Ibara Hime - Playthrough (Part III)Warning: Spoilers. R18 Story.Finally for the last playthrough of this game~! There are only 2 more endings to go, and they’re Mizuki-focused ones.Ending 3(Note: This ending can be reached by Ririko wanting to meet Itoh after she had gone to school secretly on Saturday. However, due to options catering more to Mizuki, Ririko’s relationship with Itoh isn’t that good enough to reach the “Itoh” ending. The criteria are pretty much similar to ending 2 in a way.)Ririko texted Itoh that she wanted to meet him, and he replied soon that he’s going over to meet her. Ririko let him know that she was not at home and was instead waiting at school. Itoh replied that he was at the train station and would return to school to look for her. As Ririko waited in the classroom for him, she looked out of the window as she pondered what she should do since she did not want to return home tonight. Since it won’t be good to stay over at Itoh’s house, she planned to have him accompany her at the karaoke, and later on staying overnight by herself in an internet cafe or a business hotel. The time was 3PM when she noticed Mizuki running back towards the school. She gasped and quickly texted Itoh to ask if he’s coming here alone. (She’s worried about whether Itoh had let Mizuki know about her whereabouts.) The reply came from Itoh that he’s coming here alone, but Ririko noticed that Mizuki was also texting from the window. She felt that something is weird since there’s no way Itoh would lend his phone out to someone else, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence to her. She also wondered why Mizuki was returning back to school and started to get wary on who was the person she was actually texting before, the “person” who replied that he was at the train station… Getting worried that Mizuki might find her before Itoh does, Ririko knew that she had to run away and hide. She ran out of the classroom that “Itoh” and she had promised to meet, but trying to open the doors of other classroom proved to be futile, as they were mostly locked. Ririko finally found an empty abandoned classroom in the end, that hardly has any furniture at all. She hid in the shadow of a cupboard and decided to call “Itoh” to find out the answer to her suspicions.Ririko heard Mizuki’s voice as he picked up the call. Trembling, she demanded to know why Mizuki was the one answering the phone when she had called Itoh. Mizuki replied that Itoh had things he had to attend to at home, and thus entrusted his phone to him. That definitely does not sound normal to Ririko, as she went on to ask on Minato’s whereabouts. Mizuki replied that Minato had gone home too and that he had revealed that he had sex with Ririko to Minato and Itoh at the train station. This revelation almost made Ririko faint, being heartbroken that her boyfriend and best friend had known about the truth. Mizuki noticed that Ririko wasn’t at the classroom where she promised she was waiting in for Itoh and asked her where she was. (He had arrived! D:) Ririko hurriedly hung up on him and even turned off her phone in fear, wondering what she should do now since she can’t go home nor turn to her boyfriend or friend. Knowing that the door to the classroom she was currently at was not locked, Ririko worried that soon Mizuki would realise where she was hiding. As she was still panicking and planning what her next step should be, Mizuki found her. Ririko, being scared of him, cried at him not to get close to her and that she only wanted to meet Itoh. Mizuki smiled as he asked her why had she not understand the situation they were at now, claiming that he can’t live without her, and will destroy any obstacles standing between them. Ririko continued to cry and reject Mizuki, rebutting that Itoh was the person she likes. Mizuki deemed Itoh as a rival who had snatched Ririko away from him and even lectured Ririko that if she had broken up with Itoh earlier on, he won’t have to resort to using such a method (erm… like raping her =w=“) to get her for himself.Mizuki continued on that when Itoh had wanted to punch him when he knew about the truth (Itoh actually did get angry here?! =w=“), and in return kicked Itoh a few times. (A Demon! This was literally what Ririko thought about Mizuki since he still hurt people and even steals Itoh’s phone during the commotion. On another note, Minato accompanied Itoh as they get away in the end.) Ririko felt that there was really no saving of Mizuki, seeing that he had raped his own sister and even hurt his friend physically. She blamed herself since she had avoided Mizuki, which might cause him to end up this way. Mizuki asked her to take responsibility by loving him back since Ririko is now the only person that can make him feel sexual lust. With that, Mizuki forcefully kissed Ririko and slid his hand under her uniform. He reminded Ririko of the past where she saw him having sex with another girl in her bedroom, and when she had remembered what had happened at that time, Ririko ended up feeling disgusted and vomited on the floor. She pushed Mizuki away, asking him not to touch