TRANSLATION NOTES

The title in my opinion has a connection with the previous chapter if you check out the last translation note I made there.

Page 4

The third panel on the left was translated based on the furigana, while the other reading says: 限界距離は延び耐久性は上がり which means "The distance limit has been extended, and durability has increased. So the other translation would be "The distance limit has been extended, and durability has increased. Even though the first, "Sloth" is exceptionally strong, it doesn’t make sense that I, the eighth, would be overpowered."

"Latest model" is the furigana reading for "I, the eight (one)"

I like how Tanaka sensei used a word that reflects imagery associated Tsubaki. He calls Belkia 助太刀 which means 'help' 'assistance', particularly in the context of a fight and the last two kanji mean "tachi", a Japanese sword, which has a strongly curved blade and is longer than a katana. It was used on the battlefield before it.

So yeah, it's interesting when characters use words/expressions that reflect aspects of their personality.

There is a change in how Tsubaki talks about Saint-Germain The words 'that person' is the furigana reading for sensei, which might indicate that he considers him differently.

There is also a different reading in the second to last speech bubble.先生にとっての『世界』がきみだけだったから.

The word in parenthesis means "world' and the furigana reads 他人 (tanin) which means 'others' or 'strangers'.

Based on the above sentence, it can be translated as "To that person, the world meant only you."
