Hidder: Hey, look at that, I’m actually not giving up. Here’s another short story I found yet again on Syosetu. This time I didn’t help Shiro at all, I translated this during my lunch break, and it was very poorly translated, so he had to do all the job on the editing part, so he basically did the “I’m gonna change what the author-chan wrote to make it sound better” thing.
Anyway, next item cheat part is probably going to be released this weekend.
Shiro the Hero: It took me more than 10 minutes to finally figure out that the “plant hopper” (that’s how Hidder named our insect friend here originally) *pew pew pew, Hidder here, the insect was not named that, but I’m too lazy to find the actual english name for it* was actually a grasshopper. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it for so long… But hey, who expects to just randomly receive a barely readable, “translated” short story about a grasshopper? I haven’t even seen one of these adorable little things in many years. Maybe I should venture into the vast, outside world beyond my room again…?
Nah, of course not! What am I thinking?
And now that I’m thinking about it a little bit more, wasn’t one of the biblical plagues basically a grasshopper infestation? (Yes, locusts are grasshoppers.) HAH, NO NEED TO GO OUTSIDE FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD! Hikikomori-dom wins yet again! Booya! xD
