This is
Yukkuri demasu...
Oh yeah...
Isaac useお前 Omae to call
Kazura. This is not considered as polite (and maybe impolite to some people) in
Japan.
Oh yeah… I
change tree copse to tree grove (I will change all the copses in previous chapters).
The reason is since grove is
a small forest while copse is a thicket of small trees or
shrubs. Maybe I should use woods instead… English is confusing….

Chapter 31: Visitor
of Fate
「I see. So, the army was only dropping by the village in order to conduct
marching practice as they did the inspection?」(Kazura)
「Yes. As usual, Father accompanied Isaac-san to inspect the village and he returned
to Isteria with the army. Everyone in the village was careful with their
conduct, no problems had occurred.」(Valetta)
Under the clear sky, Kazura was walking together with Valetta towards the
location where waterwheel Mk.2 was by the riverside, while receiving a report about
what had happened yesterday from her.
From what was heard from Valetta, it seemed like the recent strife was skillfully
dealt with.
Although there were dangerous proposals from the villagers, Valetta’s quick
wittedness was able to successfully divert them, and ended it peacefully.
It seems Isaac had been asking many things about waterwheel and the crops, and
though there maybe orders from Isteria to report in detail about the waterwheel
production method and farming techniques, it was something bound to happen
sooner or later.
「That’s good...... But, Valetta-san might be summoned to Isteria to give an explanation
about how to build a waterwheel...... I’m really sorry for making you into a
substitute.」(Kazura)
「Ah, you don’t need to apologize! If it’s only this, I have no problem
because Kazura-san has done so much to help. Furthermore, even if I do get
summoned, I will quickly return, as I will perform to my utmost ability.」(Valetta)
They conversed like this while walking, right up until they arrived at the water
channel where the waterwheel Mk.2 was installed.
Since Valetta had placed the wooden board yesterday to close the sluice
gate connecting the channel to the river, the waterwheel wasn’t moving at the
moment.
Valetta promptly approached the waterwheel’s side and looked at the axle part.
「It seems that this axle component had worn down during the operation......」(Valetta)
Valetta said this and Kazura replaced her to take a look at the axle component
when he arrived in front the waterwheel.
「Let’s see...... Ah, it has been surprisingly worn out. It’s good that it
was noticed before it snapped.」(Kazura)
Kazura confirmed the condition of the damaged axle in the stopped waterwheel,
and opened his notebook he to write down a memo in the middle of the sketch of the
waterwheel with red pen.
If they didn’t take any measure soon, then the waterwheel Mk.2 would become
useless.
「As expected, should either the axle or the bearings be reinforced with
metal or something similar to it?...... I could bring copper from Japan, but would
it be better to use goods purchased from Isteria?」(Kazura)
If the wood could be reinforced with either bronze or pure copper, it should
be able to protect the axle against abrasion from the friction when it rotates,
so there should be no problem in that aspect.
Given that this was correct, then it would be simple to bring in the
materials from Japan. However, to prepare in case Isaac or Isteria’s government
official would question about the supplier of the materials, it might be better
to procure them in Isteria.
「If we produced it in the village, it would be necessary to build a larger furnace.
The small furnace in the village can only be used to repairing tools, so it
co-.....!?」(Valetta)
Kazura was examining the axle and writing a memo on the notebook when
Valetta, who was talking behind him, stopped abruptly mid sentence. Wondering
if something had happened, he looked behind.
「How is the condition of the waterwheel?」(Voice)
「......」(Kazura)
When Kazura turned around, he was speechless, due to the sudden appearance of
the three soldiers.
Valetta was transfixed at the man at the man in front of her, whom seems to
be the commander ―― Isaac ―― while slightly trembling.
Even though Isaac threw the question in a friendly tone, the gaze in his
eyes was cold.
Meanwhile, the two soldiers, who were waiting behind Isaac, moved in to
surround Kazura and Valetta from both sides.
