21. Training of the New Guardian

TN: Chapters are getting longer!!

---

A small jewel is attach in the star guardian ring.

It is about 5mm in diameter, which is made by striking a "gemstone" in the center of the star and slowly accumulating the energy of the stars for over a several hundred years.

It seems that it is the part of the ring that draws out its power and makes a guardians possible.

"Something like notebook PC with a built-in battery."

At least since it has been customized so that the guardian of the star has no difficulty in using it. 

"The problem is that it how difficult for it to master."

I laid my body which was slightly getting tired.

The ring feels the owner's intention and gives power. However, detailed thing seems to be its weak point.

After all, it is said that the released power is suitable because the result is given, and the process does not matter. It is only rough at the first time to say.

If you use it casually, you feel a vain in effort like when you fully open a faucet when you just want a glass of water.

"First thing I need is to be able adjust the power"

I tried flattening a gentle slope. It certainly became flat, but a small mountain form in the far side. If you use power too much, the left over power will escape. Unless I do something about it, a distortion will seems to appears somewhere.

When I try to attract clouds together, small clouds came from all directions and began to wind up like a whirlpool over my head.

"If I think it will became a storm, if I scatter it haphazardly, I might got caught up instead......"

In the distance, the trees were knocked down by the wind and rose to the sky in a drilling manner.

"As for raising and shaving land, because I do not know how much power it use, I do not know how to change it."

The image does not get cramped when it is more than the weight that I can hold with both hands. From there, there is a consciousness that will cause you to be not able to adjust the power well. Even so, the power necessary every time is different even if I intend to just use the right amount of power, I cannot use the right amount as I intended to, it's a repeatedly success and failure.

"This feeling of fatigue, is that because it uses power through my body"

Yes, I understand one of the things I had been worried about so far. The star guardian ring keeps power, but it needs 『Intention』 to release. It means that only people with『Intention』can use the ring.(TN: Can be purpose or wish)

However, although it is a ring, the power which it stored are from the star, a celestial body. It still pull out energy with『Intention』, and with the body as a medium.

With the use physical strength and mental power greatly, the physical body and mind become gradually exhausted.

"Well, the numbness that is similar to this pain is the same as after using a control machine or a lawn mower."
(TN: Don't know what to use with control machine '管理機')

It is similar to a fatigue after using a small engine driven machine for a long time. However, if asked if it is similar to manipulating one star and cultivating the field, it is something you have a hard time replying in various ways.





It makes me feel good lying on the prairie at full length. I especially able to relax without minding any eyes looking.

A gentle wind strokes my cheeks.

The goat merchant said that the owner of star guardian ring have an effect on reducing nature accident only by being on the star. So it does not absorb the surplus energy only with the ring?

I can sense that the ring still sucks some kind of power. Does that mean that even absorption is done through the body of the guardian?

"I kinda don't like it"

After making a parking lot in front of the station, I feel like I used a shortcut to commuters going to the station.

(TN: Don't know what he supposed to mean??)

"My body won't move, I wonder if I should also look at the function of the ring"

I called the star hologram from the ring.

It was displayed in 3D and it can be rotated and zoomed with just one fingertip.

"When I look at this, land is more than half ... ... I think about roughly 60%. The sea is about 30%, and the rest is a lake. Though it might be a salt lake."

It's looks like earth, but earth doesn't have so much lands like this.

I click an indication part of the star.

“It rotate in 25 hour 15 minutes? Though this was written in earth time, it have such indication because I am an owner. The revolution is 287 days, it's very fast. I feel the gravity is not different from the earth, It is said that the angular velocity of revolution is large, so that the mass of this star is lighter than the earth? Well, as I explore the details of the star, I was able to get it's approximate sense"

When I displayed more detailed menus, my left wrist suddenly felt a heat. It seems that a call has entered into the communication device on my wrist.

When I touch it, the name of the caller is displayed, so click I "ON".(TN: ON was written in English)

『So, how are you doing? 』(Leader)

『I just started for a bit. But fine control may take time. 』

I feel like I cannot control it continuously as I get completely exhausted.

『Really. It is different from being able to use and mastering it. Well it is your own power so I can't take over. You should work hard even if it takes time. 』

『Yes, I will. By the way, what's wrong? Do you need something......Or just checking how I was doing? 』

『Oh, I just try this new toy. This is nice, being able to call without worry of eavesdropping, and also the places are irrelevant.』

New toys......This is a technology that possibly beyond our current capabilities!

Well, the leader probably is aware of such thing.

『It certainly is convenient because you can communicate in earth this way. But we might seems be treated as a suspicious person when we used it on town.』

It just like a kind of 2 patients talking to their arms.

『That is it. That is also good, right?』

The leader trembled with a delightful voice.

『So how is your situation? Although you might still haven't arrived in Tokyo yet. 』(Minoru)

『Oh. I am buying a celebration.』

... Light Novel?

I am absolutely sure that you're calling in Akihabara. If that is the case, the specificity of the leader may be slightly diluted.

『The deal with the goat merchant, is it serious?』

『Seriously serious. Extremely serious』(TN: 'Honki' was really wrote 3 times!)

What is this? It sounds suspicious.

『Moe ... is it?』

『Yes, it is Moe.』

I guessed it, this person!

『So what are you going to do? It is not a purpose of earning money』

『 I'm trying to make alien emigrate. 』

『 ... Ha?』

『You just got a star, right? However, you can just use it to play around with your friends. In other words, if you have a star, you should use it somehow. 』

『That right. I am going to do that. That's why I called you all.』

To be honest. It is also great to expect from leader's wisdom.

『That's right. So that's why from your solo projects it became a five projects for the five us. So, as a leader, I have to arrange the hand to make the best use of the star. So I thought about emigration. That is beast man! Doesn't it makes you excited?』

『For people with special hobbies it will be』

『Kakaka ... ... I don't deny it.
Well, that's the way to get to know it.
It is fine even if only 0.1% who read it, if you are interested in it, Even if only 0.001% are those who you are going to emigrate, everything will be fine.』

『Moe is a strategy that anticipates migration? 』

『That's right. My hobby is also probably included.
In the first place, asking for immigration you do not know whether they will be interested in that star. I prepare a lot of money for the preparation of immigrants, but the planetary defense was weak and if the star were robbed, it would be a problem. In the state of our star now, no one will came with a risk. Even though there are guardians, They do not know if the guardian is on the star.
In the first place, their race will come in a mass, right?
What will happen if you host yourself against them?
I can easily imagine without a doubt it will become suspicious. 』

『 ...... The Lightnovel is preparation for that?』

『Oh. We like to show that we are interested in beasts. It is such a favorable thing. I would like to show them that in our culture they can immigrate without worrying about their animal attributes.』

...... Indeed, Ota wish hobbies Proposal of Bari Bali, there was such thing.......
(TN: Don't know how to translate this ヲタ趣味バリバリの提案に、so I just MTL it)

『In other words, I'd like to say that it is a strategy that combines hobbies and profits』

I also feel that the weight is biased towards hobbies.

『Of yeah, one more thing.
It's about the risk before, but the goat's race seems to be pretty civilized. If there is such a thing, some people might come out to invest. The more friendly their race is, the better.
And the more civilization goes on.』

『You seem to have by any chance, that's not you only reason......? Can you justify it after you see a Nekomimi and scream at it eh.』

Let's keep on investigating.

『Minoru, I am sad. That you think that I were such a suspicious person』

『Yes, I was trained. 』

『Okay, I have to say a word to those who have trained you.』

Please tell it to yourself. No one will stop you.

『Anyway, What do you do for the emigration from the earth?
Although I thought that it would our main topic first. But..』

It is the expectation for why the land nearby was bought up.

