jii-jii: Effie: “So far as I can recall, my sister’s were bigger than mine…”
jii-jii: Asuha: “Dad… you were just imagining that, weren’t you?”
saru: i was just imagining that.
saru: how could…
saru: effie’s are already as big as her head
saru: each.
saru: o_O

Wish me happy birthday, peasants. And read this chapter in my name.

For all you Mercelida fans out there… her “snacking” on Naoya won’t come for a while. Sorry. We will, however, see her again near the end of the volume.

In the meantime, here’s a tender story about Ini. Enjoy!

Edit by saru: Chapter 15 has been updated with an image size of 1740 pixels tall, which removes pretty much all visible moire in the halftones. This size will be used for the remaining chapters in this volume. We will use the more standard 1600 pixel height with volume 4, if the print quality is any better (but I wouldn’t count on it).

I need to admit that, in this chapter, the 17th page was what finally taught me exactly what “HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH” describes.

I think it’s too late for me to walk away without a fetish for girls with slit pupils.

Mercelida is disappointed at your manhood.

Edit by saru: Page 136 in this release is actually the last page from chapter 13, so if you’re archiving this stuff, put it with chapter 13, otherwise, don’t comment on how this chapter started and ended with the same page, because it didn’t.

You know, recently I realised that Naoya makes me look bad in comparison. At the same age as me, he’s “known” Mercelida, produced Asuha, raised to be an adorable, emotionally balanced girl, and is becoming surrogate father of Rotte. What have I done with my life thus far?

Ahem. Announcement. In the last couple pages of this chapter, I cried. Twice.

That said, here it is.
