48 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - my commentary on the fully unlocked art gallery

Dear Readers,

Now that I had the game completed 100%, it was time to check out the bonus gallery!

This was accompanied with the sound of being on a moving train with a Japanese announcer voice mentioning the Fuji no Hana stop. I had the link bonus from the other Guild games as well so everything here was unlocked.

Front Cover: This gallery was presented as a spiral notebook style. The cover was titled "Space Defense Department Junior Member Notebook" and it had the logo and all on it. Nice textured yellow/orange colour.

Junior Member Code of Conduct: Some nice guidelines both in Japanese and English.

Character Illustrations 1: Designs for Sohta, his dad, his mom and S-chan. All lovely designs with rosy cheeks.

Character Illustrations 2: Designs for Ramen, Akebi, Nanafushi, Billboard and A Plus. All pleasant characters with good colours for their different shirts and tops. Helps with their identifier markers on the map I suppose! It was also nice to see them labelled with their full names.

Character Illustrations 3: Designs for Frank, Megami, the police officer, Emily, Ramen's dad and Akebi's dad. All very nice designs, again with distinctive colours. That reminds me, we don't know anything about Emily's love interest.

Secrets! For Your Eyes Only!: Designs for that little airplane, Cleaner Man and Cleaner Man Junior. Wow. These were designed by Tetsuro Kasahara, whereas the people were designed by Shunsuke Honma. The designs are kinda cool. We never met Cleaner Man Junior incarnation. He's wearing yellow with red stars, just like Sohta's shirt.

More Secrets For Your Eyes Only!: Designs for the U.F.O. and Frankasaurus. Very cool red, black and purple colours.

Image Boards: The title screen scene with traffic from the title screen, designed by Hiromichi Ito aka Kusanagi. Nice town traffic scene with an interesting three wheel car there.

Concept Art 1: Building designs by Asako Kumura. Looks like a densely built yet small town. Is this the level crossing that is always closed off? Is that the police station and Ramen's Diner?

Concept Art 2: The dry cleaner storefront! Nice delivery motorcycle.

Backdrop Concept 1: The lovely greenery around the path near the well. I like the foreground flora and the way it has an outline. Specially designed for the 3D effect, which isn't available here. Layout by Kaz Ayabe, Asako Kumura.

Backdrop Concept 2: The path near the empty lot. Nice colours and building designs.

Backdrop Concept 3: Inside the Dry Cleaners. Again the outline around the foreground clothes makes it look like they're outlined specifically for the 3D effect. Love the foreground stuff.

Backdrop Concept 4: The podium at the TV station. Nice place to have a Space Defense Department ceremony!

TV Show Poster: Long rotated portrait of one of the monsters along with captions in Japanese and English, the latter being "DON'T MISS IT! THIS FRIDAY!" and it has some cool painting. This was done by Kenichi Kato of Laugh Creation.

Back Cover: The back cover of the notebook with pictures of male and female members in  uniform along with the logo. This is a nice notebook!

I can imagine if there was a special physical version of this it would have a physical recreation of this notebook. A nice companion piece to the experience. It might be nice to look up some of these illustrators as well to check out their other works!

47 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - 100% completion with the frankasaurus card!

Dear Readers,

With all the conversation topics explored and exhausted, all I had left to do was to collect card #14 by obtaining all the Space Monster glims.

I finally consulted a walkthrough and found that you can only win these glims from S-chan, so I challenged her to Monster Cards.

I lost and kept a losing streak for ages and ages. The walkthrough said I could only win glims if I was the boss, which meant I now had to win at least twice in a row.

After many many card battles with S-chan, I eventually won a finale with a lovely 5-nil, obtaining the glim I needed for the Frankasaurus card!

I was absolutely thrilled and cheered at the top of my voice when I completed my Monster Card collection! Then I remembered my errand.

I went to Emily and told her I had forgotten the errand due to collecting Monster Cards. She said she forgot too, so we were even. She thanked me for delivering the laundry and that was the last episode I had to finish! Everything was complete now!

