You're honestly speechless. Just a second ago, you were staring at a very confused Hiroko Shimada, and now you're looking at two. Your plan to separate out the last two girls with the Burning Heart curse involved dressing up your brother as an exact duplicate of yourself. He would distract Hiroko while you cured Yui. Simple, right? With her problem solved, naturally you assumed Hiroko would be the easy part of all this. Now, you're not so sure.

The two Hirokos, identical in appearance and even clothing (the dress must be made of water as well), stare at you with devious, joyful grins. They spare a quick glance for Yuuki, himself a doppleganger for you, and they lick their lips in anticipation.

"Makoto, help." He whines, fearful of losing more than just his life tonight.

"Uh, right. Just... give me a second." You ask, quickly trying to salvage the plan in your head. As far as you can sense, Hiroko's heart seems to have split, or even duplicated. Like this, she might as well be two people. However their identical movements and speech indicate they still might share a brain. There must be a tether still connecting them somewhere.

Aside from that, now that you've had a moment to truly observe them, they appear to be smaller in stature. Not quite the 'loli' Hiroko you witnessed before, but definitely shorter. Perhaps they are feeding from something to add to their mass?

Your eyes dart towards the flap of the tent, towards the rest of the beach. Potentially, you still have Mai, Saito, and Cocoa to rely on, as well as Shizuko and Umeki, in the form of backup. Outnumbered for sure, but do you want to risk potentially splitting her further? You're not sure you could deal with four, or eight Hirokos.

"Ready~?" The two ask, lustful sentiment rich on their lips. A part of you wants to scream out 'yes' - after all, it's a threesome between two people, surely she'd approve? Well, foursome if Yuuki joined in, technically - but still only two people!

"Yeah!" You exclaim, throwing your hands up.

"NO!" Yuuki shouts back, angry with you. The Hirokos seem a little confused by the discord between the two of you. He leans up, flipping the Hirokos off of him, and crawls over to you on his knees. He's scuffling the dress, you think with a grumble before he pinches your ear.

"What do you think you're doing!?" He whispers in a high-pitch.

"Trust me, this'll work." You say back with a wink. You glance down at him and notice a difference. "Wait, are you male right now?"

"Hiroko... prefers this gender." Yuuki replies, scratching the back of his neck. "Knew we should have come as boys... wait, I'm getting off-track. I don't want your plan to work if it's going to work THAT way!" He continues his screeching whisper. You sigh.

"It's not 'that way'. But it's better to make her happy than angry right now, right?" You suggest. Yuuki opens his mouth to argue, but doesn't really have much to respond with, so he just seethes. "Of course, if it ends up like that- just let me handle it." You suggest, grinning.

"You-"

"Ladies!" You announce, clapping your hands together. The two are at attention before you, and creep a little closer. You half-expect them both to aim for you, but one lands a warm, smooth hand on you and the other seems to recognize that, and moves past you to caress Yuuki. You can feel her hand trace a line up your chest through the material of the dress; sapping the water from it that you used to clean.

...You really hope you cleaned up entirely.

Fearing for your brother's safety (safety of a different kind than health-wise), you quickly grab onto the other Hiroko's arm and pull her back into your grasp.

"H-Hey wait." You tell her, having both of the girls in your fold. "I appreciate the effort... uh, Hiroko, but I'm afraid this won't be enough." You say, shrugging.

"Won't be-"

"-enough?" The two ask, speaking consecutively.

"Uh, no- of course not!" You shout. You position your body closer to both of them, smiling warmly. "One Hiroko wouldn't be enough, and even two fall short. I'd need many more to satisfy my needs." You suggest. The two seem to consider your words for a second- then, they shudder. To your surprise, they split again; doubling the number of Hirokos in the room. Again, their sizes decrease with the added number; they're a full foot shorter than you now.

"MAKOTO!" Yuuki shouts at you.

"Bear with me." You urge him. The Hirokos glance back at Yuuki-Makoto, and he freezes in place.

"Uh, i-ignore me." He whimpers. Suddenly, they start to shudder again. Uh oh- they might be thinking that if one Makoto requires four, then two may require eight. You really will be in a sea of girls if this keeps up.

