ZettaiBlog 63: Last Boss Imouto
WARNING: BECAUSE OF REASONS I MUST TELL EVERYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 TO GET OUT OF MY BLOG! OBEY OR I’LL BE DEFENESTRATED! ALSO BE WARY OF WILD ROAMING SPOILERS! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!
Chiaki: Zettai, have you noticed we haven’t left the house in two months?
And what two months they’ve been!
Katja: Shut up, dog. I’m taking you for a walk.
Yes, mistress! But first, let me check if there’s anyone outside! *opens the door to reveal a beautiful middle school girl whose face is slightly covered by her bangs*
Girl: Oh… Thanks for opening the door… *the girl looks upward slightly to reveal her face*
You… You are…
Nadeko: Glad you remember Nadeko, Zettai-oniichan! *jump-tackles Zettai for a hug*
Chiaki: Another imouto in the imouto month, how surprising.
Katja: Hey, what about our walk? I had the leash ready!
Sorry, but it’ll have to wait a bit, Mistress Katja… What do you want, Nadeko?
Nadeko: Of course, Nadeko wants your body, Zettai-oniichan… *throws her usual jacket and jeans costume away to reveal a gym uniform with red bloomers* And Nadeko won’t accept a no for an answer…
H-Hey! This is great, but not in front of blog readers!
Nadeko: All safe, then… *bites Zettai’s neck seductively*
Chiaki: !
Katja: !
(Elsewhere)
Saipuu: W-What’s that? *Saipuu’s hair suddenly grows into an antenna, which catches a signal* Oniichan is in danger of being sexually assaulted by a middle school loli in a fetish costume!
Kanako: That sounds oddly precise.
Akiko: Your Oniichan or our Oniichan?
Saipuu: Oniichan!
Kanako: Which one?
Saipuu: Oniichan is Oniichan!
Akiko: This is like talking with Lassie…
Saipuu: Just come with me! *carries Akiko and Kanako on her shoulders and runs off*
(Back on Zettai’s house)
Nadeko: Ah, Zettai-oniichan… *straddles on Zettai’s crotch, her red buruma-clad ass bouncing up and down. Thankfully nothing is really happening yet*
….*is speechless*
Chiaki: I should stop this, but…
Katja: Chiaki, maybe we should go play some Smash Bros. and leave these two alone.
Chiaki: Ooh, I’m Kirby! *both girls leave*
Nadeko: And now there aren’t any voyeurs, we can go a step further… *puts her hands on her red buruma, but before she can continue three girls suddenly appear and push her off Zettai’s body* Who is it? Who keeps Nadeko away from Zettai-oniichan?
Akiko: His other imoutos, of course!
Saipuu: Stay away from Oniichan!
Kanako: We shall protect Zettai’s virginity!
You don’t need to say it out loud, I’m not Van…
Nadeko: You certainly look like a bunch of ragamuffins. What do you plan to do?
Saipuu: This, of course! *sits on Zettai*
Akiko: We won’t let you touch Zettai! *sits on him as well*
Kanako: You’ll have to get past us! *also sits on him*
Nadeko: You little hoochies! Time to do this, then! *pulls out the white snake amulet from within her pocket* A nice woman gave Nadeko this! *eats the amulet, then starts squirming and flailing*
Kanako: ….You okay?
Nadeko: Aaah! *suddenly her eyes become red and her hair turns into white snakes* Now you shall get off Zettai-oniichan! I, Nadeko, shall knock you down! *charges the sisters and indeed knocks them off Zettai*
Akiko: Owie…
Kanako: It hurts…
Saipuu: How dare you! *jumps at Nadeko, but she holds her legs with snakes and makes her faceplant*
Akiko: You okay?
Saipuu: This is nothing! *pulls the snakes off*
Kanako: Nadeko, we won’t let you stay abreast of Zettai!
Personally being “abutt” would be better...
