New Year's 2011 Short Stories

About
At the end of 2010, a short story featuring characters from Alicesoft's Rance Series was published on the company's official blog to commemorate the beginning of the new year. It was separated into two parts, with the first, titled Meanwhile, Year's End Rance (その頃、年末のランス君, sonokoro, nenmatsu no ransu-kun), being released on December 29th, 2010 and the second, titled New Year's: Rance Residence (新年　ランスの家, shin'nen ransu no ie), being released on January 1st, 2011. Set during the dawn of LP0006, the story follows Rance on a quest to find a replacement for the incapacitated Sill Plain as his first sexual partner of the year.

While notable for revealing the canonical fate of the Asakura family following the events of Sengoku Rance, the story also serves as the first piece of official promotion for the game Rance Quest, which was released later in the year. Along with featuring artwork from the game, the story slyly acknowledges the long hiatus between Rance Quest and Sengoku Rance by having Rance repeatedly claim to have not done anything the previous year and insist on being more active in the new one.

Meanwhile, Year's End Rance
Gah, I didn’t get to do anything this year…

“Gobble-gobble, nom-nom, yum-yum,”

No way this can keep up. Next year’s definitely gonna be mine.

Heroes always arrive fashionably late. Yep, I can’t rush things.

Wait, shit, who’ll the first girl I fuck next year be?

I usually always do it with Sill, but that’s not an option right now. My first fuck of the year… Man…

“Chewy-chewy, squishy-squishy, slurpy-slurpy, smoothy-smoothy,”

“Shut up, Athena. Eat more quietly.”

“Tasty orangey-orangez♪ Tasty orangey-orangez♪”

“Tch, must be nice not thinking about anything.”

New Year's: Rance Residence
The year was over. It was New Year’s Day.

Early in the morning, I stood waiting at my front door.

Things weren’t looking good for me when last year ended. I had always started the new year off having sex with Sill, but she wasn’t around this time. So instead, I’ve decided to go after the first girl who sends me a New Year’s card.

Being a man’s about taking action. Even if it’s a little out of the way, I’ll go to the ends of the earth if it means getting to fuck.

I’ve already done my abstinence to prepare.

My patience will make the sex feel even better. Hehe.

I wonder if the mailman’s here yet…

Waiting…　　　　　　　　　　　　　Waiting…

Waiting…　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Waiting…

Waiting…

Waiting…　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Waiting…

Waiting…

* creak*

They’re here! The front door opened! The mail carrier who showed up looked weirdly familiar…

Ryouko Todoroki: “Hiya, Happy New Year. Here are some New Year’s cards for y-”

Rance: “Womaaaaaaaan! I can’t take it anymoooooooore! Lemme do iiiiiiiiiiit!”

Ryouko Todoroki: “Eeeeeek!! Raaapiiiiist!!” *fwoosh!*

Ah, damn, got away…

Tch, lousy bitch. She needs to learn how to do her job properly.

Oh, she left the cards. Good, good.

I almost got carried away there. I need to stick to my original plan.

So, who’s the lucky girl who gets to have sex with me first thing in the new year?

Card number one belongs to…

*fwip*

Right, target acquired.

Athena: “What izzit, Master? Izzit mochi?”

Rance: “I’m going out on some business. I’ll be back tomorrow. See ya.”

Athena: “Uuuuuuh~….. He left.”

*clopclopclopclopclop*

Over rivers,

Through mountains,

And across the bridge,

I rode the high-speed cow carriage I got from Copandon and headed for JAPAN.

・  Yukihime: “Happy New Year father, brothers.”

Yoshikage: “Mm, Happy New Year.”

Brothers×8: “Happy New Year, Yuki.”

Asakura Yoshikage and his family were gathered together in the large hall of Asai-Asakura’s castle.

In the Asakura family, it was customary to give New Year’s greetings to family members first.

After that came a banquet with friends and relatives.

Yoshikage: “I’m glad we made it through another year with everyone in good health.”

Saburou: “Yes, I agree. Especially you, father; you’re as healthy as ever.”

Yoshikage: “Haha. Well, I’d have no choice but to retire if I were to get sick.”

Ichirou: “You’re at your liveliest when you’re working, father. If possible, we’d like you to keep working forever.”

Yukihime: “That’s a step too far, Ichirou. And father, the way you phrased that makes it seem like you actually want to get sick…”

Yoshikage: “Hahaha… Nothing gets past you, Yuki.”

