surely she’s saying they would have all died in five seconds, right? I’ll grant that 5秒 and 業病 sound similar so I could be mishearing it, but one sounds more reasonable than the other
I mean, she did say that thing that morning about faking an illness.
Actually, it was probably meant to be heard as both. As in, she herself was saying the illness thing, but everyone heard that she’d kill everyone in 5 seconds. It’s an extremely Japanese (and also Shakespearean) joke.
In other words, the most accurate [and also toughest] way to sub that would likely be to find a similar way of conveying that sort of misunderstanding in English. The slurred speech should make that a bit easier to pull off though (and was probably the real purpose of having that there in Japanese). …I’m just glad I have no plans to sub this series myself, lol.
