And chapter six.

Standard C&C Disclaimer:  All the below is my only occasionally useful
humble opinion, my only occasionally correct grammatical and spelling
corrections, and/or my only occasionally funny humor.

And yet, oddly, she's more sympathetic than Timothy so far.

Well, that explains last chapter's cliffhanger.

Heh.

Oh, since when has _that_ stopped Minako?

Hmm.

...I just can't see it.  I mean, I suppose it makes sense, but... ;)

...now I'm imaging the transformation sequence.

Hmm.  So there's a fairly limited number of youma in this universe, I
suppose, if Luna can recognize a random one on sight.

Ryoukai?

And another Senshi down.  Or up.  Or whatever.

Anyway, it's another good chapter, looking forward to the next, etc.,
