This is Yukkuri demasu!
The misunderstanding continue!
Also should I translate all the Japanese reference as it is (Her face was just
like a Buddha) or localize into English (Her face was just like a Saintess). I
suck at localization as I am not an Englishman nor American, though.
Also, also, from now on, I will put the author names. Since people
sometimes forgot the great man who write the novels.
I am just the translator, nothing more.
DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee that my translation is 100%
correct. Please correct me if I was wrong.

Chapter 58: Is the Misunderstanding Good or Bad
When Isaac rushed out from the tent, he looked at the
surrounding to find Zirconia who had exited the tent earlier.
However, since he was late to pursue her, her sight
was nowhere to be seen.
「……Isaac-sama?」(Havel)
Just when Isaac running towards Zirconia’s tent as it
is, he was suddenly being called out from behind and so he turned towards the
caller.
「What are you doing with such appearance?」(Havel)
The one who called him was Havel.
Havel held a copper pitcher filled with fruit wine and
several documents in his hand, it seems that he was going to meet Isaac for
some work.
The fruit wine in his hand was a refreshment for Isaac.
「Ah, no…… I have been doing muscle training, just now. Since it had become
so hot, I went outside.」(Isaac)
Isaac immediately made an excuse explanation. Havel
made a bit surprised expression.
「Even though you had been training that many in the day, you still have a
high eagerness…… You have followed the villagers putting the soil into the
cloth bag from the evening, if it’s me I wouldn’t be that vigorous.」(Havel)
When Kazura went to Japan, Isaac’s group couldn’t just
idle without doing nothing, so they joined the Noble guards under Zirconia’s
command to do practices.
The training content wasn’t as that severe as what
Havel had taste under Zirconia, but it still was quite fatiguing.
Furthermore, after that training, he joined the
villagers filling the bags with large amount fertilizer that Kazura brought.
Havel’s body was so fatigued that the thought of doing
muscle training until the night was something never crossed his mind.
Of course, Isaac was tired too. If Kazura never
instructed it, he would never do a muscle training in the night.
「We-well, I happened to have time so I just went and did it.」(Isaac)
「As expected, you are very diligent…… Umm, if that’s alright with you, I
have something to discuss with you right now.」(Havel)
Isaac looked at the documents that jolted when Havel
speaking. He scratched his head and made an apologetic expression.
「I am sorry. I have something that I have to report to Zirconia-sama right
now…… Will it be alright to do this tomorrow?」 (Isaac)
「Is that so? Then, I will visit you tomorrow’s night. Also, this is a refreshment
for you. Please have a drink before you sleep and have a nice rest.」(Havel)
Havel handed over the fruit wine pitcher to Isaac and
made a bow before he left.
While Isaac saw Havel off, he was really thankful towards
Havel.
Perhaps, if he was not stopped by Havel and intruded Zirconia’s
tent while still half-naked then what would happen? Perhaps while his mind
still in panic, to dispel Zirconia’s misunderstanding, he would loudly shout,
「It’s a misunderstanding! It’s not what it looks like!」
He believed that he would be knocked if he entered Zirconia’s
tent while being half-naked, but he paled when he thought of what would happen
if he was seen by the surrounding people entering Zirconia’s tent while being half-naked.
If a strange rumor appeared, then he wouldn’t be able
to show his face in front of Nelson, to say nothing of being executed.
Perhaps without the person himself realize, inside
Isaac’s mind, Havel’s stock had the reached maximum price increase limit.[1]
✧✦✧✦
Several minutes afterward.
Isaac was inside Zirconia’s tent, frantically doing
his best to resolve Zirconia’s misunderstanding.
Isaac stood in front of Zirconia, who sat on a small
stool, repeatedly stated that it was a misunderstanding as his forehead
drenched in sweat.
While Zirconia was just made a Buddha-like expression and
nodded to Isaac’s word.
「It’s fine. I understand that you have literally devoted all your body and
soul for Isteria’s sake, so I will not tell anything to Lieze about this, so
please be at ease.」(Zirconia)
「No, there is nothing to be understood!? Me and Kazura-sama, didn’t do
anything like that!」(Isaac)
「……Then, why are you dripping with sweat while being naked?」(Zirconia)
Isaac assertively declared so then Zirconia tilted her
head with a puzzled expression.
「That is, Kazura-sama was……」(Isaac)
When his mouth was about to speak that it was Kazura’s
order to do muscle training, Isaac cut his words short.
