**[00:10] ---**
Natsu! It went that way!
**[00:13] ---**
Yeah! Leave it to me!
**[00:39] ---**
This guy's got a thick hide!
**[00:41] ---**
A crocodile's scales are tough,
**[00:44] ---**
so just punching it might not be enough!
**[00:47] ---**
Then what should I do?!
**[00:48] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[00:50] ---**
Gate of the Goat, I open thee! Capricorn!
**[01:01] ---**
You summoned me, Lucy-sama?
**[01:04] ---**
We have to deliver a scale from
that thing's back to our client.
**[01:09] ---**
As you wish. I'll try hitting it
with a flurry of precise punches.
**[01:23] ---**
Yeah, that's the way!
**[01:27] ---**
Let me get in on this!
Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!
**[01:42] ---**
Thanks!
**[01:43] ---**
It is an honor to be of service.
See you again.
**[01:47] ---**
All right! He's down and out!
**[01:50] ---**
As always, there was no finesse to it.
**[01:53] ---**
All we had to do was get a scale.
**[01:56] ---**
Oh?
**[01:57] ---**
Okay, let's make our report...
**[02:05] ---**
An earthquake?
**[02:14] ---**
What is that?
**[02:18] ---**
That's obviously...
**[02:21] ---**
...an egg!
**[03:56] ---**
Ten days now?
**[03:58] ---**
Yeah. He hasn't even shown up at the guild.
**[04:02] ---**
It looks like he's keeping the egg warm.
**[04:04] ---**
He's not eatin' it, is he?
**[04:06] ---**
There's no way!
**[04:08] ---**
After all, he did a good job
keeping Happy's egg warm, right?
**[04:11] ---**
Anyway, let's check on him.
**[04:18] ---**
Natsu? Happy?
**[04:29] ---**
H-Hey! Natsu!
**[04:34] ---**
H-Hey! They ate it after all,
and then got sick!
**[04:37] ---**
Stop it, Gray!
**[04:41] ---**
W-What the...?!
**[04:42] ---**
You're slow. Do you think
you can get away like that?
***SIGN*** Don't beat about the bush
**[04:51] ---**
What the hell do you think you're doing?
**[04:54] ---**
Natsu!
**[04:57] ---**
There you are.
**[05:01] ---**
W-What is that?
**[05:03] ---**
It just hatched.
**[05:06] ---**
We haven't slept, just kept
it warm all this time...
**[05:13] ---**
It's cute when you take a closer look.
**[05:15] ---**
So what is it?
**[05:21] ---**
Why was I born?
**[05:24] ---**
I don't know anything,
**[05:26] ---**
but they stroke my back with warm hands
**[05:29] ---**
and gaze at me with kind eyes...
**[05:32] ---**
It doesn't matter if I don't know
anything. That's what I thought.
**[05:40] ---**
Here Comes Kemokemo!
**[06:01] ---**
All right, I've decided!
Your name is Kemokemo!
**[06:07] ---**
Happy, we've got a new member of the family.
**[06:10] ---**
Aye! I'd better do my best with the cooking.
**[06:14] ---**
Huh? I wonder what Kemokemo eats.
**[06:18] ---**
Hey, are you sure it's okay
to raise an unknown creature?
**[06:22] ---**
But Natsu-san looks so happy.
**[06:25] ---**
What's he gonna do if it's
a demon or something?
**[06:27] ---**
That...
**[06:29] ---**
It'll be a pain if it comes to that!
**[06:32] ---**
He should obviously quit now.
**[06:35] ---**
Erza, do you know anything about it?
**[06:38] ---**
It's a nice dog.
**[06:40] ---**
I was a fool for asking.
**[06:46] ---**
Wait for me, Kemokemo!
**[06:49] ---**
Cut it out!
**[06:51] ---**
Since when has this been a pet shop?
**[06:54] ---**
He's not a pet. He's family!
**[06:56] ---**
Don't you get it?
**[06:58] ---**
It's getting bigger even as we speak.
