Overlord Volume 9 Intermission


(Re)Translated by Nigel

Edited/Proofread by Deus Ex Machina
A young girl sat on the only chair ─ a throne ─ in a small yet luxurious room. Her voice was adorable and innocent, perfectly matching her age.

“Okie! I’ll let you handle it!”

“Yes! Leave it to me, your Majesty!”

The man who was kneeling to the girl resembled a knight. He rose, then strode stylishly from the room.

The door closed, and after several seconds, the girl turned to the minister standing beside her.

“Is it okay now?”

“Yes. He was the last one, so it should be fine.”

After hearing the man’s cool voice, the innocent expression the girl was making collapsed.

It was like she was throwing a tantrum.

Perhaps it was fatigue, but her eyes were half-lidded with cloudiness, her lips were formed into a へ shape, and her shoulders were rounded.

“So tired…”

Her attitude did not resemble a child so much as a beleaguered woman in her 40s. However, the pitch of her voice still sounded very young; it was as though she had retained the same external appearance, but she had completely changed inside.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I’m seriously tired here. I’ve had enough of meeting people while looking like this.” She lifted the hem of her skirt. “Who the hell thought up these clothes which bare the entire leg, anyway?”

“Once more, I must repeat that you cannot, your Majesty.”

This girl was the Queen of the Draconic Kingdom, the Black Scale Dragon Lord, Draudiron Oriuclus.

She had the title of Dragon Lord, but her combat power was only that of a regular person. While the Theocracy classified her as a true Dragon Lord, that was simply due to her inborn talents, and so some people used the very rare title of True False Dragon Lord to describe her.

That was because the quality which determined her truth or falsehood was whether or not she could use Wild Magic.

“It is precisely because your Majesty evokes the urge to protect yourself in others that they work so hard for you.”

“Is everyone in this world a lolicon? I think being bigger would be better in various ways.”

Draudiron raised her hands to her flat chest, and wiggled them around like she was carrying something in them.

“Indeed, that form is─”

“─It is not a form; that’s my original shape.”

“Forgive me, your Majesty.”

“Oi, you don’t sound sorry at all.”

“Certainly not.”

Draudiron stared at the minister’s cold smile. She could not see the emotions lurking beneath it and turned away unhappily.

“Now that your Majesty understands, let us return to our original topic. That form might be able to win the hearts of men, but women will not favor it. In contrast, your present form is well-received by men and women, young and old. You ought to understand that. Now, if you insist on taking that form, then you must solve the problems which face this country. Have you any suggestions?”

“...Don’t call it a form.”

“That said, if the present situation continues, you may take any form you wish, because nobody will be there to witness it.”

A heavy silence descended upon the room as she contemplated the state which the Draconic Kingdom was in.

“The Beastman invasion this time is different, isn’t it?”

“Indeed. Given the size of their forces, their aims cannot possibly be as petty as before. I am certain that they aim to conquer our nation. They must have finally made up their minds to build a livestock pen.”

There was a Beastman Nation near the Draconic Kingdom.

Beastmen were bipedal demihumans who resembled carnivorous animals like lions or tigers. The fact that they ate meat and thought nothing of eating humans was immediately evident by looking at their heads.

Man-eating species were not rare. Of the six great nations struggling in the center of the continent, three of them viewed humans as good. For instance, the Troll Kingdoms that were close to the center of the continent considered six month-old infants, served in the belly of their mothers, to be a delicacy which they served to guests.

To these people, this nation was a hunting preserve.

In the past, they seemed to consider this place a self-replenishing feeding ground, and they had never launched an all-out invasion. However, for some reason, they had done so this time round, and three cities had already fallen to them.

The feasts held there made even someone like her want to throw up.

Faced with an external invader who could not be negotiated with, the entire country had rallied to give desperate resistance, but Beastmen were far stronger than human beings.

The Beastman Nation was one of the powerful nations on the continent, which spoke of how much greater their physical attributes were than those of human beings.

For instance, the performance parameters of an adult Beastman were ten times those of a similarly adult human.

