The setting sun shines on Kabukicho, Shinjuku. Signs of bustling activity was showing on the final day of the festival.


Pushing their way through the heavy crowd, [Player] raised their voice to the large back standing at the entrance.

I've been looking for you, Tadikarao. You weren't there at the festival. ...... Hey, Tadikarao?


Tadikarao expression c shocked.png

Oh...! It must be you, Instructor-dono!


2 options (Same Response)
Thanks for your hard work. Instructor-dono?


Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

Ah, you are my summoner, [Player]-dono.

Tadikarao expression c cheerful.png

If I am to serve you while holding as position as a student,
please allow me to call you Instructor-dono!

Tadikarao expression c smile.png

Lost items or looking for someone;
if there are any problems, please don't hesitate to consult us!

You're quite serious about your work, aren't ya? You're like a different person when you're not in your festival attire.


Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

Hah! It is my duty after all! It's natural!


2 options
That uniform suits you quite well. That festival guise fits you too......
Tadikarao expression c blush.png

Gh......! Giving me words of praise-
No, I must stick to my duties!

Tadikarao expression c sad.png

Hah! To be honest, that was-


Tadikarao expression c sad.png

...... At this event, due to their immaturity and misconduct,
we have caused a lot of trouble for the citizens.

Tadikarao expression c serious.png

I was prepared to withdraw myself as a matter of course.
Instructor Hogen has told me this-

Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

"This ocassion is something to learn from to further your duties
as a public servant."

Tadikarao expression c sad.png

...... Although, the chaos that was caused cannot be ignored.

Tadikarao expression c serious.png

To take responsibility for it, I have decided to rotate jobs as a written apology.

Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

As "punishment" for myself,
I will be in charge of guarding the outer parts of Kabukicho during the festival.

Tadikarao expression c sad.png

It's justified of course.
We will need to rebuild the trust that the police force has lost.


It appears that he deeply loves festivals. Behind those glasses appeared to be slightly teary eyes.

...... Hey, Tadikarao. Are you free after work?


Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

Instructor-dono?
N-No, I certainly don't have any plans......


3 options (Same Response)
Let's do something for a bit. Want to spend some time at the festival? Go out with me.


Tadikarao expression c surprised.png

...!! W-What!? I appreciate your offer, but I-


2 options (Same Response)
I really want to spend time with you after work. Is it personal liberty?


Tadikarao expression c sad.png

But, I am required to attend my duties until the end of the festival.

Tadikarao expression c neutral.png

It was described on the arrangement table provided by Instructor Hogen
for the final day today.

Tadikarao expression c surprised.png

...... For the final day today, I will be done with my duties in 10 minutes?!


Tadikarao stared at the arrangement table with intense concentration.


Tadikarao expression c surprised.png

How...?!

Tadikarao expression c surprised.png

A-Anyhow, I am still on duty.

Tadikarao expression c blush.png

We will not do such private matters after I finish work!
There will be no more business to discuss here, so I will be going now!


That said, Tadikarao gave a clean salute, and went back to policing with his arms behind his back.


...... About 20 minutes later. waiting at the entrance of Kabukicho is-


Tadikarao expression surprised.png

W-W-Waaaah......?! Instructor-dono! Instructor-dono......?!

Tadikarao expression sad.png

...... So you have not gone home then. Haah, I suppose that's natural......


3 options (Same Response)
You're here! I'm glad you came back. Well, you already kept me waiting.


Tadikarao expression surprised.png

Huuuh, Instructor-dono!?

Tadikarao expression sad.png

I said coldhearted things to you earlier,
yet you still waited for me......!

Tadikarao expression cheerful.png

I am unworthy! I am completely clocked out!


3 options
You're quite enthusiastic......! You hate that happi coat?! That guise does suit you.
Tadikarao expression serious.png

Err, yes that is correct!
If I were to enjoy the festival, wearing the appropriate garments is crucial!

Tadikarao expression shocked.png

Ack, I apologize for making you worry!
It is true that the school's name was put here......

Tadikarao expression cheerful.png

But, I have received permission from the school!
There is nothing to fear, hahaha!

Tadikarao expression cheerful.png

Haha, thank you very much!
This appearance is what I am most comfortable with!


Tadikarao expression smile.png

It will be time for the last mikoshi and Bon Festival dance.
Alright, let us depart! Onwards!!

Tadikarao expression cheerful.png

This Tadikarao will show Instructor-dono on how to enjoy these amazing festivals!

Tadikarao expression b cheerful.png

Haha, festivals are still the best!
This feeling of freedom is truly irresistable!


The last mikoshi came to an end. Tadikarao, who is dripping with sweat, smiled very happily.

Tadikarao and [Player] soon dropped in at the food stands and enjoyed the festival before it ended.


Tadikarao expression b smile.png

However, the correct interpretation was that I am wearing a happi coat of the police academy.
Thanks to that, it has helped with the gazes surrounding us.

Tadikarao expression b cheerful.png

I won't be able to go around to as many places without it! Hahaha.