her and asked him if he had done that on purpose in the past, wondering why Mizuki was smiling happily at her. Mizuki revealed that he was already sexually in love with Ririko at that time, and Ririko thought to herself that it was not her fault that she was scared of her brother after seeing what had happened. This was all planned by Mizuki and thus Ririko blamed all of that had happened on him instead. Mizuki continued on that it was hard for him to stop his feelings when he was young and decided that he shall reveal his true feelings to Ririko instead. After that incident in the past, even though Ririko had avoided him, and he felt bad that Ririko didn’t even see him in the eye, he still felt better now that he doesn’t have to hide his feelings anymore. He had initially tried to have sex with other girls by pretending they’re Ririko, but he realised that even pretending wasn’t enough to make him cum anymore. He was glad that Ririko wasn’t interested in other guys since she’s a fan of manga and games, and was even confident in his sex skills that Ririko won’t be able to find anyone better than him in that area anymore. (??? Why are you so confident in this seriously?!!)Ririko had enough of his nonsense and made her escape. She didn’t even want to be family with Mizuki anymore since her body and mind was rejecting Mizuki with all their might. She heard Mizuki calling her name as he ran after her, and quickly ran up the steps to the rooftop, in hope of getting help from Ezaki Senpai.However, when she reached there, there was no one at the rooftop. Mizuki caught up to her and apologised, saying that he won’t do anything weird to her in school and pleaded for her to go home together. (Not doing it in school doesn’t mean that he won’t do anything to her at home, I’m not believing you Mizuki! D:) Ririko refused and claimed that she would rather die than to be touched by Mizuki again, to which Mizuki calmly asked her to die instead. He continued that Ririko must have not know how terrible he had felt to hide his own feelings from her when he was so close to her, and how hurtful he had felt when Ririko refused to look at him in the eye when he revealed his feelings to her. Ririko rebutted that Mizuki had decided to like her by his own choice, stating that he was just doing what he likes all this time, be it being soccer or girls, and thus did not see him as struggling and in pain. Mizuki explained that he puts in his all in soccer since he wanted to use his soccer skills as a career in the future to support Ririko financially, as he wasn’t good at studying. But his answer made Ririko felt disgusted seeing that he had already planned for his future with her, saying that she didn’t want him to plan her future for her and that he can always find a rich lady to support him using his good looks if he needs financial support in the future. Mizuki replied that such a situation was not possible since Ririko would always be the only girl he likes, and he would never fall in love with another girl. (And all the other girls were just an outlet for him to vent his emotions… Damn I feel bad for the other girls that he had dated before D:)Ririko refused to listen to Mizuki and stated that she wanted nothing to do with him since she doesn’t like him romantically at all and just wanted him to leave her alone. (Mizuki is seriously sounding like a stalker, pleading her to fall in love with him ><”) Seeing that Ririko was expressing that she would rather die than being with him, Mizuki said that his troubles with her might be solved if she dies too, and offered her an option in the end - to decide which one of them to jump down from the roof of the building. Ririko started to hesitate, which made Mizuki taunted her to kill him since she had rejected him with all her might. Ririko replied that she found it hard to decide and that if Mizuki could return to just being her younger brother, both of them won’t have to die anymore. But Mizuki simply shook his head and said one of them had to be gone. Ririko noticed that Mizuki had started crying, and realised that it’s been years she had seen the crying face of her brother. Mizuki revealed that he had always hated being seen as a twin of Ririko when they were young, since they were not, and had always wanted to change himself to be different from her. His wish was granted when he started growing up alot faster than Ririko, but he ended up feeling bad instead, seeing that even though his appearance had matured, his inner self still longed for his other half - Ririko. He had felt suspicious when he was young that their parents had decided to try for a baby right after Ririko was born, which resulted in him and Ririko being just 11 months apart. But this was all possible, and the more Mizuki had researched about having sex while one is still pregnant, the more he realized that it was the truth that Ririko and he were related by blood. (Guess he wanted a proof that Ririko and he aren’t really blood-related siblings, I guess he didn’t want to commit incest either D:) Mizuki continued on that he had touched Ririko at night when they were