Kleeyook would be posting them soon as the Thai one comes out. I think volume 8 is partial done or something.
Yup. Thanks to that, his country was approved as a actual country. They build their country within a chapter or something...... Shouldnt making a country be something very hard.....? Man, I became lost at all the things happening....
They recognized a pirate ship as a country--that's something the other Captain Ash couldn't do. So, what title does Captain Ash title himself, as well as what is the official title of this 'country'? Republic?Principality?Duchy?Commonwealth?Lordship? Grand Duchy?Duchy?Kingdom?Don't tell me it calls itself an empire?About getting land, the easiest would be to just attack some imperial land. With Eiko and an army of dragons,it wouldn't be hard to take limited amount of land off the empire-- just like how the Ottomans who were originally landless, seized land from the Byzantine Empire.

If anything it's probably like "Isekai no seikishi monogatari" (Story of the Saint Knight from Another World)
At the end of the day, the country in that anime and in this story were both formed due to convenience, so they likely won't last long.. unless..
Spoiler:
A gag that started near the end of that particular anime was that the lead would marry the princesses/queens of other countrys simultaneously. Everyone was shocked when they thought of 3+ countries merging!
The "ship" itself is deemed to be it's own country, and the title would probably be something simple like "kokuou" which is simply "Country's King"
The country will be called by the term "Harem country" with ash given the title "Harem King"
Not if Issei has anything to say about it! lol. But still, I really can't believe he turned his new air/battle ship into a country. How big is the ship anyway?
Sorry mates! I'm still working on the summary. The summary for vol. 7 is 3x longer (or more detailed) than previous volume. So it takes more time.
Also, I wasn't entirely committed to translating the summary since my eyes hurt training the so called "hand-eye coordination" with my graphics tablet. I dream to have a freelance job as a digital artist doing anime-style illustrations but I can't draw on my Wacom yet.
So staring at the monitor really hurt my eyes. I spent a lot of time sleeping to rest my eyes too.
No need to rush though. I don't have the summary for vol. 3 (the guy posting it in Thai took out after Thai version of the novel was released. Now he just took out summary for vol. 4 since vol. 4 was released in Thailand a few weeks back.) so you'll need the manga scanlation to reach Lucca's arc anyway.
On side note. I only translated like 1/10 of the summary for now. I'll post it once I finished up to 1/3.
Well, translating the summary for vol. 7 is a real pain. It's 3 times longer than what I did for volume 4 and 5.
A lot of LN have been bothering me so much. I'm thankful they're being translated. But there are things that annoy the hell out of me.
Hidan no Aria - Aria annoys me.
Serei Tsukai no Blade Dance - I really despise Claire, and the unreasonable violent tsundere in general. Maybe Kamito's indecisiveness also annoys me. Don't tell me he's a decisive guy when he doesn't tell the rest of the girls to stop bothering him and Restia and Est!
Heavy Object - Quenser's superiors are jerks.
Campione! - Godou is too impractical. He doesn't train or seeks battles to increase his experience when the strongest adversary is sleeping right under his island. What if he loses? There's no guaranty that the god won't do anything to Japan...
Sword Art Online - Is Kirito really the strongest? How is he compared to Asuna? I read it until vol. 9 and still can't figure out. Also, I don't agree about having a side kick like Egueo when he has been a solo swordman for 8 volumes.
Well, that's it. I think that even though Eco seems to be like Louise at first, she doesn't come close to any girls on my complaint list in term of sheer annoyance.
Spoiler for SnRK Vol 7 Summary Part 1/3:
Part 1/3
When Ceres was seven years old she was sold to be a maid in the kitchen. But she was very clumsy and always made mistakes (which makes me wonder how could she become a maid ninja like Corset). Her left eye is also unusual. That left eye of hers never has tear coming out.
According to the ancient record, that eye of hers is the proof of "children of Pluto". << (more about it later in the summary)
Ceres was born in Lafon household. But ever since she was born, her family has always met with problems.
Her father went missing, her mom fell ill. One day, prince Uriel bought her so that she'd have money to pay for her mom's medicine. So Ceres has a lot of respect for prince Uriel.
One day, Uriel told Ceres that she couldn't live there anymore since the king ordered her to become his younger brother's personal maid.
When Ceres reached the house of Blaceford, she met a certain boy there. The boy greeted her and told her about himself that his mother is the concubine of the king, but she's still a commoner, the fact that the king sends a personal maid to him makes him really glad.
Ceres than introduced herself.
"My name is Ceres Lafon."
The boy asked her.
"Can I just call you Ceres?"
The boy then tried to introduced himself.
"My name is-"
But Ceres interrupted him.
"I already know your name. Mister Oscar Blaceford."
Oscar is the son of the king with a commoner mother and is the first Chevron citizen to become a breeder. Oscar then told Ceres that he is the one who will become the king of Chevron and Ceres should be prepared for that. (wow, boasting about that to anyone)
Ceres answered Oscar that she is clumsy and wouldn't be any use.
