Queen of the Mad Dog Knights - Chapter 3

The translating rate for this will most likely be a chapter per month since my translation speed is not up there yet with the top guys in the trade (seriously how do they do that!).

the reason it takes me so much time is because I prefer quality over quantity, if all I wanted was to release chapters I would have just copy-pasted MTL from Google-senseis translation.

BTW, thanks to AdCealumNitor for being my Editor for this project *applause*!!!

so please enjoy our HQ translation (self-proclaimed but I do have some confidence).

for now I am gonna go with the format of jap-romaji-english (in that order)

might change it later on :

3rd episode: lets do it, lets do it, lets do a war! (by Mastiff & Pitbull)

Because weve made that country collapse, the one that caused milady so much suffering !(TL note: it may seem out of context but basically he is assuring her that she no longer needs to worry about anything because)

Yes,Grey-sama pridefully reports, raising his slightly drooping face

My head is becoming pure white.
Making the country collapse, that means they assaulted it right!? Then in the endwhat should we do.(TL note: in the raws, it was in Kansai dialect)

Apparently it seems that the 1st and 2nd Divisions main job is combat, and the 2nd Division, in particular, deals with trouble with foreign countries.

From the side, a huge, expressionless man with explosive, black, unruly hair, indifferently reports while looking at his documents.

Rascal Von Malamute-sama, the captain of the 4th division which is mainly logistical support.(TL note: for those confused, Malamuteisa dog breed. As most of you probably noticed their last names are dog breeds)

The elegance of the whites of his almond-shaped eyes, and the serious, brown pupils leave a strong impression.

Mastiff-dono. Is this achievement not thanks to us in the technology division? Especially since Blitzkrieg would be impossible if we couldnt transport the massive amount of tanks(TL: what is this dengekisen? electronic warfare?) (ED: if you don’t know about blitzkrieg, read the wiki:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg)

That right. If it werent for the intelligence divisions such as the 5th, and 7th divisions, grasping the political situation of each country, then the entire continent was about to be turned into a sea of flames. While it is a wonderful thing to offer Lizolette-sama a bold battle, we will be troubled if you dont acknowledge us, who brought forth a more certain victory

Next to him, a man with similar looks and ambiance, but with smaller build then Rascal-sama, adds his opinion.
He is the vice-captain of the 4th division, and his name is Keith Von Husky-sama.

With his straight hair, he looks like a close relative to the Malamute family.

Saying that, those four almond-shaped eyes fixed their stare on me.

Saying Praise us, praise us.

They are saying that We also worked hard

A person provided a translation in place of Keith-sama. The person, who hasn’t said anything for some time now and was firmly standing uprightly slight in the back, appears to be the captain of the 3rd division.

He is Apollo Von GreatDane.
Taller than anyone, with an ash-coloured hair and a gentle face.

But as no one spoke to him, I am completely clueless to what kind of work he is made to do.

To the three people having their own way with their opinions, Grey-sama adds while making an unamused face.

I know ! But firstly, the ones who made the other sides forces powerless and captured their royal family were us! Here, a new message came from Pitbull

What he took out was a big, rectangular box.
It seems like sounds come out from it when you put your ear against it.

An exaggerated, boisterous, and bold voice even louder than Grey-sama earlier, leaked out.

Captain! We have captured the source of all evil, the female Haidegger fox ! We are preparing the guillotinenow, but should we do it after we return home? Or maybe we should just bite off her neck?!

Please Stop !

I shouted without thinking.

The other side probably also heard me. For a moment there was complete silence.
Th- that voice is Lizelotte-sama! She has awaken, right?!In that case! To celebrate the awakening of the Queen lets perform a sacrifice festival!Let’s have a grand celebration by scattering around fresh blood and innards, starting from ‘this’ woman, the step-brothers, as well as those in the orphanage and of royalty!

And with this country as a foothold, we will gain total control of the old continent and offer it to the Queen! The continent name should also be Lizelotte Continent ! Noo, the worlds name should be Lizelotte! No, it must become it!(TL note: O_O wow the yandere is strong in this one)

His shaking delight is being transmitted, but the contents of the celebration are completelyout!
That’s enough, please stop! Please come back without killing anyone!
Eh, that cant be!
That can’t be
I understand that you have done it for me! But, I dont want anyone to get hurt because of it

To my scream, those on the other side of the box and Grey-sama seem to have received a shock.
There, the composed Leonhart-sama gave Grey-sama & co. orders.

