--------------------- p.130 TV: Today, large locust swarms were again found at the reclaimed land at Tokyo Bay. There are fears that the locusts would reach Tokyo proper, the Metropolitan Police Office said. The Tokyo Fire Department is evacuating all residents in the vicinity. TV: Coming to you live from Wagan. We can see a considerable number of swarms here, and we cannot approach to the site any further. --------------------- p.131 TV: The Tokyo Fire Department has sent fire boats loaded with insecticide. Minion: Will the two be alright? Minion: We are not going to do anything? Shunkai-sama! If that Sanjiyan girl died, your Highness could not become the second Benares! Wong: Calm down. Wong: All it involves is taking the dagger from that brat and closing the "Gate to the Holy Land". We must have confidence in their strength. Minion: Their strength... --------------------- p.132 Pai: Yakumo! Yakumo: Urggghhhhh... Pai!! Run!! Pai!! Pai: No! I'll stay with Yakumo!

--------------------- p.149 Captain: What? What happened over there? Fireman: I don't know! Maybe something inside the locust swarm exploded. Captain: All these locusts, and now an explosion? Jesus Christ! Captain: Calling Harbor Office, this is an emergency!! Captain: Requesting the chemical fire extinguisher!! Abort the insecticide!! Fireman: But, Captain!! Captain: Silence!! It was methane gas which caught fire, it was released from the buried trash. If the fire spreads to other uninflammable trash, dioxin could be released!! Go!! [Dioxin: Defoliant used in the Vietnam War. Highly toxic.] --------------------- p.150 Sakuko: Hnheheheheh.

--------------------- p.165 Yakumo: Konron... Yakumo: ... Yakumo: is a dangerous place. Naparvha and the others have certainly shrouded it in darkness. --------------------- p.166 Yakumo: Although there's some restrictions on the destination, it's possible to go to any place you want via the Holy Land. It's just like the magic door in Doraemon. [Doraemon: One of the most popular and longest-running kids' manga. Doraemon is a cat-like robot from the future. His magic door is the most commonly used tool in the stories. -PY] Yakumo: (It's just as well Konron appeared above reclaimed land this time. If it had been above some military base or nuclear power station, I alone would have been unable to do anything..) Yakumo: First of all, if the Konron's presence was made known, it'd be exploited by some terrorist or military group. It's just as bad as the presence of nuclear missiles. --------------------- p.167 Pai: Thank you for all the hard work. Thanks, Yakumo. Yakumo: Pa... Yakumo: ... Yakumo: Waaaa-hh!! Yakumo: Damn it!! Turn around, turn around!! Pai: !? --------------------- p.168 Pai: What's wrong, Yakumo? Hurry up and let me treat your wounds. Pai has made some effective medicine for wounds. Yakumo: No, no, no. I don't need it! Step back! Step back! Pai: Nah! Yakumo: You silly... Yakumo: Wah! --------------------- p.169 Yakumo: <gasping noises> Pai: Hmm? What on earth was THAT? Yakumo: Sheeeesh, you... A girl like you shouldn't be so curious! --------------------- p.170 (Shinjuku News Height) TV: There were concerns that the locusts from Tokyo Bay would reach Tokyo proper, but this morning it was confirmed that a sudden fire at the reclaimed land has annihilated all the locusts. Background: Super-Time Small words: Kanossa (?) stop it! Marketing Paradise comes back! Bottom: AH! I can't remember Ueda-san's face... TV: There was a poisionous gas emission after the fire. It's fortunate that fire boats reached the site in time and put the fire out. Newspaper: Takada Yuzah... work amount.... "Mainichi ga Nichiyoubi" on sale on 8/20. ["MgN" is one of Takada's early works. Note the little self-portrait! -IS] --------------------- p.171 Kimie: So the crisis is over, right? Wong: It seems that way... What are the two of them going to do? Kimie: Well... Kimie: What are they going to do? Looks like Yakumo has decided to say goodbye to his friends, and has resumed his travels. --------------------- p.172 Kimie: Why does he travel so much... Wong: He spent 4 years travelling around the world and investigating things. Yet the "Sanjiyan Humanization Rite" is still a mystery. Paper: Eyewitness accounts of mysterious flying objects above the reclaimed land. Mystery of Locusts. UFO theory?! Wong: Come to think of it, it's too dangerous for them to live with ordinary people. Kimie: Yes, I agree. Kimie: Could I ask "Yougekisha" to take care of these two? Wong: Sure. That's the reason I came here. Kimie: Really? Then I'll ask the lads in Sassoku-gumi [=a yakuza