2nd Arc, Chapter 39: A Weirdo Entered the Scene
Translated by Soyokaze Translations: soyokazeweb . wordpress . com
3 days after leaving Rahon.
The journey is going exceedingly smoothly.
With the to-do over the bandits, and the wyvern disturbance, we were being vigilant, thinking “what else is going to happen?” but
At this rate it looks like well arrive at Solkalis the day after tomorrow.
Its the afternoon break, and Im sitting on my masters lap, working on unraveling Fafnirs tendon
The current Third Eye uses a thick silver wire as its string, reinforced with [Strength] and [Toughness].
If I used typical things for the bow, like string or animal tendons, then it wouldnt be able to handle the force from it.
Since it needed a magic circle carved in it, the bowstring ended up thick, and it doesnt feel very elastic, but that was the only problem.
Thats where Fafnirs tendon comes in.
Rather than this half-baked metal string, the much tougher, supple, and highly elastic tendon is optimal as Third Eyes bowstring.
The problem is the work of taking apart this stupidly huge tendon. The work is very complex and requires a lot of patience
“Ugh, this is tougher than I thought it would be. And [Telekinesis] isnt suited to fine detail work like this.”
“I think the real question is this: why do you need to do that work on my lap?”
“Because if I take my eyes off you for a second then youll start flirting with miss Bella, wont you?”
“I have no intention of getting in other peoples hair!”
“I see your point, youre having your own hair trouble.”
“Stop talking about that!”
My master holds down the hair on his head in worry. He has been worried about that lately.
Also, please dont move around too much. Since that time Ive been pretty conscious of it, you know? That one place thats touching me
“Fufu, youre still quite fine mister Haster. Youre still in top form.”
“Thank you for saying so. My apprentice is merciless.”
I feel like miss Bella is being more extreme in her attacks with my master as part of the Forest Bear escort.
Im enduring the embarra.s.sment of sitting here while doing my work, because its also supposed to be a restraint.
Mister Bhav, please reign her in a bit more!
“Be careful Master, carnivorous girls are dangerous.”
“Arent you mainly carnivorous yourself, Yuuri?”
“Well I do love meat”
“Then Ill add more ham to your sandwich, Yuuri.”
“Oh, me too! Add some to mine too please!”
“Ah, me too please!”
“s.h.a.gya!”
Miss Leche was handling the meal for us, and she added ham on mine.
Seeing that, Jack requested the same for his. Alec and Yig got on board with it too.
“Mister Jack, if you hold Alec dear as your big bro, then shouldnt you be giving him your ham sandwich?”
“Well, I uh?! But ugh!”
Trapped between loyalty and his tastes, mister Jack struggles. Then for some reason, mister Bhav covers for him.
“In that case, shouldnt little miss Yuuri be giving her sandwich to mister Haster?”
“Huh?! Uh but, Im still a growing girl!”
“Even though you dont grow?”
“Master, thats confidential information.”
“Uh whoops.”
My careless master easily leaked highly cla.s.sified information.
Gosh, theres meow helping this guy.
“Ah, sir Alec, here, have mine!”
“Really? Ah, but you need to eat properly, Marle, or you wont get any bigger, like Yuuri.”
“Eh? That would be troubling but your stomach is more important!”
“Hey! What part of me are you comparing when you say that?!”
The winner in life, Marle, tries to cleverly earn some points. I guess you could call her a beast in life at this point.1
And what do you mean being like me would be troubling?! Yeah, it really is.
“Whats wrong with being small? Children are the only ones who can sit on laps like this, you know?”
“Please dont treat me like a child too, Masteeeeer!”
While being bounced on his lap, I state my dissatisfaction.
Master, if you keep treating me like a child, Ill pull on it again!

I somehow managed to resupply on my masters essence in the afternoon, so I went on my late night walk feeling satisfied.
“The wind feels really nice tonight, Yig.”
“Ugyu?”
My master also seems to be aware of my night time strolls, but hes allowing it because Ive got Yig along with me.
Despite being a child, hes the offspring of Fafnir. Yig is much stronger than the monsters around here.