3 options (Same Response)
You're going all out. That's quite the transformation...... I prefer this about you, Tadikarao.


Tadikarao expression b sad.png

...... Instructor-dono. Since we're alone now, I would like to apologize once more.

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

About this matter...... I hope you can forgive me.
...... That is all I would like to say!

Tadikarao expression b neutral.png

Being suspicious of another person's character,
being challenged to a bout, getting involved in a dangerous situation and above all-

Tadikarao expression b serious.png

I tried to explain everything to you, Instructor-dono.

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

I...... This is how it was in the past.
I didn't want to be inconsiderate and go that far.

Tadikarao expression b neutral.png

That is, you should favor your own partner......
It's important as long you think of them as special-

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

I want you to forgive me for everything.
I wanted to confess everything to my partner.

Tadikarao expression b neutral.png

-And so, I revealed everything.
I ruined something important that I wanted to protect.

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

So, this time for sure. This time in this Tokyo-


2 options (Same Response)
Yeah, I believe in you. Do you believe, Tadikarao?


Tadikarao expression b surprised.png

.......!

Tadikarao expression b cheerful.png

Yes... Yes.

Tadikarao expression b surprised.png

Hey, be sure to check your surroundings, Instructor!


As more and more people came, they sometimes lose sight of each other.


Tadikarao expression b surprised.png

Ough...... It's a good thing that there's a bustling activity here.
There won't be anything peculiar with this.

Tadikarao expression b smile.png

[Player]-dono, I am here to protect you.
Please be sure not to stray far away from me again.

(Hold Tadikarao's hand) (Lock arms with Tadikarao)


Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

Uh!! [Player]-dono!?

Tadikarao expression b blush.png

Err...... T-That's......! What are you......?!

Tadikarao expression b blush.png

H-Holding hands with me; you are not against it?

Tadikarao expression b blush.png

No, you should already know of what my "Rule" is.
You should avoid touching my hands like this.


3 options
Don't you want me to stick by you? You don't want to? I don't care about that.
Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

Ah...... I-Is that so! I'm sure we won't lose sight of each other then!

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

You are quite in a hurry. Hah...... Haha...... Hah.

Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

N-No!! T-There's nothing strange about that!

Tadikarao expression b blush.png

Rather, that makes me very happy......
It just makes my heart skip a beat.

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

... Ah, N-No! There is nothing deep about that, really!

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

...... Instructor-dono......
So, that is how you feel towards me.

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

Won't the others treat us as such? That is, they might not like it.

Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

O-Oh what am I saying?


Tadikarao expression b sad.png

...... When I am with you, Instructor-dono,
you will realize my own shallowness and greed.

Tadikarao expression b neutral.png

...... When I first met you, Instructor-dono,
do you remember the words I said?

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

A precious younger brother within my memories-
He resembles a hooligan.

Tadikarao expression b smile.png

Still, those actions afterwards-
Instructor-dono, you know that you shouldn't resort to unnecessary violence.

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

To put it bluntly, my own preconceived notions were shameful.
I couldn't do anything about it!

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

I...... I......!

(Tightly hold his hand) Don't you want to have fun in the festival this time? Don't you worry about a thing.


Tadikarao expression b blush.png

Hah...... Yes!!


The banquet came to an end after the festival. Two people were taking refuge at the back of a Shinto shrine from the storm.


Tadikarao expression b smile.png

...... Let's hope this situation will improve soon.
If we wait a while, we should make it in time for curfew.

Tadikarao expression b sad.png

The happy moments changed in an instant.
This brisk, lonesome air is tightening my chest.


While being slightly embarrassed, Tadikarao was delighted without trying to hide it.


Tadikarao expression b sad.png

...... The festival comes to an end.
Yet, it feels rather lonely......


As they can see, Tadikarao was fidgeting and peering over to [Player]'s profile. Note: (Profile is the face seen from the side.)


Tadikarao expression b blush.png

......!


[Player] stared at his face; Tadikarao went into a panic after their eyes met.


Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

D-Don't look at me with those eyes!

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

I hid these feelings inside the depths of my heart.
If you caught a glimpse, I would be too ashamed to live......!

Tadikarao expression b shocked.png

O-Oh, you've already realized my true feelings.
I suppose it was pointless in trying to hide it......

Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

I knew of it through reason. From now on, I will engrave it in my heart......!


Tadikarao looked up into the sky to calm down, curling his lips.


Even in this neon, nightless city, the stars twinkled brightly in the skies.


Tadikarao expression b neutral.png

...... Instructor-dono, no, [Player]-dono.

Tadikarao expression b blush.png

...... Next year, no, most definitely next year.
I would like to attend another festival with you......!


Tadikarao has been grasping [Player]'s hand all this time from the crowd of the festival.


Tadikarao expression b embarrassed.png

T-There is one thing I would like to tell you.
That is...... I hope you can forgive me......!


From that trembling hand, there was a faint force felt. It was not harmful, but rather a gentle grasp.


Tadikarao looked up at the sky and made a prayer. That is, he continued on for a bit longer-
