BG - Volume 9 Chapter 19: Tanaka Serves Takoyaki

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … 「Kraken Takoyaki!?」 「It certainly looked like an octopus, but…」 「I’m amazed he made takoyaki out of that」 「Kraken: “I ended up like this…“」 「Is it delicious?」 「What do you eat to get ideas like this lol?」 「Probably because he eats monsters」 「By the way, it actually looks delicious… lol」 「I’m hungry」 Comments about my cooking were greatly excited. During my corporate slave days, I couldn’t eat out much due to my low salary. So, dishes made from monsters were a feast for me. At first, there were mostly simple dishes like grilled or stewed food, but gradually I started making slightly more elaborate dishes. Takoyaki was one of them. “Yeah, it turned out well. Here, try some.” I drizzled sauce and mayonnaise over the piping hot takoyaki and handed it to Rin

BG - Volume 9 Chapter 18: Tanaka Cooks The Kraken

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … “Phew, what a great haul.” Successfully completing my dungeon fishing, I emerged from the water. Immediately, Rin approached me. “Sensei! Are you alright?” “Yeah. More importantly, look, I caught a lot.” I threw the harvested prey onto the ground. A Sea Serpent, a sea monster, and a Kraken. Both are rare and taste good. I’m glad I found such good prey. “Prey…? This is a Kraken, isn’t it! A monster with high combat power even among S-ranks, and few sightings… To defeat it alone…” 「Oh, is she put off?」 「Even Rin-chan is on that level of being put off, huh?」 「Well, if he took that down in such a short time…」 「Divorce crisis, lol」 「No, wait a minute」 “How strong he is… As expected of Sensei

BG - Volume 9 Chapter 17: Tanaka Goes Kraken Fishing

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … 「What is that monster!?」 「An octopus?」 「It’s too big…」 「Oh no, too scary」 「Oh, it’s a Kraken. That’s a pretty rare monster」 「Looks strong (small impression)」 「I can’t handle being in the water, it’s too scary… ugh」 「That size, it’s easily as tall as a building, right?」 「Hee, surely it’s impossible to fight that underwater?」 The Kraken is a monster that looks like a super-giant octopus. Its rank is ‘S’. Its strength is comparable to that of a Tyrant Dragon. But if you asked an adventurer whether they’d rather fight a Kraken or a Tyrant Dragon, most would choose the Tyrant Dragon

Announcement On Oracle Cafe

This is one of the first times I’m making an announcement post, and I have already said most of what I wanted to say in the TL note of the latest chapter, but I wanted to make a post to really talk about it. Welcome to the Oracle Cafe was a novel I started translating a while ago, looking for a second novel to translate. Despite me loving the premise of the series, That sentiment wasn’t really shared; maybe it was because releases were slower than when I originally started translating Black guild, or some other reason. This whole thing coincided with a very down period in my life, followed immediately by a very busy period(Engineering Majors amarite), and I couldn’t translate for a very very long time.

BG - Volume 9 Chapter 16: Tanaka Uses His Secret Move

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … I skillfully moved my fishing rod, putting the hook with the Dungeon Worm into the water. The bait was fresh, all that was left was to concentrate and wait for a bite. Monsters are highly cautious, so I’ll wait patiently. “Oh, I’ve already got one.” “Eh?” I was prepared for a long battle, but Dojima-san’s rod was already bending. This pull is quite strong. It seems something fairly large has hit. 「So fast」 「It’s that easy to catch, huh?」 「It’s pulling so hard lol」 「A normal person’s arm would probably
