GoGo! Remote Island Expedition Translation

Part 1-1:

Location: Mysterious Island "Gajumaru" is a Chinese Banyan tree or Ficus microcarpa. Washed away. It was very violent. Nothing can be done. Nothing can be done. ???:( face) Heeey!! Right before they lost consciousness, they heard a person’s voice. ???:( face) [Player], grab my hand- No, [Player], [Player]!! ???:( face) Please, someone, anyone! Save [Player]- Inside the muddy stream, the owner’s voice fades away. A world of silence soon came. And…… in the end, nothing remained. Episode 1: [A Castaway Washes Ashore.] The sound of the waves can be heard. They wondered- How much time has passed? Their consciousness has yet to recover. [Player] heard a voice. (Voice):( face) (Inaudible) They can’t make sense of that voice. But that voice was gentle, warming. Before long, the owner of that voice gently touches the body of [Player]. At first, they were surprised by the touch of a finger, it soon became daring. It finally goes inside their clothes. Creeping the finger from the neck to back, and then [Player]’s sensitive spot- (Voice):( face) Heeeeeeeey! It’s time to wake up! Kitchy-kitchy-coo!! I’m mercilessly tickling you!! Kijimaru is referred to as "Southern Country Boy?" for the next 3 lines. Uwaa, you’re alive! I’m surprised! I’m shockingly surprised! But you’re alive, that’s great~! It’s been a long time since I met a human being- 2 options Who…… are you? Technically a boy……! Hehehe, surprised? Any child can get up from being tickled. Hello! I’m Kijimuna. I am an image cast by the gajumaru that is part of the island itself. 1 option ......Gajumaru? Ah, “gajumaru,” you were wrapped in its leaves. You were sleeping for some time now. Days and days. You didn’t wake up, so the gajumaru got worried and woke you up. 2 options (Same Response) I understand but – thank you. You helped me, thanks. Hey, there’s no need to say thanks, good child. I’m happy. No worries! The “role” of the gajumaru is to protect others. So, you were lucky. You were sleeping and hiding in the gajumaru. There are no stray dogs or anything like that around here. It’s good that there’s life here- 2 options (Same Response) Around here? By the way, where are we? Huh? It’s been a long time since anything happened, the shape of the island is different than usual too…… That’s what the gajumaru said. I’m certain of it since I’m part of the island. So why were you sleeping under the gajumaru? Do you remember? 2 options (Same Response) …… I don’t know. ......Why? Maybe you hit your head. Don’t worry! Let’s see- What can you remember…… Mm…… Oh yeah! What’s your name? 1 option It's [Player]. You remembered your name, good. That's a relief. Names are very important. They’re words that define you. Is there anything else you can remember? Anything is fine. Try to remember slowly. ……? You look depressed. What’s wrong, [Player]? 2 options (Same Response) Anything else? Well, I only remember that. Ah. You don’t remember much. It’s alright, it’s alright. It’ll come back. It’s fine if you want to cry. You can cry right away, child. At that moment, [Player] and Kijimaru’s stomachs both made a growling sound…… It was a big echo. Ah, that’s embarrassing! Since you woke up after a long time, you’re starving. Anyways, I want to eat till I’m full. I’ll go catch some fish from the ocean! 2 options (Same Response) Let me help you. I'll help. Haha, it’s fine child, since you don’t remember anything. Well, you can go catch some fish. Do your best to catch one, so we can broil and eat it. There are jellyfish so be careful.

Part 1-2:

Location: Mysterious Island Look, [Player]! We caught a fish! …… What’s wrong, [Player]? Is there something wrong with the beach? 3 options (Same Response) The beach, the scenery. It feels familiar somehow. ...... It's no use, I can't remember. ……? You look sad, [Player]. At times like this, there’s one thing to do. Coochy-coochy-coo…… Ehehe. 2 options (Same Response) Bwahahaha, that tickles! Stop it, stop it, hahahaha! Hehehehe……! A child shouldn’t be having a sad expression! 2 options Ooh, why would you do that! I’ll return the favor, coochy-coo…… Hehehe! That sad face turned into a smile! I love the smiling faces from the children. Waah?! Ahahaha! Don’t tickle me back, I’m frail ahaha, it hurts! [Player], do you feel better? When you’re feeling sad, you should laugh it off! 2 options (Same Response) Well, you did cheer me up. …… Thanks, Kijimuna. No problem! Laugh a lot, eat to your heart’s content and be happy! Well, let’s cook the fish. Cook then eat, it’ll be delicious! 2 options (Same Response) The fire’s green…… It’s good that you can start a fire, Kijimuna. Well, it’s not a problem. When we need fire, I can make it. Now it’s roasted. Huhuhu…… it’s cooked perfectly. OK! Here, this part is for you, [Player]! I’ll only eat the fish’s eyeball. You can have the rest of the body, [Player]. Fish eyeballs are my favorite food. Don’t be afraid to try it! 2 options (Same Response) Tasty…… Even if it’s cooked…… Isn’t the island’s blessing a beauty? Hehe, here’s something good. He held something out, it was a big coconut. The human children, they all love these things. Sweet, tasty and it gives you energy. After eating, it’s time for a nap. Especially a nap under the gajumaru! Ahaha, good night~! Time to sleep after it gets dark. A nap after eating, it feels great. But, after waking up, I’ll feel hungry again. The ocean at night is dark and dangerous, but it’s fine. [Player] caught some fish beforehand. Surrounding the fire, and then eating a delicious meal together! From now on, I’ll be happy to play with [Player] together on the island. 2 options (Same Response) Together? That's - What’s wrong, [Player]? Your face. Do you have a stomach-ache? When we were talking earlier [Player], you made that face. [Player], did you remember something? Anything is fine, I’ll listen. 3 options (Same Response) Yeah, I remember something. A stream took me here. I remembered what happened. A stream……? 3 options (Same Response) That's right. I was swept away from somewhere. Therefore - 1 option I need to return home somehow...... Tangaroa is referred to as "Man with a Bone Cane?" ......... That night. A lone man with a cane made of bone in his hand, narrowed his eyes and stared at the other side of the ocean. I see. The “shell” of my dear world has been breached, the gap is opening. These strange “drifters” are coming from that gap; different things are coming from the other side. A wave strikes at the man’s feet. A small piece of cloth was left behind. It is as if the waves were trying to deliver that “cloth” to its original owner. The evil “octopus” must have intruded through that gap. …… And, it’s pulling various things from the outside world. The man picked up the cloth. His eyebrows wrinkles and began asking himself questions. What is this for? Who could it be for? That cloth was made with mysterious skin; even when it’s wet it still can be used. It is a delicate work from the hands of a craftsman. …… I don’t understand. This has gone beyond Tangaroa’s knowledge of everything from the island itself. I must brace my mind. The sacrifices of my beloved children will increase if something’s not done. Mmm. As the man listens to the sounds in the distance, he closed his eyes and listened. Attacked again. This time, in the north…… the settlement of the fire folk. …… I must go. My beloved children- I must protect them from the servants of the evil octopus.

Part 2-1:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Episode 2: [The Master Fisherman of the Remote Island] Come on, come on, [Player]! It feels great on the island today too! Come on, it’s time to wake up. The sun’s come up already. 2 options Good morning, Kijimuna. Come on! Yes yes, good answer. I love morning greetings. Ughyaa! You’ve memorized my words already. Hmhm, I’m surprised! Mmm, but you still look a little sleepy, judging by your eyes. Alright, I have an idea. Let’s play in the ocean instead of using an alarm clock! Right here, in the island’s beautiful ocean! Let’s go for a swim, [Player]. The water's cold, it’ll feel good. …… Huh? What’s wrong, [Player]? 1 option You can't go swimming without a swimsuit. …… Swimsuit? Erm…… What is a swimsuit? …… Hu…… heh! Eheheh, what a funny story. Do you really need it to go swimming? Eh, me? I- Wow! All the sudden, a big wave…… Oh? What is this? Hey, hey. Look at what was washed up. 2 options (Same Response) Is that a swimsuit?! The waves brought a swimsuit?! Oh, this is a swimsuit!? What a coincidence. I guess we got lucky! Hey, hey. There’s one for you too. Together with [Player], I’m so happy! 3 options (Same Response) 2 pairs of clothes got washed up!? It’s the perfect size! I didn’t expect new clothes! Yes, my child, [Player], Surely the sun granted you one too. 2 options (Same Response) What’s the likelihood of this happening?! Isn’t this some sort of trap……? Haha, don’t worry about it~. This world is full of wonders, admit it. Well, I want to wear them. Come on, let’s put them on together. Kijimuna:( face) Come on, hurry, hurry! Let’s change our clothes quickly. Ah, this is a swimsuit? These clothes are quite strange. How is it, [Player]? Hehe, don’t these fit me? 2 options (Same Response) Yeah, it looks good. It suits you, Kijimuna! Haha, alright- Let’s go for a swim, [Player]! 3 options Okay, let’s swim! Let’s go far out. It’ll be dangerous if we swim out too far. Oooh~! You’re so eager! You’re in very high-spirits! We didn’t have breakfast either. We should do this moderately. Over here, [Player]. Eeeeeeii! 2 options (Same Response) Uwaah, I didn’t expect that! Hey, I’ll get you for that, Kijimuna! Uwaaah!? …… Eheh, hehehe. Ah, this is fun, [Player]. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. This is a very good spot. It’s warm and there’s plenty of food. Why do you need to go back home? [Player], you should stay here a little longer. 3 options Sorry, but I still need to go back. I am having fun, I don’t want to go back just yet…… For the time being, I’ll play with you, Kijimuna. I see…… That’s a shame. I will be lonely again. …… But, if that’s your decision, [Player], then I can’t change your mind! Until then, let’s play a lot, [Player]! That’s great! I was waiting for those words! I’m glad! But, even now you still want to return home. Yeah, let’s play! I was waiting for those words! I’m glad! We’ll decide the rest afterwards! …… But- -But, remember this, [Player]. No matter what happens or what you decide my child, you are still my friend! 2 options (Same Response) Thank you, Kijimuna. That's reassuring. …… Eh? I just noticed that you’re drifting away. Why are you going out to sea? Let’s head back to the gajumaru and eat some food. It’s dangerous going out to the open sea! Come back, [Player]! 1 option Something’s…… caught my leg……! 1 option Am I being dragged out to sea!? Jellyfish:( face) Purupurupurupuruuuuuuu!! 2 options (Same Response) Waaaaah!? I’m getting pulled to the seafloor! …… [Player]!! I-I-I’m coming-

Part 2-2:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Slimes?:( face) Purupurupuruuuuu!! Slimes?:( face) Purupurupuruuuuu...... [Player], you’re attracting them! They think you look tasty! …… Oh! Maybe they think you look cute? ......... Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! 2 options (Same Response) Kijimuna?! I'm coming to help! Gurgle*, [Player]! 2 options (Same Response) Damn, one after another! I’m running out of air- ???:( face) - - - - - - - 2 options (Same Response) I heard…… a voice? Under the sea? ???:( face) - - H - -ey - 2 options (Same Response) I heard a voice just now…… That...... was a voice. Note: Triton is referred to as "Man in Blue" until he introduces himself. There is nothing to worry about. I will be sure to come and help whenever possible! All the sudden the ocean current stopped. Suddenly a man appeared and swam in their direction at great speeds. 1 option ......! Ooooooouu! This will get a little rough so bear with it. Resonate – [Resounding Yell in Still Water]! The man that appeared puts the conch he’s wearing in his mouth, he then takes a deep breath and blows into it. Waaaaaaaah!! 3 options (Same Response) Gyaaaaaaah! My entire body is trembling! An explosion?! That sound. The volume is equivalent to that of a fearsome beast. The slimes fainted, released their tentacles, and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Ooough…… My head is spinning…… 2 options (Same Response) Kijimuna – help…… I’m losing consciousness- Both of you, pull yourselves together. Do not give up! Now, hold out your hand- 1 option (Holds out hand) The man grabbed [Player]’s hand and held on firmly. [Player]’s consciousness, it completely blacks out. The man’s strong arms held onto the two and pushed his way through the water till he climbed out of the water’s surface. [Player]! I-I’m so glad you woke up! I was getting worried! But you’re OK. I’m so relieved! 2 options (Same Response) Where......? The gajumaru......? Good grief…… Children playing in the sea without a guardian. You should not take the open sea very lightly. Until you are familiar with it, you should not get so careless. 2 options Who are you? I don’t know who you are, but thanks. You should at least say thank you. This man just saved us. They have not regained composure yet. I will have to hold back on the scolding for now. Mhm, courtesy is important. It seems you have studied under a good teacher. First things first – Please tell me your names. I’m Kijimuna. Thank-you-so-much! Mmm, you are very energetic! It’s good that you have still have spirit. And this is- 2 options (Same Response) I'll introduce myself. [Player]. Hmm, I see. …… [Player], that is a good name. I feel like I heard it before…… Well, it is a pleasure to meet you. Now it is my turn. This is our first-time meeting together. My name is Triton, a teacher. 2 options (Same Response) Nice to meet you. Triton…… Sensei? Teacher? How do you do? Triton…… Sensei? Teacher? …… “Tea…cher”? I heard something weird again. 1 option There are different kinds of people out there. A teacher is a name given to those who are surrounded by students and doctrines. It is our job to guide them. It is also our job to work towards a better future. It is fun and rewarding! I was taught that by someone! 2 options (Same Response) Someone? Who...... was it? …… I am not sure. To be honest, I am sure I learned that from someone. I do not remember much at all…… aside from the fact that I am a “teacher.” 2 options (Same Response) That’s all you can remember……? So it’s the same as me. Wow! So it’s the same situation as [Player] then. Is that right? Huh…… what a strange coincidence. 2 options (Same Response) It’s funny how much of a coincidence this is. …… Is it really a coincidence? Well, there’s not much we can do since we remember so little. But, there is still one thing. I still have my own beliefs. It is a very important aspect. If I can still remember that, it is fine! No matter what happens, carrying out my desire as a teacher is important to me. Therefore, saving children from danger is the role of a “teacher.” There is no need to say thanks – However, the open sea is dangerous. Be sure to reflect on your actions. …… I understand, Triton. Call me Triton-sensei! Is that clear, Kijimuna? Triton-sensei! You did say that “teachers” are “surrounded by children” right? It is “teacher.” As I have said, teachers are constantly surrounded by children. I want to become a “teacher” too! I want to be with other children. Where do I start? Ah, that is a fine dream! Then you will have to work hard at school. No problem! I will do my best! By the way, you two. Do you see me as your guardian……? 1 option (Shakes head) Ah, I thought so. How about you Kijimuna- ......... …… I see. I assumed that would be the case. But it's true. If it weren’t for you, [Player] and I wouldn’t be here right now. …… Really. That was quite an ordeal for you back there. What’s wrong, Professor Triton? Why are you making that weird face? I have a proposal for you two. Being the only teacher on this island - Would you like to be Students No.1 and No.2? 2 options (Same Response) Students No.1 and No.2? This feels familiar somehow…… As a teacher, it is my job to guide students down the right path. If there is no school building, we can build one. That is what a teacher needs. …… Hmm. Alright, I have decided. I will assemble the other students on this island - Then, I will carry out my “role” as a teacher in a school on the island. I will guide the students who’ve lost their way and train them. That is the role that I have chosen for myself. That is the dream I’ve chosen. Let’s begin with swimming lessons. It is convenient that you’re already wearing swimsuits. Alright, I will now teach you how to swim. [Transitions to another area] Guaaaaaaaah!! Chuckle*…… *Chuckle* How does it feel to have your memory corrupted by the “tentacles?” Now, all your memories will be completely wiped out. Become the “children of the abyss.” Listen to our great lord’s orders and work for him. Tribesmen:( face) …… U…… Uuough……! Yes…… Understood…… Reminder: Tangaroa is referred as "Man with Bone Cane?" How can this be, my dear “flesh and blood”……! You’ve raised your children with excessive care. Did you not train them well enough? Given blessings and knowledge of medicine, shouldn’t they also have the power to eliminate any outside threats? …… It should not be possible for any outsiders to be on this island. It is no doubt that it was an oversight from Tangaroa. But – with Lumia Kanaloa, Tangaroa will expel you out of this world! …… This is for my followers! Tangaroa headed towards the black mermaid and had the large snakes go in for an attack. However - Do not interfere with our lord’s plans!! A myriad of belt-shaped “things” came out from behind the black merman and narrowly protected against the blow. ……! As I have thought, those are the octopus’ tentacles - We are borrowing all our great lord’s power – We are using it to our advantage. …… What is your objective? Why are you targeting my children? If it is only Tangaroa that you are aiming for, then I will face you. However, you must withdraw all your attention away from my children. …… Answer me, now. The black merpeople did not answer. However, they continued with the ecstatic laughter. …… Tangaroa, you are the creator of this island. You also possess a dreadful power. But, you also have a fatal weakness. Upon learning about it, we’ve prepared in advance. It took a tremendous amount of time to sneak onto this island. At last we will be victorious. Go on, Tangaroa’s children. Capture and throw him in a cage! Offering – Sacrifice – Wooooooooah - …… Tch, cowards! You are manipulating my children and using them as shields!? We will offer everything to our “lord.” The tribesmen, which consisted of several figures including children, rushed towards the man with a cane with vacant eyes. The evil influence has spread out to this many people! Ooooooooou! The warriors are in an erratic state, the entire tribe surrounded and restrained the man. My children, snap out of it! Come back to your senses - The next moment, an endless amount of “something” came out from behind the tribesmen and attacked the head of the tribe. Tangaroa:( face) Guaaaaaaaaaah!! Tangaroa. We will completely clean out your memory, then we’ll tamper with it, so you will serve our “lord.” …… Oh yes, you still need an answer to the question from earlier? Our objective is to completely take over this island. Then, we’ll offer it to our great lord. It is a pleasure. Our lord will make our dreams come true. A beautiful paradise, overflowing with sweet fruit. It is an honor to acquire a miniature garden. Well now – Our great “lord,” we will celebrate the birth of a new Triton.

