#I guess that one with Kiro was.. fine.

[fakegingerrights]

Breathe, Rest.

[Rex x Civvie!reader, set post Zygerria. Established relationship, just some good ol' hurt/comfort. TW for scars, I guess and partial undressing in a non sexual way.]

The 79's were crowded. The 212th and the 501st were both back on Coruscant for two weeks after their jedi were told to rest after a particularly dangerous mission rescuing an entire colony of togruta people from slavery.

Predictably, it had ended up all over the holonet. You sat at the bar, waiting for a certain Captain to come sweep you off your feet like he had promised last time he had commed before he set out to Kiros. You saw some of his men milling about the bar, Fives and Kix wave at you as you catch their eye, but no captain until-

"And who's a pretty lady like you waiting all alone like this for?" A familiar voice says behind you. You smile and take a sip of the drink you've been nursing as Rex's familiar presence settles in next to you.

"Oh, no one. Just hoping a certain handsome captain makes it home to sweep me off my feet." You shoot back.

"A handsome captain, huh? Do I fit the bill?" You turn to face him as he rakes a hand over freshly cut hair. In one place you can still see where the clippers had cut tracks through it. His cheekbones are prominent through his skin and his eyes are sunken and bruised underneath from poor sleep and even worse nutrition if you knew anything. Adding in the pale skin and chapped lips and you knew something was up.

"When you're running on more than fumes, Rex. What happened?" You ask. He's still in his armor, his blasters are still on his hips. Its absent of carbon scoring or patches in the plastoid, but it also doesn't smell like ozone like it normally does after deployment, and he definitely hasn't detailed it since he left, you can still see pink in the scratches of the top of his breastplate where you had left a lipstick mark as a joke. Rex sighs heavily, turning to face the crowd and leaning back against the bar.

"What do you say we get out of here, back to your place?" It's phrased casually, but you see the heavy look in Rex's eyes. You don't comment on how he avoided your question, opting to instead grab your purse and lean over to press a kiss against his cheek, startling him slightly.

"Lets." You answer. He offers a wan smile in return, following you through the crowd to the catwalk that lead to your apartment complex.

Rex lets out a long sigh as you two make it into your apartment, crouching doing to undo the seals that kept his armored boots in place before kicking them off. He works from the bottom up, and you move to help him get the clasps on his back and shoulders as plate by plate his armor comes off and is stacked neatly by his boots. You notice he's moving stiffly around the shoulders and he doesn't bend down, choosing to sit down fully on the floor to remove his shin guards and work his way upwards.

"You're hurt." You note softly as you pull his back plate apart from his breast plate so he doesn't have to move his shoulders as much. He grunts slightly in responce.

"Kix cleared me, it's beyond the help of bacta, apparently. Skin is fine, just some tenderness and scaring as the muscles heal." His voice is equally quiet.

"What happened, Rex?" You help him to his feet, wanting to move in to hug him but hesitating. He makes the decision for you, pulling you in close and wrapping his arms around you, like he could soak up your warmth if he tried hard enough. You return the hug, your fingers instantly finding and tracing unfamiliar lines of presumably scar tissue. It covered his whole back. He hisses slightly and you pull your hands quickly away.

"Kavado happened. I was sent with the jedi to find the Togruta, went with Kenobi." Realization hits you like a thunderbolt.

"You... You were on Kavado? The whole time Kenobi was... These are whip marks?" You pull back to look him in the face. "Your armor hasn't even been worn... Kriffin hell, Rex!" You're more mindful of your hands this time, burying your face in his chest as your throat constricts painfully.

"I'm alright now, Mesh'la. Just have to wait for the inflammation to go down and there'll hardly be a mark." He murmurs in your ear. "I'll be fine."

"I got you some sleepwear. If you want to go change out of your blacks. The left side of the dresser is officially yours. Just some sweats and loose shirts for now, once I have more wiggle room in my savings we can get some more every day clothes so you don't have to wear those itchy uniforms." Your voice is a murmur as you pull back and stand up on your toes a bit to kiss him properly.

"You don't have to do that. I'm fine wearing my greys." A gloved hand comes up to press against your cheek, the cool material of the neoprene smooth on your skin. You lean into the touch.

"I want you to have a place to go when the war is over. Here is as good as any. Have you eaten yet? I can get started on a late dinner while you go shower and change."

"Real food would be nice after a month of stale bread and water." He agreed. "I... yeah, that would be nice." He disappeared into your bedroom as you started to prep a light meal of plain pasta and hamburger meat. As you strain the water from the noodles you hear your name called softly from your room. Setting the pot on the stove and turning off the heat you peak into the room to see Rex standing in a pair of black joggers and the top half of his blacks, a crimson tinge to his ears.

"I... Can you get the seam on the sides of my blacks? I don't think I can pull it over my head like usual."

You step in close to him instantly, finding the cling-seal on the side of his blacks behind his shoulder and carefully separating them all the way down, exposing tan skin crisscrossed by raised pink lines as you guide his shoulders free of the thin material.

"You'd think they'd be easier to get out of than in to, with all the injuries that happen on the battlefield." You joke, trying not to stare at the mess of scars.

"We usually cut them off when they can't get out." He rolls his shoulders carefully, sighing.

"If you don't want to put a shirt on again you don't have to. It's just us here." You comment.

"You just like seeing me without it." Rex accused playfully, a bit of his usual gleam returning to his eyes.

"Guilty. And... are you sure you can't put any bacta on this? These look nasty and if they're hurting this badly..."

"There's no broken skin, topical bacta wouldn't do much... and I was a little hurried in getting out of the medbay. I had someone waiting for me." He turns and presses a kiss to your temple.

"You shouldn't skip medical attention just to see your girlfriend! I could have waited a few more minutes." You wag a finger at him, going to the dresser and scanning through the various lotions and perfumes littered on the top of your side before you found the numbing one you used when you were sore after a long day of work. "Pasta is still too hot, sit down." You motion over your shoulder to the bed. You hear the springs on your bed creak slightly as he sits down, staring at the floor between his feet as he places his forearms on his knees, hunkered over. It was almost comical if he didn't look so lost, such a large man curled up like that. You squeeze some of the lotion into your hand, feeling the instant pleasant tingling sensation at the contact with your skin.

Rex flinches away from you slightly as you sit down before relaxing. You press a kiss to his shoulder, avoiding the raised marks.

"You're safe here, Love." You whisper as you start rubbing the lotion into the scars across his back. He tenses up slightly at the contact before sighing in relief as the lotion takes effect.

"I know. This stuff is magic, where'd you get it?" He hunches shoulders forward so you have better access, groaning slightly with the movement.

"Over the counter at a local pharmacy. It's a muscle relaxant and numbing agent. Do you want me to send a bottle with you when you leave again?" You asked, carefully beginning to work on the muscles beneath the scars, releasing tight knots and watching Rex's reaction closely.

"You're already given me so much." He whispered. "I can never pay you back. You know this and give me more."

"You do pay me back, Rex. You're fighting for my safety every day, and you come home and sit by my side and bring me so much happiness. It's me who can never repay you."

"..."

He's silent for a moment, thinking about this before he finally speaks.

"I love you."

You answer without hesitation.

"I know."

Rex sighs as you pull away, catching and pressing a kiss to the outside of your wrist, careful to not get any lotion on his lips. "Thank you, Mesh'la." His golden eyes are so earnest it hurts. You crook a finger and tilt his chin up for a proper kiss, then pulling apart enough to press your forehead to his.

"I love you too, Rex. Always." You promise into the space between the two of you.

"Always." He echoes back.

Kiro’s Breathing Date Translation [CN]

Warning: The following date contains SPOILERS not yet released for EN/global server. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Little rant: I wasn’t planning on translating this date. When it comes to Kiro dates, I'm more interested to read ones that delve more into his backstory/character/lore/relationship development with MC and just based on the karma images alone, I thought it was just going to be some light-hearted silliness cuz a lot of Kiro’s karmas show him smiling and having fun and I wish the artist would just have more variety. There were so many other scenes in the date the artist could have illustrated but I digress. Then I realized it’s a top-up karma so the story must be somewhat decent and decided to give it a watch. As I was watching, I heard that one BGM from Inspiration date and Love Everlasting BGM. PG wouldn’t use those songs unless it was something heavy and emotional. To my surprise, I ended up loving this date more than I thought. All in all, don’t let the cute little rubber duckies and wet Kiro fool you. Anyways, that’s enough ranting, enjoy the date~ 😊

[Part 1]

Kiro: I’m sorry, do you know me?

The summer heat was isolated from the ward and the scorching heat on the windowsill could almost be seen through the glass.

I looked at Kiro in front of me, wearing a hospital gown.

-flashback-

MC: Kiro got hurt? What happened?

On the other end of the phone, Savin’s voice sounded regretful and anxious.

Savin: As he was walking down the stairs, he fell and hit his head…it’s all my fault. I wasn’t looking after him like I should have.

Savin: But he doesn’t want to stay in the hospital for observation. Can you come and convince him?

MC: I’ll be there soon!

After explaining the situation to my co-workers, I hurriedly rushed to the hospital.

Savin left the two of us alone. Kiro stood quietly by the window.

MC: Kiro!

Hearing my voice, he turned around.

My eyes carefully looked over his body. He didn’t seem to have any other injuries besides the large gauze on his forehead.

But the bluish gray in his eyes told me he was suppressing how tired he was.

Even his golden hair seemed to have lost its luster, lying dull and flat against his face, making my heart ache.

MC: Are you okay?

As soon as I asked the question, I sensed something was wrong.

The person who usually smiled at me and hugged me so many times in the past just stared at me, tilting his head with a confused look on his face.

-end of flashback-

My mind went blank for a long time until a hand was waving in front of my eyes and I came back to my senses.

Those curious eyes were so clear with no signs of teasing in them.

Lots of amnesia scenes from TV dramas and books flashed through my mind and I felt a chill settle in my heart.

MC: I’m going to get the doctor to take another look at you!

Kiro: No, wait.

He quickly grabbed my wrist.

Kiro: I’ve already been checked and I’m fine. And…I don’t want to see any more doctors.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes that made my heart skip a beat and softened.

Kiro: You know me, don’t you? Stay and chat with me.

He led me to the hospital bed and sat down. My throat felt dry as I opened my mouth to speak.

MC: You…really don’t remember me?

He came closer and looked at me carefully.

Kiro: I feel as though you’re very familiar, like I know you from somewhere…as if we’re acquaintances.

Kiro: And you were the first to come see me so I’m guessing you must be…

[Part 2]

He dragged out those words and when he met my gaze, his eyebrows perked up, full of smiles.

Kiro: My fiancé?

My face suddenly burned but seeing the slyness in his eyes, I vaguely felt something was off.

If something terrible did happen to Kiro, why didn’t Savin tell me over the phone?

That can’t be right.

Thinking of this, I squinted my eyes, lowered my head and put on a sad face.

MC: Actually, I’m…no longer your girlfriend.

Kiro: How, how can that be! We’re…

He was clearly taken aback but halfway through his words, he stopped talking after thinking of something then looked at me with sad puppy eyes.

I knew it!

I desperately tried to suppress my smile and sighed.

MC: We…have been seeing each other except you’re at the height of your career and your company has always been against us being together.

MC: It’s alright. You’ve already sacrificed so much for me…

Kiro’s frozen expression became a little flustered.

Kiro: What did I sacrifice!

MC: It’s not important anymore. Besides, you don’t even remember…

Seeing how “serious” I was, he rolled his eyes dejectedly and finally pointed to his own face.

Kiro: Why don’t you give me a kiss? Then, maybe I might be able to remember something!

MC: [not amused] …

Hearing his blatant “request”, I was about to reach out and pinch his ear. As soon as he looked up, the white gauze came into my view again.

My heart constricted. In the end, I gently held his cheek and gave those soft lips a light peck.

Just when I was about to pull away, an arm wrapped around my waist—

A familiar breath skillfully invaded mine, turning the mere brush of lips into a lingering kiss.

When our lips parted, he nuzzled my head in content.

Kiro: The energy has accumulated and my memory has been successfully restored.

Kiro: But…MC is being so stingy and still thinks she can leave me.

MC: Who’s fault is it exactly to pretend to have amnesia and scare me half to death?

Kiro: Don’t be mad. I was just doing a bit of…roleplaying. I didn’t expect you to figure it out so soon.

MC: Naturally, I’m the most familiar with Kiro’s little roleplaying act.

I pulled him to the side of the hospital bed and gently stroked the side of his face with my fingertips.

MC: How on earth did you fall down the stairs?

Kiro: I was writing songs all night in the recording studio. As I was coming down the stairs, I yawned and felt lightheaded…

He laid his head on my shoulder as he played with my hair with one hand while muttering aggrievedly.

Kiro: It must have been scary. I didn’t expect Savin to ask me to stay in the hospital for observation and to call you…

MC: It’s because you’re not paying much attention to your body.

MC: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Didn’t your new album win an award? I didn’t even have the chance to congratulate you!

Kiro: Hehe, thanks Miss Chips.

Kiro: …So, what do you think about the new album?

MC: It’s very nice! Especially the song “Midsummer Passion”. I have it playing on loop all day.

Kiro: Really?

His eyebrows furrowed as he smiled but I could tell it wasn’t his usual megawatt smile.

MC: Of course! But your new album just released so why are you writing songs again?

There was a hint of sadness in his blue eyes, but before I could take a closer look, it disappeared.

Kiro: Because I want to bring more amazing works to the soda pops (aka his fans).

He happily shared his accomplishments with me as if what I saw just now was my imagination.

After such a long day, I repeatedly told him to take it easy today and left the ward.

I kept feeling that Kiro was hiding something from me. With this doubt in mind, I dialed Savin’s number.

After hounding him for answers, Savin finally told me what was going on.

Savin: In fact, not too long ago, some people on the Internet were spreading rumors about Kiro’s award-winning new album.

Savin: They were saying the album was mediocre, that he has exhausted all his talents, and only won the award due to his popularity alone.

MC: That’s nonsense!

Savin: Although preference is based on personal opinion, there are still some fans who have been brought into the discussion. Not only do they feel that Kiro’s new songs lack feeling but they’re agreeing with the rumors.

Savin: And that’s why recently he’s been locking himself up every day writing songs and sometimes he wouldn’t even eat.

Savin: You know how he is once his mind is made up. No one can stop him. So I was hoping you can find a way to help him.

Thinking of Kiro’s forced smile from before, a plan quietly sprouts in my heart.

MC: No problem. Leave it to me.

[Part 3]

In the dimly lit underground parking lot, I lowered the brim of my hat and stared at the gate waiting for Kiro to exit the press conference.

A golden head appeared at the door. Kiro skillfully sat in the back seat , taking off his hat and mask, looking a bit weary.

Kiro: The studio.

I straightened by sunglasses and started the car without saying a word—

“Operation: Kidnap Kiro” has officially commenced.

The car drove steadily over an overpass. I glanced in the rearview mirror and found that Kiro who had his eyes closed suddenly open them.

Kiro: Driver, are you in a bad mood today? Why are you driving so fast?

MC: There’s no traffic so it’s okay to speed.

I lowered my voice an octave. He yawned and lazily looked out the window.

Kiro: But you’re going the wrong way.

MC: Your agent has arranged other itineraries for you. Why don’t you check with him?

Kiro: Huh? Savin didn’t mention this to me.

I slowly felt a weight on the backrest behind me as his voice drew nearer to my ear.

Kiro: I heard that the driver who came to pick me up was a burly man with arms as big as my calves.

Kiro: You don’t fit that description.

MC: …

Hearing his thoughtful analysis, I giggled.

MC: It’s too late now. The door’s locked so please do cooperate with me.

Kiro sucked in a sharp breath.

Kiro: [overly dramatic gasp] As long as you don’t hurt me, I’ll do whatever you want.

Kiro: Whether it’s chocolate-covered nuts or charcoal-grilled chips…I can give you all of my private possessions.

The heat on my face left a burning trail as I met his twinkling eyes in the rearview mirror.

MC: Is my acting that bad?

Kiro: It’s still the same but I’m the one most familiar with MC’s bag of tricks.

Kiro: No wonder Savin was being so mysterious today. There really is a “conspiracy”.

MC: Savin said that your schedule is free after finishing the press conference and to let me take you somewhere to relax.

MC: So—you can’t escape.

Kiro didn’t say anything for a while. The slight hesitation in his eyes reflected in the rearview mirror vanished. When he met my gaze, he was full of smiles.

Kiro: Why would I want to escape?

Kiro: I’ll gladly fall into your trap.

Soon we arrived at our destination—Starry Seaside Park.

A variety show was filmed here yesterday and I managed to reserve the venue for an extra day to hold a celebration party.

The people gathered here were close-knit friends of Kiro so he doesn’t need to feel too restrained.

After changing my clothes, I found Kiro standing by the pool, holding an inflatable ring. A handful of fine sunlight shone onto his blonde hair, shining brightly.

MC: There’s going to be a water roller competition in a short while. The team who comes in first will win the mystery prize.

Seeing Kiro’s eyes light up with interest, I pumped myself up.

MC: We’re here—

I stretched out my hand and he took it saying.

Kiro: To claim first place.

A lifeguard was already on standby and more than a dozen inflatable rollers were floating on the water’s surface.

As soon as the whistle blew, we began to push hard against the inner wall of the drum. The drum quickly found its own rhythm and rolled steadily forward.

However, maneuvering it was more difficult than I thought and it wasn’t long until I was starting to feel out of breath.

My skin was sticking to the plastic heated by the sun making it stuffy and hot as my hair stuck to my face with sweat.

Seeing the other players gradually overtake us, I became worried.

Kiro: MC, relax. Find your balance.

Kiro’s voice was slightly out of breath and at the same time, a song began playing in the background of the park.

The lively and upbeat tune was the song from his award-winning new album- “Midsummer Passion”.

Feeling the beat of the drum in my heart, I adjusted my breathing and made a fighting gesture to Kiro.

MC: Come on, this song is my secret weapon to victory these past days!

What I received was a smile brighter than the sun.

Kiro: That’s all I need to hear.

