Vol. 2 Chapter 4 – Part 2(WN)
After breakfast, Schnee and Tiera were in charge of cleaning up and Shin headed toward the blacksmith’s workshop in the inner part of Tsuki no Hokora. Yuzuha, who was probably curious about it, came along with Shin.
βWhat is in there?β
βItβs my warehouse and workshop, and the warehouse is a little special. It has considerable more capacity than it looks.β
The storehouse of Tsuki no Hokora was not as big as a guild house, but quite a lot of items were stored inside. Since it was Shinβs personal warehouse, its contents were inclined to be weapons and armor.
They were making a little detour in response to Yuzuhaβs comment, βI want to see itβ. The appearance of the warehouse was a normal door with a hanging lock. However, it was so tough that even Shinβs strongest attack in the game era couldnβt break it. It was said that nothing could break it physically.
βJust pour a little magic power, and done.β
When Shin poured magic power into the lock, a light βclickβ sound was made, and the lock came off. This type of lock was opened by using magic power recognition. The door wouldnβt open no matter how much someone fiddled with the fake keyhole.
He pushed open the door and they entered inside. There, it was overflowing with lines of armor and weapons side by side.
There were swords, katanas, spears, bows, daggers, large hammers, halberds, flails and all kinds of weapons displayed. In a different location, there were full body armors for warriors, gauntlets that were thought to be custom-made, and shields alongside it all. Naturally, everything was valuable, starting from γUniqueγ grade to γLegendγ grade, γMythologyγ grade and finally, γAncientγ grade.
A person would feel an enormous amount of pressure the moment they entered the room, even if the person was not sensitive to magic power. Although the quantity and the quality of each item was different, the overwhelming magic power given off was similar to the feeling of abnormal tepid water according to a dweller of this world.
If even one of them was put up for sale, many countries would have piles of their weapons lose their value when compared to its prestige. A warehouse that had a large quantity of these kinds of things for sale already felt like a βwarehouse clearance saleβ.
βAmazing! But, somehow I feel hot~β
βIt is because this place is filled with magic power. You better not enter if you are not strong-minded.β
βYuzuha is okay for this much!β
The Element Tail was indeed one of the strongest species even if it was young.
Rather than being overwhelmed by the magic power pressure emitted from the arms, Yuzuha was looking curiously around the warehouse. Even though its tail fur was fully bristled up, there are some things that are better left unsaid.
βItβs fine if you only look at it, but donβt touch without permission, okay? There are some cursed arms here.β
βIs it dangerous?β
βAh, I just donβt want you to get hurt. There is a seal function attached to the containers, but there are several of them that you might able to break.β
βMuu, Yuzuha donβt do things like that.β
While apologizing to Yuzuha, who puffed its cheeks, they headed off to the blacksmith’s workshop. Even here, it was in a perfect state without change, waiting for its master to return.
βThereβs no problem at all. It seems like I can use it right away.β
βTo do what?β
βIβm making swords and armor here. But before doing it today, I have to ask you something, Yuzuha.β
βWant to ask me something?β
βThere is a lot I want to ask. Well, lets return to the living room for now. After that, we will talk. As for forging a sword, thatβs for later.β
βThen letβs go quickly. I want to see Shin forge a sword!β
They returned to the living room and Yuzuha had sparkling eyes with anticipation. Even though Shin didnβt know what Yuzuha was looking forward to so much, he lightly checked the tools and followed after Yuzuha. As for Schnee and Tiera, who were taking care of the cleaning after the breakfast, it should be done soon.
When he returned to the living room, the three of them already surrounded the table. He sat down on his seat while smiling wryly at Yuzuha, who urged him on with βquickly! quickly!β.
βWhat did Shin want to ask?β
βFirst of all, why were you in such a weakened state in that Shinto shrine. And, did a large amount of people disappear around 500 years ago? If you know something about it, then please tell me.β
When Shinβs question was heard, Yuzuha closed its eyes and folded its arms like it was thinking about something. After several seconds like that, Yuzuha began to talk.
βWell, err… When Yuzuha was there, I was having the most painful experience from the inside. It was very painful, so much that I collapsed.β(T/N: Yuzuha sometimes refer itself as βYuzuhaβ when talking.)
βIs that so? Did you understand the drawing on that floor?β
βNo~, I didnβt know it.β
Shin thought it was some sort of relief feature that delayed the condition, but Yuzuha didnβt seem to remember it.
