A Nupurupe Date with Kimun Kamui
Collided Kamuy Kotan
A while after the end of the “Hot Spring Scout Jamboree”. [Player] was called by Kimun Kamui, inviting them to the mountain that was once the meeting spot.
|
Welcome, [Player]... I apologize for being so pushy and making you come
here.
|
| 3 options
|
| No, it’s okay.
|
When I realized, the scenery changed...
|
This place, could it be...?
|
|
Yes, that is correct. We are in the place you “collided” Kamuy Kotan, where
the spring has arrived.
|
|
I realized that there still may be some things we left undone here, things we
feel regret about...
|
|
I am ashamed of myself, but that is the reason why I called you.
|
| 2 options
|
| “We”?
|
Huh, isn’t this “collision of worlds”...?
|
|
Yes, to be honest...
Mmm, wait!
“My other self”, I have not finished yet—
|
|
Uwahahahaha, as if I’d wait! I’ll tear it off right now!
|
| 3 options
|
| Eeeeh, what’s going on?!
|
Wen Kamui appeared!
|
I knew something like this would happen.
|
|
Now, prepare yourself, little hero! Yaaaaahh!!
|
Wen Kamui lifted [Player], running vigorously to somewhere, and then—
| 2 options
|
| Uhh, what was that for?!
|
Is this... a hot spring?
|
|
Hahahaha, I finally did it! I couldn’t tear your clothes off after all, right?
|
Wen Kamui laughed as he said that, looking satisfied of taking [Player]’s clothes off, such as
their shoes.
|
Honestly, I really wanted to tear off your growth too, but some reason, it
gives me a bad feeling.
|
|
...Now then, guess it’s time to change places with him. My role is simply
“peeling off” after all.
|
|
Oi, come here, Kimun Kamui! You can do whatever you want now.
|
|
...Sorry. It seems my other self treated you roughly.
|
|
Are you hurt? He just tore off your clothes? ...Ah, thank goodness.
|
| 2 options
|
| Both of you are exist there?
|
You just ended up exchanging places?
|
|
...Yes. Right now, I am sharing memories with Wen Kamui, who exist within
me.
|
| 2 options
|
| Two souls in one body?
|
I wonder what that feels like.
|
|
...Is it really correct to say we are “two people”? Our “role” is the same after
all.
|
|
Back then, when we became one once again—
|
|
We accepted that we together form one being, under the same “role” and
“rule”.
|
|
Perhaps that is why I can feel Wen Kamui’s existence within me, unlike
before.
|
|
Me and him wish to “peel off”. However, I want to do it to myself, he wants to do it to other people except himself.
|
|
Okay, now it is my turn. [Player], would you please peel off my clothes?
|
|
This is something like a ritual. To expose our hearts.
|
|
I want to lose everything that can be worn and talk with you.
|
| 2 options
|
| (Take Kimun Kamui’s foot armor off)
|
(Take Kimun Kamui’s pelt off)
|
|
...Yes. Certainly, the shell of my heart has been ripped off here.
|
|
I swear here that we will connect our hearts earnestly... Now then.
|
|
First... Allow me to express my gratitude for helping me out in this Jamboree.
|
|
By being an instructor, it was me who has had the chance to learn a lot
and be able to “grow”.
|
|
Once again... Thank you, [Player]. I, Kimun Kamui, am truly grateful from the
bottom of my heart.
|
| 3 options
|
| No, no. You’re welcome.
|
Guess it’s time to collect my reward.
|
It was possible because the others were there too.
|
|
|
|
Yes, of course. As long as it is something I can offer, you can ask so.
|
|
I, Kimun Kamui, swear by my charity that I will give you anything.
|
|
|
Ooh... What modesty. What pure charity.
|
|
As I thought, you are not different from my little hero, the one I must give charity to...!
|
|
Kimun Kamui suddenly approached, staring fixedly at [Player]’s face
|
Still... By taking a close look, that stance, and the expression that appear in your face sometimes... One would not think you are a different person.
|
|
...[Player]. Are you really not from Kamuy Kotan?
|
|
In my hometown, there was one hero. A young child called “human-like Kamuy” (Ainurakkuru).
|
|
The name of a little hero, who received the love of many Kamuy, and eventually departed on a journey to fight.
|
|
[Player], I cannot help... but to think how you resemble that young hero.
|
|
Just by being looked by those eyes, it makes my chest overflow with love and nostalgia.
|
| 3 options
|
| Ainurakkuru... A little hero?
|
Do I really look like that child?
|
It’s not like I’m that young, you know?!
|
|
The youth we, the Kamuy, speak about has nothing to do with the immaturity of the growth of the blood and flesh.
|
|
“In a way”, it is the innocence of lacking “memories” of the past. That is how
“young” is defined in Kamuy Kotan.
|
|
[Player], you do not have “memories” of the past before now, correct?
|
| 2 options
|
| ...That’s right.
|
Certainly, I don’t have memories before coming to Tokyo.
|
|
In that case, in accordance to Kamuy Kotan’s belief, there is no problem in calling you young.
|
| 3 options
|
| Hmm, I see.
|
It’s a matter of cultural differences, right? Okay.
|
... My mind may be filled with wicked thoughts though.
|
|
|
|
Really? Hmm, I do not think so...
|
|
By the way, you kept looking at my other clothes, the ones I used to wear back when I was in Kamuy Kotan, with a strange passion, did you not?
|
|
Yes, that’s right, those eyes.
