So I was playing around with the TRPG website’s character creation menu and was looking at the Special Skills.
Of course, I have to Google Translate that page because otherwise I have no idea what I’m looking at.
And GT, being GT, gave me this as a description for the Bard’s Mythical Anthem skill:
A better description would be “A holy hymn whose warm and soothing melody envelops the target like an affectionate mother; a support song that closes the wounds of allies.”
Some person on the AnimeSuki forums updated a bit on the latest chapter (99), which expands a bit on Krusty’s real life self (great, something new to add to the list of pre-Catastrophe stuff).
Krusty comes from a large family, with several siblings, but was not born from his father’s first wife. Nevertheless, his grandfather and other individuals placed high expectations on him, and he was constantly scrutinized by his brothers. I don’t think Sayaka, his sister and the one whom Rayneshia resembles, was mentioned at all. Krusty’s forgotten Rayneshia, but has a vague memory of a “hobby” back in Yamato (which is most likely bullying Ray). Kanami says that Krusty’s nicer than he used to be, something Krusty says is a result of his family not being here with him.
Also, Appletta and Fuevel, the two other girls that debuted with Rayneshia at the ball, are already engaged and set to be married, ring and all. Just so that you can remember that this world is a post-apocalyptic Middle Ages with the young marriages and all. (And so that Ray can feel lonely and jealous about Krusty having disappeared.)
Yen Press isn’t the only publisher that goofs up profile translations. The official Chinese translation accidentally gave Serara Tohya’s HP and MP stats.
(And today I learned that the Chinese and Taiwanese versions are different. Seems like the TW version is fine.) The two publishers probably had a template, or copied over the profiles and forgot to change it. That would explain why Michitaka was mistakenly made level 19 in Yen Press’ volume 2, chapter 5, which is Serara’s level in volume 1, chapter 5.
Actually, the Chinese version’s publication quality was so bad, some people wondered if it was a bootlegged version. There were more problems aside from Serara’s profile, but I couldn’t tell what they were since I can’t read Chinese.

A difference in popularity
Iselus: Isaac-kun! Start a round of sword-fighting!
Isaac: Sure, kid.
Rayneshia: Now, now, Iselus! It's rude to address adventurers so informally!
Isaac: Nah, it's fine. I'm used to it.
R: But...*flustered*
Iselus: Isaac-kun is just Isaac-kun.
R: Iselus!
R: Goodness...*sigh*
Krusty: You can call me Krusty-kun...
R: Yes, Krusty-sama?
K: Hahaha, you don't have to be shy.
R: Oh, no, I'm not. At all.
Heart-breaking
Iselus: Krusty-sama, do you want to be addressed the same way I address Isaac-kun?
R: Iselus!!
K: Yes, however...*sigh* As you can see, your sister is so bashful. It's quite the tragedy. (I'm at my wits end.)
R: Y-You glasses-wearing bully monster...!
R: Iselus, you mustn't listen to Krusty-sama...
Iselus: OK then! *beams* I'll address you the way you want in my sister's place, Krusty-kun!
<-a bit embarassed
Isaac: See how this pure child’s innocent words cut right through your inane lovers' quarrel? How does that feel, huh?
K&R: *cannot maintain eye-contact*
Unexpected
R: Do you dislike how I always address you as "Krusty-sama"?
K: Not particuarily...I'm just a tad envious of them.
K: It's almost as if they're...siblings.
R: (I'm sure this is only...)
R: (... another one of his japes. But then...why would his eyes show such loneliness?)
K: So, Princess, if you would-
R: All right.
R: Haruaki-sama.
Isaac: Seriously, ya gotta dial down your lovers' spats with the princess. Time and place, man.
Isaac: ...Dude, I didn't know your face could look like that. (Pigs are gonna fly. Stop it.)
K: (Yes, well...) Perish the thought.
Iselus: Sister?
R: (I didn't see that coming! What's with that expression?!)

Translation notes:
Haruaki is Krusty's IRL first name . 鴻池晴秋 could be read several ways but this Japanese LH wiki seems to support the “Kounoike Haruaki” reading. Riku also thinks it's likely read as "Haruaki".
I've previously translated Rayneshia's "Krusty-sama" as "Sir Krusty", but here I've left the honorifics untranslated because the contrast between -kun and -sama is integral to this comic. -kun is an honorific used for someone of equal or lower standing, more often used with men. -sama is used when addressing someone of much higher social standing. Rayneshia addresses all adventurers with -sama, presumably out of general politeness, respect, diplomatic reasons and/or as a reflection of her upbringing. At the same time, this formality could also be interpreted as holding someone at a distance.
I was tempted to tldr Isaac's lovers' spats line down to "Get a room".
I’m pretty sure Silver Sword’s caption is “Silver Sword Confectioneries”. No blessed clue what Log Horizon’s says.
In the background of the boys’ SS side, I can make out Ragoumaru (the eyepatch), Nantakei@Akiba (singing, with that … hair thing), Pianississimo, and who I’m pretty sure is Boss Blognese. Meanwhile, Shiroe and Akatsuki are on the shipping griffon.
It’s adorable how SS’ candy bags have two mini, decorative silver swords on them. I can imagine the girls of both SS and LH going around handing out candy bags to little Lander kids.
