[New Tokyo International Airport]
[Arrival Lobby]

Yukiji: Sigh...
	This is all because you're so stupid...

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)(pant)

Yukiji: Do you know what a horrible mistake you made?

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)(pant)

Yukiji: Just when I thought you proved yourself to be a first class drug-sniffer...

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)(pant)

<<Yukiji: Flour?!
	N...  no...  but, sir...!!

[Customs Inspection Office]

<<Yukiji: When Blue Three jumped forward and that white powder spilled out of the bag,
	the traveler was cleary quite frightened...

<<Boss: Anyone would be frightened if that dog jumped on them.

<<Blue Three: (pant)(pant)(pant)

<<Yukiji: But...
	The man was obviously trying to escape when it happened...

 - Page 135 -

<<Boss: The drug tests afterward made it quite clear that it was flour.
	Do you still doubt that now?
	This is a catastrophe.

<<Yukiji: Huh?

<<Boss: He is a businessman now, but he was formerly part of the media.
	He said it would be a simple thing to report this customs failure to his old mass media friends.
	We were lucky that man and your stupid dog
	didn't catch the attention of the entire airport around them.

<<Boss: If he had raised a fuss, what would happen to us?

<<Yukiji: I...
	I'm very sorry...

<<Boss: This is to be kept under wraps!!

<<Yukiji: Huh?

<<Boss: Do not tell a single soul about this incident.
	I gave him a whole-hearted apology.

<<Yukiji: I...
	I'll apologize as well!!

<<Boss: No!  You will stay put!!

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)

Yukiji: Why did you do that?  Now you'll be sent back to training school.
	No, even that would be lucky for you...
	They'll probably deem you a perfect failure...

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)
	(pant)(pant)

Yukiji: I hope they find you a good home...

Blue Three: (pant)(pant)

Yukiji: I'll put in a good word.
	Let them know you're not the brightest apple, but not a bad dog...
	Don't worry.  I'm sure you'll find a wonderful owner...

Yukiji: Oh...
	The man with the flour...

Yukiji: Excuse me...!!
	I'm very sorry about what happened!!
	I don't know what I can say to apologize...

Man: It's okay.

Yukiji: Ah... please, wait.
	I realize I'm in no position to say this.  But...
	This dog could be taken from his post here!!
	Please...
	Please don't let them do that!!

Man: I told you already.

 - Page 140 -

Manjoume: It's okay...

Yukiji: But...!!

Kenji: Change?
	No, I'm fine the way I am!!
	You better get outta here too, driver!!

Yukiji: Kenji...?

 - Page 141 -

Kenji: Don't bother hanging around!!  This airport's gonna...

Yukiji: What are you DOING...?

Kenji: Yukiji...
	That's what I want to know!!
	I called you over and over again on the way here!!

Yukiji: I told you, there was a disaster at work, I had no time for calls.  What do you want?

Kenji: What?!  Do you know how worried I've...
	O...  okay...  just s-settle down!!
	(hahh)(hahh)

Yukiji: I think YOU need to settle down.

Kenji: This airport...

Yukiji: What about Narita?

Kenji: Is going to bl...

Manjoume: GYAAAAAAAAAH!!

Yukiji: NO!!  NO!!  Bad dog!!

Manjoume: Aaaaaah...!!

Kenji: It's him!!

Yukiji: Huh?

Kenji: Let me see...
	what's in that bag.

Yukiji: What's your problem, Kenji?  It's flour.

Kenji: No...
	It's a bomb.

Yukiji: B...?

 - Page 145 -

Kenji: He's one of "Friend"'s lackeys.

Yukiji: Wha...

Kenji: I remembered what they're gonna do n...
	I mean, what we thought of next when we were kids...
	An airport explosion!!

Yukiji: N...  no...

 - Page 146 -

Manjoume: Kenji-kun says the contents of this bag are a bomb...
	Yukiji-kun says it's a mysterious powder...

Yukiji: How do you know our names...?

Manjoume: So, which is it?
	Uh-oh, better stay away.

 - Page 147 -

Manjoume: I'll tell you the right answer.
	Yukiji-kun is correct.
	But you should probably stop reporting things to your boss.
	It's wise to trust no one in this day and age.
	By the way...
	Now you have to ask yourself...  where's the bomb?

Kenji: W...
	WHERE IS IT?!

Manjoume: Hahahaha...  almost time...
	Try to remember.

 - Page 148 -

Manjoume: Back in those days...  when you were children...
	Was there a Narita airport here?

Kenji: Ah...!!

Woman: Chiyo-san!!  Chiyo-san!!
	Did you just see the TV news rep...
	Wh...  what in the?!  Your store is packed!!

Chiyo: Look at this, I don't have time to be watching TV!!

Woman: H...  HANEDA AIRPORT...!!

 - Page 149 -

Kenji: Haneda...

Manjoume: Anyways, Kenji-kun...
	Should you really be wasting your time here?
	If you don't go home soon...
	Something terrible will happen, I'm afraid...

Kenji: H...  home...?

 - Page 150 -

Manjoume: I believe they're all paying a visit now.
	To see "Friend"'s beloved daughter Kanna-chan...

Kanna: Booooooo.

Woman: What could all these people be doing here at this hour...?

Chiyo: I don't know!  Why is that stupid boy off neglecting his work?!
