The great disturbance in Karamachi's trap house, which began with a burglary, finally came to an end with the repelling of a giant rat thief. |
Karamachi also went out to patrol the Phantom Mist, saying that she could "now go about her business and duties with peace of mind"- |
It should have been, but for some reason she returned immediately. |
Karamachi |
"TA, TAIHEN DOSUUU~~!" |
Yoshino |
"What a coincidence, Karamachi. Yoshino and friends are actually in a lot of trouble right now too." |
Karamachi |
"Eh, Is that so? I thought everythin' was fine inside the mansion..." |
Yakutsk |
"Paddington and Queensway like the house so much that they've set off traps from one end to the other. Every time they do that, me and Yoshino have to re-set them again... Chert voz'mi, just how many times do we have to do it all over again!" |
Karamachi |
"So that's the problem..." |
Yoshino |
"So what's your big deal, Karamachi?" |
Karamachi |
"Yes, right! I was just makin' my rounds and I saw that rat!!" |
Yakutsk |
"I thought you blew it a long way away, but I can't believe it's already back!?" |
Karamachi |
"I think so. If we leave it alone, it'll probably come back and rob my mansion again." |
Karamachi pondered with a serious expression on her face how she should respond. |
Yoshino |
"Karamachi, ushiro ushiro." |
Karamachi |
"Behind me?" |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEE!?" |
Yoshino pointed out that the giant rat is just about to sneak into the mansion. |
Karamachi |
"You, comin' back so early! Do you have somethin' personal against me!?" |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEEEEEEEE~~!" |
Yakutsk |
"Gah, it's running away again!" |
Yoshino |
'As expected, Yoshino and friends have beaten it once, so it doesn't look like it's going to try to get in now." |
Karamachi |
"But this is an opportunity. We have to follow it and find out where its nest is." |
Yoshino |
"Oooooh- Karamachi is on fire." |
Karamachi |
"That's right. Last time we gave up capturing it to protect the mansion, but if it shows up again, that's a different story. I'LL HAVE MY GOODS BAAAAACK~!!" |
Yakutsk |
"That was quite a spirited run, huh?" |
Yoshino |
"Let's go, Yoshino and friends. This time we'll get our goods back and get a dominating victory." |
Yakutsk |
"Yes, we'll have to make sure it don't mess with us again." |
Karamachi's team continued to run after the giant rat as it escaped through the forest. Eventually, they see a break in the forest ahead and charged in- |
Karamachi |
"Ara, we're in a village." |
Yakutsk |
"Isn't this the village I found?" |
Yoshino |
"It's the village where the children are said to be wearing fine kimonos. It's true, they wear kimonos as fine as those from Someiya." |
Yakutsk |
"You know, only the children's kimonos are of premium quality. It's a strange place." |
Karamachi |
"There's something else that's strange. The rat is supposed to be here, but nobody is surprised." |
Yoshino |
"It's strange if you ask me. If a huge rat like that had appeared, there would have been a panic by now." |
Karamachi |
"I wonder what this all means..." |
Village Boy |
"Ah! Welcome back, Hamusuta!" |
Yakutsk |
"By the way, the children were looking for their hamster. I'm glad they've found it-" |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"Squeeak♪" |
Yakutsk |
"NYET, THE HAMSTER'S THAT RAT!?" |
Village Boy |
"Oh, you're the lady of the SSS! Hamusuta's back!" |
Yakutsk |
"No no, that size, is not a hamster no matter how you look at it!" |
Yoshino |
"No no, Yakky-tan, he said 'Welcome back, Hamusuta'." |
Karamachi |
"I see, so it's that rat's name." |
Yakutsk |
"Tha-That's confusing..." |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEEEEAAAK!!" |
At that moment, the rat who were friendly to the village children, noticed Karamachi's group, and raised its voice in a threatening manner. |
Village Boy |
"Hamusuta, what happened to you all of a sudden, you're so angry!? |
Karamachi |
"Hello, that rat took somethings important from us. That's why we've been chasin' after it all day, wantin' them back." |
Karamachi |
"I know that the villagers care about the rat. That's why I want you to give me back at least the contents of the wrapping cloth that the rat is carryin'." |
Karamachi's concession, however, is not going to be accepted by the giant rat, an animal- |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEEAAAAA~~!!" |
Yakutsk |
"It doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of returning them back." |
Yoshino |
"Wait, you two. There's Phantom Mist coming out of Rat-san's furoshiki." |
Karamachi |
"THAT's TRUE!" |
Yakutsk |
So the source of the Phantom Mist we were patrolling and watching for might still be here, inside this rat's furoshiki?" |
Yoshino |
"I'm sure the Phantom Mist is also responsible for this rat's high intelligence." |
Karamachi |
"I see, now everything makes sense. The reason my mansion was raided was because this rat was affected by the Phantom Mist." |
Karamachi |
"'Hey, we're going to seize this rat now, but if it gets a bit rough, please bear with us." |
The boy shook his head silently, perhaps a little frightened by the scene unfolding before his eyes. |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEEEEEEEEEA~~!!" |
Karamachi |
"It's all Phantom Mist's fault. I'm releasing you now too, so please behave yourself." |
Karamachi |
"NOW CHARGE, EVERYONE!!" |
