“D- Don’t try to assault me or kill mom. If you do I’ll bite it off”

The misunderstanding progressed at an incredible rate.

Not to mention I don’t understand what she means by it.

Tongue? Down below?1

Although based on her words, I don’t think she’s talking about her own tongue.

Unsure of what to to with the frightened Maya-chan, who was for some reason glancing at my lower body, I take a sigh,

“Besides yare yare type guys aren’t popular nowadays, even in late night anime. The forums will be full of lmaos too”2

Now, even in a linguistic sense, I don’t understand her.

Even if cars aren’t flying, it seems language has evolved greatly.

“I’m not your enemy, so don’t bite your tongue ok”

“Not tongue, the thing I’ll bite off is your shabby something”

That kind of search ability….. The powers of modern day japan can’t be underestimated. I couldn’t detect any mana at all.

No, my thing isn’t shabby. ――Probably, definitely.

While trying to smile, I approach Maya-chan and touch her decayed katana. My automatic magic also scans enemy items, allowing me to draw out its data.

Its my first time seeing this kind of technique, but the fundamental theory is the same.

“Bishop, assimilate”

I pull a chess piece magic stone out and attempt to repair it by remaking the bits that have broken off and the spots where mana has been exhausted.

“Eh, impossible, it’s fixed?”

When my work finished, Maya-chan’s mouth was open wide.

“It’ll be fine like this I hope”

Bishop might have been a bit overkill, the shine from the katana was brighter than the scan data but if I don’t say anything it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Amazing….. could this be divine creation? The treasured tool’s spiritual rank has increased and it’s completely undamaged, as if newly made…..”

Maya-chan takes the sword into her hands and channels something like mana into her eyes.

At the same time, although weak, a technique similar to [Appraisal] and [Mind Reading] skills is activated.

Translator’s Notes:

1: In the original text Maya says below which is pronounced the same as tongue.

2: Yare yare types are a type of anime trope characterised by generally being unmotivated but competent when needed. Yare yare itself is an exclamation of annoyance or relief.

3: Dogeza is part of traditional japanese etiquette where one kneels on the ground and bows while touching their head to the ground.

4: I apologise for this mess of a sentence but I’m not the one that decided to write a triple negative
