Ch.13 has been updated! For those who read the chapter on Nov 7th, there were two missing pages which now have been added. Sorry about that haha (thank you arangoth for the notice).
Phew, the misunderstanding's finally gonna get resolved...or at least I think. That final page of their younger selves are also so cutee!! Thank you translators!
It's really normal, it' used to accentuate that something has two sides to them. It basically means "with", or "and".
So like a businessman-cum-professor means that someone is both a businessman and professor.
I see it often in novels, reviews, and on the news or reports. But maybe it's used less and less because people keep associating it with the sexual cum. I see people misspell -cum- as -come too for the same reason...
So anyways, it's saying he's both high-spec and handsome.
Is there only two chapters left in the series? I visited the author’s twitter, seems they only posted a mini omake of it and no further updates as well on pixiv.
Kind of unfortunate, I really like these characters and would’ve loved to see more with them.
@redbeanbunny Ah ty, I’ve only heard of it being used in an academic context, Cum Laude, so it didn’t even click that there was an actual meaning but I’ve never really heard of it being used asides from that
