[01:42] Milo
    Whew, looks like no one's following us.
[01:44] Bisco
    Quit clinging to me over
    every little thing, dummy!
[01:47] Bisco
    I'm already wearing
    tons of layers as it is.
[02:03] Milo
    Hey, Bisco, we're veering off-course.
[02:06] Milo
    If we keep going this way, we'll miss
    the mark and end up too far east.
[02:09] Bisco
    Don't say ill-omened things like
    "miss the mark" to an archer. You heathen.
[02:14] Bisco
    This is the problem with city brats.
[02:16] Milo
    That's not the issue!
[02:18] Milo
    Are we sure this is the right way?
    We didn't take the wrong path, did we?
[02:21] Bisco
    I've never been mistaken in my life.
[02:23] Milo
    Really? Because we're
    supposed to be going to Akita.
[02:28] Bisco
    What an annoying panda you are!
    Who do you think you're talkin' to here?!
[02:32] Bisco
    Sheltered boys should
    just shut up and follow!
[02:34] Bisco
    Tsk. Now where'd that guy go off to?
[02:52] Milo
    Look, Bisco, it's driftweed.
[02:54] Milo
    I hear it absorbs light from
     the sun and glows at night.
[02:57] Milo
    The rumors I heard about it in
    Imihama said it's a very pretty—
[03:02] Bisco
    Why're you being so carefree?
[03:04] Bisco
    You think we're sightseeing?! Come on!
[03:06] Milo
    Th-That's not why I mentioned it.
[03:10] Bisco
    When the driftweed glows at night,
    it attracts bugs and beasts.
[03:13] Bisco
    So I want to get through here
     while it's still daylight.
[03:16] Bisco
    Let your guard down and you'll die.
[03:19] Milo
    S-Sorry.
[03:56] Bisco
    Here.
[04:04] Milo
    That's bitter!
[04:06] Bisco
    Don't chew it, dummy.
[04:08] Bisco
    The guts of these little guys are bitter.
[04:10] Bisco
    You gotta swallow it in one gulp, head-first.
[04:13] Milo
    Swallow it? This thing?!
[04:15] Bisco
    If you don't eat, you won't
    be able to walk. Again.
[04:27] Milo
    Hey, Bisco...
[04:29] Milo
    By my estimates, Pawoo's body
    should last about three months
[04:33] Milo
    thanks to those mushroom injections.
[04:35] Milo
    But the problem is Jabi-san...
[04:38] Milo
    I think he has another month at best.
[04:43] Milo
    Even if Jabi-san's right, and the Rust
    Eater is in a secluded part of Akita,
[04:49] Milo
    there's no way we'll make it in time walking.
[04:51] Milo
    But if we get a car and
    use the Imihama Highway,
[04:54] Milo
    we'll be caught by the Watch in no time.
[04:57] Bisco
    You think I'm just some moron who's
    only good at fighting, don't you?
[05:00] Bisco
    I know all that.
[05:03] Bisco
    I didn't set out on this
    journey without a plan.
[05:06] Milo
    You have some kind of idea, then?

[05:10] Bisco
    The tip of the Ashio Bonecoal Mountains
    extends to just north of here.
[05:15] Bisco
    In the mines there, the longest railcar line
    runs all the way to southern Yamagata.
[05:20] Bisco
    If we find a good connection there,
    it shouldn't even take two days.
[05:23] Milo
    The Ashio mines?
[05:25] Milo
    You mean we're passing through
    the Bonecoal Mountains?!
[05:32] Milo
    I heard the iron mice living in the Bonecoal
     Mountains are fierce and frightening.
[05:37] Milo
    They say, when the swarm attacks, a man can
     be reduced to bones in less than ten seconds.
[05:41] Milo
    No matter how strong you are,
     the two of us can't...
[05:48] Bisco
    Who said it was only the two of us going?
[05:50] Milo
    Huh? But who else is there?
[05:53] Bisco
    The third member of our party,
     well... I just found him.
[06:02] Bisco
    You dummy. He's on our side.