I got some glims and a new conversation topic, that being I collected all the Monster Cards!

Emily said I could taste all her cakes if I had the money to pay for them of course!

Mom, Dad and S-chan all congratulated me. The other kids were amazed too but Nanafushi accused me of cheating. Whatever.

A-Plus changed the topic and I didn't know how to get the Monster Card complete topic again so I reloaded the save I made just before I talked to him. Gotta be careful...

Ramen's dad said the same as Emily, but he offered a discount!

Akebi's dad said he was sure the people who wrote the text and drew the art were happy too!

I took a look at the Frankasaurus card. Very cool picture of him in plate mail and it gives an extra hint in battles. Quite nice, though I won't be doing much more battling.

Billboard was impressed enough to want my autograph!

Megami-chan said to look out for season two!

The police officer said I must've went through quite a bit to get them all. I sure did!

Frank asked what a Monster Card was and if it was a better way to store monsters than in those little round capsules. Nice Pokémon reference :)

46 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - nanafushi the next big thing

Dear Readers,

The last topic was Nanafushi's about him being the next big thing.

A-Plus said he had a "b" and an "i" and a "g", finishing by saying he was halfway to bingo.

Yeah this was kinda why I left this topic until last. What an ego...

Ramen was predictably unimpressed, not believing Nanafushi was the next "big king" haha.

Akebi said he was probably trying to fit into his old pants, which was pretty funny.

Ramen's dad didn't know what it meant and then he changed the topic. Gah.

S-chan said it meant he was going to be larger than average in the future couldn't compute why that was important. She speaks like a computer from outer space sometimes. It's fun.

Dad wondered if he was talking about his growth spurt.

Mom said maybe he was going to oust the current big thing.

Emily just wanted to say she was still bigger haha.

Akebi's dad didn't know what he could mean apart from him being taller than the rest of us.

Billboard said Nanafushi just liked saying that and it meant he was always asking for the next big serving of food. He's a good friend to him :)

Megami-chan said since "Nana" meant the number seven, he was probably counting on his natural luck to take him to new heights.

The police officer just wanted to say he himself was even bigger.

That's it for Nanafushi and all the conversation topics I could find.

45 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - everyone's favourite food

Dear Readers,

Ramen's dad asked me for new menu ideas. I went around to ask everyone.

Akebi said her dad liked yakisoba with ramen noodles instead of yakisoba noodles.

A-Plus wanted more meat in the diner's meals.

Nanafushi said I couldn't just ask everyone that or else they'd just talk about what gross stuff they eat and it would be chaos. Whatever!

Mom said curry that sits in the fridge for three days was pretty good.

Dad said rice and red bean paste together would taste like sweet mochi.

S-chan said she liked the jelly-ears they used in the fried vegetables so she wanted more. She said it was a type of mushroom.

Emily recommended putting whipped cream on an okonomiyaki, which made it come out like a French pastry.

Billboard recommended against putting chocolate on warm rice to make choco-rice. Not what I asked but oh well!

Megami-chan recommended thickening up a sauce with a little starch for pouring over instant noodles, which made it taste like you pan-fried them.

The police officer recommended putting rice into the leftover broth from instant noodles.

That's everyone. Not that I was able to feed this back to Ramen's Dad. The new things people had to say were interesting though.

44 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - our dangerous town

Dear Readers,

I decided to address the topic of living in such a dangerous place. This was Ramen's topic.

Akebi thought it was strange alright, but couldn't bear the thought of living anywhere else.

A-Plus thought about moving but said Akebi would be sad without him.

Ramen's dad said the area around his shop was always safe for some reason, so if more people came to watch it from there they'd be making good money.

S-chan liked the idea of having an exciting life to look back at.

Dad said it was hard to say as we just moved here.

Mom reckoned everyone just loved this town.

Billboard loved monsters so he was happy.

Megami-chan liked living on the edge.

The police officer said laundry gets dirty when monsters show up, so my family made a smart business decision.

