The Strange Chores

Two teenage aspirant warriors join forces with a spirited ghost girl, tackling the ageing monster‑slayer’s dangerous supernatural chores as a form of training. Through these tasks they hone the abilities needed to ultimately fully replace him as the new monster‑slayer.

The programme is a stand‑alone episode that follows a small, eclectic team of young adventurers. At its centre are two teenage boys who dream of becoming warrior‑heroes, alongside a bright‑spirited ghost girl who refuses to be left out of the action. Together they set out on a quest that mixes the ordinary trials of adolescence with the uncanny duties of a monster‑slayer. The core of the story sees the trio taking on the supernatural chores normally handled by an ageing monster‑slayer. By shouldering these otherworldly tasks, the teenagers begin to sharpen the combat and magical abilities they’ve been yearning to master. Their ghost companion, ever‑energetic, adds a spectral edge to the work, helping the pair navigate the eerie responsibilities they inherit. Through each chore—whether hunting a lurking beast or sealing a haunted doorway—the young heroes learn the practical skills required to fill the veteran’s shoes. Their training is as much about teamwork as it is about individual growth, with every completed task bringing them a step closer to the competence the older slayer once possessed. Ultimately, the episode charts their progress toward becoming the successors the ageing monster‑slayer needs. By the end, the three have not only honed their abilities but also proved they can take over his mantle, ready to keep the supernatural world in check.