「Who are you? You are not an inhabitant of Grisea Village.」(Isaac)
When Isaac confirmed that his subordinates has surrounded Kazura’s group
from the side, he looked Kazura straight in the eyes and began demanding an explanation.
Kazura, whom had became the subject of questioning, had his thought process
temporarily suspended when he first saw the soldier in front of him due to the
suddenness of the event, but when he saw Valetta trembling uncontrollably
beside him, he ironically regained some of his composure.
Judging from the situation, the soldiers seem to have been waiting for
Kazura to appear here.
How could they had gotten wind of Kazura’s existence? He couldn’t get an
answer for this question right now, but he had to try breaking from this
desperate situation in one way or another.
If he failes to deceive them, then it wouldn’t be just Kazura, but Grisea
Village itself would fall into unpleasant situation.
Instead of Valetta who had fallen into a state of panic, Kazura must deal
with it himself.
「I-Isaac-san, this is......」(Valetta)
「You, be silent!」(Isaac)
Isaac glared at Valetta, who was trying to cut into the conversation, and forbade
her from further dialogue, before staring straight into Kazura’s eyes once more.
「Answer immediately. Or have you any reason to not be able to answer?」(Isaac)
Kazura observed the man, who was glaring at him.
「(So this person is Isaac? He’s quite young)」(Kazura)
He thought in a relaxed manner, while deciding on how he would reply to
Isaac for a few seconds.
Isaac, who was in front Kazura, if he was the very person described by
Valin and Valetta, then there was still a silver lining.
Even if he wouldn’t listen to Kazura’s story, the possibility of him to suddenly
be sentenced to death by hanging would be very low.
Although, there wouldn’t be any changes in this critical situation.
「......I am a travelling merchant. While I getting lost and was wandering
around this area, I arrived at Grisea Village, and so I was allowed to live in
the village for a little while.」
When Kazura answered this way, Isaac didn’t show any particular expressions,
and changed his focus towards the notebook that Kazura held in his hand.
「Merchant......huh? Then let me see the book in your hand.」(Isaac)
Kazura handed over the notebook to Isaac, and told the frightened Valetta in
low voice that everything will be fine, and smiled.
Isaac received the note and stroked the cover with his finger. He made a
little grunt due to the quality of the paper, before flipping through the pages
「......blueprint or waterwheel. There are other things written here, but......
Are you the one who designed this waterwheel?」(Isaac)
「Yes, that’s correct.」(Kazura)
「I have never seen these letter on the book, so which country are you from?」(Isaac)
Kazura gave Valetta a smile to calm her down, but it was hard for him to come
up with a good plan in this short time period.
When he had first arrived in the village, he told the villagers 『I am a merchant』 as a reply to
fill the conversation, however if he keeps giving out poorly alibis like this,
then the situation would only become worse.
It seemed that right now, it was necessary for him to strengthen his
resolve.
「I came from the world inside the tree grove near Grisea Village, I think
you would understand what I mean, right?」(Kazura)
「......What did you say?」(Isaac)
The reply was so unexpected, that Isaac unconsciously questioned at Kazura
again.
The two soldiers who surrounded Kazura’s group also had this befuzzled
expression, as if to say “what has this guy talking about?”
While receiving their gazes, Kazura took a deep breath, and then began speaking,
his eyes on Isaac.
「I said, I came from the God’s Realm to save the people in Grisea Village.」(Kazura)
「......」(Isaac)
Having heard Kazura’s reply, Issac’s group gaped at each other.
Due to an answer that they didn’t expect, their befuddled expression could
be plainly seen.
In front of them, Kazura gave off an external feeling of a truly dignified
person, however, inside his heart he was actually gushing cold sweat for doing
something he wasn’t accustomed to.
If Kazura could return to village and show some of the tools that he had brought
from Japan to Isaac, then he would have confidence that if he convincingly say that
it were 『Goods from God’s
Realm』 then he could obtained
their recognition. However, right now, there was only a pen and a note in his
hand.