“Im counting on you to guard me tonight, Yig.”
“Agya!”
Without going too deep, Im taking a light stroll near the entrance to a grove a trees.
The night time breeze is cool, and the surrounding vegetation releases just enough moisture to make the humidity feel nice on my skin.
“Dont they say this has to do with negative ions?”2
“Ugyu~ Gyagyah”
It looks like my good mood has infected Yig, too.
He flies around me, almost like hes dancing.
After walking around for about 10 minutes, we found a perfect stone to sit on, so well take a short break.
Taking out Third Eye, with its newly remade string, I try giving it a light tug.
“Next, if I use the bone as reinforcement for the bow, I suppose it will be complete?”
Yig makes a strange face, brings his nose close to the bow and gives it a sniff.
I wonder if some of his parents scent remains on it? I feel like Im doing something cruel now.
“Part of this bow was made from your real mother after all, Yig. Though it was a matter of life and death”
Part of the reason being, Fafnir would need something to feed on, and with a new child, the amount of that feed would increase.
We couldnt give it Rahon as a feeding ground, but if the people gathered a bunch of fish, then they could have thrown the whole net to it.
Of course, even that way, they were at no obligation to feed it, so they would probably strike back against it.
“I dont want you to attack people. Because humans are actually the scary onwhos there?!”
Suddenly, I felt something strong nearby yeah, I can only describe it as feeling something with a really strong presence.
I pull an iron arrow from the quiver on my back, and point it in the direction of that feeling in threat.
“Wait. If I startled you, then I apologize.”
Saying that, a boy of about 14 or 15 years old stepped out from behind the trees. Like me, he had silver hair and red eyes.
His slender body was like that of an illusion and yet he gives off a very certain sense of reality.
Seeing his figure, I knit my eyebrows together.
Despite appearing young, he had the ability to come near me without making a sound on the piled up leaves in the area.
This guy is strong no, hes unbelievably so.
With my masters training, Im learning a technique to see through my opponents abilities.
But even with that, I couldnt grasp his abilities.
“Please dont come any closer. If you do, then I will shoot you without mercy, got it?”
“I wouldnt want that. That bow looks like itll hurt.”
As if he doesnt even feel slightly threatened, he says that in an aloof manner.
Towards something so formidable, without making any sort of threat, Yig dropped to the ground, trembling. Hes scared.
The most frightening thing of all is “Appraisal” isnt reacting to him.
When I use “Appraisal” on the s.p.a.ce around him, all it tells me is “something is there”.
“I will ask again. Who are you?”
“I am lets see, could you call me Bart?”
“You arent even trying to hide that its an alias.”
“Yeah, well I suppose not. Ive got a reason why I cant tell you my real name. Itll be a secret, just like your gifts.”
“Wha?!”
(I like to call him Baut but thats not really much of a name in English)
So hes saying he even knows about my gifts?
“Just how much do you know? What did you come here for?”
“I believe I know all about you. And I came here to take a look at the “Dragon Slaying Hero”.”
“In that case, you should head over to that merchant group.”
“Im not interested in the mock-ups youve presented. I believe I said I know all about you.”
“In that case, I hope youre satisfied. The exit is that way.”
I point in the direction behind the boy.
“How cold. Arent we companions in destroying the commandments of the world?”
” Commandments?”
“Everything that lives, must die all things born into the world must follow this “unbreakable commandment” decided by G.o.d. Thats what Im talking about.”
In other words, hes saying that he also?
“So you are trying to say that you also have eternal youth and immortality?”
“Though it appears the source of it is different from yours. I also comprehend that you defeated Fafnir and became quite attached to it as well.”
Bart sends a light glance towards Yig. He even knows about Fafnir?
And he even takes a look at Third Eye.
“Well, it would be best not to let its corpse out into the world. At the very least, you do understand that, so Im relieved.”
“It is securely sealed. Do not worry.”
“Honestly I feel that I also want to retrieve the parts that youve distributed to them you see. Well, I suppose Ill leave that within your rights to decide.”