Putting pedal to the metal, we found our rhythm again.

The melodious song drove the atmosphere of the audience to an intense climax and I could even hear many voices cheering us on from all sides.

Kiro also seemed to be infected. His eyes shone like stars and the water droplets hanging from the ends of his eyelashes sparkled in the sunlight.

Not far away from us was a water slide before the finish line.

Listening to the sound of the water rushing fast, I nervously held onto Kiro’s hand.

MC: What if we don’t make it…

Kiro: Don’t be afraid. In the final sprint, I will take care of Miss Chips’ safety!

The roller undulated on the water and we were finally close to first place.

Kiro: MC, are you ready?

MC: Absolutely.

He gave me a charming smile.

Kiro: 3, 2, 1- here we go!

He kicked hard and the drum suddenly accelerated and flew down the slide. The brief feeling of weightlessness made me gasp.

An embrace hotter than the summer heat held me to his chest as Kiro immediately adjusted his pace and stabilized the roller.

The sound of waves crashing and people cheering gradually faded away. Only the sound of our hearts beating were left in this small space.

There was a forceful push and the roller crossed the finish line, hitting the protective net.

Kiro: We’re number one!

He looked down at me. Warm, crystal sweat fell from his eyelashes and landed on the tip of my nose, igniting something in my heart.

Our staggered and rapid breaths steamed up with heat, arousing every nerve of my skin—

Kiro: What’s my prize?

[Part 4]

After the roller races, water battles, and beach baths were over, I changed into some dry clothes and went to the small private pool I had reserved in advance.

Kiro had also changed into some casual clothes and was relaxing on the big inflatable ring, merging into the unique landscape of little yellow rubber ducks floating around.

His soaked bangs blocked his eyes so he casually slicked them back.

The blue sky made his azure blue orbs even more clear.

I didn’t know if it was because of all the fun he had just now but he seemed to have more a lot more energy than before.

A rubber duck bumped against the inflatable ring and Kiro picked it up.

Kiro: [cute, adorable voice] Hi~ How do you do~

He pinched its fat belly and made a grunting noise in response.

Kiro: It looks like you’re also here on vacation to get away~

MC: Pfft—

Hearing me snicker, he squinted his eyebrows in pleasure and paddled with his hands towards the shore where I was.

Kiro: Why don’t you join us too, MC?

MC: I’d love to but you can invite your new “friends” to join us for the next event.

I took out the guitar hidden near the pool. Under his surprised look, I sat on the bank and cleared myn throat.

MC: Welcome to MC’s exclusive summer concert.

Inhaling deeply, “Midsummer Passion” floated out from my fingertips.

Although I practiced many times at home, I was still nervous and ended up playing a few wrong notes under Kiro’s attentive gaze.

But he just listened closely, entranced.

When the final note was played, I slowly released the breath I’ve been holding.

MC: Thank you to the person who wrote this song and bringing me the most wonderful summer throbbing.

Kiro climbed out of the water and sat beside me.

Kiro: Can the concert have small guest segment?

Kiro: I also have a song I want to play for you.

Taking the guitar from me, his slender fingers skillfully plucked the strings and the smooth notes blended into a pleasing melody.

However, as I watched Kiro play, I felt a certain uneasiness I couldn’t explain.

After the song was over, he looked up at me.

Kiro: This is a demo I wrote at home recently. What do you think?

MC: It’s lovely. The melody of the chorus is brilliant and better than just some ordinary pop song. It’s more memorable except…

I hesitated and asked what was on my mind.

MC: Is this the actual song you wanted to write?

He was stunned then lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Kiro: I really can’t hide anything from you.

MC: Although I’m not a professional musician, I do listen to your songs every day.

MC: I felt that this song just now was missing a bit of Kiro’s soul. A little restless like…

MC: You were in a hurry but wanted to prove something at the same time.

He fiddled with the strings on the guitar and after a while, he said in a low voice.

Kiro: You heard what Savin said…

He closed his eyes like he was being covered by a heavy rain cloud.

Kiro: I know a song can’t be liked by everyone so I should just try to be myself.

Kiro: Only this time, many fans, like me, also feel that the new song is subpar…does this mean that I’m not as good as I used to be?

Kiro: That’s why the next song has to be better than this one.

Kiro: Over and over again, I feel it’s still not good enough…

Kiro: I know I’m lost and I should stop and think more calmly but…

There was some doubt and a bit of loneliness in his eyes.

For creators, the sense of accomplishment is an overly comprehensive sentiment. That feeling to share with the audience, to be seen and recognized.

It will pay tribute to those who keep trying but it will also crush them.

Those mixed voices are like a loud, disorderly undercurrent, threatening to overwhelm him.

Kiro’s fingers have become a little cold and I saw the slight line quivering at the corner of his mouth. I jumped into the pool and stretched out my hand to him.

MC: Kiro, hold your breath.

He looked at me, confused, but did as I said.

Seeing his surprised look, I dragged him into the pool and with a splash, we sunk together underwater.

The water completely drowned out the noise of the outside world. Kiro and I opened our eyes and stared at each other quietly.

The world was dim and silent and only the two of us were left.

When we came back to the surface, our clothes were soaked through to the core.

MC: Did you feel some of your troubles being washed away by the water?

He closed his eyes and placed my palm against his face, as if trying to draw some kind of power from me.

Kiro: I want….to do it again.

Before I could stop him, he took a deep breath and dove into the water.

Fragmented light shimmered like ripples on the water’s surface.

Time passed by but he never resurfaced.

I became a little worried and took a deep breath.

In front of me, I saw Kiro’s body stretched out like he had fallen to the bottom of the water. He frowned and closed his eyes.

Waves from the water refracted the sky, creating layers of light patterns around him.

Like a pair of gentle hands, caressing him delicately, brushing away those disturbing thoughts from his body.

Maybe because of the lack of oxygen, his face looked a little miserable like he was about to be crushed at any moment.

I couldn’t help reaching out to him—when I touched his fingertips, I was forcefully met with a pair of blue eyes that almost blended with the water.

At that moment, the shredded spots of light kept flowing and the furrow between his eyes suddenly loosened.

Our bodies floated along with the waves as we slowly merged into a vast ocean.

His kiss was soft. In the stillness and suffocation, it was like a small world had been opened.

The exchange of breaths made my heart beat more and more intensely and in this closed space, everything was set free.

When we broke the surface, I clung weakly onto his shoulders, breathing heavily.

Kiro held my waist with one arm and gently caressed my back with his other hand.

Kiro: I don’t know why but I always knew you would come.

After a long time, his slightly hoarse voice came from the side of my ear.

Kiro: When I was underwater just then, I had that same feeling like I was in the studio.

Kiro: There were muffled noises all around like I was left alone in the world.

His cool thumb trailed from the tip of my brow to the corner of my lips, carefully tracing every part of my face.

Kiro: I was even wondering if it would be better if I stopped struggling to find oxygen and just let myself be swept away by the current. How pathetic.

I tightened my arms around his waist, bringing our bodies closer together.

The heat from our skin penetrated through our cold, wet clothes and travelled to every inch of our blood vessels.

Kiro: Then you appeared.

Kiro: When I saw you, I realized…*sigh* I seem to be able to breathe again.

He took a deep breath and pressed his cold forehead lightly against mine.

Kiro: Without you, I’d probably be swept away by the current, not knowing where I’d end up.

Kiro: MC, you’re like…another kind of oxygen for me. ***My God, my heart!!!🥺***

I cradled his face and tenderly brushed away the hair from his face.

MC: I can’t do much for your creation but I know how Kiro is like.

MC: I also know what his work is like.

MC: Kiro will never become water. He is the one and only one who decides where the water will flow.

MC: Whenever you can’t see yourself, I can see you better than anyone else, so—

MC: Believe in the song you wrote. The courage and strength it brings are not only for others but also for yourself. ***YES, YOU TELL HIM, MC!!!***

Kiro leaned his head against my shoulder and chuckled lightly.

Kiro: It seems I have to start the new song from scratch again.

Although he said this, there was no frustration in his voice. Instead, it was full of fighting spirit and anticipation.

I threaded my fingers through his velvety, soft blonde hair and slowly followed the trail of water downwards.

My fingertips lightly brushed the nape of his neck until they finally stopped at his lower jaw as he let the strength of my fingers gently lift his head.

MC: Does it still feel like you’re underwater?

His hot breath slowly came closer, mingling between our lips and melting into a murmur.

Kiro: I have enough oxygen now.

Kiro: [whisper] But I want a little more. ***His dates constantly end this way too 😣😣😣***

-End-

[camuslittlesister]

All the Okita in Otome, ranked. Or not.

I had a bit of a hiatus while dealing with real life and shit, but I finally got around to playing all the games I know have been translated into English. Here’s the ultimate ranking of all the variations of my otome husbando.

Destined to Love (Cybird)

Please please please can you pull this app and redo it as Ikémen Bakumatsu with Yamada doing the art? I cannot deal with Okita, Sōji Okita of the Shinsengumi, whose swordmanship is nothing short of legendary, looking like some edgy marshmallow. C’mon, guys. You’re taking all sorts of liberties with history already, why stop there and not make him look the part? Just make Hijikata even hotter, everything will be fine.

Era of Samurai: Code of Love (Voltage)

Still one of my favourites even after venturing into the realm of premium games, although he looks too much like Leon for my liking (I guess that’s what you get with Voltage and also a byproduct of my refusal to even contemplate ever liking that lion even though, like for Iori in SITS, I clearly do and I just refuse to admit it, although I did exactly that a moment ago). His modern AU stereotypical indie kid version is everything. It’s like they made him for me.

Hakuoki (Otomate/Idea Factory)

Why do I love this Morikubo-voiced jerk more than my actual life? I have many questions to ask of myself and I don't even know if I really want to know the answers, but I have spent about £50 so he can be on my wall alongside another less jerky Morikubo character in what is slowly and not deliberately turning into a shrine to the man himself since his characters dominate my merch purchases. (Author’s note: This post has been a cumulative draft over a year or so, and I wrote this pre-Piofiore. It’s only gone worse since)

Hakuoki Sweet School Life

The god of chaos and love of my life. That’s it.

The Amazing Shinsengumi

Side note, what is it with games making Harada the hot one? Also let me romance this Hijikata please and thank you.

He’s hella cute and double-faced, which I tend to like, but also he appears to go through every trope I don’t like in the span of a conversation. 6/10, although solid 10 for looks. In fact, make it 20/10. Top 3 for looks with Voltage and Hakuoki.

Ninja Shadow

I keep forgetting that I did play this Okita (and it was my first while at that...) but even with that dream ponytail it’s not the greatest version. He’s a jokester, which is fun, and he hides a big dollop of angst as it’s right and just, but he was a bit OTT with the humour and it’s a strange storyline that does him a disservice.

Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi

If he doesn’t threaten to kill you is he even Okita? I’m living for that one CG that looks like he is Kondō and Hijikata’s kid, but aside from it being probably the most historically accurate of the otome portrayals (at least in localised games) he started off a bit of a disappointment for the same reason as Destined to Love. He was also not helped by the fact that Shinpachi has a brain, Sakamoto and Yamazaki exist and (omg, can’t believe I’m saying this) Hijikata and that line about loving his woman in Sanan’s route. However, when actually playing his scenes etc, he grew on me. I would happily go raise cats and babies with him like I would with his Hakuoki and Era of Samurai incarnations.

Dateless Love

I have questions. Why is this version Iba’s lovechild with Saito?

Why is he like Gin in Ayakashi Gohan if he was a soldier? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a major sucker for lovely characters going full on deadly from a moment to the next, so I’m digging it, I’m just extremely disoriented because Voltage is my canon Okita personality (Hakuoki took that and turned it up a notch and ruined my life in the process) and every deviation I’m like “new number who dis?”

It took him 10 chapters to show a hint of the teasing we all know and love. TEN. Out of like 15. I have had three kids with Tokugawa by now (and I don’t even do blondes. Except Ayumu. And best boy. And omg I’m still in the Kiro phase but also could be a Helios phase soooo 🫣 okay, fine, I do blondes). It was really cute tho and I watched him die in the good ending which is a plus.

How come the anniversary event is just traumatizing MC on repeat khvdtxvgjtdx,,,,,,,,,,

#The guys outside of the event are very happy about it . but shit has just been hitting the fan over and over again #I guess that one with Kiro was.. fine. #I mean things were burning and shit but he was okay and so was MC. other than her having no clue what was happening #and the explosions being really loud. #Technically nothing bad ever happened with Shaw. BUT. #The future image she got sounds so awful????? I'd probably have a panic attack seeing that?? #And what is she supposed to do? Get off and leave the driver? Make him stop entirely? #What is she supposed to say to Shaw??????? How does she explain to them that something bad will happen without seeming just super paranoid?? #.txt #Phoenix.txt #many thoughts. #Y'know Victor being unable to use his powers adds on to the idea that the ''culprit'' is someone MC knows well #Not to mention she said they sounded familiar. #My two guesses are Lucien or Kiro. #Kiro does pretty good with faking his voice. #But Lucien had once mentioned wanting to ''study''/learn more about people with evols #I'm really not sure who it is. I wish it wasn't either of them but.. #I'm reading really deep into this game I don't think I was supposed to but I can't help it #Like in one of the city stroll events with Lucien he seems pretty upset until MC spoke to him #My guess is that one of .. them (idk who they are.. bad guys ig) had just finished speaking with him #He got pretty defensive about his feelings involving MC. I'm sure he's rlly worried about putting their lives in danger (more than it #already is) Like.. If he told MC what was happening and they found out? They could /both/ be targeted/killed #No wonder he's so upset about the entire this. No matter what he does nothing really seems like a ''good'' or ''better'' outcome #What is he supposed to do?? He wants to and will protect MC but if they suddenly label him as a ''traitor'' #Things will become so much harder. #🎤 #🌠 #📘

MLQC Housemates with MC Having Toxic!Father

AU: MC's Dad from the game is her stepfather who later became her adoptive dad so toxic!father is her birth father (I won't disrespect game PaPa) Game Dad is PaPa and Toxic!Father is Dad

TW: Angst, Toxicity, Blood, Asshole Parent

Victor - Red, Lucien - Purple, Gavin - Blue, Kiro - Orange, Shaw - Green, MC (You) - Pink

They were under the impression that your birth dad was the one you took over the company for

They were surprised to find out he was your stepfather that became your adoptive father after your mom passed away but they could tell you saw him as your true father

The few things you mentioned about your birth dad was he's alive, present in your life, and you send him money

"I wonder why Miss Chips doesn't say much about him."

"Probably just aren't as close."

When you told them your dad was coming to visit for a few days and probably staying over the boys were happy to show their hospitality considering this was your dad

They wanted to impress the love of their lives' father

Victor was pissed when he found out the guess room was being used as storage

Mainly Kiro, Shaw, and you had to clean and donate stuff under Victor's supervision since it was mainly your stuff you guys lost your dessert privileges for awhile

Everyone was so busy cleaning the house that they realized later that throughout the process you never spoke highly of your dad and seemed nervous

"I just been busy that's all. I'm totally fine!"

When they first met the guy he seemed to be an okay man, Kiro and you gave him a tour of the house, that's when Kiro realized such awkward tension you kept giving out as you and your dad talked but don't worry Kiro's an amazing talker!

All the boys came home and met your dad they chatted in the living room with a movie playing as the dinner feast was being prepared

You told Victor you would finish the rest of the meal preparation by yourself, he denied but gave in when you smiled at him that you wanted some alone time

The dad seemed to be okay who was tough man inside and out that had a lot of stories to tell and seemed to care about his daughter

Things began going downhill from there

You called everyone to eat and they sat down to enjoy the food as they talked about their day and get to know your dad

They would talk and that's when your dad's behavior became noticeable

He seemed to be "Mr. Know It All" when tried to tell Victor and Gavin on HOW TO DO THEIR OWN JOBS but also passive aggressive comments of him looking down on Kiro's idol profession

Victor made this guy freakin steak and this is how he is repaid by being told how to do his job from a guy who just watches videos on financial

Kiro and you are trying your best to shift the topic and keep the peace

Deeper into dinner your dad begins making jokes throughout about you being about your weight, the way you dress, how you use people

He antagonizes you and your parents a lot

"Hope this one has been growing vertically not horizontally."

"Getting another bite already. What's up, fatty?"

"My daughter doesn't care about me. She just uses me."

That was only a few out of the jokes he told and don't forget the inappropriate ones

Who cares if their jokes if they're antagonizing to someone and just plain mean and also your dad is the biggest one here who's eating the most

Trust me no one is laughing at them and you're trying to play it off but they can tell how hurt you are (can't take a hint that no one likes the "jokes")

"The puddings ready. You can have some right now."

"It's okay. I'm not hungry anymore. I'm going to bed now."

You are really hurting inside as you try walking away fast enough not be seen crying and not even hungry to eat pudding

Everyone is left there eating with this asshole, they just want to get this dinner over with

Gavin hates him more than anybody as not only the way he talks to you but how he's reminded of his own dad

When Shaw makes the same body "joke" to your dad, they have never seen a man get so aggressive so fast before

Once your dad is fed up with Shaw and goes storms off to the guest room is when they clean up fast to go check up on you

"Thanks for ending that dinner, Shaw. If you didn't get him mad, I would have."

"I don't care who he is. Glad that the asshole is gone."

"I can see why Miss Chips doesn't really interact with him much. Why doesn't she say something about it to him?"

"Many children with parents like that feel trapped due to feeling of being indebted to them. She could be acting that way in order to not escalate the situation."

"As much as we don't like the man, we have to be polite for the few days he will be here."

They all go to your room to see you laying down as you blow your runny nose in the dark

Kiro immediately jumps in bed to give you the biggest hug while the others soothe you until you're ready to talk

You mention how he's like this with the antagonizing, rude jokes, and his temper and it being the reason your mom divorced him

Everyones face scrunched with anger as you weren't looking at the thought that this was going on this entire time

For the next few days luckily you've been busy with work to be around him, he was also busy with seeing friends but it still didn't stop his behavior and jokes when no one was around

As much as you wanted to run away from the conversations you couldn't because you were scared of what would happen

It was until one day when Shaw came home before anyone else to hear really loud screaming from a man, he was about to rush to see what was happening until you walked past him

"Welcome home. I'm a-almost done... finishing lunch. Do you want to help out?"

