Isekai GM 11. Slave Ship

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n6073cm/12/

Lately, I found myself translating while playing the opening song of Assassination Classroom Season 2 on loop.

Then I stop translating and cry in the corner…

I had cried over an anime but never over an opening song…

Here’s chapter 11. Now give me another hour to cry…

「Owowowowow…. Roxas… water…」
「Brother… Big Boss told me to keep you from drinking too much. Here’s the water」

The day after the banquet, the almost-dead-drunk Barbarossa lead the Pirates of the Round Table set sail to the north.
I took a bath after I finished drinking and eating, just to wash away all the dirt and tiredness.

After me, all my men took the bath and cleaned themselves except the still-hangover Barbarossa.

It seemed that there are no custom when entering the bath, they just wiped away their body with water.

Everyone felt great after coming out of the bath. After-bath drink… I wanted to drink some beer but I must refrain from doing so. But Barbarossa was gulping down the beer *GUBIGUBI* right now.
(TL: I’m still not comfortable translating sound effects)

Since the boat was swaying heavily, I kept the 『Room』 open. The bed was exclusive and no one was allowed to use it but me.

Next is the usual morning routine. Light exercise while enjoying the morning sun.
It’s possible to do acrobatic movements thanks to my raised physical ability.

I decided to make some breakfast since Roxas was busy tending Barbarossa.
Even so, I can’t make some fancy menu.

Ham and egg in white bread. And finish it with coffee. Then I grilled some fish and patch up some vegetable salad. It was a menu that I would made in my original world.

Luckily I have a certain coffee maker like those in convenient stores. I can drink delicious coffee everyday. Like a beer server, how the coffee was replenished is a mystery.

「Big Boss’ food are amazing!! This is the first time I eat a bread this soft!!」
「Big Boss! Seconds please!」

Since I gave you seconds, I’ll work you to the bone.
I made some sunny-side egg on toast as second servings.
Suddenly, I became their parent.

Nothing happened since morning to noon, and so the day passed in peace. There’s nothing at all. It’s nice to have relaxing time like this.

I enjoyed this relaxing cruise for several days.
I can’t see any war vessels nor ships so I practiced magic.
Paddle and Peddle taught me the fundamental of this world’s magic.

The concept is to connect to use mana inside the body to open the gate to『Spirit World』from this 『Material World』, then the energy is reconstructed and released as magic.
There are gates that are easy to open and there are gates that are difficult to open.

The recovery magic that I used is 『Light』 and few people are able to open it. It sounds difficult. That’s why people sort of worshiping them.

Meanwhile, the 『Gate of Darkness』 that demons uses are difficult to open as well.

The basic alements are fire, water, wind, and earth are obtained by talent and someone who can control them are mages.

Paddle had opened wind and water gates.
Peddle had opened wind and earth gates.
They had became excellent mages when Roxas recruited them.

The magic in the game didn’t use that kind of concept so the detail was not clear.
Meanwhile, the twins wanted to learn 『Wing』 but I don’t know how to teach them. The image is important. If you imagine yourself flying, will you fly? Should we try it?

I practiced magic by picturing the image in my free time. After finally succeeding making an image of a small spear, I tested it out by trying to hit a fish. It flew right into the bottom of the sea. This needs some MP.

As MP decreases, mental fatigue was piled up. So it’s better to save MP and avoid getting tired. It seemed that you will faint if you used up all your MP.

***

A vessel appeared on the map when practicing magic.

「A ship. It didn’t look like a war vessel, but where is it?」

The size of the ship mark made me understand the size to some extent, but it was neither a carabell nor a frigate.

「Let me climb up and look for a bit」

「Oh, okay」

I stopped the magic practice and let my MP recovered. Although the automatic recovery was fast, fatigue accumulates when concentrating. You can’t just recover your fatigue.

When a subordinate came down from the mast, he rushes to see us in panic.

