	I've left a message with Tippy, and will start gradually adding to Chapter 2 so that you can see if I'm going okay, but anyone involved previously feel free to get in touch. I'm aware others have put a lot of good work into this so I'll try and keep the same conventions used in volume one and early volume two, as well as a similar style.

			It seems that Contradiction is inactive so I have picked up the translation. Unfortunately MS Word has decided to make life hard for me so expect some delays ._.

			Current status: I started Chapter 3 but school got really busy and my free time vanished, so things slammed to a halt for now.

			There are six volumes of the light novel with about four chapters each. I'm a very slow translator and I only finish a couple pages a day whether I have something else to do or not, so the first novel is going to take several months. Other translators would speed the project up a lot.

			== Test ==

			I didn't have to do a test, but I think I can get away with making other people do a little one, so...

			'''Editors:''' I will ask editors to write a 100-200 word essay starting with "I love ...," for example, twintails. But there are other possibilities. I assume you have some kind of obsession if you're willing to get involved in a light novel translation project, so pick one of those things and write about it. They will be posted or not depending on how embarrassing I think they are. I'll write one too if someone else does this. I mean, it's only fair.

			The essay is a test of your grammar and composition skills, so it should be reasonably well-written. The editing standard is:

			* The essay should have a pleasant and coherent style.
			* There should be hardly any grammar or vocabulary mistakes. (It is also a mistake if you try to use unnecessarily fancy grammar or vocabulary and screw it up.)

			'''Translators:''' I'll get translators to do a little piece of a novel as a test. Unless they have a preference, I will probably use a prologue from one of the later novels.

			Try to be more or less accurate, but the first priority is for the novel to be fun to read, so keep an eye out for opportunities where you can make the text sound a lot better by cheating. Please use as little common sense as possible. The translation standard is:

			* You should more or less understand the Japanese sentences (文の終わりには、別に注目しなくてもいい・・・・・・わけないだろう)
			* Don't leave a major piece of the meaning out unless you have a good reason.
			* Try to keep the translation from sounding awkward. (Probably the hardest part.)
