Rikudou Chiso's route in Byouai is special.
She has overwhelmingly good visuals, a gorgeous voice actress, and even though it is a romantic cody ga, she kills the main character without any questions or problem at all. There were many voices from fans asking for a sequel to be made as an official heroine.
However, in response to that voice, the developnt company, even despite of those feelings, didn't try to realize the heroine of Chiso until the very end. [TL note: realize, as in, to make it happen.]
"She's a very special character, so it's no good to have a character who accepts her half-heartedly. In that respect, the main character is too ordinary, and if you want to tie her with the main character, we have to change Chiso's setting itself... with all that being said, please give up."
That was the answer from the devs.
The fans felt disappointed about that, but they certainly ca to the conclusion that it would be impossible for Chiso to accept the main character.
According to the specifications of the ga, Chiso also has a favorability rating, but no matter how close the two gets, her favorability rating will never exceed 30 or more, probably because the dead end will co early... It remains unclear whether that was the upper limit in the first place, or that was actually the indication of how close the player is to death.
"You, seems to be different than the people I've t up until now aren't you? but sorry 'kay? Honest, like I don't care at all or rather like I don't have any interest, in fact I can only think of you as food."
Even if the player pull the correct answer from all the options, the main character will not be tied to her in the end, and will be eaten by the darkness of the abyss that she releases.
As the lower half of his body is gradually eaten up, he sinks into the darkness. At that ti, from the perspective of the main character, the player, you can see Chiso with a maddened expression, and there was also Kuro Chiso with a harsh expression while holding Chiso's shoulder.
That scene is certainly a grotesque scene, but it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most powerful impression that make the impact, not, but also because her cry are recorded with mysterious music and a passionate voice actress.
"You see I..... I've been awfully going weird since long ti ago now you know."
Chiso puts her own hand on the hand of the sinking hero and continues her words.
"I killed my stepbrother and my stepfather. But it can't be helped, right? Anyone would fight back if they were about to be raped, and in the first place, no one would be sad about killing those scumbags."
The gradual darkening of the screen seems to represent the consciousness of the protagonist.
"From that mont on, I no longer hesitated to kill people... I wanted soone to stop was what I'm thinking, but no one did co to stop . I have nightmares every day, every day as if it was my punishnt for killing them. It's so painful and agonizing that my soul feels like it's going to burst apart that a nightmare overwhelms over you know."
Chiso shed tears blood-like red, but she was smiling.
"I devoured all the people who look at with such perverted eyes at school and all the stalkers who ambush near my house. All the people who look at like that... even so, with this endless thirst of mine, I can't help it anymore."
Does she wants to cry or to smile, to her who doesn't even know that, the main character's final choice cos up.
Did...... you want to be saved?
The mont the player chose that option, the screen went dark with an unpleasant soundone could see a glimpse that the protagonist was completely consud by the darkness.
"Want to be saved... that's right. I also thought about that too... but there is no such people. No one in this world accepts , much less says they love ."
The Confrontation Ending.....that was the dead end where her heart was revealed the most, and it was an event that aroused the various delusions of the players.
Many students think that school is troubleso.
Waking up early in the morning, heading to school while still being half-asleep, and then going to class again and feeling sleepy, that ti is painful.
Of course there are people who don't, and if one like studying, it's natural that it won't be as painful or anything, but... at least, I, even from way before, was still having things like that.
"Morning Nii-san!"
My morning starts with my cute little sister's smile-- isn't that the best?
"Nii-san?"
But... I 'm feeling a little strange today.
The reason why I stare at Chiso more than usual is sure because, of a dream, nonetheless, I deeply rembered her route that I used to play.
(It was a strange dream... it's not like I forgot about it or anything, but it was really a vivid dream that made realize it was true.)
In a sense, it was Chiso's cry from the heart, and her words contained resignation to the current situation where she could not be saved...... That's right ain't it, I will never let her make that kind of expressionthat's what I have chosen now.
