Chapter 738: and ===GLOSSARY=== sections

NO. 107: Actually, the beetle set isn't good for cooking.

Translation: "NO. 107: Actually, the insect set isn't good for cooking." Wait: "beetle set" likely means "insect set" or "beetle suit"? "beetle set" could be "beetle armor"? But we translate literally: "beetle set" = "beetle set"? The phrase "not good for cooking" means "not good for cooking". So "Actually, the beetle set isn't suitable for cooking." We'll keep as "Actually, the beetle set isn't good for cooking." Use exactly as source.

「Trainer, welcome back. 」

Translation: "... Trainer, welcome back." The ellipsis at start. Keep as "... Trainer, welcome back."

「Master, request confirmation of physical condition. 」

Translation: "Master, requesting confirmation of physical condition."

It's not a military commission, Bourbon—no one's hurt, and that crack in the armor is the work of an evil star that heralds someone's main invasion.

... Sirius senior?

You came so slowly!! Guinea pig!

Guess whose fault it is that I can't move?

First of all, it definitely isn't me.

What a severe lack of self-awareness, Miss Suzi—have you considered how it feels for the test subject to be trapped in a suit of armor?

I heard your job is to deal with a bunch of extraterrestrials from other worlds—this attitude would be much friendlier, wouldn't it?

Indeed it is. Thank you for your help, Suzi classmate.

……

Originally, Ailisuzhi was still carrying on a daily yin‑yang spat with the trainer, but the moment Ludaofu Xiangzheng appeared at the door she instantly wiped the smile from her face; and when she also saw the Sirius symbol nearby—someone she hardly ever interacted with—her face broke into that usual unfriendly grin.

I didn't expect the emperor to come in person; I'm really remiss in not greeting him properly.

It's nothing, Suzi classmate; I'm sorry to disturb everyone's training schedule, and Sirius and I are truly grateful for your magnanimity.

Ha, magnanimous?" Suzi curled her lip.

Given their years of back‑and‑forth with the student council, their relationship was never good to begin with.

As for that Sirius symbol, whose aggressiveness is almost identical to hers, she could hardly muster a friendly attitude toward it.

In response, her crimson eyes blazed as she sized up Ailisuzhi's Sirius symbol, and the corner of her mouth curled into the same unfriendly arc as the other's.

But that was all; she didn't say anything.

After all, the other party had named Ludaofu directly; if she shouted something, it would make her seem like an imperial lackey.

Sirius is skilled at spell‑fighting and billiards, and even better at training dogs, but only shows patience toward certain unruly fellows.

But perhaps in this room it's just the two of them like that.

... President, would you like a cup of coffee?" Chazuo, who had delivered coffee to the student council yesterday, said it casually.

Ah, thanks, but no need, Chazuo classmate—I and Sirius are just here to say hello.

Meanwhile, Bourbon hurried over to the junk pile, pulled out two intact chairs, quickly wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and said to the two, 'Please have a seat.'

This instantly made Suzi's brow twitch, and even the Sirius symbol opposite her felt its mouth corner spasm; the originally imposing smile began to falter.

The atmosphere could be said to be completely ruined, but if they directly started an internal feud and shouted at the two teammates, they'd undoubtedly become a laughingstock…… Ailisuzhi suddenly realized that having those two teammates was like having Carmel—

——but that obviously overlooked whether she herself was also a heavyweight.

If you're just here to say hello, you can leave now, right?

That's true, though perhaps I'll be coming by often next year, so please keep an eye on me then, Suzi classmate.

Huh? How am I supposed to look out for you?

For a moment she couldn't tell if this was some excessive yin‑yang thing, and Suzi froze.

To be frank, who at this school could make the emperor say such a thing? Only those with deeper seniority than her—people like Maruzen Sukī and the Qianming representatives—but even they only surpass her in seniority, so telling her to 'keep an eye out' is just nonsense.

Wait…… next year? Why is next year the premise?

In any case, see you later, Trainer Aomo.

See you later, Miss Ludaofu, Miss Sirius.

Tsk, next time I'll regain my standing!" As Suzi looked toward Aomo, the Sirius symbol's face still bore a hint of displeasure.

Being called out on her psychological complexity and that retaliatory contrariness made her reassess this young man who had initially caught her eye but whom she had never really taken seriously.

It's hard to imagine that when first seen on the subway he was just an interesting little fellow who needed more time to observe; half a year later he's become this, and even the Moon Chariot symbol was torn off by him, and even that old lady speaks highly of him.

Who would have thought a high‑school senior could rocket to this height in half a year—before him, everyone else's years of accumulation seem fake, and this is even more outrageous than Ludaofu.

At least Ludaofu's youth was shared with her; she personally witnessed his gradual buildup, and also saw how his family's expectations twisted him bit by bit, yet she couldn't help but acknowledge his effort and perseverance, and in that environment she felt a desire to help but didn't know how.

