Thor - Prince of Asgarz - Main Story

Chapter 1 - An Encounter with a Monster

Kingdom of Weapons, Asgarz, April...

As I was in front of the ring that was reflecting the sunlight, I gave a prayer. When the dazzling light subsided a little, over there was... 

??: ...Did you wake me up? 

A petite man with a large hammer in his hand was looking at me coldly. 

MC: Yes, that's right. 

Thor: I see... I'm Thor. You are? 

MC: I'm MC. Um, Thor-kun, you...

??: Gyaoooooh!

MC: Eh... What was that!? 

Thor: A monster!

To protect me, Thor-kun stepped forward to where the voice was coming from. Then, huge lizard-like monsters appeared... 

MC: ...!

Thor: Tsk... Protecting you from this many... I'm at a disadvantage. Let's pull back at once. 

As soon as he said that, Thor-kun grabbed my wrist. 

MC: Eh? 

Thor: I said pull back, you slow woman! Just hurry and run!

MC: O-Okay...!

The monsters roared loudly as they followed us. Although... 

Thor: Over here!

Thanks to Thor-kun making use of the terrain while running, the monsters' voices became slightly distant. So, we somehow managed to escape unharmed... 

Chapter 2 - The Divine Weapon

After we escaped from the monsters, we entered the inside of the castle wall. Among the towering wall, there was a town filled with liveliness, where lots of people are going back and forth. 

MC: What a really nice town. But, why is it behind a castle wall...? 

Thor: To defend against monster attacks. Monster strikes are when large amounts of huge ferocious monsters appear, so severe circumstances are low. It's basic knowledge that we must protect with our lives whenever that happens. 

MC: Then, what you're saying is that life's not exactly peaceful...? 

Thor: Yeah. That's why, we royals and those who have strength, take down monsters. 

As Thor-kun was walking beside me, he stopped his feet and turned his head. 

Thor: Look. The strength that protects this kingdom. 

When he said that, Thor-kun strongly held the handle of the large hammer that he has. Then, the next moment... 

MC: This is... 

Thor-kun's body became surrounded by a faint light. Although, in an instant, the light silently disappeared. 

Thor: This is Mjolnir. The divine weapon that was made by my family. I've inherited this Mjolnir to take down Asgarz's archenemy, Jörmungandr. 

MC: Wow... 

I recalled that mystical scene just now... 

///Choices///

- It looks like it can't take down anything (☼)

MC: With Mjolnir, you can take down anything. 

Thor: Of course. That's my reason for living. 

Thor-kun looked at Mjolnir strongly... When he said that, his tone sounded oddly vague. 

- It looks like it can protect anything (☽)

MC: With Mjolnir, you could protect anything. 

Thor: Yeah, I swing Mjolnir to protect this kingdom. Since it's my sworn duty as the chosen one. 

As Thor-kun held the handle of Mjolnir, he said that so naturally. 

///Choices///

(Come to think of it...) 

MC: Is Jörmungandr some kind of monster? 

Thor: Yeah... It's a snake monster that can take down any opponent and the only thing that we can't beat. It's my duty to take it down. 

After saying that, Thor-kun looked at me. 

Thor: Jörmungandr will be coming soon. So, it's dangerous to go outside right now. 

 MC: Eh? 

Thor: I know since I've been fighting with it for a long time. So... You can stay in the castle until things have calmed down. 

MC: But... 

Feeling guilty, I became hesitant to speak. 

Thor: You don't need to hold back. It'll be too late if something happens. 

MC: Thor-kun... 

(Being so considerate like this, Thor-kun is so kind.) 

I opened my mouth to say thanks to Thor-kun. Although... 

Thor: Like what I said earlier, there are some strong men around here, but they don't know how to deal with monsters. A slow woman like you would instantly get eaten by monsters. 

MC: Eh...? 

When Thor-kun said that coldly, I said that in surprise. Then, Thor-kun moved his gaze away from me and looked up at the distant sky...

Thor: Just be good and don't do anything unnecessary. You're pretty much my benefactor after all. Until I take down Jörmungandr with Mjolnir, you can make yourself at home. 

(That's...) 

Even those words were roughly cold. Although, among them was an unimaginable faint kindness... 

Chapter 3 - A Lonely Back

A few days later since I've started staying in Asgarz... 

King: Really, it's thanks to you that he was saved. 

MC: It was nothing. I didn't do anything special... 

King: No. If it weren't for you, who knows what would've happened... 

Thor: ... 