But Oscar told her.
"You definitely could. Do you know that I am ranked 108th to inherit the throne. But I don't care since I'm determined to become the king anyway."
Ceres told Oscar.
"But my eye is cursed."
But Oscar told her it's cool.
"Having secret is the romantic aspect of men (but they're both female). Since you told me your secret, I'll tell you mine in return. I'll tell that important secret of mine to you later."
Ceres was thinking back then that maybe Oscar could become king.
After Ash won against Rebecca in the match. That night Silvia comes to him. But Corset teases her that sneaking to Ash in the night is called "yobai" (It's an ancient Japanese practice when a young adult male would crawl into his partner's bed at night to make love, usually during their first experience. In Thailand its name is "Lak Lab", which can be translated as "steal sleep" or more accurately "steal her chastity while she's asleep".)
Silvia shouts in response that she didn't come here to do that.
Corset then stops walking and tells Silvia.
"Then I won't be interrupting you. I'll just wait here."
But Silvia shouts again that she won't be alone with Ash since there's Eco.
However, when Silvia knocks the door to Ash's room, she hears a voice from within the room.
"Please, I beg you, Eco!"
"Noway! It's too embarrassing!"
"Then can I just do it myself!?"
"Even if you will do it, no is no!"
"Then just let me take a peek at it! Because I can't endure it anymore!"
"Just let you peek at it is fine, but I'm still embarrassed."
Silvia blushes and asks Corset what the two of them are doing inside the room.
Corset replies.
"Hu hu! We shouldn't interrupt them!"
The voice continues.
"Please Eco! I've seen it before. You don't need to be shy! Everyone else is doing it too."
"Have those guys lost their moral and pride already?
"Please Eco! No matter what I do I can't forget what just happened recently. Please let me take a peek at it again!"
"Why are you such a beast!? No is no!"
Silvia finally snaps and uses all her might to break the door.
"What are the two of you doing!? How shameless!"
Silvia then notices that Ash is hugging Eco in the bed.
"What are you guys doing hugging each other in the bed in the middle of the night!? How unscrupulous!"
Ash explains that they want the dragonic flower crystal to use the the finale. For Eco who is the princess of Avalon, must give very high quality crystal.
Silvia is thinking about what she is doing.
Lucca who listens to them outside the window then says that it sounds interesting. Lucca has been eavesdropping outside on Gawain's back for a long time already.
Lucca tells them because she'd have a match against Silvia tomorrow, she comes here to see Ash's face.
Eco and Silvia shout why would she be deredere here, they can just see each other's face tomorrow.
But Lucca counters silvia back why she's here.
Silvia replies that she comes to congratulate Ash for winning against Rebecca.
Lucca says she's the same.
Eco has enough and shouts.
"You guys are too self-indulgent! Ash is mine! I already kissed him!"
Silvia outcries in response.
"I kissed him too, right before your very eyes!"
Lucca joins them.
"When we were cleaning Julius Building, Ash was in my skirt (you know, the cliché scenario where the male protagonist's head happens to come across or inside a girl's skirt, almost every ecchi or hentai series have it, I just have no idea how to properly translate this phrase). According to Eckblood Clan's law, the man who did something like that to a woman must take responsibility and take her as a bride."
In the end, Ash has to interfere in their quarrel and change the topic.
"You girls! Stop fighting already! Lucca! Do you know if Eckblood has any method to make a dragon create draconic flower crystal?"
Lucca answers.
"Yes, we do. Do you want me to make it?"
Lucca then starts stripping until she's half-naked.
Silvia tells Ash not to look at all cost and asks Lucca why she has to strip.
Lucca replies that in order to create the strong crystal, skin to skin contact is the best method.
Ash is wondering why does it sound like giving birth to baby (we don't strip the mother like that when she's about to give birth, you fail health education!).
Lucca tells Eco to strip too. But Eco refuses. Lucca then rubs Eco's horns and strips her when she becomes weak.
Silvia order Ash to sit with his back turned on them as well as his eyes closed.
However, the sound they let out is more than enough to make Ash's thought in disarray.
Corset also puts Ash's face into her breasts in order to prevent Ash from looking back while telling him the development.
"Try harder Eco! Relax a bit too (how would she relax when she has to try harder?)! Believe in me! The strong crystal is going to appear soon." << I have no idea whose dialogue is this >>
Suddenly, Eco cries out. Ash then notices that the whole room is enveloped in light.
Corset then tells Ash.
"Congratulation! Ash-sama!"
When Ash turns back, he sees a pink draconic flower crystal so beautiful like a pink diamond.
Silvia says in surprise.
"This is the draconic flower crystal that the princess of Avalon created?"
