Adam - Prince of Trugville - Main Story

Chapter 1 - Reunion in the Flower Garden

When I entered the garden, I was met with various colorful flowers... Worried about Adam, who lost his memories, I went to Trugville.

(I heard from Ivan that Adam is here, but...) 

While I was walking on the small path with my gaze looking around, nostalgic memories were painfully rising altogether. 

(The first time I came to Trugville, I talked to Adam in this garden. Up ahead, there should be a white bench...) 

The next moment... 

Adam: ... 

Entering my vision, Adam and the one from my memories overlapped with each other. In a sunny spot, he was sitting on the bench while warmly gazing at the flowers that were treated with care. 

(It's like time has stopped since that day.) 

Adam's soft white hair looked transparent with the sunlight shining on it... As it looked like his fragile body was about to melt and disappear into the sunlight, I gasped and stopped my feet. 

Adam: Huh? 

Noticing my gaze, Adam widened his eyes as he looked over here. 

MC: It's been a while, Adam. 

Adam: MC, you came! We haven't seen each other since that day!

When Adam energetically got up, he lightly ran towards me. 

MC: ! Is it all right for you to be running!? 

Adam: Eh? Ah, that's right... It's because my body has always been weak. As you can see, I'm okay now, but I still don't have much stamina like everyone else. 

As he smiled, his pale cheeks turned into a light pink color. It was the first time I've seen his complexion look so well since we've first met. 

MC: I'm glad that you're all healthy. I've been so worried about you that I came to see you. 

Adam: I'm happy. I wanted to see you too. Actually... There's something I wanted to discuss with you. 

When the clouds that were blown from the wind blocked the sun, Adam's eye color turned dark. My heart started to become noisy from the troubled expression that he was showing all of a sudden... 

Chapter 2 - Sweet Teatime

On a white tray that had a delicate laced design, there were some cookies and scones... In Adam's room, I was treated to some warm tea and baked sweets. 

MC: What a subtle sweetness... This scone pairs well with the tea. 

Adam: Yzak-nii-san made them. It seems like they were my favorites, so he bakes them a lot. 

When he talked about the past so casually, the painful reality struck me again just now. 

(His memories still haven't returned.) 

Feeling a throbbing pain in my heart, I stopped drinking the tea. When Adam looked like he can guess what I was thinking... 

Adam: It's okay, MC. 

As he looked at me, there was a cheerful smile spread across his face. 

Adam: I love them too, even now. I recommend these cookies. They have nuts in them. 

Adam picked up a cookie with his slender fingers and brought it over to my mouth. 

MC: !

Adam: I want you to try them too. 

The smile of Adam's that I've known had a faint shadow in it, but... Right now, it was so bright that I couldn't take my eyes away from it. 

Adam: Here you go. 

Feeling embarrassed, I ate the cookie that he gave me. 

MC: It's aromatic and really good. 

Adam: Right? My brothers take them a lot. 

I caught a glimpse of their diary that holds a heartwarming feeling in it. 

MC: How's life been since you guys came back home? 

Adam: Ivan has been staying by my side all the time for a while, just to tell me all sorts of things. Like what's at home and stuff. Fllayg-nii-san has been helping me with studying in all kinds of subjects. If I end up focusing on my studies too much, Rufus-nii-san would take me out for a break. 

MC: What do you do on your breaks? 

Adam: Earlier, I was playing chess with Cyril. It was really exciting. 

As he made chess piece moving gestures, I... 

///Choices///

- I would like to join in next time (☼)

MC: That sounds like fun. I would like to join in next time. 

Adam: Of course, you're welcome to join. I'll be looking forward to it. 

Are you good at it, Adam? (☽)

MC: Are you good at it, Adam? 

Adam: I'm still learning. I want to get better in it from here on. 

///Choices///

Adam: Everyone's really doing a lot. Thanks to them, I've gotten pretty used to living here. 

Even though he's talking about his family, the way he was speaking made him seem like a different person that it was making me worried. 

MC: You said that there's something that you wanted to discuss with me, right? Could it be that something's troubling you... 

Adam: Yes... That's right.

The smile on Adam's face disappeared and after a short pause, he continued talking. 

Adam: Since I lost my memories, it feels like there's an empty hole in my heart. Everyone... Even the word, "brother", they all don't ring a bell. Really, I feel so bad, yet they're being so kind to me... 

When he sighed the next moment, the golden colored surface of the tea slightly rippled... 

Chapter 3 - Broken Off Memories

As huddled sounds were heard in the room, I sensed something being opened with a key... When Adam opened the desk drawer, he took out several books. 

Adam: I just happened to find them. 

When he returned to where I was sitting at, he placed them on the table. 

