The text outlines a waaaaaaay to thick... For example on page 2 I measured 12 pixels! :haa:
1-2 pixel is enough, and you can further thin it with playing with transparency and/or gaussian blur.
You only need to differentiate the text from the art, while not covering it up.

The priest only meet her right?
And he already decided to believe what he saw from her is the greatest thing?
Not a single ounce of doubt?
Like "this noble lady might be faking it just like my family"
Guess that's your protagonist privilege

Can't say I particularly missed this series. I suppose something interesting could happen now that this boring ass priest plot is wrapped up.

I remembered this priest kidnapped Rachel, and nothing else.

Why did they have to spend the entire chapter deconstructing his motives like a Detective Conan story? Not to mention I have no basic knowledge about real life church doctrine or theology, so all that realisation Rachel had flew over my head.

It's nothing to do with real religion. The whole point of it was just that this fantasy church worships light, and some of the priest take it to the extreme and considers "dark spirits" to just be evil outright and wants to get rid of them.

Basically this chapter is to say that Alois is not a bad guy, he had to do this whole kidnapping thing because he feels that he can't fight his family. And plus lore about the church, because that's probably who they have to deal with next.

Damn I can tell that this was one of "those" chapters. The kind that... And such hate! But unless they can. They must. Family!

Seriously though, the way Japanese uses context and short phrases with history around their usage to get across a point is so difficult to translate. This chapter's focus on family, duty, responsibility, and the related emotions are all deeply Japanese things that the author likely didn't feel the need to have much exposition, leaving us with a few sparodic points of information. What's a TL to do, write their own story in-between the lines?

Thanks for the chapter, but I can absolutely see why this wouldn't be a good impression for continuing to TL, on top of cleaning/redraw foibles.

I re-read this whole thing, so I could appreciate this new chapter.
Time NOT wasted.

I'm still glad, after a year, that the prince punched that fuck in the face; and I am doubly glad to see the Priest accept his responsibility, and go to goddamn jail.

A little low on story progression, but I figured this chapter was just going to fill in some gaps; that's super typical of this writing style, and I'm honestly here for it.

The translation is awful, its literally google translated. I went to read the raws and it made so much more sense. A different group needs to pick this up.

What on earth was the conclusion with the priest? Is he really forgivable because he took revenge on his family and wanted them to be imprisoned alongside himself? Yes, he protected Rachel in a way, but it feels like that completely incidental and the way that he terrified her and seemed moments from assaulting her were both completely unnecessary. So was confessing his love to her. He could have lied in the note and just absconded with her and it wouldn't have been more or less convincing to Louis and the others. I can't believe the narrative wound back around to saying that he was a good person after his arc concluded with him still holding the same dark miserable feelings he had had all along. "Make sure the next priest treats the children well"... Yeah...? Yes? What? You aren't redeemed for your basic consideration?! How was he a strong or gentle person?

This was a very rough chapter to read. I hope someone else picks this up.

Yeah, it's the classic newbie mistake of misusing MTL. Thing is, even the better translation machines like DeepL do not carry over context between line breaks. And this scanslator appears to have been putting each bubble down as its own line, with breaks separating the text from each bubble.

It can be a bit tricky, but by using some common sense and a bit of messing around, you can get some very coherent translations (yes, even with Google Translate) if you know exactly where to place the line breaks.
