Credits + A Small Message

I would like to give a HUGE thanks to my fellow translators, Jes and Niri, for working alongside me! This is my first time translating a feature event, and wow... It sure was long LGKJDJGGD... A lot of crashouts and tears... Oh drunk Yodaka was brutal by the way, thank you Nirisama for taking on the role of translating his part in the Izakaya arc.

Jes also created the graphic for this event, and Niri hand-wrote the content in Netaro's observation journal! INSANE IM IN TEARS TY BOTH SM

And also BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG thanks to our proofreaders, Xii and Aca! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU GUYS!!!

Thank you all for your dedication and time to work on this with me!!!!!!

All the references from Main Story Season 1 were taken from Koi's TL site to stay consistent with the lore! -> https://yukikaze.love/tl

Thank you for reading! It took us almost 2 months to finish it, but it's finally done!!!

Netaro's character development throughout these two years was so beautifully highlighted in this feature event. I cried soooo many times while reading it, and every time I went through track 12 specifically, I would crash out LMAO THE FLASHBACKS WERE BRUTAL HOLYYYY anyways. His story and character really resonated with me from the very start, so seeing the result of his learning being all put out here got me really emotional (that scene where he was in the fire realizing how he didn't continue what he was gonna say to the girl's mom...) His growth was shown really quietly after the main story, but you could see it happening through all the little details in his cards, events, and novels. Seeing all the references and flashbacks (wow kung foo man is loved i cried) made me sooooooo happy.

Since this is also officially the last feature event before the KOBE arc (looks at Suisei), it's the closing page for season 1. I'm excited to see Suisei again and watch how things play out (IF SUISEI FINDS OUT NETARO IS UMMM "BAD KID," BUT HE'S NOT BRO SPARE THAT LITTLE GUY). 18trip's writing for feature events has been insane from the very start, and they didn't disappoint with this one either! I'll keep this event and their duo song close to my heart THIS EVENT WAS SO PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR READING, AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE STORY AS MUCH AS WE DID!!!
