Man, yuu is such a fucking cool dude. Actually incredible. Im glad aika actually apologized and that she recognizes her flaws, great to see some growth like that.
Thanks for the chapter!

The comment about her not remembering things from before the "split" and the emphasis given to the "I'm me" line makes me think that these clones may not actually be "Machihashi Karin" but rather different people that have been "transformed" into her. That would even be a simpler solution then just totally rewriting reality. The only things that have to be changed here would be people's memories and their appearances, after all. (And if they were already lookalikes, the latter wouldn't even be needed, but I kind of doubt that's what it is.)

The might be a bit too much "psychological horror" for this series though.

Man this story is one of the most fun stories I'm reading at the moment. I really hope this stays good and doesn't get boring or adds to much drama in it.

Well the event was cute but solo vs team, the latter won, and well Aika joined the others, so far we might get next one at the end of the festival?

thanks for the translation

Based on the "kanae2-3maidcafe" insta account name in the previous chapter and it seemingly being the name of the school and the park, 叶会 seems to be the name of the town and read as Kanaekai. Notable because that means the text on the charm just means "Kanaekai Shrine".

Just note that this could still be wrong
Interesting, because 叶える (read kanaeru) means "to grant (request, wish); to answer (prayer)", so Kanaekai could very well be a reference to the charm fulfilling Karin and Yū's respective wishes.

You are grossly misinterpreting what she said. Her line was "I don't remember stuff from before the big split super well.", and then follows up with her confidently recalling memories of playing with Yū and wanting to show him how cool she is. She clearly does have pre-split memories, just that they're incomplete or not always clear. As shown by Yū's later recounting, her aforementioned memory is accurate, just not the whole picture; she didn't remember that she was putting up a cool front. The implication is that each splinter-personality has a biased version of the pre-split memories, with different elements downplayed or emphasized in accordance to each one's idiosyncrasies.

Using Aika as an example, her personality is all about being cool, and so her version of the memories exaggerates her coolness while suppressing the fact that said coolness was in reality a facade.

This discussion is all well and good, but we're clearly neglecting the real mystery:
What the heck an isekai gyoza is and how a stand hawking them beat out every Karin in the competition. Is one of the students importing food from a fantasy-cooking hybrid manga?

Is falling in love with yourself considered incest?
We're actually reading this series because, as someone diagnosed with something akin to D.I.D., the different Karins feel akin more to alters/headmates of a plural system that happened to get their own bodies instead of direct clones/copies. In this chapter you can even see them use "the split" as a term to describe them.

With how each Karin is representative of a different broken off part of the original Karin, but are also their own individuals, it's... complicated. (Of all the things for Inside Mari to help us with...)

Our own romantic partner actually started reading this series separate from us cause they felt it was relatable as a non-D.I.D. person (a "singlet") dating a system lol. So Yuu is extremely specific rep for a type of person and it's that, hah.

I think it's just a gyoza stand that's styled as an Isekai, with monster themed ingredients
