The Exiled Royal Architect Develops An Island With Magic Construction Equipment And Fluffy Animals - CH 60

”Of all people, Dowal, huh…” (Wirk)

THe name unconsciously spills from my mouth as his face comes to mind. I never expected that name to come out of Jay’s mouth…

”What, you know him? But that was back in my father’s time. To humans, that must have been a long time ago, right?” (Jay)

He says that since dwarves have a long lifespan. Dwarves live twice as long as humans.

”Yeah, I know him, but only in the sense of a family name. I don’t know the person himself.” (Wirk) [TL: nvm, guess there aren’t time paradoxes or the likes…]

”Oh, I see. Right, humans also have great names, huh.” (Jay)

The “great names” Jay mentioned is the family name that I spoke about. From the way he speaks, it seems that dwarves don’t have such a custom.

Although there are also humans, such as commoners, who don’t have surnames. I was the same, but when I was recognised as a magic architect, my master, Arc, gave me his surname, Lufta. It’s a family name that has been passed down since the founders, but I don’t use it often because I still think it’s too much for me.

”What happened between Wirk and that Dowal?” (Eph)

[TL: A new name, but for an old character (plus a surname for the MC). The surname is probably a pun set up so that MC’s name reads “Love to work”. No clue what his master’s name is supposed to be. I assume it’s a pun on “arch”, but the spelling is weird in that case, plus the surname doesn’t work out for it. On a separate note, I’ve realised this chapter that our author does indeed know the difference between an architect and an engineer, so to those who have been thinking “shouldn’t it be magic engineer instead?”, I say that it’s most likely that the author intentionally mismatched the job name. Wouldn’t surprise me, what with all the puns in their naming-sense.]
