The Piggy-Back Demon

Seeking babysitter.

Pays three square meals a day.

As well as a daily
stipend of 5 copper coins.

Interested parties should come to
the headman's house in the village.

This village is
surprisingly well off.

What, big brother?

It seems so.

In harsh times like these,

they can feed a mere babysitter
well and pay them 5 copper!

I don't understand this world.

But this is like telling every thief
and extortionist they have money!

I think I'll apply for
the babysitting job!

Big brother!

I'll be a babysitter!

Don't, Dororo.

My mind's made up. I shan't
listen to anyone's opinions now.

Like you already said, the
offer is too good to be true.

And, in this village...

What about the village?

I can eat well and get paid!
What's there to complain about?

Well, you'll see soon enough.

Do as you please.

So long, big brother! I shall
go on ahead!

I wouldn't want anyone to
beat me to my meal ticket!

Nota, come along!

They won't know
what I'm plotting!

This is the headman's
house, is it?

Here goes!

Hey! It's a babysitter!

Hey! We've got
another babysitter here!

Hey! There's a babysitter here!

Hey, everyone! We
have a babysitter!

He says there's a babysitter.

What? A babysitter came?

A babysitter is here!

A babysitter has come!

That Dororo...

Looks like they're
happy to see him.

But what is this demonic
aura hanging in the air?

This is the place.

Where the monsters
covering the town came from.

What is this?

This is a monster's nest!

Crud!

I'm not used to sitting this way.
How long do I have to wait like this?

Ah, pardon us.

Please, lift those
hands from the floor.

Well, with this many
adults bowing to me,

I can't very well
do nothing in return.

Now, now, don't say that.

The villagers tell me you'll
take the babysitting job,

so we've gathered
here to pay our respects.

Isn't that right, everyone?

Yes, it's just as the
headman says, right men?

It's a big help.
Thank you so much.

Seriously, you're a lifesaver!

We're in your care.

Stop it. I'm just a babysitter.
You're blowing this out of proportion.

Now then, girls, bring it in.

Yes, sir!

I can eat all of this?

Go on, no need to hold back.

Eat until you're full.

Well, if the man's
telling me to eat!

Okay!

Is something the matter?

Why are you doing so
much for a lowly babysitter?

No, no, there's nothing to it.

Isn't that right, everyone?

Yes, there's nothing
special about it. It's true.

Really?

It's true, really.

Boys shouldn't be so
picky about the details.

Well, not that it matters to me.

And what would matter to you?

Oh, no, forget I said that!

First thing's first, I want to be
paid up front. Gimme my money.

Why, certainly.

15 copper. That's three
days paid in advance.

I like a man who
knows how to pay.

So, when should I start
looking after the boy?

Tomorrow will be fine.

Please, get a good
night's rest tonight.

This one understands!

Looks like everyone's asleep.

Well now, time to get to it.

Maybe I've got a bit too much.
But it's better than too little.

Curse it!

Now, heave.

Thanks!

H-Heh, I was practising
carrying the boy on my back.

Go to sleep. Oh, go to sleep.

You are a good boy.

Don't just suddenly let go!

What? You were all there?

I just love
babysitting, you see.

If you're so eager, I'll have
you start tonight, not tomorrow.

No, no! No need for that!
Tomorrow! I'll start tomorrow!

- Come on! Get going!
- Stop! What are you doing?!

Stop it! Let's wait
until tomorrow!

- Pipe down, you brat!
- Ow, that hurts!

What do you think you're doing?

I was hired as a babysitter!

There's no reason I should
be tied to a Jizo statue!

This isn't what I signed up for!

Oh, but it is.

The one you'll
babysit is this Jizo.

Stop treating me like a fool!

As if any Jizo in this world
would need a babysitter!

Ah, but there is one.

This Jizo is known
as the Piggy-back Jizo.

If no one looks
after it, it gets angry.

It will tear up the
fields and curse people.

That's a lie! No Jizo
would ever do that!

You're free to believe
or not to believe.

But we've paid and fed you well.

Now we want you to babysit him.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Now, everyone,
let's be on our way.

Hey! Untie me cursed it!

You clod! You swindler!
You stupid head!

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention.
Don't forget to sing him a lullaby.

Jizo is more fond of
lullabies than you might think.

You crummy old man! You
stupid doddering old fool!

I hope you die, you hogetara!

I'm lucky the demon wasn't here.

Its nest has enough demonic
power to catch prey on its own.

Now then, let's see how
I can escape from here.

What's that?

Looks like a way
out of this hole.

Okay!

You idiot!

Untie my ropes!

Away with you, old man!

Nota! Come chew
through my ropes!

