About the Game

Special Thanks

This game is made from "SMILE GAME BUILDER".

Features

The story is a continuation of "Mademoiselle Kshatriya".


Not only Brahmana but also Azhdaha appears again in the game.

It is a 20 minutes short movie rather than JRPG game, though a very important turning point is waiting for the player.

Characters

  • Cherubino

A poor boy living in a small village.


Cherubino didn't notice the real reason why local government is willing to give TV to poor families for free. And they usually turn on TV in the night because the electric charge for TV is free. They think TV can be used for a lamp in the dark. The point is that they are too poor to pay for the electric charge of a lamp.

For good or for evil, Cherubino was selected by Brahmana for his plan.

Why did Brahmana select Cherubino?

The answer is going to become clear in the ending.

  • Brahmana

A key character in the game.

Brahmana talks to Cherubino through spiritual world but Cherubino doesn't see Brahmana with his eyes like a spiritual entity.

He is trying to do something good or bad by using Cherubino as one of his tools.



But his hidden attempt will not be in the light until the ending.
