"They say that, one can never escape from the shackle of fate, and the more they tried to break that destiny, the closer they are to their intended fate."

Clack, Clack, Clack, Clack-

The sound of a knife hitting something resounded within the admittedly large kitchen of the Heavenhold's Café.

Standing in front of the Sink while cutting the vegetables to make an coleslaw is an admittedly attractive man, He was a very handsome man with short golden blonde hair that looked as if it has been sprinkled with golden dust from some fairies, he has the height and weight of a standard man in his 20s

He was seen holding a kitchen knife, a large chopping board under with several vegetables sitting on it and was being cut into pieces as it is, beside him is a cooking stove with a frying pan in with several thin beef strips and eggs being cooked at the same time with the beef on top of the egg.

His green eyes was filled with maturity and calmness as if there are no things that could get on his skin, for the attires he wore an all-black business suit which consisted of a navy blue tie, undershirt, and shoes. For the finishing touch he also wore white gloves.

"Yet, is it truly? Was fate truly unbreakable? "

Ring

His ears twitched when the door bells jingles, indicating that a customer is coming in. Since the shop only experiences an influx of a handful of regular customers, turning around he was greeted to the sight of a beautiful young woman with a long white hair that were braided in the back, she is dressed in Chiba's standard uniform. A white T-shirt with black and yellow collar and sleeve cuff, along with a yellow necktie, a brown skirt, black thigh highs and white shoes.

"A little bit early to be coming here, isn't it, Kiana?" He turned around from his cutting board and looked at the recent person, he reaches up and took off his glasses, he sighed as he put it on his breast's pocket.

"That's because there was something I wanted to get at the game store early today." The white-haired teen walks up to the blonde-haired cafe manager and puts on a confident smile.

"...Oh?" The owner, Astra, on seeing the grin, feels like he already knows the answer.

"Yes, you see, I timed it perfectly and have been planning this for almost three weeks now. I aimed the target at the nearby 24/7 convenient store down the street. I tracked down every one of the employees and made notes of their personality, work shift and behavioral patterns. Today was the specific day that Mr. Nakamura had a ten-hour night shift. Since he has shown lethargic behaviors during his morning shifts I picked him in particular to be my cashier so that I could buy-"

The unexpectedly shrewd girl reaches into her uniform jacket and pulls out- "-This!" a box with a picture of a small yellow humanoid rabbit, wearing a wide grin, showing their full teeth that were plastered on the rabbit's face permanently, above it three words can be seen etched; "Homu Impact X", or in other words a video game.

'As expected' The older man sighed and looked at the giddy white haired teen with exasperation.

'Though I'm surprised she can be this clever and crafty, usually she would just came here and demand me for foods and then complain about school..... Don't judge books by it covers indeed.'

"Homu Impact III Limited Edition! I've been gunning this down ever since it first appeared in that convenient store! After so long... I finally get to hold it and call it mine." Kiana begins cradling the game like it was her own child while shedding tears of joy.

"...So you spent three weeks getting this.... Vidio.. Games...?"

The white-haired teen nods her head firmly, unbothered by his slightly butchered calling about her precious game, her face was set into a serious visage as she hugged the gamecase closer to her chest.

"Couldn't you have just asked me to buy it for you?"

"But then it wouldn't be considered my child anymore."

"...What about that game.... Homu of Duty...? Or whatever, I bought for you last week?"

There wasn't an immediate answer from her.

.....

....

...

..

"....So anyway, part of the plan involved buying the newly released game in a stack of other objects to pull off attention from the thing I wanted to gift you. Here I bought it for you." Kiana, seeing that she was on a losing battle, straightens hes back and puts the game away only to pull out another game package that he hands to the owner.

"..." The blonde wordlessly takes the game package and looks down at the cover. It shows a picture of a boy, surrounded by five girls wearing high-school uniforms, with flowers in the background. Its title reads "(18+) Otome Game: School Love-fest! Capture All The Girls (With Milfs And Teacher DLC)~!" Astra proceeds to slowly look back up at Kiana with a stoic expression as if to silently say '...Are you serious?'

"Yes! You must believe me Uncle, that's exactly the look the cashier gave me! He managed to focus and completely ignored everything else I bought afterwards. I said I was buying it for my dear and beloved single Uncle Astra and well... here you go!" Kiana let's out a bright smile and gives him a thumbs up, completed with the tip of her tongue sticking in the corner of her mouth and a wink that she sent towards him not seeing that the man was looking like he was suppressing a seizure.

"Can't you just gift me something..... Normal and something that doesn't involved my Love life for once?"

Astra said the last sentence in a dangerous tone as his eyes twitched from annoyance and he felt an urge to hit something, being reminded about his single status is something that always irritated him, his mind flashed briefly about a man with a white hair that is similar to the girl in front of him, the difference being that he has personality that are cold and stiff in nature.

But when it's just him and his closest friends...

'I'm gonna castrate that ramen lover idiot when I get the chan-'

"Nope~!" His eyes gained another twitch when he saw her shooks her head with a dumb smile.

'Dumb... smile..' A faint memory immediately sprung to the front of his mind after describing those two particular phrase, before he then quickly pushes it back to the deepest corner just as it had appeared.

"Papa said that you are always gloomy doomy and needed to and I quote; 'Get laid', and Mama said that I should gift you one of my games if I can, to cheer you up of course! But Grampa Kevin said that you loves playing with woman, and since I don't know what other games involving "Doing it" With a woman besides the adult type of games, I decided to buy one of the 18+ Otome games! With an added SEGS scenes, and you can also choose the route of Milfs or even the teachers! Which ALSO a DLC with another added bonus of SEGS for them and then-"

A cartoonish red vein pops out of Astra's forehead as he hastily picked a nearby newspaper and rolled it, he then raised his hand and bringed it down on the younger girl's head.

Pletaak!

"YOU IMBECILE TUNA!"

"HYAAAA!! I'M SORRY UNCLE!!"

A. U.

Alternate Universe, meaning its not following the same plot, the game, manga or any fanon.

The moment you write a fan fiction, is the moment you should realize, It's already an alternate universe.

So it doesn't matter if you follow the same storyline, and it all ended with the same ending, but with few differences, if it's like that you should just copy paste the entire lore if you are gonna stay loyal to the original plot.
