Looks like MyAnimeList’s coding won’t be showing images for a while, as the last entry showed.




-Guardian isn’t getting as much help as they wanted in Kazamatsuri because Gaia made the other countries believe that they’re the ones with the Key. So it’ll be hard for them to fight Gaia with so few people.

-Nishikujou and Shizuru talk about how it’s better to be ahead (except for Rock, Paper, Scissors) and when asked where Lucia is, Shizuru says that Lucia is ahead of her. In life, I suppose.

-Nervous and embarrassed as hell, Lucia is pretending to be looking for and trying to shake off Shizuru, who’s not even stalking our date.

-Lucia keeps asking to hear me say that I won’t leave her alone ever, pretty much a confession.


-Lucia kind of volunteered to come over and cook, in the cosplay outfit. She thought it required wearing as she was going to my house too. Oh god. And yes, cosplay outside of Halloween, parties and conventions is awkward.

-Nooooooooo, she researched the costume and bought the H-game! And she knows it’s an H-game!

-So what Shizuru meant earlier about being ahead is of Shizuru and Lucia’s promise to get boyfriends at the same time.

-Lucia’s voice sounds totally different when she’s being cute versus being angry. Like a different person entirely.

-First date and Lucia wants to hold hands Man, compare that to me (as in waffo me) who took months for that to happen. Even Lucia is better at this than me!


-Whoooooooa! The gloves come off!

-While giving a lecture on different types of make-up, she admits she doesn’t really know much about it herself. But...then she’s wearing a little to impress me.


-For the first time, I see a character (myself) spew out so much information that the dialogue box itself has to scroll to fit it all. All for a fighting game character I like...

-I’ve never heard of a bath bomb. I kind of wanna try it.

-...As Lucia recalls her mishap with making a bath bomb for Shizuru, causing things such as her smelling too strong and her underwear turning pink, Kotarou comments on how pure white is supreme. Her response?


-Lucia also has the ability to make vibrations of a sort out of her hands, an ability that hampered her ability to even wear a watch or it’d break.

-Ah, that’s how she broke the glass so often!

-Her main weapon is a sword. It fits her image. Guns would be weird with her.

-Kotarou has been following Lucia’s dream of a first date, thanks to Shizuru, ending with a confession at a skytop restaurant in the mall and first kisses.

-Ouch, Lucia finds her dead phone missed three texts and twelve calls. I knew it’d end badly. Nishikujou texted saying that Shizuru collapsed. It’s suspected that Lucia’s poison may be the underlying cause so they check me out too.

-Shizuru’s body can produce drugs at will so I guess she’s been making antibiotics or something against Lucia’s.

-The medicine Lucia takes doesn’t decrease the amount of poison she makes, just breaks it down in her own body instead but apparently, it’s not perfect and a small amount has always been leaking out. This caused Shizuru, the only person really in contact with her, to suddenly be affected. Her drugs she produced only resisted it, not neutralized it. So it’s been building up to the point where she now collapsed.

-I have a feeling Lucia will now stay away from me because she’ll fear the same thing happening to me, even though rewriting is different from Shizuru’s resisting.

-More explanations on Lucia’s body. Her body is made to accept the world and its poison 1000 years from now so the world now is poisonous to her. That’s why her body produces the poison, because it’s what her body is accustomed to. And thanks to brainwashing her when she was young, she has to believe that the world will end in 1000 years or she’ll find herself with no purpose in living.

-As I expected, Lucia told me over the phone that she’s afraid of holding my hand now.

-There are reports all over the city of large animals attacking and killing people. Familiars, I assume. All of the victims were Guardian agents and they’ve now lost 30% of their manpower.

-In Lucia’s room to get her phone charger, Kotarou ends up encountering one of the dog familiars. Since this is his first fight in this route, does that mean he’ll finally learn about his aurora?

-Ah, guess not. Nishikujou showed up with a handgun and got it to back off and flee.

-Lucia’s medicine has been perfect but it’s just not as effective for Lucia anymore so it’s unknown how long she’ll be kept in isolation. And the doctors have discovered that the suppressants now have no effect on her.


-Stupid scientists rambled about how afraid of Lucia they are with the mic on and now she’s angry and saddened.

-Oh god, someone appears at the window to Lucia’s room. It’s a woman Lucia knows very well, who was deeply involved in the Next Generation Humanity Project. I thought they were all killed off by Guardian.

-Brenda, the second in command of the project, brings her to a nuclear shelter from the Cold War where the Japanese had built a cryogenic storage unit.

