Chapter 100 has arrived! It"s been a long journey and I hope you all stick around for what"s to come!
Demon Sword Maiden will be going through a transition period over Christmas while some translators get shuffled about, but don"t worry about releases. We"ve got all of that under control!
Also, apparently someone withdrew from the Patreon because the Patreon released chapters don"t have the footnote comments. I feel blessed to know that I have such dedicated fans. It gave us a good chuckle over on the discord, thank you whoever you are.

Now! The thing you"ve all been waiting for! We did a quick run through on the discord over the past week on a few Special Chapter concepts and compiled this poll today! The voted for chapter will be included on the Wednesday 25th Demon Sword Maiden release. Likewise, exactly a week later the New Year special will be released.

I"ll put them in easy to understand numbered list:
1. The Ancestor was sniped from us.

2. Sigma was caught using machine translation and fired as Demon Sword Maiden"s main translator.

3. Relocated Nexus to Demon Sword Maiden but he failed miserably (still have to pay him for the three chapters he did)

4. Relocated Nexus to Dragon Princess (good thing he managed to do better in Dragon Princess, but a little more discipline and punctuality would be nice, had me sweating cold-buckets when he only started translating the last 6 chapters just before the deadline)

5. Recruited Immortal Dreamer as the main translator for Demon Sword Maiden and he said he"d be able to provide all the chapters by the next week, so I paid him in advance since I would be on a trip the said week (still didn"t get the chapters after I get back from vacation)

5. Zzonkedd was down with gastro and real-life events kept him busy so he was unable to provide for Knight & Elf.

6. Recruited Aurum as a temporary translator for Knight & Elf, asked him to provide me with at least 1 ~3 chapters by last weekend but I barely managed to get him to provide me with a single chapter just a few hours before the scheduled release, it was honestly nervewracking.

7. Immortal Dreamer overworked himself to pay his bills but some of his employers aren"t able to pay him yet until the 1st week of December since their money is being managed by a different company. I agreed to pay him upfront again for the 2nd batch of Demon Sword Maiden chapters. (I have effectively paid him two months worth of chapters in advance now, both of which I still haven"t received a single chapter of)

8. Then since two weeks ago, I haven"t been getting any sign of a response from Immortal Dreamer. Now I"m just getting anxious since Demon Sword Maiden stockpile has run out. And I"m also really worried about the well being of Immortal Dreamer"s sudden disappearance.

I"ve been overthinking these past few days, thinking, what if Immortal Dreamer has overworked himself and collapsed? He had a history of being hospitalized for months due to poor health conditions, so that"s not really out of the question.

As you can see, it has been a rather stressful week for me since I came back from my vacation. I no longer have a stockpile for Knight & Elf series, and the chapters from Aurum are still pending. I also don"t have any stockpile left for Demon Sword Maiden, and still no news from Immortal Dreamer. I"m not worried that he will just run off with the money, he"s a nice guy and I"ve known him for a while, I trust him, even now. I"m just really concerned about his health.

After a nice long talk with the therapist, I"ve been advised to change my mindset to a more positive one, so while there is nothing I can do about Knight & Elf chapters but wait, I can at least look at Demon Sword Maiden in a more positive light, despite already paying the translator, so it"s still quite a b.u.mmer that I have to translate it myself, but it just means I"ll be back to square one, just like the time with only me and Sigma. But this time, it is me and Nexus. I will be translating Demon Sword Maiden, while Nexus will translate Dragon Princess, then I will do the translation check for Dragon Princess, and publish these chapters as usual. So yeah, nothing has changed, it"s just the same old pattern until either Immortal Dreamer gets back to us or I find a new translator for Demon Sword Maiden in the worst-case scenario.
