That’s chapter 3 complete! I found it to be a more fun chapter to read over chapter 2, Wagahai-cat’s espionage mission was so overly dramatical it was hilarious (and again, felt very modern). The conversations were also not quite as long and meandering, it felt like there was more back and forth going on (with disparaging remarks from the Wagahai-fluffball).

Though saying that, these guys just had a massive in depth conversation about noses to close the chapter. The noses of historic famous figures; glorious, magnificent noses; the exact measurements and formulas that a perfect nose should be and adhere to…

Anyway, I have some macha tea and macha mochi to celebrate
Well, I coincidentally have mochi to celebrate, I happened upon some and impulse bought. I am using this as an excuse to consume the mochi
