So first they called her a boy, then they called her lady, but then she got in the bath and they were shocked because they thought she was a man?? I'm so confused

Translation of ungendered nouns and pronouns is hard for language that have them.

By example, take the words king and queen, the equivalent in japanese is only one word that is genderless (I'm actually not sure if the equivalent in japanese is genderless, just giving an example of how it can happen)

It's only a problem when translating the genderless title (sama) into a gendered one (lady).

It also makes a bit of sense to think Ursula was a boy at first, what with the dancing ritual and the fact that the rags were making her look completely flat, though it seems she's just flat in general. So they probably thought she was just an unkempt boy with overgrown hair, not a girl that is now more than ready to climb into bed with the MC.

Plus considering she's a spirit, they probably weren't treating it entirely like a human to begin with, though it seems she has very human desires.

Page 25, what in the world is going on with her mouth?

I feel like the use of neutral pronouns like they and them would've been better suited to referring to Ursula until the end rather than being confusing with randomly calling Ursula a boy at the start. Neutral pronouns are a valuable tool when you have no idea if someone is a boy or a girl, after all.

 

[LordofLeechers]

Alright, pervert ancient old man loli goddess shota land spirit acquired, I guess.

 

[Takerial]

It's only a problem when translating the genderless title (sama) into a gendered one (lady).

I feel like this is a case where the translator should have just left it as -sama instead of translating it to Lady.

It's not like most people reading this won't know what -sama is, and even if they don't, it won't cause the confusion of why they thought she was a boy but called her Lady.

 

[saredesu]

yay got a loli

It looks like she is sticking out her tongue.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Young boy, yet goddess.
I can't blame Nanase though, because that loli behaved like a perverted old man.
The bath scene was relevant to the plot. And boy, those plots are huge.
The loli is also joining the harem, why am I not suprised?

 

[coyote_vdb]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[habla]

I was gonna comment this boy is clearly a girl, but it already got resolved within the chapter

 

[NeverAnother]

YES! LOLI GODDESS LET’S GOOOOOOOO!

 

[Wizardrone]

thanks for chapter

 

[Buraindo]

sama?

 

[Le_Flemard]

sama?

Sama is a suffix for someone that you consider above your stature in a general sense.

But since you brought that up:
Mahou = magic
Mahou-sama = demon king/queen, a literal translation would be esteemed divine magic person.

 

[LuckyNChance]

Yep, its confusing.
