Heyas folks,

with this I finished an epic-long web novel chapter which has 79k characters (not counting spaces). That should be the longest so far. And all I got to say is: I bow my head to all those translating light novels. Now I understand why some chapters take a month or more to be released. Kudos to those guys!

I also started to translate the next interlude, but that turned out to be a huge spoiler. So I won’t continue until we passed it in the time line.

I expect chapter 50 to be the last of the current volume. The chapter itself is shorter (longer would have killed me anyway). Thus here’s the one missing illustration of the volume:

By the way my favourite wife contender is Wilma-chan so far. ^^

Anyway, the next chapter will start next week.

Well,

I tried to finish it today, but if you translate a text wall and it doesn’t get less and it doesn’t get less and it… *spills tears of blood*

I gave up at around 85%, so next week I will finish up this stupidly long chapter and head into the next short (as if…) chapter!

The illustration was added this time at the right place, so enjoy, though most have probably seen it already. xD

Ah yea, asking me stuff like “When will you release xx?” is about the same mentality as “Mum, are we there yet?” I thought I addressed this question in the FAQ, but I guess some people don’t read such things. I will make it simple, spare me of such questions as I only have to delete them. Translators got a life too, so if things get delayed, they get delayed. Period. Thanks for your understanding.

Without further ado, here you go

P.S.: Somehow Facebook isn’t updating my releases… worked fine 2 weeks ago and now it’s broken, not sure why though. Tried to reconfigure, but well, we shall see…

Evenin’ folks,

and here we go with the next 27% of this chapter. Yay!

It looks like I will split it into 4 parts after all. The last paragraph break of the chapter is at 80% so that should be fitting for another huge chunk.

Ah, I added the last illustration of volume 4 to the chapter, though I think it’s slightly different in the Light Novel version. Oh well…

I guess we will head into volume 5 within the next 1-2 chapters, so look forward to that (aka in 2 years at the rate the length of the chapters is increasing xD)

I added a text anchor to jump to the next part at the beginning of the chapter, so feel free to use that. Also I will change the illustrations to not be embedded in the text flow as that looks stupid in some browsers, once I get time to do so, that is.

|>> Well enjoy <<|

Heyas folks,

here we go with part 1 of this stupidly long chapter with almost 2k lines in the raw. Sorry for those, who expected Kakei Senki wo Kakageyo! yesterday, but I’ve been too tired. The current summer-like heat is only causing me to be a sleepyhead, which is also why I didn’t manage to translate as much as I wanted of this chapter. I feel like I wanted to write something more, but I forgot…

Oh well, whatever.

Ah yea… before I forget… I’m still looking for editors… though I guess I don’t mind running most of the show by myself either, now that I’m already doing it for a while…

The next part will likely be released next weekend on Sunday… Ah before anyone asks, part 1 is 26% of the chapter.

|>> Well, enjoy <<|

Regards,

Shasu

Heyas everyone,

here’s the last part of chapter 48. It isn’t overly long as I finished the majority last week. Well I also started on chapter 49 today but ended up getting exhausted by it… it’s the same length if not even longer than this chapter, thus I will probably split it in 3 parts this time.

I added the fourth illustration to this chapter as well. Quite a few illustrations for just one chapter…

There has been something I wanted to mention about the MC’s speech patterns. If the MC uses descriptive language the sentences are most of the time accompanied with “it seems that”, “I heard that” and such. If he talks about actions he often uses “ended up doing blah.” This stuff repeats itself soooo often that I simply leave it away as it is most of the times a plain pain in the ass. Though you might take this as hint of the MC being indecisively guided by the circumstances and largely influenced by hearsay.

Lastly, I made a page on facebook for those interested in following our translation group there, feel free to visit it here. I will fill it with life overtime, though you got to give me a bit time until I get used to it :3

|>> Enjoy the last part! <<|

Evenin’ folks,

first off, no I won’t say sorry for the delay. There was a shitload of complaints I wanted to write here, but I’m kinda too tired to do that now, so whatever… Let me just tell you this much: 4% of translation took me around 1 hour and this part 1 is at 85% of the entire chapter. I now really know why LN translators break their chapters into 5+ parts…

Thus, my advice is to get a coffee and a good chunk of time to read this chapter. Ah, I will finish the chapter sometime during the week, depending on my work, though at latest next weekend.

