Today I learned that 鶴の恩返し is a Japanese fairytale Seems like there might be a few different versions of the story running around, but this one seems to line up pretty well with the one they’re referencing on pg 21-22.
(Here’s an English version if you’re not in the mood for Japanese listening practice at the moment xD)
(This version of the story replaces the old couple with a young man.)
At the time, I liked that it was mostly hiragana, but I didn’t know most of the words, and Japanese class in high school didn’t really cover grammar in any substantial way.

@windupbird oh I didn’t even realise it was a reference to a folktale, I thought it was just some kind of expression – thank you!
@2OC3aOdKgwSGlxfz me too, and I love the way he she talks with まこと! (Actually is Chito a he or a she?)
@Kappa420 I loved that Chito even chose any But he she does look very happy with his her cushion…
@Kyasurin I loved the the fabric shop scenes in this chapter!
Your cat fabric looks
looks like we’ve gained a number of new readers.

But judging from the last page it is a

I didn’t even think to look up a name in the dictionary! (Old habit, names weren’t in any dictionary I ever had)
