translation notes & questions

2 「セティお兄ちゃん」 - throughout, fee calls ced "seti-oniichan" ("older brother ced"), but in the tradition of countless annoyed translators before me, this is so awful to hear in english that i'm just removing it. basically, this word is both an honorific and a familiar term, so we can tell she loves him and looks up to him.

6 「...の」 - i translated this emphatic particle as "obviously", which is a bit dramatic but still in keeping with the usual uses of the particle (i.e., as explanatory).

8 「...だもの」 - fee uses this particle to protest how ced hasn't come home in so long, so i used a funny idiom to show that she's (at least a little) fed up.

10 「父上」 - ced and fee use different words to refer to their parents. for lewyn, ced uses chichiue, which is an old-fashioned honorific and can be used either as a regular noun or as a form of address. it's respectful, but it's also a bit masculine. fee uses otо̄sama, which is old-fashioned and very respectful (almost verging on "my lord father" in this context). using it makes her sound more filial and ladylike, despite her vocally hating lewyn way more than ced does. this same contrast applies to how they talk about erinys. basically, this is an instance of gendered speech.

10 「...うちに」 - this just means "during" or "while", but i improvised a "before i knew it" to emphasize that going to manster wasn't part of the plan.

13 「帰れなくなってしまった」 - ced literally says "i couldn't just go home", but i decided to translate the implication of that, i.e., "i couldn't go home without helping".

16 「そんなお兄ちゃんが大好きだから」 - this definitely means "that's what i love about you", but for the sake of fee's dignity i changed it to the royal "we". justice for anime girls made to say weird things about their brothers!

25 「わたし」 - fee here emphasizes how she will never forgive their father, which does technically leave room for ced to disagree with her (though she probably doesn't expect him to, and of course he doesn't).

phew, kind of an emotional whirlwind from fee. i would be that angry too, no wonder she's getting so many crits (lol). as always, feel free to message me with thoughts or questions! sources below the cut~

Four Studies of a Male Head

Netherlands (c. 1617-19)

Oil on canvas transferred from wood, 51 x 66 cm.

Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels.

These are by far the best photographs I have seen on this work, and we all owe a debt to the photographer. Four Studies is one of Ruben’s most popular pieces, despite the fact that it’s not one of his monumental works (some of which I have had the delight of seeing in person, and they are distinctively massive).
