Been a little behind on my posting, I've still be writing, just bad about posting. Blame a lot of Type-0 and Bloodborne for that. Anyway, Chapter 323 up now. This is the continuation of the Fumiko and Haruo fight with the cliffhanger being quickly handled as Haruo is like always really tough.

Much of the fight is exploring how much Fumiko has changed since her fight with Glykeria. Thanks to her training, which she mentions, she has a lot more tricks up her sleeve. The control she has is actually important for her character, not just for her combat. It is part of her development and something that I will be getting to as I dig deeper into her character.

Despite Haruo being on the "good" side right now, the fight is more about Fumiko than him. A lot happened to her in the last two months and it had huge impacts on her being. So Haruo is very much a device to explore them. There is not as much to explore with him at the moment. He is a very slow burning sort of development rather than the rapid changes with Fumiko.

Enjoy!
