These "vitamins" of yours? haha... well, in any case, they seem to be doing you good, don't they---- [Yuuji:]and it's a really easy way to make money on the side too hahaa [Kyouko:]The doctor's pressured you into that experiment, didn't they?

It's because this village has only men that there can't be any children!! 046 [Minato:]I'll be at the shrine!! [guy:]Minato, we made stew, if you'd like some come in, come in [guy:]What happened? Did you awaken in Tokyo? Even if he hasn't awakened we shouldn't expect too much from him at his age 047 [Minato:]I travelled to Tokyo for the first time and saw human society with my own eyes And I can tell you firsthand that humans are the most dangerous and foul creatures on this earth!! I'm sorry to say it but, I actually lived among them!! [priest:]Well spoken, Minato Of course you speak the truth. We are the chosen, the kindred who have inherited the true blood through generations 048 [priest:]From long ago humans have been our sworn enemy and if not for the strict commandments and laws of this village, they would long ago have driven us to extinction. 049 [priest:]often their species has evolved and invaded our lands, driving us to the brink in nearly every age... from now on it looks as though we have fewer alternatives than to join our bloodlines but------ there is one----- the birth of a female child, without defect or deformity---- 050 [Minato:]Of course, that's why I brought the female to breed with [sfx:]glugglug [priest:]But only one in 10 children is female [Jin:]And that female you brought is kind of suspicious [Priest:]Jin [Jin:]The female seems totally unaware of our lineage, and how many times have we searched the North and the South for any females? I know the scent is female but is it possible that it's been altered by bio-technology [guy:]I guess... that's true, isn't it... [other guy:]maybe our senses are getting muddy [Minato:]BUT HEY 051 [Minato:]You guys are all males, can't you understand my urge to mate?! Can't you?? I want to!! [guys:]us too [Minato:]I have to!! [text:]I REALLY WANT TO I REALLY REALLY WANT TO!! [Minato:]Ogacha!! Please prepare the ceremony!! We can talk about it forever but you really care about the blood of this race continuing, don't you!! 052 [Priest:]..... we will do what's necessary You will have your mate [Jin:]Ogacha... [Minato:]YES!! Leave the proliferation of the race to me!! [Jin:]Minato, what are you thinking?! Do you know what will happen if you defile the bloodline?! [Minato:]Would it be better is we all turned gay? huh? Idiot you'd probably like that, wouldn't you Jin? 053 [Minato:]Think you can survive on nothing but meat? [guy:]Have we even got a tub or anything for a purification ceremony anymore? [other guy:]What the hell?! He's only 17 and he gets to hold a woman!! [other guy:]It's always the young ones in the village who get their turn 054 [no text]
