Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord ~The Nameless Village Is Made Into the Strongest Fortified City by Production Magic~
The child of an aristocrat, Van, suddenly remembers his past life when he became two years old. Van was once rumored to be a child prodigy. However, at the age of eight, He was found to have had an aptitude for production magic, a useless aptitude. He was then promptly banished from his noble family. Braving the hardships of village life, Van continues to develop and defend his village. Soon, the nameless village is turned into a city… though it would be nice if the dragons stopped attacking us.

I’m glad that someone finally picked up this novel. I just hope it’s not another machine translation with editor guessing the words. The first ‘translation’ was horrible.
YurikaHime
I only use MTL for reference and mostly translate everything myself
xX0x0Xx
Too bad you stopped after chapter 1 and translated chapter 44. Chapters 1-43 translated by the other group are terrible. It’s pretty much MTL where the guy guessed a lot of words and what he didn’t guess just removed from the chapters. Probably the worst MTL I have read.
YurikaHime
ah sorry I am still doing a lot of preps before I continue the releases, just be patient for a bit… my scheduled release for this will be every wednesday for now 1 chap per week, when my sched becomes more flexible I will adjust it
Yurika Hime
that’s… painful in a lot of ways… but it is readable at least
GinHindew110
Is this from the light novel?
i dont remember the other magic types being mentioned so early on
Yurika Hime
no, this is from the WN… probably author mistakes
darksoulperi
Thanks for the chapter
Jared Howren
Simple request: can you please translate chapter 44? TheTranslationSargeant translated until chapter 43, and did a pretty good job, and I’m caught up
Zeryu Rei
Sorry, not related but can’t help to comment… That illustration up there: (the one with the ant waist); why is it, the legs below the knee bent weirdly like it broken…?
Zeryu Rei
*especially the right leg…
Well, whatever… Not like I’m gonna read this novel anyway… (I tend to avoid reading polygamy/polyandry novel/s)… ???
John Allen Delos Santos
This would have been a good read if not for the confusing pronoun use. Had a hard time distinguishing male and female characters.
Thanks for the chapter though
Unianonanymity
The pronoun use is indeed confusing. I like to assume that new characters are female until told otherwise
Higira
Yup I can’t read this. It goes from dee as her than suddenly it’s back to he. I miss the old translator
AmbyrRavyn
This isn’t that bad, at least the sentences make sense. I’ve read worse, way worse. I’d rather have this.

Thanks for the chapter
Kenji Makoto
Cant wait for more chapters!
John Allen Delos Santos
Again there’s a problem with pronouns. Panamela gets turned male to female in a matter of paragraphs. That’s a very quick sex change procedure.

Comedor de casadas
I’ve been following this work since 2020 I’m glad someone translated it again as I can stop reading on soysetsu , I’m looking forward to you getting to the current ones, thanks for your hard work translator-sama
RagingDs
Thanks for the chapters. I’m glad this story is getting some attention again. One suggestion though for the translations…please confirm genders of the characters and stick with them. I know Japanese makes it difficult to discern genders for new characters with little context, but going back and forth on genders for long established characters is a bit jarring and a little confusing.
Yurika Hime
I am doing so, things will be much clear now and all the questionable parts should be flattened out by my TL… I do want to TL it from the start but it would be inefficient in a lot of ways so I decided to just continue it and if I did have some extra time, I will slowly work it up from 1
Jared Howren
thanks

thank you for picking this up
kirindas

I don’t know if it improves later on, but I gave up on this after a few chapters because it feels like garbage-tier MTL.
I was hoping there’d be a better version coming, but I guess not.
Akachi
Which one? Because the old MTL from the link above is of much better quality than what the translator is putting here, and apparently fanstranslations actually pays for it.

Its a shame this series takes too long to be translated
Yurika Hime
I am currently translating like around 8 titles, so I need to space out the translations so that it won’t be too much of a burden to me so it couldn’t be helped… also the regular release will be once a week for now…
Tim Platt
*nods*
(Me who has read the Google translations to when the kingdom building arc….)
Saturn
“Panamella Carrera Cayenne”
Are you sure her name isn’t Panamera, as the previous translator had used? Panamera, Carrera, and Cayenne are all names of Porsche cars, so I think that’s the inspiration the author was going for.
Yurika Hime
I should have announced, but I have changed names and stuff etc according to my interpretation, the same with places and stuff, I did plan to re-TL this from one but would take too much time so I decided to continue for now and slowly reTL from 1 if I have some free time

According to the translation Bora can sprout a d*ck in mid paragraph, so maybe there’s no defined gender 😛
YurikaHime
those are definitely typos… as I am still currently busy, I will try a read over on all posted so far and find typos or mistranslations when I have extra time.

as an avid reader, I really enjoy reading even if the translation is a little bad, but this is just pressuring me to go the translator and basically demand to be allowed to proofread and edit this.
It’s very frustrating!!

Since I’m like watching anime in my mind while reading, it’s easy to edit~

TBH this reads like something straight out of deepl. And fanstranslations say they actually pay translators. I think they’re getting the raw end of the deal with this one.
Gurr
In previous chapter Van “purchased wood from a nearby place” for a 10 meter wide bridge in a forest. Apparently forest is populated with blind woodworkers since they live near dungeon but was not able to find it. It’s would be great if proofreaders (if there are any) had some common sense.

