Chapter 1885: with translation of chapter title

~14 min read 2,709 words

NO. 503: Even though the prefix still needs to add an intern

That... Aomo-san?

Hmm?

Such a hotel... uh...

It seemed that not long ago he was still in a job interview, so he retained the appearance of a big pompadour and suit of an unemployed vagrant, now looking with extraordinary awe at the magnificent architecture that could be called a marvel before his eyes.

We must not add extra info. Keep all info: "It seemed that not long ago he was still in a job interview, so he still retained the big pompadour and suit appearance of an unemployed vagrant, now looking with extraordinary awe at the magnificent architecture that could be called a marvel before his eyes."

Make single line.

It also made his following words drop by eight degrees.

Is... Is it too extravagant a bit...

Hey! What's the problem~! The fashionable red-haired little sister who slapped his back hard grinned hippie-style; having already witnessed such astonishing architecture twice, she had no bit of cousin's nervousness, "Aomo-san said we can stay! Moreover, the second generation even leaked that there are big discounts! Besides, we'll need to go out and fight later!!"

We need to keep all info. Let's produce: "Hey! What's the problem~!" The fashionable red-haired little sister who slapped his back hard grinned hippie-style; having already witnessed such astonishing architecture twice, she had no bit of cousin's nervousness, "Aomo-san said we can stay! Moreover, the second generation even leaked that there are big discounts! Besides, we'll need to go out and fight later!!"

If we could choose, I still hope everyone can enjoy the holiday to the fullest. The youth who couldn't be considered the host but should be the inviter smiled somewhat helplessly.

Having friends who aren't combat specialists join the fight is really not my wish.

Not being a main job still counts as professional! Right, Qianjie!

【22】 Hurry hurry! The second generation and the badger have already gotten their numbers! Feel how the cosmetic surgery here is even worse than that in the Junction Gate Area back then!

Given the uncertainty, we should avoid guessing. The rule states: if we are unsure whether a term is a name or an ordinary word, we should translate its meaning rather than romanize it—except when it refers to a person; anything used as a person's name or habitual nickname must always be romanized in pinyin, never translated literally. In this case, the form of address is likely a nickname for a person, so we ought to romanize it. However, we do not know its pinyin spelling; it could be 'Qi Jie', since the first character is pronounced 'qiàn', giving 'Qiànjiě'. Consistency would be desirable, but we lack confidence. Perhaps we could render it as 'Qian Jie', though we are uncertain.

Considering the risk, we might treat it as an ordinary word like 'Sis Qian', but that would be a translation of its meaning. The rule states that if the term is a person's name or habitual nickname, we must romanize it. Although we are not certain it is a nickname, the context shows the speaker addressing someone with that term, which strongly suggests it is a nickname. Therefore we should romanize it. The pinyin for the term is 'qiànjiě'; omitting tone marks gives 'Qianjie'. We will adopt 'Qianjie'.

Thus line: "Not being a main job still counts as professional! Right, Qianjie!"

"Oh! That's for sure!" The pink-haired JK, who at some point had formed this close friendship with the little sister, spoke excitedly: "Little Snake is just being overprotective! I can now reach Diamond rank in solo queue!"

We need to decide whether to keep the term as a nickname. It is being used as a name for a person, likely a nickname for Gui She (which we previously saw as the term meaning 'ghost snake'). Since the term functions as a nickname used as a name, we should romanize it. Literally the term means 'little snake', but as a nickname we render it in pinyin: 'Xiao She'. We will output 'Xiao She'. Meanwhile, the description referring to pink-haired JK is merely a description, not a name.

Thus line: "Oh! That's for sure!" The pink-haired JK who at some point built this intimate friendship with the little sister spoke with an excited tone, "Xiao She is just overprotective! I can now climb to Diamond in solo queue!"

Is that what you're talking about?

The black-haired JK in a swimsuit, whose thighs were overly eye-catching, served as the youth's mouthpiece; although she couldn't understand that the friend's mention of 'Diamond' was a rank in a monster fighting game, this level of stubbornness itself wasn't hard to notice, and it instantly made her realize the other was arguing unreasonably.

We'll produce a single line.

... can't say it's no problem.

"?" She had thought the youth on her side would actually defect and agree, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

We need to keep the "?" as a spoken line. So output: "?" She had thought the youth on her side would actually defect and agree, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

But this is indeed a fact.

Although the game is just a game, given sufficient realism it can also serve as practical training, and its rank itself holds considerable reference value.

"Don't look at Xiao She like that; soon I'll let you feel what I mean by Diamond!"

