Character Guide Volume 4


Characters listed in order of appearance.
(PC == Prime Characteristics.)

Pseudo-Mink

After finding the secret to removing the Minik Cross Sword from the stone, Mink, Rufa, Mappy, and Pia continue on their journey, with Mink carrying the sword. Deidre has charged Bufu, Jiisanz, and Merami with killing Mink. As this is happening, Rufa pulls out a Mink costume and puts it on. Now looking like Mink, Rufa runs around terrorizing people and putting the blame elsewhere. Until, two bounty-hunting mummies come across the pseudo-Mink, and beat the hell out of her. The real Mink saves Rufa, who remorsefully throws the costume off a cliff. Where it is found, and worn, by a fat gorilla.

Magical Yone

As Merami (acting as group leader) loses a full day because Jiisanz can't decide what to wear for killing a dragon-half, Mink and party run across an old hag that tells them their fortunes. That evening, she reappears as they sleep. Whipping off her cloak, we now see an old hag wearing a young girl's school uniform, and holding a candy wand with a heart on the end of it (Looks suspiciously like a dildo.) Magical Yone is obviously a parody of all those little girl fantasy stories, like Minky Momo, and Sailor Moon. Yone can enter people's dreams and turn them into nightmares. Rufa's dream, that of her being dressed as a sex-queen and surrounded by eager young studs, is easily corrupted as Yone turns all the studs into fat sumo wrestlers. However, Yone runs into trouble when she tries to poison Mink's dream of quietly feeding rabbits. Yone appears as Saucer, and attempts to assault Mink, but runs out of dream sand at the wrong time. Mink, trying to help the dream-Saucer, instead can not control her strength and just ends up beating the crap out of Yone. Yone escapes, but quickly passes out. Mink and Rufa wake up, tired from a poor sleep, but pretend to be completely alert, rather than explain what the problem is. Yone does not appear again.




By page 53, Jiisanz has finally awoken (Merami kicked her in the head to get her up, and Jiisanz cried so hard that she flooded the valley that the castle resides in. The bad three meet the good three, and Jiisanz is shown to be a very dirty fighter (think of a Valley Girl with a chainsaw.) Jiisanz angers Mink, and slides Bufu in the way, hoping that the force of Mink's punch would cause Bufu to create such a strong rebound that Mink would be bounced into the next country. Instead, Bufu falls over, dead to the world. Disappointed that her plan failed, Jiisanz cries a river that floods the valley. She runs back into the cave that Merami is standing in, and is followed by Mink.

Kubis Salamander

Merami creates this little salamander, and then starts a strip tease. Turns out this Kubis is a "sukebe" salamander, and turns into a monster rapist when aroused. But, Jiisanz wants to join in, and when she can't, cries a river that saves Mink, but dumps her, Jiisanz, and Merami into Deidre's throne room. The salamander is not seen again.




We finally get to see Deidre completely for the first time at page 68. She looks like Vena will in 10 years, but in a Vamperella dress, and with dragon-bone shoulder pads. She is a VERY powerful necromancer and general magic-user that is responsible for the destruction of the surrounding countryside, and the presence of all those zombies. But, she easily succumbs to Mink's strength, and the Minik Cross Sword. Jiisanz hits Mink on the back of the head, and Deidre uses a nearby rock formation to create tendrils that nearly choke Mink to death. As she fades, Mink recalls her dance with Saucer (as Lora,) and recovers enough to break the rock and beat the hell out of Deidre.

Deidre now reveals the secret of the two items Mink received from the Dancing King -- combined, they turn into the Vido Potion. Deidre also describes her life as Azatodeth's lover so many years ago; all of the playful romping, death, and all-around suffering they'd so youthfully inflicted on the innocent and helpless. Then we find out that the potion is not the one Mink wants.

Deidre creates a feast for both sides, and they cheerfully chow down as Mig finally makes his appearance (he'd broken through 642 of the wrong walls -- into other people's rooms -- before finally getting it right.) But nobody notices. So, he busts up the party, and Deidre attacks him in return. Mig easily wins, and casts a pain spell on Deidre, Rufa, and Mink. But is horrified to find out that Rufa is begging for more. Mig ultimately collapses the mountain they are under. Mink saves everyone, but Rufa isn't helping her.

