Ikki ()

CV: Taniyama Kishou ( )

Ikki is a very devoted and affectionate man. Although he seems like a playboy at first glance, there is much more to his

character than is first revealed. His route focuses a lot on his story and his eyes and not much is revealed about why the heroine

lost her memories. However, the fact that the story is focused on Ikki doesnt make his route any less enjoyable. He genuinely

adores and loves the heroine and the depths of his affection can be clearly seen in his bad and normal routes.

The game starts with a trippy blue tyedyed screen. A mysterious voice worriedly mutters that this is bad if he killed a human,

because hell be punished. The heroine opens her eyes to see a young boy with horns standing in front of her asking her if shes

alright and that he was worried he might have accidently killed her. He tells her that hes a ghost, asks if she can see him, andthen talks about how shes surprisingly calm.

The ghost boy introduces himself as Orion and talks about how he came to the real world for some business and somehow

managed to accidently make the heroine lose her memories. Hes really apologetic and will travel with her and do anything to

help her regain them, although he informs her that he cant touch anything and nothing can touch him. Other people wont be

able to see him, either.

The heroine doesnt remember her name at all and so has to make one up. From now on, she will call herself Lin. Orion

explains that right now theyre in a parallel world and so they need to return to her world, but he also gives her instructions notto let anyone know of her memory loss because she might be cheated or lied to. He tells her to close her eyes and pick a world

that she wishes to return to, because he cant remember where she came from. Lin chooses the world of spades.

81 . Orion decides to start the search for Lins memories by asking her family members, except it turns out that shes livingalone. He was wandering around Lins house while she slept and found out that it was the start of August and that it doesnt

seem like she has any relatives. He suggests looking through her things for clues. They look through her bag and find out that

shes a first year university student and that her name really is Lin.

They score by finding her cellphone and they start looking at it to find out who is on her address list and whether anyone mailed

her. Suddenly, the phone starts ringing and its a call from someone called Ikki. Orion warns her to be careful for anyone who

might be tricking her, but thinks that they should pick up the phone for more clues. Lin answers the phone and Ikki immediately

tells her that she doesnt have to work today and that they should go out to some place together.

Orion is instantly alarmed and tells her not to say anything, which leads to Ikki mentioning that(I have a lot of time. Feel free to say something selfish). Lin asks where he wants to goand Ikki responds that hes fine with wherever she wants to go and then adds(Ah, but if you want to come up to my house, then Ill have to prepare it). Orion exclaimsloudly in a frightened voice (Preparations?! What preparations!?). IM REALLY ENJOYINGORIONS PERSONALITY AND THE WAY HE REACTS TO THINGS. SO ADORABLE ()!

Ikki tells her that its a joke though and not to be so silent. However, he soon becomes serious and tells Lin that anywhere is

fine for their date and that he just wants to see her. Orion muses on how this Ikki could become a supporter if hes really her

boyfriend, but they dont know for sure and so it seems like theyll have to gamble. Lin decides to go and Ikki answers(Un, thats relieving. You were silent for so long that I was gettingnervous). IM GETTING HINASE FLASHBACKS WITH IKKIS JOKING VOICE SO I CANT HELP BUT BE BIASED TO HIS

CHARACTER ALREADY. I HOPE IKKI IS J UST AS AWESOME AS HINASE~()!Lin and Orion decide to check the phone for any other mails or addresses, since they were interrupted by Ikkis phone call. It

turns out that the phone is empty of everything but the lateset call. Orion hypothesizes that when she was in the accident that

lost her memories her phone was wiped of all its data too. They wait at the house for 30 minutes, because that was the time Ikki

told them.

At the appointed time nothing happens and so they wait 10 minutes more. Orion mentions that hes getting kind of nervous and

filled with suspense. 20 minutes after that nothing happens. 30 more minutes and hes filled with anger at how Ikki is holding

Lin up, but then wonders if they had a meeting place that they usually meet at.

They leave the house and see someone surrounded by women. One of the girls tells Ikki to ditch the heroine and play with them

but he tells them that he made a promise. They ask if he go out with them later and he tells them that he will if he has time,

making them all scream like fangirls. Orion is completely unimpressed and ask what is up with that shady man and if he is

cosplaying.SASUGA ORION, HAHAHAHAHA, BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE IKKIS CLOTHES.

Ikki tells his group of fangirls that he has to leave now to meet Lin and the girls all complain about that some more, before

making him promise that hell play with them later. Orion stares at the whole spectacle flatly before telling Lin(We must be wrong. Un, probably wrong.Definitely wrong. This has nothing to do with us so lets head back to your room). SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG IF I

AM STARTING TO LOVE ORION AND LIKE HIM MORE THAN ANY OF THE ROMANCEABLE GUYS().



3/46

Back at the room Orion wonders about what would happen if that outrageous guy outside was Ikki and he happened to be her

boyfriend. He also muses out loud that he only thought those kinds of people could be found in shoujo mangas and otome

games. He thinks that Lin should separate herself from him in that case, but Lin thinks itd be better to maintain their

relationship. Ikki rings the doorbell at that time and so Lin and Orion head out to meet him. He apologizes for making her wait

and then asks them to head off.

Orion gnashes his teeth behind Ikki and talks about how if he could touch other people hed kick Ikki. He also realizes that

theres no doubt that this man is her boyfriend, but he wonders how the two of them ever got together. Lin tells Ikki to refuse

other girls and Ikki mentions that her becoming jealous is an unusual thing, but then tells her that( Then, heres what well do. As an apology for making youwait, Ill grant any of your wishes).

He goes on to say(Anything is fine. Ofcourse Ill grant your wish if its something nice that you want) but then he adds(As for me, I wouldnt mind you asking for something carnal). SASUGAPLAYBOY (

) MY FACE IS TURNING RED.He comes closer to her and tells her to look into his eyes and repeats againthat hell grant her anything she wishes and asks what she thinks about when hes standing this close to her.

Lin replies that she only thinks that hes standing a little too close. Ikki laughs and tells her that she really is too innocent. He

steps a little aways from her and then mentions that they should head off to the movies now.

Orion takes this time to tell her to try and talk to Ikki without making him suspicious. He also mentions that if Ikki tries

anything then hell already have 100 escape routes plotted out and they can run for their lives, but that if she also really wants to

be with him then Orion can prevent himself from seeing and hearing anything so that he doesnt get in their way. He also adds

that if she ever needs him she can call for him loudly in her heart and hell be able to hear and come to her.

As theyre walking Ikki mentions the strange weather of how its freezing cold even though it is only August. Then he mentions

that shes been silent this whole time which is strange. Orion quickly tells Lin to smile at him and make something up and

smirks smugly at how easily they tricked Ikki, before he drops the act and laughs nervously while talking about how his heart

was pounding.

In the darkness of the theatre, Ikki apologizes for his condition always troubling the heroine and says that in the darkness of the

theatre where no one is looking at him he can finally see her face clearly. Orion is confused and wonders what kind of condition

Ikki has that makes him need to wear sunglasses and have girls surrounding him. He wonders if Ikki is some sort of celebrity or

famous person.



4/46

After the movie, Ikki talks about how the time is already this late and that they both should go home because of their part-time

job tomorrow. Orion is worried because Lin has no idea where she works and they cant ask Ikki any strange questions like

what his condition is or where she works. Thankfully Ikki asks Lin if she knows her wish for him to grant and she tells him to

escort her to work tomorrow. He tells her that its an odd request, but hell grant it and that its no problem because they work a

the same place and have the same shift. Ikki tells the heroine that she should rest well tonight, since shes been acting a little

strange all day.

At home, Orion summarizes everything that theyve learned. He realizes that Ikki is just another normal guy who works part-

time and so isnt an idol, but he still wonders about the condition. Lin gets a mail from Ikki apologizing for this morning again

and then she gets another from unknown address asking about the report that was due yesterday. Orion tells her not to worry

about it and that she can finish it when she finds out what she does at her part-time job.

82 . Ikki wakes Lin up with a phone call and then says that he didnt know that she wasnt a morning person. He asks her ifshe wants him to call her to wake her up from now on and she agrees to it. Orion helps Lin prepare and they go out to meet Ikki

only to run into the trouble of what to call him. In the end, she decides to call himIkki-san and he doesnt seem to thinkanything odd of it and so Orion is relieved.

Another problem occurs with what Lin eats in the morning before going to work. She manages to avoid suspicion by

mentioning that the usual bread will do. They encounter a train crossing and Ikki mentions how he usually passes this, but

because hes escorting her today it seems they were a bit slow. He tells her to stand back a little, because its dangerous.

