In the weeks since Ryu first appeared on the 2-chan forum, the speculation over whether his princess was actually Hiro Yanagida’s cousin grew to fever pitch. Ryu eventually returned to the forum under his Orz Man avatar.

Hi guys. Don’t know if any of u who were on the thread I started a while back are online. Blown away by the way u guys have jumped on my story.
Just wanted to say thanks again.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Orz! Cool to have u back. So????? Did it work??? Did u get yr princess? 
NAME: ORZ MAN
Simple answer: Yes. We r now together.
[This is followed by at least a hundred variations on ‘w00t’, and ‘u r such a Bad Ass Mutherfucker/Boss/Man/The Dude’ etc. Ryu goes on to explain how he sprayed an ORZ symbol outside Chiyoko’s house to get her attention, much to the Netizens’ glee.]

Orz. Got to know. Is the princess Android Boy’s cousin?
I was waiting for you to ask me that… I’ve been following some of the threads. I can’t confirm for obvious reasons.
NAME: ANONYMOUS890
Orz, u met Android Boy yet?
NAME: ORZ MAN
See above. _|7O
NAME: ANONYMOUS330
How hot is the princess, dude?
NAME: ORZ MAN
How to answer this and be honest…
When I first saw her… She wasn’t the person I thought she was. But somehow, that didn’t matter.
NAME: ANONYMOUS765
So she’s the fat chick who was at the memorial service and not the one who looks like Hazuki? Bummer, dude.
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
Welcome back, Orz. Ignore 765
NAME: ANONYMOUS762
Dude, get to the good bits. Have you done her yet????
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
Don’t be crude. Let Orz Man speak
I’m going to sound soppy here, but guys, being with her has changed my life.
Even though she is a princess, we have more in common than I thought possible. She has also had a hard time in the past like me. We have the same views on everything: society, music, gaming, even politics. Yeah, we have heavy conversations sometimes!
Even started telling her stuff I haven’t told anyone before.
She helped me find a job at a Lawsons outlet, so I now have some money coming in (not much, but enough to keep me from starving).
This is going to sound lame… but sometimes I have this dream that we are married and living together in an apartment and we never have to go out.
NAME: ANONYMOUS200
Aw. Yr making me jealous here, Orz.
NAME: ANONYMOUS201
Sounds like lurve.
NAME: ANONYMOUS7889
Come on, Orz Man, tell us about Hiro. Have you met his surrabot yet?
NAME: ANONYMOUS1211
What does he think about the Cult of Hiro?
NAME: ORZ MAN
Guys, no offence, but this is a public message board and I can’t talk about this in detail. The princess will freak out if anything I said got into the magazines.
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
U can trust us, Orz, but see yr point.
NAME: ORZ MAN
Let’s just say that a certain person is soothing to be around. Not like anyone I have ever met.
That is all I am going to say.
NAME: ANONYMOUS764
How often do you see the princess?
NAME: ORZ MAN
Almost every night. Her parents are kind of strict, and they wouldn’t approve of her seeing someone like me so we have to sneak around.
There’s a small children’s playground opposite her house and I wait there for her. There’s an apartment block next to it, so sometimes I feel like I’m being watched, but I can stand it.
NAME: ANONYMOUS665
Orz smokes another cigarette, waiting for his princess to come out and join him. He knows he looks cool. Maybe tonight will be the night. Some of the neighbours look out of their windows at him but he knows they won’t mess with him. He flexes his muscles and they disappear.
NAME: ANONYMOUS9883
The ice princess runs out of the door wearing nothing but a short dress that is see thru…
The princess falls into his arms and she doesn’t care who is watching her…
[The thread is disrupted by graphic descriptions of a sexual nature]
NAME: ORZ MAN
*blushes*
Can u imagine if she ever read that?
NAME: ANONYMOUS45
Dude, tell us that you did it with her for reals.
NAME: ORZ MAN
I got to go. She’s waiting for me.
NAME: ANONYMOUS887
Orz, don’t leave us out of it. We’re there with u every step of the way. A geek getting a princess? How often does that happen outside of galge?
NAME: ANONYMOUS2008
Yeah Orz u owe it to us to let us know how the story goes.
NAME: ORZ MAN
I know. Knowing u guys are there for us makes all the difference even if you are deranged sex fiends.
It’s good to know we r not alone.
