Slowly prying her eyes open, minor fatigue washed over Noire as if attempting to keep her bedridden. A gentle tug of dreamland lingered over her mind like a cloud of smoke. She shifted her head against the pillow, feeling the soft fabric against her cheek.
Noire shivered when a cold chill appeared on her fair skin. She pulled herself closer to the heater next to her. It was a nice, soft heater, and after realizing that she already had her arms around it she decided to entrap it with her legs, too, maximizing her warmth and comfort. Perfect.
"This will be my life, now," Neptune mumbled. "Squished every morning by a Noire constrictor."
"Ssh," Noire hushed. "Sleep time."
"Nope," Neptune murmured. "Work time. We slept all the way to noon…"
"Then, still sleep time," Noire said as she nuzzled into Neptune's bare chest.
"When did you become the lazy one? I thought I was?"
"Just now…" Noire grumbled as she tightened her hold on Neptune's waist.
Neptune sighed, but didn't object, simply hugging her back. Noire had just started slipping into a comfortable daze when the door unexpectedly slammed open.
"Lady Neptune! Stop slacking and get to- Oh my goddess!" Lenna immediately covered her eyes as she turned around. "Forgive my intrusion! I did not know that Lady Noire would be here!"
Noire groaned, "This is my punishment for trying to be lazy for once…" she let go of Neptune and sat up while tugging on the blanket to cover herself.
Neptune chuckled as she sat up as well, using her blanket to cover her small naked body. "Don't worry about it, Lenna. Noire came by last night, so it's expected that you weren't notified."
"Neptune? Have you awoken? I'd like to see- Oh my goddess!" This time is was Histoire that came in to see the pair. She quickly covered her eyes and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Neptune, I didn't know you were busy. Is this a bad time?"
Noire rubbed her temple and answered for her girlfriend, "No, we were just getting up. I need to get back to Lastation anyway, so Neptune is all yours."
"Awe~" Neptune pouted. "You're not gonna stay for breakfast?"
"You seem to be busy, so I'll let you work," replied Noire.
"Great. Neptune, I'd like to see you in the Share crystal room. It's important," said Histoire. "I'll meet you there, so please, dress yourself."
"After your meeting with Histoire, please get to your office. A new set of documents have been sent there," Lenna informed, still with her eyes covered.
"Okaaaay…" Neptune groaned.
Lenna and Histoire quickly exited out of the purple CPU's room and closed the door. The two goddesses jumped out of the bed and stretched out their limbs. It was hard to move around when they felt the numbness and soreness from between their legs, but they made their way to the bathroom to have a shared shower.
Noire was hesitant to enter the shower with Neptune. It was embarrassing for her, but Neptune dragged her in and offered to wash her back. It wasn't sexual in anyway like Noire would have thought. It was calm, pleasant and nice. Really nice. Her first shared shower with Neptune was a great experience. She would've done it more often if she had known it was this relaxing.
After the shared shower, Noire left for her nation while Neptune gone to the room where her Share crystal resided. It was a dark room with a stand holding the floating power button shaped crystal. It glowed brightly, showing the amount of faith people have in Neptune. Histoire stood next to it as she waited for the Purple goddess.
"Alrighty! I'm here! What's so important, Histoire?" Neptune asked.
"Just a second…" Histoire turned around and called out, "Come out, it's alright."
A girl taller than Neptune stepped out from behind the stand. She had long purple hair and purple eyes. She was dressed in a white dress with striped stockings. She gave a timid smile as she walked forward. "Um… are you my… um, sister?"
Neptune gasped, "Wha-?! Histy! Who's that hot girl you have with you? A new character?!"
"Her name is Nepgear, Neptune. And she is your younger sister," Histoire informed.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Nepgear. Um, I hope to be of acquaintance."
"Oh… my younger sister…" Once the words set in, she panicked, "Say whaaaaat?! I-I have a younger s-sister?! Since when?! Histy! W-What do I do?! What do I do?!"