still sleeping together when they were young, and that was also the first time he had cummed in his life. Their parents had known about this (Dad? Mum?) and did not reprimand him about it, though he noticed that they had looked at him differently after that. Mizuki had felt bad about that, and life became difficult for him as he struggled with his own feelings while listening to others commenting about Ririko and him being twins and siblings normally. Even though Ririko had heard such comments multiple times in her life too, she did not feel terrible about it, though she does feel complex being compared to Mizuki. Mizuki reached out to her, touching her cheeks, then sliding down his hand to touch her neck, and then her chest. Even though they’ve been really close when they were young, she can’t help but to feel disgusted by the hand that was touching her now, and murmured out Mizuki should be the one to die instead.The words had flown out naturally from Ririko’s mouth, and as Mizuki continued to touch her, Ririko started to feel more irritated and agitated at Mizuki. If Mizuki had not existed, Itoh and her would still be together happily. If Mizuki had died, he won’t have to feel troubled over his feelings for her anymore. Mizuki agreed though he asked Ririko to remember that the reason he’s committing suicide was not that he was escaping from “his future from now on”, and rather he was just fulfilling what Ririko had wanted him to do. He looked at her with his beautiful face, as he continued that Ririko was the one who had chosen to “run away”, and that he won’t leave Ririko even if he had died. Until the day Ririko had died, Mizuki would make her cry countless times… Mizuki confessed his love for Ririko one last time as he jumped over the railing of the rooftop, and then disappearing from Ririko’s sight as he jumped down the building. (Bye-bye Mizuki…. though Ririko still tell him that she hates him even until the last second before he jumped.)Ririko bid goodbye to Mizuki after he was gone, though she felt that her life was most probably going to be the same as before even if he was gone. They did not see each other much before in their daily life as they spend most of their time in the house in their own room (other than mealtimes). Mizuki had not existed in her daily life up till now since they did not hang out together, nor talk much to each other. It had always been like this and shall remain like this in the future…After Mizuki’s death, Ririko soon realised that she was pregnant. She took a year of sick leave from school and went out to the countryside, only to come back to resume her studies after giving birth to a boy. She had not told anyone who the father of the child is, as the child was Mizuki’s son. Ririko felt that perhaps she had become weird after the whole incident with Mizuki. She saw herself as the one who had killed Mizuki, even though Mizuki’s death was classified as a suicide in the end, and had shut herself in Mizuki’s room every day, mourning for him. She had killed her own family, her own brother, a person who was barely even 20 years old. When the parents realised that Ririko was pregnant, they forgave her as they were still deeply hurt and saddened by Mizuki’s passing. For the future of Ririko’s child, the parents had decided to adopt him and thus he was considered a stepbrother for Ririko in papers. Ririko had broken up with Itoh and cut ties with Minato too. Ririko guessed that the two might have realised what had happened in regards to Mizuki’s death, but they did not reveal anything to the police during investigations. Ririko had decided to give birth to the child as a way to forgive herself and to overcome the guilt in her heart. This was the “hope” that her brother had left behind, which she felt that she should accept it no matter what. The child was Yuki, and called Ririko by her nickname “Riri” (similar to how Mizuki called Ririko). He was bright and cheerful and had also joined the soccer club at school. Yuki knew that Ririko was his mum, as even though they were step-siblings on papers, Ririko had cared for Yuki as a mother, and even breastfeed him when he was a baby, not hiding the truth from him. Ririko had gotten over from her mourning of Mizuki when she realised that she was pregnant with Yuki, and after giving birth to Yuki, she worked hard at her studies and even managed to continue onto studying at a university. After she had graduated, she landed herself a temporary job that allows her to work until three when Yuki was still in kindergarten. Ririko’s life now revolved around working and doing household chores in the family. After Yuki had gotten home and taken a shower, Ririko noticed him peeking at her phone in the living room, reading a text from someone. She asked him who had sent a message to her, as she was alright with her son looking at her phone. Yuki told her that the message was sent by Itoh. Ririko and Itoh were all now approaching 30s, and the two had exchanged numbers after meeting up unexpectedly recently. Itoh was still the last and only person she had dated, and seeing that both of them were