Chapter 1208: with translation of chapter title

NO．112：Who's in the new weekend job!

Translation: NO．112：Who's in the new weekend job!

But we need to keep the punctuation and style. Chinese: "NO．112：Who's in the new weekend job!" The title includes a fullwidth colon and exclamation. We'll translate: "NO．112：Who's in the new weekend job!" Keep the same punctuation? We'll use English colon and exclamation. Probably okay.

How long has it been since that comic expo? For Aomo, the length of time is utterly insignificant.

Translation: How long has it been since that comic convention? For Aomo, the length of time is the most irrelevant thing.

We need to keep Aomo as Aomo.

This year, he has an especially keen grasp of the breadth of time.

Translation: This year, he has an especially deep understanding of the breadth of time.

In just a few days, you can embark on a lifetime‑unforgettable adventure; in just a few days, you can confront the foes threatening the federal bloc; in just a few days, you can uncover the plot against the Federal Horse Girl General Training Academy; and then, in just a few days after that…

Translation: In just a few days, he could embark on an unforgettable adventure; in just a few days, he could face enemies threatening the federal bloc; in just a few days, he could encounter a plot against the Federal Horse Girl General Training School; and then, in just a few days after that…

We need to keep the ellipsis. We'll translate as "...", but Chinese uses four dots? We'll use "……" maybe keep as "……". We'll output exactly as Chinese punctuation? We'll use "……". We'll keep the same.

It's as if a switch has been flipped, triggering related incidents; suspected events tied to the horse‑racing world drag him back in.

Translation: It was as if a switch had been flipped for related incidents, and events possibly linked to the horse racing realm dragged him in again.

Aachen。

Translation: Aachen.

Worth noting, the Demon Realm Zone is an independent major district, with each sub‑region divided according to the real‑world federal region it's attached to.

Translation: It's worth noting that the Demon Realm Area is an independent large district, with each subregion divided according to the real-world federation it belongs to.

The Demon Realm Zone where Aomo Linton's hometown is located is officially called the Baud Demon Realm Zone, not the Aachen Demon Realm Zone.

Translation: Aomo Lindun's hometown lies in the Demon Realm Area, officially called the Bode Demon Realm Area, not the Aachen Demon Realm Area.

Aachen merely happens to be the city at the entrance of the Baud Demon Realm Zone, and is thus commonly referred to by its residents as the "hometown gate".

Translation: Aachen happens to sit at the entrance of the Bode Demon Realm Area, so residents of the Bode Demon Realm Area often call it the hometown gate.

Though it's the hometown gate, it's a bustling one.

Translation: Although it's the hometown gate, it's a very bustling gate.

It's like the early frontier zone—though it belongs to the Baud district's cities, it encompasses the old Three Kingdoms culture.

Translation: It's just like the early gate district, although it belongs to the Bode Area city, it nevertheless encompasses the old Three Kingdoms culture.

Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Translation: Germany, Belgium, Netherlands.

Long before the federation was formed, Aachen served as the territorial junction of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands; a boundary marker five kilometers from the city center directly bears the name of one nation on one side.

Translation: Even before the federation was founded, Aachen served as the territorial junction of those three countries, with a boundary marker five kilometers from the city center directly inscribed with one country's name on one side.

Moreover, its position at the exact center of the European continent has earned it the nickname "the heart of Europe".

Translation: Moreover, because its location sits at the exact center of the European continent, it's known as the heart of Europe.

Moreover, because Charlemagne once ruled much of Western Europe and Aachen was his kingdom's capital, some scholars also call it "the cradle of Europe".

Translation: At the same time, because Charlemagne once ruled half of Western Europe, and Aachen was the capital of his kingdom, some scholars also call it the "Cradle of Europe."

After the federation was formed, because the bloc divisions largely followed the old territorial boundaries, Aachen's special definition was preserved, making it arguably the most open city in the Baud district.

Translation: After the federation was later established, because the zoning basically followed the old territorial divisions, Aachen's special definition has been retained, and it can be called the most open city in the Bode Area.

Given the stereotypical image people have of Baud residents, it's worth imagining just how rare the label "most open" can be.

Translation: Given the stereotypical image people have of Bode folk, just imagine how rare the definition "most open" can be.

Of course, this is largely thanks to the two external‑zone groups.

Translation: Of course, this is largely thanks to the blessings of two external region groups.

Outsiders, extraterrestrials, non‑human species, and even the occasional traveler—though it resembles the earliest frontier zone, its development and scale are nowhere near comparable to the actual continent‑level frontier zones.

