Gonta, you said it isn't right for Iroha to talk badly about herself. However, you haven't met her Despair to Future Arcs variant. She's one of the worst variants of Iroha imaginable, as she's a "womanchild", meaning she never grew up mentally past her childhood because Divine Luck protected her actions from consequences. In comparison, Voidship Iroha is a lot nicer than her DTFA variant, and ASOOT is even nicer than Voidship Iroha, which is why ASOOT Iroha managed to land Makoto as a boyfriend.

Exactly, you don't know DTFA Iroha, she is THE worst!

She never takes ANY responsiblity for herself, she is mentally a 13 year old and never grew past that, she thinks she's entitled to anyone as a boyfriend, even they already have one, shoves Yaoi pictures into anyone's faces like she's Amagaya...

And the crowning jewel of why she's the worst...she alongside that version of Nikei, plans to trap Utsuro and treat him like some animal when he's brought back from the dead! ESPECIALLY as that was the same treatment SHE was subjected to.

Given how DTFA is gonna do some...stuff with canon events, I don't know what her fate there will be, but I hope she loses her Divine Luck and dies in a ditch.

T-that all sounds bad...but is it too harsh?

Hmmmm...nope, as I think its a completely acceptable reaction to DTFA Iroha.

Not to mention she's the one who's mainly to blame why everyone assumes I'm gonna be some bratty womanchild when it comes to romance.

It does seem to be a big problem around here, some abnormal variants can lead to larger blame for the majority of us.

We Killing Harmony characters are a bad example since due to the...nature of our game, our backstories and personalities can go wildly different. For example I am a maid, but I'm not the Shadow Prime Minister of Japan, but I know some Kirumis are. At most I worked in government but never actually held power.

Forest family real for Gonta!

But not for other Gontas...

Everyone is saying ASOOT Voids and Yuki are so nice...but they forgetting they are all pre-Tragedy, where everyone IS nicer and kinder since a apocalypse which has hardened the hearts of many hasn't occurred yet.

[review-anon]

You know what Iroha? I'd say you scored a pretty good date at the end of the day

So what do you think Fontana? Willing to give me a shot?

Yeah I think I can work with this, so consider me your Valentine's Date for today!

Wait really, you are accepting me?

I mean I'm not sure if its gonna last but for one day I'm sure it won't hurt.

Soooo do you want to hit the pools? That's the closest thing to a beach we have around here.

I mean don't get me wrong the Voidship is nice and all but all the sci-fi and indoorsy of this place can get rather...bland for date locations.

Hey if it works it works.

Just hope there's no incidents at the pool and for once I'm not talking about people peeing in it.

Yayyyy I did it which means I won the bet with Nikei!

He's gonna watch so much romance anime with me once the day is over~

Congratluations Nijiue, you managed to get a date.

And no violations will occur!

Everyone wins!

[review-anon]

Okay, enough with the full cast questions, let's see how Iroha's plan to get a date is going, i wonder if she'll run into bitchless Kizuna on the way

H-Hi Fontana....how are you today?

Well aside from the fact I don't have a date today...I'm doing reasonably well.

So you wish to go out with me?

Yep as today is the day couples get to spend the time spreading love and joy....

...Also I haven't been having the best of luck today in all fairness.

That one was partly Sannoji's fault but now he's gone you can pursuit romance.

Well funny thing is...this is the second Nijiue that I tried to ask out.

Second Nijiue-

Oh I see...you asked her out and as usual she turned you down didn't she?

Yes she did...how did you know.

That's just typical for Hitaru as men always ask her out but she ALWAYS turns them down because she thinks she's too good for them!

Well its her loss since if she turns you down I can give you the good time you want so badly.

Nijiue! Sibling might have good reason to!

I wouldn't know as I don't know the Nijiues that well.

Toxic family members eh? I know that feeling very well...my parents and siblings were all bad influences on each other.

It's why I got out when I could.

Guess its a good thing we found each other then.

[review-anon]

You can just lose the bet on purpose too

How do I lose on purpose?