still single, Ririko can’t help but remember her fond feelings for Itoh after meeting him again after all these years. Yuki asked Ririko who Itoh is, which she decided to let him know that Itoh was someone she had dated before after hesitating. Yuki was confused since he knew that Ririko did not like guys, to which she replied that she had seen Itoh as someone she doesn’t dislike and that she still values her family members even if they were guys. Ririko grabbed the phone away from Yuki as she was planning on replying to Itoh, but Yuki pouted and told her to wait for another “2 years”. Ririko tried to assure him that Itoh and her weren’t going to be in a relationship, stating that the latter probably hates her. Yuki doesn’t believe it though since Itoh won’t send her such a message if he had hated her. Ririko glanced at the message and saw that he was inviting her and even Yuki out for a meal together. She assured Yuki again that Itoh was just an old friend, and was also the friend of her late brother. Yuki refused to let Ririko went out with Itoh, claiming that he’s not going to give Ririko out to another guy. Ririko guessed that her son was probably just being jealous at the thought of his mum being snatched away, and smiled, thinking that perhaps her son was just a mother-con. She promised him that she won’t meet up with Itoh, telling him that she only needed him.Suddenly, Yuki apologised to Ririko for making her wait, telling her that she would only need to wait for another 2 more years for him. She looked at her son blankly and realised that Yuki had grown up looking alot like Mizuki. She started to feel puzzled on why Yuki kept talking about waiting for “2 years”, and Yuki started talking about how he had failed before and was determined to succeed… to which he meant having sex till the end, though he wasn’t confident of his skills. (My face seriously went “What the…” when I read this OAO”) Ririko started to feel that her hands and legs had gone cold as she wondered who on earth is the child that is standing before her. The child told her that he knew that Ririko had given birth to him, the child of her brother, the child that was not allowed by the gods and had loved and cared for him. She had chosen him. (Probably meaning that Ririko had chosen Mizuki in the end by giving birth to Yuki.) Ririko denied as she panicked, thinking who could have told Yuki about him being the child of Mizuki as she had not told anyone before. She thought of Itoh and Minato, but she had already begged both of them not to reveal the truth in the past. The child spoke again, saying that he had told Ririko to remember that he was not escaping at that time and that he would stay with Ririko until the day she dies. This was the future that Ririko had chosen, the future of him and Ririko, and that he had felt terrible for being loved by Ririko as a mother would for her child. With that, the child silently smiled, a smile that looks eerily similar to Mizuki. This was the moment that Ririko realised the mistake she had committed, she had killed her brother, but she did not kill his child. She had cared for the child as part of her responsibility, to wash away her guilt that her brother should not have died at that time. Ririko fell to her knees, crying out for forgiveness from the god, from Mizuki, from their parents, that she had given birth to a cursed child. “Please take note Ririko. I’ll never give Ririko up to anybody. If you reject me, I’ll destroy everything.”(Seriously this ending really gave me the goosebumps, what a scary ending TWT)Omake - Ending 3This was named as the “Yuki Ending”, and was one of the few endings that actually revealed what happened in the future. Even though this was quite close to being a true ending, the writer decided that it was considered a bad ending in the end. This was one of the endings that Mizuki had actually expressed his feelings the most since he usually won’t reveal much of his actual feelings out to Ririko actually. (I think other than this ending, probably ending 4 was the other ending he expressed much of his feelings to Ririko honestly.) The writer also stated that this ending was one where Mizuki was the most stalkerish. Yuki’s presence in the ending was also debated to be one that is considered a lucky or unlucky creation. (Lucky as in Mizuki did not actually die but sort of reborn as Yuki I guess….) It was stated Yuki was the name of a male lead the writer had initially planned for another story - Ijime Kekaku, which is the story which developed into what Ibara Hime now. This ending was the ending of that story, which was stated to be way scarier. (I’m sort of curious but won’t dare to read if she ever published it ^^;)  Even though Ririko did not die in any of the endings in Ibara Hime, Mizuki felt that this may be the only ending which Ririko might die in the near future (probably committing suicide cause she can’t deal with the guilt anymore). Mizuki wondered whether Yuki had loved Ririko due to the blood flowing in him, and perhaps he had derived of the truth of his birth after learning about Mizuki from their parents, or