Tondemo Skill - 514 - Workaholic Mukouda Can't Catch a Break

Eguchi Ren: Thank you to everyone who purchase the manga!

Breakfast was, naturally, things that I had already made ahead of time.

[1] The Gluttonous Quertet and Elf Grandma were fed with plenty of Ginger Grilled Rice Bowls. Loads and loads of it. I basically just treat her like one of my familiars. The only difference was that she doesn’t speak to me via telepathy.

The rest of us gets a proper Japanese-style breakfast menu that consists of:

Tondemo Skill - 513 - Tyrant Swordfish Served in Various Ways

Right, shall we make something with the Tyrant Swordfish?

Tomorrow will be the long awaited day off.

No matter what anyone says, my plan is to relax. So I’m going to go all out tonight and tomorrow's meals would be some prepared stuff.

That's right.

Let's have an Extravaganza Marlin Menu!

The shape of the Tyrant Swordfish was similar to the marlin, so I had high expectations for the meat. Luckily, when I inspected the meat, it had the characteristics of the lig...

Tondemo Skill - 512 - Forced Day Off

Gumihou: Adjusted dialogue, especially Sui’s. She’s suddenly speaking ‘normal people’ words, completely different from her ‘Sweet Sui-tan~~’ way


““Hm? This fish looks kinda different?”” Dora-chan commented.

“”Can eat fishy~?””

“”I guess that’s the most relevant question. Hey, Master, can we eat this one?””

I was currently looking nervously into the sea at the circling dorsal fin. When it burst out of the...

Tondemo Skill - 511 - Tyrant Swordfish

After a dinner of Cold Pasta, which I assure you is so much more delicious than it sounds, we went to bed early.

Thanks to the horror of facing Charybdis, we were all exhausted. Well, I don’t think my familiars were horrified, but we all fell asleep quickly enough.

The next day, I woke up refreshed.

A new day!

A day for new horrors!

No need to be bogged down by yesterday’s doom!

Hahah!

Members of the [Ark] also woke up with a new mental state.

Gumihou: Have Mukouda run away from reality more realistically.

The people from [Ark] were looking at me with pity in their eyes.

Why are you doing that anyway?!

It’s not like we deal with S Rank monsters all the time.

Well, we do encounter them from time to time, but the ones that dealt with those monsters were Fer & Co.

I merely spectate from the side…

…this is why I wanted to be a merchant in the first place!

I want to be...

Vending Machine - 117 - Location & Confession

Gumihou: So, not much editing thus far (because none is needed~~)

On this chapter, added a touch more ‘yay!’ feeling to Hakkon’s thoughts

A staircase leads down to a secret basement behind a hidden door. The little boy in me found the whole thing super exciting!

An actual secret base! I had always admired things like hidden doors and secret passages. While the Whimsical Fools’ naming sense is questionable, their secret base made up f...

Vending Machine - 116 - Secret

Starting from the day after the end of the banquet, the village began to recover its previous liveliness.

Non-combatants who had gone to Clearflow Lake level have decided to settle down on the starter dungeon level. Right now, carpenters, armourers and weapons craftsmen are working together to strengthen the barricades.

“I have adjusted the teleportation array between here and Clearflow Lake, making it more stable. I have also made some adjustments so that monsters can’t use i...

Vending Machine - 115 - Heart & Rice

On the way back, we managed to get to the village without having to fight a single battle. The hunters that had remained within the village cheered as Ramis pushed the barricade aside.

"Oooohhh—! How was the mission?”

"Who is that you're carrying?"

The Leader held up his hand, stopping the hunters who were eagerly crowding over.

When it looked like everyone was no longer rushing in, he took in a deep breath and loudly announced, “

Gumihou: Henceforth [Fools of Whimsy] will be known as [Whimsical Fools] for a more immersive experience.


We join forces with Mishael to mow down the enemy and retreat to where the [Whimsical Fools] are gathered.

The battle is still ongoing but only the really fierce and hot-blooded monsters attacked us. Most of the enemy had fallen back to the wall to observe the situation.

If they have any will of their own, they would not try to attack hunters ...

Eguchi Ren: Actor Masaki Suda recommended this manga on TBS’s Sakurai-Ariyoshi The Yakai show!

As the author, I could not be happier, I’m truly grateful. Thank you, thank you.

Gumihou: As the translator, I'm happy for you too~


On top of the slowly moving [Mizumaru], two very different groups of beings sat facing each other. On one side were the nonchalant Fer, Grandpa Gon and Dora-chan. On the other, were memb...

