I’m reading this in Harta (magazine it was originally published in) so I don’t have the bound volume page numbers.

Handwritten text - roughly second page

ねぼすけのミラへ
急な学会の用事ができたので行ってくる。午後には帰るよ。レイより

Overall thoughts
This prologue is so cute, I like that the night that Mira summons somehow is not that sinister.

Yeah I never really felt sinister vibes, more like “I’m sad and lonely” (same) vibes.

For weeks that we don’t stop at the end of a chapter, I’ll be sure to post a pic of the final panel

Oh that’s a good way of thinking about it, I wasn’t quite sure.

:folded_hands::smiling_face: thank you!!

Feeling good about the prologue, but only because I’ve seen the blurb about it on Bookwalker. I imagine as it goes on I’ll want to do some re-reading of earlier sections to scaffold my comprehension

Summary

すればよかった = I wish I had done (in this case girl wishes she woke up earlier so she could have seen 師匠 before they left)

Ooh that’s beautiful, almost haunting.

It seems ミラ makes little nighttime creatures. Them existing is the reason 師匠 notices the problem. Mostly pointing out useage of ということ to myself but English not very equivalent.

HEADPATS ALREADY?

Well, consider me intrigued.

Does anyone know what is that コポコポ noise in the middle of page six?

Since it’s with a picture of Mira as a mermaid, maybe it’s some kind of splashing or bubbling noise?

Looks like bubbles/water splashing is right

(I just remembered I meant to join this club, but I haven’t read the section yet! So that’s what I was forgetting…)
