Another juicy chapter. The appearance of Diorasis, Leah, and many more interesting one to come bless my day.
I can't wait for knight fall.

Like always Literal_Genie you guys are doing god's work, this amazing series sure deserves the dedication you are putting on it. And going by what you and many others say this series seems to be a hell to translate and adapt because of the complexity of the story and the language it originally was written.

The silver-haired woman in this chapter ( forgot her name ) is completely right, Anne has a talent to attract troublesome and obsessive men, and all the ones interested in her are more than a little strong and crazy for what i can say. ( looking at Dry here, they guy can be possessive XD ).

But if they want to anchor this gal they will need some over the top determination, Anne too is a difficult one.

Thanks for the chapter

I read it, feel the emotion and the tension, but don't understand a single thing what they're talking about.

Anyone can explain it in a simple way of what happening in this chapter?

@alacaelum Seriously, thanks for reading! And thank god that there are translators like /u/GiggleMaster that want to work on this.

As for your comment about the language, it's definitely a bit hellish to translate. For exposition dumps like these, I've heard even from natives that it's a bit hard to follow. My Korean is far from adequate, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe the biggest issue is that the author is intentionally vague / fragmented in a lot of the dialogue. And to make matters worse, the author can also pack a lot of details into small bubbles, forcing us translators to pick and choose which details to keep (hence why you'll often see bubbles with little to no margins).

Admittedly, for this chapter in particular though, I may have bullshitted the proofread. That is, I kept most of the vagueness + literal meaning, especially for the bubbles that we ourselves weren't too sure on.

---

@rennov Sorry about that. Like I mentioned above, I wasn't following some of the dialogue myself so I kept the literal translation. I also could've cleaned up the english a bit more, but it was a rush job.

Hopefully this summary of the main points helps:

Scene 1 - Luna Project Ship:[ul][li]The Union's prototype ship appears equipped with Great War Tech[/li][ul][li]Tech was developed (actually restored) by the PPP.[/li][li]The Delta Logic radar is capable of detecting even the hidden Observers' ship.[/li][/ul][li]The Observer group now recognizes the PPP's tech as threat.[/li][ul][li]One of the Observers is a 100-year-old super-baddy that's fought the (crumbling) Human Alliance.[/li][/ul][/ul]Scene 2 - The Observers, Dan (the man) and Duran (the woman):[ul] The biggest thing is that Duran claims Anne will become healthy. The rest of the dialogue is essentially a recap of the last fight. [/ul]Scene 3 - Leah Zail (the chick on the current cover art) and the Cold Heroes:[ul] The cold heroes, likely under the orders of Dry, retrieve some sealed object that those two heroes sealed themselves*.[/ul]

* Just noticed that this was a mistranslation on my part. I phrased it as if Leah sealed the object, but it was actually the heroes.

Thanks as always!

@Aigoose...

Oh, ha3... No need to apology. It's also my fault for not knowing the KR universe well. N it's common for me to not understand extra story of each arc (but this is the first where I don't understand anything, ha3).

Thank u very much for the explanation... Now I understand much better what they're talking about... Good luck for the next arc _(- -)_

 

[alacaelum]

@Aigoose Wow, now i understand a little more of your suffering, not only you have to deal with the already infernal task of adapting a language full of nuances but the sadistic douchebag of an author that makes this series likes to keep things vague were even his(her?) native-speaking readers have difficulty following.

This is another level of douchebaggery.

Again i really thank you for giving your time to translate this, even if the story is naturally confusing you and your team really do an amazing job to this community of fans, and your little endnotes are always fun to read ( i can feel your pain true them when things get confusing XD)

 

[Karellen]

amazing chapter, thank you so much as usual, and looking forward to finally being able to understand whats going on in knight fall eventually haha

 

[lvthn616]

Thanks @Aigoose , Knight Run is sure raise questions in the epilogue (like how they have the prism cloaking ship?)

 

[dreminh]

@Aigoose many thank, that alot of text need to b e clean

 

[dichologos]

Thanks for the update! Exposition must be difficult to translate, but in a series like this it is very important that it be translated.

After all: the story can be difficult to follow unless we pay attention to the smallest details.

Keep up the good work.
