Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

[Fire Lord Zuko]

Did we ever find out what Imani's Secret Santa tickets were for exactly? From the Christmas Party in 0.36 when Akira was still catatonic?

Unless I'm just misremembering, I don't think we've found out the answer to this question yet.

...Potential date chain with Imani like the Chika Onsen and Makoto Beach trip? She does have three more events coming up in 0.45, so maybe it could happen around then.

I mean, I sure hope so because she deserves way more than pity oral triggered by tragic backstory. In fact, I think Akira could learn a lot from someone that has that backstory and manages to become the Imani of today.

She didn't have anything going for her other than "I want to have sex with Akira", but given his reaction to her latest events, I think it's likely Akira intends to learn from her (he says something about learning to carry light or something like that).

I just hope it isn't a date to the amusement park or to watch sea turtles (that's for my girl Yumi, don't you dare, Selebus). I'm fine with anything other than that.

Maybe it's tickets to visit the new "low-income apartment complex" she plans to move into (can you imagine lol).

To be fair, he seems to be trying to turn a new leaf with plenty of girls as of late. All it got him is everyone getting up their hopes for the relationship to go further than Akira seems to be capable of. It‘d be more interesting for her to find out that he‘s in an ‚exclusive‘ relationship with 35 girls, 2 asking of whom asking to move in with him while she‘s the only one getting a hard pass

If Imani found out about it she'd get into a situation where she'd have to resign from her job (same as Wakana, that may know from Osako, but chooses to at least pretend that she doesn't). Imani actively goes out of her way not to find out about it. Niki does the same, but Niki does it only for her mental well being. So unless Imani intends to hop onto the predator bandwagon, she'd best continue actively avoiding any confirmation on their students.

Just to throw this out there, there's something I don't think has been talked about when it comes to Io's recent events.

It wasn't necessarily about her. By that, I mean it was about Uta:

Io looks up to Uta, and believes she would actually be dead if she never met her:

So, it seems like Io was trying to protect Uta from Sensei, by becoming Sensei's tool, after finding out that he's holding on to a wizard pic of Uta.

In other words: Io was trying to keep him from fucking up Uta, by offering herself.

It's all she had to offer:

The "parenting" stuff just forced her to stop being in denial about him. He reminded her of her mother. Then he could even use the same words she did:

In another timeline, this may have ended on a happy note:

But, even leaving may lead to problems. Albeit, I suppose we'll see.

That makes a lot of sense. Hmm

Really, interesting point re: Uta. Hadn’t thought of that.

Three thoughts about Stomachache to add to what you and everyone else has pointed out:

• The look on Akira’s face when Io is giving to him with both barrels — that was my expression throughout, and it made me hope that his growing empathy isn’t just another excuse to beat himself up or a psychopath’s mask
• I thought I hated Sekai before; I had only just begun
• I forced myself to play the “Destroy Her” option, though I really didn’t want to — and hated myself though the whole thing. That stare….

Who do you think would have the worst reaction out of the adults? I'd say Wakana or Osako, maybe Sara. Pretty sure it would be Chika out of the students. Of course there would be two different things to react to, him sleeping with his students and him sleeping with his daughterniece.

Weirdly, I think it might be Maki. Most adult have been exposed to the students' battle over Sensei. So it shouldn't be that much of a surprise if something was happening. Other adults are weirdly okay with the idea of him being with a minor. But Maki is the most oblivious and explicitly not okay with it.

Simple answer: Probably Maki from the adults, and Chika from the teenagers. Wakana cares too much about Akira by now that she'd try to fix him instead.

Also, Wakana suspects just how badly Sekai screwed Akira up.

 

[derekthered56]

Niki and Wakana both love Akira, but neither of them are afraid to call him out when he crosses a line. There's no way "fixing him" would involve the whole harem thing continuing.

Of course Maki would be the worst, he basically lied to her face about it while stringing her along into a relationship he doesn't really care about.

Honestly I'm surprised I didn't think of Maki.

You say that as if they had that power. Niki has as much power as Akira lets her. He's the only one for her and she can never give up on him. That is not the same for him in the least. Niki is aware of this and the only moment where she has put her foot down was when Ami had her back, and for all Niki means to him, Akira would have thrown her out if not for Ami having called her. So she might try (don't think she would), but if Akira doesn't give up on his harem for Ami, he would hardly do so for Niki.

