[p][/p][p][/p][h3]A First in the Industry! An Innovative Linking Feature with Mahjong Soul[/h3][p]When you turn on the Mahjong Soul linking function, Chibi Ichihime will react to the Mahjong Soul game (Win Client, Steam version and Web version), watching the screen as if she's a spectator. During a match, she will show a variety of expressive reactions at the following moments.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Main Reactions During a Match[/h3]

• [p]When the player wins (agari): She celebrates with you.[/p]
• [p]When the player deals into another player (furikomi): She feels sad for you.[/p]
• [p]When the player calls (naku): She makes a call declaration and strikes a pose, just like in the game.[/p]
• [p]When the player declares "Riichi": She gets restless, eagerly anticipating a win.[/p]
• [p]When another player declares "Riichi": She gets flustered, anticipating a loss.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Reactions at the End of a Match[/h3]

• [p]When the player wins: She celebrates with you (the intensity of her joy changes depending on your rank).[/p]
• [p]When the player loses: She shares in your sadness (the intensity of her sadness changes depending on your rank).[/p]

[p][/p][p]The linking function can be toggled on or off. When turned off, she will return to acting like a regular Desktop Mate character, so you can still enjoy her in the usual way.[/p][p][/p][h3]Important Notes[/h3]

• [p]The linking function with Mahjong Soul is only compatible with the collaboration character "Mahjong Soul Chibi Ichihime." It will not work with other Desktop Mate characters.[/p]
• [p]Due to production constraints, this feature links by capturing the screen of "Mahjong Soul." For security, we do not save any captured images, and the system is designed not to capture any windows other than the "Mahjong Soul" window.[/p]
• [p]The linking function may not operate correctly depending on your PC's specifications and environment.[/p]
• [p]This function was planned specifically for this collaboration campaign and is not guaranteed to be permanently available. Additionally, updates to Mahjong Soul may temporarily make the linking function unavailable. Please be aware of this before use.[/p]
