That night, Eru didn’t come home.

Didn’t come home……

Didn’t come home!

To one’s surprise, didn’t come home!

Eru went with her music teacher Takimoto Kiyoko to a piano performance.

Takimoto Kiyoko was actually a really famous piano master. She was the headmaster of a music school before she retired. Any normal person would need to pull some strings if they want to get a ticket to her performance. And this time, Sensei was actually the one who personally invited Eru to her performance. She set the time to be after school so it wouldn’t affect her studies. You can see that she really liked Eru as her last disciple.

Nevertheless, due to an oversight, the recital’s end hour was a little late, so Eru was staying over at her teacher’s home.

Although Eru’s already 16 years old, that she is legally an adult who can agree to a labor contract, from Kana’s perspective, Eru staying out all night is nothing less compared to if heaven had fallen and earth are rending.

“aaAaaAaaAaa… Eru hasn’t come home… Eru has been corrupted… Eru hates me now…” Kana wrapped herself in her blanket in her own room.

Chitoge was staying over herself owing to Kana’s persistence, but she lost her patience from Kana’s long-winded talk after not very long. She kicked Kana in the buttock, “I can’t stand you anymore! You clearly said to her on the phone, ‘It’s okay, there’s no need to come home,’ and now you started to complain.”

“I’m not contradictory!” Kana quickly sat up, pointed her finger, then righteously said, “Eru’s growth will benefit me, even if I have to endure the suffering of loneliness!”

After showering, Kana didn’t wear anything, she’s only wrapped in blanket. She was quite swift while sitting up that the blanket fell from her shoulder, exposing the large expanse of her milky skin and ample chest. Being just recently soaked in hot water, the skin was a little pink. There were still a few droplets of water on her skin. It just looked like morning dew on flower petals¹.

Chitoge, sitting on the bed, overlooking her to see this panoramic view. She can’t help but to swallow her own saliva.

However, Kana didn’t realize how “popular” she was then and was about to say more, but Chitoge quickly interrupted her, “Then you can enjoy your loneliness. I’m going to take a bath.”

Kana said ‘Oh’, and went back to rolling about.

Chitoge sat in the bath. She has an indescribable feeling inside of her.

What the hell, why do I have feelings for her, obviously we are both girls, and it isn’t like I have never seen her chest before.

She can’t help but to recall Kana’s assets–both the shape and the color left nothing to be desired.

I really want to try it…

Aaaaaaaaaa!! Why am I getting these thoughts! Blupblupblupblup… she dipped her head in the water.

Kana obvious didn’t know about Chitoge’s current dilemma. After rolling around on the floor a few more times, she felt bored. After all, no matter how much she rolled, Eru couldn’t see her. The so-called tantrums and rolling around need an audience².

Out of sheer boredom, Kana suddenly remembered that she still had an important task to do. She took out her phone, connected it to her computer, and began installing an app³.

Ako sent her the Touhou Project’s first game, a demo of “Touhou Reiiden”. The installation bundle also included an emulator, so she thought that playing it on her phone is better, so… installation failed.

This TM is incomplete product⁴!

Kana had no choice but to try again with the emulator.

Although incomplete, the game’s delicate graphics and classical, but quick music stunned her. She had experienced the original “Touhou Reiiden”, the people inside the game were basically a sloppy mosaic of small people.

She can understand this, game development is a cash draining activity, regardless of passion, one must eat. Eagle Jump was a big game production company, which was also backed by Ako’s funding. Shanghai Alice was just a gaming hobby circle. The economics just wasn’t comparable.

Besides the jump in quality, there are significant difference between Eagle Jump’s and the original version.

The original version was a block breaker game. Considering the continuation of the series, she decided to directly change it to vertical scrolling bullet hell game.

And then, the main character’s shrine, the Hakurei Shrine, was a mirror of the Juumonji family shrine, the Arakusu Shrine. And the main character, Hakurei Reimu, was drawn after Eru’s good friend, the Arakusu Shrine’s shrine maiden, Juumonji Kae.

Although Hakurei Reimu’s iconic white and red shrine maiden’s outfit remained, her build and stature has significantly matured. This was the most different thing that Kana noticed, and it didn’t sit well with her. How come the character designer doesn’t understand the truth of “Flat is Justice”⁵!

“Reimu is actually not flat, I can already smell the scent of failure…⁶”

This really troubled the project architect. Although, suddenly, she heard something vibrating beside her. She looked down to search, and found Chitoge’s phone.

“Hey, who’s this?” Kana, being discourteous, picked up the phone.

The one on the other side went silent for a while, as if to check if they didn’t call the wrong number, and then said, “I’m Kirisaki Chitoge’s father, who are you?”

“Oo, Kirisaki-san, I have heard of you. I am Chitoge-chan’s friend,” she answered while playing the game.

“Haha,” the man on the other side of the phone sounds elated, “So my daughter’s friend, where’s Chitoge? Can you bring the phone to her?”

“Chitoge is in the bath, it’s not convenient for her to pick up the phone. Kirisaki-san, is there something wrong? I can pass on the message.”

“Indeed, I have an important matter…”

“Is it about the engagement?”

He appeared to have been caught off guard when she cut him, “Yes, it is very related to that matter, so I would like to personally talk with Chitoge.”

“Nn, I know, I know,” Kana suddenly get excited, “I always admired your goal!”

“Admired?” the father sounded bewildered, as if wondering how he ended up meeting a crazy girl.

“That’s right! Sacrificing a girl to attract more power, this is a very great and grand tactic! Just imagine, if you expend your strength, make more daughters, and then send one of them when you meet an opponent, then you wouldn’t need to spend a lot of time, you can rely on this silver bullet to conquer the world. That is a grand undertaking indeed! In hundred of years, the Hive will be able to dominate and be worshiped by the whole underworld, I can plan what object will be the object of worship, I just need your p̲e̲n̲i̲s̲ delivered to me, and then we can use formalin to preserve it, then it will be ready. I am already shivering from the overwhelming wave of emotions, don’t you feel it too…”

After Kana finished her fervent speech, the other person hung up. She herself put down the phone, and continued playing.

Half an hour later, Chitoge finished bathing. She was rubbing her hair that’s still dripping water when she entered the room.

“Has someone called?” Chitoge asked after seeing the call history while she’s looking over her phone.

“Nn, your dad,” Kana said without raising her head.

“What did you two talking about?”

“Nothing, I advised him to make you a lot of little sisters.”

“Chi, I don’t have a little sister complex like you do.”

“You don’t even have a little sister, how do you know if you don’t have a little sister complex?”

1. Richie: You aren’t dry yet, and you still wrap yourself in blanket? I’m offended for the wet blanket now. Screw the morning dew.
2. That sounds sensible, but also would piss off everyone involved.
3. While naked, or only wrapped in a blanket. Up to your imagination.
4. Richie: I don’t know what TM means. Sure, it can mean trademark, but it doesn’t fit the context, I feel.
5. Richie: I’m personally in “Oppai is Truth” camp. By the way, the middle camp is called “Medium is Premium”, in case you want to share in the comments.
6. Excuse me.