43 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - the new tv show!

Dear Readers,

I decided to hype everyone up about Megami-chan's new show starring Cleaner Man. I referred to her as "old lady" and she was not thrilled! I got the topic from her.

Emily was half thinking of auditioning if it was going to be as fun as I said it was gonna be.

Dad liked the idea but then changed the topic. Gah. I had to reset it.

Billboard liked the idea as well but he was just as happy with the other show.

Akebi's dad said that information wasn't public yet!

Mom said we kids shouldn't watch so much TV all the time.

S-chan said she was hoping it'll be a quiz show and she'd love to go on it.

Nanafushi said he'd like to audition.

A-Plus said he was tired of the commotion it causes in town.

Akebi was excited and said her dad already told her.

Ramen was jealous he hadn't heard about it first, since he stays up to date with the TV station's shows.

Ramen's dad thought about having them run an ad for his diner.

42 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - is akebi changing schools?

Dear Readers,

I decided to talk to everyone about Akebi changing schools. I got the topic from Mom.

I told Dad and since she was our neighbour he wondered if she was moving.

S-chan said it was okay as I could take the train to go see her at her new home.

Akebi's dad said it was news to him. So it wasn't true?

Akebi herself said she wasn't transferring and Ramen got "changing schools" and "changing rules" mixed up. Oops! Also, she changed the topic. Gah.

I kept the topic going, even though I know now it's a mistaken rumour. A Plus didn't believe it and Ramen said it was said. Nanafushi said Ramen was in shock. Ramen's dad even said it was tragic as his son had a little crush on her. Aw :)

Emily said if that family moved it would affect her sales. The police officer said that was sad and Megami-chan hoped her father wasn't taking an offer from another station. Billboard said it sounded like a rumour.

Not going to spread the rumour anymore. Time to change topic.

41 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - the mysterious glims

Dear Readers,

I'm interested in glims, so let's talk to everyone about glims! I got the topic from Billboard after speaking to Frank.

I asked Megami-chan and she had no idea, but she was told they made them from a light source discovered in the mountains 10 years ago and it was called the K-10 Site.

Emily said they were so pretty and she loved having them on her nightstand at night.

Dad said they were probably just rays of interstellar light energy fusing together, but that was between him and me.

Mom told me to ask Dad and she changed the topic. Gah. I had to reset it again.

S-chan told me it was a technology our planet hadn't discovered yet and she'd tell me when I become older.

Ramen's dad said you can't eat them. Ramen himself thought they ran on batteries.

Akebi said she asked her dad but he used really big words. I already asked him and he just found them mysterious.

Nanafushi thought it was some kind of wind up mechanism but there wasn't one at all. I obtained another Jumbogon card from battling with him and getting so many glims.

40 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - the dangers of frankasaurus

Dear Readers,

I decided to talk to everyone about the Frankasaurus monster. I got this by talking to Akebi's dad after speaking to Frank.

Billboard said the monster would be asked to get out of the way if it went to see Tokyo Tower.

Megami-chan said it would pull in a lot of ratings on a rival show, but she'd never forgive the breach of contract.

The police officer pieced together Frank and Frankasaurus, thinking like a mystery solver. He also changed the topic so I had to reset it.

Dad didn't like the monster making the laundry dirty.

Mom didn't like the monster either as it sounded like it wouldn't eat everything on its plate.

Ramen's dad found the monster's potential appetite to be fearful and said he'd suspend his free refills on rice policy with him around.

I obtained another Qube card with all the battles and glims that resulted from these interactions as well.

Akebi said no one got hurt when Frankasaurus showed up so she reckoned it wouldn't be so bad.

Ramen said it would be the kind of monster that would dine and ditch.

A-Plus said the monster wouldn't be bad and Nanafushi said the same thing, adding that assuming it would do bad things was an old way of thinking.

Emily said the monster would probably try to eat the cakes in her shop. Instead of the cookie monster, he would be the cake monster!

