I am Gokudo Yucott Kikansky.

I defeated the Magic King and became the King of the Eshallatto Empire...

...but it was boring as hell.

I wanted to be free and keep traveling like when I was an adventurer.

So, where should I go next?

Gokudo, wait up!

Geez!

That's Parmette, the country controlled by magic.

Why are you still following me?

I can do whatever I want.

Oh, I got it.

You have a crush on me.

In your dreams!

Oops.

Oh well, I'm sure he'll be okay.

O-Ouch!

Oh good, you've regained consciousness.

Who is it?

Who are you?

Are you a ghost?

No, you're the ghost.

What?

You fell off the cliff and died.

No way!

I-I'm dead?

There were so many things I wanted to do!

Get rich and have hot babes...

No, no, this can't be true!

What do you want?

I will bring you back to life.

R-Really?

Sure, I'm a wizard.

Are you a Parmettian?

I have no time to introduce myself.

I've been watching you travel from the Eshallatto Empire...

...with my Magic Mirror.

What for?

I am...

...in love with you.

Oh my.

Death is looking for your soul.

For real?

Take this Magic Mirror with you.

Use it to call for me when you come back to life.

Wait...

I don't even know your name!

I'll be waiting...

Help!

Gokudo, are you okay?

T-That woman!

What woman?

That woman with those nice boobs!

Look...

You pervert!

Thinking about boobs, that's why you fell off the cliff!

Hey, weren't you the one who pushed me off?

Oh, was I?

Good, you've regained consciousness.

Who are you?

He's Issa the wizard.

He's the one who saved your life.

Well, that would be a bit of an exaggeration.

I brought you some herbal soup.

Have some.

O-Ouch...

Huh?

Right here.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Stop apologizing and clean this up!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy.

If you're a wizard, use your magic to clean up!

Actually, I'm still a student and I'm not very good at using magic yet.

A student?

Yes, I am a freshman at the University of Sorcery.

Oh, you're still a college student.

Stop wiping the floor and wipe me off first, you oaf!

Oh, I'm sorry.

Not with that dirty rag!

Stop it, Gokudo!

Please let me buy you dinner.

Don't worry about it Issa, his face is like a dirty rag anyway.

But it's really my fault...

I'm hungry!

Is there some kind of festival?

Yes, this village is the starting point for the King's race tomorrow.

What's the King race?

I'm starving...

The three princesses are of marrying age so...

I'm starving!

I don't get it.

What do the princesses have to do with race?

The Parmette Empire has been a matriarch since it was founded by women.

And when the princesses come of age...

...they nominate candidates to be grooms and make them enter this race.

A race?

Well, let me explain.

The race starts here in this border village.

Everybody is ready, set, go!

Well, not really...

The contestants start whenever they want.

That's a vague rule.

People have different rhythms...

...and we believe in going with the flow in my country.

So, after leaving the village, they go off to the desert to reach the Royal Tomb.

That sounds easy.

You're mistaken.

There are horrible monsters that live in the desert.

Also...

...there is a fierce monster that guards the Royal Tomb.

Aren't you guys scared?

I get excited just thinking about it.

Anyway, once you enter the tomb...

...you have to take the Holy Relic hidden there.

Then you bring the relic to the Parmette Palace.

And that's the gist of it.

Thank you for the explanation.

Can anyone participate in the race?

No, only the candidates chosen by the princesses can enter.

That stinks.

Princess Elma's candidate is a mystery.

We know neither his name nor face except that he rides a unicorn.

Princess Keruna's candidate is the Super Wizard Ya Sager.

Princess Coco is the only one hasn't nominated anyone yet.

Not yet?

But the race is tomorrow.

Hey!

I said I'm starving to death!

Oh yeah, the dinner.

That place looks good.

Well that place is kind of...

Come in!

Oh, it's you.

That means your guests must be losers too.

These two are from Eshallatto.

They are really nice people.

Eshallatto!

They can't even use magic.

It's the three stooges! They can't even use magic.

It's the three stooges!

Losers!

There's nothing here for you, losers.

Get out of here.

Wait a minute.

Who do you think you're talking to?

Don't get too carried away, you'll regret it.

You're the one who's going to regret it.

That's right.

Listen up, scumbags!

Oh?

I'm the heir apparent to the King of the Eshallatto Empire...

...and the hero who defeated the Magic King!

Gokudo Yucott Kikansky!

The Magic King?

The heir to the throne...

How does someone who doesn't even know magic defeat the Magic King?

Shut up!

Gokudo, call for Djinn and show them!

Yeah!

You don't have to tell me that!

Djinn, come out!

W-W-What?

Djinn, tell them how great I am!

Huh?

Don't just stand there like an idiot!

