Publisher's Note Having been captured by an ogre, the only thing young Satsu could do was give him his lucky silver charm in exchange for his freedom, yet his puppy and the fox cub knew that Satsu would become very sick without his charm, so they had to find a way to get it back from the mean ogre.
