Wait, this was here all along? I was out here checking MD and other sites for proper English translation!
Thank you so much for the upload!! :)

I think it was actually bulk-uploaded here in the past week, with the chapters backdated. I'd read it recently on mdex.

Tsukino may reject the romantic advances, but she's a very loyal friend to put up with all the shenanigans.

I did do some likes, and bought a Kobo/Rakuten chapter I'm not sure how to obtain even if I could read it.

The mangaka has made statements recently stressing over fan translations and asking everyone to read on the official site.

I won't seek her out, but does she know that most of us cannot read Japanese?

Let's get down to business—to cheer up Mai-chan!

Why are you submissive, when you’re supposed to dom?

You're the sweetest girl I’ve ever met

But you can bet before we're through

Asumi, I'll make a top out of you!~

Slow clap.

Did not expect TTGL filk out of Asumi-chan...

Or maybe Yvonne played a game that reminded her of her friend.

On the one hand, Imperial Chinese governments could be horrible actually.

On the other hand, we have an almost "men not found" situation with a female general (why is the emperor even pretending to be male?) so "historical realism" has been strained a lot already.

Alternate reality

Damn. Not hiding from the implied torture. "Be sure to wash up."

Well, looks like Suuna is having fun!

But wait, wasn't Ruka supposed to do the touching?

Page 2? Second panel? https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/convenient_semi_friend_ch34#2

Author has blackmail photos of the editor.

If you've been following only the manga, with no attention to the original LN or the anime that surpassed the manga, then yeah, guess you'd get spoiled.

friends who flirt

Shou does belong under the sea [Umi]

wait

I'll be honest, I figured Evie would explain some things, but I didn't expect THIS much honesty. Just straight up "I'm an alien" shit lol.

It's traditional!

WataOshi and MagiRevo had isekai confessions too.

It would be insane if Shou's mom shows up one day, having been away due to divorce or something lol. What a plot twist!

"And I have custody, now. Pack your things, Shou."

I haven't missed the reveal of what happened to her mother, did I? Except that she's a mermaid of course, although now I feel like it's more likely she drowned or something :P

I don't recall a specific reveal, no. Missing narratively, but we don't know if divorced, disappeared, or known dead.

Chapter 4 brings it up. Baby Shou asks why she doesn't have a mom, dad says she was born from his butt. Later he says "she's a mermaid, that's why we can't live together. Right after you were born, she returned to the ocean."

So my best guess would be "died in/right after childbirth", but there's room for other stuff. I also wonder about Shou's grandparents...

I just read this, and liked it. Bit of a ride, but enjoyable, and the ending is fine. The comments are almost better, though.

Why would Ruki forgive Sacchi and even Remi? Well, it was presented as Sacchi discovering (via sex with Remi) that she could like having sex with girls, and then discovering that she actually did want to be with Ruki. If the cheating hadn't happened, they might have simply broken up. So, works out for Ruki.

Remi literally tried to use powdered drugs on people,

According to Maasa, it was wheat flour. (chapter 3) Remi was apparently hoping to lower their inhibitions by making them think they'd been drugged. Like the trope of characters acting drunk on grape juice or non-alcoholic wine.

Remi's kind of creepy but it was Asuna's rape of Meru's persecutor that really raised my eyebrows as a story element.

Poor Shou is going to disintegrate the first time Umi brings her home to a family event.

Social/sensory overload? Yeah.

Plus, big small-town family like that, with some really old members, I wonder how much homophobia would be uncovered. Not sure if the author plans to go there or not, beyond an early "gross!" from Ibu.

Thanks for the chapter!

Not much to comment on in this one. We learn some names of Umi's siblings: Kazu the older brother, Miho and Mijiki the young twins. Umi has a big family. I'm guessing black-hair woman and her curly onee are both sisters of Umi's mom, but could be dad's too.

Dismissing Amamatsu as a "country school" was interesting.

Shou's dad continues to be... I guess calling him "shitty" might be too far, given how low bad parenting can go. Messy and somewhat neglectful, I guess? Certainly a poor personality match for his daughter, which isn't his fault, but his behavior could be better.

Lol, true

Ch 23 out on mdex.

Just "cute" doesn't have the younger-to-older psedo-familial connotations.

The margins of the chapter say "volumes 2 and 3 will drop together".

Well, she didn't say what grew 3 cm.
