Get out of the way!

Do you want to get run over or what?!

I haven't slept for ten days now while searching for a model of the indestructible heroine

who'll leave a record in the history of comics.

My willpower and physical strength are at their limit...

What's the meaning of this?

Has my ability dried up or something?

Somebody...

Please give me a hint!

Please give me a hint about the heroine!

That's it!

That's the figure that I pictured!

The birth of a heroine who'll put an end to this evil, new era of comic fanzines!

You want to see it, don't you?

You're curious, right?

The real me.

This is in the way, isn't it?

It's quite embarrassing now that I think about it.

But I won't quit in the middle of it today.

I've made up my mind about it.

Don't move!

Please don't move...

It hasn't changed at all!

Why?!

Could it be that...

Oh, it's Karina-san.

Huh?

A rooster-shaped devil's toy?

What's that?

Anyway... tell me... find it...

What?

Cooperate with... that's all...

I can't hear you too clearly.

Karina-san, where are you right now?

I can't tell you that because I'm on duty.

I'll contact you again later.

Karina-san--

Don't be caught off guard, Kawahira Keita.

I didn't understand any of it.

What's this about a rooster?

What are you doing?

You saw it, didn't you?!

Wh-What's the matter?

Is something wrong?

H-Hey! Calm down!

Did something unusual happen to your tail?

Shukuchi.

It's you again!

Please wait! Listen to my side of the story!

Well then.

I guess I need to begin with this.

Keita!

I came to play with you.

You sure have a lot of time on your hands.

There's nothing interesting here at school.

That's fine.

I came to see you.

Hey, better yet, take a look at this.

It looks different from usual, doesn't it?

What? What's so different about it?

It's different! Look carefully!

It's lighter by four grams compared to the other day!

What?! By four grams?!

Like I can tell that kind of difference!

No way! It's a lot thinner!

Can't you tell?!

Not at all.

Jeez, Keita!

Kawahira! Kawahira Keita, are you here?

Huh?

Kawahira Keita, I've been looking for you.

And you are?

Kawarazaki Naoki of Class 3-B!

Nobody other than me, a fighting otaku who's immune to pressure from those biased people!

Oh...

I know that you're an inukami tsukai with abundant spiritual power.

I want you to find someone for me.

Find someone?

I won't ask you to do this for free.

Please accept this.

These are legendary, limited-edition fanzines, so desired by enthusiasts that they sold in five minutes.

I'll even include a telephone card autographed by the original author.

I was finally able to get my hands on it after heading to the assembly hall on the first train.

And this here is...!

Well, it may be really amazing, but I'm not into these kinds of things.

Is that so?

I think you could make a decent amount off all of this on a net auction.

Oh, really?

Well, putting those aside for now, who am I supposed to be looking for?

Someone who looks just like her.

Keita, who's he?

Who knows.

Oh, my news column!

Jaen!

I see.

You just want to use Youko as a model for the lead character.

Why do you like her so much?

It's her tail.

Tail?

Just look at it! The brilliance that tail emits!

The beauty of its trim!

Its existence should be considered a world treasure!

What's he babbling about?

He's totally complimenting your tail.

Oh, really?

The only one who can understand this magnificence is a good looking guy like me with superior optics!

I was deeply moved by her tail.

On top of that, her tail's plump like a raccoon's!

Raccoon. Raccoon.

Huh? What did he say?

My creativity was stimulated by that thick tail of hers.

And by all means I want you to be the heroine of the Transforming Raccoon Girl that's being released!

Raccoon.

Raccoon... Raccoon... Raccoon...

Crap...!

Huh?

Like I care!

My feelings didn't reach her, huh...?

Well, that's how it is.

Wait up!

I want to ask you to do a job again.

The Kawarazaki's are a distinguished family that has flourished in this land for many generations.

So distinguished, you could say that the mountains you see there are owned by my family.

Kawarazaki-senpai was really sorry about what he said earlier.

I don't like him!

And he's a bit scary.

Come on, don't say that.

He wants to apologize to you in person.

He called me a raccoon.

I'll never forgive him!

Just watch this tail, I'm going to go on a diet.

So nobody will be able to call me a raccoon anymore!

Diet?

You'd rather go out with a girl with a slim tail too, wouldn't you?

I read that all men think like that.

See?

Youko.

This isn't necessary at all!

Keita?

An unreasonable diet is bad for your health.

You look good as you are.

Really?

Keita, you're so kind!

So, please go see Kawarazaki-senpai.

That will surely clear up the misunderstanding.

Keita, what are you trying to tell me?

Oh, it's just that he's rich, generous, and not a bad person at all.

If you give him a chance, you'll think differently of...

You're acting suspiciously.

You're hiding something from me!

I-I'm not hiding anything from you...

What are you hiding from me?

Don't hesitate to tell me.

Now, tell me!

To tell you the truth, I promised him I would get you to go on a date with him.

For how much?

How much did you sell me off for?

For a week's worth of pastry for lunch.

That's too cheap!

Owowowow!

Rope! Rope break!

My... My arm...!

Umm, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but...

What exactly are you doing, traveling cat?

Tomekichi, you're so cute.

Oh, so you have a habit of cosplaying like that when you go around searching for statues?

No, I don't!

I'm being pursued right now!

Here it comes!

It's fast!

Oh no! Please run away!

Keita-san! Youko-san!

Oh no! It was too late!

What...? What?!

Cool, it's all fluttery!

Hey! What's the meaning of this?!

This is all its fault.

Statues, doodle-doo! Doodle-doo!

Oh no, doodle-doo!

That's enough already!

What the hell's that?

I don't know.