"Yesss~" The word escapes from your lips in anticipation. Yuuki watches on helplessly as the group of Hirokos shake violently, and suddenly split again. They tumble against each other, bumping into both of you and all into each other. Eight... eight Hirokos (ah-ah-ah!) now sit in the tent with Yuuki and yourself. By now their heights have been severely reduced- a little more and they may actually be a match for Yuuki after all. Despite that, you gaze over a sea of blinking eyes and bright smiles under soft, golden hair.

"So... your plan?" Yuuki asks, glaring at you over the heads of the girls.

"Bear... with me." You say, your eyes darting from one Hiroko to the next. They paw at your outfit, stroking gently. Damn, why did you make the material so thin?

"Oh screw your 'bear with me', Makoto! This is a disast-AH!" He flinches.

"What happened?"

"G-Get out of there!" He stutters, pulling a Hiroko out from under his dress. Little munchkins. You can feel a few of them nuzzling against your arms and legs. They're enveloping you, or trying to at least. You feel a strange buzzing and panic for a second- before you realize it's your phone. Hesitantly, you answer it.

"H-Hello?" You ask.

"Makoto, you shining example of beauty and grace..." Mai's voice chimes in over the phone. It pauses for a few seconds. "...NOT!" She adds. "Hehe, figured a way around it. Anyway, what's going on? Your tent is... uh, wriggling."

> No, everything is fine here. Just fine. How are you?
> Mai, I need more Makotos.
> I made eight.

>>43877521
>> Mai, I need more Makotos.
I am seeing the skeleton of a clever plan here, but I'm not sure what the details are yet.

So what exactly is our plan? Are we trying to find the Main clone or slime core?

>>43877521
>Mai, I need more Makotos.

>>43877649
...plan?

>>43877649
The more Hirokos the less power she has to do damage. Distract her enough and we should be able to overpower them one by one.

>>43877751
>>43877649
Well, I am thinking that the more clones there are, they'll be too weak individually to harm us.

>>43877649
I thought we were trying to make a sauna, let the multiplied heat of the Burning Hearts turn them all to steam.

>>43877827
>Sauna, filled with a groping mist...

>>43877851
Basically a lewd version of Makoto's 'awakening'?

>>43877649
More Hirokos means a more complicated web of tethers. Follow them all back to the main source, cure her, and we're done.

"Mai," you grunt, leaning your breasts over two Hirokos (they enjoy it), "I need help. I need more Makotos."

"More... of you?" She asks, clearly confused.

"Yeah, more copies of me. Get Shizuko and tell her to come over here in disguise. We're gonna need as many Makotos as we can get for this plan to work." You instruct her.

"Uh, alright. I don't quite get it, but if you're sure." She replies, before you hang up the call.

"You want more!?" Yuuki screeches, still holding down his dress as a few Hirokos crawl around him. One of them manages to her head underneath and causes him to start giggling. "Hehahe- NO, STOP IT!" He shouts, plucking her up by her arms. She hangs limply with a smile, then reaches her head forward and kisses him.

"Mff!" Yuuki grunts. You tug at your collar- not just because of the situation, but also due to the heat. The sheer amount of burning hearts is really doing a number on the ambient temperature. You feel a Hiroko sliding over your back, her body moist with what you mistake to be sweat, but then realize to be her body. You do NOT want to have to deal with an airborne Hiroko swarm.

"Makoto~" You hear one of them say, reaching up towards you. Her smaller face is framed lovingly in your view.

"Aw, you're ador-" You begin to say before another one jumps up in front of her, kissing at your cheek. "-ab... um, y-you too."

You feel another one squirm beneath your dress. "Ack- a-and you. Um, maybe this wasn't the best idea-" You say, just as the flap to the tent opens.

"Uh- hey." You hear Shizuko's voice. You turn your head and blink as you see another copy of yourself. Damn, she wasn't lying- her disguise of you is almost a match for Yuuki's!

"I mean- erg, hey." She corrects herself, doing a fairly decent impression of you.

"Shiz- I mean, Makoto, you came!" You say. Shizuko's jaw drops as she realizes the room she's looking at.

"What are you-"

"Tadaah!" You hear another voice chime in, pushing Shizuko forward. Mai is sitting ontop of her; donning a wig and similar dress to yours (but far more ostentatious). "The best Makoto has arrived~" She says, not really even doing your voice at all.

"Uh, hey- I didn't mean you needed to-" You say, just before you notice two more heads appear. Familiar heads.

"Oh my." Umeki, disguised as you, comments, peering in. Without powers, her disguise is probably the worst.