「Big boss!! It’s a slave ship! And it has imperial emblem!」

Is it an empire’s slave ship? Should I destroy it? Depending on the number, slaves can be loaded on this ship. I can accommodate most of them with 『Room』.

「Barbarossa, come over here」

「What is it, Big Boss?」

「There’s an empire’s slave ship nearby. Prepare for battle」

「Osu! I understand!」

When Barbarossa went back to repeat the order, all of them worked really hard. They jumped from deck to deck and raised the speed to the slave ship.

The lazy ones don’t deserve to sit on the sofa.
They had become imprisoned by the sofa.
I’m also a prisoner so I can’t really complain.

After everyone finished their preparation, I issued a command as the Big Boss.

「Starboard!! Target the slave ship on the starboard! You guys, don’t hurt the slaves!」(TL: Starboard = front-right side of a ship. Google it)

「「「AYE AYE SIR!!!」」」

The 『Pirates of the Round Table』 turned to the slave ship and ran straight using wing magic. Everyone was armed. They had eaten their fill and the morale is good. Still, let’s not be careless.

***

「P-Pirates!!!」

A watchman on the slave ship yelled with a loud voice. In response, the crew showed up with their swords, bows, and staffs.

「Don’t let them get close! Ready!! Fire!!」

The slave ship crew put magical power in a cylinder and release stone cannons, but all of them are blocked by my 『Gravity Wall』 and sink into the ocean.

「We need to make them spit out where they got these slaves from! Try not to kill all of them! If it’s impossible then you can kill them! Forward!! Everyone, Forward!!!」

I jumped on the slave ship while stretching the 『Gravity Wall』 before the pirate ship hit it, meanwhile Paddle and Peddle created a wind barrier to reduce the impact on our ship.

I hopped on the slave ship and slash a crew and a wizard in the back with my 『Sonic Blade』.

Thanks to Seven Arthur’s special ability『Hold Back』 the bodies are not cut, they were alive but groaning in pain.

Following me, Barbarossa and Roxas jumped on the slave ship.
(TL: Need help on this one: 俺の後に続いてBarbarossaやRoxasも飛び乗り、暇な時に練習していたのか船員を感電させて身動きを封じたり、炎上させてそのまま海に落とし消火もさせたりしてた。)

There are about 10 slave ship crew on board, they should be knocked out in less than a minute.
Suddenly a muscular man showed up 「You are strong. However, I am the grea- 」 but he was knocked down after eating a 『Sonic Blade』. I wonder what he was trying to say…

After tying all the crew, we discovered 10 slaves in captivity.
Apparently, they were frightened knowing that we were pirates.

「Don’t be scared. Even though we are pirates, we are fighting the empire. For now, let’s get you guys out of here」

「You’ll let us out?」
「Can I go home? Can I meet papa and mama?」

「Yeah. We will take you as far as this ship can go. From there, we will ask the guards in town, is that OK?」

「Un! Thank you, Mr. Good Pirate!」

Good pirates, eh? How can a pirate be “good”?

「Big Boss, this is a magical cage. If someone try to force it open, it will cause pain to the slaves inside. We can’t pick the lock」

Paddle who was analyzing the cage told me.
Magical cage is it? Do you really need a key?
I took out the 『Thieves King’s Wire』 that I used when jail breaking and inserted it into the keyhole, the door clicked and opened.

When the jail door opened, the slave ship captain looked at me in disbelief.

「No fucking way… The key is in my shoe soles!」

He hid it in a troublesome place. Maa, if I didn’t have this 『Thieves King’s Wire』 I could interrogate him and search the whole ship for it. But because it’s troublesome, I just used my special wire and opened it without effort.

All the slaves are women and children.
There were no 『Subordinate Collar』 but all of them were tied with rope. Several people seem to be beaten… painfully.

『All Area Heal』

They were surprised when I used wide area recovery magic, especially the beautiful looking woman with golden fox tail. Maybe she’s a mage.
I was glad that there were no scar left, but I must not use this carelessly.

