(208) Home Return

Translator: Tseirp

Minerva-sama used a straw to sip lassi from a cup.

Even though she didn’t look like she was enjoying it, Miri said that she was.

After all, if she ate something she found unpalatable.

“Disgusting, let’s just die.”

She would say that and start killing herself.

She would commit suicide on impulse in that manner. Miri and I didn’t know how to stop her from trying to commit suicide.

I heard from Miri that — in her previous life as Kaguya, she had quite a terrible interaction with Minerva.

 

“Where’s this? I should have died …”

” … So noisy … I should just die.”

“Eh, why do you want to die all of the sudden! Wh-who are you!?”

” — If I die, I won’t have to answer such a troublesome question. Fufufu — ”

“At least tell me where this is.”

“It won’t matter where this place is if I die.”

 

It went something along those lines.

Leaving aside Koshmar-sama, I thought Torerul-sama was quite bad but it looks like Minerva-sama was even worse.

But she did properly bestow the Study of Medicine skill so if we take that into consideration, Malina who got the Street Performer job had it worse.

“Minerva, that’s enough right.”

“Oh, what’s the matter? Kaguya-chan.”

” ………… We came to ask about the contrivance that led to our transfer to this world.”

“Ah, it is regarding that. But I don’t know about it.”

The instant Minerva said that,

“「Dark Thousand Swords」”

Miri chanted and countless dark swords appeared.

And those swords were all pointed at Minerva.

“Miri, calm down. Erm, Minerva-sama — if that’s the case, do you have anything you can tell us for our sake? Maybe the secret to the world, a method to return to Japan, ah right. Or maybe about Metias-sama.”

“Metias. I have not heard that name in ages. Fufufufu. The Goddess of Life — the polar opposite existence to me, the Goddess of Death.”

“No no, you are the Goddess of Medicine. I wonder where that child is now.”

” … Eh?”

What? What was with that remark?

“Wait a moment. Isn’t the name Metias already dead?”

“She’s not dead. If it was that easy to die, I would have died a long time ago.”

No, you want to die on a whim but would actually hesitate to die.

“But Torerul is currently looking for her though. She was fuming. Because of you, she found traces of Metias and had to start working to look for her. That’s right, you just came into contact with Metias very recently. But I wonder what would happen if Metias revives. Will it be like that time — ”

“I will not let it turn out the same way!”

” … Oh, that’s right. You were there at the center of it at that time. Ah, right right. Kaguya-chan. Beware of the Church. Well now, I’ll send you guys back to your world.”

“Wait a minute!”

Miri stopped Minerva.

What was she planning to ask?

Just as I was guessing,

“It’s fine now.”

Miri commented.

 

At the same time, we appeared in the Goddess Statue room.

 

【Title: Labyrinth Conqueror IV has ranked up to Labyrinth Conqueror V】

【Clear reward skill: Lifestyle Magic III has skilled up to Lifestyle Magic IV】

… Ah, I somewhat had the premonition that would happen.

“Onii, how is it? Did you properly get Lifestyle Magic? Although I did actually choose to return at the timing where you would get Lifestyle Magic.”

“It was intentional!? Eh, you can actually do that?”

“Yeah. To this extent. Miri’s ability is something like Future Sight.”

“But you don’t have such a skill on your status page.”

“Ah, it’s not a skill but an ability I had since my previous life in Japan.”

“Hn? That means you made a killing in shares because?”

“Yeah, thanks to this ability.”

How absurd.

So Future Sight was actually real.

The situation was like a Light Novel Title — My younger sister’s Future Sight ability was too much of a cheat, my dignity as a brother was lost.

“But, although I call it Future Sight, I can only know the outcome of choices. For example, something like if a stock price will go up or down. Furthermore, I can’t see multiple futures. That’s why, this time I predicted Onii’s future so —”

Miri showed the scourer on the palm of her hand.

“As such, Miri’s future was uncertain. We wouldn’t get this outcome if we took turns to pray to the Goddess Statue though —”

“Did you become the Demon Lord because of that ability?”

“Kind of. When compounding as a Herbalist, when making medicine — hn, to make it easier for Onii to understand, it is split into failure, success, and great success. For example, when making a potion, failure would result in a low-quality potion, success in a regular potion and great success would result in a high-quality potion. So, the probability of a great success is extremely low but in exchange, the medicine will have amazing effects. The Limit Breaking Medicine Onii drank is actually a medicine that can be obtained with a 0.1% probability when compounding an Experience Potion.”

“So it was such an amazing medicine.”

That’s terrifying.

“Then, Onii. I’ll look for the Kiriri grass.”

“Hn? Ah, can I leave it to you? I’d like to check on the Lifestyle Magic IV spell.”

I said as I checked the magic list.

…. This is?

 

Home Return: Lv – ; Expenditure MP50

 

“Hn … Miri, what kind of spell is ‘Home Return’?”

“Just like the name implies, it is a spell that recalls you back to your home … in a sense. You’ll know once you cast it. It doesn’t suddenly activate but lets you choose your destination so you can cancel it.”

Ah, a spell to return home.

Isn’t that the most Lifestyle Magic-like spell up until this point?

But, won’t my home be My World?

“「Home Return」!”

 

My World

Quiet Beach‧Former Pirate Hideout (Miryuu)

Florence‧Margaret’s Clothes Shop (Margaret)

My World (Haurvatat)

Florence‧Margaret’s Clothes Shop (Norn)

My World (Carol)

My World (Marina)

 

Hn? What’s with all these.

