Xolotl’s Character Quest Chapter 1: Before the strength

Background:Blackscreen

“Player, if it pleases you join me for tea party.”

A few days ago, a simple but elegant letter arrived. The designated place was the Roppongi Academy’s Botanical Garden.


Location:Roppongi Academy’s Botanical Garden.

It is filled with a variety of different greens, mixed with clean air and giving a gentle smell. The smell of sweets, black tea and the nectar of flowers. If you gave it a color, it would be a pale but rich color.

The smell of sweets, black tea and the nectar of flowers. If you gave it a color, it would be a pale but rich color.

Enjoying the rich colors that he had prepared for the eyes and nose, the expectations for the tea party increases.

The dog beastman that is the host this time, meets you with a tense but cheerful face.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Welcome, I had been waiting to you. Come in, please take a seat.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I will do my best today to serve as your host!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

At the time of the Roppongi Guild dispute, I made a promise to you.

Xolotl expression happy.png

To fulfill this promise I worked hard to prepare this. Please enjoy it.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I ordered delicious sweets for this. Enjoy your meal.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I’ll brew the tea now. It has improved considerably since that time at New Year.

3 option
Delicious How did you get these tea leaves? . I want to eat you.
Xolotl expression happy.png

You think so?! Hooray, I’m so happy.

Xolotl expression happy.png

Then, please, enjoy it to your heart’s content.
There’s plenty of tea and sweets!

Xolotl expression happy.png

These are leaves from the plants I raised myself. I worked earnestly to raise them.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I invited a friend to meet me today, so I thought it would be nice to use things I had grown myself

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Iieeeh!? I’m not tasty at all!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

I’m not a sacrifice, please stop! ...eh? It was a joke

Xolotl expression happy.png

Ah…. I’m so glad!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I will pour you more tea. There are still some sweets, so please do not hesitate.


Xolotl expression sad.png

Actually...These last few days, Mrs. Hakumen hasn’t let me enjoy my afternoon tea time here.


Xolotl expression happy.png

That’s why there are so many sweets. Please eat as much as you want!


Xolotl expression neutral.png

And then, if you want I could show you how I did it.


Xolotl expression anger.png

I must become stronger so that I can protect Mrs. Hakumen.


Xolotl expression happy.png

Ah, that’s right, I’m actually preparing souvenirs for you! Yes, the bathing salts and the herbarium I made.


Xolotl expression neutral.png

Would you like to make a potpurri together? There are plenty of materials that can be prepared.


Xolotl expression sad.png

Even among the dog beastmen there are some that are not good with strong smells, and try to avoid them.


Xolotl expression sad.png

Garmr seems to be one of them.


Xolotl expression happy.png

Isn't it fun to create and exchange your favorite smell?

2 options
Is that like marking? I think that’s fun.
Xolotl expression shocked.png

…Aaaahhhhh!I-I didn’t mean it that way!

Xolotl expression flustered.png

I just wanted to make you happy!

Xolotl expression flustered.png

You really think so! Then, after this would you like to do some.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I have many recommendations!

2 options
I hadn’t thought about it, but this is too comfortable ... Shouldn’t you become a butler already…?
Xolotl expression anger.png

I can’t do that! I must become strong!

2 options
Why? If I remember correctly, you said the same thing before...
Xolotl expression sad.png

Aahh…..Well, uhm….

At that moment. The sacred artifact wrapped around Xolotl’s arm shines to remember something.

...And then, before Xolotl could open his mouth ――――

――――The world Trembled.


Location:Jungle

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Eeehhh!? What’s this? An earthquake?!

Xolotl expression sad.png

….uhm, What happened?

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Ayieeeeee! My tea-set is gone!

Xolotl expression sad.png

Aah, after I worked so hard to make it for today!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Eh? the botanical garden has...become a jungle?!

2 options
This may be... Another world
Xolotl expression shocked.png

Another world…? Then, this is a really scary!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

I really want to go baaaack! Where the hell is this?!――――

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Eh? Uh, this place is…?

Xolotl expression sad.png

Hm, how….this is my home world(El Dorado).

Xolotl expression sad.png

I, I...have come back…?

Xolotl expression shocked.png

What is this? What is this?!

(Neutral face)
Xololt?:……

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Hyyyeeeeee ! W-why?!

(Surprised face)
Xolotl?:….hmm?eh!!