Nadeko: You stay away from this, Zettai-oniichan! *ties Zettai’s legs with snakes*
Silly, my hands are free! *starts blogging*
Head
Hair
Nadeko’s hair is a really dark shade of brown, often appearing to be black. It’s colored lime green in her Baketc OP for some reason, and in Nadeko Medusa her hair becomes white, but it’s also snakes. I mean, duh, look at the arc name. She always has the same hairstyle no matter what however, a beautiful bowl cut with perfect bangs. Well, less perfect when they’re snakes, but she tries. In Nisemonogatari she wears a hairband, but SHE PUSHES BACK HER BANGS, NOOOOOOO! First Akiko and now her, why do you hate bangs so much. Thankfully good taste wins and she’s back to her bangs by Second Season. Not by long, however, as Tsukihi is possessed by Nisio Isin and cuts her bangs off, but thankfully only a little. Just enough so she can’t hide her face, which awakens ANGRY NADEKO! See, she was using her bangs to hide her face and avoid problems, but now she can’t do that. In fact Nadeko is very protective of her hair, more so than of her panties apparently. I agree, girls with hair and without panties are better than the opposite. Finally, when her hair is snakes she uses them for a variety of things, like armlets or string play. They bite too. Lovely.
Grade: A-
Eyes
Normally her eyes are brown, which is the best “real” color by far. It matches her hair perfectly and looks beautiful in general. The shape is more of a tsurime, but not too curved and suits her sweet appearance pretty well. She is never seen wearing glasses, unfortunately. In the aforementioned OP her eyes are more orange, which isn’t bad either, though it’s a rare color. But the best part is when she becomes Nadeko Medusa and her eyes are RED! Not only that, but she tends to keep them half-closed for a sexy tsurime appearance. Her eyes are nearly perfect in there. Sadly she doesn’t keep them forever and we don’t see them with her normal hair, unfortunate!
Grade: A
Body
Build
Nadeko is just right. Her height is 153 cm which is barely into my ideal and she weights about 38 kg, so standard for anime girls her age. Okay, MS Calculator yells at me while saying her BMI is about 16.23, but Nisio Isin is an arts person. And a show-off. Either way Nadeko has pretty much the ideal loli body, looking flat and beautiful while still having some feminine shape, pretty much perfect for me. Her chest is the ideal size and her thighs aren’t too bad for a loli, with her stomach being flat and beautiful. She even has cute feet because Shinbou. Seriously, her only problems are how much she dislikes showing her body off and her lower body could be a little thicker. And also a lack of measurements, that sucks too.
Grade: A
Butt
Quite literally Nadeko’s only flaw. Still, she tries her darndest at this. She gets quite a few good buttshots in her debut series and also in the second season, and she wears a sukumizu and buruma in the former that are tight on the butt. Her ass also looks nice for a loli. There was also the time she seemed to go nopan. Shame we didn’t get to see her play Twister with Koyomi, if she “accidentally” pushed her ass on his face or a similar naughty thing she’d score much better here!
Grade: C+
Clothes
Unfortunately Nadeko’s regular costumes are fairly conservative, preferring to wear jeans and overalls and stuff that cover her body. Her hat in her first appearance is cute at least. She also hates wearing socks and apparently legwear in general, HERESY. That said she acts differently in the infamous Nisemonogatari, where she wears skirts and WHITE THIGHHIGHS and possibly no panties as she took my joke earlier seriously, all to cater to her beloved Koyomi. Her school uniform is a light lime green shirt with a brown-ish skirt that also serves as a waistband of sorts and a brown-ish and red scarf, nothing special but cute. In a later story she wears a pink nightgown, pretty nice. Of course this can’t go without mentioning her two star outfits: Her blue buruma with nothing else because plot and the SCHOOL SWIMSUIT. Both appear in her debut arc and both are beloved by the fandom and the main character alike. There’s even a cute official image of her with the sukumizu AND the cute hat! Lastly as a snake deity she wears a simple white dress and nothing more. It’s a magical dress because when she stops being a snake deity she’s back to wearing her school uniform. Even though she was wearing something else when she transformed. NISIO ISIN!
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality
Nadeko is the childhood friend of Karen and Tsukihi, the brocom little sisters of Koyomi the main guy. She always treated him like an older brother, but when the story starts they haven’t seen each other in 6 years. Now she’s back as she rejected the love confession of a classmate and he cursed her to be squeezed by an invisisnake unless he stabs a lot of white snakes to trees in the Shirahebi shrine. Shirahebi is white snake, foreshadowing! After a lot of infamously sexy struggling from Nadeko’s part Koyomi gets rid of the snake, but the truth is she had a SECOND snake! They must have been the twin snakes, rimshot. In Nisemonogatari, the book Nisio Isin never ever wanted to publish because it showed he had crappy fetishes, she acts and dresses differently to attract Koyomi. Sneaky like a snake.
