Madan no Ou to Vanadis [Light Novel]

[setsuna86]

Excuse me, but a small question, how can you translate this:

手の枷から延びた鎖がじゃらりと鳴る。

What troubled me here is that "じゃらり", which meant nothing, and it's simply a sound of chain. So I don't know if I can translate it:

The chain which spread from the shackles of her hands made a sound (ignoring "じゃらり")

or

The chain which spread from the shackles of her hands made a *jarari* sound (including "じゃらり")?

[borisdrakoni]

I guess the English onomatopoeia equivalent would be clattering or clanking, rattling? My Japanese knowledge is essentially zero, but based on the context I assume it'd be something like that.

[Awrya]

I'd go with "The chain which spread from the shackles of her hands made a rattling sound", but we all know what kind of sounds a chain makes so there shouldn't be any confusion what's going on even if you keep it as jarari.

Pretty sure じゃらり is just a variation of じゃらじゃら. So something like: The chain extending from the shackles around her hands jingled and jangled. Or clinked and clanked. There's a lot you can do with this.

Yes, she's saved.

[Ken Sanders]

And so, the war between the Loli, Olga, and the Onee-san, Sophie, for the Throne(Tigre) will commence.

It's "Harem Mayhem", you know. I'll be looking forward to ch2 after it is posted in BT.

Take your time, good Sir Setsuna.

[kampfer91]

And now Tigrex must tip the (im)balance .
Oh he needs to take both .

[setsuna86]

Could someone help me with this, please?

Spoiler:

兵の誰かが声にならない叫び声をあげた。

Excuse me, but I don't know how to translate it so that it makes sense. What I obtain was sometimes like that:

"Someone among the soldiers raised a soundless scream."

Does it even make a sense? (a soundless cry) So, I need your help, please.

[sasuke706]

No, you're right. You can totally scream silently, or let out a voiceless scream.

It means he basically lacked the ability to scream, but would have very much liked to. It makes me want to go read more Lovecraft again.

The more setsuna translates the more I want to read XD I'm glad he's our translator for this and gakusen Toshi asterisk

[chad001]

Setsuna's the translator for A LOT of projects. This community owes him a lot.

We already know that without you telling us.

What do you guys think of when you ... For example.. Read till a certain point in time and the author decides to change the mc to someone else by killing off Tigre ? Just a hypothesis

[Trung-t-rung]

As long as the new hero has love interests that doesn't involve Tigre's harem, I can deal with that. His death could be a major WTF moment that change other heroines's personalities, possibly Olga, Ellen, Lim and that maid whose name-I-don't-remember the most.

Salvatore and Martin might be able to get away with that nonsense in their works, but I don't see it working at all for Madan. Too much of the focus of the story is tied into Tigre's growth and development. It's one thing for him to be temporarily separated from the other main cast, but permanently killing him off just to start over from scratch again without resolving all of the key plot points is in my opinion the equivalent of killing off the series itself.

Teita.... Well I guess not only those girls but the other Vanadis as well especially Sophie.

[sapper]

Yea for this LN it's impossible to not have Tigre

Haahha! i was just kidding. Its a hypothesis anyways. Well i mean if it reaches a certain point in time whereby it is the appropriate moment. I mean, the chances that the author might kill of sasha right now is quite high. I don't see her being given a chance to live through this unless some god's blessing or some sort comes into play
