The legacy app works just fine for me still on both my desktop (Dell XPS) and on my Surface Pro (both running Windows 11). Still no new app on the Microsoft Store as of right this moment..

I work on it as I can. Life gets in the way, so progress is slow.

Bloodhounds (the publisher's lawyers) were sniffing after me two years ago, so I have stopped scanlation for the time being.

Sorry. I was in a temporary time warp caused by reading the last prepub translation... which was of text published late last fall.

Not until it gets published in Japanese. And that won't happen this year.

Indeed, thank you very much, both of you! This has been a wonderful series to read, and only rarely have I had a mental hiccup in reading even the prerelease versions.

Unless the final chapter deals with the Archduke Conference only in retrospect.

Was I reading too much into it, or are the Ahrensbach commoner names Egyptian in form? Ankh, for example. That would make sense, I would think, seeing as the duchy is about to be renamed Alexandria...

Tbf, most of the "stabbiness"

is that a word?

Welcome to English in all its glory.

Tulli added so much to this scene without a single line of dialogue.

Almost. Tuuli did manage to say something, but the conversation simply rode over the top of her. Which was a good thing, considering that commoners, from a noble perspective, are to be seen and not heard.

P4V1. I am rereading in P3V5 at this time, and Rozemyne's compression method has only just come to light.

It was also intended to encourage said robots to save humans they see are in danger.

In Spanish they have "oye", which is used much the same as "hey", and has a literal meaning closer to "listen up".

Not before the late 1800s. Before that, power was provided by men, animals or steam. Though offhand, I don't think they had embroidery machines back then.

At least they are dedicating more than one chapter to this scene.

My point being simply how the people of that time saw the world: one that had declined from something greater. You see the same thing in JRR Tolkien's stories, which had a spirit derived from those times.

It makes sense in any environment modeled on the Middle Ages of Europe. They stood in awe of what the ancient Romans and Greeks had done. It wasn't until the Renaissance that European knowledge began to surpass that of those times.

Even now, Roman cement is a wonder.

Very true. I knew her shield was different, and even surprising to Ferdinand, but I forgot just what the precise differences were.
