It's almost time.
Yeah.
Once this is completed
there will be a great leap in modern medicine.
Will you take a break after this research?
Yeah. Just like you said.
The young lady would be happy too.
Who knows.
She's at that age where she'd prefer to
spend time with her boyfriend than with her father.
What happened?
T-This is...
It's going to be okay.
Huh?
Because it hasn't become desperate
Despair?
It's what lies beyond hope.
Hope…
Master...
are we desperate?
And this is?
If something ever happens to me, go to him.
U-Um...
We have a busty guest again.
What?
What business do you have here?
I want you to rescue someone.
Please, this way.
This is the worst omen.
Master, there's a customer.
So he's the legendary Angler...
Nice to meet you.
- I see. - Yes.
You want me to save your father.
Yes.
I've lost connection to my father's facility.
What does your father research?
He works as a researcher in the Biological Application
department for the Polar Star company.
For a company this big,
don't they already have rescue teams?
They have.
Then you should leave this to them.
My father told me
to come here if anything ever happens to him.
Hm...
Um... have you...
I don't remember.
You sure you're not mistaken?
Huh?
Giving your life for the sake of others is arrogant.
I'm not interested. You may leave.
But...
My father is the only man I…
If I were to lose my father... I'll...
It's not something that uncommon. You gotta live with it.
That's cruel!
That's the truth.
I beg you!
You're the only one I can rely on!
Mister Rescuer!
I'm Inyou. I'm not a rescuer.
Huh? But that address was here...
I'll take this job.
Huh? But...
Because I can do whatever a rescuer can.
Uh… Wait!
Lady Emilia! And this is?
Um... he's...
my brother!
We entrust our father to you!
You don't have to worry.
With our company's pride, Sky Whale 7,
it'll be like having a picnic wherever we go.
Here.
Who was your brother?
They won't let any oursiders in.
And I thought it would be reasonable with your height.
Be careful.
Make fun of my height again, and
that helicopter may have an unfortunate malfunction.
Zero.
Ye-Yes, Master!
Find out where our destination is.
Understood.
All of them were annihilated...
Emilia...
We are now within the altitude of Magmel. Prepare Level 3.
Level 3, waiting for order!
Kel-Bear...
Generally, these animals eat soft minerals.
But once angered, their hide turns steel-hard and their rage becomes something unstoppable.
Currently, the lab is surrounded by approximately 30 Kel-Bears.
It's an emergency situation, all right.
Until we get there, anyway.
950,000...
...is the number of missing people in Magmel every year.
One-third of them are unable to return alive,
including armed personnel, of course.
You sure know a lot!
Looks like you've memorized your lessons.
Rest assured!
We'll make sure you're in the other two-thirds.
Professor! The rescue team is here!
Oh!
It's strange.
Hm? You think so?
Why do our guns work on their steel-hard pelts?
Those bullets are
the fruits of our researches in Magmel...
That's not what I'm thinking.
Why are Kel-Bears attacking researchers?
Because they're wild animals.
Don't worry, young lady.
We'll reach them no matter what.
Go!
This is Squad A, one bear down.
Squad C, we have one injured and one dead bear.
Good work.
Professor! We're going to be saved!
Yeah.
Master.
I know.
It's here.
Send me the footage.
Understood.
T-This is a Skellgargon!
Why is the ruler of 7th Ward here?
It was lured by the Kel-Bear blood.
What should we do?
An unidentified object is rapidly approaching our location!
A rock...? How could a rock fly?
Skellgargons can throw boulders like they're baseballs.
Kyaa!
Be ready to fire the port side armaments!
Shit!… How could this happen?!
The Dragon Breath Bomb has...
No way...
Withdraw at full speed!
Wait a minute, at this rate...
Everyone is as good as dead!
You're aweful!
What are you doing?
Hold onto me.
Huh?
We're going to save your father.
Who in the world is that brat?
Zero, report on its condition.
Understood.
Can you use this?
I can only do the arming part.
You have to, if you want to save your father.
Will it be okay?
What is this…?
Which one should die?
Hey! What are you doing?
Have you ever thought why
did Magmel appear in this world?
Because the world was too boring.
Um... Uh...
Dear researchers! No, dear kidnappers!
Please release the hostages you held!
Do that, and you'll be saved!
Professor!
Let's see which one will get shot.
This hat...
It is the rescuer's!
We will do as you told!
Professor!
Release the children.
Hm...
Consider yourself lucky.
Fire!
Okay!
It will definitely miss!
I'm sorry.
Today, your luck has run dry.
Inyou...
Inyou!
No way...
In...you...
Wait right here.
The Kel-Bears came to save their children.
After refinement, Kel-Bear cubs' blood
will become harder than anything else.
This is patented by the Polar Star company.
You've been killing parents with bullets made from their children's blood.
That's brutal.
Shut up, you runt!
Please wait.
You're the rescuer…
You have to cherish your daughter.
A helicopter crash occured due to unknown reasons.
There were no casualities.
My father won't work in Magmel anymore.
That's good.
Hey, Zero.
What is it, Master?
Someday you will grow bigger.
Same goes for you.
You're right.
Why do people tend to go Magmel
despite being aware of its danger?
Because they want money.
Is it really that simple?
That's how greed works.
By the way, Zero, what were you eating?
Pudding.
Where is my portion?
Right here.
But since I want to eat more, I won't give it up.
- Eh? - This is greed.
Next time: "Rainbow Bat"
You should watch with your pudding ready.
