"Distance" exceeded reality; it becomes distorted and warped.

{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=怒り|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=誰も近づくな!

a gloomy situation where it eats away the feelings from the lungs.


SFX: {{#tag:mediator|https://cdn.housamo.xyz/utage/assets/housamo/utage_enc/Android/sound/se/se_summon.ogg}}
There is no sign of life.  
Only their own breathing noises echoed in their earlobes; loneliness stood out here.

Their legs and feet involuntarily moves on their own
from the intense pressure of not being around anyone.

Even so, there is nothing but loneliness.

There isn't warmth from any living being.

Not even the coldness of the dead.


{{VN:Dialogue|character=|dialogue=しかし、伸ばした手は届かない。}}
Loneliness is almost the same as emptiness.

It was something familiar to them.
How does such a thing press hard against their heart?

No matter how much they went on,
there is still nobody around.

The minute he said that,

Asterios' large hand reached out, taking them with him.

Every time Asterios destroys the wall,
the labyrinth's wall regenerates.

That is the opposite of his feelings of being with you.
He can't do it by himself. His feelings of love were too much to bear.

{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=通常|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=こ、この「迷宮」は、あいつの「糸」より下だって、

{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=泣き|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=居てくれれば、よかったんだけど……。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=通常|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=お、Player。
……つ、次の角を曲がるぞ。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=|dialogue=角を曲がるとき、道を歩くとき。
アステリオスの腕が、そっと触れる。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=|dialogue=昨日に比べ、アステリオスとの距離が近くなったのは
気のせいじゃないだろう。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=|dialogue=目と目が合うと、
どこか照れ臭そうにそらされる。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=照れ|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=あ、その……な。
このまま、帰れなかったら……どうする?}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=通常|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=食料の問題とか……あるけどよ……
おれと、お前の二人っきりでさ……。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=笑い|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=昨日みたいに、一緒に眠るんだ……。}}
 
{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=照れ|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=へ、変なこと言ったな……。

{{VN:Dialogue|character=Asterius|expression=笑い|layer=キャラ中央|dialogue=楽しいところなら……
お前と、一緒にいられるのかも……。}}

おれ……ああ、これは……。}}

Asterios' Character Quest:

Location: Shinjuku Station Southeast Entrance



The crowded underground city, filled with bustling activity.

There are an infinite variety of statures and appearances of the Transients residing in Tokyo, it is as if it's a wave of colored water.

Although the hustle and bustle was spectacular, the pace of things was quite fast.

To enjoy shopping here, one requires to have experience and resilience.

One such giant was going against the flow. They are standing still without mingling with the crowds of people.


Asterios expression sad.png

Ah, there are so many people here in the underground city......

Asterios expression sad.png

I'm...... not very good with crowds of people......
I should hurry and finish shopping then head back home......

Asterios expression neutral.png

I wonder what I should make today.
I haven't put much thought on it actually......

Asterios expression smile.png

I-It'd be nice if.......
Someone would decide that for me.


1 option
Is that you, Asterios?


Asterios expression neutral.png

Oh...... [Player]. What a coincidence...... You're out shopping too.

Asterios expression smile.png

S-So then, [Player].
Do you...... Is there anything you want to eat?

Asterios expression surprised.png

Ah, no, it's different......!
I'm only offering you, that's all.

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Umm...... If you don't want to eat with me, then......

Asterios expression neutral.png

Err...... I don't mind eating something with you......

Asterios expression smile.png

Oh, umm...... I can cook by the way......

Slimes: Purupurupuruuuuuuu!!

Asterios:( face)
Eeeeeeeh!? A-An unexpected battle is a cowardly thing to do!


2 options (Same Response)
Get ready, Asterios! There's so many of them!


Asterios expression anger.png

I have no choice then......! Don't get separated from me, [Player]!

Asterios expression anger.png

Nobody approaches! Nobody gets in!

Asterios expression 4star.png

Labrus Labyrinthus!!


"Distance" exceeded reality; it becomes distorted and warped. The surroundings became more and more distant.

Keeping all the interference at bay, it separates Asterios from the world.