『That is for later. For now is technology.
Probably, it will take ten years to survey it, organize it, create infrastructure and build a house. 』

『Ah, I guess so. 』

『I do not know the ecology of the alien, but my expectation is that they will migrate using space ship and settle down there.
If they are staying for a long time, they should have bring a functional residence by placing it like a prefab.
The circulation system for garbage and wastewater also has things that make the spacecraft system simpler and lighter, and the energy may be like a small nuclear reactor.
Either way, I think that it is okay to buy or borrow, if they do not mind, by referring to the living form of the race who moved in. 』





Well, she says that it was still far ahead of us and our communication has ended.

Whether she was busy or just waiting to see what happens, there were no more topic for us to talk about.

I raised my upper body and looked up at the sky.

The slightly bluish sky appeared faintly. Unlike earth, I have never seen a pale blue sky before, but maybe this star has such a color in nature.

"I will go to various places for now"

Using the ring, I touched a suitable place in this star hologram.

There were small wild animals in the woods and the waterside

There's no figure of a large mammal yet.

In the reef zone, the rock is not weathered, or a sharp rock is ragged.

" I wonder is it because the earthquake's crustal movement was small. There are no places where the strata are exposed, and I feel like a scenery somehow created. "

There is an impression that the arranged topography was made by data entry, such as mountains, hills, grasslands and rivers.

"In this way, I want to see cliffs and steep cliffs"

I searched in the holograms that seemed like it, decided one place, and teleport.

"Eh ... ... What is this?"

There was a big cave on the bottom of the standing cliff. No, it seems to be a circular lateral hole rather than a cave. 

"Height is about 5 meters. The wall surface looks like mucous, and it seems to be solidified. Though it is slippery, it is hard"

A trace like a hardened adhesive glued continued all the way to the ceiling.

"Adhesion liquid ...... of the big creature is such an unpleasant imagination"

It looks like that it seems to be completely dry and has been left for a long time.

"What does it mean? "

Should I proceed or stop?

"Well, the conclusion is..... Lets continue ..... to Explore"

The inside of the hole was pitch black.

20. Field, Father, Leader, and I who is in Provisional Licence

Author Notes : New Arc start!

For a while the story will advances as Minoru at the center.

---

"Why?"

My father's words resonate in the room.

Because of our talks, I called my father to my room and cut out the matter about the field.

If I use the field from now on anyway, when I told my father that I want to buy it, such word came back.

It is within my range of expectation, and an excuse as a reply is also considered by leader.

.... but, as usual it's straightforward.

"It is about the field being only borrowed for a year and then after that I have to pay a fee starting next year."(Minoru)

"Oh, it is the same condition as Hosaku"(Father)

"How much per month do you lends it to older brother"

"It's fifty thousand a month"

" What are the conditions?"

"All things at home are included"

Hm ... ... My older brother naturally lives at home. Watering of vegetables and places for shipping adjustment is also necessary. Even if you use well water, there are also electricity bills and rents in it.

Besides, the car and also the tractor the we use belong to our house too. As I expected, I will also purchase durability material and consumable good by myself, I feel like I cannot freely use everything at home.

Does it mean that there is no initial investment in houses and fields?

I guess it's a pretty cheap amount if you think about adding in living expenses at home.

"If I was to borrowed it for twenty years, the rent is 12 million yen, right? Father is sixty-eight years old by that time. If I borrow for 30 years, 18 million yen. So it will be a useless expense if I just borrow it."

" So, do you will buy? Where will you get such money?"

It is reasonable. Originally.

"Well I got salary on my part-time on short term ..... well, Since I did not use it, I got lucky and amass a lot of money.

Here I slowly speaks to father.

"I'm saving money as it is, So I'm going to use it for fund purchase for the field, because I really do not have anything to pay. Still, it will be helpful if you make it as a parent and child price. Since
you was supposed to lend it for free for a year, I would like if you also deduct that extra."

Leader's『When I noticed it, I have a lot of savings, so I bought some farms』 Does that strategy will really work with my father?

I borrow the money from the leader at a later time, though.

"I will think for a bit."

My father said so and went out.

".....fu"

I get tired just to have anything to do with my parent.






The story goes back.

After finishing the discussion with those four people, We return to Earth using the transposition gate, it was already evening here.

When I send them to the station, Tatsuhiko and Shino returned to Tokyo while gagging up about their company, preparing to move.

The location of our house is located in the northeast not entering the Kanto Region. The summer vacation is delicately short, and the winter vacation is delicately long in the mountains.

(TN: Northeast meaning Tohoku region. So most likely Fukushima or Yamagata cause it is near Kanto region.)

After sending out Tatsuhiko and Shino, I entered the cafe called Rafaero with leader.

"Naa... Minoru, Even saying that it is parent and child that is buying and selling of the field. perhaps, you can propose that a surveyor is inserted"

The leader seems like to call me 'Minoru' when there's only two of us.

"At that time, I say that the area in the public sectional map is fine as it is in this present situation"

It seems that there are many cases on olden time that by using long rope, and measuring the area often increases that area.

When asked why it would happen, when taxes were imposed by the extent of the land, it was said that landowners who wanted to make taxes a little cheaper declared all together.

Is it a tax payment by self-assessment?

So when you measure the area, it seems that it is likely that there are 10% too many and 20% too few.

"The area in the public sectional map ......"

"Therefore the reason to buy and sell in a small area, is so a buyer can buy it cheaply"

You can also save the money you pay to the surveyor, and if you enter the center, there is also a danger that there is not a field there.

Certainly it seems that it would be better if you can trade without surveying.

"It may be necessary to include a real estate appraiser depending on the purchase price, but it is when we declare any taxes, I think that there is no problem if you create an enclosure so far. That is just judging it from the outside of the land and not trying to enter it unreasonably. "

Yes, a real estate appraiser. A word which I do not know well came out.

When I asked, the leader briefly explained.

"Let's assume there is a land with a price of 100,000 yen based on accessibility, if you trade it at 10,000 yen, the difference of 90,000 yen it will be treated as donating, which means that it will only cost a donation tax. However, if you sell the same land of 100,000 yen for 90,000 yen, say 10,000 yen in difference will it be treated as a donation? It will not be so. It is in the range of error."

(TN: So depending on how much the land sell, different tax will be imposed. That's why if you sell cheaply, donation tax will be applied)

It seems that it is natural that the tsubo unit price will change due to the circumstances of people wanting to sell, people wanting to buy.

"Well, in the case of selling the same land for 70,000 yen, it depends on the judgment of the tax office. In other words, if the tax office recognizes that it is an error, it is an error, and it is said that donation occur. "

"Hey, Is that irresponsible?"

"It is irresponsible, but it is so in reality. Therefore, in the case of the price on a gray zone, in order for it to not be regarded as a donation, The land around here does not need for a real estate appraiser, The road is also narrow, there are no people, so sometimes this price is reasonable.
The tax office makes it a judgment material. A real estate appraiser will be punished if you make a lie report just like a tax accountant."

Well, that's why I got advice in various ways so I decided to negotiate with my father.

As for the result, I wonder whether that somehow we managed to think positively.






After that, I go to the stars with the transposition gate by myself.

I adjusted the time so that I could reach the other day, but I would like a clock that fits this star.

"To the leader, it seems likely you find one or two craftsmen who would make it, What will you make me do this time?"

As soon as the discussion at Raffaello ended, the leader also returned to Tokyo.

"Listen Minoru, you should be able to master the guardian's ring. Therefore as for now you are like in Provisional Licence. Pound the way of using it on your body."

On the way back, the leader said so and poked my chest.

It was about getting used to practicing first, such as the maximum value of output power, proficiency of small work, possibility of continuous use.

I understand how to use it roughly and the practice might be pleasant isn't it?.

"I do not mind if there are functions that you don't know if it is a mobile phone, but it is the power that people can get in hand. If you do not master it you will not be able to do something else like examining or practicing."

That's why I was told to practice just here.

Actually this ring has【Return】, So that I can return to this star from anywhere in the universe. Only for me.

