35. Third Go! (7)
The lady who quietly came in was as beautiful as an angel.
Pinkish gold hair. Transparent blue eyes. Graceful, bow-shaped eyebrows. A petite nose. Lastly, small, well-formed lips.
Ally was bowing slightly, in addition, there was also the fact that Maximilian was tall. Therefore, she couldn’t bear witness to the otherworldly beauty.
Well, indeed, she doesn’t belong in this world. Long time no see, Mia. You haven’t changed at all—in a sense, I am touched.
Behind the tea wagon, she bowed like a proper maid, despite so, there was a burning flame in Ally’s heart.
Her slender body unleashed an elegant movement, giving a polite greeting that was proper of a lady.
“A pleasure, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I am honored to be able to meet you. My name is Mia, the adoptive daughter of Jasper Haven.”
“Welcome, Lady Mia. I didn’t know that Jasper had adopted a daughter. It’s considered to be a miracle for you to be able to use healing spell.”
Mia slowly raised her head. Her slightly flushed cheeks, that pure maiden-like bashful expression, changed to the expression of that bitch for a moment when she caught sight of Maximilian.
“As of the moment, she is thinking, ‘What, he looks so different from what I’ve heard.’ And is being optimistic about it— ‘Well, as long as he is handsome, all is right with the world.’”
“Amazing, Abel! You can live broadcast the voice of someone’s heart!”
“She seems to also harbor a strange confidence that there are no enemies in sight—which explains why her heart isn’t really guarded. It might be a temporary situation.”
The light was twinkling around Mia.
Ally didn’t have a light element, so the spirits’ appearances were hazy, but she was positive those were Mia’s guardian angels.
“Your Highness, Mia is a very beautiful lady! She’s also able to use the rare healing ability infinitely, even the first generation can’t hold a candle to that! Haha, you needn’t narrow your eyes so! I can see that you’re bedazzled by Mia’s beauty, which embodies the dream of man. Truly, what a heavenly girl she is!”
“No way, Stepfather, your words are making me blush…”
Mia deliberately wriggled herself.
Ally spat under her breath—“Geh!”
After all, that woman was a ‘burikko’[1]—Ally cursed her entire being.
Mia was the type whom was disliked most by women, but was most adored by men.
“Well, if you said that she’s beautiful, then she might be so… it seems that she has some talent, perhaps it would be a good idea to put her in the Magic Research Institute.”
Maximilian glanced at Mia while answering with a tone that clearly expressed, ‘I am agreeing to you out of courtesy’. Towards his simplicity, again, the face of that bitch appeared on Mia.
Looking into the eyes of her stepfather, Jasper, Mia nodded, before leaning slightly to stare at Maximilian’s eyes.
She—she’s probably wondering why her fascination magic isn’t working!
Ally screamed in her brain, to which Abel responded in a laidback tone.
“Bingo, you’re correct. Did you notice the odd color in the center of Earl Haven’s eyes? It’s a hollow, pool of darkness. That’s the indication that someone is bewitched. Apparently, it doesn’t work for the current Crown Prince. His ‘muscle armor’ seems to be active.”
Mia tried to charm him again, and repeatedly blinked in high-speed, as if impatient.
I see, she can charm someone with just one look.
While making a new discovery, Ally brightly stared at Maximilian.
“Well, since you’ve come all the way here, please enjoy some tea. Ally, that table—”
“Y, Your Highness! Actually, Mia isn’t only capable of healing, you see! C, can you believe it, Mia is a messenger of God who fell from another world!!”
“What?”
Maximilian, whom was about to move to the table along with the four muscle devas, looked back as if he was surprised by the words of Earl Haven.
Mia smiled, as if saying, “Finally!” but Maximilian’s next turn of action went against Mia’s expectations.
“All the spirits, listen to me! I want a barrier! Earth, water, wind fire—catch that girl!”
Due to the begging of their cute grandchild, the legendary grandma spirits immediately executed the magic despite the short chant.
Mia’s face froze as she went, “Eh?”
By that point, her body was already surrounded within a circular barrier. Meanwhile, Earl of Haven was also surrounded.
“Chris! Call the medic immediately! I am going to bring those two to the clinic right away!”
“Understood!”
The genius Chris read the situation and didn’t use “OSU” to reply. He then conjured wind magic to call for a medic. Whether or not the voice was transmitted immediately, the other side of the corridor became noisy.
“Y, Your Highness, what is the meaning of this—”
Earl Haven knocked on the transparent barrier. Mia was sitting in a daze.
“Jasper, you’ve let your guard down. The only reason I welcomed her was because I thought she was your family. If this girl truly came from another world, then why would you easily bring her to the presence of the Crown Prince? She’s too obscure!”
“Well said.”
Takkun muttered.
Certainly, Mia could be considered an outsider—no one had any idea what kind of impact she would have on their world. However, to think from the perspective of national defense, or to have her quarantined—such were rendered useless because she could charm anyone with one look.
Ally was stunned, and stared at Maximilian.
In this tenth life of hers, he was too princely, alright! Except, his muscles were also too insane.
She felt her heart rejuvenated.
