If he ever does learn how to use a sword; I somewhat doubt it'll be anything like the Black Blade, but rather some small sword that can be carried around with his bows and quivers. Just seems that the bow is a bit of a nuke, a pure exchange of life force for direct power that kills opponents in one hit. While that isn't uninteresting per se, it's just his fights seem a little binary. Either his opponent is killed outright or not.

He already has a dagger.

And ya, I was also curious about how Tallard supposedly "lied" to Tigre and what his trump card is

Ahahahhah I loooooooove Olga, she can only strip in front of Tigre lolololol

But that comment about Tigre showing the aura of a king and reassuring everyone, if only for a moment. Now THAT was epic.

I had no idea, thank you.

Thanks for the translation. Very nice work.

The siege battle is a little too simple. The author seems more adept at depicting field battle. It's still nice to see Tigre's developing leadership.

Kinda sad there is no mention of Sophie. I kinda expect that the author won't waste such huge plot potential on 1 chapter but I'm still disappointed somewhat.

Olga ends up joining the club even before Sophie. Introduced last, finished third. None too shabby...

Hm. Any thoughts on what we should call Brune and Zchted's language? Brun? Brunese? Zchtese? Just having "Brune language" bothers my mind.

Vanadis Tigre saw naked: Ellen, Sophie, Mira and Olga.....

Wow, for every Vanadis he met, he get to see them naked.....

Don't forget that he groped just about each and every one of them in some way to

Ellen-groped her breast when he tackled her in practice combat, also groped them while sleeping when Ellen tried to wake her up

Sophie-She fell on top of him while naked and his hand touched her hips, not sure which one I'd be more jealous of o_O

Spoiler for spoiler:

Hearing that, a shadow appeared, shaking the nearby bushes.

“Lunie-cha---”

It was a woman. She was taller than Tigre and had eyes the color of a beryl and golden hair.

When her eyes met Tigre's, they opened widely. She gasped and was at a loss for words. Tigre stared at her in surprise, unable to move.

She was not wearing a single piece of cloth and stood completely exposed, her body wet with water, to Tigre.

She had delicate shoulders, ample bosom, narrow hips, and long, slender legs.

After a silence reaching a count of ten, Tigre's brain managed to squeeze out some words.

“Cl, clothes...?”

However, his thought process was not normal.

As if reacting to Tigre's voice, the infant Dragon's body began to shake. The woman, also reacting to his words, began moving.

“Lunie-chan!”

The woman kicked off the ground, chasing after it so it would not escape. She moved as if she had not noticed Tigre's presence and stumbled after her fourth step. With her posture broken, Tigre moved his arms out to catch her on reflex and fell embracing her.

Perhaps due to the chill of the river water, her cold body made him feel warm. He could clearly feel her soft skin and two voluptuous bulges.

Though his back was to the ground, he barely felt it. With the majority of his consciousness taken away, he could not even think of anything else.

Though the two were mutually frozen, Tigre tried to move his hand somehow. His fingers brushed the glossy skin along her hips; a bewitching sound tickled Tigre's ear.

However, it had removed the tension. She finally sat up, drops of water spilling from her golden hair down her collarbone, collecting in the valley between her breasts.

Against the background of the night sky, her beautiful, naked body stole his eyes once again. Though he wanted to offer his clothes so she could conceal herself, it was clearly impossible in this posture. Unable to do anything, he shut his eyes strongly and covered his face with his hand.

“Oh my, I apologize.”

Her gentle voice fell from above; it was impossible for him not to hear it. When he thought he wanted to retreat, he heard a voice from a distance.

“Sophie? Since it's this dark, it will be hard to find Lunie...”

The voice broke off as footsteps approached. Tigre's instincts perceived an unprecedented danger. While Tigre wanted to escape immediately, the woman was still on top of him.

Though he may have been able to escape if he pushed her away, he could not muster any strength.

“--- Oh?”

Hearing a voice tinged with anger, Tigre felt a sense of hopelessness.

