My Own Picture Diary

We reached a village next to the sea, chasing the God of Death, but ended up being chased ourselves!

What was that all about?

Anyway, we got ourselves outta there, and now we're on an island to get its fragrant olives.

WHALE

It's for Araessa's important mission, see.

GOD OF DEATH

But Araessa is trying to find out if Mrs. Tiger, his foster mother, has really disappeared.

I swear, there's never a dull moment around here!

Let's do this!

October's Journey IV

Hey, are you sure this is the island with the fragrant olives?

All I see is a cliff.

growl...

I can see all the famous tasty foods! Yaaaaaay!

Oh, Stonston...

Something is giving off a tasty kind of smell...

A tasty kind of smell?

This smell is... like... like...

That's it! It's like the smell of canned peaches!

So the island's famous food must be canned peaches!

Canned peaches?

Ah! C-Canned peaches were Mrs. Tiger's favourite food! She really must be here!

Whatever it is, we have to climb this cliff to find out.

But when you're in need...

Yes, yes!

Oh? Long time no see.

My IQ is 300 as always, so how about I aid you in your insignificant troubles?

Huuuuh? We only get Negeek?!

Everyone's a bit busy in their respective fields today.

So consider yourself lucky that I heeded your call.

With my superior intellect by your side, there's no problem you can't solve.

Oh?

How about you find us a way up this jagged cliff, then?

Hm?

That's an excellent question.

Just you leave it to me.

I know you like to play it cool, but are you sure about that?

Canned peaches! There are canned peaches!

Ah!

Someone's passed through here.

Your mystery's solved!

Huh?!

A stone staircase?

Just as I'd thought.

All thanks to my superb observational skills.

They're only stone stairs...

Whoa!

They stretch for as far as the eye can see...

Ah!

This is it!

What?

T i g e r

T i g e r

This means Mrs. Tiger must have come by. See, I told you she'd be on this island!

Let's go.

Waaaaah! How much farther does this stone staircase stretch on for?!

By my count, it's about 200 more steps.

Eh?!

Think of it as one final stretch.

We're getting closer and closer to the canned peaches I smell!

Now that you mention it, there is a bit of a pleasant scent in the air,

but... it's not canned peaches!

Canned Chinese plums, then!

You...

Agh... My legs are starting to give way!

I can't walk any farther!

Here we go again...

You're going to stop here, Princess Silver?

I'll stop! Since we already know Mrs. Tiger is here, you two can go on without me.

I'll be waiting right here.

That's fine and all, but we could be gone for hours.

Won't it be scary at night?

Huh?

You'll grow hungry.

Won't it be scary at night?

You'll grow hungry.

Hey! Wait for me! You're right, I should go with you!

We're done...

Now I'm finished. I can't walk any farther.

Ah!

Wow, it's beautiful! Are these the fragrant olive trees?

This smell... Canned peaches?!

Or could it be the canned Chinese plums?

You're mistaken!

Huh?

It's the odour of fragrant olives.

It never was the odour of canned peaches, nor that of canned Chinese plums!

Gyaaaaa...!

Shock

Where the heck could Mrs. Tiger be?

Oh!

There's a shrine right up there!

Really?

Let's keep going, then!

Wa-hoo!

This must be where all those famous tasty treats are!

I was getting a little hungry and thirsty, to be honest.

Menu

Hello there!

May I take your order, please?

(In the Shinto religion, Funadama is a spirit that protects ships.)

Funadama\hred-bean\hpancakes

You don't serve anything other than Funadama red-bean pancakes.

Four helpings of the Funadama Shrine special— Funadama red-bean pancakes, coming up!

Are you kidding me? We didn't even order them!

Not like we could order anything else.

You do have to wonder what those Funadama red-bean pancakes'll taste like!

Araessa, how's your important mission coming along?

O-Oh, right! Guess I'll see you later.

Here are your Funadama red-bean pancakes!

Gee, they sure look good!

Don't mind if I do!

You're not gonna let us eat?

You may eat after you pay the bill.

Huh?! We have to pay in advance?

