Magi’s Grandson

Vol 3 Chapter 74

JUNE 16, 2018/KAELPIE

Kaelpie here.

So its been a year. A year since Ive started translating, and what a year it has been.

From starting by my lonesome, to partnering with Conform Child and joining Yado Inn. Taking up JUSCO and Yado Inn being a whole hurricane of its own. Figuring out how the f.u.c.k are you supposed to use wordpress and regretting that choice to this very day.

And in that year I put out 19 chapters counting this one. 1 Short of that round 20 but oh well. What can you do?Apart from not being a lazy f.u.c.k.

Watching people I work with come and go has been an interesting experience to say the least. When I think of events from 4 or 5 months ago it feels like 4 or 5 years. Even if I only appear once a month I do feel Ive become a bit of a stable pillar at least in my corner of the tling community.Even if I dont have the skills to justify it.

Heres hoping I can keep chugging along for another year.

I may have pushed this out unedited to make it in time for the anniversary. Thank G.o.d CC puts up with my lazy a.s.s.Be warned I may have missed some nameless characters in order to make it in time.

Also Croatia beat Nigeria 2-0 in the World Cup.Yay!

And the music recommendation for this month is Death The Sound of Perserverance(Death Metal)

As far as Death goes I could honestly put any alb.u.m of theirs. Sorry for all the metal recommendations but that is the genre I love most. Im trying not to be so one note(ha!) with them but I can make no promises.

Ralph Strikes Back!(lolz)

Due the speech of Ekatarina, the head of state of Holy Country Ys, s.h.i.+n became and official Angel of G.o.d.

From the people that heard the speech, two of them feel anger and disappointment.

One of them was Ralph, who objected to placing s.h.i.+n at the center of the strategy during the strategy meeting.

And the other one is

That girl Did she just?(Melinda) (Kaelpie: OH NO SHE DI-INT. Thats my best impression of a sa.s.sy black woman. leavemealone.)

Its Melinda who was listening to the Popes speech in Earlshyde.

Merlin and Melinda werent willing to let s.h.i.+n be used in politics due to his abnormal power.

However currently its a state of emergency due to a ma.s.s outbreak of devils.

At such a time they dont intend to say they arent allowed to depend on s.h.i.+ns power.

Furthermore, s.h.i.+n has clearly express the desire to save the world.

They can understand the desire to strategically rely on such a s.h.i.+n.

So Melinda didnt object to s.h.i.+n gradual ascension into a hero and didnt oppose the publis.h.i.+ng of a story about s.h.i.+n.

But this was completely different.

This was the Pope standing atop of this worlds largest religion.

The Pope has proudly declared to the World Alliance that s.h.i.+n was a messenger of G.o.d.

Through that declaration some will recognize s.h.i.+n as an important figure in the Church of Creation.

If that happens, people who seek to use s.h.i.+n in political tactics may come out.

That was the most unforgivable thing for Merlin and Melinda.

Kukukuku I guess I will have to prepare quite the lecture(Melinda)

When her anger reached its peak, Melinda burst into laughter while the Earlshyde Queen Julia, May and Elizabeth who were listening to the speech at the departure ceremony together at venue in Earlshyde were looking at her with puzzled faces.

Melinda is scary(May)

Shh! May, what if she hears you!(Elizabeth)

May is afraid of Melindas appearance which she has never seen before, and Elizabeth is really worried if Melinda heard her.

Its too bad but a business trip just popped up. With this I will have to take my leave.(Melinda)

Yes Well, could you please not overdo it?(Julia)

Julie antic.i.p.ates the situation that will happen and asks Melinda but

Come on Merlin! Im going to Dahm!(Melinda)

Maybe she didnt hear her or she intentionally ignored her and instead of replying to Julia, she called Merlin who became a part of the background in the corner.

Haa I understand. Would you like to appear at the Dahm Cathedral?(Merlin)

Merlin said that and opened the Gate.

When she saw Merlin and Melinda disappear into the game, Julia murmured to herself.

That girl I wonder if she will be able to get out with her life?(Julia)

Thanks to the earlier speech, the departure ceremony ended lively and the heads of state returned to Dahm Cathedral.

Well, that was an excellent statement.(notimetothinkofajokename)

Umu, by recognizing s.h.i.+n as the messenger of G.o.d, the rumor that we have a fighting chance has probably spread.(Ekatarina)

Ufufu, you did a good job for the first time in a while.(notimetothinkofajokename)

The departure ceremony ended on a high note so the state leaders got swept up in a happy occasion and were celebrating.

They are the top executives of their national governments and if its necessary they must be able to prepare a speech to rally the people.

In that sense, in order to give courage and hope to the people of the World Alliance, the aforementioned speech was splendid.

But they neglected to consider what s.h.i.+ns guardians would think.

Young giiiiiirl!!!(Melinda)

A loud shout suddenly echoed through the corridor of the Dahm Cathedral.

Escorts who heard the shout put themselves on guard for an enemy raid.

The leaders of the three world powers are here! Their bodies stiffened.

If you become a leader of a country its common for you to be exposed to danger.