I found it by accident inside an old shed while I was searching for statues.

And now it won't stop following me wherever I go!

Rooster-san, come here.

Look, it's obedient.

What's this?

I wonder if this is the rooster-shaped devil's toy that Karina-san mentioned...

I suppose I'll give him a call anyhow.

Hey, Karina-san.

I'm not here. Keep your demands short.

Damn.

Hey, this is Kawahira Keita.

There's a woodcraft rooster that's marked with skulls and a moon at my house.

I think it's the one you mentioned the other day, so come pick it up right away.

That's all.

Man, it's difficult to walk around with this!

Huh? How do you take this off?

You can't...

No way!

It's impossible!

This is a perfect cosplaying spell!

Then, are we stuck like this forever?!

There's no reason for a cat to feel embarrassed!

Sorry for exposing something so insignificant.

Oh, we can return back to normal.

Startling us for no reason.

The cosplay spell lasts about two hours.

But as long as the rooster is nearby...

It keeps on following me around everywhere, so there's no end to it!

I just hope Karina-san comes here soon.

Yeah.

What's the matter, Rooster-san?

Ah, my beautiful Youko-san.

I have come to pick you up.

Ah, how long have I been waiting for this day to come?

Let's share this excitement together!

This isn't good...!

Cat ears on a cat...

Tell me what I've done to deserve this...

Why am I the only one dressed like this?!

T-This is...

Ah, I see!

You must've read my heart!

Good job!

What kind of grudge do you have against me?!

I have no grudge against you.

It's Magical Girl Asoko-chan!

It's perfect!

Ah, how beautiful!

My comrade, Kokeko-tan!

You're the best!

Hey you!

To hell with that name "Kokeko-tan"!

Give me back the rooster!

I'll go this way.

You go that way.

We'll split up and chase him down.

Okay.

Welcome, Master!

It's only 500 yen per pile, Master!

Oh no...

This isn't good...

After two hours... this city will...

It will transform into a true hell!

It's a bit noisy there.

I wonder what it is...

Erm, that guy's...!

Stop acting so unpleasantly!

As I thought, it's Saffron Ruriko-kun.

I enjoy reading your works.

I want to talk with you about it, but I'm in a hurry.

So please excuse me.

Who's this Saffron?

I don't know!

Oh my...

New clothes!

Why did this only happen to me?!

Everyone!

Youko-san.

Those clothes are cute.

It's Asoko...

It's the royalty.

I don't like mini skirts!

At this rate, my nerves will be destroyed before the world perishes!

Where are you, Kawarazaki?!

It's you again, Kawahira Keita!

What is it? Do you have a problem with my outfit?

Of course I do!

Of what?!

Is there a law that prohibits a man from running around the city wearing cat ears and a school swimsuit?

N-No... It's just wrong...

This is my hobby!

Well, I'm in a hurry, so...

That's...

To return back to normal, we have to catch that guy and the rooster.

I can't just overlook this if it involves a devil's toy.

I will cooperate as well.

We're going to seal it! Seal it!

It's my honor, Master!

Wait up!

You're quite persistent, aren't you, Kawahira?

Cut this shit out!

Return the rooster now!

I'm just uniting my feelings with Kokeko-tan to make this world a more interesting place.

Kokeko-tan is happier this way as well.

Do you enjoy making people dress up like this?!

What on earth's going on here?

Keita, you don't have that much time left!

Kawarazaki, let's put an end to this playtime!

As a fighting otaku, there is no way I can lose this battle!

That was impressive, Kawahira Keita.

You're not bad either.

Better than I expected.

To continue to do battle is the fate of a fighting otaku.

Let's meet again!

Farewell!

Youko-san!

I wanted you to at least call me "brother" at the end!

Keita!

I'll be taking this as a fee for watching it.

Keita...

Yeah?

Behind you.

Huh?

Man, you're persistent!

I told you earlier that this is my hobby!

Nice hobby you have there, Kawahira Keita.

Well, let's get going.

Yes...

Please overlook it just this once.

A pervert!

A pervert...

A pervert?

I'm not a pervert!

Then what are you?

A friend of his?

Oh, it's Karina-san!

Thank you very much for your hard work!

Keita! The rooster has...!

What's the matter?

It has depleted its spiritual energy.

Karina-san...

What exactly is that?

The thing I was explaining over the phone.

This devil's toy was made by an ancient magician, Sekidousai.

Sekidousai?

A dreadful magician who could manipulate an enormous amount of magical power.

This thing reads the heart of a person with strong desires

and makes the appearance that person wished for come true.

Why did he make such a thing like that?

I do not know.

But Sekidousai made many other incomprehensible devil's toys.

And I am trying to find them all.

Could it be that we're next?

Let's return immediately.

Good bye, Pervert-san.

I'm... I'm...

Not a pervert!

Youko.

What is it?

You really did your best.

Your tail is really slim now.

What's with that comment? Sarcasm?

It's been on my mind that it got a little thicker!

Huh? Really...?

Keita, you blockhead!

Why?!

There are 108 desires according to Buddhist teachings.

Note: A "Juzu" is a buddhist rosary. The "Joya-no-kane" is the New Year's Eve Bell.

The number of beads on a Juzu, and the number of times the Joya-no-Kane is struck, come from this.

It is said that one's desire diminishes for every time the Joya-no-Kane is struck.

Note: A "Juzu" is a buddhist rosary. The "Joya-no-kane" is the New Year's Eve Bell.

Seeing how it has to be struck every year,

it seems that desires come back right away.

No matter how many times you strike it.

Next time on Inukami!

Lust And Sekuhata!

Kawahira!

Please hit the naughty me!

Now, hurry!
