Xolotl and the Resort

Location: Resort Pool

---

A resort area with an oasis in a desert as its theme. As you look around the vicinity, you can see everyone having fun and enjoying themselves.

Contrary to a tense body and fierce look behind those sunglasses, a "Transient" was sipping on Melon Cream Soda in one hand.

(Sigh)...... Hakumen-sama went to a beauty salon. I wonder what I should do to kill time......

This might be a good opportunity to try out that attraction. If I go by myself, I'll get scared and run away in the middle of it.

I wonder if there's anyone who can give me a slap from behind? Hmm, doesn’t that phrasing sound strange?

It makes me sound like I like being slapped on my behind. I don’t like being hurt, but then there's my personality.

Aaah, Seth-san is so young, yet cool at the same time. I wish I was as cool as him!

So, no matter what happens, I will not disorient myself!

I will show them how Xolotl grew to be dignified and cool this summ-

Agyaagyaaaaieeeeeee!!!! ...... Wah... Waaah. Aaah, you scared the life out of me! Oh, it's [Player]-sama. What could you be doing in a place like this? Did you get separated from your friends? If so, shall I help you look for them?	Dwaaahyaaaaaa! W-Who goes there?! Who touched my tai- Huh, [Player]-sama?! Y-You aggressively touched my tail...... You shouldn't be doing that! A beastman's tail is very delicate, so you shouldn't be handling it like that! Y-You have to be more gentle with it...... So don't do that again!

Huh? You... You came just to see me?! That makes me extremely happy since I was feeling a bit lonely.

N-No, not now! I am a watchdog, I can't afford to make any complaints!

Anyways! It's hot, isn't it? I can get something a drink for you if you'd like.

2 options
I feel bad for making you buy me something.	Can I finish that drink for you?
Is that so? Do you want the drink I have then? If not, I'll go buy you a new one. There's no need for you to be modest about it.	I'm fine with that, so go right ahead. Do you happen to like Melon Cream soda, [Player]-sama? It's good. I just love the green tint it has. It makes me remember about my old friends......

I-Is this okay?!	Is this an indirect kiss?

Biiiieeeeeeee!! S-Sorry about that! H-Here's a clean, new straw for you!

2 options
I was kidding. Thanks though!	Nah, it's fine.
Aaah, please don't tease me like that!	Aaaaaaah, please give it baaaack! [Player]-sama, you're so indeceeeeent...!

(Pant, pant), Xolotl is just like this. I was shamelessly distressed like this......

N-No, um, there's nothing about that! I-I-I was feeling distressed that's all...... Uuu.

I want to be cool just like Seth-san is! [Player], I have a favor to ask.

Please make me an adult!

3 options
You need to re-word that better.	Are you misunderstanding something?	I don't mind being alone with you.
	M-Misunderstanding.....!? U-Um, what the heck do you mean by that......?	J-Just the 2 of us.....?! [P-Player]-sama, you must be scheming something if you're pulling my arm!

No, um, how should I say this. Please help change this coward's personality!

It's pointless to try as it is. It would be pointless unless I put my courage to the test and try drastic measures.

This resort is ranked highly in Tokyo thanks to the popular scream attraction here.

I-I want to become a new man this summer! I want to face new challenges!

I couldn't believe it at first however. I hear that most people enjoyed it.

I have no guts whatsoever, thus my legs freeze up and I end up slipping. [Player]-sama, once again-

Will you go to the attraction with me? I want to become a strong watchdog so I can protect you better.

[Transitioning...]

W-We arrived here at last. We should get in line.

The water slide, "Dive into Hell." The name itself just screams death.

According to what I've heard from Amatsumara-san, the altitude of it is about 300 meters high.

It really is 300 meters high!! It's nearly as tall as a skyscraper!

Uuu... I can't see the bottom, I can't see the bottom at all. Wow, the people look like specks from here.

2 options (Same Response)
You're hopeless.	That's escapism, Xolotl.

