Gamindustri… Here in this reality shift realms are 4 presiding CPUs and their younger sisters. Each resided in Celestia, a world separated from the Land they oversee. CPU Black Heart, also known as Noire govern the Land of Black Regality, Lastation. Under her was her younger sister Uni, the CPU Candidate of the land.
CPU White Heart, known as Blanc and her own set of twin younger sisters' rule over the Land of White Serenity, Lowee.
CPU Green Heart, the only CPU without a younger sibling to her dismay rule over the Land of Green Pastures, Leanbox.
CPU Purple Heart, known only as Neptune and her younger but taller sister Nepgear rule over The Land of Purple Progress Planeptune
These magnificent CPUs and their friends fought hard and well to save Gamindustri from certain destruction at the hands of the dreaded Arfoir. A year has passed since the incident, peace and serenity had finally overtaken the land for good. Well, not exactly. The land of Black Regality was suffering a small little problem regarding a certain CPU candidate.
The cries of pure sorrow resonated throughout the halls, an annoyance to the basilicom staff, yet, they dare not to intervene with the matter. All except one who had enough of the nonsense and was not afraid to stop the situation at any cost. A short girl with pale skin and boyish-cut silver hair strode pass the alarm staff members.
She wore a formal black suit with silver lining with many buttons and shorts. Below the black high socks with white detailing and slip on black shows with small blue and silver detailing on the top. Two long tails come from the jacket and have blue coloring inside. Under her black suit are a white button-up shirt and light blue necktie, the collar having symmetrical black linings.
Her bright aqua blue color eyes were stern, not bothered by the cries from her CPU candidate. She halted in front of her destination, behind the door of the obnoxious crying she hated so much. The silver-haired woman could hear the candidate blowing her nose while whimpering like a small dog.
A sigh escaped her lips before raising her fist and knocked on the door three times. Kei's trained ears captured a faint gasp from the other side along with sounds of grunting noises, causing the stern woman to raise her eyebrows in confusion. However not a moment to waste Uni's familiar voice responded. "G-go away! I'm fine!"
On the receiving end of the response, the silver hair girl shook her head and decided to open the door in an abrupted manner, "Uni I've been receiving comp-"
"AAH KEI DON'T JUST BARGE IN LIKE THAT!" she said with her mouth fully agape.
"If I'm correct, knocking before entering isn't exactly what I call barging in." Kei said as she pressed a button on the wall, lighting the darkly lit room. The stern woman rarely if not ever saw the inside of Uni's room. Maybe a handful of times, especially during the whole ASIC situation. The girl was heartbroken for so long when she heard the news of her older sister Noire was taken as a prisoner by ASIC. She was so distraught the girl never bothered to leave her room. Isolating herself from the outside world, depress and enrage at her lack of strength.
Their many talks eventually gave Uni enough motivation to stop sulking. With a stronger mindset, she set out to train her hardest every day to be as strong as her older sibling. The silver hair girl was honestly proud of Uni's willpower and motivational drive to save her sister and how steadfast she recovered.
Now it seems she's back to sulking again and causing even more of a ruckus with the staff, a completely different situation which Kei is going to find out the cause. Looking around Uni's room, she saw how strikingly similar it is to Noire's. Just goes to show how much she admired her sister.
The floor was premium black tiles with white walls surrounding the place making it look pristine and clean. In the middle was a black couch and a small white table pointing towards at the large 55-inch 4k tv, below the nice tv was a black shelf that held all the latest lastation games.
At Opposite end of the doorway at the corner of the wall were two jointed desks, lay on top of it was a mess of books and presumably paperwork Uni hadn't gotten to do. A meter across from the small office was a black bed, sitting there with her knees up to her chest and blankets covering her entire backside was Uni.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Kei squinted and noticed the outline of a box next to her under the blanket. "She's hiding a tissue box so that I wouldn't suspect anything. But those eyes of hers and the loud, obnoxious crying isn't in her favor."
