Soo... there is no penal unit only a graveyard. Am I right?

IT'S MOTHERFUCKIN' BOSS TIME

I get the feeling from Iizunamaru's monologuing at Tsukasa that Tsukasa pretends to be ignorant not to annoy Iizunamaru, but to give Iizunamaru someone to brag at by describing exactly how she's a genius. (If a karasu tengu needs only one thing, it's an opportunity to puff up their own self-importance.) It reminds me of that one fan comic from many moons ago where it's revealed that Komachi slacks off so much because she's long since noticed that the resulting lecture from Eiki is far and away Eiki's greatest source of relief from the impossible stress of her job.

Well then, let's overthrow the government.

I think I've heard that "bones of a dead horse" idiom before, but I never really get it. Thanks for the explanation, though I'm still not sure how buying a dead horse for a lot of gold can get you three good horses.

edit: It seems like the king already know that a good horse is very valuable, that's why he gave that much money in the first place. If other people don't think horses are worth that much, they would definitely think that it does after the king gets his good horse (at least if they want to gift or sell to the king).

And, like the last page said, it would make more sense to think that the king really like dead horse's bones rather than living fine horses.

Lmao sorry for going about that too long. The explanation's good, I just have a lot of issue with the idiom even if it's pretty meaningful.

Yeah, I also thought that it's a pretty weird idiom from a weird story. But that's what happens with 2300-year-old books sometimes, I guess.

So the white wolf kid is dead right?
I'm guessing this is gonna lead up to some kind of white wolf rebellion.
