Once again this chapter confirms my love for Aiko and my hatred for Kouki

Ironically, Kouki was right about stopping the 'mad' god.

That 'mad' god, Ehit, was planning to go to Hajime's original world and destroy/subjugate it.
Yeah but there’s no way he thought that far ahead.

What a shame they decided on this childish design for her.
A mature look and wearing glasses would be the ideal image (in my opinion) for a teacher.

eh They got Tio for the mature woman vibe (and weirdly Yue). Aiko s whole charm is that she’s clumsy as heck but still tries hard.

Protect the tiny teacher! Dwarf DNA needs to keep flowing!
Jokes aside, it's definitely a sweet dynamic those two have. Both the teacher and student have faith in one another!

Thanks for the translations!

The people complaining why he didn't use Hyperion once to stop the bad guys from escaping are feeling real dumb rn lol. And I'm going to be real even if he could use it again after that first shot I imagine as cold as he is now he wouldn't purposely shoot inside the city and kill people just to get the guy, like yeah he isn't afraid to kill but he doesn't go killing random people willynilly either.
everyone seems forgot despite being cold blooded hajime still longing for normal live in japan and he made distinction clear about who he going to kill or not since he still want to cling at last remain of his humanity like in this chapter how he talk it to Aiko

That speech from Nagumo about great power implying to have to help others because "he can" being just a burden is pretty deep. It made me think a lot about true freedom, the definition of power, morality, and even the abrahamic god in our world. Nice job, Shirakome. (y)

Nagumo cares a whole lot for someone who was broken at the bottom of the dungeon. He's far less broken than he claims to be. But I guess he couldn't keep travelling with a bunch of people if he wasn't still at least in this current shape psychologically. On the other hand, it does help him to keep fighting the world if he can convince himself of not being quite right in the head. Facing the gods and their machinations spanning millennia is a burden.

whether or not one should kill a supposed god of a world is a rather complicated situation...
it begs the question why one even needs to do it..
would you stop a force that people view as a deity just because it harms them?
after stopping such force, can the world still be functional?
it may be possible that wars causing great division will unite those of the same feathers... but if one were to break such a loop, it may be possible for such beings to simply lose those final parts of unity...
"for the greater good" is what one can assume to be morally right.. but can we truly find it to be the best choice? if we are to act only in such regard, then our actions are negligent, no different from those who dont think before they act, no different to animals who perform actions to simply satisfy their desires.

caring for those that you know is simply the most sensible...

"Well, we got shit to do. We'll be leaving in the morning."

"But you'll stick around to help us right?"

"What the? Did the translation magic stop working? We got shit to do, Princess. You've already kidnapped us, consigned many of us to death, and you still want to beg favors from us? Fuck you. I'm figuring out how to get home. Consider yourself lucky if we save your sorry ass world along the way. I'll consider myself lucky if you, your family, and everyone else involved in dragging us here dies before we go."

Admit it, you hope one day to hear an MC say that to one of these spoiled little idiots. The princess acts all innocent, but she's one of the most guilty.

I would agree with you but you're forgetting one important and major factor it wasn't her or even her father the king who summoned them. They were directly summoned by this world's god Ehit the royal family had nothing to do with their summoning or even had a way to take them back to their world. So no the kingdom didn't kidnap them in this case. Hell they didn't even force them fight for them most of them agreed to help(mostly because they were bandwagoning off of kouki choosing to help). Also the ones that did refuse because if I remember correctly a few of the students did are being treated fairly well and were given housing, food etc. by the kingdom. The royal family has been nothing but nice to the otherworlders. And to top it all off she just recently lost her parents and what was her first priority? oh the safety of her kingdom and people, so she's far from being spoiled.

Gods only have the power their followers give them, and they follow the will of those people. There is a lot that hasn't been revealed yet, and I don't buy that the royal family is innocent. They never are. Of course they are taking care of the non-combatant children, it keeps the ones who do fight compliant. Of course they are taking care of the kingdom and their people, that's their job. If they didn't they wouldn't have a kingdom. For them, it is about maintaining their power, and this wouldn't be the first royal family to use gods to keep that power. Doesn't matter if they like it or not, they support it. They believe there is a need for other-worldly heroes, therefore the gods bring them. They believe the gods are twisted and cruel, therefore they are. I am also speaking on a world scale, not just this one kingdom. This just happens to be the kingdom that received the heroes this time around, so they must be favored over others for some reason. Not much of a favor since it made them a target, but look at all the tales of nations that survived trials sent by the gods. They always come out on top, and the royal family will know this. They wouldn't be where they are if they didnt.

I won't spoil later plot reveals but as far as the current info tells you in the manga and light novel up to this point again it never says the kingdom had any part in it. Where is it said that their god is following their will, or that they are getting any form of power from said god either, the only thing that supposedly came from their god was the Hero Kouki and his friend group and that's it, Hajime and the rest of the class were just caught up in the summoning circle. Its literally all we know that the kingdom has gotten. So that's is entirely your assumption on the matter not actual proof. Of course I'm not saying its impossible and we don't know much about the other kingdoms atm to really judge them either outside of the Hoelscher Empire that enslave demi-humans clearly those guys are dicks. So purely going on the Heiligh Kingdom nothing so much as hints to it so your attack/insult of the princess is kind of unwarranted atm.

It's a shame that Kaori cannot just switch her body on the fly in action. Shit would be so cool.