"Morning Chiso, you look so cute today too aren't you! So can I hug you for a mont?"
"E, eehhh? That's totally welco, but--"
That's why I hugged Chiso in front of as hard as I could.
Maybe it was because partly the fault of the dream I'm having last night, but really, the best way to start the morning is to hug her like this right.
"... Ehehe, receiving a hug from Nii-san among other things in the morning, you're just being way too happy about it aren't you"
"I like Chiso who says things like that really."
"jeez.... I really don't think you should say things like 'like' so lightly like that~."
Its fine because we are siblings. Rather, Chiso is the one who often says that, right?"
"Guess so, I don't think there's a negative aning to the word 'I like you' unless it was about following soone or stalking them"
Exactly right? then we laughed at each other.
"Breakfast will be ready soon, so go and sit down, Nii-san."
"Aiyo. Thank you as always."
"Nonnon, such gratitude is unnecessary-on" [Tl note no 1]
As I sit on the chair staring at Chiso who has returned to cooking, Kuro Chiso stares at right next to .
She still can't say anything, but there's a part between us where words are no longer necessary.
"That's right. I have to do you too"
Saying that, I spread my arms as if gesturing that I have been waiting and Kuro Chiso cos and hugged .
Maybe her sensitivity is younger than Chiso, but when she was like this, she started to sll and rub her cheeks more and more.
"It's alright it's alright, you too are cute really~"
If I tell her that she is cute, her dark skin will turn red.
When I was stroking and patting her head, who hadn't changed since we t, Kuro Chiso glanced at Chiso who was cooking.
"Is anything wrong? are you curious?"
When I asked that question, Kuro Chiso shook her head and put her finger on my chest and started tracing.
It's slowly traced so that I can understand what she's writing.... Huh, I was able to understand what Kuro Chiso is writing in two words.
"Thank you.....was it. Haha, it's that should be thanking you. Not only Chiso, I am most grateful to have t you too."
Kuro Chiso pointed her finger at her, with an expression as if she would say the sa to .
I nodded while stroking her head, thinking it was only natural, and black mist blew out slightly from Kuro Chiso's body, but I understood that it was probably because she was happy.
"Breakfast is ready"
After cuddling with Kuro Chiso for a while, breakfast was ready.
After enjoying the food that Chiso made for us, we left the house to go to school.
"...?" (Chiso)
"What's wrong?" (Taiga)
While we were having a friendly conversation as usual, Chiso suddenly turned around.
Her figure looked as if she was on guard, and her shadow where Kuro Chiso was lurking was wriggling.
Chiso stared behind her for a while, but said nothing and started walking.
"Nee Nii-san, I really like my life now."
"I'm the sa you know?"
"Ehehe, I'm so happy But that's also why I can't forgive anyone who tries to threaten it."
"... was there sothing back there?"
Sure enough, I'm not the type who won't realize such a thing after being told this far.
I didn't notice anything, but with the way Chiso said it, soone might have been behind us.
"It's fine. I won't try to eat anyone anymore... I think. That's why, instead, I might just plant maybe a bit trauma in the depths of its heart"
While listening to Chiso's words, I glanced behind .
There was no one there, but after hearing Chiso's words, I seed to beco more aware and sensitive and felt like there was really soone there.
"Well what was it...... I'll request you to be gentle okay."
"You're not telling to stop, are you?"
"I won't say that. Like Chiso said, there is no rcy for those who threaten us... At that point, I ended up got used to various things about my old man."
"......I see."
"Also... I make this clear that I have no intention of denying Chiso. That might be overdoing it but, I've already accepted everything about Chiso."
"a......"
Well but, please, I beg you not to do anything too strange, is really what I'd like to say to that soone behind us.
I hoped so, but I thought it would be useless, and also until we parted ways to go to school, Chiso was in high spirits with a smile on her face.
[TL note no 1: they are being playful with each other, she is actually using "dayon" at the end of her sentence, but since turning that to English with its original Romaji would be silly I just added "on" to it.]
