Hey Moonspeaker, if you are searching for something, there's half of Pageratta's "Oekakist" series that were left untranslated. I've placed it in the translation request thread, but no one seemed to be interested (probably because of the size of his usual strips). If you are interested in Pageratta's works, do take a look at those. :)
Once upon a time, in a certain place...One day, the scientist happened to create a chimera.Again, the chimera asked: "Yes, I suppose so."...and cried alone on the shore of a lake.Then the chimera suddenly sensed a presence.It looked and saw a human girl nearby.When the girl noticed it..."No. Even if I wished to run from you, it would be useless."The chimera looked carefully and saw the girl had no legs."I was born without legs. My father really hates taking care of me."...because there was indeed someone else like it.The chimera felt very happy indeed to have made its first friend. "I want to draw this. I want to leave behind drawings made by my own hand of the glorious world I see in my eyes."burning deserts......endless oceans......lands of ice...They earned their travel costs by selling maps they drew.After that, the exquisite world maps they'd drawn......were duplicated, and before they knew it, had spread all over the globe....and where the sand sparkled like it was set with diamonds....the chimera asked the woman... "...if we're both failures...""...was the world in the maps that we drew also a failure...?"The woman thought this over for a little while......and then replied... "After all, no such wonderful place as this is drawn anywhere on those maps.""Sure enough," the chimera agreed, and then smiled.And the two of them lived on this paradise-like island......which they hadn't drawn on their maps......and which no one in the world besides them knew about......forever and ever...The Failure Chimera...the girl said....there was an eeeevil scientist."You are a failure," the scientist said. The chimera had no idea what he meant.The chimera had just been born......and already it was all alone.As it was walking along, the chimera spotted a group of bats."Hello there. Would you happen to know anyone like me?"—asked the chimera. "We've never seen anyone like you. Your wings look a little like ours, though."Next, the chimera met a group of snakes.The snakes replied: "Sorry, but we've never seen anyone like you. Your tail looks a little like ours, though."The chimera's shoulders sagged.Next, the chimera met a group of people....but no sooner did the people see the chimera...Again, chimera asked:The chimera was a little surprised. Then it responded to the girl:...then they ran away as fast as they could."Not long ago, he called me a failure behind my back," the girl said.And so the two of them decided to fly through the skies all over the world....the chimera decided to look for others like him.The chimera was quickly driven out of the laboratory. Squealing away, the bats then flew off.But God made a fearsome face and replied: "I don't recall creating anything of your like. Your very existence is a sacrilege to me."Then the chimera finally realized...The chimera became sad......she smiled and greeted it with a "Hello."Yes...Then God tried to kill the chimera.The chimera barely escaped with its life....there was no one like it in the entire world. "Hello there. You're a human, yet you're not going to run away from me...?"The girl replied:The chimera was amazed.The chimera and the girl quickly became friends....grew its wings large and took off into the sky."It's a dream for someone like me to fly around in the sky!"The pair of them went about all kinds of places:At length, the two of them had flown around the entire wiiiide, wide world.The two of them lived where the sea was clear all the way to the bottom... "Tell me..."The woman was lured to smile as well."Hello there. Would you happen to know anyone like me?"With nothing in particular to do...The chimera promptly asked:Next, the chimera met with God.The bats replied:The chimera remembered being called a failure by the scientist.Then the chimera felt very happy.The chimera then carried the girl on its back... "Oh my, how beautiful...""Hello there. Would you happen to know anyone like me?""Hello there. Would you happen to know anyone like me?"
