My computer crashed while finalizing this chapter, sorry for the delay folks.

Which girl would you pick from the Twin Kingdoms if you were Zenjirou? Bona? Lucy? Or the four duke's envoys?

 

[MonkeyMonkeyMonkey]

thanks for tl!

 

[lolfacesayshi]

What a great chapter. A lot of thought and talk, and no interruptions to lengthen a discussion into a mystery case.

 

[captain_crunch]

Don't know who I'd pick for MC, but that short girl (Lucrezia?) is going to be happy about the opportunity

 

[nikutameruraput]

I like how the harem is used as a political mean and not some lazy slops.

 

[Tds-PdV]

I’m surprised they have not talked about having a teleportation tool for offensive use.
Imagine having it set up to go to deep underground or under the sea, or more peacefully, inside a jail cell, the tool then can be “armed” and then thrown, after a few seconds, it will then take everything inside its radius away, just like a grenade.

I’m sure that would be very hard to make, but also be very powerful and scary.

The space isolating barrier is only locked relative to the magician's imagination. Those people are still on a planet with a day-night cycle and presumably seasons. It's a different universe, so who knows, but we might assume their star system is still a part of a galaxy. So, they are moving nonetheless, very fast, through space. Unless it's an extremely different universe where the planet is totally static, the sun orbits the planet, and so forth, but that seems like a stretch. The pondering here is locking it relative to the planet's surface, but not above that level (in scale). But why is that so? Why can't he lock it relative to the ship. So, it can't be moved on the ship's deck, but it will move with the ship.

Yeah, talking about what they can and can't mention to others, even Freya, is important. Most manga just skip past it, often creating misunderstandings in the process.

Also nice that they realised that if you use it as an anchor that way it can put some high stresses in places where the ship isn't built to withstand them. Though absolute movement doesn't really exist, so I wonder what it's based on.

"Our success rate is six in a hundred."

So those ten last chapter were just the best ten out of a hundred? Or the last ten? Would be a difference, assuming constant improvements.

People using magic and gods using magic is a touchy religious subject.

Don't believe he would do something like that, but will tell him anyway. Good risk management.

The potential coming of a great war.

Marry for better connections. Always an option.

She would be the easiest one to use, since she's the least subtle and bright.

But why is that so? Why can't he lock it relative to the ship. So, it can't be moved on the ship's deck, but it will move with the ship.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. All movement is relative, after all, and we don't even know if there is some kind of absolute reference frame everything in the universe is relative to. For all we know, the Big Bang could have been moving in absolute space, so we can't even average out or otherwise calculate all galaxies for that.

 

[Udgard]

Lucrezia IIRC is a new character created just for the manga adaptation, so I wonder if she'll have a chance this time, or if someone else was already the choice on the original webnovel.

Thank you for the scanlation

It shouldn't be one of the four Duke envoys because selecting them over one of the Royal family would give them too much political power, and could lead to a coup attempt.

Based on the way the story has been pushing her into the foreground, it's going to be the girl that's been trying to seduce the MC on the entire trip to the Twin Kingdoms.

That is also one of the key reasons I like the light novel Sevens. Easy recommend if you can find it.

 

[chrno_12]

I was gonna say Lucrezia was probably the new concubine since she's going on a long trip with the MC, but...

This spoiler took her out of the running. Either way, now things got interesting.

Normally, I turn off my brain when reading manga and watching movies, but... maybe when activating the magic tool, the ship won’t just stop all at once. There’s probably some deceleration.

Lucrezia is 100% a LN character and is not original to the manga. The manga so far has faithfully adapted the LN (not the WN), and has not added anything original to it (but, due to the length of prose, has certainly shortened the content).

I believe they counted every single instance item since they started trying to manufacture Marbles. Which means, while the last batch of ten was their "best", the "hundred" also factors in the naturally-failed one they made over the course of the year (including those that's obviously not sphere-shaped and unsuitable for magic tool medium)

 

[Wataterp]

Aw man... please don't take the annoying Lucrezia girl as your concubine.

I’m sure that would be very hard to make, but also be very powerful and scary.

Honestly, if a tool can teleport anyone inside a radius, it could be used to teleport small armies to advantagious points that were otherwise impossible to get to.

 

[phorx]

It’s such a strange dynamic to have his wife setting him up with an international harem of baddies for political gain. It’s written in a way that’s believable but it’s also a bit tough to swallow.

Neither the queen nor the MC actually want him to have other women, and they’re a couple who dearly love each other, so it hits different than the typical isekai harem story. They’re both sacrificing their own desires and in return she gets to strengthen her country and personal power, while he gets… well lots of nice boing boing
