Ah, Hakumei.
I recommend that you don't go into that alleyway.
Hm?
That's the territory of a well-known pickpocket.
This is a lawless district.
All kinds of people live in Honey House, from artists to conmen.
The House's motto is, "Anything goes."
They live in an amazing place.
That story is kind of extreme, though.
And you're holding a concert at Honey House...
Well, I often felt that everyone would like to hear me si-
Konju! Well, I often felt that everyone would like to hear me si-
Nobuki? What's wrong?
They've done it!
Episode 18 A Long Day
What is this?
They've interfered so many times before.
This time is too awful.
Dammit! Those old-timers...
There are some guys that hate the very sight of newcomers like us.
The veteran tenants of the kakushichiku floors
Kakushi...
The kakushichiku floors!
(Thread) SHI (stone) SEKI (gold) KIN
Honey House has eight floors altogether,
but since the old-timers live on the kaku, shi, and chiku floors,
(gourd) HOU (bamboo) CHIKU
(wood) MOKU
(leather) KAKU (earth) DO
that's what they're called.
Really...?
I can't stand it anymore!
We're gonna attack 'em!
Yeah!
Oh, try your best not to inhale the smoke here. It's habit-forming.
Yo. Got some business here, Chief?
How dare he act so shamelessly...
Oh, you mean those woodchips?
That took a lot of work, you know.
Be sure to clean it up properly.
You bastards!
I'm sure I've warned you about that many times.
I told you not to be so reckless.
'Scuse me, can I ask you something?
Can you show me your leader?
Are you a new recruit?
I'm an outsider.
Sorry.
Right now, the leader of the lot of us is not here.
In that case, I'll ask you.
Does "Anything goes" also include us going against you?
Yeah, of course.
There's no exception to "Anything goes."
Is that so?
Okay. Wanna leave this place for a little while?
That visitor seems pretty troublesome...
Just wait for it.
Is that the former leader?
Yes. He became a wealthy man through sake production, and in order for him to enjoy the rest of his life,
he corralled all the artists and outlaws into a pleasure house.
His name's Ukai.
Enjoy the rest of his life, huh. That sounds so nice.
It sounds like you.
Is there no successor?
It seems there is, though I've never met or seen him.
What the heck...
What was his name again...
I was hoping we'd capture that guy, but it seems unlikely, huh?
In any case, if they come forth in an unlawful way, we must resist to the very end!
Even if there's an ambush, we'll continue on with the operation!
Huh?
Huh? W-wait...
H-hey wait!
Konju!
Save me!
What?! Are they members of the old-timers' group?
I'm not sure, but regardless, I'm gonna follow them!
Uh, right!
Up there! If those members are taking her anywhere, then it's definitely to the Kakushichiku floor!
We are completely lost.
Hakumei-san. Mikochi-san.
I found them. They're over here.
You found Konju?
Mikochi! I've never seen this guy's face before.
Who are you?
Ah, how rude of me.
I haven't greeted you yet, huh...
I'm the second generation owner of Honey House, Higaki Yagatamori.
I'd like to confidentially ask you two for a favor.
Well, Miss Songstress.
I'm sorry, but please just keep quiet here.
Just until those newcomers give up and surrender.
You really didn't think that we'd be on the lower floors, did you?
But what is this here?
It's a wine cellar or something. They hid it, huh...
Typical of Ukai.
But doesn't that Higaki know about this?
Even if he knows...
...that guy won't do anything.
First, we'll deal with this...
The "Honey House Julep." It was the drink our late friend Ukai loved.
Mint and syrup, and also whiskey and water, and something else...
He didn't skimp on any of those.
What is this? It's super-duper delicious!
It's still incomplete as it is now, though.
Ukai's julep is... Yes, it was no doubt magic.
Every time a conflict arose between the masters, Ukai would bring this drink, and come to mediate.
It was a magic drink that would instantly calm any fight.
Mikochi-san.
I've heard about your cooking skills.
Please lend us a hand in completing the "Honey House Julep."
Huh?
After trial and error, we can reproduce it, but I have no idea what's missing.
Let's go, Mikochi.
We have to look for Konju.
I'll do it.
Wait... Are you serious, Mikochi?!
Yes.
A drink so magical that it will calm this chaos... If I can make it, then I must.
If you make this drink, we can save Konju, right?
Definitely.
Got it. I'll help.
I appreciate it.
Well then, let's head to Ukai's hidden storehouse.
Half a cup of mint measured only in something that provided a fulfilling childhood.
Use two teaspoons of syrup from a bee that has lost consciousness on a spinning wheel...
Is this the recipe?
He was a playful man.
Was what I drank earlier made according to this book?
No. It's too sweet if I make it by that book, so I'm using half the amount of honey.
So that's the case, huh...
Is all the alcohol you have right here?
No. The rest of the alcohol is in this room here.
Higaki.
Tsumujimaru.
What's wrong, Tsumuji?
We have to hurry and bring the songstress up there.
If those newcomers come here they'll see us.
Since we've gone through all this, I was thinking I'd take two or three bottles of alcohol.
Go on ahead.
It's sure been a long time, hasn't it, Higaki.
Oh, hey...
What are you even doing here? Have you finally run away from the sun, too?
Even if you cling to Ukai, you're never gonna be him.
Hey.
Say something back, Higaki.
I see, it's because you're with those outsiders, huh?
Is that right? You're pretty funny, Higaki.
There he is!
I finally found you, you freakin' lizard!
Where is Konju?!
That hurts, ya know?!
Bring us Konju!
She isn't here anymore!
Then take us to her!
Shut up! Get offa me!
Mikochi!
Tsumujimaru...
Higaki! Mark my words!
We're gonna make you do what we tell you to!