This is【Jump Gate】, In application, it seems to be more advanced technology than the transposition gate.

Just when I return to Earth, I have to use tranposition gate and I have to walk from the field to the house.

Therefore, I only have to drive to the field with a car and use the transposition gate from there.

"Convenient, inconvenient or somewhat subtle"

When I asked leader she answer, 『I think it's convenient！』And I seems to get yelled at.

Anyway I will do my best?

SS3 Class Scenery of Mayumi Sumire

TN: Hmm.. Talks about history just make you google it. I google about Asia Minor, and Byzantine empire. And I can only understand it a little. Well I only google important parts. So enjoy!!

And also how the narration change topic so suddenly can a bit hard to understand.

---

I am Mayumi Sumire, Ninomae University full-time lecturer

The second class is a general liberal arts course and I will be in charge of them.

I must do this class at all costs.

Ninomae University is a university which is unusual in this world, It specialized only for Talent Entrance Exam, and it is also attracting attention globally.

After all, since the selection criteria are too strict, and all the enrolled students are also owners of a talent, their strange condition excel other groups.

By the way, there are five students enrolled in this fiscal year. It is a very small number of people.

How can management managed with only this? It is because the management is covered by the donation of companies and graduates.

Graduate student! Elite or Experts active all over the world.

With their donation, students can get in free.

『With your ability, do not give up just because you do not have money!』

The speech of the founder. I also fully agree on this.

Because there is no way that management can be established by just a few tuition fees, If you leave it to donation entirely,
I think that excuses stand out.

This founder of Ninomae structure, I only seen his face in portraits, anyway, Originally, I've properly decided a different ordinary university, but they do not have a student with talent there, so that why the new university I got in is wonderful.

Anyway, they said that they did not want their normal students to pay their tuition.

(Hit one hand against your mouth, so that the voice reaches far) Puyuta!(TN: Don't know what this supposed to mean "いよっ、ぷよっ腹！" Maybe just SFX? With Kanji?)

Recently I was worried about the meat aside, unconsciously ... ...

Well anyway. The educational policy of Ninomae University is very ordinary, something like【 Stretch pros and eliminate disadvantages 】.

First is Two years of General Liberal Arts and Basic Specialized Subjects, The lecturer is dispatched from another university which the Ninomae structural person establishes, You can get credits by going to the university class over there.

It seems that they can participate as lecturers of over ten other partner universities, but it seems necessary to pass the exams imposed by each university.

I think it's unexpectedly severe.

Why are we taking such a troublesome system? It is because their Talent new students cannot be categorized into literature, science, art, etc.

As long as the existing systems fit them, As it is only people who were outstanding do come here, I am admiring that it is a system that works well in a way, it is a system that can be used well.





At last the recollection was finished!

I check the time with my wrist watch.

"It's been 30 minutes past since the start of work!"

I did it again......

If a teacher does not appear in the classroom after 30 minutes from the start time of the class, it will be "natural to leave".

It is a corridor where I am standing still in a place in-front of the classroom.

In other words, a natural to leave has been established and it is not counted as absent even if you are not attending the class.

I looked at Statue at the entrance of the classroom with a grudge.

There is no doubt that Kuonji Tatsuhiko made this. Does it have an effect that the person who saw the stone statue remembers the past for a several minutes?

As a casual measure against the fact that the school building was blown up and forced to stay in the hospital until early summer, the report was mainly in the previous term.

Since a decent class started from the second half, so it was a stone statue attack that was waiting for me who was excited with excitement.

Attack ... ... Yes, just like attacking.

All the later classes are being disturbed because of a stone statue that make's you cry nonstop when I see it, A stone statue that driven your impulse to remember serious important things and want to return and take it like,『What did you come here for?』And stone statue that make you suffer from sudden amnesia, etc.,

"Is this a stone statue that make you want to recall endlessly ...?"

I tore down my shoulder carelessly. Somehow they seem to be busy lately, they seem to have serious business to go.

However, the system of Ninomae university is severe.

Unless attendance rate is not less than 80%, their units will not be issued. You will be drop if your absent for 3 times out of 10 times of lectures.

Therefore, it seems that he is doing his best to create an environment in which classes are not established purposely.

"I do not know what it is ... but, after completing that errand, I'm coming to class properly!"

Of course, there is no one who answer.






I threw the collected stone statues into the warehouse and returned to my seat.

As we squeeze the rest of the day, the next lesson is two and a half hours back. I hope that you will come back by that time. I would like to hold back to seeing a stone statue again.

By the way, I have suggested something like if I sell the stone statue that I collected back to the chief office and add it to the school expenses.

"Of course, though you must reveal your source?"

Yes, it is impossible. When I say that I decided to take what was in the classroom, and sell it?

Embezzlement of found items, ehh.

Giving up on temporary income, And it's a shame to decorate it even before the school gate. A passerby might falls one after another.

..... Well, let's stop it. My thoughts are getting extreme. Although I just got my job, I will definitely get fired.

I calmed down and took lunch then after that I went out for afternoon lessons.

"Huh, Everyone came"

I wonder if I am too excited. But I can see well that the other teachers did not want to take the initiative to take over this class. Ahh... This is not good for my stomach.

Perhaps, I think it is originally too heavy for me. I am just a fresh graduate. I was in high spirits being a Ninomae University instructor, but it is a trap.

Still I would like to pinch myself thinking that I might be intimate with promising students, or Ikemen (dead language). Ufufu I wanted to pinch myself as I thought I'd do it.

At the drinking party of faculty and staff "It is seriously unmanageable!" It was memorable that I screamed with a big jog.

I let the class go past passively somehow, When I was about to leave with the teaching materials, I was called out by a gorgeous beauty (too powerful to call a girl).

"Ms. Mayumi, it seems there was a place where today's lesson is wrong"

Today's lesson is『Introduction to Asian History』It is about the formation of the neighboring states of Western Asia. I wonder what mistake I made.

"Although we are not specialize but we can't just ignore it that in order to learn history, we think West Asia and Asia Minor should originally think of as separately"

Although Asia Minor around the Anatolian Peninsula certainly treated as a part of West Asia together today ... ....

"Religion and culture differ greatly in the surrounding areas of Asia Minor where the influence of East Rome was strongly received and West Asian countries that developed their own unique development"

Since I was told various other things, I decided to reply with a little meaning of repulsion.

"But in that area the border line will also change soon and I think that it is a series of places that they influences each other. In that case, I think that it is better to treat it as same in order to understand it comprehensively ... "

The student in front of me humph her nose like a spoiled brat.

Poor manners! I want to be careful, but this student is like a carnivorous leopard or something like a not cute being that I think about Impala.(TN: Impala = medium-sized antelope)

"First of all the Western Asian history that Ms. Mayumi said in the first place is also under the influence of Western historical perspective. Because we talk about history view while ignoring internal development, we regard it as『No problem to Identify』.

She only went far as to say good things the left.

When she saw what behind her, she turned her arms around the neck of a somewhat taller boy with a lower spirit and went out to drag it.

Suddenly, tears spilled carelessly.

Uwah, that's frustrating.

It is because she thought that she meant something in a way. For example, the previous story, the country of Byzantine empire in Asia Minor, this country was destroyed once by a crusade expedition.

The Byzantine empire, which was an extremely centralized state like Japan, spent the absence of subtle creation after making the Nicene empire in the province after their capital fall. Nearly two hundred years.

It will recapture the capital after the Crusader raises it, but when you think about it, It will only be see as a country of a crusade expedition.

In that country it is the invasion of infidels and the history of conquest by different peoples. However, against crusaders who believe in Christianity, we do not call it heathens or other ethnic groups.

When teaching Asian history it cannot be argued if it is said to be a European historical view. So frustrating.

"Well, let's prepare for tomorrow's lesson. Even if anything is said, anyone can give one's opinion as well!"

