Without it, it would imply that the speaker is 甘えている in a one-sided manner.

Thanks again masaegu I'm glad I didn't miss anything.

Now for today's questions, if you don't mind.

What might 聞ミスてました mean here? And how do you real the kanji 聞 here? Is it still き?

2. http://i.imgur.com/x00mO.jpg
What could 当たってくだけろ possibly mean here?

3. でも…私には意味があるのです。小さい時に読んだ本に 出ていた王子さまはお姫さまを助けてくれたように。
Finally, can you please check my translation for the line above?

But... that does mean something to me. It was like in a book I read when I was small, the prince saved the princess.

1. Interesting mistake you made. It's like your knowledge got in the way, which happens to language-learners.

It says 「聞こえてました・・・」.　Read what you wrote carefully. One does not say 「ミスてました」 in the first place.　

2. It means "Take a chance!" Good expression to know. If you do not know it, you will NOT get it by translating from another language.

3. Good.

Thank you for the translation

I lear new things everyday.

Hi, could someone explain to me the meaning of "キングドライ"?

[coltostallion]

Two questions today!

First I believe is some sort of made up creature or something... 練念子 The furigana says "rennenshi"

Second is 国を傾けた楊貴妃が床で愛用し続けた”誘惑絃夢香” I feel like that one is just completely above my level XD

Thank you!

"King Dry". There is no meaning. It is just the name of a desiccating agent.

You cannot be asking both beginning and advanced level questions in just two days. If you do this, it is very difficult to offer help as we have no idea as to where you REALLY are in your Japanese proficiency.

If the creature is made up, so should its name, dontcha think? Never seen 練念子 before. It's gotta be a proper noun. Take it as is.

Are you sure it was 絃夢香 and not 幻夢香? The former looks "made up", too. The latter is an existing word meaning "love potion".

I usually don't just give people free translations unless they show their own attempts first. So this will be my last time. 「国を傾けた楊貴妃が床で愛用し続けた”誘惑幻夢香」 means "The magical love potion, which Yang Guifei, who eventually ruined her nation, kept using in bed."

My apologies. All the questions are sentences in a manga I am attempting to read. I can understand most of it with the help of an online translator but some of it baffles me. When I ask questions in the future I will post my attempts as well. Thank you

Wow, what an amusing mistake I've made. Now that I looked again, it's really hiragana, not katakana

Thanks again masaegu. I'm going to put it in my flashcard deck
