Author's Commentary #136:
Time to talk about Chapter 136: Trial and mastermind.
We're in the endgame now with only 6 main chapters left after this. But there's still one last mystery to solve, but first let's talk about the chapter. It really went by quickly, and as a result of Itsuki testifying, Mahi was eventually found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, all isn't quite well as it appears that Himawari's decided to make her move and arrest Rika. But first, let's talk about a character I meant to talk about previously, Mimi's father, Lucas.
ルーカス・ソルハヴェット (Lucas Sølvhavet) is how his name is spelled in katakana. His last name, Sølvhavet, is Norwegian for "The silver sea".
マーシャ・ソルヴァヴェット (Masha Sølvhavet) is how his wife, Masha, who is also Mimi's mother, has her name spelled in katakana.
Both of their birthdays are on November 2nd, however they were born in different years. This date was chosen at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is their birthday.
His favorite food is kringles while Masha's is suksessterte.
トム・ルビオ (Tom Rubio) is how Tom's name is spelled in katakana.
His birthday is December 29th, which is the day Texas became the 28th state to join the US.
His favorite food is chili, which is also the state food of Texas.
テレサ・ブロードストーン (Theresa Broadstone) is how Theresa's name is spelled in katakana. Unlike Tom, she'll be a very important character in other works, in fact her name might give away how she'll fit into the Jouzu-verse.
フィアナ・クニンガーナ (Fiana Kuninganna) is how her sister's name is spelled in katakana. Kunninganna is actually Estonian for "queen".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Both were born on April 4th.
Their favorite food is cucumbers.
While these characters won't play much of a role in this story, Rika simply meeting Theresa will end up effecting things later down the timeline. I won't say how, but I will say it will occur in En Passant Grandmaster.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