“Uooohhh!!!! I’m gonna dieeeeeee!!!”

As for myself, “What is going on!? Fer! Grandpa Gon! Do something!!!”...

We sailed across the ocean on the [Mizumaru].

“Wow, I never thought that dungeons could manifest themselves like this…” I muttered to myself as I gazed out at the cobalt-blue sea all around us. [1] Aside from a few faraway islands, there were hardly any landmarks at all. If not for Fer’s absolute ability to sense magic, we would have been lost for years in this place.

Fer snorted, “It is my first time seeing this as well. However, considering how it is responding, it app...

Tondemo Skill - 506 - Nostalgic Seafood BBQ

It’s been a long time since our last proper seafood barbecue.

Today, we shall use the Giant Scallops and Giant Clams caught by Dora-chan and Sui.

Well, first, I should cut these giant meat down to size. The giant meat may look impressive, but I have a feeling it would be pretty tough to eat steak-size clams and scallops. Even so, I should try making those someday…

But, for today… let's just grill up some of the clams and scallops with salt and pepper. That would almost...

Tondemo Skill - 505 - The Scent of the Sea

Eguchi-san: This chapter is a little short.


Once the Assassin Jaguars were defeated, we venture forward towards the hole between the rocks.

Inside, we found a set of stairs going down, down, down…

“Hey, don’t you think there are too many stairs?”

Generally, the stairs between dungeon floors were only about a couple of flights. However, this one seemed endless.

I think I counted over 50 steps already.

This certainly did no...

General adjustment to make the text smoother.

Thanks to last night’s Turtle Hotpot, the gluttonous quartet practically leapt out of bed this morning. Cheerful and nearly bursting with energy, they happily munched on their Pork Cutlet Sandwiches washing everything down with coke and cider.

The [Ark] was also very energetic and, at their request, had the same meat, meat, meat menu as my familiars.

Feodora-san was poking at her cheek with one finger even as h...

Tondemo Skill - 503 - Turtle Hotpot Again

General adjustment to make the text smoother.

We spent a whole week travelling through the wetlands on [Mizumaru].

We made a few stops at the request of [Ark], and allowed Fer and Sui opportunities to ‘exercise’ by killing off some random strong monsters so that they would not get too bored. Overall, our progress was relatively smooth.

Speaking of which, the people from [Ark] generally went after brightly coloured birds that looked a lot like parrots. View Post

Tondemo Skill 502 - Mukouda the Bold

General adjustment to make the text smoother.

After the emotional reunion, we boarded the [Mizumaru] once more and left the wretched termite hill behind.

Speaking of which, the white oval rock thing turned out to be a white opal upon Appraisal. I’m thinking of keeping as a memento instead of selling it. Maybe Lambert-san could make it into something I could wear on my person.

A little further from the termite hill, we saw a gigantic 10-meter tall anteater....

General adjustment to make the text smoother.

After lunch, we continued with the dungeon challenge.

For a long time, we did not see any worthwhile prey as we sailed peacefully on [Mizumaru].

Suddenly, the peace was broken by a grassland fire that flared up in front of us.

“Ugh, what is that?!”

Fer squinted for a moment and said, “That’s Dora’s Pseudo-Dragon Breath,”

“What? What is he destroying?” I asked, feeling ...

Shortly afterwards, the giant fish landed by Grandpa Gon disappeared and was replaced by a Drop item.

I was so shocked by its appearance that I had forgotten to [Appraise] it.

Oh well.

I could still [Appraise] the items left behind.

Right now, we’re exploring the wetlands on the 1st floor (I guess?) of the dungeon on the [Mizumaru].

Gideon stumbled off Grandpa Gon on legs that were as wobbly as a newborn calf’s. He managed to take two steps forward before tottering and falling flat on his face, completely ruining his ruggedly handsome Hollywood actor presence.

Today’s plan was to tour the churches and orphanages of Ronkainen. For my party at least. The plan had already been settled before Fer’s sudden declaration to challenge the unexplored dungeon or whatever.

As for members of the [Ark], they would be busy preparing in their own way for a dungeon dive. Apparently, there are a lot of things to prepa...

For some reason, each and every one of the people from [Ark] ended up being some kind of weird dungeon otaku.

Somehow, people from [Ark] ended up coming with us to our rental mansion. In fact, everyone was having lots of fun together, talking about dungeon challenges, monsters and… stuff.

The next day, everyone was all excited to catch more Berserker Mud Crabs.
