There are two types of transporters.
Transporters who deliver items, and transporters who deliver hearts.
But, I transport both.
As long as I receive payment.
No matter how dangerous an item it is.
How did it come to this, kuma?!
It was because Morte tried to eat that canned sand-whale!
Don't make it my fault!
What? Them again?
Weren't they drowning in the sea just recently?
They really need to learn.
You guys are headed for the Autumn Continent as well?
This is perfect.
I'm in the middle of transporting cargo to the Autumn Continent.
I'm willing to transport you guys as well.
I'll say this beforehand, we don't have any money, kuma.
Then, a little physical labor will do.
Cleaning the deck and the cabin...
Oh yeah, the kitchen is pretty filthy.
How about it?
If you get it nice and clean by the time we arrive at the Autumn continent, I won't ask for money.
Really?!
Well, then it's a deal.
Just a moment.
Why are you deciding this by yourself?!
It's the guys from the Salvation Committee again, kuma.
Don't just stand there watching! Retaliate!
This is just a normal cargo ship.
It isn't a warship.
Unfortunately, I don't have any weapons that could match their torpedoes.
Give it up, you filthy transporter!
Quietly hand over that cargo!
It seems that they aren't after us this time, kuma.
That mark...
The Golden Lion!
Now!
Hurry up and hand over the cargo!
Otherwise, I'll fire a torpedo into your ship's hull, and--
Huh?!
Those people...
The World Destruction Committee!
This is great!
This is exactly what is meant by "two birds with one stone!"
It seems the World Destruction Committee has been caught by the sand-submersible.
It was a coincidence that they were aboard that transporter's vessel.
As I suspected, they really were headed for the Autumn Continent.
It's rather regrettable that they weren't caught by our hands.
The sand-submersible was in the middle of a secret mission to take the cargo that
the Golden Lion wanted shipped to the Autumn Continent.
What about it...?
Who let the information about the cargo out?
Maybe...
It might be best to retrieve the Destruct Code from the sand-submersible as quickly as possible.
Do you... know of the Golden Lion?
A lame resistance organization.
Lame, huh?
Well, that may be true.
Why were you carrying such a cargo, kuma?
Are you a member of the resistance, kuma?
I have nothing to do with them.
I told you before, didn't I?
As long as I get paid, I'll transport anything.
But, once I've taken a job, I see it through to the end.
That's my modus operandii.
Up until now, I haven't failed to deliver a single cargo request.
Do you have a plan, kuma?
Somebody! Help me!
What are you making a fuss about?
Shut up in there!
The one who needs to shut up is you!
We have a problem!
The Destruction Committee has escaped!
This is the sea, there isn't anywhere to run!
Captain, there is a sand-ship approaching at our three o'clock!
What?!
Are they trying to take all the credit?
I won't hand it over!
Submerge!
How foolish...
Let's go, Lia.
This is bad, they've begun to submerge!
It's best if you stay away from that crate.
Did you know what your cargo consisted of when you took the job?
What do you mean?
I'm a transporter.
It doesn't matter what the cargo is, I'll carry anything.
These guns are a cover-up.
The real contents are...
That is...
A time bomb, kuma!
Just the sort of thing the Golden Lion would do.
What do you mean?
I'm saying that this is all a part of the Golden Lion's scheme.
Having a naive, foolish transporter carry the cargo,
leak the information to the beastmen, have them retrieve that cargo, and...
Kaboom!
It wasn't necessary to call me foolish...
What horrible people...!
More like, wouldn't it be best to hurry up and throw that outside?!
Hurry up and have the sand-submersible surface, kuma!
It won't happen.
I won't be fooled.
I caught these guys.
I will get the credit.
I won't be fooled by that lie.
Too foolish...
You guys!
Why are you just standing there?!
Hurry up and restrain the Destruction Committee!
What should we do?
It can't be helped.
For the moment, the disarming of the bomb.
This is bad!
It's going to explode!
Run, kuma!
Lia, what are you doing!?
Hurry!
Shit! Hurry and open this thing up!
Open!
You guys!
Kyrie!
It's no good.
We have to move this!
We have to hurry up or...
He's suffocating.
We have to do CPR!
No way!
I don't know how, and it would be alright if you did it, right?
I don't know how either...
What is that look?
I don't owe him anything for saving me...
I'll do it, kuma.
Toppi!
Kyrie, I'll save you, kuma!
T-T-T-T-T-Toppi, what are you doing!?
What is it you don't understand, kuma?!
That's CPR, a--
Kyrie!
Ria!
This way, kuma!
We have to run away too!
Let's go!
For the moment we're safe in here.
What happened with Kyrie and the others?
They ran into a door somewhere.
They are probably alright.
It's here?
Where?
This is...
Lia, are you alright?
Naja, I'm fine!
I'm with the Destruction Committee guy and--
The bear, too...
