Sorry for the lack of updates after I said I would work more on these.

    Well, what can I say, I’ve been sort of busy and too tired at times to motivate myself to translate leaving these chapters in limbo for a long time.

    But here’s another chapter for you to enjoy.

    While I’m not exactly going to stop translating, I don’t think I can make any promises about the time releases will come anymore (because I clearly can’t really keep them at this point). That’s why, if there’s any experienced translator out there that wants to take over the series and pump out chapters in a more consistent manner, feel free to contact me and as long as I can see the series done justice I wouldn’t really mind handing the rein over to someone else.

    But like I said, I’m not exactly stopping for now, but there’s no telling what I’ll do in the future.

    (I would personally prefer if I could slack and someone translated the series for me)

    Anyway, I might be saying this but don’t let it bother you too much for the time being, just letting some of my thoughts out there. Enjoy the chapter.

    Moving forward, I saw the part about the finals and took a peek at the thread about who they were expecting to win the tournament that Tobi mentioned.

    I left the cup on top of the table and went back to looking at the thread on my pc.

    【Muscles and Silent girl vs】Live coverage of the finals block thread 8【Dark Elf and True Self】

    This will be a thread providing live coverage of the finals in the PvP tournament currently ongoing in TB.

    Let’s be well mannered.

    The next thread will be made once we reach over 800 comments.

    In the case a new thread isn’t made, the responsibility will be on the person that replies next.

    If it’s not made, please slow down on the replies.

    575：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：ehTJB56

    Haven’t they been pressured like crazy from the start!?

    576：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：7TkBGjx

    Since Albert’s blows are so heavy, she can’t really exchange blows directly.

    Hero-chan’s arm would get torn off!

    577：Nameless Mage　ID：C6n7gbL

    But it’s better than it being an instant defeat right?

    578：Nameless Knight　ID：grUfx4b

    Being happy that now that they got to the finals they haven’t won instantly…LOL

    579：Nameless Archer　ID：ZeHHGWU

    Albert is the only weird one! The other players are not at fault!

    580：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：mppTGzy

    Their opponents in their group managed to beat Philia-chan after trying really hard but…only despair awaited them…

    581：Nameless Mage　ID：Jnujkpa

    How do you deal with this? LOL

    582：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：7Wiae3a

    For the time being, they have to wait for True Self to charge up his MP.

    They seem to be aiming for something while enduring after all.

    583：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：mppTGzy

    Wait, he hasn’t charged up his MP that much but he’s moving already?

    584：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：29TXfpX

    Wait wait, what is he planning to do by going to the front as a Shinto Priest in this situation!?

    585：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：7TkBGjx

    He went forward for a moment, then went back.

    What’s wrong with True Self?

    586：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：h4DdRD2

    Wait, why is Albert pressing his eyes as if he’s suffering?

    587：Nameless Archer　ID：ZeHHGWU

    What happened?

    588：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    Can someone that understood what happened tell me, please?

    589：Nameless Mage　ID：gWP9kcE

    @588

    I think he got hit in the face by a Shining…but I’m not too sure.

    If someone else saw it, please tell me.

    590：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：kLQKdCQ

    Since there was no magic circle, there’s no doubt that it was a beginner spell.

    I believe the light he released with the chant matches that of Shining.

    I doubt he would use Healing in that situation.

    591：Nameless Mage　ID：gWP9kcE

    Thanks

    But to think that Shining had the effect of blinding people…

    592：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：J6bQuTk

    Since it doesn’t have that kind of effect on monsters I never noticed…

    593：Nameless Archer　ID：RhunZ4f

    Did no one try it in PvP?

    594：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：XJkp2YD

    If there had been some sort of PvP event when the game launched there might have been some people that would have tested it out, but the way Shining is used right now is to basically stop spell chants with its hit stop.

    595：Nameless Archer　ID：RhunZ4f

    Ah, in order to do that, you would usually aim at the body.

    Even if you were to get a headshot with it, the spell is too weak to begin with so you would barely do any damage.

    596：Nameless Mage　ID：TuDSk69

    I think the problem lies in the fact that the tournament was held at this time.

