Thanks for reading. Next chapter sometime this week. Special thanks to everyone pointing out typos and mistakes.

For those who read chapter 6 before today, we added a footnote regarding Hanakawa's speech: He talks like a samurai, ending his sentences in degozaru and using 拙者 (sessha) for I, "my unworthy self." The dono and s.h.i.+ honorifics are results of that same manner of speaking; dono has a respectful/revering nuance and s.h.i.+ a more distanced but still respectful nuance. Of course, in Hanakawa's case it's for the sake of being tacky.
