Infinite Dendrogram - Volume 5 - Chapter Ep4

Midword 
 
Cat: “Greetings, dear readers, I’m the Cat you all know well by now, Cheshiiire.” 
Xun: “I’m Xun, for XunYu.” 
Bear: “And I’m the one and only Bear... the King of Destruction, Shu Starling!” 
Cat: “We knew, and so did the sharper readers. Maybe even since volume 1.” 
Bear: “You’re cold! I’ve been prebearing for this for five volumes!” 
Cat: “That aside, this concludes the Franklin arc and ends the first part of Infinite Dendrogram as a whole.” 
Bear: “What a good finale.” 
Cat: “Hey! The part is done, but the product is still going on! Don’t jinx it!” 
Xun: “But the lAst scene was somEwhat like the last chApter of a manga. Honestly, it woUld work pretty well if it just endED here.” 
Cat: “Stop! Nothing’s ending! We’re still going on!” 
Bear: “Anyway, jokes aside, the beary presence of a midword means that there’s something more, right?” 

Cat: “Yes. There will now be two everyday life stories set after the Franklin arc.” 
Bear/Xun: “...” 
Cat: “You two look like you want to say something.” 
Bear: “Who puts everyday life stories after final scenes like the one we just had?” 
Xun: “...Wouldn’t tHE volume leave a bettEr impression if it ended hEre?” 
Cat: “Silence. Anyway, the latter of the two stories is completely new.” 
Bear: “...Did the author need to fill some pages?” 
Cat: “He tried to write something new into the main story, but he couldn’t think of anything besides expanding on The Earth and the DOA worm.” 
Xun: “Hey, don’t cAll it DOA. I had to be realLY careful with the bomb whEN killing that thiNg.” 
Bear: “He could’ve expanded on me and my ursine greatness.” 
Cat: “You’re saying you want more scenes?! I want some, too, you know?! I didn’t show up in volumes 4, 5, and won’t show up in the story that comes next, either! When’s my turn?!” 
Xun: This has been bOthering me for a while... Why is Cheshire so nAive when it comes to appEArance in the story? 
Bear: “Anyway, enough of the sad cat without any scenes. Please enjoy the stories that come next. Thank you beary much.” 
Cat: “Give me a turn!”