While Kazura was thinking if he could obtain their recognition by showing
them even a cellphone after returning to the village for the time being, Isaac continued
his inquisition, his expression still showing some doubt.
「Wasn’t it you yourself who said that you were a merchant who wandered
around this area before arriving at this village? Your answer isn’t consistent.」(Isaac)
「...... That was only a figure a speech. You see, even a merchant in God’s
Realm could lose his way. While I was lost and arrived in Grisea Village, wouldn’t
I have to wander for a while in the middle of the tree grove?」(Kazura)
When the inconsistencies of his statements were pointed out, Kazura gave
his answer in desperation. However, guessing from Isaac’s expression, this only
fanned the flames of his doubt even more.
「No, did you just said that you live-.......」(Isaac)
「I-It’s true! This person is Greysior-sama who benevolently came from God’s
Realm to save the village!」(Valetta)
When Isaac wanted to continue poking at the contradictions in Kazura’s
statement for the second time, Valetta raised her voice to cover for Kazura.
As expected, if the previous situation kept progressing, it would end badly
for Kazura.
......By throwing the keyword “Greysior”, even if there were another
contradiction, it wouldn’t matter anymore.
「Gre...... What did you say?」(Isaac)
「It’s Greysior-sama!」(Valetta)
「Are you saying this man is Greysior-sama?」(Isaac)
「That’s right!」(Valetta)
Valetta firmly gave her affirmation, Isaac let out a sigh with a dejected
expression.
「...... I’ve never heard of Greysior-sama being a merchant.」(Isaac)
「......Ah」(Valetta)
「No, even in the God’s Realm there is still commerce....」(Kazura)
Ignoring Kazura who was still trying to gloss out the error, Isaac gave an
order to the soldier beside Kazura.
「Bind his hands.」(Isaac)
✦✧✦✧
Inside the quiet forest, the aide who received the messenger’s report from
Isaac, issued instructions for the subordinate soldiers that were gathered in
the surrounding area.
The soldiers who received the order had a stiff expression, everyone were
equally nervous.
「Our objective is to confine every villagers inside their own house. The
instructions afterwards will be given when the Captain returns, so until then,
no one is allowed to leave their posts.」(Aide)
「Vice-Captain.」(Soldier)
After the aide gave his instructions, one soldier raised his hand.
「If by some chance the villagers resist, could we perform our duties in a
much more physical manner?」(Soldier)
The soldier inquired, swinging the short spear in his right hand. The aide immediately
shakes his head.
「No you can’t. If they showed some reluctance, you mustn’t immediately assault
them. Persuade them to remain in their house to your utmost abilities. If it’s futile,
then you may report tome.」(Aide)
When the aid said these words, the majority of the soldiers showed various
displeased expressions.
They thought that they were in the army, not to mention there were nobles,
so why must they deal with mere peasants in a courteous manner?
Even for the male aide, had he been the Captain, he would have allowed
violent behaviors if it was deemed necessary, as long as it could reliably
accomplish their task at hand. However, the Captain was Isaac, who wouldn’t approve
of such conduct.
Since this unit was established one year ago, he had acted together with
Isaac as his aide, so he roughly understood how Isaac thinks.
Based on his action, he thought he might be able to get high evaluation.
「This is an order. Objections are unacceptable.」(Aide)
The aide then gave out the command,
「Alright, commence your individual task.」(Aide)
The subordinates began to move.
✦✧✦✧
As Isaac’s subordinates executed the operation to gain control of Grisea
Village., Kazura’s group was moving towards Grisea Village.
Kazura’s arms were tied behind his back, the knot secured tightly and seemed
difficult to seem to unfasten.
From another person’s perspective, he looked no different from a criminal.
Valetta who walked beside Kazura wasn’t tied up, but there were two
soldiers closely watching her while following behind her.
「This...... It can be used to write without having to dip it in ink?......」(Isaac)
Isaac was using the ballpoint pen that he had confiscated from Kazura, and
tested writing with it on the piece of parchment that he brought while walking.
