the chapter !

    Well damn, this youngsters are in love dovey in each other that they are married after one week of engaged with each other. Lol so everyone in academy know about this except Makoto, seem like Rosgard give him another nightmare hahahaha.

    Izumo your trump card aren’t thing to bargain to obtain Kuzunoha Contraction video series you know. Since the crystal already shown in Tsige and Rosgard, I would expect Kuzonoha would launch entertainment video series.

    1. Come to think of it, Mio’s favorite sentai series was based on construction machinery, wasn’t it? Are they gonna start officially releasing those outfits, and videos featuring them soon?

  4. [Orphanage? …Not a fortress?]
    That’s definitely the correct response.
    Still, since I don’t actually know the square footage, I can’t really tell exactly how big it is…
    Also, since that Seiren girl is devoted to research, couldn’t he give the blueprint to her too?

  5. Is it only me who feel that

    this whole seiren thingy is a scheme to check if Makoto will move for girl, who he “confessed” to before?

    To seiren, she may be suffering before.
    But, she ends up getting more benefits now.

    Wouldn’t everyone else, attempt the same scheme…
    Reject Makoto.
    Got into dire situation coz of Makoto.
    Wait for Makoto came to the rescue.

    Smell like hibiki or aion is involved in this arc
    (I know I am making zero sense to add hibiki here…
    I just think she is the type who scheme too much)

    1. She does scheme a lot, but she’s probably not involved here, Seiren was before the tournament arc when Hibiki found out Makoto was there. Also I don’t think things have been going so positively for Seiren, lot of girls “threw themselves” at him, and were turned down, he proposes to her and she runs off, now he’s even more rich and powerful, all the rejected girls are probably making her life miserable. Plus everyone in the school is probably harassing her too, since he’s a rising star teacher.

  6. “Today is a day of good encounters and ideas.”
    This is all going to backfire hilariously on him, isn’t it? It’s good that he’s willing to believe that it was his misunderstanding, but he’s charging in with a lot of assumptions on what exactly the misunderstanding was and how to fix it. Makoto’s luck is not the kind that supports laying plans on the premise of happy circumstance.

  7. izumo soon to be OTAKU….

    PROUD TO BE OTAKU…
    ALL HAIL OTAKU
    ALL HAIL OTAKU
    ALL HAIL OTAKU
    … DEATH TO RIAJUUU

  8. Tune in next week to watch Makoto’s entire class hang out with brothel girls, get stoned and then drop out.

        1. No I mean, would female students need to visit a brothel?

          Also, Waka-sama wouldn’t visit a brothel without an official reason. I’m sure of it.

  9. So Seiren’s from the Empire? Oh now I’m curious where the author is going with this sub plot. So far the Kuzunoha Company doesn’t have any meaningful connection to the Empire other than having it as a thorn in their side. In comparison to the Demon’s Kingdom, Limia, et., the Empire kind of hangs there in limbo. However now they have an opportunity to form a connection with someone who is from the empire. It’s a researcher on top of that… Perhaps we’ll get a hint of the current technological prowess the Empire is hiding.

    If there is one thing that bugs me, it is the fact Tomoe gave permission to the Gordons in regards to bedding with Makoto… I guess Asorians are a-okay, huh?

    1. Now that you mention it, the Empire has been trying to manufacture guns so maybe Seiren might know something about that.

      Well Tomoe does want Makoto to leave behind a lot of descendants so she can take care of them since he is a hyuman so he’d have a short lifespan compared to her. Course given how OP he is now, he’s probably an immortal now but Tomoe would still totally be fine with him leaving many descendants.

      1. He can shoot at abstract concepts with his bow, when the time comes he’ll probably just chase the Reaper off with a bunch of warning shots, making an outline with arrows Looney Tunes style, leave it too scared to come for him again.

    1. So the Gorgons have purple hair?

      They must’ve been reincarnated from Japan into this world by the Demon God then. (DesuMachi reference)

      [“I am not a lolicon.” (Izumo)]

      The only lolis I happened to take a liking to are Komoe and that short Forest Oni receptionist girl.