He's never seen you like this with deep red eyes, cheeks tear stained, legs heavily shaking, and snot dripping down

You walked to the kitchen with Shaw trying to convince you to slow down as you weren't in the right state to be cooking

Shaw has never been in a situation like this before so he didn't know what exactly to do, he made the mistake to take his eyes off you to try and call one of the guys

The moment you yelped in pain he immediately dropped the phone, you had tried to cut something but your hands were shaking so much and eyes blurring with tears that you cut your hand pretty badly

Shaw hugged your shaking body tightly as you covered your mouth from sobbing, outside began to pour with rain with heavy thunder

"P-please don't tell my-my dad. Please don't tell him!"

You were carried to the closest bedroom and the farthest from the guest room (Gavin's), Shaw made sure to lock the door

Kiro then Gavin then Lucien came home one by one and immediately panic as they saw a cutting board along with a knife stained with a lot of blood

Shaw ushered everyone into the bedroom and have Lucien properly put what little gauze they had over your deep wound already cleaned with alcohol

Lucien: Please, buy more gauze when you get home. We need it immediately. We're all in Gavin's room.🦋

Victor: What happened? Hardly ever text each other. Almost home, I'll make a quick stop.🕰

When Victor immediately enter Gavin's room, Lucien practically yanked the gauze from his hands to wrap around your hand, it dripping with blood, Gavin wiping away your tears, and Kiro staring at his IPad screen with AirPods in

"What happened?"

"My-My dad got really mad when I-I told him I really didn't like his remarks. That I felt I w-was stepping on eggshells with him-him. He got really mad that I was being se-sensitive and ungrateful, I wasn't try-ing to."

The way you chocked out an explanation as tears poured from your eyes as your hands shook in fear and pain

Victor asked Shaw and Kiro to step outside the door for a moment, he wanted a better explanation

"I came home and heard full on screaming from her dad that I wasn't even close to where they were. That was only the end of the screaming I came home to. MC tried acting as if she was okay and went to continue making lunch. I took my eyes off her for a moment that she cut herself when her hands were shaking. She begged me not to tell that asshole."

"I have security camera footage of the screaming. It's...It's really bad. Miss Chips said that she really didn't want him in her life but was scared this would happen. She said this is common with him."

Kiro's IPad showed the whole incident how you expressing your hurt and discomfort caused your dad to go screaming at you at the top of his lungs as you stood there apologizing and shaking in fear

"FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!"

"I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!!"

The three's blood ran cold at listening to him screaming with you crying in the background

Everyone laid in bed with you as you rant your feelings, past traumas and they're shocked at the things they're hearing

"He once banged on my d-door with all his strength because...because he-he didn't like that I would close the door."

After you confirmed you no longer want your birth dad in your life and fell asleep, the five men stormed over to the guest room where your dad was

Gavin cop knocked banged on the door and believe me how furious they were to see your dad

Victor gave the most intimidating voice he's ever given full of assertion and anger when telling birth dad he needs to pack up because he is no longer welcome in this house or near you

They couldn't believe this man when he threw a tantrum saying it was just an argument...excuse me argument

"Arguments are a disagreement between two individuals. Not one screaming at the other as the individual stands there in fear."

This guy was really not leaving and even trying to get pass them to get to you

Before Gavin or anyone were on the brink of committing assault charge, Kiro used his evol which shocked them as Kiro hardly ever uses his

"I command you. All within my range of control belongs to me. You will now leave this house and never return. Do not contact any of us. You will also cut off all ties with your daughter, forget her contact info and address."

The man immediately packed up all his things in a hurry as he was under Kiro's evol, they could see in his eyes of him forgetting your info and the location of the house

Victor called an Uber to drive the man to be dropped off in the city, as the car drove away they knew you were finally free from the man

During the rain this man should be careful with lightning strikes as it doesn't choose it's victim...or does it?

You could finally feel at peace when deleting his info from your phone and you no longer sent him money

[ Summer Palace x MLQC Collaboration PV ]

English translation under the cut!

Please accept a voiced guided tour from “him”.

[ Garden of Virtue and Harmony -  德和园 ]

Tour Guide: Kiro

Miss Chips, are you here yet? 

Now, your tour guide will bring you around the theatre of the Garden of Virtue and Harmony. 

If you're lucky, you’d be able to watch a Beijing opera performance on stage. 

When I was filming here before, I happened to watch a show. The effects were incredible. A miraculous thing was that even though the audience seats were pretty far from the stage and the actors weren’t wearing microphones, the sounds were especially clear and bright. Their voices were rich, smooth, and beautiful. 

Back then, I was really curious. How did they do that? I asked so many people. 

In the end, someone dressed like an envoy in the Summer Palace told me that the lower segment of the stage is a huge aerial structure. A 10 metre well on the inside, along with five pools, are used to amplify the sound effects through acoustic resonance. 

I remember that there are many more exquisite designs in the Garden of Virtue and Harmony. [sighs] It’s a pity that I can’t remember the principles behind them. 

Eh, why don’t we ask together?

[ The Marble Boat of Purity and Ease - 清晏舫]

Tour Guide: Gavin

There are many people in this scenic area during the holidays. Remember to stick close to me. 

We could head to Kunming Lake in the southern end first. There will be fewer visitors there, and it’d be more convenient for you to take in the scenery. 

If you walk along the west dyke, you can see the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and the Nanhu Island. You’d get better photographs from here.

Walk across the Jade Belt Bridge and keep walking north.

That’d be the Marble Boat of Purity and Ease.

I heard that the evening breeze is really soothing. I’m guessing you’d like it. When the time comes, we can stay here for a while longer.

But the Marble Boat of Purity and Ease is a boat made of stone. If you want to ride a boat, we’d have to head over there - the Shizhang Pavilion.

In the middle of the lake, we can view the scenery from a different perspective.

It doesn’t seem like my first time here?

Mm. I did my homework before setting out and inspected the place in advance.

Oh yes, I heard that the Kunming lake freezes over in winter. If you feel like coming then, we’ll come together.

[ Long Corridor - 长廊 ] 

Tour Guide: Lucien

The Long Corridor is a must-see for visitors to the Summer Palace.

It’s also one of its most popular scenic spots.

This place is always crowded.

Aside from tourists, quite a number of elderly who stay in the vicinity enjoy relaxing and having idle chats here.

When I was searching for information, I came across an elderly mister. He often sat along the Long Corridor, not talking to anyone. He simply stared at the coloured paintings on the wooden beams and spent the entire day looking at them. In total, he spent around five years documenting all these colourful paintings.

Afterwards, he made a book which exclusively introduced the coloured paintings in the Summer Palace.

Before I came here, I purchased the book and brought it along today.

Later, we can follow the book while walking through the Long Corridor, and look at the charm of the colourful paintings which captivated this elderly mister.

What do you think?

[ Hall of Benevolence and Longevity - 仁寿殿 ]

Tour Guide: Victor

Right now is the best time for osmanthus flowers in the Summer Palace to bloom.

Standing at the door of the East Palace is sufficient to smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

You picked a good time. Looks like you did prepare to the fullest.

During this time each year, the staff of the Summer Palace would shift all the osmanthus trees outside.

They’d decorate the entrance of the East Palace, the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, stretching all the way to the Long Corridor. 

As long as it doesn’t rain, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers can linger till the end of the Golden Week.

However, autumn isn’t at its richest right now at the Summer Palace. Red autumnal leaves will be seen a little later.

I heard that the staff don’t immediately sweep away fallen leaves on the ground. Instead, they’d wait for the moisture in the leaves to lessen before doing so, in order to prevent a fire hazard. 

This tradition of the Summer Palace is called “delayed sweeping”. It’s meant to allow a semblance of autumn to linger for another month.

You find that there’s a sense of ceremony in this?

That is in line with your usual principles.

In that case, once we’re done strolling through the palace area, let’s walk towards a place with more greenery.

[ Suzhou Street - 苏州街 ]

Tour Guide: Shaw

Head down the steps of the Cifu Archway, walk past a white stone bridge, stay close to the stone bridge and head towards the water on a flight of narrow and steep steps, and you can enter Suzhou Street.

Doesn’t hearing this make it easy to find?

It’s okay even if you can’t remember it.

Just follow me and you’ll be fine.

The place I’m taking to you right now is a mountain path from the Gate Tower of Dawn Light towards Suzhou Street.

This place overlooks buildings on the east.

Here, this is the place.

From this angle, you can take photos of the river and two streets, and even a small bridge that stretches across the river.

How is it? Not bad, isn't it?

Typical tour guides won’t take you to such unique routes.

When we reach that side, we can take the water route.

I’ll let you experience how it feels to use water as a street and land as a market - this is a unique trait of the Jiangnan District.

What other places are you interested in?

I can take you to all of them today.

I’m pretty familiar with this place. 

You’re in luck.

With him, see the beautiful scenery of four seasons.

Replies to assorted asks and messages

So, as promised, I’m going to attempt to reply to all the asks. I put the replies all in a single post because they overall regard all chap 309/310 and I wouldn’t want to submerge anyone with them.

Also, normally when I do post more asks in a single post I just place a photo of the ask in it, but this time, since there are so many, I also transcribed them in case the image won’t load.

Sorry again for my lateness in replying to everyone.

Hello. I hope I have misread the previews of chapter 310. I must say that seeing Ogata die saddens me very much. but if what is seen is Noda's project, I think she is an idiot as an ending to this amazing character. I understand that it's hard to keep the level of a plot high but making it so rambling is really hard to do. what a disappointment. A greeting

I’m sorry you’re sad. I can’t reassure you saying you had misread something because Ogata really died in chap 310, which I guess by now you’ve seen in the scanlations.

I fear I can’t offer you comfort, seeing a beloved character go is just sad.

I am sad too although, what I wish the most, isn’t he had saved Ogata, but for the whole thing to work differently.

I was grief-stricken when Kiro died and the same goes for when I believed Ariko died or when Kikuta died or when Boutarou died but I could let it go because the whole thing was written differently. I’ve watched plenty of characters I love, I know the pain of losing them from when I was a little kid and stumbled upon “Misunderstood” by Florence Montgomery and “Little women” by Louisa May Alcott. No probably it was even earlier than that, when, as a preschooler, I watched Astroganger die. It’s sad but in it comes also the ability of the author in making it happen in a way you can still feel ‘it works’ and it becomes a good kind of grief that emotionally ties you to the story.

For me this didn’t happen this time. Even more than the sadness of losing Ogata, I felt anger for how his arc was handled to the point if I had known in advance this was where we were heading, I would have been more fine with him dying of poison in volume 19 because all he was used for in those volumes that followed was merely to tip Koito about how Tsurumi was the one behind Hanazawa’s death and his kidnapping and then… nothing. Part of his character was retconned, his actions were unclear, his death is rushed so that the plot can move on.

It’s like Noda wanted to kill Ogata in vol 19 but kept him alive to tip Koito and then had no idea what to do with him, dragged back in the story Vasily, which also did nothing whatsoever and ended up having a  rushed death and then, finally, killed Ogata too so the story could go on how he meant for it to go. At least, I might be wrong of course but for me it felt like that and the fact that a character I loved for how engaging and intriguing he was ended up stopping to be so is extremely disappointing.

Sorry if this is not of comfort and ultimately I ended up venting to you. I hope the pain of losing Ogata will go away.

Anonymous asked:

Just to say I totally agree with the gay fan service part in your ramblings, I feel like the fanbase only talks about this instead of the actual scenario and that’s really sad to see. I also appreciate the FMA reference as I always wished for GK, one of my favorites to get an ending as incredible (probably the best ever imo) as FMA. However, if we keep going with the manga comparisons, it does not ruin my whole appreciation of the manga like other « bad » endings did. Cant explain why but it surely will if « that ball in the head » happens to Ogata lol

Well, credits when it’s due, the fan service is loved in each fandom and OSugi or SugiO is a really popular pairing in this fandom so I get why they would talk about it. As I’m probably the only person in the fandom who doesn’t care with who Ogata or Sugimoto end up, for me it falls flat, especially in such a moment but I can see why others would totally love it.

“Fullmetal Alchemist” is absolutely awesome! It’s really too bad I got into it too late. If you’re still enjoying the story I’m happy for you, it’s bad when the story stop being enjoyable so I hope that it’ll never happen to you.

Anonymous asked:

Wow... just fucking wow. I have no words to describe my emotions about what I saw. The fact that several important characters have been sacrificed in the name of the plot device to trigger a particular event, that one of the most clever characters who has survived a lot of shit is left as an imbecile waiting for Sugimoto to kill him because memes is something I don't know how I should process.

For me the problem is the story went in ‘easy mode’.

Characters can and will die in a story but in the endgame it’s usually not out of bad luck but because the enemy overpowered them in a hard struggle that’s why in the endgame you usually use the ‘hard mode’ because it makes their deaths painful but, at the same time, rewarding and more easy to accept.

Although they’re still sacrificed for the plot, they feel as part of it, and not victims of it, just used as devices to carry the story on. At least, that’s how I feel. We’ll see if this will carry on till the end or if Noda, in the last volume, will change things.

Anonymous asked:

Quite sad that I went from waiting anxiously for the unfolding of the story and, especially, the characters, to simply ocasionally checking who died in an uncreative way. The decline has been undeniable since they arrived at Goryokaku. 310 ain't gonna be pretty. That being said, the journey was incredible.

Yeah, it’s sad how, to me, it felt as the story was going downhill and Goryokaku only made it even more evident. I wish we could have said goodbye to our beloved characters in a different way.

@howtodestroyacharacter asked:

I've seen chapter 309 translated. If before I could have had some doubts about the fact that the character of Ogata was badly closed ... now I am sure. Now it would be nice to understand if the motivation is economic (the funders of the project as "anime" have not seen the desired results) or if over time the author has developed a personal annoyance towards this character. An end that is ridiculous. in the last few chapters Ogata has been: an idiot, a hallucinating madman, a poisoned lucid ...

I don’t think Noda hates Ogata, I think he has long planned this… but he hasn’t managed to develop it in a convincing manner. We know the story took various times different directions from the ones he originally planned… we’ve seen the canon incongruence like how the convicts started to kill each other after they escaped only no, wait, they all survived to the slaughter, even Ueji and Prisoner Number 1 who’re so weak and at the very best only 1 died but actually we’re not sure and his corpse was taken by… Wakayama? Really? Hijikata, Ushiyama, Sakamoto and Boutarou let him get away with one skin? Or the skin count which was messed up and even the OFFICIAL timeline listed facts in the wrong order, we’ve read the interviews in which he saw he changed some things and we’ve seen the differences between the magazines and the volumes but this is likely the tip of the iceberg. There are probably much more changes below but the result is they made less coherent the original plan and we ended up stuck with this, something that leaves open tons of questions, feels like a retcon and is just easy for the plot.

Anonymous asked:

[1] To be really honest, i'm actually enjoying those last chapters, the only thing that really gets me worried here is... WHERE IS TANIGAKI? Honesty, i don't mind if Noda decide to kill him in the ending (even that he's my favorite character), but i can't accept that he died falling from the train with the gunshot. I still hope that he return someway so he can have a better ending, being death or alive. But honesty, if the last time that we're going see him is with that...

[2] But honesty, if the last time that we're going see him is with that scene where he was shot... There is also some other details that i wanted to see from other characters, but i guess it was things that i was with high expectations. But anyways, i'm still enjoying those last chapters... And i'll really miss GK when it ends (sorry for the long text)

Supposedly Tanigaki fell off the train after receiving a bullet in his back. If it went through it, it got to his intestines and Tanigaki will face a slow and painful death. If it stopped on its spine it might have broken him and he’s alive but paralyzed from his waist down. The bullet seems to have gone through him so Tanigaki should die a slow death but Tanigaki is Noda’s favourite so, who knows, maybe it manages to survive without any big damage and Noda has merely conveniently moved him out of the danger zone.

It’s great you’re enjoying the chapters, I wish I could do the same but, honestly, I can’t and I really didn’t expect this, to stop enjoying a manga I loved so much.

@violentmaiden asked:

Rushed over here after reading chapter 310 and I just... there are just no words. It truly saddens me to see the direction Ogata took. Such an interesting character, I truly liked him through all the terrible stuff he has done.  I won't say more in case you read this before chapter 310 but I look forward to your reply when you do. I can almost here the boss music lol.

I’ve read chap 310. There’s not really boss music because at that point my expectations had dropped so much I didn’t care anymore and if Ogata has just slipped from the train, broken his head and had an explanatory death dream instead than an hallucination break up for me it would have been all the same. What can I say? Half of the mysteries that were built up around him weren’t explained but just ‘happened’ and Noda was in a rush to get rid of him so as to continue with the story but he has to protect Asirpa’s ‘purity’ and this happened. Whatever, let’s see if all this rush was at least worth getting to the final chapters.

Anonymous asked:

Hello, I love what you do and reading every week what you think of each chapter with the "ramblings and crazy theory time", I've been following you for a while now. I was wondering if you had read the last 310 chapter that came out? I think that Noda has put in place some good ideas but there is this feeling of wanting to rush the story and it spoils the scenario a bit, I find it sad personally.

PS: I can't get over this last chapter

I read the last chapter and I agree with you. There are some good ideas he foreshadowed through the story, like Ogata actually feeling guilt toward Yuusaku’s death and this being the reason why we couldn’t see his face but ultimately it’s an easy way out to tell a story instead than show it and kill a character so the plot can go on without anyone of the main characters facing backlash for his death. But that’s it. We’ll see what Noda plans to do with Tsurumi.

Anonymous asked:

Ueji Keiji did not die, he makes plot for Noda now. It is so disappointing we can only explain it like this.