listening to Ririko sleep talking as she does sleep talk in her sleep. Mizuki clarified that even though Yuki was his child, he’s not Yuki. So, rather than Ririko being by Yuki’s side, he would rather that she comes to his side instead. (Can you imagine if Ririko dies in the future, and then Mizuki comes to fetch her in the spiritual world? It just seems like her nightmare would never come to an end D:)Ending 5 (Mizuki’s Ending)(The story up to the ending branch is pretty much the same, some of the options do reveal some interesting things about Mizuki.)Near the beginning of the story, asking Itoh about Mizuki leaving home 30 minutes earlier revealed that Mizuki had come earlier to practise by himself. Itoh remarked that Mizuki was hardworking even though he’s more talented than others, and was already a regular when there are 30 seniors in the soccer team. (Poor Itoh may not have a chance to be a regular until at least the third years had graduated.) In the morning after Mizuki had sex with Ririko for the first time (when she was sick), Mizuki told Ririko that she had avoided him after seeing have sex with other girls on her bed because she had complex feelings about him. Ririko asked herself if it’s true, did she have some feelings for Mizuki that she’s feeling weird to see him dating other girls? Mizuki is her blood-related brother, even if they look different now, Ririko knew that there were some parts of them which were similar to each other. She told Mizuki that they were siblings until the day they die.What goes on was Ririko remembering what had happened three years ago, when she witnessed Mizuki having sex with another girl on her bed. She was afraid after knowing of Mizuki’s feelings towards her at that time and decided to avoid him so as to escape from his feelings towards her. Soon, avoiding her brother leads her to treat her brother as if he had not existed, and her feelings towards Mizuki warped towards one with some sort of rejection and dislike in it. They’ve been close siblings ever since they were young, and Ririko was glad that Mizuki was her only brother even if he’s popular among other girls. But… at that moment, Ririko realised that her brother had chosen another girl for the very first time. Seeing the brother showing a side she had never seen before made her felt that she was betrayed. She had always thought that Mizuki belongs to her, but at that moment, Mizuki had belonged to another woman. The person before her had become someone she did not know anymore, and she denied him as the brother she had known. The person before her was just another man who desired her body, on her bed, in her bedroom. It seems like Ririko had already realised Mizuki’s feelings for her and had treated him as a man who desired her sexually from a very long time ago…As Mizuki pushed Ririko down onto the bed again, she questioned him why does he decide to have sex with her now after three years, thinking that it’s all too late since he did not choose her in the very beginning. Mizuki answered that even though it will be easier to lay his hands on Ririko in the past, Ririko was too childish in his eyes at that time. He was afraid of being separated from Ririko if his parents had known that they have sex together. The reason why the siblings did not bath nor sleep together at a certain time when they were young was that their parents had spotted Mizuki masturbating by Ririko’s side, and this was why they arranged Mizuki’s bedroom to have a lock so that Ririko would not accidentally come across Mizuki masturbating in the future (and thus he can masturbate in peace =w=“). Even though the parents had seen Mizuki masturbating, they did not think of it as Mizuki having feelings for his sister, though Mizuki will still worry that if they had known about his feelings, they would definitely do something about it. After learning about what their parents had done, Ririko calmed down. She can’t return the feelings for Mizuki since that would mean that she would betray her parents and end up hurting Minato and Itoh. Sensing Ririko’s worry, Mizuki smiled as he assured her that they would be able to keep their relationship a secret and hide from their parents well. Mizuki had planned to use his skills in soccer to attain a spot in a university in Tokyo, asking Ririko to come with him when the time comes, and both of them would be able to stay together by themselves. Ririko tried to rebut that it’s impossible for siblings to fall in love with each other, but Mizuki pleaded for her to accept his feelings since he really loves her and would never want to give her up to another guy. Ririko replied that even though she didn’t want to betray their parents, she loves Mizuki too. Knowing Ririko’s true feelings, Mizuki assured her that everything would be alright since he would handle everything well from now on. Ririko argued with him that even if they love each other, they won’t be able to announce their relationship, and she won’t be able to date anyone else as long as she has feelings for him, wanting to know Mizuki’s reaction to that. Mizuki assured her that he will