Chapter 232. Kiana's Turn~
[Ah??? No, ah??????]
[Dude, you're for real????]
[For the first time I've got a teacher I like in the back world, and a game designer in the front world who brings me joy.]
[Two happy things overlapping—and those two joys bring me even more joy....]
[White Album scholar, get him!! And now it's truly double-fandom ecstasy!!!!]
[When is the new Kaleidoscope series coming out? Urgent urgent urgent!]
[To be honest, I thought the old geezer didn't control my leisure-time entertainment enough already.]
[Now he's even got my kinks in the palm of his hand.]
[Guess my life's been captured by the old geezer, sad.jpg]
[Come to think of it, that Kaleidoscope art style was pioneered by the old geezer, right? Tsk tsk, his influence is just as big in the art scene as in gaming.]
[He can write the kid-friendly plot of Pokémon, also write White Album with emotions refined to the extreme, and then write something as twisted as Kaleidoscope—so is there anything the old geezer can't do?]
[Screenwriting, art, programming, design... Why does it feel like he's really a polymath? Is there truly anything he can't do?]
[No idea, but he probably can't have a baby.]
[He really can't have a baby.]
[Can't have a baby~]
[With today's tech, maybe it's not impossible?]
[Hm? I have a bold idea.]
[...]
The new blog had just gone live, and comments were popping up at dozens per second.
A few minutes later, the comment count broke ten thousand.
Xander Masato skimmed a few and chuckled, then stopped paying attention.
So what if he'd made an eroge before?
If this had come out before he made Pokémon, it might have affected him.
But now, for players, it was just a joke to tease him with.
Xander lost interest, but Seele hurried to snatch the phone with her small hands, hugging it as she read with relish.
Scrolling through the flood of new comments, Seele's eyes were smiling, and her soft laughter never stopped.
Xander didn't mind.
He let go and nestled directly against Seele's chest, lowering his head to nuzzle into the girl's delicate neck, eyes closed as he breathed in her scent.
Since the island was gone, the family trip plan had naturally fallen through.
There were alternatives, but either the climate wasn't right, or they'd need quite some time for repairs.
Public beaches were fine, but he didn't want anyone else seeing the girls in swimsuits.
So, after talking it over with Bronya and Kaguya just now, the group trip could only be postponed.
They'd wait until the typhoon surrounding the island passed and the island was repaired.
Speaking of the island... next time he should suggest not letting that Raven set foot on it.
With things like this, who can say for sure?
There was still more than half a month left before year's end.
With Eirin and Ken Sugisaki holding down the fort at the company, he didn't need to worry.
For the Gensokyo First Expo on New Year's Day, though, he'd need to show up in person.
And that night he could go walk the festival with Seele and the others.
It had been a long time.
As for returning to the orphanage, that could wait until the 2nd.
"Seele, want to go watch fireworks together for the New Year festival?"
"Mm? Yes!!"
Seele froze for a beat, then nodded excitedly.
Yukata, hand-holding, fireworks, a date!!
"Mm, then let's all go together."
In an instant, Seele's delighted expression cooled.
She said dejectedly, "So it's together. Seele thought..."
"Thought what? A one-on-one date?"
"Mm..."
Seele nodded slightly, put her hands over the big hands on her chest, stacking them.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
He glanced around, and once he was sure no one was nearby, Xander leaned close to Seele's ear and lowered his voice.
"Huh? R-really?"
"Of course."
Xander tightened his arms a little.
Seele cooperated by pressing closer, pricking up her ears to hear Brother's plan.
"That day, my phone signal might have issues. What about yours, Seele?"
Seele was smart.
She instantly understood what her Brother meant.
Her little face lit up as she said, "Seele's phone will also— no, Seele will definitely forget to bring her phone!"
"Mm-hm~"
Smiling, he kissed Seele's cheek.
Seele immediately couldn't stop giggling.
She lifted a small hand to pinch his face, and couldn't help but snicker. "Brother, you're so bad~"
"What? You don't like it?"
"I like it!"
She turned her head and "mua" kissed Brother on the lips, then flipped over to throw her arms around his neck, happily nuzzling and playing around.
