Goblin Is Very Strong - Vol. 4 Ch. 26

[JavelinJoe]

So basicly, what you are saying is that, for some time now, she has been infected with a symbiotic, but parasitic lifeform? Which grants situational immortality? For no significantly notable cost as of yet? Yeah, that does not add up. Someone will get screwed by that thing in the end.

@JavelinJoe
Sounds like they tried to basically become immortal (coffins+reviving) but wound up fucking with angels, a power they can't really control

I think these angel 'eggs' are just waiting to hatch at the proper moment.

think drakengard seeds of hope

 

[Kyte]

Sounds like the humans' resurrection power is just a side effect of God protecting the attached angel.
Also given Aki sometimes goes all killbot mode complete with cross-shaped eyes there's a decent chance the angel is actually affecting her through the link even before it's born. Birth might actually mean it takes over her body or something.

@JavelinJoe just fyi something can't be symbiotic and parasitic at the same time. Both describe the same physical relationship (two organisms attached such that they share functions in some way) but a symbiosis refers to a mutually beneficial relationship while parasitism refers to only side benefitting.

Bloody property taxes. Always too high.

 

[Oeconomist]

Still more confusion of “then” for “than”.

 

[JavelinJoe]

@Kyte
I meant parasite as in the organism, not the concept.

 

[Isshiki_Kotonashi]

@JavelinJoe
I suppose the proper term would be "symbiote"?

 

[yurirei]

Even I, the one is not native, still think this translation is a bit clunky. Kinda annoyed now.

 

[Oeconomist]

@JavelinJoe, @Isshiki_Kotonashi—

A symbiotic organism is not called a “parasite”; it is called a “symbiont”. (I occasionally see “symbiote” as a variant.) Since symbiosis is mutually beneficial, all involved organisms are symbionts; for example, you are a symbiont of the gut bacteria that is helpful to you.

These next few chapters are going to be interesting to read. Lots of plot, lots of twists, lots of everything Aki and Mimit. *Straps on a seatbelt and gets ready for the wild ride.*

 

[BobTheSkrull]

I had to go back and read the first two pages, though that's not on the translator. It didn't hit me what those incomplete notes were until I started making the connection between the monster cores and the egg.

 

[RARKNAZ]

is it me or are this series getting REALLY weird?

 

[Cypher27]

What I got is:
1. The Demon lord was likely human in the past;
2. he reserached the light in search of immortality;
3. by connecting the light with a box he created the coffins;
4. the light doesn't comes from God;
5. there's a price to pay from using it.

 

[deedet]

It's taking some nice depth

 

[berubetto]

@Oeconomist - Would you agree that a symbiotic organism could take a turn for the parasitic? Hmmm, but here we're talking about a species with a known potential pattern so I suppose that doesn't directly come into play...

So before the angel takes over the hero, would the relationship be pseudo-symbiotic? Pre-parasitic?

 

[Oeconomist]

@berubetto—

Basically, I agree with you.

An organism that over the course of a normal lifecycle would do more harm than good should be classified as a parasite rather than as a symbiont. That is to say that a symbiont could only become a parasite as a result of something abnormal.

Your suggested term “pseudo-symbiotic” seems good; what first occurred to me was “quasi-symbiotic” (on a thought that the cycle might be interrupted by action of the other organism). I think that “pre-parasitic” is dicier, but serviceable.

 

[Onsokumaru]

Mmm, I love this development.
I'm getting Madoka Magica vibes.

@Lilliwyt

The vocal minority who'd complain about ostentatious credits pages also started the crusade on their grammar. lol It's not unfounded but it is exaggerated.

I have actually read a lot of SquigglesJP and the group IIRC seems to have different staff for different series(a lot of groups do of course), and if those members have changed over time, it's both for better and for worse. Most of their work that I've read has had zero issues. But the ones that did were bad enough that I'd contemplate dropping the series at times(and did, at least twice).

 

[ngkn92]

The text is really hard to read
I have to use "magnifier" on PC to read the text

However
Thank for the hard work.

 

[Tsukinotaku]

This was supposed to be some cute, somewhat gory, shoujo-ai romance but now it suddenly got really deep and has hints of ancient conspiration happening...