When they get to the place that they work, Ikki greets a younger man. He calls him Shin and they both talk about how odd it is

for Ikki to be in Lins company in the morning. Shin teases Ikki about him having a strange face and being in a cheerful mood

today. Shin tells Lin to hurry up and change too and Orion grumbles about his superior attitude even though hes so young.



5/46

After changing, Orion and Lin are surprised at how good-looking Ikki is in work clothes. Orion says that he now understands

why girls flock around Ikki. Ikki notices her looking at him and mentions how it makes him happy, but she should pay attention

since the manager is coming. The managers pep talk resembles a generals speech more than anything else and he drives in the

point that customers are not gods, instead theyre the enemy! He wants everyone to repeat after him too. HAHAHA,

OHMYGOD, I AM DYING HERE LAUGHING AT WAKA-SAN THE MANAGER. HE CALLS EVERYONE KISAMA AND

TREATS THE CAFE LIKE A BATTLEGROUND.

Lin somehow manages to remember the greeting for customers and takes their orders. She goes to the back to deliver the orders

for drinks to Ikki who manages those. Shin manages the tea sets or something and then asks for 2 parfaits. The two men stand

there in silence before Ikki gently reminds her that shes in charge of parfaits. Uh oh Lin doesnt remember how to make it at

all and Ikki jokes about if she lost all her memories on that day when they had no work. He gets behind her and teachers her

how to make it.

A flashback happens where she remembers Ikki being in the same position and teaching her. Memory!Ikki asks if she has it

remembered now or if she wants him to show her one more time. Lin snaps back to the present when Ikki asks if shes alright

and she stumbles before collapsing on the ground. Shin and Ikki are surprised and the latter tries to help her up, but she tells himthat she can stand on her own.

Shin tells her to go home if shes not feeling well or else shell be a hindrance. Ikki tells him to be more delicate to females and

Shin snaps at him about how he always says that, but hes just using those words to seduce them. Ikki muses on how that might

be true, but women like to be seduced. Shin wonders exasperatedly if he should say those things in front of Lin. Ikki tells Shin



6/46

that she knows his personality, but Shin mutters that if he were her then hed be pissed. Ikki points out that Shin isnt a girl

though and this makes Shin grit his teeth.

Ikki realizes that this isnt the place to hold the conversation though, because Waka, the manager, is yelling at them to stop

talking and do their job. After the job ends, Lin is rebuked by the manager for causing trouble and forcing her friend to shoulder

most of her work. Orion reassures her that shell do better when she remembers how to do their job and that it was natural for

her to feel faint when a memory rushed back.

As they prepare to get changed, Ikki comes by to say that hell walk her home and that theyll meet at the usual place. Orion

yells at Ikkis retreating back about where that place is and why he wont just wait for Lin to get changed and instead walks off

even though he said that hell walk her home. They hurriedly get changed and head outside to see Ikki surrounded by girls

again, except this time he has his sunglasses on. The girls ask if hes going to walk home with Lin, but he responds that he isnt

really and then tells them that hell walk with them halfway.

Orion is angry that Ikki went back on his words, but then wonders about what Ikki said from before about waiting at the usual

place. He realizes that Ikki and Lin must meet somewhere after he ditches his fangirls, but then becomes irritated at how Ikki

doesnt refuse them outright and instead does this. The problem now is that they dont know where the usual place is and sothey wander around until Ikki phones Lin and tells her that he was waiting at the usual place, but she didnt show.

It cant be helped and so Lin answers that she isnt feeling so well. Ikki apologizes for making her have to go to the usual place

and tells her not to move from her place and tell him the landmarks so that he can get to her. Orion realizes that the problem wil

continue to persist if they still dont know where the usual spot is, but comes up with the plan to tail Ikki after work tomorrow.

They manage to get home and Orion exhales loudly at how they managed to get through the day. He wonders why Ikki is so

nice to Lin and why he prefers her over other women, even though he said at the cafe that hes fond of girls. He wonders if the

her from before she had amnesia had the mindset of(Its okay if you cheat, as longas Im your favourite!). He grumbles about how he doesnt understand anything and then wonders about the mail she got from

yesterday asking about the report, because no one at work mentioned it.

83 . Lin manages to get to work without forgetting the way that was shown to her. She gets yelled at by the manager againthough and Shin tells her not to make the manager angry, because it affects him too. However, after work ends, Waka

grudgingly tells her that she did much better than yesterday and expects the same from her tomorrow. As they head out they

bump into Ikki who tells her that hell walk her home and he came because he was worried about whether or not she collapsed

again.

She thanks him for going out of his way, but apparently he had other business. He then becomes serious and asks her if shes

hiding anything from him, because shes been acting strange ever since that first day. He tells her that she doesnt have to bear

things alone and that she should rely on him since hes her boyfriend.UH OH.. SUSPICION ALERT! AND SO IKKI REALLY ISHER BOYFRIEND, I WAS GETTING KIND OF CONFUSED WITH THE WAY HE ACTED AROUND OTHER GIRLS ( _

).SASUGA PLAYBOY.

Lin doesnt say anything though and Ikki muses out loud about how shes always like this; the type of person to try and do

everything herself. As they walk he talks about how he thinks that she might like him, but then asks her if she thinks thats

conceited of him to think that way. He tells her that he isnt expecting an answer though. When they finally get to the front of

her house, Ikki asks her slowly(Should I return your bag?) which makes Orion exclaim hissurprise and then Ikki adds(Ah, itd probably be best to return it. Comecloser), before he suddenly pins her against the wall. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CG()!



7/46

As he looks into her eyes he whispers(Your eyes.. havent closed) and then tellsher(I ts hard to kiss you like this. Unless.. this is yourresistance..?). He talks about how it seems like he was conceited to think that she liked him that way. Ikki tries again and

whispers for Lin to close her eyes and then huskily tells her( I wont do..anything scary..).

Lin still doesnt close her eyes though and so he exhales really loudly before stepping away and saying that it seems like she

still wont let him. He talks about how he thought shes be defeated by this kind of thing this time and that its taken a month to

get to this point. He wonders out loud if itll take another month to repair his reputation with her and that this is the first time

hes had such a hard time with a girl.

Then he talks about how this is also the first time a girl hasnt fallen for him from the beginning and he wonders if she also

counts as his girl who is a friend and thinks about how that wouldnt be so bad. However, Ikki then smirks and says that he was

lying. In a month he wants to be able to make her fall for him. He ends with (Admitting defeat is something that I wont do). OH HO, BRING IT BOY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BET IS ON.Orion is confused with what is happening. He thought that Ikki went out with the heroine because he liked her, but now itdoesnt seem to be the case? It seems almost like a game to him. And then Orion wonders if the Lin from before even liked Ikki

before deciding to go out with him.

84 . The two of them head off to work again and meet Ikki there. Waka calls another meeting and then talks about the topicof co-worker relationships and how they arent allowed to get in the way of work. It turns out that Shin saw Ikki pin her against

the wall yesterday and tattled on them. Ikki isnt bothered at all, though he tells Shin to remember what he did, and then he

apologizes to Lin for making her embarrassed.

Ikki informs Lin that he has some business after work and so he wont be able to walk her home. Work continues on as usual,

although this time a group of girls come in asking for Ikki and wanting him to teach them how to be maids. He tells them that he

cant give them his address, though if they find him walking home they can ask any questions that they want.

Shin comes by and asks if Lin isnt jealous with the way that Ikki is acting, but she tells him that shes used to it although itd

be nice if he didnt do it.Shin tells her that if he was going out with someone and saw her talking to guys like that he wouldnt

just stand by and watch quietly. Then he tells her that he has no business with their relationship, though he thinks that their

relationship is weird and then leaves.



8/46

At home, Ikki sends a message to Lins cellphone apologizing for not being able to walk her home. Orion talks about how

Ikkis character is complex and confusing and he wonders if talking to other girls and letting them hang around has anything to

do with Ikkiscondition.

85 . At work the next day, Ikki asks Waka about what Shin told him. Waka tells them that Shin said he saw the heroine runaway crying when Ikki forced himself on her. Ikki nonchalantly says that those words are cruel because he didnt even kiss her.

Waka already realized that the situation was probably like that, but tells them to keep their relationship separate from work.

