INUGAMIHIME NO SHIMOBE
MISUZAWA MICHIRU
1st Mystery: The Castle, The Curse and The Man who Hit the Jackpot

---06

/Inuzuka Taroumaru. 15 years old. 1st year in High School./
/last night, as I was working, I took a glimpse of the strange light that fell and woke up to this.../
/*what the hell happened?*/
Oldie: the curse! so that means...

---07

Oldie: *it's the curse of Inugami-hime!*
-waaaah!-
Inuzuka: /is this a story from long ago?/
Grandma: you cannot run away as long as the white-feathered arrow is in your head.
because it's proof that you are sacrifice, \\ to Inugami-hime, that is...
Inuzuka: huh? Inugami-hime?
Grandma: go to Inugami-hime.

---08

Grandma: *go and die for our village, Inuzuka Taroumaru.*
(!sign) Private Property
Unauthorized Entry is Forbidden
["go there at night, when Inugami-hime is sound asleep."]

---09

["all the children of this village are raised in there."]
["residing atop the mountain is the dreadful Cursed God."] \\ ["a closed passage can be found in the usual path to the summit where trees grow thick. and in there, the chosen sacrifice will find his way towards her."]
["upon giving the sacrifice, the village will can be able to endure the coming disaster."]
Inuzuka: /if I die, who would look after my sister?/
/like I'd fucking die!/
*present-day curse? sacrifice?*
/*I'll give a good beating to that one out there!*/

---10-11

Inuzuka: amazing...

---12

[I've seen what's atop the mountain a long time ago...]
[but looking at it closely, it's so huge!] \\ [this is a hundred times bigger than my run-down room!]
[that Inugamihime must be living the good life out here...]
Inuzuka: p...pardon my intrusion...
wah, so weird!

---13

[is there really someone here?] \\ [I don't feel anyone's presence...]
[what's an Inugami-hime, by the way?] \\ [it must be a bad god to use a curse and sacrifices...]
[*like an evil spirit...or a zombie?*]

---14

Inuzuka: *come out, Inugami-hime!* \\ *I ain't scared of you, damn it!*
[and then, it didn't came out.] \\ [what should I do?]
[I have to do something about this arrow, or else I can't go to work...]

---15

Inuzuka: *gyahii!*
...!
[*the hell! what happened just now?*]
[it must be because of the lightning...]
[calm down,] \\ [calm...]

---16

Mask: *hey, what are you doing?*
SFX: blag!

---17

---18

Hime: mi...na...ri... \\ wa...
^saying a curse

---19

RETREAT!!
Hime: a...ma...

---20

Nene: /Onii-chan!/
/I'll wait for you! I'll wait with the grandparents of the temple!/
/so hurry and come home!/

---21

Inuzuka: /sorry, Nene./
/Onii-chan can't come home.../
[so bright...]

---22

Inuzuka: /an angel?/
/what a super-cute angel! I see...this must be heaven.../
Hime: I'm sorry for what happened earlier... \\ I was just a bit scared of lightning...
what would my servant's name be?
Inuzuka: Inuzuka Taroumaru...
Hime: Taroumaru, was it? I am Aya, Tsukumo Aya.
but since you are my servant, you shall call me Inugamihime-sama. do you understand?

---23

Inuzuka: *you're the Cursed Princess!?*
*hurry up and make this arrow disappear right now!*
*you can't kill me off that easy!*
*I don't really punch women,* \\ *but I'll punch you!*
*I'll give you such a good beating!* \\ *got that?*
Hime: hiii

---24

Inuzuka: /eh? huh? did I overdo it?/
uhmm...sorry. I won't punch you, so you can come out now.
Hime: *low-life.*
*you have been chosen by a high-class god, and yet...*
*instead of being humbled, you chose to be angry. what a petty act!* \\ *you low-life!*
Inuzuka: hey, wait a sec? I'm not really gonna punch you, but leaving that aside... \\ I'm a servant? not a sacrifice, but a servant?
Hime: a servant is a servant. be happy you're a servant, so kneel down.
Inuzuka: ... \\ /so, I'm not gonna be fried to a golden crisp?/
Hime: are you happy, Taroumaru?

