Thank you sooo much for explaining,it was really helpful!
Yes! This explanation was really helpful! I hope that you would be working with the future scanning groups and help make it a bit more clear in the future!
Ahh thank you! This chapter makes much more sense now.
You’re a god
thank you!!!!!
Tysm! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Thank you so much! I had no clue about what was happening in this chapter...(￣∇￣")
Thank you.
Thank you for the summary! And I honestly hope that the translators will reach out to you, because even though I'm thankful for their work, but the translation really is a bit difficult to understand! :,(
Thanks a lot! I understand it much better now. I also love this manga. I admire what you did for us. Thank you again!
As someone who's read the novel, I could honestly only understand this chapter because of my intimate knowledge of this part of the story (which I'll explain below if anyone like me was trying to read the newest chapter 38 and couldn't understand what was happening). And, no offense to the translator because I do realize that it takes a lot of work to scanalate things, but this chapter did come off as if it was Google translated ;w; I hard a hard time following what was going on and the constant translator's note partnered with the fact that the translations felt nonsensical and all over the place made it hard to feel immersed in the manga compared to prior chapters
That said, if the translator ever reads this,, I would love to work for free on fixing translations to make it more readable for this manga if you're up for it! I love this manga a lot so I'm willing to fix grammar and writing to make it make more readable for other readers to enjoy,,,
As for the summary of chapter 38's events: Aria hired her maid's brother to stockpile sugar. She wants him to buy as much of it as possible at this moment so she can have a secret supply of sugar that she will be selling later. She knows that some Pinot dude (you know the silver-haired dude who gave gifts to Mielle? Yeah, him) who is an insider for the aristocracy will be cutting off the trade routes so the nobles will no longer be able to easily access their precious sugar products. This makes cakes and stuff really rare so the nobles will go bankrupt over getting as much sugar as possible as they are addicted to it. The nobles are more impacted by the sugar cut than the aristocrats are, thus Aria suspects this whole sugar drama is a power struggle between the Crown Prince's group and the nobility. She plans to use the sugar to make profit which will come into play later. However, she notes she doesn't want to be involved in the power struggle as it might be dangerous for her.
Other events that happen this chapter include: Aria being surprised that the Crown Prince gave control of the casino over to a noble, knowing that he was incompetent in the past and shredded his image into ruins by keeping the casino in his control. She indirectly implies that the Crown Prince wouldn't do something that she merely suggested he do in the last meeting and Asher is curious why she believes he wouldn't. He suggests that the Crown Prince took advantage of the situation and realized what he had to do to tip the power struggle in his favor. Aria thinks this as part of the butterfly effect (aka, her actions somehow domino'd over until it reached the Crown Prince who then somehow changed through mysterious means to do her suggestion i.e. he wizened up).
Sarah also invites Aria over to meet her husband, the Marquis, and Aria accepts, knowing she can use a connection to the Marquis to her advantage.
Then there's also the ending but it's clear what's happening there: Mielle's gonna be visiting the "princess" Iris again