「Barbarossa, please bring them to the ship. Roxas, prepare the bath and some hot meal. Everyone else will help Barbarossa and Roxas. Someone interrogate the crew. Find out where they capture the slaves. You may do whatever you want with them」

Everyone nods and moves according to my instructions. I headed to the captain’s cabin and tried to find any material about the empire, but someone shows up on the map at the end of the ship.

***

I began to walk following the map but I ran into a wall. There’s a person. But it’s a dead end.
I looked back and stared at the captain, he panicked and turned his face away. Suspicious…

「Hey, what is in this thing?」

「N-nothing… It’s just a wall」

He looked even more suspicious…
I remembered a karate move and hit the wall with it. When my fist hit, the wall crumbled down with a loud noise.

Before me was a small room and a single prison.
However it was not a normal prison, chains with some pattern were wrapped around the iron grid and created some sort of seal.

I got into the small room and saw several dull silver lights shining on a body.
There was a woman hung on a cross.

Surprise surprise… Someone stole my translation…

I don’t know whether to feel grossed or honored, then I decided to get angry instead.

I had seen the site and I’m planning to try something on my next chapter upload.

Lastly, thank you for supporting me

No Fatigue 68. Edvice 2

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n6990ch/69/

New project here! I will translate this together with Kirisaki Shin from Shinku Translations. We will take turns translating this novel unless a truck hit me when I cross the road.

I had finished YTIF ch12 but I can’t post it yet because there’s so many things(?) going on and I’m planning to consult an acquaintance to compare the translation with the RAW.

「Next is Julia-kaasan. What are you going to do, Dad?」

「I will return to the dining room. As a host, I feel bad because there’s only 1 person from our family there」

Then Dad returned to the dining room and called Julia-kaasan in.

「ufufu. I’m looking forward for your advice. This is so fun」

After asking Mom who came and said such thing, I used【Appraisal】on her.

…Did she just became stronger?

「Etto… Did you leveled up?」

「Un. After hunting wyvern, obviously」

That explained her new title 《Wyvern Slayer》.
That’s why her level went up.

「And the adventurer title?」

「It’s because I went back as adventurer to find Edgar-kun」

「Your maximum MP is increased as well」

「I’m doing the secret MP expansion technique that Edgar-kun taught me every night」

When someone have magic related nickname or blessing from a God used up all their MP, they will faint and their maximum MP increased by 1 point.

「What about 【Uninscribed Invocation】?」

「I learned it by mimicking Edgar-kun」

I reached my general skill 【Simultaneous Invocation】counter stop bonus by memorizing them but Mom somehow memorized them directly.

「There is 【Sense Presence】」

「I got it when I tried to find signs of Yatagarasu.
It was a quite desperate attempt」

I wonder what is the counter stop bonus for 【Keen Hearing】.
Elemia got 【Sense Presence】 without 【Keen Hearing】, it seems that Mom can do it as well.
As she said herself, she was desperately looking for me.

I thought about recommending her 【Sense Presence】 and 【Uninscribed Invocation】 but she got it herself.

「What is mom’s aptitude? Iya, I know you are the best with fire element」

「Fire obviously, but I seem to have a high aptitude for light magic」
On the other hand, no aptitude in darkness.
If I have to say, 【Dark Magic】is way more useful than 【Light Magic】.

Currently, 【Light Magic】 can only be used as light source.
But when you are the only one who have that kind of skill, it suddenly became important.
On the other hand, like how Elemia did in firedrake nest, 【Dark Magic】 can be used as a cloak to hide or as a smokescreen.
Water, wind, and light magic are still usable… On the other hand 【Earth Magic】 is only considered to dig a hole.

As a result from hearing my mother on her aptitude other than magic, I can conclude.

S: Fire, Light, Mana Manipulation , Mana Perception
A: Wind, Close Combat (dagger, martial arts, etc)
B: Earth, Bow, Perception
C: Water, Reconnaissance, Sword, Spear
Z: Dark

Right… Now I understand why people called Julia-kaasan a genius.

