Seduced in the Sleepless City...yes please! Let's Play!

*sigh* Insecure protagonist is being insecure, kinda ridiculous since there's really NO reason for her to. I mean, in a few games, the guy you want to seduce doesn't clearly like the MC, so I can understand why, but here he said that he was interested n her and he doesn't seem to be into Fuko all that much. So that's really drama for the sake of drama. :/

Yeah, Nosy-chan gets a little wishy-washy in the middle of these routes. I guess I would be nervous too if a guy as magical as Mirai hit on me!

Luckily this is one of the few voltage routes that doesn't drag the drama part out too badly ♪
My standards for Voltage are a little weird....

Mirai, stop raising my standards, I won't be able to play iPhone otome games anymore if you keep doing that. He's so precious. The fact Lysa CAN get to him as well sells this route to me. Just. FUCKING SOLD.

Well, her and Mirai aren't officially dating yet, so she's probably worried he's going to take an interest in Fuko since Fuko's a nice girl, pretty, sweet, who wouldn't like her? But I honestly think this is born more out of jealousy than insecurity. "Why can't he have fun with me, damn it? Fuko, have Noel, just let me have Mirai!" There's probably some insecurity in there as well, but honestly, I don't mind it too much (probably because a good friend of mine was similar with her boyfriend so I don't see it as a big deal).

Honestly, considering the fact this route deals with potential drama exceptionally well, I'm fine with t. It gives us a chance to see Mirai flustered when Nosy opens up to him and admits how she's feeling. That's a win in my books!

Wow, for once a love interest has just gone NOPE to the standard shoujo formula. Mirai's read better cons than you, Nosy!

So I read all 10 pages in one night (regretting nothing) and I can't believe how cute Mirai is! I hope to have sweet dreams of him tonight~

By that I mean us riding in a go-kart together, of course.

That's not the only thing you're going to be riding








/escorts herself out

I'm sorry, did we say you could leave?

I love you so much for saying that!

When Nosy returns home from her date, she notices that she has an email from Mirai.

Mirai: "Thanks for tagging along today! Next time let's make it just the two of us..♪
I never mentioned it, but your shoes today were really cute.☆
To my jealous princess, from Mirai."

I can't take this cuteness! /explodes/


Nosy is surprised that he noticed her shoes. They were actually her favorite pair that she had bought as a treat to herself when she got the job at Cinderella.

And just as this sweetness overload is about to fill the world with feels, Fuko walks in.











Nosy: "...Sorry."
Fuko: "...Nosy?"




It...it brings out my yandere feelings, Fuko. The ones I work so hard to suppress.
When I see you with him I just...
...I just want to...
...well...




How should Nosy respond?



WHY IS THERE NO "YES" OPTION?!

As long as "maybe" means yes, go for B please. Don't hide it any longer!

"Maybe" is as close as we can get to "yes" here, so... Maybe!

MAYBE WE LIKE HIM BECAUSE FUCK THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS.

I kind of get where she's coming from, though. .... Not kind of, a lot.

Infatuation is a shallow thing, and genuinely liking someone romantically is totally different. Look at it this way: She's considering the possibility she's just fond of him and is misreading her emotions.

I cannot tell you guys the number of times I thought I had a crush on someone and it turned out to just be strong, platonic affiliation and affection. (Or just sexual/physical attraction, in some cases.) If she's considering this, she won't want to ruin her relationship with Mirai because she fucked up by going "Totally into you!" only to find out once she got into the relationship that her feelings aren't on the same level as Mirai's.

I mean, this is totally not going to be the case because otome game, but this is a genuine possibility. Speaking from experience.

Yeah, that's really true, I can understand why she's feeling uncertain about the matter. I would probably feel uncertain too... especially if my friend liked him too.

Fuko: "Might...?"







Fuko: "...I guess so..."



Fuko: "Hey, Nosy..."
Nosy stops in place without looking at Fuko.







Nosy: "I'll be back."





I really love how great of friends they are!
Now Nosy doesn't have to kill her...

Ugh really? Ok fine let's go with B.

Edit: well look at who just came really late to the party. Also, yay for friendship <3

Awwww. Now I almost feel bad for thinking KILL THE HYPOTENUSE to myself. Fuko, you're not half-bad. Probably would be absolutely awesome if the plot didn't demand MOAR DRAMA.
... As it is, I'm still not convinced that her role as source of DRAMA is over. So y'know. I'll just be over here. Staring suspiciously.


