"It's like a thread, tangling, linking us to something. Until slowly we are completely bound."

Part 1 Yashiro: (Work ended so I am walking a little faster towards the front of the station) (Ah, there he is!) (I can easily find from a distance the person I'm going to meet with)

Yashiro: My apologies. Thank you for waiting.

Kyoya: Not at all. You didn't make me wait. It's still earlier than our appointed time to meet. I have just arrived too

Yashiro: (Even though we're just exchanging pleasantries, I feel like the addition of that gentlemanly smile makes it more classy)

Kyoya: But as I expected...

Yashiro: As expected?

Kyoya: I thought Yashiro-san would be the type to come early so as not to keep the other party waiting, so I was on standby And as a result of that, the timing of us was perfect

Yashiro: (Ahh, I can't compete with this level of intelligence. No, it's more like what am I competing against?) (But as expected, I didn't want to keep him waiting today) (I wonder why in the first place am I meeting with Shido-san)

(Just the other day, it was the day when Kiho-san and Riku-san went to the cafe as customers) Yashiro: Great job today. Please enjoy your stay. Kiho: Thanks Riku: That's right. Oh, should I invite Ito too? Kiho: Ohh, that would be nice Yashiro: ? Riku: Kyoya's birthday is coming soon so the 3 of us are going to drink together as a celebration. So if you don't mind, how about you come along, Ito? Yashiro: Wouldn't I be bothering if I join a celebration by the Negotiation Dept? Riku: What are you talking about? It's better to have a different face than usual, it has a special feeling to it, doesn't it? Kiho: I wish we can deepen our friendship so it's okay to just be casual Yashiro: (So this is the day of the drinking party that I decided to participate in. In other words, today is Shido-san's birthday. But right now, it's only me and Shido-san here) Shido: Then, what should we do now? Yashiro: That's right.... Yashito: (From both messages I received, the other two's arrival will be delayed due to some urgent matters) Shido: It looks like there will be some time until everyone is here. Is it a little long for tea? However, once we go separate ways, then we have to get together again. Yashiro: It will make you feel in a hurry, right? Shido: Rather, it would be a waste. After all, it's the time I can spend with Yashiro-san Yashiro: !

---

Part 2 Yashiro: .... I'm indebted.* (an expression used to mean "I'm happy, embarrassed, or sorry'' when a superior shows kindness to you.) Shido: Ah, sorry. I don't mean it in a weird way. But this was a cunning way of saying it By the way, is there anything you want to do? Yashiro: (Should I ask the main character for today, Shido-san, what his wishes are instead? No, I am already way behind. It would be better to make some suggestions so it wouldn't bother Shido-san Oh that reminds me) Shido: Huh, this is surprising Yashiro: (What I suggested is the illumination event at the park) Yashiro: This event is being held for a limited time. I remembered on the internet that a lot of people were saying "The plants in the park were lit up and it was so beautiful." I think it would be a good idea to take a walk in terms of the schedule... There are a lot of benches so if you are tired of walking, you can take a rest easily. Luckily, the weather is nice today Shido: It would definitely be perfect for a walk Yashiro: (Shido-san might be saying that but as expected, the park may have been too popular I should have probably come up with a stylish hideaway spot like a rooftop garden somewhere...) Shido: Thank you for taking me to this wonderful place Yashiro: Eh? Shido: Even though it was so sudden, I'm happy that you thought about everything before making your choice. Things like whether it's a place I'd like, or whether it's an environment that's easy for me to rest in. Yashiro: ..... Ah, that's right but I don't think I was able to consider everything. Shido: The illuminations here and there are so beautiful that it makes me want to walk around the park and enjoy them. Usually, I would never visit a place like this by myself, but it's nice. It's refreshing. Yashiro: (I can't shake the feeling of anxiety though. Still, now that I've gotten to know Shido-san a little, I'm sure those words aren't lies Ahh, I'm glad. I did think he would really like it) Shido: This one. Whose design is it? You can see different personalities, I don't think it's just one person's work Yashiro: I think I saw on the internet that it was produced by a team of up-and-coming artists Shido: I knew it Yashiro: (Shido-san's eyes were shining brightly because of the illuminations He told me that it wasn't just because of the lighting, but that from the bottom of his heart, he was enjoying this space.)

