Seems she didn't destroy the book.

Hooray, the book is safe at least

Thats cute.

Patchy has a blank stare in that last panel that seems to imply the building up of rage.

Finally, Koa did the right thing..hopefully, Patchy won't get mad...

Now I really hope things start to bet better between them.

Finally, so the book wasn't destroyed? That is good.

I guess Patchy will be really happy that her book was found, she will probably do nothing to Koa, her guilt is already enough for what she has done.

It'll be bad for Koa, because Patchy's going to be really grateful and probably hug her. And Koa is weak against affection...

Why would you people assume Koa destroyed the book? as far I remember all Koa has been doing to Patchy is simple trolling, she never did any harm aside of the mental one

@lolin86
Well, it seemed that Koa `borrowed' the book to Flandre.

after something like that i find it hard to believe that Patchy wouldn't go into a rage.

All the anguish and doubt she was going through made it seem that she couldn't just return the book. I guess the anguish was her struggling against her urge to be a troll.

And some say that Koa's heart grew one and a half sizes that day?

I am sickeningly relieved that the book is in one piece.

And I feel horrifyingly bad for how long Koa tortured herself about it if she never actually destroyed it, and for how long Patchy went through the despair :<

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Happy because Patchy's precius book is safe, or sad because that means we don't get to see Flandre?

Fear of punishment/retaliation can warp one's judgment quite badly, it seems.

In before Patchy glomptackles Koa and the book, joyfully exclaiming something along the lines of "Oh thank God you found it! Thank you thank you thank you! Where was it?" whilst Koa spontaneously combusts out of shame.

This was the easy part. Now you have to explain where the hell it was the whole time.

I think Patchy's going to be angry. But hopefully she realize that Koa had no evil intentions when she took it, and decides to forgive her with minimal punishment. After all, Koa does feel really bad about it.

Looking back on it, it might've been best if Koa had just lied and said she borrowed it out of personal interest back when she first found Patchouli crying in the library. Sure, Patchy would've been mad then too, but at least the emotional damage for both of them would've been minimalized.

Oh, and, I was joking earlier, but I guess she really did hide it under her skirt.

It's hugs&kisses time, right, Patchy?

...Right?

Are you serious? I tell you, it's the work of the devil.

I'm still sticking to reverse trolling by Patchi like I said last strip but for some reason last panel gives me the feeling Koa will be the cute emotional character from now on that does everything to keep Patchi happy.

Well, one can hope.

I was thinking it was a surprised look, to be followed by happiness.

Looking forward to the next strip.

Just saying. If Koa took it with evil intentions, then she wouldn't be nearly crying from the guilt right now.

She had evil intentions when she took it; crying Patchy just destroyed them.

Next one will be about Koa claiming that the book was lost in the chaos and patchouli should clean it up.

Because I was paid to steer suspicions into that alley and post a prediction several pages back with other goons.
That's what jongleurs do.
