Tensei Shita Kuukan Mahoutsukai wa Shoutai Kakushite Medachitai! - Ch. 2

[ScryedParadox]

Oh hey, it's the return of the MC who both wants to be super famous and super anonymous with dimensional magic that allows him to teleport anywhere he wants yet somehow feels trapped in the first town he entered even though he has no reason or limitation prohibiting him from moving to another place.

Is he still having an anxiety panic attack because of his contradictory desires and inability to think about anything else outside of what's immediately in front of him limiting his ability to even understand the very concept of just moving when he has nothing preventing him from moving?

If anything, he could feel free to experiment in this first town, get and gather all the knowledge of what is normal and what isn't and experiment and gain enough knowledge and actually, y'know, wear something to properly mask his identity while he does so and then when he wants to be the anonymous underestimated underdog, then he can live out that fantasy by teleporting to another continent and behaving as that weakling while stories of his great deeds from another end of the world propagates.

He's 25 for god's sake but he's thinking and behaving like he's 18.

Then again, I guess this just helps to solidify the fact that the MC is basically some under average IQ idiot who barely understands what he really wants yet chases after it relentlessly causing him to get into troubles of his own doing in a prison of his own mind and that's da joke for this manga.

And part of the source of his internal trouble is at least displayed on page 37. He was basically the kind of guy who just drifted along, lacking drive, lacking motivation, probably just feeding on escapism. Probably just being a government or corporate drone. So it wouldn't be that surprising if indeed he was still mentally a teenager and is only now starting to actually move into independence, where he now has the ability and the freedom to do more than just follow the instructions and the path laid before him at a menial job that is both soul and brain draining.

Are they really gonna keep calling 25 old?

Isekai is best when the mangaka doesn't take the genre seriously and just has fun with it.

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Thanks for the TL!

 

[R2D2TS]

[Ironclad]

I shouldn't have given this a chance, it's as basic as it looks.

Wait, didn't he recognise her to a degree when she first questioned him?

 

[Asynchria]

Woohoo! Thanks for translating this \o/ can't wait to see more!

 

[Wolvenworks]

i hope this manga tl will catch raw soon

How far behind are we?

Asmodeus already translate chapters 3(&4 actually, but it's behind paywall) in their website.

But ofc. I expect nothing less from the group that (probably but very likely) used AI to write their last page COA to come use their paywalled site (for teh lootz).

We’re prolly gonna be left to dry for another 1-3 months as they maximize their squeeze from gullible people.

Meanwhile us millennials feeling like old farts. I’m at that point where all i want to do on the weekends is to mow the lawn and powerwash the driveway…cept i got neither, so FFXIV and SnB it is then.

Found a few mistakes.
On page 6, it says "the beautiful archmage who wields four elements", but later in the chapter, it's a plot point that she can only use three elements, and is jealous that the main character has her beat in that regard.
On page 8, the word "inviside" is perhaps supposed to be something else, maybe "invisible"?
On page 24, it says "strange's van" instead of "stranger's van".
On page 28, it says "if I could, I would've chosen to be a swordsman", but "wouldn't have chosen" makes more sense in this context.
On page 32, it says "we could never tell what kind of oddball an adventurer becomes at your age", but I think it probably should say "what kind of oddball becomes an adventurer at your age".
On page 40, it says "sur" instead of "sure".

It's not that 25 is old, but in a medieval fantasy setting, it's quite late to be a rookie. In a modern setting, where people in developed countries typically go to school until 18 at a minimum, and often spend a few more years pursuing an advanced degree in order to prepare for a really specialized profession, 25 is a reasonable age to still be working in an entry-level job. In a medieval setting, where people don't have twelve years of compulsory education, you would be expected to get a job or at least an apprenticeship much younger. Farming, or training to be a soldier, or practicing under a craftsman, or helping out with a family business, or learning magic at an academy, would all be appropriate for a 15-year-old. By 25, it'd be strange not to have an established career. If someone like the main character is just starting out as an adventurer at 25, most people would assume his first career choice fell apart, e.g. he's the son of a merchant who went bankrupt, or he was training to be a soldier but he was too weak or cowardly or bad at following orders. So, they aren't making fun of him for being 25, they're making fun of him for failing at whatever he's spent the last ten years doing.

So, there is no pinalty for failing a quest or not finish it in time. Thats why those brat take all the quest paper?. So i guess either the receptionist or the guild system is bad. Thanks for the translation tho.
