Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one offering salvation. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 181: Tormented
“Explain.”
She prodded a damp patch. “If drool is a torment, I’ll save you. We’re not moving on, right, Kohaku?”
“Not today. Nor tomorrow.”
“And we have clothes in our packs,” she reasoned.
Kohaku confirmed, “We do.”
“Perfect! I’ll do laundr...

Chapter 180: Besmirched

Mood Stripes 179: Compelling
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one with her own set of contemplations. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