Kazura had ordered him to not speak to anyone about
what happened in the tent.
On the other hand, he couldn’t explain his situation without
speaking the truth, he also couldn’t make a good excuse for this.
「……Yes, Kazura-san was……?」(Zirconia)
Seeing Isaac suddenly became quiet, Zirconia muttered while
casting her gaze down and made a sad looking expression, before he once more looked
at Isaac with Buddha-like expression.
「It’s alright, I won’t said it to anyone. But, if you couldn’t endure it any
longer, you can consult with me. I will make a plea to Kazura-san.」(Zirconia)
「…… Eh!? No, it’s not that! That’s wrong!」(Isaac)
Afterward, whatever Isaac said to Zirconia, she was
just gently smiling while only said, 「It’s fine」.
✧✦✧✦
The next morning.
Kazura, who had finished with his breakfast, arrived
at the encampment in the village entrance to check Isaac’s condition.
Just like last night, he asked the nearby Noble Guards
soldier to call for Isaac, and Isaac immediately running to approach Kazura.
「Good morning, Kazura-sama……」(Isaac)
「Good morning…… Umm, what’s wrong? You are looking unwell. Are you still
tired from yesterday?」(Kazura)
Isaac was different from last night, his expression
lacked any vigor whatsoever.
His eyes were like someone who had given up on
everything, to speak plainly, it was like the eyes of a corpse.
His expression was weird in any way.
「I still feel a bit tired, but…… rather than that, it was about the event
last night. Zirconia-sama had misunderstood it.」(Isaac)
「Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?」(Kazura)
Kazura immediately made a puzzled expression so Isaac
wearily began to answer.
「Last night, after Kazura-sama exited the tent, Zirconia-sama arrived at my
tent.」(Isaac)
「Oh, so it’s a near miss……」(Kazura)
Kazura made a cold sweat as he imagined that Zirconia
almost arrived at the place where he was testing the food’s effect.
If Zirconia saw them, then it would be hard to make a
good excuse.
She would surely become suspicious of what they are
trying to do.
Seeing that Kazura was making a relieved sigh, Isaac
continue his story while still showing an apologetic expression.
「However, at that time I was half-naked…… And Zirconia-sama saw Kazura-sama
exited the tent, so……」(Isaac)
「……Hm? I don’t see where this conversation is going…… Then is something
wrong with that?」(Kazura)
Isaac was talking as if it was a really serious matter,
so Kazura asked him back with a serious expression.
「……Kazura-sama, with me, that is…… She misunderstood we were doing sexual
intercourse.」(Isaac)
「Wha-!?」(Kazura)
Kazura was taken aback when he heard Isaac’s reply.
Even without herself knowing it, Zirconia had a grand
misunderstanding.
「Wa-wait, Isaac-san has denied this, right!?」(Kazura)
「Of course. However, Kazura-sama had ordered to not say anything about what
happened inside the tent….. With that
kind of situation, I couldn’t make a proper excuse…… I am sorry.」(Isaac)
What a terrible development, Kazura was greatly
perturbed.
If the situation was like this, he wanted to call
Zirconia and correct the misunderstanding immediately, but he must give her an
explanation that she could accept.
However, if he did that, Zircona and Isaac might end
up enquiring the food effect.
It would be nice if he could think a good excuse, but
the scene that Zirconia saw was really too awful.
Perhaps, if Kazura was in her place, he had no doubt
that he would also have the same homosexual misunderstanding.
There were two countermeasures that he could pick.
The first option was telling Zirconia the truth about
the food effect experiment last night and resolve the misunderstanding.
In this case, he could correct Zirconia’s
misunderstanding, but then she would know about the special effect of the food
that Kazura brought to this world.
It would be wonderful if he could fabricate some kind
of proper explanation that she could accept. However, if he gave a poor
explanation, it could cause a bad after effects.
Perhaps, even if he fabricate an explanation that
Zirconia could accept, she would enquire Isaac for the full story for that time
and there was a possibility that the question about the potato and egg might come
out.
On the other hand, he had already ordered Isaac to not
speak a word about the potato and egg, so it would be like disturbing a hornet
nest.
Although he believed that Isaac is a person worthy of
his trust, Kazura only had a shallow relationship with Isaac.
Kazura still had a suspicion that he might end up
reporting this to Nelson or Zirconia.
Isaac was a military personnel, so if he knew that the
food that Kazura brought had a special effect, then he would think about how to
apply this effect for military purpose in one way or another.