Thats how it is. I wanted to send the fox woman and the step-brothers, as well as everyone who has caused Lizelotte-sama harm, to the gallows in this country but Until the end, Lizelotte-samadoesnt desire that now. To avoid decreasing the rations anymore, start an immediate retreat and negotiations

We want to be praised you see .!
Lizelotte-sama, please praise them.
Leonhart-sama chased away Grey-sama and looked over his shoulder to face me.

I gazed at the 4 of them, from on top of the bed.
Gazes full of expectations, are gathering together.

For working very hard for my sake, thank you very much
Lizelotte-sama!Master!Queen! !

To me who lowered my head in a bow and thanked them, they gathered closer by the bed with great joy. All of a sudden, their faces came closer to mine. What is happening!?
Leonhart-sama who noticed my agitation informs meLizelotte-sama, its the same thing as the one to do to the mongrelIt cant be

While having a bad premonition, I stretched one arm and timidly put my hand on Grey-samas head
OouThe old man was excited and I thought “Of course” as I moved my palm side to side

A refined middle aged man, is in a-g-o-n-y, to my patting

By the time I finished doingGood boy good boyto all of them while receiving a considerable amount of damage to my spirit, a bold voice sayingWe also want to receive the Queens reward. We shall retreat immediatelywas heard coming from the rectangular box, and the transmission was cut off.

The zaaaaa grating noise leaking from the box, is speaking the empty state of my mind.

Now then, after they left full of satisfaction I broke out with a fever and has refused any interviews for a while.
However, Leonhart-sama who visited frequently is different.

Apparently, it seems that his work was thrown away at his personal secretaries, and he finally started wearing an apron and acting as a servant.

I very apologetically asked of him toPlease work hard at your job
When I did so, all of a sudden he was full of energy and skipped towards to his workplace.
At the workplace, it seems he showed off the red collar I put on him, gathering jealousy

Speaking of which, those four from that time were also staring at the collar enviously

And so, they silently sneaked peeks at me from time to timeEh, I didnt notice anything!

The Shepherd familys boy was gratefulBy the way, he saidPlease tell her that I like puppies that can do their job

The one who told me that, was the lady attendant who accompanied to me
The round middle aged lady with a DON like intensity, is Theresa-san

As one who serves from Viscount Newfoundland’s family, it seems that she was originally supposed to have been my wet nurse if mymotherhad been kept in the Royal court(TL note: she said mother as haha which is a noblish and distant way to say it. btw NewFoundLand is an island in the Labrador province of Canada. senseis naming sense is leaving me speechless, is this novel supposed to be for Geography and Dog breed maniacs?!)(ED: Yup, as you probably would’ve guessed, Newfoundland is another dog breed and it comes from a place called Newfoundland and Labrador)

With already has 8 children, she is a strong-willed mother(TL note: this time she said mother as okaasan, the normal and familial way)

Because I never had anyone who could be called a mother-figure (step-mother is out of question) around me, I was perplexed

But, unlike the men who do nothingbut serve me with a respectful attitude, she always has a veryfriendlyattitude towards me(TL note: the friendlyis written in katakana in the raws, meaning she pronounced it in English and not in Japanese)

As I thought that maybe its because she is a womanOr maybe its because she is a mother(T.N: same here, mother is said as okaasan)

She softly embraced the nervous me, when she wrapped me in hervoluminous, softchest and stomach

I felt the feeling of mymotherwhom I am supposed to have no memories of(TL note: again she said mother as haha)

Ever since then I have been calling herTheresa-san, and she also calls meLize-sama

Only on adding the -sama to my name, she wouldnt budge, but I live feeling relieved enough every day nevertheless

and thenI asked her why there are no other royalty besides me

Her answer wasIn a little bit, when the time is ripe

At the very least, I came to believe fromher sad-looking behavior, that my biological father is already dead

