Ehm... So, where in the world is that Xolotl guy?

Hmm, Xototl-dono is... from what I heard, doing his first training on the academy he assist since New Year

1 option
Training?

Indeed, training. If I remember correctly—— something like fighting training and shooting training.

S-Shooting training!?

As expected! You said that he was a strong dog after all! Certainly, like and angry grandpa.

Haha... he may be misunderstood as clumsy, but he’s very kind; a really nice person.

2 options
Where are we going?	I'm tired, so give me a piggyback.
	Ooh, me too, me too! Piggyback, piggyback! Agyou-dono, and even (Player)-dono! Too heavy! I’ll collapse! I——I’m sorry. Please, forgive my failure.

Well then, let’s go.

The academy in which Xototl-dono is affiliated, is a prestigious school in Roppongi——the [Roppongi Academy].

Here, is the Minato Wand. The shooting training place of the [Roppongi Academy].

The Roppongi Academy, a super celebrity school in the 23 wands of Tokyo, where the rulers of political and business circles attend.

Every girl who attend the academy is accompanied by multiple attendants. This place is where those attendants can do various kind of training.

Uhyaaah! That was a big noise. What was that!?

There’s no gun on Wanokuni. Seeing them for the first time is really surprising.

1 option
More importantly, can we enter?

When I asked Xototl-dono, he said the he’d gladly arrange a visit authorization.

It’s seems to be a place more frightening than I was thinking. That Xototl guy is in a place like this?

Uuuuu, I’m getting nervous! Let’s meet him quickly, and leave this place!

He'll stand out due to stature, he’ll soon... Aah, there. I can see his head over there.

.........

Oooh, cool! That’s great, someone like him is good!

Sorry for making you wait. I wish you a happy New Year, Xototl-dono.

Ajabieeeeeeeeee!?!

Xototl escaped so fast, to the point of creating an afterimage, like if he got scared because Moritaka’s calling.

.........

Crying and escaping so powerfully like that, it feels like it was us who received the shock instead.

Xototl-dono. I'm glad you're well. I’m counting on you this year too.

Eh? Ah! Moritaka-kun!? Y-You arrived earlier than I expected...

U-Uhm, sorry for scaring you. My name is Agyou. A komainu.

Then, here’s (Player)-dono. My classmate.

2 options (Same Response)
Nice to meet you.	That was a nice escape.

Let’s leave the greeting for later and move to the coffee room. Uhm... Because this could bother you.

Hey. Doesn’t it seem that the people around here are looking at us?

Water Maid:( face) Giggle* Poor Xototl, crying again.

Fire Kurohuku:( face) Aah, That’s the reason why Hakumen-sama——No. That Hakumen get rid of him.

...You. If you make fun of my friend——

N-No, Moritaka. It’s the truth after all...

I-It can’t be helped that they make fun of me... Now, let’s move immediately.

Such strong guy... What’s wrong with him?

Here, is the skyscraper that the Roppongi Academy is proud about. The cafeteria inside the academy.

A cafeteria normally used by the students, and also a place to entertain guests.

Or a place where the students of the Roppongi Academy learn how to brewing different kinds of tea and coffee and entertain their master’s guests.

.........

Still with his hands tottering——Xototl was pouring tea on a teacup.

I-It may be low-grade tea but, h-heree!

While continuing pouring tea for the three, Xototl presented a teacup in front of (Player).

1 option
Thanks for the drink.

(*Gulp*...)

Xototl stared fixedly at (Player) and the others who were putting the teacup into their mouths and drank it.

...Yes, from my point of view, I think it’s delicious. You improved your skill even more, Xototl-dono.

T-Thank you very much! Moritaka-kun! Aah, thank goodness. I finally know the result of my training!

1 option
Thank you for the delicious tea.

Ahaa. I-I’m really happy. Even If I train preparing tea, I have nobody who could drink it.