「Mom, how do you fare in close combat?」

「Not that good. Even if I have the aptitude, my magic teacher told me to stay focused on magic」

「What about 【Dagger Techniques】 that you just learnt?」

「This time I learned it from Moria to fight 〈Yatagarasu〉.
Since I just acquire it I didn’t plan to use it, but I thought it might be necessary in some cases」

Julia-kaasan truly had her own hardship.

「It seems that I have aptitude for pole and claw weapons but there are few people who use it」

I imagined my mother swinging a staff and ripping her foes with claws… yeah right.

「I don’t like swords and spears, they are too delicate for me to handle.
I can use perception system to some extent but not too much.
I was taught 【Stealth Step】by Moria but in the end I can’t remember it at all」

「… In short, you don’t like sneaking, prefer face the enemy directly with gargantuan magic, and use simple weapons to fight when you can’t use magic」

Julia-kaasan muscle-brain way of life suddenly came up.

「So, any advice?」

Oh right…

「Etto, it seems that you already learned【Uninscribed Invocation】 and 【Sense Presence】 on your own.
Since you have the aptitude, learning【Light Magic】would be nice」

「Ee〜 but people make fun of 【Light Magic】and called it 【Lamp Magic】…」

「Well then, look at this.
For example, ∩ Light・∀ Reflect ー《Mirage》」

I showed her light warping spell that Gazaine used.

「Wa, Edgar」

My mother surprised looking at the air 1 step beside me.
My mirror image should be visible at that position by light refraction.

「Human eyes capture information using surrounding light, so if you refract light, you can do something like this. It uses the same principle as this mirage.
Mom told me that you’re not good with reconnaissance but can you do this?」

「I see. So you can use【Light Magic】like this.」

「I think the same mindset can be applied to make offensive magic as well
∩_Light・ル Conset ー《Laser》」

I took a piece of cloth from my pocket and converge light to make a hole in it.
I made a mistake and waved my hand.

「Waa waa, how to do this?」

「I gathered light to create heat. You can do the same thing by collecting sunlight with a lens」

「…. What is renzu?」

Are? It seems that this world didn’t have lens.
Are there any loop or glasses?
I need to record this information in my heart.

「Since gathering light will create heat, I think it’s compatible with 【Fire Magic】.
In fact, when I saw the Fire Drake’s Fire breath, I can see fire spirits and light spirits working together to create a complex compound magic.
Since Mom have high aptitude for fire and light magic, I think she can combine them and create a photothermal wave.
Or rather, would you like to develop it with me?」

「Un! It sounds interesting!」

Julia-kaasan smiled in high spirit.

「Next I want you to learn 【Spirit Magic】 together with Dad and I want you to learn 【Enhancement Magic】 to increase Dad’s attack power」

「【Spirit Magic】 and 【Enhancement Magic】
Both are very rare skills!」

「【Spirit Magic】 will be hard, but I think 【Addition Magic】 should be manageable.
Because I can teach Mom by manipulating mana, I think Mom can get it immediately」

Eventually, Melby and I would like to develop something for the barrier but we haven’t seen any development prospect yet.

「This will be fun~」

I asked my mother who smiled happily to call my brother Chester.

「Yo, Edgarー I’ll be counting on you」

I used 【Appraisal】on my brother Chester without hesitation.

《Appraisal》
Chester Chrebl (Second Son of Chrebl Siblings | Adventurer (B Rank) | Second Arrow | Harpy Killer)

Chester-niisan’s status didn’t seem to change much since the last time I used 【Appraisal】on him.

