You are absolutely goated for picking this up! Thank you so much for the TL, I desperately kept checking for updates - so glad this is back!
Sure, your life and your loved one's are in danger, with a whole city filled with innocent people being murdered left and right. Sure is not out of place to ask a random robot from another planet RIGHT NOW if it knows Robinson Crusoe just to explain why you hate the word master. You say it's "perfectly consistent" with Hinako's characterization, who we've seen care incredibly about her "sisters" But here it's more important to clarify her hatred for a word with a literary work that a being from another world wouldn't know as an example RATHER than hurrying to do something about the situation. They can wait while I talk with this robot about robinson crusoe.It's not out of place. You have to put yourself in Hinako's shoes here. She's a highly moralistic character, so she hates being called master. She mentioned the Robinson Crusoe story because it's a good example of why she hates it so much. Of course the robot has no idea what she's talking about, but that's irrelevant. What matters is that this is perfectly consistent with Hinako's characterization. Regardless of the situation and place, Hinako is always true to herself and her moral values. This scene is a perfect and consistent example of that.
Yes, some times fiction works like that with things that don't conform 1:1 to reality but exist for the reader's benefit. Most people don't monologue and infodump to themselves about their abilities when they're in the middle of a fight either. It's just something you accept.Sure, your life and your loved one's are in danger, with a whole city filled with innocent people being murdered left and right.

TOTALLY the right place to do that. Okay then.
We just did this minute.Thank you for the chapter. I would suggest slightly toning down how you've represented Elis' accent, it's a little unreadable at times.
I'm not the translator on this, but was part of the discussion on the TL decision and word choices. To reflect Elis' Hiroshima-sounding dialect, we opted to go with a Chicago dialect (In particular we wanted to go with a Chicago mob sound). The Th->D substitution is fairly common, but it's not the only example of things you'll see. E.g. Dese, dose, dem, over dere, yous guys, what a jagoff, etc.Question to the translator, why are you mispelling "This" to "Dis" or "That" to "Dat" on purpose? Am I missing something here?
You're whining about this as if she wasted 3 hours explaining the book to the robot. The whole conversation felt like it lasted 5 minutes actually and the robot was already on the move while they were talking, so if wasting time is what's bothering you then good for you because they didn't waste any time.Sure, your life and your loved one's are in danger, with a whole city filled with innocent people being murdered left and right.

In one of the previous chapters this elf guy activated the spaceship by pressing several of his hands against sensors. And from the chapter about how the save point came to be we know that he stole those arms from reincarnators. This together with all the talk about keyholders implies that reincarnators have special privileges and the sci-fi tech that was used is somehow able to identify whether someone is reincarnated or notSo why she got administrator rights to the robot buried there a long time ago? Is time travel also involved here?