Adventurers used values called difficulty ratings to quantify the strength of monsters. If an adult human was a 3, then a Beastman would be 30. The sole saving grace was that there were few exceptional individuals among them, probably because their base statistics were already so high to begin with.

“Currently, adventurers led by adamantite-ranked adventurers have barely managed to push back the enemy, but they are simply too numerous. They cannot stop the invaders if they split up into several tribe-sized elements. ...Perhaps we must gather all the people to the capital and starve the enemy out of food, but we will probably run out first.”

“What a headache. The future’s nothing but darkness.”

“Alternatively, we could dispatch a hand-picked force to launch a decapitation strike at the enemy. However, if it is handled poorly, we might simply agitate them for nothing, but if we cannot stop the invasion, we might be forced to resort to it.”

“And he’s going to be the leader?”

“Indeed, him.”

The “he” in question could only be one man. He was “Brilliant Flash” Cerebrate of “Crystal Tear”, the sole adamantite-ranked adventurer team in this country. His nickname derived from his proficiency with the sword technique known as the Shining Blade, and he possessed the vocation of Holy Lord.

“He’s definitely a lolicon. Whenever he talks to me, his eyes roam all over my body. Does looking at a washboard like this make him happy? Why doesn’t he just go stare at a wall?”

“It is his fetish. Ah, yes, your Majesty is correct. He is a lolicon.”

Draudiron’s face twitched.

“I honestly don’t want to hear you agreeing so readily. The adamantite-ranked people in my country… If only they were a more decent lot.”

“What are you saying? All you need do is pretend to be cute and play the role of a pure, innocent girl, and people will fight to the death for you. Is that not very useful to us?”

“I’m going to have to satisfy his desires one day… oi! Don’t look at me like I’m a pig who’s going to be served up as tomorrow’s breakfast!”

“Hahh…” the man sighed with deliberate exaggeration. That caused her veins to pop out.

“But that is all that will happen. Your Majesty, please bear with it. It is a better fate than your people who have already been physically eaten.”

She had no reply to give.

“...If we had the money, we could hire Optics. Speaking of which, what’s the Theocracy doing?”

“That, nobody knows.”

“Don’t we donate large sums to them every year? Usually, they ought to have come to help us by now, right? It’s not like I want them to send out the Black Scripture, but they haven’t even sent out the Sunlight Scripture.”

The Theocracy had always sent their troops to aid the Draconic Kingdom in secret. The reason why it was a secret was probably because she was its leader.

“So this is our retribution for entrusting our national defense to another country. What a tragedy.”

“It’s not like I like relying on others, it couldn’t be helped! Don’t say you don’t know that our military budget’s always been very tight. If we spent more, the country would have gone bankrupt. Besides, it’s not like the troops will immediately get stronger if we spend the money on the military.”

The Draconic Kingdom had poured a lot of funds into dealing with the Beastmen over the years, but the outcome was every bit as tragic. She wanted to think that they had kept casualties this low because of the money they had spent.

“If the Theocracy’s abandoned us… ah yes, why not ask the Empire for help? If our country is wiped out, the Empire will be next, right?”

“There is still the Katze Plains between them, so it will not be the Empire’s turn right away. They might also detour around the lake to attack the Theocracy.”
“...True, I doubt they’re brave enough to charge into a place where the undead appear en masse.”

Incidentally, both of them had skipped over the Wyvern-controlling tribes along the way.

“It’s not that they’re not brave, but that the undead are inedible, so there’s no point conquering that place. Only fellow undead would be happy to take a place like that. Besides, the Empire ought to be busy too, right? Their yearly war is about to take place.”

“Seems a little late this year.”

“Yes, by about half a year. Some ridiculous magic caster made a declaration. Do you wish to read it?”

“Ahh, who cares about other countries! Enough of that, saving our country’s the important thing!”

“Well, you did bring it up, your Majesty… how about your Majesty’s magic?”

The minister waved his finger. To him, that was probably all he thought of magic. Draudiron smiled bitterly.

