What?
I wonder why Elk always leaves me behind?
Because I can't do anything? Does that mean I'm not useful to Elk?
Are you worried about Elk?
He may not come back here at all.
Why don't we believe in him?
I'm sure that he'll come back here with Toshu.
You're right.
This place has changed a lot, but it's still just as dirty.
Sorry, we're not open yet.
Toshu!
Yo.
Toshu!
Hi, long time no see.
It's Toshu!
Toshu!
How have you punks been?
Robby, you doing all right?
Yeah!
Toshu, you came to bring him back, didn't you?
Yeah, that's right.
Elk...
You idiot.
Why are you always so much trouble?
Why did you come here?
All of us, no, Lieza is worrying about you!
How can I be useful without my power?
What the hell?!
I couldn't save anybody.
If I could have used my power,
everyone would have been saved, but...
You...
Well, we have an unusual visitor!
I've heard that someone has seen Elk.
Do you know anything about him?
You mean the boy who uses flame? I don't know.
I see.
The man who just left here...
Jack? He is a rising star now.
Shu, do you know him?
Kind of, but he seems to have changed a lot.
Shu, a Hunter quits being human when he gets good.
Long time no see, Shu.
Hey, are you ignoring your old friend?
You're looking for Elk, aren't you?
Don't scowl at me like that.
According to my information source, Elk has been captured by this guy.
Are you going to take him back with you?
It might be too late for that.
Running away?
Robby!
I want to get on Silver Noah someday
and fight against bad guys.
If I become a strong person like Toshu,
I wonder if Arc will let me get on the ship?
Elk, you're actually strong, aren't you?
I'm not strong.
Lure Toshu out. After you find Elk, I'll finish him.
I don't want you running away from the target at the last minute,
like you did before.
Don't worry. I've been reborn.
This is the last time.
Are you coming back with me?
Do whatever you want to!
Elk?
Toshu!
There was a Hunter named Shu
who wants to ask you about Elk. He's waiting at the junkyard.
A Hunter looking for Elk?
Interesting.
You are a hero of the resistance, aren't you?
I don't think you need to accept an invitation from a Hunter.
I'm more suited to being a wanted man than a hero.
Really, you're always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
What? Are you worried about me or something?
Not at all.
Toshu...
Please don't make everybody sad.
I understand.
You don't understand.
I thought it was you.
I have something to ask you about Elk.
If you're a Hunter, why don't you ask questions after you catch me?
If either one dies, I'll get the reward.
I hope both of them die.
Damn, it's all gone.
What?!
I have to save Toshu!
No way! You can't do that!
It's impossible for you, Robby!
Elk! You can help Toshu, can't you, Elk?
Elk, please save Toshu!
Fine then! I won't ask you any more.
You're a real coward, Elk!
Robby!
Since you're a Hunter, you know the man named Shu, don't you?
Shu?
He's after Toshu.
Shu is?
Why do Toshu and Shu have to fight?
Big brother Toshu!
Look out!
You think this will stop me?!
Toshu!
Stay back!
What do you want?
My target is not your life. I have something to ask you.
No, my target is your life.
Jack!
I told you not to interfere, didn't I?
What did you do, bastard?!
Nothing much. It just makes your body a little numb.
If I left you alone,
you would take all the reward by yourself.
Toshu, sorry, but you will be the payment for my drugs.
Damn!
Robby!
What the hell is this little rat?!
I'll protect big brother Toshu!
Get out of my way!
Robby!
Shu, Toshu!
Elk!
What? How does he know Elk?!
There's one more who will pay for my drugs, isn't there?
Then I'll kill you first, Elk.
Elk!
He's a Chimera too!
I see. I'd heard you'd become good, but this is how.
I was reborn. I became the best Hunter in this town.
That's not true. You are no Hunter. You're just a Chimera.
It doesn't matter to me, whether I'm a human or a Chimera.
I was not good at being a Hunter,
but the drug changed me into a good Hunter. That's enough for me!
Elk, you don't need to hesitate with this bastard!
Show him the power of your flame!
Flame...
No, I can't use the flame.
Elk!
Elk, you were a Hunter only because you could use flame.
But without your flame powers, you're useless. You're trash!
No! Let me go!
However, it's not good to fight against three at the same time,
so I'll take this boy as a hostage.
Jack!
Let Robby go!
Now, Toshu!
Robby!
Don't worry. His life isn't in danger.
Robby!
Elk! Elk, you aren't a coward after all.
Elk, you fought against him in order to help me,
even though you didn't have your power.
Let me treat you, in appreciation for you helping Robby.
A Hunter accepts no money other than his reward.
What a snobby guy! Did your numbness go away?
Yes, I took an antidote, so I'm fine now.
Okay.
Elk, what are you going to do from now on?
I...
I don't know since when, but I've had lots of friends.
We sometimes fight, or laugh, or cry together.
We can think about something without saying all the details,
and even if we're apart, we feel as if we're together always.
I don't know since when, but I've lost lots of friends.
I've been losing them slowly, just like the wind at the riverside,
Slowly...
So we can do everything
And we can do the right thing
Blue flowers were swaying
The flowers were swaying, watered by the May rain
I can't believe that you're not here
Aenai nante iwanai de
I want to accept all of love and live in the present
Let's pray for happiness, let's pray for happiness
Thanks a lot.
I did all sorts of things, and now, I'm trundling along.
But it's all right. I am alive.
