Wagaha–cat is back to judging his master, as master picks his nosehair and is somewhat amazed by it.

> I agree (sorry if it came across like I was saying it wasn’t), the setting/period is a really interesting part of Japanese history (and world history), it was a big turning point and so much was going on (good and bad). I think it was just the conversations in chapter 2 felt like they went on a bit too long with little else going on in between - and even in English I think I’d find them a bit much. But it’s also like you said, this is doubled by the fact it takes me awhile to get through each sentence, so light-hearted banter quickly becomes a trial to get through. Not to mention trying to understand and unravel the subtext and other connotations.

> Chapter 3 has started in the same amusing vein as what I enjoyed about chapter 1 - there’s a back and forth between master and what he’s doing/saying and Wagahai-cat commenting on it in his pretentious fuzz-ball ways.
