Event Quest:Fenrir and the Treasure

[Translated by Kukuru]

---

Location: Fenrir's Room

This is Ueno dormitory of the Taitou ward of Tokyo. (Pets are allowed)

On the day before vacation, Fenrir who shut himself in his job and secured the war funds, was checking the accessories that he will be buying the next day.

Flipping through the pages and thinking carefully about what to buy, a page unexpectedly caught his attention.

Hrm...... Accessory fortune telling. My predertmined fate will be revealed by what I purchase?

"Buy a silver ring this month and your fate regarding love will really go up! You will get closer with the person whom you have feelings for~! ☆" .......

Hmph...... I am a lone, hungry wolf of twilight. I do not have a love interest!

It seems to be limited down to the future however. Wandering about in a vague sea, the future cannot be foreseen.

If such an existence were to appear before my very eyes, I have no intention of being easily tamed...... Hmph.

My name is Fenrir, who opens the forbidden book. I am the one who will check for the lucky item!

Hmm, I saw an omen. According to the star reading, a lucky omen comes from a "sword."

There was a silver necklace in the shape of a sword.

No...... Wait. A sword?

Something crossed Fenrir's mind at that moment. It was the figure of a Summoner who was wielding a sword in hand.

My temporary master, [Player]. They helped me...... I haven't recognized them as a real master.

Will they be the one who will cut my ominous rope seal one day? Then -

"Severing the undesirable fate." Fenrir thinks about his temporary master who wielded a sword.

Someday, they will be the ones who will cut Fenrir's ominous rope seal. When he thinks about that however, he runs into the same dead end every time.

Even if they were "a trustworthy person," do I think that this seal is truly "undesirable"?

Also, this seal is truly -

Thinking as far as that, Fenrir shakes his head and shuts off his thoughts as usual.

Inconceivable, hah. What am I thinking?! I'm certain they're going to trick me. They are just the same as the others.

On the other hand, I suppose I can let myself get tricked by them. No, what a stupid delusion I'm indulging myself in! Fenrir should feel ashamed!

No no, but but but - I must show them gratitude for helping me, (mutter mutter)......

Fenrir kept answering his own questions for quite some time. Eventually, he reached his hand out for the smartphone.

Location: Shinjuku

On the next day, Fenrir arrived at the meeting place. He was walking around in circles, fidgeting.

The hanging darkness comes down, he brought joy in shaking the atmosphere. Respond to my call and you will come to the meeting place.

My temporary master has not come...... Are they not coming? How can this be? It has already been 3 seconds since the appointed time!

Perhaps I shouldn't have placed my trust in them. Has my fate come to an end -

Wait, no. Are they not viewing this scene from afar? There is no possibility that they've immersed themselves in joy.

In other words, it is abandonment play...... (Gulp). Their ulterior motive is to humiliate me too......!

Fine, I'll accept it, temporary master! No matter how much you neglect me, my pride is impossible to shatter!!

3 options (Same Response)
Sorry to keep you waiting.	Have I kept you waiting?	That's quite the scheme there.

Gah, how absurd, temporary master! I was not waiting for you in particular. This so happened to be a coincidence that I arrived here early!

2 options
How thoughtful, Fenrir.	Hey, your tail is......
	Hah!? I-I'm trying to betray my own feelings - S-Stop looking at my tail!!

Right, let's go. To the accessory shop for the power of silver. This is the time to release the sealed wallet string!

Moreover, there is one thing I want to confirm from the temporary master. Putting aside that I invited you, there is something I cannot comprehend.

Temporary master, why have you decided to come with me? Are you interested in the power of silver also?

2 options
I want the power of silver too.	I want the lone wolf.
I see, then we think alike. If we are under an agreement, then let us adopt some new abilities together.	[Player]?! So...... You want this grim wolf...... ...... No, you're trying to deceive me. So you had the plan to deceive me like that. I will not fall for that trick, no matter what!!

I will lead the way to the accessory shop. You will follow from behind.

Why? I've decided it. The area around here is packed during the holidays.

I will push my way through the crowds of people, thus you can come through without bumping into other people.

To protect [Player], Fenrir walks on ahead with his tail wagging.

