~11 min read 2,049 words

line: English only, fine.

Translation: ""Then, at this moment, another meaning of the bottom line comes into play—as long as you don't touch it, you can do whatever you want, got it?""

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes double quotes inside. We'll keep them as is? Probably keep the Chinese quotation marks? We should translate the content, but keep the punctuation? Usually we replace Chinese quotes with English quotes. We'll output: ""Then, at this moment, another meaning of the bottom line comes into play—as long as you don't touch it, you can do whatever you want, got it?""

same.

We'll output 【1】 then that.

"Astral Express" is English. "Dan Heng" is a name but Latin characters. fine.

Translation: ""The second question: why cause trouble for the Astral Express?" Dan Heng continued asking."

We need to keep speaker tag. We'll translate: ""The second question: why cause trouble for the Astral Express?" Dan Heng continued asking."

"Pinocony" is a name (maybe "Pinocony"? Actually it's "Pinocony" from Honkai: Star Rail). All Latin.

Translation: ""I've said it already—I don't mean to cause you trouble. I have to go to Pinokangni, but I don't have an invitation, and the family won't even let me into the hotel. So… I can only borrow the identity of the Nameless. Everyone in the galaxy knows you're the family's honored guests.""

"Pam" name, "Sea Wanderers" English.

Translation: "Pam asked curiously: 'Aren't the Sea Patrol Rangers also like that?'"

"Booth" name, "Wanderers", "Pinocony".

Translation: "Borteo instantly perked up: 'Oh! You hit the nail on the head… I'm here exactly for that! I can tell you— the Rangers are hunting an impostor, a cute little thing wearing our clothes and impersonating us, and she's currently in Pinokangni.'"

"Memkeeper", "memetic beings". fine.

Translation: '"My informant is a Memokeeper. Just like all meme creatures, she appears out of nowhere and vanishes just as quickly— truly terrifying. But she gave me an important lead.'"

"Sea Wanderer".

Translation: '"Who is the person impersonating the Sea Patrol Rangers?"'

fine.

Translation: '"Is this the third question?"'

fine.

Translation: '"Is it hard to answer?"'

"Booth", "Yiquan", "【Void】 Envoy". fine.

Translation: '"Not hard—I'm just afraid you won't believe it if I say it." Borteo shrugged. "That guy calls herself Huangquan; according to our sources, she's likely… a Void Emissary."'

——

We need to output 【11】 with translation. The line is just "——". Probably a separator line. We should translate as "——" maybe keep as is? The rule: translate faithfully. It's a dash line. We'll output same: "——". So 【11】 ——

"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End". fine.

same.

"Yiquan", "Void Envoy". fine.

Translation: '"Huh? He knows Huangquan is a Void Emissary, yet he dares to hunt her? His gall is unbelievable!"'

"Rustargh", "Booth", "gun", "Envoy". fine.

Translation: "Rutharck was instantly stunned—could it be that Borteo has some other means besides his gun that would give him the confidence to kill an Emissary?"

"Yiquan", "Envoy", "Path", "star god", "Zan Yin". fine.

Translation: '"First, Huangquan isn't an Emissary; second, even if she were, that doesn't mean they're completely unkillable… They've gone farther along their respective Path than others and received a glance from the Stellaron, but that doesn't make them particularly tough." Zan Yin tipped back a swig of beer, his face flushed.'

blank.

Thus: "... and received a glance from the star god, but that doesn't mean they're particularly tough."

fine.

Translation: '"In other words… ordinary weapons can kill them if they're defenseless?"'

fine.

Translation: '"Probably."'

"Feren", "Envoys", "demon lords". fine.

Translation: "Filien gave them a sideways glance: 'You two shouldn't talk about something so dangerous so casually—an Emissary is far more terrifying than a demon lord; provoke them… and the world would probably be doomed.'"

"Frieren", "Planet", "Envoy". fine.

