Record of Elmira's Child Care Struggles Come to think of it, I don't know much about the girl named Elmira McCartney.

Epilogue The sub-story involving Aogasaki Rei and the marriage proposal from Yamanashi Asao had ended. Though the plot ended up expanding beyond what I had predicted, I think that in the end, the story managed to delve deeper into Aogasaki's character.

Since there are still two 'Evil Spirits' left, it's not… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 4 Part 7

The audience, rushing towards the venue through all available pathways, was quite like a crowd of zombies. They all had a blank expression and were shuffling towards us while their eyes were out of focus, as if they were sleepwalking. To make matters worse, a majority of them held bamboo swords. (To think that the… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 4 Part 6

Aogasaki was quite bewildered by the heron-type apostle who suddenly appeared and declared her participation in the competition. Her fated rival, who she had fought with countless times and even went as far as to do a swimsuit showdown with...was now siding with her rather than the with the apostles, so it's understandable that she… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 4 Part 4

For a brief moment, Aogasaki stared blankly at Taotie, who arrived in high spirits. Meanwhile, Taotie practiced swinging his bamboo sword while full of energy. No matter how I looked at it, he was doing golf swings, but it's pointless trying to point out minor details to him. ...This is going to be unfortunate for… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 4 Part 3

"Glad to go head to head with you, Kobayashi." "I give you my regards, Miyamoto." It was just before the beginning of the match. During that interval, Miyamoto and I briefly exchanged words.
