No, they do have meanings, you either don't want me to translate them, or they are untranslateable, like たけのこ派.

Oh yeah, I read about it in your older message... It's the people who prefer mushroom (きのこ) shaped sweets over bamboo shoot shaped. I guess I can actually write "Takenoko" or something.

Thank you for explaining. But they are translatable, so I'd prefer to translate them.

I thought you may say something like that, but I believe that there is a difference between "Demon's Child" and "Demon Child".

"Demon's Child" is an actual child of the devil/of a demon;

While the expression "Demon Child" (see entries #1 and #2) can also mean the same thing, but usually it means that the child that it refers to is heartless, very mean and even evil. I preferred to use the second one because I found it closer to the original (あくまのこ) by meaning and origin.

You may have confused the two, as I saw a line where you've written "Demon's Child" in the script.
