The tension of the showdown keeps rising.
Sensei and the Spirit King are glaring daggers at Kaito, our advocate of chantless magic, from right across the way.
And yet Kaito, who’s up against two of the world’s biggest threats—a Lifeless King and the Spirit King who governs the workings of this world—doesn’t even flinch. Seriously, what’s up with him?
Is he, like, super gutsy or just straight-up protagonist material?
If I were in his shoes,...
We arrived here based on the information the Demon King kindly provided us.
This is a residential district tucked into one corner of the Demon Capital.
Among the hundreds of nearly identical buildings stands one with a tremendous crowd gathered around it.
“…Is this the place...?!”
We make it all the way to the gate, and I look up at its impressive archway.
Is this the magic cram school the Demon King mentioned?
For chantl...
We finally figured out who the world's enemy is.
It would be none other than… Chantless Magic!!!
Turns out, that forbidden spell is guilty of insulting and angering the spirits.
It’s basically taboo magic.
If we let chantless magic keep running rampant, things between humanity and the spirits will only get worse.
As a human who takes some responsibility for this world, I can’t just stand by. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to so...
2025-05-10 05:56:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe Spirit King has been defeated!
He’s supposed to be the one who directly manages this world’s entire operation, and yet we overpowered him by brute force.
It really drives home just how wild things get around my farm.
“Trying to snuff out Master and the kids’ future is unbelievably rude and disrespectful!”
So says Veil, the victor in this brawl, punctuating the statement with a snort.
She’s scary, but if she’s on your side, there’s no one more depe...
This… is the Spirit King…?!
A towering, colossal figure worthy of such an overblown title.
I have no idea whether that’s his true form or just a stand-in, but either way, he exudes an overwhelming presence that dwarfs us humans.
His gazes feels impossibly heavy, an oppressive weight.
Cold, and definitely not friendly.
“Well, now that the headliner’s here, our work is done! Time to get back to looking after the beans!”
“Best of luck, Master.”
Here’s the story so far:
After hearing the earth spirits’ ominous mutterings, our farm caught wind that the world might be in serious danger.
There’s no way we’re letting our world get wrecked now that things have finally been running smoothly, so after some investigation, we concluded we needed to meet the biggest shot among spirits… the Spirit King.
But meeting the Spirit King isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
In fact, it’s tougher than meeting a god.
Right before our eyes appears something that at first glance is shaped like a person... but anyone can tell right away this is no ordinary human.
It’s about the size of a medium-sized dog, with a skinny, lanky body. Its long hair is a blazing crimson flickering constantly, like it’s made of real flames.
Its face is wrinkled, kind of reminiscent of a gentle grandpa, but at the same time there’s something like a meek monkey in its features.
“Hello, I am the fire spirit...
2025-05-02 16:56:29 +0000 UTC View PostThus, we ended up taking on this massive crisis threatening the world.
We decided to seek out the Spirit King, supposedly the big villain behind all of this.
Spirits are beings that directly influence this world’s workings.
And at the head of all those spirits is the Spirit King.
Apparently, that transcendent being is somewhere in this world.
But where exactly are they?
How do we go about requesting an audience with them?
We have to start by figuring ou...
2025-04-30 20:22:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s getting a bit chilly these days.
Looks like autumn in this other world is about to end.
This past year has been wild, especially with all the stuff going on in the Farm Kingdom, and everything felt more hectic than usual. Still, I never neglected what needed to be done.
We finished the harvest at our farm without any issues, so I’m planning to share some of our stored crops with the pioneers who are living on-site in the Farm Kingdom.
Starting next year, I plan on...
And so, a few days after that trend started catching on at my farm...
An unusual guest showed up.
A deity.
And not just any deity—a goddess.
The Mother Earth Goddess Demetersephone had been hastily summoned by Sensei and descended upon our farm.
“...”
Um...?
But even after being summoned, Demetersephone doesn’t say a word. The air around her is brimming with a strange, tense energy.
That tension alone is enough to make the whole place feel l...

It seems my kids didn’t like the chocolate mint ice cream I put all my heart into making!
Why?!
Did I not mix the ice cream well enough to make sure the ingredients were evenly distributed?!
"Uh, isn’t that kind of beside the point?"
Here comes my wife, Platy, with her know-it-all attitude.
Have you finished tending to your herb garden?

