Isekai by Moonlight

"We're broke."

"We can't be," Ryou said. "We have millions of yen worth of stocks in the mutual fund."

Shario-chan held up a letter. "And we owe the government two-and-a-half million yen."

I think you need to recheck your numbers. Two-and-a-half million yen were at MOST twenty-five thousand US Dollars, more likely twenty thousand.

It's way too low an amount for a group with their resources to consider being bankrupt over. Ami's mom could probably get a loan for that amount in any bank no questions asked given her profession. Not to mention the wealth that the Outers have casually displayed, it's peanuts for the Kaiou family.

They aren't bankrupt - the passage mentions that it's ready cash that Shario-chan's worried about, not net wealth.

And if they take out a loan, somebody's going to ask why they need the money... They're trying to keep their IDs secret, despite them being known to the police already.

EDIT: And I did check my numbers. $25k is the maximum summary fine for ignoring ATC in Canada. (A court fine is much higher.) So the Americans are insisting on punishment even if they aren't throwing the book at Haruka in order to find out who she is behind the seifuku.

Lyrics of the day, May 5, 2021:

We finally get to see
That you and me were always meant to be
In another dimension
'Cause I still believe in a fantasy
That somewhere out there you're with me

Alex Porat, "dimension"

I just realized that I never really described the Unison Devices... so I asked ChatGPT to make an image of them for me.

Yeah, that works. EDIT: Except that the desk that they're hovering in front of has a somewhat funky leading edge. Oh, well... crop the image and nobody else will know.

Chapter 7 is currently at 103 kb. And not even halfway through the SuperS season, as far as I can tell from how heavily canon has been disrupted.

A teaser:

"Oni," Chibimoon asked quietly, "doesn't human law apply only to humans?"

"If that's the case," I replied, "then it doesn't protect Luna, Artemis, or Diana."

"Oh. That would be bad."
