Carlo - Prince of Litoria - Main Story
Chapter 1 - While Having My Hand Pulled
Kingdom of Knowledge, Litoria, January...
Carlo: Move, move, move~!
In town during the afternoon, Carlo-san's loud voice was heard. His spiky hair was shining brightly underneath the sunlight.
MC: Carlo-san! Where are we going!?
After I arrived at this kingdom from being called by Carlo-san, I was out of breath due to him pulling my hand and running.
Carlo: We're almost there, so I'll tell you once we get there!
As soon as we've met, there was a place that he wanted to go to, so he pulled my hand and ran.
Townsperson A: Ah, it's Prince Carlo.
Townsperson B: Looks like he's in town again. Make sure not to cause any trouble to His Majesty so much~
The townspeople that we've passed by spoke to Carlo-san.
Carlo: Shut up! I'm not interested in the celebrity lifestyle! I'm going to live as a punk!
MC: A... punk?
Carlo: Yeah! I'm sure that you'll be interested in that too!
Carlo-san grinned like a mischievous child. That was when the punkish days with Carlo-san has begun...
Chapter 2 - Living as a Punk!
When Carlo-san took me to a street corner, where it was bustling with people... I covered my ears with my hands from how loud the sounds were.
MC: W-What...?
Lots of people were swaying around to the music. In front, I saw some people doing a guitar and drum performance.
MC: A band...?
Carlo: It's Story Drive! Aren't they so punkish!
When he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, he approached my ear.
Carlo: What do you think, MC! I wanted you to hear these guys!
///Choices///
- It's fun (☼)
MC: It's fun.
Carlo: Right? I had a feeling that you would like it!
- I don't get it (☽)
MC: I don't get it.
Carlo: Well, get used to it! I'm sure that you'll like them once you hear them!
///Choices///
Carlo: Also... Let's cut it out with the formalities! From now on, just call me, Carlo! Got it?
MC: Yes... Ah, okay, Carlo.
Carlo: That's it! That's the spirit!
When Carlo smiled happily, I started enjoying myself as well. At that moment...
Carlo: I know!
Just as he thought of something, his eyes suddenly brightened up.
Carlo: You should try singing too!
MC: Eh!?
Carlo: You have a nice voice! So, I'm sure that you'll be good at it!
MC: I-I'm good.
Carlo: Alright, it's been decided! You do the vocals! I'll support you from behind!
Ignoring my worries, Carlo snapped his fingers...
Chapter 3 - Music is Life
In the morning as the transparent sunlight was shining down... As soon as I got up, Carlo came to pick me up and took me to his room.
In Carlo's room, there was a grand piano. While sitting on the piano bench, he turned towards me.
Carlo: Try singing, MC!
MC: Eh...?
As he was looking at me, his eyes brightened up with expectations.
///Choices///
- I can't (☽)
MC: I can't.
Carlo: Don't go saying that you can't right before singing. That's a penalty for using honorifics, so sing.
- Okay (☼)
MC: Okay.
Carlo: Alright! That's the way, that's the way! Also, don't say "okay", say "got it", okay?
///Choices///
MC: But, I don't have the confidence to sing well.
Carlo: That's all right! Music is life after all! As long as you have the heart and music, it'll reach out no matter how much you suck at it! Even famous artists sucked in the beginning. That's why they practiced...
Carlo talked about various artists to me.
MC: Carlo, you sure know a lot about music.
Carlo: Studying music is the only thing that I like after all. I can play any kind of instrument too!
When he faced the piano, Carlo pressed the keys. As his fingers moved, he played a smooth melody.
MC: Wow... You're really good!
Carlo: Classical and opera are needed to know about rock!
MC: You're so cool!
Carlo: Y-You think so!?
When I said that without thinking, Carlo stopped playing.
MC: I'm so envious of people that can play the piano. It's so nice...
Carlo: Y-You're saying too much!
MC: Eh...?
When Carlo looked away, his face and even his ears turned red.
///Choices///
- I wonder if I can play it too (☼)
MC: I wonder if I can play it too.
Carlo: Well, if you practice with my instructions, you could become just as good as me!
- I want to hear some more (☽)
MC: I want to hear some more.
Carlo: Leave it to me! My music is the best!
///Choices///
Just as Carlo was about to play again...
Carlo: Also, you should hurry and sing.
When I remembered that, I became frantic.
MC: O-Okay. I want to hear your cool piano skills more.
Carlo: Cool! Guess it can't be helped. Leave it to me!
After I told him my thoughts, I closed my eyes as I listened to Carlo's beautiful music...
