This hiatus had lasted about a month, I suppose. The main reason was the pandemic. A month ago, the outbreak flared up again, and pandemic-related work immediately multiplied severalfold. There was so much of it, and I was extremely busy. Even when I had a little spare time, I was too exhausted to want to do anything, and I hadn't fully thought through the plot either, so the break ended up lasting this long.
The pandemic had not yet receded, but I fortunately had a bit of rotating time off, so I was seizing the opportunity to resume production and updates. However, work arrangements changed by the moment and were difficult to predict, so all I could say was that I would probably start again tomorrow and keep updating for as long as I could.
I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused. I will do my best.
