Your Destiny is Annulled, Ch. 38

[Cheb]

Question: Is Ahta only meant to be saying the first sentence?

Ugh. Corrected the missing quotes.

Of course, Ranma has a lot he knows he doesn't know, and maybe he has only seen really old firearms.

That, and he probably learned the little he knows about guns from a real gun nut.

I have received 16 Orphus corrections for Ch. 36 and 65 for Ch. 37, and 8 for previous chapters. Will apply these all tomorrow when I publish Ch. 38 officially.
Thank you for your C&C!

Hmm... I keep forgetting. When I deliberately go for broken English I have to do it ham-handed. Otherwise it gets confused with my own less than perfect English.

Oh, it's even dumber than that.