[06:11] Milo
    Th-That's your... friend?
[06:16] Bisco
    My brother.
[06:20] Bisco
    This is Actagawa. He's a steelcrab.
[06:22] Bisco
    I had him go east, around the walls.
[06:25] Bisco
    He doesn't like the heat, so I figured he'd
    buried himself, and I was looking for him.
[06:32] Milo
    So that's why we went east...
[06:34] Bisco
    The animals lurking in the bonecoal mines
[06:36] Bisco
    never attack something they can't
    sink their teeth or poison into.
[06:40] Bisco
    Plus, this guy can walk through any terrain,
    and he's stronger than heavy machinery.
[06:53] Milo
    Amazing.
[06:55] Milo
    I'm Nekoyanagi Milo.
[06:58] Milo
    Nice to meet you, Actagawa.
[07:06] Bisco
    Actagawa, you idiot!
[07:23] Bisco
    Wear that.
[07:24] Bisco
    I forgot that Actagawa...
[07:26] Bisco
    hates doctors.
[07:31] Bisco
    It suits you surprisingly well.
[07:33] Milo
    Really?
[07:34] Bisco
    Only how it looks, I mean.
[07:41] Milo
    It's okay, I'm not an enemy.
[07:44] Milo
    I'm Milo.
[07:45] Milo
    I'm Bisco's new partner.
[07:51] Milo
    I'd like to travel with you and join
    Bisco in his search for the Rust Eater.
[08:05] Milo
    I managed to get on!
[08:10] Milo
    Ouch...
[08:13] Bisco
    So just yank on this here,
    and he'll whirl around.
[08:16] Bisco
    If Actagawa gets all excited and
     goes "Raaargh," just go "Hey!"
[08:19] Bisco
    Then thwap down hard like
    this to get him to stop.
[08:19] Milo
    He's using more sound effects than words.
     I can barely understand him.
[08:23] Bisco
    Well, either way, once you understand how
    he feels, you won't need logic anymore.
[08:27] Bisco
    Want to give riding him a try?
[08:29] Milo
    Yeah, I'll try it.
[08:31] Bisco
    All right, let's see what you've got.
[08:37] Milo
    Here we go, Actagawa.
[08:55] Milo
    Guess I didn't snap the reins right, huh?
[08:58] Milo
    I'm sorry.
[09:03] Bisco
    You put too much power into the reins.
[09:05] Bisco
    There's no way you can
    match Actagawa's strength.
[09:08] Milo
    No, not that way!
[09:13] Milo
    Ow.
[09:16] Bisco
    If you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you, too.
[09:19] Bisco
    Try thinking about how Actagawa feels.
[09:23] Milo
    Ow!
[09:28] Milo
    He hates me.
[09:32] Bisco
    Don't sulk over that.
[09:34] Bisco
    If some crab you didn't know tried to
    ride you, you'd punch him, too, right?
[09:40] Bisco
    He's got his pride as a crab, too.
[09:43] Bisco
    You just have to get used to each other.
[09:45] Milo
    But which will break first,
    his pride or the bones in my neck?
[09:50] Bisco
    You've always got something
     to say, don't ya, Panda?
[09:53] Bisco
    Actagawa's our trump card.
[09:56] Bisco
    You should make friends with him quickly.
[09:58] Milo
    Then I'd like proper instruction
    instead of just idealism.
[10:22] Milo
    At this rate, it'll be impossible to
    get through Bonecoal Mountains.
[10:26] Milo
    Holding Bisco back is the one
    thing I don't want to do.
[10:30] Milo
    Actagawa, please!
[10:34] Milo
    He's going too fast!
[10:37] Milo
    Actagawa! Stop!
[10:52] Milo
    I'm sorry.
[10:53] Milo
    You aren't hurt anywhere, are you?
[10:57] Tirol
    You know, that's one
    incredible crab you're riding.
[11:08] Bisco
    Yup, that should do it.
[11:11] Milo
    Crab thief!
[11:15] Tirol
    Panda-kun, just give it
    up and let go already!
