Event Quest:Desert Journey:Thunderbird and the Resort

[Translated by Raynald]

Location: Resort Pool

---

An oasis themed resort in the middle of a desert, there was a first-class hotel to heal those who were tired from playing at the recreation facilities.

Artist were holding live performances at the hotel bar, creating a calm atmosphere for the adults.

Dear guest, excuse me. This is a VIP area.

Do you have an invitation?

2 options (Same Response)
Excuse me, I’m looking for someone.	Is Mr. bartender here?

Understood. I will call him, so please wait at the entrance.

Hi, welcome baby. This is a social place for adults.

If a cute baby like you gets lost and wander around, you would end being eaten by a scary adult.

2 options (Same Response)
I’m sorry.	I wanted to meet you no matter what.

Why are you apologizing? Someone insensitive as me is the one who have to apologize instead for being impolite.

Because I caused many troubles to you as a result, baby. As an adult... there is no mistake it’s something I should be embarrassed.

3 options
It’s okay, thank you.	No, that’s not it.	......
...Yes, I expected you to say something like that. Please, don’t forget those kind feelings when you become an adult.

Well then, do you know what kind of place is this?

Here is something like a shelter to comfort hurt adults on sleepless nights.

Perhaps, you also... had having a nightmare?

2 options (Same Response)
I saw a bit weird dream.	It may be something like that.

I see, you had a dreadful experience. It’s okay, this is a safe place.

Because at the very least, there is one adult that would protect you here, baby.

Come, baby. I’ll give you a hug.

2 options
(Hug him)	(Touch his thick chest)
Hey, baby. Don’t you think hugs are great things? They are pleasant and warm. I have the feeling I can feel your heart by touching each other like this.	Muscles are needed in order to fly after all. As you can see, I have confidence in my body. If you say you want to touch it, then I won’t refuse. Touch me as you wish until you are satisfied. Hm? Oops, that’s... Haha, you’re so naughty, baby.

Well then, we shouldn’t stand here talking. If it’s okay with you, would you like to come to my room?

I will treat you with a non-alcoholic cocktail prepared by a professional bartender.

The place where the bartender guided you was one hotel room with a bar counter.

What an amazing room!	Staying in a room like this.	It seems bartenders are amazing.

The compensation gets better as I am hired by first-class hotels as a bartender, but I wouldn’t stay here just for that.

A client has quite the interest in the furniture of this room. And I needed to stay in this room.

1 option
Is that client Hakumen-chan?

She happened to open a social place called Tokyo Casino, and I got to intimately know her a little as a bartender.

A request that her previous pushy self would have refused, but she accepted this time like this.

Lately... I can see how she changed a little. What changed her? I’m also interested.

Also... there is one more reason.

I needed to stay close in order to protect the peaceful sleep of the people staying here.

Excuse me for getting off track. As I promised, I’ll prepare you a cocktail.

The bartender took out a cocktail glass with a practiced hand and put some ice, cooling the glass.

2 options (Same Response)
What are you preparing?	Is something staring?

I would like to say that you would understand if you just observe, but I will give you a hint. The ingredients are lime juice, grenadine syrup——

Sugar syrup... and lastly, club soda. Do you know what you can make with this?

He also put some ice inside the shaker, then he put the ingredients estimated with a measuring cup one by one, using a bar spoon.

After putting the ingredients, he covered the shaker with a strainer, covering the top even more.

Just when that process ended, the bartender finally began to shake.

It’s great that you could see my work before you become an adult, baby. You won’t see students and adults as if they live in different worlds.

The refreshing sound of the ice ringing clink-clank could be heard
as the bartender was shaking the shaker.

After shaking it around fifteen times, the bartender took the ice from the glass——

Pouring the orange colored liquid inside the cocktail glass. After pouring and stirring the club soda, a fresh air wafted in the air before one’s eyes.

Sorry for keep you waiting. It will be a summer delight.

It has a pretty color.	I feel like an adult.

When (Player) drank the summer delight, a refreshing taste spread inside their mouth.

Cocktails are nice, aren’t they? Doesn’t it feels like it got us closer?

Haha, I guess I’m being too hasty, right? Oh, that’s right. It might be an embarrassing topic, but are you familiar with the language of cocktails?

2 options (Same Response)
Language of cocktails?	Like the language of flower?

That’s right, something like the language of flower. Cocktails have a hidden meaning by themselves.

For example, a carol has a meaning close to a confession, “I offer these feeling to you.”

Some people use this to communicate, like “this is from the customer over there”, is quite common.

There may be things you can’t do in a bar, but I think it’s possible to use this as a method to transmit your feelings.

...I like cocktails. Above all the culture I met since I came to in this Tokyo.

A culture that shows complex feelings words couldn’t describe. I wish I could... teach this to “that person.”

2 options (Same Response)
Something about your past, Mr. bartender?	Can you tell me more about it?

...Sure thing. If I can comfort your sleepless night, baby.

There was one man in the past. A man that laughed when everyone was sad, and was sad when everyone was laughing.

Therefore, he was alone. That way of living was hard to comprehend for the others after all.

However... a friend of that man knew it. It was something that came from his kindness.

Staring at the happiness of someone neglected in the middle of sadness. Crying for someone neglected in the middle of happiness.

That way of living was already for the sake of someone alone in the world. Everyone else talked about behind his back.

The man left the world at the end of loneliness... without being understood by people, and being avoided.

The friend that was left behind thought, his way of living... was the lifestyle of a “hero” that shines brighter than gold.

And, they thought about succeeding that lifestyle. Even now... that friend is living inside that man’s dream...

2 options
Could it be that “friend”——	.......
(Shhh)

Well then, I guess I’ll drink one too. Hoping for gentle dream of those who are alive under the same night’s curtain.

2 options (Same Response)
Can you make a toast with me?	I wanted to be treated with one carol.

Let’s cheer praying for your success from now on, Baby. I’ll prepare my own drink right now, so please wait a moment.

The bartender prepared a red-purple colored cocktail. The cocktail glass he was holding——

Touched (Player)’s cocktails glass as if they were recognizing each other.

A clear tone that would make you forget about the summer heat resounded inside the room where the two were.
