Chapter 42 Translation Mechanism

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Translation Mechanism

"You... what exactly are you talking about?" Dick squinted slightly, somewhat speechless as he asked Xiao Yi.

"Japanese, isn’t it? Was I not speaking it correctly?"

"No, it’s not about whether it’s correct or not, that was not Japanese at all!" Yuzuki Hibiki shook his head vigorously.

"Really?" Xiao Yi pondered slightly. "Could I be mistaken, and that phrase is not Japanese? Don’t worry, I know other Japanese phrases!"

"There’s more?!" On hearing this, Yuzuki Hibiki hurriedly stepped back two paces.

"Stop, just stop." Dick also hurriedly stopped Xiao Yi, his voice turning somewhat hoarse.

With a sigh, Dick continued, "Anyway, just use your own country’s language. There is a translation mechanism in the world of ’Analog Horror’, so even if you don’t speak our language, we can understand what you’re saying."

"Translation mechanism?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.

At this time, Sheraya, who was standing behind Xiao Yi, explained:

"Yes, ’Analog Horror’ is played by people from all over the world, but everyone speaks different languages, and the instances are set in various countries, so there’s a translation mechanism to resolve the language barrier."

Dick added, "The translation mechanism translates those languages and scripts that we can’t understand into the language of the country we belong to, allowing us to understand."

"No, that’s not quite right." Sheraya corrected, "More accurately, the translation mechanism conveys the meanings found in the written and spoken language, and then your brain translates it into a language you can understand. The words and the language themselves don’t change; it’s just that we can understand them."

Dick nodded in agreement and said, "In any case, whatever you were saying just now probably even stumped the translation mechanism, so what I heard was just an especially abstract statement."

"Exactly, that’s right!" Yuzuki Hibiki also voiced his relief, "Your words, to me, were like whispers from an ancient god, so please, don’t say them anymore!"

"Is... that so?"

Looking at Xiao Yi’s bewildered and perplexed expression, both Dick and Yuzuki Hibiki couldn’t help worrying about whether he truly understood.

Thankfully, Xiao Yi eventually nodded and said, "I get it, so I just shouldn’t speak foreign languages, right?"

This finally eased Dick and Yuzuki Hibiki’s worries, as they quickly nodded in agreement.

"Exactly, that’s right!"

Anyway, the four of them once again started walking, searching for clues amidst these mountains.

Meanwhile, thanks to Sheraya’s explanation, many in the live stream audience also began to understand a few things.

People from Dragon Country: "I wondered how I was understanding the comments from Lighthouse Country and Japan; I thought I had suddenly become fluent in foreign languages, so that’s what it was."

People from Dragon Country: "In short, Brother Xiao Yi managed to confuse the translation mechanism, but this mechanism is truly amazing, mom won’t have to worry about me learning foreign languages anymore."

People from Dragon Country: "Dream on, the live stream has the translation mechanism because it’s related to ’Analog Horror’, once you leave the stream, it’s gone."

People from Dragon Country: "By the way, it’s fine if people from Lighthouse Country and Japan don’t talk, but why aren’t the people from Aolan Country speaking? I wanted to test the accuracy of the translation mechanism some more."

Japanese people, learning from Lighthouse Country, also fell silent, and the Aolan Nationals, it seemed as if they were nonexistent from the start, having not said a word so far.

Just then, some incident occurred on Xiao Yi’s side.

"...Hm? Who are you?"

In the deserted mountains, the four of them finally ran into another living soul besides themselves.

It was a girl, and when they saw her, she was on a peak nearby, feeling the rhythm of the wind.

Without saying more, they naturally walked towards her.

The girl was also startled to see Xiao Yi and the others, asking:

"Why are you four here?"

"This..."

Everyone suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

They hadn’t yet received the rule document and were unclear even about the background of this instance; they couldn’t just say they were there to clear ’Analog Horror.’ To lie rashly might add to their own troubles.

As they hesitated, Xiao Yi had already started to answer:

"We got lost and ended up here."

"Lost?" The girl seemed incredulous, "This is in the middle of the mountains, completely desolate. There’s only one road around the mountain and it’s particularly far from here. How could you get lost and come to this place?"

Left with no choice, Dick could only go along with Xiao Yi’s words and explain, "We’re friends on a road trip, but there was a car accident on the way. Thankfully, everyone is okay, but everything else was ruined, so we’re relying on luck that there might be someone nearby we could call for help."

"Is that so?" Although still somewhat skeptical, the girl believed them.

But at the same time, she looked at Xiao Yi and the others with a somewhat pitying gaze, "That’s really bad luck for you to come here at this time."

"Bad luck? What do you mean?"

"Well..." However, the girl didn’t plan to explain anything, "Anyway, follow me to the village. Rest for a while, have some food to regain your strength, then I’ll have someone take you away from here, to a nearby... well, slightly distant town."

"Thank you."

"Much obliged!"

"Oh, just call me Xi Yun." The girl named Xi Yun also asked everyone, "What are your names?"

After introducing themselves to each other, Xi Yun led Xiao Yi and the others towards the village.

Subsequently, the group arrived at a small village hidden in the mountains.

However, at the entrance to the village, a young man holding a hoe, seeing Xi Yun, immediately ran over with a foolish grin on his face.

"Xi Yun~ you’re finally back... Huh?"

But he quickly noticed that there were other men following Xi Yun, four of them, no less!

The smile on his face was instantly displaced by anger, and he charged over with his hoe raised high.

"You bastards! Don’t come near my Xi Yun!"

Dick’s expression became serious as he said to Yuzuki Hibiki, "We might have to move the story forward in this village, it’s best to get along with any villager, so go convince him."

Yuzuki Hibiki nodded and said, "I understand."

Listening to their conversation, Xiao Yi was taken aback, "Eh? Convince him, how?"

Yuzuki Hibiki smiled confidently, "Watch me."

With that, Yuzuki Hibiki leapt ten feet high! He spun in the air before landing on his knees, sliding about half a meter on the ground, coming to a halt right in front of the man.

Then, Yuzuki Hibiki pressed his head hard against the ground and exclaimed loudly:

"Truly! I am so sorry!"

"...Huh?" The young man was completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Yi was quite amazed, "Oh! Isn’t that the famous intangible cultural heritage from Japan, the sliding dogeza?"
