A day late, but chapter 14 is here! The weekend was a little rough on time, so I didn't get this finished until late into Sunday. So I left it for today to post. This is the Chie focused chapter, as I said I would start working on the harem character. Chie has been in the background a lot since she was introduced first. So I wanted to get to her early.

Despite being a Chie chapter, I do take some time to get to her. Mitsuru has plenty of interruptions along the way to her. Aiko is another one that has been long ignored due to a number of factors. Though I sort of feel like ignored is a relative term since it feels longer than the reality as I've not been writing on these in a reliable fashion until now. But Aiko is a lot of fun, though a little hard to write for at times. I always have to come up with new lies. The plus side is that her character never uses the same the lie twice and always contradicts her other lies. So I don't really need to worry about them lining up

Ignoring the brief cameo by Akira, this was the first time I really got to dig in with Chie. There is actually more going in the chapter than I let on since it does require more context before I can point it out. And it's not something that Chie really is going to admit herself. But it is a good serious and meaningful chapter for Chie. Mitsuru is largely pointless in the chapter, he doesn't even get to be the one to play cheer up as his role should be. But Chie is a more mature character being an adult, so the way they will interact will be a little different. Doesn't stop Mitsuru from working his role as the harem master though and getting Chie a little closer.

Enjoy!
