Oh, visiting family can take a real chunk of time. Having no writing time can be stressing but do please try to enjoy your vacations ^^

I wonder if Kari's reaction towards Abby's little adventure has a deeper meaning, like if she had some encounter with alcohol in her past in some way. In any case, is nice to see how much close they're now. Maybe their little chat has some influence in Abby's future choices?

The poison part was a bit sad but that just shows how much Abby's mentality has changed since the start of all this, and it was a kind gesture of Eve to take away the page, even if she had acted out of her own hatred and not really to protect her, not completely sure which for now. "Bathed in someone spit" is an interesting way to put it, I didn't really think about it before hehe.

I feel like there's some kind of clue in Brook's initial behaviour but I'm not totally catching it. Anyway is nice to see her again, her way of teasing Eve is really fun. Really builds up excitement for what might come next.

Somehow I felt Eve was cuter in this chapter, is really adorable how she made preparation to have a date with Abby!! The way she silenced the little teenager was also charming. By the way, I wonder if she makes the dresses herself or get some familiar to do it or something, Eve trying to sew a miniture dress seems like a cute picture.

This time I found the chapter at a good time and could read it earlier than usual :D

I guess Abby know has a better idea of why Eve was dealing with Poppy the way she was. Congrats to her for not losing it, should've taken a lot of will power. The way the teenager and the oni interact was quite fun, I really hope to see more of these two. Poppy's reaction when Abby ended up naked was great. And it seems Abby is getting to enjoy more her new size, interesting.

Poppy's past... The change in the oni's behaviour, how she interrupted herself to drink, it built a really fitting mood for her tragic memories. About the past itself, I suppose we will never get to know what happened there exactly. I would like to think is all a misunderstanding but I guess that would be too much wishful thinking, that betrayal and to a girl that young... Poppy's tears and the way she asked Abby for answers hit me a bit hard.

Abby's mind keeps exapanding as she get more info of the world she lives in. It'll be interesting to see the final result all this lead her to and what she'll choose to do with her life later on. Also, I hope she won't blame herself too much for what other humans did...

Abby trying to hug Poppy is way too cute.

Aaaand Ebon out of nowhere. That I didn't expect, and it seems she wasn't ready to see Abby either. Why are Onis just B class again? I suppose Ebon is a lot weakened after her fight with Eve but the "Not even she hit me as hard part" makes me think that maybe Poppy could have dealt with Ebon that time. Though, Eve did mention in that fight that the dragon was weaker than before, I suppose it might be because of that.

And now that we've seen more of Poppy... I really like her! A lot more than I expected! Always looking for fun stuff and ways of entertainment is something I agree a lot with. Her personality is also really pleasant, she's just awesome and funny! The serenity she showed while telling her past and then crying in the end got a couple of tears out of me and makes me hope for a better future for her. She was badass while fighting with Ebon! The loyalty she shows towards her new friend is also admirable. Lastly, the fact that she's covering Abby in salty fluids might or might not be and extra bonus for me. About that last bit, I also found really fun the way Abby kept falling and slipping.

I guess the next chapter will be the "drinking party"?

See ya.

Awesome! So we finally get to see Poppy! I'm not surprise she's an alcoholic. - _- Oni's are famous for their liquor afterall. 

Yes! The return of Em and Ella! I love how quickly Abby excepted her role as "Little Big Sis" so quickly. She's really getting use to the girls. The scene when her and Casey got it going on was what really got me laughing. Kari being able to manipulate time makes me think a witch might actually have the potentail to be rank an A-class hominal but I could be wrong. So I guess Casey is starting to develop a crush on Abby, makes me think there might be a scene very later on in the story when Abby will choose who she wants to be her plus one ;) Excellent work as always!

The argument between Casey and Eve was hilarious! I could see their personalities clashing. What shocked me was when Eve broke her sophisticated dialect when she said, " Don't piss me off, kid." To Casey. Cant wait to see Abby interact with the other girls in the cave! Awesome job again you two! P.S. I copy/pasted this review in case it gets deleted by accident again. ;)

Hey, really nice chapter, some new info but a lot more new doubts and expectation.

