Crisis! A Starving Karura Loses His Feathers!/Story/Chapter One

Aaaah, working hard sure whips up an appetite. Let's get something to eat before we head back!

We're not allowed to stop anywhere...

Aw, it's fine! We're already passing by the shopping district anyways.

We're supposed to go straight back when we're done with the mission...

Can't you let it slide this one time?
If I've worked hard, I deserve a good reward. That's just how it works.

I know you can't help eating vices due to how you're made. But even during missions, all you talk about is food...

Are you listening to me, Karura?
Karura? Where'd he go...

Ah, this is simply mouth-watering! Their new side dish doesn't look bad either!

Karura... listen when people are talking to you.
You could stand to be a bit more serious, you know?

But we're already done with our mission. I'm all relaxed now.

What is it with you...?
Anyhow, if you eat that much, you'll throw up again.

Oh, so I'm supposed to eat this after the main dish...
Wait a second! Are they selling freshly made croquettes here!?

Ah...

Oh my, do I see Taishakuten and Karuraten over there?
What are you two doing here?

Well, isn't it obvious?
We're on our way back from a mission.

It looks more like you're in the middle of a long eating and shopping spree, though...

I'm terribly sorry about this happening, despite my presence.
Lord Ashuku, are you also on a mission?

I'm here to buy some limited edition beauty products.
They were so hard to get! After I finally worked up the determination to buy them, you know?

Limited edi... I'm afraid I don't know much about this.
Are these items worth going to such lengths to obtain?

I mean, they're limited edition, you know? Limited edition!
See this bath bomb here? It's made to look like candy and gives off the sweetest scent!

Hold a moment - was...
Was there something fishy in that croquette?
I feel... bad...

And look at this - it's got the most beautiful form!
Ah, pretty, shiny things just strike one right in the heart, wouldn't you agree?

I see. Technology sure has progressed considerably.
The colors in this one are so vibrant...

You're so right!
As a pure maiden, I've just got to have to have trendy stuff like this!

I'm - I'm at my limit...!

Bleeeeeeeeeech!

Aaah! What do you think you're doing?!

Karura... I told you, didn't I...!

Blarg... ugh...

This is trouble, Taishakuten!
He's thrown up a vice!

Ugh... I don't feel so good...

Karura doesn't look like he's going to be any help here.
Lord Ashuku, I'm terribly sorry, but could I ask you to help me out here?

Dear me, even though this is my day off...
Karura, you better remember this later!

Oh, this is so bad. I've gotta make a run for it now, while I have the chance, or...

Damn it...
I feel terrible, I can't even fly...!

And where are you headed?
You realize this little incident could have endangered lives, don't you?

It- It's no use trying to tell me things.
I'm not at fault here!

I'm saying you can't just keep eating whatever you see whenever you feel like it.
As punishment, you're grounded for a while. And no snacking during that time either!

What!? You can't- Taishakuten! Say something, please!

I agree with Lord Ashuku.

WHAAAAAAAT?!

While you're grounded, I want you to properly reflect on what you've done!
