@edram At midnight on December 31, Buddhist temples all over Japan ring their bells a total of 108 times (除夜の鐘 joyanokane) to symbolize the 108 human sins in Buddhist belief, and to get rid of the 108 worldly desires regarding sense and feeling in every Japanese citizen. (from wiki)
This chapter just completely makes me have to re-judge MC as a character also really opens up boat ending a lot more. Also kinda seeing where Yukari ( f-cup chan) got her dark vibes from.