MC: These are... books? 

As I looked at the dark brown leather covers that had an ivy pattern on them, I slightly tilted my head to the side. 

Adam: These are some of the diaries that I've kept since I was little. I wanted to know more about myself, so I tried reading them. ...Days that are filled with a warm happiness and my family were all written in them. 

Adam gently narrowed his eyes as he placed his hand on top of a diary dearly. Although, his brow slowly began to furrow deeply. 

Adam: It's just that, compared to these peaceful days, my life was suffering... The pain from my power being too strong... The eternal insatiable hunger and thirst. 

Adam's pain was conveyed to me from the anguished expression he was showing...

///Choices///

- Touch his hand (☼)

Instead of using words, I softly placed my hand on top of Adam's hand. 

Adam: MC... You're so kind. 

At that moment, I felt him easing up from his hand. 

- Speak (☽)

MC: ...It must've been hard from just reading them. 

Adam: But, I calmed down a little from talking to you. I haven't spoken about this with anyone until now. 

///Choices///

Adam: Whenever I ask about the past, my brothers wouldn't talk about it much... After reading these, I can understand why. 

As Adam looked down, his long eyelashes made a shadow over his listless eyes. 

MC: Everyone doesn't want you to bear anymore heavy problems. 

Adam: I guess so... But, I can't stay like this. 

When he moved his gaze up with resolve, he looked straight at me. 

Adam: MC, I have something to ask of you. Wont' you help me in filling me up with memories? 

MC: Fill you up with memories? 

Adam: This diary stopped when I left this place. It said that I was heading to Fartet*...

*Forma's kingdom

(Adam hasn't left his home since that time...) 

As it felt like time had just stopped midway, my heart tightened from just looking at the diary. 

MC: Adam, do you want to know what happened after that? 

Adam: Yes... Because I can't bear it for some reason. For me, who has wanted to die, is now living peacefully like this. 

I understood Adam's feelings of wanting to know about the past and the pain of his brothers not telling him how they feel. 

(What should I do?) 

Unable to find the answer at the moment, time silently went by... 

Adam: ...You're hesitating, right? 

MC: When we were in Fartet before, you were in so much pain and so many things happened from there... 

Adam: It's okay. No matter what kind of past it is, I'll accept it. 

When he raised his voice eagerly, it strongly echoed. 

Adam: Ivan told me, "we must start from scratch", but I still haven't left the starting point. I need to proceed forward to the new future with my brothers. 

My heart throbbed greatly from Adam being filled with an unwavering resolve. That expression was the same as the one he made when he decided to hand over the dreams to Fllayg-san... 

(That unbelievable power that he had to endure continuously, he overtook it... I'm well aware of Adam's strength.) 

Adam: MC, please. 

As I was hesitating, I nodded deeply to Adam. 

///Choices///

-If it's for Adam (☽)

MC: If it's for Adam, I'll do anything. 

Adam: To think that you would go so far to say that... Thank you so much.

If I'll be of use (☼)

MC: If I'll be of use, I'll help you, Adam.

Adam: There's no one else that can do this except you. I'm sorry for saying something so unreasonable. 

///Choices///

When Adam softly made a relieved expression, he said that soon after. 

Adam: I want to see the scenes that I've forgotten. Once I'm taken there, I want to ask about what happened. 

MC: Okay, I understand. But, we can't go off traveling without telling your brothers. 

Adam: They'll be worried... But, they might understand. 

To drown out his uneasiness, Adam took a sip of the tea that became cold. After he said those words so naturally, it felt like the distance between him and his brothers' hearts was being shown... 

Chapter 4 - Chance Meeting 

After the rain, there were still some people scattered around town as the damp atmosphere had been washed away. When Adam and I left Trugville, we arrived at the Kingdom of Poison, Fartet. After discussing about traveling to follow his past, his brothers were perplexed at first, but...

-Flashback-

Adam: Everyone agreed to it because you were with me. It's all thanks to you. 

MC: No, it's because your determination got through to them.

Adam: I was so nervous about telling them how I truly felt... I'm glad that I confronted them about it honestly. 

-Flashback-

That moment when Adam took a step forward, his radiant smile became so bright. On the other hand, right now...

Adam: ...

As he was standing beside me, a sad look was being shown clearly on his face. 

Adam: No matter what kind of reason I had, it doesn't change the fact that I took away so many dreams in this kingdom. That's something I have to take responsibility for no matter what. 

Adam made a very tormented expression as it was reflected in the puddle. 

(Adam wanting to do this got through to everyone and they all entrusted him to me, but... I wonder if it's all right to talk about it.)

With wavering feelings about Adam, I...

