Event Quest:GoGo! Remote Island Expedition:VN:4-2

[Translation by Kukuru]

Location: Mysterious Island

I-I’ve brought the new materials. This should be everything that you need.

Oh, thanks, Asterius! Now, if you could secure it tightly for me please.

R-Right……! Okay, this should be good.

Oooh, you’re just like a vice! That’s awesome, Asterius!

Eheh…… I’m glad to be of service……

Alright, let’s start right away -

Emerge – Mechanized Masterpiece!

Feeling the iron ore with his right hand, Kurogane produced something shiny.

It then quickly changed into the form of a hammer.

2 options (Same Response)
…… Wow, how did you do that?	Your right arm……

Ah, I simply extracted the “hardness” from the iron ore. I then “concentrated” it into a usable form.

Oh, you don’t understand what I’m saying? It's okay, I don’t understand why either!

Too bad I can’t remember how exactly it works. It would be very convenient if I did.

Well anyways, this will turn out amazing. Oh, since I’m older than you, you can refer to me as your senpai.

You can refer to me as “Kurogane-senpai.” …… In return, I will refer to you as Junior.

Mhm. Okay…… let’s move on.

In an early afternoon, Kurogane was working on the banyan house.

Asterios took care of the physical work, while Kurogane handled the technical work.

They built the furniture for the home one by one. The two was shown to work well together as a pair.

3 options (Same Response)
You two work well together.	Asterius, I thought you were afraid of strangers?	You two are like partners.

…… I-I’m a little surprised. I’ve always been living alone…… I wasn’t sure if I could handle it.

B-But…… When I’m with a friend, I don’t feel as nervous……

2 options (Same Response)
We’ve been together for a long time now.	We’ve spent a lot of time together now.

………

………

What are you saying, [Player]? We’ve just started living here.

Well, we have been comfortably living in this house for a while now. It would make sense to think that.

3 options (Same Response)
No, that's not it.	It’s like we’ve been here for a very long time.	That’s hard to believe……

I understand why you would think that but, you should still distinguish your opinions from objective facts.

Although, it has been a few days, the amount of time passed does feel like an illusion.

T-That’s right, Sensei. It does feel that way……

[Player], what is everyone trying to say? Are we trying to figure out how long we’ve been living together?

Hahaha, Kijimuna you’re still a child. A small amount of time passed does makes it feel like it goes by very quickly.

To those who brought it up, the amount of time passed is still very short.

Huh……? Is that how it works?

When I was young, there were a lot of things I was interested in. When you dedicate yourself to those things, time will fly by very quickly.

When you get older, you’ll realize how fast time passes. There’s no need to be impatient.

It feels like a rather long time. You should be happy that you’re still a child.

Alright, let’s cut the chatter here. Everyone, please gather around the teacher.

Now that everyone’s gathered together, we need to go over what we need to do.

We’ll need to stock up on food and materials. It's to prepare for any unexpected situations later.

Kijimuna, Asterius, Kurogane and [Player], I’ll leave it to you.

I’m already used to it from doing this every day. After we finish, we should all go for a swim!

Hey, Kijimuna. Wouldn’t Sensei get mad if you’re not being serious about this?

Don’t worry, Kurogane. I’ll do my best with Asterius. He’s very strong and he can help me.

T-That’s right. After we finish, we’ll go for a swim together.

Woohoo! Asterius is the best!!

Oh boy…… I’m at a loss here……

I wonder if I’m capable of looking after the youngest child here……

In the meantime, I will continue where I left off yesterday of investigating the island.

1 option
…… Sensei, did you find something about the island?

Hmm…… I’ve yet to confirm it.

I’ve found traces of life here – I believe there are other people here on this island.

2 options (Same Response)
……! I'm going with you.	I want to investigate the island as well!

[Player]?

I’m afraid not. It’s too dangerous. I will not put a student in danger.

Procuring food is a very important task. You should not abandon-

3 options (Same Response)
But, I want to go home!	How long will we stay here?!	Professor, how else will I get back home?!