Asterios expression surprised.png

[Player]! Hand-


Unfortunately, the hand reached out cannot reach them.

Before the distance extended violently, they were separated from each other.

[Transitioning...]


Location: Labyrinth of the Remote Island


They regain their senses and observe the darkness spreading.

A stone-wall that is far from being broken blocks out the light, a gloomy situation where it eats away the feelings from the lungs.

There is no sign of life. Only their own breathing noises echoed in their earlobes; loneliness stood out here.

They are experiencing complete isolation here. That is what they can understand.

Their legs and feet involuntarily moves on their own from the intense pressure of not being around anyone.

The wall warps.

They went on their way. Even so, there is nothing but loneliness.

There isn't warmth from any living being. Not even the coldness of the dead.

Loneliness is almost the same as emptiness.

It was something familiar to them. How does such a thing press hard against their heart?

No matter how much they went on, there is still nobody around.

Succumbing to such loneliness-

...... "That person" came in.


Asterios expression surprised.png

Aaah...... [Player]! Y-You're okay! That's a relief......!

Asterios expression sad.png

Are you alright...... You're not cold, are you?
I was so scared...... Now, I don't have to worry anymore.


3 options
Asterios! I'm alright! (Frantically hug him)
Asterios expression surprised.png

A-Ah...... Asterios.

Asterios expression sad.png

Are you surprised by how things look?
S-Sorry about that......

Asterios expression smile.png

I see, that's good...... You are one tough guy.

Asterios expression surprised.png

U-Uh...... What...... That smell......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

.........

Asterios expression smile.png

(Pat pat)...... It's alright now. You must've been scared.


Asterios expression neutral.png

That...... was some bad luck......
Being attacked so suddenly like that......

Asterios expression neutral.png

W-Well...... We were doing an App Battle.
There will be things such as this......

Asterios expression neutral.png

This Labyrinth was built by my "Sacred Artifact" ......

Asterios expression sad.png

It was for an emergency...... I can't explain it, sorry......

Asterios expression neutral.png

You'll be safe if you escape from this place......
This place is meant to isolate me.

Asterios expression neutral.png

But...... I-I don't know why......
I can't control this "Sacred Artifact" ......

Asterios expression sad.png

Sorry...... It's all because of me honestly......


2 options
Close the App then? Don't worry, we'll work something out.
Asterios expression sad.png

I-It's useless.
I tried closing the app, but it wouldn't return to what it was before.

Asterios expression smile.png

Y-Yeah...... I'm with you, it will work out......


Asterios expression neutral.png

It's possible that......
T-The Underground City has become a "Closed Area."

Asterios expression neutral.png

In a such location,
even if the "App" is closed, the outcomes caused by the "Rule" will remain......

Asterios expression neutral.png

T-The camera shutter probably came down at night......

Asterios expression neutral.png

I-I invoke the labyrinth, but I cannot destroy it.

Asterios expression sad.png

If I want to leave this place...... I'll have to do it on my own.

Asterios expression sad.png

I-I never had to deal with such a thing till now......

Asterios expression neutral.png

But...... Until I break out,
I am still responsible for looking after someone.

Asterios expression neutral.png

I think I could break out of it overnight, maybe.
T-That's why......

Asterios expression smile.png

I have to keep doing my best, right?

Asterios expression surprised.png

T-That's weird......
We went the wrong way...... in my own labyrinth......

Asterios expression surprised.png

It was supposed to be this direction...... But......

Asterios expression neutral.png

Sorry...... It seems the labyrinth changes its structure in an instant.


2 options
We can't get out then......? Don't give up, we'll find another way!
Asterios expression surprised.png

A-Ah...... I-I-It's gonna be okay......!

Asterios expression smile.png

I'll stay by your side...... I promise......!

Asterios expression neutral.png

Right...... We'll come together with the direction itself......
If we get closer to the exit, it should be there......


Asterios expression neutral.png

Wh... What are you doing?
It's impossible to destroy the labyrinth with a sword like that......

Asterios expression neutral.png

You just want to test it out......?
I see...... Well, it's not bad to try out different things.

Asterios expression neutral.png

I-It's a dead end here too......

Asterios expression smile.png

There is still no way back......


