Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru tame ni wa Shudan o Erandeiraremasen—Dai-3 Bu: Ryouchi ni Hon o Hirogeyou! - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - A Noble's Daughter

[Mitsu13]

I don't think it's ever clarified, but Ferdinand is just conforming perfectly to the beauty canon of the world, plus he had to be charming to survive due to his situation while growing up. There is a short chapter that showed how he had to hide his true self to Veronica since he was a child.
There is also the fact that Elvira has a lot of imagination as the later chapters will show

Spoiler: Later chapters/parts

(she is THE most successful and prolific writer of romance novels when she begins to be involved in the printing industry)

so Ferdinand's distance from the rest of noble society is perfect for her imagination to run wild. Iirc there is also a story from his time at the academy, but I don't remember the details/don't know if it's ever been revealed in details.

Ferdinand is the "JPop/KPop" idol of that country, and it doesn't hurt that he's her husband's cousin, so she has that forbidden relationship fetish working full time in her imagination.

I see, thank you. I'm a bit disappointed it's the same "because of his look" just like the other women.

Spoiler: Later chapters

Myne's adoptive mother is not this bad, but Elvira is really down bad.

I wonder if her husband knows about it.

Spoiler: Part 5

Karsted clarifies later that he knows and he doesn't care, their marriage was never one of love, and while they get along better thanks to Myne, they never develop into full-blown romance. Elvira herself clarifies that her imagination is something she knows she will not act on, it's her refuge from her original situation that was pretty shitty due to Karsted second wife.
In fact she's one of the most ardent supporter of the perceived Ferdinand/Myne romance

 

[WhimsiCat]

Yes, in the prologue of the 1st book of part 3, there's a pretty good explanation

Spoiler: explanation

Basically Ferdinand gives Myne a medical exam and since she "died" when Urano took over, her body has a bunch of hard clumps of mana. Those are restricting the normal flow, which cause her to collapse when she's overly emotional. The conclusion is they need to get the ingredients for a jureve to cure her.

Spoiler

It's not only when Urano came in, but the repeated 'near-death' fever built up those clumps.

Urano just came in when she literally died and even after she became Myne each time she collapsed and had to push back the fever she was building up more clumps then.

Her aub-level mana capacity is, ironically, due to the many times she performed 'mana compression' to survive the fever.

 

[niteman555]

Someone please make sense of what Eckhart said. We later see that Ferdinand and Karstedt were close enough in age to take baths together as children, so how could Karstedt's second son, a grown man, be close in age to Ferdinand? They have to be over a decade apart in age.

I don't think that's literal. Just a way to show Rihyarda caring for all three of them. Sylvester is like 5 years older than Ferdinand and Karstedt's son Eckhart is roughly as old as Ferdinand.

THANKS for the chapter!!!!
I've been waiting for your translation. Keep up the good work!

I am disappointed they skipped through one of my favorite scenes of part 3 in the novel where Myne double teams with Beno to upsell stuff to Elvira

Will it be said why Elvira liked Ferdinand so much? Other women are understandable, but Elvira is always dignified, so it feels weirder.

Spoiler

First you have to truly understand her position. In the woman's circle, the one who was in control was Veronica(sulvesters mother). Elvira is effectively the head of the opposition faction from the women side. And Veronica made her life miserable.

Her husband being the Aub's retainer stayed neutral and focused mostly on work neglecting her. Her sons were all men so she was kind of all alone in her struggle. And Aub's wife while being friendly(Veronica hated he too) could also only stay neutral due to being Aub's wife.

So from her perspective she likely wanted Fernand to become Aub over Sylvester. Even more so since she saw how well he performed in school. Because if Fernand became Aub and got rid off Veronica, it would go a long way to improve her life

And that is kind of also why she is so friendly towards Myne. Because thanks to Myne, her life changed around.

1. Thanks to Myne, they got rid of Veronica
2. Her husband knew little about women affairs so he came back home more often to consult her about Myne's situation
3. She has a daughter to share her burden with not to mention Aub's wife officially joined them due to no more conflict of interests

So while she may seem dignified now, it was mostly a testament to how much hardship and suffering she went through

I appreciate anyone's work to translate this series since I enjoy reading and rereading it, but Toor's scans always does superior quality work and it shows. Thank you!

 

[wakanana]

I see, thank you. I'm a bit disappointed it's the same "because of his look" just like the other women.

Ferdinand is also kind of a tragic story that women pine to have a happy ending.

I know I waited after the end of part 2 for Toor Scans to start part 3... But now that I've started part 3 it is so hard to resist pressing that Next Chapter button...

Trust me that next chapter button is poisoned. The translation quality is sooo bad it gave me a headache.
Official one is better, but still.

Much as I wish to go through Part 3 faster (for a different reason), the three of us still only have a limited amount of time to scanlate, 3 weeks is pretty much pushing now (Not counting beta reading process). I'm already relying on AI to redraw some of these hard panels (Try to spot them), and all I can hope is that there won't be too many in the future :v

Yeah, I understand that carefully scanlating something like this is tough. You guys have to have lives, too. I'm reading this on a website for free (well... I do throw mangadex itself a few bucks a month...), so I'm not complaining.

I'm just hoping that making the memes will help me resist the temptations. And I thought it was funny to want to avoid the next chapter button considering the amount of memes I see about people wondering where the next chapter button is.

Speaking of which...

Trust me that next chapter button is poisoned. The translation quality is sooo bad it gave me a headache.

Was her sister's name translated as Tuuli previously? Coulda sworn it was still Turi till the end of Part 2 in your TLs, did you just decide to not change it mid-run but fix it now that we're in a new part, or something?

You're not wrong, TOOR scans was definitely using Turi in the past few chapters of Dai-2 Bu.

1. Dai-2 Bu chapter 63 page 3, 4, 7, 13, 18, 21
2. Dai-2 Bu chapter 64 page 12
3. Dai-2 Bu chapter 64.5 page 2, 23

edit: gah, re-reading the last few chapters in reverse order was painful...

There were several reasons that we stuck to Turi until the end of Part 2, mostly coming down to Fulldiver's research that satisfied the usage of it. However, by the end of Part 2, we can clearly see her name spelled in Ehrenfest alphabet (5 letters), making it harder to maintain the old TL in the event that her name pops up in letter somewhere else down the line. As such, we decided to just go with Tuuli starting from Part 3 to simplify the work.
