Wow, way to change the narrative of that first chapter. This is great.

 

[MangaRockRefugee]

Sooo, his servants are past sacrifices, who, in reward of their servitude are granted eternal life?
oh wow

 

[monkry]

@MangaRockRefugee hoo so it's like that, thank you so much for the explanation! So it's that deep, I thought it's just him, like, repenting

 

[bosbarret]

Huhhh. A sudden change in character!

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the translation.
And I disagree with the 'change in character'. Instead I think it is a change of perspective.

 

[swimminginsand]

Well he did say they were her fellows and that the body of a child was inconvenient. They just freaked her out because they look like monsters.

 

[Monky]

Wow the different perspective really brings a fresh depth

 

[alacaelum]

I like that this is more than just saying "gods egotistical", just the fact that he asked that question to one of his retainers and accepted her brusk answer says that he isnt just an "almighty being" i like this ambiguity.

And we now know that being a sacrifice isnt just to die is to be transformed, it can be "good" or "bad" but like the monk said it is people that decide their fates, those past sacrifices clearly have a good and respectable life.

 

[Operatix]

hmm, so being a sacrifice is not the end, and they at least don't despise their current life, they even find joy in it.

 

[LordofAlI]

Interesting change in perspective. I still wouldn't want to be a sacrifice but at least they don't hate their current life

I was just able to read the official translation of this series and as someone who loves the series so much, I just have to do a side by side comparison. (I sometimes do this to get a new perspective of what was said or what happened)


This was the official:

This was the scan's work:

I personally prefer the scan's work bc it's easier to read and the flow, for me, is better.