Thanks for calling.

I am away from the Magic World at the moment.

I, Djinn's answering machine, is answering this call.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Well...

What a joke!

Beep!

Hey Djinn!

Stop kidding around!

Did you buy that bogus rock from the store next door?

Shut up!

You have exceeded your time limit.

Please call again.

Wait a second!

Djinn, come back!

Are you done with show and tell?

You want to have fun?

No, please stop.

Gokudo!

Leave me alone!

This is...

This is the mark of the Parmette Royal Family.

What?

What is going on?

Is the mirror anything special?

Of course.

It has the Royal seal...

Gokudo, where did you get this?

That wasn't a dream?

Hey scumbags, bow to this!

Can't you see my Magic Mirror?

Hello, darling!

Y-You...

You are...

The third princess, Princess Coco!

You may arise.

Oh, why didn't you call me sooner?

You're such a cold-hearted lover.

L-Lover?

Gokudo!

When did you find time to have an affair with a Parmettian princess?

I don't know either.

Not to be rude but are you a really a princess?

Of course.

This red star on my forehead is my proof.

It was given to me by the Goddess.

This red star symbolizes the eternal power and magic of this country.

And...

...if you win the race you will have the red star on your forehead too.

And possess all the magic powers of your dreams.

Darling!

Magic powers?

Are you serious?

The Goddess gives ultimate magic powers to the one who wins this race.

And I chose you, darling.

You're the heir of the Eshallatto Empire.

You would look so great in your Parmettian robes!

You're just perfect to receive the Goddess' blessing!

Well, you're right, I am a King.

He's not going to do whatever you tell him to do!

Hey, Gokudo...

Take this...

...and that!

Hi.

Gokudo, don't space out and tell her straight up!

Oh, of course!

I'll enter the race!

Hey, Gokudo!

That's my darling.

Are you really going to marry her?

You're just like your father, trying to take over the nation with magic!

My, my, it's not very attractive to act jealous.

Who's jealous?

Do whatever you want!

O-Ouch...

Darling, you have to prepare for the race!

Sir Gokudo, please leave all of the preparations to us.

Whenever you need me, just look into the mirror and call out, Honey!

Honey!

Good Luck, Sir Gokudo!

Be careful, Sir Gokudo!

Good luck!

Hey.

Yes?

You're not coming along, are you?

Of course I'm coming along.

No way!

You're just going to slow me down, buzz off!

B-But Gokudo...

...I know a lot about monsters and I can help you navigate the roads.

Hey!

Yes?

It's kind of strange that a wimpy guy like you wants to follow me around.

Y-You're choking me...

Well, actually I haven't turned in my term paper about monsters yet...

...and I could be expelled.

But I'm too scared to venture the desert alone...

Please, take me with you!

No way, I'm not your bodyguard!

Please...

Well, I could take you if you give me...

...100 gold coins!

And no less.

But that's my life savings!

Take it or leave it.

I don't care whether you come or not.

Okay.

A bird?

Oh, that's Ya Sager's...

Is that a name of the bird?

No, Ya Sager...

...is princess Keruna's candidate.

And your rival.

What's that?

I found you!

What's your problem, dude?

Let me refresh your memory!

Y-You're...

It's me.

Best in taste and price on Earth...

King of dumplings, king of dumplings.

The delicious taste and quality sauces...

Sing it!

King of dumplings, king of dumplings.

Plenty of garlic, the greatest king of dumplings...

Do you eat your dumplings today?

Yeah!

You dined at my place and didn't pay, I'll get the 8 gold coins you owe me!

I'm not paying anything!

Just as I thought...

Let's see about that!

Garlic breath!

Damn you!

How do you like this?

It stinks!

So, you're the one they call Gokudo...

What do you want?

M-Master!

I am Ya Sager, the royal wizard of the Parmettian Palace.

I heard that Princess Coco had chosen her candidate...

...so I came to salute you.

But I didn't know he'd be a kid.

Shut up!

Stop calling me a kid, you mustache geezer!

Mustache geezer...

You can't even use magic, you're no match for me.

It would be best for you to quit the race, if you want to stay alive.

Shut up!

I'll show you...

Master, I'll hold him down!

Little one...

I'll cast the Minotaur Spell on you.

Why don't you teach him a lesson or two?

How exciting!

Minotaur?

I can't believe I get to see the Minotaur spell!

Hey Issa, fight him with your magic or something!

W-Well, I can't do that so quickly...

Um...

Fire Magic!

There.

Issa, hurry!

It's no use.

He can't move a muscle.

Here I go.

What's going on?

There is something fishy about tis King's race.

I'm going to win this race anyway!

Next on Gokudo, The Riddle of Sphinx.

I'll rule by the end of the century!
