It's an arcade. Negi hadn't been in a working arcade since Kyoto - the arcade in the mall here certainly wasn't working, and the machines weren't in such good condition. Where in the world was he?

One machine in particular caught his attention. The other ones, he'd seen before. All games seemed to be typical to arcades, the racing game and UFO catcher especially. But this one...

"A... 'dating sim'?"

The dating sim was definitely catchy. It was a bit strange though; most of the interactions were sort of bizarre and the choices were things like what to do if a guy (the main character was Usagi after all) picked on you, teased you, rescued you, protected you.

Regardless of what it was, it sounded like fun. In working at Mahora, he'd heard some of the students speak of dating sim games, and he had to admit, a part of him was incredibly curious to find out just what it was.

He approached the game, experimentally pressing one of the buttons, just to see what it would do.

Dating sims are, at least, very easy to get the basics of. Menus pop up asking for his choices, and the game waits until he inputs his decisions. It's all refreshingly ordinary to start; the heroine meets a few new people, gets into small trouble she can be rescued from by the various guys.

ugh, yes, I can brain today :| notamageiswear March 9 2011, 15:08:55 UTC

Negi had never been one to pick up video games, but the basics of it are rather simple. As the game progresses on, he actually... isn't doing all that bad. Until the decisions that he makes start screwing things up for the heroine, at which point he begins to flail and sputter a bit himself.

Whoops.

If Negi's been letting the heroine go home alone, she'll up with the Demando ending. People are always ready to snatch a heroine up, after all.

If he's been irritated over the little gestures - remembering her birthday, getting chocolate from her on Valentine's - he'll be heading for the breakup scene.

And if he's been eyeing those other girls and almost choosing them instead, he'll end up with the Dark Kingdom ending.

He's been eyeing the other girls, actually. Rather Unintentionally. He felt bad for leaving them out. After all, everyone should be included, right? It also doesn't help that Negi totally misses the point of a dating sim game.

Oh, dear. Bad Ending, Negi! Bad Ending!

The choices are made. The ending plays. The heroine's main love interest looks an awful like Mamoru, and he's suddenly in the black armor of the prince. He's also suddenly kneeling before a rather scary-looking redhead with fangs.

She tells him to kill the princess. There's not a trace of emotion in him when he moves to carry out her command. He strikes at Usagi.

Other scenes play of the times they almost, almost reached him. The times he saved them, saying it was only because their other enemies weren't playing fair and he wanted to defeat them honorably, or because fighting women still didn't sit right with his own still-honorable nature. But here, in the end, all that moved him was the witch's command.
