Colors
It's so peaceful.
But now is not the time for that!
We keep the peace in this town! We are Colors!
Yeah.
Wake up, Leader! It's time to get changed!
Huh?
Why am I dressed like this, Sat-chan?
Heroes don't ONLY do their job when the world is in crisis.
Today is a day for training!
Heroes...
What was it? It sounded cool!
I want to say it, too!
They need to raise their levels.
Exactly!
This is the First Ever "Colors Hide-and-Seek Drill!"
Oh! There's an ogre!
Okay, Leader, you'll be It!
THAT's why?
Why hide-and-seek?
Because I want to play it!
What? That's all?
Yup! And hey, hide-and-seek is good training in both hiding and seeking, right?
You just came up with that right now.
Okay, Yui!
Count to 30 and come find us!
Okay!
One! Two!
Three! Four!
Five! Six! Seven!
Twenty-seven! Twenty-eight!
Twenty-nine! Thirty!
Okay! I'm gonna find you so fast!
She's gone!
This is what it means to blow what's right under your nose!
Oh, Koto-chan, is that a new game?
Yeah.
You sure like your video games.
Yep.
Do you like that one?
Oh, that's a good smile.
This game actually shows the blood.
But I can't get a lot of Road Passes in the park.
Road Passes?
If you pass by someone with the same game, you get bonuses.
Uh-huh...
So we need to go somewhere with more people?
Yeah, pretty much.
Okay, let's go hang out in front of the station!
Off to the station!
No Trespassing
They're not here.
Come to think of it, how far are we going for this game?
We should have decided on a range.
But they wouldn't go outside the park, right?
And definitely not towards the station.
The station!
Time to pass people!
Oh, I'm getting some good Road Passes!
There's another one!
The station is THE place to go!
The station's the place to go for what?
Saito?
What are YOU doing here?
Ditching work?
I'm on patrol.
You got a problem with that?
He says he's "on patrol," Koto-chan!
What a lazy bum.
Who are you calling lazy?
And what are you brats doing, anyway?
Road Pass. So?
NOW who's the lazy bum?
We're not lazy!
Listen, buddy. Heroes need...
What was it again?
They need to raise their levels.
And they can't do it if they blow what's under their nose!
Huh? What are you talking a-
Don't you girls know about the Road Pass Plaza?
Road Pass Plaza?
Oh, right, I'm so sorry.
It would take an entire half hour for brats like you to walk there from here.
You couldn't possibly go there.
We can walk that far, no sweat!
Where is this place? He said we just have to follow the overhead train tracks.
Let's go, Koto-chan!
Road Pass plaza!
I'm confused, is it a road or a plaza?
I've done it!
I've driven those snot-nosed brats out of my town!
Please, if you witness any collisions of bicycles or other vehicles, contact us immediately.
This is it!
Special Monster Road Pass Giveaway How do I get the special monster in "Fantasy Quest Monsters: Door to the Djinn & Fata Dungeon"?
So many people!
And they're all grownups!
Lazy bums!
Hey, mister! You look nice!
Will you give me your game?
It's just... I don't have my own game.
So won't you let me have yours?
I'll scream.
Next time, okay?
Sat-chan!
Kotoha!
Sat-chan!
I've been seeking for three hours!
Where are you hiding?
This park is way too big!
If they left the park, then I'll NEVER find them.
Huh?
Weren't you with the other two?
Sat-chan!
Kotoha!
H-hey, wait a minute!
Where did you go?!
I'll tell you!
I'll tell you, just stop crying!
Mmm... Manure?
Snack time!
It's five o'clock.
You're kidding!
Huh?
Where's Yui?
I found you!
What's wrong with you? Crying like a baby!
And what are you wear-
Oh!
You're It in tag!
Hide-and-seek, remember?! Stupid dummy head!
Do you realize where you are? This is Akihabara!
That's two whole stations away!
How deep do you need to hide?!
You must be really shy!
Your quips are scary.
Sorry, really.
Believe it or not, at first you blew what was right under your nose.
You mean I couldn't see right under my nose!
I can't see you if you go too far away, either!
I got a lot of Road Passes.
Yeah! And passed right over my feelings, too!
Clean Up Project?
Yeah. Since summer break is coming up.
We'll have a lot of people coming through.
You look dorky, Pops!
So we're cleaning up the town?
It's more than just that.
The point is to pretty up Shopping Street.
We'll be counting on your help, Colors.
Well, don't!
Ameyoko
It's almost time for summer vacation!
The season of fairs and festivals.
My school is doing a Sansa dance in the parade.
Come see me!
Note: Lyrics to the Sansa Odori song.
Hara-hara-harase!
Sakkora, choi wayasse!
What IS that?
Adora-dora-dorable!
Sat-chan is adorable! Yeah!
That's not how it goes!
Hara-hara-harase!
Sakkora, choi wayasse!
Sat-chan is adorable! Yay!
No!
No Entry
No entry?
What's that about?
Why no entry?
Shopping Arcade Entrance
Let's enter and see!
They're going in!
But we're not supposed to go in!
Is there something in here?
Maybe we'll find the chalk outline from a murder.
Ugh, you guys are hopeless.
Did you find anything?
No.
There's nothing here!
Then I wonder why there's no entry.
Suspicious.
I smell a crime.
Hey!
You're not supposed to go in there!
Didn't you see the sign?
We've been spotted!
Run!
Uh, hey!
We got in trouble!
It would seem they really are barring entry.
But there wasn't anything there.
What do you think, Kotoha?
I've come up with three scenarios.
First, there WAS something, we just couldn't see it.
