Chapter 807: Splat!

Standing in front of her were four people, two girls, and two guys. Kana pursed her lips. She had no idea what was going on. She just wanted to go back to her house and sleep. The sun was already starting to set, so the light was casting an orange hue over the rooftop. Kana looked at the four people and asked: "You all called me here?"

"Yes…." Sam was the first to step forward. She clenched her fist as she turned and looked back at the others, who all smiled and nodded at her. "We all, ever since we met you, have all come to understand many things about ourselves. Many things we never thought we would actually come to terms with. And the one who made us realize all of this was no one else but you, Kana…." 

As Sam spoke, Kana tilted her head to the side, trying to understand just what she did to be told she helped others. She ate…. She slept…. She had naughty dreams about her handsome husband…. She ate some more….. And slept some more….  Which led to more naughty dreams about her handsome husband. She tried to avoid any events that might turn her into a  love interest, but no matter what she did, those meters kept climbing on their own. One thing she was sure of, though, was that she never helped a single person in this game but herself. 

"Hehe…. " Sam giggled at Kana"s confused expression. "It seems you did not even realize it yourself. But you really changed us for the better. I, for one, am no longer trying to hide my true self. I am not afraid to show my admiration and love for the person I hold dear most."

Erica quickly stepped forward and stood next to Sam. "And I am the same. I am also able to stand here like this now all thanks to you, Kana."

"As the girls said, we owe you so much. You have done something I never thought was possible." Jeff said as he also stepped forward while flicking his hair.

"It"s not like we owe you or anything, you hear?" Jason said while standing there with his arms crossed across his chest, looking in a different direction with red ears.  The other three looked at him and smiled. 

Sam continued: "We all called you here for one reason and one reason only. Kana…." 

Everyone took a deep breath and, with bright smiles, yelled out: "Kana, we love you!"

"Umm, okay? But why did you call me here….." Kana did not understand why they were saying they loved her and not telling her why they called her here.

"Haha! So Kana like!" Erica said while laughing.

"Very much so." Sam wiped her tears as she stepped forward and took Kana"s hand: "Kana, we love you not as a friend but as a potential partner." 

"Ah!....." Beads of sweat began forming on Kana"s forehead as she looked at the four people expectantly awaiting her answer. To be honest, Kana really did not know how to respond. This was all very sudden. She just wanted the friends.h.i.+p route! Kana began to panic and wanted to run away, but she found that Sam"s hold of her hand was as if her hand was in between a vice grip, making it so she couldn"t run away.

"Kana…." Sam looked lovingly at Kana, her eyes filled with warmth. "We do not want to rush you into making a decision. Whether you wish to only be with one of us or all of us, we do not care. We have already decided we will all love you equally and work together to make you happy. And if…." Sam"s expression grew sad. "If you decide you do not like any of us, then we will stand by your side and help you from the sidelines…."

Kana"s eyes darted left and right as she looked for an escape route. She really did not know what she should do. She wanted the friends.h.i.+p ending! Not the harem one! She knew she could easily finish this game off by saying yes to them all but…. She couldn"t bring herself to do such a thing when she had her handsome husband. It would feel like she was cheating on him. Suddenly tears began rolling down Kana"s cheeks as she burst out crying. For the first time in a long time, she had been pushed into a corner with no way of figuring a way out. 

"What!? Kana!? It"s okay! We are sorry! We sprung this all on you so quickly. Come, let"s go home. We can talk about this later when you have thought more about it." Sam began to panic, as did the others. They all quickly ran forward and tried to pacify the crying Kana. 

Kana had no idea how she got back to her house. She sat in her room in a daze, trying to figure out how to do this without going against her own feelings. She, of course, felt nothing for those four love interests. She just could not bring herself to say she loved anyone besides her own family. Kana kicked the air above her as she looked up at her ceiling from her bed. "Is it possible to just get the friends ending? Hey system guy, can"t you give me a little hint?" 

"Unable to comply. Players must finish the game themselves." The robotic voice answered, causing Kana to frown. 

Kana ran through the list of good endings she could work towards from the menu list until one actually caught her eye. "Hmmm? Get the splat ending….  Have all characters in love with you and then splat….." 

"Splat? System, explain. What does splat mean?" Kana was very confused and just hoped it did not mean what she thought it meant.

"You off each one of them. But be careful. If you are caught, you will automatically get a bad end." The system replied, causing Kana"s brow to twitch as she thought: "Isn"t killing the entire cast after they said they loved you already a bad end?"
