When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.

Sis...
You're still willing to call me that. I’m so happy.
What are you talking about? Of course I would.
No matter what happens, you're you.
is Goriki doing well?
Yeah.
That's good to know.
it’s the only thing our father left us.
Rival, His Name is Le Bled
Yeah... That's right.
But still, I’d rather have you go back to being the nice big sister you used to be.
You'll always be a child.
You're speaking of something that's only a dream.
You're still by his side?
Yes.
Criminals are mostly elusive, but the Machine Baron, he's extremely puzzling.
To put it another way, there is no way to predict what he's after.
it doesn't seem as though he'll take just anything if it's a machine.
He's a really odd fellow.
Really, to think he'd want a Megamaton with such an unrefined look.
Thanks.
Sis, where have you been the past six months?
I’ve been moving from city to city.
A vey faint mint flavor.
I’m glad you remembered what I like.
Why did you come back to this city?
He's in need of... Narutaki.
What's that supposed to mean?
What are you planning for Narutaki?
If it's for Le Bled, I’ll do anything.
Even if it means taking away someone dear to you.
I won't let that happen!
Good night, Ling Ling.
Dream of fun dreams with Narutaki in them.
I have some business here, so go back to the agency ahead of me.
Hi, Narutaki. Did you complete the one from the other time?
Well, I did manage to complete it but...
Then please buy another one.
There's a pretty good one in stock now.
it might not exactly suit your tastes
but I think you'll like it.
Come on in.
I’m sorry to interrupt.
Oh, you were reading a book?
Yes. Has our guest left?
The conversation just keeps going and going.
By the way, I know it's a big favor to ask, but could you go
to the tea shop near Russel Boulevard and buy some mints?
I don't mind, but it's vey far, so I think it'll be a while before I return.
I know, but I want to serve tea using the mint from that place.
This is for a person who's important to me.
I understand.
Now to wait for Narutaki to come home...
That train is vey hard to come by.
If you're looking for parts, you're not going to find them.
I see.
However, that other one was the recommended one.
What I have are these, but I don't know how much of this you'll be able to use.
Thank you.
If there's something else you need, contact me!
I’ll try to find them for you!
All right! I’ll count on it!
Welcome back. You'll have some coffee, right?
Where's Kawakubo?
He seems to have gone to the police department
after being summoned by Inspector Yagami.
I see.
Here you go.
Thanks.
What's the matter?
What? What kind of joke is this, Narutaki?
Who are you?
What are you talking about? I’m...
You're not Ling Ling.
What's the matter with you?
You need to accept the fact you messed up.
Putting a sleeping agent into the coffee is a waste
since I’m a coffee aficionado and can easily tell.
Show your real identity.
Looks like I underestimated you.
That was impressive, Narutaki.
it’s no wonder you've made a name for yourself as a detective in Steam City.
Well, not for a moment did I think you'd fall for a trap like this, anyway.
Maybe it was so simple, it was insulting to you,
but just think of it as a greeting and let bygones be bygones.
Le Bled. What did you do with Ling Ling?
Relax. Your precious partner is safe.
When did you return to this city?
I saw you in action yesterday.
I’m happy to be able to see your face again.
in the past six months, not a day went by where I didn't think of you.
The one who scarred my face.
You seem to have made out like a bandit with your thefts in other cities.
Those were committed by copycats using my name.
I do have one proposal.
To celebrate our six month reunion, why don't we have a party?
A party?
That's right. A party.
No need to worry.
She's only asleep.
Go back ahead of me.
There's nothing to be concerned about.
All right.
in order to wake up Ling Ling, you'll need the medicine I mixed.
I left it at the Gekko Park.
That's where the party will take place.
What if l say I don't want to attend the party?
Ling Ling will remain asleep for the rest of her life.
So, there's no way for me to turn it down.
If I didn't do this, you wouldn't take it so seriously.
I’ll see you at the party place in five minutes.
If you're late even by just a little bit, assume you forfeited your present.
From here, I’ll barely make it in time.
If it's just you, you'll make it somehow.
Ling Ling!
Goriki!
With Goriki's legs, it'll take about five minutes.
How will I fight with that Megamaton until he gets there?
There's no need to be concerned with the rear.
I’m leaving the rest to you.
Take your time playing around with Narutaki.
I’ll return as soon as the job's done.
You've come just in time, Narutaki.
Where's Le Bled?!
Why?
Why isn't Le Bled here? Why?
Narutaki...
If you don't take a hint from the clue I left behind,
then starting today, you'll have to step down as a rival of mine.
Where is he? What are you thinking, Le Bled?
I see!
Goriki! This way! He's at the museum!
Le Bled. You've outdone yourself.
it looks like you've managed to get here in time.
I really wish you wouldn't abruptly change the party location.
I knew you'd definitely figure out it would be here.
The nostalgic art piece...
When you interfered with my attempt to steal this painting, it came as a real shock.
After all, it was my first ever failure.
And Narutaki, it was also a meeting determined by fate.
If you're planning on stealing it again, you'd better think twice.
As long as I’m in this city,
I won't let you do as you please.
Talk about the cheesy lines of a childish little boy hero.
To think you'll be able to stop me so easily...
There's no guarantee there's only one remote control for a Megamaton!
it’ll take your Goriki thirty-plus minutes to get from Gekko Park to here.
How do you plan on fighting until then?
You give up?
Have you forgotten the layout of this city, Le Bled?
Goriki!
Can't be! How?!
The sewers!
Goriki, protect the painting!
Damned brute strength Megamaton...
Le Bled!
That's as far as you'll go!
Sorry, but I can't afford to be captured by you.
Le Bled!
Goriki!
Let go!
Goriki!
Don't overdo it...
Splendid, Narutaki.
This is why I can lay everything on the line...
Narutaki... What? Why? I...
it’s all over. Though those two got away.
What's this?
A present from Lang Lang.
Can't be! Why is the size perfect?!
I just went on a diet!
Oh... nothing. Nothing at all.
I see.
Narutaki. Children shouldn't stay up all night.
I can stay up just one night.
No! You're exhausted from the events of yesterday and today.
No problem. If I get sleepy, I’ll go to sleep.
No! Even if you're not sleepy, you need to rest your body!

Preview of the next episode
How do you do? I’m Narutaki.
This is my assistant, Ling Ling.
What's the deal with him? That Meyard guy! How rude!
You're being concerned about him, after all!
I think the next person to be attacked
will be either one of you.
