| '''Scene 1: Hotel Lobby'''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It finally stopped raining!
| | |story1Summary=Upon hearing that the Main Character is taking her annual leave, Vyn asks if she'd like to accompany him to a sightseeing trip after doing a patient check-up in a town in the neighboring state. The MC asks to accompany Vyn on his patient visit if possible, and the two meet and chat with Professor Xumen, then leave. |
|
| |
|
| As you look at the clear sky, you can feel your mood brighten as the days of heavy rain finally stops. | | |story2Summary=The MC asks Vyn questions about a dusty bicycle in the professor's yard. As the conversation moves on to the next stage of the vacation, heavy rains begin and do not cease for three days, and flooded roads threaten to trap the two in town even longer. Determined to make the best of the vacation, the two return to Professor Xumen asking questions about the "Dragon King Rain" and "Yin and Yang Spring" phenomena discussed on the local news. The professor asks for help in his fields while he talks. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (It's been raining for so many days. It finally stopped!)
| | |story3Summary=Vyn and the MC enjoy helping with the professor's harvest, with the MC surprised at Vyn's willingness to perform such work and impressed by his knowledge of plants. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (I can finally leave this small town and go sightseeing with Dr. Richter!)
| | |story4Summary=Professor Xumen explains the "Yin and Yang Spring" phenomenon: one hot spring and one cold spring will appear in the region at unpredictable locations, and local legend says that if a person finds both springs in a day, the Dragon King will solve that person's biggest problem. That night, Vyn disappears; the MC finds him on the road, teaching himself how to ride a bike using Professor Xumen's old bicycle. She stays hidden, understanding that he doesn't want to be seen. The next morning, Vyn arranges a bicycle trip to search for the Yin and Yang Springs. |
|
| |
|
| However, you can see helplessness in Vyn's expression after he talks with the hotel manager.
| | |story5Summary=With the MC on the back of the bike, Vyn rides around the town for most of the day, mapping a complex river chart to follow the streams and locate the springs. The two find the hot spring in a small forest, but they get lost searching for the cold spring. The MC suggests they can resume the search the next day. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), the hotel manager just told me that the road leaving town has been flooded.
| | |story6Summary=While discussing their plans, the two hear the cold spring nearby and locate it easily; the MC asks the Dragon King to clear the roads so they can return. Vyn suggests they leave, but the MC suggests they take the opportunity to relax together at the spring. The next morning, the news announces that the roads have cleared. Vyn asks the MC whether she regrets the trip and is surprised to find she doesn't. |

| | | |textMessage2Script= |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sorry... I did not think that we would be stuck here because of the rain.
| | {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, is Stellis University hosting a cycling event?}} |

| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| | {{SC |
| | | |choice1=Let's join too |

| | |script1= |
| | | {{SL|You|If you're free, let's go too!}} |
| Originally, you had other vacation plans, but you accepted a last-minute invite from Vyn. And here you are now.
| | {{SL|You|I have no plans this weekend.}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I would never turn down an invitation from you.}} |
| This trip all started with a phone call.
| | |choice2=Want to take a look |
| | | |script2= |
| '''Flashback'''
| | {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, You don't have to work over the weekend, do you?}} |
| | | {{SL|You|You want to go check it out?}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' You are taking your annual leave? Have you thought of where to go for your vacation?
| | {{SL|Vyn|Hmm? Just to check it out?}}}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I can tell that you really want to participate in this event.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Not yet. l've been looking at travel guides recently too.
| | {{SC |
| | | |choice1=You got me |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' If you have not confirmed a destination, would you like to come with me?
| | |script1= |
| | | {{SL|You|Ah... you noticed huh.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Eh? You're going on vacation as well?
| | {{SL|You|When I was in college, this event always conflicted with my internships. I missed it four years in a row...}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I will be in your company this time. You will not miss it again.}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' l have a patient that is recovering at a town in the neighboring province. l have to pay him a return visit for a psychological follow-up.
| | |choice2=You're exaggerating |
| | | |script2= |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I had vacation plans to go to nearby tourist attractions after the return visit.
| | {{SL|You|Just... slightly... haha...}} |
| | | {{SL|You|...Looks like I really can't keep anything from you.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I see!
| | {{SL|Vyn|You are very easy to read. You do not need to hide yourself in front of me.}}}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|Is there anything interesting about this event?}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If it's not too much trouble, then it'd be great if we can go together!
| | {{SC |
| | | |choice1=There's a prize |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I will look at the routes and we can drive there.
| | |script1= |
| | | {{SL|You|Yeah! You get a prize just for participating!}} |
| With that, you and Vyn decide to go on vacation together. Vyn books the hotel in advance.
| | {{SL|You|If you're able to win a placement, the prizes are even better! Let's go, Dr. Richter!}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I probably should not respond this way, being the novice that I am.}} |
| At the start of your holiday, he drives you to this small town in the neighboring province.
| | {{SL|Vyn|But for you, I am willing to try my best.}} |
| | | |choice2=Makes you happy |
| '''Scene 2: Outside the Resort Hotel'''
| | |script2= |
| | | {{SL|You|It's nice to be able to ride with so many people!}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I thought it would take at least a day to reach here by car. The country roads here aren't hard to navigate.
| | {{SL|Vyn|I see.}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|Hearing that makes me want to experience it as well.}}}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' There were partial development plans to convert the old town to a tourist attraction, hence the resort hotel.
