Year of the Wildest Boar Extra Episode

One day in some overworld shifted to Tokyo snowy mountain, the yells of a boar echo through it. Gullinbursti is then shown running around at full force, through forests, rivers, and waterfalls. He eventually decides to call it a day in some cave.

He comments that winter is breeding season for boars, so if he doesn’t use up all his energy he won’t be able to get to sleep. He has a small fire lit, then starts thinking about the New Years events. Ever since then he’s shut himself up in the mountains and trained himself.

He wonders why you won’t accept him and whether he’s lacking something. He thought he understood, but it seemed to be the wrong thing. And for all his running over the mountains and thinking about it, he hasn’t been able to find an answer.

He still has it in his head that he’s your body double and he doesn’t question it at all. It was how his mind and body was designed after all. As human as he looks, his mind and mode of life are clearly not. Every time he thinks of it he feels his body and heart get so much colder, and a two stick fire isn’t gonna change much of that.

Gullinbursti comments on the cold, and Zaoh joins in saying the chill of a snowy mountain is notably different. He thinks it’s fine though since tightens the mind and body. Gullinbursti agrees, then finally processes Zaoh being there and demands to know who he is.

Zaoh proclaims how great mountains are, which freaks Gullinbursti out a bit and has him demand he answer the question. Zaoh then introduces himself with his shortened name, his full name, and school and club position. Chernobog follows up on his example, and Durga does so too. Despite being a Yoyogi student she’s joined Shinjuku’s mountain hiking club.

You’re next in line and you declare yourself a club member too. Agyou is last in line and makes a point of saying he isn’t in the club. Gullinbursti is upset with more people showing up, and you comment that it was a good idea to ask Zaoh for help since the search went by quick. You can also say mountains alone are amazing too.

Zaoh applauds you for saying something admirable for once, then says the search being so fast was because Tanngrisnir had told him about this. Agyou thanks him and having forgotten his name or position, flubs wandervogel. Gullinbursti finally gets it through his head that you and Agyou are there and is shocked to see you guys.

Time skips as Shirou offers some tea as an apology to Gullinbursti for what you and Agyou did. He awkwardly thanks him back and says to not worry about it since he told you guys to call for him if anything happened. Speaking of, he asks you why you asked him to come.

You start to tell him yourself, but then you make Agyou do it. He’s surprised to be put on the spot, then tries to explain. Gullinbursti interrupts before he can get anywhere, asking if some monster reappeared or if an army is invading. He figures it must be serious to have you guys look for him and loudly proclaims he’ll protect you.

Agyou blurts out that it’s just a rice cake pounding party. As a Norse based character, Gullinbursti has no idea what that is and assumes it’s something ominous, then asks what he needs to do. You give a brief explanation about it being to make rice cakes. He still doesn’t get it so he has a mild freak out over not understanding you.

Shirou is weirded out by this and gives him another explanation that gets glossed over. Gullinbursti gets it this time, and you follow up by saying you wanted to spend time with him doing something fun. Agyou tries to sell him on the idea, and Gullinbursti puts his hand on Agyou’s head.

He says he doesn’t have any reason to turn down his master and his friend, so he resolves to give it his all for this party too. Shirou teaches him how to pound the cakes, and you either say it’s clear he’s an avatar of fertility or say his cakes are great.

Gouryou is sitting on his ass saying the cakes are great too and says he just wants to eat them without thinking of anything. Tsathoggua agrees, saying that having lots of varied rice cakes after New Years food is their savior.

Gullinbursti is baffled as he notices them, and it turns out the two also have a kotatsu set up out at the shrine as they indulge their slothfulness. He asks you about them, and you tell him one is the avatar of indolence and the other is this year’s Chinese zodiac.

Gullinbursti says he’s more concerned with Gouryou, who seems flattered by the attention. However, Gullinbursti is having a bit of a crisis trying to process that Gouryou is a boar like him. Gouryou gives you an abridged New Years greeting and asks what you think of his formal clothes.

Gouryou then complains about the people in his guild, and it turns out he’s part of the Asakusa guild. He says when they found out he’s this year’s lunar symbol they put so much work on him. So his plans to laze around got pushed back and now he’s catching up with his stay home plan.