Let’s see, Espada was left in the city and Van was with his group and Ortos. When they came back Espada was with someone, posibly Gee, and then Ortos tried to help Van but didn’t do much to convince Espada, right?
Ookami Yuu
in the raws the one in charge of the place arround the dungeon is orthos, so why is espada name there?, because the ones waiting for van to return were espada and dee, as van did’t tell them about going to the labirinth, they were waiting so that they can reprimand him, and no one could help him. god i had to read the raws because there are so much mistranslations, above all about pronouns and names. i don’t know if the author changed something or fixed it.

Thanks xD

“This is especially true in a country like Japan, which is expanding its territory rapidly.”
Excuse me, since when did the WW3 started?
Atamazy Tr?bka
Is it the king’s monologue that mentions Japan? Or who is saying it?

that happens a lot with automatic translators when the text refers to a country the MC belongs, may be the same way japanese people don’t always say nihon to name their own country…

But even if it can’t be used for warfare she can make amazing puppet shows 😀

Thanks for the chapter.
Hokosha
If he really wanted to drive the point home, he could make a speech about how magic is neither good nor evil or useful/useless, it all depends on how the user applies it. As well as pointing out that just having a certain apptitude doesn’t define a person’s personality. All of the villagers there know that very few nobles are good people that care about their citizens, yet all the nobles in positions of power have ‘good/useful’ magic.
kirindas
Thanks for the new chapter!
Vice
When I joked about it, Xsara, as usual, overreacted. The fact that she was half crying was probably because she was overacting.
“Ah, Mr. Medici. She’s the only one who can help me, but she’s probably just as tired as I am. She does half of the education of the slaves. He’s an angel to me, an angel.”
Pronouns are wrong/keep changing here

Are you too late to say after reading this far

“Pluriel has a lot of wood block armor because it is lightweight, but he just bought a mithril staff for his staff.”
Isn’t Pluriel a girl?
Akachi
Don’t worry about it, the translator certainly doesn’t.
YurikaHime
Thank you for pointing it out. Pluriel is a girl… the naming of the chars here are so hard to distinguish that if I didn’t read the raw manga I would have not known what’s what
Hokosha
It’s also just like him to use an undervalued magic type to strike the first blow.

I’m just happy Arte gets to shine and know she’s not useless or unwanted.

Hokosha
He’s terrified of people thinking of him as incompetent for throwing away such a valuable person based on his prejudices against certain magics.
Akachi
To be fair it’s not only his prejudices, the whole kingdom is full of muscleheads who think only of elemental magic power.
Hokosha
Yes, but they don’t have to deal with an example of the exception slapping them in the face. Which in a way, makes it even worse for this guy.
Astral Trinity
Thanks for the chapter.
It just occurred to me but production magic is just manipulating the form, shape and structure of whatever your magic comes in contact with and is only limited by the knowledge and imagination of those who use it.

Next chapter “and that is when he knew he F’ed up.”

Akachi
Because it is just slightly edited MTL.
I was thinking of paying for access to 40+ chapters on ko-fi, but I refuse to remunerate anyone for cr^p like this. I don’t even expect a proper localisation (which means things like changing idioms to english ones, or explaining references), but come on, at least check for mistakes.
Arte and Panamera randomly become d*ckgirls, there are repetitions and 20% of the text makes no sense in any context.
Oh, and it’s not the site, it’s just the translator being lazy. The latest chapters available here are a bit better, but still nothing worth paying for.
Mark
I don’t think van realizes how much damage he actually did with his retreat. I have no doubt that was a serious blow to morale and I’m betting it’s not so easy to replace those wyverns. And with his display of new weapons he should have instilled some caution in the enemy commander.
pokeperson1000
I hope we get to see the aftermath of that
rielly ??
Were they ordered to retreat?
Or, did they abandon the battlefield?
Very confusing.
?
Akachi
Arte shone brightly again, nice.
Akachi
So I bit the bullet and bought access to the ko-fi chapters (up to 125), despite vehemently stating I would never do that.
It cost me 10 USD. It’s not a lot, but it’s 10 USD too much.
What about the quality? The same mess as free chapters here, barely edited MTL. In chapter 90 Arte is a “he” until the end. In 93 she’s called a “son”. This continues in later chapters, sometimes in one sentence she’s a “He”, and in the next one a “She”.
Poor Arte, she gets no respect I tells ya.
And it gets worse:
– Repeated sentences straight out of translating software.
– Trebuchets become pitchforks, then trebuchets again.
– Panamera gets demoted to baron in one sentence, then goes back to viscount in another, then sprouts a d*ck, because who cares about pronouns, amirite?
-Borra also randomly switches between male and female. S/He’s just built that way I suppose.
– Camsin becomes Khamsin.
– A captured POW randomly promises to torture Van when they go back to his territory. Did Van become an M? No, in another example of poor translation a question that was MTL’ed as a statement was not corrected.
– There are discussions that make no sense at all with or without context.
-Chapter 107 is missing, so I checked the raws: Arte uses 2 puppets equipped with mithril armour and Van’s ridiculously sharp weapons to massacre a 10000 man strong army besieging her hometown while her father is in Scudetto. They don’t meet in person, but Arte’s mother, in what she believes is her last moments, regrets being a b*tch to her daughter, who she thought would disgrace her because of her aptitude. Well, your daughter just used the puppets you despised to save your husband’s territory and your life
So yeah, a month ago when the translator said they “mistakenly” posted unedited chapters they were either lying, or their editing misses even basic stuff.
It gets a little bit better after chapter 115, but even then it just switches from poor to average.
Dame
Can’t agree more. Thanks for the update regarding the quality in future chapters.
I’ve seen the same comment about “mistakenly” posting unedited chapters over and over, so I never believed that bs excuse the 2nd time.
The translator’s obviously trying to do too much out of their own capability. It’s painfully obvious they’re not reading the chapter they’d be posting because a simple pronoun mistake is to obvious not to notice. Not to mention repeating words and sentences, including the spacing errors.
Akachi
I no longer have access to those chapters, but the one’s the translator is putting here are actually of better quality, with some signs of editing.
Maverun
Thanks for new chapter, he about to realized the truth hahaha..will he do what i predict or better?
Moltaramus
Hey, thanks for the update. I enjoy this novel and your translation. Keep up the good work.
pokeperson1000
Everything he criticized Murcia for was something Van was probably praised for. Ability to learn, ability to think, etc. Not that he’d ever realize that on his own. Too preoccupied by his mindset of “if the magic affinity is shit, everything else about them is shit” and “if the magic affinity is good, other things about them can potentially be good”. Good thing the King is there to drive the bulldozer up to the fortress that is his philosophy. Dunno if the King will be the one to demolish the fortress, but hey. Now the bulldozer is parked next to it.
On a side note, Marquis, Van isn’t “going” to slay a dragon, he already “slew” the dragon. 😛
.
.
I bowed deeply and apologized.
I bowed deeply and apologized. I didn’t mean to…”
.