I understand your feelings but I think the difference between Noda and Ueji is that Ueji disappointed people on purpose while Noda clearly miscalculated. Except for Conan Doyle there are hardly writers who would risk disappointing their fans that close to the end out of the fun of it. The success of “Golden Kamuy” will not only insure Noda income for the volumes, the anime and the gadgets tied to it but also it might be tied to him getting a better pay for his next manga. So really, I don’t think he displeased us on purpose. It’s his first endgame.

In “Supinamarada!” for his own admission, he messed up the start and so his story got discontinued and he used this mistake to make a better start for “Golden Kamuy”. From “Golden Kamuy” he’ll probably learn to make a better ending. We’ll see.

@okapimstari asked:

This train reminds me of the "Train to Busan". They're all dead on it and all immortal as zombies. But seriously, what if this train is their personal hell? And then thanks to his guilt and the "ghost" Yuusaku Ogata was finally able to get out of there. I also think that Ogata is probably the first and only person in this story who committed suicide for the sake of suicide itself. Please, correct me if I forgot someone from other characters.

LOL, it would be interesting if they all were to turn into zombies now but yes, this is clearly meant to be a train to hell, a reference to Sugimoto’s catchphrase he’ll have VIP seats on it.

Well, the story had characters who wanted to die but they actually fought till the bitter end. We’ve Henmi, who wanted to be killed by Sugimoto but didn’t just made it easy for Sugi but made him work for it, Sekiya, who wanted to be struck down by God himself and again, didn’t make things simple for Hijikata and Kadokura at all and Youichirou, who yes wanted to die before his brain were to leave him, but still attempted to fight with Hijikata and only when he was fatally wounded stopped fighting.

If I’ve to search for something similar to what happened to Ogata the closest thing is, of course, post Karafuto, with Heita who, to stop his other bear personality from killing other people people, somehow manages to stop being controlled by his bear personality that much that was needed for him to deliberately trig the amappo into killing himself. And the reason he suffered of split personality is, apparently, because he wanted his family dead as they were greedy and wasted all the gold he collected and he was guilty of taking home and hiding where everyone slept the remains of the prey of a brown bear, which lead the bear to  came there and murder his own family except him, who was saved by the Ainu.  At least this was said in the changes in the volume version, the magazine version skipped how Heita caused a bear to come there and just said one day his wen kamuy killed his family.

Heita’s suicide was also pretty convenient because Heita was a good guy with mental problems who didn’t mean to harm anyone and it would have looked bad on Sugimoto if he had killed him, even if in self defense.

So yeah, I guess Heita too is meant to parallel Ogata, along with Ostrog and Ueji, at least in his death… in a fashion.

Hey, i dont usually interact with people on this site, but i wanted to say ive really enjoyed your breakdowns, and found them very useful. I dont always agree with you, but it does show me the more intricate details of this story, and some of the failings. Tbh i had no expectations for this ending arc, just cause i couldn't even guess how this would end. Ive been enjoying it, and honestly im glad i experienced this story at all.

I’m glad you enjoyed my breakdowns and that they were of some use to you. Not agreeing is fine, it’s not like I own all the truths, sometimes I mess up interpretations rather badly. If you’re enjoying the story I’m happy for you! That’s great to enjoy a story and I only wish I could do the same with “Golden Kamuy”. Who knows, maybe the next chapters will surprise me. We’ll see.

@deepfriedegg said:

The "something that's been bothering me for a while finally got resolved" is referring to chapter 187, when Ogata uses the same wording. So it is about the fact he's bothered by Asirpa's sense of morality and decision to not kill people, but now she has decided to kill him. As to why he "can't die quite yet", it's for his goal of leading the 7th division, which is why you see the panel of Tsurumi with the land deed. Pretty sure that's the explanation!

You might be totally be up on something, I wouldn’t have said it was a reference to chap 187 because for me, that something got solved in chap 188, when (by mistake) Asirpa shot him and Ogata grinned as if this was proof she too can kill and he has missed it was a mistake. But yeah, the wording is the same so, despite his grin, evidently he was still bothered. Thank you for your input!

And yeah, since later developments proved Ogata can’t have an ulterior reason, evidently he was really putting his trust into Tsurumi helping him out since the story retconned his distrust of Tsurumi. Tsurumi’s Tsurumisexuality made another victim. So yes, I’m willing to bet you’re right on this one too. So, again, thank you.

@howtodestroyacharacter said:

Good evening. I found your analysis very interesting. I share the unpleasant feeling of Ogata's character's rapid closure with a literary artifice. Moreover, bringing the character out of his character. Compared to you, I fear that Ogata's death does not end with chapter 310. Golden Kamuy has shown us unlikely resurrections and I am afraid that Vasily, who we did not see die, may find him in agony and do something with him. I add that, as far as I understand, in t

The fun part is it seems Noda has used various convicts to parallel Ogata’s death, as if to prepare us to it, and if I realized it sooner I would have realized sooner as well it was going to be a trainwreck because Heita and Ueji and EXPECIALLY Ostrog didn’t really impress me much to say the least… and I would have preferred for him to prepare us less and work more on the whole thing instead. I’ve heard there’s this theory going around that Ogata might be still alive. I’m honestly not a believer but I might be wrong. With the way the story goes, for all we know it might turn Ienaga is actually still alive and will come to eat Ogata and Vasily both and then will acquire sniping abilities and be the one who shoot down Tsurumi. Just joking of course, I understand your fear but I don’t really feel up to think how Noda could make this worse... and I don’t think he wants to, if only for the sake of sales.

I’m glad you do!

@artist-assassin​ said:

agreed. ogata has always been my fav and even though i could understand if he died in the end or didnt get a happy ending, it seems so ridiculous that he might die so early without clearing up ANY of the loose ends (of which there are many) surrounding his character. it almost seems like he went through a great character arc and then reverted back to his original self in the end :/

Yes, I get not everyone might care about the loose ends but there are fans who were interested and, if there were no plans for those loose ends to be developed it was better not to include them at all. In this way it seems they were just things that happened at random, without reason whatsoever. In short ‘easy mode’ again so that the plot could advance even when Noda didn’t know why the characters would come to act such way.

Also, I don’t want to think committing suicide in such situation could be a ‘happy ending’. It’s still a suicide just after a man has a mental break up. But whatever, it might be a cultural thing so people might disagree with me.

@arsfantasia89​ said:

I agree so much with your analysis of this final arc. Plot wise there were too many easy conveniences & it definitely feels rushed. Ogata was such a complex & interesting character and this “train ride” is greatly disappointing. If he dies now and we are only left with the lame excuse he gave Tsurami, it will be a shame. Everyone’s death had an effect on Asirpa (turning to water) & yet we are supposed to smile like Sugimoto did that she may kill him? It feels conflicting. And I miss Hijikata :’(

Yes, Noda used to write much, much better in the first 20 volumes of the story. Ogata got simplified down, plot threads were left loose and he just conveniently removes himself from the plot just because so the characters won’t have to do it. And yeah, it’s really not a good thing Asirpa sacrificed her ideals and decided to kill and attempted to do so and then the story still protects her purity by causing Ogata to die by other means. Although she’s my other fave character, if she could aim at Ogata and shoot him with the intention to kill him, I would have preferred that she had succeeded than this.

@next-futtture said:

Disagree completely, golden kamuy is a story driven by plot, just bc it focused on different characters it doesn't mean we should spend 10 chapters crying their death. We knew they would die, I adore them and some were my favs but I dont want senseless drama, I need to know who tf gets the gold.

Hum… I don’t know if you want a reply, so forgive me if this is not the case. Disagreeing is fine, of course, but I’m not sure where you read I wanted us to spend 10 chapters crying about their death or something similar? If you refer to the plot, I don’t know where you got this impression and sorry if I gave you it but I really don’t want this. If you refer to personal reactions everyone is free to mourn characters as much or as little as they want and I don’t really patrol their feelings. I don’t think anyone want SENSELESS drama, so you’re not alone in this, but people might have interest different by yours and not care about who gets the gold but about other things. It’s a matter of tastes and de gustibus non disputandum est.

A Special “Souvenir”: part 4

NSFW (finally)

MLQC: Victor X MC (featuring Kiro)

Potential Spoilers!! smut and fluff! The last three parts were world building fluff, yk basically my headcannon. If you like smut that has established characters with relationships, then this is for you!!

Perspective Switches: I like to occasionally switch the perspective to one of the boys, in this case being Victor and Kiro. You’ll notice it when there is a double space break in the flow of the story. All I’m doing is switching to what I think would be a more interesting perspective to read the events from. When the double space ends, we switch back to MC perspective.

Word Count: 3.1k (oh man)

Part 3 link

Part 4

“What would the lovely couple like to order today?” questioned the always smiling Mr. Mills.

Calling you two a couple shocked you, and Kiro too by the way his knee jerked and slammed into the table. You thought you heard a grunt from the kitchen, thinking it was funny even Victor was bothered by that simple statement.

“Ahhh, can we have another minute or so?” Kiro said in a slightly pained voice, attempting to convince you he didn’t just hit his knee on the table. “There are just so many delicious options and I’m having trouble deciding”.

Mr. Mills warm smile never faded as he spoke. “No worries, I’ll come back in a few minutes then.” 

Although you were having the same problem as Kiro, you knew for sure you wanted some of Victor’s pudding. It had been 2 months since you last convinced him to make you a bowl, using the fact that he called your report “Alright” instead of “Not bad” as reason enough to reward you.

You only just now realized you had forgotten to correct Mr. Mills on his incorrect assumption that you and Kiro are dating. It was already too late to say anything, and denying it now would make things awkward. Besides, you knew that you were here to platonically enjoy dinner with your friend, so what others say shouldn’t bother you.

Oh but how it does bother you.

You looked towards the kitchen, wondering what payment Victor had in mind for the two of you. You were thinking he’d make you run to the market to pick him some fresh produce like last time. But then again last time you two had a moment. Or well, you thought you did.

The way that question accidently slipped from your lips. The way his eyes lingered on yours for so long while he inched ever so closer to you. 

“Victor, have you ever been with someone from work?”

You felt your breathing slow a bit; you were nervous. He was your boss, and you had figured he would never consider you since you worked together, and well, because you were pretty sure he didn’t think of you in any way besides a friend.

But that one moment made you feel like maybe, just maybe, he reciprocated your feelings, even if it was just a little.

Coming back from your daydreaming, you realized Mr. Mills had returned. Kiro’s voice was directed to you.

“______, is it okay if I order for us both? I think I have a good idea of what you’d like”.

“Oh, yes, that would be fine, thank you”.

You once again turned your head towards the kitchen, swearing you caught a glimpse of the elusive chef. You were itching to see him, even though you were not excited to hear him complain about how you failed to turn in your report.

“Does that sound good with you, ________?”

You snapped your head back to Kiro, and shook it. What did you just agree to?

The wait for the meal was tedious. It wasn’t like you didn’t have anything to talk to Kiro about, but because you were already so distracted by the semi-lewd thoughts of your boss, your heart wasn’t really in the conversation.

Kiro noticed this, wondering what he was doing wrong to make you this uninterested in him. He quickly decided to change the topic to something he figured you’d like better.

“How was the producing of the last Miracle Finder Show? I watched it while I was in Iceland and knew it had to be a soul crushing production”.

This finally did get your attention, finally able to vent about all the hard work and late (and you mean late) nights spent at the office making sure it was as perfect as it could be. Even though the production was, as Kiro put it, a bit “soul crushing”, it was worth it to see how popular it was with the audience.

“Honestly, that’s my favorite show we’ve ever produced. It took a lot of effort from the whole team, and everyone really pulled through to get this as perfect as possible”

You rambled on and on, barely letting Kiro say anymore then “Mmhmm” and “Oh wow”, but he was ecstatic to get you talking like this, especially since he knew.

He knew you had feelings for your boss. He had realized it when you told him you were busy the Saturday he tried to ask you out “on a date” to the park. He decided to head out to the park anyway (in disguise) and spotted the two of you. The stoic look on the CEO’s face made it hard to judge how he felt, but the fact that he was even out with you was enough to know that he definitely felt something. And God dammnit, why was he so handsome?

But when he saw your face, the way you smiled at him and the subtle touches shared between you. He knew how you felt. So why didn’t you look at him like that? What was the CEO doing right that he wasn’t?

He would find out. And he would change your mind. He wanted you and he would get you.

Mr. Mills was masterfully carrying three trays of food, each holding a delicious meal hand prepared by Victor. He was in the kitchen, cleaning up and preparing to finish up by making his pudding. The creamy yet almost jiggly consistency was enough to melt the tastebuds of anyone who ate it, including Victor. But tonight, he was careful making it (adding in a tad bit more love then normal, although Victor would deny it), adding two cherries on top just for you. He stored it in the fridge, hidden behind a few of his ingredients so that it would surprise you. While sweeping the floor, he overheard some conversation between Kiro and you. It seems he had gotten you talking about work, and now all he could hear was your rambling on how stressed out you were while working the last month.

He was hoping you weren’t openly bad-mouthing him to a stranger, but knew you wouldn’t have anything truly hurtful to say about him.

He smiled thinking about how he would make you pay for your meal. 

“I can’t believe you let me ramble for like, 20 minutes Kiro! It’s embarrassing to just vent in public like this!” You half-whispered jokingly to Kiro.

Kiro smiled that celebrity smile of his. “Mmm, but you it was so cute to listen to you. Besides, isn’t it the job of a friend to always listen to another?” He then playfully kicked your leg under the table.

“Hey!” you said with a giggle. “We’re at a restaurant! Save the childish actions for the park”. Even though you said it a bit of a harsh tone, he smiled mischievously. Then the barrage started.

Playful kick after kick came from Kiro. You finally gave in and played his game, sending your patented “double-kick” his way. The fight ended with the two of you laughing hysterically, just like children.

When you calmed down a bit, you put your head in your hands and looked at Kiro. He was completely caught off guard by how cute you looked right now. He looked to the right for a moment, although all he wanted to do was strip you of all your clothes and turn you around on this table and smother you with kisses and-

“Well, I guess it’s time to pay, you know, figure out what “punishment” the chef has in store for us”.

Coming back from his daydream, Kiro nodded in agreement.

“I’ve gotta go to the bathroom real quick, but go ahead and call Mr. Mills over so we can receive our ‘punishment��”. He enunciated ‘punishment’ with air quotes and a wink.

With an already hard member, Kiro speed walked to the bathroom. He had to get rid of this fast.

Alone with your thoughts, you sat there for a moment, thinking that you had forgotten something. Shaking it off, you called Mr. Mills over and told him you and Kiro had finished your meals.

“I’ll take you and your dates dishes for you then” said Mr. Mills.

With a face full of red, you quickly corrected him. “Oh but we’re just friends! I didn’t get the chance to tell you earlier”.

Mr. Mills only looked at you with a smile, and nodded saying “Of course, sorry for my mistake”. Skillfully holding the dishes in his hands, he turned towards the kitchen and remarked, “The chef will be glad to hear that”.

A bit confused by what he meant, you waited for Kiro to return, or for Mr. Mills to tell you what the chef had in mind as payment. Mr. Mills returned first.

“The chef has decided that you will be coming back to help in the kitchen, Mrs. ______”. He looked around for a second, and added, “I’ll wait here for your friend to return so that I may tell him what his payment will be”.

You felt bad that you had to leave without being able to talk to Kiro more, but your mind quickly switched over to the verbal abuse you might receive from your boss when he reminds you of your missing report.

You walk into the kitchen to a familiar, sexy voice.

“Glad you could make it”.

You met with a pair of gorgeous violet eyes, lingering on them for a moment too long. You blushed and turned your head to the countertop, pretending like he wasn’t the most interesting thing to look at.

You decided to open up with the report, figuring that apologizing while he seemed to be in a good mood was the best move.

“So, uh, I may have forgotten to get the report to you before 5 PM today, but don’t worry I have it now and can get it before I leave or right now if you-”.

Victor waved his hand, cutting you off. “Don’t bother, I wasn’t at the office all day, so you would never have been able to give it to me anyhow. However, I expect that report to be in my hands at 8 o’clock sharp tomorrow morning”.

You unintentionally let out a sigh, glad that he wasn’t angry. You felt that you could finally relax. As tired as you were, you were ready to finish whatever Victor had in mind and head home for the most peaceful sleep you could imagine.

“Open the fridge”. Said a particularly demanding voice.

You open the French door refridgerator, bending over to look inside, realizing you don’t actually know what he wants you to look at.

Little do you know, Victor was admiring the curves of your body, which lead into your rather plump ass. Before you turned around, he handed you a list.

“These are ingredients that I need for making my pudding, make sure I have enough of each”.

Shuffling through some of the products in his fridge, you notice a delicious looking dessert hidden in the back.

“Oh my god, Victor did you make pudding?!” You couldn’t hold back your excitement, reaching for the pudding to take it out.

Seeing your childlike reaction made Victor smile, which you turned around just in time to see. Blushing for the umpteenth time today, you thanked him for making your favorite.

“It’s for you to take home. Remember, you haven’t paid for your meal yet”.

You look up at him expectantly, thinking he would have you clean the dishes or mop the floor. Instead, he steps closer to you, and leans down so that you are both eye level.

You freeze, feeling his breath on your skin, the eye contact between you never breaking. You felt like you could feel the tension in the air. Victor finally broke it.

“I just have a few questions for you. That will be your payment”.

You nodded, still frozen.

“Please be honest with me, right now we are friends, Victor and _______, not boss and coworker.”

You only continued to look at his pretty violet eyes. He seemed a bit anxious. It felt like he wasn’t completely confident in himself, unlike how he always appeared at work.

He let out a sigh. “Dummy”.

He continued. “I like you”.

Your mouth dropped in shock. Did Victor just say he likes me?? Did he seriously say that? What?

You didn’t know how to say what you were thinking, but you knew just how you felt. You were estatic to hear that he felt the same. Oh what a wonderful end to your day.

“Victor I, I feel the same. I just thought that you didn’t feel the same and that if I admitted my feelings you would shut me down for being unprofessional and that it might ruin...”

Victor’s eyes told you to be quiet. A smile crept onto Victor’s face, and a laugh escaped you. You rambled again, how embarrassing.

