How great for them, was my impression while treating it as soone else’s problem as I t eyes with Sword.
“Okay, looks like everythin’ got resolved, then we’re…”
When Sword bid a farewell while keeping his words ambiguous, Mr. Amato detained him, exclaiming in a hurry, “A-Ah! Not yet! There’s still more! Yeah!” and then he pointed at my Ryoku, “…That’s a Ta-”
“He’s Ryoku!” I interrupted him to prevent him from using that na. “He’s a spider type multi leg combat golem equipped with an artificial intelligence!”
Ta-sothing is out! It mustn’t be used! But even so, Mr. Amato grasped it anyway.
“Eh, so it’s just as I thought after all, huh? Did you possibly build him while imitating those?”
“Of course! I was a huge fan of the combat vehicles employed by Public Security Section 9! It went even as far as worrying whether I should cancel my ti deposit to buy the 1/8th-scale figurine!”
I carelessly went along with him, running my mouth as I pleased. And yet, you shan’t use the Ta-word! The Ryokus are spider-shaped golems! They’re spider types, that’s why!! They have two arms, six legs, and three joints! Also, they got four eyes, lined up side-by-side. Their eyes are black, round, and cute!
“Whoa, for real? And then you built them, in this world!? What cheat is that!? Please teach how to do it as well! I beg you!”
But, it looks like that was his main issue.
“That earlier too. A jet board? No, since it can’t fly, I thought it might be a reef board, but dashing across the sea on a board…isn’t that almost like out of ani? Maybe you also know how to show a status screen?”
“Don’t be unreasonable. If a status screen existed, this world definitely wouldn’t be real, don’t you think? We’d be beings who would only perceive to be 『alive』 while actually being data. That’d be the very definition of a digital world. Then again, I could make 『sothing akin』 to a status screen, but the data shown wouldn’t be correct. It’d display fake values.”
“…Well, now that you ntion it, it does make sense…”
“By asuring kinetic vision and physical strength, calculating the magic elents inside a body, and recording chanted spells, I could draw the results up as a status screen. But, all of those values would be quite apart from the real values owned by the people of this world. Sword’s and my values shouldn’t be anything incredible, if you express them as numbers. But Sword, you see, has his admired detection ability. He’s a superman who can detect enemies while unable to see and hear anything, you know? On top of that, he can perform a genuine seal! Apparently he’s done it in the past!”
“Eh!? Seriously!? I thought he’s a lar who uses so chuuni-like show-off nickna, but it sounds like he’s totally incredible.” 1
Sword seed to get deeply stabbed by Mr. Amato’s words. By now he was hunching.
“……It ain’t like I chose that nickna, ‘kay……?”
He was getting emotionally hurt while not picking up any malice. Circling a finger, he opened a hole in a nearby wall.
Stop! Learn how to moderate your own strength! Don’t damage the building! Besides, you obtained the respect of everyone, didn’t you? Mr. Amato and Mr. Rob are staring at you with sparkling eyes, don’t you see?
Translation Notes:
Last ti I bypassed using chuunibyou, but this ti the sentence is so full of JP net slang that I’d need to completely rephrase the thing, thus killing its tone I think. If any of you got a better idea how to localize it without using a JP term while keeping a casual slangy way to phrase it, I’m open for suggestions.
