Dive 03 [Action / Video]

*Do you happen to be in Violet City today? If so, you may find yourself with Aoto sneaking up behind you as you walk around. What does he do once he gets behind you, you ask? Flip your skirt? Tickle you? Jump you? No no, it is something far far more childish.

He's sticking the mouth of his Remoraid up against your back while holding the water-type like a gun.*

Freeze! Keep your hands where I can see 'em.

[Video, an hour or two later]

Hey, does anybody know a good place in Violet to buy materials? A place for stuff like clothes and plush animals and... well, a good place to buy food too, I guess. Now that I have a good amount of cash I have a few projects I need to get started on!

[That's the plan--]

As soon as the Overlord recognized the Hero,
the Overlord got scared and hid behind the throne.
The Overlord said, "I will give you a lot of food,
so please don't take my life!"
The Hero was astonished.

The Overlord took the Hero to the backyard,
where he saw a lot of freshly planted fruits and vegetables.
The Overlord told the Hero
"I know that because of me, the villagers are unhappy.
But, I'm too timid to die..."
"So, I thought I would at least help them
not to starve by growing watermelons..."
The Hero felt really sorry for the Overlord,
so he decided to grow watermelons with the Overlord.
The Overlord looked very happy.

After that, the Hero and the Overlord
grew watermelons together.
The Overlord looked very happy.
It was the first time the Overlord had
ever got to farm with someone else!
Their efforts literally bore fruit.
They harvested a lot of large,
sweet watermelons, and they rejoiced together.
The Hero decided to take
the watermelons to the village.

A timid Overlord growing watermelons...?

[Aoto you should think some more into this story.

It'll be on the test.]


So the Hero returned to the Village
and told the villagers about the Overlord.
But no matter how hard he tried to convince them
that the Overlord was nice, they wouldn't believe his story.
At the end of the day, they pelted him with rocks,
calling him a traitor.
Then, he was banished from their village.
They vandalized all of the watermelons that
the Hero and the Overlord had grown.

The Hero went back to the Overlord,
crying from frustration.
The Overlord tenderly comforted him.
And then they ate a watermelon
that they had grown together.
The Hero never knew that these watermelons were so delicious.
When the Hero told the Overlord about how wonderful
the watermelons tasted, the Overlord became very happy.

When the Hero woke up the next morning,
the Overlord was gone.
There was a pile of plump watermelons in the yard,
with a handwritten note beside it.
"I'm going on a short trip.
I'm giving you the watermelons and this castle.
Please tell your friends that you defeated the Overlord
and captured the watermelons."
Staring at the watermelons,
the Hero couldn't hold back his tears.

*HEY he's paying attention he just can't help but commentate...

wait what the-- why did this suddenly get so depressing*

Wha... What kind of village if jerks is that?! And why the hell would the Overlord just up and leave and not take the Hero?!

[identity profile] manlymanly.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh... Then consider that my critique!

[Frowning.... but she'll finish up the story.]

"Ever since you started helping me grow watermelons,
I have realized that I do deserve to live.

You have convinced me of this.
Because you always encouraged me,
I was able to grow this many watermelons.

And, I found hope in this world. Thank you very much.
I'm not lonely anymore. I'm very happy.

My Hero, you saved me.
Even if I never see you again,
my heart will always be with you."

. . .

*w-wow. That's... crazy depressing. He is having a hard time thinking of what to say here*

Saki, is that... Is that really the end?

[identity profile] nyamonyamo.livejournal.com 2011-08-27 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. Saki put all her thoughts and feelings into this story; what did Aoto think?

*He looks SUPER SERIOUS for a moment, looking at the drawings, then to Saki, and without connecting nearly enough dots to get an actual picture:*

... wasn't that way too bittersweet to be the ending to a kid's story? Like... Why wouldn't the Hero go after her?! If it were me, I'd definitely chase her down! There's no way I would let her just run off like that.