I don’t think the Marquis narrated his bowing. Reiterated his apology, maybe, but not the bow.
Oscar Ortigoza
Muchas gracias hermano aquí tenes un fan desde Paraguay

Thanks for the translation.
Here is a possible error:
“At these words, Murcia’s eyes widen in surprise and SHE eventually bursts into tears and laughs.”
I believe Murcia is male. So it’s a HE.
YurikaHime
thank you will fix it XD

I wonder if Van’s dad is beginning to realize how badly he messed up throwing van away.
Airlol
That why I hate merchant same as noble. Both of them never think how hard human at low income to survive for their control economy and military without giving other changes. The top majority been control by person that inheritance wealth or influence. Like Elon, he inheritance he father diamond mine influence. Because of this influence, he can enter the rich circle though he claim he never use it but if he don’t have this info in he data, it will be more hard to enter the circle.

Where the chapter 90? Did chapter 90 is a summary chapter and our translator don’t want to translate it?

The conversation with Van and the enemy just sounds like the Monty Python sketch with King Arthur and the soldiers atop a wall
Vice
Japan doesn’t have a specific gendered pronouns, but yeah this is translated via some bot so I agree why rush it? Still it’s not all bad
Panemera is a woman tho
Olivier Dox
And so is Arte. She is Van’s fiance. And our views are opposite : if the translations are going to be this bad all the way, just release them in bulk. If you release them that slowly, do a proper job then.
Akachi
Believe me, this continues onwards. Wait until 93, Arte is called a “son” of Count Ferdinand (The context is “Are they father and son after all?”)
I’m sure it will not be fixed.
Paid ko-fi chapters are the same, they were translated back in November and no edits were made, so here we just get them with a delay.
The “translator” is doing several titles at the same time, and all of it is probably the same barely edited mtl quality.

Boy’s family must be freaking out, not only was he guaranteed a title but the rights the surrounding land. Essentially stealing the new territory out from under them. His brothers would be fools to bully him, as he’s someone who’s earned his title and with the King’s eye on him.
Hei Dao
Boy’s family is definitely going to REEEEE now. An investigation team is already on its way to confirm the claims of dragon slayers to secure his title and land, but now word of a dungeon is going to really stir things up.

I forget, he’s a bit of a weapon fanatic right?

Just a side note to remember tho; Viscount Panamera is indeed a woman, confirmed through the manga. I recalled a few times that there’s a bit of ambiguity in past chapters (switching between ‘his/her’), although it was correctly stated in the first few TL’d chapters of her appearance.
Karl von Stein
Same with Arte, the girl with the puppeteer skill.
Kaitlyn
Anyone else a little unsettled by the continuing reference of Van’s father as ‘Daddy’? I think I’ve had enough internet for today.
Akachi
“Daddy dearest” would be better to show Van’s disdain for his POS father.
Dame
Lmao yes. I just read it as “father” because it’s more suitable that way.
Hearing someone who’s over 40yrs old in actuality say “daddy” just gives me the creeps.
Akachi
“Was it because they were father and daughter, after all? ”
Oh cool, so you did notice it. The paid ko-fi chapter had “Was it because they were father and son”.
Arthe and Panamera still remain misgendered though.
Vice
I would not call him daddy :p
kirindas
Thanks for the new chapter!
Andrei Stakov
If it’s about pointing out the issues on the previous chapter, I don’t even realized that this was all MTL though.
It was just that most of the time, even an experienced TL would still get confused in conversation-filled chapters, and how confusing third person pronoun usage in Japanese language is not helping at all. Keeping a simple note on names and their details would be very much helpful in the long run.
Also, thanks for the chapter!

