Chapter 2

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. “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. If you’re buying the sequel, it must be because the first game was pretty darn good, right? And she responded— I see. You haven’t played it. 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! And still with the politeness!! I am such a coward!! …… 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!! 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!! That’s grea… grea… uh… “Here,” she said, handing me the intercom. “Okay,” I said, accepting the intercom. I slowly raised it to my ear… ……… 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? This futility that makes me want to cry.
