Interesting chapter, gameplay-wise, this time... I spent a lot of time hanging back and increasing my ARM. The hallway boss was way harder than anything else in the chapter, though she didn't give me an outrageous amount of trouble either. The actual boss, though, was remarkably easy.
It felt like Alice was a lot deadlier this time, though still not unreasonably difficult. Did you stealth-buff her stats?
Wait, did Shizuka and Aika actually take all of the entire party's stuff with them like the
sticky-fingered kleptomaniacs main protagonists (sorry, mental autocorrect) they are? When I saw they still had it, I thought it was going to be a gameplay abstraction, but then Mei and Haun don't have it. That's hilarious.

I actually didn't pay much attention to the clown fish costume design at first, but it's kind of clever actually. Well done.
Is it bad that you can visit Aika's fantasy marble (and other chapter 6 areas) as Mei+Haun? ...It's probably fine.

The clownfish fight is kind of random; nothing is really all that dangerous except Clowning Around, but if a couple enemies use it in a row and then one of them hits you...
The animation for Unbearable is amazing. The fact that it did 0 damage is, uh... oh well. That's Mei.
The map sprites for Mei and Haun in their casual clothes are quite nice, actually. I rarely seem to see them during normal (full group, full inventory) gameplay.
...There's no quest board at the circus, right? I had some money troubles towards the end of the chapter.
We seem to be running into an awful lot of crazies with knives today, don't we?
Side note: That last part was giving me the strangest Rance 1 vibes for a while, which is a pretty unusual thing to say about a yuri game but wasn't meant as a criticism. ("Big Sister" was seriously reminding me of Princess Lia of Leazus with the lesbian torture-kidnapping... admittedly there are considerable differences but there are a remarkable number of comparisons you can draw).
