Sea Dragon[Before] 海龍[前] When dealing with mages or a demon beast, there are a few things you need to do to ensure your survival. First of all, you will need an item that has resistance against your opponent. You'll be dead if you make the first move. If you are unarmed against a mage, you are as good as dead from the start. This is why taking on a magic knight is especially tricky. And never look them in the eye, even if you have a resistance item in your possession. One last thing. If you feel somewhat attracted to their voices, hurt yourself. You may already be enchanted. ―――That was the guidelines for training new knights, in the Unified Nation of Ishtalica. 「Haah....Haah.....Excuse me for disrupting your meeting, this is an emergency! Is Lloyd-sama here?」 At the sound of this voice, the members in the main conference room looked at the door that had opened with a loud bang. There was a knight who was looking for Lloyd while trying to catch his breath, which had become disorder...

Krone & Graff [Before]  クローネ＆グラーフ[前] 「Ladies and gentlemen. We have just entered the waters around the continent of Ishtalica」 It was the first shipment carrying the sea crystals from Euro. On the ship were people from the Augusto family, including Graf, who were heading for Ishtalica. More sea crystals were mined from there than in Ishtalica, this ship was filled with it and proceeding smoothly through the sea. 「I've heard of it before. But this ship was really fast huh」 「I used to ride on the outbound route only. However, the speed seems to have increased a lot since then」 「Yes. The last time Graf-sama was on board was three generations ago. Compared to the ships of that time, the stability, speed, and basic performance have all been improved」 The person who was showing Graf and the others around was a civil servant of Ishtalica, who was a direct subordinate of Prime Minister Warren. A salon was set up in the room for the nobles, and they gathered there to drink tea and recei...

Her Mischief 彼女の悪戯 Notes: Read Part1 on Kari's Translation  https://sousaku.blog/maseki-gurume-toc/maseki-gurume-028a/ Centinni, as the site who host this chapter previously is dead now, it's not a copy from them, I re:TL it. And I hope, Kari won't delete his/her site/translation too, so I won't need to re:TL those previous chapters too lol. ＊＊＊ It was a little while after the disturbance of the magic stone. Ainz was going on a long trip for the first time in a while. The destination was the largest port town in Ishtalica, which he had visited on his first day in Ishtalica. Since it was Ainz, the royal water train would normally bring him there, but since it wasn't something that should be made too big a deal of, he took the water train, which has cars for nobles. Ainz and Chris were the one heading there. In the car in front of him were Warren and a few other civil servants, as well as the knights who were guarding him. We were on our way to a ship arriving at the ...

The World in Motion 動き出す世界 The seasons come and go. Even if people stop growing, it never stops. That was also the case here at the Royal Kingsland Academy. Three years have passed since Ainz entered the academy. Ainz had not been demoted from the first group, and was living his academy life smoothly. 「So I said to him, "Your muscles are really like a slug huh"」 「What's that? Are you belittling me?」 「You're still talking rudely to His Highness aren't you. Also, slugs are made almost entirely of muscle. That's why it doesn't make sense to discredit them in terms of muscle」 「Ha, hahaha....But there's something wrong with the slugs floating there」 It's mid-day and the sun is not yet weak. On the open terrace at the Royal Kingsland Academy, several students were talking to each other. They were not skipping classes, but were allowed to attend classes freely.  As they nibbled on the tea they had ordered and a few sweets, the conversation became lively. ...

Memories of The Magic Stones[1] 魔石の古い記憶[1] 「....」 In the dark, damp cave, how and why was he born? He couldn't figure out why, no matter how much he thought about it. After a few hours after he woke up, what seemed to be his ego had awakened, the first thing he do, was to check his body. Other than that, all he did was lean his body against a rock. 「A, Ah....」 His voice's tone was low and dull, he felt terrible tired, his body feels so heavy, he's hungry, needed help, and scared. These are the only thoughts that run through his head. 「....Ara, sweetie. Are you alone?」 「....?」 「Arara, you don't even know any words yet huh. Nice to meet you. little skeleton-kun?」 Although he didn't even recognize himself, he was somewhat glad that he was no longer alone. A woman appeared in front of him. She held a large staff in her hand and wore a black robe. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a few stones. 「Ah......?」 「Come on, eat up. You must be hungry, right?」 He could g...

Differences in Knowledge 知識のすれ違い The tour of the Royal Kingsland Academy took a good amount of time. There's a number of dedicated facilities with a large area, and there were many things that Ainz had never seen before, and Dill, knowing this, gave him a detailed explanation. 「Well, that's all for the tour of the major facility groups」 「Thank you. I never thought there was so many facilities, but I guess, I might not even use some of it though」 「Yes, that's true. However, the magic training facility in the library is convenient, so it will be easier for you to use it rather than doing research in the castle」 The academy has a huge library, which is one of the largest in Ishtalica in terms of size and the amount of books it holds. 「There's even an area that can only be used by the first group, so why not take a look at it next time」 「Hee, is there even a book that's not exist in the castle?」 「There is, Rather, it's even stored in a valuable archive that only has...
