I think something like this is usually just called "not fresh", but that does kinda sound clunky.

Oh really? Interesting, I personally read it as there being a clear enough distinction even in the story. My thought reading this was that Kariya just detailed the kanten part because making it from scratch is something that most people would not do, and not everyone would be familiar with the...

Well, in the chapter Ooishi made a comment about tokoroten having a taste of the sea, which is characteristic of tokoroten and would not happen with kanten. So I do think Kariya did know that kanten and tokoroten are made with different methods, not just the same food in different shapes. The...

Thanks for the chapter. Have fun on vacation! Food note is a bit wrong. Tokoroten is not just kanten cut into strips. It's actually the reverse. Kanten is dried tokoroten (freeze-dried, to be exact). Though the error is kind of in the chapter too. I'm not sure if the author screwed up again, or...

Rereading this. I did think that "Willem" sounded Dutch, so if they're actually Dutch-based rather than German then I assume the son's name is meant to be "Rombout".

Rereading this and I was thinking, I wonder if someday there'd be a chapter about sunglasses. Coloured glass has not been mentioned or discussed yet, but they should be able to pull it off if they can make telescope and corrective lenses.

This is old and plus I do know the misunderstanding about why the church condemned Galileo is very common, and the facts is a bit hard to unravel, but it's still really annoying to see. Like, no, the church was not against science in real life. The issue about why Galileo came under fire is...

No, the fairy's name is literally Ma-sha マーシャ in the raw. Maybe it's explained better in the novel or something, but she's exclusive to the published version and not the original webnovel so I can't check.

TL;DR that's because the goddess's name is actually Matsuo, it's just not explained properly. The readers are expected to identify actual god's name which is written on the shrine plaque and make the connection, but the scanlator screwed up (maybe because they used Google or AI, who knows)...

Thank you for the translation.

Not liking the girl's attitude and the reason why she's following him seems forced, but she has a point. A cafe and lodging in the middle of nowhere looks weird as heck.

Yeah... While I do enjoy Korean barbecue, when the beef is premium quality, dunking it in marinade and spice and sauce just feels like a huge huge waste to me. The natural beef flavour is good on its own. Now if it's just a regular grocery store beef, then by all means, all the seasonings would...

Ah, that was where the small window comes to play. The teacher specified that both lamps have to be in view to put the lamps out. So by limiting their vision to just one lamp with the pods, even if they both light the lamps it won't put out. So if they both panic and use magic, then both of...

That's rude AF for her to just destroy signs like that. LIKE i get she was desperate, but bruh.

You're forgetting the part that the teacher is right there to cause confusion. He used his lighter and the trick with the glass to make it look like the lamps lit up. The set up here is meant to make the test-taker panic, thinking they've been betrayed, and then light up the lamp for real in...
