Preface
Translation Notes:
Done in MS Word. The translation will only be of this volume in the series to test out writing some childish dialogue and because I’m a sucker for tearjerkers. I cleaned up some loose ends. The juxtaposition is quite notable throughout the volume. I hope all of it came out well enough.

Well, what do I want to say about this volume translation? It was a different experience because it was full of children and interacts between children. Most of the adult involvement was talking to children.

Preface
Translation Notes:
Done in MS Word. The translation will only be of this volume in the series to test out writing some childish dialogue and because I’m a sucker for tearjerkers. I cleaned up some loose ends. The juxtaposition is quite notable throughout the volume. I hope all of it came out well enough.
