Did you know there's a museum not far from this base? You can see quite a few treasures on display. I went back for the first time in a long time. Imagine my surprise when I realized one of those treasures was missing...

It doesn't matter if it's a grave, a shrine, or the emperor's treasure chest... thieves will really steal from any place, huh? I wonder what else is lost in this world...

Ah, well, where ever I am, I'm sure I'll be surprised.

( Suddenly he's talking about himself? For those who know him, it makes perfect sense. )

Anyway, what treasures are in your world? If you can tell me a good story, I might give you a surprise.

Loud and boisterous heroes...?
Well, there's Kintaro.

He was raised in the mountains by a mountain witch. Even when he was a baby, he was strong and boisterous. He only wore a cloth that had the character "kin" for gold and his only other possession was an axe. His only friends were animals in the forest so he learned to speak their language. With his friends, he would smash boulders and uproot entire trees. He fought monsters, beat up oni, and challenged bears to sumo wrestling.

Despite his great strength, he was kind to everyone he met. He often helped the local woodcutters take down trees and cleared paths to the local villages. He was so great, he became the retainer of a famous samurai.

He's one of the greatest heroes in Japan! Every child knows his story.

( And maybe this all sounds like a fairytale because it is. )

Unless...
You want to know about someone else?

( Like a more historical figure? )