Victor took a step away from you, allowing you room to breathe. You thought you were finished with your payment, but little did you know what Victor had in mind.

“I guess I should go see if Kiro is finished with whatever task you handed him, he is my ride home after all”.

Victor folded his arms, leaning on the countertop. “Dummy, I don’t remember saying that you had paid for your meal. Come here”.

You turned around, nervously. Did he want a kiss? Was this how he wanted to officially start your relationship? I thought we would talk about it some more privately.

You stepped right in front of him, looking up at him. The height difference forced you to strain your neck to meet his gaze.

Victor’s voice lingered in the air. “Do you want to have some fun before I send you home?”

Unsure of what he meant, you nodded.

With your consent, he picked you up and lightly set you on his countertop, leaning over to place kisses on your lips. He moved to your neck, loosening his tie. He gently pushed your legs a part, nibbling at your panties. You could feel how wet he was making you. Victor reached up your thighs, his big hands gripping them tightly. He wrapped his pinkies around your panties, pulling them down and past your feet.

You heard a low throaty growl come from Victor, and it only turned you on more. He flicked his tongue on your clit. The tingling sensation made your body move erratically. He looked up at you, a smile clearly visible on his handsome face. He continued teasing your slick with his fingers and tongue, occasionally fighting the urge to reach down and grope himself.

“Can I put my fingers in?”

You only moaned in response.

Victor stopped all movement and met your eyes.

“I want a yes from you before I continue”. His tone was demanding, almost hungry sounding.

Flushed red, you opened your mouth to meekly say, “Yes, please Victor”.

He moved his hands back to your slick, slowly positioning his fingers to your entrance. Gently, he pushed his index finger in. The high-pitched moan let Victor know you were having fun.

“Good”, He said through a smile. “I’m glad I can make you feel this good with nothing but my fingers, but next time you’ll repay the favor to me”.

Victor prepared to put in his middle finger, but suddenly you spoke up.

“More, I want more of you...”

Elated to hear your excitement, he put in four fingers, using his middle and ring finger to hit your pleasure spot. Rubbing it slowly, then picking up his pace when your moans quieted down. With his tongue he licked and sucked on your clit, bringing wave after wave of pleasure.

Although you were no stranger to sex, you were pretty sure you had never cum before. You pretended, because you really didn’t want to make your ex’s feel like they were inadequate, but here, right now with Victor, he completely blew everyone else away. You didn’t know what it felt like to be on the edge, usually being too tired after work to commit to your full pleasure. But the erotic feelings deep in your core made it impossible to focus on anything.

You only knew what you wanted right now.

Fighting the “growing” urge to touch himself, Victor focused on making you cum. He wanted you, he wanted to fill you up and refuse to stop until he chased his own release. But right now, he wanted to make you feel so satisfied that you would come back for more immediately.

Besides, Victor felt that truly intimate sex should be saved for the bedroom, especially the first couple of times. But that wasn’t going to stop him from making you cum now.

You were nearly there, unintentionally squeezing your walls around his fingers. You had asked him to stop, not really meaning it, but because you were so unfamiliar with this foreign feeling your brain was begging for the pleasure to end. You only wanted this to end in one way though, and so did Victor. 

“Oh god, oh god, oh myyy, Victor!!!” He only continued with his motions, never ceasing. 

You lost all thought, unaware of how loud you were being. “I’m gonna cum, ohhh!”

Nothing but pleasure ran through your mind, your legs shaking around Victor. You had closed your eyes, breathing heavily, attempting to calm down. Once your breathing slowed, and your made eye contact with Victor, he fully removed his fingers and stood up. He went to grab a towel from the drawer, wiping his face and fingers clean before handing it to you.

Victor was grinning, trying and failing to hide it. “I hope that this experience was satisfactory for you”.

You rolled your eyes at his ridiculous comment. He knew you enjoyed yourself.

“Well, this was quite the start to our relationship, I guess I’ll see you at work tomorrow then?” 

“Mmm, you will. I’m sure your friend is waiting at his car for you”.

A bit sad to leave, you grabbed your purse and started to walk out, wen Victor’s hand met yours.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Confused, you cluelessly blinked at him.

He let out his second sigh of the day (ever since you’d met, you had been keeping track of the number of times he would sigh when talking to you). “Dummy, you’re leaving the pudding I worked so hard to make for you”.

Embarrassed, you took the cute little bag he had put it in and then turned to leave.

Behind you Victor’s voice, as sexy and suave as it was, left you with one last comment. 

“When you eat my pudding later, let it be a reminder to you of what happened here today”. He let out a mischievous laugh. “A souvenir, if you will”.

I seriously have to apologize for leaving yall hanging for like a month! I was very busy and rarely found time to work on this, so thank you for being patient and I hope yall like it ;)

[rinharu-purple]

Sam, how do u feel about that new karma drop (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)? Also I feel like that photo of the "beheaded gorilla" looked like those wireless bluetooth speakers on a stand but I could be wrong xD

Heyho nonny!

Not gonna lie, that's one fine bomb to drop on a regular Wednesday.

PG has been lurking around the idea of using a red lipstick for a while now, so I think it's pretty cool to put it in motion. I like all of the karmas in general, both our LIs and MC. They are all so aesthetically tasteful.

There are no spoilers in this post, but my answer includes suggestive remarks below this line.

Victor

I like the gear elements on his broche, it brings a new light to his character signature "time"

Him laying on a bed of roses reminds me of his Courtyard Date, but I think it wasn't roses on that date.

MC's dress is superb. If it weren't for the censorship, I'm pretty sure PG would have cut her slit deeper...and maybe Victor's in the karma missing right hand would find its way in there ;)

MC's mark on his neck...close to his Adam's apple is one fine touch ;)

If it were for me I would probably leave the golden tie, but Victor's outfits are not always fashionable, so I'll give him a pass ^_^

Kiro

We cannot see much of his outfit, but it looks slightly more modest than of the other guys. Looks good on him nonetheless.

The black ribbon reminds me of his Valentine's 2020 karma.

I don't know what to think about putting teddy bear into this narrative though. Not my cup of tea I guess.

His kissing mark on MCs back is the sexiest imo. Usui had once kissed Misaki like this in Maid Sama. That's pretty sexy ♆

Again, gorgeous dress MC!

Lucien

I like all of MCs dresses, but the one here deserves a crown, The belt, the matching necklace, the "Belle from Beauty and the Beast" dress, the color. Just everything.

With such a dress with bardot cut, she was asking for a kiss on the collarbone. Such a waste. How could Lucien miss that I wonder 🤔

We have to wait for the date but it feels like PG tuned down Lucien a notch.

But MC sitting on his lap...#megusta

His pre evol outfit is simple but elegant. Suits Lucien's style very well.

Gavin

It was an agonizing wait in the PV to finally see Gavin's card, but when it finally did...of boy!

I was very frustrated by the lack of spice on his birthday, but I think PG might make it up by this date.

Gavin's outfits are absolutely stunning since a year. Only he could wear a slit blazer and carry it like a boss. Seriously, I can't wait to see his full sprite.

The beheaded gorilla is actually another analog camera that looks like a gorilla, one needs to zoom in real good 😁

How the lillies turn from white to black, how Gavin is topping MC on the floor and finds his position between her legs (again). I have a good feeling that this date won't disappoint us (❦ꇴ❦) (which it didn't and I gushed all about it in detail here)

Shaw

Gotta admit, still struggling with accepting Shaw as a LI

Ripped jeans is always a pass for me :D and seeing MC in all black is a rare sight and sooo Black Queen-y

His pre-evolve CG has the vibes of a contemporary Elvis with a waist belt, flipped up high collar. It kinda suits him.

With his chest so out in the open, MC should've left a mark there if you ask me.

But still, Shaw is not my man.

{In the Name of Love}

Preview : “The one who violates the agreement the most will receive a 'punishment', but I'm a little looking forward to the 'punishment' in the name of love!”

~

MC : "I did not expect..."

Looking at the paper in my hand again, I fell back on the couch in frustration, not trying to understand why things turned out to be like this in the end.

MC : "I did not expect that it would be me who violates the agreement the most!"

The time I would take to return back home was much later than the time rule mentioned in the contract.

I made an appointment to go out with Kiro but missed it because of overtime work. I didn't receive Kiro's call several times and I also didn't cook for two days...

According to our agreement, the person who reaches the number limit of violating the contract the most will receive a small "punishment."

I don't know what kind of "punishment" I'll receive. Will it be to take care of all the housework or say "Kiro, I love you." a hundred times..?

MC : "If it's the latter, it doesn't seem to be much unacceptable nor hard..."

Kiro : "Hm? What is unacceptable?"

Kiro, who had just taken a shower appeared in the field of my vision. From the angle of looking up, he was a little different from usual.

A drop of water ran down his forehead, neck and bare chest, from the tip of his hair until it disappeared into the hidden lower abdomen.

Such a pity....Oh no! That's not right!

Blushing, I retracted my sight and controlled my thoughts from running around.

Kiro : "MC, you're frowning, are you thinking about what to eat tonight?"

Kiro smiled and leaned down, his two hands propped on my left and right sides, carefully trying to guess what I was thinking.

MC : "I'm not!"

I mumbled, trying to destroy the corpse of the paper in my hand but it was too late and Kiro had already snatched it quickly.

MC : "Ah, give it back to me!"

I stretched out my hand to grab it and Kiro quickly got up and lifted the paper even higher, causing me to crash into his arms, "throw myself into his arms".

Kiro : "If you didn't remind me, I would've forgot that there was a punishment."

MC : "I didn't want to remind you whatsoever..."

Kiro : "Hmm, I have to think carefully about this punishment."

Kiro stroked his chin with one hand and his eyes moved from the paper to my body. He really looked in a deep thinking as if he was actually thinking about what kind of "punishment' should be given to me.

MC : "What punishment? I don't know anything!"

His glance made me a little flustered and I immediately turned around and ran away before he spoke.

Kiro : "Why're you running away before I can even speak?"

MC : "All because of you..."

------ I hid in the balcony, turned around and thought about talking to him reasonably but the next second when I spun around--

I slipped and the moment I fell into the pool on my back, a huge splash of water was aroused. The splashing white drops of water occupies all of my sight, followed by another sound.

Kiro : "It's okay, it's okay."

Kiro hugged me tightly into his arms. I held him by the arm to support myself, leaned on his chest and kept coughing with my tears almost threatening to overflow.

MC : "I'm okay...I just accidentally fell into the water."

Kiro : "Don’t you know how dangerous this is?"

Kiro grabbed my chin and asked me to raise my head. He was relieved to see I really was fine.

MC : "It really was just an accident..."

Kiro : "Sheesh...did you really think I would punish you?"

Kiro opened his eyes wide and besides his distress, he was also a little angry.

Kiro : "Obviously, we didn't sign the agreement to punish one another in the first place! MC, you really think of me as that much of an excessive person!"

MC : "Excessive?"

I didn't expect such an "accusation" at all and Kiro flicked my forehead in dissatisfaction.

Kiro : "Of course! We signed the agreement to make the both parties become more harmonious with each other!"

Kiro : "Although, we worked really hard to maintain the agreement, don't forget that it is a happiness agreement in the name of love. So, you have to reflect on it accordingly!"

MC : "I was wrong then!"

I put my forehead on Kiro's shoulder to express that I had admitted my mistakes rightly.

Kiro : "But Honey, if you really don't want to be punished, there's nothing I would do forcefully if you beg/insist."

MC : "No, we agreed to comply with the regulations and accept the punishment whoever has to! But-But don't go overboard!"

Kiro : "If you insist then. And of course I won't do anything excessive."

Kiro felt defeated in my serious eyes, he stretched out his hand to poke away the strands of wet hair on my cheek.

Then he lowered his head and his slightly cold lips were so close to my ear and faintly whispered something that made me completely frozen.

MC : "That-That won't do!"

I looked at the transparent glass wall around the balcony and couldn't help shaking my head in panic.

Kiro : "MC, you said you would follow the rules!"

MC : "Woah, Wait-Wait a sec-"

I closed my eyes in fright and was plunged into the clear water.

There was only the sound of splashing water in my ears, I opened my eyes, and the clear and transparent pool water reflected the dazzling sunlight. Yet, Kiro's smile was clear than anything.

The breath and temperature that were approaching me were so familiar and nostalgic.

[vexillumalbum]

Cześć! Fellow polish person here! I thought maybe you could do some hcs on victor, Gavin and shaw (they're my faves) having a dream about mc dying or leaving them and they wake up and she comforts them or maybe they don't tell her about the dream and just... watch her from afar to know she's fine. something short but angsty with comfort. you know! anyway, dziękuję i miłego dnia!

Oh hello, fellow polish person! Miło mi cię tu widzieć! (tran.: Nice seeing you here!) I hope you’re alright! Dziękuję za wiadomość i miłego dnia! (tran.: Thank you for your message and have a nice day!)

Note: I wrote this also for Lucien and Kiro but I wasn’t sure if I should publish it so let me know if you would like to see something like this for them. (Lucien’s angst is delicious, I tell you that)

I tried to keep it short as you requested :) 

A little angst and comfort below, hope you’ll like it

Gavin

Screams. High-pitched, terrifying wails chilled the blood in his veins. It didn't bother him that they were so frequent or that they were so loud - the number of missions on which he heard such cries probably exceeded the amount of instant ramens he had eaten in his whole life - but that he knew exactly who the screams belonged to. You.

There were so many dark corridors and he didn’t knew which one led to you. And every time he thought he was taking the right direction, he suddenly reached the end of the corridor, his body hitting a brutal concrete wall. 

“(Y/N)?! (Y/N), where are you?!” He was running in circles as with each passing moment your cries were getting more and more horrifying.

Gavin couldn’t take it, he couldn’t bear a thought of you getting hurt while he was near and he wasn’t able to help you any way. He promised he would protect you. He—

“Gavin!” One of your screams sounded like his name and he fell to his knees, tired and distraught, his face in his hands as he was begging the heavens to let you be save. 

“Take me, not her, please, take me, not her!” He was a mumbling mess.

“Gavin!”

Gentle hands were cradling his face and his first instinct was to fight the gesture but then, in his haziness, he recognized the scent of your floral shampoo and let himself sink into the delicate touch. He immediately hooked his arms around your figure and hugged tightly to his broad chest.

He was soaked in sweat, his pajamas was sticking unpleasantly to his body.

“You’re alright, Gavin. It was just a dream.” Your soothing voice was what ultimately pulled him out of slumber. 

“You,” he croaked. “Are you alright?” 

“Of course I am, silly. It was a dream. We’re both in our bedroom and we’re both safe.” You hugged him back, feeling his heartbeat even through his shirt. By slowly stroking his back you managed to calm him down a little.

“Good.” He looked over to the window where the sky was still dark. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up in the middle of the night.”

When you assured him it’s fine and asked him if maybe he would like to tell you about his nightmare he only quickly denied before resting his head on your shoulder. Unconsciously, his lips found your neck enabling him to feel your pulse and body heat. Indicating you were alive and well.

You anew fell asleep safely tucked in his arms with Gavin watching you breathe evenly and making sure you were still there with him. If you as much as stirred in your sleep, he would hug you a little tighter - he did it not only to comfort you, but also to comfort himself.

Victor

The metallic, slightly salty smell entered Victor's nostrils, and he immediately looked up from his laptop, frowning strongly. He knew that smell perfectly well. 

The trouble he had felt in the last few hours of checking reports in his home office was gone, and the man felt anxious instead.

“(Y/N)?” He called out but only silence answered him.

Victor called your name a few more times, quickly making his way to the living room. Each time he got no answer, which only reinforced his uneasiness. And when he got to the kitchen, his eyes went wide and his strong rapid heartbeat was all he could hear.

Blood. There was blood everywhere - on the marble floor, the black cabinets, stone countertops, on the window and even the stove. Everywhere. 

“(Y/N)?!” He was in a panic now, trying to maneuver around the room so as not to step into the red substance, looking for you. But you were nowhere to be seen. You... or your body. 

Even so, something told him it was your blood that was spilled around the kitchen. The pit in his stomach grew and grew and he was slowly losing his mind, only the worst images flooding his imagination, and then he saw a it. A large kitchen knife laying on the floor. A knife he knew all too well. 

Bzzt bzzt bzzt

It was a dream. 

Victor looked around the room, hoping to see you lying next to him under the blanket, but when he saw an empty bed instead, a familiar panic began to reign in his stomach. You never woke up before him, so where were you?

It took him about three times less than usual to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, but he wasn't running yet. He knew those horrible scenes from a moment before were nothing but a nightmare, so he avoided rapidly searching the apartment for you. 

Only when he did not find you in the kitchen or in the living room, and no noises could be heard from the bathroom, he began to panic. 

“Victor?” The entrance door opened revealing your confused figure balancing a grocery bag in your hands. Seconds later you were enveloped in a tight hug, that knocked the air out of you. “I’m happy to see you too. Something happened?”

But he didn’t reply. Victor only held you tighter squishing the bread you had bought minutes before. The warmth he felt radiating from you was comforting him and reassuring that it was not another dream. 

“Vic, you’re squishing me.” 

“Don’t ever do it again.”

“Do what?”

Again, he didn’t answer. 

This morning you experienced the little-known side of Mr. CEO. He did not leave your step, you ate breakfast shoulder to shoulder, and when you got to work he was waiting in the car until you safely entered the building.

You asked him about the reason for his behavior several times, but all he said was "You're imagining things.", so after a few tries you abandoned the topic. Victor, however, did not experience inner peace until the next evening when you were lying in his arms safe and sound.

Shaw

It was another fight between the two of you. He didn't remember what had happened, but probably something stupid as usual. Maybe he had been a little late to his date with you again, or maybe he missed a few consecutive text messages from you.

He tried to excuse himself that he was busy and that his studies were taking up a lot of his time. But you were having none of that.

“Stop being such a child, Shaw!” You spatted as you were angrily walking back and forth in his apartment. 

“I’m a child? Babe, I think you’re closer to being one than me, right now.” He laughed but you weren’t in a mood for jokes and banter. Normally it would take a few ‘i’m sorry’s, a couple of jests and a hug for you to forgive him however this time you didn’t even want to look at him. 