Before Hakumen-sama returns, I have to know how to pour some delicious tea properly——

——because I’m not qualified to be an attendant!

Uuu, bitter... Grandpa was the same though. Why do they like something like this...?

Aah, there's wagashi too. I specifically prepared them when I heard that Moritaka-kun and the others will come-

No, more importantly-

Don't you like sweetness?

I like it, buuuut! More importantly! I want to hear the details of what happened before. What was that?

What do you mean before?

You said that "it couldn't be helped that they make fun of you"!

You are a guardian dog too, right? You're strong too, right? Why didn't you say something back?

2 options (Same Response)
Why didn't you say something back?	Agyou, calm down.

Aah, that thing. That’s——because what they say it’s the truth.

Eh?

I see. You said that you were a komainu, right? In other words, you have the "Role" to protect something.

Agyou-kun. Could you please listen my story a little?

What do you mean by... a story? It’s unfitting as a komainu candidate——

I’m a useless guardian dog that——betrayed the person I had to protect, the place I had to protect,

Moreover——twice.

Eh?

The other world where Xototl lived before, El Dorado.

On that land, there was an incident that made the stars of that universe lose their shine.

Xototl’s friends sacrificed their own bodies, became new stars, and saved the world.

However, Xototl escaped, blowing like the wind, and——came to this Tokyo.

I’m like this since old times. I was scared and escaped even from my own home world.

To change myself... I took this job.

To become a [bodyguard] that would protect someone. To train my body, to become the [role] of protecting the master I’m supposed to protect.

1 option
That was, the first time?

Xototl nodded at (Player)’s words without saying anything.

I think you may not know this but, the home of my master, Tokyo Casino turn into a fire a few days ago——

Ah, the name of that master is Hakumen-sama though——Hm?

What’s wrong, (Player)-dono? You suddenly slipped down from your chair!

3 options
It's nothing.	It was nothing.	Something like that really happened...?

Hakumen-sama went missing. I——wasn’t able to protect her.

However, this time! For the time when Hakumen-sama returns——

...Hey, you. Ehm, Xototl, wasn’t it?

Can I ask you something? ...Why are you that person’s——

Not that person! Hakumen-sama!

Ah, yes, sorry. Ehm, why did you choose Hakumen-sama?

...Hakumen-sama it’s a strict person. I’ve been hit with a whip as a punishment pretty much every day.

But, I know that Hakumen-sama is—— a person who would never abandon a servant.

No matter how useless and pathetic I could be, how many times I’m being clumsy... she allowed me to be at her side.

One day, I tripped and broke a really big gorgeous vase.

Hakumen-sama is a relaxed person, even with furnishing. That vase was tens of million coins worth. It couldn’t be repaired.

When I kneeled down, prepared to being fired...Hakumen-sama said this—

——Do you want to quit? Taking responsibility for failing?

Hah, don’t say such stupid things. You said that you were mine, right?

This Hakumen, at least respect those who stand on the top. Well, please be extra careful next time.

She’s——A good master.

Yees!

I got smacked a lot because she said, "you’ll receive a harsh punishment anyway" though——

It huuuurt, I wanted to cryy!

Anyway, I——truly wanted to be next to that person.

Next to that person is——the place the where current me belongs to after all.

.........

Ah, it’s this time already? I have to make the arrangements for the Hakumen-sama’s searching posters!

Aah, we stayed for too much long. Well then, that will do for today. See you again.

Yes. Thank you, Moritaka-kun. Let’s keep in contact. I’m counting on you this year too.

Allow me to attend you with those posters next time. Xototl-dono, it’s great that you told us about your determination.

.........

Agyou-kun. I apologize if it was a boring story. Let’s go to eat together next time.

But, for a komainu like you. For a person like me, who have the same "Role" of protecting——I wanted you to hear that story.

I already did my new vows for this New Year!

Y-You don’t have to apologize! It... would make a great reference for me. Thank you!

A new... place that I have to protect...
