Thanks for your hard work zgmfx09a, and the rest of the staff at CE.
Reading the first four chapters of volume 2 hurts, not because of the translation, but because of how dense Nao is; being called out for it by other characters only pours salt on the wound.
God, that line stabbed my chest with a million needles.
I'm enjoying both the LN and manga. Four main volumes might be short, but Id rather have it this way than have it dragged out for the sake of plot and a forlorn conclusion.