-Lucia admits to herself that though Kotarou cares for her, swore to stay by her side and did so much to help her, he doesn’t need her for anything while she does. And being needed is a big thing for Lucia, who basically felt like she never belonged and had no purpose in living in the present.

-Live continues and Kotarou’s been going to school for a while now. The Harvest Festival is coming up. Lucia remains absent and there is no news of her location. Kotori’s tired and sighing a lot. Chihaya is worried the most about Lucia, The rest don’t really care since it’s been so long now.

-Thanks to more fighting in Guardian, the Vatican is planning to blow Kazamatsuri off the face of the earth with a nuclear missle to ensure the Key’s destruction. Nishikujou figured this out with the help of a CIA friend hopefully in time. She also figured out that Lucia must be in the nuclear shelter near Kazamatsuri.

-School ends and the week of the Harvest Festival starts. Kotarou leaves school, feeling so lonely and suddenly sees Lucia, who’s just as happy to see him as he is to see her. Odd, she says that she’s been at a different hospital that created a new, better medicine so she doesn’t even need gloves now.

-Ew, I hate Brenda’s voice. I hope she dies in the attack from Nishikujou’s group.

-Lucia can’t taste anything. That utterly sucks. She has to use her imagination.

-Oh, she can’t smell, either. The purfume she wore at the mall was one Shizuru chose for her. God, I’d hate not being able to taste and smell.


-And her sense of pain sucked back then too. I can’t imagine living in such a fog!

-While waiting for the parfait, Lucia gets too tired and wants fresh air. I have a feeling this “suppressant” is getting rid of her poison that she technically needs to adapt. Either that or she’s not on any suppressant at all and Brenda is trying to cause chaos. Why else would she suddenly get some sense of taste and smell back?

-Sounds like this is her last day before being frozen and sent to the future, with the way she’s savoring everything. So I tell her I’ll go to the future with her. I kind of expected that.


-Shizuru’s in the shelter, imitating the Matrix. Pretty good for someone not 100% recovered yet. That’s her advantage of her drug cocktails, I guess. She’s here without Nishikujou’s permission because...she’s bored.

-Shizuru’s scary. She’s threatening to torture Brenda with mental experiences of horrible pain.

-Lucia rejects Kotarou’s wish to go to the future with her because he can live without her. She then goes to a phone booth that’s ringing and talks to someone very cultish-style.

-She asks me to come with her a short distance. ...and then a vocal version of one of the BGMs plays.


-She says she still loves sunflowers and finally touches one, remembering how rough they are.

-The one she touches dies and she bids farewell to me.


-Aw, knew it was too good to be true. The kind of happy, hopeful music doesn’t really fit, though.

-All of the sunflowers die. Then the trees. Birds fall from the sky. And even I black out. Wait, wasn’t I immune to her poison? Was she holding it all in as much as she could until that moment?

-The poison must be different so when I wake up on a bench in the park half a day later, I rewrite myself to accept the new stuff. Chihaya is nearby and is surprised how well I’m doing. She says many people are lying dead around us. Ugh, bet this is the big disaster Gaia’s been planning. They must’ve been the supporters for Brenda’s project.

-Chihaya wonders what I am and I, as usual, just say my full name and a silly description. Chihaya says she’s fine because she’s “not normal”.

-Kotarou is horrified by the bodies of pedestrians and children everywhere.

-Chihaya says that the news reported Gaia, a “terrorist” organization, is to blame and she says it’s a lie.

-I got a missed call from Nishikujou so I call back and she comes to pick us up in a helicopter. Naturally, she and everyone in the helicopters are gowned up for protection.

-All of Guardian present point their guns at Chihaya. After I tell them that she helped me and break up the fight, Shizuru and Nishikujou apologize. Chihaya doesn’t understand the different factions in Guardian so she blamed them all at first. But the tension is breaking a bit.

-100,000 deaths, expected to surpass 9/11, huh? Didn’t expect a mention of that here.

-Damn, so it was Guardian higher-ups who funded Brenda so they could have a good weapon against the Key. Idiots. So the project never ended. And what Brenda gave Lucia is something that magnified her poison for this attack.

-After knowing the truth, Chihaya thankfully doesn’t blame Lucia at all. She confirms with Shizuru and Nishikujou that they want to find Lucia so she can expose the project and help her, not silence her.


-Brenda demonstrates how she’s a freaking monster with no morals whatsoever. Whoever she’s talking to on the phone says that the Key, Gaia and the power spots have been destroyed. Eh, I think if Chihaya survived, it’s not that easy to kill Gaia. Though I seriously hope Kotori is okay...

