New Demonly Kings mission by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2023-09-25 10:54:16 UTC Writing Reply

Urato and Inasuke take one more gentleman lesson in a TouRabu badfic with an unexpected teacher. This is the penultimate episode of the Pennacook Club Membership arc, so stay tuned for the wrap-up.

And with this, the Pennacook Club Membership arc is over! 🎊🎉

Yes, good, I like this verbal beatdown! I agree with everything Kaguya said, especially in Inasuke’s case. It was well deserved! The hug was a surprise to me, as well, but I guess Kaguya is just the type to want to smooth things over more than break them. Hopefully the boys can be less competitive with Kaguya from now on . . .

My prediction about how this story arc was going to end was very wrong. I totally assumed Momoka was going to wind up accepted into the club, purely because she was the only one not feeling unhealthy pressure to conform to its standards. But then again, why would she want to join? Kaguya wouldn’t be there! : )

In the line:
Isn't that not humiliating enough?
“Isn’t” contains the word “not” inside, so you’ve got a double negative. Either “Is that not humiliating enough?” or “Isn't that humiliating enough?” are both correct.

ETA: New agent images! by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2023-09-27 15:49:48 UTC Reply

Immediately upon remembering that recolor.me actually has Shinsengumi uniforms (le shock), I went to create three new avatars for the agents appearing in this mission.

Overall great mission, I liked the conflict between agents. And I definitely can see myself featuring Spam in the future.

it seems funny enough to warrant one.

Ah, we’re coming up on the end, and Kaguya finally learns what’s been going on! Having the other two ask him to teach them without telling him why is pretty funny, and also probably the reason for him slapping them at the end? I mean, if I were Kaguya, I would have slapped Inasuke anyway, because his accusations that Kaguya is mistreating Momoka must be pretty grating by now. And I appreciate Urato pointing out that Kaguya’s anger mode contradicts his supposed gentlemanly nature, because that is a pretty glaring point of hypocrisy on his part!

I was amused by the details that Urato writes in his own phonetic accent—it feels like just the right level of carelessness for him—and seeing Urato and Inasuke mess with Kaguya’s appearance while he couldn’t stop them in anger mode. (Did Inasuke have to mess with the glasses, though? That’s a low blow!) But most especially, I love the Spam! It feels like a very PPC foodstuff, and a perfect counterpart to flames!

Thanks, re: Urato's accent by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2023-09-26 14:08:29 UTC Edited Reply

He speaks in an Osaka accent, and the "phonetic" writing is meant to reflect that. Don't ask why Inasuke doesn't speak it despite being from Osaka too 😂
