Mahoujin Guru Guru 3

Wasn't expecting this to happen today either. Maybe one more out before the end of the year, but don't count on it, maybe.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

Chapter 3: The city on the outskirts of Ancient Kingdom.

002
(Beside panel- This world's currency is (R)Rin)
{After the “Battle of Heroes” Nike and Kukuri stand before the King of Ancient's Throne.}
Ulga: I will provide 800 Rin as assistance in your journey.
Now, open that treasure chest!
(Sfx- Baaaaan)
Nike: It's a hugeass box,
Kukuri: And we know there should be something in it...
Ulga: Nothing is going to plan here...
Now then Hero, you will leave Ancient kingdom and first go to “North city”.
(Handwritten –Ancient/North)
Ulga: However, outside of this place is the Demon King Giri's domain –a world of dark magic and monsters aplenty.

003
Ulga: There's no doubt that it will be teeeeeeerifying out there!!
Not only that, it will be paaaaaainful and you might just drop dead!
However I will not take responsibility for what happens to you!
As such you can think of this money I'm giving you as a settlement!
Guard: My liege, perhaps you should put things more...um, delicately?
I know it's not wrong per say but...
Ulga: I BELIEVE HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!!
Guard: Uh...okay...
Ulga: Aaaaaaas I was saying, you should go to the city on the outskirts and go shopping for items of which to equip yourself with!
I'm expecting big things of you children!!
(Sfx- Piisu peace)
(Sign- Ancient city outskirts)
(Sfx- Gessori droooop)

004
Nike: Welp, time to go back.
(Sfx- Gashii grab)
Kukuri: Where?
(Sfx- Shiiiin silllinece)
Nike: You seriously think I'm somesorta “hero”?!
Kukuri: I totally do!
Nike: This is seriously no joke, you know that right?
Kukuri: I don't think it's a joke or anything~
{When I was waiting for you Mr. Hero, I rad a lot of books!}
{Old Witch's house.}
Kukuri: This man is a “hero” chosen by God –a noble, gentle savior of the world...

005
Kukuri: Granny the hero is really incredible isn't he!? He won't lose to the likes of evil.
Witch: That's right, --Kukuri you really do seem to like stories about heroes, don't you?
Kukuri: When will Mr. Hero come?
Witch: I'm sure he'll be here soon. One day he'll open the door to this house and be here.
Kukuri: I don't get what “soon” is supposed to mean, old bat!!
(Sfx- Poka poka thok thok)
Witch: Soon means soon you dimwitted little girl!
Ouch! Ouch!!
Until he comes, keep up your magic studies, understand?
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Kukuri: Understood Granny.
{One day a Hero will...}
{Open the door to this house and be here...!}
(On Book- Stories of Heroism.)

006
Nike: Uhh, gotta say you two are a little...weird.
(On arm -Last page)
Nike: In what way is that incredible....
Kukuri: So no matter how scared I am, as long as Mr. Hero is here...
It'll be okay!
(Sfx- Kuruuuh spn)
Nike: I—I get it okay?
For now I'll give you some money. We've got 800 rin here so I'll split it into 400 each so we can both get equipped.
(Sfx- Charri jingle)
Nike: Right then, I can see the capital.....
(Sfx- Suta suta tmptmp)
Nike: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOOOING?!
(Sfx- Kururii spn)
Kukuri: I—I'm getting equipped using the 400 rin...
Nike: ….Are you telling me you don't know how money works?
Kukuri: I'm hopeless at anything aside from magic.
(Handwritten- Haaaah, hopeless, hopeless.)
{Hopeless Fairy.}
(Bottom panel- A mystery fairy who appears at times of complete hopelessness.)

007
{City on Ancient Kingdom outskirts// A large capital venue where merchants all around the world gather. There is a church and hotel here as well.}
Kukuri: It's amazing how busy this city is!!
Nike: Yeah, totally different than Plain village.
Kukuri: Though it might just be a little too busy....
Merchant: Come on down~
(Handwritten- Merchant)
(Handwritten- Cart)
(Sfx- Dododdodododo tmptmtmp)

Kukuri: Um...what are they doing?
(Sfx- Jiiii staaare)
Nike: Let's just quit gawking and get a move on before it gets troublesome.
(Handwritten- Lalalaaa)
(Handwritten- Come on down~)
(Sfx- Dododdododo thoom)
(Handwritten- The Minstrel and Merchant are going around in circles.)
Nike: In cities like these, the merchants and people are all out to make a buck. So it's best to be careful and not get suckered into buying stuff you don't need.
(Handwritten- Second hand info from Dad.)
(Sfx- Kuruhh spn)
Nike: Now let's get going Kukuri.
Merchant: Come on dooooown.
Minstrel: Lalalaaa...
Nike: And who are you people?!
Crap, Kukuri's gone somewhere.
'cuse me, uh...
Did you happen to see a girl in a black robe....
Merchant: If you don't properly equip weapons and tools they'll have no effect!
Nike: ...Wut.
Merchant: If you don't properly equip weapons and tools they'll have no effect!
(Sfx- Gyuuuhh graaab)

009

Nike: Gimmie a break here....where did that Kukuri get to?
Sir?

