As if the seasonal rain front was taking a brief recess at last, Tuesday was the first clear and pleasant day in a long while.

Wednesday?

With only a few fleecy clouds floating in the sky when 6 o’clock classes ended

Looks like it should be "6 hours of classes". It couldn't be 6 o'clock because the potral opened later, at 5.35.

Hmm. If this is a countdown, then when the digits will reach zero in 3 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes in Japanese Standard Time

25 minutes.

Hmm, I see what you mean for the second one, 6 o'clock doesn't make sense. And yeah, I did mix up Tuesday with Wednesday, good job finding that.

Hey I would like to know if accel world novel 6,7,9,11 would be translated any time soon or do I have to wait for yen press to translate them?

It may be possible that they won't be on BT before the project's removal.

What Misogi said.

I'm helping with V6 and translating V9 and V11 on my blog currently. As for V7, I'm not sure if Kai Ding is going to continue or not.

‘It’s before 6:30, but do you have some time right now?’

I think 十八時五分前 is "5 to 6 pm".

十八時五分前 17:55

I think he meant "5 minutes to 6 PM".
"It's 5 minutes before 6 PM" or "There's 5 more minutes to 6 PM." sound more natural, though.

Well, since I was lazy I used 17:55, but it's right, he says 5 minutes before the six PM, but depending on how the sentence is molded there's no problem in using 17:55 though

edit: you can just

‘It’s before 6:30, but do you have some time right now?’

to

‘It’s 5 minutes before 18:00, but do you have some time right now?’

Yeah, I meant this.
In spoken language we usually don't say things like "17:55"... especially Pard-san with her compact style of speaking .

I've finally purchased my copy of V6! I'm not sure how I'm editing the chapters; half of the time, I'm editing the sentences, half the time I'm retranslating them wholesale. The fan translation and the official translation really show their differences here (especially the flame casting at the end of chapter 6).

Looks like this'll be my current project for awhile.

The huge motorbike, with its rider on it, was being carried on the right shoulder of a short-statured avatar not even half as tall as the bike, who stepped over the rubble barricade with great effort.

Seems strange. Later Utan was described as "several centimeters shorter than silver Crow". But "not even half as tall as the bike" - is just something flat...

If Haruyuki received a direct punch from him, he would be blown away by damage equal to a 2 level difference

Seems strange too. From the sentence, it looks like Utan is 2 levels higher than Haruyuki, but it's the other way round.
パンチの直撃を喰らえば2レベル差など吹っ飛ぶほどのダメージを受ける、
I can't decipher it, but maybe it's "despite 2 level difference" or something like that?

The big American bike had already dashed more than ten meters ahead

Hundred meters.

Eee, who added that last line to my previous post? I didn't write it...

Okay...

“You should have learned this from Haruyuki-kun’s mail as well, but an event known as the «Grand Castle Capture Race» also occurred one year ago as well.

But in 5-4 we had

Like when the «Tokyo Glass Castle» opened up the year before last…’

And, btw, "Grand castle" vs "Glass castle". I guess it's grand...

It's half of the bike with the rider.
As in, the height of the bike + rider, while the rider's riding on it.
And it's "...appeared to be only around half of...".

"Eating that punch head-on would do enough damage to make the 2 levels difference pointless."

Yes, "Grand".

Oops, sorry Ushwood, that added line was by me. I was half asleep at the time and clicked edit instead of quote by mistake.

Anyway, Tap's explanation about the half thing is probably correct, since that makes sense to me now after rereading the original text.

As for the whole "year" thing, that was probably just bad word choice on my part, it should be one year ago for both of them.