"Get a hold of yourself, Neptune. She was born from the power of the Shares."
Neptune tilted her head in puzzlement. "…Huh? You're not getting to me?"
"With the previous battle, your shares inflated and a new goddess was born."
"My shares inflated? Hmm…" Neptune tilted her head in thought. "You sure it wasn't because of Noire giving me her shares?"
Histoire gave Neptune a weird look. "Excuse me?"
"Oh, um… never mind," Neptune chuckled as her cheeks turned slightly pink.
"I, uh… was just born, so… I don't know much, but I will do my best," voiced Nepgear.
"Heh, oh shucks. Now I'm a big sister. I'm a bit embarrassed now," Neptune blushed as she rubbed the back of her head. "Oh! I need to tell Noire about this, she'll be so surprised! I'm a big sister now!"
"Well, please take care of Nepgear. Thank you."
"Sure thing, Captain Histy! Come on, Nep Jr.! I'll show you around!"
"N-Nep Jr.?"
"You know, I'm Nep-tune and you're Nep-gear, so Nep Jr.! Now, come!" Neptune grabbed onto Nepgear's hand and dragged her out of the dark room.
Histoire sighed, "Now, I must get to Lastation…"

Noire sat at her desk, stamping paper after paper. She then received a text from her phone. When she checked who it's from, she discovered that it was from Neptune. The text she got was quite outrageous. What does she mean she's a big sister now? Noire has no idea what Neptune was talking about.
"Noire, Noire? Can you hear me?"
Noire flinched and looked around. "Histoire? Is that you?"
"Yes, sorry to have bothered you. Are you busy now?"
Noire looked at her desk only to see a few papers left. "Not really. Is something wrong?"
"May I borrow you for a second?"
"What's the matter Histoire? Is it urgent?"
"There's someone I'd like you to meet. Can you please come and see me. I'm in your Share crystal room." Histoire disconnected, leaving Noire to her thoughts.
"Meet someone? I wonder who…?"
Leaving her office, she walked to her Share crystal room. It was a big room with many holographic screens on the wall, showing different economic graphs. In the center of the room was her Share crystal, glowing brightly above the stand. Histoire stood next to it as she waited for the Black goddess.
"I'm here Histoire. But first, how did you get in here?"
"Kei showed me the way," Histoire answered.
"Alright, so who is it you wanted me to meet?" Noire inquired.
Histoire didn't answer as she moved aside, letting a short girl with dark hair walk out from behind the stand. She wore a black dress with two ribbons in her hair. She looked anxious and a little scared. "Ah, um… nice to meet you." She took a deep breath and voiced with more confidence, "My name is Uni."
Noire smiled, seeing how cute this younger girl was. "I'm Noire, the CPU for Lastation… Well, I guess you would know that." She turned to look at the floating tome.
"So, Histoire. Who is she? Is she lost from her parents or something?"
"She is your younger sister," she simply replied.
"My younger sister, really? So I'm finally an older sister…" Noire blushed, feeling honored, but when the words really settled in, she realized what Histoire had said. "…Whoa, what?! Wait! What's going on here?!"
Histoire expected that reaction and explained just like she had to Neptune. "With the previous battle, your shares inflated and a new goddess was born."
"Oh… My shares inflated?" Then Noire remembered last night and blushed. "You sure it wasn't because of last night? Neptune had been giving me a lot of her shares, but I made sure to return the same amount."
Histoire gave Noire the same weird look she gave to Neptune. "I'm sorry, what about last night?"
"N-N-Nevermind. So the same happened to Neptune then?"
Histoire nodded, "Yes, her younger sister was born first, so I needed to talk to Neptune. I left after seeing Neptune and her new sister getting along, and then I came straight here to see you. I hope you will take great care of Uni."
"Well of course, I'll raise her to be a great goddess. But first…" Noire turned to Uni. She needed to set things down for her. Younger siblings usually meant trouble, so she needed to show her who's boss. "Just because you're my younger sister doesn't mean I will go easy, you hear? I won't tolerate any slacking!"
