Event Story – Cyber Animal Panic! ch.1
Fri, Jul. 16th, 2021 08:27 am ー This story takes place after the self-defense class, Marion and Ren's special mission.
Gast: Oh, worked up a good sweat today, huh, Ren.
Ren: ... What is this? I've smelled the scent somewhere before...
Gast: Aah, it's the tea Marion received from your special mission. He told me to do as I pleased, so I tried making some. Want a cup too?
Ren: ... Sure.
Gast: The aroma of Chinese tea is kinda calming, doncha think? Soothing, if anything...
Ren: ......
Gast: Is training going well?
Ren: It's the usual.
Gast: The usual, ya say... Isn't there, like, more to it?
Ren: Even if there were, why do I have to talk about it with you?
Gast: Come on, now... Since we're having tea together, might as well chit-chat a bit, no? We don't really have to talk about training, ya know.
Ren: ......
I think... my technical capabilities have improved. I've learned a lot of things during the last special mission, too...
But compared to Marion my stamina...
Gast: I know right, Marion's endurance is terrific.
He let me run with him before, and at the time I instinctively told myself how monstrous his stamina was.
Ren: Monstrous stamina... Well, I can kind of understand where you're coming from.
In order to be stronger, like Marion, I should also...
Gast: ...? "Like Marion" what?
Ren: Kh, I talked too much. I have to go.
Gast: Oi, oi, wait. You've already told me this much, just finish your sentence.
Ren: I'm going to shower. Don't follow me.
Gast: (Ren, that guy, he dropped something.
This is a map...? The roads have been highlighted.
The start and goal are in the same location; don't tell me this is...)
Ren: Oi, Gast, have I dropped a map around he... Ah.
Gast: Ah, haha, my bad. I wondered what that was and accidentally took a look.
Ren: Give it back!
Gast: Y- Yeah, here ya go. Sorry for looking without permission. What's that route for?
Ren: ... It's a roadwork route.
Gast: Roadwork?
Ren: When I talked with Marion about what I could do to increase my stamina, he recommended readwork and also gave me a route.
Gast: Heh, that Marion did...?
Nevermind, I see how it is now. So Marion's the one who came up with that route. No wonder...
Ren: "No wonder" what?
Gast: Eh-, no, I just thought it was a nice route.
(The itinerary is easy to understand and there are also signs and shops that stand out at every corner. This was carefully thought for Ren.)
Ren: This itinerary was made just for me, so I've been told I'll be able to run for certain.
Gast: Haha, I think this was definitely "made for you".
Ren: ... I don't know why, but by the way you talk I feel like you've been deceiving me for quite a while.
Gast: I- It's your imagination! Ah, right, if you're doing roadwork, can I go with you?
Ren: No way. This is my route, it wasn't made to match other people's running.
Gast: Ahー... I only said that 'cause you're terrible with directions, though...
Well, if he runs along the route, there shouldn't be problems, I guess.
