Xiadie lowered her head and quietly gazed at the old person's tombstone, she took off the cloak she was wearing and placed it on the old person's tombstone.

Make it natural: "Xiadie lowered her head, quietly gazing at the old person's tombstone. She took off the cloak she was wearing and placed it on the tombstone."

She lowered her head and quietly gazed at the old person's tombstone, took off the cloak she was wearing, and placed it over the tombstone.

Let's produce: "Xiadie lowered her head and quietly gazed at the old person's tombstone; she took off the cloak she had draped over herself and placed it on the tombstone."

That's one sentence but okay.

Translation: "She gently stroked the surface of the stele, murmuring softly."

"Are hands like this really warm?"

We need to keep quotes. The line includes Chinese quotes. We'll translate: ""Such hands… are they really warm?""

But we need to keep the quotation marks as in English? We'll output: ""Such hands… are they really warm?""

「……」"

Translation: "……" (ellipsis). Keep as is? Should we translate? It's just ellipsis, we can keep as "……". Probably keep same.

A ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, shining on the old person's tombstone. A small deer suddenly leapt out from the nearby woods and quietly gazed ahead.

This line is just a separator "——". We need to output translation of that line. It's just an em dash? Probably we keep as "——". Or we could translate as "—". But we should keep same characters? The instruction: translate faithfully. The line is "——". It's not text to translate; it's a separator. We'll output "——". Probably okay.

Cheng Long's Adventure Chronicles.

"Long Shu, if… if Xiadie had been a normal girl since birth, that would be nice."

But we need to keep the ellipsis and punctuation.

Under her father's influence, she had indeed imagined possessing some kind of power over life and death and a long lifespan, but she rarely considered how cruel it would be to combine the two.

Thus: "Under her father's influence, she had indeed imagined possessing some kind of power over life and death and a long lifespan, but she rarely considered how cruel it would be to combine the two."

If one day she also traveled outside for twenty or thirty years, then returned to see Long Shu grown old and her father gone—hiss, she could not even imagine what her state of mind would be then.

Cheng Long lay on the workbench, holding a screwdriver to repair the old desk lamp that had started flickering nonstop. He sensed a hint of dejection in Xiao Yu's words, looked up, and comforted her: "Xiao Yu, although this curse has turned her into a very "special" child, these experiences have become the foundation that shaped Xiadie. Moreover, the present Xiadie has finally found someone she can embrace again."

"Yes. Moreover, although Xiadie's identity is somewhat special, at least after meeting Aglaea her life has become quite fulfilling. She has reliable companions like Bai E and Wandi, became a student of Kexia, and spent an unforgettable period of study in Shu Ting. If this time she can bring the fire seed of the Death Titan back to Aohema, and after taking over the Titan's divine office, this curse might possibly be resolved."

Aglaea, Bai E, Wandi, Kexia, Shu Ting, Death Titan, Aohema, Titan.

We need to keep quotes? No.

Thus: "Indeed. Moreover, although Xiadie's identity is somewhat special, at least after meeting Aglaea, her life has become quite fulfilling. She has reliable companions like Bai E and Wandi, and she has become a student of Kexia, spending an unforgettable period of study in Shu Ting. If this time she can bring the fire seed of the Death Titan back to Aohema, and after succeeding the Titan's divine office, this curse might possibly be resolved."

""On the day Oronis completes his trial, Your Excellency Xing must also be quite puzzled, right?""

Thus: ""On the day the Oronis trial is completed, Your Excellency Xing must surely be confused as well?""

""Because I am too: I don't understand why, as a person from beyond the heavens, you would be drawn so early into the fate of Weng Faluo in such a cruel way… I want to do something, but even if I try my best to act more naturally, I still cannot, like an ordinary person, naturally come into contact with the living.""

Translation: ""Because I am the same: I don't understand why, as a person from beyond the heavens, Your Excellency would be drawn into Weng Faluo's fate in such a cruel way so early… I want to do something, but even if I strive to act more naturally, I cannot, like an ordinary person, naturally come into contact with the living.""

""Even back in Shu Ting, we had unintentional contact. At that time, clearly nothing had happened……""

Translation: ""Even if we had unintentional contact back in Shu Ting, at that time clearly nothing happened……"" We need to keep ellipsis.

Thus: ""Even if we had unintentional contact back in Shu Ting, at that time clearly nothing happened……"

""When my heart finally welled up a hope almost like a luxury…… When I thought my touch might perhaps no longer bring sorrow…… but fate tells me, it is not that the 'death' curse can finally be healed…… but that Your Excellency's soul no longer belongs to the human world… My hands have long been unable to take anything, that's all?""

Let's break: ""When my heart finally welled up a hope almost like a luxury…… When I thought my touch might perhaps no longer bring sorrow…… but fate tells me, it is not that the 'death' curse can finally be healed…… but that Your Excellency's soul no longer belongs to the human world… My hands have long been unable to take anything, that's all?""

""Yes, but could this time actually change things? I'm not failing to understand; I just don't want to accept reality. Though we've walked such a long road, I still cannot find an answer to life and death, forever helpless… If I want to leave something behind, all I can do is let death take it away from between my fingers.""

Translation: ""Yes, could it be that this time things will change? I'm not lacking understanding; I just don't want to accept reality. Though I have walked such a long journey, I still cannot find the answer between life and death, forever helpless…… If I want to leave something behind, I can only let death take it from between my fingers……"" We need to keep ellipsis.

She said: "At the end of the flower sea, the souls of the living will warm your fingertips; after an embrace, it will be eternal farewell."'"

""I'm not surprised at this, for what she said feels less like a prophecy and more like a complete reflection of my past. Embrace in the world ought to be for meeting, yet my hands can only speak of farewell. Even back then I had reason to believe this fate would run through my entire life……""

Translation: ""As for that, I'm not surprised, because what she said seemed not a prophecy but a complete reflection of my past. Embrace in the world ought to arise from meeting, yet my hands can only speak of farewell.

Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess

If Kexia's previously displayed memory of KefaLe is accurate, then it means Senatos is Xiadie's sister Boluxia. I don't doubt that Senatos's fire seed could change Xiadie's fate, but the premise is…… facing the sister she has long sought, can Xiadie really bring herself to kill her?

Baiyin Yuxing rubbed his temples with his thumb, saying: "No… I still can't picture the Death Titan being killed by someone. Moreover, there's a paradox here—if the Titan's authority can let Xing be revived, then that authority should also be able to affect it, right?"

Mmm… indeed, but this trip doesn't necessarily have to succeed in defeating Senatos." Shi Shangyou lifted her head, looking at the girl who was opening her heart to Xing, and said: "... just like facing Nikadoli, this trip only needs to ascertain Senatos's exact location, after all, in dealing with a Titan, Bai E, Xing, and Danheng are the main forces."

""Let's not talk about that for now. We've arrived, Your Excellency."
