(L) Hataraku Maou-sama! （はたらく魔王さま！） [Light Novel]

[SuitUp]

I got to say, I'm dumbfounded as to why the interest in translating this series (or hell, even translate the spoilers ) has died down, when the anime was such a hit and got lots of people interested :c

I have no clue either. I know a lot of people who *wish* it was translated.

[Kakurin]

Okay, so now I have the time, here's the translation of the full spoiler (question marks indicate either a technical term of which I was unsure how to translate, or something within a context not clear to me):

Spoiler for Vol.11 Spoiler:

- Emi did not have the opportunity to return the money Maou lent her yet and everybody else was telling her that it wasn't that urgent to repay it. But due to Maou's harassing she was adamant to return it as quickly as possible. Her father sighed that his daughter went as far as borrowing from the devil himself.

- Emeralda and Rika went to Emi's apartment but Emeralda didn't know how to use the intercom so she fumbled around until Rika decided to help her out.

- Afterwards Emeralda tells that after Emi followed Maou the remaining group split into two factions. One group with Albertio wanted to follow Emi and hunt for Maou, while the other group around Orba and Emeralda wanted to cleanse the remaining demons. In the end Emeralda convinced Albertio to let Orba follow Emi.

- However, Orba had already fallen (?), he knew the truth about heaven, the angels, as well as the church's corruption (?). After he had witnessed the heavenly transformation silver (?) he believed that he could become a god (not a real god, but rather the angels of Ente Isla's religion). So after Emi went through the gate he sealed it and saved Lucifer, before tricking Emeralda and Alberta into house arrest, using the excuse of finding Emi as a bait. He then went to Earth together with Lucifer in order to find and kill Maou and Emi, as he feared Emi, who possessed the silver, would become a god first. Following his defeat at the hands of Maou and Emi he was thrown into jail, whereof he was saved by Sariel and was tasked with finding some origin (?) shards under supervision by the angels. In the end he was nothing more than a puppet and a wreck after suffering defeat.

- Emi had possessed the sacred sword ever since her birth. The one kept by the church is revealed to be the core of the evilslayer's coating (?). Now that her father was found, Emi decides to find her mother for the sake of her daughter's happiness.

- Lucifer meanwhile was in a special sickroom of a hospital. There he could play around with his phone, as well as get onto the internet so he had his laptop set up there. Ashiya warned him to stop using the credit card.

- Next it was Nord's turn to tell a story. After Emi was taken away by the church he and the other villagers banded together to protect their homes. Although Nord possessed a shard of the sacred sword, it hadn't awoken yet so he was evicted by the demons and wandered along with the other refugees for nearly two years. After the war calmed down he returned to his home. While waiting for Emi his wife Laila (?) appeared.

- Laila as a measure of prevention wanted to grow her husband's sacred sword. Additionally she told Nord the truth, including the reason for giving the shards to him and Emi, the particles (?) and the tree of life, the real body of the angels, the identity of Maou and the legend of the demon lord Satan. She also told him that this war launched by the demons wasn't her intention and she didn't understand how the originally kind Maou went on to become like this.

- Laila further tells him that the angels are in reality only a race of bandits who robbed the god of creation of his position (?). In order to sustain their own prosperity they stole the future and faith of the people of Ente Isla. Therefore she wants to stop them.

- However, a year after Emi was born the angel form within Laila suddenly awoke and wings grew from her body. This burst of power alerted the the angels who found her. Laila had no other choice than to give Nord and Emi the two shards and left. Afterwards she did her best to deflect the attention of the angels away from the two of them and was continuously fleeing. But after Emi had grown up her powers were so strong, that they could no longer be hidden, so she told Nord to escape to Earth. As a matter of fact she also helped him prepare his registration, passport and bank account. Furthermore Nord's Japanese was also taught by Laila during their time together.

- After Nord settled down in Shinjuku he did as his wife told him and trained every day in order to grow the shard. Two months later Aegis (?) was born. After coming into being Aegis already had the appearance of a teen, was able to speak Japanese and had a large appetite. The savings Laila gave Nord was quickly used up so he had to look for work. After meeting Satou (?), with Aegis always wanting to move to a place from where the stars were visible, Nord moved to the vicinity of the observatory at Satou's suggestion and got a license, in order to do newspaper delivery.

- Returning to the site of MgRonald Maou tells Chi-chan that he was only harassing Emi to quickly return the money because he wanted to solve the manpower shortage at MgRonald. However, the topic somehow got out of hand and Chi-chan misunderstood it in a way that Maou wanted Emi to repay her debt using her youthful body and proceeded to scold him.

- Mao himself didn't really believe Emi would try to get work at MgRonald, so he was surprised when she showed up one afternoon seeking a job. Emi already knew the real reason why he harassed her. So she not only bowed her head to thank him, but also called him "Sadao-senpai". Maou was so surprised that he slipped on the stairs.

- On the first day of work for Emi Maou really wanted to skip, so he was already thinking about an excuse for three days, even considering using magic to fake sickness. But Ashiya was having none of it and forced him to go to work. The manager at MgRo knew that Emi and Maou knew each other so she assigned Maou to help her, which caused the other male employees to become very jealous of him.

[NeutralZero]

Now that looks like an interesting volume...
thanks for the spoiler...

Thanks! I knew it was something like this. The angels just wanted to maintain their place on top of the food chain. So Orba's going straight and who is Maou?

He's been constantly opposing our main characters so he's been a pain in the ass.

Spoiler for Vol.11 Continuation:

- Emi possesses a natural ability to quickly learn anything she tries her hands on, so already on the first day she does her work perfectly, prompting the manager to praise her saying the she even may surpass Maou. Maou meanwhile humbly asks Emi to stop calling him "Sadao-senpai", but rather "Mao-san".

- In the evening around 10 o'clock at the permission of the manager everybody's attending a birthday party at MgRonald's. Converted to the Earth's calendar Emi's birthday is on October 25th. Suzono's wearing modern / western clothing and together with Ashiya has prepared a picture frame as present. Rika's gift is a music box with a picture frame, while her daughter and father are giving her a hand-drawn picture of her together with Chi-chan, both smiling / laughing. Maou's giving a spoon. Emi's has two birds on it, while Chi-chan's has a flower on it (see second to last illustration).

- At the end, in the sickroom Lucifer's hair's turning silver (see the last illustration). The landlady's revealed to be the 11th particle (?). Laila's still eavesdropping from outside the sickroom.

If I remember correctly it is one trait of the angels. Note the hair colour change of Emi when she uses her powers, or the one with the silver hair and wings in the foldup of volume 11 (which I take is Emi's mother).

Spoiler for wut:

Sadao-senpai? She's going first-name basis with Maou?!

Sadao is his assumed family name, not his first name.

In fact RapidPotential is right, Sadao is indeed his first name.

Ack, I stand corrected. I forgot that Japanese name plaques are read right-to-left...
