@SquigglesJP I know I'm 4 months late but..
On page 22 I think the sister means "purrs" not "rolls". From what I could find the sfx used seems to be "ごろごろ" which if the site I used is right (see note 1 below) can mean both "purr" and "roll". In the context of the scene and the character I think "purr" is the English translation that makes the most sense. Granted maybe in Japanese they say that cats roll, but I've never heard it used in English before.figured I'd give my 2 cents. =)
Also fun fact, most big cats can't actually purr. They "chuff" instead which sounds very different. So if she is a leopard girl she technically shoulder purr either. XD
Note 1 - I used the following site to look up the SFX: http://japan-and-me.com/japanese-sfx/

@SquigglesJP Huh. I wonder if in the RAW the word the sister used could also mean roll/purr. Gotta love words with multiple meanings/applications based on context! XD Either way thanks again for your work on this. Never thought I would see the series after the 5-6 month or so gap before you and Shinsengumi picked it up.
Yea, apparently the kitties in the "Big Cats" family/category don't have the vocal cords/anatomy to purr like small cats do. I guess they can only do the purr sound on an exhale while the smaller cats, cougars included apparently, can do it continuously. Learned that a few years back when we went to a Zoo and the guide explained and showed it when they were talking with the panther there. Video of a Tiger chuffing here.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ksr0-H1gmI

Hi Saphire! xD Glad you enjoyed it~! yeah, I agree that words with multiple meanings is tough. JP can be VERY DETAILED or VERY VAGUE xD I feel like they're more vague than detail lol. Which is why I try to keep the element of surprise just like the RAW xD
For some reason... that Chuffing sounds cute too... xD