"Uhh." Saito, disguised as you, grunts. His... or rather hers, is fairly decent. You're not sure how you feel about only the female Saito being able to pass as you.

"Um, thanks for this, guys. But I don't know if... if..." You say, as you watch the four Makotos eyes widen. You glance back and see Yuuki shivering in response to the mass of Hirokos starting to shimmer.

>>43878343
Don't you see? The mini-roko's will evaporate the condense into a single cloud within the tent thereby raining out a single unconscious Hiroko

>>43878343
My thoughts on it were getting her to pass out from all the heat and controlling separate selves.

"Makoto, now would be a really good time to do... w-whatever it is you're planning to do!" Yuuki says, failing to keep the frisky Hirokos at bay.

"Uh, yeah, what plan is that?" Shizuko asks, still completely baffled. Umeki and Saito slowly shirk back as the Hiroko swarm continues to shimmer violently. You turn to them and smile.

"Trust me." You say. "Everything's going perfectly."

Then the tent explodes.

Or rather, the force of creating at least twenty-four Hirokos causes it to shoot off from its restraints. Mai, Shizuko, Saito, and Umeki are all hammered in the face by a Shizuko or two each, sending them flying back onto the sand. Yourself and Yuuki are slammed into the sides of the tent, but kept in the basic area. When you shake your head and your senses return, you find yourself covered in a veritable blanket of now-tiny Hirokos. You could hold one in each hand- two even, if you tried. They roll around on the ground, confused and exhausted themselves; each with a burning heart at their core. The combined act of splitting so many times and the heat produced by each is definitely taking a toll on them. Still, they seem to be conscious.

"Mak..." One whines.

"Makoto..." Another wheezes. You lean up and shake your head, feeling one of the tiny Hirokos slide out of your hair like gel.

Shun is terrible at being a lesbian. She likes cute boys too much.

You stare at the mass of Hirokos, lying exhausted on the sand, and have only one reaction.

"Aww, they're so cute~!" You exclaim, picking up at least three of them in your embrace. Despite their fatigued status, they still smile as you press them into your bust. Yuuki bursts out of a pile of them.

"Rnng, what the hell was that!?" He exclaims.

"My plan." You reply, proudly rubbing your breasts against a few. "I knew controlling a lot of water takes a toll on her, so naturally water clones must too. She was never going to rejoin if we just asked her, so I simply needed to get her to split over and over again until she reached her limit. Now, she's easy to cure."

"I... uh..." Yuuki seems flustered as he tries to respond. "...I guess that works."

"Worked!" You say, wrapping an arm around him and gesturing to the pile of chibi Hirokos. "Now I just need to... cure... each one." You say, losing your enthusiasm. Yuuki smirks.

"Perfect plan." He comments. You glare back at him. Eventually your other friends start to rise up again as well- and the rest of the party goers didn't really ignore that explosion of little girls either.

"Ugh, what happened?" Saito asks, rubbing her head. She pulls her hand back and watches a Hiroko slowly drop from it, tired. "What... the heck? This place looks like an elementary school."

"Let's not make this weird." You say, leering at him as you hug a few. Shizuko and Umeki glance around, their wigs askew and disguises in a tizzy. Mai looks pristine, somehow. You slowly rise up, wiping your dress down.

"Well, I guess you could call this a shower." Mai comments as she makes her way over to you, making sure not to step on any of the Hirokos.

"I already had one." You reply, looking around. "Do you think we could get a cooler or something to hold them in? I wouldn't want any of them, to overheat." You ask. Mai nods back.

"I think the crew should have one. It's an... unorthodox solution, but I'm glad it worked. Nice work." She comments.

"Heh, thanks." You say, nodding with your arms crossed proudly. Mai tilts her head.

"I think-"

"MAI!" An angry voice shouts out. Mai almost jumps out of her skin in shock as an angry man in shades approaches. You recall seeing him before, on her set.

"What the hell is this!?" He asks. "You drag some random person onto the stage, then bail from singing, and now you're turning the beach into some kind of kindergarden!?"

"Let's not make this weird!" You call out.

"I... I..." She mumbles, practically terrified.

"Ohh, lighten up." You say, throwing your arms around Mai and giving the jerk a big smile. "It's a party!" The man cringes slightly at your interjection.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" He asks, clearly trying to hide his irritation. He's not bad-looking; almost nerdy in a way with that more slender frame, but his face is a tapestry of frustration.

