And this is the end of the volume! I didn't do any joke "next time" page for Volume 14 because I've been focusing on just translating everything I've got for these weekly releases.

And I knew it... I KNEW IT... when the gentle papa panda gets pissed... he fucking snaps. I love it.

I've got up to chapter 57 translated and ready to go, I've got up to chapter 60 prepped for translation... Chapters 61-64 should be out in digital this September, and we're still on track to be current by the autumn!

Oh ho, pretty fun stuff. Rip to the chain. They're always a fun weapon.

I was wondering if that sword Avan got was the sword he used at the start of Dai, but unfortunately it looks like it's a different sword. Ah well.

At some point we know he seeks out Popp's dad (Junk or Stein, I forget which) to get a good weapon... so I suspect the sword he has at the start will be from him.

Aaaand the chain got clapped real hard, RIP. Thanks for the translation, Tahlynne!
Also, about the sword Avan starts in the original series, I believe he comments on that, saying it was "just a cheap sword he bought at the market".

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he said "just a Junk(tm) sword" meaning Junk the swordsmith and not the quality! That's a retcon I could get behind.

You never anger the quiet ones, that’s for sure

Well we do need an excuse for him to meet Popp

I mean, as I recall, the canon reason he meets Popp is that he is browsing his dad's weapons shop and spends the night in Lankirks. And we've already got the set-up set up for it. He was introduced previously getting PO'd at the politics of Bengarna and decided he and his pregnant wife would take over grandpa's weapon shop.

Well yeah, I was just saying they were lining it up XD
