     Note: I don't have this game or a PlayStation,
     thus I can't verify these hidden commands.

     (I typed up this file as a "fan service" for the
     Aoni Pro seiyuu fans out there.)

2.   HIDDEN COMMANDS

     *Yaoi alert! Run for your lives!*

   - Unlock Master Zero.

     Begin a New Game. Difficulty can be Normal or Advance.
     After the demo movie, and while the game is saying
"Anata no Goshujinsama wo erande kudasai" ("Please choose
your Mistress"), press L1, R1, L2, R2, Start.
     When successful, Master Zero appears amongst the Goshujinsama list.

   - Hear Master Zero.

     As above, but press Square, Triangle, Cross, Circle, Start.
     When successful, the player can hear Master Zero's
voice, but he doesn't appear amongst the Goshujinsama list.

     *Flame-bait alert!*

   - Recruit Zero.

     When the player can't or doesn't unlock Master Zero, Master Zero can still appear in the game and join Abel's cause.
     Begin a New Game. Don't choose Mistress Courreges (CV: Shimakata Junko) or Master Zero as Abel's Goshujinsama. Abel has to recruit Courreges before he can recruit Zero.
     In Chapter 4, choose "Gomen. Saki wo isogu kara."
     In Battle 1, to recruit Courreges (alias Oscar), i)
don't kill Oscar; ii) kill the bandit leader; iii) don't
kill more than three bandits; and iv) don't damage any
slave.
     To recruit Zero, make sure Oscar is the only female
chara when fighting Zero. Then he'll join after the battle.

     OTOH, if the player chooses "Sou dane! Sou shiyou.",
Abel can recruit Domina (CV: Hidaka Noriko) and Michette
(CV: Miyamura Yuuko, alias Maki, the former adult video actress).

     (Amongst Abel's Mistresses' CV, I like Shimakata Junko
and Yamazaki Wakana because they voiced Katou Mika chan and Yokoyama Megumi san, respectively, in the Sotsugyou series.)

   - Unlock Master Zero's Diaries.

     (I don't know if Abel can still unlock these diaries if his Goshujinsama isn't Master Zero?)

     Diary 1

     Location: The shelf beside the fireplace.
     Condition: During spring to summer, while fishing,
catch a Nushi.
     Or, during summer to autumn, while in the field,
perfectly cut 15 logs or plants.

     Diary 2

     Location: The box or chest beside the bedroom.
     Condition: During spring, while cleaning, perfectly hit the number of mice.
     Or, while cooking, remaining time is 3+ seconds.

     Diary 3

     Location: The shelf beside the broom.
     Condition: During autumn, while in the field, hit 60+ moles.

     Diary 4

     Location: The box or chest in front of the bookshelf, bottommost in the screen.
     Condition: While washing, remaining time is 5+ seconds.

     Diary 5

     Location: The master's bed.
     Condition: While hunting, catch the fox that wears clothes.
