Already done.
YelaGangde, codename Yela.
Yela Gangde, codename Yela.
Sika Ti, codename Sika Ti.
Sika Ti, codename Sika Ti.
Disappeared on the afternoon of June 25.
Translation: "They went missing on the afternoon of June 25." Keep numbers.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the two had met in Hall 2 of the Boundary Gate area's otherworldly Withered Sculpture Exhibition Hall at 14:24.
Translation: "A witness confirmed that the two had met and traveled together in Hall 2 of the Borderlands' Exotic Realm Border Gate Withering Sculpture Exhibition Hall at 14:24." Need to keep numbers. Already English but contains Chinese? No. We'll output that sentence exactly? But we need to ensure no Chinese characters. It's fine. However we need to output as line 【11】
"Did they go together to see the withered sculpture exhibition?" Aomo asked.
Translation: "\"Did they go together to see the withering sculpture exhibition? \" Aomo asked."
"It's an exhibition tour activity organized by a non-official organization, with a total of twelve armed agents participating."
Translation: "\"It was an exhibition tour activity organized by a non-official group, with a total of twelve armed operatives participating. \""
The man codenamed Undertaker, named Federico, is the result of a brief interaction, but for work purposes it's still more appropriate to address him by his codename, even though Federico's codename is overly distinctive.
Translation: "\"The man with the codename Funeral Director, named Federico, is the result of a brief exchange, but for work purposes it's still more appropriate to address him by his codename, even though Federico's codename is overly distinctive. \""
"That sounds like they're going to fight..." Lapland, sitting next to Nian in the last seat, said subtly.
Translation: "\"That statement sounds like they were going to fight... \" Lapland, sitting next to Nian on the last seat, said subtly."
We need to identify the names: the term that is a transliteration of 'Lapland' might be a codename but is actually a personal name; its pinyin would be Lapulan De (La‑Pu‑Lan‑De). However, it could be kept as Lapland. According to the guidelines, we should keep well‑known cultivation/fantasy terms in their common English forms, but for personal names we should use pinyin. So we should romanize it as Lapulan De, though that sounds odd; maybe it's intended to be Lapland. The glossary doesn't include it, so we need to decide. I think we should romanize it as Lapulan De. Another name is the character meaning 'year', used as the nickname Nian. In the sentence 'At the last seat, Lapland, who is sitting next to Nian, speaks oddly.', Nian is a person. As a name, we should keep it as Nian.
Thus line: "\"That statement sounds like they were going to fight... \" Lapulan De, sitting next to Nian on the last seat, said subtly."
But maybe better: "Lapulan De". We'll go with that.
So Omo glanced at her again in the rearview mirror.
Translation: "Thus Aomo glanced at her again through the rearview mirror."
Although it's true that Lapland is a Rhodes Island operator, unlike the unacknowledged ties with Penguin Logistics, Omo's intelligence also revealed something:
Translation: "Compared to the unrecognized relationship with Penguin Logistics over there, it's true that Lapulan De is an operative of Rhodes Island, but according to Aomo's intelligence understanding, he also learned something:"
However, she is not assigned by the Rhodes Island doctor.
Translation: "She is not among those assigned by the Rhodes Island doctor."
Instead, the ambiguous relationship with Penguin Logistics was what showed up in the vehicle.
Translation: "Instead, she appeared in the car due to the ambiguous relationship with Penguin Logistics."
No one present objected.
Translation: "No one present objected."
This could be trust, or it could be indifference.
Translation: "This might be trust, or it might be indifference."
After all, according to Omo's observations over the past ten minutes, the undertaker, Nian, and Lapland are not close.
Translation: "After all, based on Aomo's observation over the past ten minutes, the relationship among the Funeral Director, Nian, and Lapulan De is not close."
Even though Miss Nian is very enthusiastic and somewhat like a social butterfly, she hardly spoke with the other three, including Mostima, and instead showed a blatant disregard for traffic rules, frequently disturbing the driver.
