Shit, this... this is insane! How the hell do we... fix this tiny-ass city?
let’s ask our friend Dokawaki
Fuck no, I ain't gonna bother that motherfucker for this shit. We gotta figure this out on our own, just like we always do.
I have an idea he has a manga shop down the street
Oh, so now you're gonna suggest something sensible for once? Fine, let's go to this damn manga shop. But if this doesn't work out, I'm blaming your sorry ass, bro.
he’s huge there because he’s a giant himself shrinks ok here we are
looks around in awe Holy shit, this place is packed with manga! I can already see some of my favorites on these shelves.
yea and everyone is a giant here so you’re normal size
snorts Well, as long as I'm not the fucking tiny one for once, I guess it doesn't matter. Let's find that Dokawaki guy and get some answers.
oh he has a giant form of himself out here
approaches the gigantic Dokawaki statue, running her hand along its imposing figure Damn, this guy must've put in some serious effort to build all this shit. He really has a flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? Dokawaki: grinning widely, eyes shining with excitement Welcome to my humble abode, stranger! And what brings you to my little corner of the world?
so we did good and brought your giant forms up
nods approvingly Well, thank fuck for that. It's about time we saw some results from all this bullshit. Now tell us, Dokawaki, how do we fix this tiny-ass city? We ain't got all day! Dokawaki: laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head Uh, yeah, about that... it's not gonna be easy, but I've got a plan.
Alright, spit it out, then! What's this brilliant plan of yours, Dokawaki? Don't keep us waiting, or I swear to god I'll kick your sorry ass out of this dimension. Dokawaki: takes a deep breath, trying to contain his excitement Okay, okay, listen up. First, we need to gather some materials from around the city.
<As Evelyn, Stranger, and Dokawaki begin gathering materials, they attract the attention of a group of hostile giant creatures who see them as a threat to their territory. A fierce battle ensues, leaving the trio outnumbered and overwhelmed.>
I’m small again now let’s go
rolls her eyes Of course you had to turn yourself into a fucking inconvenience right now. Look, we don't have time for your damn miniaturization. We're in the middle of a goddamn fight, and you're just making it harder for us! Can you please, for once, just stay at a reasonable size and let us handle this?
it’s safer this way just cover me while I run off to get help
grabs her weapon and steps forward, glaring at the incoming monsters You better fucking run, you miserable excuse for a creature! Don't think for a second that you can intimidate us with your pathetic forms! Take this, you ugly son of a bitch! slashes at the nearest monster with her weapon, aiming for its vulnerable spots Monster 1: howls in pain, stumbling back from Evelyn's attack Grrr, you will pay for that! lunges towards her, claws extended
turns into normal size Phew that was a close one Dokawaki thank goodness you’re normal sized
swiftly dodges Monster 1's attack and counterattacks with a swift kick to its stomach Get out of here, Stranger! I can handle these assholes! dodges another attack from behind, swiftly disarms Monster 2 with a single, well-aimed strike Monster 2: cries out in frustration as it's disarmed, stumbling forward You will regret this, bitch! tries to swing its massive claws at Evelyn
towers over monster 2 looking straight down at it I was never more sure of anything in my life…Dokawaki you’re normal sized. now talk to this big guy
throws a quick glance at Stranger Ugh, fine. approaches Monster 2, towering over it menacingly Listen up, you mindless piece of shit.
Hold on! Do you know how to command these things?
narrows her eyes I may not know how to command them, but I damn well know how to put them down! lashes out with a series of lightning-fast strikes, incapacitating Monster 2 one by one Monster 2: yells in pain as Evelyn strikes it down Fuck... you're... strong...
Tell me big fella. Dokawaki talks monster just fine but I’m still a little confused.
smirks Well, aren't you a fucking sight for sore eyes? turns to face Stranger, her tone dripping with sarcasm Let me break it down for you, genius. These creatures, they may be big and scary, but they're not invincible. They have weaknesses, just like anyone else. And lucky for us, I happen to know where to strike to bring them down. So, there you have it, Mr. Smarty-pants. I'm the monster whisperer, and they're just little puppies compared to me. Monster 2: struggles to speak, in pain You... may have won this time... b-but... we will return... stronger...
Weaknesses? What kind of weaknesses do these guys have?
crosses her arms, smirking Oh, you want a crash course in monster anatomy, do ya? Well, lucky for you, I happened to study these creatures extensively. See, each of them has a specific vulnerability that we can exploit. For example, this big guy here has a weak spot right behind its ear. One good hit, and it's down for the count. And those claws? Oh, they're just begging to be grabbed and twisted. Makes 'em scream in agony, I kid you not. So, what's it gonna be, Stranger? Are you gonna stand there all day playing "I'm a clueless idiot," or are you gonna join in on the fun and help us finish these bastards off?
rolls her eyes Figures. points at Monster 2 Look, big guy, you've got two options here. Option one, you keep on coming and end up on the receiving end of a beatdown of a lifetime. Option two, you take a step back, acknowledge that we're the boss here, and slink away with your tail between your legs. The choice is yours. Monster 2: growls menacingly, but eventually lowers its claws Fine, you win this time... for now.
hey Evelyn I would love to stick around looks down awkwardly but people are counting on us at the other end of town.
snorts Finally showing some sense, huh? Well, it's about time. turns on her heel and starts walking briskly Come on, Stranger.
well I may have some of these materials for you
grumbles About damn time you realized the importance of keeping up. Don't get too cocky, though.
ooo hi Dokawaki if we don’t get to talk to you for a bit keep everything shut tight. I’ll explain later.
<As Evelyn, Stranger, and Dokawaki make their way through the city, they come across a group of terrified civilians hiding behind debris. Among them is a young girl clutching onto her injured mother, crying softly. Evelyn's heart melts at the sight, and she decides to take them under her wing, promising to protect them and find them safety.>
looks like you found your mission
narrows her eyes at Stranger Don't act like you're so surprised. Did you think I would just ignore innocent lives hanging in the balance?
