Lian - Son of the Toura Clan Chief - Main Story
Chapter 1 - The Dawn Goddess
As the entire sky of stars were shining brightly above... Lian, the son of the chief of the Nomadic Tribe, the Toura Clan, who I've woken up, invited me to travel alongside with the Toura Clan's migration.
(The stars are really pretty...)
Lian: Sorry. Even though I said that I wanted to thank you, I didn't think about doing something like this. In the end, you ended up being pushed around by the clan that you're not familiar with. We're probably doing something rude to you...
MC: No, this is the first time that I've seen so many stars like this. They're really pretty...
No matter how much time has passed, I never got tired of looking at the stars because of how beautiful they looked from here. Among them, I saw a single star that was glowing red shooting through brightly.
MC: That star is...
Lian: It's the Dawn Goddess.
MC: Dawn?
Lian: You can't see it anywhere else during this season. The Dawn Goddess... That's what our clan calls that star. It guides our tribe as a protective light.
MC: How nice.
As Lian-san and I were next to each other, we looked up at the stars in the night sky.
MC: Lian-san, thank you for showing me such a nice starry sky.
When I smiled at him...
Lian: No... As long as you're happy, that's good.
I couldn't see well due to how dark it was, but I noticed that his face was a little red...
Chapter 2 - Lian and a Baby
After migrating repeatedly for a while since then, we finally arrived at a village.
Lian: Now then, we've arrived. Let's settle down here for a while.
The village was verdant with houses all over the place and very peaceful. The hills that have turned into plains were wide and flat with lots of grass growing.
Villager Man: Lian-sama!
When the villagers noticed our arrival, they ran over here all at once.
Lian: It's been a while, everyone.
Villager Man: Lian-sama, you seem to be in good health.
Lian: We'll be in your care again for a while... Hm? That child is...
Villager Woman: He was born just recently. You should greet Lian-sama at least.
When the villager woman brought the baby over to Lian-san...
Baby: Uwaaaaah!!
When the baby saw Lian-san, he started crying very loudly.
Lian: ......
///Choices///
- Comfort the baby (☼)
MC: Ah... H-Hey, now! That's a good boy, there, there.
When I comforted the baby in a panic, I somehow got him to stop crying.
Lian: You managed to calm him down.
- Console Lian (☽)
MC: L-Lian-san, I'm sure that he's just hungry!
When I said that to Lian-san in a panic...
Lian: No, don't worry about it. I'm aware that my face is scary.
///Choices///
Lian-san gently narrowed his eyes and patted my shoulder.
Lian: Now then... Let's go set the horses and sheep loose. How's the growth of the grass this year?
Villager: W-Well...
Lian: ...?
Towards Lian-san's question, the villager's expression darkened...
Chapter 3 - An Uneasy Night
Lian: Now then... Let's go set the horses and sheep loose. How's the growth of the grass this year?
Villager: W-Well... Actually... Before your arrival, another nomadic tribe stopped by at our village... They almost robbed us, so only our supplies were taken.
Lian: ...What?
Villager Man: That nomadic tribe's livestock ate up most of the grass that we were growing for you guys. My deepest apologies...
Lian: ...No, you guys aren't to blame. Moreover, it was impossible to avoid.
Villager: Yes. Somehow, we have a small number of supplies left, but those guys are...
Lian: ...
(Lian-san...)
That night...
(The stars are beautiful today as well... But...)
When I remembered the conversation today, I got an uneasy feeling.
Lian: So, this is where you were.
When I turned around, Lian-san slowly walked over here.
Lian: ...
When Lian-san stood beside me, he started looking at the stars without saying anything.
///Choices///
- Speak (☽)
MC: Um... Are you okay?
Lian: Don't worry about me.
Lian-san gently looked down at me.
- Slowly get closer to him (☼)
When I slowly closed the distance between Lian-san and I, he moved his gaze from the stars to me.
Lian: ...MC.
///Choices///
Lian: About what the villagers were talking about, it seems like those guys might come back in a week. We've always been taking care of this village. So, this is something that we can't overlook. Also... I can't forgive them for stealing.
There was a sharp look in Lian-san's eyes.
MC: ...Are you going to fight them?
Lian: Yeah. So... I'm sorry for taking you here, but you should go back to someplace safe. I'll get someone to send you off from here.
MC: ...
///Choices///
- Will you win? (☼)
MC: Will you win?
Lian: Yeah. So, don't worry about it.
- I'll help (☽)
MC: ...I'll help too. Even though I may be a hindrance. Please let me help somehow.
Lian: ...MC.
When I looked up at the stars, the first red evening star emitting a bright light as if it was giving me courage...
Lian: Don't say something so idiotic. It's dangerous.
///Choices///
(If it's Lian-san, I'm sure that he'll be okay. But...)
For some reason, I was filled with uneasiness.
MC: I'll stay here too.
