(The Young Traveler)

No matter who it is

will look forward to the unknown world

Even if it's alone, just begin your journey.

Sometimes will feel sad in life.

Sometimes fall into a dense fog during youth time.

Even tough might cry at times.

That's right. Have a gaze at the star in your heart.

As a traveler, you could only move forward with courage.

Yes, it's finally done.

Grandpa...

Hey, good morning.

Grandpa, did you stay up all night again?

Oh... Sanpei. So early...

It's not early now.

The sun is already highly hanging in the sky.

Look, these are for today's dinner.

Oh...

What's that?

This was just done by grandpa.

This is grandpa's. It's a favor from a friend.

He's a charcoal maker called Genchi who lives in Yonagi.

Yonagi?

Right. At that mountain valley, apes would cry during the nights.

You'll hear just as if the mountain is crying.

Whoa! I really want to go there and have a look!

Sanpei! After breakfast, you'll have to go prepare yourself.

Huh?

You'll have to send this rod to Ginchi.

Do you really mean it, grandpa?

Yes.

Chapter 1 - Monster of Yonagi (1) 'The shadow of Narukami'

(Yonagi, frontward 6 km)

I see... There's another 6 km more from here.

We still have 2 hours extra. That's too easy.

Along that 6 km journey, the road condition will be the same.

Wow, that's a drawbridge.

Ah...

I'm getting a headache.

Whoa...

That's too dangerous!

That's such a steep cliff!

Oh! So, that is Yonagi!

That's amazing!

Looks like that's the nest of the rock fish.

As long as I reach a place like this, my hands start to itch.

Yahoo!

Huh?

Isn't that a Raccoon dog?

It looks so carefree.

Surprisingly to see it drink this way.

The Iwanagi is attacking the Raccoon dog...

How would that be possible?

This is weird...

Brat!

What are you doing here?!

Umm... I saw the Iwanagi attacked the Raccoon dog just now.

There's nothing to be surprise for such thing in Yonagi.

This is not a place for a brat like you suppose to be!

Get lost!

Ah, wait a minute! Are you Ginchi?

Huh? How do you know my name?

So, it is you.

What is the matter, brat?!

Please don't call me a 'brat'!

I have a name and my name is Sanpei.

Huh? Sanpei? Then, must be the grandson of Yippei-Ojisan?

You're right! My grandpa asked me to send this fishing rod to this place.

Ha... Then, hand it over to me quickly!

Wow... This is interesting. And there's a small box too.

Good... Yippei-Ojisan's workmanship is still so excellent!

It feels just like the noise being swallowed in one breath.

Hey, brat!

Because of you, your Yippei Grandpa had asked a favor from me too.

A favor from you? What does that mean?

To teach you the method of fishing the Iwanagi?!

Really?

You brat.

You eyes shine brightly when you hear the word 'fishing'.

You'd really deserved to be Yippei-Ojisan's grandson!

I will take good care of you. Ha... Ha...

Oh, this guy is getting more fun!

Hey, wait for me, Ojisan!

Wait for me...

Ojisan, wait for me!

This guy is just like a monkey!

So, this is a charcoal kiln?

Huh?

What the hell is this?! Whoa... Help me!

Whoa... Help me!

Whoa! Help me...

Hey! Sanpeiru, stop that!

That brat is a guest.

Brat, are you all right?

It's that monkey! Damn it...

Don't rush... Wait a minute...

It's name is Sanpeiru. It has been living with me all the time.

Huh?! Sanpei?!

You mean its name is same as mine?!

How can you name it just like mine?!

Would it be better if I call you 'brat'?

So, I'm the brat and you call it Sanpei?

Damn it...

That's too much!

You look great! We can go fishing now.

Huh?

What's wrong with you, brat?

Ah... Is this the fishing area for the Iwanagi?

All right! Let me fish here then!

To avoid from being seen by the fish, he purposely hide above the shadow of the mountain cave.

So, he's not a newbie at all.

Got it!

Oh...

Get up at one fling!

I've made it, Ojisan!

This is a big one! It's about 30 centimeters long.

You're really modulated well by Yippei-ojisan!

Marvelous... Marvelous...

But this kind of fish is only considered as trivial stuff in Yonagi.

Is there bigger than this?!

Ah... Much bigger than this!

I bet you'll pee on your pants when you get to see them.

Ha...

Is that true?

It's the monster of Yonagi.

Do you want to have a look at it, brat?

Yes, I do. Where is that monster you'd mentioned?

What's going on?

Damn it! Not again?!

Ojisan, is there something wrong?

What's going on? I want to go and have a look too.

Ojisan, can they actually build a dam in Yonagi?

Of course not.

