Yzak - Prince of Trugville - Main Story

Chapter 1 - Swallowed by the Darkness

When I opened my eyes, my vision was filled with complete darkness... 

MC: This is... 

??: Adam! Bro...! What the hell, I can't see a thing!

When I turned towards that echoing voice, there was Yzak vaguely standing out in the darkness. 

MC: Yzak? 

Yzak: Huh? You got dragged into this too, Princess? How did this happen? What happened to Adam, Bro and the others? Ivan was right in front of me just now!

Yzak looked even more rugged as he was getting irritated. 

(I understand how he feels... Why did something like this happen?) 

MC: At that time, I'm sure that... 

-Flashback-

Ivan: Adam... You need to take that ring off right now...!

Yzak: Don't! You'll get dragged into it too!

-Flashback-

Because of Adam's ring, his powers burst out into a black sinister smoke like fierce flames. Just as Ivan was about to get devoured by that power, Yzak risked his life to protect him... 

-Flashback-

Yzak: Uwaaah...!

MC: Yzak!

-Flashback-

(So, Yzak got swallowed up by the black haze...) 

Since I reached out to Yzak at that moment, even my body became enveloped by the expanding haze. After that, my vision became filled with darkness...

(Did I get swallowed up in the darkness too? Then, could Adam's power be in here...)

Yzak: Hey, Princess. What are you spacing out for? Anyway, let's look for a way out. I can't see a thing in here. 

MC: Okay... 

Not sure what's up ahead at the moment, we moved forward aimlessly in the darkness. At that moment... 

MC: ...!

Up ahead, there was a vivid flash of light. Before we knew it, we became engulfed by it and ended up falling into a white world...

Chapter 2 - Dreams and Reality

Over my closed eyelids, a pale light was shining... 

(What happened just now?) 

Feeling scared, I opened my eyes a little. 

What entered my vision first were a frying pan and a pot that were shining brightly and dully. 

MC: What!? 

Yzak: What the hell is this!? 

(This is... a kitchen?) 

Yzak: Isn't this our home! ...Why are we here? How the hell did we get back here!? 

MC: ! Then, are we in Trugville? 

(What's happening...?) 

Yzak: Weren't we just outside earlier!

MC: Y-Yeah...

Yzak: Then, how did we get here so suddenly...? Ah... Dammit. I can't tell what time it is. How long was I asleep?

Yzak lightly hit his head. I tried my best to remember, but I couldn't remember anything since that despairing event. 

??: Yzak-nii-san, good morning. 

MC: !

Just as we heard that soft voice, we immediately turned around. Showing himself in the hallway was Adam, who was in pain just a while ago, looking all calm. 

Yzak: Adam! You... Are you okay?

Adam: Yes. It seems like I'm feeling better today. 

Yzak: Today... Just a while ago, you...!

Adam: It's probably thanks to the dreams that Fllayg-nii-san bestowed to me. My body feels really healthy. 

Yzak: Bro did? But, Bro was going to sacrifice you...!

Adam: Sacrifice? Fufu, Yzak-nii-san, what kind of dream did you have? 

Yzak: Dream...? 

While Yzak and I were speechless, Adam shook his shoulders oddly. 

Adam: Yzak-nii--san, don't you know? Fllayg-nii-san really cares about me. 

Yzak: ...

(What Fllayg-san did to Adam...) 

-Flashback-

Fllayg: Let's create it together. Let's make Mother's wish come true. 

-Flashback-

(Really...?) 

Adam: Ivan is calling for me. I need to go. 

MC: Ah, wait...

Yzak: A-Adam!

Adam: What? 

Yzak: Uh... Aren't you hungry? I'll use all my skills to make something good, so take it easy!

When Yzak said that while holding back his uneasiness, Adam happily smiled and left. 

Yzak: ...It was all a dream... 

(Everything up till now was a dream? That's not it... I'm sure that right now and this place too.) 

Yzak: Hey, what do you want to eat? 

MC: Eh? But...

Yzak: Anyway, I need to get cooking. Adam and the others are probably hungry. You've been working hard for Adam too, so I need to thank you. 

MC: Wait, Yzak. This place is... 

Yzak: Cooking isn't a big deal for me, so I can make something good at least. 

MC: ...

As Yzak was looking so happy, I held in my words.

///Choices///

- Yzak's best dish (☽)

MC: Yzak's best dish... 

Yzak: I'll make you satisfied with my special dish. Nothing else will be just as good as that for you in return. 

- Anything (☼)

MC: Anything...

Yzak: Huh? Are you saying that you trust my skills? 

///Choices///

Yzak: Very well. Then, I need to go pick some veggies first. Princess, come with me for a sec. 

When Yzak pulled my arm, I started walking. As he looked so happy for some reason while he was walking in front of me, I couldn't bring myself to stop him... 

Chapter 3 - First Smile

Above the noisy grass, the clouds' shadows were slowy passing by... As Yzak was taking me to the forest while walking, I still couldn't get rid of my uneasiness. 

