“

People often say that prostitution is the world's oldest profession. Well, that's what I learned in history class at least. (For those who don't know what "prostitution" is, ask your father.)
But is it really the oldest profession? I found an even older one! I can't prove it, but I bet it goes away back! That profession is the storyteller who tells scary stories. (To be continued in Volume 17.)

“

人類最古の職業といえば「売春婦」というモノが、そのNO.1の栄誉に輝く。歴史の授業でそう言っていた。（どんな仕事か、わからない人は、お父さんに聞くといいです。）

本当にそれより古い職業はないのか？　あった！　証明しろ！と言われたら「できません」とあやまるけど、きっと古いぞッ！　それは恐怖の物語を聞かせてくれる「語りべ」である。（17巻に続く）