only have feelings for her and wanted her to do the same for him, and both of them decided in the end to break off their current relationship and apologise to Minato and Itoh. Even though Ririko had accepted Mizuki’s feelings, she still wished that Mizuki will fall in love with someone else in the future, getting married and have a child with another girl. When the time comes, maybe she would also get married and have a child too. Perhaps their children would be able to be together if they fall in love with each other since cousins were allowed to be in a relationship and marry in their country. Mizuki asked to kiss Ririko for one last time, and they continued to have sex for one last time before hiding away their feelings for each other once again. Even though Ririko had felt disgusted once for having sex with her brother, but now… she felt happy and blessed for having sex with her beloved. After a night of having sex together, Ririko went for shopping on the next day, met up with Mizuki unexpectedly at the train station (since he had finished his club activities), then decided to walk home together. Both of them had called Minato and Itoh respectively yesterday night and broke off their relationship, though they did not reveal the reason for doing that because they were in love with their sibling. The siblings had returned back to being close siblings who love each other romantically in their hearts as if what had happened in the past three years was all just a lie. When they reached home, they realised the door was unlocked, and thus knew that their parents had returned home. Their parents were deep in a conversation, with their mother getting angry about something that had happened in their hometown, and said that Mizuki was her child and she’s not going to give him up to anyone else. Realising that something was amiss, Mizuki decided to ask them what they were talking about. Their mother was crying, and thus their father decided to explain what had happened to them. As their uncle had passed away (which is why the parents had to leave and attend the funeral), their grandmother had requested for their aunt and nephew to stay with her in accompany. This may sound like nothing to do with Mizuki, but it turned out that Mizuki was actually their aunt’s son, whom she had given birth to when she was 18. As the family did not know who the father of the baby is at that time and since the aunt having no income to take care of the baby, it was said that she had abandoned the baby after giving birth to him. Ririko’s mother was the one who had chosen to take care of Mizuki and treated him as her own child and thus was not willing to give Mizuki back to his biological mother. Mizuki decided to reveal his feelings to their parents, telling them that he wanted Ririko for himself, and was glad to know that he was not blood-related to her now that he had realised the truth of his birth. Since Mizuki had even planned to marry Ririko in the future, he asked to revert to being cousins with Ririko and be given independence so that he can become stronger to be someone compatible for Ririko. However, this would mean that Mizuki won’t be able to stay in this home anymore and have to go back to stay with his biological mother. Ririko’s mother initially refused to, stating over again and again that both Mizuki and Ririko were her children, but after listening to their father asking her to respect Mizuki’s wishes, and assured her that their family bond won’t get broken that easily even if Mizuki isn’t part of their immediate family anymore, she agreed reluctantly in the end. Mizuki apologised for wanting things to be done his way, but he really loves Ririko and wanted to do anything he can to be with her, stating that it was hard for him when he was in love with her. Even though he felt pitiful that he had to abandon his current parents, he knew that if he marries Ririko in the future, they were all be a family again. (His biological mother is just someone he can use to make this future a possibility.) Mizuki was glad to know that he’s not abnormal since this was an issue he had struggled with for a very long time, thinking that he might be a narcissist for falling in love with his sister. Even though it may be another 2-3 years before Ririko could even stay with Mizuki, they now look forward to the future where they can stay together by aiming to get into the same university together. It’s been a short week, but the relationship between Ririko and Mizuki had changed dramatically, from falling in love with each other and becoming cousins in the end. Even though they would be away from each other for a period of time, Ririko told herself that everything would be alright, since she knew that Mizuki would be the only person she loves…(Seems like Mizuki and Ririko are finally together and they’ll be able to attain their happy ending…. or not.)After a month, Mizuki left their home and went to stay with his biological mother, transferring to a private school making use of his good soccer skills. The couple called and texted each other to continue on their relationship. One