(What should I do...) 

The sensation of the plants touching my skin felt the same as the real thing, but I wanted to question the place we were in right now. 

Yzak: We're here. 

When Yzak stopped as he ignored the dried grass in front of his face, there was a quiet vast kitchen garden. 

Yzak: This is a nice color. 

With the tomato that he picked in his hand, Yzak happily smiled. 

Yzak: Adam likes tomatoes. So, I should pick a lot of them. Also, I should get this for Cyril. 

MC: Eggplant? 

Yzak: Yeah, it's troubling how he's always so picky. Today, I need to feed him lots of it. 

Contrary to what he said, Yzak-san gently narrowed his eyes. 

(I can tell that he really cares about his brothers...) 

MC: Do you tend to this field, Yzak? 

Yzak: Is there anybody else? 

When he asked that, I thought about his other brothers.

(Adam likes gardening, but it's hard for him because of his weak body. As for his other brothers...)

When I imagined it, it didn't feel right with any of them. Even so, I tried to answer.

///Choices///

- Rufus (☼)

MC: What about Rufus? 

Yzak: If I leave it to him, I'll end up doing it without realizing it. 

MC: ...I guess so. I can see that happening. 

- Ivan (☽)

MC: What about Ivan? 

Yzak: When I tried relying on him, the entire area became a tomato field afterwards. I can't make stuff that only Adam likes. 

///Choices///

Yzak: No one else can do it, except me. If I leave it to somebody else, it won't be decent. 

(True...) 

As I understood that, it showed on my face... 

Yzak: Haha, I can tell what you're thinking from just looking at you. Those guys are really hopeless. 

MC: !

(For Yzak to be smiling so happily like that.) 

Yzak: ...What? 

MC: This is the first time that I've seen you smile like that, Yzak... 

Yzak: !?

When I told him that honestly, Yzak's face turned red. 

///Choices///

- You looked so kind (☽)

MC: You looked so-

Yzak: H-Hold up, dammit! Don't go saying such shitty sweet words like I'm kind or something like that to me. 

- I'm surprised (☼)

MC: I'm surprised. Usually, uh... 

Yzak: You didn't know that I could do that since I'm always scowling? 

MC: Yes...

///Choices///

Yzak: It's obvious that I would smile at times like these! Did you think that I'm always furrowing my brow?

When he shouted that, his usual dignified self went away. 

(He's embarrassed.) 

As his cold cheeks were turning warm, Yzak turned away. 

((Would he be angry if I told him that I think he looks cute?) 

While I was waiting for him as he was stifling a smile, Yzak patted my shoulder with a sour look. 

Yzak: ...Enough already, let's hurry and get to harvesting. Here, if they look good, pick them properly. Like those carrots over there. 

MC: Ah, sure... Uh. 

(That's right, we're harvesting vegetables... But, how should I do it?) 

Yzak: Don't tell me that you don't know how to pick them? Even a princess can do this... Listen. First, hold the leaves firmly. 

When I held the carrot stems, Yzak placed his hand over mine as he was behind me. Suddenly, as I was in his arms, his breath that was touching my ear made my heart skip a beat. 

Yzak: Then, pull it like that!

MC: O-Okay!

Just as I pulled it strongly from his cue, I ended up falling onto Yzak's chest the next moment... 

Yzak: Uwooh!!

MC: !!

When I opened my eyes, I saw the clear sky. 

MC: H-Huh!? 

Yzak: You!

When I looked down, Yzak was covered in dirt as his eyes have widened. 

MC: I'm sorry!

Yzak: Geez, aside from my younger brothers, you're a lot to deal with. 

Just as I got up in a panic, Yzak paid no mind and smiled as he writhed in pain. As his voice echoed loudly in the clear sky, I smiled as well without realizing it... 

Chapter 4 - Touched by a Smile

By the time we returned to the castle, the sun was starting to set. Just as we returned after harvesting some vegetables, Yzak skillfully took in the laundry. 

MC: I'll help too. 

Yzak: Just sit over there. 

MC: But, since I'm here, I can't just sit down... 

Yzak: Do you really want to touch and wash those idiots' laundry?

When Yzak said those overly unexpected words, I blinked. 

(I think I'm starting to understand what Rufus meant when he called him sensitive.) 

As I watched him being so unusually kind, I chuckled and smiled without thinking. Then, just as I sensed something... 

Yzak: Were you thinking of something rude just now?

MC: ! That's not... 

Just as I was about to continue speaking, he interrupted me by placing his large hands on both of my cheeks. Yzak narrowed his eyes amusedly as he closed the distance. 

Yzak: Don't you get it, Princess? Just now, I could tell that you were thinking because of the weird face that you were making. 

MC: !

As he laughed, I felt like running away even more...

///Choices///

- Tell him to let go (☼)

MC: L-Let go of me... 

