NT: I’ve… been thinking of starting to “translate” (if we can say that what i’m doing is translating these novels properly) “The God of Killing of Level 0“, the novel written by Koneko-sensei (the author of “The Villager of Level 999”) about which I talked to you some time ago.
Honestly, I thought someone would start translating it after the Light Novel came out, but… nothing.
I’m still not sure, taking into account how I do all this (“translating” i mean…)… also, Lv0 is a bit… special, I mean… it’s an extra. It was something that I began to translate to cover the empty space that remained some days when I could not finish the translation of the chapters of a novel whose chapters are particularly long (Din) and … although its chapters are not too long, it is something that I update a few times, I say, a chapter every 3 weeks from now…
But well, what do you think about? Have you read the novel? no? What if you start reading it now.
〘Didn’t you say last week that you would talk about the “Negligence Syndrome (Hemispatial neglect)” today?〙
〔I am not in the mood for that〕
〘But-…〙
〔I’m, not, in the mood〕
And those were me and my inner voice.
「Menou… How did my Master manage to dig here?」
「While using his skill, he took his shovel and began to spin like a drill. At that moment I held onto Kagami-dono’s waist, and from that moment I only saw that the world was going round and round 」
When he remembered that, 「Ugh」, Menou wrinkled his face as her covered his mouth with his hands. Seeing that, Rex frowned worriedly as he imagined what Menou must have been through.
「Anyway we have to try… I would like to try something」
Rex said as he swallowed his saliva, then, he took some air to calm down and returned to his normal state. Then, preparing for what was to come, he held his shovels tightly as he looked at the ground. At that moment, he began to dig quickly with all his strength, however, a few minutes later, he stopped completely after realizing that the speed at which the ground was regenerating was much higher than the speed at which the he was digging.
「Alright… let’s give up」
「Are you really going to give up so quickly after looking so motivated? Hey, where are you going!?」
After seeing that there was no progress, Rex came out of the hole he had dug and threw his shovel away from the place, however, he finally stopped and turned around after noticing Tina’s gaze.
「We can’t do anything! We still don’t have as much strength as my Master has when using Limit Release! Not even I, who have a status higher than average, managed to do something significant. If even I couldn’t do something, then it is best to simply give up」
「Maybe Takako-san can do it, she has the highest level among all of us after all, besides … Takako-san is also the one with the greatest strength and speed among all of us, isn’t she?」
Everyone turned to Takako after hearing Tina’s words. Then, Takako, who had been looking at the hole Rex had dug in silence, let out a sigh the moment he noticed everyone’s eyes.
「It’s useless. I had heard about this before, so I expected it, but from what I understand, Kagami-chan barely reached the bottom when he use Limit Release. … Maybe I can dig a little deeper than this, but I don’t think I’m able to continue doing it until I reaches the bottom. We have to think of another way to achieve it 」
「… To dig in this place, it is necessary to dig at a speed greater than the speed at which the ground regenerates. In other words, we can only find a way to dig at a speed that exceeds soil regeneration or try to launch an attack powerful enough to create a crater deep enough… At least, I think those are the only two options we have . But of course, it is impossible for everyone to achieve it alone」
「Except Kagami-chan…」
After that, David entered the hole that Rex had dug and took a lot of dirt in his hands as he thought of a way to overcome the situation they were in. Then, after thinking about it for a moment, 「*Fumu*《snort》」, he snorted with his nose satisfied, then went out to the hole and looked at Takako.
「If none of us can do it alone, then we simply have to join forces to break through」
「Join our forces… What do you have in mind, David?」
「For the past three years, everyone has been training hard to perfect your techniques or… learning powerful magic. What I say is that you should throw all these skills you learned against the ground」
It took some time to be able to launch some powerful magic or ability, and most likely the ground would regenerate before they could be used again. However, it is possible that they could prevent that from happening if each one threw his ability in the proper order, however, for some reason, Krull was showing a doubtful look at that idea.
「Certainly, if we could all launch our attacks in succession, then maybe we will achieve something … However, the most powerful magic I can use is an area magic, and if I want to use it, everyone should walk away so that I can aim inside the hole without running the risk of harming someone. Also, even if we manage to make a hole deep enough to reach the Dungeon, can you be sure that it will not close before we get into it?」
「It’s okay」
Takako said with her thumb up while slapping Krull on the shoulder in an attempt to make her feel less anxious.
「Everything will be fine as long as you let me be the last to use its ability. Of course, we will have to be very fast when jumping, however, I use my fists to attack, so we will not have to worry that I will cause any damage to the surroundings 」
「Certainly, such attacks will not damage the surroundings, but… I don’t think they are suitable for digging, Takako-san. Although of course, with your ability to ignore your opponent’s defensive abilities, it is possible that the earth does not seem different from a lot of jelly while digging, but still…」
「Eh? When I said that was my only skill?」
At that moment, Takako smiled and, 「AaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHH!」, began screaming with a serious look on her face as her body began to fill with power. The next instant, her muscles began to grow gradually as her body began to be enveloped by an orange aura similar to the aura that used to wrap people’s fists when they began to accumulate power in their fists to launch a charged blow.
「Ta-Takako-san… what kind of skill is that?」
「Hey? I’m not using any skills, I’m just strengthening my body a little, you know? Let’s say I’m charging myself with power 」
The moment they heard those words, everyone looked at Takako as she began to move further away from what was considered a 『Normal』 Human. At the same time, Rex and Krull, with drops of sweat falling from their forehead, muttering, 「I-I see」, and 「What is… this woman?」respectively, astonished by the mass of muscles she was becoming in front of them.
「Come on, come on, Everyone, get ready! If we work together… Then we can definitely reach Kagami-chan! Otherwise… It would have made no sense to come here!」
At the moment in which Takako let out those words of encouragement, while continuing to accumulate power, the eyes of everybody changed to more determined ones as they began to accumulate the magical power necessary to be able to use their Magic and Abilities.
