2022-05-21 20:27:57 +0000 UTC View PostEither way, it's time for the exam.
"Well then, let me explain the details of the exam that's going to take place from now on!" One of the examiners began to explain.

――In short: Head to the dungeon, go to the boss room, defeat the boss, pick up the token placed further inside the dungeon beyond the boss room, and come back.
Further inside the boss room, eh...? At the place where you can find the Dungeon Core? Then I must be ext...

Next, the other girls from her party arrived.
"Do you remember having heard the party name 【Crimson Lilies Are a Girl's Oath】?" A girl that screamed swordswoman asked while glaring at us.
(T/N: Lily written as yuri, but not with the spelling used for the lesbian term. Still, it’s kind of a wordplay by the author I guess.)
"...Parties have names? I hear about this for the first time now."
Feeling astounded, I looked u...
2022-05-03 20:14:30 +0000 UTC View PostOn the day of the exam I went to the designated meeting place. For some reason, Sword accompanied me as well. He argued that he has to supervise me since I'll start some kind of trouble otherwise.
As we waited, four other parties showed up, and immediately got startled.
"...How did you come all the way here?"
"I walked, obviously. No, I suppose it'd be more accurate to say I ran."
When I answered while looking at Sword, he was yawning, completely disregardin...

Now then, leaving the kids aside...this is definitely going to turn into an uproar. It'd be great if they could send over someone from the guild to fix it, but if not, I won't have any other choice but to have Ryoku turn on his optical camouflage, and call Sword.
...Ah, the authorities showed up.
"What are you doing!?"
No, I'm not really doing anything, though.
"The bastard over there! I'll beat him black and blue! I won't get a closure ...
2022-05-02 10:50:05 +0000 UTC View PostI walked through town while teaching Ryoku all kinds of things. Since he asked me whether I wanted to get on in the middle of our little outing, I confirmed and climbed on top of him.
Of course, this is part of his basic functions.

When we were strolling around, kids started to chase after us, saying "How cool," "Wow!", "It's a monster!" and a lot more.
"This is a golem. His name is Ryoku. Ryoku, greet the boys and girls."
"Ni...

2022-05-01 20:12:19 +0000 UTC View PostWe arrived at the next town, Koda.
"Come to think of it, what are your plans goin' forward? You mentioned that you wanna to tour the world while sightseein', but there's the matter with the liquor, and leavin' for years on end would worry the folks back home."
"I'll go to the capital before the hero appears. Going to the most prosperous and flourishing place if you've got the chance is the pet theory of any sightseeing tour, don't you agree? Afterwards, I feel like head...

Fundamentally, I can do anything Ryoku can do. But, since I want him to learn, I let him do it.
"Mapping of the first floor finished."
Ryoku displays the map with a hologram.
"Gaah!?" Sword got totally startled.
"Good boy, well done." I stroked Ryoku.
"WeLl dOnE, iS, GeTtINg prAiSeD."
"Correct."
"Aww~ you make me all shy." Ryoku became bashful.
"Oi! Ryoku has..."
"Ah, sorry. This is part of his basic funct...
2022-04-30 21:08:43 +0000 UTC View Post"Ah." Sword suddenly raised his voice. "I think you should take the rank-up exam in the next town. That said, let's dive into a dungeon."
He mentioned out of the blue.
Okay, but I know that he's rather abrupt in his words and actions.
"In other words, you're saying a dungeon is conveniently nearby?"
"Yep. It think it's goin' to be a breeze for you, but it'll be your first time in a dungeon, right? Let's go check it out."
Dude, you're saying it with a m...

"Why the hell did you shape it like a huge friggin' spider!?"
"Spiders are useful."
"Useful!? They only coil you up in threads, inject poison into you, and eat you startin' with the head!!"
Oh, that's the kind of spiders they got in this world?
"Mmh, according to my otherworld knowledge, spiders and slimes are like human friends."
"Like hell! The only difference between 'em is one eats you after wrapping you up in threads, and the ...
2022-04-29 13:02:28 +0000 UTC View PostRoughly two years later.
I've been working hard on improving the mansion even further with Sword raising the necessary funds for the materials. In addition, I've been brewing liquor and teaching cooking. It reached the point that not just the cook, but even the maids learned from me how to cook. The servants have started to dabble in farm work (mostly in favor of produce related to liquor).
Basically, we all aimed for a house that would be as comfortable for living as p...
2022-04-29 12:56:21 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, it was decided that the cook, servants, and maids would come here after negotiating with Sword some conditions. They settled the whole affair by agreeing that those remaining behind would henceforth never make any of the things I had developed and stay silent about everything they might know about it.
I created a magic tool that could roughly determine locational information. Using that, a one-month trip was shortened down to three days. In any event, w...

