Thank you for your understanding, and wish me luck.

After scouting the bandits at the windmill, Yamato's group returned to Urd Village.
"Ok, now I’ll briefly explain the situation."
After gathering all the elderly people in an open space in the village, Yamato started talking. Since this was an emergency meeting taking place after dinner, children were not allowed to participate.<...

Episode 21: Tracking.
After receiving the report on the suspicious footprints, Yamato rushed to the scene.
"Yamato-niichan, it's here."
"Oh, certainly."
From the direction on which the patrolling boy pointed at, traces of people could very well be seen.
Behind some bushes, the plants were trampled and the soil was filled with what appe...

I don't want to be a mediocre translator.
What I mean by that is. In the fan translation community there are good and bad translators, bad translators might be bad due to skill in the language, or size of vocabulary. But those are different from mediocre translators. By my standards, a mediocre translator is one who does not strive to improve.
Translating isn’t easy, go ask all the “first time” translators out there and they will tell you it is harder than they b...
2018-05-14 23:38:21 +0000 UTC View PostI tried to make everything understandable for people not familiar with Japanese culture.
But in case you want to know a bit more, I'll leave here two videos, one about rice and one about Japanese paper from NHK. They are good and interesting, so if you want to know more, do check them out after the chapter.
The winter is finally over, new chapter starting on spring. Chapter 19 will be posted today too.
Episode 18: The Beginning of a New Season
Spring had finally come to Urd Village.
"It's spring at last, Yamato-sama."
"Yeah, the sun feels really warm."
"Yes, spring weather at last! "
While happily looking all around, Liscia was currently by my side.
We were in the process of checking th...
Probably no translation today, but tomorrow I'll post 2, maybe 3 chapters of High Spec Village here on patreon (18 is almost completed).
When I decided to pick this novel, I pretty much only gave it a quick read up to chapter 15.
I know how many people are turned down by dense protagonists, but I believe this is more like him thinking she's just a child and trying to be oblivious to her approaches knowlingly.
Anyway, I'll finish the novel translation since I personally like the sto...
2018-05-11 17:13:36 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was reading novels in syosetu yesterday, I stumbled upon one I found interesting and short.
So today I went again to search for it (Forgot the name) and stumbled upon another one, just 2 chapters long, and decided to translate it.
You can check it out on the blog:

《Introduction of the people so far》
Adding my own notes too, about things lost in translation.
【Yamato (山人)】
An ordinary young man who was transported from modern day Japan into another world.
Hobbies are mountain climbing and making tools. Not very good at socializing, and especially bad at dealing with children.
Due to his feelings of gratitude, he decided to do his best to help Urd Village which was a...
You ever wondered why there were very young children fighting against wild beasts in this novel? Well, here's your answer.
Episode 17【Idle Talk】: Night of the welcoming party - Village Chief side.
The 'welcoming party' had already ended.
"Yamato-dono, is this seat available? "
"Yeah, go ahead. Village chief."
Urd's village chief asked then sat down in the seat in front of me.
&...
Usually, Idle Talk chapters are just a re-telling of a story already heard, but from a different perspective, but I love the Idle Talk chapters in this novel, they add to the world.
The next one will be way better.
Episode 16【Idle Talk】: Night of the welcoming party - Blacksmith Gaton’s side.
The 'welcoming party' had reached its end.
"Is this spot empty? "
"Originally, the land has no true owner. Yo...
Episode 15: A Welcomed Protagonist.
While me and Liscia were talking, the children suddenly came and forcibly pulled us.
"Where are we going?"
"It’s a secret, Yamato-niichan! "
"Yeah, a secret! "
While coming down from the hill where the observation deck was located, I was guided back to the center of the village by the children.
The area was dimly lit, and the 'two moons' in the sky were illuminating the land...
This is a Tenboudai, or observation deck.(image attached at the end)
Episode 14: Liscia and Yamato
The work finally finished in the afternoon, and the sunset dyed Urd Village with its colors.
"I'm sure the meeting place with Liscia-san was ahead from here..."
I promised to meet with Liscia, the village chief granddaughter. She said she had something important to tell me, and wanted me to meet her after the sun ...
