I'm completely sympathetic with Byakuren now. I always spent at least 3 hours just to make a good name for my character in game (any game that let you name your char)
While I would say that a reward is deserved it’s hard to say what reward should be given. I would say that the internet is a good reward but is it really something that is in my power to give? It’s perplexing. And he wanted a medal, but what type? There are a lot of medals, but I don’t know what to give for a medal related to translation. It has to be related to –ion so a medallion of translation would work, perhaps one shaped like an ion. But what type of shape does an ion have? Is it something that I should give something since free radicals are related to ions and we don’t support radicalization?
...Aaah!You're right! Okay! Let's do our best!Hmm, then, Murasa is... "Mitsurin"? "Mitsurin" means "jungle" in Japanese.Namusan!It must be vexing, trying to create an equal world.I just hate not being able to support her at times like these!Whaat? It'll be all right if we support her by doing all that we can, won't it?...No, no, I don't get it. It's not a pun or a talking point. There's nothing clever you can say about it. I'd better get more serious.Ahh...Ane-san is in so much agony....What do I do about Unzan?...Nazrin and Ichirin... We have two "rin"s living here, after all. I should definitely give everyone the same sort of nickname, as a plan to bring out a sense of identity and increase our unity.First off, I can be "Hijirin". Nue is "Nuerin", of course.The problem is the other two... "Toramaru Shou" and "Murasa Minamitsu"... "Toramaru Shou" and "Murasa Minamitsu"... Ah, what should I do, what should I do? Well, I'll just try attaching it like normal to start.For starters, if I do it the normal way, Shou will just be "Shourin", huh. ...But "Shourin" is a little, hmm... she's not a temple, after a... hm, temple?
"Shourin" is the Japanese pronunciation of Shaolin, the famous Chinese temple....No, no, no way. Well, then, maybe "Torarin" is more... ah, that's cute.Yeah, that's cute. It's decided. "Tooorariiin-chaaan".Mmm, but "Minarin" sounds like it's talking about someone else. In that case, is "Murarin" the safest choice, after all? Mine is based on my family name to make Hijirin, too, so we're equal there... ah, Nue...."Hourin" would be perfect, in a sense, but it's a different kanji. ..."Juurin"? No, no, no, no.
"Hourin" means "wheel of dharma," and "juurin" means to trample on, in Japanese.Ah, but Ichirin and Nazrin's use their first names, so maybe we all should all match up that way... ...What should I do? "Byakurin"... sounds like it's talking about someone else. "Renrin"? No way....Ah, but... if we do that, Shou and Murasa will just end up more complex, so I'll just go back to the drawing board......Is it okay to put a captain in the jungle? Somosan! Seppa!
"Somosan" and "seppa" are words used when asking and answering a question/koan in Zen Buddhism.If there are too many crewmen, they'll steer into a forest when they try to hide the ship! Because it's made of wood! What the hell?!
"If there are too many crewmen, they'll steer the ship up a mountain" is the Japanese version of "too many cooks spoil the broth".Somehow, their sense of unity got stronger.
