Official English "He's usually the taciturn captain of a renowned athletic high school's wrestling team but he dislikes going out in public and blushes frequently. Once he puts on his mask, his personality spikes dynamically and he becomes the crowd-pleasing high school pro wrestler, Taurus Mask."

Translated from Japanese

Official Japanese 普段は、都内にある名門スポーツ高校レスリング部の真面目で寡黙な実力派キャプテン、ただし人前に出るのが苦手で、赤面症。マスクを被ると、豪快な性格へと一転し、旺盛なサービス精神で知られる現役高校生プロレスラー・タウラスマスクへと変わる。

Title: The tag team of glory! Location: Shopping district’s arena He was a weak boy. Of weak spirit. Of weak body. He led a weak lifestyle. Without a purpose, he let himself be carried away by the surroundings leading an unbearably mediocre lifestyle. However, a certain day. He had a changing experience. Arena On top of the ring, there was a fight between two wrestlers. An exchange of techniques. The match drawing to a close, going back and forth. Cheers for one of the wrestlers became louder, but the opponent managed to land a direct hit. The end of the match was imminent. If it continued like this, his defeat would be assured. … Hah!! A shy young boy raised his voice. He yelled the wrestler’s name. Rather, the name of his hero, he shouted it again and again. The wrestler couldn’t disappoint him. He stood up, and let out a big roar. A swift combo, quick jabs. Everyone’s voices started counting down. The spectators let out the biggest cheer yet. That was the day when everything changed for that boy. The day where he was given a reason to live. A world that he didn’t know much about, that day, a fascinating new universe opened for him. “I want to be like him” From that day on, he will aim to become a hero. Those memories in his chest. Glory as his motivation. … Yes. A hero, a profesional wrestler. - Ikebukuro, Underground Arena - Among loud cheers, there was one man standing on the ring, howling towards the sky. His fingers pointing to the skies, with an inspiring speech and his trademark bull-shaped green mask. It was a battleground, the Ikebukuro Underground Arena. And in the middle of the ring there was a young raging bull. Taurus Mask threw the microphone he was holding, and jumped on top of one of the posts of the ring. The mike made a shrieking noise when it hit the floor. After every move, the audience’s cheers grew louder. Leg lariat, elbow smash, high flyer. Hip attack, kick drop. Although still a bit unrefined, he performed numerous wrestling moves. And then… The cries of victory reverberated across the arena. Waiting Room At that moment, someone from outside called Taurus Mask’s name. 2 options Tauruuuuuus Mask! Great work. 3 options It was really cool! Not very good! Why don’t you try wearing fewer clothes? 3 options It would be my pleasure! I have other plans… How much is it? Shopping district 3 options Wait, cheers?! Are you like this everytime you are here? (Just ignore him for now…) Waiting Room The poster showed Taurus Mask right in the center with a confident pose. 1 option Don’t pay it all on your own! Shopping District Waiting Room 3 options (same response) So this is the place, huh. Did you ask when it starts? So… What did they say? 1 option Will you let me help you? 1 option Let’s do it. 3 options Leave it to me, bro! I’ll completely defeat you! My reward will be Taurus himself! Wait for me! People in the audience! Now, it’s time for the hottest plate! What you will see today will be kept burning in your memories! 1 option Come on, I only need a few people… 1 option There! Arena Suddenly from right beside Taurus Mask, someone unexpectedly slapped his back, throwing him to the ground. 1 option That’s enough! 1 option My name is Taurus Mask 2! 1 option Let’s do it! (Battle) Taurus Mask’s high flyer threw Doskoi Mask to the ground. However, Doskoi mask got up immediately, and started running towards his opponent, ramming into him. This took him by surprise, and Taurus Mask was thrown off against one of the posts. “… igh… ma…” Suddenly. Among the loud hustle, only for a second. In a really soft voice. There was a voice calling my name. “… igh… Taurus Ma…” As I’m opening slightly my eyes… I could recognize the figure of a young boy. “Fight… Taurus Mask…!” That small voice was calling out for me. And that small voice gradually got louder and louder. He was grasping both his hands tightly. Such a small body, but his voice was so loud. Ah, that reminds me of my old self. The hero was knocked down… But this kid was still cheering for him, just like myself long ago. …That’s right, I’m a hero. At least, I’ll be the hero for that kid. I know exactly what I must do. Then, what are you doing that you are not getting up? Yes, this is my dream as Taurus Mask. I have been waiting for this for a long time. “Fiiiight! Taurus Maaaask!” Those words give me the power. Those words give me the courage. The hero always stands up. Time and time again. I will show this kid a miracle. Yes, I want him to believe that miracles like these can happen. Taurus Mask stood up. Still shaking, he pointed to the skies. With [Player] watching over him. Everyone was staring at Taurus Mask. That great wrestler that changed him a long time ago. For a moment, his presence overlapped with Taurus Mask. The roar of the ferocious bull reverberated all across the venue. The new legend of Taurus Mask. Today, a new episode starts. Waiting Room 3 options (same response) Eh… Are you seriously asking that? You’re hopeless… 3 options It was awesome! It was alright. I can see myself wearing a mask again…! He got silent. Taurus caressed his mask. Taurus Mask’s face turned red and began to speak quickly. While holding their hands, they rushed to meet the fans. And again as a tag team they marched forward, and the gong rang once more. Taurus Mask Character Quest Episode 1 ーENDー

Location: Kasai Seaside Park [Player] and Taurus Mask moved to a dark and secure place away from the venue. They sit down side to side in the shady part by the rocks. Taurus Mask removed his mask. The feel of the cloth can be transmitted on [Player]’s hands as they held it. His voice echoed next to the ears of [Player]. Then, it suddenly became softer… And as the last firework goes off, the two see it reach its highest. Fireworks fall in the night sky near the shade of the rocky area, and for a moment, their faces illuminated. Through the mask, the two held hands together and the summer night grows late.

Notes

• His full name is Daisuke Ikusaba (居草場ダイスケ).
• His masks depicts a double-bitted axe originating from Greece called labrys. The word is possibly ethymologically related to labyrinthos (labyrinth), which was a structure in Greek mythology to hold a minotaur.
• The star constellation Corona Borealis is considered to represent Ariadne's crown in the legend of Theseus and the minotaur in Greek mythology.
