how the collar x malice boys would react to you kissing all over their face!
cw/tags: established relationship, pure fluff, all that fun shit. mild suggestive content warning, but nowhere near explicit.
Tumblr media
mineo enomoto:
flips out in the funniest way possible. his face is beet red, palms sweaty, as he loudly panics about you springing the surprise attack on him. tries to do the same thing to you but can't work up the nerve to do something so affectionate. he thinks it was really cute-- he doesn't tell you this directly, but at this point every thought that crosses his mind he's saying, so you find out anyways. in the end you have to comfort him about the whole thing. later remarks how that was something in his '100 Heart-Jerking Love Confessions' book he'd always wanted to try. promises that he'll surprise you with something even more cute and romantic next time.
takeru sasazuka:
immediately tenses up and calls you an idiot, trying to dodge the remainder of your kisses. if he manages to get away from you he immediately looks away so you can't see the heat rising to his cheeks. if he doesn't, he's protesting and tossing out insults as you laugh and kiss him all over. the moment he recovers, though, you lose. now he's the one teasing you. careful with this one. keep pushing him and he's gonna jump you. best cancel any plans you had for the rest of the day, because you're not going anywhere.
kei okazaki:
laughs, savoring the sweet gesture. he pulls you into a tight hug. pouts about you surprising him like that-- that's cheating! he buries his head in your neck and starts mumbling about how unfair it is that you can do that but he's not allowed to surprise you with kisses all over. he quickly reminds you *why* he's not allowed to have free reign with his kisses as he starts attacking your neck, nipping at the fragile skin and attempting to mark you until you squirm enough for him to stop. promises to get you back later... and you are absolutely certain he won't forget. makes a habit of paying you back several times over.
kageyuki shiraishi:
freezes, blinking for several moments as he tries to process what just happened. then he laughs, calls the affectionate gesture cute. he flips it on you by teasing you without mercy. what was that all about? are you so in love with him that you can't help but shower him in affection? in all honesty, he's pretty flustered by it. a gesture like that was so pure, so wholesome that it made him feel squishy and vulnerable inside. but he's supposed to be calm and aloof like always, he thinks, so he focuses his energy on teasing you. expect this incident to be brought up for months to come.
aiji yanagi:
this old man goes red pretty quick. he stares in disbelief for a few moments before bashfully hiding his face behind his hand. he shouldn't be getting this embarrassed over a few kisses, not at his age, but you just do things to him. you make him feel young and stupid again. it takes him a minute to finally look you in the eye, but he eventually returns your affections with a sweet kiss and a warning not to mess with him like that, or he'll have to return the favor. push your luck any further and enomoto's going to have to find somewhere else to stay for the night.
BONUS:
hideaki yoshinari:
this man's brain does a full system reboot the moment you kiss him like that. him...? really? it makes him feel like some dashing protagonist at the end of a romantic comedy. once his brain restarts he's doing the same to you. forehead, nose, jaw, cheeks, and eventually your lips-- he leaves no area neglected. you just make him so happy. by the end you guys are romping around like excitable puppies, showing each other in all the affection you can manage.

Collar x Malice (Kei & Mineo) Review
Will Include Spoilers
So I decided to go ahead and post my review of Kei & Mineo since the game is about alot of death I'm taking a break and will come back soon and play the other 3 routes for now though Kei is still my favorite even in Mineo's story Kei is still great.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kei Okazaki
Tumblr media
The moment I first saw him climb through the window I thought he was cute. He originally was my second choice of guys then he started talking and seemed like a pure idiot I questioned if he would be so good after all. I am glad however I went with him because he grew on me fast. The longer I looked at him the more I could say he was drawn so damn pretty, I could look at him all day. He liked to show pda holding hands and that was so damn sweet. Then to find out he is against women being hurt and his loyalty to take care of a special person in his life that he would die for them this really caught my attention about him. His possessive streak was adorable and I loved every time he made comments like only let me in your house, or let me only walk you home, or don't make things for the other guys or when he snapped at Shiraishi told him not to pick on you as well as said he will never give permission to allow it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He isn't the best with stuff like house work, cooking and such but he will bring flowers, hold hands, snuggle up and watch movies well horror movies with you. He is so sweet that even when you like him he is flirty a bit but the moment you tell him you want him to keep doing it dominant mode kicks in. This I wasn't expecting in him pinning you to the floor or when he makes it clear he wants to be super close to you he is definitely a naughty boy with his partner. He will always jump in front to protect you when anyone tries to harm you, he likes to send cute texts with emojis and call you cause he misses your voice. Honestly these are all the little things that made him such a great guy and my favorite so far.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Only downfall and I know people are wishy washy on is the fact as the mc you also find out he wanted to die all along but for a special person so it was a death worth dying for. I know people question if he ever really loved her until the very end because he was using her. I feel like Kei is naïve, and not the best with common sense at time however a great at his job anything else outside that he lacks. However that being said I think he was in love alot longer than the end he just didn't know what to call it. I mean come on you can't tell me all the times he got jealous as time went on where he didn't want to share his time or even little things like being the only guy in her apartment or snuggles with the movies. I mean even when he was very clear to Shiraishi when he told him to knock off picking at you unless he says its ok then he makes it clear he will never give his say so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pinky finger thing and the fact when it comes to crying when he hurts he shows his pain loud and clear. Yes he was just a hurting soul that needed someone to show he was valued and loved also that he deserved to live. He held a grudge in himself cause his partner died protecting him this made him a sad boy. I mean he didn't even understand why your mad at him until you truly have to show him what he is missing. Then the fact your willing to die for him and he almost loses you it bout kills him as he thought your last words was going to be I love you, it about breaks him. Sadly in the bad end it does break him and he wants to die but promised you he would live so he tried even though the bad guy kills you anyways. Honestly its not hard to love him if you love sad boys like me. If I had to compare him to someone I put compare him to piofiore a cross between Dante, Nicola and Leo together. This mans pain brought me to tears in the good and the bad ending his pain is deep and its hard not be suffering with him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mineo Enomoto
Tumblr media
At first I thought he would be cool but he was annoying pretty fast and even after about a chapter in his very presence annoyed me. However after I got to his route I really thought he ended up quiet sweet. The blushing idiot type haha but no seriously he is younger than Kei and you can tell it for sure. Like I love how he blushes and gets shy I'm a sucker for these men however Mineo blows it out of proportion at times its not the shy guy part its the annoying practically screaming at you if you call him out on it. Like most shy guys you tell them you know they are into you and they blush harder and get more quiet he is the opposite so after some time it does get to you. He is cute his mumbles as he goes along like when he was drunk and he practically proposes to you the next day, or tells you as you take rice off his face that its what he always wanted a lover to do. These things and the fact he will beat the shit out of someone who tries to hurt you. He shows that when he comes across the guys in the alleyway that are trying to make you strip.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is a big brother type to his little sister and is absolutely adorable about how he dotes so much about her. Then he has that protective daddy feel to him when he talks about her making me think he would make a good daddy if you could even get this boys virginity in the first place. Its nice he works at trying to get your brother to stop being dick to you, which is so needed. I do like the outcome of your brother and you by the end of this route. I love Kei is still a sweetie even in this route and loves to bust Mineo's balls. He tells Aiji what he sees when Mineo's drunk and yet the way he says it makes it sound like more than what it is. Even to the point later in the game he asks if he was announcing marriage after that. When Mineo practically screams and denies everything, Kei's charm kicks in and tells you to call him Kei as he calls you by your name, this makes Mineo jealous and starts asking you to call him Mineo. Then this dynamic gets weird cause he tells you to call his name again and when you do he wants more I swear dude was getting off on this or at least excited lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really would say he is a bean in the end just has alot of growing up to do. His story with his old mentor getting killed was sad but I'm glad as time went on he was able to heal from that. Also unlike Kei Mineo was not all nice in the beginning he was kind of a ass and when your walking home alone he tells you he won't walk you. That being said when he does care for you he will come back and get you and make sure your ok. He is like a walking contradiction I'm learning that if he loves you or is interested then you have his interest to care if not he doesn't give a rats ass about you. He is a romantic and will take a girl on a date and doesn't mind paying if she wants a nice place to go. I tried to play his route late at night in my house and I either had to wear a headset or mute it cause he was so loud in his route with his screams and freak outs. I would suggest you not play his route anywhere you need to be quiet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There were moments he was serious like when he confesses his love to you there is no blushing guy no overly loud bullshit just sensitive sweet Mineo that you know is underneath. I do like him but I just can't deal with the constant screaming even when you tell him you love him he seems to think your lying or he is dreaming. I feel like the MC really could see herself falling for Kei I don't think she could see herself falling for Mineo I think she even second guessed herself alot. Even his bad endings weren't really sad per say like I cried nothing and really didn't even feel much the endings. They seemed to be worse endings for the MC not as much Mineo. I hate at one bad ending she loses her brother and goes on a killing the killer. Then the one that was the saddest was when she killed the bad guy but yet fled the town to leave Mineo yet he understood he did it to protect him and he forgave her yet she couldn't forgive herself I felt bad for him only then still no tears though.

Okay, I'm just putting this out there... I definitely think that the end sequence for Great Pretender is not just random cute animation but clues to the bigger story being told.
Tumblr media
I've been leaning towards the theory that the cat is Laurent because out of everyone he seems like the biggest "pretender" of all the characters.
Tumblr media
And these three kitties represent Cynthia, Makoto and Abigail. I mean they are pretty much Laurent's main backups and they always end up singing to his toon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And just like in the story Cynthia, Abby and Makoto all have moments where they have to scramble or even have there lives upended by Laurent's schemes, while Laurent gets out smoothly and fairly unscathed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cat in the end sequence is also portrayed several times as a loner making his way through life. Even alone in a alleyway...
Tumblr media
*Congratulations! You've made it to the wild speculation and crack theory portion of this post!*
And this little alley cat kinda gets to my point that the end sequence has clues to the bigger story and Laurent is the key to that story. I think Laurent definitely was a "stray" or "alley" cat in his youth and even to this day he seems to be more of a wanderer than anything else. There are several aspects of Laurent's personality that just feel very cat like too me. I can definitely see him as a tough starved little alley cat that's been tamed and civilized but always keeps people at a distance because he can't forget those early lessons in the streets.
Tbh, I think that he was one of the young people trapped by the human trafficking ring that Makoto's father, Okazaki, was caught up in. I don't believe Okazaki is a bad guy, just someone who got caught doing something bad for all the right reasons. Perhaps Laurent was someone Okazaki tried to help and/or was working with to end the human trafficking ring. (There is even the possibility that Miki is the one that brought Laurent to Okazaki's attention like a little lost cat) The news story about Okazaki's arrest specifically mentions the victims being foreigners so Laurent would fit that description. I also think we might even find out that Laurent is one of or the only one Okazaki adopted as mentioned in the news story. Basically Laurent seems like he might have been a wild little alley cat that Okazaki found and couldn't leave out in the cold. That's why Laurent just seems like the best option to be represented as a wandering cat.
Anyway, Okazaki basically saves Laurent but he ends up trapped by the police sting that took out the ring. Now, Laurent is trying to live up the debt he owes Okazaki by taking out the wider/global elements of the human trafficking ring and looking after Okazaki's son (perhaps Laurent's adopted brother) in the only way he knows how.
Tumblr media
As for the ring, I think that's a piece of a bigger puzzle, a clue to a time when Laurent felt safe, warm and happy. Maybe a clue to his parents like Abby's medal or a clue to an important relationship that he lost like Cynthia's tin.
Tumblr media
Needless to say I can't wait for Case 4 because I need more answer's about Laurent and his motivations. Please feel free to comment about your own theories or thoughts.

