Shinjuku Central Park Shrine

--This is the final blow!!

W-what, ganging up on me, cheaters...! Uuu...

I did my best to hold back. Could you please calm down a little, Komainu summon-dono?

Why do you keep calling me Summon? I have a name y'know! It's Agyou!

I'm an honorable, ancient komainu! Agh, just when I determined to find a new partner...!

And yet...*sniff* uuu...!

A-Agyou-dono! Please, just calm down and take a deep breath. Yes, just a calming, deep breath...!

Bark! No no no! Where am I? I want to go home already!

I want to go back to Wa No Kuni! Grandpa Ungyouuu! *Sniffle*

Aah! A cry that won't lose to Cusith-dono! It's no good, he's still not listening to us!

1 option
What should we do, Moritaka?

D-don't look at me... It seems you don't have any ideas either though.

Like this, even if we could help him he's not going to cooperate.

Earlier, he said he came from the same world as I. Wa No Kuni. I can smell its familiar scent on him.

I can't help but want to lend a hand to a fellow dweller of my world, though...

Wa No Kuni...?! What did you say just now?! You came from the same place as me?!

Now that you mention it, yes... this smell, this feeling, is definitely Wa No Kuni...!

That means, you know the way back, right?! Tell me, tell me!

I'm afraid you are the only one who knows the answer to that, Agyou-dono.

Summoning occurs when the wishes of two people match, and a bond is formed. At least, that's what I have been told.

If Agyou-dono is really from Wa No Kuni, you must have some idea, correct?

How should I know... I don't remember answering to any "summon" thing.

Wait, no... Could it be, that "would you go anywhere... to find a partner" ?

U-uhm...

Oh, it seems you have an idea! Did you answer to a summoning after all?

If that's the case, I can't think of anyone who could've summoned me but... *glare*

3 options
I-I'm under suspicion... I'd like you to prove that, please. If you let me cuddle your fluffy fur, it may jog my memory.

No matter how much I think about it, you're the most suspicious one here!

How am I supposed to prove that? I guess it's no good then...

You!! Someone is seriously worried and you make jokes! That's no good!

That is a problem then, if you don't who summoned you...

The remaining way is -- to grant Agyou-dono's wish.

Agyou-dono, do you have any sort of strong wish? The first thing that comes to your mind--

If that's the case, there is only one! I have but one wish!

It's -- Finding a lifelong komainu partner, becoming friends, and protecting a splendid shrine together!

I can think of no other wish but that, it's a stroooong wish!

That makes things much simpler! In that case, a partner for a komainu would be...

A dog, of course! It's gotta be a dog! After all, I'm a lion, as you can see!

A komainu is a set of a dog and a lion. Because of that, my partner has to be a dog!

But not just any dog will do, it's got to be a strong dog than can protect a shrine properly!

Hoh, there's a smile at last, Agyou-dono. It seems you're feeling better now.

What do you think, Player-dono? We're completely immersed in helping him out now, so...

3 options
Of course, we'd be glad to help. We can't abandon him now... What a pain.

As expected of Player-dono! You can understand his yearning.

H-hey, did you just treat me like some kid again?! You did, didn't you?!

Now, now, don't say that. Aren't we in too deep already to back out?

Now, speaking of a suitable dog to be a komainu, your criteria is that they be a strong fighter, right?

Then, where should we start searching...?

Uuhm...

2 option
I know some good candidates. If some of my dog friends are okay.

As always, your personal network of connections is vast. Then, let's get started immediately!

Ah, you're nice people after all. I misjudged you at first, but I have a much better opinion now.

I'll introduce myself once more! I am Agyou, the honorable ancient komainu!

--Although, I am still in training. It's a pleasure to meet you, um...

1 option
Introduce yourself.

Heeeh, Player huh? Nice to meet you! Let's work together to find a fine komainu candidate!

I am Inuzuka Shino Moritaka, a canine beastman attending Shinjuku Academy.

Canine! A Dog?! Big Bro was a dog after all! Komainu! Are you interested in becoming a komainu?!

I-i'm still in training to become a samurai! My apologies, but I can't be Agyou-dono's--

Ooh, you already have a goal of your own. I understand. I don't want to force anyone.

Finding my komainu partner is important, but it would be shameful to do so by stepping on someone else's dreams.

Hah... I appreciate your understanding. You're much more reasonable now that you've regained composure.

All right, let's go meet the komainu candidates!

Yes!

Thus, the small, incident filled journey of Moritaka, Agyou and Player in search of a komainu partner began.

...........

Bwaaaah... Milord, you're so meeeaaan! Not even so much as a "I need your help, Salomon-Kun~"?

I always answer Milord's questions, I was even waiting on standby...

In the first place, all Milord had to do was touch him to determine if they were indeed a bonded summoner and summon!

Salomon-kun:(new year angry face)
Jeez! I absolutely, definitely, positively won't tell you now! Nyeeeh!

This cute little Salomon-kun is going to lounge on the kotatsu, eat tangerines and dress fancily ALL. BY. MYSELF!!

...HMPH!!