2 options
This is a little fun, no? You're still doing great.
Asterios expression smile.png

I-Is that right......? It may...... certainly be so......

Asterios expression smile.png

W-Well, this labyrinth is kinda like my own home.
You...... I will use my strength for you.


Asterios expression neutral.png

........ Ah. I...... should tell you the truth.

Asterios expression smile.png

I...... I'm having fun right now.

Asterios expression neutral.png

Talking about times such as this......
I only think for myself......

Asterios expression smile.png

I-I...... I don't know why but,
I can say that I'm glad to have met you.

Asterios expression smile.png

I-It was nice to...... meet e-everyone.

Asterios expression surprised.png

Hu...... Huh?

Asterios expression surprised.png

Who is...... everyone?

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Oh...... I said something weird.
F-Forget it...... It's embarrassing......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

O-Oh right...... We should hurry or we'll end up spending the night here......

Asterios expression neutral.png

Agh, we walked for a long time......
Is it getting that late already......? (Biological clock)

Asterios expression neutral.png

I guess we'll need to spend the night here......
We'll be safe since...... there is no one else here......


2 options
That's enough for today. I'm bushed.
Asterios expression smile.png

O-Oh...... Yeah, this is enough for today, [Player]......
We're exhausted from walking on the paths I'm not familiar with.

Asterios expression neutral.png

Is that right...... Sorry. It's all because of me......

Asterios expression smile.png

If you can't walk any more, then I'll carry you on my back......
If anything, I'm fairly strong, so......


Asterios expression embarrassed.png

U-Um...... Can I...... Can I get a little closer to you?


That said, the giant covered in fur closed the distance between them.

Touching shoulder to shoulder, he feels relieved to know that he's not alone.


Asterios expression embarrassed.png

A-Aren't you cold......? If so, then...... Umm......

Asterios expression surprised.png

....... Ah.

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

The truth is...... I wanted to get close to you.

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

I...... I never thought I'd be with someone in the labyrinth......

Asterios expression smile.png

When I'm next to you, I feel at ease......


2 options
(Nod your head) (Get even closer to him)
Asterios expression smile.png

I see...... That's nice......
Eheh, you're warm.

Asterios expression surprised.png

.......!

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

..............

Asterios expression smile.png

........ Eheheh.


Asterios expression neutral.png

Ah...... That's right. I'm not as hungry anymore......

Asterios expression neutral.png

After we get out of here, I'll cook as much food as you want......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

I've been living by myself for such a long time......
Cooking is the least I can do......

Asterios expression smile.png

For that reason...... I will do my best tomorrow as well.


Leaning against his fur, they fell asleep.

It was a cold labyrinth. They're only here by his side.

...... He was very warm.


Asterios expression island sad.png

Parting ways makes me feel lonely...... But, this is goodbye!


(Is that...... me?)


Asterios expression island happy.png

E-Even if I forget, I will see everyone again......
That's what I believe so...... I'm looking forward to it!


("Everyone" ...... "Everyone" ......)

....... Who?


Asterios expression neutral.png

I can't...... see the exit.

Asterios expression sad.png

We've been walking ever since we woke up......
Yet we're still looking ahead......

Asterios expression neutral.png

(What a strange dream yesterday. I wonder what that was......)


1 option
Asterios?


Asterios expression smile.png

Oh...... Nothing. I was just dozing off for a bit.

Asterios expression neutral.png

But...... Why does the structure change like that......

Asterios expression sad.png

A-Although......
I make it seem like the labyrinth is impossible to escape from......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Saying stuff like that is making you feel uneasy...... Forget what I said.

Asterios expression neutral.png

D-Do you know of Taurus Mask?

Asterios expression neutral.png

T-That guy's "strings" of his "Sacred Artifact" will not take the "Rule" of this labyrinth.

Asterios expression neutral.png

T-This "labyrinth" is below his "strings"
because the hierarchy is connected with the original world......

Asterios expression sad.png

It would've been nice if it stayed......

Asterios expression neutral.png

Oh, [Player]. We're turning at the next corner.


Turning at the corner, they then walked down the path. Asterios' arms gently touched them.