Yes!

You're kidding me...

How much?

Four Funadama red-bean pancakes will be 4000 yen!

4000 yen?! That's expensive!

I'm not going to pay all that for some red-bean pancakes!

Then I'll be having them myself.

Wa..! Aw, man...

We don't have any other option.

Hmph...

In that case, we can each pay for our own.

Ah. It would appear you're as cheap as ever.

Yes, buy it, buy it, and buy some more!

Let's dig in!

W-What is this?! Bleh! Yuck!

The pancake became a leaf..!

And the bean-jam's mud!

Wait a second... What just happened?

Something's unmistakably strange about this shrine.

As if we couldn't tell that much...

Waaaah! My red-bean pancakes..!

Where's Araessa?

Huh? He left with the camera some time ago.

Let's look for him.

Mrs. Tiger isn't here, either...

Come to think of it, this shrine must not be very popular. I don't see any visitors here.

Hey, you.

Huh?

I take it you hadn't heard photography is prohibited?

Prohibited? Nothing of the sort.

The fine is 10000 yen.

A 10000-yen fine?!

Araessa!

Ah, Princess Silver!

Phew, an officer!

Boy, am I glad to see you. Some shady guys have tricked us into buying pancakes made with leaves!

That must be the work of the foxes that live on this island!

By that logic, wouldn't you be considered a fox as well?

Fox or no fox, I am a police officer!

One owed a 10000-yen fine, at that.

A fine?!

Apparently photography is prohibited here, so...

Princess Silver, could you please spare some money?

Forget it. I just paid for your portion of the meal back there!

And it's 10000 yen!

But I don't have quite enough to cover that...

You leave me no choice.

You're under arrest.

What?! No way!

Ah, wait! I'll pay! I'll just have to pay, right?

Can you lower the fee?

To what?

How's 1000 yen sound?

That's ten times lower!

I won't settle for less than 2000! And that's my final offer!

OK.

Yes, buy it, buy it, and buy some more!

I'm almost all out of money now, thanks to Araessa.

Um, Officer.

Have you a wild cat by the name of Mrs. Tiger traveling around these parts?

A-A tiger, huh? I wouldn't know...

Say... Go and have a word with the Head Priest of Funadama Shrine.

Maybe he could tell you.

Funadama Shrine...

This is one eerie-looking place...

Where's the Head Priest? We have to find him!

Hm...

I sense something's up.

Observation for four will be 10000 yen.

- Wha—?! - Heheh...

Naturally...

A tiger? Don't know.

I know nothing, honestly!

Of course not...

They keep stressing that "Oh, I don't know," stuff.

What's going on here?

Oof!

What's this painting of?

Which one?

Oh..?

That painting depicts the God of Death accelerating death.

You're saying that's the God of Death?!

Indeed. The God of Death turns his victims to stone,

sapping years of life force from them.

Once he'd lived to the age of 4,290, his death was accelerated.

By doing this, the God of Death extended his own life by 4,290 years.

Turns his victims to stone..?

So why is the painting here?

Well, the God of Death has a bit of history with this place.

This is where he fought and lost to Queen Buretsu before being sealed off.

Queen Buretsu?

So when I was building this Shrine, I found this painting buried in the ground.

So the painting was the God of Death's.

Yep. Now we've attained peace, but who knows how long it'll be until the God of Death rises once more?

Ehehehe! Hey, behind you!

Aaah!

Pheeew

Don't scare us like that!

The seal that was holding the God of Death is already broken...

Could that mean...?

The one in this painting looks like an old woman, though.

The God of Death targets the elderly.

The older they are, the faster he can age to 4,290 years, you see.

Besides, those with brave-sounding names were preferred.

Bear, Leopard, Falcon, Tiger...

Tiger?!

Tiger? There's no way it could be the same Tiger Araessa's looking for, right?

I-It can't possibly be!

There are tons of old women out there named Tiger!

Have you fellows come looking for someone?

How about I offer you spiritualism?

Spiritualism? What's that?

I will summon spirits from the underworld, and they will tell you anything you'd like to know.

