Dear Justin,

Spoiler warning, Season 4+

























Again,I must apologize for my clumsy English.
What I wanted to mean is that Yoshiki Tanaka's
impression about females is prejudised.
I never meant Reinhard and Yang had bad tastes.
I just couldn't understand those ladies' appearance.
At least, it's written that Hilda is a pale-blonded boyish
beauty. So,there's no problem about their apperances.
I like her character. I even think she is cleverer than Reinhard
sometimes.
What I feel curious is Why Tanaka imagined her appearance like that,
I mean, a boyish one. He could've make Hilda's appearance like
Elfriede von Kohlrausch, or, someone who is more feminine looking
instead of that short haired.
Even if she was sexy and beauty, it doesn't mean she's neccesarily
"hot air"(she was young and silly though).
Annerose had a long hair,but,she was a mistress.
Dominique also had a long hair and she was a mistress,too.
Elfriede was Reuentahl's mistress.
Tanaka must have a fixed idea about females in his brain.
This opinion is maybe too personal,but, I sometimes feel
some kinda unpleasantness about his fixed idea.
Let's imagine Hildegarde-looking Dominique talking with
Adrian Rubinski.

If it's possible for me, I'd like to help you with pleasure, but, as
you know,my English is ,absolutely,not enough to translate their
conversation. Is it something I can do? It depends on what to do.
