Is that the passage from the original novel?
I've checked around the internet and there is indeed different takes on the Hourin matter. It seems the only way to know for sure is for someone to translate the original part of the text.....I'll just work on my Japanese until then....

My Japanese is almost non-existent. I faint at the sight of Kanji. Anyway, I can make out "king" and "2 generations." What do you get if you combine 二人(two people) with 目?......it'll be great if someone can translate Elysium's passage. This will determine if Gekkei was a fool or a hypocrite who ...

So the fact about the two kings was just a person's/people's perception of the text? Has there even been mention of the other king anywhere else in the novel or anime? If Hourin did choose two bad kings then more of the public's anger would have been directed at the Kirin yet I haven't seen anything ...

When I called him a hypocrite, I was referring to his lack of desire to even take a chance with a new king and possibly have Hou on the process of recovery.

We are good to go.......although, Elysium's idea is a lot easier so you might like to try that instead. Tell us if you still need the translations.

Episodes 40 to 45? That's.....a lot of typing....

I would like to help but I'm not sure myself on whether or not this topic infringes on the no-distribution-details rule. Could the moderators confirm this?

Yeah, not that it's a problem though. Heh.

He was the 2nd king that Hourin chose? Wow, I guess I missed that bit of information. Hmm, I still think of Gekkei as an idiot though; purely on the fact that some rulers change once in power and a Kirin is not responsible for that. Besides, third time's the charm, right?

Hi, I'm Cuong237 and I'm an alcoholic........whoops, wrong place.
I'm new here and I would like to extend my greetings to everybody..........GREETINGS!

Anime question.
Why did the Lord of Kei province in Hou (Genkei I think his name was) kill the Kirin during the uprising? I mean, he talks about doing it for the people and wanting the populace to recover quickly yet he kills the Kirin, an entity which represents the will of the people and, was in ...
