Yami Kakusei Shite Shujinkou ni Bokosareru Kamaseinu ni Hyoui Shita ga Gensaku to Chigaisugite Tomadotteru - Ch. 2 - Getting Tangled Up in Trouble is…

[Ironclad]

Always the mystery meat street skewers. How did izakaya snacks end up associated with this genre?

Hyperfixations are scary...

One thing i like about this series so far is the “crazy eyes”

 

[legendaryswordsman]

Feels like this chapter can cut the food tripping part shorter to cover up more things, wonder what is the actual point of that?
Hope this will not be a norm, or else I fear this manga will be just full with filler chapters and dragging things before any story development.

Yeah too much focus on that useless maid goughing herself on food, I wonder if she actually is any good

OK, pun explanation:
The bandit says 野盗を雇う(Yatou wo yatou, "hire a bandit")in the original Japanese. The pun relies on the fact that the word used for bandit here(yatou) is the same sound as the word for "hire"(also yatou).
The translator didn't translate the joke.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hard to blame a non professional translator in not translating a pun, that's one of the most difficult things to do right. "Banding with a bandit" or "Bringing a brigant in" could have worked, though.

I was wondering whether I was stupid or the translator did a shitty job, while strongly leaning toward the second option. Thanks for confirming it.

Dude that was like 3 pages lol

We might have gotten the pun if they'd translated it as 'hire a hireling'. Hireling as in Baldur's Gate, which are amoral mercenaries.

Thank you! I would consider the most fun part of translation to be learning about something like this and figuring out a way to convey it to the reader, so I'm surprised it was just not done and left entirely as-is without a single explanation.

Hmm I wonder if rei is that person's real name or maybe its not who knows also I wonder guy or girl

The TL could say "Band up a bandit" or something. It's terrible but still joke still there.

Ah, the salty food and sweet food trap. I get the feeling Ceres would get along really well with Akari and Hina from March Comes In Like a Lion...

Any magic growth in tha magic side went poof, he can learn any magic, create new one at the moment, and doesn't seem to have a limit in the amount.
Let's see if there's anything interesting at the swordman side, cause the only thing that is holding me here is that it have a romance tag and no harem, also the maid is funny

 

[Adrian_V]

Hahahaha, page 8 logic is flawless

 

[captain_crunch]

How did the original villain go wrong when he had such a goofy maid following him around
