Henlo. Please pick this up so Aku and Ren could meet up in the future. Maybe.
Due to popular demand (two people), I've decided to change fonts. The reason I used the Noto Serif JP before is because I'm trying to match the original JP fonts, which are humanist/old style serif fonts (if I got the term correctly) for hiragana and katakana, but sans serif for Kanji. Modern English doesn't have different character system IIRC so I chose a serif font. Nevertheless, I guess western audience would like western comic fonts more since you're used to it.
For other fonts, I found very similar ones so I'll be sticking with them.
For those who think some phrases sound rough or too literal, it's because I chose to. In this chapter, there are phrases like "riding the winning horse" (勝ち馬に乗る = kachiuma ni noru = winning horse to ride on) in page 3. It means picking the winning side, which isn't that far from the JP phrase. Why I do this is because in my "translation", I want to slowly share Japanese culture including how they structure their sentences, their versions of idioms, and some key words often used in manga/anime, instead of finding every equivalent/closest word/meaning in our dictionary.
Page 4
負け組 (makegumi) = defeat/loss + class/group/set -> as a loser (of society/group)
Page 9-10
負け犬 (makeinu) = defeat/loss + dog -> also mean loser, but literally loser dog. I chose "loser dog" to differentiate from makegumi.
Page 10
The first two posts at the top left panel are using the term オワコン (owakon), which is a slang and abbreviation for 終わったコンテンツ (owatta kontentsu), which means finished content, but also something that was once popular but not anymore, past its prime etc. I used "completely dead" and "expectedly dead" to drive a similar point that can fit in a small panel.
Page 14
Aerios, Flame of Soetta. The original is ソエッタの火 (soetta no hi), but the LN translated it to just Sotta. Dunno if its even important or not , but I'm just pointing this out.
Page 18-19 spread and chapter title
百戦無敗 (hyakusen muhai) = 100 battles (literally)/countless battles, no defeat. Perfect record.

These losers are going to die thinking that their great enemy is someone he's not.

I never get tired of the "cute girl with big weapon ready to just kill you" trope
It's funny how just a single "You're standing before the king" got misunderstood and locked on the other person to the point that others are suddenly absolutely sure that "it's exactly that guy", and any attempt to say otherwise brushed off.
They never even saw mercenary king without an armor, right? What makes them think that he suddenly appear to challenge them without his signature?
That's the power of groundless rumours, and thug's particularly smooth brains! lol

the fonts are good as they are now and the translations for the other things are good, you dont need to replace everything with similar stuff (like the idiom thing ... the winning horse won is really common too ... maybe do a translation footnote on the side if they are too niche/rare and its gucci), because most people should know anyway by now (ojou-sama would be a random example).

If I was those extras I’d be running as far away as possible as quickly as I possibly could from the muderizing she will be doing

this feels like Sebas from Overlord against the six arms, but lamer looking villains
What's even funnier it's that the real King is a SHE and already dead as seen in chapter 42 when Akane crossed paths with her.
And with Sebas one idiot from the six arms clung to the idea that all his power must have come from his pair of gloves. Would be funny if some idiot also clung to the idea that Ren is weak and it all boils down to her overpowered spear.
