Title: Ransen Days

Ransen
is always such a great city
Lots of shops.
Lots of cats.

Ahaha

Konoe: "A! Asato!!"
SFX : crackle crackle
Konoe: "That's bad! You shouldn't shave your nails at the dining hall!"
Bardo: "..."
Asato: "Sorry"
Bardo: "An idea for a new dish popped up just now!!"
Konoe: "Eh?"
Bardo: "Dried fish shavings. I call it CATOUVUSHI" (Note : It's a pun on KATSUOBUSHI, a popular Japanese food made of dried fish shavings).
SFX : crackle crackle
First day of the festival
Konoe: "A lot of people are dressed up as demons..."

Bardo: "That's 'cause demons are MOE characters for cats."
Konoe: "Mo-MOE?"
Bardo: "When there were still a lot of females"

Lamento ~Beyond the Void~ Comic Selection: Curtain Call
"Hello"
"I'm Gotou Hayako."
"After I played Lamento"
"I've alwaaaaaaays been thinking about Lamento (It's bad..)"
All the drawings I make everyday are of Lamento
"Konoe-tan, Konoe-tan, you're so cute!!"
(Computer) is on Lamento Autoplay
I cried at Konoe's strength that can sympathize with others even though he is suffering himself!
I love stories where you end up liking the main character!