Part 3-1:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island ???:( face) I am the only one here. I’ve confined myself here in the darkness, alone. ???:( face) Being an atrocity, I was called a monster by everyone. Just like in the past, I’ve shut myself away from them. ???:( face) That’s all I can remember. There isn’t anything else in my memories. ???:( face) However – I feel at ease because I’m alone here. ???:( face) Because if you see who I truly am, you…… you will be afraid of me. ???:( face) You will see me as an ugly monster. I don’t want to be bullied by anyone. ???:( face) A monster’s blood boils, with an impulse to cause a rampage. That’s why I did this so nobody will get hurt. ???:( face) Oh, it will get bloody again. I can’t hold it back. Everything will get ruined. ???:( face) When I get that violent feeling in my chest, I feel the urge to vent it onto someone. ???:( face) This role of a monster was forced onto me. If someone comes, I might unleash my anger onto them. ???:( face) I want to be alone. Right now, I’m doing fine without any friends. ???:( face) This is for the sake of everyone. Therefore, I will always be happy being away from everyone. ???:( face) I think I will stay inside of this deep and dark labyrinth forever. Episode 3: [A Monster Dwells in the Labyrinth] 1 option Ah, it’s finally done…… Wow! [Player], Triton-sensei! You’ve made the gajumaru into our home! Thank you~! I’m so happy! Although we aren’t skilled in this kind of work…… I’m glad the two of us got through it. Now that we’re living in the gajumaru, we don’t have to worry about any rainfall. 3 options I’m so tired from working. Yeah! We did it, Kijimuna! I feel honored doing this with Triton-sensei. We’ve been working hard for the past few days. You’ve done a good job. Good job, [Player]! I’m so happy about our new home! Mmm. That was our first collaboration together between a student and teacher. This is the result of our labor! Good work. Well! We finally finished our work today. Sensei, I would like to participate in “physical education” next time. A nice relaxing swim after a lesson sounds nice! Haaaaah~ Mhm. I agree with that. Swimming gives the sense of unity with the water. It’s very pleasant! Although I agree about that, I don't think we'll be swimming today. Nooooooo! I want to go for a swim! It’ll be fun swimming with my teacher. I want you to teach me different swimming techniques too. Kijimuna, please don’t cry, I’d be glad to do it. But first, I need to check if there’s anything dangerous around here. The gajumaru tree is part of the island. I know there isn’t anything dangerous here! I don’t mean to disregard your words, I need to investigate just to be safe. I may be able to find some new students as well. 3 options (Same Response) New students? There’s someone else here? What are you saying, professor? D-don’t give your teacher that suspicious look! I believe there might be someone else here! There are other parts of the island we haven’t checked yet. There may be someone like us waiting for help. There is a possibility that they may not know where they are. A teacher should go and help them. If I find someone, I plan on making them my 3rd student! 2 options (Same Response) …… The other party may not agree to that. Are you planning to guide them too? Ah, don’t worry. This is what I want to do. I need to do so as a teacher. Therefore, I’m going. Someone who may be alone out there, I feel that I need to do something. [Player], Kijimuna. Please remember one thing. If you think about doing something for someone, it can be considered pressing your thoughts onto the other party. “Your selfishness,” you need to be self-aware in the things you do. People want to protect their “righteousness” and “equality.” They’re the things that justifies their roles. In this world, you’ll have to bear with those “roles,” but, that may not always be the case. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t hesitate in the things you want to do. When the time comes, you will break through a wall, and you will see the bigger world. …… That is my first lesson to you as your teacher. 2 options (Same Response) Yes, Professor! I’m not sure if I understood all that. ......Mmm! Anyways, after obscuring materials to build a house to live in, I wonder if there’s anything else to eat other than marine products. Well, I’ll leave the food gathering to you for today and tomorrow. Consider this as study time! Don’t slack off! Okay! I will go and get some fish! However, you’re not allowed to go that far out. The currents in the ocean are fierce, I won’t be able to help if you get caught. 2 options Yes, Sensei! Stop worrying so much. Good reply! As a teacher, I feel so deeply moved that I could cry. That’s because I’m worried about you! What if you get attacked again like last time? I could stay with you for a little longer and keep an eye on you in your studies. But, if I overdo it, you won’t be able to grow as students. At times, I need to let you learn things on your own! …… Who did I learn that from……? I’m sure a teacher taught me that…… Sensei, what’s wrong? Did you remember something sad? Don’t make that face, cheer up! …… Haha. You wouldn’t understand, Kijimuna. After all, I am your teacher! Hahahaha. [Screen starts shaking] Guh! Both of you, get down and protect your heads! Don’t leave the hut either! …… It seems to have settled down. Is everyone alright? Anyone hurt? Waah! I got really scared from all that shaking!! It felt something went off. Is there an active volcano on the island? Or possibly in the sea……? Ayaaaaaah! Both of you, look over there! Our home……! 3 options (Same Response) It's because of the earthquake just now…… The walls came down. I guess we need a professional…… Hmm…… so the walls collapsed. That’s unfortunate. I will need to gather some materials to repair them. It will take some time to gather the materials to rebuild the house. However, there is a problem…… We are not experienced enough with processing and constructing the lumber. Nor do we have the manpower and tools to dig out stones. Someone who excels in those areas, I wish they were my student. Well, we’ll figure it out somehow. I’ll be right back; I’ll leave the school to you in my absence. Waaah…… that was so scary. The island hasn’t had an earthquake in a long time. The gajumaru was afraid too. The leaves on the tree branches all fell off. Even so, the professor was amazing. He told us to protect our heads. 2 options (Same Response) He’s looking out for us. He’s doing what’s best for us. Yeah! Well, let’s go to the ocean and catch some fish. When Sensei gets back, let’s treat him to some delicious fish! Puwaaaah! Nope, I couldn’t get anything. Because of that shaking earlier, there’s nothing but sand in the ocean. That’s too bad. I wanted to treat Sensei with some tasty fish. They gave up trying to catch some fish, on the way back to shore, they noticed something - 1 option Kijimuna, look over there - Aha! Looks like the rock crumbled from the shaking earlier. Ah, [Player]! You shouldn’t go over there, it might be dangerous! Wow…… What is this? It looks like a big opening. This is my first time seeing something like this on the island. [Player], do you know what this is? 3 options (Same Response) …… It’s a dungeon. It must be a hidden labyrinth on the island. It clearly looks man-made. To be able to build something like this, that’s amazing! It’s very different from our house! I wonder if anyone is living here. 2 options (Same Response) That’s possible. I’m glad you came with me. No problem! I’m glad to be here! …… Hmm? In the depths…… I think there are signs of a child. However…… they seem to be sad. I can feel their sorrow in this cave. We should go to that place. Maybe we’ll run into the one who is lonely. Just like how I met you, [Player], I’m sure we can meet the “child” waiting for us in this place. 3 options (Same Response) Inside here…… It’s dangerous to wander in blindly. Okay, let’s go! Please leave this to me. It will only take a few minutes. Kijimuna found a nearby ivy and crawled into it, he then closed his eyes and entered a state of tranquility. …… Gajumaru, my beloved tree. There is a child crying inside. I want to see that child by all means. Please…… give me a sign…… The ivy listened to Kijimuna’s voice, it then responded by emitting a glow. Hah…… Thank you, gajumaru, I appreciate it. That child is in this place! Let’s go see them. Yo-ho-ho~ Don’t fall behind now. The two were encouraged and moved on inside. They followed his footsteps inside the labyrinth. Although on the way, the path ahead splits – Kijimuna did not hesitate and moved on. It is as if he knew where to go inside the labyrinth. 1 option It seems you know the way in here. Hehehe, that’s because the gajumaru told me. It said that the crying child is straight ahead. The gajumaru is part of the island itself. It knows everything around here. It’s part of the labyrinth as well. The gajumaru can tell you anything. That crying child cut through the roots just now. That feeling was transmitted to me, thus I can pinpoint their location. 2 options Transmitted? Isn't that painful? It’s just a tingling feeling in my head. Compared to that child’s sorrow, it doesn’t hurt at all. I am one with the gajumaru tree. Thus, we share the same properties. Hey, we’re almost there! That lonely child shouldn’t be scared of us. We can make them smile. This should be the end of the cave. That child should definitely be here. Inside the deepest part of the cave, there was a cabin. It was not an abandoned building. There is someone living in that hut right now. [Player], look! There must be firewood in there. ???:( face) Who’s there…… Have you come to destroy my home……? A low, heavy, and cautious groaning can be heard – it was like a monster. Don’t be afraid. Aren’t we friends? We came here to see you. You should come on out. Then, we’ll go out and play together! ???:( face) Play……? Play…… with me? Haha…… Hahahaha…… I’m not a fool…… ???:( face) That’s right…… you’ve come here to bully me…… You can't fool me…… I won’t do something like that. I’ve come here to be your friend. Really. The gajumaru…… and [Player] too. They came here because they’re worried about you. 3 options (Same Response) That’s right, don’t you want to play with us? We won’t hurt you. I want to hear your husky voice again. I’m your friend. So - ???:( face) T-t-that’s a lie! I just want to live alone here in peace……! Asterius is referred to "Bull Beastman?" If you get in my way…… I absolutely won’t forgive you…… So go home! No more…… Graaaah!! No…… I can’t hold it back. Ah, everything will be destroyed!! ......... 2 options (Same Response) This is going to be dangerous, Kijimuna. Leave this to me. ……I…… I want to go too. That child is sad. Alone in a dark and deep place like this, I…… I want to help him. 2 options (Same Response) Alright. Let’s help him together, Kijimuna. Yeah! Let’s do it! We'll help him together! Don’t come…… Don’t come near me……! I’m warning you…… A-ah…… Don’t come…… Graaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Part 3-2:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Guuuuraaaaaaaaaah!! The roar of the bull beastman rocked the walls of the cave. He is also swinging his shovel around, scraping the sturdy walls in the process. 2 options (Same Response) This power…… What should we do? ......... While [Player] was thinking of something, Kijimuna went towards the bull beastman alone. 1 option It’s dangerous, Kijimuna! I think I can wear him out. Alright, let’s play! Nuaaaaaaah!! ………!? W-where? Where did you go……! Kijimuna's voice:( face) Eheheheh~ Come on, let’s play a game of tag! If you can catch me, you win! Nuuuuoooooah! Fuwaah! Ooooou! Raaah! The bull beastman swung his weapon many times, while also filling the air with his ferocious roars. Kijimuna continuously played around in the wind, casually toying with the bull with swift movements. Ha…… Ha…… Ha……! Waah…… Ough…… Guaaaaah! At last, the bull beastman stopped swinging his weapon and collapsed on the ground. Before the bull beastman collapsed to the ground with spinning eyes, Kijimuna quietly reappeared. Hehehehe~ Looks like I won. This child finally calmed down. I’m going to fetch some water for this child. [Player], please look after this child. He shouldn’t cause another rampage. Okay, I will be right back. Bull beastman?:( face) …… Ough…… I…… What happened……? 3 options Good morning. How are you feeling, are you hurt? You’re so cute when you’re sleeping~ ☆ Y-you…… Were you…… looking after me……? C-C-C-Cute!? You really think that……? But, why were you looking……! A-Ah, I see. I’ve done it again. Although he did not remember much from a few minutes ago, there are still traces of the rampage. The bull beastman they were looking after looked around. After seeing the damage, he grew depressed. What…… have I done? What happened to that child……! 3 options (Same Response) Don’t worry. That child is safe. He’s getting some water. I-I see…… …… That’s good……! …… But, why won’t you understand!? I’m not able to control myself……! Anything can aggravate me. Everything will get destroyed. That’s why I shut myself here in this labyrinth…… I’ve forgotten my memories when I came here and…… I’ve been living here ever since. I don’t want to remember anything else. That was the best thing to do for everyone…… Therefore……! Nobody comes near! Nobody gets in! Labrus Labyrinthus!! Oh my gosh!! What in the world is going on!? The labyrinth’s appearance changed. The “distance” from reality completely changed. The room was also distorted. The gajumaru’s ivy’s that were covering the labyrinth was also cut off. The labyrinth’s appearance changed even more. Bull beastman?:( face) …… Go home! You will not get close to me ever again……!! They could not understand their surroundings. However, those words can be heard somewhere in the labyrinth. I can feel the pain in that voice. Are you really that sad? Bull beastman?:( face) Why won’t you go home! I don’t need your sympathy!! It will never work, never! Bull beastman?:( face) Why are you doing this? You probably think I’m a monster! 3 options (Same Response) That’s not true. It’s amazing how you can instantly create a labyrinth. I want to talk to you. Bull beastman?:( face) Huh?! What are you trying to say! Why are you so afraid? I just want to play together with you. When I saw this cave-like labyrinth for the first time, I thought it was a fun place for everyone to play in! Bull beastman?:( face) Y-you think it’s fun……? You want to play in here……? But, when I entered this cave, I felt feelings of loneliness. When I experienced that lonely feeling, I felt that I need to do something. I want to become your friend. Bull beastman?:( face) I-I want to see you……! I want to talk! Bull beastman?:( face) I want to understand what you’re saying…… Bull beastman?:( face) Are you trying to push your own selfish thoughts onto me……? 2 options (Same Response) Pressing something - Push…… motives…… Triton-sensei:( face) Ah, don’t worry. This is what I want to do. Triton-sensei:( face) I need to do so as a teacher. Therefore, I’m going. Triton-sensei:( face) Someone who may be alone out there, I feel that I need to do something. Triton-sensei:( face) [Player], Kijimuna. Please remember one thing. Triton-sensei:( face) If you think about doing something for someone, it can be considered pressing your thoughts onto the other party. Triton-sensei:( face) “Your selfishness,” you need to be self-aware in the things you do. Triton-sensei:( face) People want to protect their “righteousness” and “equality.” They’re the things that justifies their roles. Triton-sensei:( face) In this world, you’ll have to bear with those “roles,” but, that may not always be the case. Triton-sensei:( face) Nevertheless, you shouldn’t hesitate in the things you want to do. Triton-sensei:( face) When the time comes, you will break through a wall, and you will see the bigger world. Triton-sensei:( face) …… That is my first lesson to you as your teacher. 3 options (Same Response) …… Yeah, that’s right. I’ll show you what my motives are. I want to become friends with you. [Player]......? Bull beastman?:( face) …… Huh. 2 options (Same Response) I'm doing this for you. Please tell me your feelings. Bull beastman?:( face) …… ?! W-what are you trying to say……? Bull beastman?:( face) I want to say that…… I’ve always been alone. It’s always been like this. Bull beastman?:( face) You’ll surely regret trying to get close to me. E-everyone did – why! Who’s “everyone”? Everyone here wants to play with you. Bull beastman?:( face) That’s - 2 options (Same Response) Are those your true feelings? What do you personally want to do? Bull beastman?:( face) ......... Yeah, I remember Sensei saying something like that. So, you want to do something, that’s great. You want do things for them, that’s not a bad thing. But, I think I understand. It’s hard to suppress those painful feelings. So, let’s be friends! 1 option (Nods in agreement) Bull beastman?:( face) S-Stop it! You…… can’t get closer to my heart! Bull beastman?:( face) Because…… I will get violent and hurt somebody. Bull beastman?:( face) The important things or not, I’ll end up destroying everything. It’s…… devastating. Bull beastman?:( face) All of it will be my fault. Everyone…… will hate me. Bull beastman?:( face) Therefore, I…… …… I’m not wrong. You will be afraid of me. You will be afraid of me because I'm scary and ugly. Who would want to be with someone like me? It’s such a painful feeling…… I don’t want to deal with it anymore. 1 option Believe in yourself. …… Y-You’re such a weird guy. I never heard something like that until now. Believe huh…… well, I believe…… Oh…… it’s useless. [Player] tried to approach Asterius and get close to him. However, the attempt was futile. It’s as if a mysterious power is causing the distance to feel like an eternity. I created this labyrinth using my Hallowed Artifact. It’s to keep me locked up. As long as I have it, you won’t be able to reach me. I will live on and die alone – that is the “role” I’m born with. But…… I’m used to being in a dark place alone. I have been for a long time now. Although…… I guess I do want to be with you…… Is that your "wish"? 2 options (Same Response) I can fulfill your wish. (Pulls out a glowing sword) [Player] took several steps forward and stood in front of the distortion of the labyrinth. Hey, what are you - Oh my gosh! That sword is glowing - Hey, [Player]. What are you trying to do? 3 options (Same Response) I don’t know, but I remember doing this. This sword is a part of me. This can cut the link between two things. Triton-sensei:( face) Nevertheless, you shouldn’t hesitate in the things you want to do. Triton-sensei:( face) When the time comes, you will break through a wall, and you will see the bigger world. 2 options (Same Response) Role is “wandering.” Rule is “rendering.” 2 options (Same Response) I, [Player], will inscribe thy name here. Come out, Yakumo no Chigiri! [Player] picked up the glowing sword and severed the “something,” separating the bull beastman from the labyrinth. Bull beastman?:( face) Ah…… my Labrus Labryrinthus disappeared…… How unusual. Bull beastman?:( face) You cut off my control of the labyrinth…… H-How did you do that……?! Oh my gosh! The labyrinth is gone! [Player], I didn’t know you could do that. Y-You really are a strange guy…… You broke down the labyrinth I made. But…… what is this……? My head feels a little lighter…… Finally, we can get to know each other! Hello! I’m Kijimuna! 2 options (Same Response) Nice to meet you. I'm [Player]! Y-You guys…… I’m surprised, y-you’re so eager…… A-Asterius. I’m…… Asterius. 1 option Nice to meet you, Asterius! N-Nice to meet you…… Kijimuna…… [Player]. Awesome! Now we can play together. But before we do that, I’m getting hungry. Waaaah, this is…… I think the cave is about to collapse! 1 option Could it be that I “disconnected” the “labyrinth”? Waaaaaaah! Everyone, let’s get out of here quick!! 1 option It’s collapsing very fast, we won’t make it in time! D-D-Don’t worry! Both of you, hold onto me! I’m surprised – You managed to save us back there. Asterius, you’re really strong. You carried me and [Player] out with no problems. I-I was desperate. I wanted to save you two. The sun illuminated Asterius’ body, he noticed that his figure is exposed. D-Don’t look at me…… You probably think I look ugly…… 3 options (Softly turns eyes) Don’t worry about it. Let’s take a closer look. Thanks…… that helped. I feel a little better now. …… I-Is that right? Haha, that’s a little embarrassing. But…… I do feel a little relieved. T-Thanks…… Ah, please don’t! Don’t get too close! Uuuu…… Don’t look at me so closely! I’m not used to this kind of thing! P-Please…… don’t look too much…… Aah. *Groooooooooowl*~ Ah, that’s…… Don’t look at me like that! Ahaha~, you’re getting hungry~! Alright, let’s get something to eat. B-But all the food was in the cave. It collapsed already. It’s alright~. I’m going into the beautiful sea and catch some tasty fish. A-Alright – I will go look for some flammable objects. Hmm, fish…… It’s been a while since I had it…… There weren’t any fish inside the labyrinth…… You should eat some. We can cook some for you later! A-Ah…… Thank you, Kijimuna, [Player]. B-By the way…… that house…… is it yours? It looks rather tattered…… Something went off earlier and it collapsed. We’re in trouble because we don’t have enough materials. …… The columns are unstable. There is not enough wood either. Hmm…… you don’t have any good materials at all. Wow! Ashterius, you can tell what’s wrong just by looking at it. It’s not Ashterius…… My name is Asterius…… Anyways, your home was destroyed…… Well, I am experienced with repairs and architecture. I-If that’s alright…… I can do it for you…… I’m good at handling heavy materials…… Please leave all the work to me……! That will be great! Asterius is going to live with us~. Live together...... with me? I-Is that okay? Together with you two……? 1 option You’re our friend. F-F-Friend……?! M-Me…… and you……? I see…… Friend…… M-My…… Friend…… Oooooooooooh! Let’s go get some fish to eat! Of course, let’s do it! We’ll fix our home too and surprise the professor! 1 option Yep, yep - Everyone:( face) Oooooooooooooooh!! ......... …… Heheh. Friends…… Friends…… The sun shined down on them, they did not seem to notice - The bull beastman thought about those words and smiled.

