(Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)

Hello again, everyone. Sugata Eshiko at your service.

Important announcement before you read the final chapter of this Volume: The chapter "Multiply" has been updated to include a flashback sequence, as it appears to have a significant importance to Nymph's story (and because it was included in the ORIGINAL chapter).

(End of Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)


"Yo, Eshi-chan," said Makoto, "I wanna bathe in a hot spring."

"Makoto," said Sugata, "you already have your own—"

"No way, José! My hood's getting kinda boring. I wanna kick it someplace where there's—as Tomoko would say—'nothing but peace d quiet'. So, I say...we DIG IT UP! You game, Eshi-chan?"


"A hot spring?" asked Nymph at Tomoko's house.

"Yeah," said Makoto. "From what I heard, you're able to detect hot spring areas with your radar, right?"

"Well...yes...but I've been having some problems with my radar since I lost my wings, so—"

"Tsk, useless hunka junk," the Yakuza punk groaned. "Yo, Icarus, what about YOU?"

"Unfortunately, my radar is much WEAKER, but I can help you dig one."

"Okay, go blow up that mountain over there until it's gone." Makoto pointed to a nearby mountain.

"As you wish." Icarus prepared to launch. "Standb—"

"WAIT! ICARUS! STOP!" Sugata cried. "I don't think destroying a mountain will find us a hot spring, Makoto."

"*SIGH* Fine, let's find a shitty slave for us."


Within Sorami, a chibitized Tomoko fled for her life from Makoto.

*WHIP*

Makoto finally caught the teenage pervert girl by the neck.


Poor Tomoko was forced to do all the digging for Makoto and Sugata.

*THUD*

Unfortunately, Tomoko collapsed from exhaustion.

"Well, Eshi-chan," said Makoto, "guess we'll have to do all this by ourselves."


*STAB*

Sugata stabbed the ground with a pickaxe, hoping to find some water, while Makoto lazily observed from within the crevice. "Fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu…" he laughed.

"Is something funny, Makoto?" asked Sugata.

"You know, it's just the two of us on a mountain," said the Yakuza punk.

"Yeah, so?"

"Don't'cha remember? When we were little, we used to dig holes all the time."

"And by 'us', you mean 'me'? I'd do all the work, while you'd just watch as I...dug gold for you..."

"Ah, good times. And I was short on cash."

"...and oil..."

"Yeah, I the ministry of energy resources to kneel before me."

"...and fossils..."

"Why not? I had a research project to do."

"...landmines, gun powder, spaceships, aliens..." At that moment, Sugata stopped digging. "...You know what?" She handed the pickaxe to the Yakuza punk. "You want a hot spring, why don't YOU dig for one."

"...Okay," Makoto said as he took the pickaxe. "If you wanted help, all ya had to do was ASK, homie."

*STAB*

*SPLASH*


Later that night...

"Man, this hot spring's dope," Makoto said as he sat in the hot spring, completely naked. "Yo, Eshi-chan, why ya sittin' all alone? Come over here!"

"No thanks," said Sugata, who sat in the hot spring with her, facing away while covering her boobs. "You aren't even wearing a swimsuit."

"Why not? It's more fun to bathe naked." Makoto arose from the water to sit on a rock.

"You should do that to Tomoko instead."

"Hmm...I agree."


Meanwhile, in an uninhabited part of the forest, Tomoko was apparently no longer...alive...now, she is just a part of the Earth.

End of Volume 6
