Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 56 — The Allure of a Mature Woman is Dangerous!
I followed the two hunters inside and arrived at the high-rise building that served as the headquarters of the「Valkyries of Restoration」.
Even at a glance, the ratio of women was overwhelming. Every hunter we passed was female.
So many women in one place… no wonder the whole building smells amazing.
I found myself thinking very teenage boy-like thoughts until the two stopped in front of an ornate set of massive doors.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Holy Mother. We have brought Matsubara-sama.”
(E/N: [聖母様] or Seibo-sama is what was used in raws for Holy Mother. The two Valkyries escorting Yuito actually reverently called out to the Holy Mother, the nuance similar to Her Majesty or precisely, Her Holiness.)
“Do come in.”
With permission granted, they slowly opened the doors. Sitting gracefully on a reception sofa, flanked by several B-rank-or-higher female hunters, was the woman in charge.
“Please, have a seat.”
I sat as invited, straightened my posture, and took a proper look at the woman before me.
She looked to be in her late twenties, elegant and composed, wrapped in a sacred priestess-like robe. Ever since I’d stepped into the room, I had been desperate, trying not to look directly at her… impressive chest.
Her robes strained to contain those generous curves — if the Hellblaze Empress had large breasts, then this woman’s were closer to… Colossal.
(E/N: Kyonyuu = Large breasts and Bakunyuu = Huge Breasts, but of course all of my readers, men and women of culture, already knew that, 😏)
A warmth that radiates motherliness. Holy Mother suits her perfectly.
“Nice to meet you, Matsubara-sama. I am Honoka Kikuchi. They call me the Sacred Matriarch, an S-rank hunter.”
“As I’m sure you already know, my name is Yuito Matsubara. I’m a B-rank hunter.”
“Now that introductions are done… I’ve heard from my subordinates. You turned down recruitment from the「Blaze Empress Brigade」, correct?”
“Yes.”
“May I ask why?”
“To be honest, the「Blaze Empress Brigade」wasn’t the only one I turned down. I refused the「King of Swords」as well.”
“I see…”
“The reason is simple. I risk my life to earn my rewards. Sharing that with a whole clan doesn’t appeal to me. I can handle everything on my own. I don’t see any need to join a clan and give up a portion of what I earn.”
“I understand. It does seem like there is little reason for you to join one. What about your recent progress?”
“I’ve already cleared two A-rank dungeons solo.”
The Holy Mother and the hunters beside her widened their eyes for a moment before quickly returning to a composed expression.
“That is wonderful. Many of us specialize in Holy Magic. We always welcome exceptional frontliners.”
“I see.”
“And regarding the earlier point — while money would indeed be shared, any weapons that drop from treasure chests would go entirely to you. No exceptions.”
“I understand.”
“Compared to other clans, the roles here are very clear. We are backliners. You would be our vanguard. Your fighting style would remain unchanged.
…
Any injuries or status ailments — we would heal them immediately. You would be perfectly safe with us.”
As she said this, she slid closer and pressed those enormous breasts right against my arm. Combined with her fragrance, my heartbeat completely lost its rhythm.
This is… a far more dangerous opponent than any A-rank dungeon boss.

E/N:
Indeed, she is dangerous! Just imagine a Japanese hen*ai mother with big mommy mi*kers! That's how I imagine Her Holiness, the Holy Mother!
On that note, if y'all like the Japanese tidbits I include in the chapters, do let me know! Stay tuned!

Me, on the other hand, on high alert for 'Green Tea' and 'White Lotus' trope/slang, for a two Colossal reasons. Maybe just paranoid.
ReplyDeleteColossal 😏 What about Pink Sakura 😂
DeleteI made a mistake not clarifying this slangs completely. This ones about manipulative characters who use theirs innocent looks for a advantages. Full names are 'GREEN TEA BITCH’ (绿茶婊) and' Fake White Lotus'.
DeleteNot sure what 'Pink Sakura' means, aside from the 'fake customers'. Airhead personality? A cheerful character (Cheery Pink)? If it about 'fake saint antagonists' having pink hairs it's mostly in 'Subverting Expectations' categories (subverting innocents?).
Sorry, sorry, I don't know about those slangs, Pink Sakura was just my dirty mind writing BS, orz! Maybe it's related to Chinese novels, I'm not well versed. 😅
