Murasakino, why are you so amazing?!
What is this witchcraft?!

Also, did someone hurt you?

I appreciate this fast release! the 2nd half of this chapter agonized me. my only problem is why did the translator use "like" instead of "love"? 大好き could mean either one, but i feel like "love" was the word meant to be used in this chapter. even in chapter 19, instead of "don't ever say you like me again!!!!" just doesn't sound or hit right as "don't ever say you love me again!!!!" anyway, just my 2 cents.

I don't know why everyone still saying that Kisaki still has feelings for her step father. Have yall not read previous chapter or what? From the conversation between kisaki and eri (also fuyuki), it's clearly implied that she's already long moved on from her step dad.

i mean, we barely got to know kisaki's side of things. even that extra chapter that finally did show us a sliver of her past, it barely hinted that fuyuki was her next love. but her step father was consistenly mentioned as how her infatuation over him killed her desire to love, and always told us at face value that all she wants is fuyuki to be happy.

I think they would have made a good couple but they need a ton more chapters for it to blossom into anything. If they were to move past their feelings it would work out but it would need to be fleshed out (it'll take a lot of chapters).
Who knows how long the author plans to keep the story going so if it's short it won't work out as it would feel rushed and feelings would have to resolved in unsatisfying manner.
Though in the end it doesn't matter as Fuyuki and Eri seem to be endgame unless the author decides to bamboozle us all and not let them end up together.

yep, if the main characters were fuyu and kisaki from the beginning and focused more on her than eri, then yeah i can see them ending up together. but this story was always a fuyu + eri story.

I know this isn't the talk most were looking for (we'll have to wait a bit more for that) but in my opinion it's still a very important chapter since it shows a bit of Eri's pov.

Ps: her monologue from page 13 is actually her monologue from chapter 10.

ykw, i always believed that monologue in chapter 10 was actually like a voiceover of Eri from the future. it's cool that the author made a throwback to it now.