Hmm, does this outfit attract your attention that much...?
|
|
I still do not comprehend the human culture. I want you to teach me many things...
|
|
...Are you okay? Your nose is bleeding. And you are drooling. Is something wrong...??
|
|
|
...[Player]. You see, there is one selfish request I want to ask you.
|
| 2 options
|
| You have a request?
|
How rare, what could it be?
|
|
Until now... I have done nothing but to think about giving things to the children of man.
|
|
But thanks to this Jamboree, I have started to think about taking care of myself.
|
|
Wishing things for myself, and how I need some time in order to make them come true.
|
| 2 options
|
| Hmm, I see.
|
Oh, nice!
|
|
Yes, and I have been thinking for three days and three night. What do I want to do? And... I understood.
|
Kimun Kamui kept taking many bath products from the bathtub he borrowed from the Crafters.
|
I... want the children of man to ask me for something! I understood that what I wanted was, to give anything!!
|
| 3 options
|
| ...Eh?
|
Y-You haven’t changed at all!
|
Is he waiting for a response or something...?
|
|
So... [Player], it may be presumptuous to call it a reward for the Jamboree, but—
|
|
I want you to tell me your wish. And... Allow me to make your wish come true.
|
As he said that, Kimun Kamui waited quietly for [Player]’s answer.
After what felt like a long time for Kimun Kamui, [Player] spoke.
| 3 options
|
| I want to be friends with you, Kimun Kamui.
|
I want you to love me, Kimun Kamui.
|
I want you to do whatever you want.
|
|
...Hah, hahahaha. I give up. If that is the case... aren’t we just running in circles?
|
|
Your wishes are my wishes... Ah, I see. So that is how it is, that is what I was yearning for...
|
|
...Very well, brace yourself, [Player]. You will accompany me—
|
|
with my style, Kamuy Kotan’s style, and my selfish wish to the very end!
|
The two enjoyed themselves to the fullest in the country of snow where the spring has arrived.
Eventually, the sun began to set in the spring Kamuy Kotan.
|
Aahh... What a wonderful day. A day for myself that I was yearning for...!
|
| 3 options
|
| You just took care of me the whole day, is that even okay?
|
H-He spoiled me to the core...!
|
I think I’ll become a useless person.
|
[Player] declared so after being spoiled with great attention to everything, even the way their
body was washed.
|
Yes, this is precisely what I was yearning for, my long-standing wish.
|
|
That’s right. Listen [Player]! The other Kamuy are so unfair.
|
|
I wanted to spoil my heroes even more, but the other Kamuy let me no space...
|
|
I wanted to wake them up in the morning, feeding them, praising when they were crawling or when they stood up for the first time!
|
|
But my rival, the wolf Kamuy, was quicker. I could hardly win against him... Ugh...
|
| 3 options
|
| The whole world spoiled me!
|
Is Kamuy Kotan a group of overprotectors...?
|
I want you to spoil me tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
Me... spoiling you? If that is what you want... Hmm??
|
|
But still, what am I supposed to do? ...Doing whatever you want me to do?
|
|
Yes. In that case, it would be okay to spoil you like a baby that knows nothing, right?
|
|
|
...Now then, let us pick a place to sleep. Left or right, you can choose whichever side you prefer.
|
| 2 options
|
| In that case, I want the right side!
|
Hmm, left side maybe?
|
|
Got it. Then I will sleep on the
left side.
|
|
|
...Hm, wait. On second thought, can you let me sleep on the left side?
|
|
I apologize for asking. It seems the left side suits me better.
|
As he said that, Kimun Kamui quickly put his sleeping bag on the rugged left side.
|
|
Ah, I am really looking forward to spending the day with you once again tomorrow, just the two of us.
|
|
Well, I guess it is the time to sleep. I will turn off the lights.
|
| 2 options
|
| Good night, Kimun Kamui.
|
Yes, Papa.
|
|
|
|
P-Papa...? W-What is this strange feeling in my chest?
|
|
C-Can you say it one more time?
Just one more time, please, [Player]...!
|
|
|
...[Player], my little hero. Are you still awake...?
|
| 3 options
|
| ...Zzz.
|
Can I... stay by your side?
|
Is Wen Kamui awake?
|
|
...They fell asleep, huh. Fufu, what a cute sleeping face, just like a baby.
|
|
Now... [Player], stay warm in my chest as much as you want.
|
|
...Rest well. Kamuy Kotan’s—my hero... Zzz.
|
Eventually, their consciousness faded, falling into a deep and warm slumber.
|
|
Oh, is something wrong? Do you want to be spoiled a bit more? Here, here... [Player]?
|
As he said that, [Player] slowly approached to Kimun Kamui’s face, who was patting them on the head. And then—
[Player]’s lips met Kimun Kamui’s, hugging him, almost as if they dove into his chest.
|
W-What’s wrong, my little hero? You... keep doing those strange things.
|
|
C-Come on, you must go to sleep to cool down your body. Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye...
|
Contrary to his words, the sound of Kimun Kamui’s heart kept getting stronger and louder.
A warmth different from charity... was certainly burning in Kimun Kamui’s chest.
Kimun Kamui called [Player]’s name once more. There was a bewildered and sweet echo concealed in his words.
And this time, it was his trembling lips that met [Player]’s first.
|
|
...Heh. To think the hero would call me.
|
|
What? Were you expecting me to come with a lullaby just because you called me?
|
|
Or maybe, don’t tell me it’s something cute like you being unable to sleep because your heart was beating fast?
|
Wen Kamui mounted [Player], pulling them towards himself with his huge arms.
|
...You’ve got quite the nerve. Lemme praise that heroic recklessness of yours.
|
|
You had plenty of fun with my other self during the day, right? In that case... It’s my turn at night.
|
|
Unlike him, I won’t treat you like a brat. I’ll treat you as an adult, and then—
|
|
I’m gonna make you cry so loudly it would be like you went back to being a little brat...!
|
|
The spring wind blew, and the cry of the insects could be heard outside. The night continued, in a world where only the two existed.
