== Plot ==

==== Noroihime: Curse Princess ====

High school junior [[Suzumu Susuhara]] transfers to a new school in Susuda, meeting up with his distant relative [[Tsubakiko Harumiya]]. Upon joining class 2-A, Susuhara learns of the troubled existence of [[Toé Kurokami]], a quiet girl who always carries a Japanese doll in her hands. Classroom rumors indicate that she is cursed, though Susuhara is quick to dismiss these.

After the credits, the player is given the option to choose the "bringer of calamity", which decides the next chapter. The bringer of calamity can be Kanae Minobe, Tsubakiko Harumiya, or Riria Nunokawa.

 

[[Kanae Minobe]] has a nightmare as Elice, wherein she has a tea party with the [[w:Mad Hatter|Hatter]] and Mr. Rabbit. She learns that the secret to the Hatter's wealth is pension fraud; his mother died a year prior and he lives off of her continued pension checks. Police crash the tea party and the Hatter bursts into flames.

 

In the epilogue, Minobe has an enjoyable time with her clubmates and rekindles her relationship with her mother. During a club meeting, she confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.

 

After a dream, [[Tsubakiko Harumiya]] reflects on her childhood desire to be the "perfect wife", which was hampered by her proclivities towards violence when growing up. This inspires her to visit [[Suzumu Susuhara]] and bring him breakfast, which she overcooks. The pair meet up with [[Natsuya Atsuta]] at the Iwaimoto Shopping District and come across a classmate being bullied. Enraged, Harumiya assaults the bullies and forces them to leave. Immediately afterwards, Harumiya becomes embarrassed and avoids Susuhara for the rest of the day. However, Susuhara finds her after school and expresses his admiration for her actions. While walking home, Harumiya decides to confess her love to Susuhara, however she freezes when she sees a grotesque figure in the distance. A concerned Susuhara leads her home.

 

In the epilogue, Harumiya is welcomed back to school, having impressed everyone by beating Kamenuma and his fellow delinquents. She confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.

 

After an exhausting routine with Flower High School, [[Riria Nunokawa]] rests backstage. She overhears fans of Flower High School critiquing her performance. She then hallucinates a fight between herself and a younger version of herself, Magical Lily. Later, Nunokawa hallucinates Magical Lily usurping Nunokawa's place in the LCSC. The hallucinations continue, with Magical Lily appearing in her home and in her classroom. Amidst her despair, Nunokawa learns that [[Suzumu Susuhara]] is capable of seeing both herself and Magical Lily. Unbeknownst to her, the Susuhara that she is confiding in is actually a doppelgänger created by the spirit of Rokugami's curse.

 

In the real world, a newly-conscious Nunokawa learns of what transpired from Susuhara and Hinagata. She pulls out her smartphone and learns that Susuhara's strike had shattered it. Hinagata shows Nunokawa the glut of positive comments made about her online and discourages her from seeking out negative comments in the future. In the epilogue, Nunokawa purchases a flip phone that is incapable of accessing the Internet. During a club meeting, she confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.

 

After completing the previous three story arcs, the spirit of Rokugami's curse vows revenge on Susuhara. Rokugami speaks to Susuhara, revealing himself to be the divine force behind Susuhara's Divine Tribute Style.