「And your aptitude is?」

「Aptitude? Obviously I’m good with bow, but since I’m an elf it seems that my aptitude for mana perception and perception system are quite high」

From what I hear from him I can conclude the following

S: Bow, Spirit, Perception, Mana Perception
A: Wind, Reconnaissance, Water, Mana Manipulation, Throwing
B: Earth, Light
C: Fire, Spear, Sword, Martial Arts
Z: Dark

I think elves are too blessed.
Iya, other than 【Fire Magic】and 【Martial Arts】, you can’t say that he’s lacking in offensive power.

About magic, I repeated the same thing I told Mom and Dad that other magic element can be used offensively.

「That’s good news. Until now 【Wind Magic】 are used only to strengthen bows.」

Chester-niisan said so while showing his white teeth.
Looking at his elven ikemen act, I asked him something that piqued my interest.

「Isn’t crossbow included in bow category?
But the skills are divided」

「Aa, It’s only in my case. Rather than 『throwing』, I think『aiming』would be more appropriate」

「…. Then I guess you can use guns as well」

「I have never seen a gun before, but it’s probably an ancient shooting artifact, right?
If it’s shooting, I can use it」

「Since niisan have good eyesight and use reconnaissance skill, I think you can be a sniper」

「Sunaipa?」

「A sharpshooter. In my original world, a sniper uses a gun and shoot the enemy from far away」

「…Edgar’s world is a very dangerous world, isn’t it?」

「If I somehow found something like a rifle, I will give it to you」
Maa, the problem is not the gun itself but gathering the ammunition.

「I’m not sure but I think guns are ancient relics that will deteriorate over the years. I’ve heard it’s treated as an overcomplicated trash」

「Was it sulfur, nitrite, and charcoal? I’m not familiar with it so we have to experiment and do a lot of work.
…Ah that’s right. If you’re good at throwing, I’ll give you this」

I took out a fragment of the barrier from leather pouch hung on my waist and hand it to Chester-niisan.

「… What is this?」

「I don’t really know what it is but it’s amazingly sharp.
It’s only useful as throwing weapons in emergency. The corresponding skill is 【Shuriken Techniques】 so I think you should master it if you have some spare time. You also need some aptitude in throwing skills」

「Thanks. There are things that I can’t hit like approaching enemy」

「It’s quite compatible with reconnaissance skills, especially with 【Stealth Step】 and 【Sneak】」

「I see. I didn’t use them much since I was always in a party.
Afterall, bow user doesn’t act much alone」

「Is that so?」

「Certainly. If there’s no one to protect you, your enemy can shrink the distant instantly.
There are so many demons that can’t be taken down by bow alone」

I think it can’t be helped.

「As expected, there’s no other way but increase the bow’s firepower」

「That would be great, but how can I do that?
Using a strong bow that needs a lot of physical strength?」

「I think you can use arrows with【Enhanced Magic】.
I will teach you next time」

I’m planning to teach Chester-niisan 【Magic】 and 【Enhancement Magic】 in the future.

「And I want you to learn 【Spirit Magic】 together with Mom and Dad.
An elf may be able to master it earlier than 2 humans.
Next time, I will hold a course about 【Spirit Magic】 can you adjust your schedule to attend?」

「【Spirit Magic】? It’s a secret of an elf, isn’t it? I never thought that Ed can use it」

After showing 《Mirage》 using 【Light Magic】 and show him that other magic element can be used offensively, I conclude the interview with Chester-niisan.

Edvice = Advice

Talking about a bad pun here…

YTIF 11. Conversations that Don’t Advance are Unpleasant

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2074cz/11/

I fucked up.
I fucked up real bad.

Let me finish YTIF then I’ll start translating No Fatigue. I need something to relieve my sadness…

I was following the jade clothed soldier along an unknown hallway. The idea of walking through an unknown place doesn’t scare me at all. It didn’t change the fact that I don’t know anything anyway.
How should I call this Lord? Tenkan? If you write the letter, is it written as『Moon Priest』? Was it because they patrol when the moon is up? (TL: I’m not sure about this. 字を当てるなら、月の天の官、かな？夜番だから月天なのか。)

Iya, they must be dressed like that because they’re on night duty. Then, are Moon Priests specialized in night duty?