| | {{SL|Vyn|I will come find you over the weekend, and we can ride over?}} |
| | | {{SC |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Not many tourists came, so they stopped development. It is good because its natural ecology remains protected.
| | |choice1=Ride shared bikes |
| | | |script1= |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Is the patient receiving treatment here?
| | {{SL|You|Sure! We can ride the public bikes there.}} |
| | | {{SL|You|Dr. Richter, You don't have a bike, do you?}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. We will rest for the night, and I will see him tomorrow. You can explore the old town first.
| | {{SL|Vyn|Actually... I do.}} |
| | | |choice2=Ride your bike |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' No worries. I can come with you! I've been wanting to learn about psychological follow-ups!
| | |script2= |
| | | {{SL|You|Alright! We'll take my bike there, then borrow one from the school.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... but will it interfere with your work? | | {{SL|You|You get to ride in the back this time!}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|Thanks... but no thanks...}}}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' No. Return visits are not complicated. It is just a simple evaluation of the patient's current psychological condition.
| | {{SL|Vyn|I have a bike. I bought it after our vacation last time.}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I cannot let something I have learned to go to waste, right?}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Besides, to my understanding, he is quite eager to see young people visit him.
| | {{SC |
| | | |choice1=We can ride together in the future |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Huh?
| | |script1= |
| | | {{SL|You|That means we can go on a biking trip in the future!}} |
| You and Vyn rest at the hotel for the night. The next day, Vyn brings you along for the return visit.
| | {{SL|You|It's good exercise, and it's good for the environment!}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|Yes, and it is another reason to ask you out.}} |
| '''Scene 3: Old House''' | | {{SL|Vyn|Let us make this cycling event the beginning of our cycling dates.}} |
| | | |choice2=Take me on more trips on your bike |
| '''???:''' Professor Richter, long time no see.
| | |script2= |
| | | {{SL|You|Carrying someone on the bike is also a worthy skill to keep! So you'll have to carry me from now on!}} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Hello, Professor Xumen.
| | {{SL|You|Haha... I'm just kidding. I can't ask you to do that...}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|Was it just a joke? I was actually looking forward to it.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Huh...? Dr. Richter called him a professor just now, didn't he?)
| | {{SL|Vyn|Looks like I need to work harder to make you feel safe in the backseat.}}}} |
| | | {{SL|Vyn|I will see you over the weekend.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Could this old man be...)
| | {{SL|Vyn|I look forward to this voyage together.}} |
| | | }} |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), this is Professor Xumen. He used to be a biology professor at Stellis University.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hello, Professor Xumen! So you were a professor from Stellis University...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hello. Haha, are you surprised that a college professor would require psychiatric care?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah, not at all! I graduated from Stellis University. So, I'm surprised to find a professor from my alma mater here.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Haha, so that's why. The two of you are welcome here. Please, have a seat.
| |
| | |
| Professor Xumen invites the two of you to sit down. While he makes tea, Vyn begins talking with him.
| |
| | |
| It is very different from how you imagined therapy would be. It was as if they were old friends catching up with each other.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (So this is a return visit... It is much more relaxed than I thought.)
| |
| | |
| You sit quietly to the side, listening to them talk.
| |
| | |
| You learn that Professor Xumen started suffering from mental illness soon after the loss of his beloved son. | |
| | |
| Under Vyn's treatment, he gradually recovered from the pain and was able to return to a normal life.
| |
| | |
| He was a professor at Stellis University for a year. Three months ago, he retired to his hometown for treatment.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Professor Xumen brought up his son alone... and ended up outliving his son. I can't imagine the grief he must be feeling...)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Good thing Dr. Richter is here. It is important that a psychiatrist helps their patient return to normalcy.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (It looks like their conversation is going smoothly, which probably means that Professor Xumen is doing well.)
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn spend about half a day at Professor Xumen's house before Vyn concludes the visit.
| |
| | |
| The professor seems to enjoy your company. He suggests for the two of you to spend more time in town.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Thank you for your hospitality. However, we have other vacation plans, so we might not be able to stay here for long.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' I see. Well, good luck in your travels. You're welcome to visit anytime.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. I will come visit you again.
| |
| | |
| As they are talking, you spot something in his backyard while looking through a glass window.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Is that...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Time to go.
| |
| | |
| Vyn quickly moves in front of you and blocks your view. As you look up, Vyn's eyes are hinting for you to leave with him.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay.
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn bid farewell to Professor Xumen before leaving his home.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 4: Road Around Town'''
| |
| | |
| On the way back to the hotel, you ask Vyn about what you saw in the backyard.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Did you notice the bicycle in his backyard too?
| |
| | |
| A dusty bicycle sits in Professor Xumen's backyard. It is out of place for a yard that tidy.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. That is no ordinary bicycle.