Even if I am new lecturer, I think that I am wrong with keeping on being said.

...... Uh, Before that, I must take measures against the stone statues.

After thinking a lot, I came up with a solution.





Next week, there was a female teacher brought in a sleeping bag inside the classroom, which was furiously angry the education chief.

Author's Note : This is the explanation of the university system.

SS2 Maiden's Daily Life of Tsumura Shino

Author's Notes: The story is in spring vacation just before Minoru classmate get to their second year of college.

It is an everyday scene.

Because main part continues after this, please skip this one if you want.

It is a story in Shino point of view. 

---

Nevertheless, I think that this year was a good year.

At least, I got more inspiration than combined all my life until I entered college.

Yes, it seemed that the passion, impression, surprise I was pursuing came in hand and hand with each other and danced a chorus line.

I can make as many new designs as I want.

The withdrawal in my heart is full of sparkling glitter.

"Is this thanks for encountering them........"

If it's usual me, I absolutely never speak out words like that.

No, no, this isn't my character.

For me to act like complaining despite secretly enjoying it

I have not met them for a while, so I wonder if it just being sentimental.

Especially I had a spring vacation without promising.

I feel that time passes when I cannot meet them for so long.

(If I am not mistaken, that fellow could not return to his parents' house ......)

Even on Year-end and New Year holidays he did not return home, the face of a friend who spent in his apartment floats.

If I choose someone among the four, it is the most safe existence.

The rest is not caught, or cannot be found, or (because it is in the midst of a job), even if I contact them, they will not reply.

"Yeah, it's not bad to be a partner of a poor friend."

Even though no one has heard it, I called Minoru.




"Oh, what is it?"(Sae)

I heard a familiar voice.

Huh?.......I wonder if I made a mistake while calling.

"You.. your Sae?....I should have placed it on Minoru .... "(Shino)

"... ...Sh.... Shino?"(Minoru)

Though it was the voice that I was eager for, it was surely Minoru.

Is that out of breath of someone running away?

"That's right. What, what's wrong? Do you need help? "(Shino)

"Help? If you say so ...... I need help"(Minoru)

It is hard to hear.

He is slightly distant from the phone speaker.

"What, are you in a situation where you can't call now? "(Shino)

"Both hands ...... behind ... ... bound up ... gaa!"(Minoru)

"Wait a minute! What happen? "(Shino)

Something is happening.

"So that's the story, Is it okay now?"(Sae)

Sae came out.

Two people breathing heavily.

What on earth is happening?

I did not have a chance to know the answer and the phone call ran out.

"What's going on!"






As the new semester began, I quietly asked about the previous matter.

"Oh, that one?" 

Sae was scratching her head, It seems to be difficult to say.

"I was worried!"

"Well, my bad"

It is not timid, contrary to the tone.

"Well, that. What is Libido? "

'Kakaka' and her laughter went off.

Since there is no choice, I decided to ask Minoru.

Minori also said that it was difficult to say, but when I said that I was worried, he began to talk.

As he said, when Sae sexual desire pile up, she seem to come over to Minoru apartment aimlessly.

Even if he increase the lock, even if he change it to a new one, it does not seem to work.

"She will return when she is satisfied, but the key will remain broken, so I decided to hand it over so i don't have trouble of repairing it."(Minoru)

Satisfaction ...... Duplicate key ...... It's a surprising word for me.

Still there are days when the mood does not feel inclined, and in such cases Sae skillfully binds both of his hands and sits on top.

"Down, go down ...... That's it!"(TN: Don't know what it suppose to mean or who the speaker is)

Minoru turn down his face awkwardly.

(Don't look down, It's more awkward to me!")

I wonder how it look from the outside, a man who becomes bright red and looks down, and a woman who stands still with a bright red face.

Next time I saw Sae, I pledged to pull off her cheeks, I am annoyed to myself who had no romance experience at all.






A little bit later.

"Imagining the appearance of the two people" when I called on that day, I made it as a design.

I made it as a symbol mark of the company that I started for the first time.

Its design will be seen all over the world, A Maiden Small Retaliation.

19. Leader's Hobby

TL: I been pretty busy last week and will still be probably busy until next week because I am helping my friends on coding their website for their thesis. Also running out of back-up chapters.

I will at least try to release 1chapter every 2days or 3chapter a week.

Well! Enjoy.
I feel like Sae should be the protagonist of this story. Hahaha. 

---

"I want to ask one thing, Are there many races in such a form? "

Pishii. (SFX)

The topic about goat is over!

Why go back there?

Although I haven't seen the goat merchant being fearful and show his anger before, were he resisting it? Also the goat merchant does not seem to remain angry, and was calm.

"I think that this figure can be regarded as a historical product"

A goat merchant said that it was a long story, and begun to talk.

"As the civilization progresses, there seems to be some walls that cannot be crossed. There are many militant species that their destruction was caused by weapons as their first obstacle. If you develop weapons that will eradicate enemies, you will want to use them someday."

It seems that similar things will happen in the process of advancing science and technology.

It is not only war, black holes are also made that the stars are swallowed up, and bacteria with a high mortality rate are produced, so that the extinction or massive damage that a civilization can receive greatly occurs.

"It is only militant species that reach there, Even though there is curiosity, it is limited to races who are not reckless, Otherwise, while possessing weapons that can kill all races a hundreds times, even if that state lasted a thousand years, why is it that they are still ruined theirself?"

The goat merchant shook his head as if he could not bear it.

"Even if it is overwhelming, if they want to use it, they will use it ...... It is hard understood that story."

"Let's suppose they overcome it and prosper. What next will be the life expectancy of a kind? It will comes gradually, but surely. They will stop making children, even if they try, it will be difficult. Will there be more individuals and less desire to make descendants? "

Life is prolonged, and the deaths due to disease and injury decrease, and there's also no more war.

Despite that, the population is still decreasing.

From birth to being able to remain happy until death ... When such era like an ideal town continues for a long time, the population continues to decrease, it seems that the population will decline sharply in hundreds of years without noticing how serious it is.

"Still they may be happy while they live. Although it is only a life that only dies without making any effort,"

Even if they are satisfied with their present situation they are still gonna ruin theirself...... the universe is tough.

"There are a lots of various way to struggle, but if we change tens of thousands of generations, is that the end of it? It is very difficult to increase the life of a kind. Therefore we sustained ourselves by taking in the gene of the beast which overflowed in vitality and fertility, However hundreds generations is our ancestor before. Besides, there are a lot of variety to prolong life such as race which changed to organic information body, race which chose life extension by mechanization, race which becomes spirit body and repeats possession, but our way may be major."

The goat merchant laughed, which is surprisingly large.

"Ohh. Then, it means that there are people like cats, tigers, leopards, etc. "(Leader)

"Of course"

"Well, if so, I have something for a monkey"(Leader)

The leader took out something from her pocket .......







"""Light Novel!"""

Oiii!

Leader!

"They will read it on their spare time inside of the train, so I think they will buy it, can you not make such a trend popular?"

The goat merchant turns the page of (Light Novel!) with flux.

"There are many pictures. The contents ... ... I feel it's a bit simple but if it is an entertainment story it would be in acceptable range. Why do you want to trend this? "

"Although it is a thing itself as a recreational entertainment, it is not such a big deal that I want to introduce the cultural customs of the earth. If anything is said, it will become one of the connoisseurs if it gets a reputation. Even if it is not so, as it is my hobby, I am still happy if it's spreads out. "

I know it.

That appearance, It is leader behaving like she hit a jackpot, I am also familiar with games and manga as anything, and I also read Lightnovel a lot.

Because I sometimes get up and play with other players overnight, I have grasped the tendency largely because I have been to the leader's house many times.

I love Beast Man, Elf, Dwarf.

"More that connection....... it is a hobby?"

"Yes, I really want to spread 'Moe'".

The real thing which the leader says probably is the genuine animal person.

