Izutsumi Revealed in Five Keywords

5 keywords section from the Adventurer's Bible, this is transcribed from the EHScans translation for more info you can check this post. My own notes will be at the end of the post.

1. Monster Soul

Izutsumi's soul is merged together with a "Giant Cat"*, a monster that inhabits the Eastern lands. Just as the name implies, the monster is basically a cat, but bigger in size. Incidentally, the true appearance of this Giant Cat was made clear when the party was attacked by succubi and they showed one in the form of an "ideal type". Izutsumi blames the monster's soul for her half-human appearance, and also feels that it obstructs her from developing close personal relationships with others. She believes that once the curse upon her is removed, all of these problems will be resolved. It seems that Izutsumi also harbors some deep doubts as to how much of her original self is left inside her. *

2. Past

Originally put on display as a "Cat Girl" in a freak show***, Shuro's father ended up taking an interest in her and purchased Izutsumi. She was given the name "Asebi" afterward and started living at the Nakamoto household.

3. Maizuru

Maizuru is in charge of Shuro's education****; she is also the only thing in the world that terrifies Izutsumi. After she was taken into the Nakamoto household, Maizuru put Izutsumi through a harsh training curriculum designed to teach her speaking, common sense, and combat skills. Since Izutsumi would hardly listen to anything she said, Maizuru ended up putting "Ninpo: Babysitter"***** on Izutsumi, which would activate if it was not touched by Maizuru at regular intervals.

4. Dark History

When Laios and the others arrived at the Golden Castle's village, they saw people living together peacefully with monsters. The barrier cast over the village affected monster behavior, and it deeply affected Izutsumi as well, causing her to become clingy with Marcille. Upon leaving the village and returning to her senses, Izutsumi spent a while agonizing over how she had behaved. However, even in that changed state it seems she still did not like Laios very much.

5. Picky Eater

A very picky eater even during her time at the Nakamoto house-hold, Izutsumi would always give the food she didn't like to Tade. She harbors a serious dislike of mushrooms, and will toss them away in an egregious display of bad table manners. However, she seemed to enjoy mushrooms quite a lot when she was turned into an orc by the changelings…

Too many asterisks in this one

*Official english translates is as "greater cat" but the term in japanese directly translates as "big cat" (大猫) the same as as the big bat (大蝙蝠). I had to ramble about it here

**The translation of this section in the official english sounds very off to me, I recommend reading both to compare cause it's too many details to mention here.

***Official english translated it as "sideshow" but the term used in japanese "見世物小屋" does actually mean freak show, the ones with human exhibits.

****Official english translated it as "Maizuru, who was also Shuro's Governess,(...)", the actual word used for governess is "教育係" which as far as I could tell means "educator", I think governess works but it sounds a little awkward to me personally.

*****Official english translated as "Ninja Art: Babysitter"

yknow it is easy to joke about tumblr memes wreaking havoc on your vocabulary or whatever but when you are around people who are familiar with them it can be genuinely very useful to have a one-syllable noun meaning "unpopular yet heavily marketed streaming service that is going to inevitably go bankrupt in a year or two holding a show you want to watch hostage in the meantime"

did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”
