My Own Picture Diary

My name is Silver.

On my twelfth birthday,

Awful brat

Mom and Dad turned to stone

Upset!

my Father and Mother were turned to stone.

Cast into their final days by the magic of a boy,

whose spell can only be broken by someone so strong as Queen Buretsu.

Really, can I ever catch a break around here?! Grumble, grumble...

September's Journey I

Prime Minister Chameleon and the Crayon Ministers said

that if I can't get rid of my twelve bad habits, I'll never get to be like Queen Buretsu!

That's right.

The Crayon Kingdom has yet to have a ruler to surpass Queen Buretsu.

Super pretty, with a wonderful personality, and no Bad Habits whatsoever!

I have no Bad Habits, either!

Snap

I didn't cast a spell on you, so why are you turning to stone?

Jokes aside, let's get on with searching for that boy.

I suppose.

Why..!

Mister, did you happen to see a boy in a yukata come through here on a white horse yesterday?

Yes, I saw it. If it's him, then...

he went that-a-way, fast as the wind.

Toward the Citadel, huh?

Please show me your passport.

What a pain...

You may pass.

Ah! Your Highness!

By all means, go on ahead.

Splendid work.

Unlike you, I don't need a passport to be recognized.

One of the Twelve Bad Habits—a habit of bragging!

W-What's that?!

I simply spoke the truth!

Humph

Don't think you can laugh this off!

That's a Bad Habit, too.

Now, let's get a move on.

This is a straight path, isn't it?

That boy must have crossed the September Bridge and escaped towards the village..

September Bridge?

I don't see any bridge...

This may be a straight path, but it stretches as far as the eye can see...

Must we walk all that way?

That's enough chatter. Let's go.

Hold it! Wait up a minute, you two!

A lady is carrying a heavy, packed case, and you're off at a moment's notice?

For real? Wouldn't you usually offer to hold it for her?

You're right. I better get that for you.

Hey, now!

We may have promised Prime Minister Chameleon we would accompany you on this journey,

but we are not your caretakers.

So treat us as you would partners—with mutual respect.

Your troubles are your own.

Dismissed.

Gosh, he's one cheeky chicken... He doesn't know when to shut up.

But if you get to know him, you'll find that there's a good side to him.

Truth be told, I would love to take care of you, Princess.

But we have another duty to fulfill on this journey.

Aren't you gonna help me find that insolent boy?

We will help with that.

But I need to deliver this package to the Hamburger Kingdom and the Rice Ball Kingdom.

Package?

Engagement presents.

Come to think of it, the Rice Ball Kingdom's Prince Good and the Hamburger Kingdom's Princess Salad were engaged.

Exactly.

- Then, Araessa... - Yeah, Araessa!

Stop!

Prime Minister Chameleon entrusted me

with a top secret mission.

I can't speak a word of it, not even to the Princess.

Look at him, putting on airs...

In such a heartbreaking state...

Oh, Your Majesty, how painful it looks..!

Come in!

Madame Killup and Mrs. Puuchi! Is something the matter?

Actually, we have a request to ask of you.

What do you have in mind?

When I was working as the Chief of the National Library, I read this in a book:

"He who casts magic which turns people to stone is the God of Death."

What?! The God of Death?!

Yet the God of Death was overthrown and then sealed off by Queen Buretsu!

We have to make use of it!

Indeed we should.

Madame Killup, where was the God of Death sealed away?

In the December Village.

The December Village, huh?

Someone call Minister Grey, stat!

Aw, the September Bridge is still nowhere to be seen!

Here goes...

Oh, I'm all worn out!

I'm too tired to walk...

A piggyback ride, please.

Stop it! Being a liar is a bad habit!

That's definitely not something Queen Buretsu would do.

I'm not a liar.

Stonston, a giant snake lurks this area, right?

Oh, yeah. A snake so big that it eats cows in one gulp.

Nooo! I can't stand snakes!

You're not tired at all, are you?!

You tricked me!

What's the matter?

I-It's the giant snake!

You won't fool me. Don't try and pull my le—

Don't tell me...

