Fufufu... Oh, hello. Almost didn't notice you there. That's right, it's Yoko-chan the Invincible! I'm not the same helpless girl you've known until now. I'm a big deal, see! But since we're old friends, I won't just forget about you! Yoko-chan is kind!

Eh? What am I eating? Eh... I'm not really sure. It's meaty, and it has a crispy crunchy crunch to it. But! But! It came from a restaurant and it tastes way better than anything else I've eaten since I got here! Yoko-chan gives it an A+! An A+++!

Eh? That's not what you wanted to know? Why am I eating from the trash? Well... money doesn't grow from trees! I'm only just starting on my journey to greatness! And besides, they just threw this out, so it's still warm and fresh enough! It's not stealing because they threw it away! This is one of Yoko-chan's hot tips for dining out on a budget!

...

Please don't look at me like that.

Ehem... Story time, story time! I'm sure you're wondering how I got here and why I'm so confident now, eh? Yes, of course you are! You don't want to know about anything else! Stop asking!

You remember the cart I was in? The one I fell in when I was trying to get away from Blue Bone Face? Well, it ended up being a really long ride! It went like this and that and then at one point it was really bumpy and one of the bags that were stacked up fell on me and then we were really deep in the city! There were so many people everywhere and everyone was in a huge hurry! It reminded me of home, except that most people were weird monster demon things. Anyway, I was leaning out of the back of the cart so I could try to see if I could find a doctor's office to help me. I ended up getting kinda distracted from all of the pretty lights and buildings and I leaned too far and... Yeah, I fell out when the cart made a turn.

It hurt too! I fell on my face and got a bloody nose. So, like, I remembered that I was looking for a doctor again and tried to get up off of the dirty road. But my foot was still really really hurting and I couldn't stand on it without crying. Then I tried to make a cane out of paper, but that obviously wasn't going to work. I was just desperate and only ended up getting a lot of paper cuts on my hands. It made this gross stuff come out, so I had to wrap my hands in paper again. Once again, Yoko-chan's greatest ally is her magic paper.

Eh... So, I tried to hop around on one foot, but that definitely didn't work. I couldn't even hop once without losing my balance and falling into someone. Then they fell over and knocked into someone else and then they did too and...

Long story short, I had to use walls to keep myself up and then crawled when I didn't have one nearby. It was gross having to crawl across the dirty street! And dangerous! I almost got ran over! And I still didn't know where a doctor was or even what a doctor's office looks like here. What if it's crazy looking? What if I had passed like ten of them in a row without realizing it? What if I was next to one right now!?

I couldn't take that risk, so I went into the building I was leaning against to see what was inside! And I can confidently report that it was not a doctor's office! It was a teahouse kinda place. Not a single doctor in sight!

Unless...

I had a big important thought. "Does Yoko-chan really know what demon doctors look like? What if Yoko-chan walks away without checking and this is just how things are here?" So obviously I had to go check, you know? I tried to crawl over to the maybe receptionist desk, but then the doors to the place went ka-pow! A really big and fat man that looked like he would laugh like gyahaha came in with a bunch of other scary looking people. They started being really loud and pushy and basically ruined the whole calm feeling the place had. And he did laugh like gyahaha! The staff tried to tell him to leave, but then he started breaking stuff and being even meaner!

But then I saw the most incredible thing! Another big guy came out from the back and he told them to leave and they were like or what and then-! And then the good big guy lifted up his hand and it went BWOAM and it made one of the bad big guy's mean friends fly away and crash into the wall!

I was surprised! Super surprised! It got even crazier too! Because the bad guys started doing stuff like that too! One of them even pulled out a club and it started to glow and went VWOHM!

I knew the people here weren't like they were back home, but there's people with super powers here too!? People have super powers!

I can't really remember what happened after that because I was a little lost in my own thoughts and kept looking at all the cool super powers they were using.

But I do remember the end. Yoko-chan wishes she could forget. She saw that scary man again. The one from before. The one that... The one that killed Mr. Tsukuda. Mr. Scary Tall Guy. I don't know when he got there, but...

He started stabbing and cutting people and- He didn't look like he was on anybody's side because he attacked whoever was close and...

Eh... Well... Yoko-chan fainted. I'm actually pretty glad I did. I really didn't want to watch all of that.

But when I woke up, it was... quiet. No screaming, no fighting... All there was was... Eh... Let's say tomato soup. It was everywhere, even on me!

I really didn't want to be there at all. Crying over a hurt foot was suddenly didn't sound that bad! I got up and limped out of there as quickly as I could! Just as I was about to get out, the doors swung open again and I got knocked over and fell into a plant. It just was not Yoko-chan's day...

And when I looked up, I saw a little girl running into the building. A little girl! Running towards where Mr. Scary Tall Guy was! Why weren't you at school, little girl!? No, she must have been excused for a doctor's appointment! I couldn't let her go in there. I got up and tried to stop her, but I couldn't keep my balance after everything that has been going on. I fell back and out of the door onto the sidewalk. It knocked the breath out of me and I couldn't even stand.

Things were so very bad for Yoko-chan, but they were going to be even worse for that little girl! I kept trying to get up again and again, but Yoko-chan is weak... I remember I cried a lot and I was holding out my arm towards the way the little girl went and wishing that I could just make Mr. Scary Tall Guy go away...

And then! And then!

A krackowbaboom!

Mr. Scary Tall Guy! He flew up out of the roof! And then came down! And BRACKAAOOW! He landed on one of the streetside stands! Yoko-chan couldn't believe her eyes. How could someone like Mr. Scary Tall Guy be sent flying into the air like a cartoon? There wasn't a secret strong guy in there, was there? I think I would have saw them at least once.

But what if...? I had a crazy idea. What if that was because of Yoko-chan's wish? Maybe... Maybe Yoko-chan had a super secret super power too? But how? Just because she made a wish? Then I remembered! The buggy bites! What if the buggies were super power buggies and she got powers because they bit her like that one guy? It's the only answer that makes sense! Yoko-chan did it, she saved the little girl!

Then I saw the little girl run back outside and past me, and Mr. Scary Tall Guy had stood up again. She said something I couldn't hear that well because I was too focused on my new super powers, and then she started running at him for some reason!? I closed my eyes hard and pointed at Mr. Scary Tall Guy again to try to make him go away... I almost couldn't get myself to look.

I peeked open my eyes and... Mr. Scary Tall Guy was gone. All that was left was a cloud of smoke.

Yoko-chan... had defeated him!

Yoko-chan has the power to make things go kaboom! She made Mr. Scary Tall Guy go kaboom! She had saved the little girl again! Yoko-chan was a hero! A savior!

Mr. Tsukuda... are you watching from heaven? Yoko-chan... has avenged you... Please rest in peace.

...

Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to cry again. That's where the story ends, with a bittersweet ending. Yoko-chan saved the little girl and blew up the bad guy, but I feel bad for all of those people that died.

After that, I was so tired and hungry that I decided that I needed a meal to recover my strength. That's why I'm here! So, you see? Things are looking up for Yoko-chan! I'm no longer the weak innocent girl you once knew. I'm a superhero! Hehe, if you make fun of me any more, I might make you go kaboom too!

Not really, not really. I won't do that, pinky promise. Ow. Ow ow ow. My pinky still really hurts from the buggy bites and the paper-

Ah! I forgot to find a doctor!

Eh... Okay, after my meal and a nap I'll definitely go find a doctor! I'm feeling kind of woozy after everything...

Euch! Ow! Owowowowow! My tooth! Owwwww! I bit into a really hard something and I think it cracked my tooth! Owwww...

Do you think doctors here... can fix teeth too? Ow...