With the number of friends and relatives that needed greeting, there would soon be no time to rest.

Until then, the family was enjoying a short get together.

…Suddenly, the sliding doors burst open.

Rance: “Ta-daaaaaaaaaa! The man of the hour is here!”

Jirou: “Gah! What in the world!?”

Yoshikage: “That’s… W-well if it isn’t Rance-dono.”

Rance: “Gahahaha! Happy New Year!”

Yukihime: “Why… Why are you here…”

Yoshikage: “Rance-dono, I would like to extend to you my most sincere greetings for the New Year-”

Yukihime: “Father, there’s no need to show such courtesy to someone who would barge in so rudely on New Year’s Day…”

Yoshikage: “Come now, don’t say that. That’s simply the way Rance-dono is.”

Yukihime: “That’s… true, but…”

Rance: “I couldn’t care less how you greet me.”

Yoshikage: “Ah, I suppose that makes sense. Yuki, prepare some drinks for us.”

Yukihime: “...Please wait a moment.”

I gulped down the sake that Yuki brought out.

The taste is way different when a beautiful woman pours it. Definitely.

Yoshikage: “So, what brings you to Texas on New Year’s Day, Rance-dono?”

Rance: “Mm, I got an invite. Here, check it out. Boom.”

Yoshikage: “A New Year’s card…?”

Yukihime: “It was from me. As a courtesy, I sent one out to all of our acquaintances.”

Yoshikage: “Ah, you’re good at handling that sort of thing, Yuki.”

Yukihime: “And, also… Because he’s the one who united JAPAN…”

Yoshikage: “Well then, did you come all this way just to thank us for the New Year’s card, Rance-dono? You needn’t have gone through the trouble.”

Rance: “Look at the invite. Yuki wrote that she sends me her best wishes for the new year.”

Yoshikage: “That’s a standard sentiment for a New Year’s card…”

Rance: “In other words, she’s saying ‘Please come do me!’”

Yoshikage: “What…?”

Yukihime: “Huh…?”

Rance: “Gahahahaha! It’s finally time for my first fuck of the year!”

Yukihime: “Wh-what are you-”

Rance: “We’ll be borrowing a room! C’mon, Yuki!”

Yoshikage: “Ra-Rance-dono!”

I brought Yuki into one of the castle’s towers.

Yukihime: “W-what do you think you’re doing…”

Rance: “Gahahaha! Good, this’ll work well. We’ll do it here.”

Yukihime: “Kya!”

With a thud, I pushed Yuki down. As soon as she hit the ground, I took her lips with my own.

Her face blushed red with anger and embarrassment.

Gehehe, she’s super cute.

Ugh, kimonos are a pain to take off. I pulled roughly at her obi.

Yukihime: “Y-you’re doing this sort of thing again… On such an important day… How shameless…”

Rance: “It only makes sense to have my first fuck of the year on New Year’s Day. Let’s start off with some foreplay!” I began caressing Yuki’s body.

As a special New Year’s service, I did 50% more than usual.

At first she tried to resist, but her body gradually started giving in.

Rance: “Hehehe, how do you like my good ol’ fashioned technique, Yuki?”

Yukihime: “N-no… Stop… L-let go…”

Rance: “I wonder what’ll happen if I touch you here?”

Yukihime: “A-ah, th-that’s… Stop it…” Half an hour after I started focusing on the lower part of her body, Yuki’s breathing became rough.

I think she tried to say some stuff when I stuck my Hyper Weapon in, but I ignored her.

Right now I’m in the middle of thrusting up into her from below. Gahaha, she’s really tight.

Rance: “So hot, so wet, etc.”

Yukihime: “A-ah… No… N-no… Aah~... I-I’m doing this… again…”

Urk- I think I’m at my limit. Alright, time for the big finish!

Rance: “Last spuuuuuuuuuuurt!”

Yukihime: “Ah- no, don’t… Pull it out, pull it out, pull it out… Aah, noooo~!”

Rance: “Take my first load of the year! Tooooooooh!”

Yukihime: “Aaaah~!” Yukihime: “Hah… So… Hah... Hah… S-so much…”

I had filled her pussy with so much imperial juice that it was overflowing.

Yuki trembled as tears filled her eyes.

Rance: “Gahahaha! First fuck of the year complete! I got a feeling this’ll be another good one!”

And so, Rance’s new year began.