Collar X Malice: Unlimited Part 3 - Okazaki Kei Route
Tumblr media
My heart always breaks when Okazaki gets hurt, also kinda sucks that he always gets hurt because he's protecting Ichika but sigh, what can you do since she's not a fighter😅😅 Okay, I was not expecting the kiss to be the first thing I'd see the moment the story started but I'm not complaining~ Personally, in terms of how "physical" things get, I always found Okazaki's relationship with Ichika to be the one I enjoyed seeing the most. I guess it helps since they feel really natural and cute. I really liked how they played that game telling each other what they liked about each other, it was so adorable~
Honestly, I always find it weirdly possessive when a guy or girl doesn't like it when their partner goes out alone with a friend of the opposite sex for drinks or anything. Like, is it really that big of a deal?? I respect the idea that you tell them that you're going to do that, but the idea of not going if they're uncomfortable with it is just so weird? I mean, as someone who has guy friends and prefers talking to them one on one rather than in groups, it would make life very difficult if I was "restricted" from that. Otherwise, I can understand Okazaki's thoughts though. He's already so busy with work, so knowing that someone gets to properly enjoy their time drinking with Ichika would naturally make him jealous, especially since they haven't been on a date in a while. It's not that I don't understand how Ichika feels in regards to Okazaki getting hurt and being in danger etc but I'm glad she realised that the way she is worries him too since they're both the type of people to throw their lives into danger if needed. I just hope that her worries don't gnaw at Okazaki too much, because I feel like if he hesitates too much, it'll definitely affect how he approaches his work. His job is surrounded by needing to make quick concise decisions, so if worrying about Ichika delays that, it could get pretty dangerous. I mean, he seems to have the right mindset right now anyway. He wants to get stronger so that he can do his job but not die and make Ichika sad, so I think he's already doing his best and Ichika shouldn't pressure him too much about it. However, I am glad that she voiced her worries to him instead of hiding it, since it allows him the chance to help her understand his perspective and what he can do to help dispel her worries.
Tumblr media
Okazaki and Saeki getting along was cute. I'm not surprised that Saeki is leaving the police, but I am curious about his plans. Otherwise, it's kinda cute to see how Okazaki and Ichika are both jealous of the people they're close to (Yoshinari and Saeki) because they get to see other sides of them that they don't always see. I like how we finally got Okazaki's trouble over choosing his job or Ichika out of the way pretty fast, and I'm glad he realised that he really shouldn't underestimate Ichika and should focus on his job lol. Awww I feel so bad for Ichika that Okazaki was so dumbfounded at her marriage proposal😭 To be fair though, it's not that he doesn't want to get married, it's just the whole idea was foreign to him, the fact still is that he would like to spend the rest of his life with her and is willing to give his life to her so I personally don't think marriage is that important when their feelings are pretty solid, and they've only dated for a few months anyway... Honestly though, I don't mind that Okazaki's initial reaction to the whole thing was what it was, but I find it disappointing that they haven't seen each other since or really talked? I just find it so weird that they could so openly discuss much more personal and deeper things before so easily but find it so difficult when it comes to marriage. It's not a life or death situation, they literally just need to tell each other their thoughts and work it out, it's not like he doesn't want to get married. I find it so weird Okazaki says that he can't declare his "eternal love" for her when he's been practically doing that, I mean, it's not like when you tell someone you love them it only means temporarily, so what makes it so different from what he's been doing the whole time? Like, I know marriage isn't always what people want and everyone has their own different views etc but I honestly find it difficult to understand why Okazaki finds it so hard to just communicate to Ichika that technically he's probably just not "ready" in a sense, which honestly is understandable because despite all the things they've experienced together, they're also constantly still learning new things about each other and getting to know the other better, so it's not like if they don't get married now it's the end of the world.
Tumblr media
Anyway, I understand Okazaki has a lot to think about, but I think I would have appreciated if he made it more clear to Ichika what was the problem and what he needed to think about rather than vaguely just telling her to wait for him. At least he finally opened up to her about it, and I guess it's kinda interesting that his reason for being scared of marriage was actually because he understood how possessive and clingy his love was already, and knew that if they got married, he would get "worse" so he wants to be a better version of himself that won't burden her with his overwhelming love before they get married. I think I kinda understand his sentiments though, it's like he doesn't feel like he's properly "grown" in this relationship so he doesn't want to haphazardly get married now with his feelings that borderline obsession more than love right now and thinks that it would be healthier for their relationship to grow naturally for now rather than jumping into the restrictions and responsibilities of marriage already. Personally, I agree with Okazaki that they should develop their relationship more before going into marriage just because I think they both need to develop themselves a bit more and not be so dependent on each other in the sense that yeah they should live for each other but in a more "healthy" way than they used to view this relationship where they felt like throwing away their lives for the other was the main way to show their love? Lol if that makes sense haha. I guess they basically just need more "normal" relationship time, because c'mon, it was only in the best ending that they finally got the time to go on a proper date in like months!
Tumblr media
Overall, the route was not great but not bad. Apparently the route isn't very popular in Japan and I guess I can sorta understand why lol. I think my biggest problem with the route was that since it's a fandisc, I would have preferred more fluff than drama. For example, the previous routes felt like Ichika and the LI really progressed in their relationship and overcame another hurdle together and it feels satisfying. But when it comes to Okazaki's route, even though they get past the drama, it doesn't really feel satisfying in a sense? Sometimes it feels like one step forward and then two steps backwards with Okazaki tbh lol, because I honestly thought if he just communicated better with Ichika, there wouldn't even have been much of a problem at all. Anyway, it was cute because I liked seeing them pretty passionate and loving, and it was nice to see Okazaki understand how to balance and prioritise his work and Ichika, but I do think that as a character, Okazaki feels the least developed compared to someone like Sasazuka (in his route) where even though he retained some frustrating parts of his personality, he still grew as a person with Ichika and moved beyond his initial problems, whereas Okazaki's story seemed to keep dwelling on the same problem involving Okazaki being single-minded, kinda clueless and hurting Ichika by not communicating. But yeah, hopefully Shiraishi's route will be good considering his "best ending" in the base game wasn't really that happy lol.

Review x Routes
Recently I finished Collar X Malice, an otome that is...really good! And also topical, lmao. Overall I super recommend it. Otomes in general are super underappreciated as a genre and that’s so sad! Especially when you have gems like this! There’s five routes, so I’ll give some (mostly) non-spoilery thoughts now!
Tumblr media
General Synopsis
A terrorist organization named Adonis is in the works. After several months of horrific and seemingly random murders done in the name of injustice while counting down to an apparent X-Day at the end of the year, Shinjuku has been placed under severe quarantine, with the gun ban lifted in hopes that civilians can protect themselves where the police have failed. Ichika Hoshino is a young officer in the newly instated Special Regions Crime Prevention Office, which is a glorified customer service job and mostly has Ichika answering concerned calls. During a patrol, Ichika is captured and collared by Adonis, told that if she wishes to survive, she’ll have to investigate the X-Day cases. But she can’t alert her fellow officers. Instead, she has to recruit the help of a shady detective organization, each person with their own reason for investigating...
Tumblr media
Mineo Enomoto
A very sweet and wholesome slowburn! Mineo is a himbo with a tragic backstory that relates to the events of the X-Day incident he’s (allegedly) investigating. Very simplistic and upfront about its themes and message, so it’s on the more basic side but I find Mineo’s likeability more than makes up for it. In addition to Mineo, there’s also more focus on Kazuki, Ichika’s rebellious teen bro, who is like...baby. Baby boy. Their previously estranged relationship is the most mended here, so if the romance isn’t enough, at least come for the family fluff! The side-characters are super likeable too, especially Isshiki. That said, while the first culprit is a fun albeit shallow character, I felt second/main villain of this route was more tell than show. That said. This is objectively the best route on a revisit (after completing all the others). 9/10.
Tumblr media
Takeru Sasazuka
Maybe you’re a masochist who wants to be talken down to instead. But you don’t want a guy that’s super macho, more...soft and cute...but still with a sharp tongue and a bitchy streak. Takeru’s the guy for you. He’s also anti-guns. What more could you ask for, really? In all seriousness, while I can be fond of these types, I did like this one more for the plot and the understated-ness of the romance. I actually think it would’ve benefitted from more...smut. I think it would’ve benefitted from having smut. Unfortunately (or fortunately???), otomes are sexless (even if they’re not chaste), so while things get suggestive, it stays rated T. Despite the fact that the game is rated M. Anyway, this is a story about revenge without being super edgy and graphic, which I appreciate. Also there’s some stuff about gaming addiction. If not for the ending super dragging, I’d actually think pretty highly of it despite not completely jibing, but yeah. The ending super drags. Still. The culprits are good. 7/10.
Tumblr media
Kei Okazaki
He actually doesn’t go here. Kei’s part of the Special Police (which are glorified bodyguards), assigned to look after Yanagi’s “detective agency” for monitoring purposes. Thus, he actually doesn’t know Ichika’s situation, but he’s still very much interested. That can only go well. (Note: It does not.) Anyway, Kei’s my absolute favorite and I think his route is more or less perfect despite Kei’s pushiness as a romantic lead. Said romance ties really well into the plot not by any connections in the backstory but through its themes. It’s so clever! It’s also deeply emotional with some truly astounding voice-acting! So great! Also includes a heartwrenching critique against how violence against women is overlooked and downplayed by police. Definitely one of the most heartbreaking cases in the game, and the main culprit as a villain is also just incredible as not only a tragic (but terrifying) character, but also-also a foil. He’s a vast improvement from the one in Mineo’s route. 10/10!!!
Tumblr media
Kageyuki Shiraishi
He’s only avaliable after completing any of the three routes above. Shiraishi is...rather enigmatic and aloof, being someone that Ichika actually hates at first, lmao. He’s apathetic but good at reading people, which makes him uneasy to be around. He gets better. His route is definitely the most about growth, both for him as a character and his relationship with Ichika. It’s definitely impressive and ambitious, I feel, even if I think he’d be better suited for...uh. Like. Dangan Ronpa. Or something. Maybe Ace Attorney. Lmao. That said, he’s a good route...except for the literal last minute. Which sucks. Fucking ass. Holy shit. His route could’ve been a 9/10 or even 10/10 but that ending is so bad. It’s like a 1/10 ending at best. God, poor Shiraishi. Deserved Better/10.
Tumblr media
Aiji Yanagi
The true route! The last......and least, imo. Rip. Sorry, Yanagi! As the final route, the romance has to actively compete for focus with the plot revelations and it comes across as not only unbalanced, but underwhelming. Despite Yanagi also being objectively perfect husband material, I personally had a hard time feeling engaged with his relationship with Ichika. Also Ichika isn’t as reliant by necessity on Yanagi as she is on the others. Which *would* be good, except it makes Ichika’s strong attachment to him off the bat feel more sudden and more...forced. I also wasn’t nearly as attached to the main-main villain as I was to the many side-villains we had met until that point. But, it had some interesting elements and I liked how other characters were used and characterized. Yanagi’s relationships to the other male characters are all good. One character, who’s introduced more in Kei’s route but we only get to know here, is actually pretty charismatic and interesting. There are good elements here, but it needed more fleshing out. Rather unfortunately, this *is* the longest route, too. I feel bad. The writers must have seriously struggled. 6/10.
Tumblr media
Overall, please play this game. I didn’t even get a chance to talk about how great Ichika herself is. Or the other female characters for that matter.
Tumblr media
Ichika more like Ichiban...ka...

Otomate Party 2019 Collar x Malice Drama “Reverse reality”
Tumblr media
Short drama featured in Otopa 2019, this was also shown in the 2020 Otomate New Title Party livestream. 
HEAVY BASE GAME SPOILERS. There’s also some minor spoilers AND a CG spoiler for -Unlimited-. Either way, don’t read this if you have not finished the first game.
Highly recommend that you watch while you read, it will 100% enhance the experience. It’s also because there are some ad-libs that are better experienced while you can see the voice actors and be able to hear the crowd. Here is a timestamped link to the section (if it doesn’t jump there, it starts at 15:23)
**Please don’t move this translation or claim it as your own.**
---
Yanagi: 20XX, December. Vicious events that have been committed in succession have disrupted social order. Known as the X-Day Incidents, we, who were former police officers, have been investigating--
Okazaki: Aha, wait, Yanagi-san~
Yanagi: Okazaki…Don’t interrupt others when they’re starting their monologue.
Okazaki: Sorry, but this time it doesn’t look like we need a very serious atmosphere.
Yanagi: What did you say?
Okazaki: The title seems to be wrong, it’s actually this:
Tumblr media
[Title: It was just a dream]
Yanagi: What?
Okazaki: Shall I give you a summary then?
Okazaki: On a day in 20XX, a party was being held in a corner of Shinjuku. Thanks to the magic of Otopa (Otomate Party), in a place where time and space become twisted, a group of people who normally cannot meet have gathered…
---
Yanagi: An izakaya… no, I really don’t understand what’s—
Shiraishi: If it were just Yanagi-kun, Okazaki-kun and I… 
Saeki: I feel like I’m intruding, sorry about that.
Mikuni: There should be no need to apologise. We were also forcibly brought here when we were busy.
Okazaki: Soooo… I believe that one is Ichika-chan’s co-worker from the police station, Saeki-kun, right?
Saeki: Yup.
Okazaki: And that one is the politician Mikuni-san?
Mikuni: Yes. I also know who you are very well. You’re the people from the detective agency who are investigating the X-Day incidents by yourselves. Since you’ve also been investigating the identity of the mastermind of Adonis, you must have discovered our involvement by now.