Uni flinched and began to look frightened. "Ah, um… Well, I…" She didn't know how to react to the harsh tone Noire gave her and she took a step back out of fear.
Histoire couldn't believe her eyes or ears. "What are you doing, Noire?! Uni was just born. You're already scaring her!"
Noire winced from the loud voice of Histoire. "Ah…" She looked at Uni to see her cowarding back. Now she felt guilty for scaring her younger sister that she just discovered. Neptune probably didn't scare her sister like this.
Uni stuttered, "I-I…"
Noire softly smiled and walked closer to Uni. "I'm sorry, Uni. I caught you off guard, didn't I?" Noire wanted to be a good sister, so her first step was to show Uni that she wasn't scary. "Th-That was only about work. Aside from that, rely on me at any time."
Uni smiled, "O-Okay… thank you, sister."
Noire suddenly felt all giddy inside from being called 'sister' for the first time. She wondered if Neptune felt the same way she did. "We'll be great together, Uni."
"I see that things are going well, so I'll be going," said Histoire.
"Of course, does Neptune know about Uni?"
"No."
Noire smirked, "Alright, Uni, let's go! We're gonna go brag to Neptune about how great you are!"
"Who's Neptune?" Uni asked as Noire pulled on Uni's hand.
Histoire watch the two Lastation sisters exit the room, leaving her to herself. She sighed, "Next is Lowee. I'm gonna have to fly a long way…"

"We should have a meeting in my nation," said Vert, through the computer screen.
Blanc sighed, "Fine, but we need to inform Noire and Neptune."
"Of course. I'll talk to Neptune, why don't you give Noire a call," suggested the green goddess.
"No matter," voiced Blanc. "I'll see you later."
Blanc ended her facecam with Vert on her desktop and was about to call Noire, when someone called out to her.
"Blanc, may I borrow you for a moment?"
Blanc recognized the voice. "Histoire? How unusual for you to contact me."
"There's some people I'd like for you to meet. Can you please stop by your Share crystal room?"
"Meet me…? I wonder who…" Blanc got out of her seat and left her office. She walked up to the top floor where her Share crystal is located. She entered the large dark room with light only coming from her Share crystal that's floating in the middle of the room. Histoire was already inside waiting, which surprised Blanc. "Histoire, how did you get up here?"
"Your oracle, Mina, showed me the way."
"I see… so who is it that you wanted me to-!" Suddenly, something hit the back of her head, causing Blanc to grunt in pain. "Ouch! The hell was that?!"
"Yay! Strike one!" shouted a girl in a pastel pink winter coat.
"That looked painful…" voiced the other girl in a pastel blue winter coat.
Histoire looked at the girl in pink and scolded, "Now, now. Ram, that wasn't nice of you. Books are for reading, not throwing."
Blanc looked at the two brunettes. "…Kids?"
"I'm sorry, Blanc," Histoire apologized. "It looks like Ram started the time off badly."
Blanc sighed, letting her anger calm. "…It's okay. They're just kids. I can let it slide. And? Are these kids who you wanted me to meet?"
"Yes. Their names are Ram and Rom. They're your younger sisters."
"…"
Histoire was surprised that Blanc showed no reaction, unlike Neptune and Noire. "…Um, Blanc?"
"…Wait." Blanc had her eyes closed while her eyebrows were scrunched up. "Let me remember if I ever had younger sisters…"
"Um, no. They were just born actually."
Blanc opened her eyes to show Histoire how confused she was. "…What do you mean?"
"With the previous battle, your shares inflated and a new goddess was born…"
Blanc didn't like the sound of that. "…Shares are so convenient," she bitterly voiced.
"Don't say that… Now in your case, twins were born, which is quite rare."
Blanc raised an eyebrow. "In my case? Did something similar happen?"