In which I understands is sad.

"Moe ... is it?"

It seems the goat merchant did not understand the subtle nuances.

"Right, it's moe. It is also a romance."

"I do not understand well, but my intuition told me that it is better not to understand, so I will stop it deeply. So is it this one you want to popularize?"

"No, we have a wide variety of "Moe". Tens of thousands of volumes will be available, so I will put it all together."

"Because it is not a product I deal directly with, I will have to leave it to my subordinate that handle it, is it OK?"

"It okay, leave it to him"

Seriously. your serious, Leader!

"Wait a Minute! I will say it as a same creators point of view, but how about the author's copyright?"(Shino)

"It's a law that applies to mankind. And what if you get it in the currency of the alien?"(Leader)

"Still! It is not the problem that you can ignore"(Shino)

"Hmm……. Then I will pool it first, then when it became a money, how about making anonymous donation? "(Leader)

"......I wonder if that is the case in reality.....And also"(Shino)

"Hmm?"(Leader)

"That ... ... Because it is biased only to Lightnovel, there are also other things ... ... I think that it's okay to put in it."(Shino)

The leader seemed to get a hint.

"Well, I see, Shino what do you think?"(Leader)

"No ... .... Nothing really ... That's it!
Favorite things ...... Although there is one."(Shino)

"What's going on? I can not understand the conversation."

Tatsuhiko, read the mood!

I do not know either, but I guessed it somehow based on the mood.

"I am not specialized in NL, but I do not deny that some people move their fingers over there"(TN: It was written in English as NL.. I don't really understand what it mean.. Maybe a typo to LN?? )

“That's a maiden taste for you!

The leader is grinning.

Yeah, do your best, Shino.

I do not really understand.




"Because we will prepare a "Moe" book soon, propagating it is alright!"

"Yes, I received it."

"Since Shino and Tatsuhiko are going to be rent as we said earlier, please contact me when you are ready."(Leader)

Two of them mutually say "Ha ha ...... definitely" and "Donadonado-Na" next to each other.

(TN: It really say "ドナドナド～ナ " but i just leave it raw cause I don't really get it)

"There are things I still want to decide, but it depends on Moe's propagation. As it seems to be put on hold, it seems that it can not be used without registering the transitional gate, but is this connected everywhere? "(Leader)

"No, It is only here and earth, Since it will be problem if it use by other people, it is set as a permission system, but in many cases you can shift the coordinates if you know the coordinates. Please think that the most public place is charged for currency at the place of the shift."

"If you know that you can not use this place without permission, it will be fine for the time being. Anyway, I've got more things to do, but I will do my best. "

"No no, Are you also not busy?"

“The fact is, the busiest from now on is this Minoru. It is not me, Shino or Tatsuhiko. "

Huh?

Although there nothing about my role in the present talks ......







"Well then, have a good day"

The goat merchant has left.

"Yosh, will you return to Earth once? As I said earlier, I will have my sub leader busy. "

It is useless to go against it, so I nodded ambiguously.

Well, what will it be.......

18. Goat Merchant Again

TN: I still don't know what to use.... Card or Hand on some of the lines in this chapter. Or is it that I just did not translate this and the last part of the previous chapter well enough. But it really easy to understand so.... Enjoy!

---

The goat merchant who just appeared, took a half a step back in the word "goat" cried by those three people.

For a moment there's panic, immediately reconsider, see confusion and understanding..

And now I feel a faint anger.

Even if it's I, if we met for the first time and I was told "Monkey!", I won't feel good about it.

No doubt would the goat merchant have ever thought he would be verbally abuse even if he asked for it.

"Well....... this is the first time I met you, I am Fudierit Mason"

"Agano Sae. You can call me Sae. Are you the rumored goat merchant? Hey, it is really is a goat. Awesome!! Are you really a goat?"

Now here's the goat merchant, did you just believe it just now?

You just tried to go with the flow, were you?

Then why did it return?
(TN: Don't know what it mean, Maybe it's about the leader confusion or amazement??)

Or, because it is leader, is this her tension going up?

Hey! It's already MAX! I have not yet seen leader like this before.

The goat merchant has already opened his eyes and has settled.






"Sae-dono, Thank you for contacting me. I thought that you would like to negotiate with me. But if it's not, I will have to go now. Even if am like this, I am really a busy person."

"Well, my bad. It is a business talk, yes. I forgot about it. I completely forgot it the moment I saw your figure"

This is leader liking a personality, I know about it. this is more that just forgetting.

When looking at the goat merchant and the leader, I pushed my emotions inside and cleared my throat once.





"Oh well. It was a light chat before negotiations, let's just run it in various ways. Well, For the main subject, It is that you desired a defense facilities against planet invasion, It is value that you cannot pay, Or perhaps, it becomes a compensation, but I still don't understand it well.(Goat Merchant)

Goat Merchant is still mad after all.

He just said the main point but I fell like being told that, 'Even if you do not match your own status, to make such a demand'.

"Well, that's about it"　

"Although it may be misunderstood, But I will refuse it first, I will not sell it in your earth's currency. Unified currencies can be used for each trade area, But if it is still large in scale, credit will be insufficient. If it capturing a star or it becomes a scale of preventing invasion of one star, It is still more valuable than collecting all the currency issued by that star. Therefore it is impossible to exchange the currency of that star with the common currency used in the trade zone, and there is no way to actually accept payment.

Thus, I can tell it that credit becomes insufficient"

Of course, if you live in a star that have a unified currency and gathers all the currency of that star, it may be possible, but it is not realistic.

"If it's like that, If we can't buy it with money ... can we just barter exchange?"

"Yes you can, It is common to do so in a planet-wide transaction that pays consideration with equivalent worth. So I am proposing this time, but if you want something that can protect a star from being invaded, you need a defense facilities that exceeds that attack, so I am afraid that it will be a bit expensive."

In short, We can pay it?.... Or it seems to say.

"I understood that. Thank you for being honest, I understood well. Well, this time it's this card, I will tell you about it."

"To your satisfaction"

"What is the value of the pendant Minoru handed to you"

"If it's the Divided Notice, it certainly was a gem that was worth enough to exchange it with one star. However, it is an exclusive article and will not be possessed anymore. Or is that you want it to double it's value? If it, that's a bit excessive...... "

"Okay, haven't you heard what I said? I am asking the value of that pendant"(Leader)

" ............ "

" ............ "

" Well, it's true, I thought it was a design you can not see easily. "(Goat Merchant)

"That's right, so you brought it to your business?"(Leader)

"Were you aware?"(Goat Merchant)

"That is what my is card, First card is it's design, and the second card was what created it. Maker ...... No, It faithfully reproduce the intention of the creator "

[What?] The leader asked for two people.(TN:It meant that she bargain two people)

"Since the order was for it to not be noticeable, I draw the design like that."(Shino)

"It was because the design was delicate, I emphasize on durability as it can use on a daily basis."(Tatsuhiko)

Tatsuhiko made a 'bishi' sound with his thumb.(TN: Bishi as a SFX)

"That's not all, right?"

It is the face which some cleaning lady found a secret of her master.

"Well, I did my best in it, did you notice?"(Shino)

"Oh, I got such an atmosphere from the design, so I was serious about making the most of it. "(Tatsuhiko)

Wait a moment!

Worked hard? Did you say Shino did her best?

From the design of decorative items, book binding, that is what this woman who received great praise by designing it in one hand even a city plan, 'did her best'?

Or rather, Tatsuhiko. How many classes did you think that were cancelled with that strange Statue you made?

Even material series lets you shed tears like anecdote, what makes you serious!(TN: I don't get this... It have a pretty hard kanji mix in it)

Damn it, they both told me they wern't serious.

I should not accept it if it's such a masterpiece.

"Well, it is a work that says that our hand # 1 and hand # 2 do their best, how was it?"

