I thought we have more chapters untranslated, but apparently this is the lastest chapter... well not really, there is still a paid chapter and an extra about madam and saint white before that.

Yep. Can't wait for Volume 12. :pepehmm: I hope they release the whole thing again while they're trickling down the individual chapters. :dogkek:
Also, the extra has a troublesome panel for me. :notlikethis:

I might do the missing chapters but don't hold yer breath.

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 (makegumi) = defeat/loss + class/group/set -> as a loser (of society/group)

Page 9-10
負け (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 (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. :meguupog:
It's pretty well done so far so thanks. There is s miss spell of her where it should say "Don" instead it says "Do" over do it.

"undefeated in a hundred battle" is kinda low...specially when they always go on about how he and his aids killed millions of players in the game.

"Undefeated in a hundred battles" is a title, commonly used by warriors in legends.
Specifically this is referring to the sun tzu quote of "know thy enemy, know thy self and find victory in 100 battles".
Basically, ren is hakuto's ultimate warrior and likely strategist, or another name for it, she's the second in command and second to last boss in games that usually poses a bigger threat than the final boss.

"surrender now" implied you had the intention of sparing those that actually surrender. and i dont think Ren here has no intention to spare any one of them. unless you count insta kill as "sparing" them.

Gotta love when throwaway fodder characters talk like they're hot stuff, but don't do anything to back it up. Guy didn't earn the right to call anyone a loser. Can't wait to see how few worthless mooks survive after the "mistress" finishes with them.
