Moritaka:(new year angry face)
--This is the final blow!!
|
|
Agyou:(shock crying face)
W-what, ganging up on me, cheaters...! Uuu...
|
|
Moritaka:(new year sad face)
I did my best to hold back. Could you please calm down a little, Komainu summon-dono?
|
|
Agyou:(shock crying face)
Why do you keep calling me Summon? I have a name y'know! It's Agyou!
|
|
Agyou:(Angry face)
I'm an honorable, ancient komainu! Agh, just when I determined to find a new partner...!
|
|
And yet...*sniff* uuu...!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year shock face)
A-Agyou-dono! Please, just calm down and take a deep breath. Yes, just a calming, deep breath...!
|
|
Agyou:(shock crying face)
Bark! No no no! Where am I? I want to go home already!
|
|
Agyou:(shock crying face)
I want to go back to Wa No Kuni! Grandpa Ungyouuu! *Sniffle*
|
|
Moritaka:(new year shock face)
Aah! A cry that won't lose to Cusith-dono! It's no good, he's still not listening to us!
|
| 1 option
|
| What should we do, Moritaka?
|
|
Moritaka:(new year shock face)
D-don't look at me... It seems you don't have any ideas either though.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year shock face)
Like this, even if we could help him he's not going to cooperate.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year sad face)
Earlier, he said he came from the same world as I. Wa No Kuni. I can smell its familiar scent on him.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year sad face)
I can't help but want to lend a hand to a fellow dweller of my world, though...
|
|
Agyou:(surprise face)
Wa No Kuni...?! What did you say just now?! You came from the same place as me?!
|
|
Agyou:(surprise face)
Now that you mention it, yes... this smell, this feeling, is definitely Wa No Kuni...!
|
|
That means, you know the way back, right?! Tell me, tell me!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year angry face)
I'm afraid you are the only one who knows the answer to that, Agyou-dono.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
Summoning occurs when the wishes of two people match, and a bond is formed. At least, that's what I have been told.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
If Agyou-dono is really from Wa No Kuni, you must have some idea, correct?
|
|
How should I know... I don't remember answering to any "summon" thing.
|
|
Agyou:(surprise face)
Wait, no... Could it be, that "would you go anywhere... to find a partner" ?
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
Oh, it seems you have an idea! Did you answer to a summoning after all?
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
If that's the case, I can't think of anyone who could've summoned me but... *glare*
|
| 3 options
|
| I-I'm under suspicion...
|
I'd like you to prove that, please.
|
If you let me cuddle your fluffy fur, it may jog my memory.
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
No matter how much I think about it, you're the most suspicious one here!
|
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
How am I supposed to prove that? I guess it's no good then...
|
|
|
Agyou:(shock face)
You!! Someone is seriously worried and you make jokes! That's no good!
|
|
|
Moritaka:(new year sad face)
That is a problem then, if you don't who summoned you...
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
The remaining way is -- to grant Agyou-dono's wish.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
Agyou-dono, do you have any sort of strong wish? The first thing that comes to your mind--
|
|
If that's the case, there is only one! I have but one wish!
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
It's -- Finding a lifelong komainu partner, becoming friends, and protecting a splendid shrine together!
|
|
I can think of no other wish but that, it's a stroooong wish!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
That makes things much simpler! In that case, a partner for a komainu would be...
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
A dog, of course! It's gotta be a dog! After all, I'm a lion, as you can see!
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
A komainu is a set of a dog and a lion. Because of that, my partner has to be a dog!
|
|
But not just any dog will do, it's got to be a strong dog than can protect a shrine properly!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
Hoh, there's a smile at last, Agyou-dono. It seems you're feeling better now.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
What do you think, Player-dono? We're completely immersed in helping him out now, so...
|
| 3 options
|
| Of course, we'd be glad to help.
|
We can't abandon him now...
|
What a pain.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
As expected of Player-dono! You can understand his yearning.
|
|
|
Agyou:(shock face)
H-hey, did you just treat me like some kid again?! You did, didn't you?!
|
|
|
Moritaka:(new year sad face)
Now, now, don't say that. Aren't we in too deep already to back out?
|
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
Now, speaking of a suitable dog to be a komainu, your criteria is that they be a strong fighter, right?
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
Then, where should we start searching...?
|
| 2 option
|
| I know some good candidates.
|
If some of my dog friends are okay.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
As always, your personal network of connections is vast. Then, let's get started immediately!
|
|
Ah, you're nice people after all. I misjudged you at first, but I have a much better opinion now.
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
I'll introduce myself once more! I am Agyou, the honorable ancient komainu!
|
|
--Although, I am still in training. It's a pleasure to meet you, um...
|
| 1 option
|
| Introduce yourself.
|
|
Heeeh, Player huh? Nice to meet you!
Let's work together to find a fine komainu candidate!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year neutral face)
I am Inuzuka Shino Moritaka, a canine beastman attending Shinjuku Academy.
|
|
Agyou:(shock face)
Canine! A Dog?! Big Bro was a dog after all! Komainu! Are you interested in becoming a komainu?!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year shock face)
I-i'm still in training to become a samurai! My apologies, but I can't be Agyou-dono's--
|
|
Ooh, you already have a goal of your own. I understand. I don't want to force anyone.
|
|
Agyou:(angry face)
Finding my komainu partner is important, but it would be shameful to do so by stepping on someone else's dreams.
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
Hah... I appreciate your understanding. You're much more reasonable now that you've regained composure.
|
|
All right, let's go meet the komainu candidates!
|
|
Moritaka:(new year smile face)
Yes!
|
Thus, the small, incident filled journey of Moritaka, Agyou and Player in search of a komainu partner began.
...........
|
Bwaaaah... Milord, you're so meeeaaan! Not even so much as a "I need your help, Salomon-Kun~"?
|
|
I always answer Milord's questions, I was even waiting on standby...
|
|
In the first place, all Milord had to do was touch him to determine if they were indeed a bonded summoner and summon!
|
|
Salomon-kun:(new year angry face)
Jeez! I absolutely, definitely, positively won't tell you now! Nyeeeh!
|
|
This cute little Salomon-kun is going to lounge on the kotatsu, eat tangerines and dress fancily ALL. BY. MYSELF!!