But as they played, the mood gradually turned a little off.
Soon, laughter turned into ambiguous breaths and soft, powerless resistance, and did not stop for a long time.
"Fine, I won't go up. I'll just wait for him to come down, that's acceptable, right."
On the living room sofa, Mei spoke with a cold face.
Kiana kept pulling her to keep her from going upstairs, and when asked why, Kiana hemmed and hawed without saying, which made Mei hate iron for not becoming steel with her bestie.
Other people are bold and enterprising in love.
Why are you so weak and timid!!
Kiana was so anxious she nearly scratched her own hair.
She wanted to say it, too, but she didn't dare.
Why did she get hot-headed and run to Mei to complain just now?
This is agony.
Xander, please come down and save me!!
Unfortunately, reality rarely grants wishes.
The two of them waited for almost an entire afternoon.
Not until the sky turned orange did they see Bronya and Kaguya come downstairs, chatting and laughing, heading out for who-knows-what.
Then they waited until near dark, and finally saw Seele and Xander coming down together.
He had changed into loose loungewear, no longer lively as when he'd gone up.
He looked utterly drained.
Seele, though, had rosy cheeks and the look of someone blissfully content.
As they walked into the living room, Seele greeted them and then hummed her way into the kitchen to cook.
Mei fixed her gaze on Xander, ready to explain things to him once he came near.
Since Kiana didn't dare, she'd help!
Bullying her best friend was absolutely unacceptable to Mei!
But before she could speak, Xander saw Kiana and immediately lit up with the joy of a man spotting his savior.
"Kiana~"
The saccharine voice made Mei shiver on instinct, frowning in disgust at the opposite couch.
She despised it.
But Kiana didn't.
She even loved it.
Her cheeks flushed pink at once, giddy with happiness.
Wait, Kiana, where's your backbone?!!
Stand up straight, Kiana!!!
Seeing Kiana, Xander was genuinely happy.
Among his lovers, only Kiana didn't squeeze him dry.
"X-Xander, you're down."
Her voice was soft, without the least bit of dominance, and Mei felt Kiana hadn't listened to a single thing she'd said earlier.
"Mm, Kiana~"
He happily leaned in and hugged Kiana's waist, pressing his face against her flat belly.
That slender, flexible waist brought unrivaled comfort.
Just holding her left him deeply satisfied.
"What is it, Xander?"
Putting her hands down to hug his shoulders in return, Kiana asked gently.
"Nothing. It's just that having you here is wonderful."
"Eh? R-really, hehe..."
Watching the two instantly become lovey-dovey, without a trace of awkwardness, Mei's fists clenched.
Relationship crisis?
What relationship crisis!!!
So she was just a prop in Kiana-play, huh?
Mei's eye twitched twice, and she took deep breaths to calm her resentment.
Inhale~ exhale~
Inhale~ exhale~
Couldn't calm down!!
With a snap, Mei stood up and stalked toward the kitchen, murderous intent rising.
Her hands were itching.
She'd just chop something.
The sound of Mei's footsteps naturally didn't escape the two sets of ears.
Kiana whispered an apology in her heart, but quickly sank into her lover's affection again, unable to extricate herself.
She was, to some extent, a bit love-brained.
Just then, she lowered her head and happened to meet her lover's eyes.
A brilliant smile blossomed on her face.
Like a sunflower, just the sight of her made one feel warm.
"Kiana~"
"Mm~"
"Can I stay over in your room tonight?"
"Mm, no problem... eh?"
Dazzled by male beauty, Kiana agreed without thinking.
But no sooner were the words out than her whole body froze, eyes widening.
"W-wait, t-tonight, t-t-t, together?!!!!"
Crimson spread across Kiana's cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her scrambled thoughts left her tongue-tied.
"Mm."
He sat up, kissed the rigid Kiana, leaned to her ear, and murmured softly, "I want to wake up together with you. Is that okay?"
"W-w-wake up t-together!!!!"
"Th-this, I-I-I— I…!"
"Eh?!!!!!!!"
At last, her brain made a full revolution and understood what Xander meant.