Yanagi: Hmph. Not gonna bother to hide it? Should I treat this as your confession?
Shiraishi: Hey, Yanagi-kun, you don’t have to think that much this time. All that about the incidents, arrests, they all don’t exist~
Yanagi: Excuse me?
Saeki: Ah, they told me before I came here, Today, let’s just throw away all that messy stuff from the main story. We can’t go dropping spoilers, yeah?
Okazaki: Haha, yup, it’s Otomate Party, after all.
Saeki: Yup, hehe~
Okazaki: So that means that it’s Saeki-kun and Mikuni-san’s first time meeting us, isn’t it?
Saeki: Ah, I know Shiraishi-san since he’s pretty famous in the Shinjuku station… but that’s about it.
Shiraishi: Ahaha… Mikuni-san, this should be fine, yes?
Mikuni: Are you trying to say that I should pretend I don’t know you, Num—
Shiraishi: Waitwaitwait… If you say it then what’s the point?
Yanagi: …Not enough...
Okazaki: Hm? Yanagi-kun, what’s wrong?
Shiraishi: Is there something wrong with your account book?
Yanagi: ...Not enough of Enomoto’s complaints...
Okazaki: Ah…. mm…. We do have a serious shortage of complaining.
Yanagi: Whatever. I can call you Mikuni, right?
Mikuni: Yes, even though I didn’t allow you to call me by name. The only one who has permission to do so is--
Shiraishi: S-S-Stop, didn’t we just say not to talk about the personal identity of that person today?
Yanagi: I can’t believe it… that Shiraishi’s thinking of other people?
Okazaki: Wait a second, Saeki-kun’s being left behind. I’m sorry, making you feel uncomfortable.
Saeki: It’s no problem, but… maybe I’m not meant to be here? You’re all important characters in the main story. I’m probably the youngest character amongst everyone here. Plus I’m just the friend of the protagonist.
Okazaki: What’s up with the weird reaction from the audience?
Saeki: You must be mistaken!
Okazaki: I must be! Haha~
Saeki: Hahaha
Okazaki: Ah, now that I remember, I’m so jealous you’re Ichika-chan’s coworker. I heard you two go out drinking together a lot.
Yanagi: That’s right, Saeki’s the only one who knows Hoshino well here.
Shiraishi: She’s still cautious with us, so I’m very interested in what kind of person she is.
Saeki: He~eh, Hosino’s pretty popular. But all I know is that she’s a really normal person. She’s always doing her best, and straightforwardly. Sometimes she can be discouraged and be in low spirits, but when she’s angry, she can be really scary. Ah! And when she gets drunk, she laughs a lot and gets really passionate when she talks to me.
Mikuni: …Is that it?
Saeki: Hm?
Mikuni: If Ichika Hoshino is as normal as you say then I believe she should not have been chosen by Adonis.
Yanagi: Oi, Mikuni, what do you mean?
Saeki: Oh… I don’t know how Adonis thinks, but I think she’s strong because she’s normal.
Mikuni: I don’t understand, even if I do want to, since she holds the key to us.
Saeki: Ahaha, to a brilliant politician like you, our worlds are completely different.
Shiraishi: ...Sorry, I can’t stand this anymore.
Yanagi: I can’t believe it… that Shiraishi’s losing his cool!
Okazaki: Truly a rare sight to behold.
Okazaki: That said, we’re in front of a gathering of girls, we shouldn’t be this aggressive. If our goal is to become friends, why don’t we play a game?
Shiraishi: Do you mean the friendship games that Okazaki-kun and Mineo-kun always play?
Yanagi: Those? It’s going to get more chaotic if so many people start drinking tequila. 
Okazaki: Then what about a ‘revelation game’? We’ll reveal our true thoughts on the subject written on the back of these cards. And you have to answer the question no matter what it is.
Saeki: Oh, I like it! I’d be happy to get to know everyone better.
Mikuni: It’s of no loss to me if I get information from you.
Shiraishi: Then let’s go clockwise from Yanagi-kun.
Yanagi: Why do I have to go first? Nothing I can do about it-- IT’S MY TURN.
[Card: What kind of gestures do you like in a woman?]
Yanagi: Gestures? I haven’t really thought about it, something like tying long hair into a bun, I guess?
Saeki: Ah, I get that! It looks really nice when they’re wearing a yukata.
Shiraishi: Really? Should I tie my hair like that?
Yanagi: I didn’t ask.
Mikuni: I see. I’ll add this to the data we have on Aiji Yanagi.
Yanagi: I. Didn’t. Ask.
Okazaki: Then it’s my turn next. What’ll it be~?
[Card: What’s something you want a woman to say to you?]
Yanagi: Is this really about friendship?
Okazaki: Hm… I can feel the coercive energy of Otopa… it’s like... a heavy pressure.
Saeki: Okazaki-san looks like he’s pretty popular. I wanna learn from you.
Okazaki: Haha, you sound like Mineo-kun. Words I want to hear from a woman… Yanagi-san, it’s better to give a more restrained answer, right?
Yanagi: Yeah, it might be bad if you’re too careless, ah, but there’s still a chance. I’d rather you say something that can be visualised, it’s okay if you say something that can’t. Anyway, I’m leaving it up to you.
Okazaki: I’m just going to follow what’s in the script, then.
Okazaki: The golden phrase “I don’t want to go back”. If she said it like that, it would be impossible not to want her.
Shiraishi: I don’t get it, what kind of situation wouldn’t let her go home? Does she work at a bad company?
Mikuni: Perhaps her family situation is complicated?
Saeki: Uh, are you two really fully-grown men?
Yanagi: ...Enomoto… come here quickly… I’ll even take Namikawa (Daisuke)!
Shiraishi: It’s my turn next, right?
[Card: What kind of food do you want a woman to make for you?]
Shiraishi: Hm. Nothing in particular. I could just make it myself.
Okazaki: So dreamless! Shiraishi-san, you always eat such dull things. Don’t you ever crave some homemade food?
Shiraishi: Then Yanagi-kun will make something for me, so no.
Yanagi: Oi, I’m not your mother.
Mikuni: So Aiji Yanagi has the ability to win people’s hearts with good food. This cannot be underestimated.
Shiraishi: No matter how you say it, home made food is--
Saeki: [Slams his cup down] No! There’s stuff like meat and potato stew! And karage! That’s romantic!
Okazaki: Oh… Saeki-kun’s drunk. When did he drink that much?
Saeki: Pfft- I ain’t drunk! The night’s still young~!
Yanagi: The alcohol’s gone to his head, here, drink some water.
Mikuni: It might be better to lie down, come over here…
Saeki: Nuh-uh. I wanna play… the revelation game!!!
[Card: What’s your type of woman?]
Saeki: Ooh! My type of woman… let me think. Of course, she’s gotta be cute… has style, she’s good at cooking. Someone who’s usually honest, but sticks to their beliefs… and responsible with work.
Shiraishi: So someone who’s similar to you? Or someone who has the same type of thinking as you?
Okazaki: Also… this… sounds similar to Ichika-chan.
Saeki: Hm? Nah, we’re not like that--
Mikuni: --Enough. I should be going back soon.
Yanagi: Oi, what’s with you all of a sudden--
Okazaki: Ah… my vision… it’s weird… Yanagi-san...
Yanagi: What’s going on… this sound…
Shiraishi: Ah, is it over already?
Mikuni: We have fully obtained the information required for analysis. You must be satisfied too?
Okazaki: What… it hurts…--
---
Okazaki: *gasps* Huh? ...A dream? My bad, did I wake you up? No, I’m okay. I just had a weird dream. Good morning. Is your body okay? Last night I went too-- ah! Hehe, so cute~
I didn’t forget. Our promise that we were going on a date today. But I just want to hold you all the time, because you’re too cute. So cute it’s trouble.
If I kissed you like this outside you’d get angry at me, right? So… can you let me keep you all to myself just for a little longer?
---
Shiraishi: Hm? Was I asleep? I was reading to the children… it looks like I fell asleep when we were together. Eh? You were looking at my sleeping face? What’s that about, so unfair. You know I wanted to see yours too. I’ll see it someday. That’s right, there’s still ‘someday’ after this…
I still think it’s strange even now. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t know that the sun was this warm, or that the breeze is so pleasant. Just holding hands with you makes my chest hurt. Even though I still have to make you feel lonely for a little while longer, don’t worry. Because we’re connected under the same sky.
---
Mikuni: Ah, it’s you. Are you reporting something for work? My complexion is bad? No… I just had a strange dream. How rare for you to worry about me. I know, this is just superficial rhetoric used by subordinates. However, after talking with you over these past few days, the way I deal with people seems to have changed.
I… quite clearly think that you are annoying, but I do not hate you. Even in a hell like this, the light in your eyes has not disappeared. It seems that I am drawn to your strength. 
No… forget what I said. That was just a joke that will disappear one day like illusions.
---
Saeki: Ah, sorry, I was just a little dazed. ...Careful! Almost dropped the crepe. It’s already sunset, after we finish, we should go. 
…! Don’t make that kind of expression. Hey, Hoshino. I know you’re at your wit’s end trying to figure out what path you want to take. You must have already decided in your heart, right? 
I see… I’ll always support you no matter what decision you make. And… I’ll resist like you are until the very end, if this is the ‘justice’ you believe in.
It’s sad, but let’s finish our date here today. Hey, will you go on another with me? 
Haha, how cold… I still want to be with you like this. That’s why, see you again.
---
Yanagi: ...It’s still night.... You’re awake? I sounded like I was in pain? ...I made you worry. It’s okay, it wasn’t the dream I usually have. ...It wasn’t the same, but I guess it was still a nightmare. 
Can I hold you? It’s not that I feel uneasy. It’s just that I can feel peaceful when I can feel you next to me. As long as you’re smiling next to me, I can push away any nightmare no matter what it’s about. And I can believe that I can welcome the dawn the next day.
We have the day off today, don’t we? Let’s go somewhere. I want to walk with you, through the streets of the Shinjuku I love.

Maou-jou 9 - 12 (FINAL) | Idolish7 s2 10 - 15 (FINAL) | SLS 2
I’ve been holding off new seasonals because of other things, but after I post this I’ll have enough time to get around to them. That’s why I can’t guarantee winter 2021 seasonal tags on this post...maybe the next one will have them...
Maou-jou 9
…it seems shopping channels even are the same in the demon world.
Now even the demons have quests! (The frame is different to the princess’s, though.)
Oh! The quest failed.
Neo Alraune: in flower language, “the 2nd coming of happiness”. The worry from a little while ago was, “I’m worried about my brother.” The worry from recently: “I didn’t think about being happy that the princess didn’t kill my brother.”
The penguin demons are pretty cute!
Don’t you know how parents forbid children from sleeping until they finish all their homework? Must be something like that.
Yoku ganbarimashita! – Syalis worked hard!
LOL, mental age: 3. Poseidon likes cute things…I can’t read a lot of this…the hardsubs cover the JPN text.
They…both succeeded! (…LOL?)
Maou-jou 10
Owarinocity = Endopolis. It’s a good equivalent, if I do say so myself.
…oh yeah. What happened to Alraune? Update: There she is!
Also, that blonde guy in the infomercials doesn’t look too bad…*makes chef’s kiss gesture with one hand* Nice.
I wonder, was Twilight once human…?
LOL, there’s a goat symbol on the cleric’s pyjamas. Also “first time”, LOL.
I think they were playing shiritori at one point.
Hanamaru saikou yoku dekimashita!
Maou-jou 11
…How does one “sleep cheerfully”, anyway?
I think I saw Twilight drop something…some kind of paper…
Aw, Twilight blushing is kinda cute!
LOL, 70s shoujo style. Also, “It cannot be!”
Whoa, she cancelled it?!
I read up on this series on TV Tropes…and apparently the Demon King captured the Princess in her sleep.
Kagemusha? Like a ninja or something?
Apparently the Demon Cleric is much older than he looks.
Ooh! Hypnos is back!
A-whatsit really is abysmal levels of stupid!!! (LOL)
Maou-jou 12 (FINAL)
Who’s that one tiny guy occupying one of the Ten Kings’ seats?
*watching after Christmas, about a week after the anime finished* This is not seasonally appropriate!
…*thinks for a second, then spits* That’s the 2nd Nemu in the fall 2020 season!!!
Ooh, the head paladin doesn’t look that bad, either.
“…is it good to be…”
“…has seized the princess!”
“…that demon king is rather cute.” – See? Someone agrees with me.
Anyways, that was a fun series. See you soon!