For real gender in japan and korean novels are common mistakes

Jedi cs27
Lol I noticed too. WTF!
Shira
Probably it meant “procured”, like get it from the forest. But yeah it can use some editing or proofreading, a lot of sentences are weirdly written.
DSiren
most of it is bearable but the ‘daddy’ is just too much, and if you had even one beta reader/editor you’d be able to catch most of the noticeable stuff.
like, just find&replace ‘daddy’ with ” ‘s Father ” and you’ve already reduced the errors by 20%
Druhm AR
Please stop using “daddy” and just use “father” e.g. Arte Daddy to Arte’s Father and Daddy to Father. Every time I read daddy, a chill goes up my spine.

Panamera laughed out loud at Borra, who nodded with a difficult look on his face, then approached him and patted him on the shoulder…On HER face, than approached her and patted her on the shoulder.
Arte opens his mouth with a laugh….Arte opens her mouth with a laugh.

Maverun
Mhmm.. I am bit conflict, I understand her reason as it is her duty for count family and reputation but as a mother, I guess she felt guilt for it
ThePlaneskeeper
Something to keep in mind is that the victor of a medieval battle often took conquered noble women and either enslaved and raped them (either themselves or their soldiers); or took them as low tier concubines (IE: to abuse and make children with little regard to health).
Once they served their purpose – if their performance was inadequate, they would be killed and put on display.
Fear and power were exercised to keep enemies and the populace in line – frequently.
In a world where blood lines are valued for magic – you can imagine that taking powerful blood lines and forcing them to make children would be common as a way to demoralize the enemy after winning.
Maverun
That is a fair points, I guess I am used to modern way huh
Akachi
Imagine if instead of sending angry messages to your sibling who wronged you you instead gather a team, beat them in battle, imprison and blind, then slowly poison them or have them strangled.
That’s medieval nobility playing by the rules. Imagine what happened to non-nobles.

Im confused.. tsk can anyone explain whats happening in the latter half ?? Im confused as to who’s pov this is and what some line mean .. srsly, especially the situation of the newly formed chamber of Commerce of Van is it still under the mary chamber or a different chamber of Commerce? Fck this translation its getting in to my head
Mellitus
The POV is from an investigator from the Commerce Guild. This is the first time we see him. The red haired girl, Diane, is also making her first appearance. The 30 y.o. Rosalie, if I remember correctly, was a store manager in Fertio’s capital city.
Berlingo Chamber of Commerce is a new bussiness started by Van and those two merchants. It’s independent, but the two merchants originally were members of Mary Chamber of Commerce.
Berlingo Chamber of Commerce is making a lot of money. An amount usually impossible for a new chamber. The investigator is to investigate if there are any frauds in the new chamber, such as being secretly supported by Mary Ch.of.Com. or by the country.
Sometimes, chambers report that they earn different amount of money that they do in reality. It’s so that they can pay less taxes and membership fees to the Commerce Guild. They also kill the investigators sent to check on them. This is what the investigator is afraid of. That the Berlingo is doing something illegal and, together with Van, they might try and kill him.
melancholy
Thank you!!! So Van’s chamber of Commerce is already independent with no strings attached to the mary commerce.. ok ok .. i see so it really is a different pov and new characters introduced ok ok .. thank you now it clears up
Maverun
thanks for new chapter… let hope that Mary Chamber burn…
Mother found out huh, what will be, regret afterward or relieve of knowing her daughter is alive doing well? I wonder.
Angel
Neither. I bet they try to force Van to give them stuff in exchange for the daughters hand or try to force Arte back as a piece to be auctioned off to some high noble.

wouldn’t be surprising, i doubt it will be that easy, considering it look like King is supporting Van or will be his backer in future

Pluriel was elven?
Crentin
I think this chapter could use another editing pass… First and third person are switched more than once, a couple names are off. Pretty sure Van would not refer to HIMSELF as Van san.
As another commenter said, Van should not be referring to HIMSELF running well in a dress, referring to Arte as MR Art instead of MRS/MS Arte, etc.

Ortho, at first being introduced as a big scary looking man, turned out to be a kid at heart with all the teasing that he does. Pluriel is clumsy one in the party always getting herself in trouble during fights, and Ksara/Xsara being the butt of the jokes, but you can tell this party is more like a family.