39 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - talking to everyone about frank being from outer space

Dear Readers,

I decided to talk to everyone about Frank being from outer space. I talked to Frank to get his topic and then to the police officer to get this topic.

I talked to a few people about this already so I won't mention them if I can remember.

Akebi's dad said it did sound like something Frank would say. Mom said our planet was from outer space too if you think about it. Dad just found it amusing.

Emily found it fishy since space was really dark.

Ramen's dad reckons Frank just orders ramen because the swirl on the narutomaki was like a space nebula.

Akebi and Ramen thought it was cool and they were a little jealous as they wanted to go to space someday. Nanafushi said anything like that made sense these days.

38 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - who is cleaner man?

Dear Readers,

I decided I wanted to learn more about Cleaner Man. This was S-chan's topic.

I talked to Nanafushi and A-Plus about it and they liked him. After winning some Monster Card games I obtained enough glims for another Gidron card.

I forget who, but one of them changed the topic and I had to fight several losing battles against S-chan to obtain the topic again. It took ages.

Ramen's dad said he was the hero, joking in the same way Dad did. He called himself Ramen Papa as his superhero identity! 

I asked Ramen and he didn't believe when Mom said the hero was Dad, but he thought he was cool. Akebi loved the hero too.

Emily didn't know the hero at all as she was passed out when the fight was going on!

The police officer said this incident was full of things that would never be resolved, including the hero's identity.

Billboard said he had no idea about Cleaner Man as he was more interested in the monsters.

Akebi's dad said he had his suspicions and was close to solving the mystery and asked if I had figured it out myself.

That was all I could learn about Cleaner Man. I checked my glims and cards and I only had one glim to go to obtain the only card I hadn't gotten yet!

37 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - dad's conversation topics about billboard and feedback

Dear Readers,

I was curious about what everyone had to say about Billboard's whereabouts, so I talked to Dad. I thought that was his topic but it wasn't. His topic was actually about asking people for feedback on our dry cleaning.

I reviewed the last few posts and it turned out that Billboard's whereabouts was one of his topics! But it was only in response to the topic about being handsome and popular! So people have more than one topic? That's going to get very confusing...

I obtained an Islador card after being challenged to Monster Cards by Billboard, winning and filling my monstrous monster glims. His reaction to his missing person topic was to say he wasn't lost, then changing the topic to glims.

By the way, the paths in this game make a loop similar to the shape of the number 8 and it gets confusing when I'm looking for his position, which is in the centre. The path intersects here but not on the same level and it mixes me up a lot!

Also, Frank said in response to the dry cleaner survey that he'd be willing to have his suit cleaned if our reputation was good.

I decided to change the topic to Dad's other topic, feedback on the dry cleaners. The only episode I had left was The Errant Errand so I was hoping it was related. I spoke to Emily since I had an errand to do with her. She said we were doing great and if I didn't believe her, to take it from the cake because her cakes didn't lie. I feel good about that!

I then asked her dad the police officer and he apologised and said he couldn't show favouritism as a government official.

I asked Ramen's Dad and he said we had a great reputation, as the only one who ever complained was him! Nice answer :)

I asked Ramen himself and he said his dad had nothing but praise for us. That's nice! Also, he challenged me to Monster Cards and I won, winning an Asteroid Alien card and obtaining an Octarian card, which showed an alien with a helmet and squid-like tentacles. It was kind of cool though it was unfortunate it was weak against Earth illnesses.

Akebi and A-Plus had nice things to say about us, but Nanafushi changed the topic to himself again. Yeesh.

S-chan said the satisfaction level of our shop was 78%, so that's cool :)

36 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - matching spells and talking about ramen/somen confusion

Dear Readers,

I adopted A Plus' topic of conversation about having the same spell and went around chatting to people. I spoke to most people about this topic already.

The other kids said they'd go easy on me if I spoke to them with their spell and something interesting might happen too. Emily told us to be nice to each other in any case. She also changed the topic! Not sure why that happens or why it doesn't.