βI understand. How about the people who had disappeared?β
βI donβt know. People didnβt come very much.β
βNow that I think about it, there was some kind of erected barrier that made people stay away from there.β
Shin remembered that a barrier, around the Shinto shrine, affecting oneβs mind had been erected. A person might not come near it because of that.
βEventually, what was Yuzuha doing in such place?β
βUhm, I was basking under the sun, when suddenly the ground went βbamβ, the wind blew βbyu byuβ and the mountain went βclangβ. Yuzuha was surprised and jumped. After that, I tried my best so that the ground would not be wrecked apart.β
β…In other words, the natural disaster occurred, and you tried to suppress it?β
βIt is likely so, I have no doubt if it is Yuzuha.β
βEh, is that true?β
When Schnee chimed in with an agreeable response, Tiera was amazed and had wide eyes.
Though Shin didnβt know what kind of technique Yuzuha used, the Element Tail was a monster that corresponded to all attributes. The possibilities of interfering with the natural disaster by some special method was high.
βA lot of power was used while I kept at it, then I took a rest in the Shinto shrine. Because my power could not be held in my body then, I thought I was gonna die soon when Shin came.β
βIt was just at the last minute when I came, huh?β
βWhen the unpleasant wind blew, I was scared.β
When he heard about unpleasant wind, Shin was reminded of the miasma. Perhaps both of the γCurse β’ β ©γ and the γPoison β’ β ©γ at that time, were caused by the miasma. A number of monsters and levels were increased in an area with a lot of miasma during the game. Moreover, to a player, it was a troublesome way to be given an abnormality state responding to status at a regular intervals. Apart from the monsters, they had to drink potions regularly because of the abnormality state, although it didnβt affect high-ranked players too much.
βIt was thanks to Millie that Yuzuha was saved. I wouldnβt have gone there if not for Millieβs advice.β
βI will give thanks when I meet Mi-chan again.β
βThatβs right, letβs take some souvenirs.β
Because of the forecast ability, Shin couldnβt say it clearly. Whether Yuzuha understood it or not, it matched with Shinβs way of talking.
βHey, who is Millie?β
Tiera looked puzzled.
βSheβs a child who lives in the orphanage of the kingdom. I happened to meet her by chance. If you know Wilhelm, think of the orphanage he is protecting and you will understand.β
βAh! that guy.β
βYou know Wilhelm?β
βHe comes over once a while to meet master. But I rarely meet him. However, I thought it was strange that he bought sweets while he was here on occasion. I wonder if he was going to the orphanage, if so, it is understandable.β
Wilhelm seemed to buy the cakes which Tiera made.
βIt is because the cakes that Tiera makes are delicious, right?β
βNo, it is because itβs cheap. Masterβs cake are more delicious. Even the kingβs messenger has come to purchase it. Because I learned mine in an elfβs village, it is only fine.β
They praised each other, although both of them seemed delicious.
βWhen you said learned it in an elfβs village, which one was it?β
βUhm, itβs a baked confectionery called Cayfal, have you heard of it?β
βNo, I have never heard of it.β
In the first place, he didnβt remember any kind of setting called skillful bakery in any elfβs village. Because cooking was not his specialty, there were many dishes which he couldnβt cook or make, even if he had the recipe.
βThat Cayfal is like a financier*, huh? It will be nice to distribute it to children because the cake is as big as a mouthful.β (T/N: Financier is a small French cake)
βThough I displayed it on a whim, one or two sale items have to compete at the present time. Because I originally lived in the forest, my strong point is making cake using honey.β
βIs that so? But wait, since Tsuki no Hokora is not a store that mainly sells foodstuff, are there any other sales?β
Shin looked at Schnee while asking that.
βBecause Shin was absent, there are a few items for sale. I am an amateur with smithery, and for replenishing the goods, only Shin can open the storehouse where the arms were kept.β
Therefore, Schnee had to replenish unskilled stock from somewhere, and it seemed difficult to replenish goods because of competition over that right. It was only natural that if the maker went missing, there would be a shortage of inventory.
βHow should I say it…Iβm sorry. Schnee is doing a good job to keep the store open.β
βEven if it is open, there arenβt many things that are able to be put up for sale.β
β…Thatβs true. Even if itβs open, it wonβt solve anything.β
During the game era, the store was barely continuing in business. It was no wonder.
βWhen I have time, I will replenish the stock with the ones I have saved.β
βRoger that. By the way, the talks have derailed from the subject. Yuzuha, can we continue?β
βYup. But, because I was in the Shinto shrine the whole time, I donβt know more than you already know.β
The interference to the natural disaster, it seemed to be an impossible task, even to an Element Tail. Although it said that it didnβt know about the worldβs situation, because it made a great effort to decrease the damage of the natural phenomenon since the Dusk of the Majesty, thereβs no reason to blame it.