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 2}}
| |
| '''Scene 1: Road Around Town'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' The bicycle you saw is no ordinary bicycle.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Huh? But I didn't notice anything special about that bicycle.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I thought Professor Xumen would be using that bicycle because he lives quite far from the city.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' But, that bicycle is too dirty, which means that it hasn't been used in a long time.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Putting it in a backyard that tidy makes it way too eye-catching...
| |
| | |
| Your voice trails off, but Vyn still doesn't respond.
| |
| | |
| You look up at him only to find that he looks more serious than before.
| |
| | |
| Thinking back, you suddenly come to a realization.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Does it belong to... his son...?
| |
| | |
| Vyn nods.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' When Professor Xumen moved here for his retirement, that large bicycle was the only thing he brought here.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' That bicycle is a relic of his son, as well as his son's gift to him.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Gift...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. Professor Xumen does not know how to drive, so he would always ride bicycles when he was younger.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' His son bought him a new bicycle since he was about to retire. Then, his son promised to go biking together after his business trip.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Unfortunately, during that business trip, his car was caught in a landslide while on the mountains...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh no...
| |
| | |
| That promise turned into an everlasting regret.
| |
| | |
| No wonder Professor Xumen kept the bicycle. He might still be waiting for his son to return...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I know that it is of importance to him, but it is also his biggest emotional knot.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' So, I suggested that he could keep the bicycle with him, but to not give it too much attention and care.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Maybe... it's a way of keeping his son's memory alive, but that can't be healthy...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Good thing Professor Xumen was very cooperative with the treatment. He gradually recovered from the tragedy.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It is just a shame about that bicycle. No one ever really took proper care of it.
| |
| | |
| No wonder the bicycle collected so much dust...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yes. It can't be helped with matters like these.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's also great that Professor Xumen is able to keep it with him.
| |
| | |
| After making sure that Vyn was done with work, the two of you walk back and discuss the next part of your trip.
| |
| | |
| Although Professor Xumen suggested for the two of you stay longer, your final destination lies elsewhere.
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn have done your homework before coming. The surrounding tourist attractions include a volcano, hot springs, and a geopark.
| |
| | |
| It's rare that you get to travel so far. You want to see things that you can't normally see in Stellis City.
| |
| | |
| However, things don't work out as planned. When you return to the hotel that night...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Whoa...! Why is it thundering outside? And it sounds like a rainstorm!
| |
| | |
| For the next three days, all you hear are the thunder and lightning. You and Vyn were stuck here.
| |
| | |
| Today, the rain finally stops. However...
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Hotel Lobby'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Even if the rain stops, we need to wait till the water recedes to be able to pass.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Meaning, we might have to stay here for a couple more days.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sorry... I did not think we would be stuck here because of the rain.
| |
| | |
| Vyn tells you that leaving the small town would not be possible for the time being. Vyn apologizes profusely.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Sigh... This means that we can only leave when the road is dry, but we might already have to go back by the time that happens.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (No. I can't be so pessimistic. It will affect Dr. Richter's mood if I do!)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sorry. I will check the weather in advance next time. That way...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah...! Why are you apologizing? This isn't your fault.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I didn't check the weather either. I'll make sure to check it as well the next time we travel!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Besides, didn't Professor Xumen mention that there are also tourist attractions here? We can check those out first ...
| |
| | |
| Just as you're about to say something, the TV in the hotel lobby broadcasts tourism information.
| |
| | |
| "'''Host:''' ""The 'Dragon King Rain', an event that only
| |
| occurs once every five years, refills the water in our channels."""
| |
| | |
| "'''Host:''' ""The village elders say that the extraordinary
| |
| sight, 'Yin and Yang Spring', will also appear during this time."""
| |
| | |
| "'''Host:''' ""Who knows where this year's hot spring and
| |
| cold spring will appear..."""
| |
| | |
| When the news broadcast is over, the TV resumes its coverage of the flooded roads outside of town.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Yin and Yang Spring...? What's that?)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (The news said that it only occurs once every five years. Should we go take a Iook...?)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Want to go?
| |
| | |
| Vyn's voice comes from beside. You raise your head, only to meet his gentle gaze.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Since we are going to be staying here for a couple more days, want to go take a look?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yes!
| |
| | |
| To learn more about the "Yin and Yang Spring." You and Vyn decide to pay Professor Xumen another visit.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Road Around Town'''
| |
| | |
| Heading down the village road, you and Vyn can see the distant fields of farmland outside of town.
| |
| | |
| You thought that the farmlands would be affected by the rain. However, there's no flooding here and the villagers are hard at work.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' This area doesn't seem affected by the rainstorm.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' This town is located on a plateau surrounded by volcanoes. That is why this place does not get flooded.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' The abundant amount of rainwater nourishes the soil and dissipates quickly. It is advantageous for cultivating crops.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I see...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' However, the excess water flows towards lower elevation areas, which happens to be where the road...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So, the geography is to blame for the flooded roads.
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn smile wryly at each other.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh well. No use in thinking about it. Let's go ask Professor Xumen about the "Yin and Yang Spring."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's worth the trip if we can witness something that only happens once every five years.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes.