Idolish7 s2 10
…Back at it after so long…(I can’t help it though – Crunchyroll, per month, is about double the local Funimation sublicensor’s fees, and for much less content that’s worth my money to boot!)
I’ve always thought Momo was like Sasara (HypMic), so seeing him anguished hurts me in the kokoro too…
I know Banri was involved with Re:vale somehow…this must be it.
…Male idols are also popular among men? Is this why there are 8 (!!!) idol anime in winter 2021 alone…? (Also, that’s why HypMic became popular? Multidemographic appeal crossed over with obvious merchandising opportunities?)
It’s kind of scary how Momo stepped the formality towards Yuki like that (to -san).
I guess in his heart Momo still reveres Yuki, some way or another.
The rakugo curtain really sold the moment that they (current Re:vale) were acting like an old married couple.
Yay! Silver Sky is such a cool song! Of course I recognised the intro when it came on.
…I see. The elder Kujo is entrusting his dream to Tenn, so that’s why he banned Aya from seeing Tamaki. However, it’s hard to know what to feel when Aya speaks in the vaguest terms possible.
I think that was a special ending for only this episode. I don’t know what its name is, but I guess I might recognise it on Spotify one day.
Idolish7 s2 11
LOL, Nagi’s reaction.
Considering the ‘rona is getting worse outside our very windows as we speak (type?), I think it’s correct to be concerned about your future right now.
Looking at these narrow streets reminds me of going to eat hotpot at the end of my Japan trip…only Japanese streets look like that, I think. Hong Kong’s streets are more crowded than that and America likes their suburbia.
Of course, when you say hajimemashite (nice to meet you), someone’s gotta say it back, hence the reply.
Considering there are people all over the world watching the Idolish7 anime, I would say you are telling the world about I7, Riku.
Oh! Restart Pointer! There was an MV for that one…I think it was around the time Idolish7’s MVs started getting better.
So this is the context around the new outfits! Cool!
There have been way too many puns about “idol” being…y’know, “ai (love) doll” and stuff like that…
I have one Twitter person who I follow (DejiNyucu, part of the creative team for Autumn’s Journey) because I don’t get much I7 content and they keep mentioning this “Haruki” person…and suddenly a “Haruki the Betrayer” showed up in the graffiti…they might be the same person, I think. Not Deji, but Haruki. Update: Sakura Haruki, perhaps…?
Sougo’s such a bad liar…
Sometimes, the best way to deal with things is to be direct…(I’m not very good at that, I naturally talk in a very roundabout sort of way.)
Sougo with long hair like Yuki would be really pretty… (<- has an obvious thing for guys with long hair)
Idolish7 s2 12
Nagi’s stupid accent is generally what he’s best remembered for (for me), so seeing him speak normally, and do a press conference on top of that, is…impressive.
A kabedon on top of all this! Whoa!
Shibuya 109 parody…? (I’ve seen that once or twice – parodying that means people know their stuff about Shibuya.)
I think the “it’s overflowing!” is referring to the hype in the “room”.
…this dejected Momo is worrying…(well, he is worrying and I am worrying about him.)
Oh, I see. The person responsible typed the letter so that they couldn’t be traced back. Kind of like those old movies where the culprit would cut letters out of newspapers to make threat mail, but…with even less traces than that, because cutting letters out leaves evidence.
…wow, it took a while for this ep. to have an intro…
…LOL, I just spotted Kenjiro Tsuda cited as the “fake Zero”, meaning the real one might never show up this season.
There’s something really stupid and infectious about these managers’ enthusiasm for drinking energy drinks. It puts a goofy smile on my face.
Is Musubi Tsumugi’s mother…? Update: Yes, she is.
…Wait, so the Chiba Shizuo guy is actually important?!
Idolish7 s2 13
Whenever someone says “by the way”, it means they’re changing the subject. I hate to state to obvious, but Sougo is clearly deflecting the topic of conversation from being about him.
I wonder if this guy (Haw9) is the actual Zero graffiti vandal…?
Hmph, I didn’t realise Tenn doesn’t refer to Kujo-san as his father, but…like that (“Kujo-san”) instead.
Oh hey! These are shots from Vibrato!
Most dramas can be solved with the power of Good Communication. That includes this one.
I feel like “he has a dark side” describes both Tenn and Kujo-san.
“Everyone, remember to wash your hands and gargle thoroughly.” – This is always a good thing to remember in the time of ‘rona. Reminds me of Jakurai’s line in ARB (<- this game started just after the ‘rona came down).
What did Sougo go to uni for (what specialisation)?
Idolish7 s2 14
I just realised Banri calls Momo -kun. Hmm…
Denki = electricity, LOL.
I feel like Tenn is basically Ramuda, give or take actual pink hair…guys in musical groups with pre-existing angst that they become the “centre” of. The fact Fling Posse have Saito Soma and so do Trigger strengthens the connection.
I would watch the heck out of a musical like that! Make it come true, Idolish7! (Also, today is I7 day! I’m not much of an I7 fan outside the anime, but…that’s cool!)
That shot of them jumping! I remember seeing it on the official site before!
Idolish7 s2 15 (FINAL)
There you go! I was wondering where Banri’s injury was – that was the only bit that didn’t add up for him to be Yuki’s old partner.
Hmm…Momo is 4 years younger than Yuki but 2 years younger than Banri…
This episode has a real concert vibe to it, to the point where I got startled by how loud the yell was at one point. (Even if it is mostly stills.)
LOL, lookit Okazaki!
Apparently, if you’re a hako oshi, you like all the members of a group. Someone with a green light and a pink light likes both members of Re:vale.
LOL, Usagi for Asahi beer.
…I forgot Nagi is 19.
…Ooh, I think that’s the kid from ZOOL. No wonder they needed a season 3!
That’s all. See you next time!
SLS 2
“fine and upstanding person” – That’s…hard to believe, Hayato.
I wonder how many bois Toboso designed for SLS…?
…The episode title is actually “Blank”. Not “Break”.
One of the guys’ shirts says moteki on it. That’s a period in one’s life where one enjoys more romantic attention than usual, literally “popularity season”.
The subs missed an I, so initially I knew Kiriyama’s name as “Kiryama”.
There are meant to be 2 wings, right…?
“He who controls information controls everything, right?” – For once, I’m surprised Hayato is right (and not just in that smug way of his).
“…I’m being treated like a manager.” – But Hayato is a manager! (In a sense.)
The plait guy jumps to nicknames really fast…also, why do I get the feeling Maeshima will lose the key?
I hate to say this Maeshima, but I side with your childhood friend (Kiriyama) here. As much as the anime wants me to back you, I’m watching for everyone else at this point.
That blocky building looks pretty cool. I think Zel (Archi-Anime) would like it.
Sasugai’s setup looks pretty cool, including his chair.
…hmm, Maeshima’s like me in a sense. I learn best by copying others, but memory is my best asset. If I don’t regularly train the fundamentals, I suck at everything. That said, I don’t have an eidetic memory. Also, I didn’t quite figure out Ken = Ken(sei Maeshima) until I watched long enough to connect the dots.
LOL, Derry’s. (<- reminded of a word for “butt” <- derriere)
Well, the guy’s (Souta…?) shirt does say moteki…
Kiriyama kinda looks like Jyuto (HypMic), come to think of it…Right down to his angry streak (although Jyuto has a reputation to keep as a “cool dude”, while Kiriyama is more of a Manza (Boueibu HK) and he’s more angry than he looks).
…This ED is nothing special.
…Hmm? Is that a small Terauchi and Maeshima…?
I think I’m sold for now, but I’m rooting for the other team, not Maeshima’s…not yet, anyways.

I feels like writing something, since I rarely write things these days and I feels like my English will go down the drain soon, if I’m not writing.
Since I impulsively bought a plane ticket again, it’s time for me to summarize my other two trips I had this year as like a build-up for my upcoming new adventure the Taiwan trip in November. 
This first post is about my side trip from business trip...I guess
I don’t know how I usually start my traveling post, I guess I start with a disclaimer that this post is not informative at all, just me writing about my trip for future me to reminisce about it.
It has been 2 years since I last visit Mikawa Anjo, the last time was for internship purpose, (which I happened to not write about the experience :/)  I was greeted by the familiar feelings, I missed this place.  I finally semi-ly made it back.  I worked hard in this company for the past 1 year and I feels like it paid off a little.
This trip was my 6th time in Japan and took 14 days (Aug, 18th- Sep, 1st).  Since this is a business trip, I’m able to ride Thai Airways, finally something that not low-cost and I’m able to load my luggage lol. The flight is TG644, I arrived at Japan around 8am, I decided to stop by my hotel for luggage storage, then go on an adventure to Okazaki Castle.  
Tumblr media
Before Okazaki Castle, I visited about 6 Japanese castles, so I know what I should expected from the castle.  And spoiler alert, it was disappointing for me, I don’t know why, maybe because I’m burned out from visiting castle, or maybe because I saw a greater castle?  Or maybe because I expected something from the castle that said to be the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu? The Evangelion exhibition saved this castle from a total disappointment, at least there are something interesting.  
After the castle I went back to my hotel and then meet up with my boss and some Japanese co-workers for a little nomikai.  Alcohol intake, not that much.
The second day, which is Monday, it’s the old atmosphere everybody was as welcoming as ever.  I only spent half day there because I had to visit other supplier factory in Gifu, I’m still cursing myself for not taken any photos in my phone (for the location purpose), then that night another nomikai, and this time I drunk so much sake that actually made me drunk and made me worry for tomorrow.  I’m not the kind of person to have hangover, so I didn’t worried about that, I was more worry about  how much alcohol I will have left in my blood, since Tuesday, I will have to attend welcome party.
Tuesday, another nomikai, thank god my body can handle another round.  That day, I was not drunk whatsoever, but I did drink Calpis sawla for at least 5 glasses, and other other things...overall probaby 15-20 glasses of alcohol.  Those are nothing to sake I previously drunk on Monday though.
Wednesday, nothing worth mentioning ohh except I walked 2 km for Matsumoto Kiyoshi to get the stuffs ppl asked me to buy for them.
Thursday, yakiniku with my co-workers.
Friday, actually nothing?
So one week has passed, most the weekdays activity either hung out” with my co-workers or went to grocery shopping, my co-workers (in Thailand) asked me to buy kimono for them, and they keep called it yukata.  It was a short kimono that you wear with hakama, these people want to wear them as “fashion”, these really culture appropriation *sigh*
Saturday, Saturday, where did I go on Saturday...oh Meiji Mura...again.  I actually went there two years ago to dress in Hakama while this year is to see very small fireworks with actual same age people.  Because I already went there once, not many pictures were taken 
Tumblr media
Sunday, the manager in charge of me took me to Iga, MIe to see some ninja.  Iga Ueno castle is actually in the list of castle I want to visit.  If you talking about Iga ninja, Hattori Hanzo, probably the famous ninja from that “school”?
The ninja demonstration was interesting, idk what I expected, I guess I did low-key expected movie stunts ninjutsu, but it turned out to be just ninja technique.
I do loves Iga Ueno Castle since I could see both the life of ninja and samurai in one place.  The ninja village is really fun place and touristy.
Tumblr media
So far the day went very well and pretty much free since the manager paid for everything, but my dumbass has to be extra and went to Nishio to see lantern festival (alone).  And you know what, the taxi cost 6000 yen round-trip just for the station to the festival ground.  And this is what 6000 yen gave me...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It only 8pm and the festival already over.  I learned something new every time I went to Japan.  Apparently, 8pm is late for the festival.  I live in the city, 8pm is still early for me.  
Monday, kaiten sushi with the same age people
Tuesday, in the afternoon I went to Toyohashi to see printing factory and the person asked me what is the food that I want to eat but have not eaten yet, and I replied “unagi”, which is something very expensive.  
Tumblr media
I think this was about 5000 yen for a set.  In the evening, he treated me tempura like in actually tempura shop, where the chef actually fried tempura in front of us.
Tumblr media
As a nekojita, I was suffering but it was so delicious.
Wednesday, I got stood up by the manager that took care of me 2 years ago.  No biggie.
Thursday & Friday, spent my last day in Anjo as lonely as ever.  (and spent 2 hours try to figure how to pack everything in my suitcase because of what people asked me to buy)
Saturday, I bought a day tour from Klook to Takayama and Shirakawago, the thing about tour is it convenience and probably cheaper than finding the transportation myself, but the downfall always, the time.  There are not enough time!!  I guess that is something I have to accept when it a day trip.  In the bus, I was the only non-Chinese speaking person there.
Takayama...I was eating, so I didn’t had much time to explore, but you know what I feels like if you went to Kyoto, you don’t need to go to Takayama.  It has it own charmed, I just didn’t had enough time to enjoy its charm.