βI see, tell me when you recall something, just in case.β
βYes, I understand~ Umm, Tiera-onee-chan, that Cayfal just now, is it done yet?β
When the conversation settled down, Yuzuha asked about the pastry matter to Tiera. Was it interested in it that much? Even the things about the smithy was forgotten. As Yuzuha approached Tiera, its tail shook with flutters.
Such an appearance also suited its age.
βExcuse me, but there is one more thing. I have to talk to Shin.β
β…What?β
Though Schnee was in a serious mood; it was different from a while ago, as she put a stop to the air trying to clear.
She appeared to have been looking for the right time to begin the talk.
βActually, there is a person I would like you to meet. I understand that you may have various things to investigate, but please make this the first priority this time.β
βThen, who is this person you want me to meet?β
Shin felt like it was a rush from Schneeβs tone. It was like something was running out of time, such a feeling of impatience.
He corrected his sitting posture, and waited for Schneeβs words.
βI didnβt think it was a good idea to meet again immediately so I didnβt talk about it yesterday, but the person I want you to meet is Girard.β
βGirard huh?…No, wait, is it really Girard?β
Girard was the no. 3 support character of Shin. A High Beast. But, it was more than 500 years since the Dusk of the Majesty, it should be impossible to meet Girard.
β…Is he still alive?β
Although he was called a High Beast, he didnβt have a long lifespan. Humans, Beasts, Dwarfs were said to live a long life if they lived for 100 years.
In contrast to these 3 races that have short lives, such races like Elves, Pixies, Dragnils and Lords were said to be a long-lived species.
Even though High Beasts and High Dwarfs were a superior race, still, it should be 150 years at most.
Although a beastβs length of life depends on the animal which became the model, Girardβs model was a relatively orthodox wolf among the choices. It wasn’t a model for long living especially.
Certainly, he heard the thing about Girard becoming a king. However, because that was a fairly old story, Shin never thought that Girard was still alive.
βYes. But…I think he has a few days left and it will not be that much longer anymore.β
Schnee personally didnβt know why Girard was still alive until today.
But she was certain about one thing.
βHe too, was waiting for Shin.β
As Schnee was, Girard also was waiting for Shin.
βHe himself doesnβt know how he could live this long. There is likely some meaning, since he is alive.β
He didnβt seem to feel too much fear from the approaching death either since his body should already be dead.
βActually, even if thereβs no Girard, the alliance can continue functioning. The current beast king is the eighth generation, that not only has military power, but he also has the ability as a ruler.β
Falnido Beast Alliance was formed by bundling up every beastman tribe. It was built by Girard during the confusion that struck the world.
And then, as for the first beast king, it was Shinβs support character, a no. 3 of High Beast origin.
Girard Estaria.
The appearance that Shin remembered, when he was in a normal human form, was a man of about 40, characterized with an unkempt beard and brown hair that was trimmed short. Handsome men and beautiful women would be wretched, because this appearance of a wild middle-aged man was good. When Girard was fully armed, the charisma that was felt around him could be called a veteran warrior, Shin took pride at that time for not making a wrong choice.
When in combat, Girard went into werewolf mode, a figure that swooped down upon his prey, exactly like a hunter.
He specialized in close ranged combat and paired up with the no. 4 support character, Shibaid, a High Dragnil, to serve as an advance guard party. Although his offensive power from magic skills was low, it was compensated with agile movement, and perfected with hand-based martial arts skills. He could fight on par with Schnee, and would win under certain conditions.
The figure that used to strike his fist against enemies with a roar, was reproduced instantly in Shinβs mind, as he remembered it properly.
βAfter hearing that, we canβt afford not to go. Where is Girardβs place?β
βWhen we exited from the Wraith Plains the other day, just go further north ahead instead. The alliance extends over the plains and forest area, it is next to a capital city that is said to be ruled by a human king. There are 4 big villages like the capital city, and the Girard is in the village of the dog clan where the current beast king is.β
βI see. Although I heard it roughly, there is no danger before arriving there, right?β
βYes, I think it will be safe for at least another several more years. Because the person in question has not weakened that much too.β
βThen, should I go normally?β
Shin was going to use his trump card for long-range transfer if he was really driven into a corner, but it somehow seemed to be all right.