---25

Inuzuka: sure...I am...
-I thought I was about to be fried...-
Hime: *that's right! you're finally going along!*
Oldie?: Inugami-hime has been holding the White-Feathered Arrow Ceremony for 16 years...
it's a ceremony to find the suitable low-life to become her servant.
during midnights of her birthday, she climbs atop the castle tower, \\ and uses her white-feathered arrow.
(!flashback) -auuugh...-
-my arm hurts...-
-hnnggh...-

---26

Hime: "will I hit someone?" the thought of it makes me so exci...err, ehem...
Inuzuka: *eeh?*
Hime: then Taroumaru got struck by the arrow and has finally come here!
Inuzuka: *hey, Tatari!*
^tatari means curse
Hime: hmm? tatami?
^tatami means the mat
Inuzuka: so this arrow just naturally fell and hit me? \\ then me getting chosen is just purely coincidental?
Hime: ...
I guess so...
it might be like that!
Inuzuka: /*this is too opposite of a jackpot!*/

---27

Hime: *be glad! your good fortune is crying tears of happiness!*
Inuzuka: *I'm going home.*
Hime: what did you say?
Inuzuka: *I'm going home, so hurry up and make this stupid arrow disappear!*
Hime: -eh?-
I said you're a chosen one! \\ aren't you happy you're Inugami-hime's servant?
Inuzuka: -huuh?-
*like hell I'm happy, stupid!*

---28

Hime: *uhh...*
Inuzuka: *y...you won't fool me with your crying, Cursed God!*
Hime: I'm not cursed!
Aya loves everyone and is a good god!
*hah!*
Inuzuka: *see ya, Tatari!*
/this girl is dangerous! really dangerous!/
/I have to get away fast or I'll get killed!/
!?

---29

Inui: you must not be scared of the Miss. \\ lest her Araidama will awaken!
^violent souls
-so...-
Inuzuka: *what the hell are you?*
Inui: me? I am Inui-san!
Inuzuka: *not your name! I'm asking what kind of creature are you!*
Inui: an Inuhariko?
^papier-mache dog
Inuzuka: *come with me while I process that!*
-Inui-saaaaan!-
Inui: never fret! \\ I am like a god!
| CHINJU! |
^diety

---30

Inuzuka: *a misfire?*
/the hell! maybe after this.../
/Nene will be.../
Nene: -stupid onii-chan! stupid! stupid!-
Inuzuka: *you're like a 4-year old spoiled child,* \\ *Inugami-hime!*

---31

Inuzuka: uhh, hey...
Inui: /she got tired after using her supernatural powers... \\ and me as well...
Inuzuka: *liar! you didn't do anything!*
she got angry too much...
Inui: *the Miss was just happy that she finally got her servant.*

---32

Inui: inside the castle, I eat sweets with her.
ever since the first time I've seen her,
-how fashionable!-
I've become attached to her, so I always drop by at the castle...
so she won't get lonely...
Students: /Inuzuka's spacing out again.../
/can you believe he's a delinquent at our school?/
/that's why he's alone.../
/but he works part-time at Azekura's pachinko store.../

---33

Students: /doesn't he have a lot of money? why would he do that?/
/isn't he going out with some covergirl?/
/ah, probably that type.../
Inuzuka: /damn!/
/I'm nothing like that!/
/I'm just a normal guy! I might be in a poor state, but I don't care!
Hime: /aren't you happy? that's right!/
nnngh...

---34

Inuzuka: hey, Tata...Inugami...
Hime: *I hate you!*
*get home already, to your family, friends, huge helpings of your home sweet home!*
Inuzuka: it's okay for just a short while...
Hime: *eh?*
Inuzuka: you don't like being alone, right?
so, I'll cooperate and help you make some friends.

---35

Hime: f...friends?
having friends... \\ it's not a bad idea...
Inuzuka: what I'm saying is, I'm gonna help you out until you have made a friend!
Hime: really? well, then... \\ *Taroumaru will stay beside me until I have made friends?*
Inuzuka: well, that's the gist of it.

---36

Inuzuka: ...!!
Hime: *you're a good guy, Taroumaru!*
let's start the contract ceremony!
Inuzuka: *huh? what?*
Hime: leave that to me... \\ and for a while...

---37

Inuzuka: /*eh? is this...what I think it is?*/
/*wait a sec! no, go on! no, really, wait a sec!*/
(!kanji surrounding the panel) Contract!
SFX: smooch
Hime: it is done. \\ now, you are my servant.
Inuzuka: eh? ah...
Hime: now, Taroumaru!

---38

Hime: *I am hungry!* \\ *make some food!*
Inuzuka: *huh?* \\ why me?
Hime: of course, since you're my servant!
Inuzuka: *eh?*
Hime: since my servant is my underling, he shall make me food!
your master's orders are... \\ *for absolute compliance* \\ right?
[by any chance, has my life strayed the wrong path?]
(!hime) Master
(!inuzuka) Underling
Hime: -food!-
[but it's too late for me, Inuzuka Taroumaru, 15 years old,] \\ [for my life as a servant has already started.]
