===Question about V2C8 A Kind Land ~Tomorrow Never Comes~===
Hi! I'm sorry, it's a trivial matter so you don't have to answer right away ^_^

This has been bugging me... I've been doing some light reading to pick my next chapter and chanced upon this one. I was conflicted with the translation of the phrase, 仕込んだ自分の教え子に. It's from the ff. words of the gunsmith, about Master:

「昔、仕込んだ自分の教え子に、自分を〝師匠〟と呼ばせている、凄腕の有段者がいた。旅人だったんだが、流れながらあちこちでトラブルに首を突っ込んだ。腕があまりにも立ちすぎて、いろいろな国で睨《にら》まれたり、感謝されたりした。……だいぶ前の話だ。今はもう、生きていても相当の年だと思う」

I'm doubtful because in the anime the gunsmith said that Master was ''his'' student. It never occurred to me that this gunsmith could possibly be Master's student because of that, but now that I remember it he gave Kino Woodsman which might be the .22 caliber persuader of Master's student.... 0_0 Was he really? I think the translation of that particular phrase would answer my question.

Hey! :) Well, I would've translated it as "Once, I was apprenticed to an expert gunslinger, who had me call her 'Master'..." And you are correct, he is almost definitely her "student", who is usually referred to as「少し背の低いハンサムな男」

As for the anime – sorry, I haven't watched it :P

Aaack... Shocking revelations for the day: 1) O-deshi-san/nimotsu-mochi is dead?! 2) The English dub is wrong OR it was deliberately changed since he's not in the story anyway... Thank you very much for the confirmation! I can now sleep in peace (and mope around and mourn his death...T_T) [[User:Ella.servantes|Ella.servantes]] 08:04, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

Yeah, unfortunately his journey came to an end... But there are plenty of stories depicting his adventures with Master, when they were young :)

Btw, I've watched this episode, and I'm hearing「昔、教え子に自分を『師匠』と呼ばせる凄腕の女パースエイダー使いがいた。…」= "once there was a woman-gunslinger who made her students call her 'Master'." Although he is not explicitly saying that he was her student, but he's implying it. So the dub ''is'' wrong.

Phew... I'm done grieving for him...*_* Now I'll get back to work (and will be a bit more wary of English dubs). Thanks again! :) [[User:Ella.servantes|Ella.servantes]] 18:38, 6 August 2012 (CDT)