[Player], you……

[Player]. I understand how you feel, but please try to stay calm.

Triton-sensei doesn’t want to put us in danger. He’s just worried about you.

…… On his own judgement, if you were to get hurt-

1 option
…… Sorry for the outburst.

…… No. I did not consider my own student’s feelings.

I understand how much you want to go home! But, please try to understand-

2 options (Same Response)
I need some time alone.	I need to cool off.

Hey! Where are you -

I’ll go after them. Please leave it to me, Triton-sensei.

…… Alright.

Following Triton’s words, Kurogane went after [Player].

…… Being a teacher is difficult. I feel the things I’ve been saying is becoming a bad habit……

Don’t worry about a thing~ Kurogane will help calm the child down.

Hahaha. Thank you, Kijimuna.

That’s just like you – I feel reassured to be your senior.

There’s nothing we can do. Let’s just continue on for now.

S-Sensei, please rest for a while. We’ll do our best on our part.

Ah…… Yes, please do.

[Player] ran out of the banyan house and walked alongside the beach.

Ever since they washed up on the island – they wondered how many days have passed.

Meeting Kijimuna and Triton, then meeting Asterius a few days later. Not too long, they met Kurogane as well.

2 options (Same Response)
Even so -	It feels like I’ve been on this island for a long time……

Their memory still has not returned yet. They did not know what they were doing beforehand.

2 options (Same Response)
I just want to go home.	I want to get off the island.

???:( face) Aha, so this is where you ran off to. It’s a bit dangerous to be that far from your home.

2 options (Same Response)
Kurogane-san……	Did you come after me?

Yep. I also thought about taking a short walk around here.

There’s no need to be quiet, you can talk to me. I’m willing to listen to you, okay?

2 options
…… Alright.	Please leave me alone.
Thanks. I promise I won’t get in the way.	Well, I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t just leave you by yourself.

[Spans to Kijimuna and Asterius in a dark forest]

Ooooh! Look what I found here. Asterius, look look, a big mushroom!

A-Ah…… That’s nice, Kijimuna.

…… Everyone is so gloomy. Is going home really that important……?

……. I-I’m enjoying living on the island but, to be honest…… I’m not really sure.

.........

What about you, Kijimuna? Did you have a thought about it too……?

The gajumaru’s roots are fixated onto this island, I can’t leave. I can’t leave the island with you all.

You really like being here right? Don’t you want to stay here with me……?

I've been living on this island for a very long time…… I’m not sure how it feels to go home that badly.

Kijimuna......

Even so, I thought I would be the only one here. Here…… on this island.

To be honest, I was sleeping for a long time. I think the island has changed a lot since then.

Kijimuna, that’s -

…… !! I think it’s someone’s smell!

S-Someone’s smell……? Well, Triton-sensei did say that-

Come on, Asterius! There might be new students here!

H-Hey! Kijimuna! Don’t run off by yourself, it’s too dangerous!!

T-This is a…... village?!

Yep! It’s definitely a village. My suspicions were right!

Come on, Asterius! Let’s be friends with everyone-

Something’s not right! The village is way too quiet……

Quiet? Maybe everyone is sleeping-

I’m not sure…… We should head on back.

…!! Kijimuna, look out!

Guh!!

Oh my gosh!! Asterius! What happened?!

Quiet! Something’s here! There might be someone else on this island other than us……!

Asterios:( face) OOOOOOOOOOOUGH!!

[Spans back to Kurogane and the Player]

I see, this gravel……

Kurogane is taking interest of the scenery around the island while following [Player].

What’s up, [Player]? You suddenly turned your head back. Do you still want to go home?

3 options (Same Response)
Where……?	I heard a voice……	…… No, it’s nothing.

…… It’s already evening. By the way, something seems to be on your mind.

Alright, spill the beans. Tell me what’s bothering you.

2 options (Same Response)
…… I can’t really tell you.	I’m just…… worried.