"Yes, both Neptune and Noire are now older sisters, but they only have one younger sister while you have two," said Histoire. "So, please take care of them. Oh, and no pampering. It isn't good for them."
"I'll see what I can do."
"Looking forward to it, big sister!" Ram chirped.
"Y-Yes… n-nice to… meet you," Rom stuttered.
Blanc softly smiled at them, "Nice to meet both of you too, Rom. Ram."
Histoire smiled, happy to see that it went a lot better than Neptune's and Noire's situation. Probably because Blanc didn't panicked as much as Neptune or Noire did.

"Uni is so much cuter!" voiced Noire.
"Do you not see Nep Jr.'s adorable face!" Neptune countered. "It's ten times cuter than Uni's!"
Noire gasped, "You take that back! Uni is the most precious little sister ever!"
"You just met her!"
"You just met Nepgear awhile ago too!"
Uni and Nepgear watched their two older sisters bicker back and forth about who got the cuter younger sister. Neptune had decided to go out with Nepgear to get ice cream when they met up with Noire and Uni. The two younger sisters got ice cream while the older sister got into a fight.
"Are they really dating?" Uni asked.
Nepgear chuckled, "Apparently."
"So um… Nepgear, right?"
"That's me, and your name is Uni, right?"
Uni nodded and she bit into her ice cream cone. "So you were born an hour earlier than me?"
"I was actually born last night, around 11, I think, so we're about 12 hours apart."
"I'll make Uni into a better CPU than Nepgear!" Noire claimed.
"Well, I'll make Nep Jr. into a better CPU than Uni!" Neptune returned.
Uni sighed, "How long is this gonna go? I don't really care who's cute or not."
"I think you're pretty cute, Uni," complemented Nepgear.
Uni blushed and stuttered, "Ah, um… T-Thanks… I-I think you're pretty cute too, Nepgear."
"I'm glad! I hope we become great friends!" Nepgear chirped.
"L-Likewise."
"Noire! Stop being stubborn!"
"You stop being stubborn!" Noire bellowed.
Uni groaned, "I can't take this anymore! I'm already bored."
Nepgear then thought of an idea. "Hey! I saw a store nearby that sold games. Would you like to go see?"
Uni smiled, liking the idea already. "Sure!"
The two younger sisters left the park without Noire and Neptune noticing. The two older girls continued to argue until a loud ringtone disrupt them. Neptune took out her phone to see Vert's name. She answered the call, "Vert! What's up, my girl?"
"Hello, Neptune. I hope I didn't call at a bad time…"
"Nah, I'm free all day."
"That's good, I'm calling because Blanc and I agreed to plan a meeting at my basilicom tomorrow. I wanted to confirm if that's alright with you?" said Vert.
"I'm fine with that, but let me ask Noire."
"Oh! Noire's with you? Blanc was gonna facecam her," Vert voiced.
"Yeah, I met up with her and Uni along with Nep…" When Neptune turned to look at her sister, she found the bench empty.
Noire noticed the pale look on Neptune's face and followed her line of sight to an empty bench. "Uni?"
"Nepgear?" Neptune subconsciously voiced. When the situation entered her mind, Neptune went back to Vert and said, "Sorry, Vert, I'll call you back!"
"Neptune? What is the-?"
Neptune ended the call and looked at Noire to see her just as distressed. "Where did they go?! I didn't even notice they were gone!" she yelled.
"They couldn't have gone that far, let's go look for them!" Neptune said.
The two girls decided to split up and run around the park looking for their sisters. They asked around the citizens if they saw a girl with purple hair and a girl with dark hair, but they got nothing.
When two hours of searching passed, the older girls gave up and went back to the bench where they last saw their younger sisters. They both slumped down on the wooden bench and whimpered.
Noire lowered her head into her hands and cried, "I'm such a bad sister. I can't believe I lost Uni… What kind of older sister would lose their younger sister?! Me, that's who!"
"Don't blame yourself, it was my fault. I'm the one that said we should go to the park."