I entered the water, which was wet water.
This makes exactly as much sense. And besides, was Espada finally with them or waiting for them in the settlement? It was hard to read this chapter.
Dame
We finally got a follow up to Arte’s magic. Dang, I really thought that would happen tens of chapters ago, but I’m glad Van inmediately thought of making soldiers to with Arte’s aid. That puppet control is too OP to not get any spotlight lol. Van and Arte’s magic are match made in heaven fr

Amazing how the nobility is short-sighted on this subject. Arte and Van can conquer the continent. And maybe even the world. Are they the new Demon Lords? 😀

I’m really curious if it’s safe to say that Panamera will be one of Van’s future wives. So far, it has been hinted with her blushing at Van, and saying 5 more years.
But then there’s also Camsin who looks like someone that has a massive crush on Panamera. Even Van noticed that.
Tho it is highly unlikely for him with his status being a slave and all. I just thought how awkward it would be if Van does marry her in the future.
Dame
This is gonna be fun
Dame
Now let’s see your mother try and slap these ones.
Arte MVP ?
Dame
It’s a shame that Arte can only manually pilot two dolls so far. Not sure if she can one day program the dolls on a simple set of rules (even for a day) to conserve her mana more.
Imagine seeing an army of those things marching and patrolling around Van’s fief. Even the King would shit himself.

Taking the high road ??

Production magic was said to be useless cuz itis complex or w/e, Van was able to do it cuz of his memory past plus creative so he was able to understand how, he need to teach them yes, it take time
Atamazy Tr?bka
He could also buy slaves with this skill. Maybe families would get rid of children like this as worthless. In their tight minds, a few silver coins in the hand is better than a child with an “ineffective” skill just eating and generating losses.
Wraith
“We’re from the land of the dwarves. Why should we treat the nobles of another country like we’re so high and mighty? Don’t make fun of us just because we’re short, big guy. Do you think you can win?”
They do realize that, as they are from the land of the dwarves, they are supposed to treat nobles from another country with respect, when they are in the country of that noble. If Van was the type, he could execute the lot of them and no one, not even the king of the dwarves, could or would complain. That’s like an American going to England and insulting their upper brass to their face, then saying because they’re citizens of America they don’t have to show respect to the English.

“After such an exchange, Arte decided to come along. I felt like showing him how good it is, but it’s my first time making an elevator, so the hurdle is high. I’m a little stumped.” – I felt like showing ‘her‘ how good it is.
Arte followed me up the stairs to the third floor, but he was feeling exhausted, and Till stayed by his side the whole way. – but ‘she‘ was feeling exhausting, and Till stayed by ‘her‘ side
He laughs and looks around the large floor. The floor was as spacious as a reinforced concrete structure building because the stairs were used as pillars. – tense seems wrong in the first sentence. Sounds like it should be something like ‘Van/He laughed and looked around the large floor.’

Dark Prinny
Why she insists on Ferdinand beating enemies. Why don’t she just represent Baron Van as it should be. She insists on Van not getting rewards. He deserve it he is helping either way. If it is land they can just buy it off Van. Like how US bought alaska. If the count and countess are incompetent so be it. She got big ego now she just want to take credit to trample her mothers pride. And then she will say we good now mom and now her ego is satisfied because she now top dog with borrowed knife.
noneedtoknow
This is because an upstart noble is too “good”. If they give him very little, the nobles hate the king for not rewarding him. If he gives him land as a reward, the nobles may want to go against him since he’s getting too big for them to handle. So it’s best to minimize issues on both ends so MC can quietly improve his territory.
Dark Prinny
I think Arte’s being selfish here. So what if Van gets rewarded more of Ferdinands land if he help them. He helps them anyway by providing dolls to her. Van was even the one who showed how to use her powers. So she wants Van to have lesser accomplishments? So that her family will get the credit? She is credit grabbing? Maybe she just wants to face slap her family using a borrowed sword? Her ego big now.
Dark Prinny
Umm. Isn’t Arte inside the castle? How is she controlling them. Can she control them while arguing with her mother? Do they have AI. Shouldn’t she be with the main body of reinforcements? Why did enemy allocate 10,000 units? I thought her force is small? No sense if her contingent is below 100 men. So many details that does not make any sense? Did she meet with kingdoms forces? Shouldn’t she retreat like how Van did? 10,000 is no joke. Is she bad at math? Did blood rush to her head? She risks Vans men and still wants to give credit to her family. Van deserves the reward and recognition why she so adamant taking it away? Unloyal? Where is her gratitude to van? It should be Vans flag that she should be flying.
Marc_Chat
No, the girl in the castle is 12 years old, and Arte’s big sister who is also unmarried which is why she’s still there.
Dark Prinny
This is unbelievable. 10,000 vs 2. Why not split off 9000 and get to the ballistas. Im sure they will run out of arrows. Also will get to the mage controlling the dolls. Trapping the 2 dolls with earth mages to slow it down. You can also lock down the dolls joints with spears or swords. How strong are these? Dolls also shouldn’t be good with swordplay since Arte is an amateur. Also im sure her mana output wont be able to keep up. The enemies should be well trained soldiers. Here they are like a ragtag of bandits. They should be capable of fighting 4 elemental mages. Why so weak? Arte should be retreating like what others recommend, she only borrowed these men from Van. Her ego now so inflated?
Dark Prinny
Why does he keep hitting trees. Can’t he just setup a stone wall as target? That should be more effective in showing penetration power. What if there are civilians in the forest? This is dumb..
Dark Prinny

He not wrong, just that Van was lucky to have a great subordinates and production magic that help greatly

Why is the mc showing everything to every investigator that came by, even if they can’t make an exact replica they will be able to counter if they know what it does
Loo Seng Loon
Looks like you never been audited before. Sometimes it is better not to hide, especially when it involves tax officers. (Even Joker in Batman series once stated he always paid his taxes to not mess with IRS.)
Potato
What are his advisors even doing, showing all this that could be classified as state secret and as if that wasn’t even he even showed them the production method. If he wasn’t the mc he would be assassinated even if not by greedy merchants or neighbouring countries when they can’t win him over, his own king would view him as dangerous and would have placed him under 24/7 surveillance especially so since he rejected the king offer, so in short he would already be dead
newbie
thanks!

