    WHY IT SHOULD GET PICK UP: Current translator, CloudyTL, just announced: "Unfortunately, after thinking about it for weeks, I will be dropping this project and this will be the last chapter I will upload here." Hopefully, someone will pick this up.
    DESCRIPTION:
    An Ojii-san has reincarnated thanks to a kind Goddess. He wished for a 「healthy body」. However, for some reason, he received the cheat ability to use powerful magic instead! Even so, he rarely used the ability.

    When he ―― Shiu, turned 11, the Goddess appeared and informed him ――。”Become an adventurer and enjoy life.” He went to the Royal Capital in order to become an adventurer, on his way there, he met a beast mount, Faris, who became his pet. From there he began his new life.

    Shiu’s world broadened little by little as he took on requests at the Guild and interacted with different people at the Royal Capital ――。 Shiu, the boy with a truly powerful ability, starts his easy-going life in a fluffy different world!

    Seriously?
    It's hard to see the text when the writing is in that colour wi th dark theme on
    Please change it back to no colour so we can all see it clearly

    From chapter 75

    Translator: Blushy
    Editor: HSM

    \o/ I hope you enjoyed that mass release.

    Unfortunately, after thinking about it for weeks, I will be dropping this project and this will be the last chapter I will upload here.

    There are a few reasons for this but the main one is that this series is extremely frustrating to translate even with the help of others. Sometimes it takes me while a while just to make sense of what the author is trying to say and put that into English. Having this much frustration on a project has made my motivation plummet down…

    I’m sorry and hope you have enjoyed this series so far! There’s a manga for this so … maybe someone will translate it someday!

    Sorry for the long text XD


    And +1 to the pick up request

    The Automatic is good.
