Amatarasu Riddle Star - Extra Route Hire

 

As stated in the previous blog post the three additional routes are added via the 18+ DLC content patch which you can get off Steam as well as the distributor's website. The previous blog I spoke about the route for Rina which was Yua's older sister.

In this route selection I decided to go with Hire. Hire was portrayed as an android like character that took care of Kokoro. She was the right hand person and personal maid servant to Queen Kokoro and in some way was head of the Card Soldiers. She is very strict and seems to have a small grudge against Takaya due to the circumstances between his past with Kokoro and their current situation.

This particular path seems to start after Takaya is accepted as an aide to the Queen and to help her in her day to day duties both inside the school and outside the school. This starts out however as a trial period and Hire is to show him the ropes and train him to become a helpful aide. This of course leads to some incidents between Takaya and Kokoro which could be seen as intimate or at least leading to intimacy of sorts. 

Of course those feelings aren't actually there to say that he doesn't have feelings like that for Kokoro but Hire sees it and decides to take matters into her own hands. Through a series of events Hire ends up teasing and forcing Takaya to be a bit more submissive to her and Takaya finds a side of himself doesn't quite hate being that way with Hire, but in a turn of events he finally does turn the table on Hire.

Eventually after he flips the tables on Hire she admits that over the few weeks and month or so they have been together she has found herself having feelings for him. Takaya has realized that he has feelings for Hire as well and so they decide to make it official.

The story arch ends prior to them really telling anyone about their sexual relationship that ends up with them being in a more romantic and stable relationship so don't expect any filler here. The story was short and direct to the point which is pretty much like all three of them but this one seemed to be a bit more direct and short than the other two. Personally I didn't mind Hire's character and thought that this route was pretty interesting and well planned out.

All in all I can say that this route was well done and one that I was happy to go through. The H-scenes aren't bad either, while I did feel that they kind of kicked the main character down a little, I think the point was to play to Hire's strengths then to focus on her weakness towards the end.
