Hmm,

How did they get the twins to agree to this?? I thought they were brainwashed.

Also a tin sword is super light.

I am willing to suspend my disbelief because this is so amusing.

I’d probably switch faiths after seeing this

They probably convinced them that everything was a lie. Mia thought she was a Witch even though she herself knew that she wasn't a Witch.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch the magic!

By letting the twin know that the church guy's miracles are bullshit, he did and will kill their sibling.
You change faith real quick when you know that you/your family gonna die.

thank you for translating!

I bet the Church in this timeline will wrote about him as the Devil that turns the society upside down.
He will be a legend, that Church can't deny.

I got Old Man Kaseki vibes from Liese's Grandad

@Kwantum0 Honestly it is entirely possible that they didn't brainwash the twins so much as threatened them. If they truly believed in the "curse of twins" I doubt Harry would have been able to get them to change sides. If, however, they had been told "do this or all your family/friends are going to be killed/found to be witches." then getting them to go along for revenge makes sense.

Yea the tin sword was a stretch for sure, but not as much as you'd think. They could have altered the weight pretty easily by using a lead core in front of the guard. Swords like that one actually only weighed about 2-3 lbs. The priest obviously wasn't a swordsman so he would be less likely to notice a difference in weight too. Also the sword not being perfectly straight afterwards, which I think would be the biggest issue with this part of the plan, can be written off as no one paying enough attention to it to really notice.

The embassy mission from Japan to Europe between 1613 through 1620 was quite interesting, but I don't recall that there was an issue with the way they talked besides being a different language.

Most of the problem was that the embassy was a project from Date Masamune and not from the recognized ruler of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who instead wanted to close Japan to foreigners. So this embassy wasn't actually recognized as representatives of the whole country.

Something tells me our main protagonist will end up returning to his original time period in company of his new harem of "witches" in order to avoid messing with the timeline and the faith of thousands.

@taka As someone who’s a native Spanish speaker, I found that pronunciation part strange. Being a different language that sounds like moonspeak, sure, maybe? But I’ve always thought that Spanish and Japanese have pretty much the same pronunciation. That being said, I speak Latin America Spanish and not Spain Spanish, both have different accents. Could it be a mistranslation? Accent instead of pronunciation? Making fun of someone’s accent to their face sounds like something a royal would do. (and douchebags now a day}

@ZodiacTemplar Es posible que los principes Ibericos les dio risa, no lo pronunciacion del Japones si no de como muchas palabras/nombres en ese idioma suenan graciosas o vulgares en español. Por ejemplo recuerdo como el personaje de Kagome en Inuyasha se le cambio el nombre a "Aome" en Latinoamerica por que su nombre suena como "Cagar" o como Mariko, un nombre femenino, emula el sonido de "Maricon".

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that Vest. I mean How accurate do you have to be to push that tin sword into that small slot...? And not to mention that you'd have to have some how predicted that the priest would aim at that spot specifically, even an inch off would've ruined the plan imo.

Black Cat translator (but not the Witch Trick translator) chiming in on the "pronunciation" thing, might not have been the best word choice, but the word is 発音, literally like, "emitted sound", and refers both to speech, and the correct pronunciation of that speech.

I did some digging to see what I could find about the supposed story, and it's a bit hard to find a direct source. I found a blog post that made mention of the same thing, and apparently the diplomat was reading aloud a letter addressed to King Felipe. Felipe was apparently surprised by the vertical writing system, while the prince and princess(es?) snickered at the bizarre sound of the language.
