Never realized if the parents both die the ranka would cease to live...that's one interesting and horrific detail there. Fuyumi Ono puts such thought into her world building, it's incredible. As always thanks for the translation!

Thank you so much translating this. I, too, had no idea that the ranka vitality is tied to the parents...I think I am beginning to understand the nuanced relationship between Taiki and Risai as well, and how it factors into his decisions here.

Chapter 21 should be ready next week.

Thank you so much for continuing to translate and share these stories!