Whatever crazy story it is, I’m willing to hear it. Just tell me what's bothering you.

Think of me as a scientist. I won’t laugh at your stories.

You can trust me! I am your senpai after all.

1 option
…… Hey, Kurogane-san.

Uh huh…… So that’s what happened this morning.

I think I understand. It does feel like we’ve been living here for a long time.

Unfortunately, everyone else doesn’t think that.

Eh? What are you thinking about?

1 option
I’m just worried that…… they might think I’m crazy.

I see…… So that’s what’s troubling you.

Alright. Come over here. Yeah, over here. Don’t be shy!

They did not understand what’s going on. They slowly got closer to Kurogane.

Yeah, there you go! Just close your eyes for a bit……

There there. I understand how you feel. There’s no need to be afraid. I know how much pain you’re in right now.

I’m here for you. So is everyone at the school.

It’s okay if you want to cry. It’s perfectly fine to cry if you’re feeling tense.

…… Sorry. Even as your senpai, you probably don’t trust me.

Kurogane gently stroked [Player]’s head and hugged them tightly.

Warmth was being transmitted. Their sorrow were being passed down onto him.

3 options (Same Response)
(Cry loudly)	(Cry silently)	(Say thanks)

Don’t worry – You can share your problems with me.

How are you feeling now? Do you feel better after letting it all out?

Eh, I misunderstood it? You don’t have any emotions? …… That’s awfuul!!

Anyways, we’ve been living together for quite some time. To be honest, it does feel that way.

What you’ve said this morning, I thought of it too.

Oh right, I finally remembered something that I was supposed to tell you.

It’s just one thing. I think the island itself is strange.

When we were thinking about gathering food and materials, I noticed something off with the island’s formation.

The alignment shouldn’t be possible. The vegetation here doesn’t make sense either.

It’s almost like someone forcibly merged multiple islands together.

1 option
Multiple…… islands……?

There are traces of other things “washed up” on the island’s soil. It’s almost like a flood struck here a while ago.

…… Something’s different about the island. It’s not just you. My senses told me so!

We’ll find the truth about this island. I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

Even if you and I can’t do it alone…… With everyone at the school, we can accomplish anything!

2 options (Same Response)
Kurogane-senpai……!	Thanks, Kurogane.

With the sunset behind him, Kurogane smiled.

But, the island itself is truly strange. The formation here is truly intriguing, no?

…… That’s?! L-Look, [Player]!

In the direction where Kurogane was pointing at, there was a piece of lumber buried.

It was evident that the manufacturing was man-made.

Some writing is etched on here. This is – my handwriting?!

It's written the same way! There’s no doubt about it, it’s my handwriting.

Hm, uh huh…… The first day after I disappeared……

It’s at least a hundred. I’ve been here on this island for at least a hundred days now......

2 options (Same Response)
What! !	How could that be-

You were right, [Player]. Isn’t it strange how we don’t remember that?

Kurogane’s expression suddenly changed, prompting [Player] to look over their shoulder.

Kurogane forcibly pulled [Player] away from the opposite direction.

Tch! That’s-! [Player], get out of here, now!

Trying to get a sense of his words – a myriad of huge snakes with black eyes caught Kurogane.

1 option
Kurogane-senpai! !

???:( face) So, you have learned about the truth. You shall forget about it once more.

My name is Tangaroa. I am the one who created this island and protects his beloved children.

2 options (Same Response)
Tangaroa......?	The island’s…… creator……

That is correct. But, this island is not mine to rule now.

The ruler of the sea of the great abyss is the one who will rule over us and this island now.

You will become an ally. You will carry out the “role” that you will be given.

You will soon understand, the pleasure of spending your life as a servant.

I do not plan on answering any questions. Do not plan on asking anything.

Let us go to the altar of our great “lord.”

Do not try to resist!

[Player], run! Just get out of here!!

2 options (Same Response)
I can’t leave you, Kurogane-senpai!	Kurogane-san, I’m not leaving!
