Yagi really doesn't waste time showing us where he got his inspiration from.

"Unknown world"

-Lacile and Leana set up camp and it's revealed that much like the normal energy of the human body, Lacile's photon energy is restored after eating and sleeping.

-on the back of the Holhol, the two scale a mountain and Leana is amazed by the animal's ability to jump from one cliff to another. Lacile tells her that there's no place the Holhol can't handle, from deserts to snowy mountains.

-grandpa, who was a soldier by nature, mostly packed weapons that utilize photon energy, similar to the gloves and the boots. The food they have is only for two-three days, and Lacile decides to get rid of the weapons to make room for more food in their bags when they resupply. Leana warns him that he might regret it, but he says that his gloves will be enough. They are not accurate like guns, but they can handle distant targets.

-Leana excuses herself for a moment, and while she was gone, a frightening man with scars appears and thinks Lacile is someone he knows. When it turns out he wasn't who he thought, he slams his head down and renders him unconscious. When Lacile comes to, Leana, who thought Lacile was just asleep, was eating lunch without a care in the world. It turns out the mysterious man wasn't someone from Ariadne that she knows. If Ariadne is going to send someone after them, it's going to be the royal guards who are young by comparison.

-they continue their journey, and rather than being frustrated, Lacile is amazed that there were strong people like that man who can defaet him with one hit. He thought this world was a big place and was excited for what new things they are going to discover. The next chapter is going to cover the first town in their joirney.

So who will now scanlate the series as BATO is going down.

 

[Number A]

Wait, what??! I was just starting to get into it! Maybe Mangastream will pick it up? They translated Claymore and the one-shot after all. I wonder how one contacts them about such things.

 

[Sir Isley]

They need a place to host their scans. I hope MS doesn't get it honestly.

 

[Demonspeed]

Well, chapter 4 is out.

And they said they will host the following chapters on Helvetica scans.

Ch 5 spoilers:

-according to Lacile, the first town they arrive at is filled with illegal stuff (weapons, food...etc) you don't find in the towns that are near his house in the mountains.

-Leana bumps into a man with horns who's twice her size. She's shocked by his characteristics that you don't find in Ariadne or any of the flyng cities. Lacile identifies him as a member of the Shiu tribe, which is one of the thirteen human tribes that's known for their unmatched strength. Their stregth enables them to handle manual labor in mines. She asks him excitedly about the other tribes, and he mentions the Zune tribe, but they are nocturnal and she won't see them around here now.

-Before Lacile is off to buy food, he tells Leana to stay right there and not wander off. When he's gone, little kids with cat-like ears on their heads surrounds her and kidnap her. She's excited rather than frightened. Lacile spots her in the distance and when he's about to go after her, he's stopped by the shopkeepr who wants his payment. The Zune tribe is known for being the smallest and the fastest of the thirteen tribes, but he eventually manages to catch up to them, thanks to his boots. The chapter ends with him engaging in a fight with them. The next chapter is a battle of speed.

Oh look! It's Cassandra's relatives!

 

[Leroid]

Lol@ That guy hanging over that sign. How did he end up there? Is he dead or drunk?

 

[Doughboy]

Chapter 5.

Star Wars Episode 3 vibes all day long...

 

[Demonspeed]

Leana is lovely .

I guess the Zunes have been hired by Ariadne.

 

[Arjuna]

Lacile's riding is excellent.More world building We got to know more about different races living in this world.

Leans is too cute

 

[Number A]

Lol@ That guy hanging over that sign. How did he end up there? Is he dead or drunk?

What? Where?

 

[Haya-san]

What? Where?

It's in page 6 when they first enter the city, just right before Leana bumps into the man with the horns.

So, this is my undersatnding of the story so far:

-There was a war that ended some years ago and Lacile is a human weapon and the last survivor of his family and squad. It's possible there are other survivors he doesn't know of and that his past will come back to haunt him.

