Episode 10: Nina the thief ④
I am now frustrated because I am in a disadvantageous position. Although I gained more than what I originally thought, hunting with the presence of others is uncomfortable. However the quest rewards have been flowing into my pockets easily.
Because goblins sometimes kidnapped humans and destroyed, the quest to subdue them is always high. For killing ten goblins I could get 1 silver moon coin. My daily income from goblins are 3 silver coins.
On top of that, I was now hunting inside a cave. I didn’t know about this before even if I usually come near the area to gather herbs. This place isn’t exactly a simple cave. It was a labyrinth or a dungeon. If one explores it without caution, there are poisonous traps scattered around. It will be a suicide for me to enter, but with Nina here, she could disarm the trap.(PR notes: not sure about the sentence structure, has someone a better idea?)
Inside the dungeon, there are not only goblins. Orcs, War bats, goblin soldiers, goblin knights, and thanks to that I could deprive their skills. My stats have increased tremendously.

[Swordsmanship] increased from Goblin soldiers, [physical strength up] from orcs, and [awareness] from war bats. (TL notes:I wonder why blacksmith and alchemy are active skills? And awareness is kind of a search area skill)
Since I got [awareness] Nina couldn’t stalk me easily anymore. From this one month, I gained more than I could have wished for.
“It was a good idea to team up with you.”
“See, what did I tell you!”
“It probably wouldn’t have mattered if I had partied up with others.”
“You..! Humph..”
Nina then pouts.
However I wouldn’t make any party with anyone else. I didn’t trust them. I still don’t trust Nina either.
In one month, 80% of the bath is completed. It won’t be long before I finish it. Although it was easy to get wood from the forest, but designing and putting it together is another thing. In this one month, there’s no increase in [blacksmith] and [alchemy] too. Is it normally this hard to increase a skill?
When the bath is finished, grandma Stella is the one who is really pleased. I added an iron plate on the bottom of the tub so that it can produce warm water if heated.
……..
When I finished making the bath, I heard someone arguing inside the forest. I find Nina with two people. It was the Mishe brothers. They used to be in the same party as Hage.
“Nina, won’t you tell us what happened?”
“Why should I?”
“I want you to listen to us. You don’t want something to happen to that brat or that old woman don’t you?”
“You don’t even know where he hides.”
“You think we’re a fool? You go with him to that cave everyday.”
“We know Hage’s missing, he has something to do with it.”
Hages gone missing has been finally linked to me. I used this time to inspect their statuses.

just looking at the status, Nina would have no trouble running away.
“Bam”
With a sound, Nina fell to the floor, she has a nosebleed.
Why is she lying (TL notes:bc she just fell to the ground?) there like an idiot?
“If you don’t want to tell us anything then you could keep silent.”
“No one will know what is going on right?”
The brothers are smiling with lustful eyes.
“Why are you protecting that boy?”
They asked that while kicking her.
“There’s no benefit for you right?”
Nina just curled up there with a bloodied face.
“Hahaha.. Brother she is not resisting. We could ‘do’ her.”
They tried to tore off her leather armor.
“please.. Stop..” Nina is crying and trembling when she said that.
“Don’t worry. We will make sure you get a lots of love.”
“Just listen to us and be an obedient girl.”
Suddenly they feel blood lust coming from behind. They quickly took their spear and axe and readied themselves.
It was Yu, he is holding a long sword in his hand.
“Yuuu…. Why.?”
Nina couldn’t believe that he came to save her.
“I just happened to be passing by.”
“Ooh.. Look what we got here. You can’t run away.” Coco said.
“You.. That long sword and leather armor! It’s Hage’s!” Nuts shouts at him.
While enraged Coco lunged forward to attack Yu. “This rotten brat, that garbage Nina! I’ll kill you!”
Yu isn’t wavered. He activates the [sword strike]. It was a skill that attacks twice. He aimed at the neck and belly.
*Clank*
The blow to the stomach was parried by the axe but the blow to the neck was unexpected. Blood was splurging out from the clean cut and soon Cocos body fell.
“You! That’s a [sword strike]! How could you use that. You didn’t even take a stance before activating it.”
Nuts hasn’t recovered from his shock. His brother was killed in front of him and the young brat used a skill.
However Yu isn’t a patient boy. He approaches him and swing his sword downwards. Nut’s on reflex tried to block the attack but a spear is not a weapon for parrying or blocking.
“Wait.. Wait!”
Nuts was saying that when Yu’s sword sliced through the spear and planted it down on Nuts’s head.
“Yu…. Yu….”
Nina is clinging to Yu while he takes out a cloth and wipes her face.
“Why didn’t you run away? Why didn’t you fight back?”
“You know.. I have a trauma towards man. I hate them!”
(TL notes:it seemed her experiences in Vivid village is an attempt of rape (Pr notes: now we are 18+ bitches!;-) however the author didn’t explained further)
Yu then laughs. “You know. The me who helped you is a man too.”
“That didn’t count!” she pouts.
They fell into silence while Nina is smiling. Yu who said that is confused.
“How could you smile while in this situation?”
“because..”
“what?”
“You came to save me.”
“we’re friends… It’s natural for me to help you.” when he said that, the edges of Yu’s mouth curved a little upwards.
Rebirth Online World 
thanks
No problem.. ^^
side question do you care if a person does the race to be the first commenter and thanks for the many chapters.
Not really.. I just feel like giving thanks lol
thnx for the chapters.. appreciate all the chapters your doing.. keep up the great work
Thanks..
Thanks for the chapter and sometimes you have to remember the Mc is about 12 years old, or so I remember from the start, pretty much on honest and innocent intentions atm towards her I think. If he can deprive, I wonder if he can bestow later on if he can level up his deprive skill or something of the sorts.
Yeah.. I wonder if he could turn from a stealer into a giver..
I wonder if there are any penalties for using it later on
Probably.. I think that’s why he keep having headache..
He need to gather the 108 star of destiny to get it into the forgiveness phase.
Hahaha… He doesn’t even found one
Yeah, if he is lazlo he would have already killed snow.
*seeing username* not you
Ehm. If you want to add translator’s note, it’s protocol to add TL: or “translator note:” to the beginning. The way youve been commenting previous chapters make it easy to misunderstand things as author’s writing instead of yours.
(it seemed her experiences in Vivid village is an attempt of ra*e however the author didn’t explained further)<===============

