Page 4:

Daikoku refers to Kofuku as “Kami-san”, which is also a term of address for a wife, but can also mean “god/dess”. He also refers to her as “omae”, which is a more casual form of “you”.

Page 5:

Isn’t it nice when figures of speech are exactly the same between languages?

Page 7:

The last term Bishamon uses on this page is “nokoshitai” (遺したい). “Nokosu” usually means to leave behind, to bequeath, or to entrust, in the sense of passing on an heirloom. However, the overall sense of the word is to maintain something’s existence so that it can continue to be appreciated, like “I want my kids to be able to enjoy this forest the same way I did.”

Page 16:

Shiigun’s chants are all “on” (怨), which means “curse”, “grudge”, “spite”, or “bane”. In the speech bubbles it’s written in kanji, but the sound effects around them are written in hiragana, which made me assume that the sound was more important than having them chant “curse” “curse” all over. I also made the sound “ohm” because an English reader would likely mispronounce “on”, and the “n” sound at the end of a syllable is often made “m”, anyway, like “senpai/sempai”.

Page 17:

Oh, hey, I get to re-translate Kugaha’s line that the original scanlation messed up by translating out Kiun as “yellow cloud” and Shiigun as “troops”.

Page 38:

Kazuma’s other options for names were “Bina” (毘ぃな), “Biina” (美 ぃな), and “Vaamon” (ヴァー門).

Page 40:

The word Kazuma uses her is “Itsukushimeru” (愛しめる). It does mean “love”, but in a familial sense. The typical usage is in reference to children or pets.
