This is very impudent of me, and I understand it's to convey a nya speech naturally, but could we not have it take in the form of 'onee-nyama'? Especially since the use of Japanese honorifics in English in the first place is to retain its original intent as much as possible, keeping it but modifying it in a way that doesn't occur in the raw seems... odd (she uses onee-sama normally in the raw). Plus, she's been translated to say onee-sama in the previous chapters.
I don't mean to disparage the group or TL, big fan of your work and quality.
Inane rambling from a fan over.

Very minor, but I believe Inukai's title in the Sisterhood of Blood should actually be "Fourth Sister", considering the format of the introduction is the same as those for the rest of the members in ch20.

Anyway, how long has Inukai been in this world again? ~4.5 years? Keeping a wallet on his person with what might as well be worthless paper in this world that are in nearly mint condition this whole time is pretty amazing considering how much fighting he must've gone through.

Touched on an interesting idea. Did the isekai genre become popular because the economy and quality of life for young people in Japan declined? Does that apply to Millennials as a whole? Escapism from boomers, inflation, and no jobs?
You know i always thought about how in older anime and mangas like in Magic Knight Rayearth, Escaflowne and even Inuyasha the characters normaly didn't die before going to another world and they almost always have the goal of comming back home while in the modern isekai they almost always died to go to another world and either there's no way to come back or they don't even think about comming back, enjoying the new fantasy life more. It being a mirror of the insastifaction with current society could be an away to interpret it.


I'm still deeply in love with this flawed and perfct manga, thought i'm saddened that it seens my ship of onee-samaxgiant sister was sunk.

Thanks for the translations!

You weren't paying attention. The 3 servants are linked to Carla. Where do you think all their affection for Elis is coming from?
HOLY SHIT YOURE RIGHT, THE SUBCONSCIOUS OF CARLA IS MANIFESTING IN THE CREATURES BEHAVIOR LIKE WHEN DEMIHUMANS WITH TAILS WAG IT WHEN THEYRE HAPPY

So the one-armed MC isn't end game with either the giant or the demon lord girl? or is this a 3-way polygamy angle between all three?

Are we fr not getting any flashback of how we could come to this point? I'm especially curious about how and why windy ends up and stays on MC side after her statement of hatred prior (probably a truce to fight with MC sister, but still i would want to know the detail). Hyped for the update nonetheless 😅
Next chapter is about Wendy.

Even old series like Digimon had their protagonists have the goal of going back home.

Current isekai having the protags instantly forget/don't care about their old lives and connections is very telling about current society.

I believe that before one gets a car license and in the formal/governmental lecture, a common rule number one is to not hesitate and ehm, kill the cat, rather than panicking or something and causing an incident.

Usually the cats know what they're doing and it's better than killing sentient people.

The shittier real life is, the greater the appeal of escape.

Similarly, the popularity of the slow life and slice of life genres reflect a desire to escape the 24/7 daily grind.

This is what had me re-reading the chapter. I thought maybe I misinterpreted, because I absolutely thought this was going an onee-sama ship route. I woulf have sooner thought Elis and Carla were fighting for who gets to date Onee-sama, and that they weren't into each other in that regard. But it seems like, no, little sister x little sister is what's happening?

I'm torn on the desire for flashbacks. Like another commenter, I appreciate the pacing and the progess. It's lovely to see the characters in a new stage. But with stuff like this development/reveal, I'm really left wanting some explanations or context to how we got here. I swear Elis only ever seemed interested in her onee-sama. And carla might've had a begrudging respect for elis at most. Now i wonder if i totally failed comprehension in earlier chapters

to be fair all the evidence we've seen here from miss shipper has been only Carla crushing on Elis; nor am i throwing away the Chekhov's "Demon practice polygamy" line

on the other hand im very much into this development. Wasn't fully sure how i felt about elis x oneesama but elis x carla is definitely a superior pairing to me now. Plus, I'm interested in seeing if they'll actually pull off a classic yuri confession in such an action-focused manga