Unlike the quill pen that Isaac normally used, then pen could write letters
without having to dip it in ink every time.
This was the first time he had used a pen this convenient, Isaac made a
small nod.
「That thing is called a ballpoint pen. If we returned to the village, there
are other tools that I had brought from the God’s Realm.」(Kazura)
While he sad this, he was reminded of his personal goods at the residence
in the village.
When he had returned to the village this morning, he had stored not only
the travel bag, but also the carry case his father handed to him, in his
personal room at the residence.
He didn’t confirm the content of the carry case, but there might be one or
two goods that could attract Isaac’s interest.
Furthermore, Kazura estimated that the content of the travel bag would be
enough to serve as proof that he came from God’s Realm. So his mental state was
relatively calm.
Although the conversation between them near the waterwheel just now only sowed
distrust in Isaac, if Kazura could show the tools he brought from Japan, it
would work out somehow.
「There is one more thing I want to ask.」(Isaac)
Isaac, whose eyes were fixed to the pen, stopped walking and turned around
towards Kazura.
「You, how many days had passed since you came to Grisea Village?」(Isaac)
「Let see...... If I remember correctly, it was maybe just over 30 days.」(Kazura)
Receiving Isaac’s question, Kazura recalled the date of the day he resigned
from his company and today’s before giving his answer.
To be exact, it had been 34 days since the day he first arrived in this other
world.
「30 days...... I previously visited this village 20 days ago......」(Isaac)
Isaac murmured and showed an expression as if he was thinking about
something in silence, before once more started walking forward.
The other two soldiers also didn’t say anything to their superior, only
walking in silence.
Kazura looked at Valetta who walked beside him. Just like Isaac, she was
thinking about something and walking in silence.
Perhaps, she was thinking about what she should do when they arrived at the
village.
「(Before reaching the village, I need to at least untie this rope...... The
current situation is no different from the Greysior in the legend......)」(Kazura)
If the villagers see Kazura with his hands tied behind his back, in the
same manner as was told in the legend, there was a possibility that the
villagers would begin an uprising to protect Kazura.
While en route to examine the condition of the waterwheel in the river, Kazura
heard about yesterday’s commotion between the villagers and Valin from Valetta,
so he thought that the possibility for the villagers raising their weapons would
be tremendously high.
Time before Kazura’s group arrives at Grisea Village: 20 minutes.
The Wheel of Fate began to move on a
grander scale.

*CLIFF*
NEXT WEEK:
KAZURA ARRIVED AT THE VILLAGE!
What will happen?
Oh yeah, I'll
buy the LNs this month... But due to my imouto forbidding me for using her
Credit Card to buy LNs from Amazon... I need to open a bank account in my own
name, and apply CC with my name... (could you believe that in this age and time
there still someone didn't have a bank account and CC? believe me, there's a
lot)
Sorry for the
late. At the very least I will release Prologue and Chapter 1 of Kuro no
Iyashite LN Volume 1 in March... Sorry for the inconvenience...
Surprisingly...
There is no footnote on this chapter... How boring...

ReplyDeleteHey, I was wondering if you still need more editors? I edited chapter 8 of takarakuji - https://goo.gl/upyOa9
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think^^
I also commented on chapter 30 a while ago, but I don't think you saw it :p
DeleteSorry... I haven't touch the net (or my email) until recently... since I haven;t paid my internet bull :P
DeleteAnyway... I'll gladly receive your help. Maybe you can help me edit Chapter 34 (I send you the links later)
If the editors still have some difficulty editing chapter 32 and 33. I also will ask for your help.
You can contact me at mrmantius@gmail.com :D
DeleteI don't have a CC myself. CC has a bad reputation in my country following the 1997 Asian Economic Meltdown. It was because the credit card companies doggedly pursued those who couldn't pay the bills, even leading to thousands being declared bankrupt because they couldn't afford to pay the bills and had their businesses seized by court order.
