Maria's favourite piano was stolen.
everybody misapprehend Kotori-chan's dad do that.
Meier and Kotori-chan help Maria find the piano.
They pay attention at the tug of war.
Fly away.
Haha, l got you know
Goodbye, Meier
Goodbye, Peter
l'm back!
oh... Miss, don't be so noisy
What's the matter Babara?
Your grandfather's very busy, He's looking at documents in the study room
Oh, you say grandfathers in the study looking at documents
Aren't those small everyday matters?
Maybe you're rude to say this
Hey, Meier, A few days and my work piles up like a mountain
ls it about the big tug-of war competition?
That's right it's the flower festival
Oh, that's great l'm going to tell everyone now
The tug-of war competition?
That's right, Everyone's going to bring food there
What's going on?
All of the important matters here are decided using the tug-of war
Peter, you're bluffing me aren't you?
We're telling the truth
Maria, the reason why we're able to come here to see you, is all because of the tug of war
That's right, because all the adults objected to us coming here
ln the end, we decided using the tug-of war
The competition is about to begin
Get ready
Use everything you've got...
Don't give up...
Work harder...
Use more strength...
Don't give in...
All right, stop, Meier's team wins
All of you are kids and you defeated the adults?
That's right, it means that there are lots of adults who helped us
They purposely lost
That's why it's fun
lt doesn't mean that you'll win if you have more people
Meier
Kotori-chan, B-chan, welcome
Why so loud, if Fanny sensei found out, all hell will break loose
She's not here, l saw her going out all nicely done up
l saw it, l saw it
Really really, both of you should go home now
What happened?
They have fallen asleep
Ah, are you talking about grandfather?
Oh no, what happened to them?
lt's all because of the tug-of war competition
lf l knew this would happen then l wouldn't organize this competition, how infuriating
Didn't think it would turn out like this
Don't worry, we have yet to solve the issue
What happened?
Miss, look
You'll understand after that
My respected leader
l have been frustrated with a certain matter recently and l hope that you can help me
All of the new born children will cry whenever they see your face
You're the kindest person around, why would children be scared of you?
We think that it might be because of your beard
That's why, we hope you will shave it off
We would like to suggest using the tug-of war to decide, stupid women
Miss, this is no laughing matter if we lose...
Master will have to shave his beloved beard
My chin will be cold...ha...
l'm not worried about whether my chin will freeze
But when l think about shaving this off...l think...
lt means, without this beard, l won't look like a leader but a beard can grow again
lt's easy enough to say so
lt took me ten years to grow the beard to this length
lt was growing even before you were born
Ah, so you're beard is older than me
Meier, will you help me find a way to get out of this?
ln that case hide all of the knives and scissors of the villagers
Meier, could you think of a better idea?
All right, it's done try it on for size
The music sounds horrible l have failed again
Oh dear, that's dangerous dad
Peter My musical career is//going to be over
lt's going to be over at the Tug-of war competition
Why do you say that?
Look at this
The Request list
l have some opinions concerning our musician
You destroy all of the violins that you're not satisfied with
lt's a regrettable thing to do
This time, l hope you will change and give these violins to the villagers
That's why l feel we can decide upon this at the competition
That's right, l agree
Peter, are you really my son?
Although you said those violins are no good but l think they make good music
How would you know whether they sound good or not?
lf we lose at the competition what will l do...
But l have never seen you... steal anything
Why don't you go steal a small dish to give to all the villagers?
OH no! He told you to steal a dish? How arrogant!
To please the villagers? what do you take me for?
But Dad, if you lose you have to steal it
l will think of a way no matter what we will not lose
l won't be able to account for this to our ancestors
Then you don't have the ability to defeat them
l must win
Leguman
Are you going travelling again?
That's right, l will be successful this time
Ah...aren't you going to watch the competition?
Ha, l'll know the results even if l don't watch
You know the results?
Then tell me which side will win?
Tell me
Think about it, the first is the issue about the beard
l believe everyone would like to see what our head looks like
Ha...that's right, that's right
That's right, yes
What's the matter with the both of you?
Meier, don't you want to see?
Err...l'm feeling bad for my grandfather
You should be just like as Mr Keita would be too
After all, he wanted to destroy those violins, might as well give them away
That's right
Then, what about my dad?
About your Dad, it's not acceptable that he steals what belongs to others
But we do make exceptions
What's that?
lf he steals what others don't want then that's a good thing
That's right, you're right
That's why l won't go to the tug-of-war competition, l know the results
All right, this way l can go travelling can't l?
Are you really going? Leguman?
That's right. You guys take care
Remember to bring presents back for us
Why did you come back?
l won't go because there are always unanticipated things happening at the competition
ls that so...
Hey, B-chan, don't go
OH no, B-chan where are you hiding?
Hurry up and come out, if not...
l know, you must be hiding here
l got you
Everyone has gone to wash up and eat dinner
Yes
Hey, why are you dressed like that?
