Bokke-san 9

Single slash denotes connected bubbles, double slash denotes completely new bubbles. Equal signs ( =Like this= ) denote thoughts outside of word bubbles. Double arrows ( <<Like this>> ) denote thoughts inside thought bubbles. Let me know if there are any mistakes.

Open to anyone for scanlation purposes as long as proper credit is given.

If anyone cares, I changed one of Yoningumi's lines on page 17 in the previous chapter because I messed it up. No big deal, just trimming small mistakes.