**[07:03] ---**
That's right! Now that you mention it,
it is a little bigger...
**[07:06] ---**
What the heck, Gramps?
Where's the harm?
**[07:09] ---**
However you look at it,
that's clearly not just a dog.
**[07:13] ---**
I'm against raising something that
might turn out to be a demon.
**[07:18] ---**
Kemokemo! You can breathe fire?!
**[07:20] ---**
Just like Natsu!
**[07:22] ---**
That's why I said it's no dog!
**[07:25] ---**
I don't care what you say! I'm keeping him!
**[07:27] ---**
Not even keeping! He's family!
**[07:38] ---**
A frog?
**[07:39] ---**
A dinosaur?
**[07:43] ---**
Master Makarov, I have come from
the Council with a message.
**[07:49] ---**
Hey! Did somebody cause trouble again?
**[07:52] ---**
No, that's not it.
**[07:55] ---**
Among the six guild teams that put up
a good fight in the Grand Magic Games,
**[07:59] ---**
we've created an exchange student system,
**[08:04] ---**
wherein participants can broaden
their knowledge of other guilds.
**[08:08] ---**
Exchange students...
**[08:10] ---**
Five members can participate.
**[08:12] ---**
Gramps, I'll go!
**[08:14] ---**
Me, me! It's perfect! I can
ask around about Kemokemo!
**[08:19] ---**
Natsu, you don't know what an
exchange student is, do you?
**[08:22] ---**
I'm goin' for sure! You too, right, Happy?
**[08:25] ---**
Aye!
**[08:26] ---**
Then maybe I'll go, too.
I'd worry if Natsu went off alone.
**[08:30] ---**
Where are you going?
**[08:31] ---**
Um, I thought I'd go out
on a job or something...
**[08:34] ---**
We're exchange students now. Follow me.
**[08:38] ---**
Why?! It's gonna be a pain in the ass!
**[08:41] ---**
At any rate, he sure is cute.
**[08:44] ---**
That ain't an answer!
**[08:46] ---**
All right! Let's go, Happy and Kemokemo!
**[08:49] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[09:00] ---**
I feel sick...
**[09:05] ---**
Kemokemo really is getting big.
**[09:08] ---**
Yeah. Now he's useful as a cushion.
**[09:12] ---**
Let's focus on being exchange students.
**[09:14] ---**
It looks like you're
focusing on something else.
**[09:18] ---**
Welcome.
**[09:20] ---**
Men...
**[09:23] ---**
W-We're much obliged to you.
**[09:25] ---**
Erza-san's fragrant *parfum*.
**[09:28] ---**
It wafted in on the breeze
when you were still far off.
**[09:33] ---**
Good smell!
**[09:35] ---**
L-Looking forward to this.
**[09:36] ---**
Don't worry about the stiff pleasantries.
**[09:39] ---**
That's right. First take a load off inside.
**[09:42] ---**
We didn't clean up just because
we knew you guys were coming.
**[09:45] ---**
Um...
**[09:47] ---**
So what are we supposed to do?
**[09:49] ---**
I've prepared wonderful work for you.
**[09:53] ---**
What's that?
**[09:56] ---**
It's Kemokemo! Do you
know anything about him?
**[09:59] ---**
No.
**[10:00] ---**
Sniff-sniff. Its *parfum*
isn't that of a beast.
**[10:04] ---**
Really? That's because I washed him.
**[10:06] ---**
Well, as long as he doesn't
bite any of our customers.
**[10:10] ---**
Customers?
**[10:11] ---**
Go ahead, show them around.
**[10:13] ---**
This way, please.
**[10:21] ---**
This is what they mean by beautiful *parfum*.
**[10:24] ---**
And this is why I selected them myself.
**[10:27] ---**
You're a genius, Sensei!
**[10:30] ---**
Ichiya's...
**[10:31] ---**
Ichiya's...
**[10:32] ---**
...nice choice!
**[10:34] ---**
Nice scent!
**[10:36] ---**
Nice, nice, nice!