Nike: Ya mean me?
Lady: Wanna take a look at my shop? I got all kinds of trendy clothes~

010
{20 minutes later~}
Nike: What on earth is that thing?
Kukuri: It's awesome, right? See if you press here, the tounge comes out and it makes a sound!
(Sfx- Piihhh bleeeh)
Nike: ….Okay, and?
Kukuri: Oh, that's all.
Nike: The hell?! Why are you buying useless garbage?!
(Sfx- Baaaaan thoooom)
(Sfx- Kira kira glitter)
Kukuri: You're one to talk Mr. Hero! What's with those weird clothes?!
Nike: Heh, It ain't just clothes!

Nike: Welp, we're out of cash.
(Sfx- Pii bleeeh)
{The Hero has lost before doing any fighting.}
Kukuri: What should we do?
{And so Nike went to sell everything they had just purchased.}
(Sign- Weapons and tools//Trades are okay.)
Nike: Yeah, we're gonna sell all of this.
Merchant: Hmm, I can give you 400 Rin for it all.
(Sfx- Donn bump)
Kukuri: Oh, I'm sorry!
Lady: Oh it's quite all right.
(Sfx- Kirakirainnn twinkle twinkle)

{Could it be that I'm....}
(Sfx- Zazaaaaan spllllsih)

012
{Plain?!}
{Simple braid}
{Pitch black}
(Sfx- Doddoooon thoom)
{Kukuri has awakened to every girl's desire to accessorize!!}
(Sfx- Kuruhh spn)
Nike: First lets see some swords! 400 rin and under, please.
Merchant: Yeah, yeah, swords it is.
Kukuri: I'd like to see some outfits for magic users, please!!
(Banner- It might only be a fantasy, but big spending.)
(Sfx- Biyuuuuhhhh fwhooooom)
(Sfx- Dododododdo)
Nike: What happened to you Kukuri?!
Merchant: Clothes huh?
Though what you're wearing now is a “Mekemeke robe” which is pretty high class in and of itself! We don't even sell that here!
Kukuri: Th—this is that special?
(Sfx- Gaaaaan)
{Mekemeke robe//Defense power 5}
{Guruguru Natural history: Mekemeki Herbavore/Mekemeke species: A creature native to Plain village with long light hairs that offer protection against magic. The “Mekemeke robe” is optimum wear for magicians. While this robe is often worn in Plain village, it is a rare commodity in the capital city. It gains it's name from it's cry “Mekemeke”.

013
Kukuri: I wanted some pretty clothes...
But who would have thought the weird looking Meke meke would be this good...
(On collar –Gold)
(Sfx- Gakkuri drooop)
(Sfx- Fura fura wibble)
Nike: A---are you okay Kukuri?
Merchant: We have this here for those who wield magic.
{Riko flower hair ornament.}
Nike: Hmmm, yeah, let's get to the swords first.
Merchant: We have two swords within your 400 rin budget.
{Iron Sword 400 Rin, Attack power 4.//Short sword 200 rin attack power 2.}
Merchant: The “iron sword” has higher attack power but it's heavier so the price is doubled...
when compared to the short sword which is lighter and easier to use, but there's not much to speak of attack power wise...
So which would you like?
Nike: Hrmmm...

014
Nike: I'll take the “iron sword” cause it's cool.
(Sfx- Shakiiiinn clannng)
Merchant: Don't listen to others well, huh.
Nike: Hmm. This is what a sword oughtta be.
For some reason it makes me feel cooler when I have it.
{Specialty –Serious face.}
Nike: Right, Kukuri?!
(Sfx- Kuruhh spnn)
Merchant: Your traveling mate went outside a long time ago.
(Handwritten- She's waiting out there.)
(Sfx- Taraaah)
(Sfx- Shiiinnn)
(Sfx- Kohon Cough)
Merchant: Sir, if you could get off the counter I'd appreciate it.
(Sfx- Pori pori scrtich scritch)

Nike: Sorry to keep you waiting.
(Sfx- Ponn patt)
Kukuri: What's this.......?
(Sfx- pachikuri pat)
Nike: Uhhh, it's some sorta flower hair ornament with one defense point.
Kukuri: Mr. Hero...

Kukuri: Mr. Hero, your pants are...falling.
(Sfx- Hyuuuhhh Wffffft)
(Sfx- Zawa zawa zawa)

016
Nike: I bought the short sword but look at this!
(Sfx- Kyah!)
(Sfx- Goso goso shffft)
Nike: It's really heavy so my pants fell!
See, there it's fine now!
{Hero became confused.}

{Tomorrow we'll finally be headed off on our journey so please watch over us~}
(Sfx- Pori pori scrtch)