Translation: "Even though Miss Nian is enthusiastic and somewhat of a social butterfly, she hardly spoke to the other three, including Mostima, instead showing a blatant disregard for traffic rules, frequently disturbing the driver."
Indeed, strictly speaking, only Omo is a pure outsider unrelated to Rhodes Island among the people in the car; they all know each other, so they mostly talk to Omo as a newcomer, and this behavior is completely understandable.
Translation: "Indeed, strictly speaking, among the people in this car only Aomo is a pure outsider unrelated to Rhodes Island; they all know each other, so they mostly talk to Aomo as a newcomer, and this behavior is completely understandable."
However, at the start of the mission's intelligence exchange segment, there really shouldn't be much unrelated chatter; Omo values efficiency, and he is very satisfied with his communication with the undertaker.
Translation: "However, at the start of the mission's information exchange segment, there really shouldn't be much unrelated chatter; Aomo values efficiency, and in this regard he was very satisfied with his communication with the Funeral Director."
The undertaker's personality is like a Mire Bourbon that isn't overly mechanical—rigid and by the book, yet lacking subtle verbal tics, and his speech tends to be somewhat indirect rather than straightforward.
Translation: "The Funeral Director's personality is like a not-so-mechanical Bourbon, methodical yet without a subtle verbal tic, and his speech logic is somewhat winding rather than straight."
Perhaps it can be seen as the first‑stage target standard of the Mire Bourbon correction plan.
Translation: "Perhaps it can be seen as the first-stage target standard of the Bourbon correction plan."
However, the trainer's ad‑hoc segment should end here; the driver should focus on the road ahead, even if he still needs to explain things to Lapland.
Translation: "However, the trainer's 'spontaneous moment' segment should end here; the driver, while driving, should focus on the road ahead, even if he still needs to explain to Lapulan De:"
It's simply because Rhodes Island has many staff categories, so they deliberately emphasize being an armed operator.
Translation: "\"It's simply because Rhodes Island Company has many staff categories, so they deliberately emphasized being armed operatives. \""
Yeah, Rhodes Island divides things in this way excessively detailed, Nian said: 'Logistics specialists, office staff, engineering department workers, and even combat personnel are further subdivided under their positions.'
Translation: "\"Yeah, Rhodes Island divides this way in excessive detail, \" Nian said, \"logistics specialists, office staff, engineering staff, etc.; even combat personnel are further subdivided under their positions. \""
Heavy‑armor operators can be split into branches like Iron Shield, Guardian, Indomitable, and Law‑bound Iron Shield, right?
Translation: "\"Heavy-armored operatives can be divided into Iron Shields, Guardians, the Unyielding, Law-wielding Iron Shields, etc., right? \""
Omo had heard of this before; he'd seen people complain about it online.
Translation: "Aomo had heard of this before, having seen people complain about it online."
While refining tactical categories does make deployment easier, to those who aren't commanders it just looks like a bloated mess.
Translation: "Tactical classification refinement indeed facilitates deployment, but to those not in command, it just looks like a bloated mess."
"So the records emphasize armed operators merely as a refinement of identity, not that this is some kind of armed combat," Omo said, taking advantage of the red‑green light to pull up more detailed files.
Translation: "\"So the record emphasizes armed operatives merely as a refined identity, not that this is some kind of armed combat, \" Aomo said, taking advantage of the red light to pull up more detailed files."
After all, he's not very familiar with either Scathach or Yela; the former is a bit better, he at least has some impression of its combat ability, while the latter he knows almost nothing about.
Translation: "After all, he's not very familiar with either 'Sika Ti' or 'Yela'; the former is somewhat better, he at least has some impression of their combat ability, while the latter……"
Gazing at the female ID photo with black hair whose ends and inner sides show a color even more rebellious than Uma Musume's hair, Omo wondered, "Who is this person?"