Translation: Outsiders, extraterrestrials, non-human species, and even though uncommon, there are still transmigrators—although it resembles the earliest gate district, in terms of development and prosperity scale it is far from comparable to the actual continent‑level gate districts.

However, among cities of similar size, it clearly ranks among the very best.

Translation: But among cities of similar scale, it clearly ranks among the very best.

It boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage, along with advanced industry, education, and technology.

Translation: It boasts a long‑standing cultural accumulation, and furthermore possesses advanced industry, education, and technological development.

And while one might expect a highly industrial, technologically advanced area to have a poor environment, it instead boasts remarkably beautiful natural scenery—

Translation: And while one might assume that advanced industry and technology imply a poor environment, it actually boasts exceptionally beautiful natural scenery——

———Aachen is a city nestled in a mountain basin.

Translation: ——Aachen is a mountain‑basin city.

Not only is the scenery picturesque, but it also features renowned hot‑spring resources, welcoming many visitors from afar each year.

Translation: Not only is the scenery picturesque, but it also has renowned hot‑spring resources, receiving many vacationers from afar each year.

This place has never lacked an influx of outsiders, and the flip side is that it's easy for outside troublemakers to slip in.

Translation: There has never been a shortage of foreign residents here, and another implication of that is that it's easy for dangerous outsiders to mix in.

Real‑name checks? Security screenings? These standard inspection measures can only stop ordinary‑level offenders.

Translation: Real name? Security checks? These standard inspection and interception measures can only stop ordinary‑level criminals.

In this battle of wits and courage, there's never a permanent winner, and don't assume a low surface crime rate means you can ignore security.

Translation: In that battle of wits and courage, there has never been a permanent winner; moreover, don't think that a low surface crime rate means you don't need to worry about public safety.

"Saying that's the case, but we're not here to check criminals," Akane pulls out a yukata from the closet and hands it to Selenia, then immediately looks toward Aomo, who is overlooking the night‑time hot‑spring scene from the balcony, "It's been a week already—do we really need to worry so much? Hmm… the yukata styles here are pretty plain; why not wear the ones I prepared?"

Translation: "Well, that's what they say, but we're not here to check criminals," Xintiao Qian pulled a yukata from the closet and handed it to Qieliènina beside her, then glanced at Aomo, who was overlooking the night‑time hot‑spring scene from the balcony, "It's been a week already—do we really need to care that much? Hmm… the yukata style here is pretty plain; why not wear the one I prepared?"

Halfway through speaking, she turned her head again to chat with Selenia; Miss Shinjo obviously just wanted to focus on enjoying the vacation.

Translation: She had only spoken halfway when she turned her head again to chat with Qieliènina; Miss Xintiao obviously just wanted to focus on enjoying the vacation.

After all, though it's called a vacation, it's still just a regular weekend off; subtract the four hours needed for round‑trip travel, and the remaining time is awfully short!

Translation: After all, although it's called a vacation, it's actually just the usual weekend off, and after subtracting the four hours needed for the round trip, isn't the remaining time really short!

Although getting from Tokyo to Aachen in just two hours is already a rare feat—achievable only with high‑end earth‑bound vehicles—Miss Shinjo remains somewhat dissatisfied.

Translation: Although getting from Tokyo to Aachen in just two hours is already quite rare, and achieving that speed in earthly vehicles is a high‑end option, Miss Xintiao is still somewhat dissatisfied.

———Obviously, Little Snake could just use a monster‑card teleport to arrive instantly!

Translation: ——Obviously, Little Snake could just use a monster‑card teleport to arrive instantly!

Although intercontinental transfer consumes a lot of stamina—far more than when we brought Lin Reki to Changbai Mountain last time—it's not impossible to bear.

Translation: Although intercontinental teleportation consumes a lot of stamina—far more than when I once brought Xiao Lin Li Qi to Changbai Mountain—it's still not unbearable.

But the issue isn't here; it's that cross‑district travel inherently requires paperwork.

Translation: But the problem isn't here; it's that cross‑district travel inherently requires paperwork.

Things like passports—even the quickest temporary clearance takes half a day.

Translation: Things like passports, even with expedited review, take at least half a day.

This time it was processed within two hours, thanks entirely to Rhode Island pulling some strings outside normal company channels.

Translation: This time it could be done within two hours, thanks entirely to Rhode Island pulling some back‑channel strings outside normal company procedures.

Given that time frame, Aomo also readily accepted Rhode Island's suggestion—riding together with the other temporary colleagues in the vehicles they provided, and not leaving any of the permitted companion seats empty.