She could taste a heartfelt satisfaction at seeing the current state of Saint Mia. Ally unconsciously put her hands on her chest and enjoyed the numbing sensation that penetrated her entire body—

**E/N: Burikko… I keep reading it as burrito
***T/N: OK LADIES AND GENTS, CATCH THE THO–OOF, MAXIMILIAN BEAT ME AT DOING MY THOT-HUNTING JOB!!!!! HE STOLE OUR KILL!
That is really unexpected development, Muscle Armor is awesome!
Did the gorillas just become thot hunters? Damn I think I like them. (Abel is still best boy, though)
She’s covid 2.0….social distancing?…isolation? Lockdown? …. Yaaaass
nice
Commander!!!!! Everything happened so fast I was shookt!!!!!! But we cannot let our guard down!!!!!! This is an otherwordly THOT we are dealing with!!!
BTW, I have been noticing this for a while now……just how did Takkun and my ML candidate Abel become a color commentator????
cant go to chapter 36
I noticed it in past chapters too while I was binge reading this, but you keep putting “bare” when it should be “bear”. People “bear witness” to things.
Other than that, thanks so much for the translations! I really enjoy this series!
Must be typo.
Thank you for your hard work <3
Thanks for the update and all the hard work you put into your translations! It’s very much appreciated.
Thank for the update
Damn he caught wind of that stink IMMEDIATELY
HYPER VIGILANCE
I doubt we’re outta the woods yet, THOT Patrol
I can’t believe it… Of all the things that could have warned the Muscle Overlord of the dangers of the thot, the one that did it was COMMON SENSE!? What the hell?! Even IRL I’ve never seen it so well employed!
After reppeatedly slaughtered by people from otherworld, finally common sense-chan can strike them back…!!!!
I am so proud of our muscle boys, I’m shedding tears
Isn’t Ally theoretically too obscure as well?(Even if she’s not from another world obscure, she is technically a random nobody. She also wouldn’t (shouldn’t) pass a security check in our world since her brother is an easy opportunity for blackmail.
Hopefully they have better logic next chapter than what they’ve presented, since trying to do this to a standard isekai protag is how you get your kingdom burned to the ground. They’re pretty lucky that she’s “just” a horny teenager.
Not really. Power wise sure, she is coming out of left field with that, but it is still grounded in the fact that the prince and entourage all have similar power for similar reasons.
Ally herself is the daughter of a backwoods noble that got hired to make money for said backwoods noble house. In her case it was assumed, being backwoods and all, she would also be incompetent and get her charge killed, minor clean up and boom (in fact that is probably how it went 1-9). She just surprised everyone by being hyper competent and doing the exact opposite of the reason they hired her, but that also makes her worth keeping around. Maybe because she also became the hidden boss of the Prince party. Everything about her has been researched before hand, relatively throughly too, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Prince himself was actually aware somewhat of her family side from the reports too, they wouldn’t be that hard to get.
Mia is completely, 100%, unknown. What she can do, what she is like, any records, nada. Except for the fact she appears to have strong healing magic (so strong regular magic too more than likely) and appears to have angels backing her.
Thanks for the chapter…
That….that’s the fruit of his training….the muscle…power?
Eh. I’m gonna have to disagree there. your argument ended up reminding me of even more reasons why Ally is suspicious. She’s a backwoods noble that somehow has an extensive education in all things including the proper application of magic? “Immune” to the deadly fighting spirit of the Muscle quartet? All of this inexplicably without any trail of how she got it that is 100% impossible to verify no matter how hard anyone investigates? Ally should be setting off red flags left and right. I’m assuming that this is pre industrial age, so even if there is some record keeping, it’s far too easily forged or evaded to trust.
Ally wasn’t supposed to accidentally kill the princess, at best she was the scapegoat for when she finally dies of neglect or assassination.
Mia might be completely unknown, but at the same time she also doesn’t have multiple confirmed facts that makes her look like a (foreign/traitorous?)spy or agent seeking to sow political upheaval or chaos among the factions of the royal families possibly via creating a puppet monarch through either the princess or her brother.
But but, how about the fact that her father is a scholar and theres also a magic book for kindergarteners???
Let me give you an anology. Let’s say I am going to hire a maid…..I have 2 applicants, A and B. According to A’s birth records, A was born and raised in the same country as me. Also, A seems to be from a poor background but was extremely competent. Meanwhile B don’t even have any records and no one knows anything about her. Even if A sounds dubious I would still trust A and hire A more than B because I could at least have their records as a lead if I need to investigate A. Aside from that, I could ask people who have met A about what kind of person A is… At least I have some sort of proof that A is a real person who existed in the same country as me and has lived in the same country as me for a long time unlike B who is completely unknown and even if I want to ask someone about her I cannot find that someone cause I have no leads for investigating her.
Great job THOT PATROL! Phase 1 complete! But remain vigilant! The enemy could turn things around at any time…
Our kill was stolen!!! Lol.
So how will the muscles stop her charm magic from charming everyone else? Also, is Ally immune to her charm magic too?
Theres never a mention of a girl being charmed in her previous lives…. Maybe it only works on guy? Or maybe mia doesnt see any point in charming a girl
Thanks for the chapter…
That….that’s the fruit of his training….the muscle…power?