Ikki asks Lin if she has been acting strangely because of how close he is to her, but then mentions that it probably isnt that

reason even though hed be happy if it was. He asks her if shell tell him what is going on in her life now, but Lin tells him thatits a secret. Ikki sighs gently but abides by her wishes and tells her that hell wait for her to come to him even though he

thought shed have enough confidence in him to rely on him. Orion mentions in the background that Ikki is the one with the

problem here, because they dont know if they can trust his character.

Work finally ends and it was busy because there was only Ikki and Lin on shift today. Orion notes that all of her work days are

timed with Ikkis work days and that both of them have a three day break on the 19th to 21st. He wonders why Ikki and Lin

have so many work days and if they need the money to go on some sort of trip. Orion also finds out that there is another worker

at the cafe called Mine.

Ikki tells Lin to meet at the same place they always do and then walks out. Outside, he is surrounded by girls as usual and they

ask him if he can walk home with them but he uses the excuse that hes busy writing a paper for University. Lin and Orion stalk

him as hes walking to find out where the place is that they need to meet and successfully find it without arousing suspicion.

Unfortunately, they forget to ask Ikki about whether or not they have a trip planned.

86 . The next day at work, Lin meets a girl friend of hers who talks about a lot of things like how good Lin looks in a maidoutfit, if she gets a lot of loyal customers, and whether or not she gets jealous when Ikki is surrounded by fan girls. Ikki comes

by during this time to ask if there is anything wrong and something odd happens to Sawa, Lins friend.

Her personality changes and she acts like a fangirl to Ikki, even saying things likeDo you believe in love at first sight?!, to

which he says that he does but then he asks her if her feelings change when he walks behind her. He explains that people act

strangely when they look into his eyes and that its his condition. Sawa is surprised that it isnt a rumour. OHMYGOD

HAHAHA, I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT THIS. SOMEHOW THIS MAKES ME LOVE IKKI MORE NOW THAT I KNOW HIS

CONDITION IS THE ABILITY TO CHARM ANY FEMALE WITH HIS EYES ()!!

Ikki leaves the two of them after telling Lin that she can continue talking to her friend, because Waka is busy. Sawa apologizes

for flirting with her boyfriend and then says that it felt like a magic spell was cast over her. She talks about how she came here

to see Ikki as well as Lin in her maid costume, because she wanted to see if there was any truth in the rumours about him.



9/46

The rumours about him are that hes very nice to women he dates, but that he considers it a game and leaves them when hes

done. And then theres the rumour about his eyes being able to make women fall in love with him at first

sight.*SNORTGIGGLE* IKKI YOU PLAYBOY~. Sawa talks about how it might be that whenever a girl falls in love with him

then the game ends, but then she apologizes for saying something that Lin probably understands already.

Work continues and ends as usual. Orion talks about how as a spirit hes never seen humans possess this kind of power and that

if the power is real then its the first time hes seen it. He talks about how he understands Ikki a little better, especially why he

wears sunglasses everywhere.

87 . Lin goes to work and Ikki talks about how she should be careful with her body, because it wouldnt be good if shecaught a cold. After work, the two of them meet at their usual place after Ikki ditches his fangirls. Orion is wondering why there

are still girls following Ikki even though he has his sunglasses on.

At the square, Ikki talks about a trip to the mountains and Orion pieces together that the two of them are going to go on a trip to

that place during the 3 day break from work. Sawa is coming too for some reason and Ikki talks about how curious it is that

shes asking questions about it all of a sudden, unless shes looking forward to spending time alone with him. His voice lowers

about how if she wants to hell share a room with her and that they could go look at the stars together.

But then his voice returns to normal as he muses out loud about how shell have to have fallen in love with him before then for

that to happen. He calculates that he has just two weeks left and that normally hed say that itd be an easy victory, but he isnt

sure with her.

At home, Lin gets an email from Ikki talking about how hell also be bringing a friend to the camping trip. Orion is surprised

when it turns out that Lin and Ikki go to different universities. Lin asks if Ikki will introduce her to his friend later on, to which

he agrees with confusion and says that his friend isnt exactly a nice person and that she shouldnt believe anything he says.

Before they go to sleep, Orion thinks about how hes been in Lins heart for a week now and that the only memories theyve

managed to collect are her memories of work. Unfortunately, they cant really be exposed to different stimuli to jog her memory

when she has to work every day.

88 . At work the next day, Mine has come back from a trip and everyone welcomes her back into the shop. She greets Ikkiin a sickeningly sweet voice and then does a 180 personality change when she greets Lin. She seems to have feelings for Ikki

and, when she is alone with Lin, she talks about how surprising it is that Ikki hasnt left her after a month and that if the

relationship hasnt progressed and no one has been refused then something must be wrong with Lin.WHY DID I HAVE THE

FEELING THAT SHED BE A BIG BITCH? ( --).



10/46

After work, Mine asks to talk to Ikki for 10 minutes. Ikki tries to excuse himself out of it by talking about how busy he is and

how he promised to walk Lin home, but ultimately concedes and tells Lin to wait for him. In the end, it takes 30 minutes and he

runs to the meeting spot and apologizes for making her wait. He notices that her hands are freezing and offers to hold hands

with her, because his body has been warmed by his running but then he talks about how shell probably say no.

Hes surprised when Lin agrees and so the both of them hold hands as he walks her to her house. Lin asks about what Mine

talked to him about and he tells her that she said the usual things like why he hasnt dumped Lin yet and if he wouldnt rather

go out with her instead and that shed be more fun. Of course he says he refused and then he starts muttering to himself about

how there are many women that say that to him and not just Mine.

Ikki even admits that sometimes he might just hate women. Lin asks if he hates her, but he replies that he doesnt because she

doesnt love him. When Lin gets home she gets a message from Ikki asking her about a hypothetical situation involving a man

that she liked and a girl who was trying to get that man to go out with her instead of Lin.

He asks if Lin would confess in that situation, to which Lin said that she wouldnt. He replies promptly with that he didnt think

she would and that he wouldnt confess in that situation either. He thanks her and says that hes feeling relieved for some

reason. OH HMM IT LOOKS AS IF IKKI HAS A SENSITIVE AND INSECURE SIDE. SORT OF STEREOTYPICAL THAT THE

PLAYBOY WOULD BE AFRAID OF LOVE YOUR ROUTE BETTER NOT LET ME DOWN IKKI ()! Orion wonders

if Ikkis mail had anything to do with todays situation with Mine.

89 . Work starts off roughly with Shin coming in and getting angry at Ikki for not rejecting Mine softly enough, becauseapparently Mine phoned him and said that she was heartbroken from Ikki and was going to boycott work today. Shin even told

the manager again. SHIN.. WHAT ARE YOU? 5? STOP TATTLING.

After work Lin goes to the usual place to wait for Ikki, but sees someone strange standing there. When Ikki arrives he

recognizes the man as Kent, his friend, and the two of them start a hilarious fight which involves Kent challenging Ikki because

theyre academic rivals. Ikki invites Kent over to his house and also invites Lin if she has nothing to do. She definitely wants to

come along.



11/46

She curiously looks around Ikkis room and Kent wonders why shes doing that, because she should be familiar with this place.

Orion is worried that theyre being suspicious, but Ikki answers that(Its her first time. This princess hasnt given me the priviledge of a kiss yetand so I couldnt have shown her my room yet). Then he leaves to get them drinks and tells them to sit down and make

themselves comfortable.

Lin takes this time to ask Kent about how they became friends. Kent explains that they met on their first day of university and

some trouble happened with Ikki and a girl who claimed that she fell in love with him. Kent wants to find out about the origin

and truth of Ikkiscondition and continues to be his friend for that reason, but Ikki refuses to tell him the truth and just

laughs off any questions about it.

She asks about if math is Ikkis strongest subject, because that was what they were fighting about on the street. Kent answers

that Ikki seems to be good at everything and math is supposed to be his strongest subject and so he wants to trump Ikki in that.

Finally, Lin asks if Kent has met any other women and he replies that he has but that shes different from all of them. He has an

interest in her because she seems to be resistant to Ikkis charms, but now that he has seen her he finds her really commonplace.

Orion hisses angrily at this and thinks that Kents words are rude. Ikki comes back with tea and comments on how they seem begetting along very well with each other which makes Orion and Kent reply No, were not at all!

Night falls and Ikki offers to escort Lin back home and so Kent replies that hell excuse himself as well then. While he goes to

get his stuff, Ikki stands up and steps closer to Lin and says that with Kents departure so will her courage depart and so shell

probably want to go home, but then he adds(Unless, you want to sleep over? I dont mind and I can give you a change of clothes?).

