Original Post on DE:

I started this tale when I read Second Contact by Oboebandgeek99. It was also around this time that I started to really understand the theme of the Church of the Second Hytoth. It took me more than a year to finish the story, but I got a taste for writing weird slice-of-life stories in the meantime. :D

I hope you guys like this one. ^^

Note One: The title is a reference to the manga Monsutā Musume no Iru Nichijō, which translates as Everyday Life with Monster Girls. I know I'm not supposed to be proud of it but, sorry, I am.
I don't know how far this is a problem with CC, so I'll mention it.

Note Two: The saleswoman is a reference to one of my characters. Since the tag for this GOI, to which the woman belongs, does not exist on EN, here is a spoiler as to who it is: she is probably, but not definitely, Ms Mirabilis from the Wunderkabinett or an iteration of her. But I would actually like to leave it open.

Very fable-like with the right touches of modernity. More people would probably read this if you used more traditional spacing but I personally like it the way it is.

Thank you, the fact that you find it fable-like is high praise for me, as I wanted to achieve this tone. I don't quite understand the spacing part. But I am quite open to hearing your suggestion.

I only meant that more ‘traditional’ paragraph spacing is something closer to convention, but by no means did I encourage you to pursue that lol space it where you feel is right. There is no right or wrong way.

I think I understand what you mean. But I think here I can consider it artistic freedom, even though I see what you mean.
On top of that, my mother tongue is German, so maybe there is a little cultural difference involved. But this should not be an excuse not to think about whether I can make changes in the translation to adapt it to the audience.

Exactly! When it comes to the integrity of art, the audience should adapt themselves to the work and not vice-versa.
