Event Quest:Golden Week:Asterios

Location: Shinjuku?

There was a huge commotion in town,
however, the whereabouts of this world were indifferent for this man.

From deep within a mountain,
this bull beastman from the “Underworld” lived his life quietly.

He finished this morning’s work in the fields, and was taking a quick rest.
A crow cawed, as he brewed tea with leaves that he harvested by himself.

He put some baked sweets on the table,
that he made yesterday evening.

Far away from the town’s hustle, there could be
nothing that could disturb his peacefulness.

He spent this holiday like this.
Without any disturbation.

Before long, the big commotion in town came to an end.
This was his third cup of black tea of the day…

… at that time, a sharp noise
broke apart his peace of mind.

...

When he looked towards where the noise came from,
a young man was laying on the ground.

Apparently he was trying to climb a tree, but he failed.
As soon as he stood up, he tried climbing it again.

This time he succeeded, and made a pose standing on the tree branches,
as he took out a microphone and a radio player.

… It took several tries
for the mike to stop making a shrieking noise.

Waaahahahahahaha!!

This mountain’s forest, and Asterios' peace of mind,
was quickly disturbed by that loud laugh.

You kept me waiting, Asterios! I’m the hero of justice, Tauruuuuus Mask!

I’m fulfilling my dreams and hopes as a pro wrestler! And I’m taking a look from up he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e…!

… You will fall down.

Heroes are immortal!!

Hey, be careful!

Awawawawa… My neck, my neck, it hurts. Waaa…

Everytime, everytime… Why do you do that…? Jumping on tree branches… Of course you were going to fall down.

Asterios reluctantly rubbed medicinal herbs on
Taurus’ painful neck and waist.

It’s always been like that! Heroes always take the high ground! It’s common sense!

What are you talking about, I don’t understand you. Now, go home.

… Huh? Did you come to ask me the same thing today?

Yes! I beg you Asterios~! That’s right! Why don’t you come with me?

You and me, I can feel it! I can feel our burning souls linked to each other!

That’s destiny, Tag Brother! Your horns and my horns, we were made for each other!

…W-well, I can’t understand you. Also, your horns are probably fake.

Hah, as I expected from the real deal, I can’t fool you! However! Even then, our souls are burning to the max!

I don’t understand what any of that means. Go home.

Now, those are some fine horns… Haah~, I wonder what could those horns skewer…

Do not touch them. Do not rub them. Do not stroke them. They are very dangerous.

Those thick, hard and big horns! My intuition as a wrestler tells me so!

Asterios! You are the one! You are a talented man that could become a su-per-star~!

I-I think the fall messed up your head. Go home.

If us both could organize a team…! Don’t you think that we would rise to the highest level?

Oh, I don’t think so. You see, you are very lively… I’m no good at it.

Look! There’s no way you can now know that, Brother! I will help you on the way, I promise you!

A 3 vs 3 match! The exchange of powerful techniques! Flying folding chairs! The sound of the gong! Blood burning from the excitement!

It’s perfeeeeect…! I’m going crazy just thinking about it!

You can do all of that by yourself. Go home.

That’s right! Signs! I didn’t consider having a sign! Do you have a good idea, partner?

Hey, who are you calling a partner?! Don’t decide that on your own!

A sign, you say? … Speaking of that, didn’t you see the “Get out” sign right over there?

Ah! Before any of that, I have to think of my partner’s ring name!

Sorry sorry! It’s my first time here. That was careless of me for not noticing it.

…

Asterios stayed silent with wrath and anger filling his eyes,
he glared at Taurus and proceeded to take out a smartphone from his pocket.

Oh, are you more motivated already?

It’s a shame that there’s no audience here… Back in the day, you and I could have…

H-hello, is this a police officer? Yes, a green mask wearing man came to my house and…

Waah, don’t report meeeeee!!! No! No Mr. police officer!

This is just a mistake, please forgive me!

I’m already fed up with you!

I was living peacefully in the undergroung maze of the Ikebukuro guild.

But you broke through the labyrinth so I had to shut myself up into my room.

I ran away from Ikebukuro to this mountain, but you still follow me!

I just want to live alone and in peace. Why are you so insistent on making me go with you?!

Ah come on, I thought it was obvious! Asterios is the strongest and coolest!

At least I think you are the strongest, Asterios, that’s why I need you in particular!

- - - - - .

… That fall definetely messed up your head.

Oh, why are you like that, Asterios!

Why? Why isn’t this hot feeling being conveyed… Uuu-, why…

… Hah. All I do is tea and confectionery, that doesn’t sound very wrestler-like. Right?

Ahh, Asterios~! I don’t care what you like to do!

You feel embarrassed, don’t you? Don’t you? You don’t want people to find out!

Ahh, that honesty~ You are such a tsundere!

…

Uh, sorry, that was rude of me…

So you have a hot pro wrestler soul burning inside you after all, you just need a small push! Haha~.

Alright! Once you make up your mind, just tell me! We will hold an emergency press conference!

...?!

Right right, we have to decide on the costumes too.

Us three could go all green, or maybe every one of us could wear a different color.

…

Ah, both options sound so cool that you can’t decide, right? That’s why you are an amazing partner!

I’m so happy to have you by my side, if-

… home.

Hm?

You, it’s time for you to finally go hoooome!

Asterios:(4star_icon face) Bu-mooooooo-!!!!

Ahh… I-I did it again… T-the wall of m-my cabin…, and the snacks I made the other day…

Those were for the festivities…

I-I just want to live a quiet life…

Well, there is life on every mountain and valley. Everywhere you go, you will end up finding others. Am I right?

Haha, that’s just how life is… Don’t you think? Do you want my help to fix the cabin’s wall or-

Asterios:(4star_icon face) I saaaaaid!! Goooo hoooooomeeeee!!!

Dowagyaaaaaaaaaa?!

Taurus Mask’s screams echoed across the mountain.

Asterios’ solitary life…
He will probably not come back to visit, for the time being.

But at the end of the day, things like these
are what makes Asterios smile, even if just a little.

…Taurus Mask too,
neither of them knew why.

Me being cool, what a silly guy. No one’s said that to me before.

I’m such an ugly monster… He truly is a crazy guy, huh.

Asterios’ GW
