Lushaka knows the REAL shortcut.
 

There was a deleted scene here. Hana wanted to check out this cool “port,” too, but Danbi wouldn’t let her. She would have thrown quite a fit if Ethan hadn’t stepped in and talked her out of it. (He can be diplomatic in unexpected situations, huh?)

This took up way too many panels without really being relevant, so I took it out. It’s still canon in my head, though. :3

Note that cheese is not a part of traditional Korean cuisine! Cow’s milk was an ingredient for some novelty dishes for the royal table, but most people spent their lives never knowing what milk (or cheese) tasted like.
 

Remember the stuff he was drinking around Adela? Here and again here.
 

Finally, the next dot on the map!

This hive is significantly bigger than the previous one. The honeycomb pattern with the vines is created and maintained by the resident suyoris. (Remember, “suyori” really means “female bee.”)

(This is update 1 of 2. There’s one more new strip posted this week, so click that Next!)

Lushaka knows more than Danbi does here.

That wraps up the chapter as well as the mini-arc. The next mini-arc’s got some… surprises for both the characters and the readers. I can’t wait to reveal them all!

PS. In the previous strip, how do you think Danbi got out of the inn room, with Ethan sleeping right in front of the door? ;D

Note that Ethan doesn’t actually know the Korean word for sunflower. He figured out Lushaka must be talking about his hair, though. :)
 

That note on the table…
 

“He came home, but…”

…things aren’t looking so happy.
