    Ta-dah!
[03:13] Maya
    We were invited!

[03:41] Maya
    Nice to meet you, Rick-san.
[03:43] Rick
    You're in the Sakura Room, yes?
[03:45] Maya
    "Sakura Room"?
[03:47] Maya
    Sounds like a traditional inn!
[03:51] Maya
    It really does say "Sakura"!
[03:57] Maya
    I've never see anything like this!
[03:59] PW
    A compartment, huh?
[04:02] Maya
    Amazing!
[04:03] Maya
    It's like a hotel room!
[04:05] PW
    Yeah, very nice.
[04:07] Rick
    Thank you very much.
[04:09] Rick
    The Silver Star is a private service that
    Richnande built by buying an old railroad.
[04:16] Rick
    Its retro appearance is modeled after the
    good old steam engine trains from the 50s.
[04:21] Rick
    Even the decor has been
    meticulously designed.
[04:24] Rick
    Meanwhile, the train's engines and propulsion
     system are bleeding edge technology.
[04:32] Rick
    By the way, the entire crew is people who
    followed Mr. Richnande from his homeland.
[04:37] Maya
    You too, then?
[04:39] Rick
    Yes, I'm from Goldstruck Republic as well.
[04:43] PW
    I hear Mr. Richnande loves Japan very
    much and was recently naturalized.
[04:48] Rick
    That's right.
[04:48] Maya
    Ah, so that's why the Sakura Room and stuff.
[04:52] Rick
    The ultimate railway, a realization
    of his dreams and ideals...
[04:55] Rick
    That's the Silver Star.
[04:57] Rick
    We hope you enjoy your journey.
[05:00] Maya
    But man, I can't believe
    you got invited to this.
[05:05] Maya
    When did you become such
    a big shot, Naruhodo-kun?
[05:09] PW
    Funny thing about that.
[05:11] PW
    I don't know Mr. Richnande at all.
[05:14] PW
    I have no idea why I was invited.
[05:17] Maya
    Yeah, you are pretty small fry, if anything.
[05:21] Maya
    Anyway, let's explore!
[05:25] Maya
    Come on, come on!

    Pardon me.

    Mm...
[07:28] PW
    After receiving the invitation, I tried
    to study up on Mr. Hubley Richnande.
[07:33] PW
    When he, a world-famous multimillionaire,
    gained Japanese citizenship

    Ahoy, Steel Samurai.

    Ahoy?

    Let's play with them.

    What can we even do with transceivers?
[07:56] Maya
    Isn't that obvious?

    I heard.
[08:50] Rick
    It's a request from a valued passenger.
[08:52] Rick
    It wasn't in our plans,
    but we must still fulfill it.
[08:55] Reg
    Got it.

    Okay.

    I'd like some scotch.
[09:11] Rick
    Certainly. I'll get it.
[09:18] Gum
    A book about trains?
[09:19] PW
    Yeah. I wanted to learn about this railroad.
[09:23] PW
    It was originally a short local line,
[09:25] PW
    and it gradually grew in size to
    transport locals across the country.
[09:29] Gum
    Oh?
[09:30] PW
    But you know what?

    Oh, come on. Quit being such rail nerds.
