Fujii remains a reliable guy, probably knows there'd be a reason Akira wouldn't come to school, didn't bother to ask but still did his job. Thanks for the translation!
Seems like there might be more supernatural elements beyond dragons at play, based on En's comment about the shrine and surrounding land. I don't think the series will go full "Actually, I Am..." with the school, but it'll be interesting to see what else the mangaka will include in this universe.
Pretty frustrating to see it end like this, I figured something would have come out of the romance part of a rom-com.
Still, thanks TL team for sticking with it!