"Ahh- he's the world to me. I-I mean, v-very important... n-not!" Mai says, slapping a hand over your mouth. "Makoto, stop. This won't help!" She whispers to you, frantically.

"I'm not letting some guy push you around, Mai. Even if he some big hotshot." You state to her firmly. "You're my friend, and I care about you."

"Then please cure me." She grunts. Oh right, that.

"Ahem..." The man grunts, looking annoyed.

"Look, what's the big deal?" You ask, again frightening Mai. "You've been filming for days, almost nonstop."

"Yes, because this has to be perfect." He replies, pulling his sunglasses off. "I'm not sure whether you'd understand it, but I work in a very specific manner. Everything goes according to plan."

"Does your plan include exhausting your idols?" You ask, frowning. "Mai's been doing nothing but your junk from day one. Lay off her." You insist. The director grinds his teeth and seems to scrunch some kind of paper in his grip as you lambast him.

"Alright, see here you-" He says, then pauses. His face goes blank for a second, as he seems to ponder something.

"...Wait, 'He'?" He asks, turning to Mai.

Gods no, not another Hiroko disaster. This might blow Mai's career, making her hate us. I know that Qyubey will most likely not let that happen so fast, but still...

>>43880630
Why would Mai's career be blown apart by the director knowing that Makoto is male?

"Yeah, he." You concur, not missing a beat. The director flinches at the speed of your response, expecting at least slight hesitation.

"B-But you have-"

"Need a closer look~?" You ask with a sly grin and a wink. Your fingers delicately upturn the folds of your dress, threatening to expose what lies beneath. The director twitches again, but Mai slaps your hand down before you have the chance to let him sneak a peek.

"Makoto!" She squeals. "You may be perfect in every way- CURE THIS FRIGGIN THING- but don't just go around flashing people." She insists. You chuckle and relent, releasing your hands. You stare at the director for a second, observing his reaction. For a second there, it almost seemed like he was looking forward to what you were doing.

"Fine. If you think you know what's best, then you can take this evening off, Mai." He says, sighing.

"What, really?" She asks. He nods back.

"I don't agree with it, but if you and your friend here think that's what you need, then do so." He says, acting a bit pissy about it.

"It... would be nice." She admits, rubbing her cheek. "Thanks."

"Hmph, yeah." He grunts, looking away. Maybe's the sea of Hirokos, but he looks pretty red in the face right now. He leaves you and Mai to ponder as he heads back to the hotel, leaving the party in full-swing behind.

"Wow... never thought he'd actually agree to go off that schedule just to let me relax." Mai comments.

"Schedule?" You ask.

"Oh, this giant timetable he had planned out from day one." Mai explains, sighing. "Seemed really important to him. I guess I really am glad you came." She says with a smile.

"Definitely." You say, nodding. "...now can I be in the video?" You ask.

"Agh, fine!" She scoffs, smiling. "Just ask him."

"Hey!" You shout as Mai laves you be. One step forward, two steps back...

You and your friends take the time to start mopping up the Hiroko mess. When asked about it by the party-goers, you explain that they're a rare form of jellyfish that washed up... and are adorable. You have to add that they're highly poisonous to prevent people from trying to walk off with Hiroko of their own.

"She's not a volleyball!" You hear Saito shriek, hitting the sand on her face as people bat a fluid ball back and forth. That Hiroko was very dizzy at the end of it.

You place each into a cooler full of ice and reach into their souls, one by one. Technically the same soul, you suppose, but with a different heart each time. They each calm down as you heal them, finding it easy to do so with their smaller size and split energy, but it's a long process nonetheless. You spare a glare for Mai having fun on the beach while you're stuck healing Hirokos. Your mess, you suppose, but she could at least help out.

"Okay~" Saito grunts, plopping another one into the cooler. "I think that's the last one." She sighs, wiping her brow.

"Twenty-four, yep." Shizuko remarks, crossing off a number on her list. Umeki is beside her, transfixed by the mass of sleeping, tired Hirokos.

"Aw, I wish she could stay like that forever~" She coos, holding her hands together with her mouth open in joy. Truth be told, you're not sure HOW to rejoin them all. You don't think you have the airfare for 23 more seats. The three girls sit down next to you on the sand while you work. Yuuki seems to be absent for now- probably cleaning himself of you.

