Character Story 1: We Should Help Each Other When We Run Into Trouble


Translated by NONSTOPMOP

Today, Hiyori has taken on a request for work and has left the city alone.

Hiyori
Toryaaah!!

Monster
Gyaaaa!

Hiyori
...Haah... There's one down!

Hiyori
I can't believe all these monsters have been coming out to areas people usually cross... I'd better make quick work of these guys before anyone comes by!

Monster
Guooooh!

Hiyori
Another already!? I think I heard it over that way...

Hiyori
Someone's being attacked! I've gotta save them!

Monster
Guooooh!

Hiyori
Are you alright!? I'm here to help--

Hiyori
Eh!? Kishi-kun!? Hey there! I'm so glad to see you here!

Hiyori
What're you doing--

Monster
Guooooh!

Hiyori
Whoops! Ehehe, now's not the time for that huh? Let's deal with the monster first! Uryaryarya!

Monster
Guoooooh!

Hiyori
Whew... Good thing that one wasn't so strong. Now we can have a take our time talking.

Hiyori
I don't need any in return for helping out. I'm here on request to eliminate some monsters. It's just part of the job, so don't worry about it!

Hiyori
By the way, what are you doing here?

Hiyori
For your delivery job...? And to the place just past this forest?

Hiyori
But there's a lot of monsters around here right now... It's dangerous to come here alone you know?

Hiyori
Hmm... I guess you can't just quit your job part way through...

Hiyori
I've got it! If you're in trouble, then I'll help out!

Hiyori
...Is what I'd like to say... But I'm all caught up with this monster elimination job...

Hiyori
I've heard there's lots of monsters in this forest. So many, that I'm not sure if I can beat them all myself!

Hiyori
And when I heard that, I was hoping for some help on my end, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to help you right now...

Hiyori
Hmm... What should we do?

Hiyori
Ah! I thought of something!

Hiyori
I think, I'll help you out after all!

Hiyori
And in return, could you help me out? I want your help with clearing out the monsters!

Hiyori
Together, we'd finish this job real quick! And if we get rid of the monsters, your job'll become easier to do, right?

Hiyori
Yeah, yeah! It's perfect! And with that said, let's help each other out!

Hiyori
Eh? I don't need anything in return! I'm having you help me too! We should help each other out when we run into trouble, I always say!

Hiyori
Then let's get right to, the monster elimination!

Monster
Guooooooh!

Hiyori
Alright! This is going well! And it's all thanks to your help, Kishi-kun!

Hiyori
But we haven't been able to find the group's boss yet... If we could defeat their boss, I think the rest would flee too...

Hiyori
What I heard when I accepted the request was, that their boss would go off to hide somewhere when the sun sets. That's why we need to find it as soon as we can...!

Monster
Guooooh!

Hiyori
W-Wow! Wh-What a huge voice...! The boss might be nearby! Let's check it out!

Hiyori
...We finally found it! Kishi-kun, look, that's their boss!

Hiyori
I'll take him out! Victory goes to the one who strikes first! Taaah!

Hiyori
No way!? He stopped my attack!?

Monster
Guoooooooh!

Hiyori
There're monsters behind me too!! Could they have lured me in here...!?

Monster
Guooooooh!

Hiyori
Uwa! I'm done for...!!

Yuuki
1. Save her.

Hiyori
Kishi-kun!! You came in to help!

Hiyori
After I'd accidentally fallen for their bait... Thanks! Hold off the monsters for me! I'll take care of their boss real quick! Here gooooooes! Toryah!!!

Hiyori
According to the map... Looks like the package's destination is, in the town just up ahead.

Hiyori
You don't need anymore help from here on? Okay! Then I'll go ahead and return to town first!

Hiyori
Kishi-kun! Thanks for the help earlier! Things were about to turn out badly for a second there... But thanks to your help, we were able to safely defeat their boss!

Hiyori
I'd like to do something in return, but is there anything you'd want me to do?

Yuuki
1. What should I have you do...?
2. I just decided to save you on my own, don't worry about it.

Option 1.

Hiyori
I'll help think too! Hmm...?

Hiyori
...Oh, I know!

Option 2.

Hiyori
The same as me then! We really can't ignore someone who needs help!

End of branches.

Hiyori
Kishi-kun! If you're ever in trouble with something, you can let me know whenever! I might be able to help out!

Yuuki
1. When you're in trouble with something, I'll help you out.

Hiyori
Eh...? If I'm in trouble, you'd...?

Hiyori
Then... When the time comes, I guess I'll be relying on you! I was the one who said we should help each other out when we run into trouble after all! Thanks, Kishi-kun!