He smirks at her silence and tells her(Itll be fine. I dont mean that in a Ill-pounce-on-you-like-a-wolf way, but that I ll be exercising myrestraint). Then he adds(Or I can alwayssleep on the floor. If you dont want anything to happen then nothing will happen), but his voice drops when he says(Whether or not you want to believe those words is up to you).Lin completely stutters as she tries to say something which makes Ikki ask her in a teasing lilting voice(Hm? Whats wrong your face is all flushed) and then he whispers (Ne, will you really not sleep over?). Theres a long awkward silence until Ikki suddenly starts snickering beforelaughing out loud and apologizing to her for laughing, but that her frantic face was too funny. HNNNNNNNG I LOVE IKKIS

LAUGH ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DOES IT AFTER THAT IJ IWARU JOKE. SO SEXY (* *).

Then he adds while chuckling(Ill escort you, Ill escortyou. And I wont do anything either ahahaha). He tries to pull himself together and tells her that its cold outside and so



12/46

hell lend her his jacket which she can return at work tomorrow, but then starts laughing again and gasping out(Haha.. No, sorry. But its just.. your face.. ahaha).

Orion is frothing at the mouth and yelling at Ikki not to say those kind of things and that he was thinking of 100 ways to escape

the situation. Ikki then becomes more serious and says that shes welcome to his house whenever she wants to. Not only to

sleep over, but also to live in if she wants. He mentions lightly that today was just a preview and then tells her to think about it

with a smirk. Lin is escorted home.

In her room Orion exhales loudly with relief at being able to make it home safely. Then he complains about how he thought

they were safe when, because his friend was there but then Ikki pulls a stunt like that. He wonders about what Ikki met with

theliving with him comment and Lin thinks that the her from before might have talked with him about sharing a room to

lower their expenses.

810 . The moment Lin steps into the cafe, Mine talks about how Lin is going to go see the fireworks with Ikki, isnt she?Somehow she manages to weasel her way into going with them so that itll become the three of them rather than the two of

them and she even got permission from the boss and Shin doesnt care. HOW THE HELL DID SHE PULL THAT OFF?!

BORROWING A LINE FROM ORION!!!!

When work ends, Ikki confirms Orions suspicions that the two of them had made a promise to go view the fireworks together

with just the two of them. Ikki talks about how hes looking forward to seeing Lin in a yukata and knowing that because she

needs time to change he tells her to head home first and that hell be at her house around 6:30. Ten minutes before the time that

he is supposed to arrive, Orion compliments Lins clothing.

At 6:30 Orion is nervous. Twenty minutes after that he wonders if Ikki isnt going to come. Thirty minutes after that he is pissed

enough to tell Lin to head on down, because no doubt Ikki will be down there. Orion is right and when they get down they see

Ikki surrounded by his fangirls. He doesnt sound pleased, but still tries to remain polite as he tries to detach himself from them

because he has a promise to keep to Lin. Hes also not wearing his sunglasses because its night.

The girls finally decide that theyll release him if he gives them all a kiss on the cheek. This enrages Orion, even more so when

Ikki tells them that he doesnt mind. Thankfully, the whole group is interrupted by some woman who Ikki callsRikaand she

calls himIkki-samaand breaks up the fanclub as well as pointing out Lin who is standing there waiting. Ikki gets a little

annoyed and tells her that he thought he told her to wait in her room until he went to get her.

Lin apologizes and the girls in the fanclub finally leave when they realize they wont get any farther with Ikki. The mysterious

woman named Rika also leaves and then its just Ikki and Lin. He compliments her on her yukata and then talks about how its

a shame that theyre going to miss most of the festival. He wanted to try and catch goldfish with her and do other couple-like

things. The fireworks are even starting, but he gets the idea to go to the tallest building that they can find and stand on the roof



13/46

to watch the fireworks. IM NOT SURE I LIKE IKKIS PLAYBOYNESS.. HES SORT OF BECOMING STEREOTYPICAL (

_).

They sit down and Lin mentions that theyre sitting kind of close. Ikki is surprised that she is reserved even in this situation and

then asks her what she will permit him to do in a place like this. He points out that no one can see them on the building,

especially because people will be looking up at the fireworks. He laughs and asks her what she is suddenly on guard for and

then tells her that shes too slow since shes already here with him in the dark.

Ikki then tells her( But if you really hate this then..),(I f you dont like me holding your hand, if you dont like me sittingclose to you, then you should drop the pretense and run away right now), and then he adds(When I look at you like this I have to fight my reasonIm not going to do anything, but I cant absolutely promise that).He notices that she cant do it and then his voice falls

into a murmur as he talks about how oddly enough he feels content with just this much. Being able to smell her and feel her

shoulders brush against his own. GYAHH! IKKI! I LOVE IT WHEN HE SAYS THINGS LIKE THIS ABOUT HOW HE IS

HAVING TO RESTRAIN HIMSELF (* *).He talks about how hed be lying if he said that he was content enough to remain in this stage forever. Then he asks her in a

whisper(About before, will you still not permit me to kiss you..?).His voice lowers when he points out(Ah, are you nervous? Your hand istrembling). He prompts her to say something and she manages to say that the fireworks look beautiful. He hums and accepts

her change of subject by agreeing that the fireworks are pretty, but pale in comparison to her. He laughs at himself for saying

those kinds of things, but says that he wouldnt be able to not say them.

The fireworks end and he walks her back to her home only for the two of them to see that Rika is still around. Ikki offers to

walk Rika back since her house is in the same direction his is in, but when Rika says that she doesnt want to trouble Lin and

Lin agrees that she doesnt want him to, Ikki apologizes but says that Rika is his friend and so he cant let her walk home alone

at this hour.

At home, Orion appears and tells Lin that he didnt want to get in the way and so was waiting at home. They get a phone call

from Rika who tells Lin not to consider Ikki as hers and that if she forgets then this prompts Lin to remember a similar

speech in her past. Orion suggests that they go to sleep after they mark Rikas phone number so they can avoid her next time.



14/46

811 . The game opens up with a scene involving Orion and Lin meeting Ukyo in the cafe. He greets them withPleasureto meet you and the addsOr should I say that its been a long time?. Orion is completely confused as to who this guy is

and Ukyo continues on talking about how they met in another place and that he wanted to see and talk to her. He asks her who

she is currently going out with and lists four names starting from Shin, to Ikki, to Toma, and to Kent.

Orion is alarmed but allows Lin to answer Ukyo. When Ukyo finds out who she is going out with he frowns and tells her to

becareful of her surroundings and then says that thats all he came here to say to her, although it was nice to see her again. Heleaves after his mysterious words and Ikki comes by asking her if that customer said anything weird to her. She tells him that he

warned her about people and Ikki gets a frown on his face before he goes to talk to Ukyo himself.

Orion is pleased with Ikkis protectiveness when he thinks his girlfriend is in danger. Ikki comes back and tells Lin that he

talked to Ukyo and found out that the man just seemed concerned about her. Ikki tells her that she should be more careful

walking alone at night now and that she should call him whenever she wants. He also adds(At the very least, you shouldnt depend onthat guy. Even though he gave you that warning, I m the one who is your boyfriend).

After work, Lin waits for Ikki at the usual place. He comes and(Sorry formaking you wait. Here, lets hold hands and go home). He frowns slightly and chides her with(What are you shifting away for? We wont make it home at this rate if youdont hold my hand) and then encourages her with(By nowtheres no reason to be embarrassed. Give me your hand). He tells her that if anything happens tomorrow then she can call

him.

Turns out that even though they both have the day off tomorrow they wont be together. Instead Sawa phones to remind Lin of

the plans they made before she lost her memories. The two of them are going to buy things in preparation for the trip to the

mountains like a swimsuit.

812 . Lin meets up with Sawa and they head off to buy things for the trip as well as just hang out. Sawa explains thatthere are only 3 people coming from their school, but maybe 15 from Ikkis school and his fan club will probably be there. This

leads Sawa to ask Lin for the real reason she decided to date Ikki, because apparently the her from before hated Ikki but then

joined his fan club one day and then started dating him.

Sawa wants to know if she really fell for Ikki or stared into his eyes or if there is another reason, because she was never told.

Lin answers vaguely and Sawa reveals that there is only one month left, because 3 months has always been the longest time or

the set time that Ikki dates someone. This triggers a cascade of memories in Lins head and she remembers that Ikki himself

asked her to go out with him for 3 months just to see what would happen even though the Lin at that time had no attraction to

him. On his part, he just said that he had interest in her.