**[10:38] ---**
Men!
**[10:41] ---**
What is this?
**[10:43] ---**
Certainly, it's not bad...
**[10:49] ---**
Natsu!
**[10:54] ---**
Hey, that's like putting clothes
on a packhorse!
**[10:56] ---**
Shut up!
**[10:58] ---**
Look down.
**[11:01] ---**
Huh?
**[11:03] ---**
And now, to work!
**[11:06] ---**
Please attend to the customers,
i.e. the clients, in the lounge!
**[11:11] ---**
I figured that's what it was.
**[11:13] ---**
Okay! Let's steel ourselves
for it and go! Yeah!
**[11:15] ---**
Right!
**[11:31] ---**
Sure! I'll consider taking that request!
**[11:34] ---**
That's not good...
**[11:36] ---**
It looks like that customer
is gonna pass out.
**[11:38] ---**
I don't like how rough she is.
**[11:42] ---**
Hey, do you know anything
about raising this guy?
**[11:45] ---**
M-Men...
**[11:47] ---**
W-Welcome.
**[11:50] ---**
You must be new here. You're cute!
**[11:52] ---**
I don't know if I'd call myself "new"...
**[11:56] ---**
So, um, what kind of request do you have?
**[12:02] ---**
Anyone know how to raise this guy?
**[12:05] ---**
I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[12:11] ---**
Hey, do you know how to raise this guy?
**[12:14] ---**
Hey, Natsu!
**[12:15] ---**
Excuse me! What is that?!
**[12:17] ---**
Why did you bring a dog in here?
**[12:19] ---**
He ain't a dog! He's Kemokemo!
**[12:21] ---**
Take it outside! It's gross!
**[12:24] ---**
Gross?! I can't let that go!
**[12:27] ---**
Lucy! I really have a bad
feeling about this...
**[12:30] ---**
Hey, Natsu! Erza! Stop it!
**[12:40] ---**
Kemokemo! Did you just protect me?!
**[12:44] ---**
You're a nice guy!
**[12:46] ---**
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to
go to another guild.
**[12:50] ---**
Natsu!
**[12:55] ---**
When something rings inside
my head, I have to act.
**[13:01] ---**
Maybe it's to protect everyone.
**[13:03] ---**
But it looks like this time was different.
**[13:06] ---**
I got Natsu... my family... into trouble.
**[13:09] ---**
I don't understand,
but I'll listen to them carefully.
**[13:23] ---**
So what did Makarov say?
**[13:26] ---**
It sounded like Gramps didn't
know anything about him, either.
**[13:29] ---**
He doesn't eat or drink anything,
but still keeps getting bigger.
**[13:34] ---**
If Makarov with all his
knowledge doesn't know,
**[13:37] ---**
then maybe it's a new species
of something.
**[13:40] ---**
Shall I try giving it a spin?
**[13:41] ---**
No, I don't think he needs a spin.
**[13:44] ---**
Of all people, it had to be you,
and not Juvia...
**[13:48] ---**
I'm not here because I wanna be.
**[13:50] ---**
And why aren't you an exchange student?
**[13:53] ---**
You and I are different. Even as an exchange
student, I have nothing left to learn.
**[14:01] ---**
Jura!
**[14:02] ---**
What's that?
**[14:04] ---**
Your work here.
**[14:06] ---**
Recently, we've had a request to decipher
some lithographs that washed up on shore.
**[14:16] ---**
What's this book?
**[14:18] ---**
A tome I brought from the library that
looks like it may have some connection.
**[14:21] ---**
Here...
**[14:31] ---**
Here... and here, too...
**[14:33] ---**
This is a dictionary, but the writings
are so difficult, they have me stumped.
**[14:39] ---**
This is really more up Levy-chan's alley.
**[14:42] ---**
Come on, show us that aspiring
novelist's fighting spirit.
**[14:46] ---**
Is this one of those things where
fighting spirit makes a difference?
**[14:56] ---**
Lucy, I'll help, too.
**[14:58] ---**
You can't.
