They may have tried using 4 dragon kings, but have they tried 1 human with some apples?

 

[Eliminateur]

a..... "nothing chapter" seriously....
sometimes the chapters in this manga are too short for the pacing

 

[ciera]

Thank you

 

[kaminomikan]

I fear author is going to make a counterpart to hesty

 

[JACGohu]

Not really a neutral-aligned after all.

Using Lord as a prefix for a female character is kinda weird though. Since this is a Japanese-made manga, I'm cool with "-sama" as a suffix. It's more generic than Lord/Lady/Dame, so it's flexible enough to use for any character of high standing.

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter!

 

[Manchura]

"reliable footsteps"

we all know you girls are going to fail, you even mentioned nothing should go wrong unless macguffin happens

Lord is masculine and neutral. The Queen (god save her) was the Lord of Mann during her reign, and there have been many female Lords Mayor. It is like the word "dude". He's a dude, she's a dude, everyone's a dude. It's just more formal.

weak dragon king must protecc

 

[Smokeball]

I just hope that it's not our guy that bonk the poison dragon with his op mana again. It's fine for the case of spirit kings, but overly use the same solution is just plain lazy.

 

[urtoast]

Daichi totally gonna defeat it in less than one chapter. More if the artist decides stretch out the fight for the sake of drama.

 

[BoredTears]

I'm betting on the spirit dragon being purified and becoming a pet, rather than a normal defeat.

Neutral too? First I've heard of such. If so, then I learned something new today. For as far as I knew though, I was working off the concept of the following:

"Quintessentially English yet recognised all over the world, Lord and Lady titles suggest wealth, privilege, refinement, history, tradition and authority – they can't fail to impress! 'Lord' is defined by Collins English Dictionary as 'a man who has a high rank in the nobility' and possesses land, property and power (the phrase 'Lord of the Manor' springs to mind). The definition of 'Lady' indicates that the title is appropriate for noblewomen and evokes dignity and grace."

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/lord

"In Britain, Lord is used in the titles of some officials of very high rank." "a person who has power or authority over others, such as a monarch or master" "the ceremonial title of certain high officials or of a bishop or archbishop" with examples listed, "Lord Mayor; Lord of Appeal; Law Lord; Lord Bishop of Durham" (and yes, there are female bishops; the first serving I can find reference to was ordained in 1988, 35 years ago), and even in American English, "a person having great power and authority; ruler; master" and more similar entries, in the Collins source indicated, all entries that indicate no specificity of maleness in their attribution.

"Lord" is seen as the ruler, and "Lady" used for the wife of said ruler; "Lady" functionally is the female equivalent of the "Prince Consort" title. This has been changing slowly but surely linguistically all my life, as the actual cultural shift allowing and supporting women in power has taken place.

TL;DR: Yes, Lord still carries the general connotation of male due to this, so upon first hearing it the assumption is male, but it is still a neutral title as well.

 

[Areos]

So, this chapter is self explanatory.
Our Daichi will obliterate this being of evil and another Dragon King will fall for his harem because of him saving her.
I like it xD

Person of authority in terms of the title for a position of power, yes. At least that much can be seen. As a personal honorific though, was my concern. In practice though, this knowledge doesn't seem to be very widespread.

in the Collins source indicated, all entries that indicate no specificity of maleness in their attribution.

It'ss actually mentioned in the very first item:

1. COUNTABLE NOUN & TITLE NOUN
In Britain, a lord is a man who has a high rank in the nobility, for example an earl, a viscount, or a marquis.
She married a lord and lives in this huge house in the Cotswolds.
A few days earlier he had received a telegram from Lord Lloyd.
Synonyms: peer, nobleman, count, duke More Synonyms of lord

If outdated, I'll make personal adjustments. But I'll need to see more samples besides a manga translation to digest.

 

[TetraSky]

watch him not only seal, but also destroy that spirit dragon.

Bruh. There are so many more points of reference in the very Collins dictionary page you cited that I was pointing out. One definition is ONE definition, there are many others that indicate neutral usage of the term.

Back at you, that this point still exists. Just because you say there are more of the others doesn't devalue it. I am willing to consider that you are correct, but I can't ignore that entry either, so I'm trying to digest everything and try to find examples where they are used, including what you're saying.

So I'd still like to see more samples of it in actual practice, because until you spoke about it, I never have. Particularly in how such people would be interpersonally addressed, not just by the title of the position of power which they hold. Considering many translations are also done by fan groups, not all of which speak English as a first language, I have to scrutinize.
