At the Inn with Nekros & Bacchus


???

...this happened after the battle with the overlord, and this happened before journeying to another world.

This is the event of a day that happened at a certain inn in a certain town.

The "Second" Hero got up from bed, then headed for a certain person's room alone.

At that moment, [playerNickname] had let go of the Role of Hero. As a result, his sword has lost the light of its Rule.

Because of that, he has lost the ability to reach the heart and talk to a certain "someone else" who was in his body.


If you choose to meet Bacchus...
Bacchus expression surprised.png

...hm?


3 options
(Speak to Bacchus) (Smile at Bacchus) (Hug Bacchus)
Bacchus expression smiling.png

Oh, [playerNickname]? Nice of you to visit.


The Hero expression grin.png
Bacchus expression neutral.png
Bacchus expression shy.png

Oh [playerNickname], what's gotten into you?
You're acting rather spoiled today, hahaha.

Bacchus held Yuuji against his chest and smiled as he rocked back and forth, like he was cuddling an infant.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

Hm...[playerNickname]? Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?


3 options
I couldn't sleep. Um...I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to see you.
The Hero expression sad.png
Bacchus expression shy.png

I see...hm. I'm happy you came to me for help. [playerNickname].

The Hero expression grin.png
Bacchus expression smiling.png

Hahahah. You say such flattering things.

Bacchus expression shy.png

Come to think of it, even if there was nothing to talk about I felt that I also wanted to see you.


Bacchus expression neutral.png

Tonight is a little chilly. Shall I put on some tea? It's good for your health to warm up from within...

Bacchus made some warm tea, gave it to [playerNickname], and patted him on the head as he sat next to him.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

Ahh...it feels as if the final battle with Nekros was only yesterday.


2 options (Same Response)
What's going on with Nekros...? Ask about Nekros


The Hero expression surprised.png
Bacchus expression smiling.png

Ah, he's returned to within me. He might be watching us right now...

Bacchus smiled as he pat his chest with his hand.

Bacchus expression sad.png

That strange place Nekros talked about...
He said it was called the Star Phase, didn't he?

Bacchus expression neutral.png

When the overlord has no temporary body,
it's said that they cannot leave that place.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

And Nekros said that he was tuned with my body as a born soul.

Bacchus expression smiling.png

Which means that aside from me accepting him he has no way of getting out.


3 options
Bacchus, are you okay with this? All because of my selfishness...!? Thank you...Bacchus.
The Hero expression sad.png
The Hero expression neutral.png


Bacchus expression shy.png

...no need for concern [playerNickname].
You have nothing to be worried about.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

I've chosen to accept him--accept Nekros, of my own free will.

2 options (Same Response)
You can talk with Nekros? How've you been doing since accepting him...?
The Hero expression surprised.png
Bacchus expression sad.png

Ah...that's been impossible. Ever since the Star Phase
Nekros and I haven't exchanged a word.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

When you were speaking to someone inside you
it was because you had the power of the hero's sword.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

Sir Sol told you about it. About how silmaril
has the power to connect hearts no matter the distance.

Bacchus expression sad.png

I don't have a power like that...
so I won't be able to talk to Nekros.

2 options (Same Response)
...I see. (Nod)
Bacchus expression neutral.png

It's the same as before. During the day I am here, and at night he comes out.

Bacchus expression surprised.png

But...if there is one that that's changed, I've started being able to remember some old things now.

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
...what!? Remember old things...?
Bacchus expression surprised.png

Yes, when he left my mind and then came back, some sort of change might have occurred in me.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

Maybe the mental bindings on my mind may have loosened up a little.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

...Say, [playerNickname].

Bacchus expression neutral.png

[playerNickname], your behavior is the same
as mine, so I noticed...

Bacchus spoke up to that point, then shut his mouth as if hesitating for a moment and stared at [playerNickname].

Bacchus expression sad.png

Since that day, you seemed different
after the time at the Gate of Hel, maybe because of that.

Bacchus expression surprised.png

...[playerNickname]. Did you remember anything too?

Bacchus expression surprised.png

Did you remember something that you find hard to tell us about?

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
...! ...
The Hero expression sad.png
Bacchus expression surprised.png

...[playerNickname].

3 options (Same Response)
Bacchus... I'm...the Second... ...
Bacchus expression sad.png
Bacchus expression sad.png

...no, don't say anything. I'm not here to ask you about anything you're hiding.