As the benefactor that saved Thor-kun, the people in the castle welcomed me... With the kindness of the royal couple, his parents, I've spent many days without any inconveniences. 

King: There's no other person that can defeat Jörmungandr except for Thor. 

Queen: Yes. Thor is Asgarz's hope... When I heard that we got attacked by dream eaters, it felt uncomfortable to live here. 

Guard 1: With Thor-sama around, there's nothing to be afraid of!

Guard 2: Since it's Thor-sama, Jörmungandr will be taken down!

The people in the audience room were all highly praising Thor-kun... 

MC: You're amazing, Thor-kun. 

Thor: For what? 

MC: Well... 

///Choices///

- For being so reliable (☼)

MC: To be relied on by so many people like this... 

Thor: Of course. It's because of my true strength after all. 

Thor-kun's brow didn't move at all as he said that. 

- For all these expectations (☽)

MC: To be burdened with everyone's expectations...

Thor: That's because I was chosen by Mjolnir. There's no one else worthy of that. 

When Thor-kun said that, he brushed up his hair. 

///Choices///

Although... 

Thor: ...The future of this kingdom hangs on me. I have to do it. 

MC: Eh...? 

After Thor-kun murmured that, he walked away with his back facing me. He looked somewhat lonely from behind... 

(Am I imagining things...?) 

It felt like a small lump was left within my heart... 

......

A few hours later... 

(The moon is so pretty...) 

After everyone went to sleep, I couldn't sleep somehow and went to the courtyard for a little fresh air. Although, at that moment... 

(What was that sound...?) 

When I noticed a fast-moving sound, I walked towards it. Then... 

MC: Thor-kun...? 

Underneath the moonlight, Thor-kun was swinging Mjolnir around greatly. 

(Wow... To think that Thor-kun had this much strength...) 

Every time he strongly swings Mjolnir at his height, Thor-kun's sweat shined brightly. Despite his intense form, he looked really beautiful... For some reason, he seemed really dignified. 

(Does he do special training to meet up with everyone's expectations? But...) 

///Choices///

- Looks hard (☽)

(Somehow, it looks a little hard...) 

Thor-kun gritted his teeth as he swung Mjolnir. As time passed, the amount of sweat increased as it went down his forehead. 

- Looks troubling (☼)

(It looks really troubling...) 

Thor-kun's breathing was all ragged from swinging the large Mjolnir. Even so, he continued his special training without taking any breaks. 

///Choices///

As I kept a close eye on him...

Thor: ...How long were you watching? 

Thor-kun stopped his movements and turned towards me with a glare. 

MC: Ah... I-I'm sorry... 

(He noticed me...!) 

As I was panicking, Thor-kun looked at me coldly. 

Thor: Are you going to say that you're worried about my body? 

MC: That's...

Thor: My body isn't weak enough to make you worried. If you have the time to think of something unnecessary, just go back to your room and sleep. 

After saying that coldly, Thor-kun turned his back on me and swung Mjolnir. Although, he looked somewhat lonely from behind... 

(...Thor-kun, I wonder if he has always been working hard by himself. Even though it sounds like he's saying that I'm doing something unnecessary, there must be something I can do...) 

Underneath the beautiful moon, as I watched Thor-kun continue swinging Mjolnir seriously... I continued to think about doing something for him... 

Chapter 4 - First Smile

The next day after seeing Thor-kun going through some special training in the courtyard at night... Today, I boldly approached Thor-kun as he was swinging Mjolnir by himself. 

MC: Thor-kun. 

Thor: ...? What, it's you. 

Thor-kun took a glance at me in annoyance. 

Thor: Do you need something? 

MC: Here, if you'd like... 

Feeling a little nervous, I held out some sandwiches that I made in the kitchen to Thor-kun. 

Thor: Eh...? ...What are you doing? 

Just as Thor-kun unusually widened his eyes in surprise, he immediately went back to making his usual expression. Towards him, I...

///Choices///

- It'll make you stronger (☼)

MC: It'll make you stronger... I think it's important to make food for the body. 

Thor: ...You can think that much from the start. 

Thor-kun sighed in annoyance. 

- I thought that you would be tired (☽)

MC: I thought that you would be tired... During times like that, eating some food would be the best thing to do. 

Thor: I can make that kind of decision by myself. You don't need to worry about that. 

Thor-kun made an annoyed look. 

///Choices///

Thor: I was fine with yesterday and today, you're following me too much. 

MC: That's not what I'm... 

Thor: Listen, just leave me alone. Go do that sort of thing for the other guys. 