On a brighter side: I made a facebook profile for this group to a.) make it easier to follow the releases since everyone seems to like facebook and b.) spread the word of great Japanese web novels out to those, who aren’t yet addicted. So, help out and follow us here!

Oh, and accessing the old wordpress blog won’t help much. Best solution is to follow this blog! 😉

Well, enough from me |>> Enjoy! <<|

Heyas folks,

one more interlude from my owed extra interludes for you to read. Another marathon as it was a bit long (as usual with this novel). Well, this time, it is slightly lighter than interlude 19.

I recommend to read the note at the beginning of the interlude too.

The next extra interlude is already paid for, but even though Asvan might chew me out, I will have to postpone translating this one for a bit. One reason being that my vacations are over next week and the other reason being that interlude 21 takes place after chapter 50, thus I put a little lower priority on it currently.

Thanks to the anonymous donor who enabled this interlude!

|>> Have fun! <<|

Greetings,

Shasu

Evening fellow readers,

in something like a translation marathon of round about 10 hrs, including the editing, I managed to finish Interlude 19 as next extra interlude for you guys. One more interlude and we are caught up with the storyline (Interlude 20 is after chapter 44 iirc).

This interlude has a nicely dark touch, so twisted people, like me, will probably like it. However, there are a few notes you should know before reading:

• First off, I think the author fucked up the tenses majorly in there. He used almost always present tense/future tense (not separated in Japanese) while talking about past events and likewise used past tense at some parts that should be present tense. I took the liberty to fix it because otherwise the whole thing would be a pain to read, though I don’t claim to have gotten all of it right. xD
• Another thing, Kurt calls his father “oyaji” which also can be translated as “old man.” I think it has a bit of derogatory touch to it but I still used father. Just remember that part (only exception is when he calls him “dad”). Towards the end Kurt’s language gets rather derogatory all together but it’s expressed in the nuances of the Japanese way of talking rather than directly swearing as such. So take the whole thing with a pint of salt.

Extend your thanks to Asvan, Raymond R. and an anonymous donor for giving you this chapter.

Over n’ out,

Shasu

Heyas everyone,

here’s one of my owned extra interludes. The interlude completely follows the PoV of Burkhart.

I welcome any spelling/grammar corrections as this one is completely edited by myself once again. Somehow I guess this message is getting kind of redundant slowly… xD Oh well, so many readers and not even 0,001% considers applying as editor, kind of sad, isn’t it… ?

All of the older chapters have now been edited by Garit and Zazabooze! Chapter 23 and 24 still need some checking with me being the bottleneck here. But, great thanks for the nice work to the two of them! Both have started working on the book versions of Hachinan tte, sore wa nai deshou and Garit will become the editor for Kakei Senki wo Kakageyo!

Extend your thanks to Asvan and Teafa for making this interlude possible!!!

|>> Enjoy the interlude! <<|

On another note: After listening to the various comments of the readers about my copyright measurements and considering it for a bit, I decided to cease the extra work of impeding the copying of content. At the same time, I decided that if a series’ readership should drop gradually due to people reading the chapters I translate on other sites, I will simply drop the translation of said series, no question asked. Saves me the trouble to bother with trying to protect this blog’s content and allows you, the readers, to decide yourself whether translations will go on.

Also, in the last days I had to read quite a few insulting and swearing comments. I don’t mind people stating their opinion but I do mind if people get personal over it. Such people will be immediately banned. There is a page called Rules of Conduct and I would be glad if everyone follows the rules written there. Otherwise I will simply disable all comments on the blog.

Greetings,

Shasu

Phew,

now that was once again a bulk of text to write. Took me around 15 hrs for writing and checking altogether. xD

Kruncs will likely check it once he gets back, thus you have to put up with my edit until then.

I added a text anchor at the start of the chapter page, so you can easily get down to the end of part 1.

The next chapter, 48, will be released in a little less than 2 weeks, on the 21st August, if all goes well.
