It is the year 40XX in the Universal Era.
The story takes place on Jinmen planet which is quite far away in the universe.
This is a passionate tale about a human-faced dog and his troubled comrades.
"The false fortuneteller"
I am a passionate dog with a human face. I run a detective agency.
Many dogs visit my office to consult their trouble with me, and I give them advice for free.
There's no one coming today...
At the moment, I'm busy navigating through the Internet. I will be the king of pirates!
You dream so big...
I have something I want counsel on. Is Mr. passionate human-faced dog in?
That's me. You're an unfamiliar face.
You must be Ms. human-faced greyhound, I hear you tell accurate fortunes.
I am honored that you know me.
She's incredible, brother. She's so accurate with predictions.
Would you tell my brother's fortune?
- Then, do it for free. - Hey, that's rude of you to say that!
Well, I can't turn down a favor from the legendary NEET.
I'm not NEET! I'm a detective!
Well then. Let me give you your fortune.
This must be...you are...
You really care about your sister.
Impressive! That's true.
Oh my...
You are way too surprised!!
But...my fortunetelling is in fact a lie...
- What? - But what you said earlier is...
- I just said it at random. - Was it a lie?!
You're overreacting!
I didn't notice at all that it was a lie...
But is that perhaps the reason you came here?
Yes, I've been betraying all the dogs on this planet with my so-called fortunetelling.
But one day, I came to wonder... if I want to live a life full of lies.
This thought has been keeping me awake these days...
You have some points there... It's not a good thing to tell a lie.
What do you think she should do, brother?
Just keep on lying!!
What did you just say??
But we learn at school that we shouldn't lie to other people.
That's true. But your lies must have saved a lot of people, haven't they?
Yes, I think people who came to me were relieved of their worries a little.
Dogs cannot live only with reality and so sometimes they need to get away from it.
Despite having hard times at work or at school, we are saved by your fortunetelling.
You have shown them dreams and hope by telling lies.
So, if you feel guilty about it, keep on lying until you die.
By doing that, your lies will become the reality for the dog.
There is no lie or truth in reality.
You're right. I will continue my fortunetelling.
Yeah, I will continue to be a NEET, oops, a detective with all my might.
Let's do our best!
Brother...have you ever told a lie when giving advice?
Ha, that's what adults talk about. It's too early for you.
It's a white lie, isn't it?
To be continued!
