Harem Dynast Part 2: Chapter 5 - A Roughly Fallen Flower

“The castle gate…the castle gate was breached. The enemy is inside the city.”

That cry of despair reached the Clanarian soldiers’ ears and their morale was shattered.

The flames rising from the waterway wriggled and coiled like countless serpents as they burnt through the city. Vortexes of black smoke ascended and blotted out the sky while the scarlet and golden flames reflected off of armor and blades. The bizarre beauty of the scene sent tremors down the spines of all who saw it.

Within that, Burns, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture in the waterway, shattered the ice clinging to his body and finally advanced onto land.

“Hell yeah!!! That kiss from Lady Dominic is mine!!!”

The Clanarian soldiers shuddered when they saw his courageous form. From thenceforth, he was known as the Demon Beast of Domos and his name would never be forgotten.

“Curse them!”

Fresh blood dripped from Virginia’s fist after she punched a stone wall. She was a genius at using magic and she had plenty of ambition as a commander, but she was still an amateur when it came to war.

“Princess, we cannot hold this position. We should fall back to the palace.”

Erogenous Beauty Salon by Succubus Girls: Chapter 1 - Beauty Treatment to Develop a Man’s Popularity



Character Introduction:

Sakuma Karen: Beautiful esthetician of the beauty salon MONM. A sensual appearance and an affectionate smile. This time, she tried speaking to Kazuki.

Sakuma Rumina: An esthetician just like Karen, but a trainee. Innocently approaches Kazuki and has a deep relationship with Karen.

Sudou Juri: The protagonist’s childhood friend. People thought they were a couple, but…

Koshigaya Kazuki: Confessed to Juri and was shot down. Afterwards, his powerful sex drive is giving him trouble.

Claudia: Daughter of MONM’s owner. An alraune girl with giant tits & tentacles.




“Oh, my. That really happened to you? …You poor thing. I know how you must feel, Koshigaya Kazuki-san.”

The black-haired woman who said that looked to Kazuki with sympathy in her eyes and a soothingly soft smile on her lips.

(Why am I in here telling this person about that?)

“Here” was a large café built in the prime real estate near the train station.

“That” was being rejected by the childhood friend he had known for a long time.

And “this person” was a young woman he had met so recently he did not know her name.

(Actually, I do know her name…)

He glanced down at the business card she had placed on the table for him earlier. That provided her name.

(Sakuma Karen-san…age unknown.)

That said, she looked to be in her mid-twenties at absolute oldest. With the aroma wafting toward him, he might have accepted that she was in her thirties, but with the youthful skin visible below her thinly-applied makeup, she could have passed for a teenager.

(I guess that comes with the job… She is an esthetician after all.)

Novel Introduction: Erogenous Beauty Salon by Succubus Girls

There's still an Adolescent Adam short story to translate, but I felt like translating a one shot first (although this actually has a sequel):

Erogenous Beauty Salon by Succubus Girls: I Started the Milking Course (性感淫魔エステ 搾精コースはじめました)



Author: Takaoka Chikara (高岡智空)
Illustrator: Kusakami Akira (草上明)
Label: 2D Dream Bunko (二次元ドリーム文庫)


The premise is pretty simple: The MC finds himself at a beauty salon that acts as a front for succubi to gather semen as food to send back to their world and it turns out that the MC's high libido and special cum might be able to save the succubus world from decline.

Table of Contents:

Also, I might as well start translating the author and illustrator's comments from the cover flap:

Takaoka Chikara: The heroines drawn by Kusakami-sensei are way too cute and sexy. I had to move and all sorts of work piled up, so I’ve had to hole up doing nothing but work for a while. Without those illustrations, I might have run out of energy, so thank you very much!

Kusakami Akira: Which would you rather have teasing you, a kind young woman or a bratty little girl? It’s a hard choice, isn’t it? I just spent 2 hours thinking about it. I’m so jealous of the protagonist who gets to experience both at once.
Ahh, I want someone to tease my weary body…

Adolescent Adam 7: Afterword

Hello. Eh? It’s been 3 years and 9 months since Volume 6!? This is Sakaki Kasa.

Yeah, sorry about the wait. This one was really late, but I somehow managed to get Adolescent Adam Volume 7 released.

You might wonder what I’ve been doing for the past 3 years, but I haven’t just been goofing off. I’ve had a lot of jobs writing game scenarios lately. So you might think I’ve been cheating on you with the game industry, but that only happened because of an offer to turn Adam into a game.

But it turns out this series doesn’t work very well as a game, so over the past 3 years, 3 different projects (for an all-time total of 4) have fallen though. The manga adaptation is going well, so Volume 2 of the Adam manga (drawn by Amagi-san who does the novel illustrations) is going on sale at the same time as his. Make sure to buy that too!

Now that the advertisement is out of the way…Amagai-san, thank you for more wonderful illustrations. I’m relying on you for the other jobs as well. And I’ve been causing trouble for my editor T-san again.