The second option was to just doing nothing and leave
the misunderstanding as it is.
Although this couldn’t be thought as a countermeasure,
but if he just left Zirconia’s misunderstanding that Kazura had a homosexual
preference and have a relationship with
Isaac, then she wouldn’t perform any inquiry towards the food effect.
To speak honestly, he wanted to resolve the
misunderstanding that he was homosexual even if he must let the matter of the
food ended up be known by Zirconia. However, considering what will happen in
the future, it was something that he mustn’t do.
He had no other choice but to swallow his tears and
let the misunderstanding remained as it is.
Although for Isaac, it would be an unthinkable
calamity.
「Kazura-sama, please do something about Zirconia-sama’s misun……」(Isaac)
「……Isaac-san.」(Kazura)
While still at his wits end, Kazura called Isaac’s
name so Isaac sent a sight full of hope towards Kazura.
「Yes.」(Isaac)
「I am really sorry, but I don’t have any method to correct Zirconia-san’s misunderstanding.
I will do something about this before long, so please endure it for now.」(Kazura)
「No way……」(Isaac)
Kazura cruelly crushed Isaac’s hope.
✧✦✧✦
While Kazura was crushing Isaac in the village
entrance, Zirconia was sitting on a chair next to the desk inside her personal
tent. Her eyes were on the unfolded out document that she brought from Isteria.
That document contained the affidavit records from the
bandits that Zirconia had interrogated in Isteria.
On the corner of that documents, Zirconia had written
down the autopsy report of the bandits’ corpses that she dug out yesterday.
「God’s blessing, right?」(Zirconia)
Muttered Zirconia while she remembering the bandits’
interrogation back in Isteria.
When Zirconia interrogating the bandits, at first, the
bandits have a bit of upper hand and repeatedly made statements,
「I will tell you everything, in exchange please guarantee my safety.」
However, when Zirconia used the torture device that
she had prepared before cutting everyone finger for the needless answers,
everyone become more obedient and began to fluently answer her questions.
Although they were interrogated in a separate room, the
content of their story was consistent with each other. So just to make sure, for
the next few interrogations, she lied,
「There is a question that didn’t match with each other.」(Zirconia)
And cut one finger from everyone again.
Afterward, the bandits became even more obedient and began
to smoothly answer her questions while still moaning from the pain of their severed
finger.
The content of those bandits stories and the bandit
corpses autopsy that Zirconia conducted yesterday was consistent with each
other.
According to the interrogated bandits, Grisea Village
citizens were like a monster.
The villagers that were battling the bandits, could
move at a speed unthinkable for a human and immediately annihilated the bandits
in mere seconds.
Especially about the Village Chef and his daughter,
two of the bandits were shuddered from fear.
From those bandits stories, when the bandits intruded into
his house, he held off four people while being unarmed.
At that time, Valin evaded a slash from the bandit who
attacked him with a ridiculous speed and grasped the arm of the bandit who was
swinging down his sword.
Then, Valin immediately broke the bandit’s arm and snatched
the sword. He promptly slew the bandit with the crushed arm and the next moment
he halfway severed another bandit’s neck.
Furthermore, he threw the dead bandit corpse with a superhuman
strength that it blown another bandit who then flew with the corpse from the
living room towards the entrance before fainting.
He also killed the last bandit by halfway cutting his
torso in a blink of an eye.
In addition, even Valin’s daughter Valetta, even while
being pinned by a bandit, she easily crushed the bandit’s hand which grasped
her neck and knock him down with one punch.
With such extremely unrealistic stories, Zirconia was
doubting whether or not the bandits was just exaggerating their stories.
However, she changed her mind when she examined the corpses yesterday.
The wounds on the bandits were completely identical with
the content of the stories from the interrogated bandits.
It seems that the bandits didn’t exaggerate their
story at all.
「……If we have this power.」(Zirconia)
As soon as the fact was confirmed, she completely
welcomed it. Zirconia made a grin.
The tremendous growth of the vegetables in the village
that Zirconia had seen yesterday and the superhuman combat ability of the
villagers when repulsing the bandits. It was clear that the origin of these
phenomena was Kazura.
Zirconia also had the same conjecture with Nelson that
perhaps there was some special effect on the food that Kazura brought, but after
seeing the change in the village’s crops, she thought that it was more probable
that Kazura had granted some kind of blessing to the whole village.
Although Kazura has the appearance and acted like a
normal human, that made Zirconia sometimes doubted that Kazura is the God Greysior,
but this thought had completely vanished.
