When discussing the short story(s) for each volume, let’s figure out:

  • When in the books’ timeline this short story takes place, and
  • When a new reader should read the short story for best “timeline flow” (i.e., after which volume and/or chapter.)

@Mods Could one of you make the home post a wiki? Thank you!


菫の誘惑: What an interesting, yet somehow worrying story. :rofl: This is from Alonso’s POV, set after Kaito’s left for England, so probably somewhere early in between volumes 12 and 17; probably best place to read it would be after finishing volume 13. Anyway, Alonso’s hooking up with a married woman he apparently hooked Vicente up with, and he’s trying to get details about what happened between them. Yes, really. :rofl:

Two reasons: one, Alonso’s pretty worried about his friend and wants to try to distract him from Kaito, and two, Alonso apparently has a theory that you can tell what a person’s true character is like if you see them in bed. He’s apparently contemplated asking Vicente to bed before himself, but he doesn’t want to accidentally ruin their friendship over it. Honestly, Alsonso is quite a bit to untangle here: he wants a deep, unshakeable friendship with Vicente, and isn’t above considering unorthodox methods to reach that goal. Honestly man, you’ve spent more than 0% of your time considering your friend’s sex life and what he might be like in bed; I think you might need to sit down and consider if you actually want to be more than just friends. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, nothing happened between Vicente and the woman; he’s still so depressed over Kaito’s leaving that he apparently just couldn’t summon up the interest. I love having these Alonso POV stories, and I wish we got them in the main books; he’s got so much going on up in there you won’t see otherwise.

Wiki made, thanks!