Thanks for the chapter. ? I wonder when Vans engagement will be formally announced along with his “fathers” reaction to Van marrying one of his main competitors. I also wonder if the emperor will try to push one of his daughters if he has one into Van as well.

Well Van is still really short, his mom could be a dwarf, we don't know
Alice Axion
The word daddy is so sexualized these days, to the point where i cant read it and Not have it sounded weird in my head. Especially it coming from a guy
YurikaHime
I finally decided to just stick with how the MC actually call him because it’s funny… And yes in the raw the MC call him Daddy. In the older TL’s I find it weird to use Daddy because you know, when you hear Daddy nowadays you think of something else XD
Wraith
Every time Jalpa turns around, his “disgraceful” son is slapping him in the face by proving that he’s more valuable than both of his two favored sons put together.

Pretty much van just slapped them all around with his pecker and told them to like it or lump.it. but very politely

I’m sure that if Van had studied the microstructure of the steel in a katana in his previous life, he would be able to make a better one with his magic, and it would work as a model the dwarves could use. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem possible here.
Thank you for the chapters!

Thank you for the triple chapter! Looking forward to Van making every other noble flabbergasted by the competency of his production magic. I’m sure his brother would be as proud as he would be surprised.
Loo Seng Loon
And then Van made a doll called Star Platinum, which will follow behind Arte and go ORA ORA ORA ORA when fighting enemies.
Atamazy Tr?bka
I don’t know if anyone has written this before, but…. If Arte has the ability of a Puppet Master, and Van can make anything out of anything, then he can build golems out of metal, and she can control them. That way they would be unbeatable.
Atamazy Tr?bka
Van should make human-sized golems, and Arte should control them. In the future, she might master Puppet Magic to the point where she could control an entire army of knight-golems. They would be the nightmare of all the kings of this world.
Atamazy Tr?bka
[The Apkallu children, who were surprised by the Apkallu but had become
accustomed to humans, helped by creating a bathing area for the women.
“After that, you’re a former noble’s son, huh?”
I mutter and look at the former baron’s daughter.]
Is someone editing this? Does anyone even read it? Or is it just copy-paste into the translator and then copy-paste to the website? Give me directions to raw, then I can upload myself at DeepL.

Why doesn’t Van make a meat grinder and a hand mixer (no electricity). After all, that would push the kitchen to whole new levels! Though mayonnaise (probably the most famous sauce in isekami 😀 ) made thanks to a hand mixer. Besides, minced meat dishes, whipped cream and based on it light creams for cakes. And sponge cake. He could also make a similar hand blender for creamy soups. The possibilities are plentiful! We are only limited by our imagination.

The nerve to expect respect from the son he would've executed just for having a "worthless" magic. Like dude, your son has the respect of the king, you aren't even pond scum in his eyes.

Why does MC show his power to outsiders, especially a merchant who can easily go to another country to make a report? This is not a good move. These people come just for a sale and tax report. ?

He is trying to scare them into compliance because if they dare go against him, imagine weapons of mass destruction being distributed to shitty bastards. This is worst scenario for the commerce guild as Van is proposing death or peace.

Once again reaffirming the might of his personally produced weapons. I wonder if the king will commission him to make some more ballistae and ammo. To be owned by the army under the crown, instead of just loaned.

Do you take permission from author before translating novels? Is it legal? Did you stop translating because of notice from author? How do you make money, what’s the grey area in legality. How does novelupdate and these translations like yours works???
Tommy
The translator more than likely does not have permission from the author. Legality is a grey area if they aren’t making money off of it. There may be ad revenue from people visiting the site, but is that can you prove that that is for translating? If there is no copyright holder to tell the translator to stop translating then who can say they cannot translate the body of work. Copy right protection has to be acquired in the country the translator/site is based in. Hopefully this helps out a little bit.
This practice is not ethical, but a practice being not ethical does not make it illegal.

Definitely not edited fully (or not edited at all) since i can see Arte's pronouns become masculine instead of feminine. There are more parts where this happened, but that's the editor's and proofreader's job so I'll leave it to the team.

On a side note, deliberate destruction of equipment is different from finding a flaw in the equipment's design. The man who is desperate to regain credit and lower Van's prestige is an idiot beyond idiots. Never call him a parent.