However, even the leaders of the three powers were frightened by that earlier shout.

Other leaders and escorts who saw it wondered if it

is that powerful of an opponent? And the ground seems to be trembling as the threat approached

Eventually The owner of the voice showed up.

Young girl Youve done it now(Melinda)

M-Master!(Ekatarina)

Among those frightened leaders, Pope Ekatarina let out a voice when she saw Melinda.

The people from the Holy Country Y were particularly surprised to hear those words.

Master.

The Pope certainly did say that.

Come to think of it they have heard something like that. When Pope Ekatarina was young woman, she left the Holy Country Y and was traveling around the countries with a party.

And the woman Ekatarina that had returned to Ys acquired a power different from normal people and was proclaimed a saint.

Certainly, that party was

M-m-m-m-master? W-w-w-w-why are you here?(Ekatarina)

Surely I wouldnt have decided to come if I didnt hear your playful speech!?(Melinda)

Yes, it was a party with the Magi Merlin and Guru Melinda.

Melinda, a Guru hailed as a hero worldwide is the one Pope Ekatarina looks up to as her master.

The legend is in front of their eyes.

She is also considerably angry.

The escorts couldnt even move because of that force and only grounds called out of their throats.

Bonk! (Kaelpie: We Garfield now bois.)

OUCH!(Ekatarina)

n.o.body could move so n.o.body could stop and they could only watch carefully as Melinda approached Ekatarina and dropped her fist on her head.

Wh, What are you doing!?(Ekatarina)

What areyoudoing! You used my grandson for something like this! Are you prepared for the consequences!?(Melinda)

T-Thats(Ekatarina)

Ekatarina knew that s.h.i.+n was raised as Merlin and Melindas grandchild.

She knew but this was an emergency. She believed Melinda would understand and turned to Diseum for help.

(Dis)

Diseum turned his face away..

Hey! Big bro, youre heartless!(Ekatarina)

Being accompanied by Merlin and Melinda on her journey means that she was traveling with Diseum.

Ekatarina referred to Diseum, who was accompanying the two aforementioned people, as her older brother.

Incidentally, she refers to Julia as her older sister.

Ekatarina, betrayed by her fellow senior disciple, felt betrayed.

W-well Long time no see master. Er Even is she made a mistake like that, is it really unforgivable?(notimetothinkofajokename)

Haaa!?(Melinda)

Hii!(Little boy)

Ah, what is it, little boy?(Melinda)

N-no master. Dont you think Im not a little boy anymore after I pa.s.s 40?(Little boy over 40)

As long as you act like a little boy youll be a little boy. Or do you have something to add? You think I should respect you just because you became the president of Els?(Melinda)

Thats not true As expected of master(Little boy President of Els)

The man Melinda has been calling little boy just now is Aaron Zenith, the President of the Els Federation of Free Commerce, and the Merlins travel companion when he was young.

He was traveling around the country as a peddler, but was attacked by demons along the way and saved by a hairs breadth.

As thanks for that, Zenith, who was traveling around the country, served as a guide, he negotiated the demon materials that were hunted along the way and sold them at a high price, thus earning the parties travel expenses.

He also calls Melinda master because she taught him how to negotiate and at the time he left the party and became independent, Melinda gave him rights to some magical tools she developed. (Kaelpie: Because no one in this novel can do s.h.i.+t on their own. This worldliterallyrevolves around Merlin and Melinda.)

He started a business in the capital revolving around those magic tools and in the blink of an eye he climbed ranks to a large merchant and eventually became the president.

Because of that, he felt deeply indebted to Melinda.

Because he used to travel around the country as a peddler, he has a lean body that doesnt seem like its over 40 years old. Such a Zenith is deeply humbled in front of Melinda.

Elss officials couldnt hide their confusion due the miserable appearance of their president who should be tough but reliable.

Diseum.(Melinda)

Y-Yes!(Dis)

Why didnt you stop her?(Melinda)

W-well That is(Diseum)

Because if Melindas glare, Diseum panicked and was at a loss for words.

The longest a.s.sociate amongst the three disciples, her realized that Melinda is quite angry and his body stiffened.

Melinda saw Diseum like that

Seiza.(Melinda)

Huh?(Diseum)

Seiza.(Melinda)

Ye-yes!(The Three Merry Idiots)

Even Zenith, who should originally be unrelated was pushed by the angry gaze of Melinda and sat in a seiza.

Now Little girl.(Melinda)

Y-Yes!(Ekatarina)

Have you read the book about s.h.i.+n?(Melinda)

Yes.(Ekatarina)

If thats the case you should remember what was written in the book. That s.h.i.+n wont allow himself to be used for military or political plots. Thats what is says. What youve done is definitively a political plot. Or is it different?(Melinda)

That is Yes(Ekatarina)

I will not oppose the use of s.h.i.+ns abnormal power for the benefit of humanity. But hey, isnt this a little different?(Melinda)

Yes.(Ekatarina)

While its good to use s.h.i.+ns power for world peace, its wrong to use it for political plots and that is why Melinda reprimanded Ekatarina.