I decided to change my spell to match whoever I was speaking to. I referred back to my notes in previous posts and changed it depending on this.

I didn't notice any change when I spoke to Akebi, but I won a Penguidon card from glims when I defended my title against her and won.

Nothing really happened when I changed my spell to Ramen's or Nanafushi's. I did fill my mystery glims when I beat S-chan at Monster Cards and obtained a New Hero Cleaner Man card! His cry was some kid of robotic speech. He just looked like a big muscular dude and it talked about his powerful Sparkle Punch. He can also triumph over draws.

I then got caught in another card battle and this card lost in a draw? This was kinda weird. It said infinite as his value but I guess it's just random?

Nothing happened when I talked to Billboard with his spell either. Not sure what's going on.

I changed the topic to Akebi's Ramen/Somen confusion. Ended up having conversations about other similar sounding Japanese food. Ramen's dad said they had both kinds, so I had that choice at least.

35 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - gathering more conversation topics

Dear Readers,

I went to talk to Billboard about Frank but instead my topic was about my U.F.O. card I just obtained! Gah! On top of that he challenged me to Monster Cards!

With my UFO card I was able to see how many of rock, scissors or paper he had. Also I could now see that my UFO card was paper. This allowed me to see what the opponent's one was if I was winning or losing.

When I beat Billboard, I still had the Frank topic thank goodness. He said Frank liked ramen more than sausage anyway. He then talked about his art on the bridge, which was of the glims. This changed the topic to glims. I wondered what they were and he said they were weird and some of them even had batteries. I'm just thankful I'm not paying for them like with real life trading cards!

I talked to Frank about glims and he was about to tell me what they were but stopped himself in case he'd get in trouble for disclosing secret tech.

I reset the topic to Frank and talked to Mom. She asked if I wanted hot dogs for dinner as I seemed to be interested in sausages. She then said she was talking to Ramen and asked me if it was true that Akebi was changing schools? This was her conversation topic and it changed to that.

I went back to Frank and told him about Akebi's change of school. He asked if she was going to a different planet that Earth controlled before remembering that we didn't do things on that big a scale. Not yet at least.

I talked to Nanafushi about Frank and he said he'd rather talk about himself as the next big thing! That was his conversation topic he changed it to. I went back to Frank to reset it, after having to play Nanafushi in Monster Cards again.

I talked to Ramen about Frank and he had no idea he wasn't named after a sausage. He then changed the topic to it being dangerous to live here with the monsters around. I talked to Frank about this and he said it was because of the hero that it was dangerous. He would say that since he had the Frankasaurus.

I talked to Akebi about Frank and she said it must've been Ramen's noodle brain family that messed up his name. She then made a mistake saying "Somen" instead of "Ramen". This was her change to the conversation topic and I adopted it as my own word mistake! I talked to Frank about this and he was fine with it, as he loved the ginger ramen. I like ginger too, although I didn't always. There's a place I like to go that has chili ginger fried rice. It's so good :) 

With that, I had everybody's conversation topics. It's a pity I can't just pick them from a list and I have to reset the topic every time I want to keep using it and it changes. Oh well!

34 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - talking to people about frank

Dear Readers,

The last one to speak with on the topic of being handsome and popular was A Plus, so I had to beat him at Monster Cards again. He said I was old news compared to him, but he was only joking!

I decided to change the topic of conversation to Frank, so I went back to him. I then talked to the police officer who changed the topic to Frank being from outer space. He humoured the idea and said maybe he meant out of town.

I told Megami and she said she had a hunch.

I told Billboard and he thought it was cool and he'd like to be like that too.

I told Akebi's dad and he said Frank would say something like that alright.

I told S-chan and she changed the topic of conversation to the hero! Gah! I had to go back to Frank. He told me what he knew about the hero already. I talked to him again with the update about him being from outer space I got from the police officer. He talked about wanting to go home but he couldn't finish his job. He said his planet was located inside the great Magellanic Cloud. He said you can't see it here in the Northern Hemisphere.