"The pink-haired one just proudly pulled the other along, not forgetting to shout at the two not far away: 'Princess-san! Moya-chan! Let's go to the other side first!'"

We need to decide how to handle the two address terms. The first term literally means 'Princess-san'. Since 'Princess' is a title, not a personal name, the rule for official titles and ranks tells us to translate it, giving 'Princess'. The suffix '-san' is an honorific that we can keep, so we will render the term as 'Princess-san'. The second term contains a nickname component that functions as a name, so we should romanize that component. The nickname component is pronounced 'mèng yá', giving 'Mengya' without tone marks. The suffix '-chan' is an honorific, so we will output 'Mengya-chan'. In the absence of a glossary entry, we rely on romanization for the nickname.

Thus line: "The pink-haired one just proudly pulled the other along, not forgetting to shout at the two not far away: 'Princess-san! Mengya-chan! Let's go to the other side first!'"

"Hurry hurry! The second generation and the badger have already gotten their numbers! Feel how the cosmetic surgery here is even worse than that in the Junction Gate area back then!"

【51】 No matter the age, topics that never change are enough to make men step back, but the scene also has topics that equally attract men:

No matter the age, topics that never change are enough to make men step back, but the scene also has topics that equally attract men:

Long time no see, Neihai.

Yes! Sai Luo-san!

Aomo-san!

Aomo! Where are Gui She and the others?

They're on standby duty in the Junction Gate Area; if you want to visit, you can go straight there via the Ultraman Dyna Tyrannosaurus net.

Is Lu-san not here?

Still training Miss Muyu; if you go look for her now, you should catch her in the middle of her slope-overcoming training.

"Still training Miss Muyu; if you go look for her now, you should catch her in the middle of her slope-overcoming training."

Master, why do you know about the training over at Muyu?

Thus line: "Still training Miss Muyu; if you go look for her now, you should catch her in the middle of her slope-overcoming training."

Why? Probably because a certain Ultraman Jede keeps coming to me for roundabout consultation and training advice.

"Why? Probably because a certain Ultraman Jede keeps coming to me for roundabout consultation and training advice."

Although one could directly refuse, I suppose Bourbon would also hope to encounter an even more formidable Muyu.

Although the Chrysanthemum Prize can't be caught, after all the schedule is offset, but the Ancient Horse Year's race still has plenty of opportunities.

So the chestnut-red-haired horse girl was very satisfied with this answer.

Thank you very much, Master.

Although the Chrysanthemum Prize cannot be caught, after all the schedule is offset, but the Ancient Horse Year's race still offers plenty of opportunities.

The contract period has been over a year, so no matter what kind of trainer or horse girl, they shouldn't be startled anymore, let alone Aomo Lindun, this mirror-system trainer.

"Thank you very much, Master."

Mirror system: no matter what kind of horse girl, one can find similar outlines from it—this is a new trainer category track opened up within the industry after Aomo Lindun trainer indeed became popular.

The contract period has been over a year, so no matter what kind of trainer or horse girl, they shouldn't be startled anymore, let alone Aomo Lindun, this mirror-system trainer.

It's hard to say whether such a trainer existed in the industry before, after all 'judging people by the dish they serve' is commonly said, but achieving sufficient thoroughness and sufficient fame is difficult.

Aomo is quite willing to believe he can single-handedly open a category, merely because the predecessors of this category in the past lacked sufficient fame.

But that's digressing.

Although the summer training camp's training point has long had reporters staked out, Aomo also wouldn't get overly happy just because he welcomed a large batch of friends today and go find reporters to share the joy.

Rather, considering his intention to welcome these friends in advance, he instead wants to instruct everyone to refuse and avoid the reporters' gaze.

Maintaining the sense of mystery is very important.

Even though among those media there are always reckless ones daring to write one-sided reports, and there are countless netizens with vast divine abilities who can identify paper people just by appearance, thus letting information possibly fall into the ears of those with intent—demon trainers are also irrelevant.

But that's digressing.

The point isn't whether there's exposure or not; he thinks, the point is whether this exposure also lays bare before his own eyes.

That is to say, when Devouring Star Zero remains inserted as an eye position in the remnants of the cult, and when Belfy Beast and Barbarox. X can still normally participate in the Demon King conference, he doesn't need to insist on perfect information blockade; instead, he should appropriately reveal some gaps so the other side can see, lest he give too much pressure.

Maintaining the sense of mystery is very important.

Of course, saying it like that, but the aforementioned direction still needs sufficient attention, as well as a certain information channel, or rather luck.