We can do that sort of thing?

Of course.

This is completely unscientific.

That's right! This has to be bogus!

You're just trying to get some more money from us!

But we won't know unless we give it a shot!

I guess we'll give it a shot.

Huh?

Talking with the dead will cost you 30,000 yen.

Um... huh..?

Told you...

Yes, buy it, buy it, and buy some more!

A-hem!

I wonder what their spiritualism involves...

Who knows..?

Aah!

(festival music onomatopoeia mixed with fox onomatopoeia)

Onbasara kon kon chiki no gon chiki chin

Onbasara kon kon chiki no gon chiki chin

This is pretty scary..!

Onbasara kon kon chiki no gon chiki chin

Onbasara kon kon chiki no gon chiki chin

kon kon chiki no gon chiki chin kon!

Aaaaaaaaah!

W-What happened?

I think it died...

Waaaah!

Now, if you have any questions, now's the time.

Where is Mrs. Tiger?

Aaaah!

Cow... Bear... Leopard... Rhinoceros... Falcon... Tiger.

Each and every one nourished the God of Death's body and soul.

They enriched the God of Death's body and soul?!

It's okay, Araessa. This is all just a scam, anyway!

A scam?! How dare you!

Our spiritualism is never off the mark about anything!

I knew it all along..!

Waaaaah! Mrs. Tiger! After I came all this way for you..!

Mrs. Tiger is dead!

There, there. No need to cry.

M-Mrs. Tiger!

Mrs. Tiger?!

Huh?

How did I end up in here..?

I remember going to an island looking for fragrant olives....

I drank the sacred wine at the shrine and then...

Oh!

Hehe...

Is that you, Araessa?!

Of course! I knew the crying voice I heard was familiar!

It was my little crybaby Araessa!

That was only when I was a baby..!

By the way, what brings you all the way here?

What brings me here? I heard that you never returned from your trip, Mrs, Tiger, so I came looking for you!

Aw, is that so?

Yeah, I'm really glad you're okay.

Ah!

Where are you going?

What the heck is going on around here?! Explain!

O-Oh, uuummmm...

Great Fox Divinity

Great Fox Divinity

You're not getting away!

Rip

Oof

Oh... that's..!

I see! Both the waitress and the policeman...

You were playing both parts!

Aaargh..!

But why is Mrs. Tiger here?

Mrs. Tiger, drank the sacred wine here, did you not?

Yeah, the wine that this fox here offered me!

Most likely this wine contained a drug that put you under his control.

You dirty little sly fox..!

Please, forgive me!

Tourists have stopped coming to this shrine since long ago...

I thought that hosting some spiritualist performances could attract some customers...

Stop messing around! You had us waste nearly all of our money on your foolish antics!

I can't forgive that!

Please... I'll never do it again!

I'll give you guys all of the money you spent back!

That won't quite cut it! You made us eat red-bean pancakes made of mud!

You have every right to be mad at me.

This is the Shrine's greatest treasure, which has been passed down for generations.

Please acept it as a sign of my apology.

Yay! Are you sure it's okay?

What a pretty case.

I wonder what's inside?

By the way, how did you know that the God of Death was resurrected?

Huh?

The God of Death was resurrected?

Well, you were saying all that scary stuff back when you were showing us the painting...

T-The God of Death was actually resurrected?!

This is terrible! If I stick around, I'm definitely gonna get killed!

Heeeeeelp!

What's going on?

Oh? Another one.

It's exactly like the last one we got!

Ee-yup.

Yet another mystery...

Ri

Araessa! Please stay safe on your travels!

You too, Mrs. Tiger! Now be sure to go back home!

You bet!

And that's the end of that chapter.

However...

That God of Death is such a terrifying guy...

Why is he after me, anyway?

Which one of us is chasing the other?

I still can't get a grasp on any of this!

Araessa, Stonston! Save me!

The kangaroos of this village are all being manipulated by the God of Death!

Ah! What's with those looks?!

Don't tell me he got you too!

Geez! I can't believe this!
