@Mash
Thank you, Master.

?2:How's the Ortinax doing? Everything okay?
[charaFace C 13]
@Mash
Yes, everything's fine. Not to worry!
[k]
?!
@Mash
I managed to fend off the attackers without sustaining any injury, all thanks to your support, Senpai.
[k]
@Mash
The load on the Ortinax is well within its tolerance.[sr]...Da Vinci did an amazing job tuning it up.

I'm nice and warm, thanks to my fur coat. I knew I'd have to be ready for anything once I decided to go out on my own.

[charaFace B 2]
@Gerda
The grown-ups won't help 'cause they're busy getting everything ready for tomorrow, so I have to do it all myself.

That includes the cooking, and tending to the children who have come down with terrible fevers!
