Fred posted the new comic to his Patreon. He'll post it to the main site and elsewhere tomorrow.

Gotta love how Kimiko's all "OK, let''s do this."

I was a bit surprised that Piro doesn't become flustered at "This one looks like fun." He just agrees with her. :D

"The Foxhole". Lol. I assume the clan of cousins she's talking about are foxgirls.

I like the one room with the hanging cage. Fred said on teh Twitch chat that it was a Time Bandits thing.

The last panel is the important one here though. Well Piro, ARE you and Kimiko dating? What about Miho?

I suspect that this wouldn't be the first time that Megu and Kimi ....umm.... shared. She didn't bother asking Kimi just Piro

Well, you know Kimi's motto as well as I do. "I'll do anyone twice! I mean... anyTHING! Yeah, that's it. AnyTHING."

I just realized she told her grandma "The room I just picked" without batting an eye. Like she's needing the rooms regularly.

Piro has a little more going on too. "Oh! Yeah! It ... does..." :D

And oh yeah, this strip is freaking amazing. Megu is becoming as awesome a character as Mugi or Ninja Girl

is it sad that I'm kinda curious to know which room Kimiko picked?

No! We ALL need to know what she picked!

Love those immediate bedroom eyes Megumi.

Kimi still in the mood I see.

Piro looks shellshocked, whether by the scene at the hospital and on, or Kimiko’s manifested claim in the back of the van. It’ll be interesting to see how he answers that final question, or if Kimiko intervenes on that point. Feels like it is a key question, just asked casually, in passing.

Will Pro commit?

Remember, Piro rushed through the hospital to see if Miho was okay but instead found Kimi portraying Miho. I'd say shellshocked might cover it though so far he's rolled with the flow

Piro, the truthful answer is: "It's complicated."

The correct answer depends on what you want.

Well, she does know which of them would be easy to tease! :D

Looks like Piro grabbed Megumi's arm there; I can see why she, after all she's been through(Piro and Kimi aren't the only ones shellshocked, after all) to release her frustrations by teasing Piro.

Kimi seems almost blissful; wonder what kind of "fun" she has in mind? :oops:

I like Piro’s linguistic development throughout this one, ending with "Uhb-! Ab-ab-er-!"

Not sure what language that’s supposed to be, though.
Quite sure it’s not Japanese — though the text does come enclosed within translation brackets…

=)

Thanks, Fred! =D

If there was a fantasy multi-player role-playing room... perhaps the "End Games" room?... That might appeal to them both. Certainly would fit The Story.

Dusty-Knight Piro looks to be courteous enough to want to thank Megumi, who is their rescuer, ride, & guide. He probably would even have offered her first chance at the room's shower. Megumi reminds him that the situation is not going to escape the iron-fenced path of The Story. In a love-hotel, Companionship, shelter, or showers are all expected to go towards one direction.

Kimiko: How much is this actress a 'free-agent' in her actions and choices during this escape? Is she a 'method-actress' playing Miho as her role? Is she sleep-walking agent of Miho's new Story? Is she playing out her own desires? Is she mischievously 'booping' Fredrin's brain? ("Inquiring fan-minds wish to know!")

I just hope this isn't the room Kimiko had to drag Erika out of a few years back.

Cute.

Like how he says "Oh! Yeah! It ... does." Although that look on his face in panel 6 lol

Well she does say that room I just picked, whatever it was Kimiko took and Piro agreed with. A room was picked, doesn't matter by who, Megumi asks it gets comped. Seems normal boring rather the usual for her, no big deal being here in a family business she's clearly very familiar with which is quite logical as well. Neither is it a big deal that these two are dating, in the info that's been going around, even if it doesn't exactly fit so far what actual dating might be or look like to some.

The situation is really another perception thing, nobody cares except perhaps Piro to some extent, but after the escape in the car, he seems to have started to act more like a normal person even if not quite as uncaring as his girlfriend or her friend/their hostess. But all in all, what we're getting from Megumi is about what we've gotten from Komugiko. Or even like most of the people here in MT that aren't Largo and Piro, although they seem to be caught up or nearly so. More background on how things are changing in the ways by which everyone thinks about this and that. Does this change reflect upon other matters that might be related? Time will tell.

He's still about 15.4% dense, of course Megumi teases him. There's a fun-looking room, she told them she was going to leave them alone, and she starts to leave, it should be over. Yet he's still trying to thank her or make excuses or apologize. What she says gives the impression she knows something is still off, she's been paying attention, but the way she says it should more than demonstrate she doesn't think anything is a big deal or care about it. Perhaps her next expected reaction is to turn again and walk away as she was doing, and he thanks her as she goes etc and the story continues on.

What that story is past the details of the now, that's another thing entirely, and wondering seems unimportant and belonging elsewhere. Let it all stay in the abyss where it belongs for at least the time being.