Eve again shows hew feelings for Abby, being mad with her at the start of the chapter and with Casey later on. Should've been really painful for her the whole incident with Ebon, specially not making it in time. Also, more focus on her being dead than before. I was thinking that maybe that's the way vampires appear? Rather than reproducing among them, transforming recently dead hominals or something like that. I'm eager to know about her past though it doesn't seem to be coming any time soon.

The whole discussion with Casey was fun, you two did a great job with that. I guess that shows that the dullahan has her own ways in which she excels. The whole "lovelorn" part should've hurt though

And well, even after what she did I still feel pretty bad for Ebon. The mention of her bringing back herbs each time, even if she didn't know if they helped, hurt me a bit. Her reasons for what she tried to do to Abby is something I'm really interested in.

Damn, Kari seems special. Kind of har to believe her problem after seeing the other girls being so open about getting energy. Also, I wonder how a shadow feels... Anyway, Casey holding Abby (L).

The whole feral thing sounds really dangerous. As Abby said, if they were to go on rampage it would be quite hard to protect the shrunken teenager from the, and Ebon. I did thought for a bit about her being used to feed the other but was unsure if taking so much energy from her would be fine or have any bad implications for her. But if Eve had the same idea then it should be fine I guess. Sounds a bit hard to think the she could be able to give energy to all of the girls but I suppose is more of an issue of efficency? Abby having a special "fuel" that she can't use but works wonders on the other girls, while stuff like food works better on hers. By the way, she wasn't mentioned but I suppose they're also hunting food for her? Though it shouldn't be much effort to feed someone the size of a doll. Also, I didn't think as far as befriending the other girls. I suppose they would fight for against Ebon for their source of nourishment but I wonder if they can make Abby see like more than that to them. Hopefully...

Eve brings more foreshadowing with the reasons that Najia's recovery is direr now and there being someone that hates humans more than Ebon. I guess that should be the hardest one around to deal with. I'm really curious to know who could it be.

And well, with that kiss I guess Eve is taking the lead in the race for Abby. I find Casery specially adorable but also like ve a lot. Wathever the result is between the three of them I hope they end up on a good note. I guess polygamy ain't an option with those two hominals involved? lol.

I'm really looking forward to see how this goes. This seems to be the start of the introduction of some other girls and getting to know them more and I'm really hyped about it.

See ya.

Hey, it's been a while! This has been a rough week os I'm glad to read a new chapter to comfort a bit. I actually read it yesterday but didn't have enough time to write a review, so here's it now.

I really like Brook carefree attitude and her lack of recpecto to personal space, she's a fun character and seems to have brought relief to Abby in more ways than one. The human's allies are increasing and thins bring more acceptance of the situation to the teenager. She deserved a break after all that happened. I wonder which girls know about her, since she mentioned not meeting Kari before. Though since she does the cooking maybe the other do know about her?

Abby suviving the fire is still a mystery and I suppose it'll stay like that for a bit more. If I had to throw a wild guess, maybe it has to do with the fire she experienced as a kid or something but in general I'm out of clues.

Goomies was a nice surprise. She seems really cute. For a minuto I though that maybe Abby was going to be happy of meeting someone around her size... The I was scared while wondering whether slimes would set down for energy or also wanted something more material... But hey, everything ended up being fine so is okay. I guess... At least Abby doesn't seem to really blame Goomie, this ir really a change compared to the start of the story. Also, the slime girl does work as a proof for Eve's kindness.

Brook does has an interesting way for "catering". I was confused as to where this was leading when she mentioned cold water but it seems the result was delectable for Abby. I wonder if Eve knows about this, doesn't seem to be the case.