**[14:59] ---**
What?!
**[15:00] ---**
So, when?
**[15:02] ---**
When what?!
**[15:04] ---**
Obviously, when are you and
Juvia going to tie the knot?!
**[15:08] ---**
What the hell are you talkin' about?!
**[15:09] ---**
The thought never even crossed my mind!
**[15:12] ---**
Then for the sake of her happiness,
think about it now. When?!
**[15:19] ---**
When's the wedding?!
Come on! Decide! Now!
**[15:23] ---**
Knock it off! Get that photo outta my face!
And I have no intention of gettin' married!
**[15:26] ---**
Shut up! Lucy's trying to think!
**[15:29] ---**
Um, "light"...
**[15:34] ---**
"Benefit"...
**[15:43] ---**
Something's stuck to this one!
**[15:45] ---**
What?!
**[15:46] ---**
What?! You'll hold a reception
for relatives only?!
**[15:50] ---**
Think of how Juvia will feel!
**[15:50] ---**
A seashell, but it looks new...
**[15:53] ---**
I didn't say anything like that!
**[15:54] ---**
Hey! I can't concentrate!
**[15:55] ---**
Don't blow your stack over
somethin' you dreamed up!
**[15:56] ---**
You're annoying! Get ready to spin!
**[15:59] ---**
What do you think?
**[16:00] ---**
This word is "tree."
**[16:02] ---**
Um, "light," "benefit," "tree"...
Maybe it's referring to photosynthesis.
**[16:09] ---**
But what does this depiction of people
running away from the smoke mean?
**[16:13] ---**
This is quite the enigma.
**[16:15] ---**
I've heard enough outta you!
**[16:27] ---**
Idiots!
**[16:28] ---**
Jeez!
**[16:29] ---**
That friggin' hurt!
**[16:31] ---**
Well, having an excessive amount of
power is a privilege of the young...
**[16:48] ---**
Enough! Go on to the next place!
Or I'll spin you!
**[17:00] ---**
Yay! Kitty-cat!
**[17:02] ---**
N-Nee-san...
**[17:06] ---**
Come on, say it like you mean it! "Nee-san!"
**[17:10] ---**
You're a cutie.
**[17:12] ---**
Nee-san!
**[17:14] ---**
W-What are you making me do in public?
**[17:17] ---**
Aren't you the one who
suddenly ran into my arms?
**[17:21] ---**
Don't say it!
**[17:25] ---**
By the way, Millianna, what is that
huge slab of meat you're cooking?
**[17:28] ---**
Sauteed deep-sea fish.
**[17:30] ---**
Deep-sea fish?
**[17:32] ---**
Recently, they've been washing
ashore for some reason.
**[17:36] ---**
We tried adding them to the menu,
and it went over well.
**[17:40] ---**
I'd like to try some of that myself.
**[17:42] ---**
More importantly, are they okay over there?
**[18:01] ---**
I came up with the perfect female disguise.
**[18:04] ---**
No one would ever suspect they're men.
**[18:07] ---**
Er-chan, if they are found out...
**[18:10] ---**
Yeah. If men were found to be working
among a female-exclusive guild,
**[18:14] ---**
it would affect our reputation...
**[18:19] ---**
This isn't what I ordered!
**[18:21] ---**
I can't take it anymore!
**[18:27] ---**
It's already affected our reputation, Erza.
**[18:30] ---**
You don't have to say it.
We'll move on to the next one.
**[18:33] ---**
That would help.
**[18:35] ---**
Wild...
**[18:37] ---**
...Four!
**[18:41] ---**
You say "four," but there's only one of you.
**[18:43] ---**
The new and improved Quatre Puppy has gone
back to the original Quatre Cerberus!
**[18:48] ---**
It just has that ring to it.
**[18:50] ---**
That's not an answer.
**[18:52] ---**
What the hell? I was looking forward
to getting sloshed with Cana.
**[18:57] ---**
But you're all dudes!
**[18:58] ---**
You got a problem with that?