The crystal gives out an enormous aura. It's filled with unbelievable magic power. As for how Eco's first attempt in creating the crystal is, it remains a secret to Ash how they make it anyway.
Next morning. Ash is trying to wake Eco up. But Eco is talking in her sleep (there's only "sleepwalking", no "sleeptalking" in dictionary) telling Ash to give her a wake up kiss and pulls Ash to kiss. But when she wakes up and notices that she's kissing Ash, she asks Ash why he's kissing her. Ash replies that it was her who pulled him to kiss.
It's 10 o'clock. The morning match will be between Silvia and Lucca. While the afternoon match will be between Oscar and Max.
Jessica complains that she won't be able to endure it if Ash were to lose to Oscar. However, even if Ash were to lose, although she wouldn't be able to become the legal wife, she doesn't mind becoming the 2nd husband, the 3rd or the 100th of Ash's.
Eco is releasing killing aura towards Jessica's back the entire time.
Ash is sitting in the audience seat to watch the match together with Corset.
Also, a red haired girl with pigtail on both sides, wearing mini one piece and sunglasses like ojou-sama from Chevron comes to sit with them. The true identity of the girl is Rebecca, who disguises herself to watch the match.
As soon as the match begins, both Silvia and Lucca fight with all their might. Ash asks Rebecca why they're so serious about the match.
Rebecca responses.
"Ash! You're such a sinful man! Did you forget the fact that this tournament has you as the reward!? Silvia declared that if she won, you'd become her fiancé. As for Lucca, she'd like you to go to the sacred engagement ceremony ay her village. So it's no wonder both of them are doing their best."
At the moment Silvia seems to have the upperhand. But Lucca is flying to evade SIlvia's attacks while using "Dragon's Dance" which Silvia can't notice due to the fact that today is very cloudy.
Suddenly, Lucca activates the magic "Dragon's Dance type 2" which create countless meteor rain downwards leaving Silvia with no room to evade.
When the smoke from the impact starts to fade, only Lancelot is seen flying without Silvia. Lancelot used 6 layers of barrier magic to endure the impact.
At that moment Silvia appears behind Lucca using teleportation magic of Lancelot and makes Lucca fall down from Gawain.
Lucca lost. An announcement for the victor then heard.
"Dragonar Gunabout (sorry, no idea what it freaking means either), the winner of the 2nd match is princess Silvia lautremont!"
In the third match, Oscar overwhelmingly won against Max. And in the fourth night of the festival, Saragias the Third, the king of Chevron Kingdom makes a visit with airship Crown Soras to watch the finale.
Saragias talks to Oscar and tells her to take Eco to him as soon as possible, so that he would drink Eco's fresh blood and obtain immortality.
Oscar Is receiving the order while bending her face near to hide her expression of dissatisfaction.
That night, the student council members gather at Laten Restaurant.
Arnia is the waitress there. She serves the food to them.
Ash tells Arnia not to use honorific on him, just call him with his name alone.
Arnia then calls Ash with his name, Ash.
But the 4 girls, Eco, Silvia, Lucca and Jessica have become upset until Arnia has to flee from the scene.
They gather there in order to discuss plan about the festival tomorrow. There'll be dragon race in the morning and dragonar tournament finale in the afternoon.
Suddenly, someone interrupt them.
When they turn to the voice's source, they see Veronica and Mirabel coming to them together with Glenn following them in the back.
Veronica says.
"You're Arnia, right? How is it with your new life? You look good on maid uniform."
Arnia asks Veronica why Afdosia (Avudocha according to manga scanlation) doesn't come with them.
Veronica replies that she gives another job to Afdosia to do. She then turns to Silvia.
"Silvia! This won't do! Why aren't you an arch-dragonar yet? You should learn something from Rebecca!"
Veronica then adds.
"The tournament tomorrow, King Oswald and King Saragias will come to watch your match too."
Ash then remembers about how Oscar told them that Saragias wants Eco.
Veronica then talks to Mirabel about security tomorrow.
Both princesses keep talking. Meanwhile miracle is trying to insult Veronica during their talk. Mirabel also tells Veronica to take off her armor and wear beautiful dress like a princess does so that some gentlemen would come to flirt with her. In the end it develops into a cat fight.
Ash tells Rebecca that they should intervene to stop the princesses' quarrel. But Rebecca tells him.
"The fight between princesses. Commoners like us can't intervene. It'd be imprudent for us to do. We should let another princess to intervene instead."
Rebecca then turns to Silvia.
Silvia refuses.
"I'll never have anything to do with their fight at all cost! Because once they fight, no one can stop them. We can only wait until they both get tired."
While Ash is asleep, he feels like Eco is biting him. Ash then tells Eco to stop. But Ash then notices that the one who's biting him isn't Eco.
When Ash opens his eyes, he finds Narvi who is naked, sitting on top of him, with Ash being naked as well.