You turn to Umeki, watching the chibi Hirokos paw around like a bunch of drunken kittens. Once the last one is cured, you hold her aloft.

"Do you want to hold her?" You ask, gesturing to the one in your grip. Stars practically sparkle in her eyes as she nods. She takes the Hiroko very gently, holding her like a child or small animal, and nuzzles her cheek against her head.

"She's so cuute~" Umeki joyously says, overflowing with love. Even the tiny Hiroko is taken aback by her affection. You giggle and lean back, glad to be done with your work. The cooling sensation of the night air feels great on your skin.

"You do know you could take off that dress now." Saito comments, watching you lie back.

"I could." You reply, doing nothing. She rolls her eyes and lies back on the beach as well, listening to the beat of the music further down the beach. You glance over at the party side and see some kind of giant fire. Cocoa seems to have set a tent on fire and started dancing around it. You shake your head and turn towards Shizuko, sitting down with her arms wrapped around her legs.

"Hey Shizuko, do you still have that wig?" You ask her. She blinks.

"Uh, sure. It's a bit sandy." She says, holding it up.

"Looks expensive." You comment, holding a hand to it. Feels as real as actual hair.

"Uh, hehe, yeah." She says, rubbing the back of her head. "I wish I had it as easy as you when I try to do stuff like this." She says. Suddenly, she puffs her cheeks. "I-I MEAN, n-not dress up like you! Just, in general, hehe?" She shrugs. You smile back.

"I know. Your disguise was fantastic, Shizuko." You tell her. You see an awkward smile spread across her.

"I'm... just glad I could be of use." She says. Then, she pauses, and blinks. "Of use... I did help, didn't I?"

"Of course!" You exclaim. "The multi Makoto plan was your idea, and it worked out perfectly. I don't know what would have even happened without you there."

"Really?" She asks, growing uncharacteristically excited.

"...More or less." You say, glancing at the pile of unconscious Hirokos.

"Uh, hah," she rocks back and forth with a smile on her face, "I'm, uh, not really used to things I do working out so well. Usually it's just abject failure." You lay a hand on her head and rub gently.

"Everyone screws up sometimes. Hell, I screw up before breakfast." You reply proudly. "That's why you have to take small victories whenever you can."

"Mm." She mumbles, agreeing with you. It might be minor, but you think you can feel a small change in Shizuko. She seems... brighter, if only a little.

"Oh, Shun!" You hear Umeki exclaim, still clutching her Hiroko like a plushie. You glance back and notice a pair of girls approaching- well at first. On closer inspection, it appears to be Shun and the male Yui. His presence seems to confuse the three girls present around you.

"Who is that?" Saito asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Why? You interested~?" You ask, rubbing a hand on her shoulder. She flinches and goes bright-red.

"NO!" She shouts back, kicking up sand. You giggle and stand up, cracking your back, and then go to greet the two of them. First things first, you give Shun a big hug.

"Whoo- agh, easy." She cringes. "Still some ropeburn."

"S-Sorry." Yui mumbles, looking sheepish. The two seem to be interested in the Hiroko pile.

"I'll explain later." You sigh.

"So Yui... how's the penis?" You ask. Yui spits out in shock.

"M-Makoto!" He squeals. You and Shun giggle to yourselves.

"It's pretty good~" Shun comments, before Yui slaps her on the cheek. "Ow, what?" She asks. Yui, with red cheeks, gestures subtly to you.

"Oh, right." Shun mumbles, nodding. "Ahem- Her penis is not good."

Yui punches her in the stomach. "OGH!" She grunts, and goes down.

"Aheh, right." You say, shaking your head. "You know, if we had a male Shun then we'd all be flipped." You comment.

"Something for later perhaps. Wait, don't you have male genitalia right now?" Yui asks, crossing his arms. "Or what that what you meant~?" He asks, smirking.

"Oi, oi," you grunt, waving your hand, "anyway, would either of you like your very own Hiroko™? Only while stocks last." You ask.

"I was going to ask..." Yui mutters, looking concerned.

"Oh boy, really!?" Shun asks, as excited as a puppy. You explain what happened to the two of them, and your subsequent plans ending up as perfectly as possible. "...So, we can't have one?" Shun asks.