Gullinbursti’s looming breakdown continues, so you tell him he shouldn’t mind it too much as people and boars are different. Gouryou starts calling for more rice cakes since they’re all gone now. Touji is surprised by this, then tells him to wait since the rice is being steamed. Kengo decides to go play with something in the meantime, having found a decorative badminton racket.

Touji sighs as he wants people to wait quietly. He decides not to stop Kengo though, telling him to be careful with it since it’s shrine equipment. Durga says she wants to play too, and you can either say you’ve never played badminton before or say it’s your specialty.

Kengo says to throw out rock or paper to decide teams, then the game gets underway. Shirou yells at him to aim up, not actually hit the birdie at people. Kengo laughs the idea off as boring and continues on.

Gunzou, Ashigara, and Kyuuma show up, exchanging greetings and saying they came for the party since training camps are on break. Durga waves them over and Kengo restarts the game as Kyuuma joins.

Moritaka then shows up to say the cake pounding prep is done and suggests everyone join in. Hanuman is more interested in the badminton game and asks if it’s an iron ball fight. Durga is surprised and tells him what they’re really doing. Shirou comments that sports seem to play hard ball a lot.

Gouryou is actually helping pound the rice cakes, and Ashigara tells him to do it harder and put his back into it. Turns out Gouryou is doing this because he lost a Rock Paper Scissors game and complains he’s more a mental worker.

Hougen shows up and greets everyone. Durga greets him back and Tajikarao also appears to give his greetings and asks to join. Touji is surprised they’re there since this is apparently patrol time for them. Hougen says there’s time to come over during a break at least, bringing up the importance of not being too stressed.

Touji finds this enlightening, and Kengo is shocked at how differently Touji treats older people. Tajikarao says they brought some red bean paste and offers some since they go well with rice cakes. Hougen then teases the possibility of giving out New Years money to all the cute students.

Durga is excited by this prospect and offers the spot next to her for Hougen to sit at. Ashigara says he’s feeling off to a lucky start this year between the cakes and the money. Moritaka wonders if it’s okay if he can have some too, but before he says much more Kengo tells him to just shut up and take it. For reference New Years money is more associated with younger aged children.

Hougen says it’s fine and says the young should just accept it with sincerity. Agyou asks if it’s okay for him to get some too, and he does. Shirou accepts some and prompts the Evils to thank Hougen too. Hougen is glad he got the decorative envelopes for this, though Touji tries to tell Hougen not to spoil you guys too much.

Tajikarao also tries to get some money from Hougen, though he doesn’t say anything so Hougen asks why he’s holding his hands out like so. Tajikarao explains, so Hougen apparently thumps him on the head and tells him he’s already on a salary. Then he says it’s time to go help, so Tajikarao goes to help pound cakes.

Ryouta comes in at this point and asks if something is happening for police to be around. Touji says it’s fine and introduces Hougen and Tajikarao as his teacher and senpai. Shirou hands him a share of the New Years money too.

After thanking Hougen, Ryouta says it’s time to shape the cakes while they’re still hot, then almost burns his hands. Durga seems to use some flour to roll hers up and starts working from there. Kengo says he sucks at delicate work so he asks for the mallet to pound out more cakes.

Gouryou is still pounding away at the cakes, and Agyou tells Gullinbursti that it’s important to yell when pounding them out. He obliges, and the work continues. Later Durga is writing Tokyo on something with a brush and comments how hard it is. Moritaka compliments her handling of it, so she starts boasting that she can do good at anything.

Hougen says using a brush would be hard for most Transients and asks if they’re doing the first calligraphy of the year. Shirou says they’re writing their goal for the year and says it’s fun since there’s no restrictions on it.

Shirou also mentions that the extra rice should be done steaming, so he asks for help making the cakes. Ryouta wonders if too many has been made, but Touji says it’ll be fine and that they can give it to people that helped them over the year. Hougen and Tajikarao excuse themselves here, and Tajikarao says he’ll bring the cakes to the people affiliated with the police. He also reminds Touji that practice starts tomorrow. Touji asks them to pass on his regards and tells them to not eat too much.

