Phew. Adapting Chameleon's archaic speech was actually harder than the translation itself.

(The trick is especially the "sessha" first person implies humble deference, so I tweaked the phrasing accordingly instead of veering into Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe.)

@CinderBH
See what you think of Stan Miller's approach used for GG-chan in Precarious General Black, using "This one" for the self-referential phrase.

I tried using that and other similar ones too, but I couldn't work them into such short sentences without making them hard to read. Besides I still had the "de gozaru" to address (which GG-chan actually doesn't use, huh). So I went with the approach you see above; avoiding abbreviations, using old-fashioned words and making her way of expressing herself more humble.

Fair enough; as long as you were aware of the option, that was the important thing.