“I’m serious, Shaw. All you ever do is fuck up. You’re never on time, you ignore my texts, do you even know I’m your girlfriend?!”

“Of course I—“

“I wish you were more like your brother.” Your words pierced a hole through Shaw’s heart and he stood there frozen as you were angrily glaring at him. 

“You don’t mean that.” His voice was weak, quiet, but you heard him anyway. 

“I do.” Was your last words before you took your belongings and strutted out of his apartment leaving him completely speechless. You didn’t say goodbye, but he somehow knew it was the last time he would ever see you. 

Shaw took the first thing his hands found and threw it against the wall. 

Before the empty glass shattered against the brickwork, however, Shaw jumped up from the bed panting abruptly. He woke up extremely upset and tried to ignore the thin layer of sweat that covered his body.

“Fuck.” The man muttered before picking up his phone and dialing your number. He wasn’t even surprised he knew the combination by heart at this point.

“Hello, Shaw!” Your melodious voice made his stomach flip. He was in too deep. 

“Would you ever leave me?” Wow, smooth

“What?” Your confusion could be clearly heard but he really didn’t care to elaborate.

“Do you think I’m a child?”

“I’m afraid I don’t understand your questions.” He groaned as his back fell against the pillows. “Did something happen?” You sounded worried, and at that moment he began to regret calling you. 

He ran a hand over his lavender curls and, suppressing a sigh, said "Forget it.”

“But—“

“What time do you finish work today? I’ll pick you up.”

“At five, I guess.”

“Alright. See ya.”

He threw the phone on the other side of the mattress, internally cursing his subconsciousness. 

Maybe today he shouldn’t be late. Oh, and he would buy you something. Flowers? Yeah, flowers sounded good. And he’d heard they had opened new hotpot place. This evening you two should definitely check it out. And then maybe stargazing. Or he would play you something on his guitar… 

Stupid subconsciousness

Kiro: Echoing Date [Translation]

Translations under the cut!

[Section Zero]

I leaned lazily against the balcony, with twinkling snow decorating the night of Christmas Eve. 

Just like last year, Kiro has gone to participate in the “Special Santa Claus Event.”

(Flashback)

“Special Santa Claus Event? Is it the one last year?”

Kiro sat on the wooden floors, surrounded heavily by stacks upon stacks of envelopes.

“It’s a bit different from last year. This time, I’ll be dressed like Santa Claus, and sneakily gift children their presents at night. But it’s still a simple event.”

As he explained, he skimmed through every letter with a deadly focus, his pen circling on the papers from time to time, muttering the names of the children occasionally.

“Aren’t these the letters they’ve sent to ‘Santa Claus?’ Are you reading all of them?”

“Yep, of course. I’ll not be in a live recording room this time. I’ll really be visiting the children’s homes, appear right in front of their eyes.”

“If the children can really meet Santa Claus, even hearing him call them by their names, and allow them to speak their hearts out.. that must be awesome!”

“I don’t know what Santa Claus really looks like, but I feel like I wasn’t good enough last year, probably because it was my first time. So this year, I must be the perfect Santa Claus! It’s just that..”

I didn’t know what he’s thinking about, but he looked at me, his expressions difficult.

“I can’t be with Ms. Chips for Christmas Eve this year.. But I..”

(Flashback ends)

“You’re not really waiting for Santa Claus, are you?”

Suddenly, a playful voice rang in my ear, halting me from all my thoughts.Rui held a cup of milk in her hands, sitting by the side. Though she’s only five years old, she pulls of a sour face with expertly. Her parents are friends in my production studio, and, due to some sudden urgent matters in the office, they’ve handed her to my house, asking me to look after her for a while.

I smiled, waving the sealed envelope in my hand.

“I’ve already received Santa’s present.”

”Near evening, I found a present box on my doorstep, and inside of it there’s a ticket for a concert show, along with a note:“As I’ve said, this is Santa’s first present (?)”

“What Santa Claus.. must be big sister’s boyfriend trying to surprise you or something..”

“There’s no Santa Claus in this world. It’s all a big liar adults like to tell to the kids!”

Rui had a face filled with pride as she said that.

“Rui, it’s ‘lie’.”

My mind’s filled with a certain Santa Claus’ silhouette, and how he’s dashing all over Loveland right now, fulfilling the children’s every whim and dream.I winked at Rui mysteriously,

“Maybe Santa does exist,”

“I won’t beli..”

Before Rui’s finished, a figure appeared right in front of my window, politely knocking on it.

He had a Santa hat on his head, and a fluffy beard covering half of his face. Even with a pair of round-framed glasses, they still couldn’t hide his brilliant sapphire eyes.

I slid the window open, slightly dazed. He jumped down onto my balcony, with snowflakes landing down with him.

“Who’s called my name?”

[Section One]

I looked at the Santa who’s “fallen down from the sky” with a look of surprise. He winked towards me with mischief, and smiled happily towards Rui.

“Hello to you, Rui.”

It was very apparent that Rui was very shocked. She blinked her eyes roughly, as if it’s all dawned on her that he does exist.

“You’re not Santa, must be an actor my mommy and daddy sent over! Why else will you know my name?!”

Kiro rolled his eyes, and kneeled down in front of Rui,

“Because you wrote me a letter!”

“Rui, who’s about to be an elementary student soon, for Christmas, she hopes her father..”

“Stop, stop!”

Before Kiro’s done talking, Rui’s face was completely flushed, her hand holding onto his faux white beard tightly.

“Turns out Rui wrote Santa a letter as well?”

I smiled and looked at Rui from behind Kiro, noticing her shy gaze shifting away. Maybe every kid is similar in some way or the other – they may say that they do not believe in it, and yet there will be a flickering hope inside of their hearts. Excited for a special existence that can help them say out the wishes that they cannot say themselves.

Rui fervently held Kiro’s hand, bouncing about. This is when I realised-In such a freezing night, Kiro’s back is completely soaked, and the well-hidden bungee cord tied to him had revealed themselves. Yet he didn’t seem bothered at all, letting little Rui hold his hand, sneakily using his other hand to hold onto mine.

“Merry Christmas Eve, MC.”

“Merry Christmas Eve, Dear Mr. Santa.”

The soundless blessings surrounded us like the snow outside the window, gentle and calm.

We crowded in the small living room, Kiro sitting on the wooden floor, listening to Rui as she told him stories.

“Santa, can you stay here all night?”

“Mm.. There are still many children waiting for me to give them their presents though..”

“But my friends don’t believe in Santa anyways! It’s okay if you don’t go!”

“Or maybe they’re the same as Rui~”

I sat aside, picking a candy from the trays of candy jars, and handed it for Rui. It was apparent that the little girl felt upset from my words, as she had her head lowered after she took the candy from me.

“Actually, I don’t believe Santa exists either.”

“Liar! You’re Santa Claus! How can you not believe that you exist?”

“Because.. Santa only exists because you believe in him.”

She furrowed her brows, puzzled and confused.

“There are lots of friends like Rui. They’re all very obedient, and they work very very hard to let themselves be the best kid they can be.”

“They believe that there is a Santa Claus, who knows if they’ve been bad or good, and that’s why they keep improving themselves.”

“It’s because you believe truly, that I exist. When I see you working hard, when I see your wishes, I want to reward good children like you.”

“So I’ll fulfill all your wishes today, and gift you presents.”

Kiro tilted his head, and ran his hand across his beard, his sly face almost making me laugh.

“But this is the first time I’ve seen you.. if ever received your presents before, does that mean I was a bad kid?”

Kiro was stunned. He blinked his eyes slowly, the lenses reflecting a face I couldn’t read.

“Actually.. Santa has a little secret, but Rui can’t tell anyone, okay?”

He purposefully lowered his voice, and I leaned in intrigued as well.

“Good children all around the world.. there are too many of them!”

“But Santa’s working hours’ just one Christmas Eve, so even if he runs until his legs break, he’ll not he able to visit every child in the world. So I’m only able to visit some this year, visit the others the next year.. seeing different good children every single year.”

“So to kids, Santa Claus may not appear every year. But if you believe, he’ll keep existing, he’ll always watch over you, thinking about the day he’ll give your present to you.”

“If you work hard on doing the things you want to do, and happily go through each and everyday, and if you’re willing to gift happiness to all of those around you.. maybe he’ll be late, but he’ll definitely appear someday.”

Kiro’s tone was slow, saying every word one by one, his truthfulness beyond compare.

“So when you’ve waited until the moment you receive your present, you should take it without any doubts and worries. Because you’ve been a good kid, you deserve this present, and you’re worthy of many lovely things too.”

Rui speechlessly looked at Kiro, grabbing tight to the corners of her skirt.

“I will try my best to be good!”

“It’s fine even if you don’t visit next year, next next year and the year after that, I’ll keep being good!”

“Thank you Santa Claus!”

She nodded fiercely, like she had made a very important promise. Then she took the tray of candies in front of me, and passed it to Kiro.

“Santa Claus must be tired, this is my present to you! Have some candy!”“But I have not eaten it yet!”

“Big sister will be fine with one.”

Kiro chuckled when he saw the pout on my face. I looked at the candy I’ve unconsciously held in my hand – “Rich Plum Candy”, and then I looked back at the biased child. I ate the candy quickly. The stinging acidity of the plum immediately enveloped my mouth, making my face sour. Under the strong attack of sourness, my tongue somehow managed to taste the mildly sweet aftertaste before became numb.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“It’s now time for Rui’s present.”

Kiro raised his eyebrow towards Rui. As if she’d guessed something, she ran towards the door. My face scrunched up even further. I wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the sour explosion, but as I stood up..

A sudden strength pulled me forward, and I crashed into the blue of an ocean. The warm heat of his breaths swallowed my world, the soft beard tickling the corners of my lips, and in the moment between that I could still see Rui’s silhouette, dashing towards the entrance. The spikes of acidity in my mouth was then stolen away, and only the taste of the sweetness of milk remained. The entire universe, soundless, but heated.

‘Kala---’ The door opened.

[Section two]

There by the entrance stood Rui’s parents, most likely having finished their work earlier than expected, and rushed over here.

The basis of Rui’s wish was very simple, she only wished to celebrate this special, heartfelt day together.

“Wait wait! Where did Santa go?! He hasn’t eaten the candy I gave him!”

...But he did.

I could almost feel Kiro’s warm breaths circling around my face.

“Big sister, why is your face so red?”

I cleared my throat, quickly getting myself together, and pointed towards the window. Rui quickly ran there.

Kiro was already sitting in his sleigh downstairs, surrounded with presents. The soft streetlights embraced the falling snow, and it was as if Christmas Eve’s been blessed with twinkling lights.

“Mr. Santa! Thank you for your present!”

Kiro’s pointing finger reached onto his lips, creating a silent secret in the midst of winter night.

“You haven’t kept my present yet!”

“I’ve received it already!”

His gaze reached me, and he winked mischievously,

“This is the sweetest candy I’ve ever eaten.”

“Return me next time.”

I pulled up my fist, and pretended to threaten him.

“I will.”

“I’ll see you again, Rui.”

After his goodbye to Rui, Kiro’s silhouette slowly faded into the night. And after Rui’s left with her parents, I looked at what was once a crowded, noisy living room, suddenly feeling rather empty. I could almost see the sweat-soaked Santa Claus, ever so energetic and lively in front of all the children, correctly yelling every child’s names.

After a bit of thinking, I took out the concert ticket, put on my coat, and dashed out the door. 

It’s already close to midnight, and so it wasn’t as crowded in the streets. Yet they were still filled with Christmas decors. The bells of reindeers rang, and following the noise, I found the staffs following behind Kiro.

In the night of blessings, there were still plenty of people standing in snow, working hard just to fulfill those innocent and tender dreams.

Savin: “Ms. MC? What brings you here?”

MC: “I’ll just look around, I won’t bother you guys!”

Staff: “Kiro should be out in a while.”

The staffs cut off our brief conversation. After hanging the climbing ropes properly, and parking the sleigh, they hurriedly hid into a dead corner. Kiro skillfully climbed out of the window, and successfully used the ropes to drop himself into the ground. The snowy surface was a bit slippery, and he’d briefly stumbled when he landed, but he readjusted himself, and sat back on the sleigh.Just as a kid tilted his head out of his window towards the sleigh, Kiro posed.

“Thank you Santa Claus!”

“Merry Christmas, CeCe!”

The staffs activated the fixture, letting the sleigh slowly drive itself towards the corner close to the window. After guaranteeing that no children could ever notice them, they quickly rushed towards him.

“Kiro, did you sprain your leg just now?”

“I’m okay! Please don’t be worried!”

He smiled towards everyone as a proof that he’s fine, and requested for the makeup artist to fix up his makeup. The scenario seemed to have repeated itself multiple times that night. I didn’t go up to him, instead, I quietly followed the members of staff, and saw him stepping into the windows, perfectly dressed as the Santa Claus in every child’s hearts.

(MC wasn’t here in the break room yet by the way.)

After the last child’s came out of their homes, they arrived back into the break room, and it was then that Kiro finally sighed in exhaustion. It was already two in the morning.

“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll send you back home, please take a rest then.”

“Mm..”

His words were weary and unclear as he focused on the screen on his phone. He looked troubled.

“I’ll send you home after I’ve said goodbye to them.”

“..Yep.”

The screen stopped at the call button, and yet he couldn’t press onto it.

Suddenly, Kiro’s phone rang.

“MC?! You haven’t slept yet?!”

”“Santa Claus has been working all day long, how can I possibly leave him alone now?”

“Hehe.”

The sweat-soaked beard had sort of stuck onto his chin, and yet it revealed his tired yet satisfied smile.

“Are you done yet?”

“Yup.”

His voice showed a hint of hesitation, as if something hid in the corner of his lips, and yet he didn’t know how to say it.

“Miss Chips..”

“Yep, I’m here.”

“It is really late now, isn’t it?”

“2:06A.M, to be exact.”

“What if I tell you that.. Santa’s work hasn’t ended just yet, because there’s still a present I haven’t gifted yet, but it’s just a bit more special?”

“Will you?”

“I will!”

Kiro was dazed for a moment, before he curled on the couch, leaning towards his phone affectionately.

“I haven’t said anything yet though.”

“I’ll be okay with everything you say.”

“You’re lying. If you aren’t, appear right next to me right now.”

“Alright,”

I tilted my head from the reindeer decor right outside of the break room’s door, smiling proudly at the now surprised Kiro.

“So, which child needs a reindeer pixie to help them grant their wish?”

Kiro’s eyes widened in a delightful shock, and he rushed to close the door immediately, and pulled me into his arms.

“Slowly..”

“Your hands are freezing, how long have you been out there?”

“Ten minutes?”

“I am Santa Claus, so I can tell if you’re lying or not.”

“What about the ankle that Santa’s strained, does that count as a lie as well?”He paused for a while, gazing into my eyes as he smiled helplessly.“

Still running about all over when you’ve strained your ankle, it must be swollen now. 

“Does it hurt?”

“Hurts.”

It was uncommon for Kiro to admit that he’s hurt. He laid his head gently on top of mine,

“Let’s go home, I’ll tend to the wound..”

“But Santa Claus hasn’t gotten off of work yet, and his first gift hasn’t even been sent.”

Kiro looked at me pleadingly, as if he was begging, his eyes hidden with stubbornness. I knew I couldn’t possibly reject him.

“We must give you some medicines the first thing after you get home, okay?”

“Yes miss!”

Kiro giddily left Gavin a message, and together, we stuck out of the break room.

Kiro brought me to an empty snowy ground. It was already late into the night, and there wasn’t any street lights nearby. There were buildings hiding secretly in the dark.

As we followed along the path, I saw that in the middle of the snow, there was a piano.

“It’s right here.. I think The Intelligent Miss Chips has brought her concert ticket with her, hasn’t she?”

Still in his Santa costume, he bowed in front of me. I passed him the concert ticket he’s prepared for me a long while ago.

“And that’s the end of the ticket inspection. Let’s welcome my only audience in.”

He bowed to me once more, gestured at me to remain where I was, and turned towards the piano. It was then when the winds have quieted away, as if the whole of the night has been waiting for this special performance.

When Kiro pressed down onto the first key, a rainbow light in the shape of a firework decorated the sky from afar, creating a scene of floating snowflakes.

“I’m dedicating this performance to the one and only MC.”

The sound of gentle piano spilled, and in the seating tenderness of the night, a big Christmas tree was lighted up. Following his rhythm, an adorable reindeer decor yawned as it sprawled by the Christmas tree. Layers upon layers of technicolour light danced along the melody.

It was as if the world was a dark curtain, and, under Kiro’s commands, it’d turned into a wonderland that’s utterly otherworldly. As it followed the fall of a note, the world darkened once more.

In a split second, the flowing melody danced under his fingertips, and as they danced in fervency, the fireworks-like light display froze on the backdrop of cascading snow. The whole seemed to have shrunk, with only the small colourfully bright space and I, and my Santa Claus in the downpour of snow, sitting in front of the piano, orchestrating a performance just for me.

I didn’t know when the piano stopped, but Kiro slowly walked towards me, and became the only light against a dark backdrop, clean and bright, like if you’ve collected every wonder in the world.

“Merry Christmas, MC.”

[Section Three]

When we’ve returned home, the entire house was dark.

“Wait, the doorway-”

Before I’ve finished saying anything, Kiro had already tripped and fallen onto the floor.

Regretting and complaining about the way I’ve placed the decors, I switched the lights on.

Kiro sat on the floor l baffled, looking at the stacks upon rows of presents in the living room, trying to process everything. I smiled and sat by Kiro’s side, taking away the heard he’s worn for the entire night.

“Santa Claus has worked hard. But now it’s time for him to receive presents instead.”

Slightly frazzled, his empty hands didn’t know where to place themselves.

“When did you prepare all this..”

“Probably when you’re writing songs for the piano?”

“If that’s true, we’re quite in sync.”

He smiled casually, holding my arms as he held me into an embrace.

“Alright, I’ve gotten my present.”

