A peaceful afternoon in Leanbox
"My, It's already that time?" Vert said as she heard her alarm rang. She let out a sigh as she extends her arm to reach her phone and turn off the loud noise. Once again facing her monitors, she reluctantly typed on her keyboard.
'My fellow warriors, It pains me to say this but I would be unable to continue this journey due to an important matter I need to attend to. Please fight bravely on my behalf.' She pressed enter and stood up.
"Well then, I better go and make sure that everything is ready." She left her room. "Chika, have you finished the preparations?"
Meanwhile in Lowee
"This is so unfair! How come you get to visit other countries!" Ram whined.
"We...want to come too" Rom added.
"No, you can't. I'll be back tomorrow. Mina would take care of you until then." Blanc said firmly.
Feeling bad about the two pouting candidates, Mina lightly placed her hands on each of their shoulders. "Come now, let's go continue your studies. Your big sister would be back home before you know it."
Seeing her little sisters still upset, Blanc got closer and looked at her sisters genuinely. "I'll bring back lots of souvenirs." The kids cheered up. Doing a high five.
"Alright! Sweets" Ram cheered.
"Sweets." Rom repeated.
Straightening herself and picking up her bag, Blanc once again approached her oracle. "I'm off. Take care of eveything while I'm gone."
"Of course Lady Blanc. You can count on me." Mina replied.
With everything settled, Blanc turned her back against the three of them and walked towards the balcony where she transformed and flew away towards Leanbox.
Back at Leanbox
"I think this is good enough." Vert said after she finished tidying her room. After looking at the clock, she proceeds to head towards outside her own balcony. "Knowing Blanc, she should be here any minute." She smiled and sat at the chair in front of her.
"I wonder what got into her, to suddenly call and say that she would come and visit by herself." Vert mused. Her meetings with Blanc have mostly been business related or when she comes to visit with the twins. Plus the way Blanc called seemed unnatural. It's like she had an ulterior motive.
Noticing Blanc flying toward her, Vert slow stood up to properly greet her guest. "Whatever it is, I'm sure that it's nothing that I can't handle." She said confidently.
As White Heart slowly descends, she noticed Vert slowly approach her.
She transformed back and looked at Vert. "Thank you for having me." Blanc said amiably which caught Vert a little off guard.
"Welcome. Please feel at home." Vert said out of reflex. "Would you like some tea?" she beckons the table.
"Thank you. I would love some." Blanc replied.
Vert went to a chair and pulled it back for Blanc to sit on. As her guest sat she slowly pushed the chair back in place and poured her a cup of tea. After that she went back and sat on her own chair. And drank her tea.
After a minute of silence, Vert opened up with a question. "So Blanc, I was wondering what was the reason for this pleasant visit?"
Setting down her cup, Blanc stared at it for a while, hesitant to answer. After contemplating she looked at Vert shyly. "I want to be your little sister."
Vert almost spat her tea from her surprise. "I beg your pardon?"
"I hate to say this but..." Hesitating once more, Blanc started to play with her thumbs. Slowly gathering her courage to speak. "You see, I've decided that my new novel would be about sisters." Finally returning her gaze to her host, she continued. "Specifically the daily lives and relationship between two close siblings."
Vert was insulted and she showed it through her facial expression. Everyone knows that she had been jealous of the other goddess for having their own little sisters. Yet in front of her is someone lucky enough to be blessed with twins and even had the nerve to shove it on her face.
Standing up, Vert had the complete resolution to ask Blanc to leave her country at once, politely if she could. She was about to open her mouth to speak when she heard Blanc said "You're the best person I can ask."
"I'm sorry but my mind was a little preocupied, can you please repeat that?" Vert sat down, tempted to continue her tea to calm herself, but decided against it for she might do
another spit take which is undignified.
Feeling a little irritated, Blanc unwillingly repeated what she said, this time looking at the direction of Lowee. "I don't think my relationship with my sisters would be the best example for my novel because they are too young."
'You just can't get along with them very well' Vert thought to herself.
"Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram all look up to you so I think that you're the best person that I can ask this." Blanc finished, a little red.
Continuing her drink, she can't help but feel a little happy at what the shorter goddess just said. "But, have you thought about asking Noire and Neptune?"
A dark aura suddenly enveloped the Lowee goddess. "That Black cocky goddess... I'll never ask for her help!" She roared.
"Did something happened between the two of you?" Vert wondered.
