Title: Told since ancient time in Japan/
The Heroic tale of a battle

Panel 1:
The protagonist was a female crab.
While walking with a rice ball,
she was noticed by a sly monkey
(Bottom right of panel): Huh!?
The monkey proposed to trade his persimmon seed for the rice ball.
The values were uneven.
It was an unfair trade!
(Bottom left of panel): A fight with a monkey!?

Panel 2:
The crab grew a magnificent persimmon tree.
However, she could not harvest the fruits with her own body.
The monkey noticed the situation once again.
He said he will help fetch the fruits and climbed the tree---

Panel 3:
While he himself was eating the ripe fruits,
he began to throw persimmon that were still hard and unripe at the crab!
(Bottom left): A fight with a monkey, seriously!?



Page 2
Panel 1:
The crab was on the verge of death.
The little crabs that were left behind
swore revenge against the monkey.
The powerless little crabs
requested help from four warriors who took pity!

The four panels:
Chestnut
Bee
Mortar
Cow dung, are the four heroes.

Middle panel:
They fought using their respective skills
And defeated the monkey with their brilliant teamwork.
...And the tale of the battle

Bottom panel:
---Shall begin now.
Huh!? The combat is this!?



Page 3
Panel 1:
Once upon a time, in some place---
Wait! There really was a fight between a crab and a monkey!!?/
It's different from what I imagined after seeing the cover illustration--!!!

Panel 2
There lived a crab
Huh---!!?* TL's Note: She (Himeko) speaks in the special dialect of Osaka (Kansai-ben), which is different from the Japanese most people speak.

Panel 3:
Ten days...
Bubble(top): W...wait, excuse me!!
...Ah? What is it?
Bubble(bottom): Is the design of this crab really ok!!?

Panel 4:
It's fine.
I tried but it was hard to to personify a crab.
Bubble: It's not right!! This design isn't good after all!
That's not a problem. What would you like to go with?
How about this form here? (with the arrow)
Bubble: Actually, this one'll be fine!!

Panel 5:
Ten days ago.../
This crab's mother fought a big battle/
With the mischievous monkey from the neighboring mountain.



Page 4
Panel 1:
What started out as an argument between occult and science,
Escalated to a violent war.
Bubble: What are you talking about!?

Panel 2:
In the end, the crab lost to the monkey's "Green Persimmon Cannon" and bore the injuries----

Panel 3:
With his natural enemy gone, the monkey did as he pleased.
Bubble: Awful!!

Panel 4:
It's alright. Divine punishment will for sure be carried out.
No...Before that, I wonder if my daughter will seek revenge...

Panel 5:
Fuhahahahaha
Mom...

Panel 6:
Guess it can't be helped. I'm gonna avenge my mom.
The little crab is determined to fight.



Page 5
Panel 1:
But what should I do...With a body like this, I can't win against the monkey...

Panel 2:
I need allies.

Panel 3:
Combat team recruitment!!
Searching for comarades to help defeat the monkey in the neighboring mountain!
(The reward has been taken care of)
Number of people---A few
The interview will be at the crab home
Come, brave people!
(Beside the monkey drawing): Stop!

Panel 4:
The little crab tried to recruit allies.
Hm...
No one came.

Panel 5:
Guess this leaflet will only attract curious people...

Panel 6:
What am I gonna do if only weird people show up...?
No, I can't say that when people go to the trouble of coming here.

Panel 7:
Hello-
Ah!/
Someone's here!



Page 6+7
Panel 1:
GOOD DAY----!!!
Wah!!
Waaaaahhh------!!!

Panel 2:
Only weirdos!!!
Sorry for the disturbance--

Panel 3:
Um--
Well...

Panel 4:
Can you introduce yourselves?

Panel 5:
How about/
The...small person.
?
Do you see anyone else by that description?

Panel 6:
I'm a chestnut.
My name is Mont Blanc*. TL's Note: As in the dessert that contains chestnuts. LOL
Chestnut!!?

Panel 7:
Wait a minute! You definitely can't fight!!
Even smaller than I am!/
You can't be useful!!!
Please don't insult me even if I'm small.



Page 8
Panel 1:
I daresay I can eat several tens of times more than you, crab-san.
Like I said, that's useless!!/
Why does a chestnut eat so much!!

Panel 2:
Fine, next!
Hey you.
Who are you?

Panel 3:
...

Panel 4:
(In REALLY tiny font) I'm a bee.
What!?

Panel 5:
C...can't hear you at all! What?
I'm a b...bee. My name is Honey Comb.

Panel 6:
A bee I see.../
If the chestnut is in actual size, why are you so huge?
Sorry that I'm so big...
No, it's not that bad.



Page 9
Panel 1:
Well, it'll be reassuring to have bee-san around./
Nice to meet you.
Ok.

Panel 2:
And/
Next...

Panel 3:
...

Panel 4:
What are you?
(Beside the guy): Shock

Panel 5+6:
Nothing

Panel 7:
Mortar.
No one can tell!!



Page 10
Panel 1:
Mortar you say!!/
Are you serious!? You are just a tool used to make mochi*!! *Sticky rice cake
Why is a mortar fighting a monkey in the first place!?

Panel 2:
F, fine. I'll ask for the time being.
What can you do?

Panel 3:
.........

Panel 4:
The mark of pure white.
Making mochi!?

Panel 5:
What are you gonna with the mochi in front of the monkey!? You think this is a festival!?
This isn't a game! If you're not gonna help out, just go home!

