[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!

[02:33] 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!

[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.

[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. [04:17] Case     Liquid Bonecoal [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!

[14:13] Kousuke     Y-You recognize it from there? [14:15] Bisco     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.

[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.