"It happened the other day" The bitterness in the angry goddess' voice was clearly expressed.
Flashback on Lowee
Blanc is sitting in front of her desk working with mountains of paperwork when she recieved a call from the Lastation goddess. After the connection had been established, she was a little suspicious when she saw a smiling and happy Noire.
"Hey Blanc" Noire said cheerfully. Before Blanc could reply, Noire immediately showed a book in front of the camera. "Look, I wrote this book because I had a free time. I entered it to that contest you always mentioned and easily won. Who knew writing is so easy?" She said haughtily. "If you want, maybe I can help you write-" The call got disconnected by a hammer smashing the monitor in pieces.
Seconds after that Mina came rushing in "Not again."
Present time Leanbox
Vert couldn't help but sweat drop. "But won't it defeat the purpose to ask me for help? You're going this far to get back at Noire right?" Vert once again inquired.
Blanc nod. "Yes, normally that would be the case. But after I bought a new monitor..."
'There's more?!' Vert thought.
Continuation of the last flashback
Blanc always makes it a habit to buy a new monitor as soon as she broke one since it would be extremely hard to do her work without it. As she settled down to continue her business, another call came, this time from Neptune. Blanc reluctantly answered because Mina was glaring at her from the corner of the room.
"Yahoo! Hey Blanc!" Neptune greeted.
"What do you want Neptune?" Blanc asked, a little irritated. "I don't want to hear another story on how you puked your guts when you accidentally consumed an expired pudding."
"Boo! Don't be such a stickler Blanc." Neptune teased. "Did you heard the news from Noire? About the book that won the contest?"
Standing up and summoning her hammer in one quick motion, she was about to hit her monitor again but stopped when she felt a dangerous presence behind her. 'Shit I forgot Mina is still here!' Blanc panicked. Without looking at her oracle she desummoned her hammer and sat back.
"I'm sorry Neptune but I'm very busy with work. Could you please call another time? Preferably about something important or relevant." The Lowee goddess said monotonously.
"Big sis! Please don't bother Blanc with work!" Nepgear's voice is heard through the other line. Blanc couldn't help but to face palm.
"Eeeh! But this is important." Neptune whined. Blanc was getting angrier. "Any who, I had a dream the other day and told Noire about it. She then turned it into a book! How cool is that!"
"Huh?" Blanc was surprised.
"Yup. I guess Noire haven't told you yet. She said that she would though. Hmm, I've always knew that I was the genius behind our combination." The Planeptune goddess said proudly.
"I see, so Noire didn't won by herself" Blanc said in relief. "Thank you Neptune." She disconnected the call. Blanc sighed in relief.
"Lady Blanc, we have something important to discuss" Mina approached her goddess.
Back to present
"I see. I understand now." Vert said. "But why did you pick "Sisters" as your theme?" Vert herself was getting a little tired with all this questions. But she have to admit that she is intrigued.
"The next contest's theme is "Family"." Blanc said as a matter of fact.
'Family...' Vert smirked evilly as she thought of an idea. Standing up and offering Blanc her hand, she pulls the smaller goddess to come inside her room. Blanc followed.
As soon as they got inside Vert wasted no time putting her plan into action. She took her laptop from the drawer, turned it on and sat in her bed. She patted the space beside her. "Come and sit here" she invited.
"What are we gonna do?" Blanc asked. Sitting next to her host.
"We're going to play an eroge!" Vert said confidently.
It took a few seconds for the words to sink in. "W-what do you think you're making me do you crazy bitch?!" Blanc erupted. "Just because I'm asking for your help doesn't mean you can do whatever you want you pervert!"
"Calm down Blanc. Please listen to me first." Vert said. Waiting for the other goddess to calm down and to disregard all her intention of going berserk in her room before she continued. "Do you think you can win with a boring and normal story?" Blanc was stiffened. "This is not an ordinary eroge. This is an incest."
Blanc wanted to disagree and thrash the room but she knows that the taller goddess is right. Taking a long time to think, she turned beet red. "But incest is a little too much. I don't think that I-"
"You can do it. I believe in you. I'm sure that with your talent and my guidance, we can show those two." Vert assured her.
Clenching her fist, she couldn't believe that the goddess she consider as an enemy would say such uplifting things to her. "Alright then. I'm on your hands." Blanc gave up. Vert rejoiced on the inside.
Clicking the game, Vert scooted closer to Blanc. "Well then, let's play."