But her importance finally blooms in the Nadeko Medusa arc, where Kushinada the white snake tells her to burn things, but only if it’s needed to find his body. At the same time Nadeko is bogged down by pressure from her incompetent teacher that wants HER to keep her middle school class in check because they all cursed each other and can’t forgive and forget, but she avoids doing things by hiding her face with her cute bangs. That somehow angers Tsukihi and cuts her bangs as Nisio Isin gets off barber shops and disallows Nadeko from hiding her face, so she ends venting her much-deserved anger in an epic scene where she scolds her utterly incompetent teacher and classmates. I am not biased. Eventually she finds the snake’s body as a paper talisman on Koyomi’s room, but he finds her, she freaks out and eats it because she is now GT Gokuh. That makes her become a snake deity herself because if you eat a god you become a god and that’s totally how it works, though it’s also revealed that the voice of Kushinada was all in her head because that works perfectly with how all the events were portrayed. As a snake deity she totally kicks Koyomi and his loli-vampire sidekick’s asses, but she decides to go to the Shirahebi Shrine and when graduation comes she’ll kill them all, unfortunately Tsubasa and Suruga too. She’s the final boss, goodness. Sadly Hitagi, Koyomi’s rude girlfriend, decides she doesn’t really want to die and gets Kaiki, the man who gave Nadeko one of the snake curses, to get rid of her by all means necessary. Kaiki’s great plan is befriending Nadeko and possibly getting her drunk too so he can tell her Koyomi and the gang died in a car accident. Of course it fails because Nadeko is a middle school girl but isn’t stupid; Kaiki thinks he’s a good prankster because his name sounds kinda like Klefki, but he lacks the swag. Much like Klefki he can open doors however, and so he found Nadeko’s greatest secret: She was drawing a manga in her free time; by the description she was doing Kimagure Orange Road. Nadeko freaks out so much she casts Unlimited Snakes Works, but various bullshit things happen and she gets the snake deity pulled out and Koyomi gets told to never get near her so she can get past her obsession with him. Her other, actually related brocom sisters are fine. Apparently Nadeko spends some time on the hospital but nothing wrong.
Nadeko is a classic case of a character that is more than they appear, as going from her debut you’d think she’s just a cute loli imouto, and even with Nisemonogatari she’s a cute loli imouto with a naughty side. It’s only the latter arcs that let her true sneaky personality show, but honestly I think it’s for the best, as “evil” cunning crafty crazy angry sadistic Nadeko is so much better than shy sweet Nadeko, and hey, she still IS somewhat shy and sweet. Truly a perfect “villainous” loli! Shame in-universe she’s unpopular, given pretty much anyone who isn’t Koyomi and Suruga the loli-loving duo has never anything positive at all to say about her. Fine when Hitagi does it a she’s a jerk, but still. Or maybe I just have screwed-up tastes. As an extra, Nadeko lists at the beginning of Nadeko Medusa her preferences in various things and she includes retro games, so go her for that. Maybe she could befriend Neptune from Hyperdimensional Neptunia and play Golden Axe or whatever with her, assuming Neptune could stop saying Nadeko sounds like Pururut of course.
Grade: A+
Libido
High. Really high. At first she looks cute and sweet and shy but Nisemonogatari shows just how naughty and manipulative she can be in this regard, which is awesome. Sadly on later arcs she becomes a yandere and not the awesome one that gives massive text walls of perfect lives with the guy that have as much text as 20 Bleach chapters, but rather the one that would kill the guy if she can’t be with the guy. She still loves the guy though, which keeps her score decent. It’s complicated, let’s leave it at that. Oh, and of course the guy is her brother, not really. She’s only a childhood friend of him or rather his sisters, but she always calls him “Koyomi-oniichan” and she’s considered a little sister character, so it still has imouto appeal. Her big secret of a manga she’s drawing that is quite pervy helps too. And of course we can’t forget her sorta dommy angry rampage; no doubt it catered to the masochistic pleasure of some!
Grade: A
Age
Being a second year middle student Nadeko is 13-14, and thus perfect for my tastes. She became a non-aging deity for a while, but she got better.