Bobbing, bobbing noises. [Player] was looking at the him-

2 options
(Ask about the tail)	(Grab his tail)
I-Is my tail also feeling anxious? Then...... I must calm my troublesome tail. I-I'm not wagging my tail just because I'm going to have fun shopping with you! I am simply cleaning the city with my strong tail!	Nngah...... You! Why did you suddenly do that!? You should not make me raise my voice so involuntarily! It's forbidden to fluff me out in public! There will be looks given around us. If it was the den of the lone wolf then...... No, if you fluffed me even harder...... Don't mind me, I'm just talking to myself!

I thought about it ahead of time for your sake. But I will not be shamed like that!

That's right, this is Fenrir. Even from your tricks during the journey, I will tactfully endure this insult!

Location: Jewelry Store

They were sticking to the plan of buying the items. However, they couldn't take their eyes away from an advertisement involving new goods.

Hu...... So they're meeting me at last. Contraptions that are 2 rings. Such a gimmicky pairing.

If the accessory craftsman of fate will craft me a new silver accessory, I cannot overlook this!

A pairing however...... What should I do with the other one... Hrmph.

I see, it is a reading of an upcoming event with my temporary master. The power of star reading is terrifying.

2 options (Same Response)
A gimmicky......	Pairing?

This ring has the power of powerful messages. Hence, the ring is split into 2.

In other words...... When the 2 rings are piled up, a message emerges on the side of the rings.

2 options (Same Response)
What kind of message!?	How romantic!

It's designed by our skilled silver craftsman. Like tearing off the spine, there is no difference in writing words of darkness.

I will buy it without seeing the messages! My temporary master, [Player], I have a request.

Take the fragment of the ring I will buy, and shine it on your finger!

2 options
I can't accept something expensive as that.	An engagement ring?
	E-Engagement!? I-It can't be. I have yet to give you something like that......! Of-Of course, if that's what you want, then...... I love...... Hah! Fooled by sweet little lies again. I don't care what you think of me, but I will not be troubled by a misunderstanding!

There is no need to fear. It's a part of our contract, accept it.

I cannot turn against the spell of the set crafted by my silver craftsman. I absolutely want this ring.

Moreover, this is a natural present. No, I hear it's cool-looking, that's all!

2 options (Same Response)
I guess I have to then.	I'll lend my strength in that power control.

I-I see, then our contract will be complete. I will purchase it right away, wait here!

Tch, I've already put the ring on my right hand. [Player], quick, give me your hand.

Fenrir had another ring that he wants to hurry and stick onto [Player]'s finger.

2 options
(Put your hand out)	(Observe Fenrir's hand)
Hu, a human's hand is slender in contrast to that of a wolf of twilight. It will feel pleasant to be caressed by these hands - .......! What am I babbling about? I must've been influenced by the power of the ring.	What are you checking my squishy hands for? Are you that interested in the paw pads......? Being looked at with reluctant eyes like that...... truly gives me a chilling feeling.

The ring is like this for the time being. You must firmly hold onto your consciousness so you will not be consumed by the ring's spell.

Fenrir puts the ring on [Player]'s left hand. When the finger fits onto the finger, the wolf sighed in relief.

Hu...... Now, I can freely use this ring. My work is complete. Now, it's your turn next, temporary master.

1 option
My turn?

Hmph, that is a terrible conjecture. A contract must be equal.

If you helped me with my desires, then it's logical I would help you with your desires as well!

State where you wish to go! A contract is a contract!

2 options (Same Response)
Even if I say it out of the blue-	I actually haven't thought about my other plans.

I see, then we'll take a little stroll in the city. You should come up with something in the meantime, temporary master.

Now, take my hand and stick the rings together!

2 options (Same Response)
It's fine to touch it?	Where shouldn't I touch?

The hands are fine, touching the tail is not however. You must give me your word that you won't!

If your hands are occupied, then you won't act as you did before. Hu...... It's a stunning mindgame.

Right, it would be problematic to have my tail touched in public. You. Judging from that face you were trying to touch it.

Good, don't separate our hands. We'll continue with it for a long time so you won't touch the tail!

[Player] and Fenrir's hands overlapped.
The pairing's hands grasped and joined together.

The figures of the pair overlapped each other and disappeared into the crowds of the city.