Mira-groped her breast whilst sleeping

Valentia-also groped her breast whilst sleeping

Olga-groped her butt while sleeping, continued on over the period of their ship ride to Asvarre

Teita-shot and arrow which ripped off a large majority of her clothes near her abdomen

Spoiler for picture:

Lim-groped her beast when she tried to get back her stuffed animal

Regin-washed her back for her

also note that he HAS seen the following naked while they were showering-Ellen, Mira, Sophie, Regin, Olga

On his to do list-Valentia, Elizaveta, Princess Guinevere


To be quite honest-I'd be kind of intrigued if Tallard Graham was also a princess in disguise or at the very least still a good guy. I mean, the author has kind of invested a tad bit too much into Tallard's "Nice personality" to all of a sudden write him off as evil.

1)The people of Asvarre love him
2)Been seen that he disapproves on unfair treatment of citizens, like the general abducted kids, or Prince Jermaine's method of controlling people through fear
3)Him competing in a friendly competition in archery with Tigre
4)Kind of a genius in military tactics-He tested Tigre's ability in combat, battle tactics, and also analyzed that prince Elliot would be unable to keep up his army of 30,000 for long due to supplies

current idea is that Tallard has some allegiance to the princess Guinevere, long lost child of royalty, or ambitious and wants the throne because he feels he is the best fit

Many thanks to Setsuna for all his/her hard work on translating! It definitely slaked a thirst of mine.

However, just wanna put out there that the posted translations of volume 6 on Baka-Tsuki could use some scrubbing by people with access to the raws, especially the 2nd and 3rd chapters. Regular people can handle editing English, but sometimes there are lines which make no sense as they are, and it would be bad form to just guess what they meant.

You forgot Sasha.

I'm stuck trying to find stuff to read till all these stories are translated.
Btw quick question.
Does the majority believe that Tigre will end up making the princess of Asvarre fall for him or is it just me?

Don't know what you mean by majority. Few are actually aware of his mission in Asvarre and I don't think any know about his harem charm.

Thank ‎Setsuna86 for finishing the translation of vol 6.

Have anyone got any Illustrations of vol 7? or the synopsis of vol 7?

Do you hear that, my friend?

That is the sound of the pounding migraine I'm getting right about now.

I assume you mean paragraphing and the flow of sentences into each other rather than just the flow of phrases within a sentence.

Yes, admittedly it isn't up to par, and the main problem is that it's a pain to convert Japanese prose into English prose. It's not Epic-Superunique-Elite-Champion-class difficult, but it's tedious as hell.

And on that note, maybe I should start that long edit from Ch2.

Spoiler for apology:

Yes gents it's still in progress, just that I was delayed by lack of context, a family emergency, and then a Hataraku Maou-sama cheer-up break. It was necessary, I insist . And now that I realize that I have no context going into Ch4...I might as well start from Ch2. First things first and everything. Given my IRL track record I'm probably not going to give myself deadlines this time. You'll just have to know the bomb when you see it.

no worries dude, I'll try going through the chapters again for sentence flow if it helps

[Iskatar]

I'm doing chapter five right now and it's taking quite a while due to various summer things that don't let me have a lot of free time.

Why no chapter 4 lol?

[mike211]

Should I start reading vol 6 or wait for a week or 2 so that the editor could work their magic?



*Edit*

I made up my mind, I would finish reading HO vol 2 before reading vol 6.

Anyone know the synopsis of vol 7?

My bad, I worded it incorrectly.

Vol 7 came out just recently right? anyone seen anything yet?

I am sorry to hear about your migraine. I know translating is very difficult.

As for what I meant, I mean that chapters 2 and 3 in particular had lines like:

Although she gave an impression as if she was slightly absentminded with a no table tub, she was strangely amiable.

While we can guess as to what the line intended to convey, "no table tub" is an enigma that we can't drop without fearing that we're losing something.

If the translation is accurate, group-editing can handle improper grammar, and rewriting the prose to read more naturally. But encountering lines like

He did not even mind to have any problem even if he became steady carelessly as a feudal domain in the sea

is like hitting a brick wall without being able to read/understand the source material. (That particular line has since been edited by someone, and I can only hope they didn't just make stuff up.)

As fair warning, I have no knowledge of the actual contents of the seventh volume.

That said, shit will go down, mooks will die, bad guys will get dragon arrows up the anus, and Tigre will see naked people.

[holybell84]

Imagine the author trolling us and have Tigre seeing Tallard naked lol