Panel 6:
Just look at your stupid appearance! You think you are the Great Mixer or something? You are just a piece of wood!
Ahh---! What;s all this---I beg of you, at least let some living creatures come here---

Panel 7:
Sigh, nothing I can do. Next.
The...brown person over there.



Page 11
Panel 1:
......
........

Panel 2:
What's with you?
Huh? What is it?
It's just...you are the only one that I can't figure out./
Why are you wearing tights? What are you supposed to be?

Panel 3:
Um~~.../
...Well
I'm poop.
Poo.../
Huh!!?

Panel 4:
Huh!!? Poop!? You're lying right? Seriously?
Yes, cow dung to be exact.
What's with this person!!

Panel 5:
This time I'm going to say it from the bottom of my heart./
Why did a poop come here!?!?!
But...If I put my mind into it, I'm confident that there's no way I'm gonna lose...
It's impossible for poop to ever have motivation!!/
I mean, one of the heroes in the story, a poop!!



Page 12
Panel 1:
Nothing

Panel 2:
Well, since we went through such trouble to assemble together/
Let's just fight the monkey with this team.
If anyone has a good strategy, speak up.

Panel 3:
I have one.
What is it, Mont Blanc.

Panel 4:
Because I'm a chestnut, I'm the monkey's favorite food.
That's why this body...can be used as a lure.

Panel 5:
L...lure.../
Mont Blanc, you...

Panel 6:
Here's the plan:
First, place some food in the monkey's path. I will be hiding inside as well.

Page 7:
The monkey will get closer when he sees the food.



Page 13:
Panel 1:
And then eat it all.
You're eating it!!!

Panel 2:
What would you eating the food do!?
I can eat much more than you, crab-san. (On the side: Fufufu)
What kind of plan is this!! Sounds like you're just gonna eat dessert outside!!

Panel 3:
This is hopeless./
What else!
I have something.
Oh! Well then, Honey Comb.

Panel 4:
I have a needle coming out of my butt.
Oh yeah!/
That's very good, very good!!

Panel 5:
The plan is to first somehow capture the monkey...

Panel 6:
And then I---



Page 14
Panel 1:
Throw him violently.
And the needle!?

Panel 2:
What about the needle!! Aren't you gonna to use it!?
My specialty is superhuman strength.
That has nothing to do with being a bee!!!

Panel 3:
Anyway it's still too early to be talking about it! We have to first catch the monkey!
You...you are right.
No good! Next!

Panel 4:
What is it, mortar?
Don't just sit there raising your hand like that, say what's on your mind.

Panel 5:
...

Panel 6:
Tan-Pet-Tan* *The sound of striking the mochi.
Pounding Mochi!?/
Don't say it like Cha-La Head-Cha-La*! *The first opening song of Dragonball Z.



Page 15
Panel 1:
Ah...
Excuse me...um...
Me too.
Oh?

Panel 2:
Um...
What are you again...?
Poop.
Oh yeah, poop./
So what is it?

Panel 3:
How about this?/
First, everyone goes to the monkey's home and hide inside.
And once the monkey comes back we'll attack him from the inside.
It's called the Ambush Tactic.

Panel 4:
We have no chance of winning against the monkey if we fight outside. But if we do it inside the house, then it's possible.
...
Ah! Don't mind me! I'm just a poop, you can forget what I said.

Panel 5:
Nonono, even though you are a poop, what you said is very true./
You deserve to be something better.
Ah really? I'm very ashamed of my social standing.
You're a pretty good tactician. Are you sure you're a poop?



Page 16
Panel 1:
But still...even using that strategy, with the powers of this team, it's gonna be really hard.
I can't think of a good way to attack either.

Panel 2:
Hm...
Mm...

Panel 3:
...
...

Panel 4:
Ah./
Can the poop say something?
Oh?/
What is it? What is it?
Go ahead and say anything you want!

Panel 5:
This is just a poop speaking, but how about we all concentrate on one single attack, at the same time, with each person using his or her own special skills?

Panel 6:
Mont Blanc-san inside the hearth
Honey Comb-san behind the miso barrel
Crab nee-san inside the water jar
Mortar-san above the doorway
And I, being the poop, will be directly below on standby.



Page 17
Panel 1:
When the monkey comes back, first the hot Mont Blanc-san will jump out and then Bang!
As he goes to the miso to cover his burn, Honey Comb-san will go PRICK!
As he goes to cool his wounds, Crab nee-san will Cut!
If he runs outside, he will step on me, the poop!
And then mortar-san will do the finish blow, THUD!

Panel 2:
...And that's my strategy.../
What do you think?
No, sorry! It must stink like poop!

Panel 3:
After all...um,/
I'm just some excrement!
Say, isn't the room stinking of poop? Is everyone ok?

Panel 4:
Y...

Panel 5:
You're a genius!!
Thanks!!
Alright! Let's go to the monkey's house and be on standby!!
The poop was a considerably sharp guy.



Page 18
Panel 1:
On the other hand, The monkey at that time---

Panel 2:
Today he is back again from a day of utter violence.
Tomorrow I think I'll pee from the sky. Heh heh.

Panel 3:
Remember this.

Panel 4:
You will for sure receive divine punishment.
This wish reached the heavens---

Panel 5:
Sakyamuni* appeared and gave divine punishment to the monkey. *A Buddha
You made me really angry. Here's death penalty.



Page 19
Panel 1:
He was pinned under the mountain.
Gah!!
After that, he was imprisoned for a long time.

Panel 2:
Eventually he became the servant of a monk named Sanzo, and went on a journey together with him.
But that's another story.

Last panel:
He's still not here...
...
Ah...sorry, I have to go poop...!!