I got suddenly promoted to D-Rank. It's said that the guild master can promote people to D-Rank on his own authorization.
Since you must take an exam to move up to C-Rank, I was told to keep my eyes open for the next chance, and take it then.
Given that I was in a party with Sword, I'd be able to take S-Rank work as well, but because it was rare for such work to come around, it'd apparently get moved to the rankless, pending cases handled directly b...
2022-04-28 19:44:13 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I entered the guild the next morning, I was welcomed very warmly.
"Please tell me the recipe for the liquor you gave me!"
"Indra! That food was a dream. Thanks a lot!"
The guild master begged me while I was being hugged by the receptionist lady.
"Ah man, you folks are so damn noisy. ――I've got somethin' to discuss with you as well."
We headed over to the guild master's room.
"Rent us one of the warehouses run by the guild. Or have the gu...

Seein' how my plan went awry, I've decided to teach her the basics of adventurin' myself. For me it'd be no biggie to stay in a high-rankin' inn, but since it'd be bad for her education, I gritted my teeth and chose a cheap inn.
It's an inn where folks 'round D-Rank would stay, so it's kinda iffy whether it's the right place for a G-Rank, but I don't wanna stay at an overly cheap place.
Anyway, apparently full of curiosity, she entered the inn c...
2022-04-26 09:12:15 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Indra and Sword left the guild, the guild master headed over to the reception, and passed Indra's present to the receptionist who had been on the receiving end of Indra's wariness.
"Look, it's a present from Indra for you. She says she doesn't hate you and she's just been cautious of you."
The receptionist had yet another crying fit after receiving the gift.
"Indraaaaa~~! You're too kind~~!"
"Stop crying. The adventurers are all backing away ...

After we had that conversation, Sword mentioned that I might be able to obtain the liquid if he acts as intermediary.
"You know that it's nothing I can hand over just like that, don't you!?"
Sword thrust his adventurer card into the face of the guild master.
"Hand it over."
"...... People like you...! Just 『Clock』! Come with me!"
Does he mean the Sorcery Liquid of a clock?
After following him, we entered a room through a ...
2022-04-24 12:39:08 +0000 UTC View PostT/N: Two things:
First, in earlier chapters I used sake. Sake can mean sake (the rice wine) and alcohol (the general term) in Japanese. I was led astray by her mentioning ingredients that would point towards rice wine, but the general term was actually meant here. So I switched to "alcoholic beverages/drinks" unless clarified which kind of drink it is.
Second: Before anyone asks how I split the chapters, I w...

"Just so you know, I was thinking of leaving the town...."
Pullin' Indra against her will, I headed back towards the town.
"You said you wanna sightsee, didn't you? That won't work if you hole up yourself out in the woods all the time."
"There's no way that I could sleep in places overrun by people of this world, is there?"
"Come on, your way too distrustful of others! ...Half of it is my fault though... But! I did what I did while t...
2022-04-23 12:23:41 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you going to gather today too?" The governmental official at the gate asked me.
Recently, I've become acquainted with him.
"No, I decided to leave this town."
"...I see. Well, that's how adventurers operate, I suppose. Though I think it's somewhat too early for you... Anyway, be careful out there. You've got an appearance like a lovely girl after all."
..."Like" a girl? What's with the "like" there!?
"...Oh well, whatever. So, do you have a direct...

At long last, that girl encountered monsters. Moreover, quite the ferocious ones. It was a huge wolf monster called Giant Wolf.
I thought that I'd immediately save her if she got into trouble, but...yep, instant death. I knew it.
"...If you don't attack me, I won't go out of my way to come for you, okay?" She told the monsters, makin' me want to retort, "What are you trying to show off for with monsters as your opponents!?"
Of course, the mons...
2022-04-21 18:26:29 +0000 UTC View PostT/N: Another very long one. Three times as long as usual. Splitting it into two parts, however.
{Sword}
The receptionist apologized to me.
"I'm sorry. I failed."
"She's got a tad of a quick temper, so no problem." I answered her with a sullen face.
"No, isn't it actually your fault considering the way you phrased it?" The guild master hissed.
"!! S-Shut it! Okay, okay, I'll admit that I messed up a bit!"<...

A mother who continued to swing her whip, rebuking and blaming her child for its father not coming back home, let alone not praising that child for making an effort to do as told while desiring praise.

"Yahooo!! We've finally reached a town!!"
One month has already passed since I left home. Going up and down the mountains like we were doing some kind of ascetic training out in the wild, we pushed our way through trackless paths, just to arrive at a human habitation at long last.
Yep, somehow it feels like living in the mountains might actually work, is what I had started to believe at some point! But that's not what I've been aiming for...
2022-04-19 11:43:04 +0000 UTC View PostT/N: Not sure if I can find time to translate another one of these over the coming two days. Easter days always mean family time. This one is a bit longer, so please make do with this until Tuesday at latest. :-)
All kinds of things happened throughout the following three years. It kinda sounds like a memorial poem that's recited during graduation, but really, it’s been all kinds of things.
I guess the worst was that man almost finding out about va...