How could I allow them to build that thing here?

I must stop them!

Huh?! Come over here!

Ah, it's the surveyor team.

Hey, Ginchi!

You better come down obediently.

Don't you come here for fishing only?

Who said that I'm here only for fishing?!

You bastard!

I'm opposing this on be half of the fish!

All the while they have been living in this mountain valley.

Do you think you can deprive the rights of living of these fish?!

The rights of living?

Even an idiot knows that no matter what, one has to eat.

Building the dam is few millions times more important than this.

I will not forgive you.

Whoa! A python!

Help...

How was it? See whether you still dare to build the dam?

Brat, even though they'd came for flower arrangement,

but it's better for us to go to a place I enshrined.

Is it the nest of the monster?

Yes, of course.

This place is called Narukami. This is the biggest profound in Yonagi.

Does that great huge monster live here?

Ah, Sanpeiru!

Sanpeiru!

That's...

It's appearing.

Sanpeiru!

Sanpeiru...

Sanpeiru!

Let go off me...

Hey, I can't breathe...

Let go off me!

What a rude monster you are!

Ouch! Quickly let go off me...

Ha... ha... What's all this? You coward!

You're afraid until you pee in your pants?!

Brat,

did you see the super giant monster of Yonagi just now?

Yes, I've seen it. It's really huge and giant in size!

And his left eye was like this!

Oh! As long as it's about fish, you're surely expert in it!

At the moment it leaps, instantly you can see its eye clearly.

You're amazing!

Ojisan...

I thought of this at the moment I saw its eye...

That must be the 'Saje Iwa'!

'Saje Iwa'?

That's the one...

The Samurai warrior from the old days

A warrior with a magnificent one-eyed swordsmanship.

Ah, that's right! You're talking about that guy.

If I was not mistaken, his name was Tanggen Saje, right?

Yeah, that's the Saje I was talking about.

Brat, you're such an interesting one!

Then, I shall use that name!

Next time I'll call it as Saje Iwa'.

But, Ojisan...

Yes?

How did that 'Saje Iwa' became one-eyed?

Guess it's because of the Raccoon dog.

Huh?

It was blinded by the Raccoon dog.

The Raccoon dog?

Yonagi is just like you see. A very beautiful mountain area.

During spring time, the sprout of the trees, the wild grapes,

were grown into fruits. This is actually a paradise for the animals.

What about this mountain valley?

A place where the animals came for water.

Just when the Raccoon dog came for its drinking...

I was fishing somewhere near this area.

I got a shock of the water splashing and turned around...

The incident happened too quickly...

It was already one-eyed at that time?

Yes... I'm afraid that when it was young...

it was hurt by the Raccoon dog...

But for a Iwanagi, can it really grow into this big?

The original Iwanagi were from the depths of this mountain valley...

They flow from the high indicated altitude.

They feed on insects, smaller fish, prawns and others.

They swallow all living things.

Some even never been seen by humans before.

Until they've grown like a monster.

Some can even swallow a Raccoon dog. That's not impossible.

Ojisan, please. Let me fish it up!

What did you say?!

Please... Ojisan... Let me fish!

Stop dreaming! The day is still early!

Hey, brat!

It's almost done!

The fish is soon be burnt.

His heart was attracted by that Saje Iwa.

No wonder...

When the time I saw it...

I understand your feeling. But...

To let Yippei-Ojisan's grandson die of hunger...

Oh, no. Can't work it out this way! He's lost his mind.

Besides that fish, he can see nothing more in his eyes.

It's time to eat.

Whoa... Isn't that great?

Brat, brace up a little, brat...

Brat!

Wake up, boy!

Wake yourself up clearly, brat!

I'll promise to let you fish that Saje Iwa!

Ah, is that true, Ojisan?

You've just said it!

You've just promised to let me fish it!

This is a promise between us men.

Hurray!

Ojisan, I really love you!!

Only by saying allow you to fish it,

your appetite grow!

He's finally awake! Ha... ha...

How is it? Taste good?

Ummm... Good. This is great.

This soup here is marvelous!

Good to hear that. Have some more.

But, Ojisan...

That Narukami is not a good standpoint.

Yet it's too far away from the fishing spot of the Saje Iwa.

You're right. From the location of the huge rock to the fishing spot is about 20 meters.

20 meters? It's too far to use a fishing rod.

Without a fishing rod, that's not considered as a fishing specialist.

The soul of a fisherman is depend on the fishing rod, fishing line and the fishing hook.

Fishing is a competition among the fish and human on their endurance and wisdom.

Brat, never be over impatient.

Guess you better sleep early tonight.

The sun will still rise tomorrow.

All right!

Okay! I'll wait till tomorrow then!
