    Because, given the context, it means substantiation of absence, even though the thing being substantiated as absent is actually present.

    When you speak of something like Proof of Existence (存在証明, sonzai shoumei), it is usually the Proof of Existence of "something" -- a person's proof of their own existence, or so forth. Proof of Absence (不在証明, fuzai shoumei; alternatively, "Alibi") would also be associated with "something" or "someone."

    The specific context in which this is applied in the game script, however, gives that there is a "thing" -- Chaldea -- that "Proof of Absence" is being "used upon." As a result, even though Chaldea exists, an external observer looking at it would presumably only see absence. Ergo, the so-called "proof" is in fact false.

    Thus, "Falsification of Absence."

    Kind of reminds me of the Perception Filter in Doctor Who. It's there, you just don't process that fact.

    slow yo roll

    falla, 存在証明 is just a regular real life word.

    and so is alibi/現場不在証明 (but really almost always アリバイ)

    I get what you're trying to say but "falsification" is way too misleading.

    "Did I get my hair get longer?”

    Should probably be "Did my hair get longer" right?

    “Ah… You’ve put a lot of work into raising a rude outlaw like me. Are you into picturesque romance?”

    Could it be picaresque instead of picturesque? Seems to fit more with the whole scoundrel thing he's got going on

    Did he say 千山万水 or something else? I just have a feeling.

    In Vietnamese (I think it might have similar meaning in Chinese too) it's a proverb that means someone who've been through alot or traveled through many places, or to say that something (or some missions) being very dangerous.

    If that's what he said then maybe he's saying the target he's attacking is nothing compare to the crazy shit he's been through?

    I don't know any English proverbs/phrases fitting that meaning tho lol.
