“I see … are there transfer circles or any transportaion of that sort here?”

“Yes, Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei used Transfer Magic to reach this island while Daijiro-sama used a magic tool called an airship to come here.”

 

I asked 417 if there was any way to escape from this island but neither ship nor transfer circle was present on this island.

Daijiro-san actually created an airship in this world … he’s seriously impressive. Isn’t that a vehicle that can only be obtained at the final stages in role-playing games?

 

“Oh right, 417 is a mouthful so …”

“Only master can set a name. Would you wish to set one?”

“Ehh … ah, since I don’t have any naming sense. 417 … Yoina … no, Shiina then.” (TL: He’s just joining the numbers 417 in Japanese, 4 = Yon or ‘Shi’, 1 = ‘I’chi, 7 = ‘Na’na)

 

I just read the numbers as they were but,

 

“It’s basic but it is easy to call so Shiina, yup, it would be Sheena if I match this world’s language. Is it alright?”

“Yes, that’s wonderful, Ichino-sama. I think it is a wonderful name.”

“Understood. My name shall be set as Sheena No.3.”

“Why number 3!?”

“Famiris‧Raritei-sama and Daijiro-sama also set Sheena No.3’s name as Sheena so I appended the number 3 to distinguish between them.”

“Serious … they all named you Sheena? But, just now you said you don’t have a name.”

“That is because the two of them called me Sheena but they did not set my name as it.”

 

I see, so they just called her that without going through the trouble of setting her name.

Uwa, it’s slightly embarrassing.

But it is kind of strange to hear the name Sheena No.3, as if she is a different person compared to number 1 and 2.

 

“Erm, Ichino-sama. I have a question, why did everyone call her Sheena?”

“Eh? That’s naturally because 417 is read as Sheena … wait?”

 

That’s wrong, 417 is only read by Japanese as Sheena.

Americans would definitely not read 417 as Sheena. Only the Japanese language reads 4 as ‘Shi’ … I think.

 

What does this mean?

I understand the reason why Daijiro, a Japanese person, called her Sheena but why did the Demon Lord, a resident of this world, call her that?

 

“It is unlikely … to be just a coincidence. Hey Sheena. Could you tell me what you know about the Demon Lord?”

“I apologize. Even if you are my master, I cannot reveal information on the previous master.”

” … I see, no, my bad. Since the Demon Lord should be something like a parental figure to you. You won’t be able to betray him/her.”

“No, it is because I have been ordered so. Originally, I would, by all means, want to expose every single detail about that selfish arrogant Demon Lord and even include some half-truths. He/she abandoned Sheena No.3 for over a hundred years after he/she made me.”

” … Eh?”

 

I doubted my ears when I heard those bitter words coming from the expressionless Sheena No.3.

I thought for sure she was a robot-like being.

 

“We would be troubled as to how to judge the information if you included half-truths in them.”

 

Said Carol.

No, I don’t think that is the issue here though.

 

Those words showed a completely opposite image of the Demon Lord I heard from Haru, a completely different feel.

Well, I guess personality can change over the span of more than 80 years?

Now that I think about it, just how old was the Demon Lord?

 

After that, I asked her about the location of the island this facility was built on.

We were on a solitary island to the south of the Western Continent we were previously on, or to the west of the Southern Continent and the nearest continent was 300 kilometers away.

300 kilometers … it is a somewhat feasible distance by boat.

 

After hearing our detailed position, it seemed like Carol was thinking of an escape plan.

 

Haa, so I still don’t know the reason why I was transferred here.

During that time, monsters appeared on the monitor — and the monkeys that were at the hot spring just now came by and defeated the monsters.

It seemed like the facility wasn’t only made up of traps as it also utilized the monkeys to exterminate the monsters.

 

“It’s strange. It’s unthinkable that monsters would appear at such a pace for an island like this.”

“The magical beast that devastated the coastal waters of the seas around this island has been sealed. Because of that, it became easier for miasma to accumulate and monsters to appear. If Sheena No.3 wasn’t here, there is a high possibility that this island would become a monster’s nest.” (TL: It’s unclear if it is a single beast/monster that has been sealed or a bunch of them)

 

She had an expressionless face as usual but somehow I felt that she definitely had a smug look on her.

 

“Although that seal would be released within another 48 hours.”

” …… Eh?”