Just as he doesn't doubt that the cult remnants can recognize Hibiki Yuta and the two Asa Nakahou, but for the Seven Demon Kings' side to know them, he'd probably still need to consult the former.

The point isn't whether there's exposure or not; he thinks, the point is whether this exposure also lays bare before his own eyes.

However, step back another step.

Thus line: "That is to say, when Devouring Star Zero remains inserted as an eye position in the cult remnants, and when Belfy Beast and Barbarox. X can still normally participate in the Demon King conference, he doesn't need to insist on perfect information blockade; instead, he should appropriately reveal some gaps so the other side can see, lest he give too much pressure."

In the meantime of waiting, he continues training the horse girls, and in his leisure time receives those extermination heavenly lords whom he ultimately summoned.

Just as he doesn't doubt that the cult remnants can recognize Hibiki Yuta and the two Asa Nakahou, but for the Seven Demon Kings' side to know them, he'd probably still need to consult the former.

At this time, the one whose days pass most awkwardly is actually Bi Ze.

Given uncertainty, maybe we keep as "the two Mazhongpeng". We'll output: "Hibiki Yuta and the two Mazhongpeng". Let's do that.

However, step back another step.

Even if information were shared, could the Demon Kings' real-world intelligence network notice the fresh faces Aomo will receive here? Could they care enough to watch through the entire 'Ultraman Cosmos', or specially go consult the cult remnants?

Even if information were shared, could the Demon Kings' real-world intelligence network notice the fresh faces Aomo will receive here? Could they care enough to watch through the entire Ultraman Cosmos, or specially go consult the cult remnants?

Thus saying, this direction actually has some thresholds for that side; whether it can happen still needs some gears to coordinate and push.

Will it happen or not? Aomo has no particular inclination either way, after all, for either case he has a convenient set of understandings to use, so he just needs to wait, thus continuing to wait.

In the meantime of waiting, he continues training the horse girls, and in his leisure time receives those extermination heavenly lords whom he ultimately summoned.

Sometimes enjoying group activities with friends and family; sometimes serving as a life mentor in small-scale male discussions; sometimes picking up the unfinished horse science popularization from a few months ago when he brought that person over to play; sometimes chatting with new-century middle schoolers and the Ultraman Cosmos knights whom he hasn't directly communicated with in a long time about the current state of the digital world.

Sometimes enjoying group activities with friends and family; sometimes serving as a life mentor in small-scale male discussions; sometimes picking up the unfinished horse science popularization from a few months ago when he brought that person over to play; sometimes chatting with new-century middle schoolers and the Ultraman Cosmos knights whom he hasn't directly communicated with in a long time about the current state of the digital world.

At this time, the one whose days pass most awkwardly is actually Bi Ze.

Mr. Bi's mind is full of wanting to continue his heroic story on Barbarox. X's side, but the crux right now is still waiting.

Hei'an area is obviously not a vacation spot.

He only persisted there for a week before contacting Aomo, accompanying Zhuohua, mingling with Yutai, Neihai and the others, letting Aomo maintain the sunk→Barbaromon X constant connection; as soon as an Ultimate Body Form meeting was needed, he instantly grabbed Bi Ze and flung him onto the screen, launching in a Fusion Evolution pose.

After this routine, even Aomo, who should be the most annoyed by the hassle, said nothing; instead, he himself couldn't achieve peace of mind, for whenever he thought, "Barbaromon X might need help any second," he couldn't calm down to enjoy the present.

It is precisely this state of constantly having worries that made his days awkward, and even led him to once seek advice from Aomo, Yutai, Shima/Leikeisi; the outcome, however, was far from ideal, for compared to the utterly different innate qualities of demons, heroes, and warriors, the essence of his mental foundation was not extraterrestrial but ordinary.

Ordinary mental construction, ordinary intellectual height—its extraterrestrial traits are merely the influence and shaping of his thought patterns and information reserves by an alien civilization and its data; if one seeks a more essential will and spirit, that is precisely ordinary.

But ordinariness is hardly a flaw; rather, it is a thoroughly impartial unrefined core.

Just like Aomo's source-energy aptitude, although none of his abilities stand out, he is far from being a worthless waste with zero stats; instead, it means there is potential in every direction, depending on how much one is willing to invest.

In fact, when he accepted Aomo's guidance with an ordinary mindset, embracing without avoidance the responsibility and commitment required by this friendship that could turn childhood dreams into reality, he had already begun stepping onto an extraordinary path.

He falls short of a hero, isn't even a warrior, and is vastly distant from the demon who guides hearts with demonic nature.

But he can at least be considered a brave one.
