Yaegaki Erika is back safe! Chidori's anger!

It is a relief that Erika is back safe and sound after her day at the hospital. Honestly, I felt quite annoyed with Suou in the aftermath of the event. While Erika was still in the hospital and her condition was unknown, Suou kept hiding the identity of the attackers to protect Nerine and Yatsushiro. This caused even more grief among the other students, especially Takasaki Chidori, who was absolutely enraged and ready to fight everyone, including Suou. Suou has a habit of simply stopping mid-conversation at times. While it might look cute to us as the audience, it must be incredibly irritating for the people standing right in front of her.

Ichigo and Ringo acted as mediators to calm the group, which was necessary since even Rikka was starting to get agitated. I was worried the situation would explode into a real fight at any moment. Chidori and Erika are my favorite couple in this franchise, and this segment showed exactly why they work so well together. The imbalance between their personalities actually makes them more interesting when they are paired up. Chidori worrying that Erika might be in love with Suou was also incredibly endearing.

I am not sure if Erika will reveal what actually happened to the others, but I certainly hope the culprits get their comeuppance later in the visual novel. What they did was completely inexcusable.

On a side note, I found an interesting fact. Chidori’s voice actress is Suzaki Aya, who also voices Ningyohime in Mary Skelter 2. Ironically, that is a game I am playing right now in another category on this stream. I swear it wasn’t on purpose; I only just noticed the connection. Their voices in these roles are not very similar, so it didn't click until now.