In comparison to yesterday, Asterios was closer to them than they imagined.

When they made eye contact, he turned away in embarrassment.


Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Oh, umm...... Do you not want to go home like this......?

Asterios expression neutral.png

Food might be a problem......
Well...... Since it's just the two of us......

Asterios expression smile.png

We could sleep together, just like yesterday......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

I-I said something strange again......
I've been acting funny ever since yesterday......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Maybe I'm just a little happier than usual......


2 options (Same Response)
You do seem a little happy. We should still get home regardless.


Asterios expression neutral.png

T-That's right......
Staying here in this place makes me feel depressed.

Asterios expression neutral.png

At least...... It's warm and well-lit,
and we shouldn't worry about food......

Asterios expression smile.png

If it's a fun place...... Maybe you'll stay with me......

Asterios expression sad.png

Yet...... You still want to go back home......

Asterios expression neutral.png

..........

Asterios expression surprised.png

H-Huh......?

Asterios expression neutral.png

I'm certain that this situation is...... just like before......

Asterios expression neutral.png

You said you wanted to go home......
A-And...... I was hoping it would stay like this......

Asterios expression neutral.png

It's the same situation now......

Asterios expression surprised.png

....... Ah.

Asterios expression neutral.png

Is...... Is that right. I...... Ah, this is......

Asterios expression smile.png

This is what I wanted.


2 options (Same Response)
So basically, what changed the structure of this labyrinth was- Asterios himself?


Asterios expression sad.png

Yep...... I truly am sorry......

Asterios expression neutral.png

U-Umm...... You may not remember but I......
I remembered everything......

Asterios expression neutral.png

You and I were living together.

Asterios expression sad.png

I think there was someone else besides you......
But I can't remember clearly......

Asterios expression smile.png

But, you and I went fishing together and we even slept together.

Asterios expression smile.png

I was so happy...... staying on that small island......
I only remember that much.

Asterios expression neutral.png

It's the same as that time on the island......
Now I am very happy. I was thinking of getting back to that time with you.

Asterios expression neutral.png

Therefore, the "Sacred Artifact" responded to my feelings......
To not let you escape...... It changes the structure......

Asterios expression sad.png

The labyrinth itself is controlling over me.
I am trapping you here in this labyrinth!

Asterios expression sad.png

Eh... Eheheh...... I'm sorry......

Asterios expression sad.png

It bothers you so...... You must see me as a terrible guy......


2 options (Same Response)
(Shake your head sideways in disagreement) (Deny it then get closer to him)


Asterios expression surprised.png

.........!

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Th...... Thank you......

Asterios expression smile.png

Hehe, I really enjoy spending time with you......
My goal has been achieved......

Asterios expression neutral.png

So...... Can we..... escape?

Asterios expression neutral.png

...... Why are you giving that look?
I'm sure it'll be easy......


The minute he said that, Asterios brandishes the axe that he carries on his back.

A gigantic axe that seems impossible to handle unless Asterios uses his strong arm.

With no hesitation, he swung down vigorously.


Asterios:( face)
T-This won't be a problem!


Causing an ear-deafening sound, the labyrinth, which seemed sturdy, has a hole made on it.


Asterios expression anger.png

Hah...... Hah...... Okay!
Move before the wall fixes itself......!


Asterios' large hand reached out, taking them with him.

Every time Asterios destroys the wall, the labyrinth's wall regenerates.

That is the opposite of his feelings of being with you. He can't do it by himself. His feelings of love were too much to bear.

That is, Asterios himself breaks down and proceeds. The feelings he developed on the island acted as a source of encouragement.

He can't remember it clearly, but it was certainly breathing in him.


Asterios expression neutral.png

I noticed it by now......
People would want to meet me in such a place.

Asterios expression smile.png

That's the reason why you wanted to go home from that island......
Now I understand......

Asterios expression neutral.png

When I met you for the first time,
I realized at last how lonely I was.

Asterios expression sad.png

I want to stay with you forever......
But...... But I......!

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

I want to see everyone!

Asterios expression sad.png

I-I really don't want to forget them......!
It will be terrible if I can't remember!