” You seem awfully demanding with the things someone else acquired. Who the h.e.l.l do you think you are?”
“Me.” (Boku-sama)
“Dont screw with me!”
Crying out, I fully drew Third Eye with the same kind of improved arrow that I used to kill Fafnir.
I also fully activated my magic. On top of two types of [Body Reinforcement], I placed two [Lightning] spells in front of me.
I composed them into a long rail exceeding 5 meters, inside of which a strong Lorentz force occurs.
This is the greatest reason to have iron arrows a [Rail Cannon].
Before my eyes is an enigma of a being. All I instinctively know is that he is a threat. In which case, I will follow that instinct!
The arrow is fired, faster than the speed of sound, into the rail.
A dry, light bang, like the sound of a firecracker rings out. But that was the sound of the iron arrow reaching 25 times the speed of sound, and busting through a wall of air.
The only other sounds after that were the vibrations dissipating into the surroundings.
The arrow melted down from the friction in the air, and flew while vaporizing. Unlike a [Heat Ray], it has ma.s.s to it, which makes it spread destruction.
At the same time, the resulting shock wave blew me away, and I rolled on the ground.
Snap, crack, with every roll comes the sounds of my bones breaking. My left leg, my right arm, the fingers on my left hand
Even so, I didnt die, which I suppose you could say was lucky for me.
The scene before me was destruction for 30 meters, and the endless debris of the grove.
30 meters. The melting arrow could only fly that far.
While I can boast about its ma.s.sive attack strength, the reason its not very usable is because of the short range and long preparation time.
However the power of it was huge, and all that remained of Bart were his ankles. He completely disappeared.
” Was I able to beat him?”
The moment my tiny voice leaked out
The regeneration started. From the ankles, bones, meat, and flesh pile up, and like a video playing in reverse, a persons shape forms.
And it only took tens of seconds.
“No way”
His regeneration speed far surpa.s.ses mine.
After showing that hard to believe display, he just lightly twists his neck and
“That hurt. Well, I suppose I was also in the wrong for scaring you. There really was no need to suddenly shoot me though.”
He took my strongest attack, and his impression was simply “that hurt”? Dont screw with me.
“Maybe it was unreasonable to ask you not to be cautious of me? I would probably attack someone so suspicious too.”
” Ah.”
Right, I attacked him. He didnt show any clear intention of hostility.
I cant even complain if he attacks me now.
This completely unbelievable being, he
“Well, Ill let you have your free time for today. Ah, dont worry. Im not your enemy right now. So next time Id like a warmer welcome.”
Saying that, he turned aroundand disappeared.
I didnt intend on taking my eyes off of him, but Im not sure when he vanished.
What the h.e.l.l was that?

” Is this world some kind of monster hangout spot, Yig?”
By the time I noticed, my back was already drenched in cold sweat, greasy sweat, and who knows what else.
“I kind of feel like taking a bath. Yig, could you go prepare one for me?”
“Ugyu?”
Im covered in mud from rolling on the ground, and though my bones are healed, Im still b.l.o.o.d.y.
The bath was a joke, but if I dont make some small talk, then I feel like Ill faint
“Actually, my legs have given out. I cant walk.”
“Gyu~”
Neither my waist, nor my legs will listen to me. However, my whole body is trembling now.
Im exhausted and anxious, and I just want to sleep I want to get away from this dream-like reality
“Yuuri! Are you alright?! What happened?!”
From far away, I could hear my masters voice calling. That puts my mind at ease.
“Thank goodness I can sleep now.”
Saying that, I collapsed and fell asleep on the ground.

Translators Corner:
Some escort you turned out to be, Yig! You had ONE JOB!
And enter immortal number 2 (actually, number 1)
This was a pun that I could not find a decent way to translate. Yuuri is calling Marle a “Riajuu” which as many may know, essentially means someone whos got a good life, often happily together with someone. But Yuuri calls her a riajuu a second time, this time replacing the character “Juu” with the character for animal (also read “Juu”). Not completely sure what shes getting at here, so may be translated poorly:
