Hombre Tigre and a Summer Dream
Kasai Rinkai Park
|
Uoooooh, all of my fans, thank you for your support! That’s right! I’m!
Hombre Tigre!
|
On the main event of a beach wrestling tournament that was reopened, a shower of cherry
blossoms was falling above the heads of the winners.
It had to be a fierce match for sure, to the point of being able to see those fresh scars clearly
from far away.
|
Fans:
Aaaaah, Hombre Tigre! You’re the best, super estrella (super star)!!
|
|
Aether Yaksha:
Would you take a picture with me? Please make a heart with your hands, put
your arm around my shoulder please!!
|
|
Wood Baron:
C-Can you give me an autograph? Eh, no way, your face is so close...!
Aaaah, I got a huuug. OMG!!
|
| 3 options
|
| Hombre Tigre sure is popular.
|
Acting like that with other fans...!
|
...Guess I’ll talk with him on another occasion, *tsk*.
|
While Hombre Tigre was surrounded by a huge crowd and giving some fanservice, he
recognized the back of a familiar person and muttered.
Student Dormitory
A while after the incident at the “Dragon Palace”.
On a summer night, after the end of a summer part time job and volunteer activities [Player]
was invited to by their friends and seniors from the Shinjuku Academy.
The sound of a message suddenly rang in [Player]’s ears, who was dozing in a room of the
student dormitory of the Shinjuku Academy.
| 3 options
|
| A message at this hour, what could it be...? Zzz.
|
*Mumble*mumble*... Just 5 more minutes ... Zzz.
|
Hombre Tigre, uuh... Zzz.
|
Without even realizing whether it was a dream or reality, [Player] touched the screen of their
phone that looked like the water's surface.
???
A cheerful melody could be heard from outside the now white field of view. [Player] woke up,
almost as if they were lured by it.
Virtual Sea Area
|
I was waiting for you! Amiiiiiiiiiigoooo!!!
|
Hombre Tigre gallantly appeared as he jumped off the roof of the Dragon Palace while doing a
somersault.
| 2 options
|
| Eh, Hombre Tigre?
|
Ah, Hombre Tigre...
|
|
That’s right. Your super estrella, Hombre Tigre, has appeared. Yaahooo!
|
|
Yes, thanks for coming. I wanted to see you, Amigo. That’s right, this is the
Dragon Palace you know so well!
|
|
A virtual resort created by Otohime and Hephaestus together in this Tokyo.
|
|
When I heard about it, and since it has nothing to do with staying up late, I
couldn’t help but to invite you!
|
|
Aether Mermaid:
Welcome. Both of you have been recognized as guest invited to this Dragon
Palace.
|
|
Aether Mermaid:
Please tell us when you wish to leave. Well then, please enjoy yourselves in
resort that is insolated from the pass of time.
|
|
And that’s how it is, Amigo.
|
|
The flow of time here is different than outside, so there’s no reason to be
worried about tomorrow’s schedule.
|
|
There are no other fans or paparazzi, of course. So... We have to enjoy this together, right?
|
|
Welcome to Hombre Tigre’s one-man show! Today stars a special me, yours
only, *smooch*.
|
As he said that, Hombre Tigre faced [Player] and blew a passionate kiss.
| 3 options
|
| Huh, something feels different than usual.
|
Isn’t your excitement different than usual?
|
...I bet you say that to everyone.
|
|
Whoa, is that how you see me? If that’s the
case... Let’s see.
|
|
Maybe it’s because the way you are looking at
me today is different than usual.
|
|
|
Whoa, that was a nice counter. Do you want me to say, “you’re right”?
|
|
Or maybe... “I’m only yours”, would be a better response? I’ll let you chose whichever you like.
|
|
|
Now, here comes the long-awaited contact time with the fans after the
match!
|
|
No matter how intense the request may be, I’m trained, so I’ll show you that I
can respond, Amigo!
|
In the middle of calm, comfortable and peaceful space, Hombre Tigre spoke to [Player].
|
Hey, [Player]. Can I... ask you something?
|
| 2 options
|
| Very well.
|
Nope.
|
|
|
|
Oh, that’s an unfair way to put it, Amigo. It’s hard to ask if you talk like that.
|
|
|
...Even though we are having these vacations, why are we doing this?
|
Both spread out a picnic blanket on a deserted beach, and relaxed while they basked in the sun.
|
Yeah, why are we doing something like relaxing while taking a siesta on the beach?
|
|
I was thinking we could make some hot, heart-pounding summer memories.
|
|
I have no choice to display my cool side like this.
|
|
I even made a script to have fun while doing many kinds of things!
|
|
Staying still like this makes my body itch. Can we do some sports together at
the very least?
|
|
I don’t care about anything else as long as I can move my body intensely.
Hey, hey. Amigo, is that okay? I beg you.
|
| 3 options
|
| No, take a rest.
|
This is a request.
|
About that... I want to do that of course. But...
|
| 3 options
|
| You see, Hombre Tigre...
|
I appreciate the feeling, but you work your body too harsh.
|
...I want you to stop rushing.
|
With a face as if he was caught unguarded by [Player]’s words, Hombre Tigre stared at the
person right in front of him.
|
...Sorry, [Player]. You were worried about me, even though you didn’t need
to.
|
|
Ah, how could this be. I was convinced you were feeling a bit sour or
something.
|
|
Like... Watching me surrounded by the other fans and feeling jealous.
|
| 3 options
|
| That’s not it.
|
Maybe... I felt that a little.
|
I didn’t want to see you being taken away by other fans.
|
|
...Ahahaha, Is that so? Then it seems it was just a foolish misunderstanding!
|
|
|
...Ahahaha, you’re so honest, Amigo. I’m sorry, but I’m really happy, [Player]!
|
|
|
To think you were looking up to me when I was on the ring with such
feelings... Aaah!
|
|
Muchas gracias, [Player]. At least let me give you this as token of my gratitude... *Smooch*
|
|
...Hey, Amigo. Since we are having this opportunity to relax and chat, there
is a request I want to ask you. Would you answer my question?
|
|
In the past... there were two super estrellas in what would now be called a legendary battle.
|
|
Those two were rivals, they competed against each other, and shone brightly... But one of them suddenly retired and disappeared without leaving any trace behind.
|
|
I wonder what would you feel at that moment. Maybe you have an idea, right
Amigo?
|
| 2 options
|
| Sorry, I don’t know.
|
I can’t answer that question.
|
|
Hahaha, right! [Player]... you’re my amigo after all.
|
|
Sorry for such a weird question... What’s wrong? Did I make you mad again?
|
| 3 options
|
| I want to ask you something too.
|
Why did you do something like that?
|
...At that time, what were you thinking?
|
|
Ah. You’re talking about when I stepped forward instead of Tezcatlipoca-
|
|
...The lucha those tigers were fighting in back then.
|
|
...Isn’t that obvious? I... wanted to shine as a super estrella, just like that.
|
|
A super estrella is a being that shines the brightest in the world. You can’t leave any strength remaining.
|
|
Living the fullest, always looking up.
|
|
That’s why people feel moved, they can’t take their eyes off. That’s why
everyone looks up... That is a super estrella.
|
|
Hombretigre:( face)
...In the past, I was a fanboy of a certain super estrella. I always cheered for that luchador
in breathless suspense during their fights.
|
|
Hombretigre:( face)
That fanboy dreamed about... becoming one of the luchadores that stood side by side with that super estrella.
|
|
Hombretigre:( face)
That’s right, to become a super estrella that everyone would admire, a luchador that could be seen as an equal by that person, someday...
|
|
Hombretigre:( face)
For the sake of that dream, I... I thought it didn’t matter what I needed to
sacrifice.
|
| 2 options
|
| So that’s why you are always that busy.
|
Is that why you are always beaten up?
|
|
It’s because I became aware... that it isn’t strange that life would end
someday.
|
|
That’s why I look like I’m in a rush. I can’t stand the idea... of regretting the
wasted time.
|
|
Since I’m like that... I can’t spend time with you while doing something like
this, other than in this Dragon Palace where time has been cut off.
|
|
...Because of that, I keep doing nothing but make you worry.
|
| 2 options
|
| ...This is the Dragon Palace.
|
A place unrelated to the passage of time.
|
|
You’re right... Even the sun has places that it can’t reach. Right now, I can forget about my remaining life.
|
As he said that, Hombre Tigre suddenly mounted [Player].
|
I’m truly happy, [Player]. Because... you are looking at me.
|
Hombre Tigre gently caressed [Player]’s cheek as he said that.
|
Aah... That gaze, similar to that super estrella. It feels almost as if that person would be looking at me passionately.
|
|
I feel like I would go back to being a single fanboy. However... You are not that
person.
|
|
I know, you are not that person. I can’t become that person for sure.
|
|
I would never forget about my dream, and someday... I would vanish from
your sight.
|
|
That’s why, at the very least, I want to reciprocate the feelings you gave me
with mine.
|
| 3 options
|
| (Touch Hombre Tigre’s chest)
|
(Wait for Hombre Tigre’s kiss)
|
(Push Hombre Tigre down instead)
|
|
Aah, [Player]... My amigo. Please remember my heartbeat.
|
|
No matter what happens at the end... I want you to remember that I was here.
|
|
|
...I know, [Player]. If that’s is your desire, I’ll give you as many as you want.
|
|
...Thank you for always looking at me when I’m on the ring. Thanks... for being my fan, Amigo.
|
Still mounted on top of [Player], Hombre Tigre gave them a shower of kisses.
Then he guided [Player]’s hand to the place where his heart was supposed to be.
|
Aah, [Player]... My amigo. Please remember my heartbeat.
|
|
No matter what happens at the end... I want you to remember that I was here.
|
|
|
Whoa... A-Amigo?! I let my guard down!! To think a luchador would get the top position stolen from them... It’s too embarrassing.
|
|
H-Hold on a sec! P-Please, let
me go, Ami... Uhh?
|
| 2 options
|
| Don’t stop the conversation.
|
I challenge you, Hombre Tigre.
|
| 3 options
|
| I’m gonna make you say you don’t want to die.
|
I’m gonna make you say that you fell in love with me.
|
Brace yourself, Hombre Tigre!
|
|
I see... You’re saying that you
challenge me to a fight, right?
|
|
You’re telling me that you have acknowledged me as your opponent... With a look in your eyes similar to that person.
|
|
Fine, my amigo and nemesis! Show me if you can restrain my feelings!
|
|
I’ll show you that I’m always ready for that kind of challenge!
...Ha...Hahahahaha!!
|
Hombre Tigre laughed. He laughed with
the face of carnivorous beast...and like a
child.
|
...That’s what I love so much
about you, Amigo...!
|
|
The time they spent together at the Dragon Palace became the memory of a summer, melting in a mirage.
