[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.

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.

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.
