So the hololive boys, holostars, group got revealed.
Honestly I am… underwhelmed.
The character concepts are all great, don’t get me wrong. Like, if I wanted to be a vtuber I 100% would have wanted to be in this lineup.
…but the designs feel really cluttered.
It’s similar to the Irys problem.
I think they botched the models, my apologies to the artists who created them.
But they’re really overdone and all of them are generic pretty boys.
Killer heatwave made work interesting today, barely survived but it was an interesting event.
There wasn’t much to do that didn’t involve ridiculous temperatures.
We actually had to close the top floor because the metal roof was just causing everything to bake inside.
But yeah the things to do for that day were uh… unideal for the heat.
They were either involving being outside, or being in the hottest rooms of the top floor.
Had to give up on those.
Hiya~! It seems like we’re back to Tuesday but that’s not the only mistake I’ve made, midway through translating the chapter, I realised that I accidentally skipped an Interlude… The Interlude should be up by this week, so please look forward to it! Anyhow, AinCiel!
Last time on AinCiel: Now back at home, our princesses are eating dinner with mother-landlady (Mom Lady? Land mom? LaMomDy?) while having a chat about their day. The landlady dropped a few subtle/not so subtle ominous warnings, but other than that it was a great time. After heading to their room, they had a short fun chat before the elder princess then gently nudged the younger princess to talk to the maids, who are also in the room just blending in like air, to have her practicing socialising with other people. And while that didn’t quite work as planned, the younger princess’ maid was quick witted enough to continue the abrupt conversation by asking for stories about the elder princess, much to the said princess’ chagrin. All in all, it was a fun night indeed. Now then:
What will happen next? Of course we know what’s happening next, shopping! Better question, is Ain going to a lot of new stuff all at once or will Ciel have the moderation (and Ain the negotiating capacity) to keep the shopping short and minimal?
Find out in the next chapter: Shopping and…!!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter. Please stay safe! Feel free to comment and I hope you all have a wonderful week!
In the previous pre-chapter ramble I was too busy complaining about my inevitable demise at the hands of weather conditions that I forgot to say that the fanart is completed, and has been available for viewing in the patreon channel of the discord!
You too can get early access to it buy following this link to the patreon and signing up.
It’ll automatically direct you towards the discord server and you can access the patreon content there!
It’s some good artwork I must say.
I’ll upload it for free eventually soon, once I have finished the short story I am writing to go with it (Sorry the new Genshin event is my priority because Fischl).
If you are reading this, then I have probably died by now.
News has reached me that temperatures are expected to exceed 30 degrees today.
That’s a full ten degrees above my personal temperature tolerance.
Yes, I am destined to die.
Of course, even with those numbers I don’t have the worst of it. My condolences to those who live in the heat island known as London.
Ah, the UK is doomed.
As I write this preparing for the heatwave, you will read this roughly about the time I have to walk home from work. When the sun is at its peak.
Please, send your thoughts and prayers for this humble editor.
The UK has a “red” severe weather warning for the next few days.
This is the first time in history that a severe weather warning has been issued for high temperatures.
A red level means that it’s a national emergency and that services should prepare for potential shut downs and major health issues.
In fact some of our trains have already been stopped because the railways are warping under the temperature expansion.
The place I work gets really hot too so I’m a little anxious about having to go in on the two worst days of the week.
My Arpeggio of Bluesteel manga is still nowhere to be seen, not a single unit in stock anywhere.
It’s like a vapor book.
It just never came into being.
Anyway, mystery of that aside, I’m not too fussed if I never get them, it just means that my many many many years of reading Arpeggio has reached its end due to stock issues.
Luckily I have since taken on many more light novels and manga to enjoy.
And if I really wanted I could just find where my paperbacks left off to read online.
Thanks to my brother starting Genshin Impact I was drawn back into the land of gacha games.
What a terrifying force of power it is. Truly no escape.
Anyway, today I was hardcore carrying him as he explored Dragonspine for some exp to continue the story.
It’s hard to judge how much help to give someone.
On one hand you don’t want to flood them with information of varied levels of usefulness.
But on the other hand you don’t want them to have to learn things the long way and have to make up for lost time.
I watched the Sword Art Online movie finally today.
Having read the Progressive novel I thought I knew roughly what to expect, but it was different in a lot of ways.
I had to laugh when they pawned off a lot of Kirito’s early dialogue on the movie original new girl.
Overall I think it worked well, but it also held a couple of problems I didn’t expect as a result.
I wonder how they’re going to carry that new girl going forward.
