Event Quest:Sweet Time with:Surtr

[Translation by Kukuru]

Location: Sweets Road

---

Now, put your heart into it! Whip the raw cream! *Hut, hut*!

It isn't mixing as easily. It's like cutting through the front lines on the battlefield.

Instead of stirring... You must destroy the butterfat. Yes, whipping is finding destruction!

3 options (Same Response)
Go, go, go!	Daaaaamn, those muscles!	Is this a workout...?!

Now, the finishing touches. Mix and mix... then pose!

Surtr strikes a pose to show off his muscular body.

3 options (Same Response)
Nice pose!	Is that bit really necessary?	Such refined biceps!

Of course. The Muspell Giant Cake cannot be made without it.

For a Giant of Muspell, everything is nothing but training for the battle of twilight.

Praise and assure the fruits of one's training together! Aim for newer heights higher than the treetops of Yggdrasil!

Cake making is a battle, the kitchen is a battlefield. Remember to cut it with a blade and cook with the flames.

The battle will be decided before it commences. Yes, if the process is in-order, I will take control of this battle!

You humans simply refer to that as using tactics. Cooking skills are the same, they are no different.

Let us continue, [Player], You will be taught everything about the Muspell Giant Cake from Surtr.

An unusual level of flames burst out of the oven that Surtr just opened.

Now, next is an increasing treatment of fire. If you make a mistake in a step, be warned that you will become partially charcoal.

I'm going to die!?	This kind of cake making is a death trap...

Now, let's begin, [Player]. Risk your life and conquer the battlefield!

[Some time later...]

Hah... Hah...! You're... doing a fine job.

Such a masterpiece of a Muspell Giant Cake. You succeeded in everything...!

2 options
Perfecto!	It's thanks to you, Surtr.
	No, you should be proud of your hard work. Surtr is also delighted about that.

....................

2 options (Same Response)
Surtr?	Is something bothering you?

Oh...... I was thinking about the children of my flames, the Muspell.

We Fire Giants are to burn the old world, and entrust mankind with the new world.

On the other hand I... I do not want to leave behind the children of Muspell.

2 options (Same Response)
You don't want to leave anyone behind?	Why's that...?

Surtr:( face) We Fire Giants multiply by spreading fire, a fundamental unlike none other for human children to thrive.

Surtr:( face) Our essence is "fire," our affection. For them to thrive, we burn for them.

Surtr:( face) As they prosper and spread out in the world, as the world burns... We Fire Giants all disappear.

Surtr:( face) Although we will prosper temporarily, we will perish together with the old world that will soon be burned down as it is the role of our species.

However, human child, I have now passed down one thing of our legacy to you.

It may be like a dream where I will explode and disappear one day, despite that, I do not have the desire to lock away this happiness -

There is no reason for me to feign this happiness.

3 options (Same Response)
It might not be a dream.	No place in the world needs to burn up.	It will never happen anywhere, not even here.

...... Is that what you truly think? Interesting...

I am surprised by the social etiquette of this Tokyo however. Perhaps, there too is a world similar to this one, but where...?

... No, I will carry out the role of a father for now. This burnt caramel cake is very fragrant.

Go on... [Player], my beloved child. Do not worry about this father, go to the place where you must go.

You are aware that today is a special today. It is the day where human children give their love, and return the favor.

The human children's way of exchanging their affection is different to that of Fire Giants. It is also their prosperity in this new world.

For us, we pray that you will be united by the love that you desire, even if the current state of things makes it impossible.

Give this cake to someone and show your affection. Don't worry, you must have confidence in yourself... Understand?

2 options (Same Response)
Then... Here, Surtr.	This is for you, Father-san...

..................

......? You're giving this... to me?

...... [Player]. Did you not listen carefully to what I said?

Offering your love to a Fire Giant such as I... Is not contribution to the blooming of mankind.

3 options
I think otherwise.	It's fine.	Was it done before?
It's not only about the thriving of mankind? I don't understand... What could you mean by this...?		No, because there is no meaning to that whatsoever. It is because we were born with such "Roles." I have never pondered about that... At the very least.

My child... You think of such complicated matters. I'm afraid I have yet to understand the social etiquette of this Tokyo...

...........

... The child has challenged that by showing their love with confidence, to a father that cannot be shown a shape of a memory.

Moreover... I have done the same some time ago. If a world is desired where no being can reach it -

If a world is desired where anyone does not get cut down, You will become someone that goes after that world...

That being the case, this Father will too contend for that. Yes, today, Surtr will spend his time with you as a lover.

2 options (Same Response)
It's a date with Father-san, cool!	It feels special... when you call someone by their name.

Surtr nods and laughs in delight at your response.

Speaking of lovers... You mentioned a date, correct? Then we shall head to town. However, what should we do first?

3 options (Same Response)
(Hold hands)	(Link arms with each other)	(Have him give you a piggyback ride)

I see, like this, eh? ...... Huhuhuh.

3 options
I'm happy myself!	Come on, let's get going, Surtr!	A parent and a child shouldn't be on a date.
		......? Could it be that... it's different for this Tokyo? No, The Vanir family and the longtime rival family, The Aesir, were practically connected by parent and child...... Ahh, the social etiquette of this Tokyo is still complicated for me. ...... No, I must resign myself as a sovereign and be depended on as a father.

Splendid, let us go then, [Player]. You are simply full of surprises, my dear human... my lover.

Tell me in this new world where you wish to conquer. And -

You will be shown affection that will not burn out and instead burn and burn. ...... I will make it so you see it yourself...

Heading outside, Surtr's flames gently sways for a moment. There, a breeze gentle caresses the two people.

The breeze passes on by, with coldness like stinging the skin. With that, the spring season is slowly making its way.