(Surprised face)
Xolotl?:Uwaaaaaaahhh!! Hyeeee!!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Eeeeehhh?! That’s me! There are two me, why?!

3 options
You multiplied…? Where did I see something like this before...? You have eyes?!
Xolotl expression sad.png

I run away while crying! Now that I see it, I look a bit pathetic...

Xolotl expression anger.png

….W-wah, this is not the time to be saying those things!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

What on earth am I running away from?...No, this place...if I remember well...

Barrier:

Xolotl expression shocked.png

···!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Ah, aaaahhhh…..! Those persons are…!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Then, that means….this place is….

Xolotl expression sad.png

Before I ran away from this world… The past world.

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Hi….HYEEEEEEE?!

2 options
Xolotl?! Where are you?
Xolotl expression sad.png

...I’m sorry. I was upset.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

It will be troublesome if we’re found. Because I’m being chased.

Xolotl expression sad.png

Technically, my past self is the one being chased.

2 options
You said this is the past. What do you mean by that?
Xolotl expression sad.png

Yes, allow me to explain.

Xolotl expression sad.png

I talked about this at New Year but, I ran away from a certain world.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

This world. This world’s name is “El Dorado”.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Once, it was a world with a star that shone in the sky.

Xolotl expression sad.png

...No, the reason I’m running away now is, the star that shines in the sky is losing it’s brilliance.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Because this world is promised to Perish.

2 options
A world that’s meant to be destroyed…? Like Surtr’s Yggdrasil?
Xolotl expression neutral.png

They’re a little different. This world repeats a cycle of Creation and Destruction. After it is destroyed, the world is reborn.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

According to what I have heard, the parallel world Yggdrasil, is a world that “after its destruction will be handed down to another race(humans)”

Xolotl expression neutral.png

In turn, El Dorado is a world that is repeatedly created and destroyed without being in the hands of another race (humans).

Xolotl expression sad.png

Among the 23 worlds...like Devaloka, are there any that are similar?We’re currently investigating even in the life of Mrs. Hakumen, but―――

Xolotl expression neutral.png

It seems that El Dorado’s Agent and Devaloka’s Agent are connected to the same guild.

Xolotl expression sad.png

...Sorry, I’m rambling. El Dorado is a world that needs to be reborn after its destruction.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

To create a new star my friends gave up their lives, so they could save the world.

Xolotl expression sad.png

And I was chosen to be the sacrifice necessary to move the sun.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

That was a great….huh, a great honor.

Xolotl expression sad.png

...But, I...I ran away.

Xolotl expression sad.png

It was really, really scary.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I didn’t want to believe I had to die, so I ran away with all I had.

Xolotl expression sad.png

I was…weak.

Xolotl expression sad.png

I couldn’t protect something as big as the world. I could barely protect myself

Xolotl expression neutral.png

That coward came to Tokyo crying.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I was…a useless watchdog who couldn’t protect the place it was supposed to.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I wanted to change that me, to become stronger...

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I wanted to be a bodyguard that could protect someone. To be a servant that could protect their lord.

Xolotl expression sad.png

And fix what happened---ah.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I see, that’s why, I came back now?!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

For the sake of this day, I will….!

Barrier:

2 options
They found us! Let’s run away Xolotl!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Aaahhh! Surely my past self will get the wrong idea.

Xolotl expression flustered.png

Aahh, Player! I have a request.

Xolotl expression sad.png

Could you please help my past self?

2 options
Of course, you don’t even have to ask! It’s for your sake!
Xolotl expression sad.png

Ah, thank you very much!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Then, this way! I most like went that way.

Xolotl expression sad.png

….It’s a very old memory, so there’s a chance I’m wrong!

2 options
I trust you! If you’re wrong, I’ll punish you!

Xololt:(happy face)
Thank you very much! That gentleness has reached me….!

Xololt:(shocked face)
Hyee, this is the same feeling I get before Mrs. Hakumen hits me!

Xolotl expression anger.png

Th-this way, let’s hurry!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

This way! Please be careful where you step!

Xolotl expression sad.png

If they catch us, we will be taken away!

2 options
You move so easily around here... (Run into trouble)

Xololt:(happy face)
… Well, it’s because this is my home world.

Xololt:(sad face)
Also...I fled this way once.