Tumblr media
The raw beef is the best out of the 3, this Hida beef made visiting Takayama worth it.
Next stop, Shirakawago, the highlight of the trip.  The sunlight and everything made the pictures look colorful and amazing.  The photos taken there was one of my favorite set of photos of all my trips. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shirakawago, a place I would loved to visit again during winter and spent more time there.  Due to the lack of time, I can only take pictures of here and there instead of absorb myself.  I wanted to visit more museum, more historical stuff, but the time is limited :/
After the day tour, I went to Hikone and stay at the hotel there.
Sunday, the last day let’s make it count.  I first planned to go see Tonbokiri in western shiga (which I forgot the name of the place), but because it was so far away and I don’t want to wake up early and my main goal was HIkone castle.  I ended up with visited Nagahama Castle in the morning.  That Sunday probably the day I cursed google map the most because the train schedule in there just not right!  I didn’t missed the train, but like the map told me it departs at 9, I arrived at 8:50, the trained in the google map is the train that not stop in this station like what’s going on.  And that happened a lot that day, I probably spent like almost 2 hour in (different) train station because the time in google map was earlier than the actual train. 
Anyway, back to Nagahama castle, a castle built by Totoyomi Hideyoshi
Tumblr media
In my opinion, definitely better than Okazaki, the overall atmosphere made it “feels” more significant than Okazaki castle.  The view from the tenshuu is very pretty, in which you can actually see Biwa lake.
Tumblr media
I just loves this kind of scenery.
After Nagahama, I went to Omi-Hachiman for some unknown reason.  I’m like that awkward person that wouldn’t push the stop button because nobody seem to get off at this stop, and just kept riding the bus until many ppl get off.  I mean they are Japanese people, they know what’s good right?  Turned out, the popular spot Japanese people are going is like a “dessert park” called La Collina, I called it dessert park because they mainly sell dessert there, and “park” because they have large greenery area.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their most famous dessert is Baumkuchen, I personally not that big fan of it, so I bought the small size along with macaron.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, I followed google map to Omihachiman canal area to find the bus to get back to the station.
The canal area is what I intended to go.
Tumblr media
I’m glad I was awkward and decided to follow Japanese people because I got have variety of scenic photos.
Next stop, the highlight of this trip Hikone Castle, 1 of the 12 original castles yayyy.
I love Japanese garden, so first visited the garden in the castle area and just like other garden I visited (except Kokura Castle garden), i was not disappointed.
Tumblr media
The Hikone Castle, I loved the castle that I have to work my way to see the tenshu.  I love climbing, just to see castle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The view from the tenshu also amazing.
Tumblr media
After HIkone, I went back to Nagoya to see my same age co-workers? friends? comrades? again for the last time, and we ate “Taiwanese Ramen” which just spicy ramen
Tumblr media
And then I got back at the airport, which seem very empty at night.
Tumblr media
Good bye, Aichi.  I hope they will send me there for business trip again next year.  
If you read this far, stay tuned for another Japan trip, which is like 2 weeks later from this Japan trip.

Momo Re:vale Police Rabbit Chat Part 5: Relaxing With Re:vale And TRIGGER!?
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Tsumugi: Momo-san, good work! You were great at today's shoot!
Momo: Maneko-chan, good job~~~!! Thanks a lot for earlier!
Momo: Yuki and me have officially made up!! We really couldn't have done it without everyone's help!!
Momo:
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Really!? I'm so glad to hear that, Momo-san!!
Tsumugi: 
Tumblr media
Choices/outcomes:
1. How would you sum up that incident?
Momo: Huh. A lot happened, but to me, it was international police TRIGGER's best case yet!
2. Who do you think was the key player of that incident?
Momo: To me, this was mainly about Gaku, but... Sorry! Most of this was Momo-chan's fault!!!!
3. What was the most delicious thing Yuki-san cooked for you?
Momo: Everything he makes is great! I was so happy about the peach compote we had for dessert, but I don't remember eating it. And he was pretty excited about the menu since everyone was coming to eat it, too. I should have savored it more. Sorry, Yuki.
Tsumugi: Yuki-san even lifted his ban, didn't he!
Momo: Thank you for that!
Tsumugi: This might be a bit intrusive of me, but what caused it?
Momo: It was my fault! I shouldn't have been talking to other people so much when I was with Yuki, anyway.
Momo: Outside of TRIGGER, IDOLiSH7, and you, most of my contacts are purely work-related, but Yuki didn't exactly like that.
Momo: I knew how  he felt about it, too. But I thought it was for Yuki and Re:vale's sake, so it became my top priority.
Tsumugi: And that lead to Yuki-san banning any mentions of him...
Momo: I was really surprised that he got so angry about it, and I didn't really know where to draw the line. So I stopped talking about him altogether for a while after that.
Momo: But Yuki told me that he'd wanted me to stop rabbit chatting in general.
Momo: It would've been so easy to figure out, if I'd thought about it. It's just that the moment I thought Yuki-san might've begun to  hate me, my head went blank.
Tsumugi: I see...
Momo: Meanwhile, Yuki was getting to know   IDOLiSH7 and Gaku better. I thought the story of i7 Police 2 might make him feel complicated, but he was getting along just fine with Gaku, his ex-partner. I started thinking that maybe a partner like Gaku would have helped him get over everything quicker.
Momo: I suddenly didn't know anything about Yuki anymore. He was worried   about me this whole time, but I wasn't doing anytihng to help him...
Tsumugi: Momo-san... I understand how you feel, but you're overthinking this! Even if you're not as close as you thought you were, you should still talk to each other openly!
Momo: I regret what I did! In any case, I’m  making sure to do my  networking somewhere Yuki can't see!
Momo: I bought energy and health drinks, so this time I'll make sure not to make him worry again!!
Tsumugi: Momo-san..?
Momo: By the way, I heard you collected the notes detailing the truth of our incident from Re:vale and TRIGGER's review meeting!
Momo: I was still fighting with Yuki back then, so I'd like to hear the whole story again!
Tsumugi: A-alright! I'll just give you the cliffnotes version, then!
Momo: Please do!
Tsumugi: A dinner party begins at Yuki-san's house. At the urging of Momo-san, Tsunashi-san drinks glass after another, until he is blackout drunk. He becomes unable to speak anything but Okinawan.
Tsumugi: This is where Tsunashi-san’s recollection of the events stops.
Tsumugi: Tsunashi-san’s comment: “I had the feeling Momo-san wanted me to keep drinking, so I didn’t refuse his offers.”
Momo: Oh yeah! I felt really awkward being around Yuki, so I tried to get everyone else drinking to improve the mood!
Momo: Ryunosuke's been really considerate of my feelings lately, so I think he drank so much to make me feel better... I think he was really looking forward to drinking with us, so I felt bad for getting him to black out so quickly!!
Momo: When he started speaking Okinawan, I thought I broke him. I was really worried for a second! I relaxed when I remembered that it was just his dialect, but looking back on it, it was a chaotic situation, lol
Tsumugi: Okinawan is difficult, isn't it..!
Tsumugi: Drunk and unable to keep up a conversation with him, Momo-san calls in Nagi-san to translate.
Tsumugi: This is where Momo-san and Gaku-san's recollection of the events stops.
Tsumugi: Gaku-san's comment: "I had fun."
Momo: Gaku had been having fun with Yuki ever since he arrived. I felt restless.
Tsumugi: Nagi-san tries to decline the invitation, but is forced into a taxi by Yamato-san and Mitsuki-san, who tell him to spend more time with other groups.
Tsumugi: Even after he gets to the party, Nagi-san is unable to interpret the Okinawan conversation. Unable to keep up with the drunkards, he tries to leave altogether.
Tsumugi: Hearing that Sogo-san and Iori-san are good at quizzes, Yuki-san starts testing them over rabbit chats.
Tsumugi: Whenever they get something right, he toasts them on his end, and that is where his recollection of the events stops.
Momo: How did it come to that, lololol Maybe it's because this is the abridged version, but Yuki's actions are so random it's hilarious, lol
Tsumugi: This stream of events was pretty much how it went! ><
Momo: I'm dying, lololol
Tsumugi: Yuki-san’s comment: "Those were really obscure music questions, so I was happy they managed to solve them.”
Momo: Huh!? Doesn't it seem like Yuki was having fun?? Doesn't he seem like he's not even mad?? He sounds so pleased based on his comment!?!?
Tsumugi: Noticing Nagi-san’s displeasure, Gaku-san and Yuki-san  style their hair to look like Cocona's, of which Momo-san posts a picture on the internet, and Okazaki-san rushes to delete. He gives up on trying to control the situation, and drowns his sorrows in alcohol.
Tsumugi: This is where Okazaki-san's recollection of the events stops.
Tsumugi: Okazaki-san’s comment: “We’re a small agency, so I thought I’d let Yaotome Productions would do something about it!”
Momo: Okarin was as resolute as I expected!! I'm so impressed!
Momo: By the way, I didn't remember any of this, but weren't me and Yuki getting along really well up until this point!?
Tsumugi: Re:vale always gets along! I want you to remember that!
Momo: I need to remember... I need to remember...
Tsumugi: Around this time, an imitation contest begins.
Tsumugi: Team Hure Hure: Kujo-san, Gaku-san, and Yuki-san. Team MATSURI: Gaku-san, Tsunashi-san, Momo-san, and Okazaki-san. Team L&G: Tsunashi-san, Nagi-san, and Anesagi-san.
Tsumugi: This is where Anesagi-san's recollection of the events stops.
Tsumugi: Anesagi-san’s comment: “I regret nothing.”
Momo: Aaaah! I think I remember why I asked Nagi to come over now...
Momo: I didn't remember this either, but I'm glad she was happy, based on her comment.
Tsumugi: The topic shifts to the fact that Re:vale used to live together. Gaku-san, Tsunashi-san, and Okazaki-san keep casually suggesting that they move back in together, and they keep bashfully rejecting the idea. This goes on for the next 30 minutes.
Momo: (//▽//(//▽//(//▽//)
Momo: Oh geeeeez~ I don't remember that at all~ (*丿▽丿)
Tsumugi: Um...
Momo: Sorry!!!
Tsumugi: No! I'm glad you made up! ><
Tsumugi: Then suddenly, Momo-san erupts with a “Do you hate being with me that much!?”, and Re:vale begins arguing.
Tsumugi: Momo-san declares that he will move into the IDOLiSH7 dorm, and begins gathering the things he keeps at Yuki-san’s apartment.
Momo: No way???? I'm the one who got mad!?!?
Momo: At the meeting, I said there was no way it was me, and Yuki agreed with me...
Tsumugi: Nagi-san witnessed it, and he was sober ><
Tsumugi: It seems your fight shocked everyone. I'm glad no one got injured because of it!
Momo: I'd never hit Yuki! At least I don't think I would, but alcohol has terrifying powers, so I'll try to be careful!
Tsumugi: Yuki-san responds with “I’ve always thought I should rescue him from the Kujo family, so I’ll start living  with Tenn-kun.”
Tsumugi: Thinking that he’s going too far by bringing up Kujo-san’s delicate family situation, TRIGGER begins booing loudly.
Momo: Aaah! I think that's maybe going a little too far into Tenn's minefield..?
Tsumugi: As he’s being asked about possible vacancies in the dorm, Riku-san finds out about Kujo-san’s potential move.
Tsumugi: At this point, Kujo-san finally loses his composure. He makes everyone except Nagi-san kneel on the floor and think of what they’ve done.
Momo: That was bound to happen once Riku found out!
Tsumugi: Final report. Nagi-san slept in Yuki-san’s bed, while Tsunashi-san slept on the floor next to it. Yuki-san fell asleep while still kneeling on the floor. Anesagi-san took pictures of Nagi-san’s sleeping face. Momo-san fell asleep while gathering his things into a cardboard box. Gaku-san and Okazaki-san fell asleep mid-drink.
Tsumugi: Kujo-san’s final comment: “I guess I could compare this to being a zookeeper for a day?”
Momo: Tenn-chan, I'm really sorry...
Momo: Ah! I'm sorry to everyone! I really messed up...
Tsumugi: In any case, I'm glad both this drunken incident and Re:vale's fight were resolved!
Tsumugi: Which one of you apologized first?
Momo: Yuki's the one who gave us the opportunity to make up! He was so mad, but he still came to pick me up after a shoot.
Momo: The worried messages from TRIGGER helped push us forward, too.
Tsumugi: Everyone's been worried about you this whole time, and I'm happy Re:vale's made up, too!
Momo: I'm so happy to have such great juniors... I'm the one who should be setting an example to them...