“Even after Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei-sama was defeated, the seals she constructed at the four corners of the world that serves as a foundation for the barrier had remained strong but a part of that barrier has been unsealed so the monster of this island is reviving. That’s why I believe that if you wish to leave this island, it is better to do so soon. If not — ”

 

She said.

If not, we would definitely be annihilated by the revived monster of this island …

  2. OhMarioWV

    Thanks for the chapter.

    Why do I want Miri to save them?

    • k

      …I don’t want her to meet him right now though. He’s still not strong enough to deal with her’s…mentality, I feel like. Maybe you want a reunion scene and a “Look how strong onii-chan come to be” scene, but for a one that doesn’t want to lose love rather than create one, and the MC is with Carol right now…

      • Imanassholetoo

        Yep, don’t let them meet yet. My reason though is i want more Miri chapters. If possible, make miri the MC lol

      • Crywolf641

        I doubt no matter how strong he becomes. He would still be weak in front of the demon lord who’se powers is sealed. And the fact that he spoils her.

  3. k

    thank for the update

  4. Nyamsus

    An airship can only obtain during final stage???

  5. Abyssal

  6. Mikan

    I was expecting something different for this chapter xP

  7. Philippe Spalla

    thanks for the chapter XD

  8. Thanks for the chapter XD

  9. J

    Its weird to call you 417 so I will name you 417 in a different language? I can only scratch my head on that one.

    • StealthAria

      ‘Shiina’ is more of a portmanteau or acronym, the 417 it comes from is much longer in japanese, the Japanese are fond of using such a trick.

  10. Vash the Stampede

    Why did the Demon Lord seal her own power?

    • Vash the Stampede

      And as a follow up question, why did Miri not remember the locations where she personally sealed her own power?

      • Ara ara, Ufufufu

        on addition, why Miri did not able to sense her own onii chan powers??

        • natc

          . . . What would she even be able to sense? He’s basically just a really high level guy who stumbled upon a system exploit. Even his classes are common ones, he doesn’t have any weirdness regarding his existence like being Demon Lord class.

    • Nyesh

      I thought that Daijiro sealed her power (such as that sword in that mountain cave)?

      Also, I’m recalling Final Fantasy 1, where there were four seals, each associated with an element, and each in a different corner of the world map. We have unsealed a seal in a mountain cave (earth), and now we have briefly unsealed (soon to be completely unsealed, once Miri arrives) a seal on an isle surrounded by 100s of km of sea (water). So there should also be a fire seal (maybe in a volcano or – given this story – a hot spring somewhere) and an air seal (on top of a mountain or on a floating island), after which a final seal can be released.

      My guess is they leave just in the nick of time, Miri arrives minutes later and destroys the now unsealed beast(s), and then she unseals the sea and becomes even stronger. Then she returns and learns to her agitation that she just barely missed meeting Haru. I wonder, though, if she will learn that Haru is travelling with her oniichan?

      • Yeah Nyesh is correct, most likely the seals were made when the Hero defeated Miri and Daijiro just utilized the hidden away labyrinth in a hidden island as the best place to safeguard it.

  11. Ara ara, Ufufufu

    and then, ultraman came and save them from pinch..

  12. Thanks for the chapter

  13. SFcipher

  16. Meatbun Delivery~
    Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)

    Time attack mode~

  17. CCaprice

    Thanks for the chapter.

  18. If it’s not Miryuu’s plan to teleport him there, and the current goddesses don’t really know… who is it ? The forgotten 7th goddess ? She possibly lost her body and most of her abilities but still lives on as the System somehow ?

  19. DRAGO

    Ok, this is terrible but the first thing I thought was “so that would make you Shiina-san (417-3)”.

  20. Jago

    And so Sheena was added to the harem.
    Think about it: the base is going to be destructed. Ichinoja will not leave her there to die.

    About the seals: I think there are two different sets of seals, the seals that keep Famiris power constrained and the seals Famiris put up to constrain the monster.
    Sheena said:
    ““The magical beast that devastated the coastal waters of the seas around this island has been sealed. ”

    “Although that seal would be released within another 48 hours.”

    “Even after Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei-sama was defeated, the seals she constructed at the four corners of the world that serves as a foundation for the barrier had remained strong but a part of that barrier has been unsealed so the monster of this island is reviving. That’s why I believe that if you wish to leave this island, it is better to do so soon. If not — ”

    It is interesting to note that at the height of her power Faramis was unable to destroy the monster and only confined it.