Bacchus expression sad.png

I...wasn't thinking of making you make that face.

Bacchus expression sad.png

... What I wanted to say to you was...

Bacchus went quiet for the moment, and silence passes between the two of you.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

...I also have something I've been hiding and said nothing to you about.

Bacchus expression sad.png

[playerNickname], I remember a little bit about older things...
things from before I lost my memories.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

A long long time ago, in the age
where the king in heaven's legend had yet to pass into history...

Bacchus expression sad.png

I had once...led a certain country to destruction due to my own foolishness.

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
Wha...? ...!
Bacchus expression surprised.png

I don't remember everything yet. But it's true I bear that sin.

Bacchus expression sad.png

The people who had been sacrificed because of my foolishness will never forgive me.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

...even so, I will not stop walking here.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

I hope to one day remember everything.
I want to face the crime I committed.

Bacchus expression sad.png

And...if possible, I hope that I can save someone who lives now.

Bacchus expression sad.png

Even if it is just for my ego's sake, I believe...
that this is the only atonement I can do.

Bacchus expression surprised.png

...[playerNickname], I don't know how heavy the past you bear is.

Bacchus expression sad.png

I don't think I can forgive anything that happened in your past.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

But as someone who's lived longer than you,
I hope to help your heart if I can.

Bacchus expression shy.png

Ever since I've met you, all my memories have been shining brilliantly.

Bacchus expression smiling.png

I wish for your happiness...as if you were my own child.

2 options
Bacchus... Dad...!
The Hero expression happy.png
The Hero expression happy.png
Bacchus expression surprised.png

[playerNickname]...! You would call me father?

Bacchus expression smiling.png

Ah, say it one more time!
Please, [playerNickname], please...!

Bacchus expression smiling.png

I have a family now in the one life I have. I never knew this would be so joyous...ahh.

Bacchus hugged [playerNickname] forcefully as a warm joy glowed in his chest.


Bacchus expression neutral.png

...[playerNickname], I'm thinking of going to Tokyo... the world you came from.

Bacchus expression neutral.png

I'm thinking of seeing a new world, with you and everyone, and Nidhogg and everyone else.


3 options
Nod at Bacchus Smile at Bacchus Get Bacchus to pamper you
The Hero expression happy.png
Bacchus expression neutral.png

...[playerNickname].

Under Yggdrasil's sky, Bacchus smiled gently at [playerNickname] as if to watch over him.

The Hero expression grin.png
Bacchus expression smiling.png

...hahaha [playerNickname]. Sheesh,
you're like a little kid.

Bacchus expression shy.png

Ahh, you doing this...makes me happy.

Bacchus gently [playerNickname] on the head as he approached him and called his name.

The Hero expression happy.png
Bacchus expression smiling.png

Bacchus looked into the boundless sky and focused his eyes as if looking at something in the distance.

Daytime shooting stars continue to cross the sky of the world he'll be leaving...

If you choose to meet Nekros...
Nekros expression neutral.png

...you've come. Enter.

3 options
Speak to Nekros Smile at Nekros Hug Nekros
The Hero expression happy.png
Nekros expression lick.png

Ah yes... I've been waiting for you.

The Hero expression shocked.png
Nekros expression surprised.png
Nekros expression laughing.png

Heh, hahaha...! How passionate.

Nekros expression neutral.png

The way you look to me for such things, is a pleasure like no other.

Nekros expression lick.png

You give me such desirable joy and blessed exaltation...


Nekros expression neutral.png

...[playerNickname].

Nekros expression laughing.png

Your voice and face continue to charm my heart.

Nekros expression laughing.png

You make me feel a different kind of joy than the ones in my memory.

Nekros expression neutral.png

Now then...let us go to the main subject, O Second Hero. ...well no, you are no longer the hero now are you?

Nekros expression sad.png

Now that you have lost the Role of the Hero
you cannot stay in this world.

Nekros expression neutral.png

Due to that, you are leaving this world...

Nekros expression laughing.png

But before that, you have
questions you wish to ask me, do you not?

2 options (Same Response)
I want you to tell me what you know. Tell me about everything.
The Hero expression angry.png
Nekros expression surprised.png
Nekros expression laughing.png

...heh, hehahahah! Such direct questioning.

Nekros expression laughing.png

Now, if you seek something from the overlord,
you must prepare a sufficient offering.