gang] for fake passports... --------------------- p.173 Yakumo: Hongkong? Yakumo: What's up, Pai? <gag/snore> Yakumo: You... Leaving all the serious problems to me while you sleep like a baby. You're so cunning! I even broke the promise with my friends... Yakumo: Sakuko... would she think that I've died? I feel sorry for everybody... Sanjiyan: Well, now... It's all your fault!! --------------------- p.174 Sanjiyan: You are but scum, scum in collusion with jackasses!! Yakumo: Waaahhh!! Sanjiyan: Failing to honor the proud mission of the "Wu", you wilfully overlook your own stupidity. Where are the serious problems!! Yakumo: Er, well... Sanjiyan: When my memory is fully restored, I shall bother you no longer. Can you begin to understand Pai's solitude, living alone in the Holy Land?? Yakumo: Waaahhh! I'm sorry!! --------------------- p.175 Sanjiyan: After all, I should praise you for your splendid efforts against Taisoei. I permit you to come with me. You must bring the dagger of Konron. Sanjiyan: Now we can start our journey. But first, I have to get ready!! Wait for me at that nearby park. Yakumo: Oh... Yakumo: YES!! --------------------- p.176 Yakumo: (Ah! It's been a long wait, Pai... But I won't let you leave me again!! No matter what's waiting in store for us, I will definitely...) Yakumo: (And then, we will become human... Pai...) --------------------- p.177 Yakumo: How come she's so late? What's she doing? Sign: Mr.Lady's Bar -Culture Shock- Kimie: What? Yakumo's arm was cut off and burnt at the trash dump? Are you trying out some infantile prank on me? Sakuko: But... Friend A: But I did see Fujii, with a girl, carry a man and his arm... Sakuko: Somehow I was brought back to my home later... Kimie: To be honest, although I was told not to say it... HE ran away last night. --------------------- p.178 Friend A: RAN.. Friend B: ..A... Sakuko: ..WAY?? Kimie: He borrowed too much money... since he was concerned that you guys might get involved with his problems... he left Tokyo during the night... He can't see you again. Sakuko: I see... actually, I feel kinda relieved. From the very beginning, Mr. Fujii had been worrying... Sakuko: But it's OK now. Fujii-kun chose his girl instead of the restaurant.. that's really good. Sakuko: As long as he lives, he'll definitely come back sometime and open a restuarant with us. --------------------- p.179 Friends: Ah! Definitely... Sign: Culture Shock: Reserved Tonight) Kimie: Hmph! Wong: How was it? Kimie: I said something and sent them away.. --------------------- p.180 Sanjiyan: Puwah...^_^ ^_^ Dear me, I've been living this way for 4 years, and now I love this kind of life. However, when that guy's around, Pai's consciousness becomes too strong and I can't come out! Sanjiyan: Hark! At least I'll have some fun tonight! Kimie: Do you think it's OK? Wong: W-well... Narration: Now a new journey has begun (from where?) Yakumo: .......

Yotsuya: Unnnn.....
pg. 184)
Yotsuya: Afu..
Yotsuya: What an empty life I lead, living alone here. Without
thinking I drank too much again last night.
Yotsuya: But what am I doing sleeping on the sofa. (uhn, what
a hangover).
pg. 186)
Yotsuya: Wah!
Yotsuya: Whats going on here....
Sign: Yotsuya Keiichiro (Unsure about first name).
Yotsuya: Well it is my apartment. But why is there this girl
I don't even know in my bed?
pg. 187)
Yotsuya: Let's see, yesterday....
Yotsuya: yak, yak, yak...
Sanjiyan: he he he he....
Yotsuya: And because of that I think that the Earth's environment
is become like that. In the end, as long as there
are people, the world won't be pretty.
Sanjiyan: Un hun, yu hun. Humans are just parasites on this plant.
I'll wipe them out for you.
pg. 188)
Yotsuya: You can really talk can't you. I like you. For such
a pretty face you reall have a venemous toung. And
that ornament on your forehead is the best.
Yotsuya: If you ever have any problems, just let me know
and I will help you out.
Card: Yominichi Newspaper Company
Culture Depatment Journalist
Yotsuya Keiichiro
[The name "Yominichi" comes from merging the names
of two real-life Tokyo newspapers, the "Yomiuri"
and the "Mainichi".]
Sanjiyan: Hmmm, a reporter....
Sanjiyan: all right, in substitute for a card, take this.
It's a charm.
Sanjiyan: This should be enough to protect you from
weak monsters.
Yotsuya: Ho ho, thank you very much. I'm deeply moved.
Haa, tonight we're having a real feast.
Yotsuya: Let's drink!! Let's get thoroghly drunk.
pg. 189)
Yotsuya: I am the worst. Bringing home a woman I picked
up at a bar to my own home.
Yotsuya: Well, I guess I'd better be off to work.
Pai: Good morning Yakumo!!