[11:20] Bisco
    What's that idiot doing?
[11:32] Bisco
    Hey, whose crab do you think
    you're layin' your hands on?!
[11:35] Bisco
    Want me to feed you to him?!
[11:49] Bisco
    You idiot. What did you even
    do to end up in that situation?
[11:54] Milo
    I'm sorry.
[11:55] Milo
    That girl said she'd show me
    the ropes, so I just... yeah.
[12:00] Bisco
    Okay, that's enough.
    We'll train again tomorrow.
[12:11] Milo
    I'm sorry for pushing you too hard.
[12:13] Milo
    I'm going to apply some medicine,
    so stay still, okay?
[12:16] Milo
    Don't bother acting tough!
[12:19] Milo
    Good, now sit.
[12:23] Milo
    There. Good boy.
[12:27] Bisco
    Why can't you ride on his
    back when you can do this?
[12:33] Milo
    Do this? Do what?
[12:37] Bisco
    Whatever.
[12:39] Bisco
    Change of plans.
[12:40] Bisco
    No more crab training.
[12:42] Bisco
    You've got talent when it comes to crabs.
[12:45] Milo
    Huh?
[12:46] Bisco
    First time I've ever seen someone who could
    talk to a crab before they could ride it.
[12:54] Bisco
    This is far enough.
    We're almost at the Ashio Mountains.
[12:59] Bisco
    What's that?
[13:03] Bisco
    Okay, we'll sleep here for tonight.
[13:05] Bisco
    Make sure you heal your own wounds, too.
[13:11] Bisco
    Looks like someone beat us here.
[13:14] Bisco
    What's this? It's the crab thief from earlier.
[13:19] Bisco
    Hmm? Wait, now I remember.
     I saw you in Imihama, too.
[13:23] Bisco
    Did someone order you to follow—
[13:27] Milo
    Bisco, move!
[13:36] Milo
    There's something in her stomach.
[13:38] Milo
    This'll be a bit rough, but...
[13:52] Bisco
    What's that thing?
[13:54] Milo
    A balloonworm.
[13:55] Milo
    It's a worm they used to use to
    prevent slaves from escaping.
[13:59] Milo
    Feed the slave the egg, then drugs to stop it
    from hatching. That way, they're yours for life.
[14:03] Milo
    Nowadays, it's used on prisoners.
[14:05] Tirol
    You mean the Imihama governor's
    been using them on his special forces?
[14:10] Tirol
    No wonder they're always
    taking that strange medicine.
[14:13] Tirol
    That damn cheating governor!
[14:15] Milo
    Here, drink some water.
[14:17] Bisco
    I can't believe he can help someone
    who made a fool of him earlier in the day.
[14:23] Tirol
    You saved me!
[14:26] Tirol
    A-A-A-Akaboshi?!
[14:28] Tirol
    Why are you here again?!
[14:29] Bisco
    Huh? Shouldn't "Thank you, great doctor!"
    be the first words out of your mouth instead?
[14:35] Tirol
    You must be joking.
[14:36] Tirol
    If you're saving a lone
    woman out on a journey,
[14:40] Tirol
    you must be looking for that, right?
[14:44] Tirol
    You did just give me
     the most incredible kiss.
[14:46] Milo
    Huh?!
[14:47] Milo
    That's not why I did that!
[14:49] Tirol
    How adorable.
[14:51] Tirol
    Hey, Doctor, that worm just now...
[14:53] Tirol
    I think there might still be
    another one in my stomach.
[14:57] Bisco
    Hey, cut that out already.
[14:59] Bisco
    Who'd get any pleasure out of putting
     their hands on that flat body of yours?
[15:03] Tirol
    So Akaboshi-kun's never
    been with a woman, huh?
[15:06] Tirol
    Hee hee! I guess even Man-Eating Akaboshi
    is an innocent virgin underneath.
[15:13] Milo
    Calm down, Bisco!
[15:14] Milo
    Hey, you're a peddler, right?
[15:17] Milo
    We don't have enough food.