βThen, because there are several things I want to check, letβs leave after I am finished. I have to be ready too, will both of you be alright for tomorrow?β
βIβm all right anytime~β
βI wonder if Iβm good since Iβve always been the sort of βstay at home caretakerβ.β
Shin asked Yuzuha and Tiera, who had taken the role of listener. Basically, Tiera was entrusted for house-watching because of Schnee always being away from home, and she thought she would do the same this time too.
βTiera, you will also go this time.β
βEh! Me too?β
Tiera was surprised to hear from Schnee that she was also going.
βBecause Shin has returned, thereβs no need to stick to this place anymore.β
βYeah, itβs the strong point of owning a personal store.β
βUm, is it okay to leave this store alone?β
Schnee smiled wrily at Tieraβs question.
βNo problem. Because he will carry it away.β
βCarry it…away?β
What did she say, Tiera had an expression of not understanding. Surely, there were few people who could understand immediately when Schnee said, βCarry the store.β
βI can take it. This store.β
β…Eto, what do you mean by that?β
It was understandable that Tiera couldnβt comprehend what Shin was trying to say. No matter how one looked at it, he couldnβt easily carry the store, was what she was probably thinking.
βIs it unusual now? To carry a store or a house?β
βItβs not nonexistent, but without an expert in that field, it would not be known. As far as I know, it needs quite a large sum of money to be attached even to a small hut.β
Although it was common technology during the game era, as usual, Shin didnβt know what happened under the present situation. When he heard about it from Schnee, he understood that it was treated like a special technique.
From seeing Tieraβs reaction, the production skills seemed to have suffered a steep decline.
βIndeed. Then, itβs only natural that Tiera doesnβt know about it, huh? Then, are arts more mainstream than skills now? Is the production system too?β
βYes. The production system is also divided by arts and skills. After the Dusk of the Majesty, people tried to restore the skills, and from trial and error, arts were born. Itβs the same as the combat system, where the effects are lower than a skill.β
βI knew it.β
If it was said in a game style, they were trying to reproduce the skill without the system assistance. Normally nothing would happen, but here was a different world. Perhaps, an effect, such as a portion of the skill was produced, and it was called arts. As for a blacksmith, because there were techniques that could never be reproduced by simple physical work, it must not be an βoff the markβ guess.
βSince the new generation, like me, thought arts were the standard, itβs deviated from Shin and Master by all means. Were people with the same class as Master common before the Dusk of the Majesty? I canβt imagine what kind of world that was.β
βWell it had its own way, but there were not many people who had the same class as Schnee, right?β
βStill, it canβt be counted with the number of fingers on both hands, donβt you agree? It was so beyond scary that Iβm amazed from that time. Those kind of people fighting were heard everywhere, and how such a society was able to maintain itself in such situation.β
βIn that situation, it was managed properly, and when a guy went too far they would get expelled.β
Malignant players were reported to GMβs and had their account deleted, but because he couldnβt say that, he got by with similar words. If there really was such a world, it ought to have perished a long time ago.
βHow was it able to be managed?β
βThat was because there were various people cooperating in that situation. Leaving that aside, what do you mean by a βnew generationβ that you said a while ago, Tiera?β
βAh that matter? Itβs simple. It is a βnew generationβ for people who were born after the Dusk of the Majesty, a person who was born before the Dusk of the Majesty and is still alive is called the βold generationβ. It was first said by someone when the country was founded after the Dusk of the Majesty, and lasted until now. Though I think as a new generation, I obviously feel inferior when I see Master and other older generations.β
As Tiera said, an old generation was certainly superior when looking at the ability.
Shin and Schnee were good examples. However, if the skill was excluded, it didnβt mean that the old generation was high in ability.
βThere are gaps in ability between the different generations, but Iβm not too conscious of differences between the old and new. However, I clearly feel the generation differences from Shin and Master.β
βNot generation differences!β
To tell the truth, a piece of the generation differences didnβt make sense to Shin.
βSuch recognition is all right I guess.β
Since it was already established, there didnβt seem to be any harm or anything. Although it appears to have some exceptions.
βLetβs return to the talk that had derailed away for the time being. I said it a while ago here, but Tsuki no Hokora is a store that can be moved. Because of that, I intend for the two of you to act together. In addition, Tiera is able to go out without much trouble now and I thought it would be good to take a trip. Ah, of course there is a choice, do you want to stay?β
He wouldnβt force her, against her will, to come along with him. And there was no reason he must take Tsuki no Hokora with him.
