#1188 Chant vs. Chantless 

The tension of the showdown keeps rising. 

Sensei and the Spirit King are glaring daggers at Kaito, our advocate of chantless magic, from right across the way. 
And yet Kaito, who’s up against two of the world’s biggest threats—a Lifeless King and the Spirit King who governs the workings of this world...

#1187 Guilty as Charged 

We arrived here based on the information the Demon King kindly provided us. 
This is a residential district tucked into one corner of the Demon Capital. 

Among the hundreds of nearly identical buildings stands one with a tremendous crowd gathered around it. 

“…Is this the place...?!” <...

#1186 Commence Search  

We finally figured out who the world's enemy is. 

It would be none other than… Chantless Magic!!! 

Turns out, that forbidden spell is guilty of insulting and angering the spirits.  
It’s basically taboo magic. 

If we let chantless magic keep running rampant, things between humanity...

#1185 Foolish Mankind

The Spirit King has been defeated!

He’s supposed to be the one who directly manages this world’s entire operation, and yet we overpowered him by brute force.
It really drives home just how wild things get around my farm.

“Trying to snuff out Master and the kids’ future is unbelievably rude and disrespe...

#1184 A Furious Spirit King

This… is the Spirit King…?!

A towering, colossal figure worthy of such an overblown title.
I have no idea whether that’s his true form or just a stand-in, but either way, he exudes an overwhelming presence that dwarfs us humans.

His gazes feels impossibly heavy, an oppressive weight.
Cold, and defini...

#1183 Masterpiece

Here’s the story so far:

After hearing the earth spirits’ ominous mutterings, our farm caught wind that the world might be in serious danger.

There’s no way we’re letting our world get wrecked now that things have finally been running smoothly, so after some investigation, we concluded we needed to meet th...

#1182 Gathering the Four Spirits

Right before our eyes appears something that at first glance is shaped like a person... but anyone can tell right away this is no ordinary human.

It’s about the size of a medium-sized dog, with a skinny, lanky body. Its long hair is a blazing crimson flickering constantly, like it’s made of real flames.

Its fa...

#1181 In Search of the Spirit King

Thus, we ended up taking on this massive crisis threatening the world.

We decided to seek out the Spirit King, supposedly the big villain behind all of this.

Spirits are beings that directly influence this world’s workings.
And at the head of all those spirits is the Spirit King.

Apparently, that trans...

#1180 End Prophecy

It’s getting a bit chilly these days.
Looks like autumn in this other world is about to end.

This past year has been wild, especially with all the stuff going on in the Farm Kingdom, and everything felt more hectic than usual. Still, I never neglected what needed to be done.

We finished the harvest at our fa...

#1179 The Mightiest Anti-Mint Party

And so, a few days after that trend started catching on at my farm...

An unusual guest showed up.

A deity.
And not just any deity—a goddess.

The Mother Earth Goddess Demetersephone had been hastily summoned by Sensei and descended upon our farm.

“...”

Um...?
But even after being sum...

#1178 Mint War

Shocking!!!

It seems my kids didn’t like the chocolate mint ice cream I put all my heart into making!
Why?!
Did I not mix the ice cream well enough to make sure the ingredients were evenly distributed?!

"Uh, isn’t that kind of beside the point?"

Here comes my wife, Platy, with her know-it-all att...

#1177 Peppermint Saint

It’s me again.

Things have been non-stop with the whole Farm Kingdom stuff lately, keeping me busy, but that’s not all I’ve been doing.

I’m still putting a lot of effort into this year’s crops back at the farm, and I’m doing my best every day as a father, too.

My oldest son, Junior, and my second...

#1176 The Ones Left Behind

I am the Butler Lifeless King.
I proudly serve as the foremost subordinate to Lord Alexander, the mighty dragon.

The reason I cast aside my humanity and became a being that will never die is all for Lord Alexander’s sake.
It was too difficult to serve him in a human form, so I chose to live eternally, as I cou...

#1175 Good Governance is Fiercer than an Angel

"Eek, what the heck...?!"

I, angel Songokufon, with my Mana Cannon aimed at the old, foul-mouthed merlady, watch her freeze up with a pale face.
These loudmouths who act all tough go silent as soon as they’re face-to-face with death.

"Wh-What do you think you're doing? Knock it off, all right? This is a tea ...

#1174 Operation: Crying Red Ogre

The tea party I, angel Songokofun, am watching over has finally kicked off.

“Welcome, and thank you for coming. May I see your invitation?”
“Lady Bleach from the White-eye family. Allow me to show you to your seat.”

Those Puffer Children are doin’ a pretty smooth job over at reception, huh?
Big S...

#1173 A Tea Party is a Coliseum for the Ladies

Continuing on, it’s me again, the Bludgeoning Angel Songokufon!!!

It’s finally the day of the tea party!
Bring it on! Whoever shows up, I’ll smack you down head-on!!!

