Jeez, I accidentally clicked on quote and ended up seeing spoilers. Now that I'm reading the novels, I won't be reading spoilers anymore. My own bad though.
Anyway, I have another line of thought with regards to the possible end, but I shall keep my speculations to myself till I catch up.
Btw, without spoilers, can you tell me whether the side series is important to the main story?
And sorry, as an eroge player, I have to rebut one point, H-scene in romance eroge can't be seen as porn and should not be described as such.
I didn't know about the true intentions of Asuka since I haven't read that far yet but with regards to how the rumor started, it's actually explained by Ken, or at least what he thought, in an earlier volume.
And with regards to the translation, don't worry about it. It's very tough work after all, and I was just asking out of curiosity. But then again, you want to translate the whole v7?

well, there're 3 possibilities, I think