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn arrive at Professor Xumen's home and knock on the door, but there's no reply.
| |
| | |
| He's probably not home. You and Vyn discuss coming back later to find him.
| |
| | |
| However, just as you're about to leave, you turn around to find...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Professor Richter, are you two looking for me?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh...! Professor Xumen, you...!
| |
| | |
| You are taken back at the sight of him dressed as a villager, holding farm tools.
| |
| | |
| You slowly turn to look at Vyn, who seems just as surprised as you are.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Professor Xumen... Were you working in the fields just now?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Yes. After retiring, a fellow villager saw that I had nothing to do all day and gave me some farmland to manage.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' The rain softened the dirt, so I took the opportunity to prepare for my summer harvest.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' So, you just finished?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Oh, no. I was just going home to grab a few more baskets to harvest my crops.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hm? But I recall that you were both leaving town, weren't you...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. But, the roads leading out of town have been flooded, so we will be staying for a couple more days.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' What a shame it had to happen on your vacation, but this town has its own tourist attractions.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' By the way, if you two don't have anywhere else to be, then how about giving me a hand?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... You mean... helping you out in the fields?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Yes. Professor Richter has never done this kind of work before, right? You even brought a lady out with you. Want to give it a try?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...!
| |
| | |

| |
| '''Scene 1: Road Around Town'''
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Professor Richter, help me with this one!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ... Okay.
| |
| | |
| Vyn receives a basket full of crops from Professor Xumen, then hands it to you.
| |
| | |
| Just as you're about to receive the basket...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Professor Richter, there's one more!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ... Ah! Okay...
| |
| | |
| [[File:Vyn "Cool Summer" CG1.jpg|300px|right]]
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Give it to me!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' You will get your clothes dirty.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's okay, I'll be fine. You, on the other hand...
| |
| | |
| You look at the muddy basket in his hands, then look at him.
| |
| | |
| lnsisting that you shall not go into the fields, Vyn frantically tries to help Professor Xumen alone.
| |
| | |
| His white shirt is stained with soil. There is mud stuck to his hand and legs.
| |
| | |
| There's no sign of any mud on you because all you're doing is receiving the basket from them on the road.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (It's my first time seeing him like this...)
| |
| | |
| No matter how many times you see him, it is not every day that you see Vyn working in the fields with his cuffs and pant legs rolled up...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Professor Richter, are you already tired? Do you need a break?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' No. This does not tire me.
| |
| | |
| Vyn says that, but you think that he is having a rough time having to do unfamiliar things in this environment.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), can you take this basket for me?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Ah! Sorry, I'll take it from you!
| |
| | |
| Realizing that you've been staring at him, you reach out your hands out awkwardly to receive the basket.
| |
| | |
| In just half a day, there are already baskets of crops next to you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (I'm really happy harvesting all these crops!)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (But, it's all thanks to his hard work... He's probably never done this kind of work before...)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Professor Xumen, it is hard for you to bend down, right? Leave that to me.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Heh, okay. Thank you.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps it is because his entire body is already in a mess, but Vyn finally gives in and devotes himself fully to the field.
| |
| | |
| Looks like keeping his clothes clean is a lost cause today ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (No. You can't laugh! There's a first time for everything. He's adapting well.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Dr. Richter is sacrificing his image for manual labor. I should be learning from him!)
| |
| | |
| Moments later.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Sorry, Professor Richter. I put you on the spot for asking you for help so suddenly.
| |
| | |
| Professor Xumen goes over to Vyn as he fills the basket.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' No. I am very willing to try things I have never done before.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' But, I don't think it's good to be all muddy in front of a lady.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' But, you can trust me. That lady won't care about these things.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hehe... young lady, want to come see the crops?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah? Do you need my help? Can I come down?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Professor Xumen, I'll handle it...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Professor Richter, I know why you two have come to see me today.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' You've helped me a lot with my mental illness. How about I return the favor?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Professor Xumen, Dr. Richter, I'm coming down...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Haha, okay! Take it slow.
| |
| | |
| Hearing Professor Xumen's call, you pick up the hem of your skirt and head down the road.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Here I come!
| |
| | |
| Entering the fields, the joy of harvesting is more enjoyable than waiting on the road.
| |
| | |
| Vyn looks at a loss as you walk over to them.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Careful with your dress.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Don't worry. I'll have to change when I get back anyways.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wow... What is that field of golden flowers? They're beautiful!
| |
| | |
| Vyn and Professor Xumen look in the direction of where you're pointing.
| |
| | |
| In the far distance, a plot full of golden flowers waves back and forth in the wind.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Those are canola flowers.
| |
| | |
| Not expecting Vyn to be the one answering you, you look up at him in surprise.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' This latitude allows canola and wheat to be harvested in the summer. Canolas bloom during this time.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Canolas? So this is when they bloom...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. There are many rural tourist attractions that use canola flower fields as their main attraction.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Not only can you harvest these types of crops in this season, but it is also important to sow them quickly while summer lasts.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Remember the people we saw out in the fields?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah! Some people were planting instead of harvesting.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Plants planted in the summer will be available for harvest in the autumn.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It is crucial to understand the planting cycle. There is not a moment to lose.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wow...
| |
| | |
| You stare at Vyn in awe.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps because you looked too shocked, for that also surprises Vyn and Professor Xumen.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' S-Sorry... I grew up in the city, so I don't know much about these...
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hahaha I see. Were there farms where Professor Richter lived?
| |
| | |
| Vyn shakes his head.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' There were not many farms near where I lived. However, there were many gardens.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (I used to think this was beneath him, but he even has knowledge about farming! Amazing!)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Is it because he likes gardening that he has an interest in plants and how they're planted?)
