Please read from the upper left picture to the lower right one.
1, Look! Concent!
2, This is a new cell phone.
3, The president of the company provided me with this for company use.
4, Send me an email on this.
5, What a thin instruction manual! How am I supposed to set this up?
6, Okay, I'm done setting up!!!!
7, Consent, let's go buy some food!
8, What do you want for dessert? Cake? Cream puffs? Email me!
9, Why don't you email me? Okay, I'll buy you my favorite coffee jelly.
10, Gaaaah!
11, What's wrong with you?
12, Wonderful lightning!
13, I am a child of the god of thunder. I want to become a splendid lightning generator. Please make me your disciple!
14, Are you the child of the god of thunder? You are wearing a very fancy costume. Is it a current fad?
15, Gaaaah!
16, You are the real god of thunder...
17, I am a child of the real God of Thunder.
18, Oh, is he my master's roommate?
19, Huh? You can't reach him by email?
20, I converted my phone to a smart phone and Consent is not emailing me.
21, You are just now realizing that. My mentor is violently sending out the airwaves.
22, If you can get in touch with Consent, I will do anything for you!
23, Anything?
24, I'm willing to do anything for it.
25, Where are you going by train?
26, We are going to appease the god of the forest who lives in the next city.
27, What do you mean by appease the god of the forest? Isn't the god of thunder the god who punishes those who have done wrong?
28, No, the god of thunder strikes lightning to extinguish bad energy that has built up in people and things.
29, I see.
30,So what does this boy do...
31, I wanted to come to this house.
32, Wow, this is a very green place.
33, My father did not want to destroy the shrine on this mountainside, so he did not sell this land!
34, Do you live in this house?
35, No, I am the son of the owner of this house. I live near the station.
36, Come on in.
37, My mom died and my dad alone was taking care of the shrine and he ended up in the hospital.
38, So, I guess that's why all the bad vibes have built up here.
39, Then I asked you to do the rest.
40, You can use any of the tools here. Use these to cut the trees, cut the grass and clean the shrine.
41, What?
42, After cleaning, please offer these dumplings to the shrine.
43, My dad says the god of the shrine likes these dumplings.
44, Well, thank you for coming on such short notice, Mr. gardener. And take care of the rest!
45, I am not a gardener!!!!
46, Also, better not let the kids wear fancy costumes!
47, The grass is all over the place!
48, I sense a shrine grudge.
49, Look, a black mass on top of the mountain!
50, No, I don't see it at all.
51, Can you make that lump disappear with a bolt of lightning from Consent?
52, Yes, once the mountain is cleaned up, Consent will send out lightning to put it out!
53, What's wrong, Consent?
54, Was there a grudge?
55, There seemed to be a bug.
56, Insects abound in the mountains in summer.
57, You see, I sprayed a lot of insect repellent and put on mosquito coils!
58, You stay quiet.
59, Well, I guess I'll just keep cleaning.
60, What kind of god is enshrined in this shrine?
61, Does the god of this shrine have any blessings?
62, Of course!
63, A long time ago, a young man came to this area to get firewood
64, Hmmm, so?
65, and was almost attacked by a wild boar,
66, but was saved by a tree that fell just in time!
67, Since then, this tree has been enshrined here as a tree of help to others!
68, Just a tree!
69, This is ridiculous. I'm going home.
70, ????? This is a fine tree that has helped people...
71, I don't have to clean the tree, just leave it where it is.
72, That's how it is with people.
73,People are grateful when you help them, but they soon forget to thank you.
74, Voices in my head!
75, God of the mountains, forgive him. This man has forgotten his purpose, which is to make the robot's voice heard.
76, Oh, that I had forgotten about that! I need to clean this pile up!