The man stopped in front of a door. It’s a huge black door as big as the one in Tenshi’s room.

Both jade clothed soldiers on each side of the door looked a bit surprised when they saw me.

Somehow their thin reaction is within the normal range. It seemed that people in this world can have stress too. I felt a bit relieved.

「Please come in…」

A man opened a door without showing expression.

「…. If you wearing those clothes, are you part of the night watch?」

I tilted my head a little as I asked him.

「After going such a long way to visit this place. You should meet our Lord for more satisfying answer. Please not worry about it.」

「Hmph, I will be the judge for that.」

The man could only give a bitter smile when I cut him down.

Mm?
His reaction…
It’s… normal…
It’s a normal adult reaction.

That’s it. Coming here is maybe a good idea.  I wanted to hear the story from people who has normal reactions. (TL: taking some liberty here. The raw is… weird…)

I followed him through the black door.
Somehow I became a bit anxious. Whether he spoke the truth or not, unpleasant thoughts rose to my head.

They said that I fit perfectly as the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn.
It didn’t make any sense.
What’s does it even mean?
I never understood why they called me to this world.

All of them will be answered when I meet this Lord.

For now, I can only move forward.

Maybe these people can help with my imprisonment here.

It’s alright… Go for it..

「I’m here」 (TL: tsukimashita yo!)

「….e? ah?」

A man just popped up and called me out from nowhere. I was so confused that I couldnt’ form a proper response.

「douzo」

The man extended his arm towards me. I walked without thinking much. Suddenly I noticed something resembling a jail on the other side of the room.

E?
It’s a prison?
Nope!

I resist the urge to do a full power dash after I noticed that there was a humanoid figure in confinement.

「ーA guest? How unusual…」

The figure in prison have brilliant jade colored hair like the clothes worn by the night watch. A woman with pale yet inhumanly beautiful face whispers in a bell like tone.

「u, UOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!」
(TL: Don’t ask me! Here’s the raw: 「ぅ、ぉええええええ！！」)

What the hell was that?! I can almost taste the tempura that I just ate!
Her face looked so beautiful. Seriously, it’s impossible! nowaynowaynoway! Ugh… I felt sick. My stomach can’t hold it.

「Ugh… It was real… The impossible beauty is real」

Even though I almost passed out, the man guiding me seemed happy and unable to hold his laughter. Don’t laugh! I’m suffering here.

「Dame, mou. Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is really interesting!」

Want me to vomit all over your face?

Somehow my nausea won and I vomited. Maids came when I was almost at my limit and offer me some drink to wash my mouth quickly.
I’m bad when looking at beautiful women but not to the extend that I would vomit on the spot.
I sit on a chair facing the woman in black prison.

「Are you alright?」

「Haa… maa. I’m sorry. I made a mess」

「I don’t mind it. I was half expecting it.」

Her tone made it sound like it’s her fault. In my defense, that beautiful CG face is so unreal. For now, I’ll try to communicate.
I came here thinking that they are better than those red clothed people but these guys are making fun of people too. I wonder how many people are actually trying.

「So, who are you?」

I didn’t come here for a chit chat so I quickly go into the main subject.
The bishoujo smiled. What? You think it’s funny? Say something!

「So straightforward. But I don’t dislike it」

「Is that so? But I can’t say the same about you」

「Antsy are we? Because I can grant your wishes?」

「Then talk quickly. Who are you?」

She dodged all my remark like a drunkard. The girl giggled before finally answered my question.

「My name is Touran. I failed to become the Tenshi」

……..
etto…
Wait a second.
WAIT a second….

Failed?

I want to thank someone who donated to me and his donation really saved me from starvation (literally). I can’t disclose full name because it will break some law about privacy and stuff.

anyway…

This chapter is brought to you by Stephen M.

Thank you very much for the donation and please support me in the future!