Translation: "Gazing at the female ID photo with black hair whose ends and inner sides show rebellious discoloration even more extreme than that of Uma Musume, Aomo wondered, 'Who is this person?'"
After searching his memory to the end, the only thing he could recall was the event called "Eternal Night's Dawn", which brought to mind the TV‑appearing Dawn Miss; besides that, he had no concept of the person "Yela Ogde".
Translation: "After carefully searching the recesses of his memory, the extent of it is the event titled 'Eternal Night's Dawn,' which only lets him recall the televised Miss Dawnlight; besides that, he has no concept of the person 'Yela Gangde'."
Then, seeing that the file rated her combat ability as D, left him completely stunned.
Translation: "Then, seeing that the file rated their combat ability as D, he was utterly stunned."
"Mr. Undertaker, is your company's combat rating based on the federal standard?"
Translation: "\"Mr. Funeral Director, does your company's combat rating follow federal standards? \""
"Yes." The undertaker was sparing with his words.
Translation: "\"Yes. \" The Funeral Director was sparing with words."
A D‑level threat, on par with Charles Lantel, is already a dangerous individual capable of threatening the border zone; by comparison, Scathach's rating is still E, which doesn't seem like a major threat.
Translation: "A D‑level threat, on par with Charles Luntel, is already a dangerous figure capable of threatening the Border Gate Zone; by comparison, Sika Ti's rating is still E, which doesn't seem like a major threat."
He had thought Scathach would be a major figure, given that he remembered the event 'Under the Nest', and felt there was some kind of Lovecraftian monster connection.
Translation: "He had thought Sika Ti would be a major threat, after all his memory holds records of the event 'Under the Overturned Nest,' making him feel there's some kind of Lovecraftian monster connection."
No, wait…… Omo reconsidered, and after the traffic light he put both hands back on the steering wheel and asked: "Miss Yela, are you some kind of giant beast or a deity?"
Translation: "No, wait…… Aomo reconsidered, and after the red light he put both hands back on the steering wheel and asked: \"Miss Yela, are you some kind of giant beast or deity? \""
After this question was posed, the car fell into a brief silence of a few seconds.
Translation: "After this question was posed, the car fell into a brief silence of a few seconds."
Omo didn't turn his head, because the rearview mirror was enough to observe everyone.
Translation: "Aomo didn't turn his head, because the rearview mirror was sufficient to observe everyone."
In this vehicle modified with modern technology, there should be such a rearview mirror that can be electronically adjusted.
Translation: "In this car modified with contemporary technology, there should be such a rearview mirror that can be electronically adjusted."
Thus he could see the undertaker's stunned expression, Nian's surprise, and Lapland's confusion.
Translation: "Thus he could see the Funeral Director's deadpan expression, Nian's surprise, and Lapulan De's puzzlement."
As for Mostima in the passenger seat, she merely kept her faint smile.
Translation: "As for Mostima in the passenger seat, she merely maintained her faint smile,"
"Perhaps I'm being presumptuous, but if we want to solve the problem, I'd like to obtain as much information as possible," Omo said, slowly pulling over and showing his driver's license at the checkpoint to the foreign region.
Translation: "\"Perhaps I'm being presumptuous, but if we're to solve the problem, I'd like to obtain as much information as possible, \" Aomo said, slowly pulling over and presenting his driver's license at the checkpoint of the exotic realm's entrance."
Beside him, Mostima also handed over a Penguin Logistics registration certificate, which he took and presented together with his license.
Translation: "Meanwhile, Mostima beside him handed over a Penguin Logistics registration certificate, which he took and presented together."
"Well, it's not really presumptuous, just a bit surprising," Miss Nian said, and the iron rod in her hand swung open like a folding fan.
Translation: "\"Not exactly presumptuous, just a bit surprising, \" Miss Nian said, as the iron rod in her hand swayed open like a folded fan."
Omo indeed saw some resemblance to Chairman Akikawa in her.