--- Part 3 Riku: So the two of you went for a walk in the park? Shido: Yes, it was surrounded by fantastic art so I had an interesting experience Riku: Hmm is that so Kiho: Come on, Riku. Don't be jealous Riku: But, well, it was a meaningful time for Kyoya. You can tell just by looking at his face Kiho: We should be grateful to Ito for thinking up of something during that sudden situation Weren't you nervous about suddenly having to spend time alone with Kyoya-kun? Riku: Where shall I take him? What should I say? Is this too commonplace? Am I boring him? Something like that. I am sure your mind was in a frenzy Yashiro: You hit the mark Kiho: This is the first time I've seen someone declare it on their own Yashiro: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't confused at all, but I really did have a lot of fun too. You don't need to worry about it, really. Shido: I am relieved that you said that Yashiro-san, thank you again for the special time It was a fun surprise. For me, today, that time was my birthday present Yashiro: Wait, that's....Rather it was me who was having more fun But if that's what Shido-san feels then I am happy Riku: What are you two doing already concluding on your own Kiho: To make our presence known, I guess we'll give you the gift we originally planned Today is a drinking party that serves as a celebration. Please enjoy as much of Kyoya-kun's favorite food as you like. Shido: I will take your word for it. Thank you for the meal Riku: Then, I would like to make a toast. Hold your glass. Once again... Kiho: I hope this year will be a wonderful one for Kyoya-kun Everyone: Cheers Yashiro: Shido-san, happy birthday Shido: Thank you I'm blessed with wonderful people, I am a happy man Yashiro: (Shido-san's eyes as he smiles, were as bright as the time I saw them at the park)

Break My Case, new joseimuke game from coly

Official site

Coly (Mahoyaku, Stand My Heroes, and the now canceled &0) have announced a new game called Break My Case. More info will likely be released at this year's AGF. Preregistration is currently open.

The overall plot seems to be about a hidden detective/fixer agency that solves problems. Character designer is Yukihiro Utako who worked on B-PROJECT, and there's quite the star-studded cast of VAs: I saw Ono Yuki, Fukuyama Jun, Kobayashi Yusuke, and Furukawa Makoto while skimming the character pages.

And the characters do look really neat:

“It’s like a thread, tangling, linking us to something. Until slowly we are completely bound.”

Part 1

Yashiro: (When I arrived 10 minutes late at the appointed time, everyone from Simulation Department have already gathered)

Yashiro: I apologize for keeping you waiting!

Mao: It’s fine. Have you finished your work?

Yashiro: Yes, thanks to you

By the way, what situation is this?

Yashiro: (On the table, there are a lot of drinks)

(There were clearly too many glasses lined up for the number of people here)

Akehoshi: I thought beer is the best way to have a toast, so I ordered some

The cocktails look delicious and I even found a rare fruit wine too

Kou: For which I stopped him there

Mao: Well, with five people, I'm sure they will finish it eventually

Many of them can handle their alcohol

Though I wish you wouldn’t include me in the head count

Yuragi: Mao, I recommend this frozen cocktail. It has a low alcohol content so it is easier to drink

Mao: Heh, thanks. I’ll take it

Kou: So that is the reason why. It would help us if you drink anything you find interesting

Yashiro: I understand. Then I will feel free to take it

Kou: Well, now that we all have gathered, it’s time to start

Ito, can I have this toast with you?

Yashiro: Okay then, with your permission…

Kou, Akehoshi, Yuragi: Happy birthday!

Yashiro: (Today is Mao-san’s birthday celebration.)

(We all raised a glass and made a toast.)

Yashiro: By the way, the reason you chose this place, is it because of that?

Yashiro: (The part where I was pointing my finger --- The shelf by the wall which was lined up with board games)

Yuragi: Yeah. I think it's perfect for Mao if it's a game bar

Akehoshi: Especially, it would be fun to play games with everyone that's why the 3 of us planned it

Let’s name it the “Ukyo Birthday Cup”

Yuragi: You get 1 point for every 1 win. For every 10 points ahead, the prize winner will receive a party favor

Yashiro: This would be the winning prize?

It is certainly a gift for Mao-san?

Yuragi: That is what I prepared, but it is boring if I just give it to him

Mao: So in other words, the person who will win, they are going to steal the present for me?

Yuragi: Yup. If you want it, you have to be the overall champion

Yashiro: A birthday party where the main character is being provoked…..

Maybe this is the first time I am experiencing it

Mao: There’s a lot of things I still want to delve into but okay fine have it your way

Yashiro: (.... Even though it’s not to the full extent, this still feels like Mao-san)

(And so, the birthday present to be won… The “Ukyo Birthday Cup” has begun)

---

Part 2

Mao: Yes. That’s my win

Yuragi: No way….

Akehoshi: Isn’t he too powerful?

(We already played various types of board games for 9 times)

Yashiro: Mao-san got 9 points right now…..