Translation: '"But the fact is, we don't even have the qualifications to provoke them." Frieren blinked. "If I must say, our power is still confined to this planet—let alone killing an Emissary, we can't even see one. Unless one day they deign to visit our continent as guests, then maybe we'd have a chance to kill them."'

"purple-haired girl", "Lady Frieren". fine.

Translation: "The purple-haired girl sighed helplessly; Lady Frieren always likes to joke like that."

"Envoys", "【Destruction】 Envoy". fine.

Translation: "Among all the Emissaries, the one most likely to come to our continent would be Destruction, right? Do they seem like the type to pay a visit?"

——

【22】 ——

"Dan Heng". fine.

Translation: '"Dan Heng instinctively shook his head: 'This is impossible.'"

"Look at what I'm saying—don't worry, when I first got this news, my reaction was exactly the same as yours." Booth spread his hands.

Translation: '"See how I said it—don't worry, when I first got this news my reaction was exactly like yours." Borteo spread his hands.'

"IX never glances at anyone—that's only natural. What reason would He have to grant power to mortals?"

Translation: '"IX never glances at anyone—that only makes sense. What reason would He have to grant power to mortals?"'

"You must know that Envoys can hide their identities, and for many people, that's better. Otherwise, it means stepping onto the galactic battlefield of carnage, and even… betraying the Path they follow."

Translation: '"Then you must know that Emissaries can hide their identity, and for many people that's actually better; otherwise it means stepping onto the galactic stage of carnage, even… betraying the Path they follow."'

Booth grew more excited as he spoke: "I've actually had the fortune to witness a 【Joy】 Envoy—just looking at them, they're indistinguishable from those clowns. If I hadn't gotten lucky and drunk them up, I'd never have known the other side's identity was so illustrious."

Translation: "Borteo grew more excited as he spoke: 'I've actually had the luck to meet a Joy Emissary—just looking at her, she's indistinguishable from those clowns. If I hadn't gotten lucky and drunk her under the table, I'd never have guessed how exalted her identity truly was.'"

"Even the purest 【Hunt】 has the Astral Express Alliance in the light and the Sea Wanderers in the shadows. Paths are ultimately concepts created by people, so there must be something beyond our comprehension out there."

Translation: '"Even the purest Hunt has the Xianzhou Alliance in the light and the Sea Patrol Rangers in the shadows. Paths are ultimately human concepts; there must be something beyond our comprehension out there."'

"Thinking that there are no Envoys of 【Void】… maybe it's just because we aren't 【Void】 enough yet."

Translation: '"Thinking that Void has no Emissaries… maybe it's just because we aren't Void enough yet."'

"Cough cough… What did he say? Get the 【Joy】 Envoy drunk?"

Inside a pastry shop in Fontaine, Furina was leisurely enjoying her tea, but Booth's remark almost made her choke.

Translation: '"Cough cough… what did he say? Get a Joy Emissary drunk?"'

"So Envoys can get drunk too? I thought their power, far surpassing that of ordinary Pathfarers, would somewhat alter their physiology."

Translation: "Inside a pastry shop in Fontaine, Furina was leisurely enjoying her tea when Borteo's remark nearly made her choke."

"Hmm… how to put it? 'Getting drunk' actually fits my stereotype of 【Joy】 pretty well, but Furina… you can actually see a bit of that from General Jingyuan—Envoys are just specially favored by the star god in terms of power. General Jingyuan is so strong, yet even after getting injured, he still has to obediently follow medical advice." Navia said while picking up a macaron from the pastry stand and happily popping it into her mouth.

Translation: '"So Emissaries can get drunk too? I thought their power, far surpassing that of ordinary Pathfarers, would at least somewhat alter their physiology."'

"Kind of like… a divine eye?"

