@JustNatsuki Fine. I don't hear the word 'wailing' that way, except the loud cries part at the end, but I guess the dictionary does. 嘆きの亡霊は引退したい still absolutely does not mean "The Wailing Ghost Retired". That is still wrong and I stand firmly behind that statement.
This is all irrelevant to my...
@JustNatsuki "The wailing ghost retired" Is also a very inadequate translation. Worse, actually, than the other one, so I wasn't even commenting on it. The fact that the tense is wrong (past tense when it should be desiderative) is a first-year-level error. But in addition, 'wailing' just means...
Who the heck translated the title? "嘆きの亡霊" doesn't even vaguely mean "Strange Grief".
嘆き -> Lamentation or Mourning (could be 'grief' in that sense)
の -> Genitive particle
亡霊 -> Ghost

@PineyCreek no I'm pretty sure this is the main story. Chapters up until stabby girl slipped him a dagger were pre-reincarnation, and this is now post-reincarnation.

@AchmodinIVSWE frankly I think so, but not sure. In the WN up to the point that is translated so far, I don't think she has actually shown up that I recall. MC does not spend a lot of time with family.
@jorgelotr @stanisrealbad @AchmodinIVSWE The same word is used in Japanese for step-sister, adopted sister and sister-in-law. The TL has to know the relationship in context in order to TL correctly. This can be difficult early in a story.
