Hello,

It's time for translation corner.

The Protagonist's name, シルキー (transliterated Shiruki-) came from combining the first and last letters of Serial Killer in katakana シリアル・キラー (Shiriaru Kira-). SHI ri a RU KI ra -, Shiruki- (- means long vowel, so it's really just Shirukii)

You can be a diehard japanophile purist and romanize it as Shirukii or Shiruki, but I'd go with the obvious stylized choice, which is Silky.

The Japanese really love doing shit like this. My previous encounter was with the manga Iceblade Sorcerer / Hyouken no Majutsushi. The name of the protagonist, Ray White, is actually Rei White (Rei as in Zero 零), but it's still romanized as "Ray" for stylization purpose.

Also I have no idea what the dekinai translator of previous chapters were thinking, adding "y" near the end of her name. Shiruk
Yi like, why? for what purpose?

Anyway, that's all from me.
Cheers
I think the previous group guessed her name was supposed to be stylized as Shirayuki (Snow White), because of the fantasy setting and to fit the outward persona she uses to hide her true self. I think Silky works just as well, though it may be The Ancient Magus' Bride fan in me.

fuck me, this asshole's back again... To the blocked list with you!

for those who don't know, this guy is one of the main reasons that MD added a feature to block groups. went on a string of "translations" spoiling the endings of a ton of manga people were actively working on a few years back.