His voice was content and gentle, as if he’s owned the world’s most precious treasure in the entire universe.

“This present won’t run away, so look at the other presents first – while you’re doing that, let me deal with your ankle.”

As he was waiting for me to get the first aid kit and return to the living room, Kiro was leaning against the sofa cushion, opening presents fervently. Part of those presents were gifted from the children who’d written to Santa.

“What about Santa Claus?” – When I’ve heard a child saying this, I suddenly thought of this ‘Special Present’. The children who were gifted presents, have presents to gift to Santa as well.. of course, that was the one thing being kept a secret.

Looking at Kiro’s ankle, so swollen it was almost incomprehensible, I quickly dabbed ointment on it carefully. I felt a bit heartbroken yet there was an odd sense of pride there as well.

“Don’t frown like that, Miss Chips! This is just..”

“A superhero badge?”

Kiro skilled gleefully, and pulled me to his side once more.

“Miss Chips, there are some kids who’d written me letters. He said, ‘Santa Claus is the greatest, most handsome person in the world, I want to be just like Santa!”

His eyes were red with exhaustion, but it couldn’t contain all of his light, like a full moon hanging above a deep blue sea, and unspoken sort of happiness.

“Whoa! It’s a new collection card! And a cute little plush..”

“..Worried that Santa’s hair will turn too white, so they’ve gifted me a black crayon?”

He excitedly unwrapped every present of every size, filled with everything imaginable, all of them the most heartfelt gift of every child. Just like how Kiro’s given his all to experience every child’s biggest wish, the children’s responded in kind as well. Like every echo in the world has settled themselves in front of Kiro.

Snow fell lightly outside of the windows, the tree we’ve picked last year stood brightly in the night, a proof of the unspoken time that’s passed between us.

Kiro was suddenly at a loss for words, careful and a bit panicked.

“-‘When you’ve come to a time to receive presents, just take them. You’re worthy of this present, deserving of many lovely things, too.”

“It’s Miss Chips who told me all of that.”

“..But I don’t remember ever saying it.”

“Some words don’t have to be said.”

“I’ve told you last year, that when I was little, I didn’t believe in Santa Claus at all. He’s never appeared, never given me any presents. Actually.. it isn’t like that.”

He held onto the little teddy bear in his hands, his head relaxed on top of mine.

“For me then, Santa Claus.. “Cannot exist.” Because it’s the only way that I could prove to myself that I wasn’t a bad child. Not a.. hated child.”

I held his hand lightly, his fingertips intertwined with mine.

“But then I realise later that Santa Claus does exist. It’s even been right by my side.”

“She is my wish itself, and she kept giving me gifts as well. Yet when I receive her presents, not only do I feel happy, I feel scared, too.”

“Why?”

“..Worried that I myself might not be worthy enough for this present.”

I wanted to tell him he’s wrong, but I did not, because I knew that he had more to say.

“Miss Chips, loving yourself is such a hard thing..”

“I always think that I’m not good enough, always wanting to do better, and better than that.”

“You’re already more than enough.”

He rubbed against my head tenderly.

“In front of you, I can always see the sides of me that I’ve never noticed myself.”

“The Kiro in front of Miss Chips actually looks like this.. Kiro will even do this and that, and it really looks like he can do many awesome things. In all actuality, Kiro.. he’s better than he thinks he is.”

His head tilted, his eyes gazing into mine.

“Because of you, I find myself loving myself bit by bit. Because I’m your choice.”

Kiro held my hand tightly, it’s almost like this was the first time he’s told me the answers in his heart with such honesty and sincerity.

“In my heart, you’ll always be the best Kiro there is.”

“And I’ll be an even better Kiro than the best Kiro.”

He lowered his head, resting close to my lips.

Those precious words followed his warm puffs of air and landed right into me, structuring my own breathing, flowing into the depths of my heart and lungs.

“So, my Santa will always look at me, and gift me gifts everyday of every year, right?”

“Doesn’t Santa only work during Christmas Eve?”

“It’s okay. My Santa MC only belongs to me.”

“When you’re here, everyday is a day where I receive a present.”

MLQC Season 2 Chapter 8 (Kiro) Final Part [High Speed Road] & [Buffer] Translation [CN]

***SPOILERS*** THIS POST CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS FOR CONTENT NOT YET RELEASED ON EN SERVER!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!***

For the previous translations of Season 2 Chapter 8: Part 1, Part 2

Enjoy~

[High Speed Road]

At three o’clock in the afternoon, all the procedures of the new song conference were ready.

The warm sun dispersed the chill air, and the fans who were selected to participate in this conference have lined up at the ticket gate.

Many fans who didn’t get a ticket also came to experience the atmosphere, and the square was crowded with people for a while.

The security guards patrolled the square at each area with communicators and everything went on in an orderly manner.

I breathed a sigh of relief and when I was about to call Savin and ask him to bring Kiro over, I realized that I couldn’t reach him.

I called Kiro shortly after and the call was quickly connected.

Kiro: Savin isn’t at the company today. Did he go straight to the venue?

MC: Why would he? He should’ve gone directly to the company to pick you up this morning.

Kiro: Huh… I didn’t see him. I thought he was with you.

Kiro’s words left me confused.

MC: Could something have happened?

Kiro: Wait, Savin’s calling me.

Kiro shared the voice call with me. The intermittent signal connection was unstable.

Savin: I….accidentally….asleep in the carriage….

Savin: But who knows….no one in this carriage…..waking up….

Savin: Can’t stop yet….its….

The signal abruptly cut off.

MC: What’s going on?

Kiro: The call can’t be reached and the signal seems to be affected.

Kiro: MC, I’m heading out, wait for me wherever you are.

In the backstage preparation room, Kiro’s fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly.

After a while, a satellite map of Loveland City appeared on the computer screen as well as a constantly moving red dot.

Kiro: This is where Savin is now.

Kiro: Strange, how did he cover so much distance all at once….

Looking at the computer screen, the red dot seems to be moving along a certain fixed track.

I remembered what Savin said just now and I couldn’t believe it.

MC: Is he really on an unmanned train?

Kiro pursed his lips and quickly pulled up another webpage.

It’s the entire route map on the Loveland Rail Transit website.

Kiro: ….According to the route he is moving on now, it should be this one.

He tapped the screen with his finger and a more detailed train timetable and line chart enlarged on the screen.

This is a cross-river train which just opened last year that connects the east and west of Loveland City.

Because it’s famous for driving on the river surface for a certain distance, it attracts many locals and tourists.

In addition, after the opening of this route, detours on both sides of the river have been avoided, so it has become the best choice for many office workers to commute.

MC: Doesn’t Savin take this train to work…

Kiro: But MC, look.

My eyes followed his fingers on the latest operation notice and I quickly realized something wrong.

MC: “We are sorry to inform you that the cross-river air rail train in Loveland City will be suspended tomorrow for maintenance and overhaul….”

MC: ….In other words, someone started this car that was originally discontinued.

Although this idea is absurd, it seems to be the case.

Kiro thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.

Kiro: Let’s go to the scene and see.

Kiro called Ah Liu for help. After a while, Ah Liu, who was holding his head with hair sticking up everywhere, appeared in front of us with grievance.

Ah Liu: Can’t it stop for a day! I was taking a nap! I’m exhausted from having to do all this work for you! ***Changed some wording***

Having said that, Ah Liu kindly transported us to the platform where the train was about to appear.

There was no one on the deserted platform. We waited for a while and a rumbling sound came from the dark tunnel.

But the train passed the platform without stopping.

Every carriage is empty.

Kiro and I looked at each other and realized the situation.

In order to determine if there is a problem with the train, I tried to dial the service number of Loveland Rail Transit.

MC: Hello, is the Loveland City Air Rail Transit operating today?

Staff Member: Sorry, the train is not open today.

MC: May I ask the specific reason?

Staff Member: During our regular maintenance yesterday, we found that some track parts were aging and loose. In order to avoid the risk of derailment, the operation was stopped.

MC: Which station needs to be maintained?

Staff Member: Central Square Station, what’s wrong?

My heart sank.

The Central Square Station is the station where Kiro’s new song press conference was held, and the train track is also located directly above the square.

At the same time, it’s also the place with the most traffic in the afternoon.

If the train derails and falls, the consequences will be disastrous.

Is it a coincidence….?

MC: …Then, is it possible for the train to run by itself?

Staff Member: Are you kidding me? The driver did not go to work today and the door of the operating room was locked.

Staff Member: Please don’t disturb our work.

The “beep” sound of the phone hanging up echoed in my ears. Kiro and Ah Liu obviously also heard the content of the conversation, frowning.

Ah Liu: What’s next? Is this event going to be cancelled?

Ah Liu’s words suddenly reminded me.

That’s right! The anonymous call I received this morning—

I immediately found the call log and called back.

I waited with bated breath for a long time and just when I thought the other person wouldn’t pick up, the line connected.

No one spoke. Only quiet breathing.

MC: Hello, I’m the person in charge of the Inverted Smile Film and Television company that received your call this morning.

The sound of breathing continued on the other end.

Teenage Boy: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

MC: Like you said, we have indeed encountered some issues that affected the organization of the event.

MC: I want to know what the “consequence” you are talking about is exactly.

MC: Did you know what the inside story was before you made the warning call?

Teenage Boy: ….It’s too late!

MC: Are you—on an unmanned train?

The phone hung up with a “beep”.

Kiro: What happened?

Kiro cast a concerned look at me. I took a deep breath and quickly told him and Ah Liu what had happened this morning.

MC: I received a strange call this morning telling me to cancel the afternoon activities or else I will bear the consequences.

MC: I’m just guessing….if these two things are related, otherwise it would be a coincidence.

MC: However, although I was able to get through, the other person was unwilling to explain more and hung up.

Kiro thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ah Liu.

Kiro: Ah Liu, can you take us there?

Ah Liu: Where?

Kiro: To that train.

Kiro pointed to the red dot that was being tracked on the laptop.

Ah Liu: Bro, are you crazy?! Have you studied physics?***Changed some wording***

Kiro: Ah Liu, don’t forget the content of our contract.

Kiro winked, revealing an extremely brilliant but threatening smile.

Ah Liu had no choice but to grab our hands—

A dazzling white light flashed in front of us and when we regained our sight, we were already in the carriage.

The ground under my feet trembles as well as the glass on the windows.

MC: It really worked! Ah Liu, you’re so amazing!

We didn’t waste time as we looked along the carriage and finally found Savin who was unconscious on the ground.

Kiro hurriedly ran to him, shook Savin twice, and saw that he had no signs of waking up. He moved closer and opened his eyelids.

Kiro: Great, Savin is fine. He only passed out.

Kiro: But there must be someone else operating this train here. We must find this person.

Kiro and I looked at each other and realized that things are not that simple.

Ah Liu sent Savin to a safe place. After returning, the three of us continued to search along this weird train.

Finally, when we reached another carriage, we saw a teenage boy sitting in the corner.

MC: Are you trapped on this train too?

He suddenly raised his head, his face full of shock as if he didn’t expect that there would be people here.

His appearance made me feel a bit familiar.

I suddenly remembered that this was the boy who passed by me at the airport that day—

Why is he here? Did he…

MC: You’re the one who called me and asked me to cancel the event.

Teenage Boy: …You’re mistaken.

Hearing his voice, I became even more convinced.

MC: I’m not mistaken. We met at the airport too, didn’t we?

Teenage Boy: ….

The boy suddenly got up from the seat anxiously. His pale lips pressed tight and shoulders shook slightly.

Teenage Boy: This car will derail soon. If you don’t want to die, leave as soon as possible.

Teenage Boy: Don’t blame me for warning you—

A ripple was opened behind the boy and Ah Liu quickly restrain the boy’s arms.

Ah Liu: I got him. Let’s resolve this quickly.***Changed some wording***

Kiro: Thanks a lot.

Teenage Boy: Le-let go! You guys hate Evolvers!

Kiro: You’re also an Evolver, aren’t you?

Kiro: Although I don’t know what your Evol is, I’m guessing you started this train too, right?

Teenage Boy: You—!

Kiro: I command you—

Before Kiro finished speaking, the seat behind him was suddenly torn apart by an invisible power and flew toward us fast!

Kiro: Watch out!

Kiro rolled me to the corner of the carriage without hesitation and the ground where we were standing just now sank.

The glass on the window made a stronger sound and the speed of the train became faster than before.

All of a sudden, I remembered a few years ago I participated in the filming of “Miracle Finder” with the theme of a rare Evol, in which “magnetic field control” was featured.

At that time, we wanted to interview this child but his family rejected because it was too dangerous.

Perhaps…he was that same child.

MC: This child should be an Evolver of the magnetic field control class.

Kiro and Ah Liu both wrinkled their brows, realizing the tricky nature of the matter.

Every part of the train may be used by him as a weapon to attack us and we must avoid the possibility of any accident to the greatest extent.

Teenage Boy: I warned you, if you value your life, leave quickly!***Changed some wording***

MC: Don’t worry, we didn’t come because of you.

MC: Don’t you….like your Evol?

I tentatively took a step towards him, hoping this boy can lower his defense a little.

Teenage Boy: ….It’s none of your business.

A loud sound came from a distance as if something passed along the track from underneath.

The overhead is full of noise and the handrails that run through the carriage seem to be breaking inch by inch with the boy’s voice.

The sharp squeal of metal rubbing across our ears, it is about ot —

I didn’t have time to think about it, and I tried my best to grab the boy’s wrist.

In the next second, my vision suddenly plunged into darkness.

As if pressing a rewind button, the train and people in front of me kept falling backwards.

----I saw the boy’s memory.

[Buffer]

The mixed memory fragments slowly pieced together into a complete picture.

A teenage boy shivered endlessly while pulling a wet schoolbag. He cried as he picked up a book soaked with water.

Teenage Boy: If only I can become an Evolver, they won’t bully me….

Teenage Friend: Don’t be stupid, aren’t Evolvers born?

Teenage Friend: Wipe your tears away. I’ll copy today’s homework for you, okay?

The picture flickers and changes.

Teenage Boy: Ajian! (friend’s name I’m assuming) I’m also an Evolver! I won’t be bullied! The doctor said that my condition is quite normal. It may have been due to poor health which wasn’t detected before.

Teenage Friend: Wow, you’ll be super awesome in the future!

Teenage Boy: Hahaha, but I won’t be like those idiot bullies. They are too naïve!

The picture continued to change but I felt extremely angry and desperate.

??: Sorry, we cannot accept such a dangerous student in a class full of ordinary children….

??: Sorry, the residents of our community think that your child is too dangerous to live here….

??: I’m, I’m sorry…..Xiao Nan(boy’s name) your ability is terrible. We can no longer be friends.

The surrounding voices faded away, falling into a dead silence.

Teenage Boy: I don’t want to be an Evolver anymore. I don’t want to have this kind of power at all. I want to be an ordinary person….

In the large, hushed and silent gray space, the spiral staircase hovered down from the high roof, like a venomous snake lying dormant in the dark.

The light swayed from the long and narrow zenith. The boy raised his hand to block the light in front of him and took a step back subconsciously.

Teenage Boy: Excuse me….are there people here who don’t like Evol?

The teenager’s timid voice echoed in the building.

??: Come, child, don’t be afraid.

The man’s voice is very gentle but his whole body is hidden in the dark, making it difficult to see his face.

??: We understand your pain. There are many people like you here. We are victims of the same kind.

??: But you are different from us. You have the power to wipe out these sources of pain.

He stretched out his hand, like a predator in the depths of the cave waiting for its prey to be snatched-- luring the prey into the cave little by little.

The picture changed again, this time on a plane.

Not knowing what happened, the cabin shook violently.

The teenager sitting in the seat bit his lip and slowly stretched out his hand. His eyes fell on the closed operating room door.

My heart pounded and a familiar word came into my ears very clearly.

??: We rule Evol, for a better future of mankind.

--It’s GRAY RHINO!

My eyes snapped open. The blood from my whole body rushed to my head and I was abruptly flung back by a force.

The ground under my feet kept shuddering and the boy ran away towards the carriage in front of him.

MC: Wait!

The handrail above my head was suddenly torn off and came towards me. Kiro protected me.

Kiro: MC, are you okay?!

MC: GRAY RHINO….

I faintly uttered the name, and my heart filled with anger.

MC: I’m fine.

I propped myself up and quickly told Kiro and Ah Liu about what I saw.

MC: This accident….GRAY RHINO planned it all.

After hearing what I said, Kiro’s brows furrowed deeply and his expression became more serious.

Kiro: Did you…see his memory? Is this boy also a member of the anti-Evol organization?

I hesitated for a moment and shook my head.

MC: I didn’t see the same tattoo on his body so he’s only being used by the people from GRAY RHINO.

Just like the two special police officers who died in the Task Force.

MC: I’m guessing the previous plane incident was also their doing, but…

It was only after the boy used Evol that the shaking of the cabin seemed to lessen.

MC: Kiro, is this their revenge against the Evolver group?

Kiro nodded softly.

Kiro: Probably.

Kiro: Once this train derails, it will definitely cause serious casualties.

Kiro: This accident will also be concluded to be the work of an Evolver.

The train was speeding by, and the floor was bumping underfoot.

The sunlight reflected from the glass curtain wall illuminates the passing cars and I see a familiar building in the distance. My heart plummets.

There are not many stops to Central Square.

If this train isn’t stopped as soon as possible, it will crash into the crowd below.

MC: We have to find him quickly!

Kiro pulled me along the carriages but the young boy was still missing.

Just as I was about to lose hope, we opened the door of the first carriage and found the boy again.***Changed some wording***

He shrank in the corner of the carriage, like a light-sensitive animal.

Teenage Boy: Do-don’t come any closer!

The moment he saw us, the boy stood up and his body shook frantically.

Compared to the state he was before, his entire body seemed to express a sort of tight tension.

MC: Don’t get excited, we won’t hurt you. We’re—

Kiro: We’re here to be friends with you.

Kiro interrupted me altogether, walked over to the boy and sat down.

The unexpected behavior made Ah Liu and I stand still, speechless, but Kiro was very indifferent.

