CHEST-HAIR CONTINENT
How much longer must I continue living like this?
Even if I continue to live a lie with fake hair...
In reality I am...
...perhaps I'm no longer any good.
The elder is dead asleep and won't wake up?
It's been three days now.
I wonder what's up with the old man...
I-It's not like he hit his head against something, right?
Yeah, I had the school doc look him over.
I don't see anything physically wrong with him...
It looks like he's just asleep.
If it continues for a long time, we'll be better off conducting a serious physical exam.
Just asleep, huh...
He mutters things in his sleep, too.
What should I do?
What in the world happened to the elder?
It can't be a new type of disease or anything...
So, how is he when he's asleep?
Actually, he smiles like he's having a really good time.
I wonder if he's having a really fun dream or something.
Or so you think. Then he starts to groan all of a sudden, and mutters...
"Guu-sama, Guu-sama."
Gu...!
Hey, what's this about!? What did you do!?
Guu hasn't done anything!
What's up with that!?
It makes you look even more suspicious!
Well, it's not a bad feeling to have someone care for me enough to call for me in their sleep...
He's having a nightmare!
Don't give me this aggressive positive thinking bit!
That's right! I get it now!
Gramps...
...the old man is in love with Guu.
But, he was worried about the age difference...
...and suddenly realized something.
That in his dreams, without being scrutinized by anyone...
...and without being scorned by societal or moral rules, he can see Guu at any time!
Toposte, what are you talking about!?
I beg you, Guu!
Talk to Gramps at his bedside! He might wake up!
Toposte really does act weird when it comes to the elder's condition.
Well, I really don't have a reason not to go.
Thanks, Guu!
What's with that arrogant attitude?
Wow! To think that the elder who was so full of energy is lying in bed, not waking up at all..
I can't really imagine it.
A while ago, even when Guu ripped out his chest hair and he was depressed...
...it was nothing more than him looking pale.
The elder is basically a very tough guy...
I mean, he's all muscle and stuff.
Gramps?
Yeah, sure enough, he's asleep.
Excuse us--
What the hell!?
He's obviously in critical condition!
Toposte, why are you letting him lie here like a normal person!?
Hurry and take him to the hospital!
But, he's sleeping here so happily...
The ship is leaving!
Hard starboard!
Guu-sama... Guu-sama... Guu-sama...!!
-Toposte... -Guu-sama... Guu-sama... Guu-sama...!!
-Can you help me to get the meal ready? -Guu-sama... Guu-sama!!
-Okay! -Guu-sama... Guu-sama!!
I'm gonna go help Mom out a bit.
Oh, sure.
I'll leave it to you, Guu.
Okay, okay...
"Okay, okay?" What are you going to do with this?
Can you wake up the elder? You don't even know what the cause is.
It's something that was asked of me. I have to do something about it.
Even Guu feels responsibility at times, huh?
That's kinda unexpected.
All right, I should help out somehow as well!
Elder! Elder! Wake up, Elder!
Elder!
Useless, huh...
What should I do?
I wonder what kind of dream he's having right now...
Oh, you think the dream is hiding the cause of this?
Well, um...
I see. That might be dead-on.
Good work, Hare.
Guu, complimenting me, especially with no sarcasm?
But, there really isn't a way for us to check on the content of his dream...
Now, let's hurry and see inside his dream...
...with this stick.
Noooooooo!
Hare! Hare!
Hare! Wake up!
Hare! Hurry up!
Oh, it was just a dream?
I totally thought that I was blown inside the elder's dream with that wand...
Hare, are you up?
Morning, Mo--
Geez, how long are you going to stay asleep?
Hurry up and eat your breakfast!
Otherwise, I can't clean up!
Geez, you're so slow...
What is this? Am I still dreaming?
You could say that, but you could say otherwise.
This is inside the elder's dream.
This is the ideal world as seen by the elder. Get it?
Most likely, every person living in this world has chest hair.