Yotsuya: Wa!!
pg. 190)
Pai: Eiiiii! Ojisan! Who are you!! ["Ojisan" literaly
means "uncle", but is used to refer in general to
men in thier 30's and 40's].
Yotsuya: Don't make such a commotion when you look like that.
Yotsuya: I don't know about young ladies these days, but
this ojisan has a reputation to keep.
Yotsuya: It seems that you too have forgotten. That last night
we hit it off talking at a bar!? I'm not a dangerous
person.
Pai: I feel awful. My head is throbing.
Yotsuya: Give me a break. If I don't leave soon I'm going
to be late.
pg. 191)
Yotsuya: All right, go ahead and rest. When you feel better
go on home. Leave the key in the newspaper box.
Pai: Go home.... how?
Yotsuya: Taxi money!! (The bill is a 10,000 yen note, about $100).
pg. 192)
Boss: Hey, Yotsuya!! How is the story on the environmental
problem comming?
Yotsuya: Terrible... Can you take a look at this...
pg. 193)
Yotsuya: I'm trying to write a warning that Japan alone in one
day uses enough wood imported from Malasia to fill the
Tokyo dome 480 times. But someone who wastes as much
paper as I do isn't in a position to be critisizing.
Boss: Fool!! So what!! The deadline won't wait!!
Yotsuya: I'm more suited as a field reporter.
Boss: You came here because you haven't come up with a single
scoop aren't you. Stop your complaining and write the
artical. The artical.
Yotsuya[thinking]: A scoop....
Yotsuya[thinking]: Since I was a kid, that was my dream...
Yotsuya[thinking]: To have the top story on page one be written
by my own hand. But after seven years here...
nothing.
pg. 194)
Yotsuya[thinking]: ...not returning to the society department, ...
no desire for women, ... so is this what has become
of my life?
Co-worker: Hey, Yotsuya! Wanna' go get somthing to drink?
Yotsuya: Nah, today I'm going to go home. (I don't have
any money anyway).
Yotsuya[thinking]: And furthermore, I wonder what happended to
that girl.
Yotsuya[thinking]: She was a strange one, but kind of cute.
pg. 195)
Yotsuya: What is this! The door isn't locked.
Yotsuya: Hehh... That girl cleaned up for me. I guess she
felt in debt for the meal and the nights rest.
Unusual for young women these days.
Yotsuya: Yaa.. I'm quite grateful..
pg. 196)
Yotsuya: Hey! What happened! What are you doing here?
Yotsuya: Woah! What a feaver!
Pai: Ah ha! sorry [slurred].
Pai: I tried to go home, but I couldn't get through with
my telepathy and neither Feiou(flying jaw), nor
Takuhi came.
Yotsuya: Never mind about that, just keep calm.
Yotsuya: So I guess your lost then, huh?
Book: Cooking Today - Home cooking for one.
pg. 197)
Yotsuya: You don't know at all? Is it Tokyo?
Pai: I used to be in Shinjuku, but now I'm living
in a secret hide out.
Yotsuya: Hide out....?
Pai: Since Pai is a Sanjiyanunkara, everyone is after
Pai. Therefore, I have to hide.
Yotsuya: Ummm. This old fogey here isn't up an all the
latest words, but what is "Pai"? The thing you eat?
Pai: Ah ha ha. Sorry. That's my name.... I'm Pai.
As the professor says, I'm the last of the mystical
race, Sanjiyanunkara.
pg. 198)
Pai: The Sanjiyanunkara have the power to make living
things immortal. The professor says that's
why everyone is after Pai.
Pai: But that's OK. I'm going to become human soon.
Pai: Yakumo promissed, "I will make you human no
matter what".
Pai: In order to do that, you need to use the "statue
of humanity", but how you use it, Pai has
no idea.
Pai: Thus, I've been on a quest with with Yakumo to
find out how to use it.
Yotsuya: I just can't understand young people these days.
pg. 199)
Yotsuya: First of all, who is this "professor"?
Pai: Yakumo's father. He died in Tibet.
Yotsuya: Okey... and Yakumo, who's he?
Pai: Pai's number one dachinko! ["dachinko"="friend",
see the 3x3 Eyes page for a more detailed
explaination].
Yotsuya: Shiiit! Now that I think of it, I don't have
any rice so I can't even make okayu ["okayu" is
a kind of rice gruel. It's often used as a
home cold remedy like chicken soup in the US].
[The package he is getting out is "Sapporo" instant ramen].
pg. 200)
Pai: Yakumo...
Yotsuya: A lost, lost kitten... What shall I do?