Without letting go of the axe in hand, Asterios broke the wall with one hand.


Asterios expression smile.png

Take me out again when the time comes!
Take me...... Take me outside!

Asterios expression sad.png

You can't stop here......! I don't want to be left alone here......!

Asterios expression sad.png

Because, because...... I realized that I'm lonely!

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

D-Don't worry......! Once we escape, I, I-I......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

I want you to be my friend again!


2 options (Same Response)
Of course! My pleasure!


Asterios expression surprised.png

H-Huh? Is that the exit......!?

Asterios expression smile.png

We finally did it...... Finally......


They can see the light before their very eyes. The exit to the outside world gave them hope.

But then-


Slime: Purupurupuruuuuuuuuu!!

Asterios:( face)
W-Why is there another living thing in this place other than myself!

Asterios expression neutral.png

Is it possible that the guys from yesterday got trapped here with us?

Asterios expression neutral.png

D-Damn...... This is not the situation to be saying such things.
Those guys are preventing us from leaving...... They're blocking us from the wall!

Asterios expression surprised.png

If we get separated, it'll be hard for us to see each other again!

Asterios expression anger.png

A quick attack will get them off our backs!

[Battle?]



When the last one was defeated, the wall of the labyrinth tried to close in between the pair.


Asterios expression anger.png

Oryaaaaaah!!


Asterios' axe smashes the wall, strongly pulling it apart.


Asterios expression anger.png

This should be enough......! We just need to...... leave!


The exit close to them feels far away from them. Nonetheless, the pair made a run for it to the exit.

However, the two of them can no longer go outside.

His feelings to meeting up with everyone again was never a lie. In fact, he felt happy from the current situation.

For that reason, there is a mere shadow within Asterios' heart.

The labyrinth responds quickly to what was hidden, the walls tries to hide away the exit.


Asterios expression anger.png

This is......!


The walls whittled a little from Asterios' brave, strong arms.

The stretched wall hides the exit until the pair had a strong will to leave the labyrinth.

Because of that, it's the opposite of loneliness that Asterios possesses. Strong and bulky, terrifying on the outside.

Doing such things towards himself, he continued to push himself.* It makes him cower and hide.


Asterios expression neutral.png

You...... Go on ahead.

Asterios expression neutral.png

I...... I'm doing this for the sole purpose of confining you.

Asterios expression neutral.png

If you escape...... I think the labyrinth will soon grow silent.

Asterios expression sad.png

I'm sorry to have put you through all of this.
But, if we meet again outside...... I......


1 option
But still......


Asterios expression surprised.png

Eh?


A hand reached out and grasped Asterios and tried to pull him closer even if they're not as strong.

It's not enough to move the heavy giant, but they certainly reached out to the lonely bull's heart.


1 option
Come on!
1 option
We're getting out of this together!


Asterios expression surprised.png

You.......


They never drew him in by force. Not at all.

But, their consideration for Asterios' feelings has surely moved him.


1 option
We'll escape, together.


Moved by their feelings, Asterios' feet kicked off the ground of the labyrinth.


Asterios expression sad.png

Ah, I...... I want to be with you......!

[Transitioning...]


Location: Shinjuku West Gate


Asterios expression smile.png

...... We managed to escape somehow.

Asterios expression sad.png

You must've been annoyed by now...... I'm s-sorry.

Asterios expression neutral.png

I think my feelings have been sorted out considerably now......
I don't think that would be the case though.


2 options
Keep holding my hand. Wanna keep holding them?
Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Oh...... Wouldn't that be bad?

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

M-Maybe for a little longer......

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Yeah...... I want to hold them still......


Asterios expression embarrassed.png

Fr...... Friends......


1 option
Yeah.


Asterios expression smile.png

Eheheh...... Friends, friends......

Asterios expression neutral.png

T-Today...... was a long day......

Asterios expression neutral.png

I'm going to take a bath then have dinner...... Okay?

Asterios expression embarrassed.png

So...... Don't you want to come by my home......?

Asterios expression smile.png

Really, I was serious about...... cooking.
If you happen to be free then...... let's go look -

Asterios expression smile.png

For everyone.