Let's escape to the forest!

We somehow managed to get away from that snake, but now we're completely lost.

I'm so glad I had my super-helpful companions here with me!

Hello? Silver speaking.

Oh, my dear Princess Silver! Are you doing well?

I'm not well at all!

Did something happen?

These two aren't being helpful in the least. Hurry and send in some substitutes!

I'm afraid that can't be arranged. Those two were deemed the most fickl—

No, I'd go so far as to say they're our most excellent.

If that's the case, how did they get us lost right after leaving the castle?

Your Majesty, at a time like this, you should make use of the perfume bag inside your vanity case.

Huh? Oh, right! There are a bunch of items inside of there that I can use.

Your Majesty!

Where in the suitcase..?

How about this?

Huh? How am I supposed to use this thing?

A-And what is that?

C-Corn?! Sure looks tasty!

Speak for yourself, pork.

I am one of the twelve Vegetable Spirits— it's Tomorokovsky, baby!

(Tomorokovsky a play on toumorokoshi, 'Maize'/corn.)

One of twelve, eh? I want to see them all!

Wow, amazing!

One, two, three, four...

Huh? There are supposed to be twelve of you, but I can only make out eleven.

Oh, there's one more in the back there!

Aw, you're a shy one, aren't you?

Hello, everyone! My name is Silver. I'm the Crayon Kingdom's Princess.

So this time our master is a Princess, eh?

So allow the eldest of the Twelve to introduce you.

Even in my old age, my skin is so smooth they mistake me for a young lad! I'm Tofumon!

Someone who takes three hours-long baths is in no way young.

Name's Umekero. If you need any money counted, leave it to me!

(Name stems from umeboshi, Japanese pickled plums)

I'm Tomatomato!

- She's scary-carroty when mad. - Ninjippi, that was uncalled for!

Currently working as a salaryman, Sososonasu, present.

I am Cabbetta, an aspiring actress.

A prima donna!

A damsel-in-distress!

Whatever the scene calls for.

Next up, hailing from our High-School Senior Trio...

It's Negeek! I possess a brain with an IQ of 300!

(Pun on negi, or 'Bunching onion', plus 'Geek')

I can solve all sorts of difficult problems in an instant.

I doubt you'll be able to make use of my full potential.

Name's Nobilger.

(A play on nobi, or 'growth', since he's a bamboo shoot)

I'll take care of the fighting and manual labour!

I'm Houreso, or Houresore. Either one's fine.

(Spinach hourensou plus adverb sorezore, 'to each their own')

Call me Gomaato.

(goma is the Japanese word for sesame.)

I'm telling you, my body may be small, but don't you make light of me.

Um...

('Carrot' is ninjin in Japanese.)

You're Ninjippi, right? I remembered.

I'm Renkopocchi. My body is frail, so try not to overwork me.

(renkon, the submerged root of a lotus flower. Used as food or in traditional medicine.)

Aw, poor thing! Want to come up here?

Oh, your lap is so soft...

She's the same as ever, always using her weakness as a way to garner sympathy...

It's no lie!

And that's about everyone who'll be helping out from here on, Your Highness. My twelve friends!

But remember that you may only summon us once a day.

Got it. Let's all work together!

Then I'll use this chance.

Nobilger, can you hold this for me?

Roger!

Now that's what I call a companion.

Well, Stonston, Araessa, I guess this is where we part ways.

Part ways?!

Since they will be aiding me on this journey, you should go ahead and get to your important missions.

Could you guys please lead me to the September Bridge?

Yeah!

Araessa, are we going to let them get away with this?

You think we can trust those Vegetables?

They're in quantity over quality.

We're left with no choice. Stonston, follow them.

I have a plan.

I'll meet up with you later, so mark the trees so that I can follow behind you.

Then I'll use this.

Oh! T-This is...

- What do we do? - They're gonna find out that the seal was broken!

Calm yourselves!

Inform Minister Grey at once!

Are we at the September Bridge yet?

I've never heard of this September Bridge.

- Me neither... - It's news to me too!