Ash then realizes that they're now in the dragon technical room. He then asks Narvi what's the deal, to summon him here.
Narvi replies.
"Can't I summon you here if I don't have any urgent business!?"
Narvi then says further.
"RIght now there're only the two of us. Let's have a talk with just the two of us here. You're feeling nice too, right?"
"Wait! This is no good!"
"Why!?" Asks Narvi while using her right hand to feel Ash's back and chest.
"Please! I just told you to stop!"
"Huhu! This is just like when we first met."
Narvi then starts to suck and lick Ash all over. << I'm so envious! T^T >>
Ash begins to doze. But he pushes Narvi away a bit and tells Narvi.
"We can't do this Narvi! Even though I really like you, we can't just do something like this!"
"Are you thinking that this is a betrayal to Eco!?"
"That's also part of it."
But Narvi continues to pet Ash again and says to him.
"No problem! In the end, that child will have the experience of this event too. Last time I already told you that if Eco and I merged, she'll gain all knowledge and experience that I possess."
"That's why I can't do it!"
"Why!? Because I have myself separated from her from the beginning? The history of dragon race always wants it to be like this!"
"It's because of that! Even if the dragon race accepts, I won't!"
Ash then stands up grabbing Narvi's arms and pushes her to bed and says.
"Because Narvi is my important friend. I'll never allow you to disappear!"
Narvi hears and and cries.
"That's cheating! If you say something like that, then I'll…"
"What is it, Narvi!?"
But Narvi keeps silent.
However, Ash can't look away from Narvi's body either. He thinks that Narvi is cheating, making that kind of face to him until he almost can't endure it.
Just a little bit before Ash's reason and rationality will fall down, Ash feels like something unusual has happened to his spirit body. He feels like being sucked away from there.
Narvi notices Ash's condition and tells him.
"Ash! there's someone touching your body. Hurry up and go back to your real body!"
"Hey, you filthy insect!"
Ash is still sleepy.
"Please, I beg you! Let me sleep a bit more!"
Suddenly, Ash wakes up. He believes that Eco woke him up. But when he open his eyes. He see Eco asleep hugging the dragon doll.
An outcry is then heard.
"Where are you looking at!? I'm this way!"
When Ash looks up, he finds Ceres standing on him.
Ash asks in surprise.
"What!? How come you're here standing on me!? Please, I beg you! Stop standing on me, it really hurts!"
But Ceres just increases the stepping force.
But then Ash catches a sight of something amazing. Ash then asks Ceres.
"You're wearing black underwear, right?"
Ceres is surprised and immediately lets her feet out.
Ash quickly rises up. But Ceres hands over something to Ash.
Those things are female student uniform, long haired wig and female underwear. Ceres then tells Ash to wear them.
Ash is upset that he has to dress as a girl again. He then asks Ceres why he has to do this.
Ceres replies.
"Stop complaining you filthy insect! Didn't you hear what I just told you?"
Ceres then brings out a pistol to threaten Ash.
Ash asks Ceres if she's threatening him. He asks further if it's the will of Oscar.
But Ceres replies.
"This doesn't concern Oscar-sama. Don't ask me anymore! just do what I say! or do you want me to…"
Ceres then turn the gun to Eco who is asleep.
Ash has no choice but to obey Ceres.
Ceres takes Ash to ride on dragon taxi. She tells the rider to send them at Rubinea Lake.
Ash asks Ceres what they're going to do there.
Ceres tells Ash to make sound like a girl since he's now Ashley.
Rubinea Lake is the place where people like to go picnic. However, because today is the last day of the festival, no one comes here.
Ash ask Ceres.
"Are we here for fishing?"
Ceres replies.
"Who's gonna go fishing with you!? Do you see that old cabin over there? Go inside!"
However, the cabin's door is locked.
Ceres then brings out unlocking device to unlock the door.
Ash asks Ceres why she brings something like that with her.
Ceres replies that it's typical for maids to bring the tool with them.
Ash responses that there's no maid like that.
"Go inside!"
Ceres pushes Ash onto bed before pushing him onto bed to tie both his hands.
Ash smells mint fragrant perfume from Ceres.
Ceres tells Ash that he's a very good looking girl. Better looking than her despite being a boy.
But Ash tells Ceres that she's very cute, really really cute.
Ceres blushes because no one has have told her something like this before.
Ash uses this opportunity to ask Ceres what her goal is.
Ceres tells him that her master is going to start his plan now.
Ash asks Ceres if her master is king Saragias.
Ceres doesn't response. But then Ceres tells him.
"Something's going to happen in the arena. You'll be safe if you stay here. Just for today! Please stay here!"
Ash doesn't understand what Ceres means.
But Ceres cut the conversation by kissing Ash mouth to mouth while inserting tongue into Ash's mouth.
Ash thinks that Ceres's kiss taste like peppermint.
