Just finished the last four pages of chapter 2 and, indeed, nothing bad happens.
In fact, I will be so bold as to say that I did find キョン’s description of ハルヒ’s probable behavior quite funny.
Crossing my fingers for the rest of this week’s reading.
I’m not sure if it’s just because my 具合 is a bit 悪い, or because I was reading somewhat uncomfortably outside, but I had a harder time with this. There did seem to be an unusual number of words that I didn’t know.
I don’t actually know if I can name that many from memory, but I know 称号 and 追随 were two of them. It was more thinking “oh, I also saw that in SAO a couple of times” and being able to understand them than actually being able to consioucly recall which ones now that I’ve stopped reading though.
I feel like it might be an expression but I couldn’t find it. What I did find was 百人いれば百通りの考え方がある so I thought maybe it’s a play on that? Like “a 100 people would have a 100 ways of thinking”->“Even if there were a 100 people they would all think of that question”. Also not entirely sure that’s the correct meaning for 思い浮かべる.
I did not expect to read about フェルマーの最終定理 in Japanese any time soon It took me a moment to realize what フェルマー was until I saw what came after.
I actually enjoyed the reading for this week. Nothing resembling sexual abuse really helps i guess. But even then the addition of the new student and everyone’s reactions, including how キョン described it all was entertaining. And the end was my favorite part by far with all the mysterious 有希 business. Even キョン is aware that it seems extremely inconvenient and unnecessary so I’m hoping there is a satisfying explanation.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure we talked in the past about ハルヒ answering to キョン’s “thoughts” or narration, but I think this time I spotted 有希 doing the same.
I read the whole thing today . Not in one go but still in a relatively short amount of time. It amazes me how speed seems to increase exponentially as we advance through a book. Week 1 it was a nightmare just getting through one paragraph. The past weeks were probably a lot easier that the beginning but still, feels nice.
I actually didn’t remember this scene until it was happening. Right before I read the part where he started wondering if she was waiting in the park every night I remembered him thinking the same thing in the show.
I don’t remember exactly what it is she tells him, either, so even I am in a little suspense?