Xololt:(shocked face)
A-Are you okay? If you’re having trouble, I can carry you.

Xolotl expression happy.png

I maybe be weak when it comes to fights, but I’m quite strong!

With Xolotl’s guidance, we continued pushing through.

Leaves rubbed my body here and there. And the smell of the plants forced its way into my lungs.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Aah, I remember now! Around this area!

Xolotl expression sad.png

Around here I wished to escape. And was called to Tokyo

2 options
In other words, around here is your past self, right?
Xolotl expression neutral.png

Ye-Yes. It’s probable. I think if we look around we’ll find my past self.

2 options
That’s sounds difficult. With all the vegetation!
Xolotl expression neutral.png

...Yes, that’s something that can’t be helped

Xolotl expression anger.png

This world demands a sacrifice.

A stone spear takes the shape of a plant and chases Xolotl and Player.

It was something like a grass that resembled an arrowhead made of bright ore, while also looking like a snake. It was something with a will of its own.

Xolotl expression sad.png

That’s Turquoise Snake… Aah, after all I'm following my past self-

Xolotl looks at Player with a thoughtful expression. And said.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Player please find my past self.


Xolotl expression neutral.png

The me from that time is more scared than myself, if someone wishes to save him, he will suddenly cry.


Xolotl expression neutral.png

Please, save that me. Just getting close to him will be fine.


Xolotl expression sad.png

I was the coward that forsook the world, nobody was going to save me.


Xolotl expression neutral.png

And hopefully, my future self has become that strong.

Xolotl expression happy.png

...please, tell him that

2 options
What do you mean? Xolotl, what are you thinking?
Xolotl expression anger.png

We cannot escape from that snake. It won’t give up until it is given something.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

So, I will become the sacrifice that will carry the sun to the top of the heavens. Right now it is moving to fulfill it’s Role of “carrying the sacrifice dedicated to the world”.

Xolotl expression sad.png

Until it achieves that, it will never stop…Without a scapegoat, nobody will run away.

Xolotl expression sad.png

――――So-Someone has to become the sacrifice.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

…A snake with the rule to “Not let everyone escape”. The me from that time abandoned my friends to survive.

Xolotl expression sad.png

T-that’s why, this time I-I will… become the sacrifice.

Xolotl expression happy.png

Because the me from the past became the sacrifice, it wouldn’t make sense for me to survive...It would be weird, right?

Xolotl expression sad.png

Besides...I always regretted abandoning my friends...

Xolotl expression neutral.png

That’s why, I will stop running away, and...wishing I can be stronger...!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

That opportunity has come to me.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I’ll become the sacrifice instead of my past self, I’m certain I can do it!

Xolotl expression anger.png

I think I have become stronger. I think I have become a splendid servant that can protect someone else.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

It’s true that I’m still will when compared to you, but

Xolotl expression flustered.png

But even so, don’t you think I have become stronger?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Yes! That’s why. I want to save the world!

2 options
―― (Run away with Xolotl)
Xolotl expression neutral.png

It’s okay.

Xolotl expression happy.png

Thank you. For worrying for my sake.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

But, please run away.

Xolotl expression anger.png

At this rate, you will be captured too.

2 options
―― (Stay with Xolotl)
Xolotl expression anger.png

Please, escape

Xolotl expression neutral.png

There’s still time. And I will hold them here...

Xolotl expression sad.png

I’m not trembling. I’m not trembling so….

Xolotl expression sad.png

I will see this through

2 options
―― I won’t accept that you become the sacrifice.
Xolotl expression flustered.png

P-please… . It’s okay if you don’t keep me company anymore…

Xolotl expression sad.png

I’m begging you...

Xolotl expression sad.png

Please...don’t burden me….with those words

Turquoise Snake:

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Oh, see, we’re already surrounded.

Xolotl expression sad.png

Please, please...

2 options
―― I won’t accept that you become the sacrifice.
Xolotl expression neutral.png

(Even so, remain at his side)

Xolotl expression sad.png

Uuuh…!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

I’m not scared!

Xolotl expression anger.png

I’ve become strong! I’ve worked hard since Valentine’s day!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

All you have to do is leave me.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

If, If you do that, you won’t be chased...

Xolotl expression sad.png

So, so…

Xolotl expression sad.png

I’m begging you….please, run away…!

