WE. ARE. BACK. IN. BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this is the first post after being back, gonna explain a bit about what’s going on. But for those who don’t really care about all that, I get you, click here and go straight on ahead 😁
First of all, a self-introduction. I’m Kamishiro Taishi (usually just Taishi for short), and I was the translator for the official English publication of “There Was No Secret Evil-Fighting Organization (srsly?!), So I Made One MYSELF!” (or “Secret Org” for short) on J-Novel. Unfortunately, the Japanese publication ended at Volume 2. I, however, strongly disagree with that lukewarm evaluation of this absolute masterpiece of a series. And so I contacted the author, Kurodome-sensei, and got his permission to continue translating Volume 3 and on as a fanslation! I also checked with J-Novel, so this fanslation is legal and aboveboard. So, yay! (And thanks to ChewyBaguette also for being understanding!)
Just a small disclaimer, but since I’ll be doing this myself without an editor, there might be some mistakes here and there. So yea, sorry about that. (But I am looking for one, so feel free to PM me on Discord if you’re interested! No money though, sorry.😅) I’m always open to pointers and suggestions about typos and other errors in the text, so feel free to ping me about that too; we have a #translation-talk channel for that. 😛
Regarding release schedule, I’m afraid I can’t commit to anything specific. As I still have a full time job, and I also have another series for which I’m translating both the LN and the manga for on J-Novel, this will unfortunately be the lowest in that list of priorities. I kindly ask for your understanding. To stay on top of releases, I’ve set it up so that when I release a new chapter, there’ll be an announcement on the Discord and also a Tweet, so feel free to take advantage of that. (Not FB though, I’ve closed the page as there was pretty much 0 interactions on there, and I myself have also stopped using FB ages ago too.)
If you want to support this whole endeavor, firstly, please go buy yourself a copy of Volumes 1 and 2 in Japanese, so as to support Kurodome-sensei and also let him know how great an idea this all is. 😏 After that, if you still happen to have a bit of spare change, then I’d appreciate you getting the English version too. 😳 All purchase links are listed in the Table of Contents page for this series.
So without further ado, here’s Chapter 1 of Volume 3!

Welcome back! I look forward to the adventure and messing around in the comments!
Thanks! Me too! 😆
thank you so much for making the decision to translate volume 3, its saddening to not be able to fully read great works like this.
Thank you.
Thanks for this great news. I have both English official volumes in digital version and it’s really a delightful thing to read. It’s wholesome.
Much appreciate your effort, so as far to reach the author.
Awww thanks for your support! Yes, this series is…wholesome. Fact.
Thank you for continuing this masterpiece. Pls tell the author that I love his work. His work is a masterpiece, and I also felt disagree with lukewarm evaluation of this work!.
Sure thing!
Thank you!.
omg.
I speak for all the lurkers who also like the series, when I say :
Thank you.
seriously.
What??? There is no volume 3, even though the story is great???? Thanks for translating this masterpiece
Thanks for keeping this translation alive. I hope we can share this adventure for a long time.
Thanks for the translation boss!
Thank you so much , this is one of the best jap novel I read till date. Thanks for continuing it
Thanks for this.
Quick question though: If this was cancelled after volume 2 where is volume 3 coming from?
Is it just the relevant Webnovel chapters or is the author publishing it by themselves online?
The WN is still continuing (Vol 8, the final volume, is just beginning). The LN is an adaptation of the WN, and it was the LN that got discontinued.
Below is the WN raw, feel free to try reading it along with my translation if you want to use it for learning Japanese! 😆

Oh god, i can’t be more happier than i am. I just finished reading the last 2 volumes, and was searching in j-novel for the third, but then i found out that they would release more because the series has been canceled in japan, just to found out that the author would keep the series as in webnovel and that the ORIGINAL translator of LN would also be translating the WN.
Cheers, man! 😁
This might be late, but I give my honest thanks to you for translating this masterpiece.
My pleasure!
I’m afraid I’m unable to find chapter 29 nor chapter 30, and that’s two whole content worth of info I’m missing out on (θ‿θ) Can anyone help direct me to a place where I can find them?