Nekros expression surprised.png

Hmm, but...I am no longer the overlord in this world, no?

Nekros expression sad.png

...my wisdom only knows the ways of this world,
and it does not know everything beyond that scope.

Nekros expression neutral.png

If that is acceptable...yes, ask me whatever you wish.

Nekros expression sad.png

Now then...where shall I begin with explaining this event?

Nekros expression neutral.png

...yes, I should start with myself...
I shall start by telling you about this Nekros.

Nekros expression neutral.png

Once before, this Nekros was born to control
the memories and corpse known as Bacchus.

Nekros expression mad.png

In the eternally repeating battle between hero and overlord,(Same Response) I was to fulfill that central Role.


Nekros expression neutral.png

I was to be a personality that can bear with
processing and gathering all the information and faith of the world.

Nekros expression lick.png

Due to that, the Nekros before you is
always holding the memories of the First and the Second...

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
...! ...
Nekros expression neutral.png

Nekros then closed his mouth and gave the one in front of him time to process and choose his next words.

3 options (Same Response)
You were born for an eternally repeating battle Are you talking about the adventure loop that happened? Is that why you remember?
Nekros expression sad.png

No...that's not right.
The result is the same, but the "cause is different."

Nekros expression mad.png

In this world the "an overlord who controls death" and
"a new hero and friends" are to gather faith and fight.

Nekros expression neutral.png

This is not a "redo of time."
It is accumulated history.

Nekros expression sad.png

Indeed, this world originally did not have
a System that loops the same time around.

Nekros expression neutral.png

...or at least, that is how it was as far as I've seen since my birth.

Nekros expression mad.png

In which case, the loop that happened this time is caused by a System from outside this world.

Nekros expression laughing.png

However, my personality was created to withstand eternity.
Due to that I was able to withstand the loop that happened here.

Nekros expression neutral.png

I said "the result is the same but the cause is different."
Yes, if I were to sum it up in a word...it is a coincidence.

The Hero expression sad.png


2 options
...what does that mean? Smile at Bacchus I see! Then that means...!
Nekros expression lick.png

Your face is asking what this subject has to do with you. Heh, hahahah.

The Hero expression angry.png
Nekros expression surprised.png

...how insightful. Yes, it is good work done by "that."

Nekros expression neutral.png

In other words this subject is the answer to
"why you as the second hero brought another person."

Nekros expression laughing.png

Allow me to repeat my conclusion. O "Second Hero",
you...have saved the "First Hero."

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
...!? ...
Nekros expression neutral.png

The humans of this age are beings that live
at most for a hundred years just once in this flow of time.

Nekros expression surprised.png

Indeed, you "both" cannot bear with an eternity
that is like a looping set of time.

Nekros expression surprised.png

That does not even begin to cover gathering
all the faith in the world focused upon you and fighting endlessly.

Nekros expression sad.png

For an ordinary "human vessel" that would be surpassing your limits.

Nekros expression sad.png

You are not a personality purposed with withstanding endless repeats.

2 options (Same Response)
...what if I did do that? What happened to the First?
Nekros expression sad.png
Nekros expression neutral.png

He may have gone mad. He lost what made him human.

Nekros expression mad.png

He became a monster of rationality
that exists only to fulfill his given goal before he lost everything.

Nekros expression mad.png

He took in the will of the world,
become a System that only produces results...

Nekros expression sad.png

No matter how strong his will, that is what happens.
The "First Hero" is no exception to that.

Nekros expression neutral.png

I knew someone in the past who went mad like so.
I knew someone who "became something not human."

Nekros expression sad.png

They have forgotten "why have they wished for that"
and are only left with fulfilling "their original desire."

Nekros expression sad.png

Their memories as a human have been left behind somewhere...

Nekros expression sad.png

Their thoughts of adventure and not of results
have been abandoned somewhere not here.

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
Left behind memories? Thoughts of adventure...
Nekros expression sad.png

...the hero needs someone else to go after.
Someone in this world who wishes to adventure in this world.

Nekros expression sad.png

And...in order for that wish to be granted,
this adventuring tale must be in a form that ends.

Nekros expression neutral.png

Is the final battle between hero and overlord not the best fantasy?

The Hero expression surprised.png
2 options (Same Response)
...is that why you became the overlord? Back then, the reason you left the party was...
Nekros expression neutral.png

...And then, the adventure ended.

