Trivia[edit]
- A cupid has four wings and they are shaped like hagoromo, i.e. something variously translated as heavenly raiment, a robe of feathers, a feather mantle, heavenly kimono of tennin, etc. (source: Patreon PM from Kenkou).
Kenkou's Notes[edit]
This time's update is the mid-rank angel at Eros-san's place, “cupid.”
If a houri corresponds to an angel, then a cupid corresponds to a valkyrie.
But I'm not saying that the faith of the goddess of love has no valkyries, so please relax!
The two types of arrows they fire seem to each respectively have the power to grant love to those struck, or take it away. It is said that their duty is to use these to join men and women with love that have been ordained to be joined together by the goddess (her standards are uncertain).[1]フーリーがエンジェルにあたるなら、キューピッドはヴァルキリーにあたる天使です。 愛の女神信仰のヴァルキリーが存在しないというわけでは無いのでご安心を！
彼女達の放つ二種類の矢は、それぞれ当たった者に愛を与えたり、失わせたりする力があるそうで、
それを使い、女神の定めた結ばれるべき男女（基準は定かではない）を愛で結びつける役割を持っているそうです。TL Note: The line about how they quietly brush their body against his is a euphemism for sex. The original line includes a form of the expression 肌を重ねる 'hada wo kasaneru' which literally means to pile skin on top of skin, as in touching one's bare skin against another's bare skin in intimate physical contact. Some sources suggest skin can be a euphemism for the body in intimate context, which is why it is translated as 'body' rather than skin here. It could also be translated literally as "quietly initiate sex."[1]
