A little less than two months have passed since the last chapter, sorry about that. When you start enrolled in a university course, time was just spent over many things.

I also managed to translate a third of a chapter of Online Communication during this gap. I intended to pick up this series, since it only have 30-ish chapters. I want to actually finish the whole series before publishing them at sustained rate though, since I don’t want to have anything hanged over my head like Bishoujo ni Natta Kedo, Neto Game ni something something. I thought that that series will be touching, but the writer just have to paraphrase the same sentence thrice over and over, which feels like a major waste of time for me (you don’t see it, because I have removed any consecutive repetition), do you know how irritating it is to have translated 30 sentences, but then you end up with 14 sentences because you have just removed and combined sentences? Moreover, in the part I’m on, the author also writes vaguely, that I have to fill in the blanks myself (you also don’t see it, because I have committed to make it enjoyable to read, and so I have clarified any vague points, such as missing subject, missing object, fuzzy actions. Yeah, his verbs are really general).

That’s enough about MMO Junkie. that will have its own place in certain other announcement post. If I ever drop Online Communication midpoint, I will see if I can publish up to that chapter if that time comes.

By the way, I intend on continuing this one until the final chapter, although it is coming slowly. I have finished translating until chapter 20 (8 chapters ahead), but I still need to comb through it for proofreading and fixing mistranslation, so you will have to wait for that.

That’s all update from me now, happy reading!

My energy was drained from proofreading chapter 10 much like how Ziege exhausted Cherry Blossom… anyway, that’s my reason (this time) to release a little slow. Chapter 11 isn’t as emotional, but a little, so it should take less time for me to release the next chapter.
Anyway, happy reading!

That moment when you have translated 10 chapters ahead, but still have to go back to proofread and revise old chapters in case of errors regardless of whether you want to continue reading or not…

I remembered the feeling when I was translating this last year (November according to the last edited date on my txt). I was trying to translate it as fast as possible, so I translated very intensely and attentively (so I won’t need to redo it later on). The fighting scene was also very descriptive. You can just imagine the actions that the author intended us to imagine, so I also tried my hardest not to ruin it. The result, I believe was worth it, I reread a few of the sentences a few times in order to comprehend it back then, and so rereading it somewhat still remind me of back then, haha.

Anyway, happy reading!
Edit: I don’t know why, but this chapter was as exhausting as it was back then, which was very exhausting. I even had to proofread this chapter twice, when I usually only do this once. Maybe the nuances are more important than ever before this time…

I will try to post new translation frequently in the future.

Happy reading!

Sorry for the very late release. I spent around a month, thinking what to do with the Kakuyomu version when I prefer the narou version for the simplicity before I ended up putting it in the back burner in favor for other things.

After I was told on the re:library discord that someone depended on this novel so they won’t spiral back into depression, I decided to go ahead with narou version. If 6 months have passed, and I still haven’t change my mind, a few more months probably wouldn’t change the decision. I would like to translate the Kakuyomu version in the future though.

Happy reading!

Sorry for the late release. I spent the last month reading through books that I have bought and not read, and also designed my own story. I have read the comments from the last chapter, and I am happy that this series got some warm reception, even though I’m not the author. (Please send rating and likes in the original syosetsu page. It would make the author happy)

I also have a question, but that can wait until the end of the chapter, so happy reading!

I just read a comment that says that we shouldn’t take seriously what Kurona think what he looks like because he strongly thinks of himself as a boy from a couple chapters ago. I wholeheartedly agree. Pretty sure the glasses aren’t designed to cover her eyes, but instead highlight it.

Happy reading!

I would look forward to more screen time for Midori.

Chapter 4 done. By the way:
1. Mé = Meh from previous chapter. Which one do you prefer?

2. I forgot about this, but I actually haven’t make up my mind on how to translate Kurona’s transformation self-introduction. It may experience minor change into the future, but it shouldn’t be so extreme that you should worry about it.

However, I love to hear your opinions on what would be the best localization of his transformation intro. Should it be Magical Girl: Magical Flower, Black Rose, Magical Girl, Magical Flower, Black Rose, The Magical Flower Magical Girl, Black Rose, The Magical Girl of Magical Flowers, Black Rose, The Magical Mystical Flowering Black Rose, The Mystic Flower Magical Girl, Black Rose, or others? If we are looking for accuracy, then Magical Girl, Magical Flower, Black Rose would be the most accurate one. This also happens to be where I’m leaning upon. Currently, it is the version with a colon because in my head, I thought that the MC is categorizing himself under Magical Flower, which is a subcategory of Magical Girls. Pretty unlikely, considering even the MC said that this is basically marketing catchphrase.

Happy reading!

Whops, I released three chapters before remembering that I haven’t made a post about it. Guess I will make a 3-in-1 post just this once.

I have liked this fiction before I even read it, so I have been eying to be its translator since last year. I only started now after my Japanese proficiency becomes sufficient and that it is actually a candidate for patreon pickup.

That might have implied that the fiction will be picked up anyway and I can just reap the fruit, but I would rather do it myself so I can uphold a certain level of quality.

That being said, if you see any grammar mistakes, odd sentences, ambiguous sentences, let me know in the comments, and I will see if I can improve it.

Happy reading!
