If Rom was Neptune's Sister

00:00 If Rom and Neptune suddenly became sisters CD
00:05 The gentle Momotaro

00:09 Rom: Big sis Neptune, would you read me a picture book?
00:14 Neptune: Picture books are no good. I've said it multiple times, didn't I? In gamindustri, there's something much better than picture books.
00:22 Neptune: Beautiful graphics, fully voice acted scenarios, and sounds that doesn't exist in books. Games are truly the ultimate forms of the picture books that you like.
00:31 Rom: That's not true. Games don't have the exciting feeling of turning pages, or big sis's voice, or the warm feeling of big sis's lap. I want you to read it.
00:46 Neptune: Aww, so you want to hear my voice. Alright, it's a request from my cute sister after all. I'll read it for you.

01:05 Neptune: Umm, "When the old man went to the mountains to hunt for shiba(firewood), the old lady went to the river to wash her clothes."
01:14 Rom: What is a shiba? And why would you hunt it?
01:19 Neptune: Well, uh... a shiba is a god of destruction that has taken over a grave. It's a very bad person.
01:29 Neptune: The old man went to hunt him in order to keep the peace.
01:34 Rom: That's amazing. Is he a legendary hero?
01:39 Neptune: But that's different story, in this one the old lady is the important one. Lets carry on.
01:47 Neptune: "As the old lady was washing her clothes by the river, a giant peach appeared, splashing and tumbling as it floated down the river."
01:56 Neptune: "When the old lady reached out to grab the peach, the peach split open, and a healthy young boy emerged. The old lady named him 'Momotaro'."
02:04 Rom: Why did a boy pop out from the peach?
02:10 Neptune: Eh? That's what caught your attention? Umm, ah, that's right. The shiba that the old man killed ran and hid within the peach. That's why it grew so large, and why there was a boy inside of it.
02:24 Rom: Wow! So the old man already defeated the shiba. The old man hero is strong!
02:35 Rom: But, big sis, isn't Momotaro the god of destruction in a new form? Ah, he's going to seek revenge! The old man is in danger.
02:48 Neptune: That'll be something to look forward to. Lets continue.
02:52 Neptune: "The grown-up Momotaro travels to Onigashima to take care of the Ogres, who were causing mischief."
02:59 Rom: Oh, he's already grown up. Will he be alright when he takes on ogres?
03:06 Neptune: Well, he was originally a god of destruction, so it's not unusual for him to grow up fast. Ogres will do fine as his first opponent. Lets continue.
03:15 Neptune "The old lady gave him some millet dumplings as a snack. On his journey, he met a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. Upon giving each of them a dumpling, they became fast friends."
03:25 Rom: So Mr dog, Mr monkey and Mr Pheasant love dumplings. How cute.
03:32 Neptune: Ah, no, that's not it. Do you know what colour a millet dumping is? They are bright yellow.
03:38 Rom: Bright yellow? So like gold?
03:42 Neptune: Yep, bright yellow is the same colour as gold. He gave him bright yellow snacks, didn't he? The dog, monkey, and pheasant were tricked. Basically, they are mercenaries.
03:52 Rom: I didn't know that. And that Mr dog, Mr monkey and Mr Pheasant are mercenaries.
04:01 Neptune: Well, he is going to fight Ogres. Regular animals would've been useless. Anyway, it's about time for the climax.
04:09 Rom: Faster, faster.
04:13 Neptune: "When Momotaro reached the island, the dog bit, the monkey sliced, and the pheasant pecked at the ogres. Momotaro, with an iron club in hand, defeated the leader of the ogres in a climatic battle."
04:31 Rom: Everyone's so strong.
04:33 Neptune: Well, the animals are all professionals, after all. Plus, Momotaro used to be a god of destruction, so just simple mischief causing ogres are no match for him.
04:41 Rom: I kinda feel sorry for the ogres.
04:45 Neptune: "Momotaro made the ogres promise not to get up to any more mischief, and took the ogre's treasure for himself. He gave the treasure to the old man and the old lady, and they were delighted. And they lived happily ever after."
04:58 Rom: It's a good end! That was fun. Thank you, big sis.
05:04 Neptune: Well, after Momotaro returns with the treasure, there's a true end concerning if he should be resealed or not.
05:10 Rom: Really? I wanna hear more about that.
05:15 Neptune: I'm tuckered out, so maybe some other day. Rom, you should strive to be a legendary goddess, like that old man.
05:22 Rom: I got it. I'll work hard to be able to defeat the god of destruction.
05:29 Rom: I like how I learn something new every time you read with me. Please do it again soon.
