On June 18, a promotional video for a game suddenly appeared on M Station. It arrived so quietly that, had the uploader not been BlackNeko Chu Lian, who had seemingly been inactive for quite some time, hardly anyone would have bothered clicking on it.
A few curious viewers, along with some of Chu Lian's most devoted fans and readers, opened the video. Right at the beginning, they saw Chu Lian sitting before a dressing mirror, wearing a long green dress with a wreath of flowers on her head.
There was no explanation accompanying the opening scene, almost as though this were an ordinary video. Meanwhile, the number of scrolling comments rapidly increased.
[Chu Lian-chan, lick lick lick lick!]
[Finally! A new video after waiting so long! This time it's uploaded in the gaming category? What the hell? Whatever, I'll lick first and ask questions later!]
[The Heart of First Love Alliance has arrived! Your Majesty, your royal guards are standing by!]
[Reporting in from later in the video! Extreme excitement ahead! Fanservice incoming!]
[Smack anyone who spoils the good stuff!]
[Don't hit me! I'm on your side!] ...
She held a red flower, plucking its petals off one by one. The crimson petals drifted onto the white carpet, drawing attention to the pair of flawless bare feet peeking out beneath her green dress. The sight was utterly enticing.
[Holy shit! It really is fanservice! A feast for foot lovers! I have nothing else to say. Please let me lick them!]
[Get lost, you pervert! How dare someone like you think you're worthy of licking Her Majesty's precious feet! Lady Chu Lian, please step on my face! Step on it hard!]
[I have no idea what she's doing or who she's cosplaying, but those legs, those feet... Damn...]
[A foot lover who gets to see legs like those can die without regrets!]
"Big Sis, it's time for us to begin." Another girl entered the frame. Her face bore a considerable resemblance to Chu Lian's, but her figure was so exceptionally voluptuous that it bordered on the unbelievable.
[AAAAAH! The sisters together! Lady Chu Chu, please insult me! I've loved you for so long!]
[Their faces look so similar, yet their bust sizes belong to two completely different worlds! Is this some kind of genetic mutation?]
[You can all have Chu Lian! Lady Chu Chu, please be mine!]
[I want both sisters!]
It was obvious that Chu Chu wasn't particularly comfortable facing the camera, probably because she didn't have much acting experience. Nevertheless, her entrance felt completely natural, as though she were treating everything being filmed as an ordinary part of daily life.
[Shy Lady Chu Chu is so adorable! (≧ω≦)]
[So she's really not comfortable on camera? She doesn't have her sister's sense for it, but she's still so cute!]
[Why are there girls this adorable in the world?!]
"Are Inori and the others ready?" Chu Lian rose gracefully and turned toward Chu Chu, her beautiful hair swaying gently, seemingly reflecting their emotions at that moment.
[Such an elegant young lady! Honestly, if Chu Lian weren't such a tsundere, she'd practically be the perfect model of a refined young mistress!]
[I get the feeling this is some kind of elf cosplay. See those ears sticking out through her hair?] [Is this Chu Lian's bedroom? It's surprisingly tidy and cute!]
"Everyone's ready. We're the only ones left. Phew, having to do this all over again is such a pain." Chu Chu was wearing a black Gothic Lolita dress, with a pair of cat ears adorned with tiny red bows perched on her head. Her voice carried a hint of impatience.
[HOLY SHIT! I've been overwhelmed by cuteness! Cat ears, Gothic Lolita, huge boobs, and a loli! Every single one of my weaknesses has been struck!]
[Please allow me to betray the Alliance for three seconds! Chu Chu is just way too cute right now!]
[I can't take it! I can't take it anymore! I want to keep a cat-eared loli at home!]
"Oh, you. Some things simply have to be done. Haven't we worked so hard all this time precisely so everyone can see the results of our efforts today? Be good." Chu Lian reached out and gently stroked her cheek. Her behavior was exactly that of a sensible elder sister looking after her mischievous little sister.
