Chapter 666: then title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities

"Brother, wouldn't it be better if you acted sooner? Why stay silent and pretend to be a master?"

Translation: "Brother, wouldn't it be better if you acted sooner? Why do you have to stay silent and pretend to be an expert?" Keep quotes? The Chinese includes double quotes inside. We should preserve the quoted speech? Probably keep the outer quotes as part of line? The line includes 「... 」. We should translate content inside, but keep the quotation marks? Usually we translate the quoted speech, but we can keep the Chinese quotation marks? Better to translate the content and keep English quotes? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add. The Chinese line includes 「」 as quotation marks. We can replace with English quotes? Might be considered adding? Safer to keep the Chinese quotation marks? But they said translate into English, so we should convert to English punctuation. Usually we translate the content and use English quotes. I'll output: 【"Brother, wouldn't it be better if you acted sooner? Why do you have to stay silent and pretend to be an expert?"】 but need to keep 【N】 prefix. So output: 【1】 "Brother, wouldn't it be better if you acted sooner? Why do you have to stay silent and pretend to be an expert?" Ensure single line.

"Star also found his unfazed expression puzzling: 'Did he resist the mental attack with his magic resistance?'"

Translation: '"I also wish it were so, but unfortunately, my magic resistance isn't cheating like your Saber's.' Archer shrugged. 'I originally wanted to see, in this abnormal universe, just how deep the hell in this monster's eyes could go. But now it seems your world still has hope and a way out.'" Need to keep quotes.

——

This is just an em dash line. Should we output same? Probably just output 【4】 —— (the em dash). Keep as is.

fate/zero。

We need to keep the period? Chinese line ends with 。 So translate? It's a title, keep as is? Probably keep same: fate/zero。 But we need to translate? It's a proper noun, keep as is.

Mordred almost choked on a sip of soda, coughing violently as she pounded her chest, barely managing to recover.

Why would Archer summon something like this?!"

Leon Jie blew out a smoke ring, the smoke blurring his scarred face. After a moment's thought, he proposed a relatively "reasonable" guess:

Translation: "Shizi Jie blew a smoke ring, the smoke blurring his scarred face. After a moment's thought, he offered a relatively 'reasonable' hypothesis:"

Translation: '"Huh? Then couldn't he also copy the sword in my hand?"'