**[19:00] ---**
I am not a dude.
**[19:03] ---**
Got no choice. Guess there'll
be a change of plans.
**[19:06] ---**
What are you doin'?
**[19:11] ---**
That hurt!
**[19:12] ---**
W-What was that about?
**[19:14] ---**
It's training. What the hell else?!
**[19:18] ---**
Now you're talkin'!
**[19:23] ---**
Hey! Stop it...
**[19:39] ---**
My power is to protect, after all.
**[19:43] ---**
Natsu, Lucy, all of them...
**[19:47] ---**
But it doesn't feel quite
right for some reason...
**[19:50] ---**
I feel like I'm forgetting something important.
Something very important...
**[19:58] ---**
You really are unusual.
**[20:01] ---**
Everywhere we go,
nobody's seen or heard of you before.
**[20:05] ---**
Well, we're family,
so I'm not gonna give up!
**[20:08] ---**
Me, too!
**[20:10] ---**
Are you guys even interested
in being exchange students?
**[20:12] ---**
If they were, we wouldn't be shuffled
from place to place like this.
**[20:16] ---**
Well, don't let it bother you.
There's always the next place.
**[20:19] ---**
That's some kind of positivity.
**[20:22] ---**
Natsu-san!
**[20:23] ---**
Hi, Sting! How have you been?
**[20:26] ---**
Hurry up! The exchange program is canceled!
**[20:42] ---**
That's...
**[20:43] ---**
...an island, right?
**[20:45] ---**
What about the island?
**[20:46] ---**
It suddenly appeared from
the sea several days ago.
**[20:50] ---**
An island suddenly appears from
the ocean? Is that even possible?
**[20:54] ---**
It's true.
**[20:56] ---**
We think the island appeared because of the
recent occurrence where the ground shook.
**[21:01] ---**
It's not a volcano,
**[21:03] ---**
and it's got a real forest.
It's some weird island.
**[21:05] ---**
Fro thinks so, too.
**[21:08] ---**
It's got structures, doesn't it?
**[21:10] ---**
You've got good eyes.
**[21:11] ---**
So the Council contacted us.
**[21:15] ---**
We want you to explore the island.
**[21:20] ---**
Sabertooth and Fairy Tail, working together.
**[21:25] ---**
What are you guys doing here?
**[21:28] ---**
Um, how can I put it?
**[21:30] ---**
Master asked us to come.
**[21:32] ---**
You've been causing trouble all over the kingdom,
so he told us to keep an eye on you.
**[21:38] ---**
Lahar-san happened to be at the guild
just then, so he took us with him.
**[21:43] ---**
If you want us to investigate the place,
**[21:45] ---**
it would help if you told us
everything you know about it.
**[21:50] ---**
This is the ruling of the Council:
**[21:53] ---**
"That island is dangerous."
**[21:56] ---**
Dangerous?
**[21:59] ---**
Hey, Kemokemo?
**[22:06] ---**
That very important thing...
**[22:09] ---**
When I try to recall it,
a fog rolls in through my brain.
**[22:14] ---**
I have the feeling I'm supposed
to be doing something,
**[22:18] ---**
but I don't know what it is.
**[23:55] ---**
Natsu, Kemokemo is an unusual guy, right?
**[23:58] ---**
You think? I say he's normal.
**[23:59] ---**
No, it's not normal to be hatched
from an egg that fell out of the sky!
**[24:03] ---**
The same thing happened with you, Happy!
**[24:04] ---**
W-Well, that... But it's
not normal to breathe fire!
**[24:08] ---**
I do that!
**[24:09] ---**
Then... then... how about
suddenly growing bigger?
**[24:11] ---**
It's just a growth spurt! You're
sweatin' the trivial details, Happy.
**[24:14] ---**
No, they're not trivial details!
**[24:16] ---**
Next time: The Place You Came To!
**[24:18] ---**
You're not curious about what
Kemokemo really is, Natsu?
**[24:21] ---**
He's a member of our family.
That's all I need to know!
