Translator’s Corner (Cast: an English Clown and a French Pierrot)
Clown: First, for those who only follow my translation, for chapter 14-17 please refer to links provided on the chapter list page As appeared in chapter 14, I think, the skill I previously translated as [Coercion] will now be known as [Inti to explain why you fearcreatures… they don’t speak, create invisible furniture They twist reality! I have always viewed them as proof of Descartes’ methodic doubt
Pierrot: Umm… what?
Clown: His famous principle? That the only fact we can be sure of is that we, ourselves, exist
Pierrot: What’s the punchline?
Clown: There is none
Pierrot: Hilarious Have you ever considered a career as a Clown?
Clown: …
Pierrot: Never even considered it, huh?
Clown: I ah, not report on the situation
Clown: Fine! What happens when a frog’s car breaks down? It gets toad away!!!
Empowerment Arc
Chapter 18 – The End of Tur a Cabinet Minister is very bad
Of course…
「Brother… what have you done?」
So said Kaidou, having brought in the soldiers
Never
He was so diligent, that even when invited to go drinking, he’d refuse by saying he had duties to attend to
Thus, for an incident to occur while he was on duty, was naturally surprising
They could easily run away, but that would be a poor choice…
「H rude toat Minister Bester as being nursed by four soldiers
Bester, on the other hand, was so shocked and surprised that he couldn’t even stand
Blood was dripping frolared stupidly atpunched Thus, he was so surprised, that he probably didn’t even feel the pain
「Oi oi… “just so an enemy of the h
「Anyways… I’ll have to restrain the people present」
He said, and gave his subordinates an order
But, only audible to us, he added,
「We won’t harm you, so please come peacefully!」
Hefurther trouble
Thus, old coins
And, in reply to her surprise,
「I included the inconvenience fee! I’ll be back!」
Such were ood shop, and I’d be very upset if I could no longer co escorted away by the soldier… aren’t we forgetting so that idiot to the shop
In any case, that foolish action seems to have earned Kaijin the punish hi, so this seems bad
Which is why, I wrapped Gobuta up with [Sticky Thread] and hung hi
「Wait! That’s heartless! Take rief-stricken phrases, hoping that we’d listen
But to these words,
「Idiot! Your actions have their own consequences! If you don’t like it, just suing there with, e thought, was an ioblins, should be fine even if they receive no food or water for a week
Though if it the confineer, we’ll have to break out and save Gobuta
And having so decided, I forgot about hi
My conscience did ask “Isn’t this too pitiful?”, but he’s a sturdy guy! He’ll be fine!
So the five of us were brought into the royal palace
But I erated a bit–eren’t restraint withvoluntarily Well, were coerced into doing so…
As a result, we spent two days in prison
Or so I’d like to call it, but we received good food and the room was amicably furnished
All five were placed in the sa room
Their treatot you in this ize
However, no one gathered here particularly minded in the first place
「Kaijin-san, we’re fine! Don’t sweat it!」
「Exactly Don’t worry about it, pops!」
「…!」
The three seemed to be of the same opinion
「That aside, once we’re freed, we intend to co with Kaijin-san!」
「Rimuru-danna, would our presence be a bother?」
「……??」
The third also see, but as I clearly lack the power to understand, I was just happy with the sentiain: you’ll be in my care! However, I plan to work you hard, so be prepared!」
「「「Yeah!」」」
And, well, that’s the kind of discussion we had
The first day had thus passed, and on the second night,
「Oh, about that Cabinet Minister, he really seemed to hate Kaijin, didn’t he? Is there a reason for that?」
I nonchalantly asked
But hearing this, Kaijin grian his tale
So apparently Kaijin used to be one of the captain’s of the royal knights
That is, there are seven platoons a their own captain
Construction Platoon, Coency Relief Platoon
Heavy Aric Support Platoon
And, the ’s personal Royal Guard
Kaijin served as the captain of the construction platoon
His aide at the tiuy, was froht his status with gold… Thus he was jealous of me, as a coine Receiving orders froraceful
I, myself, did not try to be considerate of s I just desperately tried to please his Majesty…
And then, that incident occurred…」
Having so it introduced, he continued to discuss that incident
An incident that resulted in Kaijin leaving the aric Battle Gear Incident
At the time, the construction platoon had no new inventions and was evaluated the worst aical progress, the Construction Platoon should be flourishing!” So clairoup
“For noe should carefully continue our research!” So claiuments fueled further rivalry, and debates never produced any results
At the same tiical Battle Gear”
“We must succeed with this project and forever establish our naht
As a result of his independent and rash action, the “Deone out of control, and the project halted indefinitely
Had they carefully asseic Battle Gear” project would not have met such an end!
………
……
…
In conclusion, Kaijin took the blame, and left the army
As for Bester, he was so desperate to push his failure on Kaijin, that he had forged military records and planted other false evidence
In short, Bester is a stereotypical villain And in some sense, he’s easy to understand
So to su for the time the country would need him and would immediately ju that it would cause him harm!”–that kind of story?
But really, wouldn’t the death penalty suit cowardly bastards like Bester the best? Well,too far
「Well, in any case, with my departure, maybe even he can finally relax」
Those words ended his tale
After hearing about the incident, the three brothers also seem to have started to hate the Minister
Well, such a story will make even me hate hie for him to leave without any trouble
And in response to h retired, my position as a captain did earn me the rank of Baronet
Had it been a case of a co a noble, I probably wouldn’t be able to avoid the death penalty!」
Having said that, he laughed loudly
I couldn’t laugh at all, though…
If worst co out! As for the completely unrelated person–s quiet down
So I silently thought
And, the day of the trial ca
Though in front of hi aura
The current king–Gazelle Dwargo
With his eyes closed, he sits deeply on the throne
Looking like a typical dwarf, he had a sturdy build His arh he could easily be distinguished by his darker skin, and jet black hair, swept back
He’s strong!
Been a while since my instincts last cried out in alarhts stand at attention
Though I feel that those two are strong as well, they seeuy is just a monster
I had planned to run away if needed, but with this…
His mere presence forced my distracted er in this world
There was one
Having received the king’s perin! Silence your voices!!!」
He infor up an hour, both sides’ stories were presented
The parties in question–ourselves–were not permitted to speak
The only ones who could freely speak are nobles rank “Count” and above
The rest, ’s explicit permission
If I had to speak, ould I say?
Speak out of turn, and your guilt shall be confir” special!
Even if the charges against you were false, the rules stay the sa to your representative
That representative, these past two days, has shown his face many times
If I had to say, he’s kind of like our lawyer
I wonder if he’s any good?
Those kind of worries tend to prove true too often…
「Thus, in this way, the drunk and relaxed Bester-dono, whilehis way into another shop, was assaulted!
Such action must not be pardoned easily!!!」
「Is that the truth?」
「Ay! I, ated with the shop owners!
All my previous statements are, in fact, completely true!!!」
… Huh? Uht to be our ally had unexpectedly betrayed us?
Isn’t this… bad?
When I look at Kaijin’s face, it first turned bright red, but slowly paled
