| Player Character |
Tsuchinoko!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Ahhh! D-Don't pop out of nowhere like that!
|
| Player Character |
Alright, alright.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
What do you want from me?
|
| Player Character |
Well, I just wanted to ask you about the message on the—
|
| Tsuchinoko |
O-Of course it wasn't written by me!
|
| Player Character |
... I just wanted to ask who you think wrote it.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Oh, right. Wh-Who could it be?
|
| Player Character |
Could it be Tsu—
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Impossible!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
I've always been a loner.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
How could I possibly leave a message about "how to communicate with Friends"?
|
| Player Character |
...That solved the mystery I think.
|
| Player Character |
In that case, let's ask around first for useful tips...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Hey! Listen to me!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
You're really hopeless...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Fine, I'll go with you.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
It's only because I want to accompany you! It's not because I admit to leaving such an embarrassing message on the board!
|
| Player Character |
There's nothing embarrassing about it.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Ugh! I was...!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Never mind.
|
| Comment |
She wanted to get closer to her Friends... I suppose? Well, leave it to me!

You might as well ask the tea enthusiast Friend. → Suri Alpaca
Clue #1
| Speaker |
Dialogue
|
| Chevrotain |
Wanting to communicate normally with Friends...?
|
| Chevrotain |
I'm usually shy and tend to follow behind Weasel...
|
| Chevrotain |
But all our Friends are really amiable.
|
| Chevrotain |
You just need to wear a smile, say "hello" to them, and that's it.
|
| Chevrotain |
Wanting to communicate normally with Friends...?
|
| Player Character |
That's the beginning of a friendship!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
"Friendship," huh... Such an... elusive thing...
|
| Player Character |
There's no need to ponder over everything, right?
|
| Player Character |
It would be a bit too exhausting otherwise.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
I-I don't need you to say that. I understand already!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
In the long years I've spent alone, if I didn't learn to live a little more relaxed, maybe I'd end up like humans...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
(Whispers) Hmm... No, that's not right... There are still Friends like you...
|
| Player Character |
Huh? Did you say something?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Nothing.
|
| Clue |
Although I find that embarrassing, isn't it good enough to just say hello? —Chevrotain's suggestion
|
Clue #2
| Speaker |
Dialogue
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Want to get closer to Friends?
|
| Player Character |
That's right.
|
| Suri Alpaca |
You can chat while having a drink together. Unconsciously, you'll get closer to one another, baa!
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Many Friends come to the cafe in groups!
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Let's see...
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Lion and Moose. African Elephant and Shoebill. Saltwater Crocodile and Axolotl. Caracal and Serval...
|
| Player Character |
It seems Friends like to go to Sheepish Cafe in pairs.
|
| Suri Alpaca |
It's not always like that. Crested Ibis often comes alone, baa!
|
| Player Character |
That's because Crested Ibis comes specifically to chat with Alpaca.
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Haha, I guess that's the case!
|
| Player Character |
Anyway, I got your suggestion, Alpaca, and I'll pass it on!
|
| Suri Alpaca |
Alright, glad to be of help.
|
| Player Character |
Definitely, thank you.
|
| Clue |
Baa, perhaps you can have some drinks to tone it down! —Suri Alpaca's suggestion

Ending Dialogues
Ending 1: Embarrassed Tsuchinoko
Tsuchinoko attempts to talk with Eurasian Eagle Owl in the library, but the flying Friend gives an indifferent response. On Alpaca's advice, Tsuchinoko asks if she wants some liquor, and it ends up an embarrassing scene.
| Speaker |
Dialogue
|
| Tsuchinoko |
(Murmurs) After finishing a book, I really want to talk about it with others.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Huh? That shadow over there is...
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
...(Focused on reading)
|
| Tsuchinoko |
...Eurasian Eagle Owl.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
(Takes a deep breath)
|
| Tsuchinoko |
H-Hel—
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
Hel?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Hel—
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
Hel...?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Hi there.
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Would you like something to drink?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
I prefer alcohol.
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
Alcohol...? I was wondering why there was a strange smell in the library... Could it be...?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
N-Never mind...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
(Returns to seat)
|
| Tsuchinoko |
That was so embarrassing... Awkwardness at a tail-curling level...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Straighten it out a bit...
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
(Glances at the spot where Tsuchinoko stood)
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
Tsuchinoko...
|
| Eurasian Eagle Owl |
Her tail left a dent in the floor...?
|
| End |
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Getting close to Eurasian Eagle Owl is pretty hard...

Ending 2: Drunk Tsuchinoko
Tsuchinoko's personality changes drastically after drinking liquor. She forces the hidden Panther Chameleon into talking about ninjas for the whole afternoon. From the looks of it, isn't a cup of wine enough to solve Tsuchinoko's problem?
| Speaker |
Dialogue
|
| Tsuchinoko |
(Glances at the liquid in hand)
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Ask a Friend if she wants to drink together—that's how you greet her without feeling awkward...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
And continue the conversation. That's the idea, right?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Well... Panther Chameleon, you're chosen.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
As expected of Tsuchinoko-sama.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
I thought I hid well enough, but you saw through me in an instant.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Tsuchinoko-sama... is not to be underestimated.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
You flattered me. I just wanted to ask if you'd like to have a drink together.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
But aren't you already drinking?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Just rehearsing, rehearsing...
|
| Panther Chameleon |
There's no need to drink that much for a rehearsal.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Ha... haha, when it comes to drinking, the most important thing is to indulge yourself.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
That's not incorrect, but it seems you're already a bit tipsy...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Well, Panther Chameleon, to be honest, your current capabilities are still a bit inadequate.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Pr-Pray tell me more, Tsuchinoko-sama!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
In the old era, "ninjas" were more than playing hide-and-seek or throwing makibishi.1
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Please elaborate if possible!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Well, they also had some strange hand gestures. I did study them for a while...
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Could you tell me about them?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
That... I'm afraid I can't.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Please enlighten me, Tsuchinoko-sama! I sincerely request your guidance!
|
| Tsuchinoko |
I won't be allowed to continue...
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Allowed? Allowed by whom?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
N-No, I can't say. I can't...
|
| Tsuchinoko |
I am one with principles.
|
| Panther Chameleon |
In that case, I won't press you further. Let me join you for a drink instead.
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Really?
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Good, good. Come closer! I'll tell you everything!
|
| Panther Chameleon |
(Thinks to self)
|
| Panther Chameleon |
Where did her "principles" go...?
|
| Panther Chameleon |
In any case... Alright! No problem at all!
|
| End |
|
| Tsuchinoko |
Today's a blast. Another drink?