Scolded my Melinda, Ekatarina silently dropped her shoulders.

Diseum.(Melinda)

Y-Yes!(Diseum)

Why didnt you stop her?(Melinda)

T-That is If s.h.i.+n was certified as the messenger he would be recognized as a friend of humanity(Diseum)

Even though Im glad youre thinking about s.h.i.+n. Did you not think about the impact if this little girl declared it?(Melinda)

Im sorry. I only thought about how with this no one would think of s.h.i.+n as an enemy of humanity(Diseum)

Haa Good job Diseum. You proved that s.h.i.+n has a good relations.h.i.+p with Ys and the church of creation. Isnt that great?(Melinda)

Yes Im sorry.(Diseum)

Diseum also failed to think of the possibility that it might produce an unnecessary misunderstanding for s.h.i.+n, and dropped his shoulders as well.

Aaron.(Melinda)

Y-Yes!(Aaron)

Why are you sitting in a seiza?(Melinda) (Kaelpie: This might be the first genuine laugh I got from

from this series.)

Well Ahaha, I sat in a seiza because its a habit from the old days.(Aaron)

It appears he was scolded a lot in the past. Zenith said that he sat in a seiza on reflex.

Really all of youNo matter how much time pa.s.ses you never grow up.(Melinda)

Aahahaha(The Three t.w.a.ts)

Merlin, who was becoming one with the air more than usual, was watching that sight in such a way as to not trigger Melindas anger.

There is no doubt that Melinda is this worlds grandma G.o.d(Kaelpie: wat?)

Did you say something?(Melinda)

N-no! I didnt say anything.

Even the leaders of the three world powers cannot raise their heads in front of Melinda.

Given that Melinda was mad at them for s.h.i.+ns sake, The big shot Merlin was invisible.

And the other person who couldnt hide his disappointment from the speech of Ekatarina, Ralph, moved to the battlefield in a horse drawn carriage.

His position is at the top of the military in the Kingdom of Dahm, the military commander.

Indeed the Kingdom of Dahm is deeply religious and most people are followers of the Church of Creation, he is pious believer and with an honest personality, the King and the people trust him greatly.

However his behaviour at the previous cabinet meeting caused ripples in Dahm Kingdom.

Ralph refused let s.h.i.+n Walford partic.i.p.ate in the strategy.

Its not an exaggeration to say these talks will decide the fate of the world, so all the minutes are open to the public.

In the minutes it said that Ralph was opposed to placing s.h.i.+n at the center of the strategy to subjugate the devils until the very end.

Its already knows amongst the people that s.h.i.+n has subjugated a devil twice before and has torn down nearly half of their forces.

To say that that hope of humanity s.h.i.+n Walford to be excluded from the strategy

Just what is going on with Ralph?

Does he have a feud with s.h.i.+n Walford?

The rumor has caused rumors and it is now the hottest gossip amongst the Dahm citizens.

Ralph who is considered to be the center of such popular gossip, was riding on a horse drawn carriage with fellows who share his views.

I cant believe it For even the Pope to admit that s.h.i.+n Walford is a Messenger of G.o.d

Secretary Portman. I cant stand it! Well Even though hes not a believer he is touted as the messenger of G.o.d and moreover his wedding ceremony will be conducted by the Pope herself! What are they doing!? About s.h.i.+n Walford and the others!

A minority group within the Church of Creation. A soldier that was unable to acknowledge s.h.i.+n as a Messenger of G.o.d and Sicily as the Saint roared his voice.

Those who rode on this horse drawn carriage, although they verbally abused s.h.i.+n who officially received the Messenger of G.o.d t.i.tle, s.h.i.+n didnt ask for any of this, archbishop Makna was the one who suggested the wedding ceremony and the Pope of the Church of Creation Ekatarina was the one who arbitrarily decided to proclaim him a messenger of G.o.d. Even though because of that they were heavily reprimanded by Melinda

They didnt mention any of that and naturally concentrated all their spite on s.h.i.+n.

All of them are pious believers in the G.o.d of Creation.

The purpose of this religion is to acc.u.mulate good deeds and be guided to G.o.d who created this world after death, the expectation is that the person who was sent by that G.o.d should be respected.

However the person they regard to as a G.o.d is not an imaginary figure.

The person that is supposed to have been sent by G.o.d is not religious Is this some sort of sick joke? (Kaelpie:Im starting to think this novel is some sort of sick joke as well.)

Originally it was because of that that he was opposed to calling s.h.i.+n a messenger of G.o.d, but it turned out that he had a playful personality which came and drew lots in the middle of a battle.

Although not outrageous, it is still unacceptable. So they claim.

Incidentally, they wont accept Sicily as the saint because she is not a priest in the Church of Creation.

The current Pope gained her t.i.tle after studying as a priest, it would be expected to face backlash from the Church of Creation if you start to call yourself that while not being a priest.

*** You are reading on / ***

Because of that we must accomplish great achievements and show to the Pope that fake messengers such as s.h.i.+n Walford are unnecessary.(Ralph) (Kaelpie: Imagine he sees the error of his ways and somehow ends up with the Pope.)