2025-04-23 20:47:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s me again.
Things have been non-stop with the whole Farm Kingdom stuff lately, keeping me busy, but that’s not all I’ve been doing.
I’m still putting a lot of effort into this year’s crops back at the farm, and I’m doing my best every day as a father, too.
My oldest son, Junior, and my second son, Norito, are both at the age where they’re growing rapidly.
They need to eat a ton and grow big.
And that means I can’t slack off on snacks either.
I am the Butler Lifeless King.
I proudly serve as the foremost subordinate to Lord Alexander, the mighty dragon.
The reason I cast aside my humanity and became a being that will never die is all for Lord Alexander’s sake.
It was too difficult to serve him in a human form, so I chose to live eternally, as I could only endure serving the eternal one in such a way.
And thus, after using forbidden arts, I began my service to Lord Alexander, and several centuries have passed...

“She’s probably been worked up by the former Mermaid Queen Mahi. She’s good at revving people up, as always.”
No matter what anyone says, Imma stand by Sis Puffer till the bitter end!
Don’t underestimate the bonds of travel buddies!

Ughhhh, so lazy!!!
I gotta help with the tea party?! Why do I gotta do that lazy stuff? What a pain in the butt!

Looking back at the recent trade fair, there were plenty of things that made me feel it was all worth it, but there's one highlight that stands out.
It was Alexander's demo dungeon construction.
To be precise, it's a trial version of his main dungeon, the Mountain of the Sacred White Maiden.
Alexander’s really putting in the work to attract as many adventurers as possible to his place.
But, honestly...

Originally, dragons were created as enforcers of divine punishment.
When the gods grew arrogant and sought to destroy and reshape the world at their whim, dragons appeared as the final stopgap.
As a counterforce to arrogant gods, the Mother Goddess of All, Gaia, created dragons as the ultimate weapon of violence.
I, Typhon, am one of the most powerful of these dragons.

Sure, there were the memories and the sense of accomplishment from finishing a major project… that’s definitely part of it.
But from the beginning, this whole plan also had a bit of a political angle in mind.
I think we successfully drove home our Farm Kingdom's presence, giving off the vibe of a future trade hub.
But besides all that, there’s something else, something more visibly tangible ...

And boy, have things taken a strange turn.
I was supposed to be showing Miss Kimeri, governor of a Demon Kingdom city, around the trade fair, but the atmosphere is…awkward, to say the least.
She’s basically my counterpart in another country, so on the surface, we’ve got to be polite.
But in reality, our interests might clash at any moment, meaning we can’t show our true intentions. We’re constantly feelin...
I am Kimeri, proud governor of the Demon Kingdom.
And here I am, somehow ending up touring the trade fair with a human male.
It’s not like I asked for this arrangement, but it’s not as if there’s nothing in it for me, either.
He, after all, governs the Human Kingdom’s city closest to this new land of settlers.
It’s ssentially the “human version” of my own city, Rondmelt.
He could turn out to be a powerful rival, so there’s no harm in gathering intel...

It may sound like a big-shot's name, but I’m really nothing more than a common thug.
No fancy education, no highborn family.
By rights, I should’ve spent my whole life scraping by in some back alley, never amounting to much.
But my life took a sudden turn when the war ended.
That was one massive upheaval for the Human Kingdom.
Word spread that the Demon King's Army would swarm in any day now and slaughter everyone—man, woman, old folks,...
Continuing on: It’s me, Kimeri, the female governor from the Demon Kingdom.
I’m currently checking out the trade fair in the settlers’ new country.
Even before I stepped in, I was curious about what it’d be like, but now that I’m actually seeing it, I’m overwhelmed all over again.
“This is what they call a trade fair…?!”
First of all, the scale.
It’s thirteen times bigger than I imagined.
Just trying to walk from one end to the other takes age...
My name is Kimeri.
I’m the female governor entrusted with running the Demon Kingdom’s city of Rondmelt.
In our system, the governor oversees the city. A representative chosen by the city council is officially appointed by the feudal lord, and that’s how one assumes the position.
I followed that process myself. It’s already been five years since I became governor.
I was born in this city, raised lovingly by my parents, and graduated school with top marks.

All three rounds of the contest have concluded.
So, does that mean all the chaos that started with Alexander’s sudden appearance is finally settling down?
I’d thought things had calmed down nicely after the trade fair was a success, only for this unexpected “overtime match” to pop up out of nowhere.
From the looks of it, the guests who came to the fair had a blast at the after-party.
It’s got the same sort of vibe as when a school festival wraps up.