Suddenly Ash feels like something has passed through his neck. When Ceres pulls out her mouth, there are cables of drool following her mouth.
Ash then feels heavy and very sleepy.
Ceres tells Ash.
"Don't you worry! It's just sleeping pill. Whatever will happen in the future, I want you to remain friend with Oscar. When you're out, please support her! because only you that I can't let to die!"
Ash doesn't understand what Ceres is going to do or who is she going to fight. He then falls asleep.
When Ash falls asleep. Ceres is thinking about their kiss and feels something unusual until she blushes. She then tries to tell herself.
"It wasn't like that! That was the fastest way to make him take the pill! It couldn't be help!"
Ceres then takes off her maid uniform and wear black robe with magic symbols all over. She then tells herself.
"Because I am Pluto's children. I can't walk the same path as you. Oscar."
Ceres then turns to Ash and tells him.
"You filthy insect, no. Ash Blake! No matter what Oscar will do, please believe in her until the end!"
Well, translating the summary for vol. 7 is a real pain. It's 3 times longer than what I did for volume 4 and 5.
A lot of LN have been bothering me so much. I'm thankful they're being translated. But there are things that annoy the hell out of me.
Hidan no Aria - Aria annoys me.
Serei Tsukai no Blade Dance - I really despise Claire, and the unreasonable violent tsundere in general. Maybe Kamito's indecisiveness also annoys me. Don't tell me he's a decisive guy when he doesn't tell the rest of the girls to stop bothering him and Restia and Est!
Heavy Object - Quenser's superiors are jerks.
Campione! - Godou is too impractical. He doesn't train or seeks battles to increase his experience when the strongest adversary is sleeping right under his island. What if he loses? There's no guaranty that the god won't do anything to Japan...
Sword Art Online - Is Kirito really the strongest? How is he compared to Asuna? I read it until vol. 9 and still can't figure out. Also, I don't agree about having a side kick like Egueo when he has been a solo swordman for 8 volumes.
Well, that's it. I think that even though Eco seems to be like Louise at first, she doesn't come close to any girls on my complaint list in term of sheer annoyance.
Spoiler for SnRK Vol 7 Summary Part 1/3:
Part 1/3
When Ceres was seven years old she was sold to be a maid in the kitchen. But she was very clumsy and always made mistakes (which makes me wonder how could she become a maid ninja like Corset). Her left eye is also unusual. That left eye of hers never has tear coming out.
According to the ancient record, that eye of hers is the proof of "children of Pluto". << (more about it later in the summary)
Ceres was born in Lafon household. But ever since she was born, her family has always met with problems.
Her father went missing, her mom fell ill. One day, prince Uriel bought her so that she'd have money to pay for her mom's medicine. So Ceres has a lot of respect for prince Uriel.
One day, Uriel told Ceres that she couldn't live there anymore since the king ordered her to become his younger brother's personal maid.

"My name is-"
But Ceres interrupted him.
"I already know your name. Mister Oscar Blaceford."
Oscar is the son of the king with a commoner mother and is the first Chevron citizen to become a breeder. Oscar then told Ceres that he is the one who will become the king of Chevron and Ceres should be prepared for that. (wow, boasting about that to anyone)
Ceres answered Oscar that she is clumsy and wouldn't be any use.
But Oscar told her.
"You definitely could. Do you know that I am ranked 108th to inherit the throne. But I don't care since I'm determined to become the king anyway."

After Ash won against Rebecca in the match. That night Silvia comes to him. But Corset teases her that sneaking to Ash in the night is called "yobai" (It's an ancient Japanese practice when a young adult male would crawl into his partner's bed at night to make love, usually during their first experience.

"Even if you will do it, no is no!"
"Then just let me take a peek at it! Because I can't endure it anymore!"
"Just let you peek at it is fine, but I'm still embarrassed."
Silvia blushes and asks Corset what the two of them are doing inside the room.
Corset replies.
"Hu hu! We shouldn't interrupt them!"
The voice continues.
"Please Eco! I've seen it before. You don't need to be shy! Everyone else is doing it too."
"Have those guys lost their moral and pride already?

Lucca who listens to them outside the window then says that it sounds interesting. Lucca has been eavesdropping outside on Gawain's back for a long time already.
Lucca tells them because she'd have a match against Silvia tomorrow, she comes here to see Ash's face.
Eco and Silvia shout why would she be deredere here, they can just see each other's face tomorrow.
But Lucca counters silvia back why she's here.
Silvia replies that she comes to congratulate Ash for winning against Rebecca.
Lucca says she's the same.
Eco has enough and shouts.
"You guys are too self-indulgent! Ash is mine! I already kissed him!"

In the end, Ash has to interfere in their quarrel and change the topic.

Suddenly, Eco cries out. Ash then notices that the whole room is enveloped in light.
Corset then tells Ash.
"Congratulation! Ash-sama!"
