An Arrival of a Rival. CH 27

Recovering after memorable night with Nala and Mala, Faulkner spends the day with Karika and Reiza as they explore Akihabara, one of Japan’s most visited tourist attractions. With the goal of buying souvenirs and eating foods they can only find there, they soon come to what is considered the birthplace of maid cafe’s. An experience totally different than what they got at Gritty Kitty Cafe.

An Arrival of a Rival. CH 26

Taking advantage of their privacy in the karaoke room, Nala and Mala strike, cornering Faulkner as they vent their sexual frustrations. While Karika and Reiza were keenly aware of the possibility this could happen, Faulkner was left out of the loop, unaware of Karika and Reiza’s shenanigans, leaving him to deal with Nala and Mala, who he knows loves him very much.

Karika, Reiza, and Fereida have an impromptu girls night out after Reiza changed the groups plans unexpectedly. With no idea where to go, they wrack their brains on where to go next.

Left alone with Cheshire twins Nala and Mala, Faulkner is dragged along by the two to enjoy their day off with him after more than two years.

As the two groups enjoy themselves, Nala and Mala see this as a chance to express their gratitude to Faulkner in ways the other group likely anticipates, leaving Faulkner the only person in the lurch.

The time had come at last. Looking forward to this since December, Faulkner, Karika, and Reiza head off to Japan for a week long vacation. While they were given tickets there to watch Nala and Mala’s performance live, they might as well sightsee and experience all there is to do and see in Japan while they’re there.
