Spanner!
That's not a barrier!
I have no control over it!
Spanner!
That was close...
A shaft, here?
This isn't how I remember the layout of the base.
This must be Irie's doing.
Irie's?
According to Gokudera's information, he can freely move the interior of the base around.
Amazing...
Shoichi would come up with a mechanism like that.
Tsuna!
Reborn, what did you forget to ask?
Ah, you didn't leave that important charm behind, did you?
No, I didn't leave it behind.
That's good.
Th-These are...
Way beyond your typical carnivorous plants!
Guys...
Don't get in my way!
Target 132 Final Defense Block
It's sparkling-clean now.
Right, Kyoko-chan?
Kyoko-chan?
What is it, Haru-chan?
Is something wrong?
I thought I heard Tsuna-kun's voice...
What?! Tsuna-san's back?!
No, Haru-chan!
Eek?
It just felt that way.
I must have been imagining it.
Sorry.
I see.
That's too bad.
I wonder what Tsuna-san and the others are doing right now...
Huh?
We haven't heard from them,
and Reborn-chan and the rest are cooped up in their room.
And we can't find I-Pin-chan and Lambo-chan...
I'm really concerned.
I'm worried about I-Pin-chan and Lambo-chan too,
but I'm sure Futa-kun will find them.
So it'll be fine.
And I'm sure Tsuna-kun and everybody else are giving it their all.
They'll all come back safe and sound.
Kyoko-chan...
Because there's no way any of them would be defeated.
I have faith.
Don't you feel the same, Haru-chan?
You're right!
Tsuna-san's unbeatable!
That's great and exciting!
Yeah, and I'm sure they'll be starving when they get back.
We should make lots of food while we wait for them.
Yep!
Now that that's decided, let's go all-out!
Oh, I know!
Let's take some munchies over to Reborn-chan and the others.
Sure.
Futa-kun did mention how hungry he is.
I'm not as good as I-Pin-chan,
but we can still make some yummy fried rice to take to them.
Yeah.
The Vongola boy has broken through the third defense block.
That's fine.
I expected as much.
However, there's still more to my defense blocks.
This is bad, Tsuna.
Irie knows exactly what we're doing.
Stay focused, Tsuna.
Yeah.
Shoichi is always cautious.
He plans ahead with infallible precautions.
But...
Something's off.
It's like he's getting impatient...
He's probably desperate to keep us from advancing any farther.
It means we're close to our destination.
Hurry up.
Yeah.
Here they come!
Tsuna, go to the left.
Got it.
Homing weapons, huh?
We can't give in now.
They're faster than us.
They'll catch up in no time.
I can't speed up. Spanner's body won't be able to take it.
Don't worry about me, Vongola.
I won't hold you back.
What do you intend to do?
I've got something on me.
Not this...
Here it is!
It's like the chaff or flares you'd find on fighter jets to fend off missiles.
So those flames were...
This chaff/flare dispenser underwent some custom alterations
so it could counter new Deathperation Flame-seeking weapons.
Deathperation Flame-seeking weapons...
I'm very familiar with the weapons used by the Millefiore.
I even developed some of them.
Damn you, Spanner.
Now you've done it.
Master Irie...
Another mess...
There wasn't any need for you to take it apart.
Didn't I give you the blueprints?
These weapons aren't free, Spanner.
Yeah...
What, can't you trust something created by someone else?
I think the stuff you make is extraordinary.
I'm impressed that you can come up with ideas I'd never think of.
Then-
That's why I want to touch them with my own hands and see them with my own eyes.
It's more fun that way.
Wouldn't you agree, Shoichi?
As a fellow engineer, I can't say that I don't understand your feelings.
It seems I've picked up a habit of being betrayed by valuable subordinates.
But, it was a mistake to side with the Vongola.
His Guardians are gone.
And...
The final stage has been prepared.
Tsunayoshi Sawada...
The ultimate and final defense block awaits you.
Not bad, Spanner.
Once this is all over, I'd like to see you in an invention contest against our mechanic.
Bring it on!
My inventions won't be topped by a Millefiore mechanic!
There you have it.
He's up to the challenge.
Invention... contest?
I won't be beaten either.
This may sound arrogant,
but as someone who serves as the Vongola's mechanic,
I'd prefer that you not group me together with those other guys.
It's true that your new-type Moska and contact display are superb creations, but...
Reborn-san.
Tsuna.
We're almost to the point where Kusakabe's message originated from.
Something's coming.
It's huge!
A rocket.
Leave it to me, Vongola.
I'll just use this thing to throw it off course again.
This is bad!
It isn't the homing-type!
The chaff isn't working!
Spanner, get back!
That guy...
Is he human?
It's over, Vongola.
Something's coming!
Explosives...
More are coming!
I'd like to praise you for seeing through that.
But considering I'm up against the Vongola with super intuition,
I'm not all that shocked.
This is a dead end.
You won't lay a single finger on the lab.
Looks like he uses illusions.
