Fate/strange fake (Free-Range Spoilers)

[Lelo]

Thanks for the TL and don't worry about the wait.
The fact you're working on it is enough, take your time.

[Holiday]

Thanks for the TL, OtherSide

Good to see that Buzz Cola's backstory is just a parade of references to minor Nasuverse characters

[Rafflesiac]

Magalo or Der Familie gouged out one of his lungs, and Brother Degras burned most of his Magic Circuits.

So which reference is this?

Thanks for the chapter, it was pretty good.

[Guga]

Thanks for the TL once again

[Comun]

So which reference is this?

Thanks for the chapter, it was pretty good.

Nasuverse character yet to be introduced or mentioned anywhere else. Or maybe unnamed background characters since Narita already proved later than this is within his reference range.

[RCM9698]

Thanks for the translation as always. As already said, take your time. We're all thankful to have you working on SF.

[All fictions]

Thanks a lot for the translation!

How many Masters does it make now who wants to break the masquerade? The Borzark girl, Bazdilot now, and Prelati I believe?

Also,

I think he fought to a draw with Wu from the Marvel Company . . .

Isn't it the Marble Company?

[OtherSideofSky]

Isn't it the Marble Company?

Yeah, I thought so too, but the text (マーヴル) is pretty unambiguous. It could be a typo, but I'm going with what's on the page unless I can find confirmation.

[Balthizar]

He should have known that Disney spares no expense.

[Comun]

Kogetsukan is completely consistent with マーブル and Narita is called the King of Typos for good reasons. I'll assume it's a typo until Narita drops a tweet explaining that the company was originally named Marvel but had to rename to Marble to avoid copyright complications with the comic book publisher.

Faldeus stream of fuck ups continue, how did this guy survive so long?

this somewhat applies to Orlando as well, but he suffered the consequences early on enough to take a hint at least

Being a Narita character

...good point

[lieSiny]

What's going on with Alcides? he got poisoned by hydra venom and it's deadly, i get that but
is he using chiron's immortality
if he is using it why is he mentioning the mud to help him?
can someone make it more simplier for me?

I don't understand the mention of the boar, but: 1) Chiron's immortality was an extra life that saved him from death 2) This does not stop the poison as it would just continue to erode his body even after the fix 3) Mud is what insulates and cancels out the poison. Physically. 4) Alcides is still suffering from the pain of hydra poisoning without being able to die. In a few days, he'll lose his sanity.

Kinda spells out how OP grail mud is that even god-slaying poison isn't a big deal for it. Also Herc's mental fortitude is killer.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I wish Narita had ended with "He was a gangster". Now that would have been kinda badass. Also, I'm kinda glad that Baz wasn't necessarily humanized in a traditional sense. The man has some sentiment, but it's not anything resembling a mage's sentiment or a human's sentiment. Buzcolla seems to me more of a demon in human skin or something of the sort.

By hiding behind everyone imaginable. Once he's found, gods have mercy.

Even then, I don't think Orlando realizes quite yet the true depth of his miscalculations and how much Dumas is willing to risk.

I guess his "prize" for the Erymanthean Boar labor was Chiron's immortality that he accidentally made the latter forfeit on-route, since I think he went to Chiron for advice on how to kill the thing? Did one of his labors involve freeing Prometheus? I don't think so, but...

[asterism42]

He did free Prometheus, actually. Don't think it was during the labours, though.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

The latter part was my question. I knew he chased the vultures away, but not if it was a labor.

[Lobo]

He went for advice on how to capture it alive, not kill it
Freeing Prometheus wasn't part of his labors but something he did during them

There are many versions of the myth, of course, but some has it that Chiron gave his immortality to Heracles, who later use it to bargain with Zeus for Prometheus' freedom. Sort of a live for a live type of deal, Chiron's an immortal's life for Prometheus' another immortal's life
I'm guessing Narita went with this version of the story. I wonder if because Herc had to free the boar at the end of the Labor is one of the reasons why he doesn't have it (besides Chiron's immortality being a bigger prize of course)
