there are a few translation errors in this: page 2 “must be nice to be able to do that/you’re lucky that you can do that” rather than a simple observation, 犬 is いぬ “dogs”, it’s not part of the dog’s name 太; 違う is a negation “guess not”, rather than a value judgement, and keep track of the object of each sentence carefully lest you miss the punchlines, “once we’re both dry” on pages 2/4 and “were you listening to me?” rather than an abstract “did you hear that” which doesn’t point to anything.

I would suggest being much more careful keeping track of your subject sentences generally. there was the same issue in the previous chapter (ref. page 2, “i bet ponta won’t find out if I put it on him”, whereas your current translation says “it won’t know if i put it on ponta”. this isn’t the direction the particle points in Japanese and is also contextually nonsensical)

Ahh, alright! I really do apologize for the inconsistent translations; even I was really confused with it as it's not a dialect (Kansai-ben) I'm familiar with. Tl isn't my strongest suit, but I'll do my best!
Thank you for comment! These really do help!! 💕