Vongola!
He's one of the six Funeral Wreaths!
The Phantom Knight!
Wh-Why is he here?
Wasn't he fighting with the others?
What others?
You mean your Guardians?
They put up quite a fight,
but they're probably long gone by now.
What did you do?!
You may be Vongola X,
but you're still just a child.
Vongola!
That guy's the real deal.
As far as I can tell, he's on the same level as the future Hibari when it comes to martial arts.
Tsuna doesn't stand a chance against him right now.
Hey!
It's another episode of everyone's favorite "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Hey, Haru.
Yes?
What's that thing behind you?
This was something prepared for today's guest.
And that would be Mukuro Rokudo-san!
Again?
I'd rather you not call me out here so casually.
So you say, and yet here you are.
You have an unexpected habit of adhering to your obligations.
I didn't come by choice, Arcobaleno.
It's simply in my contract.
So, what do you want?
Right!
True to my word, I finished the costumes I mentioned last time.
So, I wanted my cosplay buddy, Mukuro-san, to model them for me!
Here they are!
Ta-da!
Do you like them?
They're some of my best work!
No way I'm wearing those.
Eek?
Cosplay isn't my thing.
Really?
If you simply must make costumes,
I'd rather you fashion uniforms from schools across Japan.
I happen to like the Kokuyo Middle uniform,
but I'm interested in seeing what else is out there.
School uniforms?
I don't know if I could get them from every school...
Ah, I know!
We can probably ask Tsuna-san and everybody else for Namimori Middle's uniform!
I won't wear the same uniform as the Vongola boy and his stooges.
I refuse to fraternize with the Mafia.
Huh?
But, I think Namimori Middle's uniform is pretty cool.
Especially when Tsuna-san's wearing it!
Actually, if you can use illusions,
can't you just make an illusion of whatever outfit you want and change as often as you like?
Oh, you didn't realize that?
I refuse to participate in this worthless charade.
If you'll excuse me.
Huh?! No way!
The interview isn't over yet!
He ran away.
Eek!
Mukuro-san turned into a girl!
It's another illusion!
I...
Ciao-su, Chrome.
You get to clean up after Mukuro.
Are you the one I missed last time, Cream Dokuro-san?!
I can't let this chance slip away!
Emergency guest change!
And this time, I'll uncover the truth!
Cream Dokuro-san!
Did you really kiss Tsuna-san on the cheek?!
Huh? The boss?
That was... a greeting.
A-A greeting?!
So you really kissed him!
I'm so very jealous!
I haven't kissed him yet!
Hey!
Eek?
Where's Mukuro-san?!
Where's Mukuro-san, awhoo?!
Wh-What is this?!
An unexpected intrusion?!
You guys are here too?
Now the whole Kokuyo bunch has shown up.
Ken. Chikusa.
We heard that Master Mukuro was here.
Where is he?
'Fess up already!
Master Mukuro switched places with me and disappeared.
What was that?!
Switch with Mukuro-san!
Switch right now!
That's impossible.
Master Mukuro went somewhere far away.
He seriously wanted out of here.
Just let me see Mukuro-san!
Ken, you're annoying.
U-Um...
This is "Haru's Haru-Haru Interview Corner..."
Not a missing persons corner...
Shut up!
Eek!
Mukuro-san!
Ken. Chikusa.
Ah! Ah, please wait!
All these people showed up, but I didn't get to do an interview!
Just give up already, Haru.
This happens every time.
Eek...
That's all for "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
We'll see you again next time!
Hello, I'm Joshima.
I've finally found Mukuro-san, so we're taking over this corner!
It'll be called "Ken's Ken-Ken Boom Channel!"
Enjoy.
What a dumb title.
We'll just ignore Mr. Doom and Gloom Four-Eyes over here.
After a tearful reunion, our first guest is Mukuro-san!
Good grief.
I thought I was finally free of that annoying girl's corner...
Mukuro-san!
It's been so long!
To celebrate our reunion, I'm going to conduct a hardcore interview!
I see.
So you want me to play along with this charade?
Huh? Mukuro-san?
Are you mad?
Not at all.
Of course not.
Let's get this over with.
Master Mukuro, I apologize for Ken's idiocy.
Shut up!
Only idiots call other people idiots!
Anyway, let's start with the number one question on everyone's mind!
What might that be?
Is Mukuro-san's hairstyle pineapple-inspired?
Ken...
I-I'm not the one asking!
That's what the letter says!
Look!
This is obviously Ken's handwriting.
It's even spelled wrong.
Huh? Crap! I screwed up!
Ken.
Shall I punish you?
M-Master Mukuro, what are you going to do with that pineapple?
Ow!
I'm sorry!
I won't call you a pineapple head!
You just said it again.
I'm sorry!
Ow! That hurts!
Pineapple head!
That's all for Ken's Ken-Ken something...
You shouldn't expect another episode.
Next time:
A Game-Changing Move.
See you next time!!
