Touhou Little Maid: Heart Pact

Touhou Little Maid: Heart Pact - Introduction

Heart Pact is a romance and family expansion for Touhou Little Maid. It turns a maid from an adventuring companion into someone with whom you can build a long-term life: talk, give gifts, grow closer, confess your feelings, propose, hold a wedding, share sleep, raise a child, and keep making ordinary days meaningful together.

This is not only a collection of intimate actions. Mood, personal boundaries, work fatigue, relationship progress, daily companionship, little-maid growth, study, exploration, family ties, spirits, and revival are all part of the same continuing life with your maid.

Getting Started

After launching the game, open Options -> Controls -> Heart Pact and check the keybinds:

Interaction Key: Default Alt + J. Opens the interaction screen for adult maids and little maids.

Headpat / Lift Key: Default Alt + K. Headpats a sitting adult maid, or lifts a standing little maid.

Rhythm Judgment Key: Default J. Used during rhythm gameplay in post-marriage sleep events. It can also be configured to skip rhythm gameplay.

The mod settings include player-facing options such as maid addressing, little-maid addressing, harem mode, interaction camera calibration, rhythm skip behavior, debug options, and other compatibility settings. The in-game Heart Pact Guide can be used again at any time for the full tutorial and feature reference.

Affection, Relationship, and Mood

Heart Pact follows Touhou Little Maid affection and adds relationship-gated interaction content.

0-31: Start by talking, giving suitable gifts, and spending time together.

32+: Headpats become available.

64+: Hugs become available.

128+: Kisses and deeper romance content begin to appear.

192+: Marriage content becomes available when other requirements are met.

If an option is missing, first check affection, ownership, adulthood, sitting or sleeping state, current relationship, and harem restrictions.

Mood has five broad tiers: depressed, low, normal, happy, and Master Love. It is not only a display value. Positive affection gains are reduced or unavailable when mood is low; normal mood gives standard gains, happy mood improves gains, and Master Love improves them further.

Mood also affects reactions. Repeated headpats, hugs, kisses, rude jokes, and over-intimate actions may be refused when she is upset or exhausted. A refused interaction gives no affection and may gently push the player away; this is a boundary response, not a bug. Talk with her, give an appropriate gift, let her rest, or wait for her mood to recover.

Continuous WORK schedules build fatigue. The longer she works, the more likely mood and affection rewards are affected. Resting, sitting, sleeping, or leaving the WORK schedule gradually clears fatigue and helps recovery.

Daily Interactions

The adult maid interaction screen contains daily chat, gifts, headpats, hugs, kisses, confession, marriage, and other context-sensitive actions. Daily dialogue pools cover casual conversation, weather, daily life, worries, rest, future plans, family topics, and more. Many interactions use expressions and emotion actions rather than only text.

At lover stage or above, the first daytime interaction of a new day can trigger a special Morning Kiss scene. Your maid takes the initiative, giving a small, sweet beginning to the day.

Hugging opens related actions such as kissing, continuing the hug, and letting go. Story-triggered intimate poses are protected from normal mood rejection so a cutscene will not be interrupted by an inappropriate knockback or refusal.

Confession, Proposal, and Wedding

Heart Pact uses a complete romance route rather than treating marriage as a single ring click.

1. Confession

After reaching the romance requirement, your maid may gather the courage to confess. Respond to her sincerely to become lovers and receive the Heart Pact advancement. Confession scenes use dedicated expressions and action timing; they are the beginning of the relationship, not the wedding itself.

2. Prepare Two Proposal Rings

Craft Proposal Rings with a diamond and an iron nugget. Marriage requires two brand-new, unbound Proposal Rings.

For the proposal engraving step, place one ring in the maid's main hand and one ring in the player's off-hand. Do not put both rings in the player's hands. Open the maid panel when the story asks you to prepare or check the rings, then continue only after both positions are correct.

3. First Engraving: The Proposal

The first ring step records the proposal. It is not yet the final marital vow. The two rings become your proposal-marked rings, and the story can continue toward the wedding. If the rings are already bound to another proposal or do not belong to this pair, the process will stop rather than consume the wrong items.

4. Dress Her for the Wedding

Before the wedding, make sure the maid is your adult maid, affection is at least 192, your inventory has room, the two proposal rings are ready, and you have the Cherry Blossom Wedding Dress.

