Story notes were planned to be included with this issue, but was bumped to because of the ad for the RPG. It will be printed in UY 87. I would post it here, but I lost the notes from my computer when it crashed in July.

The notes were about the gromwell bush. It is one of three plants in Japan that grow in the presence of gold. In fact, it absorbs gold through their root system and there are trace amounts in their leaves and fruit.

I thought so. When I first plotted out the story, I had the hunter finding a gold nugget in a mountain stream. In researching, I came across the gromwell, and it made for a better opening.

One of my favourite lines is by Noriko...

"Everyone loves you, don't they, Tomoe?"

The book came out?

When?

My shop, which is great for ordering anything I want, never received the issue?

What's up?

Must have Usagi!

My shop is not good about ordering Usagi either. I'm like one of three people who have it on their pull list. And they order zero for the rack. Bunch'a savages in this town...
