• かぐや様は告らせたい Vol.26 Ch.256-257

I don’t feel strongly about this arc, but prior vocabulary learning making going through much easier.

• うたわれるもの

Interesting words

• ブレ = blurring. From 振(ふ)れる. Probably like ボケ?
• ちっと = a little bit. Also, 些(ち)っと, and I have seen ちっとも…ない before.
• 優(すぐ)れる = to surpass. The vocabulary isn’t new, but without Furigana, and thinking about 優(やさ)しい (as well as 嬉(うれ)しい and 憂(うれ)える) makes it even more confusing. Kanji Level 23 and vocabulary in Wanikani.
• 変(か)わった = odd; weird. Like 変(へん)な as an adjective.

• 言伝(ことづて) = hearsay; rumor. 伝(つて) = connections, and in Wanikani.
• 蚊帳(かや) = mosquito net. Exceptional reading for 手帳(てちょう), which has additional meaning of a veil (帳(とばり)). 蚊(か) is just a mosquito.
• 利権(りけん) = personal interests, like of business and politicians
• 軟禁(なんきん) = house arrest; confining in their own house
• 幼子(おさなご) = little infant. Written in context with 幼児(ようじ).
• 調達(ちょうたつ) = supplying; procurement. First Kanji uses the meaning of 調(ととの)える.
• 選(よ)り好(ごの)み = being fastidious; being particular. The first Kanji is for choosing (選(えら)ぶ).
• 道交法(どうこうほう) = Road Traffic Act (law article) = short for 道路交通法(どうろこうつうほう)
• 百面相(ひゃくめんそう) = making different comical faces (面相(めんそう))