[15:20] Milo
    If you don't mind, could
    you share some with us?
[15:22] Tirol
    You two really aren't after my body?
[15:26] Tirol
    Then why'd you save someone like me?
[15:29] Tirol
    If you wanted my goods, you could've
    just taken them after I died.
[15:34] Bisco
    Now that you mention it, that's true.
[15:35] Milo
    I can't just stand by and let
    someone die right in front of me.
[15:39] Milo
    Right, Bisco?
[15:40] Tirol
    Looks like I got rescued
    by a bona fide softie.
[15:45] Tirol
    I can't tell if that makes me lucky or pathetic.
[15:47] Tirol
    Well, whatever. In that case,
     I'll treat this as business.
[15:53] Tirol
    Welcome to the charming
    jellyfish shop, you two.
[15:58] Milo
    Jellyfish shop?
[15:59] Tirol
    My hair looks like a jellyfish, right?
[16:02] Tirol
    We specialize in blueprints
    for weapons and arms,
[16:05] Tirol
    but we have plenty of food to offer, too.
[16:07] Tirol
    How about this 100% pure scorpion honey?
[16:11] Tirol
    It melts in your mouth!
[16:13] Bisco
    It just needs to fill our bellies.
    Don't you have coal bread or salt mochi?
[16:17] Tirol
    We don't carry poor people food.
[16:20] Milo
    Look, Bisco!
[16:21] Milo
    She has butter-flavored Bisco cookies!
[16:23] Milo
    Let's get these! You love them, right?
[16:26] Bisco
    Uh, well, I've never had them before.
[16:28] Bisco
    We Mushroom Keepers rarely
    ever get a hold of stuff like that.
[16:32] Milo
    All the more reason to get them.
[16:34] Milo
    So, um, can we have this?
[16:36] Tirol
    Huh? That's all you want?
[16:38] Tirol
    They're 4 sols a pop.
[16:39] Bisco
    Huh?! After all of that, you're charging us?!
[16:43] Tirol
    Of course I am!
[16:45] Tirol
    I lost out on your bounty because you
    just happened to be too strong for me!
[16:49] Tirol
    Don't go saying stingy stuff to me!
[16:53] Tirol
    Well, that was a boring sale.
[16:55] Tirol
    I'm going to sleep now. It's 100 sols
     if you touch me, you got that?
[16:59] Tirol
    Oh, half price for you, Panda-kun.
[17:01] Bisco
    Just go sleep already!
[17:04] Milo
    Bisco, getting mad will
    just make you hungry.
[17:06] Package
    BISCO
[17:15] Milo
    Well? How's your namesake?
    Different from what you imagined?
[17:20] Bisco
    I thought it'd be harder.
    After all, the name means "strong."
[17:25] Bisco
    It's got a nourishing flavor, too.
[17:27] Bisco
    I thought it'd taste like a bear's liver.
[17:30] Milo
    There's no way it would!
    It's a sweet treat, after all.
[17:34] Milo
    Well, was it good?
[17:35] Bisco
    Yeah, it was good.
[17:37] Milo
    H-Hey, you're eating too many!
[17:40] Milo
    I was saving mine!
[17:41] Can
    Liquid Bonecoal
[17:41] Tirol
    Well, I can't sell gas to a crab rider.
[17:44] Tirol
    This is old now, so I'll toss it.
[18:01] Bisco
    What's going on?!
[18:02] Bisco
    Hey, Milo, wake up!
[18:14] Milo
    The War Memorial wasn't
    just used to purify weapons.
[18:17] Milo
    The whole temple itself
    is an animal weapon!
[18:20] Tirol
    Help me!
[18:22] Bisco
    You dumbass, get off me!
[18:24] Tirol
    No, no! Don't leave me behind!
[18:26] Bisco
    Just how damn strong is this girl?!
[18:27] Tirol
    No way, no way, no way!
[18:29] Milo
    Bisco!
[18:30] Milo
    You two are both safe?
[18:32] Bisco
    Milo! This thing's main body
    is a coal-eating mantis shrimp.
