Hey everyone 💙
First of all~ sorry it’s been a while since the last chapter! Life decided to throw me into non-stop training and practical demos, so my brain has basically been living on coffee, highlighters, and panic. 🫠 My priority had to be work for a bit, but I haven’t forgotten you guys (promise).
Now, because I left you hanging, here’s a little surprise to make it up to you: 🎉
👉 Patreon tier members are getting an exclusive peek at a commissioned art piece of Aoi herself. Yes~ our chaotic gremlin finally has a face. This design is based on Extra 2.5 (hehe, if you know you know), so you’ll see all the little details that capture her perfectly.
Honestly, seeing Aoi in full art form kinda made me go, “Yep. That’s her. That’s the feral pudding gremlin who drags us into goose and bad decisions.” 😂
And a big shoutout to the amazing artist who made this possible: Steiner! 🎨
They’re the one who brought Aoi’s gremlin energy to life, and honestly, no one else could’ve captured her this perfectly. If you like what you see (and you will), go show Steiner some love:

Thank you so much for sticking around even when uploads slow down, it means the world that you’re still here and hyped for what’s next. The story’s not going anywhere, I’m just juggling real life alongside it. And now you’ve got Aoi’s official look to keep you company while I wrestle my schedule back into shape.
💙 You guys are the best.
