Huh?
**[05:01] Toi**
You took a picture just now.
**[05:02] Sara**
N-No, I didn't.
**[05:04] Toi**
Bullshit.
**[05:05] Toi**
Give me that smartphone.
**[05:09] Toi**
No!
**[05:12] Sara**
I'm going to complete
my mission with them, dish.

The more boxes, the happier, dish!
**[05:20] Toi**
Huh? Stop!
**[05:24] Toi**
Shit, where did she go?
***SIGN*** The Prince of the Kappa Kingdom
***SIGN*** Kappa Plaza
***SIGN*** Kappa Plaza
**[05:33] Kazuki**
I pray to connect with them again today.
**[05:36] Toi**
You!
**[05:37] Kazuki**
Huh?
**[05:38] Toi**
Have you seen a girl in a weird outfit?
**[05:41] Kazuki**
N-No...
**[05:46] Toi**
Your smartphone...
**[05:49] Toi**
You're connected to that chick, aren't you?
**[05:51] Kazuki**
I-I don't know what you're talking about.
**[05:58] Toi**
Let's get this over with.
**[06:15] Toi**
What the hell?!
**[06:25] Kazuki**
My classroom?
**[06:27] Kazuki**
I was dreaming.
**[06:33] Kazuki**
Thank goodness.
**[06:34] Enta**
Kazuki!
**[06:36] Kazuki**
Enta...
**[06:37] Enta**
How could you resign from
the club without telling me?
**[06:41] Kazuki**
I was going to talk to you about it later.
**[06:43] Enta**
After the fact?!
**[06:45] Enta**
We've been the golden duo
ever since we were kids!
**[06:48] Sensei**
Morning.
***SIGN*** Kuji Toi
**[06:50] Sensei**
I'm going to introduce
the new transfer student.
**[06:52] Sensei**
Kuji Toi-kun.
***SIGN*** Kuji Toi
**[06:54] Sensei**
Treat him well, everyone.
**[06:59] Kazuki**
It wasn't...
**[07:00] Toi**
...a dream.
**[07:06] Kazuki**
That sound...
***SIGN*** For a kappa, a shower...
***SIGN*** ...makes his dish happy
**[07:21] Sensei**
Okay, next.
**[07:23] Kazuki**
That sound again.
***SIGN*** Kappa sumo
***SIGN*** Dosukoi happy
**[07:29] Kazuki**
Dosukoi.
**[07:44] Kazuki**
Something's calling me.
**[07:59] Sara**
*And for the next story, dish!*
**[08:01] Sara**
* The kappa statue in the shopping district*
* was found destroyed this morning.*
**[08:06] Sara**
*Kapow!*
***SIGN*** Asakusa
***SIGN*** The prince should be in a cold sleep somewhere, dish. Whoever destroyed that will be cursed, dish.
***SIGN*** Someone Destroyed the Kappa Statue
**[08:09] Sara**
* The Asakusa police have no leads as*
* of yet. The investigation is ongoing.*
**[08:10] Enta**
*What am I supposed to do about this?*
**[08:14] Grandma**
Whoever did it is going to get their
Shirikodama sucked out by the kappa.
**[08:19] Enta**
Shirikodama?
**[08:21] Enta**
It's an organ inside the anus of every human.
**[08:24] Otone**
Enta!
**[08:26] Otone**
You wasted money again.
**[08:28] Enta**
What's in the box this time?
**[08:31] Otone**
I didn't, Onee-chan!
**[08:32] Otone**
This is for Kazuki.
**[08:38] Enta**
Wait!
**[08:40] Enta**
My box!
**[08:48] Kazuki**
I definitely hear it coming from the plaza.
**[08:50] Toi**
No one else hears it.
**[08:54] Kazuki**
We must have been cursed by the kappa.
**[08:57] Toi**
There's no such thing as curses!
**[09:06] Kazuki**
It's getting louder.
**[09:09] Kazuki**
The cops are going to arrest
us if they find out, right?
**[09:12] Toi**
I can't let that happen.
**[09:14] Toi**
Ever.
**[09:15] Kazuki**
I can't lose my connection with them, either.
**[09:21] Toi**
Something's coming out.
**[09:22] Kazuki**
A fart?
**[09:27] Kazuki**
What the hell?!
**[09:31] Keppi**
Good morning.
**[09:36] Kazuki**
Huh?
**[09:38] Toi**
This conversation...
**[09:39] Keppi**
I've been waiting for you.
***SIGN*** The Prince of the Kappa Kingdom
**[09:44] Keppi**
I am Keppi, heir to the
throne of the Kappa Kingdom, kero.
**[09:49] Keppi**
I've taken the liberty of erasing
your memories of this morning, kero.
**[09:54] Kazuki**
Our memories?
**[09:55] Keppi**
Erased?
**[09:56] Kazuki**
Just like that.
**[09:59] Keppi**
Now that you know of my existence,
I'll have to do something about you.
**[10:04] Kazuki**
P-Please don't curse me!
***SIGN*** Charm
**[10:06] Keppi**
Still, it must not have been an accident
that you were the ones to awaken me.
**[10:11] Keppi**
And I called you back here for a reason.
**[10:15] Keppi**
Oh, human children, please help me, kero.
**[10:19] Keppi**
I'm begging you, kero.
**[10:24] Toi**
I refuse.
**[10:25] Kazuki**
What? Is that safe to do?
**[10:28] Toi**
I'm not taking orders from some frog.
**[10:30] ---**
I'm not a frog.
**[10:32] Kazuki**
Huh? Frog?
**[10:34] Keppi**
I said, I'm not a goddamn frog!
**[10:39] Kazuki**
This is bad.
**[10:40] Keppi**
How dare you!
**[10:45] Keppi**
Extraction!
**[10:57] ---**
Kero!
***SIGN*** Shirikodama
***SIGN*** Extraction
**[11:30] Kazuki**
Kappa!
**[11:31] Kazuki**
Kuji turned into a kappa!
**[11:37] Kazuki**
A kappa came out!
**[11:39] Toi**
Dude, you're a kappa, too.
**[11:41] Keppi**
Being a prince, I can't help
**[11:44] Keppi**
but lose my temper and remove people's
Shirikodama when I'm called a frog, kero.
**[11:51] Kazuki**
O-Oh, no!
**[11:55] Keppi**
This is the Field of Desires, kero.
**[11:58] Keppi**
Humans can see neither
this world nor the kappas, kero.
**[12:04] Keppi**
In other words, you are
as dead as you are alive, kero.
**[12:08] Kazuki**
As dead as we are...
**[12:09] Toi**
...alive?
**[12:11] Enta**
Stop! My box!
**[12:14] Kazuki**
Enta!
**[12:15] Kazuki**
It's me!
**[12:17] Keppi**
He can't see you, kero.
**[12:20] Keppi**
Here.
**[12:24] Enta**
It's a huge frog!
**[12:25] Keppi**
I'm not a goddamn frog!
***SIGN*** Desire
**[12:36] Sara**
*And now for the next story, dish.*
***SIGN*** Nationwide Traffic Safety Happening Now
**[12:38] Sara**
* There are boxes flying*
* all throughout Asakusa.*
***SIGN*** Asakusa
***SIGN*** You need boxes for when you're buying in bulk, dish. I buy the chocolate bar Black Thund3r in bulk. It's a secret I can't tell anyone. You also need boxes for eloping, dish.
***SIGN*** Seriously? Flying Boxes
**[12:43] Sara**
*Kapow!*
**[12:46] Keppi**
I just sucked out another
silly Shirikodama, kero.
**[12:50] Kazuki**
So what's this "Shirikodama" thing?
**[12:52] Keppi**
It's an organ that stores human desire.
**[12:58] Toi**
Make us normal, right now!
**[13:02] Kazuki**
My box!
**[13:03] Keppi**
That's a kappa zombie underling, kero.
**[13:06] Keppi**
The humans can't see them, either, kero.
***SIGN*** Azumabashi Hakoda Osamaru
***SIGN*** Toi's Desires
**[13:10] Toi**
They got my box, too.
**[13:11] Keppi**
Come with me if you want your boxes back, kero.
**[13:12] ---**
Uh...
***SIGN*** Kappa
**[13:24] Keppi**
I'll have you fight the kappa zombies, kero.
**[13:28] Keppi**
They're trying to satiate their
desires from when they were living, kero.
**[13:33] Keppi**
The kappa zombies can be defeated
by removing their Shirikodama, kero.
***SIGN*** Azumabashi @ Field of Desires
**[13:37] Keppi**
Now that you've become kappas,
you can do that, kero.
***SIGN*** Box Zombie
**[13:41] Toi**
We're taking back what they took from us.
**[13:43] Toi**
That's all.