      [“Secretly, silently, sharply; Tomoe and I were impressed about how skilful you were.” (Makoto)]

      [Something that isn’t as abnormal as Shiki, Mio, and the researches of Asora should serve just right.]

      [I was wondering if to retort to that, but I was the one who said it in the first place, even if it was just a random thought.]
      * if to retort —> if I should retort // how to retort

  10. thank for the chapter

    Izumo, even if you talk about age when you are a lolicon yourself…
    izumo: i am not a pedophile, i am a feminist.

    I hope Izumo says this sentence (recently I finished watching Gintama)

      1. This Gintama reference, there is one character who always says this sentence every time he appears.
        if in lucky star I don’t really remember, is there one of the characters who say this sentence there?

  11. This was nice, but let’s get to the business at hand! Hibiki and Trashmoki need to be dusted off for real. Makoto has no common sense and makes mountains out of molehills. Thanks for the chapter.

  12. Seiren was such an unlucky girl.

    Whats happening to her can be compared to a Prince rejected a Duke Daughter for engagement, and follow up to that was a shame to the family. Something like that.

    Makoto has a good heart. A whimsical proposal to random stranger was indeed weird and can inflict a sudden rejection.
    But the problem is Seiren was a nobody compared to the influence and achievements Makoto has.

    If I were me, i might be ask to what extent Seiren capability has, and employ her if whats she’s researching are useful for product development, as a token of apology…

  13. So it really was just major misunderstanding and bad luck on Seiren’s side.

    Honestly, I would help Seiren just for making all these Bug golddiggers buzz off.

  14. Eh? The Gorgons all have purple hair? Are any of them Riders or Lancers?

    Uh Makoto should have probably contacted Seiren first. Find out exactly what’s the problem before ordering your subordinates to do stuff. I mean it probably is what he thinks and just a misunderstanding where he assumed she was gonna confess to him so he preempted it in an attempt to put her off but he should still make sure first. With what he’s doing, people might think he’s still trying to win her over and now trying to use his subordinates to help.

    Maybe Makoto should give Izumo some anime or something to inspire him in creating a new trump card. Mio created her revolvers from anime and SFX costumes from tokusatsu. Meanwhile some eldwa and an arke came up with mecha after seeing some mecha anime. Just let Izumo watch some Fate/Stay Night or something to inspire him to create Unlimited Blade Works or whatever.

  15. Thanks for the chapter, man i just love some chapters like this, they are really fun and enjoyable. Wondergin how much the new students will suffer under this new pair, and how strong the one to stay behind will be. That Izumo, is turning up to be more fun character that I first though.

  16. Yay~ They are gonna make the 2nd generation students experience the hell Jin and the others went through~ Looking forward to it! They might even thank Daena for the advance practice xD

    Zara too. It’s been awhile since he appears. I wonder what’s going on now…

    I thought Izumo matured, but of course, he’s still a kid at heart, especially if it’s about his interests. Fufufu. I wonder what kinda new trump cards will he prepare just to watch the anticipated next parts of the construction video. It’ll help him get motivated in thinking of trump cards, so Raidou can leave it alone and not tell him of the misunderstanding.

    I don’t care about Seiren but I do expect her to give back the gratitude to Raidou afterwards and become one of his worshippers just like the asora residents and the Kaneleon sisters…

    Thanks for the chapter~♡

  17. its not lolicons, its early access XD
    joke i heard somewhere..

    i do feel the entire Seiren thing is a trap. like, someone trying to rope in Raidou to their sphere of influence.

    thank you for the chapters~
    stay safe and healthy everyone!

  18. Izumo wanders near red light district after marriage. And he went back to Rotsgard in less than a week, speaking of 1 week it’s been almost 2 years since they met in our perspective.

  19. This Seiren mini-arc is such a dumb subplot. The author is forcing it too much. Makoto might be kind, but he’s not a saint. Why would he try to help out a golddigger who was even disgusted by his appearance. Sure, Makoto caused a simple misunderstanding which inadvertently — albeit unintentional — led to grossly disproportionate repercussions, but that shouldn’t be enough to cause him guilt with his current mindset. The girl was trying to use Makoto and it backfired on her instead. Boo-fricking-hoo. Makoto doesn’t have to be vicious towards her, but he doesn’t have to help her either. And considering how jaded Makoto is now, he really wouldn’t if the author wasn’t forcing it.