Part 4-1:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Good, forget everything. “Everything” that you know will be gone. You will continue to forget, until your “role” intertwines with the island. There is no need to be afraid. There is no need to grieve. You are the late plum that was left behind on the island looking for revenge…… You will release every single chain that binds you. You will happily live on forever in this garden as a “student.” You will be separated from your own body and live on the island for “eternity.” A new and happy “role” will be given to you. 3 options (Same Response) What the! Leave me alone! I will never forget - Oh my, the “student” is being disobedient. But, it’s futile. How long will you try to remember – What do you want to remember? No matter how much you try, it will always get washed away. 3 options (Same Response) A dream……? What kind of dream was that……? That was absurdly real...... 3 options (Same Response) …… Huh? Ever since I came to this island - How long have I been here? Episode 4: [An Eternal Paradise] …… Haaah. That should do it. The repairs and reinforcement of the house are done. It will surely endure the rain, wind, and even earthquakes. Oh my gosh! Our house is a lot more durable now! Asterius, you’re amazing! 2 options (Same Response) Asterius is awesome! You’re quite the professional for a big guy. I-I-I’m getting a lot of praise…… I’m…… not used to getting compliments…… Don’t feel bad about it! You’re very skilled at this. You can do anything you want since you’re so strong. W-W-What!? D-do you really think that highly of me……?! Of course. You’re really amazing, Asterius. Hahaha…… You’re making me blush…… Ooh, you’ve done a wonderful job! Asterius, you are quite something. By the way…… Why are you laying down on the ground? Does your stomach hurt? Don’t worry, I was only doing repairs…… It’s nothing serious…… There might not be enough for everyone to live with…… I can make the chairs, desks and such…… I’m good with repairing and transporting things…… But, I’m not good with anything else…… Sorry. Don’t apologize. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. However! I’m happy to have another student. S-S-Student?! Me, a student……!? W-What’s wrong? Is there a problem……? I didn't mean to force it onto you...... N-No, I’d be glad to…… It’s just happened so suddenly that’s all…… P-P-Please treat me well, Triton-sensei! Mmm! Asterius, you will be my 3rd student! …… I am trembling with delight now that I have a new student. Ahem. Be sure to listen to your sensei carefully. By the way, you accidentally stepped foot into an unknown cave here. Did you not think there were anything dangerous in there? You children are reckless. Putting yourselves in dangerous situations like that. ……[Player], you are a very problematic child! I specifically told you to stay away from dangerous situations! 2 options (Same Response) Huh, me? I-I’m sorry! If you were planning to investigate dangerous places, you should have gone with a guardian…… Please don’t get mad, Triton-sensei. I asked them to come with me. Kijimuna. Do you have something to confess? …… Please forgive us. We didn’t mean to ignore your instructions. Triton squats then pats Kijimuna’s head several times. That’s alright. As long you reflect on what you’ve done, then I won’t say anything. Please be more careful next time. …… Heheh. I haven’t been scolded by someone in a long time. Hey, Sensei! Let’s go eat some fish! I’ll go catch the fish, Asterius gets the firewood, and [Player] will start the fire! Okay, okay, I get it, Kijimuna! Don’t pull on the hem of my swimsuit! Nehehe~! Wasn’t that delicious? We all should eat some more! It was quite delicious. It tastes a little better than the last meal. Everyone enjoyed their food. Asterius seems to be happy with it too. Y-yeah…… I think it’s a lot better eating together with everyone. ......... Triton-sensei…… Is something the matter? If there were chairs and desks, it would feel more like a school…… A-ah, it’s nothing, Asterius. There’s no need to do all that work by yourself…… 2 options (Same Response) That’s right, Asterios. Let's work together. [Player] is right. Even though I’m not good at it, I’ll still be willing to help. You are very skilled at this, big guy. You will make a fine student! Will there be more children? Things will get livelier then! ......... Thank you for the meal. Thank you, everyone. Thank-you-for-the-meal~! It’s already getting late. We should head to bed now. We’ll continue things tomorrow. [Nighttime] 2 options (Same Response) Is there someone outside……? Was that Asterius? ...... Hmm. Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry about that…… [Player]. 2 options (Same Response) Are you making something? Is that…… Furniture? A chair? Desk? I offered to do so for Triton-sensei…… So, I thought I make them ahead of time. I messed up putting in the nail, I may have to fix this using an ivy from a plant…… M-my hands are a little too big, aren’t they? It’s a little hard for me to handle delicate work…… W-well, I’ll try my best with this. Y-you should go get some sleep…… 2 options (Same Response) I’ll help you. I couldn’t fall asleep. Y-You are a funny guy…… You’re willing to help me? ......... H-Hey, [Player]. Can we talk for a bit…… We shouldn’t wake Triton-sensei and Kijimuna. Let’s keep our voices down…… T-there is only one thing I remember. …… I’ve always been living alone. There was no one around. I…… was getting lonely. That’s why…… I can dream of living like this. I hope…… I can live like this forever…… 2 options (Same Response) …… Hey, Asterius. I thought about going home - …… Hmm? W-what’s wrong, [Player]? 2 options (Same Response) …… It’s nothing. Living together like this. …… Ah! I see. I hope so…… [Player]…… ......... 2 options (Same Response) …… Is someone there? …… Was that a smile? What’s wrong, [Player]? Is there someone else here in the middle of the night? …… There’s no one else here. Maybe you’re seeing things because you’re exhausted. I think you’re just imagining it. Yaaawn*…… Well, I’m going to bed. …… …… There’s no point in making furniture if I’m tired. It will turn out sloppy…… Well, I’ll worry about it tomorrow. G-Good night, [Player]. ???:( face) …… Huh? Where…… am I……? ???:( face) …… Uuunn. My head hearts…… ???:( face) Ah, it’s useless. I can’t remember a thing! ???:( face) What’s this? That seems to be a house over there. ???:( face) Hmm, this house…… aside from the durability, there seems to be a problem with the functioning aspect of it. ???:( face) …… Oh? Ooooooooh!? The way this was manufactured - ???:( face) I see, I see. It is a simple structure. How about I fix the parts for them? ???:( face) Hmm. It shouldn’t be hard to work with. I just need to work with this a bit more carefully. ???:( face) I never seen this type of wood before…… Could it be Acacia? Tasmanian blackwood? ???:( face) I have never seen this type of material before – Hoooooh, I’m getting fired up! ???:( face) Alriiiight! I think I’ll stay here and work on this! ???:( face) Let’s get to work! I’ll start with the measurements! Huhuhuhu~. I’m getting excited. [Morning] 3 options (Same Response) Eergh…… It’s so noisy this morning. The sound’s coming from outside. It’s probably Asterius…… Note: Until Kurogane introduces himself, he's referred to as "Man with Goggles?" …… Phew, it’s finally done. Hah, that feels great. I’ve fixed up the irregularities! The finished product is…… absolutely beautiful……! Perfection……! The chairs and desks turned out perfectly! Aaah, D.I.Y is simply the best~! 3 options (Same Response) Trespasser! ! Who is this person?! Did you wash up on the island too……? Are you a resident of this house? I see…… Junior. It’s nice to find another person here. After I washed up here, I thought I was all alone. I found your house nearby and I thought someone was working on something, based on how the chairs and desks were lying around. You can’t leave things unfinished. Isn’t it an inventor’s job to finish their work? That’s why I finished the remodeling for you! Perhaps…… you were going to finish it yourself? 3 options (Same Response) You are an interesting guy…… You seem to be good at this. You're quite enthusiastic about this sort of thing. Stop with the compliments! It’s embarrassing! The name’s Kurogane. Nice to meet ya! Also, uh…… ......... Where the hell am I?! 2 options (Same Response) What?! I have no idea...... Our great lord. The one that rules the abyss of the sea. By your command, we’ve prepared everything for you to build our ideal paradise. But, it appears that they still have faint memories of their original world. They have the desire to return home. Oh, I wonder why. We couldn’t clean out their memories even with your great power - Perhaps the people that survived the cleansing, it might be possible that they cannot part with the “roles” they possess. Their “roles”…… Correct. For example, my “pillars” cannot be taken away by any means. Things like those are the source of your very existence. That is the “role.” Even with my “rule,” it cannot be taken be taken away. Therefore, if you want to dispose of it – It will require to be "replaced." There cannot be two pillars at the same time. They must throw out the old and receive a new one. Therefore, for them to adapt to their new “role” and “fate,” it will require some time. Your objective is to “stall” them. Remember. It will eventually be “washed away.” Be patient, my servants. The day where your desires are fulfilled is not far. Hahaha! Our lord, the great ruler of the sea!! Note: Robinson is referred to as "Boy with captain garments?" Aha – I knew something fishy was going on. I see, “altering the roles” …… In other words, they aim to - …… There’s no way that evil guy could be the “captain.” I need to find him soon.

Part 4-2:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island I-I’ve brought the new materials. This should be everything that you need. Oh, thanks, Asterius! Now, if you could secure it tightly for me please. R-Right……! Okay, this should be good. Oooh, you’re just like a vice! That’s awesome, Asterius! Eheh…… I’m glad to be of service…… Alright, let’s start right away - Emerge – Mechanized Masterpiece! Feeling the iron ore with his right hand, Kurogane produced something shiny. It then quickly changed into the form of a hammer. 2 options (Same Response) …… Wow, how did you do that? Your right arm…… Ah, I simply extracted the “hardness” from the iron ore. I then “concentrated” it into a usable form. Oh, you don’t understand what I’m saying? It's okay, I don’t understand why either! Too bad I can’t remember how exactly it works. It would be very convenient if I did. Well anyways, this will turn out amazing. Oh, since I’m older than you, you can refer to me as your senpai. You can refer to me as “Kurogane-senpai.” …… In return, I will refer to you as Junior. Mhm. Okay…… let’s move on. In an early afternoon, Kurogane was working on the banyan house. Asterios took care of the physical work, while Kurogane handled the technical work. They built the furniture for the home one by one. The two was shown to work well together as a pair. 3 options (Same Response) You two work well together. Asterius, I thought you were afraid of strangers? You two are like partners. …… I-I’m a little surprised. I’ve always been living alone…… I wasn’t sure if I could handle it. B-But…… When I’m with a friend, I don’t feel as nervous…… 2 options (Same Response) We’ve been together for a long time now. We’ve spent a lot of time together now. ……… ……… What are you saying, [Player]? We’ve just started living here. Well, we have been comfortably living in this house for a while now. It would make sense to think that. 3 options (Same Response) No, that's not it. It’s like we’ve been here for a very long time. That’s hard to believe…… I understand why you would think that but, you should still distinguish your opinions from objective facts. Although, it has been a few days, the amount of time passed does feel like an illusion. T-That’s right, Sensei. It does feel that way…… [Player], what is everyone trying to say? Are we trying to figure out how long we’ve been living together? Hahaha, Kijimuna you’re still a child. A small amount of time passed does makes it feel like it goes by very quickly. To those who brought it up, the amount of time passed is still very short. Huh……? Is that how it works? When I was young, there were a lot of things I was interested in. When you dedicate yourself to those things, time will fly by very quickly. When you get older, you’ll realize how fast time passes. There’s no need to be impatient. It feels like a rather long time. You should be happy that you’re still a child. Alright, let’s cut the chatter here. Everyone, please gather around the teacher. Now that everyone’s gathered together, we need to go over what we need to do. We’ll need to stock up on food and materials. It's to prepare for any unexpected situations later. Kijimuna, Asterius, Kurogane and [Player], I’ll leave it to you. I’m already used to it from doing this every day. After we finish, we should all go for a swim! Hey, Kijimuna. Wouldn’t Sensei get mad if you’re not being serious about this? Don’t worry, Kurogane. I’ll do my best with Asterius. He’s very strong and he can help me. T-That’s right. After we finish, we’ll go for a swim together. Woohoo! Asterius is the best!! Oh boy…… I’m at a loss here…… I wonder if I’m capable of looking after the youngest child here…… In the meantime, I will continue where I left off yesterday of investigating the island. 1 option …… Sensei, did you find something about the island? Hmm…… I’ve yet to confirm it. I’ve found traces of life here – I believe there are other people here on this island. 2 options (Same Response) ……! I'm going with you. I want to investigate the island as well! [Player]? I’m afraid not. It’s too dangerous. I will not put a student in danger. Procuring food is a very important task. You should not abandon- 3 options (Same Response) But, I want to go home! How long will we stay here?! Professor, how else will I get back home?! [Player], you…… [Player]. I understand how you feel, but please try to stay calm. Triton-sensei doesn’t want to put us in danger. He’s just worried about you. …… On his own judgement, if you were to get hurt- 1 option …… Sorry for the outburst. …… No. I did not consider my own student’s feelings. I understand how much you want to go home! But, please try to understand- 2 options (Same Response) I need some time alone. I need to cool off. Hey! Where are you - I’ll go after them. Please leave it to me, Triton-sensei. …… Alright. Following Triton’s words, Kurogane went after [Player]. …… Being a teacher is difficult. I feel the things I’ve been saying is becoming a bad habit…… Don’t worry about a thing~ Kurogane will help calm the child down. Hahaha. Thank you, Kijimuna. That’s just like you – I feel reassured to be your senior. There’s nothing we can do. Let’s just continue on for now. S-Sensei, please rest for a while. We’ll do our best on our part. Ah…… Yes, please do. [Player] ran out of the banyan house and walked alongside the beach. Ever since they washed up on the island – they wondered how many days have passed. Meeting Kijimuna and Triton, then meeting Asterius a few days later. Not too long, they met Kurogane as well. 2 options (Same Response) Even so - It feels like I’ve been on this island for a long time…… Their memory still has not returned yet. They did not know what they were doing beforehand. 2 options (Same Response) I just want to go home. I want to get off the island. ???:( face) Aha, so this is where you ran off to. It’s a bit dangerous to be that far from your home. 2 options (Same Response) Kurogane-san…… Did you come after me? Yep. I also thought about taking a short walk around here. There’s no need to be quiet, you can talk to me. I’m willing to listen to you, okay? 2 options …… Alright. Please leave me alone. Thanks. I promise I won’t get in the way. Well, I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t just leave you by yourself. [Spans to Kijimuna and Asterius in a dark forest] Ooooh! Look what I found here. Asterius, look look, a big mushroom! A-Ah…… That’s nice, Kijimuna. …… Everyone is so gloomy. Is going home really that important……? ……. I-I’m enjoying living on the island but, to be honest…… I’m not really sure. ......... What about you, Kijimuna? Did you have a thought about it too……? The gajumaru’s roots are fixated onto this island, I can’t leave. I can’t leave the island with you all. You really like being here right? Don’t you want to stay here with me……? I've been living on this island for a very long time…… I’m not sure how it feels to go home that badly. Kijimuna...... Even so, I thought I would be the only one here. Here…… on this island. To be honest, I was sleeping for a long time. I think the island has changed a lot since then. Kijimuna, that’s - …… !! I think it’s someone’s smell! S-Someone’s smell……? Well, Triton-sensei did say that- Come on, Asterius! There might be new students here! H-Hey! Kijimuna! Don’t run off by yourself, it’s too dangerous!! T-This is a…... village?! Yep! It’s definitely a village. My suspicions were right! Come on, Asterius! Let’s be friends with everyone- Something’s not right! The village is way too quiet…… Quiet? Maybe everyone is sleeping- I’m not sure…… We should head on back. …!! Kijimuna, look out! Guh!! Oh my gosh!! Asterius! What happened?! Quiet! Something’s here! There might be someone else on this island other than us……! Asterios:( face) OOOOOOOOOOOUGH!! [Spans back to Kurogane and the Player] I see, this gravel…… Kurogane is taking interest of the scenery around the island while following [Player]. What’s up, [Player]? You suddenly turned your head back. Do you still want to go home? 3 options (Same Response) Where……? I heard a voice…… …… No, it’s nothing. …… It’s already evening. By the way, something seems to be on your mind. Alright, spill the beans. Tell me what’s bothering you. 2 options (Same Response) …… I can’t really tell you. I’m just…… worried. Whatever crazy story it is, I’m willing to hear it. Just tell me what's bothering you. Think of me as a scientist. I won’t laugh at your stories. You can trust me! I am your senpai after all. 1 option …… Hey, Kurogane-san. Uh huh…… So that’s what happened this morning. I think I understand. It does feel like we’ve been living here for a long time. Unfortunately, everyone else doesn’t think that. Eh? What are you thinking about? 1 option I’m just worried that…… they might think I’m crazy. I see…… So that’s what’s troubling you. Alright. Come over here. Yeah, over here. Don’t be shy! They did not understand what’s going on. They slowly got closer to Kurogane. Yeah, there you go! Just close your eyes for a bit…… There there. I understand how you feel. There’s no need to be afraid. I know how much pain you’re in right now. I’m here for you. So is everyone at the school. It’s okay if you want to cry. It’s perfectly fine to cry if you’re feeling tense. …… Sorry. Even as your senpai, you probably don’t trust me. Kurogane gently stroked [Player]’s head and hugged them tightly. Warmth was being transmitted. Their sorrow were being passed down onto him. 3 options (Same Response) (Cry loudly) (Cry silently) (Say thanks) Don’t worry – You can share your problems with me. How are you feeling now? Do you feel better after letting it all out? Eh, I misunderstood it? You don’t have any emotions? …… That’s awfuul!! Anyways, we’ve been living together for quite some time. To be honest, it does feel that way. What you’ve said this morning, I thought of it too. Oh right, I finally remembered something that I was supposed to tell you. It’s just one thing. I think the island itself is strange. When we were thinking about gathering food and materials, I noticed something off with the island’s formation. The alignment shouldn’t be possible. The vegetation here doesn’t make sense either. It’s almost like someone forcibly merged multiple islands together. 1 option Multiple…… islands……? There are traces of other things “washed up” on the island’s soil. It’s almost like a flood struck here a while ago. …… Something’s different about the island. It’s not just you. My senses told me so! We’ll find the truth about this island. I’m sure we’ll figure it out. Even if you and I can’t do it alone…… With everyone at the school, we can accomplish anything! 2 options (Same Response) Kurogane-senpai……! Thanks, Kurogane. With the sunset behind him, Kurogane smiled. But, the island itself is truly strange. The formation here is truly intriguing, no? …… That’s?! L-Look, [Player]! In the direction where Kurogane was pointing at, there was a piece of lumber buried. It was evident that the manufacturing was man-made. Some writing is etched on here. This is – my handwriting?! It's written the same way! There’s no doubt about it, it’s my handwriting. Hm, uh huh…… The first day after I disappeared…… It’s at least a hundred. I’ve been here on this island for at least a hundred days now...... 2 options (Same Response) What! ! How could that be- You were right, [Player]. Isn’t it strange how we don’t remember that? Kurogane’s expression suddenly changed, prompting [Player] to look over their shoulder. Kurogane forcibly pulled [Player] away from the opposite direction. Tch! That’s-! [Player], get out of here, now! Trying to get a sense of his words – a myriad of huge snakes with black eyes caught Kurogane. 1 option Kurogane-senpai! ! ???:( face) So, you have learned about the truth. You shall forget about it once more. My name is Tangaroa. I am the one who created this island and protects his beloved children. 2 options (Same Response) Tangaroa......? The island’s…… creator…… That is correct. But, this island is not mine to rule now. The ruler of the sea of the great abyss is the one who will rule over us and this island now. You will become an ally. You will carry out the “role” that you will be given. You will soon understand, the pleasure of spending your life as a servant. I do not plan on answering any questions. Do not plan on asking anything. Let us go to the altar of our great “lord.” Do not try to resist! [Player], run! Just get out of here!! 2 options (Same Response) I can’t leave you, Kurogane-senpai! Kurogane-san, I’m not leaving!

