Soul Devourer Volume/Chapter 2 — S-Rank Slayer • Ominous Signs || Episode 1 — Official Announcement and Smoldering Malice

Editor:
The Hunter's Guild Guildmaster — Tadaaki Ogawa — announced domestically and internationally that the fifth S-Rank Hunter in the country had been born.

Moreover, the announcement shocked everyone: the hunter in question was an 18-year-old youth who had solo-cleared an S-rank dungeon.

“An 18-year-old S-Rank Hunter… a young man who just graduated high school already has wealth, fame, and power, huh…”


“I’m jealous! He can sleep with gorgeous actresses and cute idols all he wants!”


“We get up early, work until the last train, do unpaid overtime, and barely make ends meet… Maybe I should aim to become a Hunter.”


“Dreams are good, but without talent you’ll just die and become monster food in no time…”


“…Alright, back to work!”


“Yeah!”

(E/N: 🤣 Was that just alcoholic passion?!)

»POV: High school girls on their lunch break«


“Hey, that new S-Rank Hunter is about our age, right? He’s not exactly flashy, but he’s rich — I want to marry him.”


“Same here! Imagine never having to work again and just playing your whole life. Oh please, gods, let me meet him~”


“He gives, like, totes introvert vibes~ If you let him feel your chest or your butt, he’d probably fall for you, right?”


“Maybe~! But there’s no way we can meet him that easily.”


“Don’t kill the vibe with reality!”

———

While each person had their own reaction to the birth of the new S-Rank Hunter, of course the other S-Rank Hunters were also surprised by the announcement.

But what surprised them most wasn’t that a new S-Rank Hunter had appeared — it was that the dungeon had been soloed.

They already knew from the troll stampede incident that Matsubara had strength comparable to S-Rank, but nobody believed he could solo an S-rank dungeon.

Obviously, they were the ones repeatedly attempting to clear S-rank dungeons and knew better than anyone how difficult they were.

As the three of them resolved to keep an eye on his movements, there was one person who felt a burning hatred and envy.

(E/N: In case you didn't get who the "three" is referring to, they are the clans, 「King of Swords」,「Valkyries of Restoration」,and「Blaze Empress Brigade」. Rest, iykyk 😏)

“Solo-cleared an S-rank dungeon… Are you kidding me!?”


He slammed his fist down on his desk in fury, splitting it in two.


“There’s no one who could clear that dungeon before me — the greatest S-Rank Hunter! That geezer guildmaster has been duped by that brat’s lies! Damn it!”


“I agree with the master. To prove the master right, we should capture that brat and make him confess.”


“Yeah. If we rough him up a bit, he’ll confess right away. Then we’ll post the video for the whole world to see — everyone’ll change their minds. He’ll be exposed as a liar and a fraud!”


“And just in case, we should prepare insurance.”


“Yeah, do it. Ha ha ha — this is getting interesting!”

E/N:

Yup, saw this coming~ Of course he'll get underestimated… I feel bad now, for Japan will be losing an S-Rank Hunter just after gaining one 😂! Poor bastard!

Stay tuned!

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
