Thank you for the chapter, at this point I think the photographer has to be trolling, she had no issue believing earlier that the club rep is a cat yokai once she started seeing the evidence and the reveal but for the next three cases she "tries" to rationalize her way out of accepting that the other cases she is a witness for are true? From the its just a best doggo wearing stockings, to oh its not a cat in a gyaru mechsuit its a promotional gimmick, to now its just an ordinary girl that can wrestle bears and has problematic spontaneous hair growth nothing to see here. I love this series and I hope these other gal pals don't end up being one offs either because it would be fun seeing them interact with each other as well. Well at least we know the photographer is courteous.
Also why do I have a feeling that at least now she is using her android clone to skip class and any social events she wants to avoid.

Thank you for the chapter.

I have a suggestion for you in regards to typesetting: please increase the line spacing for the text inside speech bubbles. It is somewhat difficult to read when the text feels like it's being squished together and letters sometimes overlap as opposed to having reasonable line spacing where each letter has a good amount of space from the previous line.

Like This? (left to right more spacing)

Looking at it in comparison the text spacing really is very cramped. Maybe I shouldn't have just stuck with the default it gave me...

Suddenly becomes half-were-bear Its a complex of mine!
At this point I think the editor in chief is the weird one because clearly they live in a world where UMAs, aliens, monsters etc. are all normal.
Also still love the Newspaper headline intro boxes.

Sound effects! ほか ほか (hoka hoka, pretty standard steaming hot sfx) ザバババドババ (zabababadobaba, um, if I had to guess I would guess that is the bear crashing through the brush but that is definitely a guess) ブァッ (bua) ズジャァァ (zujaaa) イヤアア (iyaaa, probably her screaming no) フオッ (fuo) チーン (chiin, probably a bell?) ググ (gugu, but I'm not sure about that? The characters look slightly different. Wish I had the page it was on for context but I keep missing it when I look through)

Found ググ immediately after I posted lol and it didn't clear up much. I'm guessing it is a gripping sound but it's not one of the sounds you can look up in the dictionary
Looking at all of the closest kana (グ gu, ゲ ge, and ブ bu) グ still looks closest to me. I see that チーン was over the broken camera now which... I mean, it is still a bell sound in the dictionary. Maybe the camera is in heaven getting its wings, lol.
