It was a female dragon so we lucked out on this.

A pretty name for a pretty dragon, uwu

Jyuumonji fan: rejoicing!

Regarding the other Godkin. If it's not Out, it could be Miya or Jyuumonji. Just got told Miya had the potential to learn magic, and we already know she has magical girl brainrot. If Miya can learn magic, other otherworlders can get powers too.

I'm a bit leery that he let Nimbus Chronicle (Chortle) and Dragon Muscle got away. They are superpowered human trafficker murderers, living to murder another day seems bad. But I agree that Out didn't have a way to effectively get them both. Probably he could have ran over Nimbus, except Pops was standing in the way. There was zero chance they could take a dragon in a fight without siege weapons or something. It was a losing battle so he had to use Stragey #29, Decorate the Tree with False Blossoms.

I think Nimbus was smarter than he let on:
He himself mentioned that a few females in that village could rival him in magic, even if they were unused to fighting and would perhaps shy away from combat if he could horrify them enough.

Add the above to the unknown aspect of learning about "Out the Godkin" (that Nimbus in theory come back for anytime with reinforcements) and not provoking some weird shit he's never seen before (Outrunner) was pretty smart.

Especially if we give the author some credit and Nimbus's last demand about "give us food for our travel" was his way of hinting to the readers (the villagers as well) "Nimbus knows Out is full of shit, but Nimbus ALSO knows it's better not to take an unnecessary risk when he isn't forced into corner."

I feel like buying a gun in his original world and taking it with him to this one would be a good idea. Getting a weapon permit might be a bit of a hassle, but it's not like it's impossible in Japan. I think that it's extremely naive of him not to prepare any form of self-defense that would actually give him an advantage over the people of this world. If he's suffering from the Japanese protagonist syndrome (complete pacifism), he could just get a non-lethal weapon like a pepper ball gun.

I find it quite disappointing that, up until this point, basically every problem was solved by just getting into the Outrunner. At least this time, he actually did something besides flooring it to solve the issue.

---

OF COURSE he wasn't executed or imprisoned — the author has to recycle him as the villain, after all. Oh sure, letting an enemy who knows most of your village’s secrets walk away is definitely a brilliant strategy. God, what a bunch of cretins.

A rifle or something would be pretty funny if it could take down the dragon after casually rolling down the window - "Whats that?" BLAM, but a Japanese dude probably isn't getting anything high caliber enough for that.
At best he'd snipe the mage (but i bet his force field could take a bullet if it handle magical giant stones and explosions) and the rider, then the dragon fucks everyone up.

Since it hasn't been brought up, the inserts of Vol 1 - 4 are pieces of the other world's map, Azu's village is marked with the red X and Kyara's village is marked with the blue X. Azu's place is labelled as a "country" instead of village.

Very neat detail. I wonder what the heck is going on at the center of this continent. And there's an island to the south with a massive dragon, wonder what that's about.

I sincerely love the slice of life, so I hope to not see another "battle" like this. Especially with convenient, silly lies that the villain accepts with little or no effort.
Anyway, I can't wait for the

next chapters and the socialization with the work team~

Thank you so much for the translation!

Its kind of funny how only reason villains in this episode posed any threat is that the villagers really stupid tradition that banned the most powerful of them(women) from taking part in battles and no one bothered to argue against it?

So is the other godkin him from the future with his magic unlocked?
Isn't he missing his magic circuits because it was sealed and transferred to the outback? I don't remember but ig he only had a faint flashback and hasn't remembered properly what the oldman/mage did to him.

Fr, looking back, Azu was strong enough to hinder any kidnapping attempt but she was too scared of her own power to do anything.

Dang it, it must be the time paradox thingie. I always become confused when the story involves something like time travel.
