@Kurou I knew it, so a chapter did get skipped!

@guunahgar Or the author has future plans for the pirate woman

@alpy_g And yes, I am comparing a fictional character to your dumbass because you shouldn't be throwing rocks if you live in stone houses. If you're gonna criticize someone then you should be prepared to get criticized yourself. Whining about Kei overthinking when your underthinking a** can't even speak with proper grammar is just hypocrisy, I don't even think your a** is 16 yet. Come back when you've done anything comparable to Kei's, otherwise your complaints are just a stupid hypocrite's whining.

@axolotl No, I don't think the mangaka should rush and leave this arc unfinished just because your impatient, 2 second attention span gets catered to.

@alpy_g I can't even understand your broken English, at least write an intelligible reply so I can reply back.

@Raetard Oh also about that girl being Chihiro's mom, I mean the names already are kinda' similar, but also although I don't remember what chapter, I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned that Akemura is Chihiro's uncle. Unless Chiaki and Akemura has another sister, I think its pretty much confirmed Chiaki's Chihiro's mom.

@Raetard I don't even need to change angles, I see the churro chihiro resemblance just by squinting a bit It reminds me of that copypasta where every word is spelled wrong but you can still read the whole thing because the first and last letters are correct or something.

@RowMi Yeah, there's no way this is the final clash when we haven't met the remaining two sword bearers yet.

@axolotl Complaining about more story is definitely a new one. Usually people complain because the story ends short or is subpar.

@Someone What you need to do is leave the series for like, a couple months or so. The chapters are too short, so you'll keep getting cliffhung. If you leave the series for a couple months you'll be able to binge through the short chapters. I love Fragrant Flower, but I do not recommend reading this arc weekly, it distracts from the experience imo. When I came back here after a couple months and binged through the maybe 4 or 5 chapters of the Kikyo girls talking with Toki-sensei it was actually really good, way better compared to when I was getting distracted by how little the plot moved forward in the previous chapters when I was reading weekly. You'll likely notice this too if you reread this arc from start to end once we're done with this arc. Sorry for the long reply.

@Izirifael Yeah man, he's totally just here to recruit the new rank 4 adventurers *cope*

@If you reading this  Ofc not. He mentioned it before, but the apothecary lady looks like a girl Nozaki knew. I think that's why he's so enamored by her.

@Izirifael Wow a stabbing expert. Did you get stabbed in the stomach by a poisoned blade too??

@K.tatsuki_ Idk if the exp's even gonna be useful with that lvl up block thing, unless if one of these thugs are already rank 4.

@Ijedi Wait did the mangaka actually say this?
