Wow this chapter was a lot shorter xD But also felt harder for some reason :upside_down_face: Today I learned the phrase ε•θ€εŒη©΄ (かいろうどうけ぀) - happy life partnership; living faithfully together till death. It’s also the name of a sea sponge xD The sponge is so named because one male shrimp and one female shrimp live together inside the sponge for their entire lives (because they literally can’t get out, they get in when they’re larvae and then grow too big to leave :sweat_smile: While the implication is supposed to be romantic and the sponge is considered a symbol of undying love/sometimes given as an engagement or wedding gift, I don’t know how romantic it sounds when I think about that part of it :joy:). They are very pretty sponges though xD In English, the sponge is called a Venus’s flower basket :hibiscus:
