>>60177513I still haven't decided if Shuba will hail from that land, or if I want her somewhere else, but Ayame is definitely going to be kinda an unofficial adoption kinda thing. Ayame will have or had oni parents, but for the reasons I'll flesh out later, she is primarily in Mio's care and thinks of her as a mother. If I decided to do the same with Subaru, it would likely be a different situation, since a human in those lands will be a little more rare / not a great situation for her.
>Ayame calls anon dad by the end of the arcOh yeah, it's all coming together.
