i think it's more the magical translation spell or whatever is taking a phrase they have there and changing it to something mc would recognize. like how he said that person's japenese was perfect. it's likely filling in and altering idioms as well.
Said it before and i'll say it again, Japan REAAAAALLLLLY needs to have a long hard discussion about all the slavery in their fantasy manga. it's quite concerning.
just gonna echo what others have said and say that the world building here is amazing. so many side characters are fully fleshed out and seeing moments like this where everything interconnects is so cool. in a way it kind of reminds me of the mushishi anime that really did amazing with building...
As a oneshot there is waaaaaaaaaaay too much going on. The story is kinda intriguing so as a potential pilot/elevator pitch it works, but i feel like it should have cut a few things so it didn't feel so disjointed and half complete.
thank you for the translation! what a lovely little series. just a fun, chill, and laid back series full of floofs. sad to see it wrap up, but i'm glad it left on a good note and didn't just circle the drain endlessly.
