Sorry this took longer to materialise, I was busy updating other manga (one especially, I had to redraw the whole thing twice!)
anyhow, enjoy.

Thanks for the chapter!
I feel like there was some deep-seated resentment in this chapter towards how you'd be forced into Pokemon battles as soon as a trainer saw you. Which is true; the fact you can't simply decline is rude.

Not only that, i think I explained it badly, but I find it amusing the author is stating the creatures here are simply subservient servants meant to work for their tamers lol. Even the kid who called his creatures 'friends' uses the word 'use' (like just a tool) when asking about which creature Domina gonna send out and had no qualms about hurting his 'friends'

ngl I really thought it's gonna be about bestiality

Regarding the T/N on the name: "burasu" in Japanese can be how both the German words "blass" and "blase" are spelled in katakana as they're similarly pronounced. The former already noted as meaning "pale" while the latter mean "bladder"

Domina does use term "slaves" on pages 9 and 14 of your translation and it kind of feels like Domina is supposed to be the most sane/realist/mature of the 5 tamers (all 4 male tamers are very Chūnibyō) in the chapter even though she is a bit loony herself. The entire chapter kind of points out how sadistic taming and monster battling is which plays into the reinterpretation of taming as an S&M subculture.

Edit: One minor thing is that I feel like "Tamer of Tamers" works better as a title than "Tamer's Tamer."

the three 'legendary' actually speaks in very archaic tone when introducing themselves, but again, despite in Japanese where there's tons of words for first person pronouns, it's still just 'I' in English, so I was trying to project how they speak rather than making them chuunibyou. The last one is actually a kid, despite the speculation on the MTL version of comments that it's an elf or something. The text literally refers to him as a child.
Domina does uses the term 奴隷 literally. I only translate what's given.

Using an archaic tone (talking like a samurai or ninja) is actually one of the various ways of being chuuni. So you did project the intent properly especial when Domina follows up by telling them to use their real names and species shortly after. As for the kid being chunni, he is a child in the 12 to 14 age range.

No, that's not it at all, the archaic tone here isnt an expression of chuunibyou, but a symbol of their station: leader of darkness, wolf king of divine(god) realm, and legendary dragon.

Those titles and the names (Belial, Fenrir and Bahamut) they originally give are chuuni in themselves. Rex and Belma even react like they read a bunch of bad fanfiction when the read the forms on page 10. I'm pretty certain that the three male tamers are meant to come off as incredibly cringy S&M subs/slaves until the twist reveals that they are legitimately strong tamers that Domina has "tamed."

My read is that Domina has made it her duty to manage troublemaking tamers and Orima just happens to be her newest project.

I really like your translation notes! Almost wish they were a bit bigger; they're fun to read in their own regard!

 

[Hoezell]

My final impression about this chapter is:

Ayo, WTF?

 

[Nolzi]

Who tames the tamer?

Yeah, my interpretation is that Dartel is a human who roleplays as Belial, the Leader of Darkness of the Noble Demon Race, because he's a skilled Beast Tamer who commands demon beasts. Basically like how that kid roleplays as a some sort of a Pokémon Master.

Thanks for the translation! Love reading the TL notes too!

Gotta love how the literal sex demon gets weirded out.