[I'm shipping this couple! Every time the Heart of First Love Alliance holds a couple popularity poll on its official website, I vote for Chu Chu × Chu Lian! Why can't you people appreciate the beauty of yuri between sisters?!]
[I'm shipping them too!]
[Busty little sister × flat-chested big sister! Surprisingly adorable!]
[Still, I have to admit that although Chu Lian is usually a bit tsundere, when she gets serious, she really gives off that dependable big-sister aura!]
Although the two girls were the same height, and Chu Chu actually looked a little more mature, Chu Lian's demeanor completely overshadowed those differences. No matter what Chu Chu did, whenever she stood before Chu Lian, she inevitably seemed like the younger sister.
[As expected, Chu Lian is the dominant one! That presence is so overwhelming that her little sister can't even steal the spotlight!]
[Not necessarily! Maybe the little sister takes the lead at certain times!]
[Hey, aren't they only twelve or thirteen? Should you really be discussing this sort of thing?]
[Ahem. Although Chu Lian-chan's fans adore her, she's been so provocative for ages that everyone's standards of decency have already dropped. Don't worry, everyone knows where to draw the line.]
"All right, all right! You don't have to say any more! I know you're really mature, Big Sis, but couldn't you at least let Chu Chu save a little face?" Although she was clearly enjoying the attention, her words carried such an unmistakably tsundere edge that viewers couldn't help smiling knowingly.
[Tsundere Chu Chu, lick lick lick!]
[They're definitely sisters! Not only do they look alike, their personalities are similar too! Both tsunderes! So cute, so cute!]
[Didn't Chu Lian once call herself a white loli? Does that make Chu Chu a black loli now? LOL! Black and white together! Black-and-white pairings have been a classic since ancient times!]
The camera followed the two girls as they opened the door and walked down a spacious, empty corridor. Their surroundings were captured in full, revealing decorations that ranged from tasteful elegance to extravagant luxury. The red carpet and famous paintings hanging at intervals of three meters were enough to leave viewers astonished.
[So many rooms! Such a huge house! Such luxurious decorations! BlackNeko-chan really is a fair-skinned, rich beauty!]
[Only a family like this could raise such beautiful girls. This place looks exactly like the mansions where wealthy young ladies live in anime! It's so luxurious!]
[Chu Lian-chan comes from such a wealthy family and still works to earn money. Then I think about myself... Sigh, I'm too ashamed to show my face!]
[By the way, can some expert explain whether those paintings are originals or replicas?]
As they walked along the staircase, girls emerged from various corners and joined the procession. Some wore short purple dresses, others close-fitting white bodysuits.
One had most of her body concealed beneath a magical robe, revealing only half her face and a few strands of long hair. Another wore armor, while others were dressed in magnificent princess gowns, pristine white robes that made them look incredibly holy, or pink dresses reminiscent of cherry blossoms. Altogether, the scene resembled an elaborate cosplay convention.
[Hold on, let me figure out who's who. It's been ages since I've seen them, so my memory's a little fuzzy.]
[The one in the short purple dress is Chu Lian-chan's shy younger cousin, Li Xiu'er.]
[The one in the white bodysuit is the Japanese warrior girl Kurosaki Satsuki. Her white hair makes her easy to recognize.]
[The one in the magical robe is Cai Ya. Even though she's almost completely covered, you can recognize her from the lower half of her face and the curls at the ends of her hair.]
[The girl in armor is Ruriko Nana. She's the only one with short hair.]
[The one in the princess dress is Lux. She's just as easy to recognize as Kurosaki Satsuki because she's blonde.]
[The one in the white robe is Liu Yanran. Her aura is the easiest to recognize. Even wearing the ceremonial robes of a foreign saintess, she somehow manages to radiate classical Huaxian elegance, LOL!]
[The pink-haired girl is my goddess, Inori! Goddess Inori Yuzuriha! How could I possibly fail to recognize her?!]
