While I may like Sorachi's writing more than Mitsuhashi's at this point, Mitsuhashi is a kinder master --after giving me a hard chapter in #19, he provided a merciful chapter in #20. I feel like a mutiny against a gorilla might be in the cards if he keeps this up.

Vol 20: SMELL OF SIGNAL FIRE
MITSUHASHI KAITO
002
(Side text- What goes on in the head of Rere, a woman who lost her beloved little sister and has given up on everything?)
003
(Sfx- Gooooooh *whoooooom*)
Rere: Haaah…
Almost makes me wanna laugh how close this thing is to the house.
(Sfx- Gacha *clack*)
Rere: And of course I doubt those two brats came back…
Ryoko: Ah! Welcome home!
Zen: Ooh, you took a while.
004
Ryoko: Would you like some clam soup Rere-san?
Zen: The broiled asparagus is pretty good too.
(TN- “Clam soup” and “Asparagus” are bolded.)
Rere: Why….
Are you still in this city?
Zen: Cause we haven’t returned these yet.
Here, you can take ‘em back. Sorry about that.
Rere: Ohhh? Aren’t we generous?
(Handwritten- More like, where is this coming from?)
Zen: Well, Ryoko said it’d be absolutely fine, so…
005
Rere: Then I won’t hold back.
Ryoko: Here you go, some clam soup!!
Rere: Well, here goes.
(Sfx- Zuzuuuh *siiiip*)
(Sfx- sowasowa *shfft*)
Rere: Huh? What is it?
Oh…yeah, it’s …good.
(Sfx- Paaaah *bluuuush*)
Ryoko: That’s great to hear! Then I’ll be sure to cook the abalone the same way!!
(Sfx- Pikuhh *poit*)
(Sfx- Goohh)
Rere: Y’know…
006
Rere: You really should have figured it out by now…
And stopped this nonsense.
Ryoko: I’ve already decided this is what I’m going to do…
So I won’t stop.
I will definitely…
See this through somehow.
(Sfx- Dokuhhh *throb*)
007
{It’s okay..}
{I will…}
{Definitely see that things get better.}
(Sfx- Gannn *thud*)
Rere: Don’t talk lightly…
About that shit, dammit!
008
Rere: You’re just a stupid little girl!
Even if you do your damned hardest in this world, not a thing changes!
There are things that you can’t do anything about!
What’s impossible remains impossible!
There will be times where the only choice you have is to give up!
No matter how strong you might be, there’s a hell you know nothing about that I have seen!
Your flimsy resolution makes my ears bleed, so don’t you dare…
Talk about that crap in my house!
009
Rere: Haah…hahh…don’t you ever…
Say that stuff in front of me again…
(Sfx- Gopoohhh *plloop*)
010
(Sfx- Pooohhh *fwhoooom*)
(Sfx- Shurururu *ssshhhh*)
(Sfx- Gaaahh *tkk*)
(Sfx- Gagagagaga *ddsshhhhh*)
(Sfx- Goohh *thokk*)
(Sfx- Nyootsuhh *ddtskk*)
011
(Sfx- Zuuooohh *fwhooom*)
Ryoko: I think what you’re saying is…
Most likely correct, Rere-san.
I’m not really the best at learning things…
But even if that’s what this world is like..
And even if I’m probably more stubborn than I should be..
I who am here now…
(Sfx- Dogooohhh *fhwooom*)
012
(Sfx- Kaaann *dshhh*)
013
(Sfx- kaaaah)
014
Ryoko: Want to cook some abalone.
Rere: Wha….
Ryoko: Besides, I don’t want the abalone to pass through here…
No, more like It cannot.
015
Rere: Why the hell are you still…
(Sfx- Ka kaah *takk*)
Ryoko: Because..
There’s a girl…
Who wants to sleep soundly here.
016
Rere: So you saw it..
Ryoko: Yes, and I get it more or less.
Rere-san, you had a little sister…
And this house is her final resting place.
No matter what happened to the city…how much of a vacant place it became…
You continued to protect this house.
017
Shell: Saaaaaaaaaaaan
Ryoko: That’s why I will hunt.
And when this is over..
We’ll have dinner together…a shell party for the three of us.
Zen: Awwwright, if we’ve finished deciding on it, this time around I’ll help out!
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzhhhh *sshhhhhhh*)
018
(Sfx- Ooooooooohhh)
Ryoko: The abalone has started to move again it seems.
Zen: Ahahaah…seems like we’re facing one hell of sales push, huh?
Ryoko: Yeah.
Let’s go!
(Side text- To cook Abalone for everyone to eat…the dinner table surrounds them, so now you must hunt!! Next issue, the abalone is up for order!!)