Right now, there is nothing that I can do
We want you to rest well without doing anythingis what they wished

Well if thats what they wish, well, anyway first, I must healthfully add on some meat(ED: I think she’s trying to say that she needs to add more to her health aka get better) (TL note: actually I think she meant putting on some weight and muscle because she is too skinny, remember that she was starving for days)

While being taught light exercises that I can do inside the room, I decided to learn about the alphabet of this country

Here, the spoken words are understood but it seems the alphabet used is different
And its an alphabet system shared throughout the entire Lumania continent
This means I can quickly master the written language and read a book, right? Ilook forward to it

It was around the time I put on some meat and stamina and was able to walk around the roomI was wearing a pretty white andpurple one-piece dress and looking out by the window
In the wide garden that is seen from this room that is at one of the corners of the royal castle, the garden trees are vivid, and in full blossom with small cream-coulored flowers in this season

The garden was a very wide space
With the water fountain in the center, it seems it was devised to be loved by the royalty, for those nobles who became dogs to play in itItsnicknameisDog-Run-Court

Now with the exception of theGardner, it became a no trespassing area, a place to only take care of the garden trees

BaShiba is at my side, behaving as if he wants to look outside the windowIt seems he is being taken out on walks, but it looks like he is also interested in the scenery seen from here

When I picked him up by his armpits and showed him the outside, he suddenly criedKyanand ran away under the bed

Is there something there

When I peeked out the window again, behind the fountain therewas a considerably big shadow
Is it someone who broke the no trespassing ban?

Lize-sama, did something happen?
Someone is behind the fountain
Oh my, how terrible! We have to contact the guards!

Theresa-san leaves in a hurry
When I looked out the window again, the shadow was already gone

Exactly what was that

As I leaned my neck to the side, a bold angry shout was heard
It looks like an uproar is happening in the corridor

I still havent received the Queens rewardLet me pass through here!
You cant, not without the prime-ministers permission
Our clans motto isIf you want it, take it by forceDont you dare order me when you are weaker than me
This is the royal castle! The likes of the Pitbull familys principals are unrelated here
Shut up and move aside
kya~n

Right after flashy sounds *Baki* and *doka* were heard, and the door suddenly opened violently

The one who appeared was a muscular, grey short-haired young man wearing military clothes.
He wasnt very tall but, the sharp glint in his eyes, made his face intense

On the other side of the corridor that I slightly took a peek at, something like a heap of corpses was visible

The grey eyes of the man who found me glittered and he grinned widely
As he smiled, a canine peeked out as if splitting the big mouth

Yes, just like a wild dog who has found his prey!

This feeling is , definitely royaltyQueen I found you

To the petrified me, the man is slowly getting closer

BaShiba is, of course, not coming out from under the bed!
Rather, as I stand in front of the bed, something tepid is touching my heels It seems that Bashiba had leaked himself after being hit by the mans blood thirstBAD SHIBA

The man stood right in front of me, appearing to look down upon me
Being looked down upon, I was afraid of his villainous atmosphere from the bottom of my heart

To be unfazed after being hit by my blood thirstas expected from our Queenmypleasure(TL note: most of you know from the previous translator but I will say it anyway- my, pleasureis written in katakana thus the pronunciation is probably in English)

Not soMy facial muscles hardly moving, is natural from birthI was always told it wasnt cute

My spirit has already admitted defeat, and is surrendering to you!

With his characteristically fat finger helifted up my chin, andconstantly glaring at me with a look in his eyes that feels like he will bite me to death

I am the head of the Pitbull Family that compose a majority of the 2nd Division, BarbarianVonPitbull

The Pitbull that serves under Mastiff-dono, is my little brother

For miladys sake, we have made that country collapseBut apparently, you suddenly issued a retreat order, not making use of the Pitbull Familys fighting spiritTo notlet a Pitbull to fight till the end is outrageousI have come to file a complaint to milady

Its bad to not make use of their fighting spirit!? A soldier is that kind of a being?

Or so to say, the Pitbull is that kind of a Family!?

My confusion is, of course, not getting across
To the always expressionless me, Barbarian-sama laughedHis mouth looked even more open
Thats whyplease let me do a war

Pardon!?(TL note: hai! ?)