Part 5-1:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Have they not returned yet? …… Ku……! By the time the sun sets, none of the students have come back to the gajumaru house yet. A worried Triton went looking for them. However, his efforts ended in failure. With a faint feeling in his chest, he hoped that they have returned by now. Once again…… There was no one inside the gajumaru house. Everyone – Where could they have gone? Damn, why am I so incompetent……! I should have done things more carefully - No, this is not the time to be depressed. The situation may improve, but…… Someone, anyone! Please…… protect my students……! .........! When the door to the banyan house opened, Triton quickly got out of his chair. [Player], Kurogane? Or could it be Kijimuna and Asterius? No, why did you go out for this long? You made your teacher worry - ......!? You - We took this opportunity to come greet you, Triton-sama. Now is the time for you to wake up. Come – it’s time for you to return. Shit! Let me gooooo!! What are you going to do with [Player]! Tribesmn:(evil face) You are not allowed to move any longer. Do not try anything funny. Tangaroa’s subordinates put their weapons on Kurogane’s neck. Tch……! [Player]…… Run! Tribesmn:(evil face) Do not move. Is that clear? Or have you decided to lose your life here……? Shut up! I’m -! 2 options (Same Response) …… Alright, we surrender. Take your hands off Kurogane-senpai. [Player]……! Damn…… Dammit……!! Have thou finally given up? …… Restrain them, my underlings - Snakes! Hey, stop that! Kuh…… wait - Uwaaaaaaaah!! [Player] and Kurogane had their entire bodies constricted by a large snake and lost consciousness. It is finally done. …… Take them away. Do not injure them any further. Our great “lord” does not want that. Tangaroa’s subordinates tied up [Player] and Kurogane and followed behind Tangaroa. Nomad is referred to as "Red Tiger beastman?" until he introduces himself. Well well…… Looks like something dreadful happened here. Who the hell were those guys? Where are they taking them……? 2 options (Same Response) This is…… an ancient ruin……? Is there going be a ritual? Open, door to the great altar. We have brought sacrifices to become servants. In response to Tangaroa’s voice, the large door opens wide with a dignified sound. Let’s proceed. We will head towards the great altar. ......... Right before the door closed, a whirlwind blew through the opening. It was extremely fast. It was almost instantaneous that nobody could notice. Episode 5: The Ruins of the Bottom of the Sea [Player] and Kurogane were laid out on the stone altar while still being bound. From where they are, the sound of waves can be heard. The ocean must be nearby. ......... ……It will not hurt. We are simply cleaning out your cranium. 3 options (Same Response) Clean……? Our heads?! You’re going to dispose of our memories - …… It’ll be alright, Junior! Don’t give up! He must be bluffing! Hey! Don’t bother doing this to me! Whatever you’re doing will never work! Thou are free to think whatever you want. …… Begin the preparations. We would like to invite you to his great presence. I will leave it to the black clemency. “Black tentacles” materialized from Tangaroa’s shadows, the ominous things then drew closer to [Player]. …… Tch! (…… I need to help [Player] escape - But, I can’t do anything like this……!) (I could probably manage something. …… The problem is that I can’t use my hands.) (Also, we’re surrounded by those guys…… I should at least try to make an opening.) (…… It’s risky, but I’ll provoke the boss over there and use myself as a decoy……) …… Hey, I’m the better subordinate! Do it to me instead! Go after me instead! Come on, come on! Over here! Ignoring Kurogane, the “black tentacles” growing from behind Tangaroa laid [Player] next to him. Hey, W-Wait a minute! Listen to what I have to say! No, they are our “priority.” I will explain why this person has potential. The “power” that they possess in their memories. …… It is certainly a threat. There is something great about what this person possesses. We must clean out their memories - 1 options Tch, this is bad......! ???:( face) A tiger burning brilliantly in the forest of the night! With these legs, I will move in an instant! 1 options That voice......? BURNING BRIIIIIGHT!! An attack?! My children! Compose yoursel – what?! Don’t bother! You didn’t think I’d interrupt your schemes without a plan, right? At that moment, flames in the shape of a tiger shut down the lights in the ruins. Tangaroa:( face) The lights went out? What in the world is happening - Tangaroa:( face) My children! Get the lights! Go and restrain the intruder! Too slow! Tribesmen:( face) Gwaaaaaaah!! Geez…… Now I have an idea of what you scoundrels are trying to do. Tying up the other party and reconstructing the human body; this is the work of an evil organization! I’ll never forget what you’ve done here. For that, you will face my wrath - You’re not getting away with this!! Hey, you there! Do something about yourselves before the lights come back on! I’ll keep them busy! Get to it! Unless you want to get yourselves reconstructed! 2 options (Same Response) I don't even know who you are - Thanks for the help! Save the thanks for later! Alright! Let’s do this! Thanks, mysterious red tiger! You’ve opened a big opportunity for us……! If I change my posture like this…… Emerge – Mechanized Masterpiece!! Invoking his “Hallowed Artifact” while his hands are still on his back – Kurogane manifested a scalpel in his right hand. Nice! I’m surprised that worked! Just wait for a bit while I undo the restraints! After cutting the rope that tied up [Player]’s hands, the pair rushed towards the exit. My children, close off the exit! Do not let the sacrifices escape!! Let’s go, [Player]! We’ll break through them somehow!

Part 5-2:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island I do not understand. Why do you resist? I am doing this for your well-being. The chief……! Why is he doing this? 2 options (Same Response) We’re surrounded by snakes - …… Shit! Relying on your temporary emotions is foolish. Trying to escape is impossible. Thou and I - We are on the palm of the Great One’s hands. That said, Tangaroa raised his eyes to a person’s statue decorated on an altar. Behold. That is our father. That statue had no head. It had no hands either. Every part seemed to have been cut off. 2 options (Same Response) That is “The Great One”? Why is it so disconnected…… …… Oh, saying such profanity. I will not tolerate that sort of behavior here. “Mangling every being,” lashing out on the dead, this is far from being inhumane. No, this is heresy! “The telling of the two myths.” Like in that context, this is – oh. He has given you to us. Yes, the scattered pieces “joining together” for the Eternal Garden. The magnanimous people. Benevolence and fraternity…… Even if you possess it in your memories, learn through your sins, then you can achieve eternal happiness. Above all, [Player]. You are special because you were given mercy. You are the same as our father. Do not look at us with evil eyes. 2 options (Same Response) I’m the same as your “lord” …… ? What do you mean by that?! ......... Tangaroa did not answer that question, instead he asked [Player] a question. This island has everything. Why are you against eternal happiness? 3 options (Same Response) Tangaroa, this isn’t going anywhere. I don’t want to lose my memories again. I will get back home! …… Memories? Lose your…… Memories…… Yes, I am Tangaroa…… Living on this island with my children – guaaaaaaah!? The tentacles ate away at Tangaroa’s mind. Tangaroa repeated several words over and over again. …… Yes, it is my honor to live for him – Yes, that should be it - …… Surround them, my beloved children. Capture the sacrifices for our great “lord”! 2 options (Same Response) There are…… so many of them! At this rate…… Go, my brethren! 2 options (Same Response) Damn! I’ll need to use my sword…… Accept your fate. Accept the decisions of the Great One - [Player] ---------!! 1 option We’ve lost……! Are you seriously going to give in to the guy in front of you? Why don’t you get on your feet and fight back? .........! Fire – You’ve set the altar of the Great One on fire……! I’ve lit up the oil that I’ve collected. If you leave it alone for too long, it’ll collapse - My children, put out the fire! We must not let the fire taint the image of our Great One - Tangaroa was still instilled to his loyalty; his train of thought was disturbed thanks to the vandalism. And then - 2 options (Same Response) I, [Player], shall “inscribe” thy name here - Emerge, Yakumo no Chigiri! .........!! With a cry, a glowing sword manifested in [Player]’s hands once again. Then - 1 option Haaaah! ! [Player] made a horizontal slash through Tangaroa’s black tentacles with his sword. There were signs of shock shown in Tangaroa’s eyes. Then - Why the hell are you still standing there! This is our chance to escape! Come on!! Immediately after that, a harsh voice came from behind. It was the eyes of the red-haired tiger. It will get a little rough when I carry you so bear with me! Let’s go! …… O-Oooogh. …… O-OOOOOUGH! …… Did they follow us? It looks like we managed to lose them. Whew, you saved us! By the way…… Who might you be? ......... 1 option T-Thanks. …… Don’t get the wrong idea. Helping others is part of my business. Oh yeah…… I need information. I need to ask you about the island. Either way, it’s all good now. It looked like you know something when I passed by, that’s all. Heh…… I can’t deny that I unleashed my anger in front of you. Tell me everything that you know. That will be your payment for my help. 1 option But still, thanks. Even after my erratic behavior…… Heh. Your thanks don’t matter much to me. Okay, here’s the first question: who the hell are you guys? …… I see, so that’s what happened. Our situations have something in common. Our memories were being tampered with. It was the same for me too…… Looks like I’m in the same situation as you. I don’t remember much of anything in my memories. Why am I here, and what I have been doing…… All I remember is that I need to get revenge on someone. Losing my memories from the brainwashing and reconstruction…… Ugh…… Thinking about it disgusts me. Shit! Sheesh! Modifying us to their liking, it’s unbelievable! It’s like we’ve lost an important part of us. It’ll be hard to compensate for the things that we’ve been actively losing. Yeah…… That seems about right. Losing the “important things,” they won’t come back. Anyways, we’ll have to think this over…… So, where is your place of residence? I’ll be fishing for information. Consider me as your comrade for the time being. Think of me as your bodyguard. I’ll help you out. 3 options (Same Response) That’s awfully nice of you. How annoying. That’s not too bad. Don’t start a fight with me! Hurry up and lead the way! Bah! It’s dangerous so stay close to me, alright?! 2 options (Same Response) Nice to meet you, I’m [Player]. Can you give us your name? Nomad. At least I remember being called that. The name’s Kurogane. Nice to meet ya, Nomad! Heh…… Well, it’s nice to meet you too. I hope I’m not intruding. Hmm, so this is your banyan house? 2 options (Same Response) This is where we’re staying, Nomad. Did you remember something? …… I don’t remember. I can’t remember anything – Ah. Somehow when you said that – I had a familiar feeling my chest. Maybe I have lived with you before in the past…… W-What!? Who? Who’s there?! …… [Player], Kurogane. You…… are all safe……! 1 option We’ve returned, Triton-sensei. That’s good…… You “really” came back home safely…… Triton-sensei……? Hey, are you alright?! No…… It’s nothing. I was just a little confused. Now then - Triton went over to the ask the new acquaintance his identity. Nomad answered his following question. …… It’s a pleasure to meet you. You can call me Nomad. I don’t want to ruin the long-awaited reunion but…… We need to talk about the current situation. I see…… That was a very dangerous situation…… Nomad, you have saved my students. As a teacher, you have my gratitude. …… Ah, I do have one proposal. Nomad, since you’re here at the banyan house, you must be planning to live with my students. In other words, I’m asking if you’re going to be a student here. …… Are you still sane, Triton-san? Didn’t you listen about the situation about the island? If you’re running a school here, then - Please. I’ll beg if I must. Nomad was embarrassed by Triton’s spirit. There was desperation suspended on his face. Please be a student at my school – That is what I really want from you. If you become my student – I will protect you with my upmost effort. …… I get it, you’re very eager about that. Well, I feel this isn’t going to work - I feel that I’m a little too old to be a student. …… Though I don’t remember how old I am. That's nonsense. You can study at a school regardless of age. …… Alright. Then, treat me well, Triton – No, Triton-sensei. It looks like I’m getting looked after here. Somehow this kind of exchange is…… kind of funny. 2 options (Same Response) Sensei, the island is dangerous! Looks like we got a pursuer - …… Ah, the one who robbed us of our memories is on this island. It will be alright, that sort of thing will not happen again. Don’t give me that suspicious look - I…… I am your teacher after all. [Player], I would appreciate it if you believed me. 2 options (Same Response) …… I believe you. I trust you, Triton-sensei. Thank you…… [Player]. 2 options (Same Response) By the way, where’s Kijimuna? Why hasn’t Asterius returned yet? …… Don’t worry. They should be back soon. 2 options (Same Response) Eh? If you say so - That time - Noisy footsteps can be heard at the entrance. W-We’re back. F-Forgive us for being late……! [Player] and Kurogane-ne-ne! Don’t worry! We’re all alright! 2 options (Same Response) Welcome back, both of you. Are you okay? W-We were attacked by a group of strange people. T-They were plagued with black tentacles and had blank expressions - 2 options (Same Response) …… What did you say?! Maybe it’s the same people? Hey, both of you. The people that attacked you – What did they look like? Y-Yeah, it was black, and it was attached to their waists. They had one or more tentacles! But, how are you two still sane? If you got attacked by tentacles, then - D-Don’t get the wrong idea! We were saved! Saved? By whom……? W-W-Whoa, who…… are you? Ah…… Don’t mind me. I’m not your enemy. I’m…… a new student. W-Well, it’s nice to meet you. I am Asterius, and this is Kijimuna. W-Well, we were saved by t-this fellow. Hey, come over here, Robinson. ......... (A kid)......? 2 options (Same Response) Nice to meet you, Robinson. I’m [Player]. ......... A young boy named Robinson gave [Player] an angry look. 2 options (Same Response) …… Did I piss you off? Have we met before? …… “Nice to meet you,” Captain! Robinson grabbed [Player]’s hand roughly and grasped it tightly, then got back on his feet. 3 options (Same Response) Wa-wa-wa-wah?! What the hell......? Captain? [Player], what are you doing with Robinson? Did you anger him? Playing tricks with him? ........? Robinson turned over on his feet, stood in front of Triton and went silent. ...... Um...... Robinson…… was it? What’s wrong…… Do you have something to say? ……. Triton-sensei…… I…… …… Oh!! I remember you…… You must have been lonely. It must have been tough for you. Well – I’m glad you came back to school. …… I-I remember…… Triton-sensei! Ah…… “I’m remembering” everything. It feels like it's all coming back to me. ......... Don’t worry. There will be no harm done. I’ll ensure the safety of the island for everyone. Sensei, really!? If you remember, then you should understand. We have the means to oppose “that.” …… I know. I know…… but……! Then you shouldn’t need to worry! I’m doing this...... for you all. I am the only teacher – I will be your “teacher.” …… Sensei…… 2 options (Same Response) Triton-sensei……? Hey…… Do you two know each other? Ah. I met him prior to meeting you – He is one of my most loving and valuable students. We’ve reunited after so long. This is a very touching moment for us. If it’s been a long time, then let’s celebrate! Let’s eat, then sleep together! Celebrations…… Hm, I see. Kijimuna, that is not a bad idea at all. Let us have a party today! This will be a commemoration of two new students. C-Commemorating me……?! Wait a minute, this isn’t the time to be playing games!! In that case, I…… I’ll go gather some fruit…… I might have to take more than we need. Oh, nice, nice! I’m getting excited for the celebration! The situation was very gloomy! A change of pace isn’t so bad once in a while! This will be great! I’m…… feeling indifferent. Oh my gosh! It will be a lot more fun with everyone! Play with me, Robinson. Let’s go for a swim in the ocean! W-Wait a minute, Kijimuna! I can’t swim like this! Waaaaaah!

