Year of the Wildest Boar Episode 3 Part 2

Things pick up mid battle as Gullinbursti roars and attacks, his sword shining with the power to kill even giants as the giant dust slime sits there helplessly. It sedately yells about being taken down as it turns back into a smaller slime. In fact it turns back into an ordinary slime and talks about cleaning up, running off from the temple toward the casino and leaving a waxy sparkly trail in its wake.

Gullinbursti stares in amazement saying the light his sword gave off was the same as when Freyr wielded it, calling it the famed light of victory that brings forth peace and good harvests. He tries to get it to work again, but no matter how many times he swings it doesn’t happen.

He does seem to realize something and turns to look at you. He thinks out loud that it’s because you’re here, but before he can say more about this train of thought Agyou interrupts to say he was so scared. You show him some sympathy and can treat him like a kid if you want. He gets mad if you do.

Either way, Agyou starts claiming to have been deliberately kidnapped as a decoy and that he could totally take the dust slime on his own if he felt like it. He doesn’t keep it up for very long and admits he might not have been able to do it, then jumps at you and hugs you as he cries, thanking you all for saving him. You can then either pat him on the head, hug him back, or play with his fur.

After some time passes, Agyou gets sad about how lame he looked for crying and mouthing off. Gullinbursti says he’s glad he’s okay, and Agyou is surprised at how beat up Gullinbursti is. He asks if he did it for him, then snaps at him for pushing himself too hard, saying he’d be sad if something happened to Gullinbursti while trying to save him.

Gullinbursti starts crying too which Agyou asks about in surprise, especially as Gullinbursti is way stronger than him. Gullinbursti says he finally understood a bit as to why Freyr was upset with him and left him behind.

Gullinbursti then thanks Agyou for getting mad at him and calls him his friend. Agyou gets to thinking about how even as Gullinbursti cries, he’s never thought of him as uncool. But on the flip side he starts thinking of himself as always bluffing and thinks of how non-composed he was just now. He thanks Gullinbursti, thinking about how he’ll start off this year with his friends from the point where they accepted him with his weakness.

At this point Temujin makes it over and says it’s too early to let your guard down. Another dust slime drops down from above, and Agyou freaks out at the sight of it. Temujin shoots it, and this one also turns back into a regular slime that starts happily prancing out the room.

Agyou thanks Temujin for noticing it. Temujin repeats himself and says you need to keep a wide eye out on the battlefield and that you should remember that. The incident isn’t resolved yet either, and he points out that the dust slimes are coming from further within. Agyou identifies it as Tsathoggua’s room. Tsathoggua would rather not go in, but there’s no other option.

Inside, the game can’t decide whether to call what’s there another world or utter chaos. Agyou isn’t the only one to have their hair stand on end while standing outside the door. When you look inside you comment on how goddamned messy it is, like something terrible could’ve been summoned from it all.

Gullinbursti can’t believe Freyr’s sword cut down something that came from all this. Tsathoggua says it’s strange as he’s sure he sent his minions to clean the place. He wonders where the dust slimes came from and says the room is kinda cleaned up. Agyou has a fit and says this place is dirtier than everywhere else they’ve been to today.

Temujin asks if the dust slimes that appear in here get thrown out by Tsathoggua’s minions, then says he sees why they multiplied constantly. Narration says the slime minions are trying to clean the room, but on closer inspection they aren’t touching anything beyond distinct pieces of trash.

Half eaten snacks and half empty juice bottles still litter the place alongside tossed around clothing. Dust slimes spring up from those things and chase away Tsathoggua’s servants, and now you know what’s causing this incident. Also it seems like the dust slimes are being made from slime fragments from the minions taking in the room’s impurities.

Tsathoggua shrugs and says everyone should help clean up. You express disbelief at this or say you’re leaving. Tsathoggua begs you to stay and help just a bit since he can’t get it all done himself. Agyou says he needs to have at least enough responsibility to clean up his own room. Tsathoggua claims to be repenting and says dust slimes will mess Tokyo up again if things aren’t dealt with.

Agyou is about to tell him off some more but holds off, torn between the fact that he was saved and the fact that this is Tsathoggua’s fault. He then decides to not buy Tsathoggua any honey candy. Then the party gets together to help clean the place up, to be continued in the epilogue.
