Still can't meet the challenge of always offsetting vocatives with punctuation, eh?

Why is there misplaced dialect and obvious wrong choice of putting military time instead of regular time. This one isn’t based in the countryside so it shouldn’t be bloody well and 21 tonight or 16 today. Hint it should be 4 today and 9 tonight. Also getting rid of the faux English dialect. It just doesn’t work. Can’t expect a decent translation from this at all

The Japanese word sensei means teacher, not master. It can only be translated as master in very specific context like in martial arts. Otherwise the correct translation is teacher.

Oh man this was...difficult to get through. I know this was your first time and all but some proofreading was in order. And if you did, then I don't think it was very thorough.

Nevertheless, thank you for the translation. But I hope you seriously consider what others and myself have said regarding the translation.

I agree with everything you said except the military time? Isn't it called like that just for American people? most of the world use the 24 hour clock so it actually isn't a problem 👀

In writing, maybe, but people don't go around saying "meet me at twenty", they say "meet me at eight", because we aren't robots and have contextual clues to know whether it is morning or evening.
