Wait... huh? Why did it seem like Benno was trying to ship them?

 

[enveratise]

Where do you guys read for the stuff past this arc? I've found translations for up to ch. 103 of the webnovel but nothing after that.

Aaaand, this is why they need a classless society with universal health care. But I guess letting one cute loli be saved as long as she has lots of important moneymaking ideas is fine too.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

It would be pretty interesting if she wouldn't be cured.

2. We know that there's magic in this world, but from what we've seen, magic manifests in very subtle ways or in magic items. Maybe magical energy is something that can't be directly manipulated by humans;

That seems highly unlikely from the perspective of population genetics. Considering Main and the rich girl are both well below reproduction age, it means their genetic makeup would drop out of the gene pool highly effectively if there was no natural way to use magic. I've long advocated your first point, though, because it makes perfect sense. If magic is something that allowed the nobles to become nobles in the first place (which would be very plausible indeed), it makes sense they would rather have any random mana possessors to die off than to form a threat later on. However, if it's still someone important, they could treat it like a disease, rather than as an unused skill needing an outlet. In any case, getting rid of excess mana apparently isn't as easy of breathing, but it shouldn't be impossible either (in that case the first, primitive men possessing mana would have all died before being able to create magic tools). However, as long as Main believes it requires some stupidly expensive tools (which are but a plot for the noble mages to milk gold from the ignorants), then she won't even try to figure out the natural way.

I reckon Main might even be able to create magic tools herself if she got down to it and experimented. But, alas, she's only interested in creating books.

@enveratise
I’m not sure what you mean by past this arc, but if you mean past Part 1 then this arc ends with WN Chp.77.
But you won’t find translations beyond WN Chp.103 because it was dropped after that because the LN is licensed by JNC. It’s possible somebody may pick up the WN again, but JNC’s speed with the LN is fairly good, they intend to finish a new volume every two months(ish) and they’re already halfway through volume two (for reference WN Chp.103 concludes LN volume four).

 

[Zoniuc]

Keep it up translator(s)! You people are doing gods work.

@enveratise :I can read Japanese with some tool assistance (not google translate, no, just dictionary tool like rikaikun) :v so I read the whole thing already.

@Kaarme : Y'know the deal, spoiler be including spoiler

Magic power is not based on physical genetic.
In fact the mother's level of magic have the most influence on how much magic power a child can have.

And whether a couple can conceive a child usually depends on how harmonious is their magic power (so yes, Lutz xMyne is dead, he doesn't have any real magic power, she has enough to overpower a royalty)

However, people with consuming are slightly different from nobles in a few things.
1. Their aptitude is weak but consist of all element, whereas nobles' aptitudes are usually a mix of their parents' (the closest magic power has to genetic)
2. A person with consuming is easily influenced by magic power of others, unlike nobles, however the effects of the dyeing does not last long.
2.5 Unless they're those with "Life God's Marks" i.e. reached a state of 'death' but manage to survive. These people retain the effect of magic power that dyed them, making them seem just like nromal nobles after you've cured the magic stone fragments inside them.


I don't know about treatment of the consuming in the past (it seem pretty well given that there's data on them like that) but currently at least, this country is in a decline.
The cause can be traced to losing their history over a loooooooooong period of time.

This whole country is actually made by the Gods, as a haven for anyone with magic power.

Back in the past, the Ruler would also be the Temple Head of the Central Temple, and a new Ruler is selected from the strongest candidate who've passed the trial by the Gods.
Then at some point, a queen wanted her son, who totally isn't qualified, to be the next Ruler.
So what she did was make a copy of the special magic tool that's used in controlling the functions of the country itself (drawing domain borders, open/close border gates, etc) which can be used by just about anyone, thus the son was able to succeed her.
Then that son just pass on that magic tool.

Over time people forgot there was the whole trial of the Gods, the Temple became dumping ground of 'excess nobles' and is no longer the place of worship it used to be.

And then recently there was a coup that resulted in said magic tool being lost (and a lot of dead nobles, so suddenly there's a massive drop on available mana)
Without that magic tool, the current royal family have no way of running the magic controlling the country, and all they can do is (inefficiently) try to sustain the magic covering the country.

Myne ends up reviving the old culture through a lot of her own actions and unintended consequence of her own actions (for the most part, it's related to her wanting to read)


As for creating magic...kinda unlikely.
Without assistance of the Gods, a person can at best discharge their magic power out in a wave that hurt those around them.
However compare to the magic with the Gods' blessing/Staff, it's like comparing a child's sand castle to the sky scrapers.

The difference is huge, and basically impossible to compete.
To give some example of how different it can be.

At one point, a black monster (similar to toronbe, but a beast type) shows up at school.
After they were able to defeat it, Myne went back and heal the devastated land in mere hour.
Later on a group of priests from Central pointed out how impossible this is, since it'd take several of them taking turns for DAYS to complete.
Myne's explanation is because everything from school (Staff, lessons, blessings, etc) makes her magic far more efficient than what the priests can do.

Another time, enemies snuck into the school and got their own Staff (there's a lot to explain if I go into details so I won't)
The fighting between them and the knights were fierce
Until Myne's group figured out how'd they register themselves to be able to get the Staff
then they go and annul their registration, making them unable to use the Staff anymore
and immediately the enemies were subdued

Now you might point out that queen made a copy of the magic tool
Yes she did, but to do so she required the Staff, i.e. you need the Gods' help to begin with

@WhimsiCat Sorry, but I always try to avoid any and all spoilers, so I can't check the hidden part of your post.

 

[WhimsiCat]

@Kaarme: Well, to put simply. Gods.

@Siquall
Just note this is just the book 1, which if i remember was the shortest with only 3volumes. Book is the arcs name, and we have 5 books. I really hope we can read all books in the future

 

[Nighthawlc]

@zilentworld @Siquall
Calling them “Part X” seems to be more common than calling them “Book X”. While blastron did use the latter people had been using “Part X” quite a while before, also JNC seem to be going with “Part X” for the official English releases of the LN.

But your point is right:
Part 1 = 077 WN chapters = 3 LN volumes
Part 2 = 095 WN chapters = 4 LN volumes
Part 3 = 105 WN chapters = 5 LN volumes
Part 4 = 183 WN chapters = (at least) 8 LN volumes
Part 5 = 217 WN chapters (LN adaption hasn’t started yet)

@Nighthawlc

Thanks for the details.
I hope this serie will be popular enough (with the anime too) , so we can get a complete manga adaptation of this story, like Spice and Wolf or (normally)Mushoku Tensei.

Is she ded yet?

Mod Note: Please use spoiler tags when talking about chapter-specific or future events.

Edit: either mods can't take jokes or they think I can see into the future lmao

Just kidding, I'm the author, ofc I can see past what happened in the novels.

 

[Liquidxlax]

@zilentworld They are on the third, but I guess it depends on how popular this stays. I do think it is pretty top notch compared to other isekai which are usually generic and have terrible world building, or at least their light novels have been stripped of that which makes them unique when they adapt them to manga.