When Ash turns back, he sees a pink draconic flower crystal so beautiful like a pink diamond.

The crystal gives out an enormous aura. It's filled with unbelievable magic power. As for how Eco's first attempt in creating the crystal is, it remains a secret to Ash how they make it anyway.
Next morning. Ash is trying to wake Eco up.

But when she wakes up and notices that she's kissing Ash, she asks Ash why he's kissing her. Ash replies that it was her who pulled him to kiss.
It's 10 o'clock. The morning match will be between Silvia and Lucca. While the afternoon match will be between Oscar and Max.
Jessica complains that she won't be able to endure it if Ash were to lose to Oscar. However, even if Ash were to lose, although she wouldn't be able to become the legal wife, she doesn't mind becoming the 2nd husband, the 3rd or the 100th of Ash's.
Eco is releasing killing aura towards Jessica's back the entire time.
Ash is sitting in the audience seat to watch the match together with Corset.
Also, a red haired girl with pigtail on both sides, wearing mini one piece and sunglasses like ojou-sama from Chevron comes to sit with them. The true identity of the girl is Rebecca, who disguises herself to watch the match.
As soon as the match begins, both Silvia and Lucca fight with all their might. Ash asks Rebecca why they're so serious about the match.
Rebecca responses.
"Ash! You're such a sinful man! Did you forget the fact that this tournament has you as the reward!? Silvia declared that if she won, you'd become her fiancé. As for Lucca, she'd like you to go to the sacred engagement ceremony ay her village. So it's no wonder both of them are doing their best."
At the moment Silvia seems to have the upperhand. But Lucca is flying to evade SIlvia's attacks while using "Dragon's Dance" which Silvia can't notice due to the fact that today is very cloudy.
Suddenly, Lucca activates the magic "Dragon's Dance type 2" which create countless meteor rain downwards leaving Silvia with no room to evade.
When the smoke from the impact starts to fade, only Lancelot is seen flying without Silvia. Lancelot used 6 layers of barrier magic to endure the impact.
At that moment Silvia appears behind Lucca using teleportation magic of Lancelot and makes Lucca fall down from Gawain.
Lucca lost. An announcement for the victor then heard.
"Dragonar Gunabout (sorry, no idea what it freaking means either), the winner of the 2nd match is princess Silvia lautremont!"
In the third match, Oscar overwhelmingly won against Max. And in the fourth night of the festival, Saragias the Third, the king of Chevron Kingdom makes a visit with airship Crown Soras to watch the finale.
Saragias talks to Oscar and tells her to take Eco to him as soon as possible, so that he would drink Eco's fresh blood and obtain immortality.
Oscar Is receiving the order while bending her face near to hide her expression of dissatisfaction.
That night, the student council members gather at Laten Restaurant.
Arnia is the waitress there. She serves the food to them.
Ash tells Arnia not to use honorific on him, just call him with his name alone.
Arnia then calls Ash with his name, Ash.
But the 4 girls, Eco, Silvia, Lucca and Jessica have become upset until Arnia has to flee from the scene.
They gather there in order to discuss plan about the festival tomorrow. There'll be dragon race in the morning and dragonar tournament finale in the afternoon.
Suddenly, someone interrupt them.
When they turn to the voice's source, they see Veronica and Mirabel coming to them together with Glenn following them in the back.
Veronica says.
"You're Arnia, right? How is it with your new life? You look good on maid uniform."
Arnia asks Veronica why Afdosia (Avudocha according to manga scanlation) doesn't come with them.
Veronica replies that she gives another job to Afdosia to do. She then turns to Silvia.
"Silvia! This won't do! Why aren't you an arch-dragonar yet? You should learn something from Rebecca!"
Veronica then adds.
"The tournament tomorrow, King Oswald and King Saragias will come to watch your match too."
Ash then remembers about how Oscar told them that Saragias wants Eco.
Veronica then talks to Mirabel about security tomorrow.
Both princesses keep talking. Meanwhile miracle is trying to insult Veronica during their talk. Mirabel also tells Veronica to take off her armor and wear beautiful dress like a princess does so that some gentlemen would come to flirt with her. In the end it develops into a cat fight.
Ash tells Rebecca that they should intervene to stop the princesses' quarrel. But Rebecca tells him.
"The fight between princesses. Commoners like us can't intervene. It'd be imprudent for us to do. We should let another princess to intervene instead."
Rebecca then turns to Silvia.
Silvia refuses.
"I'll never have anything to do with their fight at all cost! Because once they fight, no one can stop them. We can only wait until they both get tired."
While Ash is asleep, he feels like Eco is biting him. Ash then tells Eco to stop. But Ash then notices that the one who's biting him isn't Eco.
When Ash opens his eyes, he finds Narvi who is naked, sitting on top of him, with Ash being naked as well.