[18:36] Bisco
    It eats bonecoal!
[18:37] Bisco
    The fuel Jellyfish tossed
    on it earlier woke it up!
[18:42] Bisco
    If this thing runs into
    the Ashio mines now,
[18:45] Bisco
    they'll explode, and we won't
    be able to use the railcar!
[18:46] Sign
    Ashio Bonecoal Mountains
[18:51] Tirol
    I don't want to die!
[18:52] Bisco
    It's no good. I can't handle this
    thing with Jellyfish clinging to me.
[18:55] Bisco
    You'll have to do something to make it stop!
[18:57] Milo
    Make it stop?!
[18:59] Milo
    How am I supposed to make it stop?!
[19:01] Bisco
    Split open its brow!
[19:03] Bisco
    Rattle its brains,
    and even this snail will stop!
[19:06] Bisco
    Split its brow with Actagawa's pincers!
[19:08] Milo
    Don't just suddenly ask the
    impossible from a novice crab rider.
[19:15] Milo
    Bisco!
[19:21] Milo
    He told me to make this thing stop.
[19:25] Milo
    If he thinks I can do it...
[19:27] Milo
    Then I'll do it, Bisco.
[19:30] Milo
    Actagawa, that thing's
    weak spot is right here.
[19:34] Milo
    Aim for its brow.
[19:42] Milo
    Go!
[19:44] Milo
    Actagawa!
[19:51] Bisco
    Milo!
[19:56] Milo
    Bisco!
[19:59] Bisco
    Didn't I tell you?
[20:00] Bisco
    You've got a talent for crabs!
[20:21] Milo
    Hey, Bisco.
[20:23] Milo
    Do you always fight such
    incredible opponents?
[20:26] Bisco
    Nah, that was definitely my
    first time fighting a temple.
[20:31] Bisco
    But I'm sure we'll have to fight
    something even better tomorrow.
[20:34] Bisco
    That's just the star we're born under.
     It's a Mushroom Keeper's way of life.
[20:37] Milo
    I think that's just your star,
    not one for all Mushroom Keepers.
[20:43] Bisco
    This is the entrance to the mines.
[20:45] Bisco
    That was a close call. If we had
    let that thing run through here,
[20:49] Bisco
    it would've blasted the entire mines to—
[20:57] Bisco
    Argh, damn it!
[20:58] Bisco
    Is that... Is that even possible?!
[21:02] Milo
    Bisco...
[21:06] Bisco
    This doesn't mean we've lost our chance.
[21:09] Bisco
    If this way's no good,
    we'll just go a different way.
[21:12] Bisco
    Besides, with so many mushrooms
    sprouting on this huge thing,
[21:15] Bisco
    the rust will soon be gone in this region.
[21:19] Bisco
    The old man would enjoy
    that more than your life.
[21:31] Milo
    Looks like that girl ran off.
[21:33] Milo
    And she took all my money with her.
[21:35] Bisco
    I'm going to catch that
    jellyfish and steam her.
[21:41] Milo
    I'm glad I split my money
    between both our wallets.
SIGN    Panda-kun
    If Akaboshi dies, come 
    team up with me, okay?
[21:44] Tirol&Note
    Panda-kun, if Akaboshi dies,
    come team up with me, okay?
SIGN    Panda-kun
    If Akaboshi dies, come 
    team up with me, okay?
[21:49] Milo
    She left all kinds of things for us.
[21:53] Milo
    I thought she just took our money.
[21:55] Bisco
    Just means she forced us to buy them,
    which is practically the same thing.
[22:01] Bisco
    Hey, when did you get Actagawa to let you...
[22:05] Bisco
    Those wounds...
[22:10] Milo
    What?
[22:12] Bisco
    Nothing.
[22:36] Milo
    I-I'm hungry.
[22:46] Bisco
    I-It's a watermelon!
[22:48] Milo
    A watermelon?!
[22:56] Bisco
    Hey, wait! That's mine!
[23:01] Bisco
    Hey, wait up!
