Book 4: Chapter 46: The Easily Read Chen Heng

Efreet: How do I put it…after watching that episode, I started doubting the international chess that I previously played. To think you can even create a third red faction, besides white and black, when you play international chess.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Is inciting internal conflict on the enemy’s side still international chess? There’s even the issue of the king getting assassinated at the end…. My ass, it is international chess!

Blank Never Loses: That’s why cuteness is righteousness! Because my younger sister is very cute, we are righteous. The righteous will triumph over evil!

He Who Knows Fate: So, you are a siscon too.

Magus of Flowers: You use those words very well.

Queen of Ice and Snow: He Who Knows Fate, so you finally admit to being a siscon.

He Who Knows Fate: When have I not admitted it? I said it before, Sirin is so cute. So what if I’m a con?

Blank Never Loses: Ah! One of us! But Shiro is cuter.

He Who Knows Fate: What nonsense! Sirin is clearly cuter!

Blank Never Loses: My Shiro is an adopted younger sister, the kind that I can marry.

He Who Knows Fate: So is my Sirin.

Blank Never Loses: My Shiro likes me a lot.

He Who Knows Fate: My Sirin too.

Blank Never Loses: My younger sister and I have slept in the same bed before.

He Who Knows Fate: Me too.

Blank Never Loses: …

He Who Knows Fate: …

Queen of Ice and Snow: You two…are perverts.

Efreet: Exactly! Exactly!

He Who Knows Fate: I don’t mind Skadi saying that of me, but how could Kotori say that of us? Are you qualified to say that? Aren’t you a brocon yourself? Isn’t your elder brother adopted too? We are from the same camp!

Efreet: No. We are different. I only have an elder sister, not an elder brother. The anime got it wrong.

Solomon: Truth be told, it is normal for the storyline not to be completely the same. That means your world is a Yuri genre?

[TL Note: Yuri is a genre focused on girls’ love. It is not necessarily romantic or sexual but can also refer to intimate relationships built on emotional and spiritual support. Here is the Wikipedia entry on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_(genre).]

Umaru-chan: An expert! To think your elder sister can conquer so many Spirits alone despite also being female.

Lord of the White Night: Can I ask how the progress is now?

Efreet: We are practically at the start. Right now, we only have Tohka at home.

[TL Note: Yatogami Tohka is the first Spirit conquered in Date A Live. As before, I follow the naming order of family name-given name because that is the correct order according to Japanese and Chinese conventions. However, the English fandom and subbed versions of the anime use the Western convention of given name-family name. Here is more information on Yatogami Tohka: /wiki/Tohka_Yatogami.]

He Who Knows Fate: I initially thought you were from the same camp. Unexpectedly, you betrayed us.

Efreet: Hah! Men!

He Who Knows Fate: Wait up! I’m not listening! Goodbye! I’ve already discussed it with Exusiai and Texas. I will go to Lungmen after treating Nightingale tomorrow.

Kal’tsit: In that much of a rush?

He Who Knows Fate: Can I not rush? I recall that in Arknights’s storyline, Misha said she had been in Lungmen for about a week when she first met Amiya. That is to say, the Reunion Movement will go to Lungmen to cause trouble a week later. Even if the storyline changes a little, it will not be delayed by much. After that, the Reunion Movement will launch a large-scale attack on Lungmen.

Umaru-Chan: Now that you put it that way, I suddenly feel Doctor is too cruel. Soon, the Reunion Movement’s operators will die or get injured.

He Who Knows Fate: If I go to Lungmen a few days later, I won’t be there to sightsee but purely for disaster relief. Furthermore, Rhodes Island is not a fun place; it is very boring. Going by the timeline…let me think…when I go home, FrostNova should be about dead.

Umaru-chan: …He Who Knows Fate, show pity on FrostNova, please?

He Who Knows Fate: Pity? How do I show pity? FrostNova’s Oripathy has already reached a certain level of severity. She will die for sure. I can’t just fork out 1,000 points to save someone I don’t know, right?

Efreet: You jerk! You keep calling her your waifu. However, you don’t help when your waifu needs you.

He Who Knows Fate: Be reasonable, alright? A game is a game; reality is reality. Those who mix up games and reality are not mentally sound.

Kal’tsit: Ahem! Ahem!

He Who Knows Fate: …Stop it. I’m not referring to you.

He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, even if I want to save her, she might not want to live. You killed all her subordinates yet want her to join your Rhodes Island? That is quite difficult.

Umaru-chan: But before FrostNova fought Rhodes Island, didn’t she say she wanted to join Rhodes Island?

He Who Knows Fate: You will have to ask Kal’tsit about this. After all, she is the regent of Rhodes Island, the person who rules everything in Rhodes Island. Right now, the current ruler—Amiya—is not mature yet. The queen—Doctor—has amnesia. Kal’tsit has the greatest authority in Rhodes Island, without a doubt.

Kal’tsit: Why do I feel you are making me out to be a demon?

He Who Knows Fate: Just your misperception. A misperception. I say, are you interested in saving FrostNova? She would be a strong combat force. You just need to pay the price of the medicine.

Kal’tsit: I feel that you are laying a trap for me. You keep saying you won’t save FrostNova, but you keep advising me to recruit FrostNova to Rhodes Island.

He Who Knows Fate: Be reasonable. I’m not a saint. I will not use points for no reason for people unrelated to me. However, you are different. You are the authority of Rhodes Island. If FrostNova joins Rhodes Island, it benefits you.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Alright, Kal’tsit, you can’t outtalk He Who Knows Fate. It is already a miracle that you did not tear down the relationship between Rhodes Island and Lungmen. You are not suitable to be a diplomat.

Kal’tsit: …

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: As for Chen Heng…if you read the novel concerning him, you will know he is a troublesome person. He is certainly a good person, but he will never help others for no reason. He needs sufficient reasons to help someone before taking action.

He Who Knows Fate: …

Queen of Ice and Snow: Right now, He Who Knows Fate’s situation is he wants to save FrostNova but cannot find a reason to. However, there’s you, so he is advising you to save FrostNova.

Magus of Flowers: In this situation, you can just say you want to borrow 1,000 points to buy the medicine and ask him to carry out the rescue. He won’t reject you.

Kal’tsit: He Who Knows Fate, lend me 1,000 points. I want to rescue FrostNova.

He Who Knows Fate: Do I look like a fool? Sorry, I’m not lending. Your lie is beyond clumsy. You are not even bothering to cover it up before trying to play me. Your acting is abysmal—no, there isn’t even a bit of acting skill there.

Solomon: Next time, then. Next time, we shouldn’t discuss it in the group but in a private channel. This will embarrass Chen Heng.

He Who Knows Fate: Screw you! I feel that everyone here is just treating me as a tool.

Efreet: Don’t say that. This is just a white lie, at worst.

He Who Knows Fate: This can’t even be considered a white lie. It is clearly just a clumsy lie.