That's when Mana and Rouce appear; Mana in dragon form. Rouce tries to seduce Deidre, and Mana beats him up. Rufa's father, and Pia's parents arrive, and nobody notices Mig defeat Mana. At the last moment, Mink trips while trying to bodyslam Mig, and rips his pants off. That's when we finally get to see Kuma-san. Mig runs off in tears, and beats up on Dug.

The parents want their children to stop their solo effort of trying to destroy the most powerful evil creature ever (except for Rouce, who only cares about getting laid with Deidre.) Shimon Delamonte arrives to kill Deidre with the Cross Sword, but falls in love with her immediately, and she with him. The two lovers return to Shimon's castle, and the dying valley suddenly springs back to life (shows how strong Deidre is, and what the power of true love can do.)

By page 117, the parents and their children are reunited, and Rouce is burying his face in Mink's butt. This is when Perfect Princess Vena makes her big appearance, accompanied by Siva and Rozario. An android playboy bunny takes Rouce and Mana out of the action. A giant tree takes Link to up to where he succumbs to a fear of heights, and Vena decides to attack Mink directly using her new super armor (the armor makes her 4 times faster, 24 times stronger, and 18 times more magically powerful.) As she attacks, Mig and Rogue are watching the battle on a monitor in their cave. Mig tells Rogue that Mink is a Kaiser Dragon Half. Rogue replies that although a normal dragon half is 8 times stronger than a normal person, Mink is 300 times stronger, and growing fast. Rosario uses his R (for Rosario) radar to see through matter to find Mink, but suffers a hentai attack at seeing Mink nude. Siva has a tonic on his head that reflects the sun's light, amplified lots of times, but then realizes that the sun is hidden by clouds.

Vena reveals her secret weapon -- she trapped Dick Saucer in her armor, and anything that happens to her, happens to him instead. Mink tries kicking Vena in the crotch, which only causes Saucer to scream that he hates Mink. Mink curls up in a ball out of remorse, and Vena tries to shoot her with a plasma beam. Which is reflected by Siva's reflective head, and destroys the Saucer armor. Furiously, Mink beats Vena up, and she is next seen reverted back to a slime, beating up on her father.

Page 135: Vena turns herself back to a human, and summons a powerful demon to destroy Mink -- and gets Mig as he is bedding down with his Kuma teddy bear, and kuma-san underwear. Using the photo that she quickly takes as blackmail material, Vena gets Mig to agree to attack Mink again. Mig is so upset at this situation that he beats up on his little brother, who is still tied up.

Meatball monsters

This is when these two balls with silly faces and tentacle arms appear and drain Mink and Mana of their energy. Mana isn't affected as much, but does get overwhelmed by sheer numbers as more meatballs show up. The main characteristic for these guys is that they are very polite, and when one talks, the others echo the first.

Rouce

Rouce He is very lazy, and lecherous. But once, he was an ok swordsman. Note, when his daughter and wife recover consciousness, Rouce is still "sick" in bed. But every one of the meatball horde has a large "R" on it's belly. He has the three L's down -- Lazy, Lecherous, and Loyal.




At the end, Mana has taken the group to the city of dragons, which has become a little rundown since she was last there. The main dragon looks at the potion Mink got, but before things can go too far, Mig shows up and destroys the rest of the city (Vena is still blackmailing him with that photo.) Then, before Mig can really start fighting Mink, The Great Demon Lord Azatodeth appears...

End of Volume 4.


Except for the little joke story as an added feature:

High School Detective Mink

Vena and Mink are two high school girls acting as detectives to determine who killed their teacher, Dama Ramu Sensei. A clue is provided but no one can understand what it means. Dama Ramu Sensei was killed by a swordstroke from behind.

The detectives are:

The suspects are:

Vena states that the killer is in the room (ie. -- is one of the above suspects,) and Mink claims that the clue proves who the killer is.

The text in the margins of the book states that the killer will be revealed in volume 5, expected out in 1993.