night, just before the phone call with Mizuki, Ririko head off into the living room, where she spotted her father drinking and watching the television.Ririko’s father remarked that he did not expect that Ririko and Mizuki were still dating even though they were in a long-distance relationship, and felt weird since he had always seen them as a pair of siblings who are close in age just a while ago. He was worried that they were planning to marry each other and asked for them to break up and date other people instead. Ririko had felt weird and wondered why her father wasn’t pleased to have Mizuki as a son (in-law) again, to which he repeated for them to break up again, stating that they were still blood-related. (Hmmm?!!! OAO”) Ririko initially thought he was referring to them being cousins and reminded him that cousins were able to get married, but he decided to reveal the ultimate truth about Mizuki’s birth to her - Mizuki was her father’s child, so ultimately, they’re still siblings.Ririko was in a loss of words and thought about all the information she had known about their family history. She knew that Mizuki’s mother was her aunt, and not her mother, which means that Mizuki was the child of her father and her aunt. She demanded an explanation from her father, and he reluctantly revealed that he and their uncle (the one who had passed away I supposed) had tied their aunt (which is actually their sister so what the….) up and raped her one night when they were heavily drunk. That ended up making her pregnant and gave birth to Mizuki. Even though Ririko’s father denied having feelings for his own sister now, he was not able to restrain his sexual urges at that time and thus it troubled him now to see that Mizuki was feeling the same as how he did in the past. Now that Ririko had known the true identity of Mizuki, her father hoped that Ririko would give up on their relationship since they were still half-siblings. But Ririko calmly replied that she had long decided not to care whether Mizuki and she were blood-related or not anymore, and firmly declared that they’re going to get married no matter what. Ririko’s answer shocked her father as he grabbed onto her, begging her to give up on the relationship. However, Ririko taunted her father back not to cause a commotion since her mother might end up divorcing with him if she had known the truth. She even added on that if her father had not wanted to continue the mistaken, he should have punched their aunt’s tummy when she had shown signs of being pregnant from the very beginning to erase Mizuki’s presence. Knowing how troubled Mizuki had felt towards their forbidden relationship in the past, Ririko knew that Mizuki would definitely be very depressed if they were siblings again after what he had done to make sure they were considered cousins in the society. So in order to protect Mizuki, Ririko decided to hide the truth. She thanked her father for taking care of Mizuki as his own son and complimented that Mizuki had turned out to be an excellent person, putting his weird fetish aside. Realising that it’s almost the time for her daily phone call with Mizuki, Ririko head back to her room, knowing that Mizuki would definitely kick up a big fuss if she was late as he was easily jealous. Hearing Mizuki’s cheerful voice over the phone, Ririko vowed to bring happiness to her beloved. She knew that their aunt was glad to hear of their relationship when they told her they were in love with each other, and thus there won’t be any objection from that side for their future. However, Ririko told herself that she decided to have only one child with Mizuki, as she did not wish the fate of falling in love with their sibling to fall on her child ever again. (In the end, this is still considered a bad ending for Ririko, though it’s more of a bitter-sweet ending.) Omake - Ending 5 (Mizuki’s Ending) Ending 5 is yet another true ending (other than Itoh’s ending), and is an ending which revealed Mizuki’s birth finally. Even though this ending seems like the happiest ending, it ended up being bittersweet in the end, since rather than cousins, the siblings turned out to be half-siblings. Mizuki still felt that this was his best ending though since he could be with Ririko and marry her as cousins. He was also thankful to their parents for taking care of him ever since he was young.Finally, the writer revealed that she had created this game in around 4 months, and stated that before Ibara Hime, she was writing another short story called “Ijime Kekaku” (as mentioned in another omake), which is about a girl landing herself in an all-guys school. She revealed some information about that story (not going to translate much of that since it’s kind of complicated), but ultimately some parts of that story, especially the part of the male lead being yandere and good-looking, was what that made into the final story of Ibara Hime. Also, you readers might have realised it by now, Ibara Hime did not have a happy ending for Ririko, as this game was planned to be a helpless tragic incest love story from the very beginning by the writer. -- source link
