Taro may be able to hold his own against an army of countless robbers, thugs, thieves and macho men, but he’s powerless against an old lady pulling his arm.
…It appears we're at the old lady's place…?
:
You’re a man-eating monster! I’ll deal with you!!
:
Hey, where is this?
:
At my store.
:
It's a strange store. It's perfect for this old hag...
The hag has a store? I can't help but think this looks familiar…
...Where have we seen this before?
Oh right, I remember!
This hag looks very much like the witch that ran the store in Alaska in Zero4Champ 2!
... I’m guessing she must move her shop over to Toyko during those harsh Alaskan winters….
:
Would you like to buy something?
:
Is this how you get all your customers?
:
Ah, you old hag! You old hag! Was that the goal from the beginning?
:
Recently, the number of customers has decreased. I can't survive without soliciting customers.
:
I bring in customers with my sex appeal.
Her sex appeal or her surprisingly strong ability to pull grown men by their ear to her shop?
:
It's not sex appeal, it's a monster.
:
Unless you're a tout.
:
Who would fall for your flirting? I have high ideals.
:
Gah
:
Even an old hag dumped me…
:
Even an old hag like this...
:
GakshiI... I can't do it anymore…
:
I'm sure I'll never get a girlfriend...
Well. Not with all that whining and name calling, Taro.
:
Hey, do you want to buy something?
I agree with the hag here Taro. Let's just move on, shall we?
Maybe she has some cool items that can help us defeat Bishamon...
:
To such an old hag
...
:
Huh? stomach!
:
‘Old hag, old hag’.That's just my personality.
:
It's so noisy!
:
‘I can't get a girlfriend! Waah’
You know, that was a pretty good impression of Taro.
:
Shut up!!
:
Do you think an old hag like that can understand my feelings?
:
That's enough, I don't need any more women.
:
It's money!
:
I'll live for money!!
Kekekekeke I'll become the richest man in the world and get back at all the women out there!
I've thought this several times now in this game, but I think this is the first time I've said it... If Taro was around today, he'd definitely be considered an Incel.
I'm sure he'd be listening to Andrew Tate podcasts and blaming all his issues on the opposite sex.
:
You're a noisy man, hurry up and buy something and go home.
:
Okay, old hag, I'll buy it for you. I'm desperate, so I'll get a lot of part-time jobs and become rich!
:
What does this store sell?
:
We have everything.
:
So what are some powerful weapons that can be used when on security duty?
Okay. Now we're back on track!
:
I don't have it right now, but of course I can get it for you...
:
If you could retrieve it, how many days will it take?
:
Well, it depends on the item. Usually it takes about a month...
A month!? But we want to defeat Bishamon now!
:
Huh?! Does it cost that much? Can't it be faster?
:
If there is something real and you want to make a fake of it, you can do it quickly…
:
It’s real….
:
Oh, that's right!
:
I have my dad's collection!
...Of erotic Samurai love novels?
:
I have a lot of Japanese swords.
Oh right! Yes, it said in the intro that Taro's dad collects swords!
... wait... Why haven't we been using one of those all this time?
:
I think he had a famous sword called "Moonlight"
:
They say it's more important than life.
:
If I only borrow it a little, no one will find out.
... borrowing dad's sword that's "more important than life" - I can see this ending well for Taro.
:
What, Moonlight? It is the most famous sword among famous swords.It is said to be a sword that rivals even Masamune's!
:
Wow. Is it that amazing?
:
It's more than amazing. Please bring it with you. I've always wanted to meet it.
Taro's dad just casually owns the most famous sword in Japan?
... Sure, why not.
:
If you bring it to me, I'll make you a free replica of the moonlight.
: Oh, is it free?
Wait. Uh, hold on a second Taro. This is supposedly the most famous sword in Japan and this random old lady, (who just kidnapped you, I might add), just said she'd make you a replica of it for free if you gave her the original.
Don't you think you should approach this, you know... a little more carefully?
:
I'll bring it right away!
:
Wait a moment...