Yzak: What, you getting embarrassed? 

- Glare (☽)

Feeling embarrassed and frustrated, I glared at Yzak and he smiled again even more. 

Yzak: There's no need to get all angry, Princess. 

///Choices///

Feeling like he'll tease me even more if I squirm around, my face became hot as if steam was coming out from it. 

Yzak: You really are easy to tease. 

MC: !

After he smiled wholeheartedly, Yzak finally lets go of my cheeks. Instead, he softly caressed my cheek with his fingers. 

Yzak: It's going to get dark if I keep on talking to you like this. I've always been on my own, but... It's nice to have someone with me. 

(Yzak...) 

When he turned towards me with a gentle gaze, my heart throbbed sweetly. As the wind blew, it traced my warm cheeks. 

Yzak: Thanks for everything, Princess. 

MC: It was nothing... 

Yzak: ...I didn't have a reason to apologize for everything up till now, so I thought that I should thank you. 

The sunlight shined brightly on Yzak's warm smile. Although... 

-Flashback-

Yzak: What... What have we been doing all this time for!? Wasn't it for our brother!? Right, Bro!

-Flashback-

When I remembered how despair took over him, my heart felt like it was about to split painfully. 

(Even though he can't tell if this place right now is either a dream or reality...) 

Yzak: What the!? Are you crying? 

MC: Eh...

Yzak: Hey, are you still mad about earlier! I said sorry!

As his rough hand petted my head, my heart couldn't help, but ache... 

MC: No, I was just thinking a little... 

Yzak: Really? Well, guess that can't be helped. 

I wished for him to go back to making his usual cheerful smile that I wanted to see. That's all I felt in this ambiguous world... 

Chapter 5 - Wishing to Go Back

As the orange sunlight shined on the trees that were swaying peacefully... When Yzak looked up at the sunset, he softly looked at his hand again. 

Yzak: I don't think it's a good idea to change the world like what Bro is doing. I didn't want to take revenge on you guys for my family's happiness. I would've been fine with having you guys suffer the same way we did... 

(That's right... Just like the time when we met in Circo*.) 

T/N: Nero, Morta, Welger and Drole's kingdom

I could remember it as if it was yesterday, his powers that were filled with hatred and him laughing at us. 

MC: It can't be helped for you think that way... 

(Until I came to Trugville, I didn't know about their pain...) 

Yzak: Still.. I thought about it when Bro abandoned Adam. If it weren't for my idiotic thinking, that wouldn't have happened. It'd be nice if I could go back in time. Before we came here, I wanted to go back to before I met you guys and maybe change something... 

(Yzak...) 

Yzak: Getting all wishy-washy about the past... Isn't it pathetic? 

As he smiled self-mockingly, he looked so sad... 

///Choices///

- That's not true (☼)

MC: That's not true. 

Yzak: You don't need to lie. Rather, it's pretty refreshing to laugh it all off. 

- Anyone would think so (☽)

MC: Anyone would think so. 

Yzak: Admitting to that is pretty annoying, but... 

///Choices///

Yzak: Also, don't make that face.

MC: !

Yzak lightly flicked my forehead as I was looking down. 

Yzak: It's not like... I want to see you in pain right now. 

(...He's such a kind person.) 

As I felt a slight warmth coming from him, it lightly concealed my heart. 

Yzak: I don't know what to do from here on, things aren't getting any better. 

The moment Yzak murmured that... 

A strong light flashed in the sky. 

MC: Just now...?

A dusk-colored light floated up in the sky towards the moon. 

Yzak: What the? 

Ivan's Voice: Just a little bit more, Adam. Once the Moon Road appears, I'll go steal some dreams. 

(Ivan's voice...?) 

As something was happening, we ran towards that voice. 

When we arrived at a courtyard, there was Ivan and Adam looking up at the indigo-colored sky. 

Adam: Ivan... I've been curious about that dream I had... Why am I seeing her dreams? Could the Traumerei Princess save us? 

MC: ...!

(Those words just now...) 

I remembered all the conversations that I've had with those guys up until now. 

Yzak: What are you saying? Hey, Adam, Ivan. 

(The Adam and Ivan in front of us don't know me yet. That means...) 

MC: I knew it, this place... isn't real. 

Yzak: Huh? What do you mean? 

(I need to tell him...) 

-Flashback-

Yzak: Very well. Then, I need to go pick some veggies first. Princess, come with me for a sec. 

---

Yzak: Geez, aside from my younger brothers, you're a lot to deal with. 

-Flashback-

As I thought about Yzak's smile, my chest tightened in pain... 

(We can't stay here. Because Yzak wants to save his brothers too.) 

MC: Yzak... We're in a dream. When we got hit by Adam's power, it took us to a dream. 

I knew that Yzak was surprised from what I said. He looked around the area for just a bit. Then... 

Yzak: Yeah... That's right... This is my dream.

Yzak said that little by little as his voice was filled with sadness...