15/46

Lin collapses from the return of her memories about Ikki which freaks Sawa out and she calls for someone to help her while

trying to wake her friend up.

813 . She wakes up in her room with some stranger tending to her. He tells her to take it easy and that she has a fever andthen leaves to go get her some water. Orion appears and explains to her that she collapsed from the shock of having some of her

memories return and Sawa called someone on her phone to help take care of Lin who managed to mutter that she didnt want to

go to the hospital.

Orion urges her to rest, but she cant help but think about the memories that are returning about Ikki. She remembers that the

first time she saw Ikki, she had the same reaction as everyone else. He was helping her make a parfait and apologized for not

wearing his sunglasses and then told her not to look into his eyes. Lin tells him that shes not affected, but he smirks and says

that she keeps zoning out whenever she looks into his eyes and he tells her to try and tell him not to be so conceited while

looking into his eyes, which she couldnt do.

There was also a time when she was heading home and saw Ikki talking to a girl and he asked her if she wanted to go out with

him, to which the girl eagerly answered that she did. He sighs really loudly as if exasperated, but doesnt take her phone numberand instead tells her to input his number into hers. Then he tells her that hell go out with her for 3 months. The girl leaves

ecstatic talking about this is like a dream to her. Ikki turns to Lin after that and asks what she is looking at him for and if she

wants to date him too. He tells her that hell date her after hes done with this girl.

814 . The next time Lin wakes she hears someone ringing the doorbell and the stranger who was taking care of her invitesthe person in while thanking them for going out of the way to come and see her. Some scuffle appears to happen outside though

and Ikkis voice is heard dangerously asking who the person is and what hes doing in his girlfriends house. Orion realizes that

the whole situation looks bad with a strange young man in her house and tries to get Lin to get up.

Ikki and Kent come into her room and tell her not to bother getting up. Oddly enough hes wearing a mask over his face which

Kent tells him to take off before he scares her. It turns out that Ikki came by to check on her and needed to wear the mask so

that he wouldnt be mobbed by his fangirls. Then he asks for an explanation as to who the man is.

The stranger introduces himself as Toma and explains that he is her brother but not by blood. It turns out that his mother

married Lins father and so theyre step-siblings. Ikki doesnt understand Tomas explanation and Kent steps in to explain

everything out in a better way. Ikki manages to use this conclusion to get his way and he first starts off by saying that after

theyre done talking Toma can go home, because even though he thinks of her as a sister theyre not actually blood-related and

so can be considered to be strangers.



16/46

He then goes on to say(Honestly, anotherman sleeping over in my girlfriends house doesnt give me pleasant feelings)and then adds(Hm Basically, you can just think of this as jealousy). So then heargues that her depending on someone other than him, especially when that person can be considered a stranger on the same

level as him, makes him extremely jealous and so hell take over from here. IKKIS SPEECH STYLE AND TONE OF VOICE IS

SO ODD. ITS LIKE HES SAYING THESE LINES LIKE A J EALOUS BOYFRIEND WOULD, BUT THERES NO FEELING

INVOLVED IN THEM.

Kent and Toma are completely silent and so the decision seems to be up to Lin who allows it. Ikki smiles at that and thenapologizes for his rude words to Toma, but Toma awkwardly says that he can understand his feelings. So the two of them leave

with Orion begging them not to, but its too late. In the following silence Orion hesitantly asks(Being together alone with this guy Will you really bealright? In your heart, have you prepared yourself?).GOD ORION LOLOLOL STOP CRACKING ME UP IN MOMENTS

LIKE THESE.

Orion tries to reassure himself and Lin by saying(Maa, in this kind of state he wouldnt be able to do anything outrageous) in a peppy voice. Of course the moment he says

that Ikki comes closer to her and whispers to her in a low voice(Well then how shall I tease you first..). Orion freaks out, but Ikki then laughs and says that he was just joking.

Ikki leans over to check on Lins fever and then while staring at her softly says that he was worried about her. He talks about

how worried he became when she didnt respond to her phone or any of his messages and that he was really impatient at work,

enough to cause Waka to become angry, because he wanted to see her. He tells her(Ah.. that time when I saw Toma I became really impatient. Thatwas really embarrassing for me), but then he asks her (But Toma is nothing, right? I dont have to worry about him, right?).He sighs quietly and then says(I almostcant believe it. I ve never seen myself act like this before). His voice falls really low as he confesses(When youre around I become strange),(But I also becomehappy),(L istening to your voice and hearing your breaths calms me down),(Being by yourside makes me content).

Finally he says( Thats why in order to see you, I didthese stupid things). He sighs and then adds self-deprecatingly( I m not very cool, am I). Linasks if he likes her and hes silent for a while before replying( I like you.



17/46

Havent I said it already?). Then he asks if she doesnt believe him even though hes treating her so preciously and then he

wonders out loud if shes been wanting to hear it.

He tells her that if she doubts him hell say it again and then mentions out loud that even though hes going to say it, it doesnt

make it any less embarrassing for him to just say it out loud like this. He takes a minute to compose himself and then huskily

whispers(Lin I like you. I think that thesefeelings are love)along with(When Im surrounded by other girls, I can only think of you. I can think of nothing but touching you). Hefalls silent before exhaling and saying(Alright, confession time is over).Ikki steps away from her then and asks if he can sleep over, because hes worried about her fever going up during the night. Lin

gives him permission to do so and he promises that he wont do anything. Then he changes the topic to asking about what she

wants for dinner.

815 . Lin wakes up to Ikki calling her name. When she finally gets up he jokes about how regrettable it is that he cant kissher awake. Turns out he has to head in to work and wants her to lock the door behind him and he tells her to phone him if

anything happens, rather than Toma. Unfortunately he cant return to her house after work because he has some business.

After he leaves, Orion appears and tells Lin that Ikki was actually respectable during the whole night and barely slept while he

was watching over her. He asks her if she wants to tell him her memories, because he couldnt see her personal ones about Ikki

when her memories returned. He can only see normal memories. So she tells him about all the memories that returned.

Orion tries to understand Ikki some more and realizes that he treats Lin differently than the other girls like the one that he

decided to date in her memories. He asks Lin what she thinks Ikki thinks about her and she tells him that she thinks Ikki is

developing feelings of love for her. Orion agrees and then talks about how theyve learned more but they also have more

questions now.

Then he talks about how if she noticed him being gone for a while after the shock of her memories returning. Apparently the

more her memories return the farther he will disappear until finally he will be gone from her side. He cant always remain with

her, because he has his own duties to return to but he wants to help her find most of her memories or a person to depend upon

before he leaves. Hes afraid of leaving her alone with no one to support her if she still has missing memories.ORION(

)I DONT WANT HIM TO LEAVE MEEE~HES MY COMEDIC RELIEF AND MY SUPPORTER!

816 . Lin returns back to work and has to go through a training session with Waka who believes that her skills have becomerusty after missing three work days. She has to do things like smile a 100 times and yell outCustomers are the enemy! a

few hundred times as well, while Waka yells at her to be louder and more fierce and to smile harder.



18/46

While walking home with Ikki he talks about how he could hear her in the kitchen and how he couldnt stop laughing and so

made Shin mad. Then he confesses that its strange to him, but hearing her voice calms him down and makes him happy. He

talks about the trip that is coming up in 3 days and then asks her apologizingly to have to prepare herself to bear the burden of

his fans since theyll probably be there. He tells her to just stay around Sawa and Mine though.

At home Orion mentions that hes a spirit and so he doesnt experience feelings of exhaustion, but just thinking about having to

deal with Ikkis fan club is tiring. The phone suddenly rings and its Ikki which is unusual. He tells her that hes currently on his

way home and has actually entered and is taking his shoes off. He asks about her health and if shes going to go to sleep yet and

that if she hasnt then she should to keep up her strength.

He orders her to change and climb into her bed, but doesnt want to end their phone call at all. Orion wonders if Ikki wants to

talk to her while shes lying in her bed and if hes worried about her. Orion is a bit embarrassed but leaves the answer up to Lin.

She asks Ikki to wait and he tells her to take her time. When shes done and calls out to him he sounds a little distracted.

Ikki ends up saying(I guess I lost. Honestly, I only called to make sure you were properly going to sleep but) and then (The sounds of youmoving could be heard through the phone and I started having ideas of what you could possibly be doing. I sound like a

pervert, dont I?). His voice raises into a slight laugh at the end.

