Go run through, just as your heart guides you
To the place of freedom which isn't shown on a map
In the town where a faint darkness settles
A crowd of people who hide their true faces
I struggled those days, but could not protect your smile
Soar above the sadness by piercing through
Shout out your passion
And take the pain along with you
To the future where you will meet your unknown self
During the 20th century there was a large-scale war.
It was a major battle between humans and monsters.
After bloodshed so violent that no words could ever explain...
it was the monsters who had won.
Time went by, and a new century began.
And then, people started to forget that melody.

The Cape of the Midnight Sun
1, 1, 2, 6, 1, 1, 2, 6!
There are so many hotels.
It looks like we've got some decent places to stay tonight.
So, which hotel should we go to?
Right here.
Right here?
We're camping out here tonight.
But you know...
I have no more money.
Then what are we doing in a tourist resort town like this?
I heard rumors of a well-informed lady living in this town.
I thought she might know something about the Melody of Oblivion.
That's why l...
This machine is equipped with a tent, so we'll be fine.
S h a r p c u r v e
No way Bocca! Your pants are starting to look like a tent.
It's wrong, both of us spending the night in this tiny little tent.
You're a pervert.
Why is that? We've been sharing rooms up until now.
But there's always been two separate beds, right?
That's why I set up two futons.
You're up to something.
Thank you for the past week. I think it's time that I go out on my own.
You're up to something as well.
I'm not the type of girl who's satisfied with instant ramen...
for dinner and sleeping with a guy who's not even her boyfriend.
This is instant soba!
I'll do a little work to make some money, and stay at a hotel.
Bye.
What's with the hand? Pervert.
You're not planning to steal again?
Such morals! This is why I hate the warriors of Melos!
You like Kurofune so much and he's a warrior of Melos, too.
I didn't like him just because he happens to be a warrior of Melos!
It just so happens that the guy I fell in love with, turned out to be a warrior!
Well, that's how it is. Let's meet again if we're still alive.
Bye-bye!
Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to our hotel.
Parking Lot
Exit
Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to our hotel.
Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.
We'll be looking forward to your next visit
From all of the staff
Pardon me sir...
Are you looking for a place to stay?
If so, then please do stay at our hotel.
You can enjoy the best seafood in this area.
Now, sir, please come this way.
Wait, I'm not looking for a place to stay.
Really? So, then are you...?
I'm looking for a person...
a famous lady who knows many things and lives in this town.
Do you know where she is?
A lady who knows many things?
Oh, sir, you are still young.
You shouldn't get caught staying in such a dreary hotel.
If you would like to see the aurora floating under the midnight sun...
then our hotel has the best observation tower to view it from.
Here, please come this way.
Like I just said...
An aurora? I've heard that you can't see those under the midnight sun.
This isn't even the right location to see them.
Yes. Isn't it wonderful? This is the only place like it in the whole world.
Now, this way sir.
The lady who has the most knowledge around here...
would most likely be the President of the Resort Committee.
President of the Resort Committee?
Yes. She lives near that lighthouse.
It's a mansion surrounded by a big wall, so you can't miss it.
Thank you. I'll try there.
It is not good to just barge in, Miss Hamasaki.
I'm just Miss Hamasaki now?
Yes.
I would like to see the President of the Resort Committee.
And whom may I ask is calling?
I am a traveler.
Do you have an appointment?
No, unfortunately I don't.
I'm very sorry, but she is not seeing anyone at this moment.
If you like, you could leave your name.
My name is Bocca.
Mr. Bocca?
I'm one of the people fighting against the monsters.
The fog is coming out again.
A town of the midnight sun. A town where the morning never comes.
In a town like this, I'm sure I can find plenty of suckers.

Hana Mark Dried Fish
Sorry.
Hold on a second.
What's with the hand?
Hey, girl! You're cute.
Yeah, I hear that a lot.
Are you from around here? Wanna go out with me tonight?
- I'll throw you to the police...
- Ouch! - I'll throw you to the police...
you dirty old man!
My loot! My loot!
Old men are so cheap!
That one should have something, Miss I'm-a-sucker.
Hey, it's me. Yes, I brought it.
What? Oh, the red lighthouse?
All the others won't come out of their rooms now, so it's even better for us.
Taking money from a guy? Kids these days are sure getting smart.
I'll be fine. You don't have to worry so much.
Ah, sorry.
No, it was nothing.
Hello? Q-chan? Q-chan?
What are you doing?! Hurry!
Somebody, help.
It won't work! No one will come.
I'm to be the sacrifice...
Hide!
Ring out! My Melos!
Flush!
He did it!
Oh, no.
Was that one of the monster's pawns?
A chicken wing as a pawn?
Hey, are you ok?
So it has finally come down to me.
Where have you been, Q-chan?!
Big sister.
When the lighthouse is red you're not supposed to go out!
Wait just one moment. You're hurt! What happened?!
These people saved my life.
Oh, you're...
Oh, yes.
Please, come this way.
My parents would be upset with me if I were to let you go...
without offering anything after what you've done for us.
But...
Lucky-ki!
What is lucky-ki?! And that isn't yours is it?
What a gorgeous hotel.
Because it's a gorgeous hotel, we're lucky-ki!
She cares about her little sister very much.
What are you looking at?
What? Stop messing around while I'm sewing!
Looks like you two make a good couple.
We aren't like that!
I am the manager of this hotel. My name is Keiko Hamasaki.
Wow. At such a young age?
Yes, my parents own many of the hotels in this town.
They must be rich.
My name is Bocca. And this is Sayoko. As you can see, we're just travelers.
More like drifters.
Oh yes, Bocca...
were you able to see the President of the Resort Committee?
No, they told me to come back at a later time.
I see.
Yes.
Pardon me for asking, but which hotel are you staying at now?
Um, well, that is...
If you like, please stay at this hotel.
You're welcome to stay as many days as you like.
It's the least I could do for the person who saved my sister's life.
Well, if you insist. Oh, but please give us separate rooms.
Hey, stop being so...!
I know you are also thinking that it's so lucky-ki!
What is with that "lucky-ki"?
Q-chan!
Wakadan?
Q-chan!
I was so worried! I was really worried, Q-chan!
Don't be so reckless.
I wanted to see you! I just wanted to see you!
We are always seeing each other.
I want to see you more and more and more!
I want us to be together as much as we can!
Q-chan! You are acting like such a baby!
But...
Bocca, you should move your motorcycle. I'll show you the way to the parking lot.
Oh, yes.
She cares about her little sister very much?

