Line 1: Line 1:
On a certain morning, after the sun has risen only for a few hours.<br/>
Snow was falling.<br/>


At this time of the day, [<i>player</i>] was standing alone in front of the busy streets of Ikebukuro.<br/>
Voiceless, the dance of the white powdered snow calls to the heavens.<br/>


MAAASSSTTTTERRR!!!<br/>


{{VN:Dialogue

|dialogue=WAOOOOOOOOOH!<br/>
Master! MAAASSSSTEERR!
}}


Without any hesitation, Garmr runs straight towards you using all four legs, bringing up the dust.<br/>
The snow continues to dance,<br>
 
and melts in the palm of his hand.<br>
 
 
 
After losing his previous summoner, a great deal of time had passed.<br>
 
He could feel the ties between his body and this world grow weaker day by day.<br>
 
 
 
Summons must form a contract with a being who has a strong foundation in this world.<br>
 
 
 
A Summon without a master, is like a boat trying to moor without an anchor.<br>
 
 
 
You can stay there for a while, <br>
But eventually it will drift away, or perhaps even sink.<br>
 
 
 
To be honest, even he did not quite know what happens to Summons without a master.<br>
 
 
 
The rumors say that you get sent back to your original world.<br>
Others say you lose your sense of self, becoming a mindless beast.<br>
 
 
 
Perhaps you get sent to some completely different world.<br>
Or perhaps you go nowhere at all, and simply cease to be.<br>
 
 
 
But that was fine. It didn’t matter.<br>
He was prepared for that the moment he came to this world.<br>
 
 
 
Just like the day those young heroes disappeared to the other side.<br>
 
 
 
He didn’t do anything to stop it.<br>
There was nothing he ''*could*'' do to stop it.<br>
 
 
 
That’s why, he figured no matter what horrible thing happened,<br>
it was merely retribution, and that would be the end of it.<br>
 
 
 
But before that, <br>
he wanted nothing more than to meet that person one last time.<br>
 
 
 
That day, he appeared like the wind.<br>
The person who caused his soul to tremble.<br>
 
 
 
That meeting, and the words they exchanged<br>
Now and forevermore, were stuck into his heart like a thorn.<br>

One day, [<i>player</i>] was being attacked by a mysterious gang.<br>
Ever since it became known that [<i>player</i>] had become the temporary Number 2 of the Ikebukuro guild, <br>
[<i>player</i>] has become a target of people seeking fame and fortune.<br>
But this time the attack was different from usual.<br>
They had suddenly attacked from atop a building.<br>


{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=cheerful
|dialogue=Master, come for me, happy!<br/>
Garmr's wish, happy master listened to!
}}
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|dialogue=Garmr, together, want to go a place!<br/>
So let's, go! LET'S GO!<br/>
}}


While skipping lightly and happily, Garmr's eyes shine as he speaks.
Their movements were planned, ruthless,<br>
And [<i>player's</i>] body felt oddly heavy.<br>


{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=cheerful
|dialogue=We're going to, nice place!<br/>
Garmr, master, want to go together!

{{VN:Dialogue

After catching up with Garmr,<br/>
With repeated movements,<br>
you see him and a {{Attribute|FIRE}} [[Wolf]] intimidating each other.<br/>
The attackers surround [<i>player</i>] and slowly approach.<br>


{{VN:Dialogue

You bumped right into me!<br/>

{{VN:Dialogue

===At alleyway===
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=howling
|dialogue=Master!  Here!  Pass through, here!<br/>
This is best, shortcut!<br/>
}}


There was no way ahead where Garmr was pointing.<br/>
They struck a perfect balance of not getting too close,<br>
It was a complete dead-end.<br/>
But not being so far that they couldn’t attack.<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{{VN:Dialogue:Choice

Do this, and Garmr, pass through here!
}}


{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=howling
|dialogue=TOOOOOOOOU!<br/>
}}


While saying that, Garmr promptly leaps over a wall about 5 meters tall.<br/>
The purpose of this was to attack the [<i>player</i>] mentally, <br>
Wear him out and and reduce his ability to think.<br>


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{{VN:Dialogue:Choice
|heading=1 option
|header=
!<i>.......What to do.</i>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


With no choice but to wait, Garmr jumps over the wall again, and returns.
The second [<i>player</i>] showed an opening,<br>
Several of them would attack instantly. <br>


{{VN:Dialogue

It easy!  Just jump like bunny!  Like bunny!