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hahaha. Professor Richter, it seems like the lady adores your erudition.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| Hearing Professor Xumen's words, you realize that you've been staring at Vyn for far too long again.
| |
| | |
| Flustered, you advert your gaze and look elsewhere. Vyn does the same and adjusts his glasses.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I try to learn as much as I can about plants.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh... OH.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| Seeing a smattering of another color on his face in your peripheral vision, you turn to look back at him.
| |
| | |
| There is a muddy print under his glasses.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Ah! He didn't notice that his hands were muddy when he adjusted his glasses! He got it on his face now!)
| |
| | |
| You pause for a moment before you take out the tissues from your bag.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... Don't move.
| |
| | |
| Faced with his surprised eyes, you reach your hand out towards his face.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| Vyn's surprised golden eyes grow wide.
| |
| | |
| However, he makes no move to avoid you despite his shock.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Good thing I brought tissues. Hold on, I'll be done soon.
| |
| | |
| Vyn finally realizes that there's mud on his face.
| |
| | |
| Finding it hard to meet your gaze, Vyn looks away.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Haha... youth sure is the best.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' I feel better spending time with youths. I already feel a few years younger just by looking at you two.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hmm? I can't wipe it off...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Thanks, (Name). I will wash the rest off when we return.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... So, you're going to tout the muddy print on your face until you get to wash it off?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I do not mind if you do not mind.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Eh?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah, I don't...
| |
| | |
| The atmosphere turns flirtatious with the following silence. You lower your head, not knowing where to look.
| |
| | |
| It is Professor Xumen's laughter that breaks this silence.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Okay, it'll be inappropriate for me to stay here if you two carry on.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' !!
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Heh... I know why you two came to see me today.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Eh? Professor Xumen, you know what we came here to ask you about...?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Yes. As thanks for helping me in the fields for so long, I will tell you about the "Yin and Yang Spring."
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Didn't the two of you come to ask about the "Yin and Yang Spring?"
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 4}}
| |
| '''Scene 1: Hotel Lobby'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Dr. Richter...?
| |
| | |
| You come down to the hotel lobby at 10PM. Besides the employees, there is no one else here.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Where did he go? I can't find him anywhere after dinner...
| |
| | |
| After you and Vyn helped Professor Xumen with his crops in the afternoon, the both of you returned to the hotel to wash up.
| |
| | |
| Vyn said he was going out after dinner. He didn't reply to any of the messages you sent.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (No matter what he's doing, it's too late for him to still be out. I should go look for him.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hello, do you know if the man with me has returned yet?
| |
| | |
| '''Hotel Manager:''' He's not back yet, but I saw him head in that direction.
| |
| | |
| '''Hotel Manager:''' That guest is very handsome. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay, thank you!
| |
| | |
| You head in the direction that the hotel manager said Vyn went.
| |
| | |
| You had a feeling that he would be sneaking out.
| |
| | |
| It was probably in the afternoon when Professor Xumen was explaining the "Yin and Yang Spring"...
| |
| | |
| '''Flashback'''
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Didn't the two of you come to ask about the "Yin and Yang Spring?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. I heard that it is a tourist attraction that can only be seen after the "Dragon King Rain."
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Well, speaking of that... I've tried many times, but I could never find it!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You couldn't find it? Why not?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Every five years, a rainstorm by the name of "Dragon King Rain" hits this town and lasts for days.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' "Dragon Leaving the Sea" is what the village elders call the intervals between rainy seasons. Though, the real reason for it might be the rain and terrain.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' "Dragon King Rain" fills the channels in the town with water to ensure that its irrigation water will not run dry.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh... No wonder it's been called the "Dragon King's Power."
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Yes. The excess water in the town will form two springs.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Due to the influence of the surrounding volcanoes, one will be hot and the other will be cold.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Is that why it's called the "Yin and Yang Spring"?
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Not only that. Think about it. If you put the two springs and two rivers together, what does it form?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Form...?
| |
| | |
| Although you hear Professor Xumen's description, you have no concept of it in your mind. You can only look to Vyn for help.
| |
| | |
| Vyn smiles, drawing an image on your hand.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' A circle with a bending line through it and two opposite dots...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh! The Yin and Yang fish in the Taichi diagram!
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Correct! That's how it is and all, but the location of the two springs are completely random.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' The village elders say that if you find both springs in a day, the "Dragon King" will solve your biggest problem.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Our biggest problem now is that all the roads out of town have been flooded...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If we find the springs, I'll ask the "Dragon King" to take his powers back and clear the roads. I want to go to tourist attractions!
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Hahaha, our town isn't small. It would be a miraculous feat if you found even one of the springs.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' Other tourist attractions will be there all year round. This special event only occurs once every five years.
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' If you stay a few days, you'll be able to see the "Dragon King Offering Event." It's very interesting.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yea...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''Present'''
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Road Around Town'''
| |
| | |
| Following the hotel manager's instructions, you arrive at the road that goes around the town.
| |
| | |
| Cicadas sing in the summer night. You look up to see a night sky full of stars, something that you can't see in the city.
| |
| | |
| Summer evenings like this should be spent leisurely and comfortably, but...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Dr. Richter... Where are you...
| |
| | |
| You walk along the road under the light of the street lamps.
| |
| | |
| After walking for about a hundred meters, a strange sound comes from the distance. It sounds like the clanking of metals.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What is that...?
| |
| | |
| After walking a few more steps, you finally see the figure of the person you've been searching for.
| |
| | |
| He pedals with difficulty under the night sky. After a short distance, he stops and stabilizes the bicycle by standing up.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Ah! He's...!)
| |
| | |
| He came out here to avoid you, so that you wouldn't see him like this. You immediately duck and hide somewhere away from the light.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (That's the bicycle from Professor Xumen's house! Professor Xumen actually lent it to him...)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Looking at Dr. Richter, it seems like he's learning how to ride the bicycle?)