2 options
I won’t run away (Hold your ground)
2 options
I will never run away! (Confront the stone snake))

Background: Black screen

(surprised face)
Xolotl from the past:····?!

After I had fled the sacrifice ceremony...something unknown had happened in front of me.

Another me was going to become the sacrifice. And I saw it from behind.

I do not know who is the one waving that sword, but they seem to be desperately trying to help me.

That person was really strong.

Trying to save me, the coward that forsook the world and ran away.

Not abandoning me who betrayed the world.

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Hyee! Aaaahh! Hii, I want to run away, run aw-

Xolotl expression anger.png

―――No, never, I won’t run away… Aaaahhh, Iiieeehhh!

I do not know what I am fighting with him.

But, he seems to be desperately trying to become stronger

I want to be stronger. As long as I have that desire, that must be me.

I hate my weak self, that I can’t change.

Other me, do you regret that you did not want to die with all your heart and betrayed the world?

Because , even now I’m running away, and it’s so painful.

And that me is determined to repent for his failure.

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Hiiii, Aaahhhhh!..Uwaaaahh!

That’s why, with a face that seems about to cry, with such trembling limbs.

He’s standing there.

Perhaps, that Other Me is much stronger than I am.

But, why is it?

That I don’t want the strength that Other Me has.

2 options
They’re too many. There’s no end to this.
Xolotl expression shocked.png

Player, please run away! At this rate, you will get caught.

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past:(They will get caught, because I ran away...)

1 options
How many times do I have to say it
Xolotl expression neutral.png

Player...

Xolotl from the past:(oh, this person is really strong, what exactly is it that’s different from me...?)

Xolotl expression sad.png

Why are you going this far, for someone as weak as me?

Xolotl expression sad.png

I’m a coward that ran away at such an important time… So, I have to die here...

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Even though I should be strong enough to do this….

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past:(At least, that me is a lot stronger than this me that hides)

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past:(At least, that me is a lot stronger than this me that hides)

Xolotl from the past: (but that person is even stronger)

2 options
No! That’s not it!
Xolotl expression shocked.png

Xolotl:(surprised face)
Xolotl from the past: eh!?

2 options
The strength you sought wasn’t The thing that you really wanted

A strength to die like this! Please tell me it’s something different! ...Xolotl!

Xolotl from the past:(...!)

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past: (The thing that I really wanted…?The strength…that I sought?)

Xolotl expression shocked.png

But, But I am the coward that ran away, and this is a chance to fix that mistake…!

Xolotl expression sad.png

I had to become stronger for that….

Xolotl from the past: (I….wanted to be stronger...But never...)

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past: (oh, never….)

Xolotl from the past: (never for the sake of dying)

(Surprised face)
Xolotl from the past:Aiyeeeeee! I’m scareeeeeed!

Xolotl from the past: (I….wanted to be stronger...But never...)

(sad face)
Xolotl from the past: But, But…

(angry face)
Xolotl from the past: Someone dying because of me It’s something I won’t accept!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

...eh, my past self?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Why...? After all...the me from the past is much weaker than the current me.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Even though he's a wimp that runs away...

1 options
It’s not like that!

(pissed off face)
Xolotl from the past: I’m scareeeed!

You knew it from the beginning, you’re strong After all, you met the future you Xolotl...
Xolotl expression sad.png

…huh?

Xolotl expression sad.png

Ueeeee!

Xolotl expression shocked.png

I, I… really don’t want to die...!

Xolotl expression sad.png

But, If I didn’t do it, becoming stronger in Tokyo….

Xolotl expression sad.png

I thought it would be proof of my ….growth!

2 options (Same Response)
But if you did that There wouldn’t be a happy ending.
Xolotl expression sad.png

Yes, yes… You’re right

Xolotl expression sad.png

Everyone would be sad...I would hate it too….

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I also want a happy ending...

Xolotl expression sad.png

I also, I also...like being together with everyone...

Xolotl expression sad.png
  • whines*…I...
Xolotl expression sad.png

The...the thing I must protect, the strength I want….

Turquoise Snake:...!

1 option
Damn it!
Xolotl expression anger.png

Giant tree of miracles that carries the wishes of That Hero, appear here!

Xolotl expression anger.png

Ehcatl Mayahuel!!