ReplyDeleteBut I do have to wonder who doesn't have bank account, since in my country, every company pays straight into the employee's bank account.
yeah... Umm... I always receive my meager salary in cash... But since I will receive regular salary from now on, I think that it will be prudent if I have a bank account... and CC... since I can't buy LNs from Amazon without a Visa or MasterCard...
DeleteYou can always buy amazon gift cards if you do not have a credit card.
DeleteMost countries allow you to purchase charged VISA cards in the mail company. Go to the local branch and ask about it. If you cut in line to ask about something like that I don't think someone will mind. At least they don't where I live.
DeleteI have a debit card that is similar to a CC but uses the money in your account.
DeletePretty sure you can't use those internationally or online at all.
DeleteIT'S THAT BRAT'S FAULT!
ReplyDeleteseriously . . . well, without conflict the plot of a story will not move ... soooohhhh . . . .
*tumbles off the cliff while yelling* "DAMN YOU AUTHOOoooorr..."
ReplyDeletethanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteGood, Kazuma, keep calm and generate divine retribution.
Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteGood, Kazuma, keep calm and generate divine retribution.
Thanks for the new chapter!
ReplyDeleteDamn kid and his mouth
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great chapter!
ReplyDeleteMakasih gan udah translate kan..
ReplyDeleteAmazon bisa pake gift card kan ? Beli gift card nya aja gan kalau gak punya CC
Amazon.co.jp didn't accept amazon.com giftcards.
DeleteAmazon giftcards are domain-exclusive (.com cards for .com, .co.uk for .co.uk, .fr for .fr, .co.jp for .co.jp).
DeleteThanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteIf they didn’t do any measure soon, then the waterwheel Mk.2 would become useless. <- it's "take any measure"; "take measures" is doing something about an issue, while "do measures" (more often, "do measurements") is finding the length, width, depth, weight or wathever of something.
Thanks for pointing this out... fixed! Or maybe more correctly, amended?
DeleteGUNS, BUY THEN SO YOU HAVE OP PROTECTION. COME ON MY SON.
ReplyDeleteIt's useless for him, he's a freaking wimp, probably couldn't even strangle a chicken.
DeleteJapan's law of firearms is very strict.
DeleteThe possession of guns and their parts is strictly limited to law enforcement officials, members of the Self-Defense Force, other public officials, and persons who have obtained permission from the government to use them for a specific purpose, such as hunters, target shooters, athletes who compete in national or international competitions, firearms dealers, manufacturers, firearm exporters, and antique-gun collectors. The transfer, loan, and borrowing of guns and their parts are also restricted. The term “guns” in this law means pistols, rifles, machine guns, hunting guns, other powder-charging firearms that have a mechanism for shooting metal bullets, and air guns with power specified by a Cabinet Office Ordinance.
Read the detail in: http://www.loc.gov/law/help/firearms-control/japan.php
So getting a gun in legal means is very hard to do....
Either way, is http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ARealManIsAKiller? And http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatMeasureIsANonBadass?
Godly nippon steel of godlike power that can cut bullets in midaeru is way better.
DeleteOh wow how many soldiers again? Vs super human villagers lol
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your translation work!
ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeleteHistory is slowly repeating itself.....the god of this world might as well just give up on these humans and just destroy it......well.....same for our world :P
Why is he being arrested? What's the point? What are the charges? I don't understand...
ReplyDeleteI hope Isaac ends up with his righteous "right hand" in the end.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the villagers to pummel Isaac and his soldiers. >:D
Ahhh imouto...anywhere they are, they always block or disturb your happy time
ReplyDeleteHe absolutely should not open that case in front of Isaac. There are almost certainly weapons in it and if its anything that Isaac can recognize as a weapon, things will get bad fast. Honestly, I don't know why he even brought it with him if he wasn't going to open it first.
ReplyDeleteIts too bad that kid decided to keep his failure to himself. Not telling his parents is something he'll likely regret for the rest of his life.
