About below sentences,
THANK YOU HANK!!
I was considering how I could explain. We,Japanese all know the
exact meaning of his nickname.
It's "Ship-poo Wolf"in Japanese. And this "Ship-poo" has a
meaning like "a strong wind that blows as fast as nobody can catch" .
So,I apologize my choise was not exactly correct.
But, "a gale" means something similar to my explanation of his japanese
nickname above , so, this "Gale Wolf" is the most familiar sound for
him unless someone found a correct translation for "Ship-poo" .
Additionally,Yoshiki Yanaka has no sense of English,neither of German.
I am sure that he couldn't talk even a word in English.
You can guess when you read the novel.
Rikako
SPOILER WORNING______________________________________________________
And this is quite personal though,I don't like his thinking about
women in the story.
It seems as if he has a image that "a short haired women are clever and
useful and become a good wife".
See Frederica,and Hilda. Two heroes both married to this kind of girls.
They married to their secretaries. Isn't it too easy?
Ithink those two girls are nice but I am unable to say they were sexy!
Surely,Reinhard seems he had no interests with girls,but in this situation,
it was,definitely,Yoshiki Tanaka's taste!