"It is a good example that the development of art and the degree of development of civilization have nothing to do with it. Well let's say that it will have a big rave for those who can do planetary shopping."

I see ... Viva, my pendant.

"To what extent would that be a price for that?"

"It is wonderful to be honest, it will be about a spaceship, it is still far for planet, is it not?

"Well, that part is within my range of expectation"

Were something like an entrepreneur.

Besides, the leader patronage is bad.

"So, I will let rent you this hand"(Leader)

“Huh?”

"Ue!?"

"These guys will shine as much as they gain knowledge. Even this, they are still rough gem. That's why you will take them around and pick up customers. With 15% of the profit fee, I will ask powerful person to get rich as much as possible "(Leader)

"Is it fund-raising and connection making?"(Goat Merchant)

"Yes, because we cannot just make a defensive mechanism alone, we need to make friendly relations. It is making connection plus fundraising. Although I want to select a patron carefully, it's just there's no time to be picky, so I do not know what will happen at all and just leave it to trust."(Leader)

"What if I betray you in the shadows?"(Goat Merchant)

"Here's a trump card, do not let it go."(Leader)

What? Me?

"……I understand. It would be beneficial for me to grow them for the future. I will cooperate. "(Goat Merchant)

Somewhat, the negotiation has advanced smoothly.

"Well, that about for the business negotiation. This time it is my personal request, but ... "

The leader grinned.

Without fail, I don'd think it will be a good thing

17. Conversation with the Goat Merchant

---

I distributed to the three of them the ribbon which I took out.

".....What is this?"

"Communication equipment used by alien. After being wrap on a wrist, it will be automatically adjusted and it will be invisible from the outside"

"Oh.. Let see"

It wrapped around the wrist and assimilated in the arm .

"Oh, this is amazing! It is really invisible from the outside."

I pointed my wrist towards the leader, a registration screen came out.

After completing the registration, gently touch the newly registered name.

Immediately after, the leader said, "What, this, the wrist trembles!"

I started to laugh.

"Is this okay?"(Leader)

"Oh, it sounds good. I can hear it clearly"

Even with such a simple communication device, it seems that unimaginable technology is put on it.

"Okay, please get in touch with the goat merchant immediately. Because where not acquaintance with any alien, It is bad to make him angry. Please talk as gently as possible. "(Leader)

"Roger!!"

I am in high-spirit






I switched off the call and touched the name that seemed to be a goat merchant.

The registration name has become Fudierit.

Yeah, it's the name of a goat merchant who I forgot to ask.

Later I'll turn it into goat.

"Oh it's Minoru-dono, what happened?"

It was immediately connected.
It is splendid to be able to use it regardless of the distance.

"I am sorry for calling you so suddenly."

"It's Okay, Because the business talk was just over"

"Yes, actually I am with my friends now, but one of them said that she really wanted to talk. If it's okay, would you please listen her story? "

" Yes, that's fine. You can make a multi-party call, If she is there, please let her participate. "

This should allow all of us to talk.





"Can you hear me? I am a friend of Minoru, I am Agano Sae"

"I am the Merchant Fudierit Mason"

"I'll be prompt, I would like to enter into a business talk. "

"Ohh, what kind of business talks?

He seemed to be surprised, but when he hear it was a business talk, I feel that power entered his voice.

"How much compensation is necessary for buying this star's safety? It is one of the commodity that I first presented to Minoru, but mostly it was about planetary occupation or forced development. So that means that there are such fellows that can do it. " (TN: Planet Invasion)

"Well ... Yes, I will not deny it. However, the power of the guardian of the star is amazing. I wonder if they can act against the strongest power of that star."

"I know that, this is a rare ring. However, there are things we need to do in our world, and it is impossible to stay here all the time. Above all, there are no countermeasures, there is a big difference in weapon. Even if at least the guardian of the star is not here, I want a strength enough to overcome an invasion."

"Ho Ho - this became big. so it is that business talk? ...... I will do it, and as for the compensation what can you prepare?"

"There is a card, but how to use the cards is unknown. So I will say it frankly. Prepare what I want, I will prepare the cards and tell the rules of how to use the cards."(I can't really translate it well, But this card can also mean hand.. So you won't understand what she meant until next chapter)

It's not a low attitude at all, is it going to make him angry?

"Oh my god, do you really have a card that will cost you? It is a little doubtful. "

"We do not sell cheap. There will be no bargaining."

" ... .......... "

After a long silence, I felt that my mind had gone loose.

"Okay, it would be better to meet and talk more than this. I will have you tell me about that card. I will head to the nearby transposition gate, so I guess I can go there in about an hour. "

It said that "I am looking forward to hearing from you", then the call has ended.






"Er ... ... about the card?"

Maybe you mean me?

"I meant only half of what I was talking about"

"By the way, the vice-leader is the trump card"

"What? Well, Eehh?"(Minoru)

I don't know what she meant.

Fairly one hour later, the transition gate glowed, and the appearance of one man appeared.

"""It is a Goat!!"""

Yeah, that's right, but to scream!

You're going to get him angry, right?

SS1 Agano Sae First Day of School

Author's Note: Since there was a request for the story of the five people in college days, I wrote a bit.
Because main part continues after this, please skip this one if you want.

TN: This was written in 3rd-Person but with mixed of first-person perspective of Sae. And Sae was really written here a lot!!

---

That year, At Ninomae University Talent Entrance Exam, five successful candidates appeared.(TN: Don't really know what to use for talent, maybe art? Art entrance exam? or skilled entrance exam?")

Today is the orientation of the talent examinee group.

Agano Sae opened the doors of the classroom vigorously, When she glance inside the classroom, she frowned.

The time will soon be 9:00, it is time to start the orientation.

"Why are there's two people who haven't come yet? It is sloppier than I thought, Aren't the two of them were one's with talent?"

Because the success passer in recent years is zero, The 5 people who passed the entrance exam would attracted the public's attention.

(... I do not think that they decline, but if it is simply late, it is bewildering)

Orientation starts at 9 am and ends at 5 pm.

Those two must have a reason, and it will be detained for a long time, I can hardly believe that this is just a mere orientation.

I don't want to associate with those dull guys.

"Tsk!! If those two are useless, it might be better to expel them?"

Sae sits sullenly in her chair at hand.

Immediately after, the door was opened without sound, and a small woman appeared.

(A pretty small person, and what's with that robe?)

A small woman who tied a front opening robe with a waist strap took one step into the classroom and shouted "Ah" and turned around and left.

tatsutatsutatsuta ....... (TN: I just leave it raw!! Probably a sound effect)

There a sound of a shoe running down the hallway.

(Hey ... what the hell is that, is that a freshman too?)

The time has already passed around nine o'clock.

The remaining three student in classroom was wrapped with heavy atmosphere, Only the man at the back rose to his feet.

The moment when he put his hand on the door that was left open to leave the classroom, A flash of light flicker.

Immediately after, "Don!" A crushing sound echoes and dust fills the air.

(.....Kuh!!)

Sae throws herself into the glass window and escapes outside.

(Third Floor!) 

After confirming the falling point, she land with both hands on both feet, and rolls out.

When Sae raised her face, the concrete school building collapsed as a result of the sound.

"The target is me?"

Last year, after acting rashly a little, She was chased from all direction.

(I knew that they haven't giving up yet, but I did not think that they will chased so much that they attacked in public.)

"If it as I imagine, it would mean that they have been involved with my mistake"(TN: She meant was her classmates)

Sae who stood up felt something wrong with her left ankle.

Apparently, she seems to have sprained on landing.

As she felt people gathered, Sae left the place calmly.





It was as Sae imagine, the fact that the bomb was set up was the work of a party who regards hostility toward Sae, they secretly obtain the time and place where Sae will appear.

With sharp intuitions on battle, can sense bloodthirst carefully, and can "avoid" sniper rifle. The people who became irritated with Sae and want to kill her, they set a timed bomb where bloodthirst cannot be sense.

