Completely rushed feeling , this chapter . From Azami happening to be there for Erina to make her futile request , thus allowing Soma to casually segue into his absurd challenge even though he would have never been so aggressive as to go up to Azami on his own , then Saiba showing up at the same time . I ' m glad they ' re finding a way to skip ahead though . This arc is awful in my opinion , it strains the narrative terribly . <| sep |> Spoken like someone with little to no knowledge of the world . Just being an average citizen in America puts you in the top 4 % of the world financially and in terms of safetyhappiness . <| sep |> Maybe I can be the factor that makes someone else ' s day a good day . Sliver of a silver lining I guess ?