Translation: '"Hmm… how to put it? Being drunk fits my stereotype of Joy perfectly, but Furina… you can actually tell a thing or two from General Jingyuan—Emissaries are merely given extra favor by the star god in terms of power; General Jingyuan is so strong, yet even after getting injured he still has to obediently follow the doctor's orders." Navia said, picking up a macaron from the dessert tray and popping it into her mouth satisfied.'

"Not a bad analogy." Clorinde glanced at the divine eye on her own collar, saying, "People say that when a person's wish is strong enough, the gods cast their gaze upon them, and a divine eye is born. But even if someone possesses a divine eye and forms a connection with the gods, they're still mere mortals. Though divine eye bearers can't be compared to the far rarer Envoys, the principles behind them are probably similar."

Translation: '"Kind of like… a Vision?"'

Furina's eyes instantly dimmed as she recalled the divine eye she'd earned from her performance in *The Daughter of Water*. Upon obtaining it, she eagerly rushed to find the "local legend" she'd accidentally offended to get her revenge—only to suffer greatly.

Translation: '"Not a bad analogy." Clorinde lowered her gaze to the Vision pinned on her lapel, "People say that when someone's wish is strong enough, the gods cast their gaze upon them, and a Vision is born. But even if a person possesses a Vision and forms a bond with the gods, they remain mere mortals. Though Vision-bearers can't be compared to the far rarer Emissaries, the underlying principle should be roughly the same."'

Although the gods granted extraordinary power, humans remain humans—life and death are bound to our mortal flesh. Thinking this, Furina felt that Envoys weren't quite as lofty as they seemed.

Translation: "Furina's eyes instantly dimmed as she recalled the Vision she'd earned while performing *The Daughter of Water*; upon receiving it she'd eagerly rushed to take revenge on the "local legend" she'd inadvertently offended, only to suffer greatly."

"So you get it now? Your companion is in serious danger—quite dangerous, really. If you don't believe me, you can just send them a message to check. But I'd urge you to act quickly…"

Translation: "Although the gods grant extraordinary power, humans remain human, with life and death bound to mortal flesh. Thinking this way, Furina felt that Emissaries weren't quite as lofty as she'd imagined."

Booth looked out the window at the White Day Dream Hotel: "After all, neither of us knows what happened in the dream, nor how true the Memkeeper's words are… and what Yiquan actually plans to do."

Translation: '"So you get it now? Your companion is in serious danger—quite serious, actually. If you still don't believe me, you could just send them a message to check. But I'd advise you to act quickly…"'

On the other side, the Clorak Audiovisual Paradise.

Translation: "Borteo looked out the train window at the White Day Dream Hotel: 'After all, neither of us knows what happened in the dream, nor how truthful that Memokeeper's words are… nor what Huangquan actually intends to do.'"

「」

Translation: "" (empty line? Actually line is just three Chinese quotes? The line is 「」? It's an empty quoted string. We'll translate as empty quotes: """)

Inside the park, the display screen had been cleanly cut in two, leaving only a vivid slit, and even the distant sky was similarly split in half—this was the masterpiece of the purple-haired woman before us.

Translation: "On the other side, Clorak's amusement park."

Yiquan stood with one hand on her hip, her tone calm: "…I don't plan to do anything."

Translation: "The park's display screen had been cut clean in two, leaving only a vivid slit, and the distant sky was similarly split in half—this was the masterpiece of the purple-haired woman before us."

A Pipisi person stood before her, their youthful exterior belied by a low, hoarse male voice: "This isn't up to you."

Translation: "Huangquan stood with one hand on her hip, tone flat: '…I don't intend to do anything.'"

= "A Pipisi person stood before her, their youthful exterior belied by a low, hoarse male voice: "This isn't up to you.""

Translation: "A Pipisi person stood before her, their youthful appearance belied by a low, gravelly male voice: 'That's not up to you.'"

"Do you know? People who come to the Land of Dreams for the first time will unconsciously stop their steps, confirming they are still standing on solid ground. Then, they will simultaneously look up at the sky."
