====Chapter Title====
I used 'Deviant' in the title as a translation of chijo「痴女」 although chijo is a term specifically for females. 'slut' is kind of sharp tone wise and implies Twoearle sleeps around, which afaik she doesn't, and 'whore' and 'harlet' are quite old in tone. I thought either 'pervert' or 'deviant' might carry okay, and since 'pervert' comes up so often in conversations I went with the latter. A pretty subjective decision though

====Souji's Mum's Title====
Twoearle uses the title shougun「将軍」after Miharu's name here, but this word just means what we would call a 'General' or similar. I take the liberty here of using 'Admiral' here to try and capture the "evil intergalactic organization tone" here, but I might look more into this later and see if there's a particular term they used in the Volume 1 translation (although in story this is essentially a headcanon between these two characters and might not remain consistent).