I finally was able to talk some words but, they didnt carry much meaning
To my answer (question), his mood improved

An answer with a good feelingAs expected from our last king thats rightVerywell, then its war(ED: not sure if it’s last king or most recent monarch/master)

Our meaning of existence is battleFor miladys sake I shall go and get a beautiful country smeared with fresh blood and offer it to you
N-no no no no thats not itLets stop doing warFighting isdefinitely not goodIn the first place, why do you want to fight(TL note: the words in ittalic were in katakana but were with Japanese pronunciation, so I guess it had some kind of dialect)

He dealt with my desperate denial with a single breath from his nose

FuhIt looks like you wont easily give permissionIts a shame, huh

In the first place, its because we are Dog-kin that were created for that purposeOur blood screams,’fight’

The Pitbull clan, it seems, strongly inherited the blood of the Dog-kin that extremely enhances their fighting ability as a result of the wars their ancestors fought in the pastThats why they love battles of death and life
Rather, if they didnt burn their battle-spirit from time to time, too much frustrationwill build up and they might just raise an insurrectionThey are that kind of Clan apparentlyWhat a bother

The royal family prepared all kind of battle stages to fight on, or so he says
Borders strife, a big scale bandits subjugationColosseum
Depending on the situation, there was even a time they were even hired out as state-mercenaries to other countries

It appears that this time my investigation & revenge (outburst of anger) towards the country that didnt come to my rescue, was the perfect opportunity
As toLet’s suppress the old continent

To our anger that is building up like magma, exactly how does milady plan to reduce it?

or maybe if we harass milady, willit clear up a little

He puts power into the finger that is holding my chin
There, Theresa-san returned in a hurry

What are you doingEven if you are the head of the distinguished Pitbull family, what a discourtesy towards Lizelotte-sama
In our dictionary, there are no words such asRespect because shes royaltyAlthough my little brother is an eccentric so there is no relation

While the Guards are slowly getting closer, Barbarian-sama peeks as close as possible to my face, smiling
This man is agitating meHe probably wants to make me angry

At that part I realized
I know of this behaviorIn the end this is the same as the other Dog-kin

QueenWe followStrong IndividualsHow much will Milady satisfy us

I dont know
Oh

I stood firm to his threat made in a low voice
In close quarters, I am surely staring back at him strongly

I dont know you at allOn the other hand, I have also yet to understand who exactly am IBut for now, you will let me praise you withYou did a good job enduring the fight at the old continent

And then I, softly removed his hand that was on my chin, and with both of my hands with *washi* , *washi* I ruffled his short hair

He opened his sharp eyes, and was in a daze while having his hair played with
And he started laughing at the hand that had completely ruffled his hair

Aha ha ha haSo its that way huh, Lizelotte-samaGor honourably praising our painful perseverance, Thank you very muchIn that case, we will temporarily withdraw

After all, it really has been a while since I was praised by a Royalty

Please quickly prepare for us a place to fight
Leaving such words behind, while showing his bulging back muscles, he laughed and left

Lize-samaThank goodness youre safe

Being hugged by Theresa-san, I finally felt relieved
I could feel my power leaving from my entire body

Barbarian-sama
He really was on the troublesome side

The next troublesome thing was Leonhart-sama, who came running, embraced me at full power and sniffed my whole body
And then to Leonheart-sama who is sayingThank goodness youre safe after being bitten by that savage dog, I said as such

It is something I did frequently when I was disciplining Bashiba

When he suddenly challenged his master bymountingon meThat is simply him wanting attention

Firstly, praise him
But, clarify the reason for it clearly
Even just with that, a dog-kin like himshould be satisfied for the time being
Most likely, I think that the fact that only his little brother hadGood boy, good boydone to him, had become one of the reasons for his anger

The Pitbull is a terribly troublesome dog-kin
This time I was able to deceive him but, I must think of how to deal with them from now on

Even so, it looks like there are still quite a lot of troublesomemad dogsin this country

While letting out a sigh, I was troubled over how to peel off this big golden-colored puppy that wont easily release my hands
