Note: This novel was translated a long time ago, right when I was only just starting to learn Japanese. Originally it started as a project where I was testing to see how successfully I could Google Translate the novels, combined with a bit of manual research for terms the machine couldn't understand. Please note that much of this novel (most notably the entire first half) were almost entirely machine translated, explaining it's questionable quality.
While it was machine translated, I looked over it some years later and, even though its a pretty lousy translation, it's not necessarily inaccurate. It still functions fine as a basic reading of the text, just has some nuance in lines and minor details lost compared to the original (some of which I fixed, but obviously this doesn't change the fact that it's an inherently flawed translation). I'm planning on retranslating it eventually, but it's not at the top of my priority list for these reasons.
Translator's notes: I believe Mr. Fugo's name is supposed to be Hugo, considering the European setting and that fu/hu are effectively one sound in Japanese. There's a bit of a double meaning to his name, however. Fugō means "millionaire" in Japanese. His full title, which I translated as "Millionaire Fugo", is Daifugō Fūgō--"Grand Millionaire Millionaire", basically, though Mr. Fugo's name is pronounced very slightly differently than fugō (millionaire) is pronounced.