-Lucia is in the mall, waiting for the missle. She finally checks her phone and is bombarded by the sheer amount of texts Kotarou had sent her. She calls him and asks for the why she exists but Kotarou doesn’t give her a satisfactory answer and resigns herself to death, comparing herself to the Key that she herself destroyed.

-The reason Chihaya isn’t affected by the poison is because Sakuya gave her that protective ribbon/bandage (the one I got in her route) right before collapsing. Kotarou finally explains how he’s able to resist her poison, with his Rewriting ability.

-In the mall, I find Lucia by herself. She’s pretty resigned to her death. She picks at my words and says that I’m telling her she has no meaning unless she stops producing poison. She then says that she’s back to being Asahi Haruka and that it seems that while Kotarou wants Lucia, he doesn’t want Haruka and she has no purpose. And then she pulls out a sword.

-Lucia leaves for the top floor to see her last sunrise. I follow after and then a huge chandelier falls down on me, thanks to her. Chihaya protects me with her abnormal strength and Shizuru shows up as well. They’re determined to rescue her, by force as it seems.




-Chihaya tries to get the chandelier off while Lucia with her sword fights Shizuru and her knives. When Lucia slips, Shizuru switches to two revolves, which she fires like a machine gun. Wow. And the fight continues.

-In the middle of the clash, Shizuru tells Lucia it isn’t a miraculous coincidence that I can resist her poison but that I wanted to change my own body to accept her.

-...Lucia cuts a huge gash on Shizuru and, after I catch her, she convinces me she can heal from it with time and to catch up with Lucia. Hm, can she really heal from that or is she going to die?

-Chihaya holds onto Lucia and tells her she’s spoiled. She thinks she’s the most unfortunate, which is fairly true and yet everyone accepts her past and she has Kotarou to stay by her side. Chihaya sees a lot of herself in her and can’t stand it.

-Ah damn, Chihaya’s protection does little against direct skin contact with Lucia. She collapses, foaming at the mouth and, to Lucia, she looks dead. She’s still conscious though and will recover eventually.

-On the roof, Lucia threatens Kotarou with saying she’ll infect and destroy the world with her poison unless he kills her. He says that he hates cliches like that. He doesn’t know how she feels but she doesn’t know how he felt, either. He tells her he’s sick of hearing of the world ending, suppressants and so on and none of it matters to him.


-Lucia tries to cut him and he blocks with his arm. It stops cutting at his bone. Kotarou’s aurora makes its first appearance, gushing out of the wound and protecting him, and then eating away at Lucia’s sword. He tells her she can find her own meaning to her life or whatever but he wanted to save her because he wanted to. He wants her alive for himself.


-Kotarou’s “I love you” has finished recharging and he says it to her again. He tells her he said too much about poison and should’ve said his feelings earlier. These words finally do affect her and she cries.

-Nishikujou interrupts in her helicopter to rescue us all.

-One year later, and Kazamatsuri is still off-limits. A bunch of people from the Vatican left, most likely from Guardian Japan’s findings on the project and its support. Brenda and her gang are unfortunately still MIA.

-Nishikujou has been spending (blackmail) money from Guardian to move Kotarou and Lucia around. Currently, they’re apparently in Florida...with a pool. Nice. Of course, these shelters they’re moving to are all underground but generally pretty nice. Simulated sunlight, high-speed internet, fitness machines, and game consoles from Shizuru. They haven’t had luck finding a good suppressant, even with Kotarou’s cooperation and samples, but he’s happy as long as he’s with her.

-Shizuru’s busy investigating a rumor of a druid in Kazamatsuri (...Kotori?) and rumors of new Keys popping up all over the place, though they’re duds.

-The route ends with Kotarou showing Lucia their new shelter for the next few weeks. He leads her, eyes closed, into a field of sort-of preserved but real sunflowers.

-The epilogue has Kotarou think about the anguish Lucia, who was kind of the Key in Kazamatsuri, felt for all the deaths she caused. He hopes that a Key never has to go the route of causing the deaths of all of humanity so it wouldn’t have to feel that pain. He hopes that the world is good by then so it never happens.


And that’s the end of Lucia’s route! Honestly, I’m surprised to finish a Key route that didn’t make me cry at all. I mean, I felt bad for her and there were some shocking moments but no tears. Well, next up is Shizuru. Maybe I’ll understand why so many people love her route and why the heck she has heterochromia.