Nota! Big brother! Come for me!

Curse that crazy old man!

Like some Jizo statue
would ever need a babysitter!

And he says it loves
lullabies on top of that, no less!

Hah! What a joke!

Sing me a lullaby, would you?

Did the Jizo say something?

Tch, yeah, I just imagined it.

Looks like I'm
starting to lose it too!

No way could a Jizo talk to me.

Sing for me.

Hurry up and sing me a lullaby.

The Jizo talked to me!

Save me!

It's a monster!

Someone come for me!

Hurry up and sing me a lullaby.

Somebody come save me!

Big brother! Nota!

Save--

It's strangling me!

I-I-It hurts!

Dororo, was it?

If you won't sing me a
lullaby, I'll strangle you to death.

I get it! I get it! I'll sing!
I'll sing! Just let go!

Well, get to it.

Go to sleep.

Oh, go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Oh, go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Oh, go to sleep!

Dororo, what's the
matter? Keep singing.

Are you playing me for a fool?

How many dozen times have
I sung that song for you now?

My throat's raw.

Give me a rest
from the singing now.

That right? Then I'll ask
for something else instead.

Sure, anything but more singing.

Really, now? You're a nice one.

Well, then here goes.

I've been standing here a long
time and I'm tired of the place.

I'll bet you are. So,
what do you want?

So...

What? Come on,
out with it already.

l want you to give me a piggy-back
ride and take me for a walk.

Oh, is that all?

Say what?!

Don't be silly! You think I can walk
with a stone Jizo like you on my back?

- You don't want to, Dororo?
- Heck no!

Well, if you don't want
to, you don't have to like it.

No! No! No way, not at all!

Okay! I'll carry you on
my back and take you for a walk!

You will, will you? Well, if we're going,
it might as well be to another village.

You're such a nice child.

Ah! A light!

What is this place?

This hole was
plugged by something.

And there's this demonic aura.

There was a demon here
until just moments ago!

Big brother... Where have you gone?

What's with that boy?

He's carrying a Jizo statue.

Everyone come here!
There's a weird child!

Why are you carrying
around a Jizo?

I'm glad you asked!

- The thing is...
- Dororo.

Dororo, sing me a
lullaby right away.

And I mean right away.

Right here?

And right away?

Hey, he's talking to the Jizo.

Is he off in the head?

Right away, Dororo.

In the loudest voice you can.

Okay, I'll do it.

What're you mumbling about?

- Go to sleep!
- Don't scare me.

Oh, go to sleep!

He's singing a
lullaby for the Jizo!

Go to sleep.

You're crazy! Absolutely crazy!

What the heck?! I'm not crazy!

You've got it wrong!

I'm not insane!

I'm so hungry I'm about to drop.

Hey, it's a tea
shop. I can eat there.

Welcome.

Dororo, sing me a lullaby.

Can't you just let me eat?

Asking your Jizo for permission?
Well, that's just fine with me.

So, what's does your Jizo say?

Go to sleep! Go to sleep!

You little brat!
Making fun of adults!

Go to sleep. Go to--

Go on, scram you
insane little brat!

I'll beat you black and blue!

Out with you! Out!

Big brother...

Big brother!

Go to sleep.

Oh, go to sleep.

Dororo, your voice is too quiet.

My throat is all dry.

I'm so sleepy... I
can't keep this up.

Let me stop now.

Fine, you may sleep.

Now, I will sing
a lullaby for you.

Go to sleep.

Oh, go to sleep.

Go...

Hold, demon!

Vile demon, this
is the end for you!

Go to sleep...

It looks like the piggy-back
demon tormented him.

My back...! My back...!

Th-This is...

This feeling of relaxation...

This feeling of strength
in my shoulders...

I see. I must have
grown a backbone.

My backbone has grown in!

Dororo, you awake now?

Big brother!

I took care of him
while you were asleep.

You clod! You made
me suffer for too long!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!

Big brother, why are you
standing the Jizo back up?

If I leave it like this,

the villagers will think it's still demon
possessed and look for a sitter.

I see.

Then the villagers will keep paying
out three meals and 5 copper a day.

Well, Dororo, I'd say
it's time we hit the road.

So, in next week's story,

while I rested in the
woods with my brother, Hyakkimaru,

a bizarre couple passed by us.

Big brother thought it seemed like
the wife was probably a demon,

but I just couldn't imagine
such a pretty lady being one.

I was more scared of her husband
who kept swinging his sword.

But, here's the matter,

Big brother decided we would
stay at that couple's house.

Then, suddenly, that night...

Well, you'll have to find out the rest on
next week's Dororo and Hyakkimaru.

Bye!
