And here we go! Back to plot!
Man, the lack of brightly colored panels makes me really feel like this is going to be a more serious manga now... Well, I guess we all had to grow up someday, not just Alba.
Speaking of which, poor Ross. Alba is being considerate and wants him to take a break from the high tension and adventures, but Ross just isn't that kind of person. He can't bully Alba that much anymore either because he has really become a capable person. The dynamics of their relationship are changing, and who knows if Ross will be able to keep up! How sad, how sad, how happy, how tragic
...Sooooo this takes place before Senyuu+? And during it? And after it? Well, the Senyuu+ timeline was gag spaghetti, so I guess some things are just not going to happen.
