detachable nails with mini-magnets is actually super smart, utilizing the natural ferrous material of her nails like that.
And the added bonus of being super easy to attach and quickly change out different nail sets in short succession feels like a hidden perk of this process.

Thank you for the chapter. This is a very cute series; glad to see it still going strong.

On page 4, how the heck did the translation team get "maggots" instead of "cows"...? There's even a cow on the panel...
Also, "blue skin and four chests" when it should be "four arms"?
I don't think MTL would mess up like this either.
On page 5, "woohoo" isn't any part of the extra text.

At least this upload will prompt another group to upload I guess, but man, the TL needs work here.

I definitely saw "maggots" and was like "I'm sure it's not correct but the idea of "demi-human maggot girl" is so funny to me that I kinda hope it's actually what the original Japanese said"

The "four chests" threw me for a loop, though, especially when two arms look like they're coming from the back. That would suggest four sets of pectoral muscles (lateral and dorsal) maybe (and some very weird scapula/collarbone configuration), but not necessarily front & back tits.

Though now I'm just curious how "demi-human" suddenly includes entities that seem more like Indian deity-coded, than conventional mythological being.

Looking at the raw, that one would actually be pretty easy for a machine to screw up depending on how the stuff was fed into it. Like if it was done by camera a single bit of dust or second of fuzziness would easily make it see ウジ instead of ウシ.

Yeah, the group that was working on this before does have a tendency of sitting on things until they get sniped and then suddenly dump a few chapters within a day of it.

I could see it, maybe, if it somehow saw 腕 as 胸 or something along those lines. Kanji is on the smallish side and hand written. Still wrong and should have gone through a TLC pass but I could specifically see this being possible if the translation was entirely OCR -> MTL type thing.

Still thanks for the TL and maybe it'll make the previous translators pick it back up. It looks like the raws are only up to Chapter 5.1 so it's not like we're missing a ton of chapters anyhow.

Gonna just keep a bit of a running tally of TL corrections here:
TL -> Actual
(Mentioned by @FlaminSurge) Maggot (ウジ) -> Cow (ウシ)
(Mentioned by @FlaminSurge) 4 Chests (胸?) -> Arms (腕)
(Mentioned by @FlaminSurge) Random Woohoo~ -> Should be something like "Well, the photoshoot was a while ago" (撮影はずっと前だろうし)
Gui (グイッ)-> Bang (バンッ)
I want to see you right now (今見たい)-> I just saw them (今見た。。。💦)
Well, it's not that bad, but... -> It's seriously amazing! (マジパないんですですケドー!!!)
I strained my ears -> My shoulders are stiff (肩凝った)
Summers got me all hyped up -> Seems like this is a pseudo-duplication. Theres a subtext in the bubble that I think is "Well, you've already gotten away on your own tho" (吾妻クンがはなれてるケドね)
Minor missed subtext -> "No way!"(マジありえんし)
