Title: Taurus Mask's Christmas
Location: Santa School
Outside
As the battle tournament that wrapped up in a whirlpool of enthusiasm finished,
this year’s Christmas Eve was coming to a close.
[Player] left the busy assembly hall,
and on a terrace, he looked up at the starry sky.
Powdered snow dancing in the air, and a bright moon floating in the sky.
It looked like they were blessing Santa on his journey.
|
Hey, Brother!
So this is where you were.
|
|

| Good work, Taurus Mask
|
Aren’t you going to catch a cold!?
|
|
Oh, thank you!
It was quite hard being a host and a player at the same time!
|
|
|
Pros have to wear their battling suit in public!
This cold is nothing!
|
|
|
That’s right, Brother.
If you are free, could you lend me a moment?
|
|
A fan came to see the match and he really
wants to talk to you.
|
|
Come with me and you will see!
|
Lounge
As Taurus Mask indicated,
he waited in the lounge for a few minutes.
And without any invitation,
the fan finally showed up.
|
Uhmm… !
You are [Player] Mask-san, right?
|
| 2 options
|
| Indeed, I’m [Player] Mask!
|
Have we met before?
|
|
Wah, it’s really you.
Sorry for calling you out so suddenly.
|
|
|
No, this should be the first time we’ve met…. ?
W-why are you making that face?
|
|
|
I-I’m Daisuke Ikusaba.
I’m the captain of the Yoyogi Academy wrestling club.
|
|
Th-that’s right, I was the one who asked
Taurus Mask… -san to hold the tournament here.
|
|
… Thank you for participating in the tournament.
It was a big success thanks to you.

|
| You are welcome
|
Was that everything you wanted to say?
|
… Uh huh
|
|
Yeah, so… I, was watching your last match,
and somehow I, err…
|
|
I s-seem to have become your fan!
|
|
You were impressive, your technique was brilliant, and
you even were able to encourage your partner.
|
|
Everytime I stand on the ring I begin to lose myself, I get tense
and lose courage, you have something that I don’t have in myself.
|
|
Without any doubt, you were the real hero on the ring.
I really admire y… I respect you.
|
|
That’s… All I wanted to tell you…

|
| All this praise is going to make me feel embarrassed...
|
I did my best because of my partner
|
Wasn’t Taurus Mask really cool too?
|
|
|
|
Yes, I think it was a fantastic tag team.
Your breaths were on sync, it’s hard to imagine that you come from different schools.
|
|
|
Eh?! Thank… no!
W-why am I saying thanks anyway, ahahaha?!
|
|
|
… Looking at you fight, I… it gave me the courage.
Someday, I wish to be like you…
|
|
Dignified, able to stand up on my own…
And being able to show my true face on the ring, that’s the kind of hero I aim to be.
|
|
So… Until that day arrives,
please let me be one of your fans.
|
|
When I’m able to stand up on my own on the ring,
… then, instead of your fan, I would…
|
|
I-I would like to become your... friend!

|
| I’ll be waiting
|
I’ll think about it
|
|
Oh! T-thank you so much.
I’ll do my very best!
|
|
… O-oh, right,
can I ask you one more thing?
|
|
… W-what do you think…
about Ta… Taurus Mask-san?
|
| 3 options
|
| Say that he’s an annoying and obnoxious guy
|
Say praises about him
|
Say that you love him
|
|
Ahahaha, I, I see… What a shame.
|
|
Yes, even if I’m disliked
it cannot be helped… haha.
|
|
“He’s the best”, “There’s no better kind-hearted person”,
“I’m happy to have met him”, etc…
Saying all the praises that he could think of,
[Player] kept complimenting Taurus Mask.
|
H-hey, come on, t-that’s enoooough!
Or my face is going to turn all r-red!
|
|
|
Uhm… Y-you love him…?!
T-that’s a lie, r… right?!
|
|
U-uhm, I’m not Taurus Mask so I
wouldn’t know for sure, but…
|
|
… I-I think Taurus Mask-san thinks the
same way about you, [Player]-san…
|
|
|
… W-well then, I have to go.
I’ll see you again on the ring.
|
Without waiting for a response, Daisuke
ran away quickly.
Outside
|
… Yo, how was it, Brother?
Did you recieve a fan letter too?

|
| Hey, when did you arrive!?
|
Wah, from where did you…
|
|
Ahahaha, did I scare you?
I thought you were done talking with the fan.
|
|
… Sorry for making you talk
with a stranger while you were taking a breather.
|
|
Now, let’s go back to the venue, Brother.
|
Taurus Mask tapped [Player]’s shoulder,
and while they were making their way back to the party…
He quietly muttered something,
so [Player] couldn’t hear it.