| |
| | |
| Vyn rides further on the bicycle before stopping again. He manages to get a little further than before.
| |
| | |
| Just as you were quietly cheering for him, his bicycle tilts fiercely in one direction.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' !!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Ah...!)
| |
| | |
| You almost cry out.
| |
| | |
| Fortunately, Vyn extends his legs in time to stop the bicycle from tipping over sideways.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Whew... that scared me. Good thing he didn't fall over.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (He probably doesn't want to be seen learning how to ride a bicycle...)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Maybe I should wait for him back at the hotel...?)
| |
| | |
| Worried that Vyn might get hurt during practice, you keep yourself hidden, not moving a single muscle.
| |
| | |
| However, your fears don't come true. Vyn learns how to ride the bicycle much faster than you expected.
| |
| | |
| After about half an hour, he is able to steer the bicycle smoothly without falling over.
| |
| | |
| You decide to return to the hotel when he finally gets the hang of making turns on the bicycle.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Okay! It's going smoothly. Dr. Richter's a realy<!--sic--> fast learner!)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (But, why does he suddenly want to learn how to ride a bicycle out of nowhere?)
| |
| | |
| You head back to the hotel quietly. You leave a message for Vyn, telling him to sleep early, before laying on the bed and closing your eyes.
| |
| | |
| Morning. The next day.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Outside the Resort Hotel'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Dr. Richter is gone again?)
| |
| | |
| When you wake up the next morning, you see that Vyn has left you a message.
| |
| | |
| "Sorry for the late reply. I will be out this morning. Can you meet me at the entrance of the hotel after breakfast?"
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (First, learning how to ride a bicycle. Now, you're nowhere to be found. What are you planning, Dr. Richter?)
| |
| | |
| As the thought settles, you see a familiar figure pushing a bicycle towards you in the distance.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah, over here!
| |
| | |
| Vyn stops in front of you with the bicycle.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sorry. I did not see your messages last night.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's okay. Where did you go? And what are those things inside the basket...?
| |
| | |
| You point at the bicycle's basket.
| |
| | |
| There are many dewy fresh fruits and vegetables in the basket. Their bright colors makes them look appetizing!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' They're pretty! And they look delicious! Where are they from?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I went to Professor Xumen's this morning. He helped me pick these from his vegetable garden.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I see... but why did you specially go pick these?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Let us say that these are snacks for our trip.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| You stare at Vyn in surprise with widened eyes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' We have a big problem that requires solving, do we not?
| |
| | |
| '''Flashback'''
| |
| | |
| '''Professor Xumen:''' The village elders say that if you find both springs in a day, the "Dragon King" will solve your biggest problem.

| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh. You mean the flooded roads?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I was only kidding!
| |
| | |
| It was just a random remark, but had taken it seriously.
| |
| | |
| Though you are embarrassed by your childish remark, his actions warm your heart.
| |
| | |
| Suddenly, Vyn leans down towards you.
| |
| | |
| Silvery white hair gently sweeps the hair from your forehead. His golden eyes radiate a warm light.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' You did say it after all. I do not plan on taking it as a mere joke.
| |
| | |
| He lowers his voice and says so in such a tender manner, as if trying to seduce you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' So, let us make it our travel plan...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' And go look for it together.

| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), are you ready?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah! Ride slow.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Alright. Off we go.
| |
| | |
| You sit on the back of the bicycle. One hand is holding the basket while the other hand is holding onto him.
| |
| | |
| The scenery on both sides begin to fade away. The breeze lifts your hair as you hold onto your straw hat to keep it on your head.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Vyn "Cool Summer" CG2.jpg|300px|right]]
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Whoa...!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' What is it? Am I riding too fast?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Not at all. It's just been a while since I sat on the back of a bicycle. It takes some getting used to.
| |
| | |
| As you hear his gentle laughter, your mood brightens.
| |
| | |
| As you gaze at his back, the scenes from last night flashes before your eyes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (He only learned how to ride a bicycle last night, but it's a really stable ride.)
| |
| | |
| Although Vyn is very gentle for the most part, you know that he's anxious to outdo others.
| |
| | |
| Even if it's something he's not good at, he won't easily concede.
| |
| | |
| It's as if there's no such thing as "losing" in his dictionary.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (In fact, "talent" is a myth. People just don't see the hard work others put in.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Dr. Richter, I saw it this time.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), did you say something?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah! N-Nothing...!
| |
| | |
| You accidentally spoke what was on your mind...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' l was humming. You misheard... Ah!
| |
| | |
| Then, the bicycle goes over a pebble on the road, causing the bicycle to shake a bit.
| |
| | |
| You subconsciously tighten your grip on his shirt and lean into his back.
| |
| | |
| The warmth of his skin permeates through his shirt, giving you a sense of security.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...Sorry. I did not watch the road carefully enough.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah, sorry! I must have distracted you with my chattering.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I'll stop talking. So you can focus on the road.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' That is okay. I wish for you to talk to me.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I feel that I would ride better if I hear your voice.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Eh...?
| |
| | |
| When your father first taught you how to ride a bicycle, you would ask him to stay with you for the safety his presence provided.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps it is encouraging for someone to accompany you when you're just a beginner.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay! The scenery is beautiful. I'll just talk to you about whatever comes to mind.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Okay.
| |
| | |
| You hear the sound of the bicycle bell as you gaze at the farmlands stretching across the horizon.
| |
| | |
| The cool breeze brushes against his silver hair, bringing a refreshing smell mixed with the fragrance of grass along with it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (This is how you should spend your summers!)
