#1007 Hiking Season

This might bring up an old story, but...

Let me tell you about this one time...

Out of nowhere, someone suddenly declared, “Let’s start a mountain club!”

That someone was Golden Bat, an S-rank adventurer. After a bit of drama when he quit the Adventurer’s Guild, he got the wild idea to start a mountain club to compete with the gui...

#1006 The Saintess and the Virgin Goddess

The ground erupted in flames, and from those flames emerged a goddess.

You probably don’t understand what I’m talking about, but… Well, maybe you do.

This sort of thing isn’t too out of the ordinary on the farm.

If a phoenix can rise from the flames, why not a woman?

In this world, it’s just common sense.

Oh, and just to put your...

#1005 The Saintess’ Development

Heyyyy. It’s me again.

Feels like it’s been forever, huh?

Well, that’s because ever since Platy and the others announced their pregnancies, it’s been a whirlwind every single day.

Seriously, it was like a baby explosion.

Almost every couple we know is expecting, so we’ve been busy with celebrations, preparing for the births, and dealin...

#1004 The Birth of a New S-Rank Adventurer

Adventurer’s Guild, Reception Room.

I, Murshela, was suddenly ambushed by none other than the legendary Silver Wolf seated right across from me.

“Silver Wolf Martial Arts: Fang Crusher Fist!!!”

“Whoa-!”

I barely managed to react in time to the perfect surprise attack.

I dodged the first few rapid punches, maybe five,...

#1003 I, Who Have Been Told to Quit by an S-Rank Adventurer, the Guild Master Took Me In and Acknowledged My True Potential

I’m Murshela.

I’m an A-rank adventurer who has supported Lord Golden Bat until now, but today, I got fired.

The reason was that he wanted to try out an ‘expulsion template.’“

I have no idea what that means.

He said he wants to see what happens after he kicks me out, even though I’ve been his loyal sidekick for years.

#1002 An S-Rank Adventurer’s Assistant

My name’s Murshela.

I’m an A-rank adventurer under the Adventurer’s Guild.

Then again, it’s not that I’ve got a bunch of impressive feats under my belt or anything.

I just happen to be one of those lucky folks who just sort of slipped through the ranks to the top.

Kinda like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

In...

#1001 Maternity Rhapsody Real Finale: The Importance of Learning

t is I, Cronus, god of agriculture.

Thou art ever in need of friends.

At mine own signal, they come posthaste.

“Lord Cronus! What great calamity hast befallen?! Is it an invasion?!”

“Lord Michizane!!!”

Behold, ‘tis none other than mine own stalwart companion I met on the farm, Lord Sugawara Michizane!

Though a ...

#1000 Maternity Rhapsody Finale: Divine Realm Trials

I am Cronus, King of the Titans.

Today, summoned I was to the heavenly realm, and thought I, “What could it be?” Thus, I didst come hither.

Yet, the reception was rather ominous.

“Thou dost know why thou art summoned today, Father, hm?”

Before me stands a goddess, her veins throbbing with vexation...

She looks familiar...

#999 Maternity Rhapsody 8: Mendel’s Mystery

I’m Silver Wolf, the S-Class adventurer.

Whoops... Take two.

That was my old intro.

Now, I’m Silver Wolf, the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Old habits die hard, you know?

Last year, I finally retired from adventuring and fully took on the role of Guild Master.

Now I have more time and can handle my duties with ease, a...

#998 Maternity Rhapsody 7: A Rewarded Workaholic

My name is Mamoru.

A Heavenly One of the Demon King’s Army. They call me Mamoru the Coveted.

Back in my officer days, I earned the nickname Mamoru of the Shadows.

I got this name because I worked quietly and effectively in the background, supporting the Heavenly Four without drawing attention to myself.

I also had the task of constantly guarding the daught...

#997 Maternity Rhapsody 6: The Commoner Wife’s Counterattack

My name is Batemy.

A woman who’s lived quite the rollercoaster of a life.

I was born in a remote village near the border of the Demon Kingdom, where the old human army attacked and scattered my family.

Young and alone, I joined the Demon King’s Army to survive, quickly climbing the ranks to become an aide to one of the Heavenly Four.

But then, trouble kn...

#996 Maternity Rhapsody 5: And I Become A Father

My name’s Orkubo.

Orkubo the orc.

After work, I like to unwind at Bacchus izakaya next to the farm before heading home.

“...Boss, gimme a shochu with hot water, light on the water, please.”

“You’ve been coming here a lot lately, haven’t you?”

Have I?

Maybe. Or maybe I’m here every day.

...

#995 Maternity Rhapsody 4: Bitter Enemies in the Same Boat

I quit being Prime Minister!

Or, to put it another way, “Zoth Syra quits being Prime Minister!”

I mean, there’s no way I can juggle both raising a kid and being Prime Minister!

Being Prime Minister alone is tough enough! It’s a no-brainer!

And raising a child is just as demanding!

I’ve seen Platy and Puffer wrestling with their l...

#994 Maternity Rhapsody 3: The Female Prime Minister’s Troubles

Zoth Syra, the Witch of the Abyss, is here!!!

Hyah-hoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Dun cha cha, dun cha cha, dun cha cha chara holla, hey!!!

Bam bam bam! Gya-bam!

You’re wondering why I’m in such high spirits, aren’t you?

I’ve got a bun in the oven!!!

It’s real news!

After our beautiful wedding, we finally...

#993 Maternity Rhapsody 2: The Mystery Behind Dragon Ecology

Gwynn Dragon Bloody Mary, still in utter confusion!