That person, Wakadan. Didn't we see him earlier?
He's the son of the owners for the hotel next door.
Is something the matter?
This is an Aibar machine.
Oh, you know what it is? It's a weapon used to fight against the monsters.
Don't tell me you believe in such nonsense?
Nonsense?
Monsters cannot be defeated by mere machines.
What do you mean "ah"?
"Ah" means ah!
What do you mean "Ah means ah"?
Ah means ah!
Why are you just barging into a young lady's room without permission?
Pervert.
You're being troublesome entering...
a boy's room without permission, Miss Sayoko.
And you're the one who requested to have separate rooms.
Tadaa! Look, look! It's a yukata!
See! See! Don't get any weird ideas, little boy.
Sorry to break this to you, but that is my yukata!
Oh, no! Lord Bocca! Please let me go! Please let me go!
You know.
What?
There is something definitely strange about that robot monster.
What do you mean "robot monster"?
The robot monster. The one that attacked that girl, Q-chan.
Also that woman, Keiko seems a bit suspicious.
I wonder if the President of the Resort Committee has anything to do with this.
I have to go.
Clueless.
Snake Fireworks Ship
Oh, miss, you shouldn't need a parasol here.
That's true. I forgot that I didn't need one here.
My son was crying in my dreams.
You people have already accepted this, right?
He said that it was dark, painful, and excruciating!
When it comes time to sacrifice your own child, you all become angry.
How selfish.
Die!
Give me back my brothers!
I shall show you my snake fireworks.
Are there any that might be good to add to your collection?
Let's see.
They're all junk!
Such good summer vegetables.
Since this place is always under the midnight sun...
vegetables and fruits do not grow well here.
But fresh produce can be brought from other towns.
The tourists would not put up with distasteful food.
You are very young. So you are a warrior of Melos?
I heard rumors while traveling...
that maybe you would know about the Melody of Oblivion.
The Melody of Oblivion.
During the war in 20th century...
there was a location that the monsters feared.
It was called the Oblivion Playhouse.
It's rumored that she is being confined there.
And where is that place?
I'm sorry, but I don't have any more information.
It seems there are a lot of people who believe that if you rescue her then the world could be saved.
And what about you?
The food here is wonderful. I'm totally content with my life here.
Then why did you tell me?
And how did you know that I'm a warrior of Melos?
I heard rumors that an Aibar machine pulled into town.
I wanted to see what kind of person it belonged to.
But I was told that fighting a monster with an Aibar machine is nonsense.
That is just a rumor that the monsters had spread.
Thank you very much.
Wait a moment.
Can you really see the Melody of Oblivion?
I see. Let me give you some good advice.
You better stop trying to be a warrior of Melos very quickly.
It's not too late to turn back now. Go home, if you have one to go back to.
Even the warriors of Melos can't save this society now.
You may be here to fight against those monsters...
but even if you do, no one here will be happy.
Will you be staying overnight?
We can prepare a meal for you right away.
Gokei Manor
Excuse me, but are you aware that...
children are being used as sacrifices here?
You are aware of it.
Why are you asking us?
Sorry, but we're a little busy right now.
Viva Monster Union! Viva Monster Union!
Viva Monster Union!
The monster arrived a short while ago. Not having a sacrifice prepared...
and having someone go against him, has made him very angry.
Viva Monster Union! Viva Monster Union!
What I'm doing, fighting as a warrior of Melos...
Viva Monster Union!
when it isn't something that people want?
Viva Monster Union! Viva Monster Union!
Hey, the quiet voice is sounding so sad
Why are you hiding your loneliness
And just smiling silently in front of me?
Even the night I'm losing the courage that tomorrow will come again
So, let's go as far as I can to look for new pain
If you would be by my side on the night I can't sleep
I wish for a new future, just to hold it, so I can continue walking
Forever

What do you mean the robot monster isn't really a monster?
Isn't my enemy only supposed to be the monsters?