Keep doing what you were doing? Or act like your DTFA self when going for dates.

I'm NOT shoving Yaoi pics in people's faces and talk about sex out loud!

No wonder that bitch is single, she deserves to be for how she goes about romance.

Nijiue talk about self like that is not right.

That's because you never had the "pleasure" of dealing with a evil variant.

Besides failing on purpose might mean I'll succeed.

That is true...that someone might date you out of pity if you try to self sabotage and thus win the bet.

[review-anon]

Well don’t worry, once we handle Mikado, you can go back to looking for a date! We juuust gotta figure out away to get rid of him without anyone getting in trouble with Review Anon!

I think...that is the best decision to make.

I do want to score a date today, its why I made the bet with Nikei after all.

But I'm not putting Nikei at risk so for now I'm gonna stop looking for a date and wait until Mikado is not in the picture and then I can resume my search.

And once we get the news, do you want us to help you with how to date someone?

Oh yes yes yes! That would be sooo helpful!

And all of this means I can get that date I want AND not have to worry about something horrible happening to Nikei!

After all I think he would vastly prefer not eating salty food for a month and watching romance anime with me, then Mikado having his way with him.

All sane people want that.

Gonta and Kirumi stay here, and if Sannoji shows up again...

Gonta shows Sannoji how bones are like trees; easy to break!

This I believe is the best of both worlds, you get the education needed to date someone Nijiue...and Gran-Yomiuri won't be violated.

Yeah...its just a matter of making sure Mikado is no longer around.

And doing it in a way that means Review Anon doesn't get angry...

[review-anon]

If yyou're worried about Mikado escaping Discord's box, not only I put a guardian close to Nikei in case Mikado escapes, but also Nikei has gotten an idea to get rid of Mikado without RA going feral against him after befriending a mutated version of Sonic the Hedgehog...

-✨🌌✨ Anon

Those all sound like good ideas.

...But I'm not sure if they're gonna work.

Nijiue is cynical.

Well of course I am! Do you know what Fangan I'm from?

Optimism is illegal there, any good or hopeful idea goes horribly wrong there.

That may be so, but you are not in your home universe, so things can change.

True...but Review Anon is also on the cynical side so things could go wrong.

Maybe things not go well...

But Gonta convinced Yomiuri won't have non consential mating done.

Line...too much for Review Anon to cross.

He's right, as sure maybe things might not go to plan and Sannoji does escape...but I don't think he will win.

Sexual assault is one of the vilest things to write ever and to not address it with the seriousness it deserves would be an insult to all those who were victims to it.

And while I don't know what a mutated Sonic has to do with getting rid of Sannoji...if Gran-Yomiuri thinks its good enough to get rid of him, then we should have faith in it.

That being said...if you want to give up having a Valentine's Date today...there is no stopping you and no shame in being single today.

Not everyone has a partner...but ultimately it has to be your decision, don't allow the fear of Sannoji twisting your bet or worried about what will happen to Gran-Yomiuri prevent you from making a decision.

You said it yourself, its highly unlikely cancelling the bet would stop Sannoji, as he's mere using it as an excuse.

....

[review-anon]

It appears that you are truly destined for loneliness Iroha.

*Sniff* *Sniff* W-why? W-why cannot I find anyone today?

A-also you are forgetting with ASOOT Yuki, he hasn't been told about the future proper so he hasn't gone full rejection mode. Plus it didn't and isn't going to happen.

Nijiue over there! She not happy/

Huh? *Iroha looks up and sees that Gonta and Kirumi are coming over to her*

Oh as if my day can't get any worse. Have you two come to mock for my failure of getting a date.

No, but we did come over to deliver important news regarding that.

That's right. Gonta was meant to come to help Nijiue with courting. As Nijiue needs skills.

Seriously? You were gonna help me with getting someone?

Thank Utsuro for that since I have been having Divine Misfortune with getting a date today. Everyone is turning me down.

At first I thought the blame could be on my other variants but what if they aren't the problem? Maybe its me who's not approaching people right, or doing the right steps in asking someone out.