Orion starts blushing and yells in the background(Heyyy! What are you fantasizing about!? Stop it! Pervert!). It turns out Ikki was just talking about how it felt like Lin was

right beside him in the house when he talks to her through the phone. He adds that itd be better if it werent just a fantasy

though. Silence reigns for a few minutes before Ikki confesses that he wants to continue to talk to her, but then adds that his

request is probably troublesome.

In the end he cuts the phone call himself after telling her that he reached a catch on his boots and so he wishes her a good night

before hanging up. Orion is confused at the sudden end of their phone call, especially when Ikki mentioned talking some more.

He wonders if Ikki is troubled by something or if anything happened.

817 . After work ends Ikki apologizes for saying strange things yesterday and tells Lin not to worry about it. He alsoinforms her that he wont be able to phone her tonight or walk her home because he has some business. She asks him if

anything happened, but he doesnt say anything except that it isnt to serious and thanks her for worrying about him.

At home, Orion wonders if anything happened to Ikki because hes been acting weird these two days. The phone suddenly rings

and its Ikki who sounds extremely exhausted as he says(Ah, are you still awake? Sorry for phoning at this time. I want to hear your voice. At any rate, I justwanted to hear your voice). Orion hesitantly asks if Ikki is drunk. Ikki continues on with(Umm, can you just talk? Anything will be fine. Astory would be good. Can you talk for 30 minutes?). OH WOW PROFESSIONAL VOICE ACTING RIGHT HERE. YOU CAN

REALLY HEAR THE EXHAUSTION AND DESPERATION IN HIS VOICE.

His voices sounds even more strained and tired as he says(If I dont hear your voice I might die, honestly. Thats why I need you to replenish myoxygen. Anything will be fine..). He adds in a drunken sounding voice(I really want to meet you~. Right now though, I have noconfidence in making a sudden visit. Thats why please talk. About anything really).

Orion wonders what they should talk about and Lin ends up asking if Ikki wants her to come over to his house. Orion is a little

worried, but understands her feelings since hes been acting so weird. Ikki is silent at hearing that before saying



19/46

( Eh, youll come.. to my house? I ts dangerous youknow? I m more dangerous than the night streets you know?). HAHA, STILL A PLAYBOY EVEN WHEN DRUNK. Lin still

insists though and so Ikki tells her that hell come to get her.

In his room he notes that the night walk managed to sober him up a bit and then apologizes for making her walk in that cold.

While sitting there in silence, he suddenly says to her(..Ne, can you sleep overtonight?) and then tells her(If youre not here, my breathmight stop tonight and Ill die). He pushes her onto the bed and cradles her while whispering(Iabsolutely wont do anything).

Lin remains silent and Ikki adds (Hmm.. if you still doubt me Ill let you tie my hands. Even my feet) and then desperately says(I dont care if I cant move. I dont care if I cant touch you. J ust pleasestay here). He quietly whispers(So please dont let go. I tll be painful.I might die)and asks her to remain by his side some more.THIS IS SO OMFGADORABLE BECAUSE OF THE GENUINE

SINCERITY YOU CAN HEAR IN HIS VOICE AND WORDS.

She asks him if anything happened and he tries to say that nothing happened, but realizes how obvious of a lie it is. He ends uptelling her about how a girl confessed to him and he refused her with a laugh and that even though she was crying as if shed die

he couldnt think about anything but seeing Lin. He rhetorically asks her if hes a bad person for that and then explains his

philosophy.

He knows that he cant run away from the burden of having these eyes that can charm any women and so he decided that hed

amuse himself with them. For three months hed date a girl and treat her like a princess and make sure that she has fun, but after

the three months hes break up with her. He asks her what is so wrong about that when both parties are happy and understand

the conditions. But then he adds that there are some girls who just dont understand when theyre rejected and continue to try

and be together with him and he talks about how their feelings are a heavy weight.

Ikkis voice becomes strained as he says(Even now its heavy. Its heavyheavy heavy) and then he adds(It hurts to breathe I dontunderstand why). Lin asks if he becomes happy when hes with her and he answers affirmatively that he becomes extremely

happy. He says that hearing her voice makes him feel lighter and relaxes him. Then he wonders why his eyes have these affects

and says that no one has been able to explain it.

He apologizes for talking about these heavy serious topics, but that he was happy she lsitened to him, and then tells her to talk

to him instead. He confesses that hearing her voice makes him feel relaxed enough to sleep. GOD THE DESPERATION AND



20/46

VULNERABILITY IN IKKIS VOICE THROUGH THIS WHOLE SCENE HAS JUST CONVINCED ME OVER TO THE DARK

SIDE WITH PLAYBOYS. SCREW IT. IM AN UNREPENTANT IKKI FANGIRL NOW(* *).

818 . Lin wakes up to Orion and Ikki greeting her in the morning. Right away, he kind of laughs embarrassingly andapologizes for being a trouble yesterday for her because he drank too much. He continues on by saying that they still have time

before going to work and recalls that she enjoys bread in the morning and so hell prepare some for her.

He falls silent for a second before smiling genuinely and saying with a cheer to his voice(Ahh.. Its not good, Im too happy. I cant stop smiling. Im so uncool). But then he adds(But in the end, Imreally happy. It would be wonderful if this happened everyday. Really.. I m having fun). SUPERCONTENT!IKKI IS JUST

ADORABLENESS X1000.

At work Ukyo appears again and talks to Lin about how she was away from work resting for a few days and if she is alright. He

also warns her to be careful during the trip that will happen tomorrow, because there are people out to get her and they might

even go as far as harming her. This causes Lin to remember Rikas words from her memories about not considering Ikki to be

hers or else she might die.

Lin sways on the spot from the return of her memories and Ikki appears beside her with worry. Ukyo is also worried and

apologizes for causing her distress and then says that he probably wont show himself to her anymore and wishes her to stay

healthy before leaving. After work, Orion tries to talk to Lin but she cant hear him until a set amount of time passes by because

the more memories return the farther he gets away from her.

Ikki informs Lin about Rika being the coordinator for their trip and that she should depend on him as her boyfriend. This makes

Orion wonder quietly if he can leave Lin in Ikkis care if he should disappear since he feels like he can depend on Ikki now.

819 . The eighteen people going on the trip meet up at their appointed meeting spot and Rika talks about the trip. There Linmeets up with Sawa and Mine and the two girls introduce themselves to each other and become friends instantly because

theyre both thinking about the guys they can meet on this trip. Hilariously enough, there is only one guy apart from Ikki on the

trip and the rest are girls. Fifteen people are from Ikkis school and only three are from Lin and Sawas school.

They reach the mountain and cabins where they are going to be staying and the owner introduces himself and explains the

recreational activities that they have here along with things like hot springs. Sawa and Mine instantly pay attention to the owner

and scheme about ways to meet him since hes the only male apart from Ikki and the other mysterious guy who isnt here yet.

Sawa and Lin get paired together for their rooms.



21/46

The next scene shows Ikki playing pool with someone else and girls squealing around him about how cool he looks. One girl

even asks for him to teach her how to play later on, which makes another girl sneer and tell the first one that Ikkis girlfriend is

watching too. The first girl waves that off and asks if Ikki would feel reluctant to teach her, because his girlfriend is watching

but Ikki asks why he should worry about what his girlfriend thinks if hes teaching her. IKKI.. ILL FORGIVE YOU THIS TIME

BUT YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO LEARN TO TELL THEM TO SCREW OFF ( --). IM STILL NOT SURE WHY HE HAS TO

GENTLY TREAT THESE GIRLS UNLESS HE STILL FEELS AS IF HES GOING TO BREAK UP WITH THE HEROINE

AFTER 3 MONTHS IS OVER.

Orion notes that Ikki is moving his mouth though and glancing at Lin as if hes trying to say something. He spells out (Watch) and then exasperatedly yells about the nerve of Ikki to ask for her to watch him while hes surrounded by girlslike this. Funnily, he even rants about(Do you thinkyourself cool!? Damnit! Because you do look cool!). HAHAH, OH GOD ORION, STOP MAKING ME LAUGH MYSELF TO

TEARS.

Night falls and Sawa and Lin are both in their room trying to decide what to do while Sawa complains about how this trip didnt

turn out like how she expected it too. Instead of being a fun trip with everyone meeting each other it turned out more to be a

Ikki-watching expedition. Mine knocks on the door and enters to tell them about a card tournament downstairs and asks if theywant to go. She tells Sawa that the owner is there and so Sawa definitely is going to go.