“Wild Magic, hm? That kind of power isn’t the sort of thing a human can control; not even with an eighth of Draconic ancestry. If things go badly, it might hasten our country’s demise, so it’s a last resort.”

“A last resort, hm? I hope that day never comes. Then, I shall attempt to request aid from the Theocracy.”

“Ohh! Please do~”

The minister turned a cold stare at Draudiron as she gave her childish reply.

“That’s the spirit, your Majesty. Since you have the strength for it, then I trust you can write thirty letters of encouragement to our troops on the frontline ─ letters of trust from a young child. Naturally, I hope you will write like a child as well.”

“Guehhh… I can’t do that sober. Bring me wine!”

“Understood. While you may intoxicate yourself as much as you please, I hope you will complete this task by today.”

The minister bowed and left the room.

Draudiron watched his back as he departed, and then looked at her own hands.

“The magic of the soul, huh…”

Wild Magic was different from normal magic. It was magic that used souls. Therefore, if she sacrificed many of her people and then destroyed the souls which were produced, she could cast a powerful spell. Her great-grandfather the Dragon Lord had told her about the great explosion which was the Platinum Dragon Lord’s ultimate attack. In all likelihood, she could imitate it easily.

However, since she was much weaker than a Dragon Lord, she would have to sacrifice over a million people to cast a spell like that.

Draudiron covered her face with her hands.

She trembled, because she had the feeling that no matter what she did, Hell was her destiny─

    9. i understand what you people are trying to say, but having the web novel version is waaaay better than not having any version of overlord to read. As a fellow leecher who only speaks and reads english, it is highly unlikely for me to read any raw versions of overlord, and thus i feel depressed. I sincerely wish, and do not demend, that the web novel version of overlord would be translated after volume 9 of the ln version of overlord. Lol i think if we had a poll on whether to translate the wn version of overlord after volume 9 of the ln version is completed, the result would be in favor of it being translated. Anyways, i really appreciate the FACT that you guys made it this far with the ln novel. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH< P.S. if only yenpress didnt exist.....

      Delete
  19. I can kinda understand the point of using Your Excellency last chapter even though Ainz is a King, since he is not the Empire's King and using Your Majesty might seem inappropriate. However, in this chapter, letting Loli Queen be addressed as Your Highness just seems wrong, since Highness is used for the Prince and Princess ranks. Shouldn't she be addressed as Your Majesty? All the more so because she is the sole ruler of the Draconic Kingdom. I do not understand the reasoning for using Your Highness which is clearly ranked below Your Majesty.

    For example, the Queen of England would be referred to as Your Majesty correct? And she's merely a figurehead yet that's what you would call her.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Perhaps that is so, but then again, the whole purpose of her being this loli character here..
      ..don't you think there's a possibility that she's acting as a woman just under the age of coronation?
      In other words, while it is true that she may be the sole leader, it is equally true that she's not the 'queen' yet, hmm?

      Thus, princess should be applicable?
      - just guessing here.


      PS. thanks for the translation, translator-team!! ;)

      Delete
    2. It's possibly a mistake, but I'd like to think it's all part of the ruse. She's made to act like a child, so whether by accident or design, she's treated like an adorable princess rather than the dignified queen she wants to be in order to reinforce the charade.

      Also, the only reason I can see for this intermission, other than for more world-building, is to hint at Ainz's next ally in world domination. I'd really like to see his operations finally extend beyond the scope of the three human nations.

      Delete
    3. I can see your points guys, but I don't think it would work when she is clearly the Queen of the Draconic Kingdom. It's not like Ainz faking as Momon and such, even if people go along with her and play, unless the raws explicitly infer that the lolicons and such refer to her as 'highness' aka as a princess, then she should still be a queen and therefore it should be 'majesty'.

      Now if anything implied she's trying to act like a princess, then that's a different matter, but as far as I could tell that wasn't the case. A queen can still be unmarried/youthful, especially since she apparently has no consort or whatever. It's not a modern setting where people associate Queen = old hag. Well, at least I don't think it is.

