You really should. It is quite unique as a fantasy novel with all the military stuff and politics. The publisher even have free pdfs for the first few chapters on their site so it is quite convenient too.geez, being a sucker for fantasy, I might end up reading this.

You don't care about the plot or the story in obligatory onsen episodes. You throw them out of the window and enjoy the fanservice.LGear wrote:Just saw the titles for the two spinoff stories posted on the Project Page, "The Episode of Steaming Hot-springs " and "The Episode of Thriving Business". I wonder what the deal is with the sidestories, and their story...
Well, I never said I was averse to fanservice...Doraneko wrote:You don't care about the plot or the story in obligatory onsen episodes. You throw them out of the window and enjoy the fanservice.![]()
As for the second one, I haven't read it yet so I can't answer you. But it is too bad that there is no update for more than one year.
Tackling this again as promised.wellis wrote:Alright. One more question, can you show the scenes where Rori Mercury, Leilei La Lalena, and Tuka Luna Marceau are met by the protagonist? Also can you post the scene where the Emperor realizes the invasion attempt was a failure?
At dusk, the gang of bandits were sitting next to a campfire. In celebration of their success they were indulging themselves with the prize of their raid.
Among the victims’ belongings, there were not only valuables, but also food that could sustain the family for a reasonably long period. After filling their stomachs with delicacies, everyone was eager to lay his hands on the mother and daughter. But even for bandits, the senior ones could satisfy their beastly lusts first and enjoy drinking afterwards, while everyone else had to wait for their turn.
"Boss, seems like they are from the Koda village. The villagers are escaping from a dragon, and are moving slowly because they have so much to carry. Sounds like an easy target. How about attacking them? There’s simply no reason not to. Let’s do it!"
Seeing his subordinate talking so eagerly, the head of the bandits smiled complacently. This isn’t a bad idea. Just do that. The head initially shared similar views. But…
"Well, we don’t have not enough folks here."
With less than twenty men under him, a caravan as large as a village is too big as a prey.
"Just spread the word and get more people to join us. We’ll then be able to clear this big job - a big job that we could never clear in the past."
This also makes a good opportunity to recruit new gang members, the bandit head thought.
With enough men under him, he would be able to attack towns and villages. If everything went fine he might even be able to drive out a feudal lord and become one himself. From a bandit to a lord. From living a hand-to-mouth existence like every other bandit, to becoming a ruler. The bandit head was indulging in a short, ephemeral dream.
A bandit known by no one. For a person to meet his end while he was having a happy dream, is this a fortune or a misfortune?
There was a heavy sound of a head hitting the ground. Rolling and rolling, the head stopped right next to the fire. With a frizzling sound, there was a unique smell of burnt hair.
Biologically, when a person is decapitated, he still remains conscious for a few seconds. If this is true, the bandit experienced the instant when his head hit the floor. With the world rotating in front of his eyes, before realizing what actually happened, he had witnessed how blood gushed out of the lump of meat that was previously his body, and how the shaking lump eventually fell onto the ground.
With his vision darkening rapidly, he saw a goddess of death with long black hair bathed in his own blood.
Anyone who sees the girl always immediately thinks of "black": dark black hair on white, porcelain-like skin, black dress, and a pair of eyes that are as black as bottomless darkness.
With a whizzing sound, the head of the bandit cut into the air.
What the girl was holding was a heavy halberd. A halberd is an axe blade which looks like a heavy piece of metal attached to a long pole. This is clearly not a weapon for a petite girl to swing around. Neither is it something fit to be held by a girl in a frilled dress. It certainly defies logic further to see it being swung by a delicate arm as thin as a willow, and fingers as tiny as ice fishes.
Resting the heavy axe on her shoulder, a voice, "heh", came out of her mouth. While at the same time dead bodies of the bandits were piled up around her.
"Tee-hee-hee… Thanks a lot for tonight, Messieurs~"
The girl gently held her skirt and gave a curtsy.
From her appearance she seemed to be around thirteen. Her elegance and grace suggested good family background. On her face was a beautiful smile. But inside her iris were bottomless darkness.
"Th~anks a lot for the generous donation of your lives. On behalf of the chief god I would like to sho~w my gratitude. The god said he is interested in your acts and love to taste you~"
"Wh… what! Who the heck are you!?"
The atmosphere was so heavy that the surviving bandits felt like their stomach were being filled up with ice. But a few of them brazenly bluffed. The mere fact that they were able to make a sound already deserves praise.
"M~e?" The girl made a cute smile.
"My name is Rory Mercury. The apostle of Emroy the god."
"Isn’t that the priestess outfit of the Emroy Temple? Are… are you one of the twelve apostles… Rory the Reaper?"
"O~h, you know that? Tee-hee-hee. Correct answer~"
Right in front of the giggling girl, the bandits ran for their lives.
Jo… Joking… Must be joking… No way can we fight against an apostle!
Different souls give different screams. But all of them were trying their best to run from the jaw of death.
"No w~ay. Yo~u can’t escape~"
Rory jumped. Carrying a gigantic metal that could easily be as heavy as her, she attacked the bandits like a vicious carnivore. Heads were splat open like water melons, with pieces like minced meat being spread all over the place.
"HYAA… AAH… HIK…"
In front of a man who lost his balance from fear stood Rory in a relaxed face. When she was trying to lift up the heavy halberd, she tottered a bit, but still managed to raise it up in the air.
Her porcelain-like skin was tainted into red by spurts of blood.
"Hehehe… The God has said~, man ultimately dies~, and can never escape from it."
The axe blade swang down. What immediately followed was a final death scream.
