The Next Rotation

The next morning, after Hajime shooed Mikan away from his cottage, he read the triggers and their fine details from the last three days.

Chiaki Nanami:

• A Hard Bet (Active): When offered a bet, she will always take it if she likes what she gets upon winning, and feels like she has a decent chance to win. Her losing terms will not affect her decision to take the bet. She will always forfeit what was agreed upon loss, but if she wins, she will expect you to forfeit what you agreed upon.
• Note: You cannot make a bet that has a habitual result. (i.e you cannot make her do things repeatedly or continuously with a single win).

Sonia Nevermind:

• Clean as a Princess (Active): If you ask her to clean something, she will do so in any way you tell her to. This includes cleaning with a certain object or body part, having her wear something specific while cleaning, and having her behave differently while cleaning. She will revert back to normal once the request is finished.

Hiyoko Sainoji:

• Dirty Dancing (Active): She will take any dance request, no matter how strange. If you tell her a dance that does not exist, she will use the name to deduce something she feels will fit the name, regardless if she actually wants to do so or not. She will also not stop dancing until you say to.

Mahiru Koizumi:

• Apology (Active): If you tell her you are sorry, she will drop anything she is mad at you about and forgive you.

Mikan Tsumiki:

• Good Night's Rest (Passive): Mikan will always want to sleep with you. She is physically incapable of falling asleep unless you are next to her. If you leave her side for two hours or longer, she will automatically wake up.

Ibuki Mioda:

• Solo Fingering (Passive): When you are alone with her, she will always be fingering her pussy if she has a free hand. She will always stop with enough time before anyone else arrives.

Peko Pekoyama:

• Clothes for Movement (Passive): She will never wear a bra, panties, or anything else that creates more than one layer between her skin and the air. If questioned, her excuse will be that they're too restrictive for movement.

Akane Owari:

• Strip Show (Passive): When you are alone with her, she will begin to strip down a little bit. She will always fix her clothes with enough time before someone arrives.

Well, those were all the triggers. He hadn't had a chance to experience Ibuki's or Peko's trigger so far, but it's no big deal. He knew how they worked now.

What caught his attention was the new list of triggers. Currently, there were four, down from the last time's eight.

Ibuki Mioda (Active): As a music star, she has to make her own costumes and outfits. If you ask, she'll surely make and/or wear an outfit of your choosing.

Peko Pekoyama (Active): She feels meditation is important to strengthening her soul. She's sure to do it if you tell her to.

Sonia Nevermind (Passive): This princess has a large vocabulary, but she might pull out some special words just for you.

Mahiru Koizumi (Passive): It wouldn't be surprising if a photographer like her did "special" photo shoots.

Well, four was a lot easier to manage, at least. But no matter how much he repeated that he wasn't going to use them, he couldn't help but feel intrigued by these new triggers.

He heard a knocking on his door.

"Huh?" Hajime asked, opening it. Peko stood there, waiting for him. "Oh, what do you need?"

"I just wanted to let you know that a new island seems to have been opened up for us," she said.

"Oh, that's cool," he replied. "Say, do you have anything you need to do right now?"

"Huh? Anything to do? No, not particularly. Why?"

Hajime debated with himself a bit. He literally just said he wasn't going to use the triggers, but to be fair, it'd be easier for him to understand how they work just in case he were to accidentally use one.