    1. It’s a young researcher student, to which Makoto “confessed” in Chapter 92.
      Mainly on accident. because he mistook her for one of 100+ golddiggers.

  20. Helping out in the marriage of a subordinate, huh.

    Sairitz-san is a pretty chivalrous superior.

    I want to be like that too.

    Yep, Ignorance is a bliss for makoto …. bet she did it for a specific reason, not just a pure good will …. also, wonder what would his reaction be if Tomoe took alternative route and told him about Rembrant dark past, maybe makoto’s heart would be shattered

  21. Izumo, even if you talk about age when you are a lolicon yourself…
    It is Iroha-chan, you know?
    Anyways, from what I hear of Izumo, I can see some malice towards the girl.
    I thought that there wouldn’t be any inconveniences in having the impression of the Kuzunoha Company and mine get better, but it looks like that was shallow. I learned that, as a result, many minute problematic things and situations can unfold because of us without being aware.
    “I think she is plenty beautiful though. Well, I do admit that she would look old compared to your fiance though.” (Makoto)
    “…Sensei.” (Izumo)
    “What?” (Makoto)
    “I am not a lolicon.” (Izumo)
    He read my mind.
    “…You know that excuse won’t work on me.” (Makoto)

    Izumo kinda sus.
    If you have to deny being a lolicon, you’re probably a lolicon.
    Also, she did mention she was pretty flat, so maybe she’s like 12 or so?

    For his sake, I hope he decided to skip the nuptial night until she’s a little older.

  22. “I think she is plenty beautiful though. Well, I do admit that she would look old compared to your fiance though.” (Makoto)

    Big OOF

  23. “A hobbyist noble daughter of the Empire that has remained in the Academy specializing in the basic foundations of arias. Well, she is a bit old to be called a daughter though. She is unmarried and is unrelated to her family. She is an uninteresting woman whose sole purpose is research and has no additional points of interest.”

    Take her in an don’t let her out like Sari?

    1. Or instead of that, let her be Shiki’s assistant. Its not like he probably doesnt have some Tome or Grimoire about Aria research from when he was Liched Out. Or just bury her in a shallow grave and then let Tomoe revive her >_>

  24. I hope that this time they will not do as they did with Pione and that this time they will give us at least a dialogue with that Seira

      1. I mean if they are going to introduce an arc which seems pointless right now they might as well develop it.

      2. This arc is way better than the last one. The previous one had so many issues in it. Not only that the author has hardly mentioned other characters from that arc. Pretty sure he knows he messed up with that arc. So it’s best that he distances himself from that one.

  25. what if tomoki heard the rumor that makoto got rejected by that girl and charm her then do her and let makoto knows of it to piss him off?

    1. He is already dead if he attck dirrectly like that, well in pione friend case tomoki not dirrectly ain to makoto after all

  26. Makoto’s mentality of not wanting to bother strangers by burdening his acquaintances leaves a bad taste.

    Gold digger failing to dig gold should be mortified.

    1. It’s not even her fault.
      She is a victim of Makoto who let out his frustation from confession spree, while she is just coincidently walking past by him.

      1. No that’s not it. I remember, she told him that “She is Willing to be his 5th or 6th wife, if Makoto can give her funds for her research.” And after hearing that he made that remark. How is that his fault?

  27. Had to look up Seiren since I didn’t remember her, if anyone is curious she’s from chapter 82 of the manga.

    Also in the manga Makoto said “if you become my 1st wife” not a one night stand.

    1. Same was it in chapter 92. This is how it went
      There was once when a girl who had an appearance that was truly to my taste came wearing a white robe and, I couldn’t tell if she was demanding research expenses or proposing marriage, but when she did, I said jokingly: [If you become my number 1, I will marry and give you as much money as you want] And when I said that, not only did she show me an expression of incredible disgust, she also said: “No thanks!” As if her life was at stake, and ran away as fast as she could.
      I have been confessed as if looking down on me several times, but that one really got me