pg. 202) Co-worker: Are you playing hookey? Yotsuya: Don't joke! It's a cold, a cold!! Yotsuya: It's the truth I tell you. Well, I don't want to brag, but even if I did go into work, my job isn't exactly all that important anyway. Besides, I have another good reason for deliberately using a holiday. pg. 203) Yotsuya: At any rate, if I say it's a cold, it's a cold 39! 39 degrees (centegrade)! Woah! What a temperature! I said I'm taking the day of, take care of my desk for me. Yotsuya[remembering Pai's words]: Pai is a member of the immortality power weilding Sanjiyanunkara. Therefore, until Pai becomes human, everyone is after her. Yotsuya: In the bar, she wasn't like this at all. Her imagination must be playing tricks on here with that fever. pg. 204) Yotsuya: If there really are things after the immortality power, then that's something I'd like to see. pg. 205) Yotsuya: I must be getting a little tipsy. Yotsuya: Well what should I expect drinking all this alcohol. I've got to think of what to do with this girl. pg. 206) Pai: Good morning! Yotsuya: Hey! Pai: Thanks very much for yesterday. I don't have a way to thank you today, but... Yotsuya: Hmmm. Yotsuya: Well, the fever seems to be down a bit, but today you should probably rest a bit more. Do you want to go to a doctor? Pai: That's all right. Thanks. But if I stay here I'll be an inconvenience to you. Yotsuya: Hey! Where are you going? Yotsuya: Do you even have a place to go? You're lost aren't you? Yotsuya: You must be hungry. How about having some rice[i.e., grub] and then going to the doctor. pg. 207) Pai: By rice(grub) do you mean rice(food)? Yotsuya: uh, yeah. Pai: Like, choushoku (breakfast in Japanese), and breakfast (in English) and zaofan (breakfast in Chinese). Yotsuya: Yeah, I think so. Pai: Like, rice and noodles and bread and beef and fish and, and,.... Pai: No! No! Pai!! Stop it!! You've got to go. This man will also be in danger if you don't. Yotsuya: What weirdo... Not the type that I want to spend too much time with. Pai: Sorry, mister!! Someday I promise I'll come to repay you. Yotsuya: Hey! pg. 208) Yotsuya: Is this some kind of joke. I can't just leave sick girl to herself. Yotsuya: Hey! Where did you go Pai! pg. 209) Yotsuya: Uhh... Pai: Oh good! Your alive. Your legs broken, but your alive. Pai: Good.... pg. 210) Yotsuya: You really are a strange one, aren't you. You feel so deeply. pg. 211) Pai: Heh heh... But you are pretty unusual too mister. Coming with me to help me find my way home. Pai: Even though your not my dachinko (friend) why are you so kind. Yotsuya: I'm not nearly as nice as you are... and stop calling me "mister", I have a name you know. Yotsuya Keiichiro. Call me Keiichiro ["Keiichiro" is his given name]. Pai: Pai, by all means, will do something to repay you. Keiichiro, what do you want most of all. Yotsuya: A scoop! Yotsuya: As a present you can restore me to the society department. Pai: Scoop.... pg. 212) Pai: By "scoop" do mean like that commercial that Kyonkyon does... Yotsuya: That's "soup"!! Pai: Then do you mean those things that Mr. Malick bends... Yotsuya: That's "spoon"!! Yotsuya: Well, it was a joke, a joke. I don't need an thanks. I just want to get you home. Yotsuya: Well, do you recognize anything here? Pai: No, it's no good. Mama's store is no longer around, and I don't know where Yakumo lives... Yotsuya: Well it can't be helped... The only place I know is the bar where we met. Message board: To Yakumo, went to the "WFF" bar in Shibuya. Pai. pg. 213) Yotsuya: You can't remember anything. Not even which direction you came here from? Pai: un unh. Yotsuya: Maybe if we get drunk again like before you will be able to remember. Yotsuya: A joke, a joke. Pai: That's right. Inside Pai, there's another Pai. pg. 214) Yotsuya: Pai... Yotsuya: Until you find you're way home, I'd like to hang out with you. Yotsuya: But... Yotsuya: it's so strange. Before she could really hold her liquor, and today she's down after one glass. (maybe it's the cold) Yotsuya: Well, I guess we should be getting home. pg. 215) Yotsuya: Wahh! Customers: Eiiiii! Yotsuya: Ar...are you okey Pai.... Yotsuya: Wha...what... is that. pg. 217) Yotsuya: Hiiii! pg. 218) Headline: Mysterious explosion in Shibuya bar. Off to right: Possibly due to rotten gas pipes. Next to picture: By coincidence a reporter from this paper was on the scene. At bottom: Police department investigation Boss: You did good Yotsuya!! This is a reall fine piece of work. You got your scoop didn't you. Yotsuya: I didn't write anything about what I really saw with my own eyes. The real scoop is yet to come.
