[01:52] Shikishima
    Help me!
[01:57] Nuts
    You planning to kidnap
    children too, you gangsters?
[02:00] Nuts
    We'll fill you full of holes and
    send you back to Kurokawa's!
[02:04] Kousuke
    Nuts...
[02:06] Bisco
    Who is this "Kurokawa"?
[02:08] Milo
    The governor of Imihama.
[02:10] Milo
    They say his reelection is guaranteed,
[02:13] Milo
    though that's just because all
    the other candidates went missing.
[02:17] Bisco
    I dunno where you got that wrong idea,
[02:20] Bisco
    but stop pointing weapons at travelers!
[02:22] Bisco
    We're just trying to get to Akita!
[02:25] Nuts
    Quit lying!
[02:26] Nuts
    No one heading north would pass
     through the Calvero Shellsand Sea,
[02:30] Nuts
    where water and food are scarce!
[02:33] Bisco
    Everyone has their own
    reasons for doing stuff, y'know!
[02:36] Bisco
    Though, yeah, it's true that
     we could use some food.
[02:40] Bisco
    But we have money, so please spare some.
[02:43] Nuts
    No way you've got much
    money walking around like that.
[02:47] Nuts
    Now hurry up and let Kousuke go!
[02:49] Bisco
    Guess you're in your rebellious phase.
[02:52] Bisco
    Whatever. Good thing I saved a copy.

[02:56] Bisco
    I'm Akaboshi Bisco, the man-eating
    redcap causing chaos all over Japan!
[03:02] Bisco
    If you manage to take me to Imihama alive,
    you'll get an 800,000-sol reward!
[03:07] Milo
    Hey, wh-what are you doing, Bisco?!
[03:10] Nuts
    Akaboshi?
[03:11] Kewpie
    The man-eating redcap, Akaboshi?
[03:13] Plum
    The real deal?
[03:14] Kids
    Wow!
[03:14] Kids
    Really?!
[03:19] Bisco
    See? It all worked out.
[03:22] Milo
    You call this "working out"?
[03:25] Nuts
    The fishermen of Calvero
    always keep their word.
[03:28] Nuts
    We'll give you food, so behave yourselves
    until we turn you over to the authorities.
[03:33] Milo
    Thank you for looking after us.
[03:39] Plum
    What an amazing man.

[03:55] Kids
    Who is it?
[04:04] Milo
    This town has kind of a strange shape.
[04:08] Plum
    It was carved out of a piece of Tetsujin
     that landed here after the explosion.
[04:13] Plum
    That's what the adults said long ago.

