@kaarme Aside from other cultural issues, there is a legitimate concern that JSDF is often one of the first responders to major natural disasters, which are pretty regular and damn serious in Japan.
@guildmasterjin she'd mentally hyped herself up for Japanese festival foods, forgetting this is a fantasy world inspired by Europe, and the reality never occurred to her until she was actually there.
@epidemic a Dragoon/Mounted Infantry style squadron make sense when they're armed with firearms.
Whatever nonsense this is, is the furthest possible thing imaginable from that style of fighting.
@heml8ck does she have any particular reason to be patriotic? She's not a prospective scholar-official who's been learning and memorizing literature praising loyalty to one's ruling dynasty, nor raised to be a military officer surrounded by fellow dynastic loyalists. It seems like Xia and Cha...

"Would you like to see the next chapter?"
"I can't wait."
I find it difficult to believe she's actually out of breath after a little running, given that she was a performer not so long ago.
Unless I'm just being obtuse and that is in fact the joke.
@abedeus Normally I'd be with you 100%...except that they're partners in a group project. The ulterior motives that make Nice Guy behavior so repulsive simply are not present here. Being frustrated that someone isn't communicating at all despite your best efforts, while hardly ideal, is a pretty...