It could be some kind of gas, or maybe something we couldn't spot from our eye level,
but that easily falls into an adult's field of vision.
You're amazing, Kotoha!
The second is timing.
Something happens there at specific times, but those times are not when we were in there.
Like poop falling from the sky?
Well, something like that.
Third, and this is the most interesting...
No Entry
There's another one!
There wasn't a sign at this alley yesterday, either.
Let's check it out!
They're going in again!
It could be dangerous!
Let's check the high places this time.
Ugh, you guys are hopeless.
Is there anything here?
Nope!
Not even in the high places.
Above us?
No, nothing.
So it has to be gas or timing?
But it's strange that it would happen in two different places at the same time.
Which means...
Hey!
You went in again?! You're not supposed to go in here, either!
Him again!
How did he know where to find us?
Let's beat him up and get him to spill the beans on why there's no entry!
No, don't!
Run away!
Oh, come on!
Why are we running?
He's the criminal who roped off these alleys!
Criminal? Why?!
Is that how he knew where we were?
Exactly.
The third possibility: he made the alleys off-limits so he could hide something in them.
This could be a murder and dismemberment case.
Murder and dismemberment case?
Like a recipe?
That's "measurement."
No Entry
Another no entry sign.
Don't be alarmed if you see a head on the ground.
Who'd be alarmed about that?
I would!
If it really is a murder, you could get hurt!
Ugh, you guys are hopeless.
Oof.
Did you find anything?
Nope!
There's nothing here.
You went in another one!
It's him again!
There IS something here!
Let's find it!
Okay, I'll buy us some time!
You two find whatever it is!
Sat-chan!
Killer move!
Extra...
Virgin...
Oil!
Oy.
Oil!
Th-there's nothing here, Kotoha!
Yui, don't you have any ideas?
Ideas? I don't know...
Something you noticed that's different from yesterday.
It could be anything.
Anything?
Oil!
The Clean Up Project is starting today.
Clean Up Project?
The one Pops told us about.
Of course!
This is it!
I've beat this game!
There it is!
Come on, what is this here?
Must be Colors.
It's easy to see exactly where they've been.
Those places were all covered in wet paint.
Give me a break.
Extra...
Virgin Oil!
Ameyoko
Here you go. Natto.
Yay! Thanks, Mom!
And here are yours, Koto-chan, Yui-chan.
Thanks.
Thank you!
What are you doing with this natto, anyway? Another prank on Saito-kun?
Nuh-uh.
We're gonna throw it in the pond!
Hold up.
She said we can't throw it in the pond.
So what do we do?
How about an endurance word chain?
Endurance word chain?
Moose, Earthworm, Moose, Earthworm, Moose...
like that.
You just keep going in a circle.
And whoever gets tired of it first loses.
And that's fun?
Fine, then Koto-chan, let's play!
Very well.
Okay, we'll start with the N from Word Chain!
N... N... Natrium.
M...! M...
Moose.
Earthworm.
Moose.

Oh, Colors! Earthworm.
Oh, Colors! Moose.
Oh, Colors! Earthworm.
Oh! Nono-chan!
Yoo-hoo!
Ugh! What are you doing out here eating natto?
It's not for eating.
This is for the Clean Up Project.
What?
We're gonna use the natto to clean up the pond.
But Sat-chan's mom says we can't throw it in.
Um...
What exactly are you trying?
They were doing a thing on TV that shows how natto cleans water.
Oh! Now that you mention it, I saw that, too!
The one where they used the ingredients from the slimy stuff in natto.
You think it really works?
Look, Nonoka!
Am I clean now?
Don't do that! You shouldn't waste food!
Ah, she ate it!
The pond water, huh?
It IS kinda dirty.
And it stinks!
It does stink, especially in the summer.
Can you think of a good way to clean it, Nono-chan?
I'm super cute!
Here's something my teacher told me.
The best thing to help nature...
Is for mankind to die out.
Really.
I guess... there's nothing we can do.
No, nothing.
So let's wipe out mankind.
How... did things turn out this way?
Mom, Dad, I'm so sorry.
I wish... I never said we would clean up the pond.
Don't blame yourself, Yui.
If anyone's to blame, it's the Clean Up Project.
Now let us make this natto our last supper, Yui.
Okay.
I humbly partake.
Ditto.
It's delicious.
So delicious.
It is indeed.
You painted yours on your face, Sat-chan.
Natto tastes good, but it smells awful.
Like the pond - it stinks, but I love it.
That's it! It's okay for the pond to stink!
I'm giving up on the mission to clean the pond!
What?!
But then we lose, don't we?!
E... Earthworm!
Earthworm is my word.
No, we don't lose!
Because we gave up...
mankind is saved!
So you're saying...
Leader, please tell us!
What of the peace in this town?
We've kept it!
We have gained total victory!
Another day free from mayhem!
Moose.
Earthworm.
Moose.

You're still doing that?
It's time for the Colors Evaluation Meeting!
Right, the "Evaluation Meeting," aka the preview for the next episode.
Earthworm.
Moose!
That's not what it is!
It's where we all talk about all the things we could have done better today.
Done better? Was something wrong?
Like...
I don't think it was a good idea to go far away without telling "It" in the middle of a game of hide-and-seek!
Like that.
But after that, we kept the peace in our town!
So we're even.
We're even?
No, we're not!
Anyway, isn't this a preview for the next episode?
Then shouldn't we talk about the next episode?
I told you, it is not!
But next time, we will battle Saito-san!
And we will keep the peace of this town!
So same as this time.
You can't say that - this is a preview!
