Risou no Himo Seikatsu - Vol. 18 Ch. 76 - Departure

I just realized that it's been six year since we started scanlating Risou, picking up from C16. So every year Zenjirou spent over there equals to two years of ours lol.

its about time!

I still can't get over the name "Zenkichi". What kind of name is it? Even by the japanese standards it should be considered extremely avant-garde.
Sure, i checked the original writing of this name, and it look like it means good fortune/virtue/happiness. But still... who the heck name their child "zenkichi"? I just can't...

Time to search for the One Piece!

According to Google it means "Virtuous" or "Good Luck", so it's basically just that superstition where parents think the child will be blessed with what they're named after.

Yes, exactly. As you saw, i already checked the meaning of the name, and understand from where it comes. BUT! There are tons of japanese names that have the similar meaning without being so weird.

Actually nevermind, after googling it, it looks like that name isn't exactly as rare as i originally thought. Somehow, with my years of extensive weeb'ing, i missed zenkichi from medaka box, persona 5, and megami tensei... Before that manga, literally never heard this name ever - neither from anime/manga, nor from actual people from japan.

As saying goes - looks like i need more training

Well, I can understand her motivations to marry Zenjiro. Her own culture makes her a pariah. She wants to be with her family.

Now they have an heir and spare, Hope they don't kill each other.

I'm excited for us to meet new people to engage in discourse and politics.

Thank you for the scanlation

 

[AnotherDuck]

Yes, that is something important that's worth running to.

Subsequent deliveries are usually easier.

He hadn't thought of potential names?

"Neither royalty nor nobility."

Royalty is part of nobility. And it's not like cases where someone skirts the edge there is unusual. Bloodlines have so many layers it's hard to say where it doesn't count anymore.

Well, that is certainly straight to the point.

"It seems she hasn't read that far."

I'm not sure she'd be as eager for this if the negotiations did fall through. And it's not like she can act with anything but the assumption that they will succeed.

I think you should spell it "Uppsala."

Finally departure. Been a while since they brought it up, and even longer since we expected it.

Funny how he's the only one who manage to stay steady.

I just realized that it's been six year since we started scanlating Risou, picking up from C16. So every year Zenjirou spent over there equals to two years of ours lol.

That's surprisingly equal. Many don't even get one year for half a decade.

It's very zen.

Thanks for the chapter

Maximizing profit with minimal content has always been the goal.

I wouldn't use the exact word pariah as she's not shunned or otherwise treated negatively by others. She's treated extremely well, but the problem is she can't do anything to contribute to the country, whereas those around her are living their lives fully and following their ambitions. That's why she feels like a nobody standing next to great people. But maybe one could say she made herself a pariah in her own mind.

 

[LordTartaros]

A better name compared to Zenkichi (lol)

 

[outinthegardener]

Major transition chapter that wraps up multiple plot points (Aura's pregnancy, Lucraezia's bid to join the harem) and kicks off the transcontinental journey arc. Tons of potential here.

And yet, my cursed brain locked in on "Duke Bilbo Zenjirou Bilbo Capua" and noticed he's got double Bilbos. Spicy!

 

[captain_crunch]

I thought the daughter's name is Juana? Oh well.

 

[Kreate]

We are going to continue to get way to much lucrarzia aren't we... I can't see her as anything other than annoying and would prefer she disappeared from the series. Literally anyone else would be better. Id rather he'd marry chief mate Magnus.

Royalty is part of nobility. And it's not like cases where someone skirts the edge there is unusual. Bloodlines have so many layers it's hard to say where it doesn't count anymore.

Yes and no. If there's a clear divide between royalty and nobility, like it's apparently the case in the Twin Kingdoms. Protocol, legal treatment, duties, rights... being one or the other can be worlds of difference.

Lucrezia is in a rather pitiable grey area: she's by birth royalty, however by law or tradition or other nonsense, she's nobility because she doesn't qualify to be her parents' legal child. That means she has to be publicly treated as nobility by her blood family with all the distance that means while in private they can be a normal family; and the inverse happens with her adoptive family. This dissonance of treatment drives Lucrezia insane and wants to qualify as royalty to be with her birth family without pretending they're anything else.

Royalty is considered separate from Nobility, even if the majority of the nobles are blood related to the current royal family. What you said would be like saying the King/Queen of England is part of Parliament, or that every member of Parliament has the same authority of a King/Queen.

Hierarchical lines have to be drawn, otherwise what is the point of having a King/Queen in the first place?

He's got only one Bilbo. He is a "duke of Bilbo", it's his title, and in order to show it - it's also became a part of his official name, together with Capua from royal family.
Therefore, he is a Duke of Bilbo, named "Zenjirou Bilbo Capua"
