I feel like the conversation in this chapter is just foreshadowing a later arc where we'll see Ran-chan leave the striped sheep ToT!
Thank you for the update! I hope you guys decide to finish scanlating this all the way, I've been held in suspense for what feels like a few years now. (oh oof, I looked up when this series has last updated and it has been more than 2 years ago lol) Thank you again for updating! This manga's main plot point I think is really interesting, I enjoy Shio and I want to know more about why Gai's brother left and what he's doing now.
