I really want to read this one(and Rental Magica too), but sadly I really don't have the time to read that much nowadays(can't even catch up with Kami-memo and finish Dantalian )

How about you and Allen translate this series so I can read it faster in English(English reading speed is 3 times faster than Japanese right now )?

I'll only do teasers (if I translate something) like the one I did. Well, there seems to be a certain person interested in this series, so

Let's see:
1A - 552, 1B - 776;
2A - 912, 2B - 1160;
3A - 744, 3B - 840, 3C - 904;
4A - 680, 4B - 744;
so the average of pages in each book is 812 pages. That's why I thought that the books from the fourth volume were kind of short

Allen-sensei, can you explain about the ability of Asama, especially about the offering part and...some memories she had with Toori. Did he grope her boobs?

Spoiler for Asama:

Well, about her ability. Asama has a contract with the Asama temple which allows her to use god's ability. To use those abilities she has to offer some things in exchange (that's why the offering) and use her own "energy". Hanami (that little cute creature that was talking with her) is like a intermediate between her and the god. Using some quotes to explain this a little better:

This was when she connected to the "server" of the Asama Temple to use the god's abilities. Btw, this Sakuya Type is refering to Hanami, who is a "mausu" (? still waiting for translations to this term).

It slightly bugs me that fansub groups didn't translate this. Once again +1 TAN.

What Asama did was to purify her arrow to get the effects above. In total there were four effects, so she had to do four offerings and use four "Haiki" (take this as a unit of that "energy").

About some memories between her and Toori... Huh!? There is only one that comes to my mind and I don't remember he groping her boobs!? You know, there are a lot of small details that show her affection to Toori and because of that I don't really remember those events. About the only scene that I remember: It contains other spoilers (about the plot itself), so just read if you really don't care about it,

Spoiler for Nakimushi Asama:

In the fourth volume she remembered the time when she went to sleep in Toori/Kimi-nee's house. It was soon after Horizon died and Toori disappeared for some days. That's why she has a strong impression that if she wakes up there, she won't find Toori again.

Then for some reasons she went to sleep there again (present). She woke up and didn't find Toori in his room. Because of that she was feeling very unease. That's why when she found Toori as usual, she started crying. A very touching scene that shows that Asama really cares about him =3

So now I'm a sensei too

Does he/she have a key role given his/her lineage, race belonging to a half-god and sealed powers?

Spoiler for Azuma-kun:

First of all, Azuma is a he. Until the third/start of the fourth volume there wasn't anything big involving him. But in the future he'll surely have a big importance in the plot, not only because he is half-god (and is the son of the "Mikado", which means his presence has a strong political aspect), but because of his love comedy, ops, relationship with Miriam and their kid, ops, with a misterious kid named as ??? in the LN.

So, from what I understand, he can access to 1/4 of the fuel of the giant ship ? So what will happen if he dies ?

Futhermore, the Toori from the two first episodes has already this power ? That's why he looks like a drug-addict ?=

Spoiler for Toori:

Yes, something like that. If he dies nothing happens to the "energy" of Musashi. He can use it, but it's not his own energy. He uses his ability only to send this "energy" to others when they need.

Nop. He'll gain this power in the episode 11? And he is like that for some reasons. His worship god is a god that likes what he normally does (those jokes, stupid remarks, strips, etc...) and because of that he gains "energy". He uses this energy to do those "bokes" (which makes him have a strong defense against "tsukkomis") and that's why he is alive even after being attacked by the Amazoness and Neito. And this "energy" that he have inside him allows him to use that power too. It's something like that?

Other reason is probably because of the sacrifice he has done in exchange of that power. If he fells sad he'll die, so to prevent that he normally acts in a way in which he won't fell sad? Maybe there is another reason of why he is "broken" like that, but there isn't enough info yet.
