Page 16

Neuro：…騒がしい

Yako:[そしてこの魔人…]
[And this demon…]

[弱つ!!]
[is so weak!!]

Zera:…そりゃそうでさあ
…it’s like I said

魔人の力は地上では万分の一
the power of a demon above ground is only 1/10,000th

ネウロ様でこれなのに
Even though Neuro-sama's ended up like this,
下級魔人の俺の力なぞ普通人間も下回りまさ
My power as a low-class demon is no match even for an ordinary human.

Yako:え…
Eh…
それじゃ
So that means
ネウロみたいに弱体化したら大変なんじゃ
It'd be bad if you became as weak as Neuro

Zera:普通なら地上に出た瞬間に消滅でさあ
Normally the instant we’d emerge above ground we would cease to exist

だが…
but…
生物には適応力ってものがある
our biology allows us the power to adapt


Page 19

Zera:俺のように
Like me

内臓の端が魔界と通じていれば
If the far ends of my internal organs connect to Hell,

魔界の酸素…瘴気も吸えるし
I can breathe in Hell's oxygen... the miasma,

魔界の小虫を吸いこんで栄養にする事もできる
And I can get the nutrition needed by Hell's small bugs.

…だが
…but
ネウロ様あんたは違う
Neuro-sama, you’re different

弱いが故に魔界を逃れた俺達とは違う
from us who escaped Hell because we're weak

Page 20

Zera:強大なパワーに任せて
Using your mighty power

強引に地上への道を開いた
You forced open a path to the world above.

そこに「謎」があるという理由だけで
And just for reason that there were 'puzzles' there,

肉体の負担も顧みず
You ignored the burden on your body,

本能と情熱に任せて
Letting your instinct and passion run free.

Page 21

Zera: 魔界一知的な生物は…
This time Hell's most intelligent creature …
時に魔界一愚かな行動を取る
committed Hell's most foolish act
[tn: thanks for clarification on these two lines]

今回だってそうだ
Now it's like this

ぶっちゃけ
I won’t hold back saying it

死にますぜ
You

あんた
are going to die

Text:告げられる現実…!!
An informed reality…!!
[tn: I don’t like the wording on this but thesaurus doesn’t give me any better options]

[tn: So it looks like Hell is pissed off at Neuro for him escaping and finally decided to take action...interesting development.

Second note: MTNN will end on chapter 202 (or so supposedly an official source notes...)

Third: For all confused: Zera is a MALE demon (he uses "ore" when speaking) The way he is broad shouldered and wearing pants also supports this (practically all the female characters in MTNN wear skirts unless in some sort of uniform). As for his...lipstick and pretty hair... I'm toying with the possibility that Zera is not only a demon but an okama. And I will just because it amuses me.]
