There will be no break; Chapter 173 is set to be released on the planned date as mentioned above.

2. Summary of Chapter 171

This chapter dives straight into the pandemonium ignited by the pygmies. An enraged Aira finds her hair ignited by their antics. Momo urges Aira to untangle her hair before the flames spread further.

In a swift move, Okarun cuts away the burning strands. Given the flammable materials in the environment, Momo takes charge of extinguishing the fire at hand.

Momo warns Okarun about the overwhelming presence of hundreds of pygmies in the space, with several clinging onto him. Okarun instructs Momo to move away as he removes his shirt to shake off the relentless pygmies. However, they retaliate by weaving his shirt, pants, and Aira’s blazer onto the floor, immobilizing them.

Realizing the attackers might be manipulated from the shadows, Momo deduces the need to confront the source. She instructs her companions to divert the pygmies so she can make her move.

While unsure about how her strategy will unfold, Okarun shows remarkable agility as he dodges a barrage of knives that Momo warns him of, leaving both her and Aira stunned by his reflexes.

At that moment, Momo confidently announces she has pinpointed the instigator, evident by the pygmies hesitating in their attacks. She employs her skills to fling a desk at Kouki Yuki, who is exposed as cloaked in camouflage.