    Shining is a beginner spell which utility has already cemented itself by this point.

    597：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：Pif4Vcp

    As a normal attack it would only hit if your opponent is rather slow, and you would surely miss if you were aiming at the eyes.

    Even more if your opponent is that Albert.

    598：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：m9CZLYY

    So since he wasn’t wary of it, even Albert got hit by it, huh?

    599：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：eAVJzji

    But it lasts so long, that blinding effect.

    As expected, in that condition, he won’t be able to hit even if he swung that greatsword around.

    600：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：7TkBGjx

    Ah, While we were bothering with what True Self did, Philia-chan…

    601：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：Pif4Vcp

    Got incapacitated.

    Well then, wonder what they’ll do from this point onwards.

    601：Nameless Archer　ID：medMkPR

    Albert is so scary when he’s screaming.

    602：Nameless Knight　ID：ujtUy6f

    Usually, you would have lost by the point you are left alone…

    603：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    I fear that this is where the real thing begins.

    604：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：eAVJzji

    Hero-chan went to pressure him immediately.

    True Self seems to be focusing on supporting this time.

    605：Nameless Archer　ID：FKzpD98

    Even if he went to the front, there would always be the fear of getting one shoted after all.

    Since Albert doesn’t seem to be aiming for that, it’s a given that it would go like this.

    606：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：EVLFUkG

    So he has confidence that he will be able to beat them head front…

    607：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：HVx774d

    Hmm? However, since the opponents can heal, wouldn’t he lose if they just endured?

    608：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    Hint: Cooldown.

    609：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：HVx774d

    Ah…right.

    610：Nameless Knight　ID：ujtUy6f

    As you said that, Hero-chan got knocked out.

    611：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：KzSCaYB

    The timing on the revives are spot on as always, but what’s important here is the speed at which they can repeat this process.

    612：Nameless Archer　ID：sAwg6DR

    They can’t cycle through revives at this pace, right?

    Even though they are pressuring him, the damage they are dealing Albert is so sad.

    613：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：XJkp2YD

    They won’t be able to cycle through them.

    Leaving aside the first two by taking Quick into account, the problem is the 3rd one and onwards.

    614：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：r8SExSt

    It all depends on how hard Hero-chan works, huh…

    After this, it turned out into a battle of attrition for a while right?

    I remember us dealing some damage at the beginning but after a while, it turned into a harsh situation where we couldn’t deal any damage.

    The conversation in the thread felt like it had turned into a loop so let’s skip through some comments…

    882：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：Qbctknm

    It’s enough…enough, just give it a rest…!

    883：Nameless Mage　ID：a2i8RJp

    Albert’s HP hasn’t decreased for a while.

    884：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：HVx774d

    Isn’t this checkmate?

    885：Nameless Knight　ID：ujtUy6f

    Even though Hero-chan’s movements have gotten quite good…

    Isn’t this Albert guy just too weird?

    886：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：r8SExSt

    I kind of can’t help but tear up when I see Hero-chan standing up no matter how many times she gets beaten up.

    887：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：KzSCaYB

    The mood in the arena is similar to that.

    Even though there’s a lot of people that have bet on Albert.

    888：Nameless Archer　ID：sAwg6DR

    Even if the audience sides with her, this difference in strength is…

    889：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：tWA4p73

    Even True Self is standing there with a grim expression that we have never seen.

    890：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    After healing and buffing he can only watch after all.

    Albert is also wary of Shining.

    891：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：EVLFUkG

    Oh? They both seem to be talking?

    892：Nameless Archer　ID：RhunZ4f

    Yup, their mouths are moving.

    Though, we can’t hear anything because of the cheers.

    893：Nameless Mage　ID：6znDNgz

    I wonder if they are going to do something, it would be kinda sad if they were talking about surrendering.

    894：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：Pif4Vcp

    I don’t think anyone would want them to surrender.

    So, do your best!!

    895：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    Ah, since Hero-chan is smiling, it seems to have been something else.

    That being said, her movements have gotten even better!

    896：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    True self is even refreshing the buffs that still have time left.

    I wonder what he’s planning?