Translation: Since that's the time required, Aomo simply accepted Rhode Island's suggestion—riding together with the other temporary colleagues in the vehicles they provided, and not leaving any of the permitted companion seats empty.

Aside from being a Rhode Island employee herself, Selenia Texas—cleared to accompany by the doctor—along with Akane Shinjo, Airisu, and Miuha Bourbon, all came.

Translation: Besides being a Rhode Island employee herself, and with the doctor permitting Qieliènina Texas to accompany them, Xintiao Qian, Ailisuzhi, and Meipu Bohang all came along.

Although the Manchester Chazuo is also quite urgent, this sensible girl is still in the apologetic comforting "friend" segment, and for now she still doesn't dare mention Aomo to Zhouri Ningjing, let alone directly abandon her and run off to go on a distant trip with Aomo outside the area.

As for the always not-so-honest Aimu Zhiji, having already invited the three before, they couldn't leave Aizhi out, so Aomo likewise sent an invitation.

Then she was rejected.

Claiming she had a prior engagement with Zhenjiling, Qianming, and a few others, calling it an excuse would be a bit far-fetched, but to say it's true… no, it should be true; although Aizhi is often a bit awkward, when it comes to turning down invitations she has always been clean and decisive.

Moreover, if she really wanted to make an excuse, she wouldn't need to drag Qianming and Rudolf into it.

But when did they become this close?

At last week's doujin exhibition, when I saw them together, weren't they still quite distant?

When Aomo received the news, he was inevitably doubtful, but no matter what, it's a good thing for the girls to actively expand their social circles.

Originally he had also worried more than once that his approach of pushing them along was not ideal; better to teach them to fish than to give them fish, and now even the one least likely to fish has started baiting the hole, leaving him astonished and even a bit moved.

Either way, having one fewer person is also a good thing, after all, to be frank, he isn't here on vacation.

Although the girls traveling with him are indeed here to vacation and relax, and even have some curiosity about Aomo's hometown.

But the reason Aomo came here himself is still because of work.

Rhodes Island's research on Gritzacard hit a bottleneck; among the breakthroughs discussed in the meeting, the top priority was the power optimization of the Black Crown (Civilization's Survival), which requires the sole designated decoding expert of the Black Crown: Teleixya's help.

If it were a few days ago, one could directly find her at the headquarters of the Clock Tower in Hongying District, but these days she happens to be in the Berde Demon Realm District.

The newly emerged security company in the Berde Demon Realm District, the Kazdarel Military Committee, although its internal registered name is the National Defense Committee, it is apparent that in the Terra Federation, which has long discarded the concept of other nations, casually using the term "National Defense" is not a good thing.

On the contrary, the Military Committee and such, although as a security company's name it is somewhat presumptuous and arrogant, there are not a few companies that do this, so the name that has long existed in Rhodes Island's hometown can continue here.

The chairperson is Teleixis, and the vice chairperson is Teleixya.

The latter has already obtained a double-major doctorate in source energy and computing from the Demon Realm District Institute of Technology, and rumor has it that she has recently been diverting resources to higher education construction; for this purpose she has been shuttling between various academic institutions, including the Clock Tower, an otherworldly educational organization.

The Demon Realm District Institute of Technology is not merely one of those transfer stations; it is also her alma mater where she has found her footing in this world, and the Demon Realm District is the base that Kazdarel has decided upon in this world.

Moreover, the power optimization of the Black Crown cannot be done just anywhere.

Civilization's Survival, also known as the DWDB-221E project's crystallization, looks like a fantasy tool, but in substance it is the condensation of pure cutting-edge technology; its modification requires a laboratory of equivalent specifications and a series of equipment.

Placing this in the Terra of Rhodes Island's hometown is unrealistic; even if there is a doctor who is a pre-civilization survivor, it would not take a short time, and at the same time one would need to marshal the strength of that side's alliance.

Putting it in the Holy Terra Federation is another matter.

The Kazdarel Military Committee already had a complete set of equipment in the Demon Realm Zone base, originating from the leftover attempts of Teleixiya when she first arrived in this world.

For this, we first need Teleixisi to bring over the Black Crown, preferably together with the monster card that needs to be analyzed using it.

If that's all, then just having Teleixisi and Aomo Lindun come over once would be enough, but in fact, on the urgent transport vehicle that Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. applied for under the standards of the Otherworld Embassy, sat an entire team including the Doctor.

The cargo hold was even more filled with various precious instruments, making the entire air transport process appear overly smooth.

It is quite evident that this is not merely coming over to upgrade some experimental components.

On Rhodes Island's side, they are physically moving the entire research project here.