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn continue to ride along the town road.
| |
| | |
| You reach out with your hand to grab the wind, as if trying to capture this moment.
| |
| | |
| Eventually, the passing scenery before your eyes gradually fades...
| |
| | |
| In this town, isolated from the world, his warm back is the only real and tangible thing to you...
| |
| | |
| Let the road be a little longer...
| |
| | |
| With you on the back, Vyn rides along the road around the town.
| |
| | |
| He occasionally stops to look at the streams, making notes of their direction on his phone.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' This small stream branches out somewhere from the town. It redirects the overflowing water after the rain into the main channel.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' There were several streams we saw earlier that were the same.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. If we can follow it upstream and find where they converge, then we will be able to find one of the springs.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The locations of these streams are hard enough to remember. Tracing the back flow will be much more difficult...
| |
| | |
| Frustrated, you look up at Vyn. To your surprise, he smiles at you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Trust me, okay?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I will definitely fulfill what I promised.
| |
| | |
| The two of you spent the better part of the day riding in circles around town.
| |
| | |
| On his phone, Vyn has drawn a complicated river chart. In short, it is something that you can never attempt to understand...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You really are amazing...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If I am ever stranded on a deserted island with you, I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost.
| |
| | |
| Having heard what you said, Vyn smiles and adjusts his glasses.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Of course. With me by your side, there is no way I will ever allow you to be in such a dangerous situation.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' l have a rough location of where one of the springs is located. It is probably right here.
| |
| | |
| Vyn points at one of the converging points of the streams.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Let us check out it out. If it right, then we should be able to find the location of the other spring quickly enough.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay!
| |
| | |
| The location Vyn marked was in the middle of town. The two of you get down from the bicycle and head over on foot.
| |
| | |
| About ten minutes later, you and Vyn are able to find the steaming spring in a small forest.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 1: Hot Spring'''
| |
| | |
| The temperature in here is slightly higher than outside.
| |
| | |
| Yes. This should be the hot spring that represents "Yang" in the "Yin and Yang Spring."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I can't believe we found it! It's really impossible to find unless you know where to look.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' No wonder Professor Xumen said that we'd be lucky to find it in a day. I knew that you'll be able to find it!
| |
| | |
| Hearing your words, Vyn smiles from ear to ear.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It looks we have taken a huge step towards solving our problem.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Solving our problem...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ahh, I was only kidding! You don't have to take it seriously...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Actively wanting to solve problems proves that you have expectations for the future.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Regardless of the credibility of the legend, a good expectation deserves a proactive response.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' So, I am just trying to respond to those wonderful expectations of yours.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Dr. Richter...
| |
| | |
| Perhaps it's the steam from the hot spring, but your cheeks and ears start burning.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' L-Let's go find the next spring...!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' We still have to find the location of the cold spring. The sun is setting soon, so we should hurry and be on our way.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Alright.
| |
| | |
| After leaving the hot spring, Vyn confirms a few points. Then, he begins searching for the cold spring.
| |
| | |
| However, Vyn makes an error in determining its location. The sun sets, but the both of you have yet to find it.
| |
| | |
| Eventually...
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Woods'''
| |
| | |
| You and Vyn are in one of the mountain forests on a part of terrain that looks like a cluster of hills.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Um... I think...
| |
| | |
| Walking next to Vyn, you turn on your phone to look at the time as you speak. It's already 9PM.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Why don't we go back the way we came from...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| After investigating for the whole afternoon, Vyn is very certain that the cold spring is somewhere in these woods.
| |
| | |
| But, these woods are much larger than the ones before. And with no obvious markers...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sorry... I promised that we would not get lost...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's not your fault. Who knew that there were this many streams in the forest? It's easy to get lost.
| |
| | |
| We planned on following the stream upstream to find its source, but it branched off too many times.
| |
| | |
| After walking around in circles a few times, even Vyn is unsure which way the rivers are flowing.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Don't worry. I'm happy that we were able to find at least one spring today.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's late now. We can come back for the other spring tomorrow.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' But, the professor said that we had to find both springs in one day.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's just the legend. We're here to have fun, not rely on some legend to solve our problem.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I was really kidding. I'm happy that you were willing to look for it with me.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Thank you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 6}}
| |
| '''Scene 1: Woods'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Thank you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| Unsure of why Vyn is suddenly thanking you, you look at him in confusion.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' You accepted my invitation to come to this town, and we ended up trapped here by the rainstorms.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I thought that we could at least have fun here if we could not leave the town...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's not like we have to find both springs to have fun. The journey is more important than the destination!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Besides, I just wanted to spend some time with you. It doesn't really matter where we go...
| |
| | |
| You suddenly realize the hidden meaning behind your words. Surprised, you cover your mouth with your hands.
| |
| | |
| You make contact with Vyn's deep golden eyes and your cheeks grow warmer.
| |
| | |
| You begin to stutter and stumble over every word you say.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... That... I mean...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Shh...
| |
| | |
| Vyn suddenly crouches down, placing his warm finger to your lips. You hold your breath.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Listen.
