Eroge 2.

2005/11/17 22:25

I can see that my site has reached ten thousand hits.

It’s been half a month since I started it.

I really didn’t expect to hit this milestone so quickly.

This is thanks directly to all you visitors.

I feel like there’s no turning back at this point.

… I mean, not that I would ever dream of running away, you know?

Please trust in me and continue visiting for months and years to come.

The other day, my girlfriend, Y-ko the fujoshi, just so happened to buy an eroge under my name.

It is called Fate/hollow ataraxia.

I’m told that it is the sequel to the hit game Fate/stay night.

ME:	… So is this Fate game good?
Y-KO:	Hell yeah, it is!! It’s like a super-hit.
ME:	Huh. Well, what’s your opinion of it?
Y-KO:	Me? I don’t know. I haven’t played it yet.

“Of course, I haven’t played it—the game only arrived just now,” she says.

Yes, I understand that.

I just signed for it and brought it into the room this minute.

ME:	No, I’m talking about the first game, not this one.

If you’re buying the sequel, it must be because the first game was pretty darn good, right?

And she responded—

Y-KO:

I don’t know. I haven’t played it.

I see. You haven’t played it.

ME:	… Pardon?!

Wait a moment.

My girlfriend bought Fate/hollow ataraxia.

It’s the sequel, meaning the continuation of the first game.

But she claims that she hasn’t played the first.

… I have a very bad feeling about this.

I don’t want to know.

I can feel that there’s a terrible sucker punch waiting for me ahead.

But I have to make sure.

There are lots of things in this world that you simply can’t ignore.

And now is the time to face this fear!!

Come on, me!

ME:	So, um… You decided to buy the second one, despite the fact that you haven’t yet played the first?

And still with the politeness!!

I am such a coward!!

Y-KO:	Yep. Oh, but don’t worry.
ME:	… Huh?

…… Don’t worry?

… What does that mean?

Does it mean, “Don’t worry, I haven’t bought the first game”?

Or does it mean, “Don’t worry, I ordered the first game to go with it”?

… The former! “Don’t worry, I haven’t bought the first game” is my final answer!!

ME:	Does that mean you haven’t bought the first game?
Y-KO:	Yeah. Amazon said the first one was out of stock.
ME:	Ah. I see. Well, that’s too bad.

Yes!! Yes!!

I know I’ve got a smile on my face now!!

The smile of a man who just survived a battle!!

I’m as smiley as Yon-sama right now!!

Y-KO:	So I ordered it from Sofmap.com instead.
ME:	Ah, I see, you ordered it from Sofmap—

That’s grea… grea… uh…

ME:	Under whose name?
Y-KO:	Why, under y—[DING-DONG]—ah, there it is.
	C’mon, isn’t this your house? Don’t just stand there, answer the door.

“Here,” she said, handing me the intercom.

“Okay,” I said, accepting the intercom.

I slowly raised it to my ear…

ME:	… Hello, who is this?
VOICE:	Yamato Delivery Service. I have a package from Sofmap for you.

……… Yes, that’s right. I knew this was coming.

I just wanted to believe that it wasn’t the case.

Sigh………

… What is this that I’m feeling?