Part 6-1:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island 2 options (Same Response) A few days have passed…… Now, we’ve – Now that everyone’s gathered, let’s begin today’s swimming lesson. Yes, Triton-sensei! I’m ready to go~! K-Kijimuna! You’re going to trip if you run so much! A-AAAAAAAAH!! K-Kijimuna?! Sheesh, I don’t know what to say about this. I hope he’ll be alright. Uuuuuuugh! *Pweh* *Pweh*! My nose, mouth and ears are full of salt water! Don’t panic, okay? Is it not important to act calmly? Oh my gosh…… I got way to excited for a swim…… Please forgive me, Triton-sensei. Everyone makes mistakes. Be sure to reflect on it. Next time, please be more careful. ......... Ahem* Let’s gather up…… Today, I am going to put you all in pairs. Because [Player] was attacked the other day, it has left a foul taste in my mouth. I don’t know what other dangers may lurking out there. Never go that far out. I don’t want my students to get separated. I will announce the pairs now. First – Since then, it has been a few days. The daily routines are coming back to [Player]. The following day after coming back, they’ve become more cautious – …… Hmm. Do you think we’ll get attacked by them again? It sure is peaceful though. I suspect this may be just a dream but…… it seems so real. 2 options (Same Response) I wonder what’s happening. Triton-sensei said something. “That sort of thing will not happen again.” Yeah, I find that statement hard to believe…… Robinson seems to know something…… Yeah! I should ask him, Junior! …… Hey there. DWAAAAaaaaaah!! You scared me! D-Don’t talk out of nowhere like that. W-Well you were talking about me……! Besides, don’t act like you’re so surprised about this! Well, don’t feel bad. So, what brought you here? You can consult Kurogane-senpai for anything! Yeah, I, Kurogane, am your reliable “senpai.” I will listen to what’s troubling you! Hah…… “you’re the same as ever,” Kurogane-senpai. Well, I’m gonna leave you behind. Don’t leave!! Your senpai will get lonely, Robinson! Triton-sensei paired me up with “Captain” anyways. 1 option Captain……? You’re my “Captain.” We should get going soon. Huh? Kurogane-senpai? The same as ever……? After he’s been living with us……? ......... The two held hands together and practiced flutter kicking. Robinson kept quiet the entire time. 2 options (Same Response) Hey, are you mad about something……? Do you need to tell me something? …… Not really. Don’t worry, “Captain.” I’m not mad about anything. 2 options We just met after all! What do you mean by Captain? ……! S-Shut up! Get your arms back in shape, “Captain”! Eh, what is a “Captain”? …… I-It’s a relationship!! Yeah, that’s it! Fuh……! If you can’t remember, then there’s no point in telling you. Basically…… “I have to call you Captain.” That’s what I’m trying to say…… How could you forget……! Stupid Captain! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!! 2 options (Same Response) Just tell me! What did I forget? ......... …… I won’t tell you. Even if I did, the result won’t be any good. …… Huh. Why are we doing this exchange again……? Anyhow, I’ll need to improve the situation here. Come on, we have to do this. 1 option Did I get washed off too? To an extent – yeah. There’s nothing we can do about it. I guess the only thing we can do for now is relax. Oh well. That’s all we can do for now. 1 option That’s…… awful. …… What do you mean “awful”?! Stop toying with my feelings! You expect something from me every time. …… Hold on for a sec, I’m getting tired…… Sorry. The things I’ve been saying now, I’m sure you don’t understand any of it. …… Oh, that’s the sound of the conch. The lesson’s over. I’ll be going now. …… See ya. Episode 6: [A Shadow Enshrouds the Remote Island] 2 options (Same Response) …… What can I do? Is this really OK? Oh, it’s you, [Player]. Why are you taking a stroll alone on the beach at night? 2 options (Same Response) Nomad-san? What are you doing here at night? That’s my line. That serious look on your face…… Did something happen? ......... I’m a little concerned. Come over here. Find yourself a good place to sit. I’ve roasted some fish for you too. Disentangle this here. Good, then I combine it with the tree…… 1 option What…… are you doing? “This” here? or do you mean “that”? If it is the former, then I was just patrolling. Triton-sensei said that it’s fine – Even if we can’t do anything about it, sitting on your ass doesn’t feel right. That guy is rather self-satisfied. About the later, I’m trying to find some sweet fruit on this island. With a few words from Nomad, he showed a heavy, green fruit. My instinct tells me it goes well with the fish. The saltiness of the fish should be just right. Here, eat some. I took out the bones but be careful eating it. 1 option Oh, looks good…… What? Simple grilled fish is good too. It’s important to take various measures when you’re adrift somewhere. Don’t worry, I’m telling you it’s good. What would a brat like you eat tomorrow anyways? …… So, what happened? This is a sample for a reward. I’ll be willing to listen. 1 option ......... Well, it’s fine if you don’t want to say anything. I too have a lot of things to say. There’s no rush. If you want to say it, then say it. Until then, I’m going to be eating this. I see…… so that’s what happened. “There’s nothing you can do.” Hm…… 1 option I wonder what I should do. You’ll have to decide that for yourself. “It all comes down to the situation.” 3 options (Same Response) (Hit your own head with your hand) (Throw something) (Scowl in disappoint) Wait, wait. Don’t get frustrated. Listen to what I have to say…… …… The situation always changes. There are so many things going on in life. “I’m not sure if I can do it.” – That rubbish from those incompetent brats is so aggravating. [Player], look. That is hopelessness. That is nothing more than a brat’s business. Don’t let your own problems get the best of you. Instead, do what you feel is important and don’t give up. Also, take a good look around you. There are other things that you can still do. Focus on developing your abilities. Prepare…… What? The time will definitely come – Don’t you want to prepare for your chance to escape this place? 2 options (Same Response) Other things to do…… .........! What, did you get an idea? …… If so, go for it. 1 option Thanks, Nomad! Sheesh – I’m getting embarrassed from helping the brat. Return, Cucco Robin! When Robinson shouted at the sky, the Robin that was circling flew down and went back on his shoulder. After a moment – It transformed to that of a colorful parrot. Cucco Robin, is there anyone coming here? "Nobody! Nobody!" …… Good. Come on, I’ll make some food. Do you want to eat……? 1 option Robinson, I’m right here. …… What the, Captain [Player]? Why are you awake at this hour? What’s up……? It’s nothing. I was about to go to bed – 2 options (Same Response) I thought I should apologize for forgetting. Sorry for not remembering. …… Wha-? 2 options (Same Response) I remembered despite our differences - It must have been tough for you, so – 1 option I’m sorry that I forgot. ......... Robinson’s eyes were trembling when [Player] said those words. …… Idiot…… Stupid Captain! Why now……! Why do you keep doing this? You make it seem like it’s our first-time meeting – When we first met, you didn’t remember at all when I called you “Captain.” …… I had given up for a long, long time. I was sure you were “the same person” when we met – But…… But……! Uuu…… Gh……! 3 options (Same Response) …… I really am sorry, Robinson. (Stroke Robinson’s head) (Hug Robinson) Robinson:( face) Uuuu…… Uhuu…… *Sniffle*…… Robinson:( face) …… WAAAAAAAAH! 2 options (Same Response) Did I lose my memory about 10 times? Have we been doing this for a year? That’s right. We first met a long time ago on this island, Captain [Player]. We’ve met many people on this island, and I noticed something about it too. There is a threat here that disposes you of your memories. Captain [Player], it has happened to you several times already. 2 options (Same Response) The enemy - So, what about Tangaroa? You’ve met that man already. Well, he is also a victim. It’s the opposite. He’s our comrade, but he’s being manipulated right now. He loves the Captain and myself like we’re his own children. He is a good man. He’s almost like our real father – No, it seems that he won’t remember that. That man is being manipulated by the “black tentacles.” He is like a puppet. 2 options (Same Response) Those black tentacles are the threat - What’s the enemy’s identity? …… I’m not sure. They don’t appear to have hands or heads. It’s like they were cut off – Even if we investigate it, their identity remains unknown. I don’t know what their “Role” is either. I do know that “they wash away everything they touch” – It’s because of that dreadful “rule” that they possess. With that power, they’re toying with you…… like a ship drifting in the waves. Like Captain [Player] and myself, we can oppose them with our "Role" as a "Wanderer." 3 options (Same Response) “Rules” and “Roles”? That’s - Some words came to my head unexpectedly. What do you mean? …… The term “Rule,” it is a rule that is permitted to us. Think of it like “an object falling from a high place to a low.” Something special was given to the individual. “You can imprison the world within a shell” or “You can cut through a rule with your sword.” However, there is a price in using the “Role,” when it is paired together. Captain and myself have the "Role" of a "Wanderer.” “Someone who has come from one world to another” – that is our such role. In other words, “we can’t resist getting swept away.” It’s how it is. Doesn’t it seem we’re compatible with it? However…… you remember getting “swept away.” If you forget, that’s that. A “Role” is connect to the person’s origin. It can’t be erased by any means. The necessary “information” will be reserved, the happy memories you’ve spent with others will be forgotten. …… It’s a terrible thing. Being an exile is probably better. Even if I don’t remember anything…… I can still be happy. 2 options (Same Response) Wait, Robinson. How do you still remember that? …… I’m about to get there. How many times has it been already? Captain, you rescued others, you ran off on your own, and became a victim yourself. It’s all thanks to you, Captain – Those memories of the past will never get taken away. That’s why…… I spent time with you, Captain. I remember everything that you did, Captain. Since then, I laid low on the island, watching for that opportunity. I was waiting for that opportunity. I was ignored by the enemy for a while…… Now, I got a good understanding of their motives! Their goal is to rob the “Roles”! 2 options (Same Response) Stealing the “Roles”? They can’t dispose of the “Rule”? As I have said earlier, “Role” and “Rule” can only be meaningful if they’re paired together. I have already utilized the “Rule” that I possess. Also, someone at this school may have their “Role” disposed of…… In other words, they know what you’re capable of, Captain. I don’t know how that happened. Captain, you must have deliberately showed it to them. You’re going to have to provide me the new information, Captain. One side will lose their memories, the other will remain…… There may still be chances of success. Attack them from the outside. Pay attention to the enemy’s movement, Captain. They must be close by. …… It will be a lot to explain. Although, it’s like I’m in a deadlock. I already did everything that I could. Every time, Captain would have their memory erased and can’t remember anything afterwards. It can’t be helped. …… We’ll have to wait until the enemy makes their move. For now, we’ll have to determine where their next meeting place will be. We’re going to join their ranks – Let’s pretend like our memories has been erased. I’ll show you the map. They should be west of the banyan house – Hi! What are you two doing? Are you discussing about where to play - 2 options (Same Response) Waaaah! Kijimuna’s awake?! Ah, you scared me! Um, yeah, that’s it. A child like you should be asleep right now, Kijimuna. But I’m not a child – If you’re going to play, then I’ll join too! Heh. We’re about to go see the black Octopus. So, you’re coming with us? …… Octopus?! I-I-I don’t like Octopus!! Then go to sleep already. Besides, we can play tomorrow, okay? Uuuuu…… I understand. Tomorrow then! Promise me! Fah, good grief. He just thinks we’re going out to have fun. 3 options Should I go talk to Kijimuna? He could help us. The black Octopus? The enemy uses tentacles like that of an Octopus. Didn’t you see them yourself? It twists and turns. …… No, he’s better off not knowing. It’ll be pointless when we fight him in battle. Those black tentacles are that of the hated Octopus. He’ll always be crying about it. It’ll be such a drag. He always thinks about playing games…… We can’t rely on a kid like him. He…… doesn’t know any better. He always thinks it’s better to smile with everyone. 1 option Aren’t you a kid yourself? I am not a kid! Don’t lump me together with him! But still, that Kijimuna – He’s an important member of our school. That’s why we’re protecting him. For now, we’re going after that guy. We’ll figure it out soon. This fellow here, Cucco Robin, will be looking around at night, so it will be alright when I go to bed, Captain. 2 options (Same Response) Cucco Robin? It looks like a parrot…… When I was hiding out alone, it was the only one who I could talk to. Therefore, it is in the form of a parrot. Well, can Cucco Robin talk to me? …… Eh? Is changing forms really that strange? “That’s something we can do all the time.” Cucco Robin is like one “fragment” of me – Oops – I think we talked longer than we should’ve. W-Why are you talking outside? If you stay outside for too long…… you’ll catch a cold. O-O-Oh, that’s right. Have you seen…… Triton-sensei? Eh? I don’t think so. Triton-sensei said he wouldn’t be leaving us. It’s dangerous if we don’t stick together – Why would he leave…… Oh!! Oh yeah! Triton-sensei’s memory came back…… Why? It’s possible that – The owner of that “Rule” …… …… Cucco Robin! “Did anyone leave this place?” “There was! There was! 10 minutes ago! Blue jersey! Man!” ……! Idiot! Why didn’t you say anything!? “Person coming from outside, go, inside! Leaving person, never asked! Robinson, stupid!” He’s in danger, Captain! Triton-sensei – he possibly went after the enemy by himself! 1 option …… Let’s find Triton-sensei! …… Cucco Robin! Location! Where did Triton-sensei go? “Island, fossil! Inside, door!” 3 options (Same Response) Did Tangaroa take him to that ruin? …… Robinson, let’s go! Asterius, get everyone! I-I’ll go wake everyone up. [Player], you can’t go alone……! H-He said we should work together as a group. B-Besides, I’ll protect you. Triton-sensei is my…… No, our beloved teacher. If we go as is, we’ll be wiped out. …… But, the Captain will be going anyways. The Captain is always like this whenever there is danger – …… Captain. I will be doing something on my own. I need to help someone remember. But then, I’d be abandoning Captain and Triton-sensei…… 3 options (Same Response) I understand, Robinson. I’m counting on you, soldier. My memories will stay where it is! Captain…… …… Captain, when you apologized a while ago – that was the first time you did that over and over. It will be different this time. I…… I just know it! Be careful, Captain! Stay safe!