Noooooooo, justo cuando se ponía interesante con el tema del padre envidioso tratando de hacer quedar mal al hijo??.
Fuera de eso, ese tema la verdad, el padre de Van esta en tremenda desventaja, ya el rey observo las cosas de Van, es obvio que sospechara que mágicamente sus refugios estén fallando o como minino afectará la marcha, los aventureros se irán y eso provocará que sus fuerzas sean atacadas por monstruos o el enegimo, trayendo perdidas y su reputación afectada al tener soldados incompetentes.
Wraith
His reputation is the least of his worries. If even a single soldier outs him to save their own neck, he could be charged with treason and executed or exiled.

Si, creo que ya leí lo que sigue, no pasa nada directamente con ese tema, surgen problemas y algunos roces, incluso intentan secuestrar al prota en una noche, al final termina en nada pero el porta demuestra sus construcciones y gana gran reputación junto a recompensas en esa invasión que dura mucho, incluso el padre comete el error de mandar a sus dos hijos incompetentes que dejan peor parado su casa debido a sus actos poco nobles en la guerra (huir).

Wraith
Van's got a point. He can show all the evidence and tell no lies, but if the king decides it's false, then nothing can make it true.
Wraith
What Van needs to do is make an arrangement with the Mary Chamber of Commerce, the Adventurers' Guild, and the Church. He should give the Church pamphlets for the recruitment of production magic users asking for disciples to relocate to Seat for training and employment offering to cover costs of travel and guards for the whole family if necessary, make a deal with the Mary Chamber of Commerce to provide carriages and supplies for the journey, and the Adventurers' Guild to provide guards. The Curch would hand out pamphlets to those who awaken production magic, and the pamphlet issued by the Church could act as a letter of recommendation/pass for the other two. When they arrive he can train them in his use of production magic, reducing his burden.
Others probably won't have his mana capacity, but they can be trained in one aspect of making his products. That would also assist in the spread of his products, by making sure no one person would be able to copy everything and take his business away. And training others would ensure that the village could survive after he's gone, whether because of death due to illness/old age/war/assassination, or in the case that the king gives him a mission that will last more than a month.
If your people would collapse without you to constantly take care of them, then you aren't very good at being a proper leader.

ChatGPT Translation of 152:
The Importance of Infrastructure
Water, electricity, gas, the internet, telephones—and roads. These are the essential lifelines of any city, forming the foundation of its infrastructure.
Imagine if the water system failed and clean water wasn’t available for an entire year. Sure, people could boil or filter water from rivers and ponds, but it would still have a massive impact on their lives and work.
The same applies to roads. Even if you had a fleet of fast-moving vehicles, they’d be completely useless without a proper road to drive on. Transporting goods, moving people—without functioning roads, the economy grinds to a halt. In extreme cases, even lives can be lost.
The situation is no different in this world, where cars don’t even exist.
Of course, all of that reasoning was just a cover for the real issue: my butt hurts.
“Keep it coming!”
“Yes, sir!”
Like a machine, I transformed the felled trees into wood blocks one after another. But unlike the brick-like blocks I’d made before, these were flat planks, perfectly shaped to fit the contours of the mountain path.
You could think of it like pouring concrete—except I was using a liquid form of wood to fill every bump and crevice. The planks bonded seamlessly with rocks and tree roots, ensuring they wouldn’t shift unless broken.
Now that I’d refined my magic enough to create wood blocks while practically asleep, I could build roads at a rate of one meter per second—as long as I had the materials.
“Whoa!”
“Don’t let Lord Van outpace us!”
“Cut faster! Faster!”
In front of me, the knights were in a frenzy, chopping down trees left and right. Cheers and shouts echoed through the forest as though this were some kind of competition. Not to be outdone, I ramped up my own pace, laying down the road even faster.
Before I knew it, three hours had flown by in a blur of chopping and paving.
“Okay, time for a dinner break!”
The moment I surrendered, the knights collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted.
THUD.
A deep rumble shook the earth as another massive tree fell.
“Hm? Is it that late already? The sun still looks high to me,” Dee commented, glancing up at the sky. Somehow, he was the only one still full of energy.
Just how tireless could one man be?
“Lord Van! Look over there!”
Tear rushed over, excitement in her voice as she pointed into the distance. I followed her gaze and spotted a row of makeshift outposts—modular, container-like structures I’d built previously.
“Oh, perfect! A place to rest!”
“Yes!”
Tear and I exchanged a victorious high-five before sprinting toward the nearest structure, the exhaustion from hours of work suddenly forgotten.
“This is great!”
I knocked on the sturdy walls and doors, inspecting my handiwork. Sure, I was shrimpy, so the outposts looked even bigger to me, but they were strong and spacious enough to host even royalty.
“It’s so well-made,” Tear said with a smile.
Camus, who had joined us, laughed. “Maybe this is why the march stopped—everyone’s been fighting over who gets to use these.”
“Ha! If that’s the case, I can’t even be mad.”
We all shared a laugh at the thought. Just then, Arte arrived with knights Arve and Rowe in tow.
“Shall we set up camp here?”
“Yeah, let’s add two more outposts while we’re at it. That way, everyone can get proper rest by rotating shifts.”
Arve and Rowe straightened up, hands over their chests.
“Yes, sir! We’ll begin immediately!”
With inexplicable excitement, the two exchanged glances and began whispering to each other before turning to the rest of the knights.
“First Squad under Arve! Don’t let Second Squad beat us—build quickly!”
“Second Squad under Rowe! Show them what our training has achieved! Let’s go!”
The knights roared in response and sprinted into action. Clearly, this wasn’t their first competition. In no time at all, the two squads were locked in a furious race to construct the outposts.
“Lord Van, the Arve outpost is ready!”
“No, no, this one’s far more comfortable!” Rowe countered as they both proudly stood in front of their respective structures.
I chuckled at their rivalry and pointed to the spare containers still loaded on the wagons.
“We can decide that later. For now, let’s build a few more outposts. The more people who can rest at once, the better.”
Hearing that, Arve and Rowe exchanged determined nods and raced off to build yet another set of structures.