In an instant, her mortified cry echoed through the whole living room, making Seele and Mei both poke their heads out from the kitchen in curiosity.
With a swish, Kiana shoved Xander away.
She shot to her feet with a blazing face and ran toward the bedroom, slamming the door shut with a bang.
"What happened to Kiana?"
Seele asked, puzzled.
"No idea. Maybe she's shy."
Answering Seele and Mei, he had barely finished when Kiana's door opened again.
Head down, she ran back—thump thump thump.
Under Xander's amused gaze, Kiana whispered in a mosquito-soft voice, "T-tonight I'll wait for you."
Then she couldn't hold it together any longer and bolted back to her room.
"Brother, you can't bully Kiana!"
She didn't know the full story, but Seele knew Xander well.
Her little face stiffened with seriousness.
"No helping it. Kiana's too cute."
Stretching lazily, Xander stood.
Just now, he'd indeed spoken ambiguously on purpose to make Kiana misunderstand.
After all, her red-faced embarrassment was just too adorable.
Now it was time to go explain.
Tonight was really just sleeping.
No way he'd do anything to Kiana.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
At night, Xander showed up in Kiana's room as promised.
Her room was decorated in a cute style, cats everywhere—patterns and plushies alike.
The pale blue bed radiated girlish vibes.
When he came in, he locked the door out of habit.
The click made the kneeling Kiana startle, almost jumping up.
"That nervous?"
Seeing the girl suddenly switch from kneel-sitting to duck-sitting, Xander couldn't help but laugh.
"B-because it's the first time..."
Kiana wore only a light, gauzy nightdress.
Under the lamp it was almost translucent, faintly revealing the tender skin beneath.
Her lovely figure showed and hid under the gauze.
Combined with the quiet atmosphere, there really was a different flavor to it.
Clutching her hem tight, Kiana bit her lip. "Xander, are we really not doing anything?"
"We're not. Didn't we agree?"
"Oh..."
Wait, why do you look a little disappointed?
Having showered and ready to rest, he walked straight to the bed. Kiana quickly made room for him and lifted the single blanket for him.
He slowly undid his buttons. Kiana didn't move during this process, just watched him.
Her eyes were fixed on that strong body, especially when the buttons were undone and she saw his chest and abdomen. Kiana's throat couldn't help but gulp.
So tempting. Want to touch, want to .
Even before they confirmed their relationship, she was secretly taking advantage. Now that the relationship is confirmed, her desire for Xander is even less hidden. She just covets Xander's body, she's honest!
Seeing him take off his shirt and about to take off his pants, Kiana finally placed her somewhat weak hands on the straps of her nightdress and said with a trembling voice: "D, do I need to take this off?"
"Take it off, it's uncomfortable to hold you with pajamas in the way."
"Oh."
Xander's completely straightforward attitude also calmed Kiana down a bit.
She took a long, deep breath and gently pulled down the straps.
The loose nightdress slid off very easily, just like its owner's defenses, which were practically nonexistent in front of a certain someone.
The warm air caressed her body. Being completely exposed now made her nervously close her eyes.
Soon, a familiar warm embrace picked up her body. She went with the flow, letting Xander do as he pleased. When she came to her senses, she found she was already lying comfortably in the blanket, and next to her was the figure she often dreamed of.
One hand subconsciously placed itself on that firm chest, feeling it all over. Her face was flushed, and she lifted her head, her eyes shimmering like water.
Kiana could feel that they were pressed very close together. His warm palm crossed her slender waist to rest on her rear, and the strange feeling between her thighs made her whole body tingle, even through the layer of fabric.
Her breath grew hot.
Kiana opened her mouth, and even she was surprised by how sultry her voice sounded. "Xander, really not…?"
Xander opened his eyes.
He looked at Kiana and smiled, speaking gently. "Of course not. You're my most precious treasure. How could something like this be so casual?"
"Xander..."
Kiana couldn't hear anything else.
She only heard, "You're my most precious treasure."
She was Xander's treasure!
Her heart thumped.
Tears were about to spill from her eyes.
She gave him a soft, bewitching look, then raised her head and closed her eyes.
What she wanted needed no words.
