Chapter 315: You would rather have me go through this hell on earth?

Having lived for a long time and also having traveled far and wide back in the day, it was no surprise that Philia-san was a veritable fountain of knowledge.

This distinctive armor and helmet. Can she be a samurai from the east?

Samurai?

Mm. Beyond the monster-infested mountains, there is a nation whose warriors are called Samurais.

Ehh.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

According to Philia-san, the separation brought by the mountain range and the vast desert had made it develop a different culture from ours. Apparently, this odd-looking armor design was one of those.

The single-edged swords they wield are called katana. They have many excellent blacksmiths, so its more likely than not that their blades are awfully sharp.

Single-edged swords are so rare! I wanna see one!

Selen said so, her eyes sparkling with great interest.

Now that I think about it, it does feel like something is missing from her.

The womans katana seemed to have been left somewhere.

Around that time

Mmh

Groaning came from the unknown woman. It seemed like she had awakened.

W-where? !?

Whaare you stating you would rather have me go through this hell on earth?

What are you even saying? Look, I dont really get it, but you just failed to cross the mountain range by yourself, right? I dont see the need to take your own life for something like that.

Selen irritably admonished the astounded Samurai girl.

Upon hearing so, the grim expression on the girls face vanished and she spoke hesitantly.

Ugghbut what face can I show to everyone who tried to stop me back then? Especially after I boasted worry not for I will surely succeed. And in the event I fail and die, that only proves the extent of what I can do.

It ended up being a more trivial reason than I expected.

Ahm, Philia-san, are all the samurais of the east like her?

Hmm. Their culture do resent dishonoreven then though, I dont think most of them resent it to this degree.

Apparently, this samurai girl was an extreme case.

At any rate, weve gone to the trouble of saving you, so dont let it go to waste by taking your life as you please, alright? Ah, I still havent introduced myself. Im Luke, this villages chief.

Oh!? Despite you saving me, I still havent uttered a word of gratitude! Whats more, I didnt even introduce myself! What a colossal blunder! Ive brought great dishonor to all samurais! This is undoubtedly the worst mistake of my life! Now that it has come to this, I can only hope to apologize by committing seppuku!

The samurai girl took out a new dagger from her breast pocket.

Dont cut yourself! Rather, how many knives are you hiding!?

TL note: Shes a samurai, so as perhaps to be expected, she speaks with degozaru. Think of it like ye olde english. Ill refrain from making her talk all weird like ending her sentences with that I am or something. Ill make her choice of words quite formal, but thats it.

Also, it might be better to leave certain words, like katana and seppuku, untranslated. I think these are popular enough words that most of the general public might already know. Katana is a no-brainer since its part of the narrative that its just their version of sword. For seppuku though, I just thought the phrase disemboweling oneself sounds as foreign as the word.
