**Ashibi Yao** (八 (や) 百 (打) あしび, *Happyaku Ashibi*?) is the 1st Chapter of Daisuke Enoshima's manga series, *Fabricant 100*.

## Introduction

A doctor fixated with creating the perfect human being began creating dolls to transform into the perfect human being, which he refers to as Fabricants. Unfortunately for the Doctor, he dies after producing 100 Fabricants. When the Doctor died, the group of Fabricants he developed decided to carry on the Doctor's goal of creating the ideal human being by stealing human flesh from actual humans.

## Plot

April 26. A female passenger on the Orthrus Express was kidnapped from a moving train and vanished with no trace. A search was conducted in the area based on the testimony of the victim's partner who was with her at the time—but it was fruitless. The missing woman's body, however, was discovered the next day in an area that had previously been investigated, with both of her eyes gouged out.

A few days after the woman's corpse with her eyes gouged out was discovered, a young boy named Ashibi Yao began investigating the case. One of the passengers of the train recognized him as someone from Yao Family. Ashibi Yao is a member of a well-known family who was brutally murdered. They are known for having a very long lifespan as well as maintaining a youthful appearance throughout their lives. Ashibi was present to see his entire clan annihilated by the Fabricants. The partner of the recent victim caught Ashibi Yao and the lady passenger's attention in the middle of their conversation. Since the incident, the man has tried to visit the train whenever possible. He was about to propose to the victim at that timd, but he had lost her before he had the chance. Ashibi Yao and the lady he was with who's in a white long dress and a white flat cap followed the man to interrogate if he had seen a creature with stiches all over its body which confused the man. Ashibi then explained who the Fabricants are and what their goal is.

Fabricants are dolls created by a Doctor on the outskirts of a village who sought for an ideal human being. The creation of the 100th Fabricant marked the end of the doctor's life. The Fabricants, who were left, were seized by their creator's obsession with transforming them into the ideal humans they were meant to be. They theorized that all they needed to do was steal superior human flesh and attach it to their own bodies.

At some point, the recent victim's partner misinterpreted Ashibi Yao's words as a pun, rendering his explanation meaningless. He explained that even if they catch the murderer, it will not bring back Luna, the victim's name. He questions Ashibi about his desire to meet the Fabricant. Ashibi then led the way to the bus's exterior. He then scratches his left arm with the ring, which is multifunctional because it contains a small knife. His blood is a tempting bait for nearby or even 250m away Fabricants, especially since he is superior flesh for them. The nearby Fabricant was drawn in by Ashibi's blood. It's the Fabricant No. 12. The Fabricant was flaunting Luna's eyes, the most recent victim, which it already wearing that made Luna's partner reacted. He was preceded by the woman who was with Ashibi Yao as he approached Fabricant 12. She has the same stitches all over her body now that its cap has been removed. Ashibi declares that he will make certain that no one else suffers the same agony he did many years ago.

There has been an unusual increase in the number of unsolved murders in the country in recent years, with one particularly notable case involving a large family. It was, unfortunately, the Yao Family. He was there, heartbrokenly watching his family, his sister, die in front of him while he was powerless to intervene. In order to survive, he declared aloud that his family line was at its peak when reaching the age of 18. He was still 14 years old at the time, so he negotiated with them for at least another four years. Another part of his bargain is that they should kill all of the other Fabricants who have been scattered around the world within the four years he requested, and once he reaches the age of 18, he will turn himself in and they can do whatever they want with his body as long as all other Fabricants are killed within that time frame. Fabricant 100, who happened to be present at the time, accepted Ashibi Yao's offer. She is the Doctor's final fabricant. She annihilated all of the other Fabricants who was with her just know, making her as the strongest of them all, she claims, because she was the last one created, and she will accept the boy's offer so she can have his perfect body once Ashibi Yao turns 18 years old. From that day on, his body is owned by Fabricant 100, and her powers are all his.

Fabricant 12 who was being strangled by Fabricant 100 decided to flee because he believed he couldn't fight back to Fabricant 100's strength. Unfortunately, Fabricants were bred with the desire to become an ideal human, and once a fabricant becomes aware of the presence of superior flesh, they will be unable to turn back, and they will be unable to flee even if they are in the middle of an unwinnable fight. Even if it's only a drop, Ashibi Yao's blood is more appealing to Fabricants than survival itself. Nothing beats a good piece of bait. Despite the fact that the Fabricant 12 is fighting Fabricant 100, it begged Ashibi for his arms, which enraged Fabricant 100. She punched 12 in the face and gouged out the eyes it stole from their most recent victim.

Regardless of the inability to resurrect the dead, Luna's partner had simply accepted it and continued on. He then offered Ashibi Yao his assistance if he needed it in the future, which Ashibi gladly accepted. With that encounter with Fabricant 12, there are now 82 more Fabricants to go before they can finish off all of them.