This an heirloom that has been handed down for generations
Wear it prepare to steal
Wow, it's so cool!
l have thought about it for three days and three nights, l have decided to go steal
You don't intend to go steal that dish?
l don't have time for those useless things
l would like to go steal that rope lined with red silk
Ah, the one they're using for the tug-of-war
lt's in Meier's house
Oh, really if the rope didn't exist
Grandfather wouldn't need to shave
Oh, because they wouldn't be able to hold the tug-of-war
When is he going to steal it?
Tonight at 12
At 12
l will wait for him
All right, it's all set then
Grandfather's beard touched his soup
Oh no, do you think that it's better that l shave it off?
No...nothing of the sort
Then why do you look so happy?
Because grandfather will not need to shave
Why are you so confident of that?
Whatever it is, l have a plan
Babara, we're going to have an early night
No matter what you hear don't get up
Ah...
Be careful
You have to calm down
You're wonderful dad!
Shuuu... l am going to steal now
All right, l'm going
All right, let's use this master key on the door. eh? How come it's not locked?
Eh, l almost forgot there are no locks in this village
Only the Wind House has locks
Ah, he's coming
lf l can't find even this Others will definitely call me useless
That's great because l can't find the rope
They won't be able to hold the tug-of-war
All right, got sleep
Hey, Meier, hurry up and wake up
Hey, Mr Houdini you're not home yet
l...l can't go back even if l wanted to because l can't find what l came here to find
The rope has disappeared?
Where is that rope? l can't find it anywhere
Meier, maybe it's the head himself we hide it somewhere else
You're saying Grandfather hid it?
Why would he want to have his beard shaved off?
That's right, if the rope wasn't around the competition would not be able to continue
Ah, you didn't lie to me that's really great ha...
This is great, l'm so happy
Yeah great...
All right, l can continue to destroy those violins that don't satisfy me
He hid the rope he should tell me at least
Then l won't have to work so hard don't you think?
Hey, could you not destroy those violins in the future?
lt's not fair...
l just brought this from the head's place
l think tomorrow's tug-of-war will be really interesting
Houdini, what do you say about not being able to find it?
Everyone, be quiet the competition is about to begin
First of all, the first agenda is to decide if Houdini will or
Those on the right agree those on the left do not agree
Hey, everyone please go left
ls everyone ready?
Ah, Leguman
Hey, Leguman, that side means you approve of my dad stealing things
l didn't make a mistake
Why did you do that?
Everyone, get ready...
All right, stop
The result of this competition is that Houdini will steal that dish
wow, this is great!
Ah, it's like a bad dream...
Don't give up hope
Dad, do your best!
All right The second item on the agenda
Those who don't wish for violins to be destroyed go to the right
Those who do, go to the left
Leguman why are you standing there?
Because l would like your father's violin
Hmmp, l didn't know that Leguman was such a person
Everyone, get ready...
The competition stopped
This is a record shortest time the decision is not to allow
the violins to be destroyed
Ah, no hope left
Dad, wait for another chance
l'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting the third item on the agenda
ls whether our head needs to shave off his beard
Those who agree stand on the right Those who don't, stand on the left
Ah, Babara
Miss, in order to preserve my grandfather's beard. l will fight to the end
That's great, Babara
Hey, Meier this time we will win
Thank you
Everyone, are you ready? do your best!
Let's see who wins
Hmmp, Leguman did we do something to you?
Hmmp, you're despicable
You guys didn't offend me l am still your good friends
Hmmp, it sounds good
All right, everyone, get ready
The competition is really intense What's the fate of the of the head's beard?
Hey, everyone, do your best go for it!
The winner has been decided, the beard goes
Miss...
Poor grandfather he has to shave that beard off
lt's all my fault, l slipped if not for that we would have won
l would that l had a beard so that l can take his place being shaved
Forget it, what is decided in this tug-of war holds
This is the rule of the village
All right, the competition is over
This is great...
Wait a moment This competition is of no use
Ah? Why do you say that?
This competition was fair and just What nonsense are you talking about?
The problem is in this rope
Ah, this was tied in the middle of the rope
Ah, why is it so much shorter? you're lying!
On no, what shall we do?
Then let's have another competition then
Why don't we decide all three issues with one competition?
Decided all three with one competition?
lf they lost three times again these kids would
Be very disappointed
This competition, if you want the children to be disappointed stand on the right
lf you want to encourage them then stand on the left
Ah, we'll be able to tell the winner very quickly
Let's continue with the tug-of-war
There is one side with no one that means the kids will win
That's great...
All of them can go back to their normal lives
The beard stays
Ah, this is great...
Thank you, Leguman
You stood in the front on purpose so that the red scarf would move, didn't you?
l didn't move that scarf
Ah, then who did it?
lt's god, because he knows that you're worried about your grandfather and fathers
That's why he helped you
Maria, that's how the tug-of-war went in our village
l believe you won't laugh at us again
