Summary
You trailed behind in her shadow, feeling like an interloper, as she moved through the world with confidence and dignity. Your apprentice had molted all her feathers, shaking out bright and wonderful new plumage that you had no hand in nurturing. And what had you achieved besides maintaining your two-legged form?
[ Canon divergence from the end of chapter 43 onward. ]

Summary
Her wish was for freedom, wasn’t it, and can you be free if your home is still standing? Fendt Hope, the sprawling mass that shielded her from the burden of being alive. Azusa House, self-explanatory. Mikazuki Villa, a place of ghosts whose sole inhabitant now walks alone. Mifuyu might think wryly to herself, I am quite good at ruining homes, and the happiness of anyone inside them.

Summary
Mifuyu is not a witch, she must tell herself. She repeats it all the way to the station, all the way to her home. She repeats it as she removes her shoes, she repeats it as she scrubs the makeup from her face. Mifuyu is not a witch, she says. She continues to chant it as she draws the curtains, she repeats it like a prayer as she climbs into bed. Mifuyu is not a witch. Mifuyu is not a witch.

Summary
They want you on Olympus, they want you on a faraway star watching the planet turn benignly. They want the original Gods in the four corners of the earth, protectors in an invisible palace. "And the Witch sat vigil in her southern eastmost realm, looking down upon her descendants," they'd say, "and saw that it was good.
You do not have an Olympus. You have a house that smells like burnt toast, because Davepeta did just that only an hour ago.

Summary
Everyone already seems to have made up their mind about who Jake English is. God, notorious TV star, multimedia personality, proud owner of one of the largest techno-innovation companies on Earth C — And the world's finest ass. But despite his great rapport with the press, there's little to be said by the man himself. He's almost reached his eternal mid-twenties with nothing but faulty luck, a terrible track record on relationships, and a good dose of vodka under his belt.
Well, that is, until a bad trip brings about a manic nightmare milf from a dead universe.