After saying that as if he was rejecting me, Thor-kun left soon after. Then, at that moment... 

Guard 1: Thor-sama is really annoying. Did you hear about the battle the other day? 

Guard 2: Yeah. A huge monster suddenly appeared and he dealt with it by fighting it by himself as usual. 

Guard 3: He's so strong. It's obvious that he doesn't need anyone to help him. 

Guard 1: I guess so. We'd probably be a burden to him... 

The gossiping voices became slightly distant. 

(...Does he really not need anyone's help? No matter how strong he is, fighting alone is...) 

I remembered how lonely he looked from behind. 

MC: Also, earlier... 

The unusual expression that he got rid of from when I handed him the sandwiches. 

(I could be imagining things, but... I'll try bringing some to him again tomorrow.) 

Feeling like I saw a bit of his heart, I left from there with the sandwiches that he didn't accept...

......

A few days later since then... 

Thor: You're here again... How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need them until you're satisfied? 

MC: But, you haven't eaten anything since this morning, right? 

Thor: ... 

During these past few days, we had the same conversation with each other many times now. 

(This situation, looks like it was no good today either...) 

Although, just as I was about to give up...

(Huh...?) 

As Thor-kun had his back facing me in annoyance as usual, he silently wiped his sweat off. Then, after a very long silence... 

Thor: I can make my own decisions on what to do with my meals... Despite that I've told you that many times now. 

Thor-kun sighed as if he has become fed up... 

Thor: ...Seriously, you're such a stubborn woman. 

With a chuckle, he smiled a little. 

MC: ...!

My heart throbbed loudly from Thor-kun's smile. 

(He's smiling... for the first time?) 

Even so, he didn't accept the sandwiches as usual in the end, but... 

(I'll make them again tomorrow.) 

As I felt a warmth dwelling within my heart from seeing Thor-kun's smile for the first time, I secretly made that decision... 

Chapter 5 - The Reason Behind His Stubbornness

Within the warm sunlight that was shining down, Thor-kun continued his training today as well. 

Thor: ...You came here again? 

(Eh...?) 

When Thor-kun puts Mjolnir down, he approached me. 

(Despite that he spoke to me from afar yesterday...) 

Even so, my heart strangely throbbed. 

MC: It's about time for lunch, so... If you'd like, please eat these. 

Thor: You... How much of a stubborn woman are you? Haven't you thought of giving up already? 

As I held out the sandwiches to him, Thor-kun made an annoyed look. 

///Choices///

- I want to be with you (☽)

MC: Yes. I know that you have your own way of doing things, but I want to be with you... 

Thor: You want to be with me? Why? 

MC: ...That's... 

On what to do with these feelings... I have a clear answer, but I kept my words in. 

- I want to help you (☼)

MC: Yes, I want to be of some help to you no matter what... 

Thor: Even if I say that you're being a bother? 

MC: That's... 

When Thor-kun said that coldly, I couldn't bring myself to say anything else. 

///Choices///

MC: ...I thought that you dislike having me around, so I wanted to do this much at least. Please eat them later. You'll bring out more strength when you're full. 

Once I pushed the sandwiches into Thor-kun's hands, I turned around. Then, at that moment. 

Thor: ...Wait. 

MC: Eh?

Along with saying that to stop me, he grabbed my wrist. 

MC: Thor-kun...? 

Thor: You, why do you go that far to meddle with me? Don't you feel like giving up from me talking to you like that all the time? 

Thor-kun was looking at me with his sharp eyes... Him being like that made me silently open my mouth as if I was going to tell him everything that was in my heart. 

MC: ...I don't want you to be alone. 

Thor: Eh...? 

MC: I don't know what kind of monster Jörmungandr is. Yet, I don't have the strength to take down a monster... But, even so... I don't like how you're burdened with everything by yourself. 

Thor: ...!

Thor-kun widened his eyes like never before. Although, after a long silence, he quietly moved his gaze away... 

Thor: ...You're a really strange person. 

As he told me that, Thor-kun's cheeks turned red a little with his voice sounding somewhat soft. Then... 

Thor: Guess it can't be helped... I'll eat them, the things that you've made. 

MC: Really? 

Thor: How can I tell a lie? Geez... I give up. Even though I thought that you were a slow woman, you're surprisingly gutsy. 

As Thor-kun's neatly ordered expression softened up, he sat down. At that moment.

Guard: Thor-sama! We've just got some news that Jörmungandr is approaching here!

Thor: What!? 

Thor-kun shouted that from the sudden news. Around us, a disturbing atmosphere has started hanging in the air...