True to her words, Uni's eyes were red beyond belief, and not just her eyes but her nose and rosy cheeks.
"It doesn't matter! You have to wait for my answer before you can just enter my room!" She said with an annoyed tone, crossing her arms.
"Alright, alright I get it. Well in any case, do you mind telling me why you've been sulking and crying lately? Are you depress from something?" the question caught the candidate off guard, she averted her eyes to the ground avoiding eye contact with the Oracle in dismay
"I-im not depressed…" the candidate stifled a sniff. "I'm alright okay? Nothing bad happened. I was… watching a sad movie y-yeah… a very sad romance movie…"
"Right." Kei rolled her eyes, "You expect me to believe that? You've been this way for the past three days. I don't think a sad movie can cause this much sadness in you for that long."
"Uhh well, it was a whole series of sad movies! I was w-watching a marathon of sad movies these l-last few days…"
"I don't see the tv on."
"I-i j-just finished them, yeah! It was an u-unfortunate ending when one of the characters got dump by his girlfriend and stuff…super sad stuff you know."
Kei pinched her forehead before continuing, "Uni cut the crap already. Did you and Nepgear had a fight recently? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this reaction from you. Also, from the obvious subtle references about relationships within the "Movies," you described made me think otherwise." The silver hair oracle noticed a subtle reaction from the mention of Planeptune CPU candidate's name. Uni began to tremble lightly as she covered her face with her hands.
"Y-yes…" trying her best not to choke on her words she continued. "M-me and Nepgear decided to break up…Or rather she broke up with me instead." She sighed as she removed her hands from her face, revealing fresh new tears sliding across her cheek.
"A-apparently she didn't believe our r-relationship was working out between us. I just don't understand why though… I MEAN WHAT DID I DO WRONG?!" she yelled while messing with her hair like a maniac.
Kei stood with her stern face not wincing or unmoved by the enrage girl in front of her. The silver hair girl instead pinched her forehead a second time for having to deal with this situation. She had wished it was something else other than relationship problems. It's the one thing she wasn't good at or have any knowledge about it, so she was very much useless in this situation. "Damn it, Noire should be the one consoling her not me."
"Look, Uni calmed down and lower your voice. I'm not good at this sort of stuff, relationships aren't my top priority so why don't you speak with your sister about it instead?"
Kei almost choked at Uni's reaction when she saw her rolled her eyes upon hearing the name of her older sister.
"I don't want to see Noire." She said in such a bitter tone even Kei winced from it. To the oracle's knowledge, Uni had always favored her sister in a positive light, constantly acknowledging her as the best and most perfect goddess in the world. The fact the CPU candidate sounded bitter didn't make the situation right.
"Must I ask why?"
"Because she never bothered to talk to me while I was sulking in my room! You said it yourself! For three damn days that I've been in this room a-and not once did she ever show her face to comfort me like a true big sister!" tears poured from her eyes as she gritted her teeth, "She cares more about her work than me! That's why I don't want to see her!"
Kei was taking back from the outburst but quickly recomposed herself; she sighed as she slid her hand down her face.
Uni adverted her eyes away from Kei's and spoke in a soft disheartening whisper. "Even you came to show up instead of Noire…Goes to show how much she loves me right…"
A few seconds of silence came between the two before Kei responded.
"I'm sure Noire is dealing with some serious problems concerning with the nation right now. She's a goddess with duties, and as a goddess, she needs to be working hard as ever to protect her people from any terrible instances."
Uni lowered her head; eyes half closed, Kei continued, "She doesn't have time to deal with her sadden little sister who's dealing with a minor relationship problem."
"It isn't minor… And I understand what you're saying, but she could at least stop by and comfort me in my time of need…"
"Look I only came here to deal with your obnoxious crying, and if it helps, I'll go and fetch Noire for you both to talk. Okay?
Uni slowly nodded in response, "Okay…" her tears were reforming again to Kei's dismay.
"If only I were better at this." Kei thought before leaving the room.