Momo: I think one more meeting is in order later!! ><
Tsumugi: I think it's only natural that we'd help you make up, since we respect you so much!
Tsumugi: I'm very proud if anything I've done has helped Re:vale.
Momo: Goddeeeeess!!! ゜・。(。/□\。)。・゜
Tsumugi:
Tumblr media
Momo: I went to Yuki's place and it was left just the way it was after the incident, really dirty. Yuki had been depressed, so we had a lot of cleaning to do. I also took my stuff out of the box and back where it belonged!
Momo: Starting today, we'll do our best, as usual! I'll see you at our remaining shoots!
Tsumugi: Yes! I can't wait to see the rest of your performance!
Translator’s notes..? 
next up, ryunosuke’s 12 songs git rabbit chats!

Series: Collar x Malice Pairing: Okazaki Kei/Hoshino Ichika Prompt: Cold Embrace WC: 3706 Author’s Note: MAJOR SPOILERS for the BLIGHTED Ending for his route! This also involves a bit a content from the TRAGIC LOVE BOOKLET from CxM U’s LE (in a way, but regardless, what really counts is that this here? SPOILERS). I guess that gives away that this isn’t happy, if the prompt didn’t already. Anyway, I’m rather fond of Kei, and his Blighted End really, really got me. The booklet didn’t help either. There are things that are slightly different about this than the actual ending, but it’s still the same vein in all its painful glory. 
                                                                            ALSO READ ON -> AO3 !
Tumblr media
Please. Please. He’s never wanted something more in his life. He’s never... truly loved someone like her. So, why, why is the warmth she’s supposed to be so full escaping her? Why, why is the world that was slowly expanding collapsing in? How, how is the chill that envelops him fair at all? 
He wraps his arms around her, clinging, as if she’ll disappear. But she, she’s returning that strength, as if telling him to trust her, because she wants to trust him too. What echoes in these movements? What does he really want? What... does she really want? Curving her fingers more in his shirt, she knows his keen senses pick up her heartbeat, but how does it he interpret it?
She can’t tell at all.
“Okazaki-san..?”
“Mm..?”
He kisses the top of her head, he’s so close to her, the adorable “Neko-san” that became his one . But a question still rises from her, lingering on the tip of her touch before she manages to let it out.
“Why... Why do you feel so cold?”
Distant? His body? Whatever could she mean by that?
He pulls back a bit, so he can look her in the eyes, and smile his usual smile, “Because, Ichika-chan, my heart stopped when I thought I couldn’t see you..”
“Geez...” Ichika pouts, shaking her head, “that’s... not fair, Okazaki-san.”
“It’s because you’re no fair.”
He says it so casually that her heart feels like it, too, might stop. How embarrassing... but, there’s something deeper, something troublesome still brewing, as though this distance might solidify, as though his meaning of shielding her, even now, is for meaning.
“Well, with a face as red as that, you’ll warm me up, right~?”
“Eh..?!” She’s not winning this at all! Yet, that frost is worrying, ever still. She knows there’s a lot Okazaki must come to on his own terms, but if there’s any chance at all, that she can see this through to the end with him, then she wants to.
The words she can’t say yet, but she wants to. She’ll tell him when it’s over. Push through, finish to the truth, as far as they can. He, whose been by her side for all this time, how long can they live their lives? She wants to... be beside him, protect him just as he has her. Evenness, fairness, hope. For all the things that have been breathed, for hope.
For closure.
For...
It’ll be okay. I can’t run. I want to know the truth, and stop X-Day from happening. And... I hope that the time can come where Okazaki-san can be happy.
How can she manage something to put her at ease, so that they’ll keep working together, so that she can get to know him more, so that their days will not be numbered so? Think, think, think..!
Once she manages to pull back enough, and his hand moves to, as usual, grab her own, it hits her, and she tries to make the first move on it. Kei is faster, snatching her hands up, but she cannot back down now, she decides, in full, and fights to wrap her pinky around his.
“I see...” Kei says, nodding, “It’s no good to worry you at a~ll.”
Putting her lips together, Ichika returns the nod with assured determination. Where did her words go? Did the SP officer become a thief and steal them away?
“Okay~ One, two--” And Kei, not missing a beat, squeezes her pinky and rocks their hands back and forth just slightly, as he and Ichika begin the chant.
“Cut a finger... should you lie~”
Even when the gesture is complete, Kei doesn’t let go. Perhaps it’s because he had planned to hold her hand anyway, his entire body moving closer to her as he plays more and more into the fun he’s having teasing her. “Ehhhh? Wait... Does that mean if I break it, I’ll have to break my fingers? Ichika-chan, that’s cruel,” he frowns, but no one could call it real, by any means, “You’ll have to take responsibility if that happens and be my hands.”
“That’s, that’s not it, Okazaki-san!” Ichika quickly says, “A-And, wait, please don’t actually--!” Her protests are lost in the moment, and soon she gets caught up in his smile, finding herself going with the slight swing of their hands. Flustered, she tries to regain her footing in her words. Where does the seriousness begin and the seriousness end? Would he really be about losing it all for her?
Why?
Why?
Why?
A world without the other “isn’t worth living” would be the first thought but, really, if one is to pass, then who would be there to share the good stories, the bad ones, bumpy, smooth, even one encounter can impact a person, forever. There’s so much that they haven’t experienced.
“Mmn! It’s a promise.”
Given the time frame... please, don’t let the ice shatter.
---
The scene is has been set, arriving in the nick of time. Sanjou gives them their build to a finale, and now, in what looks like an abandoned church, in this underground hideout, Kei and Ichika face off their true opponents. Kei fires at their on-site leader, and at the same moment, another pistol is charged. Kei’s bullet? It hits his mark. But, it is silent to him, for only a single gunshot punctures the air, echoing throughout the near-empty corridors. The reverberation is piercing, causing the tension to rise even more. Harder to breathe, harder to think. Time seems to slow, even if it’s mere seconds. The truth of the matter does not escape him.
Indeed, he knows it, instantly.
The other bullet didn’t fly from her gun. And the knees hitting the ground? Those are hers.
“Ichika-chan!”
He rushes to her side. A swear, a promise, an oath, meaningless. How are they — how is he — worth a damn thing if he can’t even do the one job he has in this world?
Please. Please . He’s never wanted something more in his life. He’s never... truly loved someone like her. So, why, why is the warmth she’s supposed to be so full escaping her? Why, why is the world that was slowly expanding collapsing in? How, how is the chill that envelops him fair at all? Lips, quivering, trying to smile, trying to tell him that it’s alright.
“Oka... zaki...san... I... Pro... You... Li...”
Save you strength. Don’t leave me. You can’t die. You absolutely cannot die. I won’t forgive you, I won’t forgive you, for leaving me alone. So shut up. Shut up and focus on--!!
He hates that he sizes up the situation so quickly. She’s beyond help. That flame flickers out, and she’s gone. No longer will he see her smile.
No longer will he hear her laugh.
The tears he can never wipe again, the hand he will never hold again. He grabs it, it’s freezing. Her forehead lurches forward, and if it wasn’t for his own, she would have already fallen over entire. Limb, soulless, he can’t see her eyes, once such a lively green, but he knows they have lost their gleam.
He, he was supposed to protect her, not the other way around.
Why, why is he alive?
Why, why isn’t it her?
Why, why can’t he just... die?
He had told her, told her that it meant everything to him to have her there, supporting him. His most precious person, the one that helped open the treasure box he was missing, who so stubbornly stared back at him and got angry at him when he continued to bear things alone. The reason he promised himself into a future, that he wanted. All these words had been the only thing he could bake without burning to a crisp, but even that much failed.
Without her, what future is there?
He presses the barrel of his pistol to his head, swearing that it’s the only wisp of warmth left in this forsaken place. Yet, her words run through his head, and despite being so close, he press the finger that’s on the trigger down. Always being saved. Always using space. Things are simpler when he’s asleep.
Things were better with her in his future.
Maybe it’s her spirit’s hand touching his own, preventing him from letting everything else go. She, the one afraid of horror stories, becoming a ghost to make him remember her words, her will. Live... and share the memories... No matter how little, no matter how many more he wanted. What is he to do? How will he be able to do anything she wanted, when he was only beginning to see the sun, the moon, and the stars? When he was just waking up?
She’d... want him to try.
He broke one promise. The one to protect her. So, he absolutely cannot fail to carry out her last will. That is a cause... worth dying for.
Ah, that’s no good... She... would tell me it’s worth living for. But I wanted...
Kei lets out a weak, knowing laugh, and only does the sound of footsteps move his attention from her, to the source. Still, he supports her body as best he can, pulling his gun away from himself to aim at the new opponent. The one that must be the boss, the cause of all this. The reason she’s no longer able to fight the battle that she didn’t run from.
“You--! I’ll stop you and expose Adonis! It was her last wish, and she entrusted it to me!”
But speeches are merely speeches, and actions speak much louder. Yet again, bullet grazes the air, blackens the sky. Sharp, mere seconds, and then nothing but tunneled, fading, and the blurring hallucination of her in a plain white dress, stained, breaking, and floating away.
---
His eyes open slowly. Never has he slept so poorly. Funny, the man who can sleep with no problem in an alleyway, feeling like this upon waking. But, there’s reason for that. His body, weak, sore, as though he’s been lying there for months.
And if feels like he’s just come out of a nightmare.
“..! Okazaki-senpai!”
Hazily, Kei looks over to where the rather noisy voice comes from, recognizing who it belongs to as Yoshinari Hideaki, a fellow officer. By the looks of it, he’s been coming often. Has he been watching his heart beat, awaiting eagerly the day Kei will once again rise from the ashes. His faith, loyalty, despite the antics, is unwavering. The thing he just set down -- is that Kei’s badge?
“Yoshinari-kun, too loud~” He manages. If the younger didn’t know the true condition of his superior, then he’d be ready to bolt.
“A-Ah, yes...” Yoshinari does his best to lower his voice, but he can’t contain his relief that Kei is finally awake, “You... you were asleep for two months, Senpai. It’s February 26th. We didn’t think you would make it...”
But Kei, Kei is stubborn. He simply wouldn’t die that easily. Yet, somehow, he feels like he shouldn’t have been that lucky.
“Goodbye, Okazaki Kei. I sincerely hope your sorrow will be crystallized in this world.”
Where... did those words come from? No, he knows it. But he can’t believe it, or perhaps it’s because he hasn’t pieced it all back together quite yet.
Soon enough, he’ll be back home, in that big, empty apartment with the bare walls and the forgotten roomba base that he always forgets to dispose of, joking that he’s wanting for the little cleaning machine to return home. Perhaps he’ll go into his kitchen with the utensils that are barely used.
Wait, did someone use them? Is that why thinking of that stings?
“It’s past your birthday, so I went all out in getting you those really rare snacks for when you woke up. Never hurts to be stocked up..!”
“Yoshinari-kun, tsk, tsk, what did I just say about volume?”
“Forgive me for my absolute rudeness, sir!”
Really, he never learns . He’ll punish him another day. His mind is elsewhere, his heart elsewhere. It worries Yoshinari to see Kei like this, but he knows why. He understands. It had been serious back then, and even more so now. At least, he think he does, given the down that drapes him.
There’s plenty of things on his bedside table. Kei decides he’ll sift through them later. The others can be so sentimental. Though, among that pile of snacks, letters, and wrappings, there lays his phone, powered off. He feels the need, the need to hold it, to go back, to the days before he ended up in that coma.
It takes no time for the observant Yoshinari to see where Kei’s attention falls. With no reason to object, when he knows Kei will recall if he hasn’t already, given his scary good memory and overall power, Yoshinari powers on the phone and hands it over.
Once the phone is in his hand, it hits him that the small device freezing , foreign. His heart is racing. Him... anxious? It’s weird. He can barely get his fingers to cooperate, his grip so weak that he nearly drops his device. As soon as he hits LEAF, to check his past, to understand more about what he’s missing, what happened, he sees a name that causes everything else to go blank.
He can’t help but click on the message history, scrolling slowly. Each second that passes takes more and more away from him. The glass heart that was cleaned up, cracks.
[ FROM: ICHIKA-CHAN~ (♡ >ω< ♡) ]
Please, take care of yourself. It’s dangerous... and I’m worried.
[ FROM: OKAZAKI KEI ]
(´•ω•̥`)
[ FROM: YOSHINARI-KUN (*´ω`)o ]
Okazaki-senpai’s like a phoenix And a wolf! That’s why, Hoshino-san, I think he absolutely won’t die!! Yesterday, I--
[ FROM: OKAZAKI KEI ]
Yoshinari-kun~ (。+・`ω・´)
[ FROM: YOSHINARI-KUN (*´ω`)o ]
(╥_╥) Sorry...
