CHAPTER 3: TheSuperSneaky SandwichAssassin!
So you're saying... We're in your book.
No. No it's not.
This is the plot of my book...
The Demon Kingdom defeated the Dragon Kingdom.
Their King was mean and selfish.
(Though he was just misunderstood, that's the twist.)
But the Demon Kingdom had a problem.
So they hired two Dragon Kingdom assassins.
The assassins killed the innocent King. Why is your book so sad, Kaoru? Everyone dies!
Then they were killed by their organisation to keep it a secret.
So... who are the assassins?
Oh no.
Unless we change the ending, we're going to die!
US.
What can we do?
Stop talking!
It's time for your briefing.
I'm not-
We'll think of a plan later!
Let's go!
Understood?
Why do you think we're in the castle dungeon?!
SHINZOU?
What's going on?
No clue.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Very well, then.
Oh. You finally bothered to show up.
Could've knocked.
Anyway... What now?
I'm so bored.
My phone died.
THAT'S what you're worried about?
We're here to KILLYOU!
Oh...
So you're the assassins. You
Yeah. And? knew?
According to the book, assassins should be coming to kill us too.
Then let's get ready to fight!
Ready to die?
We can't. We need to change the plot... Plot? Later.
For now, we have to try!
Let's do this.
Anyone have a weapon? Okay... Hello!

He'sso weird.
Longago...
ThatdayIVOWEDnever tosharemystorieswith anyoneeveragain.
What an awful story!
not to mention your atrocious writing...
Wait, that's it!
If only I could change everything... My book and pen?
I can write a new ending!
I have to finish this story!
"Sandypinnedherenemy tothewalleasily"
Time for my ultimate move!
I'm concerned.
...Me too.
WHATISTHAT?!
Idon'tevenknow what'shappening.
What have you done?!
Stopit!!
Shinzou's spell has already defeated them all!
We did it! We fixed the ending!
YAY!
You're the one who made it bad- We did it!
No offence,
but the original ending was awful.
Has no-one told you that?
Nobody has read it before. I've never really had friends to share it with.
I would have liked it.
No! It's fine. I like writing books anyway.
Oh. That's so-
If it wasn't so depressing.
I just wish other people would like them too...
I only meant that the ending was awful for the characters. I would have liked it if I hadn't been one of them.
I HAVE AN IDEA!
No! It's a good idea!
Is it to do with sandwiches?
Why don't we read Kaoru's book for him?
Let's do it! Actually, that's not bad.
Thank you, but it's OK.
But I want to! Really? Yep!
You don't have to.
Can we go now?
This world was cool and all but... I want sandwiches!
Then I'll write it.
Kaoru writes books in secret. One Thursday, during his part-time job, he gets a chance to finish his latest story. However, it turns into a vicious monster which traps him, his grumpy co-worker Shinzou and energetic café regular Sandy into the world he created!
A story of book monsters, demons and sandwiches!