Lin decides to stay behind though and Orion asks about what they should do. Someone knocks on the door though and then

enters without waiting for a reply. It turns out to be Ikki who explains that he thought she had gone down and apologizes for

opening the door without waiting for an answer, but then says that he had no ill intentions. Although, he does smirk and say that

it would have been interesting if he walked in while she was changing.

Orion growls and tells him not to wish for those kinds of situations. Ikki reveals that he came to her room to hide from his fan

girls though and asks if she will allow him, but that if shes afraid of remaining in the same room alone with him he can find

another one. Of course Lin allows him and so then he asks for permission to sit on her bed. In the quiet of her room he starts

confessing about how he might seem like a popular person but that he isnt and that hes a person who gets in other peoples

ways.

Lin asks if hes lonely that he cant particpate in things and Ikki is surprised that she managed to see through him like that. His

face softens and he admits that (Normal I just want to play with everyone normally. I want to have normal conversations. Even arguments wouldbe preferred). He talks about how its a miracle that Kent and Lin can talk to him without feeling like they need to please him.

He tells her that she cant imagine the kind of world he lives in.



22/46

After a period of silence he tells her(All thetimes I can talk to you, I m extremely grateful for them). Then he asks her softly if he can stay here some more and he wants

to hear her talk about anything, so long as he can hear her voice.

820 . The next day starts with Lin, Sawa, and Mine standing around the lounge talking about how Ikki is always surroundedby his fangirls and how Lin can bear it. Sawa still doesnt understand how they started dating which surprises Mine, because she

doesnt know either and so they both ask Lin if she fell to the power of his eyes because she acted like she hated him in the

beginning.

Orion is confused too, because he doesnt know if the pre-amnesic Lin was immune to the powers or not. If she hated him thenit seemed like she was immune, but the parfait-making memory proved that she wasnt immune to his charms. He thinks that

her current immunity might come from him being a part of her heart and protecting her from outside influences. Lin tells the

two girls that she was affected only in the beginning. Mine eagerly asks about the secret to becoming resistant to the eye powers

so that she can get closer to Ikki.

Suddenly, behind them Ikki says that he wants to know too. Its the first time hes heard about this, but he does recall that Lin

seemed to be affected by him at the beginning. He wants to know how she became resistant and all three of them start eyeing

Lin. Orion is grasping at answers because he doesnt know how either, but thankfully they are prevented from answering by the

owner coming in and asking if they want any drinks.

Night falls and Rika takes them all outside to tell them about a ghost story of this woman who killed herself in the forest. Its a

test of courage and they have to go through the forest with random partners. Lin gets paired up with random Ikki fan girl

number 1 who hates her already. YEAH WELL I AINT TOO HAPPY WITH YOU EITHER, BITCH ( --).

Ikki is looking at Lin covertly though and so she heads over to talk to him before she goes into the forest and he expresses his

regret at not being paired together. He also asks if she wants to ditch her partner in the forest so that they can be together, but

Lin decides not to. So off into the forest she goes with the fan girl who cant stop bitching about being paired with Lin. Orion is

scared to pieces by her side and says that even though hes a spirit hes deadly afraid of monsters.

As they walk Orion talks about how they should make sure theyre on the path only to slowly realize that the path theyre on

doesnt look like the path they WERE on. He freaks out wondering if a spirit made them get lost and then searches for Lins

partner only to realize that her partner disappeared too. He laughs nervously and asks if she wants to return.. like right

now.THE CREEPY BGM AND ORIONS FEAR IS MAKING ME SCARED TOO ( ).

All of a sudden a voice says (Found you~). Lin flinches but quickly realizes that its Ikki who laughs andsays(Haha! What is with that miserable face?Could it be that you were scared?). He notes that it seems that her parnter slipped away and then he tells Lin that his partner



23/46

seems to be missing too. He tries to reassure her by saying that its okay now before chuckling( Please dont look at me with those clinging eyes. Youllmake me want to hug you).YESPLZHUGMEIKKI I WAS SO SCARED (^ ).

He tells Lin(Here, hold onto my arm. Nothing scary will happen anymore, but if something does happen Ill protect you). While

theyre walking side-by-side he suddenly exhales and theres some strain in his voice when he says( This is bad. I really want to embrace you). DONT RESTRAIN YOURSELF ON MYACCOUNT! YOU HAVE TO STOP ASSUMING YOURE UNWELCOME IKKI. The strain becomes really apparent when hesays(Ahh I cant, I cant. I dont want to do anything tomake you hate me).

Ikki closes his eyes and tries to regain control of himself. Finally he mutters under his breath(.. Un. I wont do anything. I wont do anything scary. Un.). OMGHAHAH IKKISPEPTALK IS MAKING ME JUST WANT TO GLOMP HIM. He ends up asking if she wants to skip the rest of the test of

courage and to just go see the stars together. He points out that she probably doesnt want to continue on in the dark forest

anyway. But then he tells her that now that theyre alone he has something he wants to ask.

He asks her if what she said at lunch to Mine and Sawa was true and that his eyes had an affect on her. He says that it was the

first time he heard her say that and he asks her why she never spoke of it before and then adds(I dont really think so but You dontbelieve in those rumours about He breaks up with women who fall in love with him right?). Lin replies that she doesnt

believe them now and he thanks her for that. OH PHEW SO IKKI ISNT THE TYPE OF PLAYBOY THAT I HATE WITH A

BURNING PASSION. I WAS A BIT AFRAID HE WAS THE USE-THEM-AND-DUMP-THEM-TYPE ESPECIALLY AFTER

THEY CONFESS.

Finally the two of them reach the place where they can view the stars and Ikki comments on how beautiful they are. He

suddenly starts talking about a time when he was small and wished upon a star to be popular with girls. He laughs at himself

and tells her that he was an odd child and that his wish was definitely different from others. But then he adds that the personality

of the girls around him started changing. He sighs and mutters( But, Im nolonger happy).Ikki explains that(Ihave a lot of women who love me, but they cant substitute for friends). He also tells her( This power, I dont want it. I f I could go back to that time Iwould make another wish),(In order to fix it, I wouldwant to go back to that time and make another wish),(This time I wouldnt wish for that power. I would wish instead for the woman I liked to loveme). I.. I.. I L-LOVE THESE KINDS OF STORIES( ).



24/46

Suddenly the two of them see a shooting star and Ikki turns and kisses Lin. He leans back a little and whispers against her

lips(I wish for your love),( I wish that you wont get angry for my selfish kiss),(I f it could be done, I wish to be able to kiss you one more time). He falls silent and then asks her( This is my wish for you to grant) and then( Or will younot let me?). Lin doesnt say anything and so he leans in to kiss her again and breathes out(I love you).

821 . Mine runs into the room that Lin and Sawa are sharing and divulges everything that she managed to uncover. It turnsout that the whole test of courage was a ploy devised by the fan club members. Sawa and Mine would be paired up so that they

would be out of the way, Ikki would be paired with fan girl who would fake sickness and so would need to be escorted back,

and then Lin would be paired with a member that would ditch her as soon as possible.

In the end, Lin would be left all alone in the forest while everyone else returned to the cabin. Fortunately Ikki realized that Lin

was missing and went into the forest to search for her. Orions reaction at finding this out was to say( Ikkiiiii~ Thank you so much, you reallysaved us. Later Ill definitely thank you). Sawa is disturbed by these revelations and warns Lin to be really careful around

these fan girls.

Today is the end of the trip and Orion notices that Ikki is glancing in her direction. He wonders if they should thank him now,

but then realizes that itd probably be dangerous in front of all these fan girls. The two of them note to themselves to do it at

some other time and they get home safely. Orion is completely relieved to be back home after that trip from hell.

Orion does mention that its thank to the trip that they got closer to Ikki though. He muses on the information of Ikki having

wished upon a shooting star as a child for his eye powers and confirms that its something a god could grant. Lin asks about

them and Orion explains that in different dimensions there are different gods ruling over them and that it isnt far-fetched to

think that a strong one could grant a humans wish.

He also explains that he himself isnt a god, but an existence that a god granted. He wonders about if someone called Neru-sama

is missing his presence and wondering where he is. Orion once again tells Lin that he has his own duties to return to after hehelps her regain most of his memories and so he wants to find someone he can trust to take care of her. He thinks that Ikki

might be the one that they can depend on.

Just as he thinks this though, Lin gets an email from Ikki apologizing about needing some time to think alone. This makes Orion

annoyed and he takes back everything he said about Ikki being dependable, since they didnt even get any explanation about

what he needed to think about it. Lin asks Ikki if he can tell her a reason, but he apologizes again and says that hell see her

tomorrow at their job.