Akehoshi: He’s winning by himself~

Kou: As expected, there is no room for more evidence

Mao: There is no way I’d be happy to be taken for granted,

And I have no intention of doing so

Akehoshi: In fact, if you slack off, won’t you be punished?

Yashiro: (That’s true….)

(Mao-san would not be pleased if he just lets the player win)

(Everyone understands this and played the game seriously, even Mao-san who dared to accept the game)

(It was very typical)

Kou: Well, Mao is really good at games

I pretty much knew this was going to happen

Mao: So, what are you gonna do?

I don’t think it is possible to turn the tables now

Akehoshi: Well, there’s still that though

If you win the last game, you’ll get 10 points

Yashiro: That’s what you promised, isn’t it?

Mao: Then what’s the point of the game so far

Kou: Of course, it would turn out like this

Yuragi: This is the real decision, and it’s the most serious one, so go for it

Ito too

Yashiro: I understand

I will do my best, if you let me

Mao: Isn’t everyone on fire somehow?

Well, I accept

So what will be the last game?

Akehoshi: I think this would be the best choice

Here ya go

Yashiro: (From Akehoshi-kun’s pocket, a playing card slipped down….)

Yuragi: I heard you can bring games to this place

Yashiro: I understand. So we are using playing cards

Kou: Board games have a strong theoretical element, so I guess Mao can win with experience

With this, I think this will be a different game

Mao: OK

So with this number of people, President card game? Or like poker?

Yashiro: (Kou-san, Akehoshi-kun, and Yuragi-kun each exchanged glances and smiled in amusement)

Kou: This is the final game after all

Akehoshi, Yuragi: Old Maid game!

(Ukyo Birthday Cup. The Final Game: Old Maid

which foretells a storm, has begun)

---

Part 3

Yuragi: …..

Yashiro: (Yuragi-kun hands me a card without saying a word)

(Ever since the game started, or even before that, he has been completely expressionless)

Akehoshi: Yura’s expression is really hard to read

Well then, I’ll do this

Yup, Ito-san, here ya go

Yashiro: …. Please wait a moment

(Akehoshi-kun, you are the one who is always trying to make me pick a card)

(He can control his facial expressions, such as smiling on purpose or looking sad)

Yashiro: Well, I will take this

(The card I picked — It was the Old Maid

My heart suddenly started pounding loudly)

Mao: Then the next one is me

Yashiro: (The position of the card that Mao-san is pondering. It is a huge responsibility)

Yashiro: Mao-san, here you go

Mao: ….. Ito, your poker face is good

Yashiro: (It seems that the tension is making the muscles stiffen and the facial expression to disappear)

Mao: Then I will get this one

(The card that Mao-san pulled is the Old Maid)

Yashiro: (That’s a relief…. Or is it?)

(It’s a good development since the Old Maid now falls in Mao-san’s hands but there it also became suspenseful in another sense)

Kou: Is it my turn to draw?

Mao, isn’t it about time for the Old Maid to appear?

Mao: Are you playing games with me?

That’s what I want, Kou

(The Old Maid went round and round and as the result of the fierce battle….)

Mao: Yes, the last one

Yashiro: Aaaaah!

Yuragi: Lost again….

Kou: Even without the Old Maid, it’s definitely Mao who comes in first place

Yashiro: I’m sorry, it was like as I had been drawn to the card

Akehoshi: It’s not your fault, Ito-san. Your poker face was good though

Mao: Yeah. I couldn’t read Ito’s expression at all

I was reading the expressions of the three. I can kind of understand their tells because we have known each other for a long time

Kou, Akehoshi, Yuragi: !

Yashiro: (While looking at the reactions of the 3, he can tell the location of the Old Maid….?)

(If you think about it in that way, then it is no surprise that Mao-san won in this game as well)

(As expected, I guess he really understands them well)

Kou: So you saw through my tell

Yuragi: Aaaa, failed to steal the present away

Akehoshi: The winning prize will be presented

(A large gift box was presented to Mao-san)

Yashiro: Mao-san, congratulations

Mao: Thanks

Kou: He looks happy considering he knew he was going to win

Mao: I knew that, but how you feel when you actually receive it is another matter

Yuragi: That’s the conclusion

Yashiro: (When you look at Mao-san, you can tell even without words)

(.....He’s really happy to receive it)

Yuragi: ….. Hey, how about in the next game, we’d give 20 points?

Mao: No way, it’s already over

Kou: Mao was so strong that it was settled quite quickly

There’s still some time left, isn't there

Yashiro: ….. So that means

Akehoshi: Revenge match decided~

Mao: You’re not going to keep playing until I lose, are you

Yashiro: (Yuragi-kun starts shuffling the cards without questions asked)

(It looks like this lively night will continue) -END-
