Read the original on Hanakagami’s website. This short story is written from Rei/Ryo’s POV.

“What kind of gifts do you think would make men happy?”

It was mid-September when she asked me this question while waiting for the appraisal results in the lab.

“Men, huh.”

Stirring the drug sample in the test tube, I twisted my lips under the mask.

If one were to take her words literally, half of the world population would fall under the subject of her question. Unfortunately, I knew that the true subject of her question could not be anybody besides that one particular man out of the three billion.

In other words, it’s her boyfriend, the stone face working at the Port Bureau of Public Welfare, Drug Enforcement Department, Special Cross-Regional Investigation Team… Namely, drug enforcement officer Makabe Ryo.

Ah, that reminded me. It’s almost Makabe’s birthday.

I have no interest whatsoever in gathering men’s profiles, but in that guy’s case, thanks to the cursed ties between us, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to dig a little deeper.

Maybe that’s why, the mischief was apparent on my face.

“In that case, check out this store. They have quite a collection.”

ピアノフォルテ～君に奏でる甘い旋律～第1楽章 有栖川令音 (Piano Forte 〜Kimi ni kanaderu amai senritsu〜 Vol.1 Arisugawa Reon)

If there’s a drama cd series that deserves a round of applause, that’s Rouge et Noir. I love how every volume it’s connected and everything makes sense. Eventhough I’ve only had the chance to listen to Vol 1 to 3 and Vol 8 bc I’m poor

But I love the characters and the scenarios. Also, the CV’s works are beautiful, they also deserve a round of applause

PSA about In-Blog Search

(a.k.a. how to kind of navigate this blog in a sketch way now that Tumblr has destroyed the search function while dauri cries because she hates bad navigation)

Hi lovelies! 👋 Since the inability to search within my Tumblr was annoying me to no end, I looked into it and realized that yes, it is because this blog is soft-labeled as “explicit.” Fun. I haven’t found a clever way of fixing the search (yet), but there have been a couple of things I’ve realized while “tinkering” with things.

1. All posts tagged after the Great NSFW Purge™ are functioning properly in search. (Most likely because I removed a certain tag. 🤷🏻‍♀️) E.g. search for ‘Kumagai Kentarou’ on mobile. Hilariously enough, the Oyasumi Kareshi 13 post is completely blocked on desktop. (He doesn’t even have nips in the first place, Tumblr!!!! Not to mention female-presenting ones smh)

2. You can view all posts under a tag on mobile if you click on the tag you want to see posts for in the tag section of a post. (E.g. Press ‘hanakagami’ in the tags on mobile of this post and see what pops up.) It won’t work if I create a link for a tag and post it here... with the exception of this magic link *on mobile:

Tag for All Sample Voices (Works on mobile!)

But that’s about it, so far. If I find a way of fixing the search on this blog you all will be the first to know. 

Otherwise, all posts are accessible via my archive. 😘