Nekros expression laughing.png

I've said all I needed to say.
So from now on, I will be speaking about "what comes after that."

Nekros expression neutral.png

You have saved the world, not as a hero, but as someone else.

Nekros expression surprised.png

You have also saved that one who could not save the "First Hero."
You have even helped with the crisis of the "First Hero."

Nekros expression neutral.png
Nekros expression laughing.png

Heh, hahahah...how surprising of me to be so interested in talking so much...

Nekros expression neutral.png

Why don't we go outside and
cool some of this passion, [playerNickname]...?

Nekros expression neutral.png

Ah yes, I believe that there is a spring
where fairies and spirits bathe themselves outside town.

Outside

Nekros spoke with the dignity of the overlord while bathing in the spring water that flowed in from far away.


Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

...uncourageous one.
You have had a splendid adventuring tale despite that.

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

No one in this world has blessed your ending of this adventure.

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

I am no longer the overlord, but I shall bless this ending.

Nekros expression shirtless lick.png

What? The end of the adventuring tale
should have a reward, should it not?

2 options
Reward...? Eh, you're gonna give me something?
The Hero expression surprised.png
The Hero expression happy.png
Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

Yes, that is correct. Now then, what is it you desire...?

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

Upon my pride as the one who once ruled over a fragment
of this world's light and darkness and born as the overlord, I shall grant it.

Silence passed between you two for a moment, And [playerNickname] said this.

3 options (Same Response)
...I don't need a reward. I won't say what wish I want you to grant. But I have something I want to say.


Nekros expression shirtless surprised.png

...oh? You desire neither reward nor a wish,
and instead you wish to say something to me?

The Hero expression neutral.png

Yeah...Nekros. Maybe in the beginning
the reason that you were interested in me...

The Hero expression sad.png

And the reason you appeared in front of me
was because you saw someone else in me.

The Hero expression sad.png

Maybe it's because you saw the First in me.

The Hero expression sad.png

Or maybe it's because...you saw
traces of someone I don't know in me. But still!

3 options (Same Response)
I'm going to travel with you. I'm gonna make you face my way. I'm gonna make you fall in love with me!
The Hero expression happy.png
Nekros expression shirtless surprised.png
Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

...heh. Hahahahah! Ahh, is that the path you choose?

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

You are saying "you want me to choose that path,"
but rather "I will show you the path I chose?"

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

I see, that is your......heh, hahahahahahaha!!

Nekros thinks about the meaning of his life.

But that meaning has come to nothing, leaving him a nobody of a person now.

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

...

The Nekros here right now knows that underneath this sky there are endless possibilities.

There are endless others who resemble himself but they each go down their own individual paths.

As someone who was born as the overlord he is no exception.

Now, his "Second Self" has reached a different ending from the "First Overlord."

In which case, he should put his own self on the line and walk down that path.

Nekros has memories of the time he spent with the "First Hero."

He also has irreplaceable memories of his time spent with the "Second Hero" before him.

As he holds these memories within him, Nekros wears the smile of a former overlord and speaks.

Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png

...very well. Your determination has reached me.

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

But be warned, the old hero and overlord
you intend to challenge here on are powerful. Hahaha!

Nekros said that he would be choosing. It was done because of his pride as one born as the overlord.

Nekros expression shirtless lick.png

I shall ruin you. I shall show you...what you've chosen.

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

Indeed we shall begin anew a new battle between me and you...!

3 options
Smile fearlessly at Nekros Stare at Nekros Hug Nekros
The Hero expression happy.png
Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png
Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

Ahh...you make that expression too. That is a different face you are smiling with.

As Nekros says that, he looks at the one in front of him. An expression he's never shown anyone else appears on his face.

The Hero expression grin.png
Nekros expression shirtless neutral.png
Nekros expression shirtless lick.png

Now, child born as an ordinary man. Allow me to show you the joys of indulging in decadence.

Nekros gently traced his fingers on [playerNickname]'s cheeks as he approached him.

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

I shall show you even more maddening joy than the praise the world would give its hero.

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

Choke, rage, sob. I shall carve the pleasure you've chosen into your soul.

Nekros expression shirtless laughing.png

I shall make you scream that you love me many times over...!

Nekros gazed out to the endless sky from the window and narrowed his eyes as if looking at something in the far off distance.

Two shooting stars fly past in the sky of the world he'll be leaving soon...