βIf thatβs the case, I will follow you. Though I did go out from here several times, it was still a little scary for me to enter the kingdom yet. But I think itβs all right if it were with Shin and Master together.β
βItβs decided then.β
βEveryone will be together~!β
All of them nodded at Yuzuhaβs remark.
βLetβs move for preparation immediately!β
In addition to Tiera and Schnee, they aimed to meet an old friend at Falnido Beast Alliance.
The anticipated reunion and parting, Shin has decided the destination.
What was waiting for them thereupon, no one knows.

Thanks!! <3
thank you so much for the chapter. so much backstory in this chapter and i love it all the same. i can’t wait to see who else of Shin’s support characters are still around and their reactions. it would probably be hilarious if the next support chars old wild man image turned into a crazy tsun tsun like attitude haha. there goes my imagination again. honestly though it’s great that you’re translating this and many of us are thankful. many thanks again for the chapter. btw how many characters where in the raws for this chapter part in particular?
This 2 volumes is kinda… disappointing for me
Do Shin even trying really hard to find a way to go back to his world?
Time~ I dont think much time passed since his wakeup.
At least I’m expecting a loli will appear among the supporting character, oh, is it pretty obvious? sorry for pointing it out
Kinda hoping he gives up trying to get home and just lives with Schree, she kind of deserves it.
Thanks for the Read~
Thank you for the chapter!
The story might lack fight scenes but for some reason to me I find meeting shins old companions more interesting I don’t know why.
woohoo!! chapter 4 part 2 is out!! thx alot guys!!
Thanks for the chapter. but it was kind of difficult understand the last part of the chapter (about the alliance and the old and new generation). I dont kind of understand what they mean by some things.
Thank you for the chapter!
I’m excited to meet more support characters. Thanks!
Why I believe that everyone everywhere will be shitting their pants at knowing that “the legendary Tsuki no Hora, was moved by someone?”
Store that can move… and will transform into super robot later!
Shin : nope, that patch haven’t come yet!
Thanks for the chapter~ ^^.
Seems like there were no much progress but it doesn’t matter. Thanks for the chapter, please keep the hard work.
Thank for the chapter. οΌβοΌΎoοΌΎβοΌ
I wonder how the world will react when his store disappears.
My thanks to you.
Nice! Thanks so much for another chapter part. π Love this series!
I can just imagine the face of the Princess when she arrives to talk to Schnee. Hehehehehe.
thank you
Thanks for the Chapter π
Shin forgot to leave the sign saying: ” “Tsuki no Hokora” will be moving for a short while, due to personal reasons”.
Because of that people won’t be going “Haaaaaaah”.
They’ll be going “WTF! Where The Hell Is The Frigging Building”.
Thx for your hard work!
Pretty sure that even with a sign they’ll go “WTF! where the hell is the fucking building!!”
Also, why you capitalized the first letter of every word? It’s looks so stupid.
True. I feel it’s like comparing 99 and 100. Still the carefree choice as written suits Shin best.
Well I’ll continue laughing at the possibility’s, like reporting it to the, and so on.
Didn’t like the the way it looked when i capitalized everything.
Also I’ve gotten tired of the F word lately, so i picked another.
was his Shop actually a Flying Airship…
Thx for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter. π
I wonder if for when the store disappears will the king and the other visitors from the last chapter will think it’s Schnee’s doing again
I think by making the store disappeared or moved will confirmed that the original of the store, a high human, has returned! This knowledge alone is shocking to the current native of that world!
Schnee is a high level elf from before the Dusk. That fact can muddle the issue somewhat, even if people ask why she didnt ever move before.
Thanks so much for the hard work! Shin’s support chars are all founder-class people with great influence huh! I wonder how Shin feels about this.
Anyway, looking forward to the next one!! Good work !
Thank you kindly for all your hard work.
Great chapter, thanks for translating it π
Thanks for the chapter! Looking forward to side story! owo)b
have a really good time reading this .i love the serie . thank you so much to let us know this serie
yey!!! translation are getting faster.. thanks for it TL and editor and Donators..
Love this! Cant wait for next chapter ? Thanks.
κ°μ¬ν©λλ€!! π
So far there’s a possibility that Crimison Alchemist was also in this world (as for how he/she end up in this world, we don’t know yet). That makes 2 out of the 6 Divas. It would be funny if all of Shin’s guildies end up in this world one way or the other.
Thanks
Thanks for the chaper
Thanks
Uwooooh, i’ve been waiting for this
Thank you very much for your effort
I really appreciate it π