    897：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：TPCUzaH

    Aiming for 2 successive Burst Edges?

    898：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：h4DdRD2

    She has already used Burst Edge a few times, but they haven’t landed.

    899：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    It’s the type of skill that bursts only if you get a hit after all.

    There’s no point if it doesn’t hit.

    900：Nameless Archer　ID：3cAhju6

    Hmm? True Self just healed himself now?

    901：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：EVLFUkG

    His HP has been like that since the time they beat Philia-chan.

    Is there even any point to doing that?

    902：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：VSWxgi4

    He even transferred all of his MP to Hero-chan…?

    903：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：p8PnypE

    Don’t tell me…

    904：Nameless Knight　ID：y52T3rH

    Is he going to use it? Is he going to do it?

    905：Nameless Archer　ID：KdMmxrU

    Eh? What do you mean?

    906：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：e4wEXN3

    Uoooooooooooooooooo!!!

    There it is!! Sacrifice!!!

    907：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：c4h4kUF

    Uwah, they finally are going for it…that was at the back of my mind the entire time.

    908：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    When the buff’s effects and Hero-chan’s aura combine, it’s so divine…

    909：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：N4M4yHW

    Yeah, Hero-chan has gotten even more beautiful.

    So good.

    910：Nameless Mage　ID：z8tafRW

    Wait, is the buff time going to last?

    I remember it being really short from that video from the event.

    911：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：p8PnypE

    True Self’s HP is decreasing so faaaaaaaaaaast!!

    As always, he also looks like he’s suffering a lot.

    911：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    Wait, Hero-chan is pressuring him now!

    912：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：CHdJdca

    Even Albert’s heavy blows are hardly having any effect!

    Sacrifice’s buff effect is so amazing!

    913：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：VSWxgi4

    Ah, True Self has collapsed…is she going to make it!?

    914：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：Pif4Vcp

    Goooooooooooooooo!!!

    915：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    Uoooooooooooooooo!!!

    916：Nameless Mage　ID：MLrGD4U

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    917：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：Qbctknm

    She pierced through hiiiiiiiiiiiiiim!!!

    918：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：KzSCaYB

    It buuuuuuuuurst!!

    She finished hiiiiiiiiiim!!!

    919：Nameless Knight　ID：y52T3rH

    Oooooooo!!! It’s an upset!! A big upset!!!

    920：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：h4DdRD2

    Everyone is so excited LOL

    But me too, Uooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

    921：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：EVLFUkG

    I wonder why…even though all the money I bet on Albert is gone, I don’t care anymore.

    Hero-chan congratulations!! True Self congratulations!!

    922：Nameless Archer　ID：medMkPR

    With this, the Emperor and the developers should be happy.

    923：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：c4h4kUF

    @922

    The Queen will be too.

    924：Nameless Knight　ID：eG7L5GJ

    Now that you mention it, these two were from Sala.

    So they are going to get praised by that Queen…I’m so jealous.

    925：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：h4DdRD2

    Well, that was an impressive performance.

    Beats having Albert win the whole thing, it was fun.

    Though I also lost all my gold!!

    926：Nameless Archer　ID：FKzpD98

    Congratulations, congratulations!

    Well then, guess I’ll log in and farm some gold until maintenance comes…

    927：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：7TkBGjx

    Everyone lost their bets LMAO

    928：Nameless Mage　ID：z8tafRW

    I mean that’s a given.

    The odds at the end were 1.2 you know?

    929：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：XJkp2YD

    I guess most of the players 「Lost」 then.

    930：Nameless Knight　ID：nsMN58a

    …I’ll go check the thread about who people expected to win.

    931：Nameless Archer　ID：Y6rKmmV

    Me too LOL

    932：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：7TkBGjx

    Yeah, I’m interested too.

    Especially the reactions of those that said that Albert would definitely win.

    933：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：VSWxgi4

    They’ll also talk about the gold they bet.

    I’ll take a look later too LOL.

    Well, guess I’ll also take a look.

    If I kept looking at this thread, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from smiling after all.

    Tobi seemed to have had a lot of fun with the thread that predicted who would win, I wonder what happened over there…
