Plot
See also: Kerberos saga chronicles and Kerberos saga charactersThe story mixes elements of Mamoru Oshii's Kerberos and Tachiguishi lifework. The plot draws a parallel between the Little Red Riding Hood tale's oral version (which is a pre-Grimm version reported by Jean-Baptiste Victor Smith from a Haute-Loire girl in 1870) and the Kerberos saga universe, as in the Jin-Roh animated feature. Compared with Jin-Roh the perspective is different, focusing on the Sect side instead of the Kerberos one. The Little Red Riding Hood (赤ずきん, Akazukin?) character is now impersonated by Foxy Croquette O-Gin, the legendary female Fast Food Grifter (Tachiguishi in Japanese) also known as Young Lady (少女, Shōjo) in The Red Spectacles. The Big Bad Wolf character remains the Kerberos though.
- Act 1: Iron Clothes (鉄の服, Tetsu no fuku?)
A little girl wanted to go meet her mother she had not visited since several years. She had been dressed with iron clothes and had been told that she'll be able to see her mother when her clothes had worn out. Then the little girl rubbed her armour against the walls until it tore. She filled her basket with some milk, bread, cheese and butter and ran away in the woods. At a crossroad she met a wolf who asked her what was her carrying in her basket. The girl answered and the wolf asked her if she could share her meal with him, she refused telling the food was for her mother.
- Act 2: Pins Road and Needles Road (ﾋﾟﾝの道と針の道, Pin no michi to no michi?)
The wolf asked the little girl which way would her take, the Pins road or the Needles road. The Needles road she answered, then the wolf took the Needles road fast, found the house, entered it and killed the little girl's mother.

And we despoil the unborn.”
