[honestmana]

She has no idea where she is —or a little of what— for a short moment. She’s outside but she was supposed to be in the castle————

Then she knows that she made a bad thing —— “Nue-san Mana is sorryyyy!” —— she trips and rolls right into a lamp post. She sniffs but she’s felt worse pain even if she didn’t like it. “Mana should have listened to Nue-saaan!”

She clutches to the lamp post and sniffs. She needs to find Nue-san and apologize—! She wasn’t supposed to leave the castle. . .

She doesn’t notice that she was clinging desperately to something she doesn’t have a clue about what it is, nor that she doesn’t recognize how different it is from the Japan that she is familiar with.

Well, if yer pure o' heart, sure?

[honestmana]

Nue-san says Mana is, but Mana doesn’t really know what that means!

[ Likely one with the most pure heart. ]

[theheroguy]

[And Goku'll jump off the cloud and let it hover before her.]

Give it a shot then!

[honestmana]

[ She stares for a while. ]

How does Mana get uuup?

[theheroguy]

Huh? Y'need help gettin' up?

[honestmana]

If iiiit, wouldn’t be much troubleee?

[theheroguy]

[And so, he'll pick her up and drop her on top of the cloud.]

[honestmana]

[ She lets out a little squeak, and blinks several times. Then, she whoops. ]

This is amaaaazing!

[theheroguy]

Pretty cool, huh? I don't use him all that much these days since I can fly on my own, but he was really handy back when I was a kid!

[honestmana]

[She nods-nods-and-nods. ]

You can fly toooooo?

[ That's also amazing! ]

[theheroguy]

Yeah. It's a relatively basic ki-control technique, but it takes some getting used to at first.

[honestmana]

[ Smile. Headtilt. ]

What's ki-controool?

[theheroguy]

It's the ability to control your ki.

[... Wow Goku, really informative.]

[honestmana]

[ She just continues looking confused. ]

[theheroguy]

... Uh, like this?

[And suddenly, a ball of light will form within one of Goku's hands.]

[honestmana]

[ woah! ]

That's amaziiing!

[ She flails excitedly. ]

[theheroguy]

Yeah, it is, huh?

[honestmana]

Yeeees! Mana can't do anything like it at aaaall!

[theheroguy]

Well, that's 'cause I'm a martial artist trained in the Kamesen-ryuu.

[honestmana]

That's amazing!

[ And she doesn't get it! ]

[theheroguy]

Yeah. Well, I've been trainin' ever since I could walk.

[honestmana]

Mana has been taking care of fields since Mana could walk!

[theheroguy]

Fields, huh? Back when I was trainin' with the ol' Turtle Hermit, I had to plow a buncha fields.

[... By hand, without any kind of tools or anything.]

[honestmana]

Oooh~

Mana lost Mana's fields though, because people needed them, so Mana gave it to them.

[ And her house. ]

[theheroguy]

Oh? Well, that sucks, I guess. Doesn't matter too much now you're dead though.