Now, let’s hope you can see the next one faster than that. I’ll do my best.



[Translator’s Note: Volume 7 came out in early 2015 and there is still no sign of Volume 8 here at the beginning of 2018. The most recent mention of it was in the afterword of a different novel released in early 2017 where the author said he had Volume 8 halfway written, so we’ll see what happens.]

Adolescent Adam 7: Chapter 9 - Stay Away

When I, Kurikara Saya, woke up, it was the evening after the cultural festival.

A helicopter had apparently crashed and I was apparently directly below it, so everyone said it was a miracle I only got some scrapes on my legs.

But my mind was cloudy and I couldn’t remember what kind of accident it was.

I kind of remembered a helicopter appearing in front of me, but the picture in my mind was shaped differently from the wreckage I was shown. And I also remembered hearing a really loud noise that didn’t sound like a crash. It was more like gunfire.

Adolescent Adam 7: Chapter 8 - Lilith’s Plot

“Uuh…”

Mutsuki awoke in darkness.

He was on a bed…he thought. It was soft and comfortable, but it was not his usual one. When he realized that, he looked around the area.

There was no light, but he was oddly able to make out the outlines of things. It was probably daytime but with the lights off. There were a few heaters and small lamps around the large bed.

It seemed to be a bedroom. There were lace curtains on the window.

When he saw the solid-looking bars beyond that, he rapidly woke up.

He tried to get up, but found his hands were handcuffed to the bedposts and he could not move.

(Wh-where am I? I’m trapped in here…aren’t I?)

Adolescent Adam 7: Chapter 7 - Over Heat

That was a painful mistake. Machina regretted allowing the enemy to get so close.

The reason why was obvious: She had been holding hands with Fujita Mutsuki.

Her mind had gone blank and she had failed to keep tabs on her surroundings. She could not believe she had overlooked such a large enemy.

The attack was made by an AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter. There was no one in the cockpit, so it had been made into a Springloaded. She could tell that much, but…

“Eek…”

She had thought the Gatling gun was targeting Fujita Mutsuki, but it turned toward the surrounding customers and waitresses who were unrelated to any of this.

This was an indiscriminate attack.

“Summon hard carbon. Forcibly inject the target with the all-range anti-lithography code.”

Golden threads left her hand and just barely reached the gun in time. Bullets were launched from the flame-spewing machineguns, but their direction was smoothly changed by the solid threads and they only punched holes in the ground.

The heated wind pushed at them and the ground shook as it was turned to Swiss cheese, so Saya and the others fell onto their butts. But luckily, no one was hit by a bullet.

Adolescent Adam 7: Chapter 6 - The Curtain Rises

It was the day of the cultural festival.

Megutono Academy included an elementary, middle, and high school, so events like this always had tons of participants.

They were blessed with nice weather and the school was filled with students and visitors hoping to enjoy the day.

The helicopter in the sky may have been for publicity purposes. That was how busy it was.

Working your way through the waves of people could be difficult.

“Gwohhhhh, Mutsuki! Mutsuki, I’m gonna be crushed! Get the takoyaki to safety!”

“Yes, yes.”

“Okay, okay. Good job, Private Mutsuki-kun! Next up is the crepes by the third years. I hear they’re good.”

“R-right. Yes, sir.”

Of course, it was primarily the students enjoying themselves.

Mutsuki had been busy visiting stands all morning since Sakae and Saya had dragged him around.

“Ah! They’re selling cotton candy over there…and it’s cheap!”

“Wait, Miss Round and Jiggly! Cotton candy is as voluminous as you. Try to walk around with it in this crowd…and you’ll be in trouble!”

“I- I see. It would be painful to lose my mobility here… Not bad, Tomono-kun.”

“Heh. I’m Tomono Sakae, the man with an observant eye. Predicting a friend’s future is a simple task.”

“For once, your big mouth was actually useful. But.”

“Hm?

“Who are you calling round and jiggly!?”

Their usual routine was even more energetic than usual.

Adolescent Adam 7: Chapter 5 - Etcetera Leading To a Kiss

“Ahhhhhh!”

Ange had arrived below the parking lot for the SeeDWalK shopping mall.

Technically, she was at a secret facility Machina had made in the space below the parking lot. At this hour, the large facility was closed, so no one was there and it was safe to shout loudly underground.

A space of nearly 50 square meters had been hollowed out 18 meters belowground. Ange had started using it as a training ground.

The tungsten walls were lined with superconductive material and were magnetically controlled, so the room could survive temperatures of several million degrees for a short period. She never could have come by something like this without FeTUS’s assistance.

Metatron’s firepower normally came at the cost of burning away her own life, but Adam’s command had carved the inability to kill herself into the core of her being. So she had recently started taking advantage of that by trying to control the firepower on a level just barely below the bursting point.

Metatron’s flames possessed the same traits as normal flames, so they were more difficult to control than an angel’s flames that only burned her enemies. That meant she needed a facility that kept the flames from spreading even when she was only training.

“Hahh!”
