T/N: Hi, everyone. Some of you might have noticed that we have started to use LN names instead of previous WN names at some point. It started off as a mistake, but if possible, we would like to continue with the LN name. There are multiple reasons for it.
As we don’t have a list of old WN names, there are chances that we might end up using wrong names (like now). Other than that, LN names are also more accurate (reason why we didn’t notice name change), so they are easier to keep track of.
Here is the list of names affected:
Nore (Noa) => Noire (Noa)
(Nickname will be the same, so it won’t affect reading.)
Cliff Foshurōze => Cliff Foschurose
(Only last name is affected, so it won’t affect reading.)
Elerora => Ellelaura
Serena => Selena
Lara => Lala
Gordo => Gold
Nert => Nelt
Nifu => Neff
Petora => Petra
Foruōto => Folhaut
Ranzeru => Ranzel
However, if you feel strongly about it, please let us know in the comment. We will hold a poll to make the final decision. Thanks.

Kuma-san cheers for Fina at the Second Round
Fina’s entrant number and name were announced.
“Onee Chan’s name was announced!” (Shuri)
“Indeed!” (Tirumina)
Shuri was delighted, and Tirumina-san looked relieved.
Fina gave us a small wave, Shuri returned it with a big wave back, and I waved back.
Considering the order in which they finished dismantling, I knew she would make it through to the first round, but I was still anxious until they called her name.
“Fina-chan, I knew you could dismantle, but I didn’t know you were this good. Some people participate for money, but against those who have a certain level of confidence, 13th place is amazing.” (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san mentioned admiringly.
“They get paid?” (Yuna)
“Oh, Sanya didn’t tell you? When they sell the materials you dismantle, you get a portion of the money. It’s like extra income. So the higher ranked you are, the more money you’ll get.” (Ellelaura)
Given that the higher the rank, the more money that comes in, it would be like a cash prize.
It might be a necessity to attract participants.
Then, the numbers up to 60th place seemed to have been announced by the master of ceremony, and some participants were both happy and sad.
Those whose numbers were announced had a variety of reactions. Those who thought it was a given that they would pass did not react at all, while others showed a small guts pose, and those whose numbers and names were announced just before the 60th place were overjoyed.
The male master of ceremony introduced a female adventurer and a female receptionist, who seemed to have made it through the first round. Several other women also made it through to the first round.
They were a little older than me, but very impressive.
Well, the most amazing one was our Fina.
“Now, the 60 participants who made it through to the first round will take a 30-minute break, and then we will start the second round, so please wait a little bit. Those of you who failed the first round will receive a scoring sheet from the officials, so that you can correctly understand what went wrong and improve on your dismantling skills. And we look forward to your participation next year and see how much you have grown.” (Master of Ceremony)
Each person received a scoring sheet from the staff members.
No one seems to make a fuss or complain.
Well, the Adventurers’ Guild was in charge, and no one would pick a fight with the Adventurers’ Guild.
The participants then disbanded once the discussion was over.
As I watched Fina, people started to gather around her.
Maybe they thought she was a cheeky little girl, or they failed because of her, or they were flirting with her, and it might also be a group lynching. I could not complain to the Adventurers’ Guild, so I went directly to Fina.
When I was about to jump out, they shook her hand, put their hands on Fina’s head, and started talking to her happily.
Apparently, they seemed to like her.
“Oh, Fina-chan, you have become very popular!” (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san smiled as she looked at Fina being surrounded.
Well, I guess it was expected. There was no way they would lynch a group with so many people watching.
In the first place, Sanya-san would never allow it.
But I was glad it wasn’t a group lynching. I would have jumped out and made everyone fall prey to my Bear Punches.