Teenage Boy: Do-don’t lie! I know you’re that star who was on social news before!

Kiro: Eh? Am I that troublesome?

Kiro immediately put on a melancholy expression.

Kiro: But since just now, I think your abilities are very powerful, just like the superheroes in the movies.

Kiro: So I really want to be friends with you.

A look of disbelief appeared on the boy’s face and he looked at Kiro uncertainly.***Changed some wording***

Teenage Boy: I’m not a hero. I have done a lot of wrong things and I don’t want to an Evolver at all.

His voice suddenly became low, as if thinking of something sad.

Teenage Boy: I just want to be an ordinary person with many friends so I won’t be bullied.

Teenage Boy: But after I found out that I had Evol, my life grew worse…

Ah Liu: Hey, I get you. I used to be laughed at and people said that my Evol can only be good for takeaway flash delivery.

Ah Liu: I’ve survived now and those days have gone by smoothly.

After what happened to Ah Liu, a look of surprise came across the boy’s face.

Kiro: When I was a child, I was also troubled by my Evol.

Kiro: Fortunately, I met a very good person. He taught me a lot of interesting skills and made me understand that there many wonderful things in this world.

When Kiro spoke, a ray of light flashed in his eyes. The person he’s talking about must be his master KEY.

Kiro: Those memories that make you unhappy, just lock them in the drawer.

MC: That’s right. People don’t have to be held back by the past all the time.

The boy hesitated for a moment, raised his head, looked at me uncertainly, and then at Kiro.

Teenage Boy: Can I….throw away this drawer key?

Kiro: You can put the key away and when you are brave enough, you can open it and face them. You won’t have to be afraid of anything.

Teenage Boy: But….you’re a superstar. Everyone likes you. How would you have difficulties like me?

Kiro: Before becoming a star, I was an ordinary, humble person.

Ah Liu: No way, I heard that you started shooting at the age of six—

MC: Ah Liu, no need to say so much!***Changed some wording***

As if not hearing our untimely interruption, Kiro turned his head and looked at the tear-stained teenager gently.

Kiro: In fact, whether someone is an Evolver or an ordinary person, they will find their own rightful place in this world to meet people who are in the same position.

Kiro: But before that, there may be a long wait and trials.

Kiro: Perhaps the opportunity that belongs to you has not had time to appear so you will have to be more patient.

Teenage Boy: Really?

Kiro: Really.

Ah Liu and I nodded repeatedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bright light poured into the window, making people unable to close their eyes.

The two sides of the window flashed past the cantilever metal structure of the bridge. The neighboring river’s surface and the buildings bathed in golden light suddenly came into view.

Kiro: You see, through the dark tunnel just now, you can see the light all at once.

The boy’s face became paler but his voice became firmer.

Teenage Boy: I will give it a try.

Great! Seeing the boy finally change his mind, I was a little relieved.

He tried to use Evol to control the train. Even though the speed was significantly lower than before, the train did not stop.

Teenage Boy: I, I can’t do it. I’m almost out of strength…

A sharp grinding sound scraped  along the wall and the train sped past, even furiously shaking the handrails on the roof.

My heart seized in my chest.

Teenage Boy: It’s too late….I did something irreparably wrong…

Teenage Boy: I, I shouldn’t have listened to that man….I don’t want to hurt anyone….

Teenage Boy: I’m sorry, I’m sorry….

The young boy looked at his palm with a blank look and couldn’t help crying.

Kiro: Now, look into my eyes.

Kiro unquestionably pulled his shoulders, letting the boy look directly at him.

Kiro: I command you, stop this car!

A golden light blazed in his eyes and it seemed to have the power to stir people’s hearts.

The train slowly stopped and the sharp friction between the carriages and the rails gradually subsided.

The boy softened and sat on the ground, staring at the scenery frozen outside the window.

Teenage Boy: It really stopped….

The train had stopped in the middle of the cross-river track and the shimmering water’s surface reflected a hazy light on the window glass.

Kiro showed a relieved expression, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Ah Liu was also obviously relieved.

Seeing my nervousness, Kiro gently squeezed the palm of my hand.

Teenage Boy: I’m sorry. I have always been a cowardly person.

The young boy suddenly apologized as if he had mustered up a lot of courage.

Teenage Boy: I was afraid to face it so I chose to escape in the way I hated most. I will definitely try to make myself stronger in the future!

Kiro patted the boy’s shoulder lightly, showing an encouraging smile.

Kiro: Mn, I believe you.

Before we had time to be happy, there was a sudden recoil.

The train that had just stopped suddenly moved forward again!

I’m late I’m late for a very important dick appointment, date!

✨ 𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔 𝐒𝖕𝖔𝖔𝐤𝖎𝖊𝖘!!~ ✨

Idk about ya’ll BUT these new karma cards got me all 🤰🏻🤰🏻🤰🏻

TW: Proceed with cation!! Do NOT open if you do not wish to soak your panties and/or cry your eyes out at my appalling sense of ‘humor’ 

*Today I will be rating the new Valentines Day art for the Karma cards. The rating process was done by comparing them to their previous valentines day cards and how they went against one another on their level of sexyness within each card. 

🌸 𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖊𝖓 | 7/10 | 2nd Place

⚰️ My daddy he be lookin fine a FOULK this evening with his tiddie out. My baby knows how to keep me fed if ya know what I’m sayin.😏💦

⚰️ This beautiful, breathtaking, princely, lavishing work of art!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHGHJTE5LILO; (srry, orgasim seizure). 

⚰️ It’s just *pats eyes with handkerchief* I have never in all my life, witnessed a man of this design. Please, don’t mind me. I just need a moment to bask in the glory of this angel. 

⚰️ The 💦water droplets💦, his bedroom eyes, that CHEST- I-I...I just need a moment...

⚰️ Lucien has once and always stolen my heart BUT I do have to say that based off of some past cards, last years valentines card, and compared to Victor’s card this year that my Lulu has to come in second. 🤧

⚰️ His sultry, princely and sexyness is all there but we all know that Lucien can pull off a very dominating demeanor. Yet here he’s just giving me very submissive vibes this valentines. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

⚰️ And then this card has the AUDACITY to turn into this?!?! 👀👀

⚰️ Sighhhh...It is just so hard to watch MC living your dream... 

⚰️ This card just looks so sweet. The carressing embrace, Lucien’s calmly surprised expression, it’s just all so gentle. awwwwwe!!

⚰️ Although this card is very romantic Lucien still looks very submissive and sweet. (Like homie looks like he’s never done this before which. LIES. BITCH I KNOW YOU) 👏🏼👏🏼

⚰️ One of the things I love the most about Lucien’s character is his very teasing and dominating aura and last years valentines card sucked that up and did a beautiful job of expressing his teasing personality in the artwork. I am hoping that maybe where this art is lacking the date itself will make up for it.

⚰️ I do find this card to be the second most sexy out of all the boys but I feel like it just doesn’t feel as Lucien as I would have liked it to. 

⚰️ I do however find the artwork to be very beautiful and embracing. Especially when the card is evolved. The way Lucien holds MC in the second card creates this very innocent and warm embrace that reminds me of two people just on the verge of falling in love.

⚰️ It is a very sweet and romantic card and it is quiet cute to see Lucien all blushing and off guard instead of his usual impassive self.

🌸 𝐊𝖎𝖗𝖔 | 6/10 | 4th place

⚰️ The bestest boi of them all!!! 🥰

⚰️ Litterally nothing gets sweeter than Kiro!!

⚰️ So sweet, so fun loving! This sunshine of a boi makes life worth living! ☀️☀️

⚰️ Kiro is definitely the one who shows up at just the right time to make life a little better and brings out the inner child that my sun in capricorn tries to repress so intensely. 

⚰️ And this card does that sweet and playful image justice. Always stay warm Kiro!!! AWWEEE!!!

⚰️ All I can say is I wish I was that dog so I can paw Kiro’s chest too. 🤭

⚰️ Now, It pains me to put Kiro last but it is just that I feel that his card lacks a lot compared to the valentines card from last year. 

⚰️  We were hit with a very sexy Kiro and there has been plenty of other very VERY sexy Kiro cards up to this one that it just causes this one to hit different, you know? 

⚰️ This one really captures Kiro’s loving and boyish personality so I definitely love it over all as a Kiro card. I think that it does wonderful in that aspect. But for valentines day? I expect something a bit more saucy...like an underwear model shoot maybe... 😜

⚰️ BUT THEN we get THISS!!

⚰️ S-Shirtless Kiro *Internal screaming* kahhhh!!! I can’t take it I. 😝

⚰️ Sometimes I forget just how HORNY Kiro issss.... 

⚰️ I think it’s safe to say that MC is only making that face NOT bc Kiro took that magazine but bc she be getting poked sitting in that lap like that.- 👀🍆

⚰️ Shirtless Kiro is an upgrade from what we had before BUT I still feel like this compared to the other guys and other very sexy kiro cards before that this still only gives a very innocnet and homey vibe.

⚰️ I do think that this card is very cute but when rating it on it’s quality of sexyness comapred to the other boys, I sadly have to put Kiro as last place. 

⚰️ I am just hoping that next year all the Kiro stans get rewarded with a nice Calvin Klein underwear shoot. (I know I’d be happy)😌😌

🌸 𝐕𝖎𝖈𝖙𝖔𝖗 | 8/10 | 1st Place

⚰️ Tall, dark, and handsome AS FOULK!!!

⚰️ Victor never comes in to play no games yall!!!  👏🏼💦

⚰️ Did I say Kiro was horny? because I take that back. Sometimes I forget how BADLYYY Victor is trynnnaaa FUCK in EVERYYY date. 💀

⚰️ But like I ain’t mad. First off, Victor, daddy, can I have that designer bag? I’ll suck your di- 

⚰️ Just the abs, that boujee ass robe even the cute ass fucking ties on his arm I-

⚰️ Victor be putting the standards for guys really fucking high in my book. AND I AIN’T MAD.

⚰️ I just love this card. It is honestly my favorite out of all of them (sorry Lulu) It’s mature, it’s sexy, it’s elegant, suttle, and EVERYTIME I look at it my heart flutters. This card is VERY Victor and a beautiful design of his character and it makes me VERY horny happy. 💦💦

⚰️ T-That angle... *blushes* He is ready to go to town if ya know what I mean.

⚰️ But given that facial expression he’s already busted it- 👀🤧

⚰️ On a real note tho. Victor looks so sweet and vulnerable here (*what a pussy) it’s so cuteee!!! Like I ain’t ever seen him look so sweet. (*fucking bitch.) 

*I have a love hate relationship with Victor since he always likes to piss me off!!! But he cute so.

⚰️ Again I think that this card is my favorite out of all four of the valentines cards this year. I feel like the intimacy in this one is there. The imagery is very sexy but soft. I love their pose and I think that this card sells where we all like our minds to wonder off too. 

⚰️ My absolutae favortie part is the simple pull on Victors unbuttoned shirt. It is just so sweet and so soft of an embrance.

⚰️But also Victor’s hand on the counter. I want that hand to smack my ass so hard fuck. 😋

⚰️ If I had to (and I do) make one complaint about this card it is that I honestly HATE Victor’s expression in the evoled. It’s just too soft and sweet for my liking. And as a Capricorn myself I can assure you that any slip up of us expressing even just the slightest bit of our vulnerability to anyone we will rip ourselves apart head to toe for years on that one single event and I assume that even during Victor’s most intimate times that stone cold look would not fade as easily as it does in this card. 

⚰️I think that it is beautiful and no hate to the Victor stans who think he looks hot AF in this card. I am all for it. I just personally like my capricorns whipped into shape. 😌

🌸 𝐆𝖆𝖛𝖎𝖓 | 7/10 | 3rd Place

⚰️ This one gave me the most and best shock.

⚰️ My favorite Gavin cards are by far this and his valentines card from last year. 

⚰️ There is just something about Valentines day that gets Gavin in a sexy mood. (you’re secretly a hopeless romantic, aren't you Gavin huh...huh???)😏

⚰️ First off, GAVIN!!! I ain’t ever seen you look so SEXY. Sending me Eboy vibes to the MAX ughhhhh!!!! 

⚰️ I love the straps on his shirt and the fact that it’s wet and the glove PULLLLL!!! FUCKK GAVINNNNN!!! 💦🔥💦

⚰️ Gavin for me is everything that’s hot that I just can’t get behind but I WANT to get behind. You know? haha.

⚰️ He’s just such a good boy and a sad boi all at the same time and he holds a soft place in ma heart (but he’s definitely a one night stand and then I never call him again haahaaaa ahhhh) 🤧

⚰️ And then this card!! It is so cute! SO sweet!!! and just very beautifully intimate. They look so in love!!!

⚰️ I just know for a fact that this night is very gentle and very passionate. 

⚰️ S3x with Gavin may not be intense, but it is love that we all at one point need okayyy!!. *cries* 🥲

⚰️ Gavin’s card is probably my 3rd favorite out of all of the boys this year. I do really love his pose and they are very sexy and very sweet and also very Gavin for his event cards. I also enjoy that his expression is still very true to his character in the last card (I’m looking at you lulu and vic) 

⚰️ I just feel like the art lacks a lot of story in Gavin’s cards (even his ones last year too) They just look like they took valentines day photos together lol. 

⚰️ I don’t hate them and they are very beautiful I just wish there was more going on then what looks to be like Gavin modeling for a brand of Makers Mark Whiskey lol. 

⚰️ I actually haven’t played a single Gavin date🤭...so I don’t have much to say on how he reacts to MC outside of the regular story line and I am sure that his valentines date for our English Sever with him was very wonderful. Based off of Gavin’s main story character I wouldn’t consider him very romantic or at least not the one in control of planning their dates. I think that of all the boys Gavin’s Valentines would be the most laid back and I would like to see more of Gavin’s character coming through with the artwork of these dates if that’s the case.

ENDNOTES: 

⚰️  On a serious note these cards are very beautiful although...I think I honestly enjoyed last years Valentines cards more than this one (the ones we got this year in the english server)... (omg...no way...she said it)

⚰️ Don’t get me wrong! All these cards are VERY sexy and I do like it but I feel like they almost lack intensity that last year SOLD us. 

⚰️ I guess what I am trying to say is they all feel too vanilla if you know what I mean... Gavin’s card is the only one that gives me a sense of spice despite him being the sweetest out of all the boys. I just feel that these in comparison to how lavish last years cards were that I want to see more intensity. 

⚰️ I am curious to know if the cards will ever get to that point (I know that the game wont give us full blown porn scenes...*sigh* lol) but I am looking forward to seeing some imagery to withhold the imagination of such. 

⚰️ Basically I’m sad that Lucien had no scratch marks. That-That’s it! You caught me!! I just want to see my daddy’s skin all scratched up!! Is that too much to ask for?! 

⚰️ ALSO I WANT FULL SHIRTLESS (WITH NIPPLES) SSR CARDDDSSSSSSS AHHHFGJGKRIGKECGHGERMCHM!!!!

⚰️ This is all written for shits n giggles. Please take this lightly and kindly let me know what karma card you liked the most. 

Thank you for stopping by, 🖤 Yvaine.

CN Qixi Greetings - Victor’s Voice Actor

The actual video is too large to be shared on Tumblr so here’s the link!

🍒 Warning: References are made to Victor’s Undeclared Date (translated by @itaruchi-trash​) 🍒

More Interviews: Gavin l Kiro l Lucien l Shaw

Wu Lei: Hi everyone, I’m Wu Lei. I voice Victor in MLQC. How have you been? Have you been happy with our Old Vic recently? I came across a quote in Weibo which said that no matter how good of a friendship you have, everyone disappears once you start dating. Judging from CEO Victor’s packed schedule in the first half of the year, I have deeply experienced the logic in that phrase. Putting that aside, the annual Qixi Festival is coming soon. I wonder what surprises our CEO Victor has prepared for you *smiles cutely*. Make a guess? Are you able to guess? Are you looking forward to it? *shakes head* I won’t say anything.

Wu Lei: *laughs* Okay, I won’t hide it. Actually, I have no idea either. I have no idea what surprises there are. 

Comment: The producers already know what it is.

Wu Lei: Fine. As expected, you’re more important. 

Question: Are you able to share any interesting stories that happened while working on MLQC in the first half of the year?

Wu Lei: *changes his voice to the high-pitched voice he used when pretending to be the three-headed dragon in Undeclared Date* They’ve been asking me to do difficult things recently. They wanted me to do something at one moment, and another thing in the next. I said that I couldn’t do it. But they insisted that I could. After much effort, I managed to do it. Then, they said they wanted to change the direction. *sighs* They can’t be exactly the same. Hmph. So I said that if they wanted to continue being like this, I’d report it to Victor. 

Question: What have you been talking to Victor about over drinks recently?

Wu Lei: *voice returns to normal* You know this. It’s definitely about work. He’s CEO Victor. As the name implies, he’s CEO Victor. All of us know that CEO Victor has lots of experience in the business world. No matter how good your relationship is with him in private, you can’t let this opportunity pass by. Trust me. So in the area of business, I’d ask him many questions. That’s all.

Question: Does Teacher Wu Lei have anything to say to the producers?

Wu Lei: As always, I’m grateful for your love towards Victor. Actually, I believe that no one is completely perfect. Everyone has their own weaknesses. Our Victor is the same. He simply looks more mature and composed than we do. But I believe he’s just like us. He needs care and concern. He needs to be understood. He looks like he doesn’t need them, but that’s not really the case. Victor is someone we need to spend more time and effort in order to experience his world, and figure out that genuine person in his heart. I believe that love is a kind of responsibility. How should I put this. There may be many things that don’t need to be said aloud, and yet you’ll know them. But this isn’t an easy thing to do. Love is something that requires much time, and years of company. It also needs some chemistry in order to be attained. So I believe we feel the same way. Love can be seen, and it can be touched. 

Wu Lei: And love... exists in time. 

Wei Lei: The Qixi Festival is coming. I wish you and Victor a Happy Qixi Festival. I wish the both of you health and a happy life ahead. And may you get to eat delicacies every day.