Worried ... The exchange between himself and Yoshinari seems typical, but the rest involved... He recalls his mission, everything, but why is that part, the piece weighing so heavily, fuzzy? He reads more, to a section from a few days later.
[ FROM: ICHIKA-CHAN~ (♡ >ω< ♡) ]
ヾ(^∇^) Thank you, Okazaki-san! Good night. Sleep well.
[ FROM: OKAZAKI KEI ]
Yes, yes ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡  It’ll be lonely without you... but good night  Sweet dreams, Ichika-chan.  Tomorrow, I’ll be by your side again~
Everything is falling into place. It hurts, it hurts, so much that it’s numbing . He doesn’t stop reading, because he wants to be sure. He doesn’t even realize that he’s crying by this point, the wet lines falling left first, then right. But everything... is wrong. It’s really wrong. The worst, the absolute worst. Is it her, whose image flashes before him, sending a shutter down the spine that rarely did so?
[ FROM: ICHIKA-CHAN~ (♡ >ω< ♡) ]
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being reckless For going this far without saying anything.  But I, I don’t want to lose you. If I say I hate you, would you finally be free? Would you promise me to live a life for yourself? Live for your own choices and not duty Not with the end in mind. Please promise me that, for my sake.  I’m not running away from this, so I want you to trust me.  I’m going to fight until the very end.  We’ll protect each other. Okazaki-san, I want you to live.
“I..chi...ka...chan...”
Ah.
That’s it. The blur in memory, the reason for his heartache. The only person he had ever truly loved, gone. A pillar, the one he needed , gone. Was his subconscious blocking it to spare him? Ha, what length that lasted. As if he could ever truly forget her. A reset wouldn’t do anything for him, because the impact would linger. She’s stitched in the seams, forever.
“Hey, Yoshinari-kun...”
“Y-Yes, senpai?!”
“Is Ichika-chan alright?”
“A-Ah... That’s...” Kei can hear it in Yoshinari’s tone as he speaks. That typical, adorable , easy-to-tease pep dissipates, the seriousness sounds pained. Of course, the two of them know each other well. Even a couple months of being knocked off the job won’t change that. “S-She’s...”
He already knows the answer. He saw it with his own eyes. The reason why she isn’t here right now, the reason they won’t grow old together, until they’re a grandpa and grandma.
She wanted him to live.
“I... wanted to live with you.”
When you die, that’s it. Nothing... No sadness, no pain, but no joy either. No warmth...
“They... found this on her,” Yoshinari chooses an envelope that sat atop of the others on Kei’s bedside, handing it to him, “I took one look at the handwriting, and know it had to get to you, when you woke up..!” So he had fate that he would live... huh. Did he see that scene too, then? The aftermath of it... sorrow, destruction, she’s not here anymore, and everyone is sad.
His fault..? He, the one whose job it was to protect, failed. In turn, once again, he was protected. He’s Security Police . She wasn’t.
Kei carefully opens it, revealing a piece of paper, which he unfolds. A photo set slips out, but the words are what he focuses on first.
Okazaki Kei-san,
To the you who smiles, no matter how real it is. To the you who stuck by my side, who became part of my life. Thank you for this past month. Please, don’t let go of yourself. My last wish is for you to live on. Kazuki, Yoshinari-san, Yanagi-san, and everyone. You’re apart of their lives too.
So, to the you who has become so close. I give you my warmth. Writing this is embarrassing, but I have to say it somewhere. I’ve always wanted to tell you this.
Okazaki-san, I love you.
That’s why, you absolutely can’t give up.
For me.
- Hoshino Ichika
Her wishes, he needs to fulfill them, even if this pain weighs him, even if things will be different. There will never be another like her. So, even if he can pull off his usual step, will there be reason? Or will he be just as frozen, just as empty? Ahh, pathetic. Useless, meaningless, how can he do his job when he’s failed, so many times?
Finally, he makes his way to the pictures. These... He is unable to speak as he looks them over. One is blurry -- he remembers taking it with her and then sending it to her on LEAF, the other is a lot more clear, featuring people from Yanagi’s Detective Agency as well. Both have cute decorations placed around them. She’s... adorable...
There’s a few more words on the back, so he reads them.
I hope these will work until things settle down, and we can go into the purikura booth together properly. You said you wanted to, right?
Yes, he remembers mentioning that. With an ear-to-ear smile, he wrapped his arms around her back. Despite her I’m no good with technology,  if I can get a little of how cute you are, I don’t mind if the ghost wants to bomb it a bit~. protests, she looked right at the camera, and when he showed it her, he said that it’d look better if they could play more. She commented on how out of focus the picture was, and he laughed, “Mmm, Yoshinari-kun really does say Ehhh? Ouuuch, that’s mean, Ichika-chan, hitting my arm like that. It’s okay. He’ll only try to scare you a little bit... like... ...Boo!”
It’s silent in the room, following this, until Kei speaks a single word:
“...Unfair...”
Life isn’t great. Nothing is right now. These emotions bubble and burst, a storm that simply will not give up. Fear, fury, he’s caught in limbo. Why isn’t this actually a bad dream? If he closes his eyes, will he wake back up? Or if this is real, and the frigid taps that dance up his back are not a lie, then maybe he can go back to sleep.
Is this what others meant when they said it would hurt to have someone gone? Would she have felt the same for him?
“Good night...” Yoshinari says carefully. He’ll be back tomorrow, if he can. There needs to be observing. There needs to be time. “I’ll come again tomorrow.”
Separated, grieving, he’s not alone in this, if Yoshinari’s any indication. There will be offered hands. They won’t be hers, but the ones of the others important to her. There’s a little brother to keep company, a subordinate to tease, and a whole agency to banter with. Things will be different.
How much more sleep will he be getting? Maybe he can get those pillows she had, the really soft ones, maybe --
Haa... his head hurts. Too much at once. He has to stop.
Forcing a smile, running his tears, he blankly lays upon his bed. Tomorrow is another day, and recovery for his body it shall still make. He looks upon the empty space, imagining if she were there. Her voice, the promises he shares. Could he get through the next day, if he lived for her? Could he think about many more morrows, if he fought for her? Is just the memory of her strong enough?
He’ll try. She wants him to try.
To get past this. To be as strong as she was. He’ll pinky swear the air if he has to. It’ll all take time, but, little by little, he’ll try trust her words. That life can be better. That there are small things in the memories to share. That this pain means he really did experience love, and there’s still more emotions like this in store for him.
Hoshino Ichika stills grants him gifts, even now, even if she isn’t by his side anymore.
Kei sees her, again in that white dress, her head resting on the pillow next to him. Her eyes are closed, breathing soft. He moves his arm, weakly, only to watch it fall flat against the bed, instead of around her.
Desperation. Exhaustion. Perhaps everything keeping his body fighting, anything could have caused this. It does not alter what is.
“Hey, Ichika-chan, it’s really lonely without you...” His grin doesn’t fade, but a broken gaze feeds the man’s image, proving his entire soul drained, “So you have to double promise to be in my dreams~”
And gradually his eyelids shut, slumber once again becoming his best friend, his fondness of sleeping, and his ability, too, becoming his crutch. As darkness falls, his body closes, embracing nothing but the chilly night air, his imagination, and desperation, stuck on the warm bell of her.

Thank you for always writing superb headcanons, hope you two mods are doing alright :D I would like to ask how would the gang react if they meet the Collar X Malice gang? Lile Kei -Van, Mineo - Impey, Takeru - Fran, Aiji - Lupin and Saint G - Shiraishi? Shiraishi's route hurt like hell and I'm still not over him. If you havent played CXM its okay just discard this one
Mod Cheshire here! I just recently finished CxM so you’re in luck! Shiraishi’s route and short story left the biggest hole in my heart, you have absolutely no idea. To be quite honest, no other otome love interest has ever affected me in such a way :D so Shiraishi is a special case. Anyway! Enough of my rambling. I’m going to call this one Code: Realize meets Collar x Malice. As always, let us know if you want anything more! 
~Cheshire
Note: This headcanon is going to have some HEAVY spoilers for Collar x Malice, so if you have yet to play the game or aren’t finished yet, I strongly recommend not reading this. Just to be safe, I’ll be putting everything underneath the cut. 
Scenario: After a very long and complicated series of events (involving either magic or Fran’s alchemy), the Code: Realize boys end up in Shinjuku, during the X-Day investigations. Cardia and Ichika, both bonding over their poisonous circumstances, decide to take a walk around the town, leaving the boys at the detective agency to chat.
Arsene Lupin and Aiji Yanagi: It’s not that Lupin hates the police, they just rub him the wrong way. Aiji is no exception. Their conversation on the rooftop begins innocently enough (”What’s your name? How old are you? Why do you dress like that? Isn’t smoking bad for your health?”) but as soon as the conversation turns to profession, tensions rise. Aiji, being a former cop, finds it hard to believe that Lupin’s thievery is 100% innocent. When he finds out that Lupin’s first meeting with Cardia was basically a kidnapping, he could barely restrain his shock that 1. Cardia was still friends with him after all that and 2. that Lupin actually got away with it. Nonetheless, the two of them manage to bond over their mutual desire to protect those around them by any means necessary, even if they have to resort to violence.
Abraham Van Helsing and Kei Okazaki: The moment Okazaki lays eyes on Van, he knows that Van is The One™. Even though Van is a knight and more than capable of taking care of himself, Okazaki absolutely insists on protecting him. Van is, obviously, annoyed by Okazaki’s decision, but decides that it would be even MORE annoying trying to convince Okazaki to go away. They end up becoming rather close, despite being polar opposites. They manage to bond over their similar traumatic experiences and, shockingly, Van’s cooking. Okazaki’s taste buds must already be broken at this point in time anyway, so he always finds something tasty about Van’s cooking. 
Impey Barbicane and Mineo Enomoto: The OTP. The beautiful, heart-warming bromance that blossoms between these two is unimaginable. They just truly understand one another, y’know? They’re hopeless romantics and not extremely bright (when compared to their peers). Plus, Impey’s allergic to wearing two sleeves and Mineo’s allergic to seeing out of both eyes, so they have that to bond over. Mineo also completely falls in love with Impey’s cooking, rating it even higher than Aiji or Ichika’s cooking. In all seriousness guys, these two are absolutely the same person, just in different eras. Like. Come on. THE DESIGN IS THE SAME WHAT EVEN IS THIS.
Victor Frankenstein and Takeru Sasazuka: Their interactions are…interesting, to say the least. They’re polar opposites on every level, so Fran’s attempts at making conversation only invoke a pompous scoff from Takeru, who’s spent the whole time typing away at his computer. On the off chances that they DO actually speak, Takeru only refers to Fran as a dog and orders him around, much to Fran’s dismay. Takeru’s diet and complete lack of exercise worries Fran greatly, but because Takeru isn’t exactly the best at talking, Fran has to go to Aiji and Ichika to have any hope of getting through to Takeru. All in all, they don’t get along.
Saint-Germain and Kageyuki Shiraishi: Shiraishi is absolutely fascinated by Saint-G’s complete lack of self-preservation. Shiraishi has never met someone, with the exception of Okazaki, who has treated life and safety so flippantly before.This becomes especially obvious after Saint-G recounts his several near-death experiences as if they were fond memories of the Good Old Days. After having extensive and deep conversations with each other, Shiraishi eventually reveals his affiliation with Adonis and Saint-G reveals his part in Idea. This causes their bond to deepen exponentially and, after mulling it over, Shiraishi decides to turn all of Adonis in and officially ends the X-Day incidents before anything worse happens. The police love him for this, and he is absolved of all his crimes and allowed to be happy because he deserves it!

Firstly, I apologise that this is the only thing I have uploaded today and probably the only thing that will go up! I was out all day yesterday and so I’ve just been resting today. Really, I should have queued up more on Saturday! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Hoshino had received a proposal from her boyfriend which left something quite important left to do; telling Kazuki that she was going to get married. Of course the brunette was quite nervous as she had no idea how her brother was going to react to the news, but she had to do it, and besides, she wanted him to know. She walked into the apartment with her boyfriend, taking deep breaths as she did so. Luckily Kazuki was in and it didn't take long to convince him to leave his room so they could talk.
