Well first i would like to Express my gratitude towards the translators and editors that have help bring this amazing LN, Which i think is beyond exciting to read. Well since i just finish reading volume 6 i was a little confused about the way it ended, just wanted to clarify. The reason why there was light surrounding Restia was because she was transported out of the blade dance? She is not dead is she? :roll: I am sorry if this may seem as stupid questions but i am trying to stay away from spoilers. At least the major ones. :D
Thanks.
Restia is a spirit and with so much of her power lost in battle she has to take a bit of time to recover. It similar to how Scarlet dissapeared for a while in volume 1.

Is it...bad that I don't get the joke?

On another note, I can't seem to think of an English equivalent for 「裏返ったような悲鳴」. Just what kind of word in the English language has that much impact when used to describe a scream...I'll just be releasing it with a really down-played version, but it'd be great if somebody figures out how to make it more accurate.

It's a Chinese thing.

Also, bloodcurdling scream.

Who gives a blood-curdling scream in shock...

Let me add some more context: Kamito grabs Claire's hand as she's about to leave. It's on chapter 1's translation so please look there if you need more context.

If it's a loud scream of shock/surprise you could try "shriek".

Thanks again for the updates. It wasn't even two weeks ago that I was still in the middle of volume 5, and now I'm already halfway through 7. Great work, keep it up.

Hey guys, I have finally started to read this LN, and I must say I quite like what I am reading thus far.

Thanks for the awesome work translating this series at such a breakneck pace! :lol:

Have been doing quite a bit of editing as well, if any here can check my edits, please do so and tell me if there is anything wrong with it thanks!
Don't you just love reading? I think it is one of the joys of life, where we can escape the cold reality of the world and exist in something so much more fun and exciting! ^_^

Yes, I did enjoy this series tremendously :D

If you look at it properly, I actually edited from volume 1 to volume 6 in 4 days, not too bad a speed I think? 8)

However, I hope that someone will actually look through my edits and see if they are appropriate or not, because I am also human and will tend to make mistakes. In any case, once again thanks to the awesome translators who are going through this series really really quickly :lol:

Hahaha that is totally to be expected, since this series really starts to pick up its pace from volume 7 onwards.

At the time of typing this, I have reached volume 7, chapter 7. Now I am going to wait patiently for the next few chapters muahahaha :lol:
