Tensei Shitara Dragon no Tamago Datta ~Ibara no Dragon Road~ - Ch. 38

[Liquidxlax]

I didn't expect the ants to actually have an intelligent queen. As soon as she notices the meat is poisoned, she will order the ant troops to get rid of it. Everything depends on how soon she will notice it.

I'm thinking there are multiple groups of ants. Might be black ants or like army ants.

Exterminator style.

“Raid” the Ant Fortress now has a double entendre

Why I feel that after this arc the serie gonna get axed?

Well, at least I get to see his next form.

Spoiler

Ouroboros

FYI, this and the next chapter are deviating a notable amount from the webnovel.
I'm hopeful the mangaka is just shorting this mini-training arc, but we shall see how this goes.

(Also, sorry for the wait. It's busy season for my IRL job, so I got bogged down with that. Busy season is winding down some, so next chapter will hopefully be faster to release).

I haven't read the WN for this series but I'm reading the LN and the manga seems to be fairly consistent with that. As an active LN reader, it seems to be the case that the manga and anime (if it has it) for any given series is typically adapted from the light novel if there is one

That is correct, but this author has so many series that there is hardly any changes between their webnovels and their light novels.

That's why the upcoming shift is noteworthy enough to mention. The mangaka has been very religiously following the novel script this entire time and now they are starting to deviate (like with Adhoff not losing his arm like he did in the novel). I don't want to give away the next chapter, but you will see a very noticeable change in the next chapter.

Man, I love the series and thank you for the translation. But gawdamn is it hard to read! Small letter size combined with that shrift is so hard on the eyes! 💀
Even a tiny bit larger letters (those bubbles, they still have space!) and a more clean, clear shrift would be a godsend!
I actually have to zoom in on my large screen tablet, every Buble to be able to read it properly, pls take mercy on my eyes 🙏

I can look into increasing size/spacing of the letters in the next chapter.
Is it mainly line spacing making it harder to read or are the letters also too small?

What do you mean by "shrift" though?
The only meaning I get when looking it up was a "confession of sin to a priest", which I'm assuming is not what you meant...

 

[Pr1mus]

How it is different ?

I don't remember much since I read it years ago but in the novel

Spoiler: Spoiler

after poisoning the meat dumpings, mc catches an ogre ant and then he offers it some food and after that he shows it the pile of dumpling to it. Later, after inspecting the dumpling the ant brought it companions while thanking the MC. Also there's a case of Adolff losing an arm

Art at the end is so dope I love it

 

[PeanutDC2]

Man, I dunno if I could bite into shit even if it killed my worst enemy

Murphy's law really likes waiting around the corner in this story.

I think by shrift they meant the font.

Not that you asked for my opinion, but if you found it hard to fit bubbles with larger text size, maybe it’s because you have too much fluff and need to trim the sentences down?

I do try to reduce sentences when I can.

Though part of it is some bubbles are simply too small at times. Japanese kanji words are often shorter than english words, after all.

Ahhhh! It's almost here, next dragon evolution, my favorite part!

Thanks for the translation Machine Humin Fanslations

Since things are taking so long to release i hope multiple chapters come out

It's funny how he talks about "if the red ants are like normal ants" and all that but... normal ants aren't at all like he thinks. There's no way for a scout or five to tell the rest "hey, i found this huge haul so all of you come right up to take it". Instead, they leave a scent trail on their return trip that there's "some haul", and a few more ants would follow it to go there and check, then those leave new scents on their return so even more come later, and so on... anyway, it'd take multiple roundtrips before any significant amount of them start to gather.