I-I'm alright, [Player]-sama. I heard it's better to keep a cool head at times such as this.

According to Amatsumara-san's explanation, the goal should be 2 kilometers ahead. So if we slide down at 60 kilometers per hour, we should get there in about 2 minutes?

Huh, that doesn't sound so bad I think. 2 minutes is fairly short, isn't it?

2 options (Same Response)
That's some amazing speed.	That's the spirit, Xolotl!

Alright, I will not run away, I will not run away! I will be a fine watchdog to protect [Player].

Next~.

... Well, I'm up next. *Deep breaths*. [Player]-sama, please watch over me.

I will face this head on. I will not run away!

Xolotl had a tense look on his face. He moved his feet step by step to the entrance of the water slide.

The opening to the hollow was like the entrance to the realm of the dead; it was the place that Xolotl could not jump into previously.

There's no way I can do it~!!

Ugh, what's the matter?	Don't you want to become a man?

But, what if I get thrown off in the middle of the course?! It would be better if it was a completely tubular-shaped slide-

It's partially open so you can enjoy the various parts of the scenery! I would end up sky diving from the sliders!

Uuuu, I can't get myself to do it after all. I am such a coward. The only thing I'm good at is running away.

2 options (Same Response)
If you're that scared, then-	I'll slide with you.

Huh...... You'd go in the slide with me? But, I'd be a nuisance to you, really......

2 options
We'll overcome this together since I'm scared myself.	It's not so bad once you get used to it.
[Player]-sama is scared as well, yet they came this far with me...... I'm scared, but I think I need to be a little more brave. [Player]-sama is being brave too.	Uwaaaaaah, [Player]-samaaaaaa! Aaaaah!! Sorry, I don't think it's going to be that easy. If you get dirty going down the slide, I don't have a handkerchief to clean it off. I'm anxious about that, but I'm willing to take full responsibility!

It seems we can't use swim rings if we go in the slide together. [Player]-sama, do you want to get in front or behind?

2 options
I'll sit in front.	I'll sit behind you.
So [Player] wants to sit in front of me while I sit behind them. Uuuu..... I'm getting anxious. ( face) The pair prepared themselves well before going down the slide. They felt a firm hug from behind in addition to the screaming.	So [Player] wants to sit behind me while I sit in front. Uuuu...... I'm getting anxious. ( face) The pair prepared themselves well before going down the slide. Xolotl felt a tight hug from behind in addition to him screaming in terror.

When they reached the last stop of the slide, a strong impact struck them from behind, which could be felt all over their body.

Haha, I was so scared, but I did it! I wonder if I'm not as much of a coward anymore?

Are you okay, [Player]-sama? That was a terrible accident! Are you hurt?!

2 options (Same Response)
Hey, Xolotl-san-	Why are holding me in your arms?

Eh? Hakumen-sama ordered me to do this when getting out of the pool. ** Please hold still for a moment longer.

Xolotl was holding [Player] in their arms. When Xolotl got close to the side of the pool, he gently leaped out.

Um, can you wait here for a moment? I'm going to test out the results from the training!

Thank you for waiting. I bought you some Melon Cream soda.

[Player]-sama, y-you and I were- Uwaaaa, i-it would've been impossible for me to go with you.

...... (Sigh), there were no changes in my personality after all......

2 options (Same Response)
You shouldn't rush things.	You managed to accomplish something new. That alone is amazing.

Th...... Thank you so much! I will keep doing my best!

2 options (Same Response)
Wouldn't it be a waste if you got 2 instead of one?	You pushed in 2 straws.

There shouldn't be any problems for 2 people! So here you go, [Player]-sama!

...... Eh? ...... Eeeeeeeeeeh!?

What are you trying to do? Wa...... Waaaaah, I figured it ooout!

The green drink was poured into a glass with 2 straws stuck in.

The two's faces simultaneously got closer to the straws. The surface of the pool was stained by the red sunset.