"That doesn't change anything. I should have kept an eye on her, instead-!"
"We were arguing against each other about who has the cuter sister when we know nothing about them," Neptune finished for her.
Noire nodded, "Yeah…"
Neptune loudly groaned, "Man, we screwed up!"
"I don't even know why we started that argument, there's really no point to it…"
"Like the Console War," Neptune softly said.
"Yeah…"
"We're gonna have to talk about that tomorrow at Vert's place."
"That's fine, I don't mind going back to the building that kept me chained up and got me raped," Noire sassed.
"Sorry," Neptune apologized. "I agreed and so did Blanc. It's two votes against one."
Noire sighed as she leaned back against the bench, looking up at the blue sky that's dusted with white clouds. "It's fine, really. I just hope that Uni and Nepgear are okay."
"Yeah, me too," Neptune agreed.
"Oh! There they are! Hey, big sis!"
Noire immediately knew that voice. She jerked up from the bench to see Uni walking over with Nepgear. She ran over and brought Uni into a tight hug.
"B-Big sis? What's wrong?" Uni asked as she returned the embrace.
Noire sniffled as she pulled back. Her red eyes were glazed over with wetness, but she was glaring at the younger girl. "Don't you dare run off like that ever again!"
Uni flinched from the harsh tone. It was a lot angrier than she first heard Noire being harsh and it frightened her. She didn't want to say anything to make it worse so she kept her mouth shut.
"Do you have any idea how worried I was! I was afraid that I would lose you forever! I was so scared when I couldn't find you!" Noire yelled.
Uni looked down in shame and apologized, "I-I'm sorry, big sis… I-I won't do it again…"
Nepgear jumped in to defend her friend. "Lady Noire, please don't be angry with Uni, it was me that asked her if she wanted to come. She didn't do anything wrong, I'm the one at fault."
Noire deeply inhaled and said, "It doesn't matter who's at fault, I just want you guys to tell one of us where you two are going, otherwise we'll be worried."
"Yeah, you have no idea how long we looked for you, Nep Jr.," said Neptune. "I'm very upset with you!"
"I-I'm sorry, Neptune," Nepgear said.
"We just want you to understand how we feel, so tell us where you're going next time." Noire brought Uni in for another hug and this time she kissed Uni on the temple. "You understand?"
Uni smiled, "Yes, big sis."
Noire smiled back, "Good."
"So, where did you guys go, Nep Jr.?"
"Oh!" Nepgear pulled out the game she bought to show her sister. "We went and bought this. It's a game called Doom. It looked interesting, so Uni and I thought it'd be fun to play together."
"We didn't mean to worry you, big sis. We were just gonna visit this game shop and come right back, but we got sidetracked," Uni explained.
"There was this cool store that had so many machines on display!" Nepgear chirped as her purple eyes sparkled.
"They were mostly firearms," said Uni as her own red eyes also sparkled like Nepgear's. "There was this gun called the SSK .950 JDJ caliber rifle! The ship owner said that the SSK .950 JDJ was the largest caliber rifle ever built on Gamindustri, can you believe that! I even got to hold it!"
"He even showed me the parts!" Nepgear squealed.
Neptune and Noire both stood there like a deer caught in headlights while listening to their sisters squealing about machinery and guns. They looked at each other and smiled before placing their attention back on their siblings. They were just glad to see their younger sisters safe and happy. And that was all that mattered to them.
Author's Note
That's right! The candidates are finally here! Of course the story is ending, so there isn't much for the candidates to do.
Also, the last chapter is nearing, and no. It's not the next chapter. Like hell I'll end the story on a nice even number like 30. Ha ha! I'll be evil and end the story on an odd number! Hahaha! How do you all like that! I have two chapters all planned out already! This story will go out with a big 31!
So until this story hits 31 chapters, I'll see you all in chapter 30! Whenever that comes out... Hey, I have the planing done, doesn't mean I have the writing done. See y'all later!