Then……

And this was accomplished by a kid she'd only just met?

The family reshuffled, Ludaofu's knot loosened, even Zhouri Ningjing couldn't get a good deal, and even the auspicious sign, when mentioning the family recently, marveled at his extraordinary ability.

Is that what you call extraordinary?

This is a monster, right!

Where did this monster kid come from, easily achieving what everyone had failed to do for over a decade—clearly I watched him grow from harmless…… seems not harmless either—

——Just thinking about the past data of Aomo Lindun, whom she only contacted recently through the Symbol family's intelligence gathering, she had to admit her initial impression of him on the subway was still too superficial.

If we're talking about being twisted, this guy is definitely more twisted than past Ludaofu.

He's the type she'd either beat up or keep her distance from.

As for Ludaofu, at least they grew up together; by the time he became obsessed, it was already too late, and she couldn't truly sever ties.

She could only look for chances in the 'prison', and the result was that they ended up long‑term cellmates.

With anyone else she wasn't close to, she wouldn't put up with the disgust to deal with them.

But now she has no room to run.

The Symbol family's reforms began dismantling the 'cells', and just as Ludaofu was about to be employed, she could no longer pretend to go abroad and throw herself wholeheartedly into competition as before; instead she observed remotely, waiting for a chance to act.

She would honestly help out, working as customer service and as an assistant.

And it's easy to imagine she'll have even more dealings with Aomo Lindun.

After all, that old lady is practically slated to be Ludaofu's trainer, and she might even move into the main household.

By then, it'll probably be a case of not seeing each other even when looking up or down.

「Merde (French profanity)! Absolutely not! 」

Shit (French profanity)! Absolutely not!

「If you can't run, you can only fight! You must throw a heavy punch! 」

Translation: "If we can't run, we have to fight! We must throw heavy punches!" Or "If we can't run, we can only fight! We must unleash heavy punches!" Keep meaning.

「Even if it's for Rudolf, and even for oneself who sees Rudolf as an enemy, one must harshly tame the opponent!! 」

Translation: "Even if it's for Rudolf, and for myself who regards Rudolf as an arch-enemy! I must thoroughly tame him!!" Need to keep double exclamation.

「But frankly, the strategy for training dogs cannot be used on snakes. 」

Translation: "But frankly speaking, the strategy for training dogs cannot be applied to snakes."

「Even the goodwill you rarely show will be flatly refused, and at the same time I'll give you a bite. 」

「Snakes also won't give a dog's reaction. 」

Translation: "Snakes also won't give a dog's reaction."

「With a simple 'Okay, I'll be waiting anytime.', the voice beneath the iron mask hid a smile, and it also caused the other party's face to begin showing a hash symbol. 」

With a simple 'Okay, I'll be waiting anytime.', the voice beneath the iron mask hid a smile, and it also caused the other party's face to begin showing a hash symbol.

「Definitely make you beg me for that chance again! 」

Translation: "\"I'll definitely make you beg me for another chance! \"" Keep quotes.

Sirius swore and went away together with Rudolf, and the words he left behind actually made Suzi prick up her ears.

「Isn't Miss Suzi already been waiting long? Why take the discussion topics from the table early」

Translation: "\"Isn't Miss Suzi already waiting long enough? Why take the conversation material from the table ahead of time? \""

The cold iron hand pushed that head back, and Aumo then spread his arms, glancing at the feet of the other two:

Translation: "The cold iron palm pushed that head back, and Aomo, taking advantage of the momentum, spread his arms and glanced at the feet of the other two:" Need to keep colon.

「You're all hungry, right? Let's go, Xi is waiting at the school gate; tonight we'll go out to eat. 」

「So generous? Did you make a big profit today? 」 Suzi looked doubtful.

Translation: "\"So generous? You made a big profit today? \" Suzi looked full of suspicion."

Even suspect that the trainer might have been swapped, after all this armor appearance is hard to say—although the light in the cracks is genuine.

Translation: "I even felt the trainer might have been swapped, after all this armor's appearance is hard to say—although the light in the cracks is genuine." Need to keep dash.

「Indeed, but more importantly, this is it. 」

Translation: "\"That's true, but more importantly, it's this. \""

「Aumo raised his hand, like spreading out a handful of cards, revealing several test tubes in his hand, their colorful liquid, and the test tubes themselves with strange crystal patterns, all matching the style of the crystal tubes that come with the secret key. 」

Translation: "Aomo raised his hand, like spreading a deck of cards, revealing the several test tubes in his hand; their colorful liquid, as well as the test tubes themselves with their strange crystal patterns, are all the same style as the crystal tubes that come with the secret key."

「Who is this drawn from again? 」

Translation: "\"Whose is this drawn again? \""

A few rather special transmigrators, by turning back, can give everyone a chance to try their luck.