Ash then realizes that they're now in the dragon technical room. He then asks Narvi what's the deal, to summon him here.
Narvi replies.
"Can't I summon you here if I don't have any urgent business!?"
Narvi then says further.
"RIght now there're only the two of us. Let's have a talk with just the two of us here. You're feeling nice too, right?"
"Wait! This is no good!"
"Why!?" Asks Narvi while using her right hand to feel Ash's back and chest.
"Please! I just told you to stop!"
"Huhu! This is just like when we first met."
Narvi then starts to suck and lick Ash all over. << I'm so envious! T^T >>
Ash begins to doze. But he pushes Narvi away a bit and tells Narvi.
"We can't do this Narvi! Even though I really like you, we can't just do something like this!"
"Are you thinking that this is a betrayal to Eco!?"
"That's also part of it."
But Narvi continues to pet Ash again and says to him.
"No problem! In the end, that child will have the experience of this event too. Last time I already told you that if Eco and I merged, she'll gain all knowledge and experience that I possess."
"That's why I can't do it!"
"Why!? Because I have myself separated from her from the beginning? The history of dragon race always wants it to be like this!"
"It's because of that! Even if the dragon race accepts, I won't!"
Ash then stands up grabbing Narvi's arms and pushes her to bed and says.
"Because Narvi is my important friend. I'll never allow you to disappear!"
Narvi hears and and cries.
"That's cheating! If you say something like that, then I'll…"
"What is it, Narvi!?"
But Narvi keeps silent.
However, Ash can't look away from Narvi's body either. He thinks that Narvi is cheating, making that kind of face to him until he almost can't endure it.
Just a little bit before Ash's reason and rationality will fall down, Ash feels like something unusual has happened to his spirit body. He feels like being sucked away from there.
Narvi notices Ash's condition and tells him.
"Ash! there's someone touching your body. Hurry up and go back to your real body!"
"Hey, you filthy insect!"
Ash is still sleepy.
"Please, I beg you! Let me sleep a bit more!"
Suddenly, Ash wakes up. He believes that Eco woke him up. But when he open his eyes. He see Eco asleep hugging the dragon doll.
An outcry is then heard.
"Where are you looking at!? I'm this way!"
When Ash looks up, he finds Ceres standing on him.
Ash asks in surprise.
"What!? How come you're here standing on me!? Please, I beg you! Stop standing on me, it really hurts!"
But Ceres just increases the stepping force.
But then Ash catches a sight of something amazing. Ash then asks Ceres.
"You're wearing black underwear, right?"
Ceres is surprised and immediately lets her feet out.
Ash quickly rises up. But Ceres hands over something to Ash.
Those things are female student uniform, long haired wig and female underwear. Ceres then tells Ash to wear them.
Ash is upset that he has to dress as a girl again. He then asks Ceres why he has to do this.
Ceres replies.
"Stop complaining you filthy insect! Didn't you hear what I just told you?"
Ceres then brings out a pistol to threaten Ash.
Ash asks Ceres if she's threatening him. He asks further if it's the will of Oscar.
But Ceres replies.
"This doesn't concern Oscar-sama. Don't ask me anymore! just do what I say! or do you want me to…"
Ceres then turn the gun to Eco who is asleep.
Ash has no choice but to obey Ceres.
Ceres takes Ash to ride on dragon taxi. She tells the rider to send them at Rubinea Lake.
Ash asks Ceres what they're going to do there.
Ceres tells Ash to make sound like a girl since he's now Ashley.
Rubinea Lake is the place where people like to go picnic. However, because today is the last day of the festival, no one comes here.
Ash ask Ceres.
"Are we here for fishing?"
Ceres replies.
"Who's gonna go fishing with you!? Do you see that old cabin over there? Go inside!"
However, the cabin's door is locked.
Ceres then brings out unlocking device to unlock the door.
Ash asks Ceres why she brings something like that with her.
Ceres replies that it's typical for maids to bring the tool with them.
Ash responses that there's no maid like that.
"Go inside!"
Ceres pushes Ash onto bed before pushing him onto bed to tie both his hands.
Ash smells mint fragrant perfume from Ceres.
Ceres tells Ash that he's a very good looking girl. Better looking than her despite being a boy.
But Ash tells Ceres that she's very cute, really really cute.
Ceres blushes because no one has have told her something like this before.
Ash uses this opportunity to ask Ceres what her goal is.
Ceres tells him that her master is going to start his plan now.
Ash asks Ceres if her master is king Saragias.
Ceres doesn't response. But then Ceres tells him.
"Something's going to happen in the arena. You'll be safe if you stay here. Just for today! Please stay here!"
Ash doesn't understand what Ceres means.
But Ceres cut the conversation by kissing Ash mouth to mouth while inserting tongue into Ash's mouth.
Ash thinks that Ceres's kiss taste like peppermint.