Translation: "Aomo indeed saw a shadow of Thus we output: Thus we output: QiuChuan, the chairman, in her."
"Mostima said you know our travelers, but she didn't say you don't know that Yela," Lapland remarked, "You don't know that Yela, yet you can make this guess?"
Translation: "\"Mostima said you know our time‑traveler, but you didn't say you don't know Yela, \" Lapulan De remarked, \"if you don't know Yela, how could you make such a guess? \""
"Based on my understanding of your homelands, beings that look human yet have such high combat ratings are usually related to giant beasts or deities."
Translation: "\"Based on my understanding of your homelands, beings that look human yet have such high combat ratings are usually related to giant beasts or deities. \""
Omo said, retrieved his documents, started moving again, drove across the boundary with noticeable resistance, and reached the foreign land.
Translation: "Aomo said, retrieving his documents, then restarted the car, drove across the noticeably resistant border, and arrived at the exotic realm's land."
"Well, there's no real problem," Nian said, raising her chin, "Yela is indeed my kindred in some sense; do you understand what I mean?"
Translation: "\"Not really a problem, \" Nian tilted her chin, \"Yela is indeed my counterpart in some sense—do you understand? \""
"Some kind of meaning?"
Translation: "\"In what sense? \""
Then there is a difference.
Translation: "\"Then there are differences. \""
"That's understandable," Omo nodded, "and I can even understand why they called me."
Translation: "\"That's understandable, \" Aomo nodded, \"and I can even understand why they called me. \""
The woman akin to a god‑fragment and the woman related to a deep‑sea giant beast both disappeared at that hall; the people they point to also have the Golden Bridge card—indicating high danger and a direct link to monsters.
Translation: "\"Women akin to divine shards, and women related to deep‑sea giant beasts—these two disappeared in that hall, and the crowd they point to bears the Jingu Bridge card—highly dangerous, and it also directly links to monsters. \""
Can Penguin Logistics still take on such a job?
Translation: "\"Can we still get such work from Penguin Logistics? \""
I thought I was still in the office.
Translation: "\"I thought I was still at the office. \""
No wonder the team is composed this way; considering the threat level involved in this case, Omo even feels that the undertaker and Lapland's combat abilities might be somewhat awkward.
Translation: "\"No wonder the team is composed this way; considering the threat level involved in this case, Aomo even feels that the Funeral Director and Lapulan De's combat abilities might be somewhat awkward. \""
"The two intelligence officers the doctor had intended to assign were unavailable, so at this time Mr. Emperor recommended you," the undertaker explained.
Translation: "\"The doctor originally intended to assign two intelligence officers, but they couldn't free up their hands; at this point Mr. Emperor recommended you, \" the Funeral Director explained."
"Are you the one who organizes these data?"
Translation: "\"Are you the organizer of these data? \""
Aomo recalled that the signatures at the end were Harmony and Dawn Song, respectively, and they also looked like code names.
"Organizing information is what they do in their spare time; the Doctor has other tasks assigned to them, this world is really busy," Nian shrugged, "there's just no end to the work."
"But there are also plenty of interesting things," Lappland said with a grin, "If it were on that Terra land, it would be hard to see something that could even make that penguin unable to sit still."
【Frankly, I've been using the Switch Source app to read and follow updates, switching sources, many voice options,. huanyuanapp available on Android and iOS.】
"So I'm working as an information officer and a monster consultant?"
"Exactly!" Nian switched to Eastflame Mandarin, then turned to look at the blue-haired fallen angel sitting in front, "Because it's a cooperation between Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics, Penguin Logistics has the numerical advantage, the captain is Mostima, but I think she's likely planning to push it onto the undertaker or yours."
"If I were to also take on the titles of driver, information officer, and monster consultant, plus captain, I'd suspect this is some kind of bullying behavior."
"But if monsters were to appear, my judgment has a not-low chance of error."
"The undertaker said calmly."
"……Alright!"
