CHAPTER 21
**[02:39] ---**
FLAME ON! THE SOLITUDE OF THE TAKURO-BI
**[02:44] ---**
What's this?
"Wire your payment right away"?
**[02:48] ---**
It's your fault for trusting me.
**[02:53] ---**
But if I don't hit the jackpot, I'll be
tied up and tossed into the ocean again.
**[03:02] ---**
Here we go.
**[03:09] ---**
My wallet!
**[03:17] ---**
All my savings...
**[03:19] ---**
I-I'm sorry!
**[03:22] ---**
Forget it. Don't worry about it.
**[03:24] ---**
I'm the Rat Man. I don't fret over
little things like that.
**[03:29] ---**
Money can be earned again.
**[03:30] ---**
But...
**[03:32] ---**
You're Takuro-Bi, aren't you?
**[03:34] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:36] ---**
I was hoping you could help me
with your ability to control fire.
**[03:41] ---**
Wanna leave the forest
and work with me for the humans?
**[03:45] ---**
I could never do that!
**[03:47] ---**
-No way!
-H-Hey!
**[03:49] ---**
Hold on!
**[03:53] ---**
Yow!
**[03:57] ---**
I was worried for a moment there.
**[04:00] ---**
I'm really sorry.
**[04:02] ---**
This always happens.
**[04:05] ---**
When someone touches me,
they all get burned...
**[04:12] ---**
Are you okay with that?
**[04:14] ---**
Are you going to go on, closed off
without being with anyone?
**[04:20] ---**
I don't have a choice...
**[04:22] ---**
You don't have a choice?
Who told you that?
**[04:26] ---**
You should freely
make friends with who you want.
**[04:30] ---**
Who'd want to be friends with
a *yokai* who burns at a touch?
**[04:35] ---**
Well there's me.
**[04:37] ---**
Huh?
**[04:38] ---**
I'll do it. I'll be your first friend.
**[04:43] ---**
My... friend?
**[04:45] ---**
That's right.
Takuro-Bi's friend, Rat Man-sama.
**[04:50] ---**
Rat Man-san?
**[04:52] ---**
Come on. Trust me.
**[04:55] ---**
We're friends, right?
**[05:00] ---**
What's next?
**[05:02] ---**
Let's check that out.
**[05:06] ---**
This is the place chosen as this summer's
number one must-see leisure spot,
**[05:11] ---**
the Sky Island attraction, BiBiBi Fire!
**[05:20] ---**
Ah, nice and hot.
**[05:24] ---**
Kitaro!
**[05:25] ---**
What's wrong, Catchick?
**[05:27] ---**
Look at this!
**[05:28] ---**
My motto is,
"Customers' smiles over profits"!
**[05:33] ---**
I produced BiBiBi Fire so that...
**[05:35] ---**
Doing business in the human world again...
**[05:38] ---**
Knowing him,
I have a bad feeling about this.
**[05:43] ---**
Welcome, everyone!
I'm your expedition commander, Ratty!
**[05:48] ---**
You are now members of this active volcano
investigation team, Team BiBiBi.
**[05:53] ---**
From here, the expedition captain,
Takuro will lead you!
**[06:01] ---**
Y-Young lady,
get close to me and you'll get burned.
**[06:08] ---**
N-Now, it's off to an adventure!
**[06:14] ---**
*One bill... Two bills...*
**[06:19] ---**
Rat Man.
**[06:22] ---**
K-Kitaro!
**[06:23] ---**
Let's hear what you have to say.
**[06:26] ---**
STAFF ONLY
NO ENTRY
**[06:27] ---**
I told you, I'm not doing anything wrong!
**[06:31] ---**
Stop lying!
**[06:33] ---**
You're tricking other *yokai*
to make money again, aren't you?!
**[06:37] ---**
I'm not being tricked!
Rat Man-san is my friend!
**[06:42] ---**
Huh?
**[06:43] ---**
It's true! I'm just helping my friend!
**[06:47] ---**
I don't care about money.
**[06:50] ---**
I'm doing this for Takuro-Bi.
**[06:53] ---**
Friendship. It's for friendship, right?
**[06:55] ---**
Yup!
**[06:58] ---**
Takuro-Bi's being tricked for sure!
**[07:02] ---**
There's *yokai* activity.
**[07:04] ---**
Of course there is. Takuro-Bi's nearby.
**[07:07] ---**
No. That's not it.
**[07:10] ---**
Hm?
**[07:11] ---**
What is it, Dad?
**[07:14] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[07:23] ---**
Looks like Kitaro and them
aren't coming back.
**[07:26] ---**
I'll be going. Also...
**[07:28] ---**
"Don't go outside. Don't be seen."
**[07:32] ---**
You've got the idea.
**[07:34] ---**
Later. Good night.
**[07:43] ---**
I'm pulling out all the stops tonight!
**[07:46] ---**
Keep bringing more drinks!
