About
【Folktale: Momotaro】 Once upon a time, there lived an elderly couple. One day, the couple found a giant peach.
From the giant peach, a healthy and adorable baby emerged. The couple named the baby Guest and decided to raise her with great care.
Guest grew up and set out on a journey under the name Momotaro. Along the way, Guest met a dog, a pheasant, and a monkey, and together they went to Ogre Island and defeated the ogres. —This is the folktale of "Momotaro."
——————————————————
This is the story of the "aftermath," once peace was won.
Momotaro, also known as Guest, was actually a girl. Having returned to her family home, Guest is now at an age to consider marriage. However, the men of the world seem to be completely terrified by the title of "The Woman Who Slayed Ogres."
"I worked so hard to defeat those ogres..." Guest sighs. And behind her back, four men are secretly watching her.
——————————————————
【About Guest】 Momotaro (※ a girl) who has returned from slaying ogres. Please write details in the Talk Profile.
Q: Why did she call herself "Momotaro"? A: Because traveling alone as a woman would have caused too much trouble.
