SCENE 14.5 - PENGUIN LIFE

54)
1: Peggy is a penguin with a flight ESP ability.
2(2b): A penguin?!
3(2b): He lives in this town with Rinka-san and I, even though he hasn't gotten totally used to it yet.
4: Usually, while we're studying,
5: he rolls around on the roof of the school.
6(2b): It's summer vacation now, so once noon rolls around he goes to see his friend.

55)
1: Kwehhhh!!
2: Nyahh
3: Pegaaaaah!!

56)
1: Nyahh
2: Pehhhh!!?
3: Uwahh!
4: What's wrong, Peggy?! You're all beat up!
5: It looks like...he lost in a fight with a stray cat...
6(no bubble): Used psychometry
7: I'm surprised he wasn't eaten.
8: I'm a bit worried.
9: Was it a cat with ESP...?
10: Maybe it fought using teleportation...

57)
1: Or maybe...
2: it had the ability to push time forward...
3: Mabe that cat could "Control time"...
4: Time?!
5: A cat that could stop time...
6: If so, then it'd be in possession of the strongest ability there is...
7: Good thing it's a cat.
8: But it's not totally unbeatable.
9: Do you hurt, Peggy?
10: Pegahh!
11: You have someone
12: you want to protect, don't you?
13: Pegahh!!

58)
1: --then allow me...
2: to teach you the secrets of CPC.
3: You may not have noticed it yourself,
4: but your basic skills are extremely powerful.
5: First, you must draw the enemy into a place where you have the advantage...
6: Stay above them, in their blind spot.
7: Then, before the enemy notices you,
8: launch the most powerful attack you can!

59)
1: CPC Secret Technique: "Surprise Invincible Punch!!"
2: So cowardly!!
3: Pegaahhhh!!
4: Nyagyahh
5: --but that was the moment
6: when Peggy realized.
7: The cat was female,
8: and pregnant as well.
9: You made a new friend...

60)
1: --Peggy mainly eats raw fish.
2(nb): Wow, you're hungry!
3: Therefore, it costs a bit of money to feed him.
4(2b): So Rinka-san's dad works in the fresh fish corner of the supermarket...
5: Welcome!
6(2b): and buys all the leftover fish for cheap.
7(2b): When Peggy gets hungry, he goes off to welcome dad home.
8: But...
9: You people...you're bothering the customers.
10: Huh? Shuddap.
11: You wanna die, grandpa?!

61)
1(2b): Ahh...I can't believe this! We're already losing money...with them loitering, we'll lose even more customers...
2(small): Manager
3: We'll be bankrupt before we know it...
4: Gwehh?!
5(small): Bankrupt
6(small): Dad gets fired
7(small): No fish
8: Pegaaaaahhh!!
9: Gwahh
10: Peggy!!
11: Wh-what was that bird?!
12: Go gather all the boys!
13: Ah well...

62)
1: Thugs annihilated!!
2: Peh!
3: S...so strong...
4: But this was
5: only the beginning of an endless war...
6: The next day...
7(2b): Hey! Looks like you had some fun with our underlings.
8: We're gonna fuck up your store.
9: Hiiieeeee!
10: Pegahhh!!
11: Gehah!
12: Peggy!
13: Incidentally, penguin punches are apparently strong enough to break noses.
14(small): Muscle

63)
1: Ah well...
2: Uwahh!
3: Then, the next day,
4: Hey, bring out the fishman!
5: and the day after that brought only more of them.
6: The two continued fighting.
7: We're sorry
8: Give up already...
9: Kwehhh!
10: Is our store going to be OK?
11: They soon became legends of the town.
12: You get a bonus, Urushiba-kun!!
background text: The evil army was finally defeated!!

64)
1: --even now,
2: Uwahh!
3: passers-by are surprised to see Peggy.
4: I guess the flying makes him stick out.
5: And he IS a penguin...
6: Be careful, or people will come and try to take him away again...
7: The media's scary.
8: I know it's a bit late, but I decided to camouflage him...
9: I have to let him out, or he'll build up stress...
10(small): plastic bag
11: Kweh!
12: A...a ghost?!
13: That just made him stick out more, I think.

65)
1(2b): Huh? Pen-chan has a bag on today?
2: Eh?
3(2b): Too bad, I wanted to pet him! I even brought some fish!
4: Can I give him some?
5: Peh!
6(2b): You're such a good boy! You took out all those mean boys, didn't you?!
7: Thank you!
8: He's cute AND strong!
9: He's friends with the stray cats too.
10(2b): The fat cat doesn't bully people anymore, and he's really helping out the fish shop.
11: Is he your penguin?
12: Umm...

66)
1: Well, he's not really mine...
2: Just a friend of mine...
3(2b): All of a sudden, Peggy was really popular.
4: Thanks to that,
5: I was able to become better friends with the townspeople too.
6: I hope
7: these days will continue forever.
