They're next stop was at the clothing store where Yuzuriha is.

"This is... Yuzuriha-chan~, we have a visitor. This is Cosmos-chan, the priest from the recent village we found."

The young crafts club president turned to Gen entering the door first, then to Cosmos who was curiously looking around. The face quality and style of his clothing made her eyes shine with idea. She approached him with a smile. "Cosmos-kun, may I borrow you for a moment?" She asked.

The young man blinked and nodded in confusion. Almost immediately, he was pulled in the dressing room, then got out wearing a white brocade hanfu with emphasized red edges, topped with another black robe embroidered with red spider Lily on both sides.

Unlike his priestly get up of pure white robes that made him innocent and approachable, the black and red combination made him in contrast. But still gorgeous. Like a little devil that needs cheek pinching.

"Aaahhh!!!" The journalist, Minami, wouldn't let this sight past her. Holding up her camera, she immediately took a photo of the newcomer.

"This girl here is our journalist, Minami-chan. She's a reporter." Gen introduced. "Come to think of it, you two are quite similar in terms of occupation."

"Hm?" The boy tilted his head with wonder.

"Reporters are like modern historians. They give out up to date news and all that."

"Ohh. I'll try my best too! To write the most interesting history."

"Haha, that's the determination."

Although people couldn't help but take a second glance over whenever he passed by together with a fully grown male lion, an adult gold python, a smaller white snake wrapped around his neck and an owl flying above him. The people couldn't help but widened their eyes in shock.

"That's it, that's the reaction we always get whenever Senku says something incredible." Gen sighed.

"Hmm?"

"I mean, it's quite unusual seeing a lion and a snake walking and crawling in harmony beside a human. Back in the day, there did indeed been people who can take care of lions and snakes separately. But then, you have a python, a tiger and an owl, all of them together without hurting each other is an eally-ray impossible task in my time."

Cosmos pointed to the lion beside him. "His name is Gallant. The first lion that I've befriended is his mother Lala. She was a sweet and beautiful creature. But unfortunately, she's met the span of her years." He explained. He then pointed to the golden spotted scaled snake. "This big eater over here is Shu. I met him in the swamp, swallowing an entire deer in one gulp. He just followed me for some reason." Then to the owl flying overhead.

"That's Ou, I met him when he was still a baby chick. His parents were eaten by Shu."

"That's twisted." Gen commented.

"Finally, this white snake with me is Pure. I found her slithering around alone, then she started landing around my feet." The white snake hissed around the youth's neck, then huddled back in the loose clothes.

Senku chuckled then Chrome woah-ed at him. "This is baaad. It's like you're Momotaro with a beast collection!"

"It does seems like it." Kohaku nodded in agreement.

Gen raised an eyebrow. "Momotaro? I'm hearing about the Momotaro who came from inside a giant a peach, right?" He asked.

"Momotaro used millet dumplings to befriend an alligator, a lion and gorilla." Chrome explained.
