**Episode 20** of Forever After is the twentieth episode in the series.

## Summary

Robin and Tank ventures through the tale of *Momotaro* and meet a confident young woman with an abrasive attitude.

## Plot

Robin chooses the next story to work on, picking one that has already been started, adding that she has never heard of it.

Transported the the realm of *Momotaro*, Robin and Tank look at each other, and quickly realized that Robin has the ears and tail of a monkey and Tank has the wings and clawed feet of a pheasant. Tank is irritated at Robin for picking a half-finished story, despite himself doing the same with Rapunzel, while Robin guesses that all they have to do is pick some peaches and call it a day.

Tank is surprised that there are fairy tales that Robin hasn't read, and she explains that there probably aren't any princesses in the story of Momotaro. Robin looks around for a clue and quickly spots someone, despite Tank telling her things aren't that easy, but Robin says when the Non-Playable Character (NPC) is obvious, you talk to them.

Robin and Tank approach the young woman around Robin's age and has the ears and tail of a dog, but she tells them that she is busy with a mission. Robin tries to get more information, but is called monkey-girl and turned away. Tank then offers their help to the young woman and she responds by telling him that sidekicks are useless. Robin and Tank are irritated by her attitude, briefly pondering whether or not she was the bad guy before ending up deciding to try again with the woman.

Tank inquiries about her mission, and she tells them that she is going to find Momotaro and help him defeat the demons. Tank is elated because that's what he and Robin want, but Robin is worried by what the girl means by 'demons'. The girl asks if Robin can fight, and Tank says that she can't, which is confirmed by Robin, so she asks the girl to teach her, but is turned down.

Robin and Tank follow her into a village, where she demands to know who knows Momotaro, threatening to turn the place upside-down. A couple of haughty men tell her to be quiet before she gets muzzled, and she comments that the rats come out after the trash can is kicked and demands to know where Momotaro is.

The men refuse, declaring that the money from collecting the Demon Price would be theirs. Now knowing their morals are as trashy as the men, the girl jumps forward and knocks them down with a well placed punch and kick.

    The men get back up and charge at Robin and Tank, and Tank deflects the sword they have long enough for the girl to knock them down again. Robin thanks the girl with a stutter, but she dismisses the praise and turns away, but as she does, Tank notices something very familiar in the inner pocket of the ragged jacket she was wearing.

Upon a closer look, Tank realizes she has a smaller version of Robin's book before it falls from the girl's jacket to the ground, revealing her to be another Prince Charming, to the shock of Tank and Robin.