Aiji Yanagi – Kazuki looked at his older sister and Aiji, a look on his face which was rather calm. The two had been a couple for quite a while by that point and honestly, Kazuki approved of the older male. He knew that he could trust the male to look after his sister, so he wasn't all too worried. Though, he hadn't figured out that they were there to tell him news of engagement.  “So, what did you want to talk to me about?” The male asked, the usual irritation in his tone as though his sister had taken him away from something important, which she possibly had. “Kazuki, I wanted to tell you.... Aiji asked me to marry him, and I said yes” She said, unable to hide the bright smile on her face, that remained there, regardless of how worried she was about how her younger brother was going to react to the news. The younger brother was mildly surprised for a small amount of time. He could have seen it coming, though he didn't know it was going to have happened right then. Regardless, he was fairly happy for the two of them and honestly, he was glad that his sister had picked someone as reliable as Aiji. He knew that his sister was in safe hands and there really wasn't anything for him to worry about. Kazuki had no reason to complain, and he had no intention of trying to find any problem in an engagement between the two of them. “It took you long enough. I was wondering when you were gonna ask. I guess I'll have to get used to fending for myself even more so now” He said, feeling awkward as he didn't really know how to respond to the news. He was happy for them, but he wasn't quite able to express that. “And I guess, congratulations” He muttered, with his head turned away from the two to hide his embarrassment, caused by his words.
Kei Okazaki – The white-haired male seemed happy enough that he and Ichika were stood there, about to tell her brother that the two of them were engaged. His face didn't appear to be worried in the slightest. It was strange, though he seemed to find it more surprising that the brunette was struggling so much to say anything. “What were you so desperate to talk to me about?” Kazuki asked, his arms crossed across his chest as he glanced over at the two. He hadn't assumed it would have been about marriage, though he should have known to expect that sooner or later. Ichika nodded her head as she inhaled a deep breath and finally she explained to her younger brother that she and Kei were engaged and they would be getting married hopefully sometime soon. Honestly, Kazuki was surprised. He knew they had been together quite a while by that point, though he still wasn't sure about his sister marrrying Kei. It wasn't necessarily that he didn't like him, it was more that he was...strange. He didn't seem to think or act like the normal person would, and that did worry him a bit. It was probably because of that, Kazuki was unsure as to whether he wanted to treat that sort of person like an older brother. Though, he supposed that things could have been much worse. His sister could have been marrying a complete idiot so he supposed there was that. At least Kei would have been able to look after his sister. “Well, congrat-” Kazuki began to say. “So that means that I'll be your big brother. You can practice calling me it now, if you'd like” Kei said, his voice sounding innocent enough, proving that he hadn't realised that as much as he meant well, Kazuki really wasn't going to take it that way. That soon became clear as a more irritated look made it's way onto Kazuki's previously calmer face, having no intention of calling Kei his big brother. “There's no way I'm going to call you big brother! What makes you think I'm going to do that?!” Ichika could only hope that meant he wasn't too bothered....
Mineo Enomoto – If Ichika had been entirely honest, she was more worried about telling Kazuki she was marrying Mineo than if she was to tell him she was engaged to anyone else. She knew that his opinion shouldn't have mattered particularly, providing she loved the man. And yet, she felt that Kazuki's opinion was quite important and she could only hope that he would have accepted Mineo as his brother-in-law, even if it did take a while. Mineo was also feeling nervous beside her, she could tell from a mile away because he also really wanted the younger male's approval. “So what did you want?” Kazuki asked, clearly annoyed that he had been taken away from his bedroom to speak to the two of them.  Ichika took a deep breath, preparing herself to tell Kazuki. “Well... you see... I really needed to tell you something important...I'm.... getting married to Mineo” She sputtered, finally managing to get her words out. Kazuki's eyes widened the moment the words had forced their way out of her mouth, clearly having not expected that at all, regardless of how long they'd been together. “Haaaa!? You're getting married to...? I'm going to be related to that idiot?!” He asked in disbelief, not knowing how to react to the new news. Mineo's face dropped at the response. Given what Kazuki thought of Mineo, it shouldn't have been all that surprising and yet, it was. He had been about to respond to his words when Kazuki sighed and began speaking once again, albeit with his arms crossed across his chest and a less than happy expression on his face. “Well... I suppose that if that's what you want, I'll support your decision.... Though I'm still not going to refer to him as my big brother...” It was the closest thing to acceptance that they were going to get and they were well aware of it. Mineo had clearly noticed that as his eyes soon widened and he couldn't help but to happily wrap an arm around the younger male's shoulder and began gushing about how cool his little brother was, happy tears streaming down his face. Things were definitely going to get more interesting.
Takeru Sasazuka – As the two stood side by side, it was obvious they both felt very different about telling Kazuki their news. Takeru couldn't have cared less, he didn't understand why the brunette was so desperate to announce the news to her brother in such a ceremonious way and honestly, he didn't care whether the male was happy for them or not. Ichika however, couldn't have been more nervous, especially knowing that if Takeru showed how little Kazuki's acceptance meant to him, it was only going to make things worse. “So what did you want? You better make this quick, I was busy” Kazuki sounded calm, though it was obvious he was forcing it. Takeru had scoffed in response, irritated by the younger male and clearly having no intention of hiding that fact. Ichika couldn't help but to think that perhaps she should have done this when they were both in better moods.  It didn't matter how she felt, she was there then and there was no point putting it off any longer. “I'm sorry for interrupting you. I just wanted to let you know that myself and Takeru are getting married. I wanted you to know and I hope you can give us your blessing” She said and bowed to her younger brother, which only seemed to irritate both of the men, neither understanding why she was being so formal about things.  “I suppose now is the time you can really start to call me onii-sama” Takeru said with an arrogant smirk, not really caring how Kazuki would react by that point. Of course, that didn't go down well with Kazuki who instantly glared at the green-haired male, insisting that he would never refer to him as his brother. Needless to say, things didn't go well and Ichika got Takeru out of there as fast as possible to allow her younger brother to calm down, and it also allowed Takeru to do the same thing. Later that night, Kazuki was laid in bed, thinking about the news. He sighed softly and shook his head. He had no intention of lying and saying that he was necessarily happy that she had chosen to marry Takeru. However, she did appear to be happy, so he supposed he would deal with it. With that in mind, he opened his phone onto their messages and sent her one saying 'Congratulations.... though I'm still never going to see him as a brother....'
Kageyuki Shiraishi – Both Ichika and Kageyuki had been waiting such a long time to get engaged, and Ichika was quite excited to tell her brother. She felt nervous, she was bound to be, however, she hoped Kazuki would see that the male was a good match for her and besides, it wasn't as though they had rushed into things or anything like that. Though she was a little worried, mostly because she had no idea what her brother thought about Kageyuki. “So what is it that's so important?” Kazuki asked as he looked from his sister to the blonde male stood next to her. The blonde male gave her small hand a reassuring squeeze, having noticed that she was struggling to tell her brother. He didn't take offence, because he knew how important Ichika's brother was to her. “Myself and Kageyuki are going to be marrying one another” Ichika said and couldn't stop herself from smiling as she glanced at the ring from the corner of her eye, admiring how beautiful it was and knowing Kageyuki had the best taste. Kazuki couldn't help but to sigh, though the small smile on his lips suggested that he wasn't entirely angry. He noticed how happy the two of them seemed to be in one another's company as both of them couldn't stop smiling like idiots. He was glad to see his sister so happy, so really, there was nothing he could have been angry about, no matter how hard he tried. “Idiot. I thought you were going to tell me some bad news” Kazuki said, his arms crossed across his chest as he sounded like he was scolding the older female. He smirked upon noticing how worried she looked. It seemed she really did care about her little brother's approval. “Congratulations. I'm glad that you're so happy. I'm sure he'll make you happy enough”. He felt awkward about saying such kind things, though he wanted to. Kazuki wanted Ichika to know that he really was happy for her, despite how he may have acted.  He noticed a small tear which began escaping her eye but didn't really have the time to react as he felt her suddenly embracing her and he blushed in embarrassment. “Y-You don't have to be this happy, idiot! It's not like I said that much!” The younger male retorted, but couldn't help but to enjoy his sister's hug.
I’m feeling in between about this one, though I did really like some of them! I’ve learned a bit more about editing posts and whatnot though, so I know how to make my posts look prettier at the very least! Hope you all enjoyed.

Things That Make You Love And Hate Chrysanthemum Orange Flowers | Chrysanthemum Orange Flowers
Things That Make You Love And Hate Chrysanthemum Orange Flowers | Chrysanthemum Orange Flowers – Chrysanthemums were first discerning in China for a flowering herb dating back the 15th one hundred year BC.[11] Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by means of 1630.[9] By the year 2014 it was estimated there are now over twenty, 000 cultivars worldwide and about 7, 000 cultivars in China and taiwan.[12] The flower is renowned as one of the Several Gentlemen in Chinese and East Wok cookware art. The plant is very significant during the Double Ninth Festival.
Chrysanthemum cultivation began within Japan during the Nara and Heian periods (early 8th to be able to late 12th centuries), and gained level of popularity in the Edo time (early 17th to be able to late 19th century). Many flower shapes, colours, and kinds were created. The fact that flowers were produced and shaped in addition developed, and chrysanthemum culture flourished. The actual Imperial Seal regarding Japan is a chrysanthemum and the institution on the monarchy is also the Chrysanthemum Throne. Numerous festivals and shows take place throughout The japanese in autumn once the flowers bloom. Chrysanthemum Day (菊の節句 Kiku no Sekku) is among the five ancient sacred festivals. It is famed on the 9th moment of the 9th calendar month. It was started in 910, when the imperial judge held its initial chrysanthemum show.
Chrysanthemums entered American garden in 1798 if Colonel John Dahon imported a developed variety known as ‘Dark Purple’ from The united kingdom. The introduction had been part of an effort to develop attractions within Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Modern cultivated chrysanthemums are showier than their crazy relatives. The floral heads occur in different forms, and can be daisy-like or decorative, just like pompons or buttons. This genus contains many hybrids and thousands of cultivars formulated for horticultural requirements. In addition to the traditional orange, other colors can be purchased, such as white, blue, and red. The key hybrid is Chrysanthemum × morifolium (syn. C. × grandiflorum), derived primarily by C. indicum, but involving other kinds.
Over 140 cultivars of chrysanthemum get gained the Suprême Horticultural Society’s Prize of Garden Worth (confirmed 2017).[14]
Chrysanthemums are divided into two basic categories, garden hardy as well as exhibition. Garden healthy mums are new perennials capable of wintering in most northern latitudes. Exhibition varieties aren’t going to be usually as durable. Garden hardies usually are defined by their ability to produce a good amount of small blooms using little if any mechanical assistance, such as staking, along with withstanding wind and also rain. Exhibition varieties, though, require staking, overwintering in a fairly dry, cool setting, and sometimes the addition of night lights.
The exhibition varieties can be used to generate many amazing vegetable forms, such as huge disbudded blooms, aerosol forms, and many beautifully trained forms, for instance thousand-bloom, standard (trees), fans, hanging bins, topiary, bonsai, as well as cascades.
Chrysanthemum plants are divided into 13 different bloom forms by the US Nationwide Chrysanthemum Society, Inc., which is in keeping with the particular international classification system. The bloom kinds are defined anyway in which the ray and disk florets are generally arranged. Chrysanthemum types are composed of many personal flowers (florets), every one capable of producing a seedling. The disk florets are located in the center of the prosper head, and the kitchen tools florets are on often the perimeter. The kitchen tools florets are considered imperfect flowers, as they only possess the female the reproductive system organs, while the disc florets are considered perfect flowers, as they have both male and female reproductive organs.
Infrequent incurves are bred to produce a giant head called an ogiku. The disk florets tend to be concealed in cellular levels of curving beam florets that suspend down to create a ‘skirt’. Regular incurves are very similar, but usually with smaller blooms and a dense, globular application form. Intermediate incurve flowers may have broader florets and a less densely flowered head.
Within the reflex form, hard disks florets are concealed and the ray florets reflex outwards to make a mop-like appearance. The particular decorative form is similar to reflex blooms, even so the ray florets you should not radiate at greater 90° angle on the stem.
The aigrette form is completely double, of little size, and very globular in form. Sole and semidouble plants have exposed disc florets and one for you to seven rows of kitchen tools florets. In the anemone form, the disk florets are prominent, often raised and overshadowing the ray florets. The spoon-form storage florets are noticeable and the long, tubular ray florets tend to be spatulate. In the spider form, the disk florets are concealed, along with the ray florets are tube-like with hooked or barbed comes to an end, hanging loosely across the stem. In the wash and thistle wide variety, the disk florets may be visible.
In Okazaki , japan, a form of bonsai chrysanthemum was developed over the centuries. The cultivated bloom has a lifespan of 5 years and can be kept in miniscule size. Another method is to use pieces of deceased wood and the bloom grows over the rear along the wood to give the illusion from the the front that the miniature tree blooms.
