I was too tired to put this in a QR code in the notes (read: I forgot), but if you wanna hear the yubikiri rhyme:

Someone please get rid of that selfish good-for-nothing "mother". Man, I can't smell anything but tragedy in here now.

Thanks a lot for the translation!

I'm confused about the death of Tsubaki's friend. Did she kill herself? Did that man kill her and then himself? Did they kill each other in a tussle? And having Tsubaki debut right after witnessing such a gruesome scene is so cruel. I knew her childhood must have been hard, but I wasn't expecting anything of that nature...

So... all that implication back then is what ? just a fake red flag and mangaka never intend that much for them, just want to spice thing up ? or just some mistranslate ?

was expect these brothel out to do a lot more to scam MC, but seem like they just give up just like that ?
i mean even if they success, MC is daughters of rich family, how much they expect a little girl get access to her rich family money to begin with ? to even "we will able to ring every last scent of their family" by just make her a customer and expect her to pay ?

the knife is very close to the man hand, so he probably kill her and himself. plus the comment "he always go too far" So we only know it is all on this guy. Why ? it lack too many information, in just couple of panel, feel like mangaka not even think of a reason to begin with, I think mangaka just reply on the fact that life is complicated and dangerous and they have to serve all kind of unknow people to explain them, because all of this is only to serve as Tsubaki's origin, it doesn't seem to be more detail about it gonna come later

(apologies for word vomit. Spent too much time thinking about this scene the last couple days)

The original Japanese is quite vague about it, so I did my best not to make the English any more or less explicit. (and spent a while trying to find anything definitive, since it’s hard to translate ambiguity accurately)

I think there are a few things at play. For one, we only get everyone’s initial reaction to the scene. The matron and Tsubaki are just taking in the information in front of them, the same as us. So it makes sense that everything they say is just inferring. We don’t get any kind of follow up, beyond Tsubaki processing losing her one friend.

This is just my own interpretation, but I kind of take it to mean, it doesn’t matter whether she killed herself or was murdered. In both cases, her environment killed her. On the other hand, even if she was murdered, the other prostitutes and the matron may still hold her accountable.

Having said all that, the chapter does make a point of establishing Yae’s tendency to fight back and speak her mind (Tsubaki even basically saying to her, “you’re going to get yourself hurt”). Given the knife is right by the man’s hand, and one of the other girl’s comments indicates the man had a reputation of some kind, my best guess is that she stood up for herself in some way, and things escalated one way or another.

God no wonder Tsubaki wanted to dream for a little while with Ayano.
She's never been wanted in her life, and the only person who did got murdered?! If this series doesn't end with some kind of suicide I'll be really surprised...

 

[Kamui]

I wonder if the former Oiran will have a role to play later on.

Beyond that, poor Tsubaki.

Yes, when it comes to the dialogues they simply react to the scene. Context-wise, just because no matter the country prostitution is paying for abusing someone men killing women is just a daily occurence that happens for the mere trivial reasons. The most common situation in this context is either the man wanting to be the only owner but not being able to afford it or no longer being able to keep paying for it at all. So yes, the environment is a good way to surmise it.

Thanks for the translation!

This chapter got me crying fr

 

[axelmania]

Thanks for the chapter! I don't know, something about the hopeless turn it's taken makes me think something positive has to come next.