[This newbie thanks the experts for the explanations!]
As they reached the third floor, a small black dog with three heads suddenly came running toward them. With every step it took, black flames seemed to flare beneath its paws before vanishing almost immediately.
Behind it came Tina, frantically chasing after it. "Blackie! Don't run around, meow! We're busy right now, meow!"
Unfortunately, Blackie ignored her completely. Instead, it dashed to Chu Lian's feet and wagged its tail furiously, all three heads gazing up at her with pitiful expressions.
[Is that CGI? Why does it look so real?]
[About that... Chu Lian-chan once told the Heart of First Love Alliance something, but those guys always refuse to talk about it! They won't tell us anything!]
[The Heart of First Love Alliance is nothing but heresy! The Church of Push-Down Chu Lian is our true faith!]
[You cultists, taste my spear!]
[Would you all stop arguing?! One side's an alliance, the other's a church, and you're constantly fighting! It's so annoying!]
[This is a matter of faith! Lolis are meant to be protected and cherished, not pushed down!]
[That's Blackie, the three-headed hellhound Cerberus. Apparently, he's a puppy they adopted. Don't let his current size fool you. When he grows larger, he can reach over ten meters tall!]
[No! That's completely unscientific! How can a mythological creature just show up like that?!]
[Relax. I've already decided our world makes no scientific sense, so I don't care anymore.]

[By the way, hasn't anyone noticed the genuine cat-eared loli behind him? Her ears move! Her tail moves! Long white twin-tails, a blue maid outfit... Please let me have a maid just like her!]
"Honestly, you don't even need to be involved in this. Go back and play with Anna. We're busy." Chu Lian bent down and stroked Blackie's back before picking him up and handing him to Tina.
"Tina, keep a close eye on him. Don't let him run around everywhere." Once Tina had Blackie in her arms, she immediately tightened her hold to prevent him from escaping.
Hearing Chu Lian's instructions, she obediently replied, "Okay, Master! You go ahead and take care of your work, meow!"
"Mm." Chu Lian acknowledged her, then noticed that everyone else was already waiting for her on the staircase between the third and fourth floors. Without further hesitation, she walked up to join them.
[What an obedient little maid! What's her name? Tina? Hearing her call someone Master just now practically melted my heart! And that ridiculously adorable verbal tic, 'meow,' is just unfair! Oh my god, my loli-loving soul has awakened!]
[Loli maid in white stockings! My life is complete! I can die without regrets!]
[What does it mean to break through the dimensional barrier? This is what it means! After seeing Chu Lian's entire household, I feel like I'm about to fall in love with the real world!]
[I joined the Heart of First Love Alliance ages ago! She's my one and only faith in the real world!]
[Warriors of the Alliance, cheers! []~(￣▽￣)~] [Cheers! []~(￣▽￣)~]
"Master, everything is ready." A tall, coldly beautiful figure suddenly descended from the rooftop. Her tight black-and-red outfit could barely contain the generous curves spilling from its unzipped neckline.
Her snowy cleavage resembled a pair of pristine mountain peaks, tempting anyone who saw it to discover the beauty of the crimson blossoms hidden at their summits.
"Everything's ready? Good..." Chu Lian nodded gently. Without looking at her again, she walked over to a nearby door and stopped before it.
[AAAAAAAAAAH!! The ice-queen lovers are going to explode! Why is there an actual queen-type beauty here?! I always thought Sister Ayase was the most queenly among Chu Lian's group, but I never imagined there'd be someone even more commanding!]
[What does it feel like to have an icy queen call you Master? Oh, I've already surrendered! No, wait! I want to conquer her!]
[Already on my knees! Please let me see the queen's precious feet! Let me kiss them!]
[Your Excellency is truly a brave (suicidal) hero!]
Turning around, Chu Lian glanced at the girls who had gathered behind her. Her eyes narrowed in concentration. Then she faced forward again, reached out, and gently pushed open the door that represented a new world...