Don't say bear, kuma!
Is that so?
Everyone is safe here, too.
It looks like we've touched down on the sea floor.
We can't resurface?
It's no good.
There is no response from the engine.
The shock from the explosion seems to have destroyed the surfacing device.
In other words... we're stuck here, at the bottom of the sea?
At this rate, it's only a matter of time before we are crushed by the pressure, kuma.
The air won't run out, will it?
Quickly call for help.
But keep us out of it.
There is no way for me to communicate.
Even if we managed to call someone, no help will come here.
What do you mean?
The sand-submersible was only recently developed in Croak Town.
In other words, this is the only sand-submersible in the world.
So then, couldn't we escape by swimming?
There's no way we could do something like that!
This is the bottom of the sea.
Even if we got outside, we'd be squished flat by the sand pressure.
But, there should be something we can do.
In order to safely get out of this, why don't we call a temporary truce?
Isn't there any equipment for making an escape on this vessel?
There is nothing as tasteful as that.
Well, then what did they intend to do in a time like this?
Perhaps they never intended for something like this to happen?
I wonder how far it is to the surface.
If we hold our breaths, maybe we could make it...
Or maybe, like before we could get Toppi to give us air through his lips?
I am not a scuba tank, kuma!
Oh, I've got it!
We could put this toilet on our heads, flipped upside-down!
That way, the air would remain inside, so we could breathe!
So!? He told us that if we got outside, we would be crushed flat by the sand-pressure!
I'm sorry...
The storeroom where the explosion occurred is in the ship's substructure.
So, there is a good chance that the engine, which is farther forward, is safe.
If it's impossible to move it just from the driver's seat...
If we could get to the engine room,
and manipulate it directly, then we might be able to do something.
But how will we get to the engine room?
The corridors are buried in sand.
If we go through this duct, maybe...
It's an air vent.
It would be too small for us, so there is no way we could get through.
Because of this, I have lost my pride as a Small Bear since I'm used like a normal bear, kuma...
I wonder if Toppi is alright?
If the inside of the duct gets filled with sand, it's all over.
It's alright. If it is that bear, he will manage to do it well.
Don't say bear, kuma!
Toppi!
It looks like I've arrived safely at the engine room, kuma.
So, like I said before, please start up the engine.
I'll do it, kuma.
With this, it's no good, kuma!
What is it, Toppi?
The fuel tank is empty, kuma.
All the fuel leaked out, and now it's empty, kuma.
It looks like we're out of luck.
So, it's only a matter of time until we are crushed, huh?
Well, if the World Destruction Committee vanishes,
the need for the World Salvation Committee goes with it.
It might be interesting if we were to fall into ruin together.
So the foolish transporter just got caught up in the line of fire?
Oh yeah, there was one job more than a year ago that I didn't manage to finish.
That was a job to deliver a message rather than an item.
The client was a member of the Golden Lion,
who, for the resistance, was way too young.
That was, I think...
The guy said to me.
He wanted to deliver a message to his older sister back in his homeland.
I apologize for making you worry.
But, I'll probably return safely,
and I'll change the world, so please wait until then.
But before I could ask him the place to which he wanted it delivered, he was called out by his comrades and left.
She was a little overconfident,
and a little dishonest with herself.
However, she was a kind
and gentle older sister, he said.
What do you intend to do?!
That message...
until you've delivered it, you can't die in a place like this!
It's no use.
If the fuel tank is taken out, there is nothing that can be done.
Even if the tank is empty,
if we use the fuel left in the engine,
we should be able to get it to move at least a little bit.
Even if you manage to move it just a little,
this is the bottom of a deep sea.
With the surfacing function lost,
there is no way we could make it to the surface.
Something big has contacted the ship's hull!
Isn't this supposed to be the only sand-submersible in the world?
That isn't a sand-submersible!
This crying voice... a sand-whale!
Toppi! Activate the engine!
It doesn't have to last to the top.
If we can move it just a little bit forward, that will be enough.
Understood, kuma!
Here we go!
The sand-whale heard the sound and ate us along with the sand!
And it ejects the extra sand out!
It's the Autumn Continent...
It's a miracle, kuma!
It wasn't a miracle.
This is destiny!
So then, what now?
Will you catch us?
Wait a second, Morte!
No, we are still in the middle of our truce.
Naja!
Well then...
If it were possible, I'd like to continue this cease-fire, kuma!
Well then... I should be getting going...
What?
It's nothing.
It looks like I safely finished the job, after all.
Autumn leaves, baked sweet potatoes, and a colorful campus life.
The school in Shigara on the Autumn Continent is a peaceful place where humans and beast-men live together.
But, there's something strange about Morte...
Next time, on World Destruction episode 9,
There are Two Types of Autumn.
Toppi, what do you think?
A woman's heart is like the autumn sky, kuma.
What?
He's a man, kuma.
What?
