by | posted in: No Hero | 31

Spoiler warning for readers of Eclipse Hunter. Ah Ye talks a bit about his past in this chapter, which reveals some events that are possibly yet to come in Odd Squad’s translation of EH. If you would like to completely avoid the spoiler, skip Ah Ye’s entire explanation starting from “The young master looked at me, hesitated, and then said helplessly” and continue reading from “Dear father! When can I become a qualified butler that never lets his own emotions affect his master?”

Gēge, don’t worry about me anymore. I’m fine.

Everyone is working hard at consoling me… I really am fine.

Let’s stop talking about that. Gēge, do you know? I found a part-time job. I’m going to be a model! The photographer is Luo Chu-gē, he’s Luo Lun’s elder brother! He…

…

I feel really worried about First Wind. He must feel so upset!

Gēge, I’ve failed… The mother and her daughter were both blown into bits and pieces.

If I had succeeded in saving them, would that mother have been the same as all those mothers I’ve rescued in the past, thanking me with a smile and saying that I was like an angel?

In that moment, if I had paid more attention, maybe I could have discovered that the detonator was not with that crook.

Today, I am not an angel. I brought death unto that mother… I am a grim reaper.

Don’t keep talking about Charles? Oh, okay! Then I’ll talk about the other people at home; they’re all very interesting too!

Dell-gē is the most interesting. He told me a lot of very interesting stories. May-gē likes to do a strange exercise that he said is called “yoga.” Bramble-shū is very serious and has a really fatherly feel!

Right! There’s also Briar. She is Bramble-shū’s daughter and is twelve this year.

She is my future fiancée!

Gēge?! What was that loud noise? Did you fall down? Are you okay?

… When I’m being a hero, ought I let Charles come and help me?

No way! Definitely no way!

I have already made a promise with him.

Charles is my butler and is not in charge of fighting!

I praise Charles too much? Hehe, are you being jealous again Gēge? Honestly, you’re already thirty two years old and you still like to cling to your Dìdi. Kyle-gē and An Te Qi-bàba will laugh at you!

You’ll kill them if they dare to laugh? Gēge! You can’t be so rash!

Honestly, don’t be so trigger happy. And stop being jealous! Charles has his faults too, of course. Such as… I like motorcycles, but he hates them the most. Every time he hears that he has to ride DSII, the corners of his mouth drop five degrees, and his brow furrows by 0.2cm!

Looks like I can’t ask Charles to go bike racing in the mountains later… But that’s alright, Melody will accompany me. She loves DSII to pieces!