[04:21] Nuts
    Akaboshi, you go here.
[04:24] Nuts
    Kousuke, come with me.
[04:26] Nuts
    Plum, you keep an eye on
     White Panda down there!
[05:09] Shikishima
    Thank you so much. You saved our lives.
[05:13] Pawoo
    I just happened to be passing by.
    There's no need to thank me.
[05:20] Shikishima
    The bandits' trap was still there, wasn't it?
[05:24] Pawoo
    Bandits?
[05:25] Pawoo
    You mean that pile of corpses?
[05:27] Shikishima
    They used this place as a base
    to attack traders passing through.
[05:33] Shikishima
    Serves 'em right.
[05:35] Shikishima
    Hey, I know.
[05:36] Shikishima
    If you like, why don't you come to
     our place? You can fix it up there.
[05:40] Pawoo
    Really?
[05:41] Etsuko
    Yes, it's just up ahead.
[05:49] Milo
    This is good!
[05:51] Plum
    You're exaggerating.
    It's just clams simmered in milk.
[05:58] Milo
    Thank you.
[05:59] Milo
    But are you sure?
[06:02] Plum
    I had no choice. You looked
    like you were going to drop it.
[06:08] Milo
    Hey, aren't there any adults here?
[06:12] Milo
    You're all armed, too.
    Do bandits strike out here?
[06:17] Plum
    Schools of flying blowfish rise up in winter.
[06:19] Milo
    Flying blowfish?
[06:21] Plum
    They eat several people every year,
[06:25] Plum
    and our weapons are getting old,
[06:27] Plum
    so we don't know if we'll
    make it through this winter.
[06:31] Milo
    Let me see that.
[06:35] Plum
    I-It's been like this forever.
[06:38] Plum
    It's not just me. Everyone has it.
[06:41] Plum
    It's called Rusting, right?
[06:43] Milo
    Huh?
[06:45] Plum
    That's what the Imihama army
    said when they barged in here.
[06:49] Plum
    The medicine costs a fortune,
    so all the adults left to earn money.
[06:53] Plum
    That's why they're all forced to wear those
    strange masks by the governor, Kurokawa.
[06:59] Milo
    Kurokawa? How could he do this to children?
[07:07] Milo
    Plum, the disease you all have isn't Rusting.
[07:12] Plum
    Huh?
[07:15] Etsuko
    Here you go. Drink up.
[07:18] Shikishima
    We used to live in that apartment block.
[07:23] Shikishima
    After everyone was gone, we moved here.
[07:29] Pawoo
    What on earth happened here?
[07:32] Etsuko
    A mass outbreak of Rusting.
[07:36] Pawoo
    I see. Here, too, huh?
[07:39] Shikishima
    It's all his fault.
[07:41] Pawoo
    "His"?
[07:43] Etsuko
    Our town was wiped out by a Mushroom
     Keeper who just showed up one day.
[07:57] Etsuko
    Around here, we didn't used to fear
    Mushroom Keepers as much as we do now.
[08:04] Shikishima
    He stayed in one of the apartment blocks
    and used mushrooms to treat illnesses.
[08:13] Shikishima
    At first, it looked like they
    were definitely doing some good.
[08:17] Shikishima
    But then...
[08:23] Shikishima
    When we investigated later,
[08:24] Shikishima
    it turned out that everyone the Mushroom
    Keeper had given medicine to had Rust all over.
[08:31] Shikishima
    Everyone still alive fled,
[08:35] Shikishima
    and before we knew it,
    it was just the two of us left.
[08:40] Shikishima
    Then the Mushroom Keeper
    came to us and said,
[08:45] Shikishima
    "Thank you. That experiment was worthwhile."
[08:50] Pawoo
    That bastard.
[08:51] Pawoo
    So the Mushroom Keepers
    really are spreading Rust.
[08:56] Shikishima
    The two of us came over here after that.
[08:59] Shikishima
    We had a lot of memories
     in this place, you see.
[09:03] Etsuko
    It was our dream to fix this place up one day.
[09:08] Etsuko
    We hoped that if we did, people
    would return to this town once more.
[09:13] Shikishima
    That's why we occasionally pick up
    things we think might be useful.
[09:19] Shikishima
    Like the playground equipment outside,
    which we repaired and improved ourselves.
[09:30] Bisco
    What the hell?!
[09:35] Bisco
    You brats get to eat stuff
     this good all the time?
[09:39] Nuts
    We're not brats!
[09:40] Nuts
    We're proud Calvero fishermen.
[09:43] Bisco
    That was great.
[09:45] Bisco
    More.
[09:46] Nuts
    Y-You...
[09:47] Nuts
    Don't you realize the position you're in?
[09:52] Bisco
    The weapon on that wall over
    there is a pretty nasty piece.
[09:57] Nuts
    That's my dad's harpoon.
[09:59] Nuts
    He was the best fisherman
    here, and our chief.
[10:03] Nuts
    He stood up to the Imihama army
     and got his head blown off.
[10:08] Nuts
    It's a great harpoon.
[10:10] Nuts
    That harpoon and my grudge are
    the two things I never want to rust.
[10:15] Nuts
    That's why I keep it on display.
[10:18] Bisco
    Your memories aside, it's a great harpoon.
[10:21] Bisco
    Give it to me.
[10:22] Nuts
    Wh-What?!
[10:24] Bisco
    There's no point in putting it on display.
[10:26] Bisco
    A pipsqueak like you would be
     out of your depth wielding it.
[10:29] Bisco
    It's better if I use it.
[10:31] Nuts
    How dare you?!
[10:32] Kousuke
    Nuts!
[10:42] Pawoo
    All right.
[11:16] Pawoo
    Excuse me.
[11:17] Pawoo
    I'd like to ask a question—
[11:25] Shikishima
    Ecchan.
[11:26] Shikishima
    Did that woman drink the tea?
[11:29] Etsuko
    Don't worry.
[11:31] Etsuko
    I sneaked a peek at her cup, and it was empty.
[11:34] Shikishima
    That iron pole of hers was like an oni's club.
[11:38] Shikishima
    Real scary.
[11:40] Etsuko
    Then let's turn that woman
    into a statue of a female oni.
[11:46] Etsuko
    Oh?
[11:47] Etsuko
    All done with the repairs to your bike?
[11:50] Pawoo
    What is this place?
[11:52] Shikishima
    A shelter.
[11:54] Shikishima
    It's an ideal dwelling because we
    don't have to worry about Rust here.
[11:58] Pawoo
    It appears you two are the ones
    who have been acting like bandits.
[12:03] Pawoo
    I can't look the other way
    now that I know you're evil.
[12:07] Etsuko
    Die!
[12:12] Etsuko
    It's starting to work.
[12:15] Shikishima
    We put poison in the tea you just drank!
[12:20] Shikishima
    What? How...
[12:22] Pawoo
    The Rust in my chest was
    just aching a bit, that's all.
[12:25] Pawoo
    I'm not so reckless as to gulp down
    tea that might be poisoned.
[12:29] Pawoo
    So you two really were
    the ones who set that trap.
[12:32] Etsuko
    Shou-chan!
[12:36] Etsuko
    Shou-chan, this way!
[12:38] Pawoo
    Wait!
[12:46] Sign
    EXIT
[12:50] Shikishima
    Ecchan, we might be done for.
[12:53] Shikishima
    I don't think we can beat this woman.
[12:56] Etsuko
    You might be right. I guess we'll
    just have to go with that plan.
[13:01] Shikishima
    We always talked about how this day
    would probably come sooner or later.
[13:07] Shikishima
    The two of us can live
    all by ourselves in here.
[13:11] Shikishima
    We won't bother anyone anymore.
[13:14] Shikishima
    In return, we ask you to
    please stop bothering us, as well.
[13:19] Shikishima
    Goodbye.
[13:21] Pawoo
    What selfish drivel are you—
[13:35] Kids
    Nuts!
[13:37] Kids
    Hey, Nuts!
[13:41] Nuts
    What are you all screaming about?!
[13:43] KidA
    Look at this, Nuts! My arm!
[13:46] KidA
    See? It's completely healed!
    I can move it again!
[13:50] KidB
    That White Panda must be
    Buddha or Christ or something!
[13:53] KidB
    He healed us all in an instant!
[13:56] Nuts
    What? Don't be stupid!
[13:59] Nuts
    Kousuke! You watch Akaboshi.

