SFX: Dorororo~n dorororo~n
Note: These tanukis sometimes ends sentences with "pe" to sound cute.
Dengo: Monoko, you're a girl so suppress the sound from your stomach a bit more.
That "dondoro dondoro" is noisy.
Dengo: Hey, pull this, if you wanna eat fish you need to work for it, properly.
Monoko: Okay!

SFX: Gachin bah
Monoko: Eh!? Eh!?
What do you mean!?
SFX: Bichi bichi bichi bichi
Dengo: We'll divide these fish at the village. My dad told me to bring more.
We can't eat some and bring back less than this.
Monoko: D... Divide them at the village? Then it'll be a while before I can get any, won't it?
No! I want some here!
Dengo: Shut up!!
I have to do my work or I'll get yelled at by my mom and dad!!!
Side: Greetings.
Hahhahha, this is Raiku Makoto. This time in this manga I've drawn, an extremely beautiful, funand happy, and at times sad and heartless animal world. I hope everyone has fun with that wonderful world.

Page 10:
Dengo: On that point, three months ago,
your dad and mom were eaten by lynxes, weren't they!!?
一匹ぼっちのモノコはエサとれなくても誰にも怒られねえだろ！！？
Since you're alone, even if you don't get any food, nobody gets mad at you, right!!?
Monoko: ......U...
I-I don’t want anyone to get mad at me, but my mom and dad got eaten, didn't they!?

I didn't want to become all alone!
But also, if I don't catch anything myself I can't eat anything!!
They'll be angry at you, but your parents are
bringing back food, too aren't they!!?
Dengo: Shut up!! If, you, a girl, oppose me, a boy,
Who do you think will end up with the fish in the end?

Page 11:
Monoko: UWAAN! UWAAN!!
Dengo: Stop crying!!
縄張りにおいて
Even though your parents were eaten, you got your own territory! Feel thankful!!
SFX: Dorororo~n dorororo~n
Monoko: UWAaAN! UWAaAN!!
Dengo: Be quiet!!
If you want to eat fish, go to the shallow part of the river and catch them by hand!!
I'm not lending you the net! It belongs to the village!!
SFX: ZUbabababa~n gebobobo~n

Monoko: Uu... It's cold~~
I knew it, in winter you can't catch fish without a net.
SFX: Gata gata gata gata gata

Piman: Hahhahha, you sure are energetic for it being such a cold day!!
Monoko: Uwaa...

Monoko: Just looking at him and my heart is pounding...
I'm happy...
Piman, what're you doing here?
Piman: Ah!!

Page 24: Dengo's dad: Monokoooo!!
What on earth did you pick up!!?
Monoko: Be quiet, Dengo's dad!!
Are you saying I should've left this cute child alone!? You idiot!!
Dengo's dad: C...
Cute...
Dengo's dad: I-It's not a matter of whether he's cute or not!!!
I told you, in this winter with so little food, we can't sustain any children besides tanukis!!!
Monoko: Fine! I don't expect any food from the village!!!
I'll handle it somehow!!
I'm going to cow-san.
I'll be back with milk!!!

Page 25:
Dengo: H... Hey, Monoko, right now?
It's night right now! It's dangerous!!
Going out to the cows is going out or territory!!!
Who knows what kind of beasts you'll meet along the way!!?
And since two months ago, a huge Lynx called "Kurokagi" has been around there!!
Our people are getting lots and lots of fish!!
And a lynx is what beast ate your parents, right!?
It's the same with cows!!
How can you get any milk!!?
Tanuki's and cows have a different "cry"!!
Same with lynxes!!
If you've got a different cry you won't be able to communicate, right!!?
SFX: Moo~~~ (cow), Nya~~ (lynx), Gyau Gyau (dengo).

Page 26:
Dengo: You can't speak to the cows in order to get milk, can you!?
If you take it yourself, the cows'll get mad!!!
Monoko: U...
SFX: Gu...
Monoko: I'm... Going...
It's dangerous so I can't bring the baby with me, but don't touch him.
Dengo: Monoko!!!
Monoko: It's all right for me to have a family, too, isn't it!!?
Why are you just being mean to me!!?
That child I found is important to me!!!
He's my family!!!
After these hours that child has gotten really weary...
If he doesn't eat something soon it'll get bad...

Page 27:
Monoko: I won't let that child die!!!
Dengo (or somebody): You idiot!! It's not even daytime! If you go out of our territory at night, we can't come save you!!!
What about the child!? Could we try giving it tanuki mother's milk?
Old guy: We could try giving him tanuki milk, but...
Dengo: N? What is it, grandpa?
Old guy: This child's eyes are...
This child, already...

Page 28:
SFX: Chuuuchuuu
SFX: Kyuh

What's wrong, baby!? Why won't you drink it!?
If you don't drink it, you'll die!!

Page 37:
Old guy: Monoko...
It's unfortunate, but that child's already done for...

Page 38:
Old guy: Monoko... Have you looked at that child's eyes?
They look faintly into the distance... Have you noticed, they have no light?
That baby has turned away from "living".
Before you found him, maybe he met with some dreadful experiences...?
His body has rejected living...
Therefore... he won't even drink the milk...
Monoko: When... when... I held him, he laughed!
This child laughed!!

Page 39:
Monoko: Hey, hey, baby.
You're high, hiiigh up,
High, hiiiiiiigh up!!
Old guy: There's no helping it... Things with no will to live are done for...
Give up on him... Even with tanuki children, if they are not strong, we give up on them and move on. That is a law of nature...
Anyway... I'm glad you at least returned safely...
That's how I feel...
............
Snow... is falling...

Page 40:
Monoko: Just where...
did you come from?
Where's your mommy?
Why were you floating down a river...?
Why...
I know "why you were floating down a river"...
Is it because... you're not gonna live anymore...?

You have to cry when you're sad, don't you!!?
You have to cry when you're hungry, don't you!!?
Why're you laughing!!?
I've never once heard the sound of you crying!!
Babies have to cry, don't they!!?
