** The irony of this tamer, official version is that the "original" (read: chronologically first, that being DeJap) translation makes more sense for Arche. Otherwise that scene where she runs from meeting the Unicorn in fear of being "too dirty(-minded)" to approach it is kind of reaching for it, since "once having a boyfriend" is by no means a way of saying "I'm a horny young lass who's no longer a virgin at all, nosiree."

** The naughty words may be somewhat justified since Spanish speakers, especially in Spain, are pretty much desensitised to all forms of profanity because they're so commonplace. I remember hearing ten year olds saying "coño" (which also starts with a C in English) in class, in front of their teacher, without suffering as much as a second glance for it.