....Gonta WAS gonna help. But Gonta found out truth and cannot do it.

Truth? What do you mean by that?

Nijiue...do you recall making a bet with Gran-Yomiuri regarding your ability to find someone today?

Yeah I did. Nikei claims I'm never gonna find someone and so I decided that if I get someone, he cannot eat salty food for a month and has to watch romance anime with me. But if I don't find someone I have to eat carrots and no ice cream for a month.

Also I don't know why you are so ashamed Nikei is your grandfather in ASOOT. You seem to ignore he is.

That is irrevelant to the discussion.

But regardless yes that was the terms of the bet. But I'm afraid a third party has come in and altered the conditions that should you find a date...terrible consequences would occur to Gran-Yomiuri.

Third party who do you-

It's Mikado isn't it? He did something with the bet, didn't he?

I KNEW something was up about the fact he was so supportive of me getting a date, I thought he was being nice for once. As normally he just insults me and calls me a failure!

That being so...truth is worse then you expect.

Okay tell me. Tell me what that stupid wizard did to me and Nikei's bet which was so bad you two, who were gonna help me win the bet originally, have decided to stop me getting someone.

...You do it Kirumi. Gonta...Gonta not like to speak about it.

Neither of us would, but I would be more tactiful.

Nijiue, had you won the bet you made with Gran-Yomiuri and found someone to be with today, then Sannoji would have forced Gran-Yomiuri on a date with him...whenever he likes it or not and is implied he would want to get...intimite with him.

....

Are you...are you serious? Mikado was gonna do...THAT to Nikei?

[review-anon]

Yeah, you two focus on finding Maeda, the one with the ahoge...

-✨🌌✨ Anon

Gonta sorry but he not know where Review Anon is.

A Funeral of Butterflies: That's alright...I can use my messengers to find the lost soul.

*Several butterflies come off A Funeral of Butterflies and fly off looking for Review Anon*

I would be more concerned about this, but we have a job to do and Review Anon can fend for herself.

I recall her saying that any attempts to drag her into the afterlife will fail as she's "barred from passing on" or language among those lines.

Gonta may not be able to help Review Anon...

But Gonta can help Kirumi's grandfather! And Gonta sees Maeda over there!

*Gonta points over to a bench where Yuki seems to be eating a bento box*

*He doesn't seem to be with anyone*

There is Maeda...now to come over to him and wait as Nijiue will turn up and we can inform her the unforunate news.

Right! Gonta wishes bug man good luck on quest, while we do own quest!

A Funeral of Butterflies: Thank you...nobody deserves to die alone and forgotten....

*The man with a butterfly face walks off, trying to find Review Anon*

What a good man!

I wouldn't call him "good" but Abnormalities are not something I'm used to...let's go and see Maeda.

Yep, time to see Maeda!

[review-anon]

I offer you a Funeral of dead butterflies, hence to say its now on the voidship, enjoy - A

Maeda where are you?

There are two Maedas here Gonta and you might get the wrong one over.

How does Gonta tell difference?

I believe the one that appeared in the Proto Killing Game is called Fake Maeda since that was a disguise Utsuro donned and the one that appeared in the Utsuroshima Killing Game to be called Real Maeda.

Neither sound good as both Maedas people. Plus we are fake too.

Yes I suppose that for us who's entire backstories are fake this might find those differences offensive...

So Gonta will still call for Maeda-

*Gonta stops talking when he sees a strange man in a suit who's head seems to be composed of butterflies and is carrying a coffin*

Ah fellow bug man! He might know where Maeda is!

Gonta stop! That man...I don't think that's a ordinary person, I think that's another Abnormality!

A-Abnormality?

It makes sense doesn't it, we are in a arc, the Anons are back, these creatures were gonna return as well.

But man has bug face. He must be gentleman.

Well...do you know if butterflies are related to death?

Butterflies feast on corpses, help with decay. They make corpses look peaceful.

