Ch. 4: I'll Be a Good Boy, OK?

 

In the wide, deserted hall of the castle, I learned of how Toto had no memories of his past, other than of looking for his owner…

 

OO: "…having no other memories…"

 

Toto: "Other?"

 

Toto innocently tilted his head.

 

Toto: "It’ll be fine as long as I can find my master. So, why are you making that sad face?"

 

[CHOICE]

  • Being without your memories… (SUN)

  • If it was me, I’d be anxious (MOON)

 

 

Toto: "I’m just lonely without a master…"

 

I looked at Toto, his head hung in defeat, and he was so pitiful looking that it swayed my heart a little.

 

Toto: "Hey…I’ll be a good boy, ok…?"

 

Toto looked at me and stretched out his hand, pinching the hem of my shirt between his fingers.

 

OO: "…"

 

Just like before, I couldn’t reject him outright…

 

Toto: "OK…?"

 

Toto’s eyes were intense, seeing nothing but me.

 

What do I do? At this rate I’m going to get swept away… Ah, that’s it!

 

OO: "Um…how would you feel about going for a walk in town together?"

 

Toto: "Walk!?"

 

I suggested it so I could break the standstill and avoid getting caught up in the whole situation. Toto’s head shot up and he smiled broadly.

 

Butler: "Princess of Träumere…have you decided? Could it be…"

 

The butler’s eyes seemed to be asking if I intended to be Toto’s owner, and I felt guilty as I shook my head.

 

OO: "If we go into town, I thought we might find a clue to Toto’s memories…"

 

Though I’d like to say it’d be good to find Toto’s owner…

 

It was likely that Toto held on so tightly to the idea of an owner because he had no other memories, and I couldn’t easily agree to Toto’s wish.

 

But…even if it’s not feasible for me to be his owner, I want to support Toto as best I can…

 

Butler: "…I see, searching for his memories. If his memories return, he may stop being so stubborn about having an owner."

 

OO: "Right."

 

Butler: "I understand. Please, take care of Lord Toto."

 

The butler seemed somewhat cheerful as he bowed his head.

 

I returned his smile and headed towards the town with Toto, who was bouncing with excitement.

OO: "Because if I was in a similar position, I’m sure I’d be a total wreck…"

 

Toto: "But I’m fine, see?"

OO: "I mean, isn’t it difficult…to be without your memories?"

Toto: "No. It’s just difficult without a master…"