That’s the rule bequeathed to the giant tree by the Hero Exiled from the World

Turquoise Snake entangles itself around the giant tree, as if to snuggle up to the Original Lord

Xolotl expression anger.png

...Are you injured, Player?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Those snakes were going to consecrate me as a sacrifice to the Hero Exiled from the World

Xolotl expression neutral.png

But that Giant tree left by that Hero appeared, and protected us, so it seems that it has stopped its contradictory commanded movement.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I didn't think that I would get this result, either. Ha ha, I was lucky .....

1 option
Thank you, Xolotl
Xolotl expression neutral.png

No, it’s what a bodyguard does.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

It is my duty to protect you.

Xolotl expression happy.png

Heh heh...that sounded a bit cool.

Xolotl expression flustered.png

But, that you’re safe makes me really happy

Xolotl expression happy.png

This emotion is the answer.

Xolotl expression happy.png

The strength I was looking for, I feel like I understand it now

Xolotl from the past: I don’t want for others or myself to become victims.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

After all, the power I wished for was-----

Both Xolotl:----- The power to live with those precious persons!

Suddenly, time stopped.

The world loses its shape, as if it were in response to Xolotl’s new determination.

Then, the Xolotl of the past turns to light, and his loses its form

(surprised face)
Xolotl from the past:……...ah?

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Ayeeeeeeee! I’m disappeariiing!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

The surrounding vegetation disappearing too… The other world seems to be gone.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Apparently, my past self and my current self were the foundation of this alternate world.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Then, what I brought over was a remainder of a thought, a “connection” to my past self...

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I hated the me that ran away, I thought that to become strong I couldn’t run away.

Xolotl from the past:But, I was wrong. That’s what I realized on this occasion.

(happy face)
Xolotl from the past:What I wished for was, such a simple thing.

Xolotl from the past:That’s why I, one day surely------(Xololt from the past vanishes)

Xolotl expression neutral.png

One day I’ll get the power to protect the persons important to me. Not to die for them, but to live with them.

Xolotl expression happy.png

That’s what I learned, and I think my past self is satisfied with that.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

There’s a chance...that our bond will bring us together once more. Perhaps, it will bring us together when I go to meet Mrs. Hakumen and you

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Ah, but, if my past self was summoned, how different would it be from the current me?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Because this is a matter of another world, could it receive a different treatment?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Maybe...I might have forgotten in the world beyond. I do not know the real place...

While the other world disappeared, only Xolotl’s voice echoed.

It was dignified and firm, like a flower blooming.

Xolotl expression sad.png

For a long time I regretted it, that’s why...

Xolotl expression sad.png

I had to do that, I had been thinking what happened after that.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I had the wrong idea for a while.

Xolotl expression happy.png

What I had to do was help you and my past self.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Ehm, Player.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

If I become stronger, and this world appears again.

Xolotl expression sad.png

Do you think I could make it so that no one dies this time?

Xolotl expression neutral.png

My true goal as a bodyguard, is to make sure no one dies in this world.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

That’s what I believe.

2 options (Same Response)
I’m sure you can do it I’m sure there’s another way
Xolotl expression happy.png

Thank you, Player.

Xolotl expression neutral.png

Only by hearing you say it, I get the feeling that it can be done

Xolotl expression happy.png

I will do it!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I will certainly protect both you and Mrs Hakumen.

Xolotl expression happy.png

That’s the strength I believe in! Everyone’s wellbeing is my top priority!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I will become stronger! A lot more!

Xolotl expression anger.png

Enough to protect everyone! Enough to protect the world!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

So, if anything happens, hide behind my body!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I will absolutely protect you!

Xolotl expression neutral.png

I don’t mean at the cost of my life, so---

Xolotl expression flustered.png

If you would let me be by your side, it would make me happy...


Location:Roppongi Academy’s Botanical Garden.

When we returned to Tokyo, there was a slight tremor.

Behind a blushing Xolotl, a cup that was on top of the table fell.

Xolotl expression shocked.png

Aiyeeeeee! There’s still an enemy around?!

Xolotl expression sad.png

A-are you okay, player?

Xolotl expression anger.png

I will...protect you!

A lively voice echoed in the botanic garden.
It was a voice that hadn’t changed from the one a moment ago.

Sure, at face value nothing had changed. But Xolotl had certainly grown.

From now on, he will continue wishing for strength and persevere.

So, one day... he becomes someone who can save the world.
