Year of the Wildest Boar Episode 1 Part 2

Things pick up with Gullinbursti and Amatsumara thrashing trash slimes, and narration says Gullinbursti he’s probably never shown this much spirit as when he was standing in front of 100k troops. The yells are loud enough to shake the ground, and the enthusiasm is hot enough to melt steel. That’s what’s coming off from him and Amatsumara.

But on the other hand, the slimes are largely unconcerned and say they’re running like bored kids or beach bums. They scatter everywhere and disappear in seconds, leaving the workshop a mess and the two fighters not winded at all for all their efforts.

Amatsumara compliments Gullinbursti, saying he’s not all talk. Gullinbursti in turn takes back his previous words and apologizes for calling Amatsumara weak. Amatsumara then talks about how Gullinbursti’s body is clearly built by some sort of famous artisan and asks if he can take a closer look sometime.

Gullinbursti thanks him and says he’s happy to be praised about his training and about the dwarven handiwork put into him. And since he doesn’t have any idea of how to go back to his home world, he figures he may as well ask Amatsumara to do maintenance on him sometime.

Agyou is having a conniption fit about the mess and asks if he can clean the place up. Amatsumara shrugs saying he never asked him to do so, then says it’d be okay to just leave it all. Agyou insists and says he wants to clean since he can’t stand leaving it alone. You can either choose to help or leave him to it.

Going with A, he thanks you but declines the offer since he can do it himself. In the meantime he says you should investigate the slimes’ source and ask about ways to send Gullinbursti back.

Amatsumara asks Gullinbursti about his sword and figures it belonged to his master. Gullinbursti admits to it since he could tell, then says Freyr died after he gave it to him. He knows the sword is beyond his abilities, saying it shone brighter when Freyr used it. He however can’t even bring out half of its power and says his class doesn’t suit it.

He’s frustrated he can’t use it well and groans about it. Kurogane brings up that Gullinbursti is trying to find a way back home and asks if Amatsumara has any ideas. Amatsumara asks about the summoner and says it’d be simple if they knew, but stops short since he figures they don’t know who it is. In which case, this is a tough problem and he doesn’t know anything.

Gullinbursti is disappointed, and Amatsumara says nothing can be done about his desire to go back. He empathizes, then says that if he was summoned must have wanted it to happen too. Amatsumara then suggests he go look around Tokyo and maybe find the reason he was summoned.

Gullinbursti is surprised and glances over to you. In his thoughts he says he thought he heard Freyr, but that seems to have been a mistake. Then he questions if it really was, asking if he actually could mistake someone else for Freyr. He looks calm, but inside he’s confused to hell.

At the very least he wants to figure out who you are while he’s near you. But at the same time, he still wants to go back. After Ragnarock happened and Freyr died, Gullinbursti has no idea what happened to Yggdrasil after that.

You talk to him and tell him not to be too serious. He should be who he is and you’ll be with him. Gullinbursti says Freyr used to say that to him a lot since he always charged ahead, never joked, and was often alone.

Agyou speaks up and suggests that Gullinbursti join the guild if it comes to that. Gullinbursti is pretty strong, so he could protect everyone if he’s in. Also you get into crazy hijinks like all the time. If Gullinbursti is with you guys, then Agyou won’t need to worry about keeping you defended while he’s not there himself. Then he adds that he isn’t going to force the issue, and that it can end when he finds a way back.

Gullinbursti smiles awkwardly at the offer and softly rubs Agyou on the head. He says it’s not a bad idea and that he’ll think about it. Tsathoggua then speaks up to say he’s sensing another strong reading of the slimes, and that the slimes that ran must be gathering elsewhere.

Agyou says you guys should hurry. Temujin is standing there quietly, so you ask him if something’s wrong. He says it’s nothing, just him dozing off for a sec and remembering old memories. During his military rule he had multiple betrayals happen, so he despises it and cuts out anyone who does it.

However, there is one case of it where he hasn’t been able to get over it. It bothered him to the point it scarred his heart and he was prepared to swear off friendship for life. Looking at your eyes reminded him of it. He then says you never let him hold (or ‘hold’?) you, then swears he’ll make you say you want to join his ordo, the thing you never did back in Xanadu. He takes it as a personal challenge and says that’s how he lives.

You guys then get into the taxi that Tsathoggua calls over, and Temujin subtly frowns as you guys drive off to your next destination and the episode ends.
