I‘d appreciate it if you could separate the name suffixes (san, chan etc.) from the names themselves

"Saint" or "saintess" is the usual translation of 聖女 (seijo). It can mean a female saint or a holy woman, in the entirely religious sense — but from the back story given in the flashbacks so far, it appears that the meaning here is "female magic user specialising in, or with a gift for, healing and purification magic".

Place of Power

Gotta be.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

That's probably not a power spot anymore. More like a god's domain. Let down your guard and you'll experience kamikakushi?

So, is a mixed-race child called "double" in Japan?

In our language, a mixed-race child is called "blasteran", which comes from the root word "blaster" originating from the Dutch word "bastaard", meaning a child born out of wedlock or mixed-race child in Dutch. Is there any Dutch speaker who can confirm about the second meaning?

seems like a recent loanword definition to replace "half" as it was used in the past, in a more positive way

 

[cryum]

I feel like there's a page missing. Did she look at the mirror and end up overwhelmed by the positive energy, or did she look at some solar panels and got overwhelmed by literal light?

Bastaard is an old term used for children born out of wedlock. The second context is used sometimes, but only for mixed-race animals (e.g. bastard dog). I have never seen it used when referring to people.

This girl must be why I get 3am bursts of motivation.

Will something finally happen now after three chapters? It's pretty chaotic for a slice of life.

Oh I Didn't expect someone interest on this part so I didn't explain it clearly sorry
The term ダブル (daburu) means “double” or "Dual" in Japanese and is an alternative to the term ハーフ (hāfu), which means “half” and refers to a person who is ethnically half Japanese and half non-Japanese. Daburu focuses on the positive connotations of having two cultures instead of one. The term hāfu has been used in Japan for many years, but daburu began to be used in the 1990s as a way of emphasizing what is gained by being mixed race rather than what is missing.

Should use spacebar or hyphen (-) ?

nothing missing just only first half, I will translate another half later ^^

I think a hyphen would be better

 

[Soneca]

Ohh this is getting interesting. Thank you very much for the scanlation.

At first I thought it was a fool's errand for Rei to keep erasing the miasma coming from people who are going through bad times. They'll feel better momentarily, then remember why they were having a bad time and the miasma comes back. It's like drinking to forget your sorrows and when you return to sobriety you remember why you were drinking in the first place, and the sorrows return.

Then I remember she has to spend her magic power somehow, because it's bad for it to build up, and this also doubles as an anonymous act of kindness (if temporary) to strangers. I just hope that man was not someone plotting to do bad things instead of someone suffering through bad times.

Spoiler: Feedback

Page 10:
"I doesn't remember" -> "I don't remember"
"You saves money" -> " You save money"
Page 11:
"THANK!!" -> "THANKS!!" or "THANK YOU!!"

These grammar points aside, not a bad job on this chapter. I can see the improvement in the English compared to Chapter 1. 頑張れ！

My vote would go to "wow-ish" as a translation rather than straight-up using romaji (which is not translation at all). The suffix "-ish" works with "-poi" if you ask me. For example, the song title 神っぽいな is often translated to "God-ish" for its English title.

Also, using hyphens to detach honorifics from names would be great, as another user mentioned.
For example, "Rei-san" looks better to me because it makes me think of a person (Ms. Rei) rather than Reisan, which to me honestly sometimes looks like a name for a mountain (Mt. Rei)

Presumably a fellow non-native English speaker, just wanna say that I understand the pain of preserving the original context while trying to make it looks natural as possible. You got this, translator-san, ganbare!