Sae think about taking a revenge on the people who involved unrelated persons, but the two people who were thought to be dead were alive.

A bone is snapped and It seems necessary to have long-term hospitalization, but it is quite a strong luck.

"As expected to the talent entrance exam group"

She was relieved that no one died, but she found a strange things in the incoming information.




"A woman who entered the classroom then suddenly left, said she had done all the arrangements after the accident"

The attitude of the woman was normal before entering the classroom.

With one step entering, she has the face that understands everything that have done, perhaps she probably understand entirely.(TN: Understand about the timed-bomb)

There should have been no time to explain circumstances in time, so she run away.

If so, her judgment skill in sudden moment is good.

Knowing everything by being on the spot, is it such feeling?

It was fearful, it was the impression of Sae toward that woman.

But why didn't the teacher come to that place?

It is strange.

It was around 9 o'clock.

Orientation should have started. 

As for the reason why the teacher did not appear is that because just before it happen, he receive a phone call from Minoru Yabane, freshman who passed the entrance exam.

"I'm going to take a rest today."

With that one phone call. It is said that all faculty members did not show up at that place.

As Sae heard about it.

"Kakakaka..... A woman who steps forward and understands everything, and a mysterious man who avoids it somehow. It's fun because the world is like this!"(TN:Again!! I just leave it raw!)

Forgetting the pain on her ankle, Sae has a ferocious smile.




Sae looked forward to it.

Of the five people who enrolled together, She haven't met a man named Yabane Minoru. Sae will met Minoru after three more days. As for five people meeting all together, It took another 3 months.

From now on, their legends will be spoken mainly as the two former universities, but Minoru did not know such a thing, but he murmured a small "Lucky" when he hear the news of the orientation postponement.(TN: It mean the legend about Minoru and Maya?? When they avoid the bombing)

16. Action Guidelines

TN: Agricultural and Land Management talk are sooo hard to grasp!! I don't really get it. Also as usual a put some name tag on some of the lines so it will be easier to understand. Then Enjoy the chapter!!

---

"First of all, No matter what, we must secure the field on earth first"

"But ...... I rent it from father for one year, so do you have to do it right away? "

"Yeah, being it was own by your parent is bad. If this secret know by a third party, They will negotiate the purchase of the field directly to your parents. That way they will take you out in a hot spring trip, during that time they will negotiate triple the market price, and prepare alternative spots as replacement so they can buy it right away."

If I am the parents, I feel like pushing the seal with delight already.

"Next, surround the field with a retaining wall so that nobody can come in and go out"

"If the entrance and exit is close then can we not do anything about it too?"

"Next is negotiations with you. If I wish to use the transposition gate, I can pay a royalty or a part of the star's right. I have to ask you what to say, negotiate by threatening to destroy the transitional gate. During the negotiations, use all hands to see if I can move the transitional gate to another place. If it can, convey it to a place where nobody knows and cease negotiations with you."

"Well, that is a problem."

"So first of all, get the land ownership. I will give you the money. Because the fields cannot be bought except by a farmers, so you will buy it. The contract will be made by me, you can become the observer "

By the way. the leader have a qualification of a real-estate.




“As for field, in the end?”

"We need an enclosure so people cannot enter. Will be in trouble if they mistakenly entered it. As for materials, the combination of a single pipe and a wind protection net should not bear attention. It will be as a pretext as countermeasures for wild monkey."

"Indeed, it can be done as soon as possible because it's available at the home depot."

"If it okay, Then I would like to submit an Agricultural land Diversion notification, but I feel that we will be saw as an Agricultural Districts. If it is an urbanization adjustment area, because it is only the local agricultural committee member and the city urbanization adjustment division in the city, it can easily be approved by that reason, Because the agricultural district has no department to consult in advance"(TN: I don't really get this paragraph)

It is regrettable ......and the leader groaned.

By the way, when you change classification of land and category, They will questioned you the purpose of use.




"What should we do first?"

"First is securing a base. Where everyone can live together and do not receive any strange interference, secure place that will not be suspicious. I would like to rent a whole Terrace house of an apartments."

Terrace house is a rental residence where detached houses have common walls like tenement houses.

"Let's live there, But what should we do with our company?"(Shino)

Shino launched a design company in her school days.

"After a while, the time we spent on earth will decrease. So leave it to a trustworthy one, then come here and stay here."

"Oh well. It will take a little time, But I think I can somehow manage it" (Shino)

"I'm all right. Originally my base was not really decided yet."(Tatsuhiko)

As expected the hermit who applies on the world.

But let's have a base.

"How big will the terrace house be?"

"Because only five people need to stay in it, 2 '3LDK' is good" (TN: 3 Living room, 1 Dining area, and 1 Kitchen.)

"Do I also stay in it? Is it no possible to stay with my parents house?"(Minuro)

"Here and earth's time is totally different. Won't going home in the middle of the night or going out will be suspicious from your parent's house?"(Leader)

" Ah, It will be suspicious."(Minuro)

"Then leave home, saying that you want to develop independence."(Leader)

"I understand. Other than that?"(Minuro)




"Then, we need a way from the national highway to the field, I want the list of landowners on both sides, And I will eventually purchase them all."

“Money...... Is it enough?”

"I saw that it could be bought for about 5 billion to 10 billion. If it goes beyond that, there are various way. Anyway, it will not be a 3meter road. Even a development application requires a 6meter road. I would like a road width of about 15meter with a median strip and a 2 lanes of one way if possible. To do that, purchased in the surrounding area are absolute necessary."




The talk suddenly became big.

Well, it seems there is no need to hurry.

"Does vice-leader have contact with the goat merchant? Or rather, If you don't have then we can't do anything here. Therefore where stuck here"

"I have a contact"

"Then it is good. Please give it a call as soon as possible."

"Oh, Then I will give this to everyone."

I took out the spare ribbon I kept.

15. Procedure is Important

Selecting the time where everyone returns, I started talking.

Things about failing on job hunting, receiving a field at home and was told to raise the earnings there for one year, encountering a goat like alien when I went to see the field at night and other things...

The three people who were listening to my story threw out a great deal of breath.

"Encountering a [goat like alien] right?"

Um it is a goat for me though.




"For now, those who have questions go first!"

In rough voice of leader, Shino raised her hand first.

"So what is the difference if the guardian of the star stay here or not?"

"Reduction of disasters like catastrophic disasters, eruptions, earthquakes, storms, and so on. And also the ice age will never come. It seems that we can remain it in a mild climate for a long time."

"Indeed, after all mankind converts energy to electricity, it is something unknown what that ring is gathering ...... "

Shino mutter.

Tatsuhiko raised his hand.

"Is it true that there are no other human race or intelligent life form in this star?"

"I can know it with this ring, so it is a fact that there are no sign of such organism was born, And before I became the owner, because the stars themselves were sealed, it is impossible to migrate from the outside."

"I don't know about the seal of the star"

Takahiko, I do not know well either.

"The ring cannot collect energy unless there is a guardian, in which case the surplus energy will have a negative effect on the star, as there is no guardian. So it seem I have to use the star's surplus energy and use it for the seal and maintenance of the star."

Although it is an aside, the reason why intellectual life forms are not born is that life without stress can be set depending on the controlled climate, so the evolution of the animals and plants is not made, or it seems to be because it is performed considerably slowly.

[A strong man do not evolve] As the goat merchant said such a thing.

"Then, I'm next, is it possible to steal the ring or transfer it to another hands.?" (Leader)

"It is impossible to be take away, But it can be transfer, so basically it cannot be against the owner's intention"

" Hmm. For it to be robbed on earth is that even possible?...... Your enemy will perish before they even act."(Leader)

Then, the leader laughed, You as the owner in some way the strongest.