Where is 151?

ChatGPT translation of 153:
Reunion
On the third day, we finally caught up with the tail end of the royal knights’ march. Despite our smaller numbers allowing for faster travel, it seemed the kingdom’s knights had made impressive progress as well.
“Oh, it’s the Van Baron Knights!”
“They’re moving in some unusual wagons, huh?”
At the rear of the column were knights from noble families I wasn’t familiar with. They murmured curiously about our equipment as we passed.
“Hello, hello!”
I waved cheerfully, passing them and heading further up the column. Before long, I spotted a familiar group—the Panamera Knights. The knights I recognized noticed me too and greeted me with respectful bows.
“Long time no see! Is Lady Panamera here?”
“Yes, sir! Ever since the march stopped, she has been at His Majesty’s side.”
“Got it! Thanks so much!”
I thanked them with a bright smile before continuing forward. Along the way, I made a point to greet as many knights as possible, spreading my usual charm. I could already imagine some of them clutching their chests, overcome by my adorable presence. Maybe I should prepare some souvenirs back in Seato Village—something branded with the “Van Seal of Quality.” They’d sell like hotcakes.
“Van Manju, Van Fried Bread, Van-made Madeleines… Hmm, what else?”
As I brainstormed, Tear raised her hand enthusiastically.
“Oh! How about bags? Leather bags with your charming smile engraved on them!”
Not to be outdone, Arte quickly chimed in with her suggestion.
“Y-Yes! Rings and necklaces—accessories would be nice!”
“Hm, I like your ideas. I’m not engraving my face on them, though,” I replied with a grin.
At this, Camus crossed his arms and began to hum thoughtfully, as if it were a game show.
“Well, we already have weapons and armor, so… Hmm…”
Watching Camus puzzle it out brought a smile to my face. It was oddly endearing.
Before long, a familiar banner caught my eye—the royal crest.
“Looks like we’ve finally caught up with the royal knights. Took longer than I expected.”
We approached cautiously, and soon I spotted several of my prefabricated outposts scattered across the area. At the largest outpost, a group of knights stood in formation—likely the royal guards.
“That must be the place. Hello! I’m Van Nei Fertio, from Seato Village!”
I called out brightly as I approached. The knights turned to face me in perfect unison, their movements crisp and disciplined.
“Ah, Baron Van! You’ve arrived sooner than we expected. Your speed is impressive.”
“It’s all thanks to the roads! I worked hard on them!”
“…Roads? My apologies—I’m not sure what you mean. I’ll report your arrival to His Majesty. Please wait here.”
One of the knights bowed and headed into the outpost. I pouted slightly. I’d hoped to brag about my road-building, but they’d see it soon enough on the return journey. My “Van Construction Co.” roads were fast, durable, and expertly crafted—I couldn’t wait to show them off.
As I daydreamed about my construction prowess, a crowd emerged from the outpost.
“Oh, there’s the boy!”
Leading the way was Lady Panamera, her golden hair and light armor as striking as ever. Her presence was as overwhelming as usual—what a woman. Behind her followed familiar faces: Ferdinant, Venturi, and finally His Majesty, accompanied by Daddy, Jarpa, who, for some reason, seemed intent on ignoring me. Odd.
I knelt on one knee, turning to His Majesty.
“Apologies for my delay, Your Majesty. Van Nei Fertio, at your service.”
I bowed my head respectfully, adopting a formal tone. His Majesty spread his arms wide, his voice booming with good humor.
“Well met! Truth be told, it wasn’t urgent enough to summon you in such a rush, but the trouble here has been dragging on. I hoped your insight might settle it quickly. Can you lend us your help?”
“Of course, Your Majesty. What exactly needs to be investigated?”
I kept my tone polite and measured, though I silently wished to resolve this as quickly as possible and head home. His Majesty sighed heavily, clearly troubled.
“Hmm. It seems there’s been a dispute between the knights and some adventurers. The cause, they claim, is a defect in the prefabricated outposts you built.”
“…Huh?”
I froze, completely dumbfounded. The outposts? Seriously?
Sure, I built them quickly, but I hadn’t cut any corners. In fact, they were probably more uniform and reliable than any ordinary buildings. There was no way they could be the problem—right?
My mind raced as I tried to piece together what could have gone wrong. Maybe the issue wasn’t with the outposts themselves but something surrounding them. Still, if it was my fault, I’d never live it down.
“I’ll investigate the issue immediately. Could someone show me the outpost in question?”
I bowed deeply, determined to get to the bottom of this.