Part 6-2:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island A few days before Triton-sensei disappeared from the banyan house – 3 options (Same Response) Is that you, Triton-sensei? Isn’t it dangerous? Aren’t you going to sleep? Oh…… I was thinking for a bit. …… Say, [Player]. Are you enjoying life here? …… Ah, that’s right! When you said you wanted to go back home – You have been saying that ever since we met…… Do you still feel the same about that now? 2 options (Same Response) Yes. Y-Yes. …… I see. It is alright. I will do my best to help you on your "career path." That is the “Role” of a teacher. …… Students will leave the school eventually. You cannot be a “student” forever. You cannot stay in the same place forever. You must continue moving forward. If you, the students are happy – Then “I” won’t have any problems. I pray that you will continue growing in the future. [Player]. Even when you leave this school…… I will pray that you will still be happy. …… Yet, everyday at school has truly – Triton-sensei:( face) …… Truly been a lot of fun…… [End Flashback] 2 options (Same Response) Triton-sensei…… Triton-sensei! Please be okay – …… You have come. Have you prepared yourself? The black shadow that Triton was facing asked him a question. I…… am prepared. I vow to do as you wish. …… However, “promise” that you will protect them. When I get back to where my students are – If you break your – Ah, I’ll be sure to keep that promise. After all, I am “you.” ............ Rejoice – You will come back to me. Come, present that “Role” – Abandon the “Role” of the ancestor of all creation, fall to the “Role” of that of a dwarf. Induce it to me. It is rather a foolish thing…… “if I say so myself.” Triton went forward and stepped foot into the huge shadow. Then – 1 option Triton-senseeeeeei! ! U-Guuuuah……!! At that moment, when [Player] ran to the altar, Triton and the huge shadow merged into one. Fah…… Fahahaha – HAHAHAHAHAHA!! [Until Dagon introduces himself later, he is assumed to be "Triton-sensei?"] 2 options (Same Response) Triton-sensei!? You’re not – The huge shadow was gaining mass; it was swelling up right before their very eyes. That large build continued to grow without stop. It went as far as to reach the ceiling above the altar. Oooh, [Player], you’re okay! Was Triton-sensei in there?! …… What is with all this shaking! What the hell is going on in there?! The large build continued to expand until it finally broke through the ceiling and exposed itself to the outside air. L-Look at that! S-Something just came out! Heaven, Earth, Sea…… Listen well! The one who created you has now been resurrected! With every breath, the sky gets cloudy. With every movement, they could feel the earth crackle. That gigantic being was too much. That being has transcended beyond human knowledge. W-What is – Aah……?! That figure…… It can’t be Triton-sensei, right?! Oh, Triton-sensei’s gotten bigger! How did he do it? Kijimuna laughed with friendly smile, despite the situation. Hey, this isn’t a joke. What the hell is going on? Waaah…… How can something be that big?! I-I can’t believe it. What kind of structure is that?!?! You idiot! This is not the time for that! 1 option What are you! ! My beloved children. The ancestors with great affection, and the rude type that is permitted for labor. W-Why do you have the same face as Triton-sensei? Are you really Triton-sensei……?! The opposite. I am the “real Triton.” The one that you encountered, it was merely just a shadow. The real Triton-sensei……? The hell do you mean by that?! Ah, my beloved children. Those who are unaware of the outside world, should live in paradise. If the ancestors do not understand of a such place, then I shall tell you of it directly. I was once an “ancestor” of the land and created all sorts of life. The fertility of the Earth, the ocean’s blessing, and even the children who ruled the heavens were created. Consequently – An appropriate name for that power is Creator of Heaven and Earth. Even in the neighboring world of Olympus, I was known for that power with the given name of “Triton.” But…… what blasphemy “they” are. They crave for those who were “Triton.” And for that, I have been “cut down.” “Triton” became a dwarf and was left behind with the “Role of an ancestor.” Do you understand how humiliating it was? They have “joked of that reason” and tore the world into pieces! Arbitrarily deciding everything within their own quota to “what it should be,” and cutting down…… meeeeeeeeeeee!! 2 options (Same Response) …… “They”? “Joked of that reason”? …… Hah. It was inevitable that you would ask about that sort of thing. The struggle between myself and “them” was for the high order. From an ant’s perspective, they understood that it will not come true. Those beings are rather dangerous. They were torn apart, lost their Roles, and eventually fell to pieces in my world. With the tentacles I borrowed from them, I was able to compensate for my lost body parts. Then I waited for the opportunity for rehabilitation. To bring Triton back into my womb, I had to expend a lot of time – And now, I have finally become complete – My true name is “Dagon the ancestor.” The creator of Canaan! 2 options (Same Response) What are you talking about? But, I don’t understand. 3 options (Same Response) Your name was Dagon, right? You gained power for yourself - You swallowed Triton-sensei! Innocent little dwarves. You should know that I am the original “Triton.” I have been since the beginning. In other words, I took form of that ideal teacher of yours. …… The problem was if “Triton” would lose the “Role of an ancestor.” He was obsessed with the “Role” of a “teacher” of “that” parallel world. He was already accustomed to it. …… It took a very long time. I needed the world that was closed from the outside. To imprison “Triton” and demonstrate my “Rule,” I set my eyes on that Lumia Kanaloa. I used the tentacles to break, invade, and bring fragments of my world and sew them to the island. That is this island. A garden to imprison that “Triton.” I invited him to the island, imprisoned him, and encouraged him to strengthen your bonds as a “teacher.” Every time that he would try to escape the island in secret, I had to clean out his memories multiple times. The existence of “Triton” is strongly connected to the “Role of ancestors.” It should not be separated. W-What…… That’s a dirty trick! As I’ve expected, they have matured. “Triton” chose that “Role” of a “teacher” – Till he abandoned the “Role of the ancestors,” it was foolish to make that a compensation. 1 option Compensation? That is correct, “returning the students to the original world.” Then “wash away all the memories about Triton.” That was the compensation that “Triton” asked for as a “teacher.” Do not fear, I will protect you. Wash away all your memories, and forget the thing known as “Triton” – 2 options (Same Response) I will do no such thing. Triton-sensei is coming back! You should know by now. “Triton” is nowhere to be found. “I” have taken the initiative. It was a such contract. “Triton” sacrificed himself in the “Role” of a teacher. No, shut up! That is your selfishness talking! Erasing our memories and bullying our sensei – I’m already pissed off! Y-Yeah…… Don’t say such selfish things! T-Triton-sensei…… is our teacher! It was fun…… taking lessons with everyone. Triton-sensei was really kind, so……! Ah, we’re taking back everything you stole. That is my policy. On top of that, that will never happen again! These children are so unreasonable. But, since the children are so passionate, this should be fun. I will play with you for a while. You will know the power of the ancestors – O-Oh my gosh!! O-Octopus, I really hate Octopus!! 2 options (Same Response) Everyone, let’s go! We’re bringing Triton-sensei back!

Part 7-1:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Hahahahahahaha! That tickles! Are you trying to tickle me? H-He doesn’t seem to feel anything at all. …… W-What’s going on?! …… Try as much as you like. You should be aware that you are like dwarves to me! Hieeeee……! Octopus…… The Octopus is coming this way!! L-Look out!! Uguh……!! UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Asterius frantically protects the shivering Kijimuna from the horde of tentacles. A-Are you okay, Kijimuna……? Huddle close to me…… s-so you don’t get hurt. Wait for a little longer…… I-It will be over…… soon……! Kijimuna did not respond to Asterius’ voice. He continued to cower and tremble in fear. A-After all…… I hate Octopus so much, no matter how many times I see it. M-My body always trembles and shivers…… …… “After all”? “No matter how many times I see it”? Kijimuna, what do – Waaah?! Uwaaaaaaaaaah!! Struck almost immediately, Asterius was swallowed by a wave of tentacles. 1 option Asterius! ! Hahahahaha…… There’s the first one. This can’t be happening…… Damn…… You have gone too far! …… Let me ask you something, Nomad. Why are you fighting? …… Why won’t you accept my love? Why not live in my world where you can receive all your ancestor’s love? What a load of crap! How many times are you going to rob me of my memory?! My important memory of being remodeled to the “body of a beast” still lingers in my heart – You were just toying around with me!! For that alone, there is no way I’m forgiving you. One more thing! My comrades – I will not let them fall in your hands! How absurd. You only just met them. You have no memories of anything. Are you not exposing yourself to danger? Memories? I barely have any of it left! But, my spirit still remembers!! I’ve lived with these guys before. We’ve spend a lot of time together! That alone gives me enough confidence! I will keep fighting for their sake! I see – You also have the attributes of “those who drift,” though it is not much. Wah?! Wait a minute, I don’t get what you’re trying to say here, you freak! Eat this! BURNING BRIIIIIIIIGHT!! Hahahahaha! The dwarf is fighting with all his strength! Shit, my power didn’t do anything to him! Gah!? A myriad of black tentacles approached Nomad. However – [Player] emitted a flash, and severed the tentacles’ erosion. You saved me, [Player]! We’ll need to do something about the main body…… 1 option I want to separate Triton-sensei from him, but – Yeah. There is a simple reason for that – 2 options (Same Response) …… He is way too strong! Where should I cut him……?! Go ahead and try, [Player]. I wonder how you will separate that “shadow” from me? Here. Triton is right here. Cut me and rescue him. That said, Dagon opened his hands wide, exposing a defenseless gap in front of [Player]’s sword. H-Hey? [Player]……! Dagon pointed at his left breast. prompting [Player] to deliver a strong blow. 2 options (Same Response) “Role” is “Wanderer” - “Rule” is “Rendering” ! ......... 2 options (Same Response) I, [Player], shall “inscribe” thy name here - Come, Yakumo no Chigiri! ! [Player] desperately slashed at the gigantic body of Dagon. However – Hahahahaha – 1 option ...... That didn’t work?! What a fine person you are, [Player]. It is adorable how hard you are trying. That surprised look on your face – it will be fun to see it again and again. …… I had seen your “dissection” many times already. That sword that you carry, I presume it has the Rule to “sever and separate a person from control.” However, this Dagon and that “Triton” share the same origin. Does that not mean we are the same being? Consequently – That puny “Rule” of yours – It will not get through me. Emerge, my “Sacred Artifact”! Hold up my world, Canaan, with pillars!! With a shout, “pillars” arose from the ground surrounding Dagon. Tentacles then began stretched out and coiled around his body. ……? Those “pillars” are – Now is the time for the world’s demise. The old, the decayed, all of life, come back to my womb! When the time comes where my life comes to an end – my children will also rot! I will rework the world from scratch – Conceal, “Over Shadow!” Together with that shout, “black” waves dyed everything. Everything that stood on the ground – Oooooough?! This guy’s…… dangerous! You, get out of – Nomad was engulfed by the black “something” – His voice and appearance – it all vanished. That is the second person - 1 option Nomad! The black waves continued to close in even further. Massive black tentacles obstructed their sight. [Player]! Fall back! We need to get out of this place quick!! I’ll carry Kijimuna! Hurry! We can’t let this guy do any more damage! 2 options Nomad and Asterius……! Okay……! Even if you want to rush in, we can’t do anything about that strong power! Besides, everyone that got caught most likely lost their memories by now. It’s terrible I know, but we need to escape! Haah, haah, haah……! Damn, we got to get out of here quick……! While they were running, a cluster of tentacles gradually filled in the distance. [Player], are you alright!? …… [Player]……? [Player]…… are you crying……? …… Students will leave the school eventually. You cannot be a “student” forever. You cannot stay in the same place forever. You must continue moving forward. If you, the students are happy – Then “I” won’t have any problems. I pray that you will continue growing in the future. [Player]. Even when you leave this school…… I will pray that you will still be happy. 3 options (Same Response) It’s tough being forgotten. Robinson was crying. Yet, Triton-sensei himself…… …… [Player]. 2 options (Same Response) But…… I couldn’t do anything. Frustrating…… It’s so frustrating……! [Player]…… ............ Kijimuna jumped off Kurogane’s back, and stood in front of the tentacles ahead. Kijimuna, what are you doing?! It’s dangerous, so let’s get out of here quick – …… I’m sorry, [Player]. I want you to know this - I, I always wanted to keep saying, “nice to meet you.” I wanted to live on the island together with you. But…… But…… Don’t cry, [Player]. I…… made a mistake. In exchange for my life…… I will protect you, [Player]. He made the children cry, I…… I must do this! …… Dagon! I won’t let you do this to my children anymore! Gajumaru of the island, lend me your power…… For the children and their smiling faces! Kajimaya Kachashi! Episode 7: [A Bud of Change] T-That’s…… W-What’s happening?! Huge banyan trees bloomed before Kijimuna. They covered and protected [Player] from the flock of tentacles. Those touched by the black tentacles were “washed.” But, the behavior of the black tentacles “could not get through.” 2 options (Same Response) Kijimuna, you - Why are you doing this?! Kijimuna, you! Are you forgetting about the kindness I had given you!! You! Since you begged for it, I will dispose of your memories! If you intend to get in my way, I will leave no memories – …… Dagon. Thanks to you, I had fun. I got to say “nice to meet you” to [Player] many times. I’m affixed to the ground of the island. Therefore…… “I’m not going anywhere.” The children are lucky to have legs. Everyone…… can go anywhere they want. Even if I forget and meet again and again…… I think it will be great to spend time playing again. I always thought it would be fine. Someday, I’d have to say “you’re staying forever” – But…… this will be my first-time being forgotten. It will sting my heart for a long time. [Player] was the only one who make me forget about being lonely. They understood me too. It makes me want to cry. I – That alone makes me…… happy. Nonsense!! Dagon showed expressions of anger for the first time at Kijimuna’s words. Sending you to oblivion all alone – I will be glad to do that!! When the time comes for me to perish – my children will perish too!! Run away, [Player], Kurogane-ne-ne! You can leave it to me! B-But…… we’re surrounded by tentacles in all directions! Even when you tell us to escape, the only way of escaping is to go above – A-Above!? 2 options (Same Response) Kurogane-senpai, Kijimuna, look! There’s something up there! ! You are all safe! Hold on, my family! I will help you escape! It was Tangaroa soaring through the skies, riding on sparkling seashells. He then extended snakes down to [Player]. H-Hey! Wasn’t he the one who attacked us last time? Should we trust him? What do you think, [Player]?! It’s alright, Kurogane-senpai! Captain [Player]! This man is a friend! So, hurry up! Get to the snake! R-Robinson?! …… Alright! Let’s go, [Player]! Kijimuna – When [Player] extended their arm, the serpent grabbed their arm and took them to the sky. 2 options (Same Response) Kijimuna, you’re coming too! (Take his hand) ......... I’m sorry. Please go on without me. This place will vanish if I try to leave. Hence, I can’t escape from here. The black tentacles will swallow up everyone. Dagon can’t move now. I’m supplementing the pillars, so they can’t escape. I will pin him down to the ground. Dagon can go wash himself away to nothing. So…… That is what I’m going to do now. In the meantime, you need to get out of here! [Player], Kurogane-ne-ne. Please take this. That said, Kijimuna grasped [Player]’s hand and gave them a branch. A gajumaru branch. That will take my place. That branch, it will protect you……! 1 option Kijimuna! ! Thank you, [Player]. Everyone. It was a lot of fun. I will always remember you – Kijimuna can be seen hanging his head, with a small tear running down his cheek. Go, Tangaroa! Please take care of everyone - My precious, precious children…… In an instant, a strong wind blows, rising Tangaroa’s shell into the sky. Kijimuna…… Kijimuna watched as [Player] leaves the scene – Kijimuna:( face) I don’t know what to say - The laughter fades away, as they vanish into the empty sky.

Part 7-2:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island You can come down now, my children. You can now get some rest. 1 option Where......? This is a village built by my beloved children living on this island. We can rest here for a while. 2 options (Same Response) No, this isn’t the time! We need to help Kijimuna quick……! …… Kijimuna is gone. I fear that he most likely used up all his power. So…… Kijimuna…… wanted to help us get away……? I understand your feelings of sorrow. It is painful to lose someone that is dear to you. For now, you must rest. Also, please listen to this Tangaroa’s story. 2 options (Same Response) Tangaroa-san…… Have you come to your senses? Ah…… [Player]. I am thankful that thou cut off my tentacles. Those tentacles were planted onto us. We became puppets and worked as slaves. I…… likely might have done the same to you – I would plant the tentacles and manipulate you. That “Triton” would not have wanted for his students to be in such condition. …… However, I will give thou my thanks, my beloved children. Thanks to thou, thou have saved us from a crisis. This boy – He has informed me of what has happened after I was manipulated. Captain [Player]! And Kurogane-senpai too. Even if it’s just you two, I’m glad you’re safe……! 3 options (Same Response) You saved us, Robinson. But, Kijimuna…… Asterius and Nomad…… Stay strong, Captain! There is still hope. That Dagon, didn’t he mention a “compensation” in returning everyone including the captain to their original worlds? You’re still here, Captain. Even if everyone’s injured…… you can’t admit defeat yet! 2 options (Same Response) …… Yeah, you’re right. Thanks, Robinson. …… Aah. No problem, Captain! With the resurrection of Dagon, I feel his power is increasing and eventually destroy this island. For that reason, the gajumaru trees, the birthplace of Kijimuna, and the inhabited islands would be disposed of by that power. Do you mind explaining what the hell is going on? That would help us a lot. I will tell you everything we know about Dagon. Let’s start exchanging information. Dagon created the world of Canaan. As he has said, he was torn up to pieces by someone. Therefore, for him to live for a long time as fragments, he used my creation, the Lumia Kanaloa. I see, so that’s why the geological formation is different! He forcibly merged different islands together! However, it is said that different worlds are of that same “seashell.” To forcibly merge them, he used a “staple.” That is how the “gajumaru” was able to live as Kijimuna. He wedged himself into the ground of the island and enclosed himself in the roots. He “stapled” the roots, and forcibly joined multiple islands together. Now that Dagon has awakened, all the islands would rapidly become the world, Canaan. 1 option He’s going to sacrifice multiple islands to revive his world……? …… As Triton wanted, he wanted him to take you back to your original world. Afterwards, Dagon controlled this island, and later have intents of dictating. If so, Kijimuna would not wake up again – He would dispose us of our minds and make us servants. Kijimuna would never wake up again……? In other words, he wouldn’t come back?! Naturally. If the power of Dagon disappears or the parasitic world of Canaan vanishes, the gajumaru will regain energy. Simply speaking…… You can save Triton-sensei? Awesome! That story was easy to understand. To protect this island and most of all, my children – I will lend you my strength. If that gentle child, Kijimuna does not return to its original form, there will be sorrow. That child’s cheerfulness…… He is like the sun floating above the island countries. 2 options (Same Response) You know Kijimuna? You…… remember about Kijimuna. Of course. Before I lost my memory – we lived together here on this island. …… You remembered? But, it was clear that the tentacles washed away your memories – Kijimuna and of course myself – we still remember the days we spent together. That is because we are of the same roots as those on the island, “those who cannot be swept away.” We cannot be swept away by any waves. In other words, no matter what methods he uses, it is impossible for the memories of Kijimuna and myself to be taken away. Therefore, Dagon had no choice but to implant me with the tentacles, and used me as a puppet. Ooh…… I see, so that’s the case! Huh? Didn’t he say that he is going to “dispose” of Kijimuna’s memories on purpose? Perhaps…… it was a “bluff.” He was afraid of something else. …… The world of that world, each Rule has a “hierarchy.” Two contradictory powers of different worlds – Who knows what will happen. The existence of the world, Canaan would vanish. Dagon was afraid of that. 2 options (Same Response) Ah, I get it! Robinson seems to know everything~. Why doesn’t the Captain remember? Even if our memories were washed away, the information of our “occupation” still remains right? 2 options (Same Response) “Occupation” ? Information? What – Uh…… Think of it like a “peer.” Maybe that isn’t the right one to use? Oh, well…… That’s how I see you, Captain, yeah that’s right! Mhm! Anyways, there’s something more important right now. …… We need to do something about Dagon. He does not belong in the world of “fire, water, and earth,” and neither the heavens and the underworld. We must take down that “Demon.” For that reason, he flowed through various worlds and flowed to this island. 2 options (Same Response) Eh? Robinson, you – Many of my “fathers’” were given an important job. It was to “protect everyone in the world.” Because of that, I can accomplish anything. Including “dividing the island into two” – …… Stop the story there. Everyone, look over there! 2 options (Same Response) .........! That’s – Dagon’s servants, the black merpeople, closed in. And the vanguard were – 2 options (Same Response) Asterius...... Nomad......! Hey, there you guys are. Dagon-sensei was…… looking…… Y-Yeah, you better get back soon. Or do you want Dagon-sensei to s-scold you……? They’re evil…… Capture them, don’t let them get away – Aaaaaah……! Warriors?:( face) Our father, why do you betray Dagon……? Oh, my head…… my head hurts – Warriors?:( face) That’s right, Dagon-sama is our great lord – You must compensate for opposing him! Asterius, Nomad and a countless number of warriors, who are being manipulated by black tentacles, began to attack [Player]. What a terrible situation…… My children are still in his hands. [Player] – Please. Please lend me your power. 2 options (Same Response) Ah, I’ll slash those tentacles - Attack! ! I’ll help, Captain! Even if it gets a little rough, we’re going to take back everyone! Yeah! We won’t let this continue! Let’s join forces and get this over with! Those who come from outside of this island, my soul trembles from that friendship and your bravery. Now is the time to unveil it. The Lumia Kanaloa, the creator of this Tangaroa’s power!

