Tactics Extra #1 1 Sugino: Huh? Oni-kui? You're still using that filthy old tea bowl? Sheesh... Haruka: Shut up... WHat are you doing here anyway, Sugino? Go back to your mountain. Kantarou: Huh? Sugino-sama, you don't have a tengu's tea bowl? Sugino: Me?! No way! Sugino: The New Tengu Generation wouldn't be caught dead following such old-fashioned customs! 2 Sugino: I stopped that stuff when I met Muu-chan! Sugino: Right, Muu-chan? Haruka: Fucking idiot... Kantarou: Ooh, I was wondering! Kantarou: How did you and Muu-chan meet? Sugino: You really want to know? Fufu... Haruka: Don't get him started, Kantarou... Kantarou: But Haruka, don't you want to know? Sugino: This was long ago, after Oni-kui was sealed but before I became the god of Sugino village... Sugino: I was all alone... I went from mountain to mountain, causing trouble. Sugino: Before long, I was known as the Wild Tengu. Haruka: So you were a Yankee? (Japanese slang for a delinquent) 3 Sugino: In those days, my hobby was stealing kids and burying them in the fields like radishes... Sugino: Or I'd steal all the money from a shrine and leave snakes in the collection box instead... Sugino: Or I'd scare the shit out of people who got lost in the mountains... Sugino: Those were the days... Kantarou: These things make him sound kind of petty and childish... Haruka: He hasn't changed. He's still a bastard. Sugino: And then one day, as I was stealing the offerings from a statue of Jizou-sama... (Statues of the god Jizou are often seen along the road because he is believed to protect travellers) Sugino: Wah!! I've been poisoned by this sticky bun! This is a trap set by those villagers!! Kantarou: But Sugino-sama, how did you know it was a trap? Kantarou: Maybe it was just rotten... Sugino: I knew the moment I tasted that awful thing... it was the greatest poison against a tengu... a bun stuffed with MACKEREL!! Haruka: KYAAAAA!! 4 Sugino: Uwahh... Haruka: Ohhh... Kantarou: But why would a tengu hate fish so much...? Now that's a mystery... Kanatarou: And? Is that it? Sugino: I was a bad Tengu... Sugino: Humans hated me, and I wanted nothing to do with them, so I fled to my mountain. Sugino: And then I painfully alone for what seemed like forever... Sugino: I couldn't die, and yet I hated myself so much that I wanted to, but Sugino: I knew that to fall from the path of a Tengu would be to surender my body to the fires of hell, so I couldn't even think of that... but... Sugino: I was just so lonely... 5 Sugino: Many days passed like this, and many painful nights. And then came a youkai I had never seen before... Sugino: And this strange youkai came closer and closer... Sugino: I didn't know what do to... the youkai came closer, until it flopped itself down right beside me. Muu-chan Muuu... Sugino: But then, just to cheer me up, she called out to me... "Muuu" Sugino: I don't know how, but that heavenly voice cured me... I fell asleep with her in my arms. Sugino: And the next morning, I awoke to find that my pain and loneliness has suddenly disappeared... and that's how I met my Muu-chan. 6 Kantarou: Wow, Muu-chan, I've never seen a youkai like you before either, but you must have some amazing powers hidden in you! Sugino: AHH! MUU-CHAN!! Sugino: Come back here, Muu-chan. Sugino: If you associate with that human, you'll catch his stupidity! Kantarou: Ooh, Sugino-sama, how unsightly... Kantarou: A jealous, possessive husband~ Haruka: Just stop, Sugino. This is childish. Sugino: LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE, ICHINOMIYA KANTAROU!! THIS IS WAR!! Kantarou: Sure, fine by me. Kantarou: Just let me change my clothes~ Haruka: Hey, what are you doing?! 7 no text Youko: Whoa, a Sugino-sama / Kan-chan deathmatch? This is gonna be good... Youko: Hehehehe... Haruka: ......... Muu-chan: Muuuu... Haruka: You're as bad as he is... Sugino: We'll see which of us is more of a man! Sugino: This is a battle of spiritual force! On my pride as a tengu, you will fall to the power of my magic!! Kantarou: No fighting dirty! Kantarou: I'm a little tired, so just a quick match~ 8 Kantarou: Now!! 9 Sugino: Paper charms? Sugino: I can avoid those, after all I am a... Sugino: ...god... 10 Kantarou: Fufufu... Kantarou: When you know the ways of the earth, there are no laws in magic... Kantarou: This isn't your little mountain, Sugino-sama... Kantarou: I'm a youkai exterminator - I won't go easy on you!! 11 Youko: Kan-chan is usuing the nine seals against youkai... Youko: He's going to exorcise Sugino-sama?! Haruka: !? Muu-chan: AHHH!! 12 Sugino: Muu-chan... you were on my side after all... Sugino: Of course you were... we're married, after all... Muu-chan: *chewing noises* Sugino: Muu-chan!! I'm so sorry I ever doubted your love!! Muu-cha: Mu! 13 Kantarou: Wow! A youkai that can just gulp down my nine seals! Kantarou: I've never seen this before! Lucky!! Sugino: Banzai Muu-chan! Youko: Now that's the strength of a married couple's love!