We've got our eyes on you, Fuko.

Honestly, I'm more worried Mirai's going to go yandere on Nosy's ass by potentially threatening to kill Fuko to get rid of one of the problems between them.

But then I feel bad because Mirai's pretty mild in the potential yandere department compared to others I've seen.

Well, hey, that would still be drama! We can keep our eyes out for yandere-murder, too.

... Although we'd probably be much safer if we didn't.

Sorry for the late response:

<regarding not purchasing Voltage products>

I just think it's ridiculous to charge 4 dollars per character when the quality tends toward sketchy. Well, Voltage is better than the Shall We Date series, which charges 4 dollars for the 3 main routes and 7 for two additional characters AND THEY NEVER PUT THE TWO CHARACTERS THAT I WANT IN THE SAME GROUP but I dislike using my parents' credit card to buy these games. My mom wouldn't approve of my playing them and I am spending their money even if it is only 5-ish bucks.

Noel~~~do want.

I was expecting Mirai to be jealous but he reversed it. Well. He's very self-confident which makes the flustered bits adorable.

Yay, actual friendship~

/crying/ Wah I lost all the screen shots I'd taken for this LP

I'm going to replay this section and I'll have an update by tonight or tomorrow...

Have these "Christmas themed" squee worthy pictures while you wait!

I want that dog. Can we get the dog? Because I want that dog!

You take the dog, I'll steal the tiara.

It's Yuzuki's dog. His super cute dog. That appears in his CGs. I want it so much.

Edit: It's a poodle, BTW. There is a whole conversation during his route about how he breeds poodles because they are his favorites ❤

We need to go after this guy's dog. I don't have any ulterior motives, don't look at me like that.

Broken Forum: Where Zoophillia is Always the Best Option although the dog is pretty cute in a fluffy sort-of-way

A little, but it's okay. We love you anyway.



Nosy thinks back on all the yandere jealous thoughts she'd been having all day.
Which leads into her thinking about what she'd said to Fuko just minutes before.





She remembers how he had noticed her shoes. And how amazing he is. And how dreamy...











(The one who told her to ask Satsuki)



This fortune teller is creepily accurate...

I have a feeling I know who the fortune teller is...

If this is like Jane Eyre I will buy this game this instant.

Yeah, it took a little while but Nosy trusts Mirai now.







....sure.



The fortune teller actually asked for 4,000, but Nosy pulled a Mirai and talked down the price.





I'm sorry, but this isn't Tokimemo...that might not work.







Well, at least he/she is honest about it.

dammit

now I'll be disappointed if he doesn't pull a Rochester

curse you Kaimeanogo

Well, I was never good at guessing. I'm sorry?

You're forgiven~

(mostly)

Please tell me they are going to release Boss' route in English.

Nosy decides to follow the fortune stalker teller's advice, so she goes to a nearby park to find a cherry tree.

Nosy stands there for a few minutes before she starts to seriously doubt the situation.
Creepy park.
A girl all alone.
Cherry trees aren't even in bloom this time of year.
Help.


Of course it looks shady, this is the park where a wonderful girl named Lysa gets cheated on by her husband. There is bad juju here, RUN!



WHO'S THERE?!
Please don't kill me.



Oh good, it's just you Mirai.
Wait, how did you find Nosy?




Such a yandere...

Mirai walks over to Nosy, and holds his right hand out to her in a fist.

Mirai: "Watch my right hand, Nosy."
Uh...okay.




?!?!?!?!

Mirai: "Heheh, did I surprise you?"
YES!

Mirai drops the cherry blossoms into Nosy's hand.

Mirai: "They're artificial though, unfortunately."




I could show you the world...shining shimmering splendor....tell me princess, now when did you last let your heart decide ♪

Nosy: "That sounds lovely. I'd love to."

Awwwww he's so cuuuuuute!

(Teach Nosy how to do tricks like that! Then you can be super partners!)

O_O

Milk tea please!



I actually used to do this all the time on dates. It feels really nice to just sit on the swings and talk, especially at night.
I know this isn't a date between Nosy and Mirai, but a girl can dream right?







Yeah...
If by fun you mean super awkward, full of yandere thoughts, and ending with a huge fight between Nosy and Fuko.



W-what?! Nooooooo, of course she had fun!

Time for choices! ☆

B.

Why is this even a choice.

Mirai's route has a lot of choices like this...

A. Silly Protag-chan answer

B. silly protag, as if we would ever let you get away from Mirai :D