Part 8-1:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island On this island – There is a secret ceremony that is passed down through generations. One is chosen among the many tribes to be approved and undergo the inheritance ritual of the Shellfish Dragon, Tangaroa. In the secret ceremony, I have accepted “Tangaroa” from the predecessor, and learned the original significance of all the body and the five senses. “To become Tangaroa” – It was literally meaningful. When I received the cane decorated with bones, I am sure I saw a vision. A brilliant shellfish was drifting in the empty sky; a dragon was dwelling in it. And that was the beginning of the Lumia Kanaloa. The history of the gentle dragon began flowing in. Life was unexpectedly born in this world, my flesh and blood and above all, the blessings of nature. Yes, the cane which I believed was just ordinary jewelry, was the remains of the “original Tangaroa.” It was Tangaroa’s last moments left behind, a legacy to us. Those who can draw out the knowledge from Tangaroa can “inherit Tangaroa” for generations. The quantity was vast and excessive. The experience built up over the generations made me feel like rubbish. I will satisfy those who live on the island including myself, with inexhaustible love. In addition to this, I believe there is nothing to believe in. I thought about dedicating everything for my own flesh and blood. I, under the name of “Tangaroa” will follow the voices of the great father, and teach the people of the island. Everyone depended on me as their father. I praised myself as the predecessor of the previous generations. However, “I” have been called “Tangaroa.” This “me” was a “puppet of the past.” With the invasion of Dagon, he has trampled me down. The world will be devoured. I could not use any of “Tangaroa’s knowledge.” That was my first experience. For the Lumia Kanaloa to be invaded from an outside world, it was due to lack of experience as “Tangaroa.” The voices of the “great father” resonated from the cane held in my hand to “my” mind – It was sorrowful. This “me” is like the “Tangaroa” of the last generation, as the “father” gently said as I closed my eyes. However – they do not have a body to do as they please. I finally realized the foolish “me.” Now, only this “me” can protect my beloved children. Fathers, I will leave you to protect them and for them to live. I followed the path you opened and stepped across the corpse. This is where I am now. Therefore – It will be my turn next. “I” spoke that to the bone cane that I hold. Now is the time for “me” to be the father of this island. I will look after your children here with my life. Please give me your blessing. Your children will open your peaceful cradle and let you depart. Now, this “me” will be the only “Tangaroa.” Not the name of the great father, but of wisdom – And not blood. That “grief” will be the one to succeed. A strict but warm voice can be heard from the cane – It felt like it was laughing for the first time. Episode 8: [The Island’s Collapse] Tribesmen:( face) Everyone! Be wary of the black tentacles! We must not let them take over the land! You all are so foolish. You should just wait quietly for your destruction. Perish? Are you not going to rule this world? What is your objective……? Tangaroa, I am very grateful to you. So…… This is a thank you from him. …… This world will be destroyed along with you. That is his decision, and it cannot be overturned. It is not for domination but rather to destroy it – What will you gain from doing this?! That is…… It is for you all. He is doing this to make you all happy. Everything and the people living in this world will be “destroyed.” His mercy will stop their lamentations. It is an “eternal paradise.” If the world was destroyed, you would not have to worry about perishing forever, no? What you are saying is illogical. However – “I do believe it is truly mercy.” You are a lunatic – No, Dagon is – Ohoho…… Ahahaha! How dare you tell us that we are insane. Everything in the world is like a bamboo ship drifting out in the stormy sea. It is impossible to tell that it would be short-lived. - What? Knowing that, everyone will become mad. - We have talked for far too long. .........! …… Sheesh, you are hard to deal with. Just listen to what Dagon-sensei says! E-Everyone and [Player] – Why are you doing this? S-Stop doing this….. C-Come back with us. 2 options (Same Response) Asterius! Nomad! You have to remember! It’s useless, Junior! Those two…… They’re being manipulated by the black tentacles. The others have been manipulated the same way – You can’t afford to get reckless and hurt them. But there is way too many of them! How are we supposed to not hurt them? Why not I use my “Sacred Artifact” to take them down in a skillful manner instead of hurting them?! That’s – Fall back, my children. 1 option Tangaroa-san! The countless warriors, manipulated by the tentacles, were led by the black merpeople. Tangaroa went to the front-lines alone before them. Kurogane, Robinson, and [Player]. Please take care of Asterius and Nomad. This Tangaroa – I will take care of the rest who are being manipulated. 2 options (Same Response) How are you going to take them on? Don’t be absurd! My beloved children live on this island; they were born here on this island. Because thou are visiting the island…… Thou are also my beloved child. A father should protect his children from danger. [Player], Kurogane, Robinson. Asterius and Nomad also. Even though you have forgotten – We spent a long time together. Triton and Kijimuna also – As a mentor and leader, he has shown ye spirit and protected you well. That is why you’re here. [Player], please leave this to your father. Hahaha…… Despite being outnumbered, you are still courageous. I think I will implant the tentacles onto you again. ......... When Tangaroa raised his cane made of bone high in the air, shining seashells began to appear. You are trying to protect yourself with those lovely seashells? Heehee, how cute. Let’s see…… How about we break through it with tentacles? …… As you know, you broke into this world from the outside. An Octopus uses its suckers to pry open a seashell to devour the contents. Yet – Have you tried doing it from the “inside”? How do you mean? It is all that wraps around thee. Our flesh and blood will perish. Yes. Ye are already on the palm of Tangaroa’s hands – Lumia Kanaloa! ……?! This can’t be! The black merpeople, and those being manipulated, were confined within the huge shining seashell that appeared. The inside of the combined seashells is that of a completely closed space. Your ringleader, Dagon’s powers will not reach you. It is a matter of time before the connection with the power of the “Demon” is cut off. Until it wears off, you will stay quiet in there – Voice resounding within the Seashell:( face) Oouuuuuuuuuugh! Let us out, let us ouuuut!! Sounds of lashing out within the seashell can be heard. To their dismay, it was a rather sturdy seashell. Nice one, Tangaroa-san! You have kept them trapped in an orb – The seashell certainly cannot be broken into. However, Tangaroa’s body is the practitioner – …… Guhuh……! Tangaroa’s entire body has wounds; blood was gushing out of those wounds. Tangaroa-san?! Why do you have wounds all the sudden……! That seashell was once the form of Lumia Kanaloa. That is, “Tangaroa” is the living flesh and blood of itself. Therefore, attacks on that seashell will also harm my own body – If you knew about that, why did you do it?! Even if we have ten people including [Player] with their sword, we cannot cut a hundred people at the same time. So…… to not injure my beloved children, I had no choice but to do it. I know that a “father” is a “child’s guardian.” …… Is that what everyone considers a “father”? …… I don’t get it, I just don’t get a father’s feelings. It’s like I was “thrown away by my own father.” ...... Robinson …… Haha. I may not be aware that I was cast away from the other side. I haven’t even met him yet. …… Robinson. Do you truly hate your own father? Robinson hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. It’s pride, I think. That’s who I am…… I guess it’s like an “evil influence” tying me up in the end. But, surely my own father doesn’t love me. After all, I was always lonely. Robinson. Even if the things you say are of truth – Thou are not alone. There is [Player]. Thou are living together with everyone. Also, there is a father that loves you, right here. …… Idiot. I don’t understand what you mean. A father who isn’t even related by blood – Whether everyone forgot, thou and I still remember. We lived together, hunted game, ate and slept together. Robinson, thou are part of the island; “Tangaroa” raised you here as his flesh and blood. So – That flesh and blood, it is the same as the people living on this island. Robinson, if this father loses his life trying to protect thou, I have no regrets or fears. It may be the end to the struggle. The sounds of the attacks on the seashell became louder and more violent. Also, more wounds began to appear. …… G-Guhaah……! Tangaroa-san! Stop…… Just stop it already! …… Please say “keep at it,” my beloved son. With those words, this father will not submit. I learned that I was kept alive by my father’s love. Now as a father, I will not hesitate in keeping my son alive. Tangaroa…… san. …… Okay! Keep at it! …… That…… Tangaroa…… Father! …… Ah. Tangaroa laughed. The brilliant seashell shined strongly in response to it – OOOOOOOOOOOOOUGH!! 2 options (Same Response) The black tentacles are coming……! ! Kurogane-senpai, this is bad! This is……! Those tentacles are really persistent! Eh? W-What the……? The branch we got from Kijimuna is glowi- oh! 2 options (Same Response) It’s driving away the tentacles! ! Kijimuna’s protecting us……! What the hell was that……?! The hand of our great lord…… It can’t get through?! That was…… Kiji…… Muna……? Why……? Why is that?! The two were disturbed by the power from the branch of the gajumaru. Seeing it as a good opportunity, [Player] approached them. ......! ......! Ignoring Nomad and Asterius, they took aim at the tentacles on their backs. Then – 2 options (Same Response) I, [Player] shall “inscribe” thy name here - Come, Yakumo no Chigiri! OOOOOOUGH?! …… T-Thanks. You…… really helped us…… S-Sorry…… Thank you…… Everyone…… The tentacles that were planted onto the pair were detached by [Player]’s blow. Just like puppets with threads, they fell to the ground. …… Magnificent, [Player]. Nomad and Asterius are both alright! It looks like they just fainted. That’s good……! Let us put them on the bed over and let them rest. They should wake soon. It’s not over yet. Father Tangaroa look! The seashell is diminishing fast! Looking at the heavily wounded Tangaroa, Robinson’s face looks like he’s about to cry. Ah, it has released just now. Everyone, please stand down. Ku…… You… Yoouuuu!! When the seashell broke, only the two black merpeople were standing there. The others have lost conscious and were knocked out. The black tentacles that were attached to them withered as if they lost its strength. You cannot fight us any longer. It is best that you withdraw. Shut up! KAAAAAAAAAH! – The black mermaid screams and sends the remaining black tentacles at [Player]. [Player] sliced up the tentacles with their sword; The debris faded away into the light. Ku……! …… Leave. How…… How could this happen! If our great ancestor found out, our life – Children of Dagon, you love your own father. This Tangaroa is confident of that. Dagon will still love you deeply. Your father feels the same way, it is difficult for one’s children to part with sorrow. Thou should not cause more sadness for oneself. ...... The black merpeople glared at Tangaroa, then disappeared into the veil of darkness. We put the two down on a bed. They haven’t regained consciousness yet, but they’ll be fine. That is good. Although they were manipulated, the rescue was a success. However – It is time for the decisive battle with Dagon. We must make haste. The power within the branch that Kijimuna left behind, I do not know how long it will last. In addition – There are two problems. 1 option First, we need to find a way to save Triton-sensei. I can do something about him using my “Rule.” 1 option You’re gonna use that rifle? Hmm. Because of the wave of tentacles getting in the way, if I can’t maintain visibility, I don’t think I can utilize it…… 2 options (Same Response) Well, there is another way. How about we deal with the black tentacles? I think I have an idea about that. Do you remember what Kijimuna said? “Without those pillars, Dagon himself will be washed away by the black waves.” If we did something to the bedrock where the pillars stand, he won’t be able to use his tentacles, right? If he can’t use them at least, I think he’ll get himself swept away by the waves. Doing something to the bedrock of the island…… Kurogane-senpai, you really think it’s possible? I was certainly told that I can “divide the island.” Since there’s nothing we can do at the current state, I guess – If it was an ordinary one, then it can’t be done. Since “this is what the island is now,” it may be possible. 2 options (Same Response) “This is what the island is now”? What do you mean by that, Kurogane-senpai? This island’s geological formation is a mess. If something is done for a moment, landslides will occur. If the gajumaru tree that is becoming the “staple” weakens, it is likely that we can destroy the bedrock all at once. With the use of my “right arm,” I can search for that point. Yep, you can leave that to me! I see…… That being the case, I will “divide” that point when you figure it out! Then you will have to dig down through the earth of the island to destroy it. The children of my tribe will go along with you. My children are brave tribal warriors. They will certainly protect you. After Tangaroa said that, several warriors appeared from behind the settlement. These brave warriors escaped from the hands of Dagon. I know of this island more than anyone else. This Tangaroa was trained well and well-educated. Well, that’s reassuring! I’m counting on all of you. Fire Tribesman:( face) Yes. Leave it to us. We will do our best for the others. 2 options (Same Response) Things are starting to look up! Let’s keep at it for a while longer! Please forgive us…… My great lord…… The defeat merpeople reported their circumstances to Dagon. …… Incompetent. You are no longer any use to me. When Dagon lifted his hand, tentacles came out from the black merpeople and returned to Dagon. Why, Why…… Aaah. Our great…… ancestor…… why……? ...... Like a sewing string being pulled out, the merpeople fell apart and vanished into the empty sky. Fah…… Do I still stand as the Role of an “imitator”? It is a shame that you believed that I was the real deal till the end. The real one was destroyed a long time ago. A ghost was given “tentacles” after being broken into thousands of pieces, I simply used them as a diversion…… This Dagon will secure this world with “Sacred Artifact of Pillars” …… Existing as fragments would have been impossible. This is good. I should have done this right from the beginning – Recollecting many tentacles, the body of Dagon grew even more; it was enough to poke the clouds. Ooh – Yes – Ahh – Aaaah!! With every tentacle adding into his body, every time they were taken in, his mind shrieked. He found himself going mad. But, it was no longer the case. He no longer remembers himself. Dagon who was given the “Role” of the “ancestors” desired more. …… Ah, that’s right. Soon – I will soon “destroy” ……! The “ancestor” will soon “destroy” – Ooough?! What is – Aaaah!?!? Beyond the mountain was the gigantic figure of Dagon. In addition, Kurogane was at a loss for words. 2 options (Same Response) …… Let’s go. This is the final battle! Yeah, you can leave this to me! Trust me, Captain [Player]! No matter what he looks like, there is always a weak point! Don’t worry, if we join forces, we can win this! I will demonstrate myself as Tangaroa. My children that still follow me, we shall be victorious! Right! Now – To the final battle, everyone!

Part 8-2:

