High Spec Village - 043

  Since the very beggining I was waiting for this chapter. I had a lot of trouble coming up with a way for her to speak since I did know where that thing was going.

Anyway, you'll understand after this chapter. Enjoy.



Episode 43: A Fleeting Holiday

"Yo, Yamato-danna! "  

 The self-called debauchee, Lacq, arrived with his usual greeting at the bazaar, the same as he had been doing these past few days.

 And of cour...

Episode 42: Showing special confidence and courtesy (Sanko no Rei)


 Isis, the consul regent girl waited for Yamato in the alley in front of the inn.

"Coming alone at this late hour... no, I guess you do have an escort."

"Yes. I was scolded for trying to come alone..."

 The girl waited in the darkness, but she was not alone.

 In a place not far away, there was an escort knight.

 It was one of the knights who ru...

Okay, seems like I won't be buying the LN this month, tbh I used this month's patreon money along with a little I had saved to buy a multifunctional laser printer. A cousin lended me what I was missing.  But yay, I can sell copies and prints now.

Also, I don't know how you say it in english, monographs? Sheets with illustrations on the front and text on the back. Someone who used to have a stationary store 'nearby' (not really but not too far) sold me a pack he had stored. I wasnt going t...

Alrighty, with this chapter, it became clear that the city of Orn is based on the city of Sakai from the warring states, therefore I changed the term Viceroy for Consul, since that was the term used for the ruler of Sakai, an independent city state that flourished due to trade during the sengoku era of Japan.

Let's just hope it doesn't meet the same end.

Also, I took yesterday as a rest day. The saturday I pretty much spent all day translating chapter 39 and the chapter 2 of The villaine...

Alright, new chapter. Not sure if the author improved his writing or is it me that got better at translating, but I felt this chapter (and the last ones) a bit more fluid to translate.

Enjoy the chapter!

  


Episode 39: Assassins

In a back alley in Orn, Yamato was surrounded by a black-dressed armed group.

Who are they...?

Just as he was wondering that, his opponents took action.

One of them separated from the group, approaching ...

I think I spoke too soon.

I received a call the next day, and since I knew the number I knew it was about the loan. I happily answered hoping it was something about them coming to see the place or just plainly saying 'You got the loan'.

Well, I suppose I've been pretty lucky lately and hoped for that luck to continue, but it didn't. They denied me the loan, and told me to apply again next year (after every president leaves the office, pretty much most of the government offices change the...

- Hey, Kari, what have you been doing?

Well, this has been quite an eventful month for me, in an extremely good way.

First of all, I quit my job... I think it's best to start at the beggining. Here, let me share with you this short story.


It all started on the seventh of this month, I visited my mom since she was retiring (from her job). And while speaking with her, I obviously complained about my job. To put it in perspective, I did office work 8 hours a day, with some ...

Episode 37: Bazaar


After returning from his research in the city of Orn, Yamato was welcomed by the sight of trouble.

"Yamato-sama, please help us."

"What's wrong Liscia-san."

"It’s the costumers, they..."

Turning his gaze, he observed the people at the front of the Urd stall.

There, two costumers were arguing with each other about something.

After finishing the procedures at the city wall gates, a group traveling from Urd finally entered the city.

And as they traveled the streets, Liscia happily ...

August Update

  

I tried and failed to deliver.

I'll make no excuses, but I really appreciate you for sticking with me during this tough month.

For this next August I’ll have the same plan, 20 chapters plus the ones I didn’t finish in July.

That would be 35 chapters this month, yay. I hope I can do it this time. Go me!

This month I’ll also resume posting in my blog.

And with the injuries of the children now cured, Urd's life had returned to its original peaceful days.

It was at that time, Yamato was a little away from the village, in a meadow near the mountains.

I didn’t want to made this post until everything was sorted out, so it took me a while.

Not much bad, but sad news happened some days ago. I flooded, thank god it wasn’t that bad, but it was pretty scary.

Regarding the circumstances surrounding the problem in the rock salt mine near Urd Village, Yamato inquired Gaton.

"Is there no rock salt left in the mine? Jii-san."

Sorry for the lack of updates on the patreon, As you know, currently work has been a tad bit hard, so it leaves me with not much time to translate.

I still want to maintain at least my 4 days schedule until the elections finish.

It's been a while since I've had my eyes set on this author, A99. I love his/her stories and I wanted to share them with patreons first. Its the same author of Ore no Negai wa.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of The Villain Girl is Perfectly Fine Alone...

Before being reborn, I was really fond of villain characters.

Also, a thing I find a little 'annoying' is the fact that to diferienciate between the children, the author uses different ways to address Yamato from every single character.

After being sick since returning from the trip, I tried to translate but to no avail, I really felt bad so I decided to rest over the weekend. I'm still a bit sick, but I feel better now. Can't take days off of work since we're closing in to the presidential election in my country and my work has something to do with it (not directly tho).

I just hope this next month isn't as hectic as I think.
