Location: Resort Pool

.......

...... W-What's up? Do you have something to say to me, Summoner-sama?

A surprisingly fast farewell, then a shockingly fast reunion. Seth, who was bound by a quirk of fate, the words you are about to say to him -

They are...

3 options
It's good to see you again.	What a surprise.	How about a kiss for this reunion?
O-Oh, I'm happy to see you again too...... I guess? Well...... You are my Summoner after all. If you're feeling lonely, I'll offer to give you a loving hug. ...... Did you really miss me that much? Geez, you're always like this.	Sheesh, I was trying my best to look for you...... No, that's not it at all. It's probably a coincidence I ran into [Player]. Or rather, you were out looking for me? Stop staring at my tail like that, damn! What are you grinning like that for? It's just moving on its own alright?!	Even if you pucker your lips like that, I don't want any of it. Y-You can't be serious about kissing out in public though! You really insist on doing that before it gets dark!? W-Well, if it's only just us two, then maybe I'll consider it...... Gah, what am I saying!!

W-Well anyways. We were bound to meet again, I did tell you that didn't I?

Oh, setting aside the reunion...... Aren't your friends calling for you to play with them?

I wanted to see you though.	Don't you want to play with me?

I still need to work for a few more hours. Well, it's about 2 more hours for me.

3 options (Same Response)
You're working here?	I'll wait till you leave work.	I want to hang with you.

...... I'll feel bad for making you wait. I'll come and play with you later.

You already know how it is in Tokyo. We can see each other anytime we want.

[Sometime later...]

I hate working as much as I hate the people that banished my brother. Despite that, I saw him again.

...... I will not be so hesitant. I am Seth. As ruler of the desert, I will not whine about it.

Maybe I should've...... If I was a bit more honest with my feelings, it would've been fine.

I am...... such an idiot.

I finished up with work...... But, I wonder if he's still here?

What am I saying, what I should be doing? Can I still play with you again?

Anyways, he's playing with his friends. Should I go and walk over there?

If it's my brother's personality...... then I should do it. If that's the case, I...... No, I really should do it, but......

I wonder how I feel about them. Do I want to be with them, the person who has the same aura as my brother?

Thanks for your hard work.	You're pretty loud when you talk to yourself.

Gyaaaaaaah! Don't scare me like that!! How long have you been there!?

2 options (Same Response)
I've been here from the start.	Looks like you just finished work.

...... Hmph, you should've told me sooner when you're gonna be here. Anyways, I was trying to look for you too.

As you can see...... I just finished up with work. If you're still up for it, I can play with you till then.

Since I'm part of the staff here, I think I should learn about the ways of having fun around here.

2 options
Sure thing, Seth.	I'll be counting on you, brother.
Yeah! Just leave it to me. I'll show you how much I love you. There's nothing weird about how much you love someone! I'm just saying how much I love my brother!	Hey, you better not be teasing me. I'm only looking to play with you after all. I did say I was gonna live on as Seth right? That's why I should take the lead as your older brother!

Alright. If it's settled, I'll take you to the swimming pool. ...... If my legs freeze up before we get there - What, don't ask!

2 options (Same Response)
Uh, by any chance-	You can't swim?

Of course Seth can't swim! Since my hometown was a desert, I'm a bit terrible when it comes to swimming.

I'm just a little...... Huh? A swim ring? Oh come on! I don't even need it.

[Transitioning...]

2 options
I look great in a swimsuit, right?	I wonder if I look good in a swimsuit.
O-Oh. You look good in that swimsuit too... I think. What, is there something in my eyes?	Your swimsuit? That's an unexpectedly stupid thing to ask about. ...... Well, you always pick something that matches you. Uh, you didn't hear that, right? Sorry you didn't hear what I said, but I'd rather not repeat myself.

Okay, before you jump in, you need to do some warm-up exercises. Make sure you stretch out my legs properly.

B-Besides, it's not like I'm afraid of the water. I-I don't need to brace myself for this!

...... T-There's no way I'm gonna change my mind! Brrr...... it's colder than I thought, and the current's fast too......

It shouldn't be possible for a desert to use this much water......

2 options (Same Response)
(Hold Seth's hand)	(Take both of Seth's hands)

... ! Why did you suddenly grab my hands for?! W-W-What are you planning to do?

2 options (Same Response)
Let's practice swimming.	We're swimming together.

Huh, what are you saying? Geez, you're freaking me out- No, wait!

(My heart is pounding really hard......! Can [Player] hear it too?)

Fine, we'll go swimming...... But don't let go of my hand! Don't!

Huh? Ohhhhh?! [Player]! I can swim?!

I think I can swim on my own without your help. Let go of my hand please, [Player].

Seth and [Player]'s hands separate from each other. After practicing swimming for some time, Seth is slowly losing his fear of the water.

Leaving himself in the current of the pool, he moves himself in the flow rather than actually swimming.

He is experiencing something that he normally wouldn't get in a desert for a while. After standing up to take a breather, Seth realized an uncomfortable feeling.

... He could not set his feet on the floor. As soon he realized it, his fear of water came back.

Seth! !	Ash! !

While his consciousness was fading away, he could hear a nostalgic voice from somewhere.

Bro... ther?

3 options (Same Response)
It's [Player].	Yes, it's your brother.	Are you okay, little brother?

Ah, big brother. I get it, I must've died.

Huh...... Big brother is wearing a swimsuit......? Eh, eh?

Uwaaaaaaah, brother, broooootheeeer.

Where...? Where am I?! Oh, I see. I must've drowned back there.

Hah, so [Player] rescued me. I see. ...... Oh wait a minute. Wait a minute?

How did I regain consciousness after you saved me? There wasn't any kind of artificial respiration...... Wait.

3 options
I-It's something different.	It was an act of nature!	Don't worry, you're fine.
... ?! Well, okay then. Freak acts of nature don't count.		T-That's nice... of you.

I guess...... I shown myself to be uncool again.

I wanted to show you that I'm a cool guy. I wanted to show you if I grew as a person from that time.

I...... am still uncool.

3 options (Same Response)
That's not true, Ash.	It's not good to torment yourself over it.	Relaxing is important too.

...... Thanks, [Player]. But, I've already decided.

My brother, Seth, who is strong and wild - I decided to live on as him, my brother who I admired.

1 option
You're happy about acting like a spoiled child.

......I-am-warning-you! Don't say things like that to change my mind!

...... But, even if I can't become like him...... Sometimes...... I need to rely on you.

2 options (Same Response)
Are we friends?	Are we lovers?

...... I'm Seth. And you - you're not Seth.

There will be something for me...... in the future.

While still having a smug, awkward smile on his face, Seth took [Player]'s hand.

Seth taking the lead with [Player], they both started running to the resort.