Wakana is more capable of doing something because she can live without Akira. Wakana however knows more about Akira than Niki regarding his relationship with Sekai, and even if she found out and tried "dismantling" his harem, what could she actually do? Have him fired? He clearly doesn't care about that. Arrest him? That wouldn't happen either, and neither would Wakana even try it as a way to help him.

Definitely agree that they'd call him out, but yeah, they have no power there... So far, the one person I see with the highest likelihood of Akira actually listening to regarding this is Maya Prime if she returned Edit: (because, well, he was faithful to her for years. That's the only person he was faithful to, since he was with Sekai at the same time as Niki).

 

[Bingoogus]

daughterniece

I just woke up, so i'm gonna blame that, but i was staring at this for more than a minute trying to figure out what that reminded me of, like, i was really scratching my head thinking i'd seen something similar not too long ago... finally clicked, mothermom, it was this fucking game i was trying to remember!

Wakana might not want to involve the police, but she could still use that as a threat. I'm not sure whether he could see through and call that bluff. He's starting to get some insight into her though, so I'm not sure how things would go from there if he really did refuse.

Niki only has as much power as Akira gives her, but that's still a lot. Only Ami and Maya Prime are ahead of her in priority I think. We've also seen that he was totally willing to throw Noriko under the bus to avoid displeasing Ami. So if Niki pulls a "me or them" maybe he reasons that she wouldn't leave anyway, but does he actually risk that? When you get down to it Akira is submissive and a coward, I don't think he'd have the spine in that situation to fight for the others if he could keep both Niki and Ami happy.

Of course Akira can't stop the harem because that would ruin the game, but I think that means that Niki and Wakana won't find out until some more crazy developments happen, not that they wouldn't have the guts to stop him now.

 

[niconob92]

So we finally have an anal scene after 4+ years of development, and true to his word it was maki. Should the thread have an anal tag? Feels like playing for like 50 hours+ just for one scene with a side character would be kinda misleading lmao

 

[Fire Lord Zuko]

Tbh, ignoring all the conveniences and the fact that this game would be boring if it occurred, there’s no feasible way that Akira would be in any danger when it comes to getting arrested.

Like okay sure. Someone reports him. You think the Tsukiokas would let him get arrested? They probably have the police in their pockets, no doubt.

Tsukasa likes the recent attention she gets from him due a lack of it from her parents, Touka has grown to the point where she’s falling for him just like the rest of her class, and Tsubasa? Tsubasa is just entertained by him in a way that not much else is anymore in her eyes.

So yeah. I think it’s safe to say he’s not seeing any jail time lol. It’s a non-threat.

 

[hcguy]

Never really understood the hatred for atrX like that, he seems like a fine dude

He may be. But he is definitely cloning LiL and I think Selebus's disdain is justified.

 

[Fanvor]

Edit: (because, well, he was faithful to her for years. That's the only person he was faithful to, since he was with Sekai at the same time as Niki).

Do we actually know that? I was under the impression that he was seeing multiple wizards at the time.

I agree, I was just going along with derek's idea. I not only agree with you, but I'd go even further: Akira's not in danger of anything whatsoever. Himawari has said so, AmIOkay has said so, and it has been repeated by many narrators: the only barrier to everyone's freedom is him. I mean, I guess he's in danger of being factory reset, but danger from "real things" probably aren't a factor.

It's weird to even consider being "arrested" when you can just get up from a chair and leave the room with the clocks. As to people threatening him with it, well, Tsubasa already did. As to Niki and Wakana even getting up to that point, I don't think they ever would. Tsubasa did because it concerned him being sexually attracted to her wizard daughter (which ended up with her not only not calling the police, but trusting him with her daughter). And if Tsubasa hasn't by that point, it's unlikely Wakana or Niki would either.

In fact, I can tell you how that dialogue would go right now: Wakana says "Arakawa, if you don't stop, as a teacher and concerned adult I'll put you behind bars", Akira responds "Good, do it. It's about time." Wakana does nothing. Or has sex with him, I sure hope they're having sex by then.

Tsubasa really just cares about his relationship with Touka and Tsukasa(and maybe Chika). She might pull strings to keep him out of prison but idk if she cares about him getting outed. And really who knows what her endgame is with him, she might be fine with him landing in jail.

The real thing protecting him is that a bunch of gods that can rewrite memories have centered their whole religion around him having sex with as many teenagers as possible. They don't care about his well-being but nothing will ever truly impede his harem collecting.
