I guess there won't be gender bend romance shenanigans in this story.

I don't foresee there being any romance in this, maybe at the end of the story. As far as the gender change goes, there are a bunch of possibilities for what's happening here. The fact that both Nogami and Julia have the same power is suspicious. It could be that Julia just tried summoning anyone with that specific power, but the fact that he died and reincarnated makes it seem like they're more connected than that.

Also, as far as the translation goes, this was pretty good. The only major mistake I'd point out is that Milady shouldn't have any articles before it. So it's not "the Milady", just "Milady".

Honestly, chapter 2 is the hardest chapter I've translated. There are so many sentences and bubbles, all in a plain, round layout without any lines or arrows to show who's speaking (only a little light effect). Well, maybe it's also because this is my first mystery genre🙏
For grammar or accent, sometimes I make two translations in 2 different languages and then match each sentence, sometimes the translation results from the original language to the 2 languages are slightly different (this is usually done for series that I focus on, like Stella Must Die / Be Elegant Villainess) (and it depends on the mood too😅)
And I'm aiming for manga with few sentences in the picture, because when it comes to cleaning, I'm not good at it, as can be seen in Onee ga tensei / Onna chara🙏

I wonder if past Julia is the future Nogami. Or like, isekaid Nogami again, but for some reason memory got wiped.

Wtf, so the original owner of the body is coming back..? Doesn't that just mean that MC will die? Damn

 

[Banana_Splits]

glad it got resolved fairly quick tbh, at least they have the same objective for now

Thanks for the TL. apparently I'm kind of invested in this manga now so it's a bit late but I'm gonna do a full PR pass because I want to, which I usually save for yelling at MTL snipes. I think most of these are much more minor niggles than last chapter, mostly readability nitpicks or little bits of wording. Nothing so bad as ep 2 which is good to see! Maybe just watch for your page breaks - some of the dialogue that crosses pages doesn't quite match up at a couple points.

2.1 - 'I don't have the confidence to... clear their suspicions' -> strictly speaking this is fine, but much more natural if you use 'clear his suspicions' since Emilio is being referenced next sentence
5.4 - 'to fight head on is a bad move, if so...' -> feels slightly more natural to use 'in that case...' as an english speaker
7.3 - 'it's restraint technique' -> probably better as 'it's a restraint technique'
8.1 - 'is a technique for suppressing safely and effectively' -> 'it's a technique for suppressing someone safely...'
9.4/10.1 - I feel like the wording here is a little bit clumsy? It's fine, it works, the meaning is brought across, but I wonder if there was a way to word it better or if there's some nuance that got lost a little here. I don't have a great answer or suggestion here, it's just something I flagged particularly given Emilio's reaction
12.1/17.2/22.3/23.1 - 'Give the Milady back!' - 'Give Milady back!' people have already covered that 'Milady' as a name/title doesn't need a 'the' at the front of it, but see 13.3 also.
12.3 - 'what is happening to me or to her' -> probably should be 'what has happened'
13.3 - 'If you kill me, maybe the[y] Milady might come back' -> two things to note here. One, I'm not certain the MC would use 'Milady' in the same way as Emilio as a name/title, and if you're just using it to describe someone it's not really something a native speaker would say. Consider 'If you kill me, maybe the young lady might come back'. Alternatively, MC is deliberately goading Emilio, in which case you could go 'If you kill me, maybe your Milady might come back' as a taunt (referencing she's Emilio's milady)
15.1 - 'There was no mistake' -> 'There is no mistake'
15.4 - 'A sudden contact' -> 'Apologies for the sudden contact' maybe?
17.3 - 'she say an incident' -> 'She says an incident'
17.5 - 'You found it in such a short time' -> feels a bit better as 'you found this letter in such a short time' (nice asspull, author)
19.2-20.1 - 'I am... I lived in a different world -> 'I am... someone who lived in a different world'
21.4-22.1 - 'It is certainly an absurd story, though. / If I listen to your story under the premise' -> that 'though' is probably meant to be linking the two bubbles. 'It is certainly an absurd story, however... if I consider it under the premise'
24.1/25.1 - Another of those cases where you could say 'I need to teach you how to behave like Milady' or you could go 'I need to teach you how to behave like a proper lady'. Which is more correct in each bubble here probably depends on how exactly the jp was worded / how much Emilio is referring to Julia rather than a general 'ojousama'

I guess there won't be gender bend romance shenanigans in this story.

there's only doomed yaoi of his past life.

 

[chairlight]

I figured it out. The ability let's the user look into the past.

So MC died, and became Julia. Then at some point Julia used powers on herself and then discovered part of her past life. Then overused her powers intentionally and brought out her past life in totality to help her.

This will be shown by Butler being reminded of Julia in some things MC does, ultimately Julia will return when MC accepts all of the new life and accomplishes the goal.

Personally, I hope not.