      Delete
    4. Jircniv already thinks of her as an old hag pretending to be a loli. I assumed it was already pretty well-known that the Dragon Queen and everybody of her lineage is immortal or, at least, very long lived.

Ehhhh ?Whaaaaat..!!!" And then she faints. Oh i wanna see the reaction if this happens somewhere in the future.Oh i imagine too much lol.

  35. We cannot change what is. I pray yen press will handle the release well, despite people's fears. Just remember, money talks. The more people who buy the releases as they appear, the more motivation yen press has to continue publishing volumes. So please dear fans, when the time comes, support your beloved author by buying volumes legally. And, ensure the continued survival of an English translated overlord by giving yen press the profits to prove how much we love it. You may not like the idea, but that is the kind of world we live in. If people do not buy the volumes. "English" overlord will die. What company would work to publish something at a loss to themselves.

But companies everywhere are pretty much all about the bottom line. Its a numbers game, and they look at a larger demographic than just one passionate fan. A company might withhold their product for a time due to many hidden factors whether it is ironing out all that is required for international legal co-operation, consumer manipulation, gathering appropriate staff.... But money moves the world. As long as a business makes enough money not to go under in this economy, and they see that one of their products might gross for them a healthy profit based on sales data and statistics, it would be almost suicidal not to take advantage of it. Though this world has seen its share of stupid CEO's I grant you.....

  36. Hello everyone ! I started reading overlord 3 weeks ago, took me about this time to read everything ^^
    I have seen in the comments that the light novel was bought by Yenpress... Does it mean that the future volume of Overlord won't be translated here ? :(
    If Yenpress is an american company, allowing the translation to be seen from other countries and not from America would maybe allow you to continue the translation (and for my american fellows, you can use some free vpn :p)
    I am french and i think that this novel should be more well-known ! Even though i have almost no friends who can read english as I do...

    1. Of course the translation team has all my thanks to have made me a real junkie of the overlord light novel...
      If there is a web official serialization i will purchase it, but if i have to wait 5-6 years to get the volume 10... i'd rather get it for free on illegal websites :(
      Maybe you can continue to translate it and propose it on download on torrent websites and such ~
      AAAhhh knowing there will be no more Overlord pains me a lot atm x)

    2. I don't want to leech, but making me wait 4 years to read the next volume legally effectively kills this series for me. How likely is there going to be continued translations by those in another country?

    3. If can get my hands on physical volumes in france i'll buy them even though i've already read it on the internet ^^ but if i get frustrated i guess i won't... Anyways in france we'll get the volumes 5 more years after america lol so... => skythewood translation, i'm really counting on you, I hope everyone can find a way to continue pleasing the fans !

  39. Sebas is a "Dragonoid". Whatever that is, the only other dragonoid I know of is from bakugan.

    3. I bet he guessed it would be the last to be translated since it will be licenced by yenpress ;)

  41. Oh man we're getting close to the end of the current content and likely we won't see volume 10 come out before the translation stops.

    Its been a great ride,too bad it will end like this :(

  42. Wouldn't keeping a 3 volume cap be enough ? we pull out the translation when the volume is out, so we don't have to wait too much, pple can contribute to author-san and yenpress and we have our fan release

    everybody's happy right ?

    1. Sadly it´s not that simple,if Yen Press found out that the fan translation was still going they might try to shut the whole website down and there might be some consequences to the team itself too,if someone would continue fan translating the LN they would have to be very careful to avoid attracting attention to themselves.

    2. Then simply send maybe some pm to ppl interested with links to some random websites and on one of them post translations titeled "I don't know what it is but i translated it" and even gogle god won't be able to find it... :P maybe post as image :O then nothing will be able to find it even with fragments of translations?

  43. I'm not waiting 5 years to catch up to what I already read. I'll buy the original novels and translate them with Google before doing that so some lazy ass company can milk me for money and give the author a percentage. I'd rather just buy the novels direct. prguy318@yahoo.com, I have tons of money and I don't give a shit. Email me if you know how to translate this shit and I'll provide the raws.