Grade: A+
Voice
Kana Hanazawa has a great cute voice, and this might just be my favorite role of her by two reasons. First Nadeko was the one who awakened my love of her voice thanks to her Ren’ai Circulation OP, so cute! The second is her legendary ANGRY scene in the second season, which showed KanaHana is not just a moe girl VA and can sound tough and dommy and sexy if she wants. Sure, it wasn’t her first role like this, for example Mahiro from Kamisama Dolls also did that, but Nadeko is probably her most famous example and it sticks out from how different is from her standard voice. She also calls the lead character “Oniichan” like other girls this month, but she attaches it to his name for “Koyomi-oniichan” which is cute as well. She also lacks unique speech patterns. Of note is Kana Hanazawa said during the recording of the first season she wanted to do an evil character, which might be why later books turned out the way they did.
Grade: A+
Total: 94 (A-)
Nadeko: Your highest score so far, second if counting your guest blogs? Nadeko feels honored, Zettai-oniichan! Now you’re even more desirable!
As awesome as that sounds, I have a blog to do. And Chiaki and Katja would be sad. Maybe.
Nadeko: But you’re Nadeko’s only Oniichan in the universe!
Then, well... *gets an idea* How about you challenge the three imoutos that came to help to something? If you win I’ll be yours, if they win you leave.
Nadeko: And if there’s a tie?
In that case we’ll flip a non-Figaro coin.
Nadeko: Okay then! You imoutrio, this will be a challenge to butt su- Wait, that was last year. Rather Nadeko challenges you to Smash Bros. if you dare!
Imoutrio: Yes!
Nadeko: Alright then, let’s go! *drags Zettai to where Chiaki and Katja are playing*
Katja: Hah, I win again!
Chiaki: Stop picking Meta Knight!
Nadeko: Hey, we need that game now, so get away please. Shoo!
Chiaki: Not fair… *gets away with Katja*
Nadeko: Now let’s play! *picks Snake and sets a 1-vs.-3 with her as the 1, and 1 stock*
Akiko: Let’s-a go! *picks Mario*
Saipuu: You’re confident, but we won’t lose! *picks Ness*
Kanako: … *silently picks Ike*
Nadeko: Of course, Nadeko picks the stage. *chooses a custom stage*
Hey, that stage wasn’t in there before!
Nadeko: Of course, Zettai-oniichan, because Nadeko did it!
…The implications…*the scenario loads and this music plays*
Nadeko: Let’s go! *Snake chucks a grenade at Mario and dashes off*
Akiko: Silly Nadeko, you forgot to take the pin off! *grenade blows* Hey!
Kanako: …*silently Ike drops from above, but Snake hits first and sends it away*
Saipuu: Leave this to me! *Ness hits Snake from afar with a PK Thunder, but that allows Snake to reach Ness and kicks him off as well* …Nadeko’s… good…
Nadeko: Of course! Nadeko prefers classic games, but is good at newfangled ones as well! *Snake digs AND DIGS AND DIGS and hides a mine in the ground, then dashes away, hits Mario and punch-punch-kicks him at the mine*
Akiko: MARIO, NO! *Mario hits the mine and flies off, barely coming back* Mamma mia!
Saipuu: Wait, is that…? *notices a Poké Ball on the floor, so Ness grabs it and throws it at Snake, but he quickly jumps and grabs it mid-air, then flings it back at Ness. Luckily for Saipuu Goldeen pops out, so the only damage is from being thrown a metal ball at the head*
Kanako: … *silently Ike tries to fight Snake up-close, and while dealing some damage Ike ends flying off, Kanako uses the side-B by accident and dies* Hooray.
Akiko: How could you! *Mario flings fireballs at Snake from afar, but he dodges most of them*
Saipuu: A hole! *Ness grabs a Home Run Bat and tries to send Snake away, but he feints at the last second and Ness also ends flying off the stage from a Smash for his efforts*
Akiko: This is hopeless…
No, Akiko, don’t give up! Do it for me!
Akiko: Oniichan praised me! *puts on her glasses and Mario runs towards Snake*
Nadeko: Silly! *Snake runs towards Mario, but suddenly trips* Eh?
Now, Akiko!
Saipuu: Finish him!
Kanako: Go, Akiko, go.
Akiko: Bye bye! *quickly throws Snake a smash that sends him flying off, if barely*
Nadeko: SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAI! *passes off after the scream and returns to her regular self*
Congrats, Akiko! *the snake disappears and stands up* And congrats to Saipuu and Kanako as well, it was a group effort! You are super player imoutos!