Kazura was for sure a real God that hold a special
power that was different from them.
Afterward, she should continue to make preparation so
he would keep supporting them one way or another.
After Zirconia put all of her ideas in order, she
stood up and walked towards Grisea Village.
☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽
Poor Isaac……
Zirconia had the talent to become a fujoshi…… I think she hang out too much
with her men.
And so, now Kazura is targeted by a village girl (who aims to be
lovey-dovey), a noblemen daughter (who aims at his pocket!), a team of a maid
and her master (who aims at his status), and now a MILF (who aims at his power).
And that’s why kids, why you should buy a lottery ticket. You don’t want to
be end like the man in Sodeto, Spain.

Thanks for the chapter desu!!
ReplyDeletepertamax euy.....
DeleteThanks for the chapter~!
ReplyDeleteI can only see this development lead to :
1) Zirconia presenting Kazura with males (or maybe Issac) to appease him,
2) Valetta finding out and assuming that's why Kazura hasn't done anything to her yet,
3) Valin offering himself to appease Kazura.
Valin would be honoured and wishes for it as well (definitely XD)
DeletePeople like Zirconia are some of the most dangerous, with or without ill intentions. Kazura should have Zirconia leave.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!
ReplyDeleteouch! My side hurt!
Thanks for the chapter.
thank for chapter
ReplyDeletei don't like zirconia she just want to use everything that kazura give villager for improve village for war
well i wont blame her cause think about it , in next 4 year they wanted or not will have a war and the state of her country are not suit for it as they had been plague with epidemic and dint have enough food , her ppl are weak and will definitely lose , if they lose easy part they dead in battle , hard part became slave for the rest of their life
Deleteremember , zirconia country are not the 1 initiate war , they just wanna defend from other country from invasion , so is not proper to dislike her without knowing why she need to do that
Deleteside note : just my opinion , no hard feeling , peace and thx for the chapter
I agree with you. I really don't like people that would abuse someone's kindness.
DeleteI understand her reason but I just dont like those types of people...
You made one sin...
ReplyDeletemake me laugh on my working hour office...
Well keep the chapter coming.
Well a buddha-like expression is something like this : http://hinata2789.deviantart.com/art/Tanaka-and-Noya-buddha-face-575942248
ReplyDeleteSo using "saint" instead of "buddha" wouldn't fit.
I think it's better to explain, add pics or links than over-localizing and loosing the original nuances made by the author in his work ;o)
Poor Isaac……
ReplyDeleteZirconia now Know secret or super power . She know that BL Thing with Kazura will help her troop men improve dextor and strength . and woman like Valetta can crush men arm with bare hand .
....
And Then BL troop happen.

thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI say keeping the Japanese references as they are is best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new chapter!
Well now Zirconia becomes power greedy... I really don't like it. I mean Kazura is already helping them so much and she wants more and more! I understand that she wants to be ready for the war but if she continues like that Kazura will also end up fleeing this world like the Greysior before him...
ReplyDeleteI don't dislike Zirconia. In the last war, she was an undefeated general. If such person said they don't stand a chance to win the upcoming war unless she exploit the god himself, then who am I to judge her.
DeleteAlso, to exploit god, I think she herself also ready accept punishment (remember what happened to the noble in legend). Which mean none of these she doing for herself.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteAfterward, whatever Isaac said to Zirconia, she was just gently smiled while only said, 「It’s fine」. <- "smiling"; the way you wrote it, it meand that someone else was smiling while directing that smile to her.
PS. Looked the story you mentioned, and it was not his fault. The guy was living in a tower he was restaurating but he women from the Homemaker Association (the ones who bought the prized tickets and sold participation vouchers to the neighbors) didn't know he lived there (the greek guy would have bought his voucher if offered to).
Also, seems like the guy was not mad. And even planned to make a movie.
DeleteSo that's why he was mentioned as one of the most unfortunate guy...
Delete"Village Chef" ... lol. Didn't know Valin was also a good cook ;)
ReplyDelete"Dikasih hati minta jantung", eh?
ReplyDeletetapi menurut saya mah ya wajar lah kalo Zirconia menghalalkan segala cara untuk mempertahankan wilayahnya, apalagi kesempatan doi buat "meminjam kekuatan" Greysior-sama berada tepat di depan mata. lagian itu juga bukan buat kepentingan dirinya sendiri, kan?
ini cuma menurut saya loh ya! salam damai buat para Zirconia-haters! ;)
