Meerkat Localizing Literature
Before I knew it, last night we had spent over two hours discussing magic and educational systems from various countries. Topics about territorial issues and import/export also came up frequently, but those seemed to greatly influence magical development as well, so I made sure to listen carefully.
“…It’s such beautiful weather.”
Squinting at the morning sun, I think about today, the second day of the cultural festival.… Read more
“Currently, our Court-Highland has adopted Fidic Academy’s methods, implementing advancement based on ability and graduation based on final presentation results, but somehow the overall skill of our mages hasn’t improved. How are your countries handling this?”
“In terms of mage ability, we have some outstanding individuals. However, that’s largely due to talent. Carvan Kingdom has many unique magics, but aren’t those also research results by a very small number of talented individuals?”
“That’s true. Certainly, new magic creators appear every year, but it’s by the same ten or so people.… Read more
In the evening, I was called to attend a reception with representatives from various countries at Glen’s request. Since I had interrupted Grants earlier in the day when he was trying to say something, I couldn’t easily refuse.
When I went to the central plaza to watch the senior faculty presentation, Glen and the others were already gathered there. Had they really been giving cultural festival tours all day long?
“Oh, Aoi-kun!”… Read more
“Felter is scheduled to present on the second day afternoon at the eastern plaza. I intend to participate there as an experimental partner. I would also like to fight with Aoi-dono there. What do you think?”
When Ramsey said this with his chest puffed out, Diaggio turned around with a shocked expression.
“Ramsey Marquis. You don’t actually intend to fight Aoi-dono, do you?”
When Diaggio asked, Ramsey skillfully raised one eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders.… Read more
Shops lined the perimeter of the plaza, already bustling with many people. Some faculty members and senior faculty would give their morning and afternoon final presentations at the central plaza, while other general faculty and students would present at the four directional plazas and the central plaza during available time slots.
Incidentally, while Glen would normally give the presentation on the final day’s finale, for some reason it had been assigned to me this time.… Read more
“That is not common sense. It’s simply ignorance.”
The moment I clearly uttered words of denial, the portly man ran toward me with a desperate expression. He quickly placed his hand on my shoulder and brought his face close.
“Y-y-young lady…! I’m telling you this for your own good, so please say that what you said was wrong! I’ll apologize with you… no, if you can’t accept that, just bow your head! I’ll apologize!”
The man said this with a pale face, then put his hand on my back and turned toward the blonde man.… Read more
Morning came, and I was summoned to Glen’s office.
Since all lectures are suspended during the cultural festival, all faculty members except those giving presentations should have the day off.
Feeling somewhat irritated by this thought, I entered Glen’s room, only to be met with a troubled look.
“Don’t be so angry with me.”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
When I replied, Glen chuckled and nodded with a wry smile.… Read more
“This is terrible!!”
The moment I showed my face at the academy building, Glen’s scream echoed throughout. Wondering what was happening, I looked down the hallway to see a flustered Glen and faculty members lined up facing the wall. The strange thing was the faculty’s condition.
The faculty members were facing empty walls without moving, and some were even on all fours on the ground, heads hanging down. The scene looked like a battlefield of corpses, making me tilt my head in confusion.… Read more
At Gaia’s words, I turned toward Karila. Karila was shaking her head left and right so vigorously it seemed her neck bones might come loose.
“No, no, no! I didn’t say that! This Gaia guy is incredibly knowledgeable about information from the town’s underside! It was probably people from other organizations!”
Looking at Karila’s desperate explanation, I sighed and looked at Gaia.
“So Gaia-san works as an information broker, something like that.”
“That’s right.… Read more
While enjoying a pleasant stroll through the bustling festival atmosphere in the town center, I spotted a familiar face at a somewhat quieter café located on the outskirts of town.
The brick-built café had terrace seating, and sitting in the shaded area under a sunshade-like roof was a blue-haired young man. He held a cup in one hand, bringing it to his lips with a melancholy expression. Some of the café’s customers had their eyes drawn to him, though he seemed unaware of their attention.… Read more