Imoutrio: *all three hug Zettai*
Nadeko: Hmm… *slowly wakes up* What happened? Nadeko remembers a busty woman gave me a talisman and when she touched it… Uuuhh… It’s all hazy.
Don’t worry, Nadeko, it’s all over now. My imoutos, could you take Nadeko to a safe place?
Imoutrio: Yes! *all three guide Nadeko away*
Phew, now the token archvillain is gone I can rest…
Katja: I said we’d take a walk! *puts the leash on Zettai*
Chiaki: And you readers, next week will be Game Girl Week because April Fools doesn’t exist on Spain yet Zettai wanted something special! Look forward to it!
Chiaki: Zettai, have you noticed we haven’t left the house in two months?
And what two months they’ve been!
Katja: Shut up, dog. I’m taking you for a walk.
Yes, mistress! But first, let me check if there’s anyone outside! *opens the door to reveal a beautiful middle school girl whose face is slightly covered by her bangs*
Girl: Oh… Thanks for opening the door… *the girl looks upward slightly to reveal her face*
You… You are…
Nadeko: Glad you remember Nadeko, Zettai-oniichan! *jump-tackles Zettai for a hug*
Chiaki: Another imouto in the imouto month, how surprising.
Katja: Hey, what about our walk? I had the leash ready!
Sorry, but it’ll have to wait a bit, Mistress Katja… What do you want, Nadeko?
Nadeko: Of course, Nadeko wants your body, Zettai-oniichan… *throws her usual jacket and jeans costume away to reveal a gym uniform with red bloomers* And Nadeko won’t accept a no for an answer…
H-Hey! This is great, but not in front of blog readers!
Nadeko: All safe, then… *bites Zettai’s neck seductively*
Chiaki: !
Katja: !

Chiaki: I should stop this, but…
Katja: Chiaki, maybe we should go play some Smash Bros. and leave these two alone.
Chiaki: Ooh, I’m Kirby! *both girls leave*

Akiko: Owie…
Kanako: It hurts…
Saipuu: How dare you! *jumps at Nadeko, but she holds her legs with snakes and makes her faceplant*

Fine when Hitagi does it a she’s a jerk, but still. Or maybe I just have screwed-up tastes. As an extra, Nadeko lists at the beginning of Nadeko Medusa her preferences in various things and she includes retro games, so go her for that. Maybe she could befriend Neptune from Hyperdimensional Neptunia and play Golden Axe or whatever with her, assuming Neptune could stop saying Nadeko sounds like Pururut of course.
Grade: A+
Libido
High. Really high. At first she looks cute and sweet and shy but Nisemonogatari shows just how naughty and manipulative she can be in this regard, which is awesome. Sadly on later arcs she becomes a yandere and not the awesome one that gives massive text walls of perfect lives with the guy that have as much text as 20 Bleach chapters, but rather the one that would kill the guy if she can’t be with the guy. She still loves the guy though, which keeps her score decent. It’s complicated, let’s leave it at that. Oh, and of course the guy is her brother, not really. She’s only a childhood friend of him or rather his sisters, but she always calls him “Koyomi-oniichan” and she’s considered a little sister character, so it still has imouto appeal. Her big secret of a manga she’s drawing that is quite pervy helps too. And of course we can’t forget her sorta dommy angry rampage; no doubt it catered to the masochistic pleasure of some!
Grade: A
Age
Being a second year middle student Nadeko is 13-14, and thus perfect for my tastes. She became a non-aging deity for a while, but she got better.
Grade: A+
Voice
Kana Hanazawa has a great cute voice, and this might just be my favorite role of her by two reasons. First Nadeko was the one who awakened my love of her voice thanks to her Ren’ai Circulation OP, so cute! The second is her legendary ANGRY scene in the second season, which showed KanaHana is not just a moe girl VA and can sound tough and dommy and sexy if she wants. Sure, it wasn’t her first role like this, for example Mahiro from Kamisama Dolls also did that, but Nadeko is probably her most famous example and it sticks out from how different is from her standard voice. She also calls the lead character “Oniichan” like other girls this month, but she attaches it to his name for “Koyomi-oniichan” which is cute as well. She also lacks unique speech patterns. Of note is Kana Hanazawa said during the recording of the first season she wanted to do an evil character, which might be why later books turned out the way they did.