    Yeah, kinda.
[14:17] Bisco
    When my mentor and I passed through
    Mie from Nara, we took the subway.
[14:21] Bisco
    I think it was called the
     Keikyuu Benibashi Line.
[14:23] Kousuke
    Huh? You got an abandoned line moving?!
[14:26] Kousuke
    That's incredible!
[14:27] Kousuke
    Hey, you're a Mushroom Keeper, right?
[14:30] Bisco
    You're not afraid of Mushroom Keepers?
[14:33] Kousuke
    M-My father once told me that when
     I nearly died from an illness long ago,
[14:38] Kousuke
    it was a Mushroom Keeper who healed me.
[14:41] Kousuke
    So I've always wanted to
    talk to a Mushroom Keeper,
[14:46] Kousuke
    since one of them saved my life.
[14:49] Kousuke
    Oh, I know! You're going north, right?
[14:51] Kousuke
    Then take this map with you.
[14:54] Kousuke
    I-It has all the subway
    stations in Touhoku on it.
[14:59] Bisco
    Look, kid. I'm a prisoner, remember?
[15:02] Kousuke
    I've looked at it so much,
     I've got it all memorized.
[15:07] Kousuke
    My father always said he wanted to
    repay the Mushroom Keepers one day.
[15:12] Kousuke
    A-And even though my father died,
[15:15] Kousuke
    I can repay the favor for him!
[15:19] Kousuke
    I-I need to go pee real quick!
[15:22] Bisco
    Hey! Shouldn't you be watching me?!
[15:25] Kousuke
    Please don't run away!
[15:31] Bisco
    Okay, then...
[15:33] Nuts
    Wh-What on earth...
[15:36] Milo
    It wasn't Rusting afflicting all of you.
[15:40] Milo
    It was a simple case of shellskin.
[15:42] Milo
    Anyone with an ounce of
    medical knowledge could cure it.
[15:46] Milo
    This is the medicine for shellskin.
[15:49] Milo
    I've written down how to synthesize it here.
[15:52] Plum
    Are you some kind of angel?
[15:55] KidA
    Hey, Nuts.
[15:56] KidA
    He's cured everyone in town.
[15:59] KidA
    We should thank him.
[16:01] KidC
    That's right, Nuts. We should
     do something to thank him.
[16:05] Nuts
    Is there anything you want?
[16:09] Milo
    There is just one thing.
[16:11] Milo
    My partner, Akaboshi Bisco.
[16:13] Milo
    I'd like you to free him
    and hand him over to me.
[16:17] KidB
    Oh, Akaboshi?
[16:19] KidB
    Oh, yeah, he was with you, huh?
[16:20] KidC
    The two of them look
    nothing alike, so I forgot.
[16:23] KidA
    Well, it's what our savior wants.
[16:25] KidA
    So why not?
[16:26] Nuts
    We can't!
[16:28] Nuts
    If we don't secure weapons using
     the 800,000-sol reward for him,
[16:31] Nuts
    the school of flying blowfish will
    come and devour this whole town!
[16:37] Nuts
    If there's nothing else, then we're done here.
[16:43] Kousuke
    It's the blowfish!
[16:45] Kousuke
    The blowfish are here!
[16:51] Plum
    But why? It's the middle of summer!
[16:54] Nuts
    Because the abnormal weather
    this year meant less food for them.
[16:57] Nuts
    I'll shoot them from up top. You all stay here.
[17:05] Kewpie
    Damn it, we're out of bullets!