You always have and you will forever...
because Ukai isn't here anymore!
That freakin' lizard got away!
Doesn't matter, just hurry and put out the fire!
Are you okay, Mikochi?
Yeah.
More importantly, I think I know the correct recipe.
Really?
In this recipe, I think the amounts are correct.
It's the ingredients that are different. In all likelihood, the syrup.
The syrup?
Yes. Something that's not sweeter than the syrup you're using now,
with a honey flavor that has a higher compatibility with the whiskey.
I think Ukai must have owned some honey wine...
Ah, that has to be it!
Where is it?
It's most likely in Ukai's room. However...
Ukai's room is outside of the Kaku floor.
Alright, leave that to me!
Take care, okay?
Um, I don't understand what you're talking about, but...
What about Konju?
Of course, I'm going to go save her.
We're going to join up with everyone on the ground and raid the Kaku floor!
Yeah!
What's inside this one?
Chopped shiso leaves and Sakaeya's barley miso.
This is delicious.
Want another one?
Those newcomers are awfully quiet. I wonder if they gave up.
Well, the guy's a coward.
Though he's the master of Honey House, he's just a one or two year novice, after all.
He sure is!
Wh-what's that?!
Is that... a mushroom?
RUMBLE RUMBLE
Mushrooms!
Those damn brats. They've come to attack us!
How's it going?
The first group broke through. There's considerable confusion at the guard posts!
Looks like they're losing their minds, huh?
They probably didn't expect us to break through the frontlines.
Although we're newcomers, we are the inhabitants of the lawless district.
When we do things, we go all in!
Okay. Shall we go, Group 2?
We're all ready!
Okay, I'm counting on you!
Have a good flight.
Thanks.
Group 2!
Charge!
They're confined huh...
Don't let 'em get close!
Anything you got to throw at 'em, throw it!
This has cost us a lot of our stock-fund purchases, dammit!
Ah! I really splurged on that one!
They're firing at us! They're shooting smoke bombs!
Watch out, they're diving in!
It's smoky...
Nobuki!
Let's go!
Fall back! Retreat to the guard tower!
Tch, we're done.
We're going.
Okay!
If I had to say...
...this kind of feels like a "Honey House Tour" type thing that I didn't know about.
Glad you like it.
Looks like things are fine over there.
I have to go find Ukai's room before it's too late.
Let's see, look for number three on the Kaku floor...
It's the one with an orange triangle roof, the wooden window and wooden door.
Huh?
Should I start looking from here?
Not here.
Not here!
No-
It's not over there, you know. No-
It's not over there, you know.
This is what you're looking for, right? Ukai's honey wine.
Yeah, thanks for your help, Tsumujimaru.
Heh. Scared you a bit, didn't I?
That jerk Higaki wants to use this to make Ukai's julep, right?
He said that it's a magic drink.
Ha! What the hell is he talking about?
Then I'm going to go ahead and take it.
Alright.
But this place really has everything, doesn't it?
But the stairs are obstructed, and the suspension bridge has fallen.
This is an inaccessible corner of land.
Of course, a newcomer couldn't make it here. Serves them bastards right!
By the way...
I'm hungry. Is there any food here?
I haven't brought anything...
Hey, guys!
Look, it's those newcomers...
They're eating some delicious-looking food!
It's really good, huh?
This method of getting around is something made by the veterans a long time ago.
I'm the longest-serving one.
Hey, Higaki.
The number of tenants here is going to increase steadily from now on.
Someday, when I die...
I'm going to leave this place to you.
What kind of place will you make it into?
I...
Higaki!
I can see it! It's the guard tower!
I sure am hungry, though...
I wanna hurry and end this then have a drink at the pub.
Excuse me, I want to ask you something.
At the end of the day, is everyone's goal to stop the concert?
No, not really.
Huh?! Then what is it?
It's because you ignore us.
Right?
And it's more interesting to get in the way.
Yep, yep.
It's been really fun up to now. I didn't expect that.
Those brats were surprisingly not bad, huh?
Honey House has to be like this...
How self-centered...
Also, that outsider girl...
She'll definitely get swept up in this horseplay, as long as she's being stubborn.
What?
Wh-what's that?!
Something's outside...
Hakumei!
Ow...
Hey, you seem to be doing well, Konju.
No better than you, though.
Don't be alone again.
I'll drop the suspension bridge.
You bastards fix it later.
Yakatamori...
Higaki...
You're being completely reckless, Old Man.
And at this time of the night...
Hmph. Well, I don't deal well with the sun.
So? Did you do it?
Take a drink and see.
No. This isn't Ukai's drink.
It wasn't this delicious!
A guest created this for me.
She also made it according to the recipe, but...
I finally remembered.
That was disgusting.
It reeked of alcohol, right? And there was too much mint in it.
But that honey wine was always disgusting.
E-excuse me...
Where's ours?
There's some downstairs!
Let's all drink together. And please, let me sing to you casually.
Newcomers! We give in! We have lost!
And we'll give you back the songstress, too!
So please, spare us!
Okay, one more song... Here I go!
Good grief. Nothing's changed at Honey House from way back when.
That isn't true.
The number of people that don't know Ukai is growing.
Well, that's probably okay.
As long as we remember him, that's enough.
What's this? You stopped referring to only yourself?
Hey, you two!
Hakumei-san, Mikochi-san. We caused you so much trouble this time...
Ah, don't worry about that. More importantly, let me drink that.
I don't mind. It really is bad.
Well?
It's...
Right?
When I die, I'm leaving this building to you.
What kind of place do you want it to be, Higaki?
I think...
...anything is okay.
"Anything goes," huh? That sounds good.
SEKI KIN
Wow, this is disgusting, Ukai.
