Do blob girls go slorpa-slorp if nobody is around to get eaten? Iriko would never slurp her food, she's too polite.

An epub version of the chapter is attached below, as always!

Surprise, it's an interlude! Even better, it's an Iriko interlude! It's been a little while since we last heard from everyone's favourite(?!?!) blob girl, though it's not actually been very long for her. Normally I would never spoil the POV of a chapter right here in the patreon post, but, well, her name is already in the chapter title!

Some of you may notice that this chapter marks a bit of a departure to how I've used interludes so far. Up until this point I've always used interludes to showcase/crashland/swerve into a new POV that we haven't seen before, often a POV outside of the main cast, who then becomes part of the main cast later on. Obviously I can't do this forever - the cast would get extremely large if I kept using that trick. We might see interludes like that again in the future, sure, but right now I'm experimenting with using them a bit differently. I'll see how this goes! In any case, next chapter we will be smashing straight into arc 15.

Also! I have more fanart from the discord to share with you! A little treat, inspired by the previous chapter and the end of arc 14: The Spire, (by spring), and the art of Telokopolis used for it, (also by spring!) For those of you who haven't played the video game Signalis, this is a reference to a jarring scene transition late in the game, drawing a direct parallel between that and the moment Elpida arrives on the memory of the plateau. As a huge fan of Signalis, this is incredibly flattering and very cool! Thank you so much!