“Why’s Songokufon so bloodthirsty?”
“She’s probably been worked up by the former Mermaid Queen Mahi. She’s good at revving...

#1172 The Mermaid Queen’s Help

It’s me, the angel Songokufon!

Ughhhh, so lazy!!!

I gotta help with the tea party?! Why do I gotta do that lazy stuff? What a pain in the butt!

A tea party means that, right?
The kind where a buncha fancy ladies with fans n' big hair rolls sit around a table going "Ohohohoho" n' "Zamasu-zamasu"?!
N...

#1171 Angel Underwater

‘Sup, am the angel Songokufon.
Seriously, this sucks.

I’ve been living it up all this time at Alex’s place, doin’ whatever I wanted, n' now, I’ve gotta live under the watchful eye of Sis Puffer n’ start a whole "responsible lifestyle” starting today.
Ugh, lameeee.

Why do I have to be wat...

#1170 The Dragon’s First Shift

I, the Proto-Geyser Dragon, Typhon, have become a dungeon manager! Guhahahaha!

From now on, I’m the ruler of my very own dungeon!
I’m like the king of a castle! Gwahahahaha!!!

Huh? That’s not it?
You say that I’m just a mere manager of a tiny dungeon that I borrowed from Alexander?

Shut up! <...

#1169 First Part-Time Job

The familiar duo of Horkosfon and Letasreit, summoned by Sensei, make their grand entrance.

“Mana Cannon: Unlock! Megido Ark Annihilation Barrage! Attack with Natto Bacteria!”
“Grrrrrrrraaahhh!!!”
“Bean Meteor!”
“Whaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!”

While Horkosfon unleashes a barrage of hundreds of Man...

#1168 The Dragon in the Well

Today, I'm full of energy and feeling proud of my adorable sons.

Looking back at the recent trade fair, there were plenty of things that made me feel it was all worth it, but there's one highlight that stands out.

It was Alexander's demo dungeon construction.
To be precise, it's a trial version of his main dun...

#1167 The Primordial Dragon’s Present Life

I am Typhon, the Proto-Geyser Dragon.

The primordial and strongest of all dragons.

Originally, dragons were created as enforcers of divine punishment.
When the gods grew arrogant and sought to destroy and reshape the world at their whim, dragons appeared as the final stopgap.

As a counterforce to arrogan...

#1166 Seaweed Flashbacks

The trade fair has finally wrapped up, but there are still some leftovers.

Sure, there were the memories and the sense of accomplishment from finishing a major project… that’s definitely part of it.
But from the beginning, this whole plan also had a bit of a political angle in mind.

I think we successfully...

#1165 The Roughneck Mayor’s Confusion

I’m Ariaros, the mayor of a town in the Human Kingdom.

And boy, have things taken a strange turn.

I was supposed to be showing Miss Kimeri, governor of a Demon Kingdom city, around the trade fair, but the atmosphere is…awkward, to say the least.

She’s basically my counterpart in another country, so on ...

#1164 School Festival Magic

I am Kimeri, proud governor of the Demon Kingdom.

And here I am, somehow ending up touring the trade fair with a human male.

It’s not like I asked for this arrangement, but it’s not as if there’s nothing in it for me, either.

He, after all, governs the Human Kingdom’s city closest to this new land of...

#1163 Another Regular Participant’s POV

My name’s Ariaros.

It may sound like a big-shot's name, but I’m really nothing more than a common thug.
No fancy education, no highborn family.
By rights, I should’ve spent my whole life scraping by in some back alley, never amounting to much.

But my life took a sudden turn when the war ended.

...

#1162 A Regular Attendee's POV 2

Continuing on: It’s me, Kimeri, the female governor from the Demon Kingdom.

I’m currently checking out the trade fair in the settlers’ new country.
Even before I stepped in, I was curious about what it’d be like, but now that I’m actually seeing it, I’m overwhelmed all over again.

“This is what t...

#1161 A Regular Attendee’s POV 1

My name is Kimeri.

I’m the female governor entrusted with running the Demon Kingdom’s city of Rondmelt.
In our system, the governor oversees the city. A representative chosen by the city council is officially appointed by the feudal lord, and that’s how one assumes the position.

I followed that process m...

#1160 First Comes the Demo Version

All three rounds of the contest have concluded.

So, does that mean all the chaos that started with Alexander’s sudden appearance is finally settling down?
I’d thought things had calmed down nicely after the trade fair was a success, only for this unexpected “overtime match” to pop up out of nowhere.

Fr...

#1159 The Taste of Nostalgia

According to an ancient proverb:
“Ramen and bald guys are quick to start cooking battles.”

Granted, there’s no bald guy here today.
Instead, it’s a ramen showdown between dragons.

Veil vs. Alexander.

Two of the strongest dragons in existence are about to face off in the ultimate ramen battle....
