I’ve finally completed the main routes for both Alan & Roy Mason in the JP server (which took me 5 YEARS to finally figure out how to get access to that version!) and completed Rintaro’s (EN & FR servers) and Naoki’s (FR server) main routes as well so here’s what I learned about these guys from their stories:
* Has a sister named Machi, who is 14 years younger than him. He loves his little sister dearly… to the point where he’d do anything - and I mean ANYTHING to find and protect his sister by any means necessary, including using MC/Protagonist’s (a.k.a. “Nanao Hiori” - default name in both the French and Japanese servers) feeling for him to complete his objective.
*Rintaro’s mother is the only female character displayed physically throughout the SSS series (and not as a silhouette like the other guy’s moms)
* He’s definitely not fond of the Kira Brothers, especially Minami Kira, who he seems to have a low-key rivalry between them when it came to winning the affection of MC.
* He’s hates pollen… and yet is an expert at flower arrangements (go figure!)
*He’s fluent in German and is excellent at snowboarding.
*From what I can ascertain throughout his series, Rintaro has got what I called a “Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde” complex; he’s nice to you in your face and a total asshole behind you back! (See SSS Covert Christmas Plan Event - Murayama’s route for reference).
* Overall, Rintaro is a pretty level-headed guy, but has NO PROBLEM calling you out (or even throw hands👊 - this guy can definitely hold his own in a fight!) if the situation calls for it! Case in point: In Chapter 2, Rintaro went IN on Toma Kira (mind you, every employee at the JP Branch is afraid of getting on Toma’s bad side at the risk of their jobs!) when he found out he sent MC to the mountains to pick up some rare plants during a bad snowstorm and risking her own life in the process!
*Loves to do DIY projects ever since he was a kid - he once built a robot out of everyday items for a school project (see SSS Trip to the Past event - Naoki’s Route)
*From what I translated in the French version, Naoki’s father was killed in a car accident, and because he at that time was the sole income provider, his mother worked double time as a maid to provide for her and her son. However, one day, they were on the verge of losing their home and being out on the streets… until Keiichiro offered them a place in his home in exchange to work and serve the Kira family. I assumed that his mom worked as head housekeeper to the Kira’s until retirement, and Naoki started working for the Kira’s at age 14.
*He’s always looked up to Keiichiro Kira ever since he saved them from being homeless… and takes a STRONG offense to ANYONE who says anything negative about him. Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if he wishes Keiichiro to be his dad instead… but that’s just my opinion.🤷🏾♀️
*Naoki absolutely can’t STAND to work with people who are dumbasses (Who does!?😂)… but also has a thing for brown-haired, brown-eyed, cute girls… and that’s where MC comes in! She’s a combination of a cute brown-hair and brown eyes beauty with the common sense of a grade-schooler, according to Naoki. 🤣I’ve lost count how many times those two would bicker with each other (like 2 angry Corgi’s fighting over a chew toy)… yet, it saddens me how many times Naoki manages to shoot himself in the foot whenever he had an opportunity to confess his feelings for her (see all past story, voting, and gacha events references) without calling her a dummy… (🤔🤔🤔Hmm… come to think of it, that sounds a LOT like a certain CEO of LFG from Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice!).
*Overall, Naoki is known as a prim & proper/perfectionist sadist for a reason! He pretty much does just about everything perfect from flower arrangements, tea ceremonies, Japanese calligraphy, the proper way to serve food and beverages to the hotel guests (and KNOW which type of beverage pairs well with which type of food!), you name it! The only thing he not perfect at doing is knowing when NOT to be such a dick to MC when it came to matter of the heart.
*If during the TV game show “Fear Factor,” you place Alan in a box filled with bugs, and he has to stay there for no less than 60 seconds… he’d be screaming bloody murder and want out of ther in 2.5 seconds! That’s how much he hates bugs!
*Hates being ignored, especially by his parents, who are usually a lot more stricter with him than they were with his older brother Roy (there’s a reason for that! See Roy’s info at the bottom👇) ever since they were kids. Because of this, his relationship with his parents deteriorated throughout the years growing up, especially when he saw how his parents dotted on Roy a lot and let him get away with things that he himself would be punished thrice over for.
*His housemaid, Helen, was the only adult who loved and cared for Alan growing up… until the day she quit working for the Mason family.
*Has a stuffed teddy bear named Candy from his childhood.
*After finally getting sick and tired of being in Roy’s shadow for so long, Alan decided to open up a new clothing business venture for himself (and hopefully start a new legacy for himself… and to finally get his parents’ praises). Mei Tarantino was his “first customer” when he needed an outfit to perform for a wedding event. In the English version (via Minami’s route), he owns a womens lingerie business (I think it’s also the same in all the other versions, but this is what I have so far).
*When it came to his elder brother, Roy, he’s never had the ability to stand up to him… until that faithful day when Roy demanded to take MC from him in exchange to keep his clothing business and to protect MC’s future as a concierge for the RS British Branch (even almost got into a physical fight over MC!)
*Alan is not called the sadist puppy dog for nothing! Just one look at his bright, golden brown, pleading eyes would have you doing his bidding in no time!
* Overall, Alan is as sweet as a Yorkie puppy… but possessive and territorial like a Rottweiler when it came to MC. I mean, for crying out loud; from what I translated between chapters 1-3 (I used the on-screen translator app), this guy threatened to put a collar on MC and tie her up to the bedroom if she ever disobeyed his orders of not working anywhere else other than in his suit room without getting his permission beforehand!
*After finish reading his route, I figured out what type of sadist he is: A Sadistic Prince.
*Throughout his route, he seemed to have a thing for anything related to a prince or princess (like you see in fairy-tales) which may explain why he loves treating his women like they’re princesses (though, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a player himself… but that’s just my opinion 🤷).
*His main route is the shortest out of all the other guys’ routes in the SSS series - only 7 chapters (not to mentioned how easy it was to obtain his CGs without having to pay platinum points - the only downside is that I couldn’t get the premium S1, 2, & 3 items there or his perspectives).
*From what I can tell from his 2021 birthday scenario and his 1 CG from his main route, he seemed to have a fettish to licking things, especially MC fingers and legs.
*Like in Minami and Mei’s routes, he met MC when they were kids (MC thought Roy was lost and helped him find his parents not knowing that he had ran away from them to escape the pressures of being an heir to the Mason family).
*He and Alan both studied Japanese at a young age, hence the reason why Roy was able to communicate with MC easily when he first met her.
*He always has this princely air about him being the eldest son and heir to the Mason family. However, this guy’s carries more drama and secrets than even Rei Shindo in his main route! For instance…. (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT BELOW⚠️)…
… From what I’ve translated, Roy’s real blood type is O, not AB like Alan’s (one of the biggest secrets he kept from Alan for years… and probably why their relationship went sour over time). And why is that, you may ask? Well, it’s all thanks to Mrs. Mason and her extramarital affairs, which resulted in Alan and Roy not having the same father.
***This is all I can get from Roy and Naoki’s stories for now! Hopefully, once I get through their sequel routes, I can get some more info on them. Until then, this is all I have on these guys.😄😄😄💖💖💖