S-so in other words this is probably a dangerous Abnormality we need to approach with cau-

*Gonta just walks up to A Funeral of Butterflies*

Hello fellow bug man! Name is Gonta Gokuhara! How are butterflies?

A Funeral of Butterflies: They are...fine...they are just looking for the lost soul here.

Lost soul? You mean us? Since spirits here?

A Funeral of Butterflies: No...none of you are dead, but there is someone here...who cannot move on...due to nobody mourning them...I will make sure someone remembers them.

*Kirumi manages to catch up to Gonta* You don't walk up to Abnormalities like that Gonta, something bad could happen!

Bug Man mentioned looking for lost souls and said it wasn't us.

Well that is true as while a lot of us are gonna die, when that happens we just don't come back here...but as for someone dead and stuck here...

Oh Kodaka...is this Abnormality after Review Anon?

R-Review Anon is target? Why?

Because she's a spirit and she's said mulitiple times she cannot move on for some reason! And now something has showed up to take her back "home"

I-Is that bad?

Not sure but just as a precaution, don't tell that Abnormality where Review Anon is.

B-But Gonta doesn't where she is!

I wasn't talking to you Gonta.

[review-anon]

I think the last we saw her, she was planning to ask out SDRA2!Yuki who's with Shinji but I think DRA!Tsurugi is going to ask him out too.

I did see Maeda in this sector as he was getting some lunch.

Must be in eating areas.

We must not waste any time. I think the chances of Maede accepting a date from Nijiue are low but we do need to act swiftly to avoid...

The worst thing possible happening to Gran-Yomiuri,

If Sannoji appears Gonta will sort him out!

Of course he would be as rotten as Kokichi was!

We must not waste any time Gonta, we need to get to where Maeda is as soon as we can.

Gonta saves Kirumi's grandfather.

H-He's not...can you not say that out loud Gonta?

Sorry...

*Gonta and Kirumi start to move towards where SDRA2 Yuki is*

[review-anon]

Yeah Gonta if curious, Nikei and Iroha had place a bet on if Iroha can get a date; which it was all simple and nice but then Mikado came along and decided to make it worse via he's gonna go on a 'date' with him or well, he's going to rape him...yeah, it's that bad...

W-what?

I knew that Sannoji has done something to the bet as knowing Nijiue and Gra-Yomiuri it would have been something harmless, like watching anime or eating/not eating certain foods....

Rape on the other hand is a completely different matter! I might have a complicated relationship with Yomiuri but nobody, absolutely nobody deserves rape.

Kodaka I am SO SO hoping Himiko isn't his granddaughter in ASOOT...

Non consental mating happens all the time in nature.

Doesn't justify us humans doing it. We meant to be better.

What should Gonta do?

I think its very likely that Nijiue isn't aware of this, because I feel with that variant if she knew what Sannoji was planning to do to Gra-Yomiuri then she would just drop the whole thing.

As such, I think we should find Nijiue and tell her the truth, about how Sannoji as he always does, manages to ruin everything he touches.

Tried to ruin Christmas...now ruining Valentine's Day...what other holidays does Sannoji not like?

Probably all of them.

[review-anon]

Hey Gonta Any luck finding Iroha or Kirumi?

G-Gonta...these flowers...

Gonta knows! Gonta grew special flowers for you!

Insect friends made sure they were the most pleasant smelling flowers on Voidship.

I see well...thank you very much Gonta, the flowers are lovely.

Once Gonta gives Nijiue lesson in courting, Gonta can spend time with you!

Did you just say Nijiue? I...really hope its one of the older siblings and not Iroha Nijue...

It is Iroha why? Is teaching her courting bad?

Normally no and honestly given how appalling her romance techinques are...it would be a good thing.

Its just...you haven't heard the rumours of why Nijiue is trying to find someone and why, above all else, she can never be allowed to date anyone today...

[review-anon]

Kirunta 👀?

//Well this IS a romance arc after all.

//And people seemed to like what was going on with Gonta and Kirumi in KCA so why not?

//At least for this arc.
