While saying that, Garmr promptly leaps over a wall about 5 meters tall.

GARMR:
Why master, not come?
It easy! Just jump like bunny! Like bunny!
GARMR:
Eh, you can't?
Master, same as Cusith?
GARMR:
Cusith can't jump either.
Hehe, when it comes to guard dogs, Garmr much better!
2 options (same response):
>Garmr, no!
>You shouldn't say that about your friends.
GARMR:
...!!
GARMR:
Master, say the same thing as everyone else!
Garmr, only say the truth!
GARMR:
But everyone, always go to Cusith.
To Garmr.....nobody, ever come.
GARMR:
Master, like that too!?
I...don't want to be hated by master!
MALE:
He's here, in this alleyway!
Suddenly, voices are heard from behind, at the entrance to the alley.
BEASTMAN:
I finally found you!
You damn guard dog!
GARMR:
Guard dog? Yep, Garmr, guard dog!
Good job knowing! Good boy, good boy!
BEASTMAN:
Are you making fun of me, you bastard!
I finally remembered your ugly mug!
BEASTMAN:
You're the Ikebukuro's underground fighting club's pet dog!
It looks like you've been taking care of my underlings!
GARMR:
Kunkun.
This smell, Garmr knows!
GARMR:
Always trying to get in, then Garmr, get beat up by! The same smell as that!
GARMR:
But Garmr, is guard dog there!
Was told, don't let anybody weak in.
BEASTMAN:
....Yeah, that's right.
That's the reason. You're the stronger one.
BEASTMAN:
But you know, being beaten black and blue by you!
The butterflies in our stomach won't calm down!
BEASTMAN:
So sorry, but all of us are going to pay you back.
This time, we'll beat you to a pulp!
GARMR:
Hmmm. But Garmr, together with master.
Have important thing to do. Do later, okay?
BEASTMAN:
Of course it's not okay!!
Your partner there is as bad as you! We'll beat down both of you-
After saying that,
the troublemakers noticed the atmosphere suddenly changed.
GARMR:
You, attack master?
That, never, allow! Won't allow!!
GARMR:
Anyone who attack master, is enemy!
Everyone, everyone, I kill!
1 option:
>Garmr, stop.
GARMR;
Why master stop?
Does master....hate Garmr!?
GARMR:
No, it okay if hated!
But Garmr, want to protect master!
Wiping away the tears, (player) pets Garmr's head.
Two options: (same response)

GARMR:

GARMR:
But master, not let me.
What Garmr, supposed to do.....
1 option:
>Garmr, kneel.
GARMR:
Gau!
Hearing those words, Garmr instinctively bends over.
GARMR:
Master!? If do this, Garmr can't fight!
What Garmr supposed to do!?
1 choice:
>Weren't you going to take me somewhere?
With those words, Garmr understands what he needs to do.
GARMR:
....Ah, okay. Garmr, understands.
Garmr'r goal, right now, is not to defeat them.
GARMR:
Master, get on Garmr's back!
This way, Garmr, will carry you!
Once (player) is on Garm's back, Garmr leaps over the wall with a jump.
BEASTMAN:
Hey, wait a minute!
Are you running from me, you damned dog!
GARMR:
Garmr, has something important to do!
Will fight, some other time! See you later---!
BEASTMAN:
Don't let him ge-
Without hearing the rest of his sentence, while riding on Garmr's back, you take off flying.
GARMR:
Master, we arrive!
This Garmr's special place!
GARMR:
This is where wanted to take master!
GARMR:
Garmr, like this place.
Found, when come to Ikebukuro.
GARMR:
Wind feels good. Wide park. Cool water.
Nobody yell if roll around.
GARMR:
But, we missed prettiest time.
It prettiest, when sky is blue.
GARMR:
Strange. Very, strange.
Came straight here...but sun, go down.
GARMR:
Took lots of time. People got in way.
But came straight here. Very, strange.
One choice:
>The shortest route isn't always the fastest.
GARMR:
.....Yes, Garmr, understand.
Straight, is not always the best way.
GARMR:
So, here, master!
GARMR:
This, chain.
The chain, that's on me.
GARMR:
When Garmr, try to do something wrong.
This chain, you pull on!
GARMR:
Then, Garmr, not do wrong.
Master, will tell what to do.
GARMR:
This way, I relax.
This way, master relax.
GARMR:
Master not get mad because hate.
Master got mad to help Garmr.
GARMR:
Sky, not at the prettiest.
But Garmr, want to play! Play with master!
GARMR:
What do, what do!?
Garmr, brought lots of things!
GARMR:
Frisbee, boomerang, jump-rope....
And, Garmr's favorite bone---!
In high spirits, Garmr takes out various things from his bag.
Guuuuu~
Garmr's stomach rumbles.
GARMR:
Eheheheh---.
Garmr, hungry!
GARMR:
Uh.....
Ah, here! Master!
Garmr takes out something wrapped in a leaf like a bag, and hands it to (player).
GARMR:
Garmr, made lunch!
Riceball! Taught how, by Moritaka!
Inside the bag, is a perfectly shaped riceball, and a giant but misshapen riceball, lined up together.
GARMR:
This round one, Moritaka made!
This big one, Garmr made!
GARMR:
Eat, eat--!
It definitely good! It good!
GARMR:
How? How is it?
Garmr's special riceball! It tasty?
2 choices: (same response)
>It's very delicious.
>It's very big.
GARMR:
Hehehehehehe.
Then, Garmr eat, too!
GARMR:
Let's dig in!
You eat lunch, and run around without a care.
Tired, Garmr and (player) stretch out on the open field and lie down together.
GARMR:
......Mas...ter....
Garmr, who both wanted to sleep and yet didn't want to,
was trying his best to keep his eyes open.
To forget his sleepiness,
Garmr starts talking.
GARMR:
When Garmr, finds a new master.
First, teach favorite place.
GARMR:
Garmr want master, to like favorite place. Because want to bring master too.
GARMR:
There, will become special memory, of Garmr and master.
GARMR:
---that, is what master Hel-sama told Garmr.
Garmr's, very first master.
GARMR:
When mad, very scary. But, always nice.
But still, mad when scary.
GARMR:
Come to this world, and all alone--
Then Garmr, together with many masters.
GARMR:
Memories of those times, on chain.
Dog tags? They're called.
GARMR:
This one, 6 ago, a master with glasses.
4 ago, a red woman. 2 ago, a weak old lady.
GARMR:
All of them, don't know why, but disappear before Garmr.
Very, very lonely.
GARMR:
But now, not lonely.
Right now, together with new master.
GARMR:
That's why....together.....
Garmr's words turn into snores, as his wagging tail comes to a stop.
On top of (players) lap, Garmr drifts off to the world of dreams.
-Night-
GARMR:
....Uuuugh.
Garmr, fell asleep. Want to play more....
GARMR:
Master! Your next break, when!?
Garmr, play again---!
GARMR:
Ah, but, Garmr have upcoming test.
Study, must.
GARMR:
If test bad, Snow gets annoying.
When done....will master play again?
3 choices: (same response for all 3)
>Of course.
>I'll be waiting.
>Do your best on the test.
GARMR:
Eheheheh.
Thank you, master!
GARMR:
Then, see you later!
Byebye! BYE-BYEEEE!
Waving wildly with both his hands,
Garmr, who wants you to stay, sees you off---
and (player) heads back home.
