Prologue

—When did he fall in love with her?

It might have been after they first met. Together with them growing up, these feelings started to grow as well.

Three years ago, when Mikado and Kisa were second-years in middle school. Mikado had been taken to a high-society party by the head of the Kitamikado Family, snuck out, and walked around the storage of the same hotel in boredom. However, unlike when he was younger, he was alone now.

Mikado waited a bit, until the door t o the storage opened. Entering inside was Kisa, wearing a glamorous dress. She had her beautiful hair bound together, wearing high-heels. With her breath slightly out of rhythm, she closed the door behind her.

“Calling me out here…You know what would happen if someone saw us together. We’re not kids anymore.” Kisa puffed out her lips.

Just as she said, now that they had started to take responsibility as the successors of the two families, them meeting like this would create chaos in their respective followership. That’s why Mikado arranged a secret meeting here.

“You don’t like this?”

“I’m saying that this is troublesome.”

“Tell me honestly if you hate it or not. If it’s a bother, I’ll stop calling you.”

“……”

With Mikado asking, Kisa bit her lip. She grabbed the hem of her dress, clearly embarrassed.

“I-I don’t…”

“I wanted to meet you.”

Back in his second year of middle school, Mikado had been much more honest. Rather, he was allowed to say such things, so he did without hesitation. Hearing this, Kisa lowered her head even more.

“As if…I would hate this. You are the only one who allows me to be simply Kisa, not the successor of the Empress of Darkness.”

“…Thanks.”

“…Yeah.”

They took an awkward distance from each other, leaning against the wall with their backs. Mikado sighed.

“Recently, the pressure has gotten worse. On TV, only the news has been shown the past few weeks…”

“Does your family live in prison?”

“We’re a normal family. Just, the bookstore I would always visit to read manga closed down a while ago…Apparently he was arrested because he missed a traffic light, but it has to be my family’s doing.”

“Is their plan to raise a sheltered prince with no brain?” Kisa asked, doubting her ears.

“I doubt that’s it, but…”

“I’m sorry, let me correct myself. Are all parents of the Kitamikado Family people with no brain?”

“I really doubt that’s it!”

Kisa was probably the only person who could take such a rude stance towards Mikado. But, this missing restraint was exactly what made Mikado feel most comfortable.

“Should I help the store owner break out of jail? Though some innocent people might die in the process, there’s no problem, right?”

“There’s so many I lost count…”

“Then, I could hack the TV channel to show some manga images. That way you can read manga again, right?”

“No need to go that far. I’m not willing to risk my life for some manga.”

He just read them as a break between school and lessons at home. If he bought them to take them home, they were confiscated right away.

“I see…”

Seeing Kisa slightly dejected, Mikado found himself smiling.

“But, I’m happy for the sympathy. That really helps.”

“I-I’m not…I was just worried that your head might get worse, which would leave us unable to hold a proper conversation.”

“That is some awful worry!”

“You know, if things continued, you might just go eat furniture. What happens if you bite on some electrical cord?”

“What kind of animal am I to you?!”

Mikado knew very well that she was just hiding her bashfulness through this. Kisa had always been bad at openly conveying her feelings. Maybe because the world she was raised in would not allow her to show any weakness.

“That reminds me, I heard there was some organization that smuggled drugs from overseas, which just got annihilated. They had hints on them, but they suddenly vanished…was that the Nanjou Family’s doing?”

“These kids were getting on their high horse, so we took care of them.”

“…So you killed them.”

“My, we would never.” Kisa put her hands together with a kind smile. “You know that a person’s life is worth more than 30 million yen? It would be a waste to turn them into burned trash. Since they were all jankies, their organs didn’t have much worth, but they’ll be working at a black company for the rest of their lives.”

“That’s way too black! Just finish them off clean then!”

“I could never do something cruel as that.”

“I feel like both ways here are plenty cruel…”

“In order to have them feel the joy of working to their hardest, we gave them a salary raise. If they continue to work for ten years, their annual income goes up by 5000 yen!”

“That doesn’t sound very effective to me.”

“But, it can’t be helped. They were working on their own, away from the Nanjou Family. We have them show what happens if they work against us, right?”

“…………”

Unlike the innocent her in the past, she was now slowly being colored in the Nanjou Family’s way of life. She was slowly changing. Yet, Mikado’s feelings for her wouldn’t change.

“W-What? Did I say something weird?” Kisa grew flustered as Mikado went silent.

“…No, you’re not wrong.”

This is just the result of the Nanjou Family’s teachings. He had to change the people in charge, and have her soul cleansed. Suddenly, someone opened the door of the storage.

“Someone came!”

“Over here.”

Mikado pulled Kisa deeper inside. They crouched down to sneak around, but Kisa lost her balance. Mikado stopped her with an embrace. Having grown severely, Kisa’s body felt soft, and unbelievably white. A sweet scent came from her, and her dress together, as her earlobes were painted in a faint red.

“M-Mika…”

“…Quiet.”

Mikado pressed the palm of his hand on Kisa’s lips. At the same time as he felt his heartbeat accelerate, he wished for her to feel the same.

The door closed, and the sound of footsteps grew distant. The two were alone again.

“If only we hadn’t been enemies…”

“W-What do you mean by that?”

Without responding, Mikado separated his body from Kisa. Her beet red face made his chest hurt. He couldn’t directly look at her face. After all, their families wouldn’t allow them. Kisa’s existence would drift further and further away from him. The pain of not being able to be together weighted down on his heart.

“Maybe we shouldn’t be meeting anymore.”

“Eh……” Kisa’s shoulders shook.

Let’s give up. About trying to walk next to Kisa, who would control the darkness, as Mikado, who would control the light. That’s what he thought.

But, in the fall of his first year in high school. She appeared inside the classroom of Sousei Academy.

“I’ve transferred today. My name is Nanjou Kisa. Please treat me well, my future slaves. And, Kitamikado-san…your normal daily life will come to an end today, okay?”

She gave an awful first impression, as she stood next to the teacher’s pult. Yet, her beauty didn’t change the past three years. Rather, it only went up. Mikado had no idea why she had appeared out of the blue, nor what she was about to do back then.

It was around half a year until the start of the love game.
