Thanks for the update! It's been a while. Now I'm excited for what happen next

 

[darekpawlo]

Nagisa must be confused af

 

[talas]

Wait, what did he do to the other girl's old self?

 

[TrapCard113]

@talas She was a stray cat that he fed and played with.

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Next chapter is going to be bonkers.

 

[urtoast]

Neko slap!

 

[DoctorJay]

@talas well she was a cat before she was reincarnated as human girl. Specifically she was his cat and it is said that she was abandoned.

 

[PinkSakuraFlower]

I wonder if the time she considered herself 'abandoned' inevitably died, was the day Hinata's incarnation (as the grandma) died? Also this is going to be hard to explain now

 

[talas]

Oh right, thanks!

 

[humbleoverlord]

Basically, Nagisa found a cat in a shrine but cannot adopt it because his grandma hate cat. The cat blame Nagisa for abandoning her. In a way, Hinata is responsible for the eventual dead of Sakuya.

 

[GodGinrai]

Oof, cliffhanger.

Also, IIRC the cat died because the MC's death caused so much turmoil that Nagisa couldn't spare time to take care of the cat.

 

[Stickerparty]

Haha just little kids slapping up adults.

@GodGinrai Sadao apparently had no other family than his grandmother, so when Hinata-chan died in her past life, he had to move away from her home to... somewhere else. He may have been moved out of the city at that point into a foster home, and only recently moved back. This means, unfortunately, that Hina-chan's death in her past life directly lead to Sakuya's death. I hope Sakuya doesn't make that realization and blame Hina-chan.

The official translations from Seven Seas have passed up the fan translations at this point. I found copies of them to try out, but only skimmed the volume past this one, as I much prefer the fan translations. (Hina-chan isn't Hina-chan without her dappes!) So I don't know exactly what happens here, but I did notice one thing that hints at how it goes. (It is a spoiler, so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled!):

Spoiler

Sakuya cuts her hair, as she has short hair in volume five. This suggests she gets over Nagisa/Sadao and loses her first love.

I hope she grows it back out, as she's a lot cuter with the long hair.

@Stickerparty Can you imagine just how insanely confused poor Sadao is at this point? He doesn't even know who Sakuya is, but she slaps him and starts crying.

 

[Ammutsito]

Tsundere, just like a real cat.

 

[MoonlightwolfchanX]

Aaaah what a place to end the chapter!

 

[GodGinrai]

@manabi Blaming her would be irrational. You can't help your death when it's a death from old age.

 

[manabi]

@GodGinrai Yeah, but cats and humans neither one are great at the whole rational thing.

 

[hina_sw]

Sadao getting slapped by a little girl.... boy must be soooo confused

 

[Choco-Bar]

Its neko punch (≧▽≦)