During the wedding story, choose the option to dress her for the wedding. The maid panel will open: place the Cherry Blossom Wedding Dress in her chest armor slot, then confirm that she is wearing it before continuing. The wedding vows do not continue until the dress requirement is satisfied.

5. Vows and Final Exchange

After the wedding vows, the same proposal-marked rings are used again for the final exchange. Put them back in the required hand positions if the story asks you to check them. This second engraving turns the proposal into the final oath: both names are bound to the rings, the exchange is completed, and she becomes your wife.

The final exchange, thanks, vow kiss, and ending scene are part of the wedding sequence. An Oathbound Ring is not a normal craftable ring and cannot be reused to propose to someone else.

Gifts

Gifts are given from the interaction screen. Each player can normally make up to two successful gifts per day.

Flowers and Rainbow Bouquets mainly improve closeness. Sweets such as cookies, cake, pumpkin pie, honey bottles, sweet berries, apples, and golden apples are especially useful for soothing a poor mood. Meals such as bread, cooked meat, cooked fish, stew, and Sauce Duck steadily help mood recovery. Diamonds, emeralds, ingots, amethyst, quartz, lapis, and netherite scraps are valuable gifts that are accepted more readily at closer relationships.

Rotten flesh, spider eyes, poisonous potatoes, pufferfish, bones, and similar items may upset her or reduce affection. Proposal Rings, YES Pillows, hairpins, guides, debug tools, and marriage documents are not normal gifts.

Married Life, Sleep, and Pregnancy

After marriage, your maid receives a YES Pillow. When she sleeps in a maid bed and the player is near a valid vanilla bed, post-marriage sleep content can trigger. Some events use rhythm gameplay; the player may use the rhythm key, or use the configured skip option.

Normal sleep pregnancy chance begins at 20%, rises by 5% after each failure up to 50%, and guarantees pregnancy after eight consecutive failures. Rhythm gameplay uses a separate 0%-60% chance based on score; skipping or timing out counts as 0 score and does not use the normal-sleep guarantee.

Pregnancy has a 2% chance of twins. Gestation length, little-maid growth length, and postpartum recovery are server common-config values, so multiplayer servers may use different timings.

Little Maids and Family Life

After birth, the child becomes a little maid. On her first day she cannot be placed on the ground; her mother will hold her and provide matching feedback. The default name is Little Maid. While she is still an infant and has not been renamed, her name can be chosen once.

Little-maid interactions include headpats, lifting, asking her mother to hold her, chatting, and gifts. Adult daughters also have their own family-oriented dialogue instead of simply reusing an adult maid's normal conversation pool.

The Family Tree Viewer can be used on a maid to show her parents, grandparents, spouse, and direct children in chat. The Marriage Consent Form transfers guardianship of an adult child maid to another player; it is not a direct marriage item. The new owner must build affection and progress the relationship normally.

If a born little maid dies, she may remain as a spirit. Soothe her, help her remember home and family, guide her with a soul lantern, bring her near her mother for family scenes, and build Longing through daily soothing and suitable offerings. At high Longing, a revival route may become available.

Little-Maid Tasks

Little maids can study and work only during the maid's WORK schedule. Sitting, sleeping, and rest time pause task progress. Required materials must be in the main hand or backpack.

Enchanting Study uses books and gives enchanting-related rewards.

Alchemy Study uses glass bottles or potions and gives potion-related rewards.

Tactics Study uses swords, axes, bows, crossbows, or tridents and gives combat-related rewards.

Exploration uses a stick. Higher affection reduces empty returns and injuries while improving reward quantity and rare finds. Very low mood stops exploration.

Low mood and fatigue reduce task quality, so caring for a little maid's daily state matters as much as supplying materials.

Camera Calibration and Guide

Different maid models can have different heights, head bones, and camera positions. If hugs, kisses, or lap pillow do not align well, open the relevant interaction screen and use the pencil button near the exit button to adjust camera scale and vertical position. First-person view is recommended while calibrating. Saved camera settings are local to the player and do not affect a server or other players.

The Heart Pact Guide follows the selected story language and explains relationship stages, mood and fatigue, gifts, rings, wedding dress requirements, sleep, pregnancy, family systems, little-maid tasks, spirits, and troubleshooting in more detail.

One-Sentence Summary

Heart Pact is a long-term Touhou Little Maid relationship and family journey: from ordinary conversations and shy first confessions, through a two-stage proposal and wedding vows, to sleeping beside one another, raising a little maid, and building a home that keeps growing with both of you.
