Meet a servant in the hall.

{if PotGW Bonus = true}L: Enjoy this, Jessica and Natsuhi fans, because this is preeetty much the last time they get anything important to do for a long time. Sorry if you clicked this route because you wanted those two.

B: I had quite enough of that Natsuhi... Can you explain why Player devoted so many chapters to her when he had a popular young lady to draw erotic encounters around?

L: Heh. Without MILF love, it cannot be seen!{endif}

I strolled through the halls of the mansion of Rokkenjima as though I owned it. Well, that honor still belonged to the previous masters of Rokkenjima, but at the very least, I could say I felt I belonged. As my two pets followed behind me on all fours, we came upon a figure in the dimly lit hall. It was the servant, Kanon, holding a lantern.

As he saw me approaching, Kanon bowed... only as a servant would to an honored guest, though. As he saw what was trailing behind me, I saw him shut his eyes with dissatisfaction, but apparent respect towards me. "Greetings, Mr. Player."

You should be calling me Master Player, Kanon.

"Is that so..." Kanon responded without commitment, averting his eyes from me. "If you're looking for the other guests, everyone is gathered in the dining hall for the family hall. All except the Master, of course."

Of course. Say, Kanon, do you know where Kinzo keeps his weapons?

The servant gave me a cold look, but sighed, pointing me in the direction. "The displays are, of course, locked, Mr. Player. If you want access to them, I suggest you find the Master and ask him yourself."

That won't be necessary. I merely wanted to see them.

"Very well..."

... Kanon. Tonight is a night of celebration, you know.

"... I don't see any cause for furniture to celebrate, whether it's your game or the Great Witch's," Kanon muttered, meeting my eyes again. "However, if we can be of service-"

Kanon! I'm asking you to celebrate with me. Treat this night on Rokkenjima as though it was your last. I've prepared a gift for you in honor of your dedicated service.

"... That won't be necessary," Kanon replied through gritted teeth, screwing his eyes shut.

I insist, Kanon. I can't stand in the way of fated love, after all. I can only help awaken it and give it a gentle push... Speaking of things that have been awakened and given "gentle pushes," there she is now! She's been waiting to meet you, young man.

I finally got Kanon to follow my eyes into the darkness. With a tug of my leash, I had my pet Jessica crawl forward. As a pet, naturally, Jessica was not permitted to wear any clothing other than the band that formed her ponytail, nor did she wish to. She looked up at Kanon with an expectant smile...

Kanon simply clenched his teeth harder and turned to me again. "What you have chosen to do with Milady-"

This is what your lady has chosen for herself. If you won't hear it from me, hear it from Jessica.

"Kanon..." she began, crawling over to him so close that the young man had to lean back slightly to avoid contact with her. "I wanted you to see me... Don't you get it? Tonight, you can see any part of me that you want! It doesn't matter if you're furniture, a servant, or whatever... Tonight, you can see and touch me all you want! Tell him, Mom!"

Natsuhi wandered forward from the darkness, not quite as spry as her daughter moving in that fashion. "Yes... Kanon, for tonight, my family is happy to grant you whatever privileges you wish with my daughter. If you and Jessica wish it, why shouldn't it be so? Mr. Player has shown us that his love has no use for the order and restrictions that restrain us during the day." She smiled at Kanon, showing him the warmth she always felt but could never express.

Kanon... I know being cold is part of your character, but I must ask you not to judge how a woman pleases herself within the walls of her own home so harshly.

"If this is what my lady has decided... I'll abide by it," Kanon spoke quietly, bowing his head. "As furniture, it's not my place to intervene. I'll simply continue preparations."

Very well. Feel free to come and join us if you change your mind.

"D-don't be too late, okay?" Jessica begged him, still smiling with love in spite of the young man's callous cold shoulder. "Tonight might be the only night... for us to really see each other..."

I tugged the leash gently to have the two women follow me. Neither made any effort to hide their nudity.

"Player!" Kanon shouted after me. It looked like he was starting to approach me, but he stopped, holding his fists at his side. "How far... are you planning on taking this?"

I gave Kanon a smug smile and turned, swishing my cape. All the way to the Golden Land, Kanon!

I made a little detour by the display room to see the weapons that were ready there. After I'd had a chance to see them, I headed to the main hall on my way to the dining room.