Hey! You all sounded so confident!

I thought one of us knew where it was, you see...

For real?

Oh yeah! Negeek, you know where it is, right?

I do believe the September Bridge is in the western part of the forest...

If that's the case, we should head west.

Which way is west?

In times like these, look to the sun.

That 300 IQ of yours isn't so great after all.

In times like these, street smarts are better than book smarts.

What other methods are there?

Around this time, the wind blows west, so we could continue in the wind's direction.

I see! The wind is...

...blowing over here! Let's go that way!

Wait!

Here she goes again, the little contrarian!

Not like it matters.

True, the wind is currently blowing, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a western wind!

Get on with it already.

I left the laundry to dry,

and I have to do the grocery shopping for dinner.

To be honest, I was in the midst of preparing for a date. I'd like to get back there as soon as possible, too, Miss.

Anyway, let's go the way the wind is blowing!

I refuse. I'll be over here, by myself.

W-Wait a minute!

If you insist...

Prime Minister Chameleon, it's terrible!

It's just as you feared, Prime Minister!

Our seal on the God of Death was... It was struck by lightning, you see!

And the ward has been undone!

I knew it!

Well, the cave that the God of Death was imprisoned in...

It was completely empty!

T-This is terrible news indeed!

Hang on... this is a dead end!

No, it's up that waterfall!

How are we supposed to get up there?!

W-Well...

It's time for my date...

That bargain sale is almost over. Hurry up and return us!

I'll charge you extra from the next time you ask for my help.

Fine! Let's go back in the direction of the wind!

The wind is gone.

Then I don't even know where to begin!

- Your Majesty, I'm tired... - Carry us!

Don't you think I want to be held, too?!

- I gotta pee... - Boy, am I hungry!

Hey, be quiet!

Someone's calling.

- Hello? - Miss Princess Silver?

What do you want? These twelve Vegetables or whatever aren't making themselves useful!

You summoned all of them at once?!

With that many, it's no wonder you can't control them well!

Anyway, they're being noisy, so how do I send them back?

First, go and get out your perfume bag.

"Vegetables are best for your health!"

"If you eat lots of them, you'll grow big and strong! Yeah!"

A shout like that should be fine.

W-What was that..?

Here goes nothing...

Vegetables are the best for your health!

If you eat lots, you'll grow big and strong!

Ta-da!

- Your Majesty? - What now?

The God of Death has been resurrected.

Say again?!

His Majesty was turned to stone by a boy, right? So the God of Death... must have transformed into him!

Got it. If that boy is the God of Death, it's all the more reason to find him and talk some sense into him!

D-Don't even think about it! If the God of Death is reborn,

then I'm sure he will be targeting you, as the inheritor to Queen Buretsu's bloodline! Head back to the Castle!

I'm not coming back!

Don't say that!

In the Chronicles of Queen Buretsu, it says that only someone with

the Queen's wisdom and courage can defeat the God of Death!

In other words, I'm the only one who can beat the God of Death!

That's one way to look at it...

Anyway, my journey continues!

Okay! Let's do this!

Hey, guys!

Oh yeah... they all went home.

Being on my own actually is scary!

Oh right... I can only call them once per day...

Why did this have to happen now?

Don't leave me all alone!

Good grief, what a troublesome Princess.

Did you forget that we're here for you?

Araessa! Stonston!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- Did you learn a little something? - Uh-huh!

Do you see what you've done to my nose?

If you're going on a journey, you need a map and a compass.

Where'd you get that?

We borrowed it from the locals.

Yaaay! If I have these,I can escape from this spooky forest!

When I see that smile, I can't help but indulge her!

Her smile is as soft as an angel's!

You could say that.

We finally made it out!

Look! It's the September Bridge!

And they have dumplings!

My stomach's grumbling!

Mine, too.

Come on!

The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams

We arrived at Skunk Village!

The God of Death..!

He's shown himself at last!

Turn my Mother and Father back right now!

You got everyone angry!

Huh? What do skunks do when they're angry?

The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams: September's Journey II!

It's a brainstorm!