{{VN:Dialogue

Suddenly, voices are heard from behind, at the entrance to the alley. <br/>
The instant he accepted that he wouldn’t be able to defend-<br>


{{VN:Dialogue
|character=[[Wolf]]

You damn guard dog!

{{VN:Dialogue

}}
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=[[Wolf]]
|dialogue=Of course it's not okay!!<br/>

After saying that,<br/>
The wind suddenly blew.
the troublemakers noticed the atmosphere suddenly changed.


{{VN:Dialogue

'''Onrupus Kamui!'''

}}
Ice and snow danced, freezing even sound,<br>
And the attackers were stopped in an instant.<br>


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When [<i>player</i>] opened his eyes,<br>
{{VN:Dialogue:Choice
He was greeted with the back of a familiar honorable man.<br>

{{VN:Dialogue

Wiping away the tears, [<i>player</i>] gently pets Garmr's head.<br/>

!<i>Garmr, kneel.</i>
}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=cheerful
|dialogue=Gau!<br/>
}}


Hearing those words, Garmr instinctively bends over.
He felt a sense of relief at the back,<br>
And then soon lost consciousness. <br>


{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=angry
|dialogue=Master!?  If do this, Garmr can't fight!<br/>
What Garmr supposed to do!?<br/>

}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With those words, Garmr understands what he needs to do.
Lying down on the bed,<br>
[<i>player</i>] awakens feeling something warm and fluffy.<br>


{{VN:Dialogue
{{VN:Dialogue

{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Garmr
|face=angry
|dialogue=Master, get on Garmr's back!<br/>
This way, Garmr, will carry you!<br/>
}}
}}


Once [<i>player</i>] is on Garmr's back, Garmr leaps over the wall with a jump.<br/>
[<i>Player</i>] examines his surroundings.  He appeared to be underground, in a simple rest area.
 
I knew it was you, Horkeukamui!
Where am I?  Where’s the group that attacked me?
Wh-why are we together in bed!?


{{VN:Dialogue
{{VN:Dialogue

Without hearing the rest of his sentence, while riding on Garmr's back, you take off flying.
This Horkeukamui has some pride in his knowledge about hunting.
Underneath Ikebukuro….?

In high spirits, Garmr takes out various things from his bag.<br/>
I don’t have a clue.<br>
 
I’d like to ask that myself.

Garmr's stomach rumbles.

Revision as of 06:54, 24 March 2017

Snow was falling.

Voiceless, the dance of the white powdered snow calls to the heavens.


The snow continues to dance,

and melts in the palm of his hand.


After losing his previous summoner, a great deal of time had passed.

He could feel the ties between his body and this world grow weaker day by day.


Summons must form a contract with a being who has a strong foundation in this world.


A Summon without a master, is like a boat trying to moor without an anchor.


You can stay there for a while,
But eventually it will drift away, or perhaps even sink.


To be honest, even he did not quite know what happens to Summons without a master.


The rumors say that you get sent back to your original world.
Others say you lose your sense of self, becoming a mindless beast.


Perhaps you get sent to some completely different world.
Or perhaps you go nowhere at all, and simply cease to be.


But that was fine. It didn’t matter.
He was prepared for that the moment he came to this world.


Just like the day those young heroes disappeared to the other side.


He didn’t do anything to stop it.
There was nothing he *could* do to stop it.


That’s why, he figured no matter what horrible thing happened,
it was merely retribution, and that would be the end of it.


But before that,
he wanted nothing more than to meet that person one last time.


That day, he appeared like the wind.
The person who caused his soul to tremble.


That meeting, and the words they exchanged
Now and forevermore, were stuck into his heart like a thorn.


And that beast,
decided to descend the mountain.

Man: We’ve found you.

Man: I mean,
This was the only area left.

One day, [player] was being attacked by a mysterious gang.


Ever since it became known that [player] had become the temporary Number 2 of the Ikebukuro guild,
[player] has become a target of people seeking fame and fortune.


But this time the attack was different from usual.
They had suddenly attacked from atop a building.


Their movements were planned, ruthless,
And [player's] body felt oddly heavy.


Huff, huff…
They’re pretty strong
What the hell are these guys?

Man: He’s here.
Surround him, but don’t kill him.

With repeated movements,
The attackers surround [player] and slowly approach.


They struck a perfect balance of not getting too close,
But not being so far that they couldn’t attack.


