I Picked Up This World's Strategy Guide - Ch. 13 - The Ball Begins

Thanks for the chapter! : D

The mangaka has another ongoing series Beloved Kunitama and basically does a volume of one and then a volume of the other.

We got about 10 pages a week on the raws for this chapter, but we also wait for the entire chapter before posting.

So we're looking at 6 chapters over the next 5 or so months (~10 pages a week, ~30 pages for a chapter, 6 chapters for the volume, 18 weeks total) and then another 10 month break?

The other day I was thinking about how it'd been a while since I'd seen anything out of this series, but I couldn't remember the name of it to check on its status.

Thanks, I love it.

Thanks for the chapter! I was afraid the hiatus was permanent.

This really has such Cinderella vibes all over it. Just imagine all maids being singing mice and you have the Disney version.

"I need to avoid him at all costs!"

Good luck with that.

Being in the Prince's shoes, either you believe the legend, or you believe you're sent off on a mission to die.

"Since their armour is made using molten metal..."

So they're using a blast furnace. Or some metal with a lower melting point than steel.

Aw yeah, maybe having a book with maps of the entire castle and the names, habits, likes/dislikes and professions of everyone in the city might be construed as something a spy would have.

Nah, I think you're reaching. It's perfectly normal to have a book like that.

The king looked kinda creepy

 

[Serverclosed]

It returned! Let's fucking go!

Praise be, this series lives!

So they're using a blast furnace. Or some metal with a lower melting point than steel.

We struggled a bit with this one, the raws use 溶岩 (Yougan) which literally means "Lava" which is even more absurd IMO and doesn't really match the imagery.
So we went with molten metal because the whole "pouring the stream of molten metal into a flat mold" trope is pretty prevalent in movies and video games (no matter how impractical it is) and I have offhandedly heard molten metal referred to as "lava" no matter how incorrect that is.

No idea. We'll have to see. For Volume 2 the digital and physical releases of the volume came out before all of the chapter 12 parts had released on ComicWalker, so Kekesed and I are just kinda over here going "welp we'll get to it when we have them"

Hiatus over, we're back, the ball has started. Yay.
Also as mentioned on the credits page Acacia is Australia's national flower. Since it's also Escador's I joked I would start giving everyone Australian accents in PR.

WOOOOO! STRAYA REPRESENT!

 

[homemadespoon]

I'm so glad this manga is back!!

 

[MasterPannya]

My favorite not!Estelle manga is back!

 

[Sommeguy]

No way, I've been dying for an update to this for SO LONG!!! Thank you for the chapter!!! 😍😍😍

 

[CapnAndy]

Death to hiatus! Sana forever!

 

[Tavero]

We are back boys let's gooooo.
Finally a new chapter

 

[EchoGirl]

That name she used was totally that guy’s hidden identity only known to a few or something, Sana stop spoiling the plot it was supposed to be a huge reveal in chapter 14

Feels like something like that would be a footnote but yeah hopefully the guide she has doesnt fall in to the wrong hands

 

[grrman]

Oh dang, it's back. Been a hot minute

 

[SilverVirtuo]

IT'S BACK! Thank you for translation 😁
