Should have just left the text in Japanese, it would have made just as much sense to an English reader as this translation does. Did people really accept this quality back in 2019?
Thanks for the translation. Just a heads up though "him" and "her" aren't interchangeable in English. You've translated the MC using "him" to refer to established female characters (MC should be using "her") for the last couple chapters.
I'm not sure if the original is just written badly or it's the translation, but the grammar and flow of the dialogue is completely all over the place. It barely makes sense without having to retranslate it into actual English in your head.
I live in Australia so I'm quite familiar with a deadly sun as well as beaches. Almost every single brand of sunscreen we have here is waterproof for up to 4 hours. A combination of moisture repellent polymers and skin safe adhesives (like beeswax) are added to the cream so it doesn't wash off...
Not sure what happens in the later chapters as I read through this for the first time, but there's literally nothing to suggest that it's been anything other than friendship up until this point.