“Miri … this. Your name is here too.”

“Yeah. That is a spell to transfer to the user’s home or to the home of a person of the opposite gender who has goodwill/affection towards the user. The return point differs among people and Norn would probably want to return to Florence but I don’t intend to do that so mine is probably set to the former pirate hideout I slept at until this morning?”

“Ah … so that’s how it works.”

 

I see, it is a spell to warp to the house of a person of the opposite gender who has goodwill/affection towards me.

I see I see. Although I get along well with Kannon and Stella, it is not to the extent of goodwill/affection.

 

” ― Isn’t it that kind of magic after all!”

And also ―

“Why is Margaret-san considered as the opposite gender! That guy is the same gender as me!”

My angry shouts reverberated inside the Goddess Statue room.

  2. The Butt Wizard

    It wouldn’t at all surprise me if you caught up with the raws at this rate. Last I checked, you were updating faster than he does even without Patreon pages.

    I didn’t read any of what was there, just the sporadic upload dates.

  3. Anonymous

    That’s a harem skill If I ever seen one.

  4. The Butt Wizard

    “My World (Marina)”

    If that one name weren’t included, just that one, it would be a complete list of everyone who would like to sleep with him.

    Unless she’s hiding something.

  5. Welp, it should be called Debauchery Magic already. Or author should at least make a pun with Sex(Sei) Magic with Holy(Sei) Magic

    Thanks for the chapter~~

    • The author already does lol since the quiet room and oil creation skill. Ichinojo calls it sex(sei) magic every time he tsukomi the skills.

  6. Thanks for the chapter.

    Oh boy… they made Margaret a heroine.

    • It’s probably just a joke the world is playing on the MC… or maybe Margret is Norn’s home… or… the world is a douche….

      • The Butt Wizard

        Nah, each one was connected to a person and not the place itself. To that end, yes, it considers Margaret a legitimate love interest (booty call).

        • Shade

          I believe it’s because Margaret identifies as a women, it connects him to places where “the home of a person of the opposite gender who has goodwill/affection towards the user”. it’s quite a progressive magic, but could potentially let you go to the home of some you you hate. IE: you hate them, but they love you.

      • The Butt Wizard

        Actually, I take it back now that I read the list again. You were right. It does seem to be their official residence as opposed to their current location. I saw “My World” and it threw me off.

  7. rooislangwtf

    Thanks

  8. natc

    Instant warping to your women’s homes?

    Sexual lifestyle magic strikes again.

  9. Mr.FunnyGuy

    the sexual life-style magic keeps improving! (NO MATTER WHERE OR WHEN, JUST SAY [HOME RETURN]! AND YOU’LL RETURN TO HOME THEN CAST SILENCE ROOM, MAKE USE OF OIL AND BABY YOU’RE GOOD 2 GO!)

  10. Emptybox

    More like “home invasion” or “yobai” magic…

  11. Thanks for the chapter~Nya…

  12. SFcipher

    Thanks for the treat.

  13. Deus Venatus

    Hmm… He can’t return from My World other than at the point the portal was opened from… So, if he uses Home Return to go to My World, how would that work? I know he can use Home Return to go to any other place (Margaret’s XD), but how would his My World portal work? Lol

    • Sylfa

      As far as we know he hasn’t opened his My World portal since the beach where he fought Miri-chan, so if he cast Home Return and went to My World he would then be able to open the portal to that beach and exit there.

      Assuming XXXX doesn’t trigger on direct warping when it’s thematically appropriate and pulls him off to another place where a disaster will strike in the next 72 hours… (Both 72 hours and the disaster trigger are guesses of mine btw.)

  14. Octa

    Margaret final boss

    • someone

      thanks for the chapter
      Margaret secret boss

    • Nyamsus

      Hidden route heroine..

      • The Butt Wizard

        Margaret? She was making overt advances on him from Day One.

        Marina though? I don’t buy it. She herself said she was an “unconquerable heroine,” verbatim. Maybe that was a flag in itself, but have we had any indication since to contradict it?

        • spoonikle

          While we call it “sexual” lifestyle magic… I am pretty sure your mother or sister or female childhood friend would be on the list.

          Its not only for people who have the hots for you – its any person of the opposite gender with an elivated level of affection.

          For our MC here, it may be 99% filled with girls who blush at the idea of an indirect kiss – for most people it would be a 50/50 split between family/friend love and lovers.

  15. Uni

    You conquered Margaret without even trying.
    You can(not) unconquer.
    Yorokobe shounen(mc)

    Thanks for the chapter.

  16. Abyssal

    Thank you for the chapter~

  17. Sky

    If he actually came into contact with Metias recently, and it’s obviously not going to be an obvious person, then that means…

    *long sigh* Centaur, you have some explaining to do… and a lot of your antics were intentional to steer this brother/sister pair in a certain direction.

  18. K~

    Hmmm, now I wonder what Lifestyle magic V will do. Let me guess, infinite vitality?

  19. Persons

    Being honest here. I am so glad about that come back in the end because I would not have noticed that at all

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

    Cause goddess heard what you said to margaret when you came to her/his shop the 2nd time..

  21. As expected, Kannon x Malina OTP !

  22. Kaleido

    Nope, Margaret has been officially recognized as trans by the omniscient omnipotent system, it can not be denied anymore!