With this, his episode was now complete and I got a few glims. I wanted to continue the topic with other people though.

I told Ramen's dad and he changed the topic to new menu ideas! He thought Frank was short for Frankfurter. I'll come back to this, but I wanted to continue with the topic of Frank.

I told Frank about menu ideas and he said he was unhappy with having a type of sausage named after him. He was willing to forgive this if someone sent him a year's supply of sausages. Just be sure not to get them all at once Frank!

I told Megami about Frank, the non updated version and she told me about a new show she was excited about making. The topic changed to this. She did not like being called an old lady though! Yikes! Her episode was now complete so I got a few glims, completed the Space Saucer and obtained a U.F.O. card! This card said I could see an opponent's type totals. It didn't have any rock, scissors or paper thing. Wow... It also played that U.F.O. sound as its cry.

I went back to Frank to reset the topic. He was surprised to hear about a new show being developed and no one even asked him if he wanted a role.

I told Akebi's dad about Frank and he changed the topic to Frankasaurus!

I went back to Frank. He said it cost 2,400,000 a year to lease Frankasaurus, which was the really bad thing it could do.

It seems that Frank resets the conversation and I can change the topic whenever I have his topic, so I keep going back to him to reset when everyone tells me their topic. I think that's how it goes anyway. I'm still learning this strange system.

33 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - popularity topic with everyone else

Dear Readers,

I wanted to talk to the others on the topic of being handsome and popular, but I had to challenge them all again to Monster Cards.

I told S-chan and she asked if I won some kind of charisma contest. Took ages to beat her.

I told Nanafushi and he said he was jealous. Didn't take long to beat him thankfully.

I told Ramen and he didn't believe me, saying he was better.

I told Akebi and she asked who told me I was handsome and she asked herself why did she care.

I told Billboard and he said I could keep both handsomeness and popularity! He said people just expect more of you when you're either of those. Wise words!

That's it for this conversation topic!

32 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - learning the conversation topic changing system

Dear Readers,

I walked around town, telling people Billboard was missing. This was the conversation topic I was sticking to now.

I told Ramen's dad and he said Billboard was able to down the large rice plate in five minutes flat and he had a bright future ahead of him!

I told the police officer who said to come straight to him if I learned anything else about it.

I told Megami-chan and she said everything was okay because he was just a mysterious kid.

I told Frank and he said it was impossible for a kid to leave the planet without some kind of rocket. He then changed the conversation topic back to him not wanting to be called a Frankfurter!

I was then able to change the topic back to me being handsome when I chatted to Emily.

So this is how I change the conversation topic... I better learn what triggers the change in topics...

I then talked to A Plus who challenged me! I became his servant again! I have to learn what triggers what event if I want to see more fun dialogue bits and collect other stuff...

I told Ramen's dad about me being handsome and popular and he said if I brought any of my dates to his diner he'd give me a free cup of tea! That's awesome :) I thought he was going to say something funny or put me in my place for being swell-headed, but no! He catered for the scenario instead!

I told Akebi's dad and he said that was good but I better be nice to girls still as being popular was no excuse to make them cry. Good advice...

I told Frank and he took the word "pop" from "popular" and talked about "pop goes the weasel" which ended up with him feeling more mystified by this planet.

He changed the topic, so I changed the topic back through Emily.

I told mom about me being popular and she said that was nice but she liked a nice smile and an energetic attitude better.

31 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - handsome conversation topic among others

Dear Readers,

Now that I had everybody's spells, I could change the topic of conversation whenever I wanted or whenever I beat someone at Monster Cards.

But first, I wanted to talk to everyone with A Plus' topic, the one about using the same spell. I said it to Ramen's dad, but he thought I said "smell" and made a funny rhyme.

I continued wandering, picking up glims as I went along. I met Frank and told him about using the same spell. He didn't really get it, as it wasn't even real. Haha.