Also, I have no idea why you selfcensor rape and stuffs. Author doing it I can understand, since Japanese can be oddly puritanism in certain things, but you? Why?
Aah.. Good idea.. Will do from now on..
Bit of a pity he couldn’t use the Depriver skill mid-combat. He’d pretty much be invincible if he could.
Hahaha.. Just imagine.. A mage is casting a gigantic spell that takes ten minutes to chant.. Suddenly when he want to launch it, it failed.. Lol
thanks for a nice meal for reading
Your welcome.. I’m sorry I couldn’t give a full course..
Thanks
4 chapters pretty cool
It’s holiday bro.. And today I’m on break hahaha..
Thank you!
Interesting story but the author really needs to work on adding details to the story.
Yeah.. The author really gives no description.. For example nuts and coco, he gives no info about their appearances at all..
For now he can only extort skill exp (because if its level, you can just spam Depriver mutiptle times on lv 1 skill), what is next ? Memories ? Tittle ? Stat ? Luck ? Items ? age ?
Thanks for chapter …
just found this today.definitely interesting.
thx for translating this series.
Your welcome
Nuts was saying that when Yu’s sword sliced trough the spear and planted it diwn on Nuts’s head.

ubau mono : one who deprive
ubawareru mono : the deprived
You can’t even properly tl the title.
The proper translation for the title is berave or beraved..
I know. That’s what the author decide for the english title of his novel but the proper tl of the japanese title is like what I said roughly. And anyway, ‘bereave or bereaved’ is still far cry from ‘to deprive a deprived person’. I hope you at least understand the difference.
Yeah… but that’s what the machine translator said to me lol.. It was MTLed basically..
Thanks for the Chapter. I’m really interested in how this story develops. Keep up the good work.
Thanks..
thanks for the chapter \o\o\o\o\
Really like the story so far, thank you very much. It is a little confusing at moments but the awesomeness of the rest outweighs the bad. Love a good level/stats rpg story. Keep up the good work, I check your page now like every couple of hours.
Thanks..
thanks for the chapter can’t wait for more
Incoming..
Thank you for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter
Yuu who said that is confused.
Said should be saw.
So 1st waifu confirmed.
“It will be a suicide for me to enter, but with Nina here, she could disarm the trap.”
“Normally, it would be suicide for me to enter but with Nina here, the traps could be disarmed.”
Would this be a better way to form the sentence?
Tbvh if i was close to being raped i would just cry instead of asking “why”
“Spear is not a weapon for parrying or blocking.”
WTF, Author cleary didn’t do his research before writing. This is one of the things that irks me in Web Novel/Light Novel.
Spear is a pole weapon designed for thrusting, it is in a way superior to sword in reach. In several martial arts that utilizes spear, there exist a system to parry and counter other pole weapon and short weapon. Also blocking with spear may not be a great idea, but sword isn’t like axe that is designed to cut with heavy force in concentrated area. That being said, at least blocking with spear (and I’m assuming it’s made from good strong wood) could dampens the damage from sword. Sword is not an all powerful weapon, you know.
Decent example of spear vs longsword.
The guy with longsword close in on the spearman by going to side and reduce a distance while preventing spearman to retract his spear and grab the spear, then score a point.
Sorry for being butthurt about this, I know you’re just translating, but I kinda feel the need to vent