And now Eve is back. The chemistry she's developing with Abby is quite fun. I'm unsure as who stuttered "she's not my mate" and who yelled. Maybe Abby was the first one? Anyway Brook does seem to know how to tease the vampire, that's a new one. Also, by the mermaid's reaction I suppose the energy she got from Abby is way less than what Eve gave her? If so, is impressive she could collect that much. How she did is another question that remains.

See ya.

I wrote a long heartfelt review before and the because I'm using my phone for the time being, so how it got deleted before I could even submit it. Anyways, enough of my woe-is-me crap. I see Eve isn't as could as I thought but it's still hard for me to determine her motives but that's what makes her such a interesting character. I like how Abby called her out on how she was apparently gonna kill Ebon, too. Abby is really starting to grow on me. (Wish she could literally grow on me haha!) Poor Brooke. Her past reminded me a bit of a scene from One Piece. The auction part thag is. Her argument with Abby was pretty silly lol. As always your chapters are amazing! :D P.S. I wished Frachise happy bday and didnt know how it got out that I knew! >:3

I dont even know if Ebon could be redeemable at this point. Obviously we could tell she's had an horrible experience with humans but the least she could have done was tell the girls to take Abby out of the cave. (Even though that would have still been bad.) After all, Abby was helping Naija. I couldnt even care to look at her caring side towards Ivy after that. I also owe Casey an apology lol. She might be hot headed and foulmouthed but she really is a sensitive person on the inside. I figured that out when Ebon mentioned she was a crying mess when Naija first took her in and man did Casey put up a fight! Eve appearance was more like one of an anti-heroine who was really protecting Abby for her own personal gains. I dont really trust her but thank goodness she came when she did. You and Franchise are doing excellent work here. I'm always looking for an update, it really is an amazing read. Oh and about the girl thing, I was only referring to KentaRyu because I saw he/she mentioned they fangirled in one of their reviews. Sorry for the misunderstanding lol.

Author's Response: Ahh that cleared it up a bit lol. Was a little confused there XD Ebon is an unusual case so I wouldn't condemn her until you know her tale. If they let a human leave knowing where they were she could go and get others to get rid of them. All sides should be considered, not just the ones you currently know about. :P I'm glad Caseys grown on you. I'm hoping all my characters will with time. As for Eve, expect her agenda to be known shortly. That's all I'll say for that. Thank you for the review Nothingness, you know how much they cheer me up. :D

Pretty well done chapter, the action didn't stop and was easy to follow.

Still, there're quite some things to think about...

It was hurtful to see the girls trying her best to keep Ebon away from Abby and just failing, I guess that goes for showing the strenght between an A class and the others... Again, poor Nya... And poor everyone actually. They must feel devastated now, full of frustration.

We see some two sides of Ebon here, the one worried about Ivy and the one that hates humans. I guess she isn't as cold-hearted as she seemed at the start but I wonder how much of affection she feels for the other girls there... Or felt... It pained me a bit her last phrase before disappearing. I'm still unsure if is because of it meaning she doesn't want to have any relationship with the other girls or because of the state I pictured she had there, maybe a combination of both.

Some hints of Kari's past. I can't think much about what could it be, other than a human father (biological or not) bringing doom to her family.

And for Eve... Is hard to say. I guess that's why Casey and Kari were freaking out before, it shows the part of her personality they were talking about. I don't really think she was acting before with Abby though, I mean the parts in which she was "caught off guard" seemed natural but I guess is a possibility... Still, I think there're some points that prove that she isn't as bad they think, other than her love for Abby. I think the fact that she keeps the imps around is one for example, she doesn't seem to be inhumane, not knowing a better word, with them. And also the way she reasoned with Kari at the end and didin't just steal Abby from here. Though it could be argues there that it would be the method less dangerous to retrieve Abby. Anyway, I guess there'll be more of her soon.

As for the teenager herself, how she survived the fire is one thing to know, the other is why she asked Eve to spare Ebon. Is because of what Eve did to her? She didn't seem to fully agree with that so if that were the case maybe Eve didn't add specifical things to her.

Great chapter.

See ya.