The topic seemed to change to Frank being an alien and not a frankfurter. When I chatted with Emily, this was the topic. She then changed the topic to me being a handsome kid who's popular with girls! She said she bet I was popular with them anyway, as I reminded her of a boy she had a crush on when she was growing up! Aw! She then got worried about giving me the wrong idea haha.

I talked to the policeman again with this topic and he said he was like that when he was young and reckless, but told me to keep that quiet as he didn't want to set a bad example now.

I talked to Megami-chan with this topic and she said Akebi told her a handsome transfer student showed up at school! Wow! She said Akebi was Goyouin-san's daughter.

I talked to Dad with this topic and he said of course I was handsome as I was his son! Then he changed the topic of conversation to Billboard's whereabouts :( How do I change it back to me being handsome and popular??

30 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - learning everybody's spells

Dear Readers,

The other kids were in the neighbourhood.

I was still Nanafushi's boss. He thought the hero was the coolest hero ever.

A Plus suggested changing my spell to match my opponent's. He was my boss at the moment so I changed some of my words to Suddenly, Muchoon, Bo Bo Bo-Byuun, Fall Down, Doron-Doron. This was his spell and I had to press HOME and write it down as it was weirdly hard to remember every word he said. When I matched my spell with his I unlocked a new topic of conversation!

This topic happened to be the one about changing the spell to match your opponent's spell. I'm guessing the one about the hero was S-chan's.

I decided to record everyone's spells. Nanafushi's spell was Jiwa-Jiwa, Guru-Guru, Suddenly, Fall Down, Muchoon.

Akebi's spell was Guru-Guru, Fuwa-Fuwa, Koron-Koron, Fall Down, Bo Bo Bo-Byuun.

Ramen thought it was a good idea to use the same spell. S-chan thought so too and said she might go easy on me if I did that.

S-chan's spell was Muchoon, Muchoon, Bo Bo Bo-Byuun, Fall Down, Suddenly.

Dad thought it was a good idea to have a common spell between all of us in solidarity. Mom didn't understand the kind of magic we kids were using nowadays.

The police officer told me about his chat with his daughter Emily about her being in love and he wanted to learn to take care of stuff at home by himself a bit more since she wanted to get married. I told him about the spell and he just advised us to be careful and wash our hands when we got home.

I told Megami-chan about using the same spell and she said we were all so close. I got a Space Monster glim at this point further west by the footprints.

I found Billboard by the bridge with the writing, except now he had painted it all cool crazy patterns. He liked the idea of having the same spell too. I wanted to get his spell, but I had to lose to him in Monster Cards first as I was his boss, so I tried to play a losing game against him. This is a weird way to play but it's making me play the Monster Cards game more often. Billboard even noticed I was trying to lose when I tried swapping my winning cards.

Billboard's spell was Bo Bo Bo-Byuun, Come Forth, Start Dancing, Fall Down, Muchoon.

Akebi's dad said it was a good idea to have the same spell, as something good could happen.

I obtained another Progenodon card from the glims I was collecting.

Finally, I deliberately lost to Ramen to hear his spell, which was Guru-Guru, Jiwa-Jiwa, Start Dancing, Fall Down, Come Forth. That was every spell!

29 attack of the friday monsters! a tokyo tale - s-chan helping with laundry

Dear Readers,

I began my Saturday at the door of our shop. I looked inside and saw Mom and Dad were busy, but S-chan was also here! And she was helping!

S-chan wanted to play Monster Cards right away. I decided not to just to become her servant. I didn't mind. I can always become her boss later.

I chatted with Dad, who seemed to have a new zest for life. He was rewashing the laundry that got splattered with mud yesterday and he seemed happy to do it. He even said he'd commit to the diner owner's situation and improve on his own work.

I asked Dad what he thought about the hero and he said it was him before saying he was joking. I asked Mom the same and she said Dad told her not to tell me who it was.

It took me ages but I beat S-chan at Monster cards and got a Space Saucer glim. I asked her what sh thought of the monster but she said she asked me to look into it.

Now to go outside!
