197: Chapter 1 Taking a Day Off

I worked too late today. To all my foster fathers, I'm using a leave of absence note today and will make it up with four chapters tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding, foster fathers.

May all you seek be granted, all your paths be smooth, and all you encounter be gentle. May the years treat you kindly, with peace and joy as constant companions, wealth and auspiciousness always following, and your days improving step by step, with success in all things and no worries.

Replying will double the luck. Also, I'm short on character names. Any foster father who wants a character can sign up and leave a name suffix; I'll handle the surnames myself. A foster father's character will definitely not be some AI-like NPC.

I shall take my leave now.
