Modern Villainess: It’s Not Easy Building a Corporate Empire Before the Crash - Vol. 1 Ch. 5.5 - Intermission ① The Young Lady and Orange Asuka

[MangaDex]

 

[Hedronote]

Ladder or stepladder, spade or shovel, orange or tangerine... the great arguments of the universe.

To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between a mandarin, clementine, or tangerine anyway.

 

[Rumor]

I have to admit.

I got very impatient and I read the manga's LN. I even did it legitimately and bought it at a bookstore (all 2 volumes released. waiting on 3rd that is set to release in less than a month).

This little extra does give a visual interpretation on the meeting between Runa, Asuka, and Hotaru. Entirely charming.

As always, it is also a treat to read the financial reports that you guys give. Obviously some context is missing and it is more of a hog posh of opinions and observations but It is entirely enjoyable enough that I still read them.

I have to say tho that needing TL notes on this work is really indeed needed and still on-point on what is released on the official TL on the LNs.

In regards to the whole Apple and Potato thing...

Somehow I can only imagine some past French person who hates apples pick up a potato one day, not knowing what it is, and eating it like an apple. Obviously it tastes bad and since they hated apples, they called it as the "Apple from underneath (the earth)".

I dunno why, I dunno how. That mental story has always existed in my head since my french lessons and I learned about how "Apple" is translated in french.

Yeah it’s really good to have those notes, the LN also include notes for things happening and meaning of words. It is quite a dense work so it makes things easier to follow.

nah, it's much simpler than that:

• Apple (pomme) is a staple fruit always available (fresh or conditioned) even to the poor
• potato (patate or pomme de terre) is a staple vegetable always available (fresh or conditioned) even to the poor

Thus, if apple is the pomme of the tree, potato is the pomme of the earth.

Thanks for the Chapter! Asuka is really acing the "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss" game

Oranges are bigger that mandarins (and i didn't even know that tangerines and mandarins are different). Spades are for digging, shovels are for moving (it's harder to dig with them). Ladders are for climbing, stepladders are for getting stuck.

 

[Nesiax]

Very light chapter , thank god I don't have to search every economic words and what it means

 

[ChocoPies]

Tarepanda cameo.

Honestly, I can relate.

I'm glad you liked the chapter and our Not-Financial Report. I do try to limit myself to general information to not give out advice instructing specific investment actions other than assessing the person's own portfolio in light with the information. Though due to that, it's not as meticulous as I'd want it to be.

Honestly, anyone who create stories involving the financial sector would need to do exposition as it would be hard to do the "Show-not-Tell" principle without confusing the audience.

Your headcannon regarding the French naming convention of Potato is quite interesting, to say the least.

From what I remember the heroine hasn’t made an appearance yet excluding the beginning’s foreshadowing. Vol 3 is releasing at end of month so maybe we’ll get to see her.

She is still nowhere to be seen in Vol. 3. Of note is that Mizuho Bank was founded in 2002.

Thank you

Guess we’re in for a long run then.

Wait till you find out what a patate is in french

Thus, if apple is the pomme of the tree, potato is the pomme of the earth.

I'm guessing similar shenanigans might be the reason why "pineapple" is called that in English ("apple that looks like pinecone", or something to that effect), and how in multiple other languages the word for "orange" (the fruit) comes from "apple from china" (e.g. "appelsiini" in Finnish).

Oranges and mandarins are entirely different things. The size is not what tells them apart, at least should've mentioned the shape. Mandarins are not spheres unlike oranges. On the other hand, tangerines are mandarins but mandarins are not necessarily tangerines.