**[07:50] ---**
*Making others work for free
and drinking on those profits is great!*
**[08:05] ---**
Once in a while should be fine.
**[08:29] ---**
Was that...?
**[08:36] ---**
Hey, you.
**[08:38] ---**
Wait up!
**[08:46] ---**
You don't have to run.
**[08:50] ---**
H-Hi.
**[08:52] ---**
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-...
**[08:54] ---**
I'm Pigu the super robot!
**[08:57] ---**
I'm the latest robot from
the year 3000 in the future!
**[09:06] ---**
My name's Takuro-Bi.
**[09:09] ---**
Isn't it Takuro?
**[09:12] ---**
That's for the attraction--
**[09:14] ---**
Is someone there?
**[09:15] ---**
What should I do?
**[09:18] ---**
This way.
**[09:20] ---**
Don't! If you touch me, you'll burn!
**[09:23] ---**
It's fine. I'm a robot.
**[09:35] ---**
Must be my imagination.
**[09:42] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:44] ---**
I can't be seen either.
**[09:48] ---**
Why did you run away before?
**[09:50] ---**
I'm not really good at
talking to people...
**[09:54] ---**
I'm the same way.
**[09:57] ---**
But you're really popular.
**[09:59] ---**
I'm forcing myself to talk.
**[10:02] ---**
I'm really no good at talking...
**[10:07] ---**
Y-You know...
**[10:09] ---**
My friend told me,
**[10:11] ---**
"You can live the way you want."
**[10:14] ---**
Your friend says nice things.
**[10:17] ---**
Yeah! His name's Rat Man-san.
**[10:21] ---**
That's right! Rat Man-san told me,
**[10:24] ---**
even if you're no good at first, get used
to it and you'll be able to talk smoothly.
**[10:28] ---**
How do you get used to it?
**[10:31] ---**
I'll be your practice partner!
**[10:34] ---**
I wanna be able to talk to
the guests better as well.
**[10:39] ---**
So could you be my practice partner, too?
**[10:42] ---**
Really?!
**[10:43] ---**
Sure! Of course!
**[10:47] ---**
You're warm.
**[10:54] ---**
See you tonight!
**[10:55] ---**
Okay!
**[11:02] ---**
I wonder if we can be friends...
**[11:15] ---**
*YOKAI* TAKURO-BI
**[11:18] ---**
*YOKAI* AMEFURI-KOZO
**[11:20] ---**
-*"I was sleeping."*
-*"Sorry."*
**[11:21] ---**
*"Smack!"*
**[11:23] ---**
Hey! We're on!
**[11:24] ---**
Okay!
**[11:26] ---**
BiBiBi Fire!
**[11:28] ---**
Numerous dangers may
assault you on the way!
**[11:32] ---**
But let's make it to the very end!
**[11:35] ---**
Hi! I'm Pigu the super robot!
**[11:36] ---**
PIGU'S FUTURE THEATER
**[11:39] ---**
Why don't you try adding more movement?
**[11:42] ---**
Like this.
**[11:45] ---**
Hi! I'm Pigu the super robot!
**[11:49] ---**
I'm the latest robot from
the year 3000 in the future!
**[11:54] ---**
Touch me and you'll get burned!
**[11:57] ---**
You're still a little nervous.
**[12:00] ---**
Be more confident.
**[12:01] ---**
All right, Pigu.
**[12:03] ---**
Any closer and...
**[12:05] ---**
you'll get burned!
**[12:24] ---**
I've never had so many people
come to see me before!
**[12:28] ---**
I wish I could've seen it.
**[12:30] ---**
The people lined up for your attraction
gave me lots of applause too!
**[12:35] ---**
Really? Congratulations, Pigu!
**[12:37] ---**
It's all thanks to you!
**[12:39] ---**
No, I should be thanking you!
**[12:42] ---**
Thanks to my practice with you,
BiBiBi Fire is super popular every day!
**[12:47] ---**
Pigu's Future Theater is
super popular, too!
**[12:51] ---**
Say, did you notice?
**[12:52] ---**
Pigu, you're talking much better than
when we first met!
**[12:58] ---**
You're right.
**[12:59] ---**
It's because we practiced together.
**[13:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:03] ---**
Let's keep working together to make this
theme park even more exciting!
**[13:09] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:21] ---**
Good morning!
**[13:23] ---**
Give me a break...
**[13:25] ---**
I'm dealing with daily hangovers here...
**[13:28] ---**
Let's entertain the guests again today.
**[13:31] ---**
Yeah, right.
**[13:33] ---**
The guests are loving your ad lib.
**[13:36] ---**
Aren't they?!
**[13:37] ---**
Thanks to that, I'm making loads of...
I mean, the guests are having a blast.
**[13:42] ---**
Keep up the good work.
**[13:44] ---**
Yes!
**[13:46] ---**
Huh?
**[13:48] ---**
My head's ringing!
**[13:50] ---**
What's that sound?