///Choices///

-You don't need to bear all the responsibility by yourself (☽)

MC: Adam, you don't need to bear all the responsibility by yourself... 

Adam: I shouldn't make you worry. I need to pull myself together more. 

- If you want to stop... (☼)

MC: You can tell me anytime if you want to stop, okay? 

Adam: I can't break my promise with you. I need to accept everything properly. 

///Choices///

The moment Adam softly smiled, we heard footsteps in the puddles right near us. 

Townswoman 1: Are you... Adam-san? 

Before we knew it, we were surrounded by many people. 

Adam: Uh... Yes. 

Townswoman 1: Sorry for being so sudden... But, we just happened to see you. 

Townsman 1: Looks like our dreams have reached you safely. 

Adam: Dreams...? 

Unable to hide his bewilderment, Adam looked at me for help. 

MC: We still haven't talked about it. Everyone in the World of Dreams offered their dreams to you, Adam. They wanted to save your life. 

Adam: ! Everyone... 

The moment Adam held in his breath... From the crack of the thick clouds that were covering the sky, a ray of light shined directly at him. 

Adam: Is it all right for me to live... 

When Adam murmured that, he sounded very relieved. 

MC: Adam?

Adam: When I read those diaries, there's been some uneasiness in the corner of my heart... 

MC: We wanted you to live, Adam. Me and everyone else too. 

When I said that as we were surrounded by gazes, everyone nodded with unwavering smiles. 

MC: The people of this kingdom were the ones that spoke up first. 

Townsman 2: Don't forget this favor of us helping you when you're fighting. 

Adam: This moment, I wonder how happy the past me would've been from it... It's really frustrating that I can't remember. I... Thank you so much for giving me dreams. 

When Adam bowed deeply, everyone looked at him with warm gazes. As the sunlight was reflected on the remaining raindrops in town, they made the area shine like a jewelry box...

Chapter 5 - Remaining Feelings in His Heart

As the sky was filled with thousands of stars, it looked like a flower field of light... After getting in touch with Ster-san some time ago, Adam and I arrived at the Kingdom of Shooting Stars, Meteobel. 

Adam: MC... Wait. 

MC: ! What's wrong? 

When Adam lightly pulled my sleeve, I stopped. 

Adam: When we came to this kingdom, I felt some kind of pain... Something hot is rising inside my heart. What is this feeling...

As Adam placed his hand on his chest, he looked like he was breathing in pain. 

(This is where Adam told us his wish of wanting to live with his family... Even though he lost that memory, it's possible that it was remaining somewhere in his heart.) 

When I remembered that time, a constricting and suffocating feeling was in my heart. 

MC: We should take a little break before we talk about this. 

Adam: Yeah... 

We headed towards a nearby bench and sat down on it. As he frowned bitterly, I...

///Choices///

- Buy a warm drink (☼)

When I brought some warm herbal tea from a nearby stall, I gently handed it to Adam. 

MC: Here's some tea to calm you down. If you'd like, try drinking it. 

Adam: It has a soft flowery scent... It's soothing. Thank you. 

- Rub his back(☽)

When I placed my hand on Adam's back, I gently rubbed it. 

MC: It's all right to have a little fun, but...

Adam: Your hand is so warm. It's really reassuring. 

///Choices///

His complexion was still a little pale, but Adam returned a soft smile. 

Adam: I'm okay now. Can I hear you talk some more? 

MC: ...Sure. I'll talk until the very end. 

(Everything from Adam's true wish to when he lost his memories.)

As I talked about the past till the very end, many shooting stars ran through the sky...

......

From Adam's beautiful long eyelashes, a tear was showing a little...

Adam: MC, thank you... It must've been hard to talk about. 

Worried about me, he forced himself to smile. 

MC: Do you regret knowing about the past? 

Adam: I'm glad that I know about it. That's what I think from the bottom of my heart. There were so many hard and painful things, but... That's not all...

The next moment, big teardrops were being made in Adam's eyes. They emitted a bright clear light as if the stars were descending upon him. 

Adam: I finally know what this strong feeling that's filling my heart somehow. This is love... My feelings towards my brothers. I must've loved my brothers this much. 

Adam said each of his brothers' names as his warm voice was filled with love. 

MC: They've all been giving you so much love to you this whole time too. To a point that I can't even describe... 

Adam: The people in the World of Dreams, my brothers... All of their feelings were packed within me. 

When Adam made a smile that was overflowing with very strong emotions, he looked up at the beautiful starry sky. 

Adam: ...Not just my brothers. I received so much love from everyone. Especially you, MC. I... I'm so happy. 

Countless of shining stars were being reflected in those clear silver eyes...
