Fake Saint of the Year: You Wanted the Perfect Saint? Too Bad! - Ch. 35

Damn I didn't realize turtle bro appeared so late into the story.

The later parts of the novels sort of gaslighted me into thinking he was always there as recurring character, with how much importance they give him. Now seeing it in manga form, the later events now make him seem like a deus ex machina plot device.

 

[geistchevalier]

Do they speak in reverse in the japanese raw too?

 

[AnotherDuck]

"If you don't know, there is unlikely to be a mage who knows the answer."

So she's the foremost source of knowledge? And then he proceeds to explain a lot of things she doesn't know.

A train's main purpose is bulk transport. A train just for the royal family seems weird. And a railway is kind of hard to keep secret.

Sound so convincing being told they will protect her when they're being taken away by the monsters.

Someone finally calls her a fake saint.

I haven’t seen the raw, but assuming they speak backwards in Japanese as well, reversing it in English as well is a nice touch.

it doesn't tell us right now, but propheter is female...

no, what he means is Erise is most proficient in magic in that world, so if something Erise doesn't know, there's probably no one know, but the prophet doesn't use the power of magic, they use the power of the world itself

for the steam locomotion, it has been described more clearly in the novel. this steam locomotion is a lost technology that was excavated from a ruined empire, the only steam locomotion right now is here, it connects the kingdom to the place where the propheter live, so it's not strange no one discovered it until now, since only royalty know about propheter and they basically went there once in a while

A tutel 🐢!

 

[zeinzki]

i know most of the Writter using random emojis as their pfp. but damm, Turtle lmao (i like the idea that Prophet here is just manifestations of writer depending their icon they used lmao)

 

[Elhao]

Profeta is about as on the nose as a name can get

Overall very good reverse translation, considering it can't really be automated and would have to be checked entirely manually (words spanning several lines were hard to read, that is on me though), I only found typos on page 14: KHAHT UOY and KHANT UOY should both be KNAHT UOY.

The Game creator appears!

 

[WonderingSFaiz]

Well it's not Gamera, but you'll do just fine Mr turtle

 

[damadicius]

What a big dog

so it's not strange no one discovered it until now

But I mean, these are rail tracks, the way topology works, if like two villages are divided by the tracks, they'd have to either go all the way around the capital so to not discover the tracks, or they would just cross straight through rail, and then it is not unreasonable to decide to follow along them

The reverse text was surprisingly burdensome to read.

The propheter lives in a deep forest, the railway goes straight into the forest that normal people won't go into because of the threat of the demon, also the king in ancient time has made a contract with the propheter to protect them and in return, the propheter would tell them when and who the saint is in each generation, so I think the area that the propheter has been kept off limit for generations

Do remember that just prior to Elrise un-apocalypticting the world, it was in every sense of the word fucked. Basically the only places even remotely safe was human cities and travel between cities was an extremely dangerous thing so people wouldn't be randomly exploring places and trade routes would be strictly followed. Hence, a small rail system only accessing 2 points in unknown territory wouldn't be too hard to hide.

thanks for the translation!

[Antinomy]
