Vagabond 243

Bit of a delay, apologies for that. I’m still working on the end of my semester here and doing some work. Vagabond will always be kept up with though.

This chapter is a special one shot to commemorate the release of volume 27.

As usual, this translation is for Strays' use, and Strays' use only. Everyone else, please do NOT use this to scanlate.