Grade: A+
Total: 94 (A-)
Nadeko: Your highest score so far, second if counting your guest blogs? Nadeko feels honored, Zettai-oniichan! Now you’re even more desirable!
As awesome as that sounds, I have a blog to do. And Chiaki and Katja would be sad. Maybe.
Nadeko: But you’re Nadeko’s only Oniichan in the universe!
Then, well... *gets an idea* How about you challenge the three imoutos that came to help to something? If you win I’ll be yours, if they win you leave.
Nadeko: And if there’s a tie?
In that case we’ll flip a non-Figaro coin.
Nadeko: Okay then! You imoutrio, this will be a challenge to butt su- Wait, that was last year. Rather Nadeko challenges you to Smash Bros. if you dare!
Imoutrio: Yes!
Nadeko: Alright then, let’s go! *drags Zettai to where Chiaki and Katja are playing*
Katja: Hah, I win again!
Chiaki: Stop picking Meta Knight!
Nadeko: Hey, we need that game now, so get away please. Shoo!
Chiaki: Not fair… *gets away with Katja*
Nadeko: Now let’s play! *picks Snake and sets a 1-vs.-3 with her as the 1, and 1 stock*
Akiko: Let’s-a go! *picks Mario*
Saipuu: You’re confident, but we won’t lose! *picks Ness*
Kanako: … *silently picks Ike*
Nadeko: Of course, Nadeko picks the stage. *chooses a custom stage*
Hey, that stage wasn’t in there before!
Nadeko: Of course, Zettai-oniichan, because Nadeko did it!
…The implications…*the scenario loads and this music plays*
Nadeko: Let’s go! *Snake chucks a grenade at Mario and dashes off*
Akiko: Silly Nadeko, you forgot to take the pin off! *grenade blows* Hey!
Kanako: …*silently Ike drops from above, but Snake hits first and sends it away*
Saipuu: Leave this to me! *Ness hits Snake from afar with a PK Thunder, but that allows Snake to reach Ness and kicks him off as well* …Nadeko’s… good…
Nadeko: Of course! Nadeko prefers classic games, but is good at newfangled ones as well! *Snake digs AND DIGS AND DIGS and hides a mine in the ground, then dashes away, hits Mario and punch-punch-kicks him at the mine*
Akiko: MARIO, NO! *Mario hits the mine and flies off, barely coming back* Mamma mia!
Saipuu: Wait, is that…? *notices a Poké Ball on the floor, so Ness grabs it and throws it at Snake, but he quickly jumps and grabs it mid-air, then flings it back at Ness. Luckily for Saipuu Goldeen pops out, so the only damage is from being thrown a metal ball at the head*
Kanako: … *silently Ike tries to fight Snake up-close, and while dealing some damage Ike ends flying off, Kanako uses the side-B by accident and dies* Hooray.
Akiko: How could you! *Mario flings fireballs at Snake from afar, but he dodges most of them*
Saipuu: A hole! *Ness grabs a Home Run Bat and tries to send Snake away, but he feints at the last second and Ness also ends flying off the stage from a Smash for his efforts*
Akiko: This is hopeless…
No, Akiko, don’t give up! Do it for me!
Akiko: Oniichan praised me! *puts on her glasses and Mario runs towards Snake*
Nadeko: Silly! *Snake runs towards Mario, but suddenly trips* Eh?
Now, Akiko!
Saipuu: Finish him!
Kanako: Go, Akiko, go.
Akiko: Bye bye! *quickly throws Snake a smash that sends him flying off, if barely*
Nadeko: SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAI! *passes off after the scream and returns to her regular self*
Congrats, Akiko! *the snake disappears and stands up* And congrats to Saipuu and Kanako as well, it was a group effort! You are super player imoutos!
Imoutrio: *all three hug Zettai*
Nadeko: Hmm… *slowly wakes up* What happened? Nadeko remembers a busty woman gave me a talisman and when she touched it… Uuuhh… It’s all hazy.
Don’t worry, Nadeko, it’s all over now. My imoutos, could you take Nadeko to a safe place?
Imoutrio: Yes! *all three guide Nadeko away*
Phew, now the token archvillain is gone I can rest…
Katja: I said we’d take a walk! *puts the leash on Zettai*
Chiaki: And you readers, next week will be Game Girl Week because April Fools doesn’t exist on Spain yet Zettai wanted something special! Look forward to it!