"Well, if it's someone else, [Be taken by surprise] seems possible, but if it's Minoru then worrying is useless." (Leader)

By the way, because transfer is possible, it is possible to transfer it to your descendants.

"So what do you want to do with this star? Is there something you'd like to do?"(Leader)





"Nothing really. It's embarrassing but I can not think of anything. "(Minoru)

"Okay, but first of all, Country's intervention is not good."(Leader)

By the way, the leader is not compatible with the country.

"No matter what reason, it is childish to relay on national unit. I can only see it as declaration of flag and claiming the territory."(Leader)

"You thinks so? Even if its for the benefit of the citizen, the country will justify it."(Minoru)

"It should be a shared property of mankind! The large country will fight for land for 1000 pesos!!"(TN: Not really know what it mean, and yes! It is written as peso)

As I have seen, but since they said it, I think it will probably happen.

Then, what should I do?

"Until preparation is complete, this is strictly confidential, it is good that vice-leader contacted us first, probably by mistaking the procedure, it will be troublesome." (Leader)

"How do you intend to use this star based on that? " (Minoru)

"For now I have a plan, but I have to consult it with vice-leader, and the goat merchant? We will involve that guy."(Leader)

Hmm, I do not have any good idea, but the goat merchant?

As for the loan debt being gone, There is no such card even if he get involved.





"Well then, I will start from the one with the highest priority first, that field on Earth, I will buy it first"(Leader)

............ Ha?

The leader looked at my face and laughed a little.

14. Gathering of Natural Disaster

I understood, to think they were my friends, their confession leave me in shock.

I am receiving damage unexpectedly.

While listening to the two of them talking with a distant eyes, my mobile phone shook.

It must be leader.

I am not proud but there's no more friends coming.

As I read the mail, I spoke to them.

"It's seems leader have arrived, So we have to go."

When we left the coffee shop, at the station's ticket gates there was a gorgeous beautiful girl wrapped in camouflage clothing, lighting a cigarette on her mouth.





"Wow, the leader was doing something somewhere again"

"It seems so, but don't ask anymore, it's scary in various way."

This is our leader Agano Sae, could be call as a military crusher?

Her motto's are [to break if it has shape], [to break as more delicate as possible], [destruction before destruction, destruction after destruction] and so on.





Early after entering college, three emerging religious groups were destroyed.

I was the one who helped.

So for the two of us, we are known as "The Walking Disaster".

Actually the one who is fault is she, showing her temporary form to the public. .

Still, she has never expose her true nature yet, and there's no point knowing if the leader has any character or what.





When the leader found us, she stubbed out the cigarette with a mobile ashtray and put it away in her pocket.

I think that these places are really refined.

"Receiving【ORDER】from the vice-leader, of course I will come, It is a thing that makes me live long.

She is a classmate.

Certainly it is true that when a people that are always standing in a place that is not uncommon to die in any moment, the thing she said sounds right.

"Sorry leader, Miya cannot be contacted, so it will be just the of us four, I will tell you a detailed story at our destination."

"Oh... Is it because I finish half of the world, that you was forced to became the subordinates of the Dragon King? I look forward for the detailed story."

She deliberately saying skittish terms, but actually it is true...... No, let's stop it.





I came in front of the car then I got on. (TN: I been translating this to car but it really say mini car or mini truck, But because it seems hassle to decide, I just pick car.)

"Because it's a two-seater, one is a passenger seat, the rest will have to ride at the loading platform."

I turn the seat of the car and show that there is space.

"I do not mind, But why is it a two-seater! You know I will come, so please borrow and use a taxi."

"You did not want to stand out, and also there's no time "

"... Well it's okay, I guess. There's a lot of circumstances, So I can understand that we can't stand out, I will ride back with Tatsuhiko. Shino will ride in the front"

After confirming that we all got on board, I started the car.






"""............"""

We went to field with a car and I immediately registered three people at the console of the transposition gate and took them to the stars without any question.

We brought tents and chairs for outdoor, which we unloaded on the car, and arrange it... Again without any question.

With one breath, I tried to start the explanation, but the consciousness of the three people did not return at all.

I was helping making a tent, so I heard it that it seems that we have not yet let go of what we should throw away first, such as common sense or reality.

"... Well, wait a minute."

I looked up at the sky.

It was morning on earth, but sun here was about to sink.

13. Do not want to be Enemy

TN: I made a mistake on chapter 11 and 12 but I already fix it!! So for those who have already read it before I fix it please skim-read it. It just 1 line and it affect how I translate the whole chapter 12!! Am so stupid!!

TN : This chapter is so hard to translate.. Well there's nothing I can do. I put some name on some of the line so you will know who is speaking.

My second colleague have arrived

His name is Kuonji Tatsuhiko.

If to describe him in one word, it is genius artist. (TN: It's not one word XD)

There are only few people who can understand his sensitivity.

But once you feel the charm of his piece, you will be captivated by it.

In general it is anonymous, since the person himself dislikes to stand out, even though some is too famous in some sense, so information of himself does not spread.

Also, as there is no one who will let go of the work of Tatsuhiko, some of it with not appear on the market, it is also called a famous Hermit.




"I do not know what happened but it must not be a trivial matter."

"I will talk after leader arrive, it is something that I cannot handle alone" (Minuro)

Tatsuhiko complexion changed, Shino brought the tea to his mouth and settled.

"For you to have uncontrollable situation ... I won't be surprise even if Japan sinks next week" (Tatsuhiko)

It not a compliment right?

"For you to cannot handle it alone, is it surpass natural disaster level?" (Shino?)

What is with that, I should know coming from a friend, well I guess it is an unjust evaluation. (TN: I don't really know how to translate this well " なんだろ、よく知ってるはずの友人から、不当な評価が来たんですけど。")

"Both of you, aren't you overestimating me?" (Minuro)

""No way!""

It's a good relationship.




"At the end of the year there was an incident that the Chinese mafia head was arrested, right?" (Shino)

"Oh, there was such news " (Minoru)

"That your fault, right?" (Shino)

"... ... Ha?" (Minoru)

I have no memory of me being involve.

"You went on a hot spring before that, right?"

" Oh yeah, I brought a hot spring bun as a souvenir, It was delicious"

"I don't care about the buns, you are caught up in the conflict between the mafia during the trip"

"Well, not in memory. "

"It seems you see something. So they will chase you with the intention of extinguishing the witness, because of you the enemy forces of the opposing side will also move, so conflict intensified from there"

I can not be caught on drawing both sides, when the last war broke out, It seems that both sides have been used.

"Is not it related to me?"

"The other side seems to think that you knew everything and purposely took it... By the way the source of this all is the family of leader. It is why at the beginning of the year the weakened mafia was destroyed by leader."(TN: The leader of their group)

"What is she doing ...... That girl"

Is like crossing over with only a boat, but happily be destroyed in it.

"Because you are not even aware of the crisis of that level, you
can not imagine the uncontrollable situation . "

I see ... it is troublesome ....

"I understand whatever you want to say, I think it sounds bad"

"I do not think so, the leader also says that she did not want you and Miya to be her enemy."

That again......The walking disaster leader is opportunistic.

"By the way I also agree. I also thought about it since last year and I thought It was a tail that we should not be stepping on"(Shino)

"And I wonder if I can also be added. With all of our strength we can get it to positive."(Tatsuhiko)




"Both of you are awful. What did Miya and I do to you?"

"That's not the problem, As the leader says, the ability of the three of us is active. However, you and Miya ability seem to be passive.

Passive.... That's true.

"You the moment you turn around to the enemy, you will somehow avoid the attack. And as the enemy continued vigilance for twenty-four hours, At that moment, you can break it with your unconscious counterattack. As the leader life close to an end, I was saying that you should bring it to a draw "

That's technically impossible.

"So do you want it be your enemy, [THE ONE FEARED AS A WALKING DISASTER]"

"I will stops it!"

I feel like I can not do anything if it gets established.