| |
| | |
| You freeze at his words, frantically turning away from his golden eyes to survey your surroundings.
| |
| | |
| In your hurry to find the destination, both of you had neglected the sound hidden underneath the cries of the cicadas in the summer night.
| |
| | |
| Somewhere in the distance, you can hear the sound of flowing water.
| |
| | |
| Different from that of a stream, this one sounds like a small waterfall.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah...! Could that be...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Let us go take a look.
| |
| | |
| Vyn naturally takes your hand in his and begins heading in the direction of the sound.
| |
| | |
| As he holds tightly onto your hand, you feel your cheeks getting warmer, but you let him lead you.
| |
| | |
| After walking past a few large trees, the two of you finally see the spring hidden deep in the forest.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Cold Spring'''
| |
| | |
| In the quiet summer night, the water flows quietly from the spring towards the streams to afar.
| |
| | |
| The clear spring water reflects the moon. You scoop up the spring water with your hands, letting it drip back down through your fingers.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' This must be it. I can't believe we found it!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It looks like we were making circles around this area, but never noticed the sound of running water coming from here.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I wonder if anybody was able to find both springs in the same day like us.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If the legend is true, then please hear my prayers and let us leave town tomorrow.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Though, that's probably impossible. The flooded roads won't dry out that quickly.
| |
| | |
| Vyn quietly gazes at the spring water. You can see the refracted light wavering in his bright eyes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' By the way, do you have any problems you want solved? How about I give you this opportunity?
| |
| | |
| Vyn hesitates for a moment before shaking his head.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I am okay... It is late. We should head back.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... Wait!
| |
| | |
| You reach out to stop Vyn. He turns around and looks at you in surprise.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It took us forever to find this cold spring. We should cherish this opportunity!
| |
| | |
| You've been riding the bicycle all day. Your feet must be tired, right?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I want to do something before we go! Stay here with me for a while more!
| |
| | |
| You tell Vyn to sit by the spring. Taking off your shoes and socks, you put your feet in the spring.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' When I get tired from walking on a vacation, I like to find a place with a cool spring and let my feet cool off.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It helps relieve fatigue. You should try it.
| |
| | |
| The cold water flows over your ankles, washing away the heat and fatigue. You stretch comfortably.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It is not as warm at night, and the spring is cold... It would be bad if you caught a cold.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You won't. Just try it out and you'll see!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Sure.
| |
| | |
| Vyn follows your example and puts his feet into the spring.
| |
| | |
| Well? I didn't lie to you, right?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. Both the temperature of the spring water and the water flow are good. It is suitable for resting and cooling off.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hehe... I know a way to cool you off even faster!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ... Hmm?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Take this!
| |
| | |
| You splash the cool spring water in Vyn's direction...
| |
| | |
| [[File:Vyn "Cool Summer" CG3.jpg|300px|right]]]
| |
| Vyn doesn't respond for a long time. You look at him in slight confusion.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What's wrong...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), do you regret not being able to go to the tourist attractions as planned?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Regret...?
| |
| | |
| You think for a moment, then shake your head.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I did think about this when you were away returning the bicycle.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Do I regret not being able to reach our destination for this trip?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I don't think so. Rather, I think that I probably wouldn't have had so much fun if none of this had happened.
| |
| | |
| Vyn's eyes widen, slightly taken aback by your response.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If it wasn't for the rainstorm, we wouldn't have witnessed this event that only occurs once every five years.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' And I wouldn't have been able to ride on the back of the bicycle...or gone with you to the farm.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The tourist attractions will always be there. But these experiences cannot be replicated...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So, I don't feel regretful about it. If possible, I hope we can go on vacations together again in the future!
| |
| | |
| After saying everything you wanted to say, you feel relaxed.
| |
| | |
| You finally understand that you felt a sense of regret not because you were sad that vacation was over...
| |
| | |
| But, because the time that you can spend with him in this town has come to an end.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The most important thing about travel is not the destination, but the journey and the people you meet along the way.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I believe I can create more memories like these if I'm together with you!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes.
| |
| | |
| Vyn seems to feel relieved, smiling at you in contentment.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It makes me happy that you think that way.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I feel the same way as you. The value of this tripe<!--sic--> lies not in the destination, but the journey.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I wish that we could enjoy this vacation a while Ionger.
| |
| | |
| Vyn looks down and chuckles.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It looks like Professor Xumen was right. The legend really is true.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I made everything out to be way too complicated than it really is from the start.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I should not obsess over the results... but rather, enjoy the process.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| Vyn's deep voice, accompanied by his soft words, gently linger by your ear.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' I cannot control the results. However, I will not allow any regrets to be left behind in the process.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' This is... my answer.
| |
| | |
| Your heart pounds in your ear. You feel the temperature in your cheeks rising.
| |
| | |
| It is now that you realize, that even though you don't really know why, he is the reason why you're flustered...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' We should head back to the hotel. I will need your help packing later.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Oh... Oh, okay.
| |
| | |
| Both of you turn and walk towards Vyn's room.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' As we leave town, we will pass by the farmlands. Let us say goodbye to Professor Xumen one more time. And...
| |
| | |
| Smiling, the two of you look at each other. You instantly guess what he wants to say.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Tell him to make good use of that bicycle!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes.

| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Haha... I'm just kidding. I can't ask you to do that...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Was it just a joke? I was actually looking forward to it.