    not decorate a wall with it and your grudges!

[18:02] Bisco
    That crap doesn't work on me.
[18:05] Bisco
    Nor do those completely rusted bars.
[18:08] Bisco
    Kousuke, I looked at that map
    of yours, but it's defective.
[18:13] Kousuke
    Huh? B-But that can't be!
[18:16] Bisco
    It doesn't have any furigana
    over the station names.
[18:19] Kousuke
    W-Wait, you can't read kanji?
[18:22] Bisco
    Let's do a trade! My bow for your info.
[18:26] Bisco
    I'll fire one arrow for every station you
     can name on the Toubu Shirakaba Line.
[18:29] Kousuke
    Huh?!
[18:31] Bisco
    Well, hurry up and start talking
    before your friends get eaten.
[18:34] Bisco
    And go in order.
    You memorized them all, right?
[18:37] Kousuke
    O-Okay, got it. The first station

    I'll never forget this day as long as I live!
[19:25] Kousuke
    You were incredible, dude!
[19:28] Bisco
    If a Mushroom Keeper needs your help
     again in the future, help 'em out.
[19:34] Bisco
    That's how bonds and connections are formed.
[19:38] Bisco
    That's what my own mentor told me.
[19:41] Kousuke
    Yeah! Got it!
[19:46] Bisco

[19:56] Bisco
    Milo, enough detours! Let's go!
[19:59] Milo
    Yeah.
[20:02] Plum
    Please stay here.
[20:05] Plum
    This town needs you.
[20:08] Milo
    What this town needs is you, not me.
[20:13] Milo
    You have a kind heart capable of caring
    about others in this run-down world.
[20:19] Milo
    That's more than enough
    to qualify you as a doctor.
[20:24] Plum
    Hey, will we ever meet again?
[20:27] Milo
    You'll meet someone.
[20:29] Milo
    Someone much more amazing than me.
[20:34] Nuts
    Akaboshi!
[20:38] Bisco
    You decided to hand it over in the end, huh?
[20:40] Nuts
    Don't get the wrong idea!
    I was trying to kill you with it!
[20:44] Bisco
    Why can't you just say,
    "Thank you for saving our town"?
[20:50] Bisco
    Annoying brat. Christ.
[20:54] Milo
    Just can't be honest, huh?
[20:56] Bisco
    Seriously.
[20:59] Bisco
    Wait, which of us do you mean?
[21:03] Kurokawa
    So much for "I'm sure I took out
    the old man he's partners with."
[21:08] Kurokawa
    What a completely useless jellyfish.
