Re: プロローグ
Ah yes, good point there!
We’re hitting critical mass for all these names for me remembering who people are, I suppose.

The map stays the same in Junior edition until the end of part 2.
I downloaded a sample of the normal edition to see what’s there and it completely distracted me from actually reading the prologue yesterday

Honestly, マイン doesn’t have access to the map either, so you won’t be far from her perception of things. (Or that of the web novel for that matter)

Vol 6. プロローグ
Awww poor カルステッド. He put two newbies with low magic that would be useless in fight to do SOMETHING they physically COULD and yet.
Oh yeah, proximity to Myne would indeed return all the buried emotions back. Good for you, Ferdinand-sama.
Overprotective?! 神官長 seems overprotective, really?
I knew we had this guy! I knew he likes Myne! She IS the only source of good entertainment in the temple and he already mentioned (in his thoughts) that it’s nice how honest she is.
Lmaoooooo
High Priest: that was great magic she had there. And she’s a commoner, you’re the only one I can trust to treat her right.
High Bishop: /cartoonish evil guy laughter/
Upd:
Vol 6. 印刷協会
Prologue: ok so who gonna adopt Myne before nobles do something horrible to her?
Myne in chapter 1: This time I will be a great daughter and will do my best to give back to my parents!
Damn, maybe talk to her, Ferdinand-sama?
Bureaucracy strikes again. The author is very consistent, nice.
This is the second time Benno is meeting nobles because of Myne, the second time he had 0 time to prepare and freaks out. Poor man, that’s not how networking was supposed to go.
Why did Freeda think Myne is getting a lot of contact propositions from the nobles? Wait, can we go back to that? Please?!
Selling one book to Freeda for 1 small gold coin and 8 large silver coins.
Times twenty…
The total expected income: 3 large gold coins and 6 small gold coins.
Payed to Myne: 3 large gold coins
Projected profit: 6 small gold coins
…Benno, I feel like it’s not worth the trouble of to sell this you’ll have to travel too?

Vol. 6, プロローグ
So just finished the prologue myself; I enjoyed it. It was nice seeing Ferdinand from the perspective of someone who’s known him a long time and can interpret his facial expressions better than others. I thought it was a bit interesting how カルステッド didn’t really react much to the “has memories from another world” bit. Is this…not unheard of? 
I wonder if his adoption of Myne will end up going through… He seems like a decent enough guy, though if it does I hope we don’t have to sit through too many etiquette lessons with her.
I did have a question, final page of the chapter. Ferdinand is responding to カルステッド pointing out how unusual it is for him to worry about someone as much as he is with Myne, and Ferdinand replies:
[…]それに、私と同じような思いをする者はいない方がいい。
Why would it be better for there not to be others who as concerned for Myne’s well-being as him? Or is the 思い just indicating interest in general? He doesn’t want other people to take as much notice of her as he has?

Prologue answer
So that’s “I would prefer if no-one else had to go through what I did” / “to experience the same things I did”.
Probably related to the same sad past that カルステッド was thinking about during this conversation.

How do you get that from 思い?
1 Like
Japanese vibes moment, if anyone has more concrete thoughts here, help xD
Mostly from how 思い is usually used.
Like 怖い思いをする or all the other synonyms don’t just mean '“feel scared”, they also mean “going through something scary” / “experiencing something scary”.
So this is how I read it:
“She is a commoner without a powerful backing, I don’t know how she’ll be treated. And also, I’d rather no-one else had to experience what I did. That’s all there is to it.”
I also kinda feel like I’ve heard this exact usage somewhere before. Something like
そんな思いをするのは、私だけで十分よ

Ah, that does make sense, and does sound like something I’ve heard before.

I was kinda lazy and didn’t go back to the sentence, but I think that is also how I read it.
Doesn’t mean it’s right, but that was my understanding.

I’m on my phone and it’s not a spoiler, so I won’t put it behind a dropdown
To add to what @Kroki said, it’s definition 2 in my phone’s dictionary (and the first example sentence is pretty similar): =経験

Myne: wow that magical tool that 神官長 used to see into my memories is really powerful..if I had it, I could read all the books I’ve read before over again.
Just Myne doing Myne things.
I agree. I like her a lot, even though she’s a bit of a brat

Vol 6. ヨハンの課題
Pure baby Yohan assumed that Benno was Myne’s father. What a sweet boy he is.
In the meantime Benno is mostly outraged that he is perceived as someone who could’ve raised this failure of a cautious human being.
Omg. Capital and lowercase letters explained as “just as hiragana and katakana - two characters with the same sound” felt so alien.
Printing industrialization is happening in front of our eyes.
Vol 6. インク協会と冬の始まり
Ok so 3% of profit from ink in the first 10 years, 2% the next ten and then 1% “after that” - is that until Myne dies?
If they kill Myne now, do they need to pay anything to anyone?
Also wow, another old evil man. Sorry guild master, but counting you it’s 3 now.
Ah, maybe they also trying to see what else she knows…
Maybe could’ve spent more time with the family before holing up in the temple but nooo, evil guys had to ruin it

re Vol 6. インク協会と冬の始まり
No no, that’s 30% (3割), 20% (2割), then 10% That’s a bit more than what you think.
(dictionary definition: “① 歩合の単位。10分の1。「三―」”)
And yes, it’s forever.
Depends on the exact wording of the contract. I wouldn’t put it past ベンノ to make it so they would still have to pay to reduce the chances that would try something. (But I don’t really remember the details, so I can’t say).

Vol. 6, 印刷協会 & ヨハンの課題
I don’t blame ヨハン at all for mistaking Myne as Benno’s daughter; she basically is at this point.. I will admit the first step towards moveable type is pretty exciting; I’m a bit curious how she intends to rig it all. Pretty cool that フリーダ was her first customer, and even ended up giving her a good idea for her next book.
…Oh man, I didn’t even consider that. That’s a horrifying thought.
New goal time for Myne: save enough money to buy the magic memory viewer, spend the rest of her days immersed in VR.
Myne’s really ruining his image in society.
Right? It took me a moment to move past the thought of “why is this being explained??” haha.

re Vol. 6, 印刷協会 & ヨハンの課題
It’s not for sale. As Ferdinand said (last volume), it’s under the direct control of the 領主, and you need direct permission for using it.
She needs to get enough money to get a single-person version developed (and built) and then spend the rest of the her days immersed in VR.

And that’s why it’s good to write what I understand from the chapter explicitly
a bit more on Vol 6. インク協会と冬の始まり
That means temple gets 10% and not 1% too, oops.
I wonder how the payment is even described in the contract (they didn’t explicitly mention) - but I bet it’s not “go touch your card to Myne’s once a X, to pay for it”.
Maybe that’s why Benno’s name was on the contract…

Vol 6. インク協会と冬の始まり
Wow, what an unexpectedly tense chapter! I wholeheartedly support the インク協会’s chairman sending out thugs to look for Myne. Makes me wonder if he’s just after her juicy, inky secrets or something else. 
My hope is that they attempt to badger the temple for her info (after seeing her go in or something) and we get a nice scene of Angry Ferdinand.
Been a while since we last saw Otto. It’s amazing, he feels even more unreliable now after all the stuff Myne’s gone through since; he used to be the man with connections 
, and now his wife is all but chasing him with a broom…