"Something tells me Hiroko wouldn't be up for that." You say, disappointing her. The sound of singing echoes in your ear; someone set up what was formerly Mai's stage into some kind of karaoke. She seems to be taking it easy with Naru off on their own. Shizuko and Saito are talking, and Umeki... seems to be fishing something out of the sea.

And by something, you mean Sen and Momo. They approach you, completely drenched.

"What happened to you two?" You ask.

"We were inside a whaaale." Momo says, waving her hands excitedly. You glance at Umeki.

"They were swimming." She sighs, holding their hands.

"Whaaale~"

"...What?" You say, absolutely baffled.

"I think it's about time for bed, you two." Umeki says, pulling them away.

"But I wanna... *yawn* play with Mai." Sen yawns, rubbing her eye.

"Yeah, onee!" Momo exclaims, being dragged along.

"No buts. Let's find Yuuki and put you all in bed." She asserts. The two girls pause and glance at each other, forming twin sinister smiles.

"Okaay~" They both say, walking along. That poor, poor boy, you think. The three of you go back over to sit with the other girls. Yui finds it a bit awkward to be the only (entirely) male member of the group for once- but not as awkward as Saito finds i. Still, after listening to a few drunken beach party-goers sing onstage, worries start to melt away. Umeki returns after a few minutes, and you all take some well-deserved rest- relieved of your cursed obsessions and personal grievances.

"Haa~ I'm bored." Shun sighs after listening to the fifth tortured j-pop song. "Hey Saito, you get up there. You're good at that, right?" She suggests. Saito scoffs.

"Sure, just empty the beach first." She replies, smiling with a smug look.

"You didn't have much of a problem with it earlier." Shizuko comments. That makes Saito flinch, and start sweating.

"I've... got no idea what you mean."

"Hrm..." Shizuko grumbles, leering at her.

"Tell me what you mean, Shizuko." You whisper to her, sitting back so Saito can't hear. You don't want to be teasing him again after last time. She leans closer to you.

"Back when you were curing Hiroko, Mai convinced Saito to go up and sing." She explains.

"What!?" You exclaim, stunned. "How?"

"A disguise." She says, shrugging.

"I wonder where she got that idea from?" You say with a smirk. Shizuko looks away with a smile.

"I don't know if it was my doing, but she did pretty good work. When he's not trying to 'be Saito', Aoi can be pretty cute." Shizuko continues to whisper to you. You grin at Saito, lying on the sand as stoically as she can muster.

"...What?" She asks.

> You've gotta sing now~
> I just wanted to know who that cute girl with Mai was.
> Nothing at all.

Regardless of Saito's actions, you definitely feel the beat within you.

"I wanna sing!" You exclaim, sitting up.

"Hehe, then go knock off that jackass and get to it!" Shun demands, pointing at the stage where someone is singing poorly. You nod and, thankfully don't hurl him from the stage, but graciously take your turn next. The music setup seems easy enough to put a desired track of your own on, so all you'd need to do is bring your A-game. Or be terrible on purpose; you don't have anything to risk here.

"Oh, nothing," you assure Saito, shrugging, "I just wanted to know who that cute girl singing with Mai was."

"W-What?" Saito asks, her eyes widening and staring at Shizuko.

"She didn't know." You reply. Instantly, Aoi seems to relax. "Haa~ what a shame. She looks amazing up there."

"...she did?" Aoi asks, fairly quietly.

"Yeah!" You exclaim back happily. "Man, what I'd give to hear that girl again. Maybe I'll ask Mai sometime."

"Mmnh." Saito says, nodding with her cheeks bright red. Aww, you think, hopefully that makes up for the anguish you caused him earlier.

---===---

Using magic, you quickly clean down the sand from your dress and walk up onto the stage. With a hand raised, you greet everyone.

"Hello! I'm Makoto and I'll be singing next." You announce. "Just call me your maiden in white'." You wink.

"You're wearing red, you chode!" Mai jeers from the audience.

"Baagh!" You say, waving your hand at her dismissively. You clear your throat and begin to sing as the song comes on. You're a bit rocky at first, but after a line or two you settle into the feeling. It's been a while since you sung in front of a crowd; probably not since you auditioned with Mai. Sadly you didn't have the option to sing sentai theme songs here, but the feeling is the same. Your voice is clear, almost crystalline, and a welcome relief after the amateurs that preceded you. It seems simple to you now, as your voice is carried by the melody. You start to walk from one side of the stage to the other, taking careful steps with your heels on. The audience follows your movements, rather intently. People who were ignoring you start to pay attention; even people playing sports (which ends up with one guy getting pegged by a volleyball).

