"You know, he's not half bad, that brat. But I still think we should kill him before he starts breaking hearts again."

"Why do you say that?"

"Call it a hunch, Chachamaru. After I saw what he's capable of, he's a natural heart breaker. A lot of girls are going to have their dreams stepped on if he doesn't rein it in."

"… Are you worried, Chisame-san?"

"Hell no! I'm just concerned that the brat'll do something that'll screw up the rest of his time here. You've seen what can happen when he's with Ako and she's the most gun-shy around guys since she got rejected two years ago."

"Oi, Neechan I think the problem here is that you're jealous."

"Me! JEALOUS! Why you… stupid brat! Take this; hyper combo!"

"… That's completely unfair neechan. You know I suck at these games."

"It's a game of Super Smash Bros. for the Gamecube. Get over it."

"But you lodged me into the corner and started mashing the B button!"

"Chisame-san, it's not like Kotarou-san has played these games often."

"He'll learn, Chachamaru. Besides that, there's half a dozen of him in this room alone. He can learn from experience."

"Talk about being in two places at once. You know, I should get going so that Chizuru-neechan doesn't try to tie me to her back to keep me from running around."

"She's gotten used to you anyhow that's for certain. Although I think the jury is out on if Ayaka has gotten used to you."

"The old lady? She and I fight like cats and dogs!"

"There's the problem in itself you know; you just don't get along with people who get mad at you often. What happens if I punch you in the head?"

"I don't fight girls, you know that. Well, except for squinty-neechan anyhow."

"There lies your answer; you can't stand seeing cute women cry."

"HEY!"

"Er, Chisame-san?"

"I'm on a roll here Chachamaru. I think you need to learn how to interact with women a little more. Here; sit down here and I'll load up a game for you."

"Comic Party?"

"It's a game, non-h since it's the Dreamcast anyhow. Try not to screw up since this is a do or die scenario."

"… That look is scary, Chisame-san."

"If he's going to start learning how to interact with women, he'd best begin easily."

"Uh huh, and what are these for anyhow?"

"You'll see in a moment. Just interact with them like you would normally."

"UGH! She… she shot me!"

"…"

"…"

"… Satomi didn't warn me about that, really Chachamaru."

"Force feedback…"

"I… I think I'm bleeding…"