**[13:52] ---**
That's a renewal.
**[13:54] ---**
A renewal?
**[13:55] ---**
That's right. Thanks to you, BiBiBi Fire
is a huge success every day.
**[14:01] ---**
We're building a new,
even bigger attraction.
**[14:04] ---**
Really?!
**[14:05] ---**
Yeah. You know that robot stage next door?
**[14:09] ---**
We're tearing that down to build it.
**[14:11] ---**
Huh?
**[14:12] ---**
I produced that too,
but it's not as profitable as I'd hoped.
**[14:22] ---**
Wh-Wh-What's with you all of a sudden?
**[14:26] ---**
You're tearing down that stage?!
**[14:28] ---**
How hard do you think Pigu is trying?!
**[14:31] ---**
Huh? Trying hard?
**[14:33] ---**
What about it?!
**[14:35] ---**
Effort only gets you
as far as high school baseball!
**[14:40] ---**
I'm trying to make money off of all this.
**[14:43] ---**
Results are everything!
**[14:44] ---**
No customer's going to pay for
something stupid like trying hard!
**[14:52] ---**
H-Hold on! I'm your first friend, right?
**[14:57] ---**
You're not my friend anymore!
**[15:06] ---**
Hold on, Pigu!
**[15:12] ---**
Where's Pigu?!
**[15:13] ---**
Wh-What's Pigu?
**[15:15] ---**
The robot that was here!
**[15:16] ---**
I-It'll be in the trash compactor by now.
**[15:19] ---**
What?!
**[15:22] ---**
-What's that?!
-Hey!
**[15:36] ---**
Stop!
**[15:38] ---**
Huh? Wh-What?!
**[15:39] ---**
Pigu!
**[16:00] ---**
This hand held mine...
**[16:05] ---**
You're warm.
**[16:08] ---**
And yet...
**[16:10] ---**
And yet...
**[16:17] ---**
Pigu!
**[16:19] ---**
Give him back!
**[16:34] ---**
Give me back my friend!
**[16:36] ---**
H-Help!
**[17:00] ---**
Takuro-Bi!
**[17:01] ---**
What's wrong?! Snap out of it!
**[17:05] ---**
It's no good! It's lost its mind!
**[17:13] ---**
Hair Needles!
**[17:50] ---**
Stop!
**[17:52] ---**
Why is it suddenly raining?
**[18:00] ---**
That's the Amefuri-Kozo!
**[18:02] ---**
That means this rain is...!
**[18:05] ---**
Stop!
**[18:15] ---**
Amefuri-Kozo!
**[18:18] ---**
Wait, Kitaro!
**[18:20] ---**
It looks like those two
have some kind of connection!
**[18:28] ---**
Stop!
**[18:42] ---**
Why are you so desperate, Amefuri-Kozo?!
**[19:07] ---**
Pigu...
**[19:08] ---**
Pigu...!
**[19:20] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[19:32] ---**
Pigu?
**[19:35] ---**
Pigu! You're Pigu, aren't you?!
**[19:38] ---**
Then, what's this?
**[19:41] ---**
Amefuri-Kozo, you were wearing that
robot suit, weren't you?
**[19:46] ---**
Y-You were?
**[19:50] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:52] ---**
Huh?
**[19:53] ---**
Because I didn't tell you...
**[19:56] ---**
Because I deceived you...
**[19:58] ---**
You hurt the humans.
**[20:01] ---**
I'm sorry, too.
**[20:03] ---**
I didn't know it was you and I hurt you...
**[20:10] ---**
Wait!
**[20:11] ---**
Why? Why are you leaving?!
**[20:14] ---**
Please don't go!
**[20:16] ---**
If you go away, I'll be alone again!
**[20:22] ---**
I was always afraid.
**[20:25] ---**
I hurt people.
**[20:28] ---**
That's why everyone hates me.
**[20:31] ---**
For the longest time I thought
no one would ever be my friend!
**[20:38] ---**
That's why when Rat Man said
he'd be my first friend, I was so happy.
**[20:45] ---**
So we started BiBiBi Fire.
**[20:48] ---**
But I was still lonely...
**[20:51] ---**
Of course I was.
He was just tricking me after all.
**[20:56] ---**
But then I met you,
and we talked every night.
**[21:00] ---**
And we practiced together.
**[21:02] ---**
I really had fun!
**[21:06] ---**
When I was with you,
I felt I wasn't alone anymore!
**[21:14] ---**
So please, don't go!
**[21:16] ---**
If you go away, I'll be alone again...
**[21:27] ---**
I don't...
**[21:29] ---**
want to be alone...
**[21:32] ---**
either!
**[21:35] ---**
Practice was fun, wasn't it, Takuro-Bi?
**[21:39] ---**
Amefuri-Kozo!
**[21:52] ---**
I think they'll be able to
make it together.
**[21:55] ---**
Their differences
let them help each other.
**[21:58] ---**
Such bonds do exist...
