Status Updates From 王子二人 (アルスラーン戦記, #2)

Oh, he meant Arslan being alone. Still, uh, NO.

Hirmiz grew aware of the fact that fury had soaked through the entirety of his insides. If this were not proof that the gods were on his side, what else could it be?

Uh, no... Just cuz you're pissed DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT YOU JACKASS!!!

“I see, during that time we’ll be able to advance our troops to the capital without worrying about our backs.”

So I just looked up who Arslan's father is and... It's dumb. Especially since he looks so white. SO DUMB. I'll continue reading but that's so DUMB!!! I liked my idea better.

Suddenly, in the shadow of a single rock, there was a hint of movement from a man on a horse.

The “Herald of Death” chirped cheerfully. The boy who was his old friend — the crown prince Arslan — had come specially with meat. It was the prince’s thanks for saving him.

Hirmiz was thrown from his mount and crashed right to the dusty ground.

Rapture and Reunion viii

“You should know this too, Azrael. Our crown prince, His Highness Arslan, is mayhap in the vicinity. You ought to search for him, and protect him if the situation warrants.”

"Just as Narses instructed, Afarid promptly ran for the palm tree and scurried up to a thick branch without any difficulty whatsoever."
Written by someone who has NO IDEA what a palm tree looks like. They probably were thinking a tree that's ACTUALLY common to the Middle East, like the Gum Arabic tree which matches this description.

They rushed in a scramble to the cliff’s edge and peered down, but the protruding outcrop and overgrown grasses blocked their view, and the three figures could not be seen.

Also need to mark down, 9.5 pages per part.

Crap, I caught up with the translations! :(

What is it with villains in Japanese stories licking blood? It's just weird...

Guiscard is EVIL!!!

“Why, just a simple matter. Why did Ialdabaoth not rescue His faithful devotees from that demonic sorcery, I wonder?”
LOL!!!! BURN!!!!

"he also happened to possess something the other two lacked — that is, common sense."
YES HE DOES!!!

"A hand grasped around a sword, sprouting from the ground about five steps away. Before their dumbfounded gazes, both sword and hand vanished swiftly into the earth."
That's some Legend of Zelda shit right there.

Pedroas is horrible and it's so wonderful that he dies. Also EW!!! USE THE BATHROOM YOU HEATHEN!!!

Hojir was an idiot.

Ah Gieve and Farangis are adorable! Also I hope they DON'T end up together.

I didn't know Narses was raised a commoner. Now a lot about him makes sense (except his abysmal art skills).

This translation is amazing. Both the last book and this one are so well done. Like, amazingly high quality.