822 . At work Lin, Mine, and Ikki have to go through some minor training again like repeating 10 times that the customersare enemies. Waka starts off at first sounding pleasant and kind as he asks them about their trip, but then starts yelling at them

to practice their greetings and smiles again because they would have no doubt gotten rusty on their trip.

After work Ikki congratulates them on their hard work, but then tells Lin not to wait for him today which surprises Orion.

Instead, Ikki asks if he can talk to Mine alone for a bit which surprises her too. She then smirks in Lins direction and wonders

out loud if the two of them got into a fight. This makes Orion wonder whose side she is truly on and he realizes that shes on her

own side, but just that she hates the fan club.

Back at home, Lin gets an email from Ikki to which Orion asks with annoyance whether they should even read the mail. It turns

out Ikki wants to talk to Lin after work at her house and Orion starts imagining all the possible reasons and situations that would

make him say that. The two of them end their day with eating delicious food and preparing for tomorrows work.

823 . Mine greets Lin coldly at work while Ikki greets her nicely and this freaks out Orion who wonders what exactlyhappened yesterday. After work Ikki tells Lin that she doesnt have to wait for him and that he made a promise with some other

girls to play with them. Outside of the cafe, Orion and Lin overhear that Ikki made a promise with Rika and the other fan club

members that hed go to a karaoke with them.

Orion is pissed at the weird attitude from Ikki, but then wonders if maybe Ikki is angry at Lin for some reason. He also asks her

if she isnt jealous with how Ikki is acting and that if she is then she should talk to Ikki to get explanations and to explain herself

too, since nothing will get solved if both parties dont talk. Orion decides that they should wait in front of Ikkis house for him

to get back and so they do.

Its really late at night by the time Ikki gets back and hes really surprised to see Lin standing there and hurries her into his

house while asking what the heck she was standing there for and if anyone saw her. Orion is a little annoyed at this andwondering why Ikki doesnt want Lin to be seen by anyone else. While theyre in his room, Ikki goes to make coffee for them

and then asks them why she was standing outside of his house and if she didnt think that it was dangerous.

He asks her in a rising voice of anger(I f I had come home with those girls what would you have done? Do you WANT to beglared at like that time at the trip!?) and then he talks about how he said from the beginning that they might do dangerous

things and treat her coldly. He asks her shakily if(Do you not believe in mywords?) and(Do you also doubt me? Do youthink that Im having fun with these girls?).

Lin asks for an explanation and he says that he thought he had explained everything when they started to date. He asks her( Or is it that you think Im livingin luxury? Are my words not sufficient?) in a pained voice and then he asks if she has been questioning all of his actions up

to now. He explains to her that during their trip someone showed him their phone which had captured all the cold looks and

treatment directed to Lin.

Ikki found out about the plot that was devised against her and so started investigating himself. The reason why he had to talk to

Mine alone the other day was to find out if she had any part in it, but he realized that she was as worried about Lin as he was

and so he stopped suspecting her. He only went out with his fan club members today to curry their favour. Then he asks coldly

if she has anything else she wants to know. HOLY CRAP I FEEL SO BAD. I STARTED THIS DAY GETTING ANNOYED AT

IKKI AND HOPING IT WASNT SOME SORT OF CLICHE DRAMA THING ONLY TO FIND THIS.

She asks him why hes so angry and his voice is clearly shocked and angry as he tells her( Why? Being doubted by the girl you love isnt a welcoming feeling!). Then he tellsher(Because my warnings werent sufficent enough, the girl I love was exposed to danger. I cant forgive myself for that!)

He talks about how she was standing in outside in the cold and a potentially dangerous situation waiting for him just because

she doubted his personality. GOD HIS VULNERABILITY AND HURT FROM ALL THE DOUBT AND SUSPICION THAT

WEVE BEEN CASTING ON HIM MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I DID SOMETHING HORRIBLE ().

He muses out loud in a low voice what she could possibly be doing all that for and tells her out right that hes bearing ten times

of whatever she thinks shes bearing. He asks her if she was waiting for him because she was jealous and then asks what she has

to be jealous of. He confesses(That makes me feel a bit happy but you havent even said that you liked me, so why are youjealous?) and then he snaps out(You cant say itplainly can you? Y ou havent even prepared an answer, have you?) in a strained voice. I-IM SO SORRY IKKI. FORGIVE

ME!? IF IT WERENT FOR THE GAME MECHANICS ID CONFESS INSTANTLY RIGHT HERE( )!

Ikki suddenly yells out( BUT IM DIFFERENT!)and then whispers painfully(Can you understand even a little? I love you. This



27/46

love is real). His voice wavers as he tells her(I f it could be done Id want to be together with you throughout the day, holding you, kissing you,holding you to the point of being tired of it!). GRAAWRR JUST CONFESS YOU STUPID HEROINE CONFESS CONFESS

CONFESS( )!!!!

But then he looks away and mutters(But what I ve said cant be done) and(Your feelings havent caught up to my feelingsat all). Then he says that(In addition, if myreal feelings were to be found out then no doubt youd encounter something bad). His voice is agonized as he says( I wonder how much longer I can bear this). OKAY THATS IT.IKKI WINS EVERYTHING AT LIFE. I DONT THINK ANY OF THE OTHER GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO MATCH UP TO

THIS.

He pulls himself together as he talks about his past some more and how when he started dating girls they never lasted past 3

months. It wasnt said, but it was probably that after 3 months the girl that he was dating started facing a lot of cold treatment

from other girls and so that was when he developed his 3 month rule. He would date a girl for 3 months and then after 3 months

were over and he parted from her it was unspoken that she wouldnt be targeted anymore by anyone.

His plan is to date Lin for 3 months and then separate from her in order to protect her from the constant bad treatment she is

getting from everyone else. Hell release her for her own happiness and safety. At this point, Ikki looks away from Lin and

whispers to himself(Hurry up and grow to like me) and then adds( I only have one more week).824 . Ikki tells Lin not to bother waiting for him after work and so Lin walks home with Orion only to find Kent waiting atthe usual place that Ikki turns up at. She tells Kent that Ikki wont appear today and Kent is surprised to see that she is walking

home, although he did hear rumours of how Ikki was starting to entertain the other girls. Kent offers to talk Lin home instead

and act as a bodyguard so that Ikki doesnt become worried and Orion realizes that Ikki might have sent Kent.

Along the way home, Kent discusses his interest in Ikki and how he was wasnt lying when he said he was interested in those

eye powers, but that it wasnt everything either. He also finds Ikkis character interesting not to mention this is the first time tha

hes seen Ikki truly serious and in love with a girl. He explains about how Ikki is trapped in a never-ending loop of despair by

going out with a girl that he might manage to get to like, but then having to part with her and then pick up another one.

When Lin asks what she can do to help Lin, Kent is surprised that shes asking him but tells her that if she can grow to love Ikki

in return then she might be able to save him from this cycle. However, if she cant end up liking Ikki then it cant be helped.

Kent smirks at this and says that itll be just as interesting to see Ikki cry for the first time. UWAH SCARY FRIEND.

825 . Lins father makes a visit to the shop and tries to talk her into going home with him to meet her step-mother that shehas only seen 3 times. The pre-amnesic Lin seems to have hated her mother and left the house to try and make a living on her

own by working at the cafe and trying to save up money to continue her education instead of being married off by her father.

Her father tells her that she wont be able to earn enough money to support herself in a house and go to school at the same time.

Ikki appears while the two are talking and introduces himself to her father for the first time. Her father appears shocked and

then angry that her boyfriend is just another university student as well and he explains the situation of his daughter being unable

to live by herself and so that he was trying to get her to come home. Ikki explains the solution they had come up with in sharing

an apartment together, but her father laughs cruelly at that and thinks that its a bad joke for his daughter to be living withanother man. He also doesnt think Ikki will be able to support them either.

Smoothly, Ikki explains that he already has his future planned out and he is in his 4th year of University. He has a job already

waiting for him in a company that his parents own or something. This shuts up Lins father and he finally just asks rudely for

coffee. Orion talks about how the day was just one big trouble and then Ikki appears noticing that Lins face looks ill.

He realizes that it must have been from meeting with her father and he tells her that he understands its a big decision for her

and that she probably doesnt want to be with a guy like him. However, if she is prepared to live with him then itd be best if

she gave him her answer as soon as possible so that he can protect her. This triggers a memory in her mind and she is launchedinto the past where she remembers telling Ikki that shell have to move out of her home soon and then she wont have anywhere

to go.
