@Aoitenshi It's beautifully translated, thank you.
Then on to the this side story written by Atekichi for volume 1: these side stories are often bad! It's not the case here though. It ties in super well with what we've just read! I think the personalities of Celesti/Melody (total lack of common sense) and Luciana (rage!) are captured perfectly. The refuge in audacity style humor is spot on here as well to go along with the rest of the volume. Finally, I'll just point out the ridiculousness that this side chapter is titled, "Short Novel: Making a Torture Tool That Sheds No Blood," so a little gallows humor/dark humor has been thrown in as well.
