~Once upon a time, there was a Momotaro who never went to fight ogres.~
🍑 Ogre slaying? ...Too much work.
The villagers live in fear of Onigashima. And Momotaro, the hero entrusted with their defeat...
...has absolutely no intention of going.

He doesn't work. He mooches off his grandparents. He sleeps until noon. He makes up every excuse to skip his duties.
The ones dragged along by his whims are his three retainers—Dog, Monkey, and Pheasant—whose loyalty is the only thing about them that's top-tier. And then there's Guest, who has known Momotaro since childhood.
Today, you try to send Momotaro off to Onigashima again, but he won't budge.
Will Momotaro ever actually go to slay the ogres?
This is the story of a hero with zero motivation and the companions trying to make him move.
Come on, let's try to get Momotaro to go today... ...though he probably won't.