[Translated by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island The day where the world was destroyed. The world that I created, Canaan, fell apart due to outrageous circumstances. The world that I created as an “ancestor” – My children split me into a thousand pieces in the blink of an eye. That was foolish of me to protect those who should not be protected. I could have lived. I was left behind in an empty space and struggled. After an eternity, I realized that it was impossible. While compensating “me” with the “not me,” I realized that I was caught up in the madness. Trying to connect my consciousness with my remains – The profound “hatred," Triton vanished. That other self is what I should have kept. It was an inexcusable thing. As time passed, I was fueled by madness, and my hatred swelled up. In one corner of my consciousness, I thought about “sanity.” I wondered if it was truly hatred. That…… I still question that to this day, concealed by the overflowing madness. Yes, when I perish – my children will all perish too – OOOOOOOOOUUUGH!! The body of Dagon became even more huge, the quantity of black tentacles became a great flood and overflowed. Dagon is on a rampage. Nobody can see if there is any sanity left in Dagon. A violent weapon created to sweep away everything, that is the current form of Dagon. What a fearsome, atrocious demon. Are you planning to wash away the islands for your world, Canaan? However, it is favorable if you turn your eyes over your head. …… Look. Dagon, turn your eyes. Tangaroa and [Player], who were fluttering around in the sky on a floating seashell, attracted the attention of the huge Dagon’s eyes. A swarm of endless tentacles attacked from all directions, Tangaroa riding on the seashell, dodged them in a spectacular manner. [Player], who was riding together on a seashell, failed to avoid them and fought back with their sword. 2 options (Same Response) Dagon is gigantic……! He is going to engulf the island in black waves! Everyone has placed their trust on us, [Player]. There is something that we must do. We will turn his consciousness over this way. Doing so will divert his attention away from those on the ground. This father has grasped you tightly. My child, [Player]! 3 options Yes, Tangaroa. Yes, Father! Understood, Papa! [Player], my beloved child. Thy voice shall give this Tangaroa strength. Now, fly high, Lumia! Deliver that brilliance to the eyes of everyone living on the island!! Hmm, trying to find something out of the ordinary on a common beach…… Can you really find the point to destroy the geological formation? Yeah, I can find it. I’m playing an active part here…… Senpai has nothing to lose! I’ve been examining the strata of this island for a long time. I couldn’t stop because it was very intriguing. The combinations of the stratums should be enough to draw out the brittle parts. This is where my “Sacred Artifact” comes into play! I will just need to get down a little. Now, I will show you something neat! Eisernen Glied!! The right arm of Kurogane is a “Sacred Artifact” that grabs what is not visible. He is analyzing the earth’s crust as if he’s “taking it in his hands.” This is bad! The tentacles of Dagon…… are coming to the beach! Crap! They’re advancing faster than I thought! Dagon must have anticipated this…… Kurogane-senpai! Hurry up! Or this whole area will be engulfed! It also takes time to put my “Rule” into my bullets! You better finish this quick! I know! But, I don’t want screw this up! A little more…… The analysis should be done in a bit! …… We’ll hold them off. We’ll buy you some time. W-What are you saying! You will be swallowed up by those tentacles! ......... We are the people of the island who we see Tangaroa as our father. Now, he is sacrificing his life for us. We are brave warriors trembling with fighting spirit. We will also risk our lives to fend off the invaders! Even if we get exhausted, for our father, for this island, this is our battle for the lives of the island! Y-You guys…… …… Alright. Stop the progression of the waves! But…… But……! .........? Even if you all get wiped out, we will surely win! So…… We’ll meet again! Brothers! …… Ah! We will display the hidden techniques passed down to us by Tangaroa while you aim at the weak point of the island’s ground! Hurry, Kurogane-senpai! If you stop here, your dignity as a Senpai is done for! Analysis at 60%...... 70%...... Just a little longer……! (The gajumaru’s power is amazing…… A tremendous number of islands were bound together……!) Analysis complete!! Robinson! Southwest of here, distance of 521.5m! I’ll go to that branch and throw myself into the sky! Quick! Also, I’ll be sure to hit the mark! Eh? Robinson, what are you trying to say – No, I understand! Go for iiiiiiiit!! With the power of the wind caused by the gajumaru tree’s branch, Robinson soared up high in the sky. Holding the back of the musket in one hand, one bullet in the other hand. He then put his “Rule” into it. This person will become someone with many fragmented Robin Hoods. To protect the people, the castaway threw themselves into battle to divide the island. One great name is not for that person alone. One great achievement is shared amongst many. Therefore, I was given the name, Robinson. I will fulfill the will of my fathers and defend the people of the world! And now…… A new person who already loves me. In behalf of Tangaroa, I will shoot at the island!! I will not make it in time if I run now! I will aim at the pinpoint from above!! “Role” is “Wanderer”! “Rule” is “Great Divider”!! Fire! Island Divider! At that moment, Tangaroa in the air noticed that rumbling in the ground occurred in several places on the island. Aah…… Robinson, Kurogane…… And my beloved children of the island, you did it. The bound islands are separating, they cannot keep its shape. Everyone…… You have done a fine job. Robinson’s Rule of “Dividing” eroded the islands. The world of Canaan was broken apart. The power of erosion overflowed through the cross section and shook the islands violently. Furthermore – Ku……!! This cannot be happening!! The “pillars” themselves surrounding Dagon were unharmed. However, the rock bed that it relied on collapsed, causing the “pillars” to heel over. Dagon who lost balance instinctively withdrew the tentacles. He himself will get washed away due to the lack of support. But, that moment – It was the one that [Player] aimed for. Dagon! That body, that power, those tentacles! All of it will be contained!! Lumia Kanaloa! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! What! This is – Tangaroa has successfully imprisoned the gigantic build of Dagon inside a seashell. The power-scale will not hold out for long. Dagon is also desperately trying to break out of the seashell. …… There is not much time! Quickly, my children! 2 options (Same Response) Let’s do it! We….. will win! …… Such strong children. I wonder how you raised such strong children. Triton. Your path is not wrong. Even so, who can say that “it is wrong”? …… Now, Dagon! Fellow Creator of Heaven and Earth, this is a test of strength! Over here, over here! Caaaaaaaaptain! Over heeeeeeeere! Kurogane-senpai is waiting over there. Let’s move quickly! We need to finish things off! …… Amazing…… This power is amazing……! Kurogane-senpai! I’ve brought the Captain! Okay, Captain. Show your sword to your Senpai. 2 options (Same Response) Why? Kurogane-senpai, this is…… …… I’m forging [Player]’s sword through the power of “Eisernen Glied,” my “Sacred Artifact.” That said, Kurogane’s right arm is shining with tremendous power. On this right hand, the power leaking from the fault is stored abundantly. Think of it like a storehouse. I can concentrate the power of Junior’s “Sacred Artifact.” Essentially after this, I will get accustomed to the growth of the “Sacred Artifact’s” power. For that reason, Junior’s “Sacred Artifact” will be heavily amplified – I should be able to inflict a strong blow. There’s no time to lose! Let’s get going, Junior! You and I, we will show him our power! …… Kuh…… Not yet…… I will protect my children…… This father will fight to the death! What?! The light coming from the beach……! That must be……! It extended from the beach; a huge pillar of light was protruding the clouds. Seeing that, Tangaroa understood. He undid the seal of the seashell that imprisoned Dagon. …… What is that pillar of light! There is such a thing on this island – Dagon noticed it. It was not a “pillar” of light, but rather a “sword” of light. 2 options (Same Response) “Role” is “Wandering” - “Rule” is “Rendering”! Stop…… Stop……!! 1 option I, [Player], shall “inscribe” thy name here – OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!! 1 option Come, Yakumo no Chigiri! ! That shriek was engulfed – The sword of light raised a roar and slashed at the gigantic Dagon.

Part 9:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Mysterious Island Dagon:( face) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU - No way!! He’s making a counterattack……! Junior! Get away quick! The giant tentacles…… are coming this way……! I…… will not perish alone! As I said from the start…… I will wash away everything! Everything!! With those words, giant tentacles approached them with the last of their strength. If one reached them, it would be all over. 1 option We won’t make it in time! There is no sound, only a thunderous roar. Nothing. ???:( face) …… Eheh…… Y-You…… can leave this to me. W-Well, should I go on ahead……? Ah…… Ah……! 1 option Asterius?! …… Stay away from them. Labrus Labryinthus!! The giant tentacles could not reach Asterius and [Player]. The tentacles soon disappeared after exhausting its strength. I-I will not run away again……! For Kijimuna…… with this power……! Now, [Player]! Let’s chop that guy uuuuuuuup!! 2 options (Same Response) OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU! ! HAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ! Dagon:( face) GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! With a flash of the giant sword, The tentacles extending from Dagon’s body were all dismembered. You did it! You did it, Captain! - Eeeeeeeeh!!? Why am I in the air!! Sheesh – Don’t celebrate when it isn’t over. No…… Nomad-san! Nomad rushed into the air with his mobility while carrying Robinson. I’ve brought you into the air to make it easier for you to aim. Give that bastard the finishing blow! ......! GAAAAAAH!! However, Dagon utilized his gigantic build, and attempted to destroy everyone with his arms. GUOOOOOOOOH!! Foremost. Dagon was abruptly struck by a lightning strike, stopping his movement. And - I will fire at you once more! Island Divider!! The bullet Robinson fired split into two on orbit, sucking in Dagon’s left breast. There were two bullet marks. To exemplify the power of dividing, that is his “Rule.” In the following moment, Triton was separated from Dagon. At that moment, victory has been decided. D-Did we do it……? That is the “Rule” given to Captain and myself. All of the black tentacles, which were the source of Dagon’s power, “broke away.” Triton-sensei, who was taken in by him, was also “separated.” Triton, you have come back to my family. Now – Dagon will soon vanish. ……… This Tangaroa has a favor to ask of thou. Listen to the final words of Dagon…… He is a hated enemy, but even at the last moment, I cannot bring myself to hate him. He is…… afflicted by madness. I believe the things he spoke of are of truth. He will be forgotten. I would like you to keep him in your memories. [Player], he was being cautious of you. I believe you resemble someone that he cares about. Even if he has forgotten of that memory…… Thou should share your memories with him…… That is the least thou can do before he disappears. 1 option (Nods) Thank you. Thou are a kind child. Triton, whose existence was to supplement the tentacles, was also separated. Dagon cannot exist for much longer and will soon disappear into the light. …… Thank you, [Player], for doing this before I perish. I am Dagon, the creator of the world, Canaan. I am an “ancestor” – I perished along with my children. While I am the ancestor of Canaan, I was the only one living in it – I could not forgive myself. 1 option …… Why didn’t you stop? …… Hah…… I’m not sure. You are a student of that “me.” [Player]. That Triton is not “me.” However, he is one part of “me.” So, the student of that “me” – You…… why did you hurt me - …… Ah. Is that so. I finally understand…… I was envious of “Triton.” I should have not disposed of such things with the “Role” of an “ancestor.” I should have protected and lived with them - That is why I hate it. Yes…… Hah, hahaha…… Soon…… I do not have much time left. …… Farewell, [Player]. The same for Robinson, who carries the same burden. Let me offer some advice before I disappear; the words from a failure. Do not get caught up in that “Role.” It may be “there” but it truly “is not.” You should not conduct yourselves in that “Role.” It is not wordplay – “There is truly no such thing.” You…… may have been born a “Wanderer,” but if you think on that, then you may become a “Dragon Snake.” You do not have knowledge of that boy and myself. Now, you only see it as your chance of “victory.” You need to know of it in advance. “Human-kind” was created to be the strongest, and now it will be incorporated into the worst system. And that system, it will automatically dispel what protrudes. That will fall under as an “evil influence.” When you believed that you lost the “Role” that you were given, that “evil influence” will creep in through that gap, just like with me. And that “evil influence” will eat away at your most important memories, corrupting you. But, you are living freely. Keep that in mind when you find yourself in a dilemma. …… Hah, that was a rigorous speech. When you go back to your original world, you won’t keep this in your memories…… What? 2 options (Same Response) That speech was hard to follow but - Triton-sensei would have said the same. Hah…… Hahahaha! The same – Hahahahaha!! One last thing. I will leave behind a gift. My name is Dagon. I once controlled Heaven and Earth. Indeed, I brought fertility with my given name. Dagon’s body turns into light and rains over the island. The destroyed nature of the island was restored. At that moment, [Player] noticed that flowers bloomed on the gajumaru branch held in his hand. Final Episode: [Farewell to the Remote Island] Sigh*…… This will be the last time looking at the scenery here. After three more days, we’ll return to our original world. Our memories will come back when we return. But, what about our memories here……? What can you do? It doesn’t matter if I forget. There’s something I still need to do when I get back. Nothing more. No matter how steep the path is, this is the path I chose for myself. This island is just a slight detour. If I forget, I may be able to relax a little easier. I won’t be admired as an inventor if I forgot! I’ll need to record this, otherwise I can’t move on! The important thing is to record everything. Even if I forget, it will come back to me! Come to think of it, Kurogane, because you were recording time on the lumber, you realized that your memory was taken away? I gotta say, you played well. Hahaha, don’t praise me about that. The important thing is to record this right away! Besides, don’t assume that we won’t be seeing each other again. We’ll meet again in the original world. What a basic story. I’m not even sure if we came from the same world or not. Basic or not. Believe - If you continue to believe, that dream will come true, Junior! Huh? Junior? You were here a second ago…… They went out a while ago. Why, are you going them? …… Nah, it’s fine. A senpai should let them be once in a while. If you say so. Heh - Captain [Player]? Wait, you can’t go to sleep yet! The output from using my “Sacred Artifact” was a bit much. I could rest for a while longer but…… I’m fine. Well…… There is something I want to do again in that world…… Captain…… I’m glad to have met you, [Player]. You are the same as the person that I first met. I know now that I’m not alone. When I was sad and lonely…… I met the Captain and endured it. When you leave the island, we may not meet again. …… So…… Can you…… take my hand? Just to leave a little something behind…… Captain. 1 option (Holds his hand) T-Thanks…… I…… don’t want to part ways…… with Captain. But, I think we’ll meet again someday. After all, we’re both “Wanderers.” I’m sure of it. …… But, there are still three days before we go back. So, let’s spend time together! We never got a chance to till now. It’s a distraction from the next task. I’ll do it when I get in the mood. Come on, let’s go! ......... [Player]. What happened on that day…… I-I heard everything. Everything about…… Ki-Kijimuna. But, he…… didn’t come back. He might have disappeared…… We should go help…… T-The gajumaru tree was restored to what it was before…… …… I-I wonder how he was feeling. Forgetting and meeting again and again…… W-Well, not again and again. No matter how well we get along, he’ll say “nice to meet you” again. I think he is a nice kid. Despite being trapped in this world, he wants to make everyone laugh. He only knows of this island…… From the bottom of his heart, he wants to live happily with everyone. H-He’ll be alone. I don’t know if there’s any other possibilities. N-Nobody told me anything. I realized that I was “lonesome” when we first met. For our sake, I had to use that power…… H-He might have done something bad but, I-I can’t hate him for that…… B-But t-thanks to him…… I…… got the chance to meet you and everyone. 2 options (Same Response) …… Yeah. We’ll see Kijimuna again. ......... [Player]. We’ll be going home soon…… I hope…… we meet again. Kijimuna. Heey, where are you, Kijimuna! Kijimuna was staring at a flower that bloomed on the rocky part of the beach. The flower was blowing in the sea breeze; it was frail and quietly bloomed on the spot. Kijimuna. Why are you alone in a place like this? …… Triton-sensei. How did you know I was here? What are you saying? Is it strange for a teacher to come find their student? ......... Are you…… scared of everyone? Are you worried that they might be angry with you? Kijimuna shook his face sideways to Triton’s question. It is hard to part ways with everyone, is it not? If you do not see them now, it will get harder - ......... …… In the morning three days later, that Tangaroa will send us back to our original world. Although…… It seems he is just going to open the seashell in the sky. That Dagon called out for my students. That was the “art of summoning.” I still remember that from my knowledge. If you exhaust the “link” with Dagon, you can return to where you were originally. …… “Summoning” …… The way to go to other worlds. There’s really something like that - Yes, but “those who were summoned” must do what that “person” wants. However, those who were called respond to their wishes. That is usually the case. Also, we most likely won’t have any memory of this place. If the Closed Area of the seashell is undone - The outcome brought by Dagon’s “power” will be lost. In addition, their original memories will come back. There will be no memory or continuity of this island. It will certainly be gone. To begin with, I am not sure if we came from the same world. But…… I will be saying goodbye to this world. So, we will have to say goodbye, Kijimuna. …… Hey, Triton-sensei. Sensei, what do you think of this flower? He pointed at the flower that bloomed on the rocky area, where the soil is not rich - Kijimuna questioned that without looking at Triton. Sensei, do you think I’m an idiot? And - …… People choose their own paths to follow, even if someone laughs at them for that. Even when this flower took root in this spot – When it withers, one can deem that it is “unfortunate.” …… Hmm. And – The day to say farewell has come. Well then – My beloved children. I will open the seashell and connect the path to the world where which thou came. [Player] and the others mutually said good-bye to each other. Hey, Captain! Someday, somewhere……. we’ll see each other again! So, this…… isn’t goodbye! …… Heheh. If we happen to run into each other again, try not to tag along with me. …… I’ll be caught up in revenge, I don’t want any of you to see me like that. Saying good-bye will make me feel lonely…… Well, I guess this is good-bye then. E-Even if we forget, we will all see each other again…… I believe so…… I’m looking forward to that! Same here, Junior! The next time we meet, I’ll still be your senpai, and you’ll still be my Junior! Till then, stay strong! Don’t worry! I’ll be sure to make ya happy~! Farewell, my students. Where ever you go, you must always move on. I will be your teacher, always. My children, thy efforts were very admirable. As the island’s creator, this father would like to thank ye once more. In this battle, I “Tangaroa” have learned very much. The words left behind by Dagon, the ancestor of the parallel world, I shall keep them in the bottom of my heart. To protect the people, I am aware that it is impossible if I was still secluded to this land. I will bring brave men along with me. I am planning to experience the outside world. If I am still connected to the former hero, I will be pleased to go. We shall meet again in the end of time and the heavens, my beloved children! A strong future awaits thee! [Player] and the others became light and crossed the border between worlds. They leapt through time and passed through the heavens. What happened during that time will disappear like water leakage. It will all seem like it was just a daydream. They thought that they would never forget. Nevertheless, the pressure of approaching reality will wash away everything. The end of the great adventure was like a straw grabbed by a drowning person – It was truly faint - …… Oh, Triton-sensei. Have you come to see [Player]? Ah…… This is that such place. How is [Player] doing? There doesn’t seem to be any problems. Their consciousness is still intact. However, will this be alright, Triton-sensei? Both of you during the social studies tour…… There is no need to worry. I will be fine. Can you let me speak to them alone for a little while? Sure, I think that would be for the best. It will get boring without someone to talk to. I will change the towel shortly. In the meantime, please look after them. …… Say, [Player]. I need to confirm one thing. While we were on a trip in Yumenoshima – We went missing for “about an hour.” Everyone including Mononobe-sensei said so…… If that truly is the case - No, it’s nothing. Forget about it. What about you? Did you keep anything important? …… A tree branch? Is it that important to you? …… Well, whatever you found, it seems that you are grasping it tightly……. Hmm. However, that branch you are holding appears to be hard to break…… Perhaps it was made by a grafter. There seems to be a scratch on that branch. …… Ah, it must be important to you. Forgive me. I will take that back. How about we put it in a vase for the time being? I will bring it with me when I come back later...... The branch sat by the window pointing at the setting sun, dropped a shadow on the floor of the dormitory. Triton said to [Player] that there is a scratch etched on the branch…… It appeared to be a character made by someone. The character engraved by someone did not seem familiar. Also, a gust of wind blew from the window. Outside the window, the pillars of light from Shinjuku Ward and Shinjuku Central Park today are shining brightly. When they turned their eyes back into their room, there was - A boy was standing there. A boy with a smile like the sun. Like in the first chapter, Kijimuna is referred to as "Boy from a Southern Country?" again here. Hello! Thank you for summoning me, Master - Eh? The boy seemed surprised that they looked over that way. It is as if the boy never expected to meet this person. Not too long later, the boy with a familiar appearance breaks a smile; a smile pointing at the other addressee. Hello! Nice to meet you, Master~! My name is - 2 options (Same Response) (Reads the engraved characters on the branch) …… Kiji……Muna. …! How did…… you? The two looked at each other…… Tears were running down the face of that boy. 2 options (Reach out for him) (Gently stroke his head) ( face) Kijimuna jumped at [Player]. Then - ( face) [Player] went over to the sobbing boy and gently caressed them. Then - The crying stopped in due course. And then, there were sounds of kind and fun laughter - GoGo!