What kind of ideal is that?
And see, even you, Hare, have a small jungle on your chest now that you' re part of this world...
It's all fluffy!
-Here, here, here, here, here! -Stop, stop, stop, stop!!
We have no time!
We must find the elder in this world as soon as possible, and do something about the situation!
Oh yeah! Big come on! Don't you know!
-Somehow, I feel like I should just leave him be and go home... -Oh yeah! Big come on! Don't you know!
-Somehow, I feel like I should just leave him be and go home... -Rock'n' roll! Soul, man! Wow!
-Let's hurry on over to the elder's place and do something about this. -Rock'n' roll! Soul, man! Wow!
-Let's hurry on over to the elder's place and do something about this. -I shall return!
...or so I thought...
Oh, good morning, Hare.
Hey, it's Hare! Good morning!
Yo!
Good morning!
Addy!
Chet!
Oh, Addy, I love you!
I love you too!
There are too many things in this world I'd rather not see.
I understand that these images are only for this world within the elder's mind...
...but it's too shocking...
What should I do?
When I see Marie like this, she'll haunt me in my dreams.
Well, this is a dream in itself...
Hare! Hare!
What are you doing, Hare?
As I thought...
It's the elder!
The elder is here!
So charming!
Elder!
I love you! Marry me!
Elder?
That's how the elder wishes he could physically be...
You know, in all seriousness, let's go home.
Wait...?
He was having nightmares, but right now, he's...
It's the chest-hair hunter!
Hunter?
Is that the reason for the elder's slump?
Who in the world--
Oh, no! This mysterious woman is the chest-hair hunter!?
I-I-I-I-It's you!
It's totally obvious, so don't play ignorant now!
If you're looking like that in the elder's dream...
...did you pluck his chest hair in that form before?
Don't pretend it's some fuzzy memory!
Hurry up and get rid of it!
Let's see...
This mysterious woman is probably the reason for his slump.
Despite running away from the reality that he has no chest hair...
She's proven to be so traumatic that she appears even in this dream, a place that is supposedly his ideal world.
That means... instinct is governed by libido...
I don't care, just hurry up.
Though I said that...
Even if this is a creation within someone else's dreams, that is her own shadow.
How will you fight, Guu?
Then, I'll go discuss it with her.
Excuse me!
Such a dull way to fight!?
We reconciled.
And it's quick!!
She said she'll stop plucking!
How did you conclude that!?
We reconciled by me threatening to swallow her.
Actually, I did swallow her.
I-I-Isn't that a little too rough a way to go about it!? You know! Hey!
And so the story goes.
Come out from there.
Guu-sama...
Now, nobody will be here to attack your chest hair.
Grow as much of it as you want.
Y-You were the cause yourself. What's with that attitude?
However... on my chest... there is not one...
Not one...
A good-luck spell, so that many will grow.
Elder...
Edler! You've finally woken up!
See, look!
Your chest hair is starting to grow!
It's the most disgusting thing, though.
Although the process was rather iffy, you did well, Guu.
Now, Toposte will be his cheerful self--
Wait, what the hell is this!?
All the power that he had sealed inside him is suddenly flowing out.
W-What is this?
No, this is the elder's chest hair...
I'll explain later! Right now, we have to get away from here...
Gramps...
He's out of his slump!
Toposte!
You're starting to look like someone getting absorbed by some mysterious creature!
This is no time to worry about others!
You'll get sucked in, too!
What is this serious situation we're in!?
We're gonna fly!
Hey, what is that!?
What is this..?
Somehow, it looks inhuman.
Yeah...
Wait, the culprit shouldn't talk about it as if it had nothing to do with her!
Thanks to the villagers' frantic searching, Toposte was safely rescued three days later.
All the chest hair that had entwined itself around Toposte's house was cut off in a month's time...
...and the jungle returned to its normal peaceful ness.
And the elder...
He's still nowhere to be found.