After they leave, Ryouta asks if it’s fine now. Touji says it is as the shares they had to split up are already taken. Kengo says they should dig in soon, and Shirou comes back to find the police are gone. Ryouta hands out some toppings for the cakes, and Kyuuma takes some soy sauce and flavored seaweed.

Gunzou takes some soybean flour and soy sauce since he likes salty sweetness. Durga finds grated daikon, natto, and dango, though she says simple is nice too. You can say Tajikarao also brought some pot stickers earlier, agree that simple is good, or offer your share to the others.

Gunzou then asks where Ashigara is since he’d normally be eating ahead with everyone. Ryouta and Hanuman come back from somewhere and bring out some rice cake and veg soup. Turns out Ashigara helped make it using chanko as a base. Agyou encourages you and Gullinbursti to eat, so you suggest to Gullinbursti you guys join in. He thanks you guys in surprise.

Gullinbursti comments on how warm the food is, and Agyou smiles next to him in contentment as he says eating it after a sweat makes it better. Gullinbursti pats Agyou on the head and agrees.

Later, Ashigara says he’ll be taking some back to the others at the training camps. Gunzou asks if it’s okay to take so many, and Shirou tells him it is since you guys already divided it. Ryouta adds you guys already have some saved for the people at the dorm and says he’ll give some to Mononobe after they get back.

Tsathoggua says he’ll bring some to Hakumen and the others so they can all sit and eat together at a kotatsu. The Yoyogi students wave you goodbye and leave, as does everyone else who follows suit. Most of the gang has left, while Touji is cleaning and Agyou has fallen asleep. That leaves you and Gullinbursti.

You and Gullinbursti hold Agyou between the two of you as he sleep talks. Gullinbursti starts talking about how he didn’t know what would happen, but says it turned out to be a nice party. He does however ask why you bothered to ask him to come if there were so many other people around too. You either comment on him not understanding still or on him bringing the subject up again.

He apologizes, so you tell him Agyou really wanted him to come. Gullinbursti is surprised and asks why. You ask him how the party was, so he says the soup was warm. He still feels it now. You thank him for his first ever made rice cake and say it was good.

He tries to argue again for having more family members before he stops himself, feeling that isn’t what you’re getting at. So instead he says he plans on going back to the mountains to train again. He asks you to tell Agyou he sends his regards, then says he still isn’t sure how he should serve you.

Touji walks over and tells him he forgot something, then hands him his share of the cakes. Gullinbursti stares at the cakes describing them as misshapen and awkward, like himself. He’s confused you’d compliment the cakes but refuse to approve of him. Touji says they’re good for a first try, saying that they’re the first he made and the only ones in the world.

Gullinbursti seems to understand at the “only one in the world” bit, then thanks Touji. He says he’ll remember today as he eats them later. Before he goes he tells you again to call him again if anything comes up, then runs off without looking back.

Some time later you go to some quiet spot at the shrine and pull out your phone to call up Solomon. He doesn’t answer, and narration says it’s been like this for a few days now. You either try again or give up. He decides to show up this time to pout at you.

You can either apologize for being late, comment that he’s finally shown up, or ask why he’s acting like that. Solomon continues pouting and says he doesn’t care about you, telling you to just hang out with Gullinbursti instead. You then comment that he’s sulking and say there are times he doesn’t show up either.

Solomon recoils since he can’t argue against that, then says it’s an act of god so he can’t do anything about it. He then changes the subject to say Gullinbursti is the problem. Not only did you ditch him but now there’s a boar saying he’s your scapegoat, so now he’ll sulk at you for being friendly with Gullinbursti.

You comment on him being jealous but think there’s something else to it. Solomon notices Gullinbursti is gone and asks where he went. Since he isn’t in the guild he asks if you two had a fight. You tell him it was something like that, say you’re upset with him, or just nod.

Solomon gets excited at this and asks if you can’t do without him. He asks you to remember that he’s the only one who’s fully in tune with you, then pats you as he tries to comfort you. When that’s done he asks if you have anything for him as an apology. You give him some rice cakes and can sigh inwardly.

He’s happy about the gift and starts eating, then says he’ll be counting on you this year too. After that he asks you to play with him to make up for lost time, and there ends the episode and the event as a whole.