The purpose of this was to attack the [player] mentally,
Wear him out and and reduce his ability to think.


The second [player] showed an opening,
Several of them would attack instantly.


This is bad!
Im done for…


The instant he accepted that he wouldn’t be able to defend-


The wind suddenly blew.

Man: ?!

Horkeukamui:( face)
Freeze in ice,
Onrupus Kamui!

Ice and snow danced, freezing even sound,
And the attackers were stopped in an instant.


When [player] opened his eyes,
He was greeted with the back of a familiar honorable man.


He felt a sense of relief at the back,
And then soon lost consciousness.

Lying down on the bed,
[player] awakens feeling something warm and fluffy.

Horkeukamui:( face)
So you’ve awakened.
You’ve been asleep nearly the whole day.

[Player] examines his surroundings. He appeared to be underground, in a simple rest area.

I knew it was you, Horkeukamui! Where am I? Where’s the group that attacked me? Wh-why are we together in bed!?

Horkeukamui:( face)
Please calm down.
I’ll explain everything in order.

Horkeukamui:( face)
This is underneath Ikebukuro.
The guild’s safe house.

Horkeukamui:( face)
Your attackers lost us.
I doubt they’ll be able to follow us.

This Horkeukamui has some pride in his knowledge about hunting. Underneath Ikebukuro….?

Horkeukamui:( face)
When Claude built this place,
He also made several private tunnels for use.

Horkeukamui:( face)
Only those who have a rank in the Ikebukuro guild are allowed to be here.

Horkeukamui:( face)
There seems to be a system here that can tell a person's face and voice.
…That’s what I’ve heard, at least.

Horkeukamui:( face)
Since I left the guild, I wasn’t sure if I could still use it.
But it would seem I’m still recorded as being rank 10.

All this below Ikebukuro… For what purpose did he do this? Just how much money does that guy have…!

Horkeukamui:( face)
Who knows, he said it was “just to be safe.”
I have no idea what the purpose is, but…

Horkeukamui:( face)
He’s someone I don’t understand.
Though I understand you even less.

Horkeukamui:( face)
He’s someone I don’t understand.
Though I understand you even less.

Horkeukamui:( face)
[Player]
The attackers from before… Who were they?

I don’t have a clue.
I’d like to ask that myself.

Horkeukamui:( face)
I thought so.

Horkeukamui:( face)
From your reaction, I figured you wouldn’t know.

Horkeukamui:( face)
Your body was sluggish.
You were likely hit by some kind of poison.

Poison!?

Horkeukamui:( face)
You were likely first poisoned from this wound here.
It appears to have been by some kind of projectile.

Horkeukamui:( face)
This poison didn’t originate from the “App.”
It was made using plants.

Horkeukamui:( face)
It’s used to weaken animals you’re hunting without hurting them.


Horkeukamui:( face)
That being said, you were in danger of freezing.
If I hadn’t warmed you up, you might have been a goner.

Thank you, Horkeukamui…. 

 Skip to “If what they said is true, and they had no intent to kill you” line.

How did you warm me up?

Horkeukamui:( face)
You should already know.
Right now. I shared your bed while you slept.

Horkeukamui:( face)
A beastman’s fur is perfect for staving off cold.
It was the best solution for warming your skin.

Horkeukamui:( face)
What’s wrong? Your heart rate is fast.
Don’t tell me this is a delayed effect of the poison!

Horkeukamui:( face)
What, you’re alright?
Oh… I see.

Horkeukamui:( face)
If what they said is true, and they had no intent to kill you,
then their aim was likely to kidnap you.

......

Horkeukamui:( face)
Heroes who have strength, and stand with the times will always continue being attacked.

Horkeukamui:( face)
As I thought, you are appropriate for becoming a hero.
This Horkeukamui was not wrong in his judgment.

Horkeukamui:( face)
You said before you can’t become a hero.
But…I believe the path of the hero is your true path.

Horkeukamui:( face)
…It’s sad.
History is always repeating.

3 options
Can I ask you something? Why do you want me to become a hero? Why are you trying to raise a hero?

( face)

( face)

( face)

Horkeukamui:( face)
That’s the purpose for which I was born.

Horkeukamui:( face)
And, that is all that this Horkeukamui is able to do.

Purpose? What do you mean?

Horkeukamui:( face)
You wish to ask about that?
It’s not an interesting story.
