@lapin@varishangout.net Indeed, it does not. MC is off with Counters on another mission, this is effectively a (very important) side story surrounding the next Old Tales squad member for us to "see what her fate was/is." Cinderella and Abe were the first of Old Tales to be introduced via main story, and we got to meet the rest of Old Tales in the eponymous Old Tales event for second anniversary. I can understand where people would get yuri vibes, but in the same way Mihara would never leave Yuni, neither would Sam leave Frodo. Mihara and Yuni find solace in each other basically as dejected military assets, but certain events give them a redemption arc and power up. Indeed, some of the Nikkes do love each other, but not in the same way they **love** the MC. That being said I'm super anxious about the next Old Tales related event. Nikke is all about hope in times of bleakness, but sometimes... the heroes do lose and tragedy strikes. Idk if my heart would be able to take it @blueknightfrank@varishangout.net