-the flying cities probably had nothing to do with the previous war or else, their existense wouldn't have been treated as a myth. So far, it seems the flying cities don't meddle with the lower world.

-it sounds like that for now, the story is going to revolve around Lacile and Leana exploring the world and meeting the other races, but I'm sure it's going to evolve into something bigger that involves the other flyng cities. Ariadne is the smallest of the flying cities and Leana's engagement could be an attempt to strengthen its position.

 

[Doughboy]

So what are they traveling for besides wanting to see the world? That’s what I’m confused on. To duck away from people who are trying capture Leana? Everything else has been great and easy to comprehend.

Yes, it's for fun. What else? The have been dreaming of this since forever. They will have other goals while traveling I am sure.

Ch 6 spoilers:

Spoiler

-the chapter opens with a hooded figure wearing metal boots watching Lacile among the crowd. When it seems that the fight is going to drag out, the hooded figure tosses away their hood and jumps up in the sky from one building to another, and when Lacile turns around, he gets kicked by a girl who he identifies as another photon carrier.

-Another hooded figure sighs that he warned her not to use her powers that will make her stand out in the city. Next, the Zune people arrive with Leana, who recognizes the other hooded figure and calls him Reeve(?). She says she expected the royal guards to be sent after her, but she didn't imagine that their leader would come for her himself. He tells her that she's gone too far with her prank, and Leana counters that everything she did wasn't a prank. The Zune ask for their payment and complain that he didn't tell them that her companion was so strong. They demand an extra amount for their troubles. Before they leave, they tell Leana that they have nothing against her, it's just that 'being moved' by money and living in the dark is their way of doing things. If they all survive and meet again, and if she's willing to pay them, they would offer her their services. Leana goes into fangirl mode and thinks that despite their appearance, the Zune people are hardboiled. The leader of the royal guards asks her again if this really isn't a game to her, what was her reason for breaking the taboo that no inhabitant of the flying city must set foot on earth.

-back to Lacile, who crashes into a building after getting kicked by the photon carrier. The girl, who's floating upside-down, tells him that it's time for him to die.

Oh look, it's Rigaldo! Nice to see him again. Also, it seems we've encountered the first badass warrior woman~! It's not a Yagi manga without badass warrior woman.

Also Leana is clearly another Ikuno Shirataki incarnation - as was Clare. It took Clare a few volumes to differentiate herself from her progenitor, it'll be interesting to see who Leana is once she's done the same.

Ch 7 spoilers:

Spoiler

-Leana explains to the leader that the reason why she escaped was to see the things that don't exists in the floating city and to meet the other races before her marriage. To Leana's surprise, rather than empathizing with her, he tells her that he's going to spank her 200 times (as punishment for breaking the taboo).

-Lacile watches how the boots that the girl is wearing are enabling her to pounce off buildngs and objects, and while he's confused by his inability to block her punches, a voice behind him startles him. It belongs to the owner of the shop that they crashed into. The shopkeeper notices the boots that the girl is wearing and shows interest in buying them, and Lacile yells at him that this isn't the time for that. At that moment, Lacile manages to block her kick with his boot and kicks her away, saying something along the lines of that his boots aren't going to lose to hers. With nothing now around her that she can pounce off of, he was certain there was nothing she could do, but the other royal guards appear out of nowhere and he neraly escapes their attacks.

-The leader then steps in with Leana hauled over his shoulder, the latter mumbling in pain that she was spanked 200 times. As he lets go of her, the leader clarifies that by the 20th spank, he couldn't bring himself to continuing and stopped. Lacile misunderstands that gesture that Leana is now able to continue her journey, but the leader declares that the princess is going back with them and that they are going to eliminate any obstacles in their way. Lacile recalls the time when Leana appointed him knight of the blue sky and rather than addressing her by her first name, he calls her 'princess', urging her to command him. After being surprised by his words, Leana, with a smile on her face, orders him to protect her from them.