Even the rowdy side of the beach (half on fire) begins to pay attention. Your voice grows in volume and intensity, echoing down throughout the beach, and bouncing off the waves. Every Hiroko is watching in awe.

"W-Wow," you think to yourself once you notice the spellbound audience, "I guess I must have gotten a bit better since then. Maybe dying had something to do with it?" You think to yourself jokingly as you spin around, raising your voice higher and higher. Strangely, your assumption may not have been that incorrect- you do feel a pulse of energy. An incredible one actually. You feel the power within yourself rise and rise in intensity. It's... it's not coming from you!

It's from them.

Every single person listening to you has a heart burning within them, lending you energy. Not in a way that would burn them, but with a little bit from each person of the huge crowd, you're having trouble keeping it under control. However, you can't stop singing either- it feels so good. You voice travels past even end of the song, forming it's own tempo. The air around you crackles with energy and shimmers with a divine light until-

A crack of thunder. A blinding flash. The sea itself seems to fly backwards, from the force of your power releasing itself. When the light fades, and your senses return, you stare out over a sea of amazed looks. You glance down and see your dress has vanished- replaced by your Maiden Light outfit, the same one you attained when you defeated Pepper.

"Again?" You think, observing the almost bridal gown flowing behind you. "From... them?" You think, looking out over the silent crowd. You clutch the mic to your chest. Their hearts are quiet again, but for a moment there, they were beating to your tune. But as quickly as the silence came, it vanishes, and is replaced by uproarious applause. Your heart swells with pride, but also with fear.

"O-Okay... how about another?" You ask them. A giant 'yes' rings out.

Alright, that's the end of the session. Was a nice one, and that ending 100 actually worked out in my favour for once. Introduced exactly what Makoto can now do with the Burning Heart power. Raise up your hands, give Makoto your love- and he'll shoot lasers with it.

That's pretty much Smoldering Hearts to a close. There'll be a 12th thread, just to wrap things up and a small talk with the director, but otherwise we'll jump over a few days of relaxing (maybe some lewds) before heading back home. Plot's a-coming; it's waiting, eagerly.

Since we've now pretty much passed the point where Makoto and Mai could feasibly have hate-sex, would anyone be adverse to an omake of it?


Next session should be midweek, Wednesday again.

I'd like to thank you all for coming, I hope you have a good night/day.
>>43884195
Agh, just realized I couldn't actually have Mai say 'you chode' because of her curse. Replace the name with one of his friends then; or the insult with a compliment (You perfect princess! Dammit, can't even heckle...)

>>43884556
Yes, yes you did.

>>43884646
Whoops, wrong Status. It's here: http://pastebin.com/MtRm4DZS

>>43884646
I'm waiting for Momo x Sen experimental hate sex

And I have the feeling we're approaching DBZ levels of fun power levels.

And Makoto-Mai hatesex sounds like a wonderful idea.

*reads pastebin*
Heh, being the Naoki is suffering. And being the Naoya is feminine.

>>43884646
Been waiting for ages for such an omake. Sadly couldn't prevail against the hordes of Mai-haters why did they ever exist?

>>43884759
Why are you sad, anon? Did you realize ducks can be gay?

>>43884827
I think it was just one or two guys at most really.

>>43884646
I was wondering if there was going to be something to burn our super mode on. I was just expecting some completely unrelated kaiju or something though

>>43884828
by the way, some slight updates on the pastebin are in order...

>Adept Singer
but the criiiit!
>Heart
whatever it is that we unlocked
>Mai Aihara
>owes Makoto a holiday

...i think?

Thanks!

>>43884646
I'm fine with hate sex.

Poor Naoya, I almost feel sorry for him, almost.

>>43884646
>Raise up your hands, give Makoto your love- and he'll shoot lasers with it.

Does that mean we can spirit bomb people now?

>>43885050
Spirit RKO.

But yes, Makoto is now Goku.

>>43885050
Yes, and then do that Negima technique of absorbing it and going super mode

> Thinks you're a girl, but privately. Scared of Saito.
But privately...what?

>>43885144
As if, he's not telling people that. Because he's afraid of Saito.
