Nai the Ant's Great Adventure
Chapter One: The Worst Departure
This is the story of an ant named Nay, who, despite being an ant, carries the name Nay.
And here, it’s the Great Forest... but that's from the perspective of an ant.
To humans, it’s merely a large radish field.
And so, the worst adventure in history was about to begin.
Alright. Here is the money and the bag for shopping.
Listen carefully, Nay. Today, we're making miso soup for dinner, so buy vegetables, miso, and some tofu.
Mom, why don't you go yourself?
I don't have wings, so I have to walk all the way to the store.
What are you saying!? It's just nearby. And anyway, you're supposed to be a worker ant but you don't even work!
Ants are meant to work all their lives.
Tch!!
The shopping street was only ten meters away, but for Nay, a wingless worker ant, it felt like miles.
Ugh. This sucks. The store feels like it's a million miles away.
I regret being born an ant.
If only I had wings... But I'm a worker ant, so I don't.
Hey! Nay!!
Oh, it's just my classmate, Gil.
Worker ants sure have it tough without wings.
But Gil-sama is a black ant, so he can gracefully fly anywhere!
Work, work!!
Work for the rest of your life!!
Ugh!
Shut up!!
Whoa!!
Ptui!!
Ptui! Ptui!!
Hey, Nay. You've come a long way.
Grandpa, give me some vegetables.
You probably don't know this, but the miso shop and tofu shop have moved recently.
If I remember correctly, the tofu shop moved 30 meters away and the miso shop moved 50 meters away.
50 meters!?
You little brat!!
Whoa!!
Ngh
Ouch!! Gil, you didn't have to kick me.
Huh?!
hu...
It's a human!!!
???
Only Jii has ever seen my woolen pants... You peeked under my skirt, didn't you...
You pervert!!
I work hard but get no reward. I'd rather play games at home.
I've had enough of being a worker ant! That's it! I'm done!
Where am I!?
And so began the worst adventure in history. For an ant that cannot fly, crossing the river is akin to traveling the circumference of the Earth to get back home.
To be continued...
Huh?