Suddenly Ash feels like something has passed through his neck. When Ceres pulls out her mouth, there are cables of drool following her mouth.
Ash then feels heavy and very sleepy.
Ceres tells Ash.
"Don't you worry! It's just sleeping pill. Whatever will happen in the future, I want you to remain friend with Oscar. When you're out, please support her! because only you that I can't let to die!"
Ash doesn't understand what Ceres is going to do or who is she going to fight. He then falls asleep.
When Ash falls asleep. Ceres is thinking about their kiss and feels something unusual until she blushes. She then tries to tell herself.
"It wasn't like that! That was the fastest way to make him take the pill! It couldn't be help!"
Ceres then takes off her maid uniform and wear black robe with magic symbols all over. She then tells herself.
"Because I am Pluto's children. I can't walk the same path as you. Oscar."
Ceres then turns to Ash and tells him.
"You filthy insect, no. Ash Blake! No matter what Oscar will do, please believe in her until the end!"
First off, thank you very much for the summary.
About the complaints, most of those are actually justified.
For Serei and HnA, the tsundere is extremely popular in Japan. Probably because of the contrast to the Yamamato Nadeshiko.
For Heavy Object, yes they are.
For SAO, yes. Kirito is the strongest. Because the death game ended, technically "Kirito" doesn't exist anymore. Kazuto the game player can beat nearly everyone anyway, except that new girl in vol 9 (doesn't she die, though?), but "Kirito" can literally override the game system if Asuna is in danger. Or he's pissed.
For Campione, training wouldn't help. This is actually lampshaded in the story. Because the powers they use are so ridiculous, individual training doesn't really matter. For example, both Luo Hao and Doni are at the top of their respective disciplines. Godou beat Luo Hao unconcious and cut Doni in half.
At least that is actually a reasonable real world excuse to be a jerk.
Modern warfare shows too huge difference between enlisted and officer ranks.
And Quenser is just a field student.
No one seems to respect him as the one who destroyed several OBJECTs. A feat no one can ever do, repeatedly.
And Baby Magnum always loses.
Kamachi's sense of naming is weird too. maybe he just wants unique names.
As for Campione!
Dude, they said that training doesn't cut it for campione since they only need to fight and gain experience from real battle.
But seeing Goudo has to be protected by his harem quite often, from average opponents, make me think that he's too impractical. He doesn't even try to learn anything regarding magic, relying on mouth-to-mouth knowledge transfer only, and he has the nerve to say he does not like it. Most other campione are far more knowledgable than him about this.
And when Goudo confronts Veretragna who brags about challenging any enemies even when he's in disadvantage, Goudo has the nerve to be pissed off. He's basically worse since he has no knowledge of his oppoents to create the golden sword, and has to rely on the girls, every time.
Now back to the topic, Cassandra is really evil. She seems to be more evil than Uriel. Considering that Mordred is sleeping inside her and doesn't even wake up yet. I suppose there's no need for Mordred to possess Cassandra. I just hope we won't just forgive that bitch easily, while killing mooks because they aren't hot.

I don't know about reason- we each have our own reason for liking what we like, but personally it just feels like those writers are cashing off on ZnT's success without realizing how much of a bad idea is it to borrow the worst idea from that series.
As for why ZnT? Well, they're all MF Bunko titles after all.

You're right about people having different preferences, but the whole "pettanko tsundere with violent tendencies" became popular because shows like ZnT and Shakugan no Shana were extremely popular in Japan. While at the very least the people in this forum seem to dislike tsunderes, we aren't very high on the authors priority list, since we don't pay anything.
Edit: Incidentally, I actually like the character if done well. Eco is probably my favorite.
Actually, I'm trying to improve my artwork while I'm not studying. I hope that one day, I'll make a harem manga, with all tsundere like Louise getting dumped...

There's a BIG difference between Dengeki's Shana and MF's Louise... Though this is not the place to discuss it.

I almost never notice that Shana is supposed to be a tsundere since season 2. The difference between Shana and Louise is too vast, I kind of wonder if people are in their right mind saying Shana to be the same type as Louise.
The most tsundere thing Shana does to Yuuji is shouting at him "Urusai, urusai, urusai!".
I haven't actually read/watched SnS, I was just told she was the original Tsundere. And I don't think anyone else goes as far as Louis.
btw, Kleeyok, if you make a harem manga, you should make it all tsundere. Then have them all get defrosted and become totally dere-dere. Alternatively, skip the first part and just do dere-dere. Like HighSchool DxD (which I just noticed could be read as HighSchool DerexDere)

Dude, defrosting ice queen is for coodere, the ice queen type, not the hot-blooded sadistic violent girls who'd just keep pestering you.
BTW, it seems like Uriel is the typical manipulative bastard who thinks he's so smart, looking down on others and kind of breaks down when he's losing. I still have to wait for detail about the fight against him though.