“Calm down! Calm down, Mary! Don’t think too hard. It’s not good for the baby!”

Really, Father? This was your idea in the first place!

Are dragons born from eggs or do they give live birth?

Are we mammals or reptiles?!

If I switch from dragon form to huma...

#992 Maternity Rhapsody: A Mother Dragon in High Spirits

t is I, Bloody Mary, the Gwynn Dragon!

By the way, Gwynn Dragon is the title bestowed upon the wife of the Dragon Emperor, Geyser Dragon. You could call me the Dragon Empress, too.

The voiced consonant in “Gwynn” just makes it sound more powerful!

I don’t need my old title of Graugrinzel Dragon anymore!!!

After all, I’m the one and only ...

#991 A Battle Between Instructors

“Ha! The so-called Corrupted-Holy Sword’s clan is nothing but a bunch of weaklings! I, from the illustrious lineage of the Wild-Holy Sword Sechsweiss, will show you the true power of a high-ranking demon!”

“Again, you’ve got guts to make such reckless statements in front of me, the leader of that very clan.”

The farm student participating in the next match i...

#990 Heavenly Four Candidates?

“Y-You guys?!”

I am Demon Prince Goetia.

Right now, I’m absolutely stunned by the group that’s shown up in front of me.

Aren’t they... students from the Farm School?!

What on earth are they doing here at the Demon King’s Castle?!

“We were called here by Lord Belphgamilia,” one of the farm students says.

&...

#989 Enforced Education

I’m Prince Goetia, the Demon King’s son.

Lately, every day feels like a blast!

My father sent me to this farm, and everything here is so new and exciting!

I was not granted standard education, but three times a week, I use teleportation magic to go to the Farm School, and it’s a lot of fun.

Every time, I learn something completely new!

#988 Domination in the Form of Education

I am Zurbester, a demon.

Right now, I’m in the middle of a serious conversation with the Demon King.

“What in the world is going on, Your Majesty?!”

Prince Goetia’s study hours have been drastically reduced!!!

My family has been responsible for educating young demon princes for generations. As the current head o...

#987 A Child’s Duty  

“Okay, so...”

Thus begins the new term at the Farm School.

Sensei introduces the new student to the class.

“Everyone, meet your new friend, Goetia. Let’s all get along and help each other learn.”

“OKAY, SENSEIIIIIIIIIII!!!”

The kids at Farm School are generally nice, so it looks like Goetia will be w...

#986 The Demon Prince in the Saint’s Eyes

It’s me again.

...That was one heck of a struggle.

I never expected the vegetables in the field to suddenly tech up and symmetrically dock and then, to top it off, say something like, “I shall transcend human and beast to become a god!” You’re vegetables, for crying out loud.

Stuff like this happens all the time on our farm. Come spring, the v...

#985 The Demon Prince’s Enrolment  

Natto.

At first, it was stinky and had a sticky texture, but once you get used to it, it becomes strangely addictive.

The slimy feeling starts to grow on you, and before you know it, you can’t stop eating it.

“Prince, as much as you enjoy the natto, we still have more of the farm to see, so let’s move on.”

Prompted by Belena...

#984 The Demon Prince’s Farm Study

“By the way, have you seen the human girl who’s clearing land as fast as those orcs?”

“Huh?!”

When I, Goetia, the demon prince, look closely, I notice someone kicking up a dust storm like an orc, but it’s clear they aren’t one.

Even from a distance, I can tell it’s a human girl.

No, wait. A mere human girl doing the work of a sup...

#983 The Demon Prince Visits

I’m Goetia, the Demon Prince.

I’ve come to check out this so-called “Saint’s Farm.”

My parents have been raving about it, showering it with praise.

But is it really that great? As the Demon Prince, it’s my duty to see for myself!!!

And so, here I am.

“So, this is the Saint’s Farm...?”

 ...

#982 The Demon Prince Sets Off

I’m Goetia, the demon prince.

I’m the eldest son of Demon King Zedan, who is also known as “the most formidable Demon King.”

As the prime candidate to inherit the throne, I’m expected to become the new Demon King one day.

That’s why I constantly undergo rigorous training to ensure I don’t embarrass myself as his son.

W...

#981 The God of Happy Endings

Continuing the chat with Cronus and Sugawara no Michizane.

So, what are you two plotting together?

Spill the beans.

First up, Sugawara no Michizane’s testimony:

“Hm-hm-hm... Oh, saint, dost thou know what kind of deity I am?”

“A god of curses?”

“Those were the wild days indeed...”

Okay, I...

#980 The Secret to Reproduction

The flurry of joyous announcements after Christmas just kept coming.

“Saint, saint! We did it! We did it!”

Rushing over with that exclamation is none other than Zoth Syra, the Witch of the Abyss.

A grin like that at this moment... Could it mean...?!

“We did it! Orkubo and I are having a baby!!!”

busy

i sincerely apologize for the lack of updates since last june 26, owing to a total of 8 delayed chapters so far. been sick on and off and haven't gotten the time to get on the PC as much. i do feel better now, but i have my JLPT (N1) exam tomorrow, which i am busy preparing for at the moment. as soon as that's done, it's back to catching up on backlogs (believe me it's always been on my mind). ...

#979 Cause and Effect

All right, we’ve got some news to share now that it’s springtime.

Mostly good news, too...

So, Platy, take it away!

“I’m pregnant with our third child!!!”

That’s the gist of it.

How exciting!

After Junior and Norito, another little one is on the way!

New life being created and ...