I can't let them have that box.
***SIGN*** Kaminarimon

I don't want anyone to learn my secret.
**[15:18] Kazuki**

It's your fault for having a secret

that could get you in trouble!
***SIGN*** Butt

Got it!
**[15:37] Toi**
Pull!
**[15:39] Kazuki**
Damn it, he's not coming out.

We're taking this Shirikodama out,
no matter what.

So that I can connect with them!

them over his head while being naked.
**[16:13] Box**
My embarrassing secret's gotten out!
***SIGN*** Butt
**[16:25] Kazuki**
Yes! We got it out!
**[16:32] Keppi**
Transfer the Shirikodama to me
before it melts completely, kero.
**[16:38] Keppi**
Do the sarazanmai, kero.
**[16:40] Keppi**
What the hell is the sarazanmai?
**[16:42] Enta**
Yeah, what?

What was that thing I saw when

**[19:17] Keppi**
"Sarazanmai" refers to a connection
of mind and soul.
**[19:23] Keppi**
You share all your deepest secrets as well.
**[19:27] Enta**
So the stuff in your box, Kazuki...
**[19:30] Kazuki**
That's right.
**[19:31] Kazuki**
I dress up as Azuma Sara and take selfies.
**[19:35] Kazuki**
I'm messed up.
**[19:36] Enta**
D-Don't worry about it.
**[19:38] Enta**
Yeah, it shocked me, but that
doesn't change our friendship.
**[19:43] Toi**
Are you serious?
**[19:45] Toi**
He's practically living
as a cross-dressing idol.
**[19:48] Enta**
Our bond is stronger than you think.
**[19:52] Enta**
You're one to talk, Kuji.
**[19:53] Enta**
Breaking into cars is a crime.
**[19:55] Toi**
You're in no position to lecture me.
**[19:58] Enta**
Say what?
**[19:59] Kazuki**
Shut up!
**[20:01] Kazuki**
Shut up, shut up!
**[20:02] Kazuki**
Quit talking out of your ass!
**[20:04] Kazuki**
I never asked anyone to understand me.
**[20:08] Kazuki**
This is my own business.
**[20:09] Kazuki**
It's the connection between me and Harukappa.
**[20:12] Kazuki**
For that, I'll pretend to be anything!

Goodnight, Sara-chan.
