TOURING AFTER THE APOCALYPSE

#06 UMIHOTARU

"The world's largest cutter head at the time,

which excavated the Aqua-Line's underwater tunnel!"

UMIHOTARU

"It's a great spot for photo ops!

Let's snap one as a souvenir of our trip!"

"Fish benches!"

"The Bell of Happiness."

"Who will you think of as you ring it?"

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

So she says!

Umihotaru...

a place full of memories for Big Sis.

We did take a little detour to get here, and we ran into that storm...

but I'm so glad that we made it here.

What's this?

She says, "The nighttime view of Tokyo. Umihotaru's a great spot for night views."

You can't really tell from this photo, though.

She also says, "Taking night-view photos is hard."

But...

even if there was no storm, we wouldn't be able to see the night view.

There are no people in Tokyo, so there's no way around that.

In the first place, there are no lights.

Let's get some rest, and once the sun comes out,

want to visit the same places in the Touringram?

Uh, wow...

Huh?

So you ended up seeing it, huh?

Oh.

The biggest bummer of this trip that we can't do anything about...

it's gotta be this, right?

Wherever we go, this is the one thing that really bums us out!

UMIHOTARU SPECIALTIES SARDINE HAMBURGER STEAKS

Local cuisine that we can only look at!

I want to...

eat them, too.

Oh, please! I'm trying to tough it out, too, since it's futile!

UMIHOTARU RECOMMENDED MENU CHINESE DUMPLINGS ON SALE!

Why are these food posters pinned up all over the place in these tourist spots?

MILK SOFT-SERVE SWEET & YUMMY UMIHOTARU STRAWBERRY BUN

TODAY'S DISH WAS A SARDINE HAMBURGER STEAK. I ALWAYS HAVE ONE WHEN I COME TO UMIHOTARU. #UMIHOTARU #SOUL FOOD #YUMMY

This one even says, "Hot off the fryer"!

Big Sis got all the good stuff! No fair!

I want to go on a foodie trip, too!

Oh...

Oh, moving around made me even hungrier.

After we've taken a break, let's have something to eat, too.

Yeah.

Ouch!

Are you all right?

Sure, I just cut myself a little.

TASTES LIKE METAL

It's already healed.

Wow! This sure looks like Chiba!

I wonder if it's really sweet?

Want to go to the observation deck?

Night view? Sounds good! Let's go.

Is something the matter?

No, it's nothing.

Hmm?

Hey, Yoko!

UMIHOTARU SPECIALTIES SARDINE HAMBURGER STEAKS

Sardine hamburger steaks, it says!

Hot off the fryer?

Well?

Of course we'll have to eat them!

Ah!

Yum!

Hot off the fryer! What bliss!

Hey, I haven't seen one of these in a while!

It's a vending machine that takes cash!

I'd love to use cash!

Do we have any change?

Made in 1975 in Chiba, that's this coffee!

I'd love to taste it!

I know, right? My dad told me about it once.

It's supposed to be super sweet, right?

Found some change!

Oh!

Hey, look.

Oh, wow, so this is the Tokyo night view!

Amazing!

What's so amazing?

Huh?

What?

What kind of dream was that?

Dream?

All right!

Let's go, Airi!

TOKYO BAY AQUA-LINE

Where are we going?

We might get to see something cool.

Something cool.

Okay, I was wrong, huh?

I had that dream again.

The one from way back?

I saw the night view in it!

The one of Tokyo?

That's right! It was way more beautiful than the one in that photo!

I wish I could have shown it to you, Airi.

But I guess a dream is just a dream, huh?

Huh?

What?

It looks like the souvenir shop in my dream.

Where I had the hot-off-the-fryer sardine hamburger steak!

Huh? You had one?

It was only in my dream!

Was it good?

Um, I don't remember,

but I have a feeling it was!

Why only you, Yoko? No fair!

It was just a dream, okay?

Hey, I came here, too, just now!

It's the same as the one in my dream!

I know these, too!

Made in 1975 in Chiba, that's this coffee!

I hear it's super sweet!

- Can you hold this a second? - Mm.

Whoa, no way!

This is the money the girl in my dream dropped!

What's going on here? Crazy, huh?

Does it have the right year, too?

Year?

The year, huh?

Hmm, now that, I don't remember.

There are more here.

There. I found some, too.

Oh, wow!

It's like going treasure hunting, huh?

There's more in the back.

Oh, okay. So it's normal to find money dropped under a vending machine?

I thought that we'd found the money from my dream.

But does money ever come in handy for anything?

What?

Rats.

Yoko!

When did they get here?

Tons of them.

Airi! Let's make a run for it!

Agreed!

Ohh!

Stay away!

Nice shot, Airi!

So the money did come in handy!

We still have 1,510 yen.

There!

Take this.

Jeez, there's no end to them!

Pesky.

Now that it's come to this...

Airi, this way!

Whoo-hoo!

Yoko, blindly flailing around is risky.

I'm not moving blindly! I saw it in my dream,

so I've got this place all mapped out!

Look! A straight path down to the Serow!

Once we get on the Serow, we'll be home free!

- Huh? - Whoa!

Whoa, no way!

Uh-oh!

Ouch.

We were this close.

Airi?

Masses of them.

You're going to attack them?

On second thought, I can't.

It wouldn't be that effective against such tiny, scattered opponents,

and one wrong move could make the building collapse, trapping us alive inside.

Yeah, probably.

At this rate, they'll pick us to the bones before we even reach the Serow.

What should we do?

Hmm...

Looks like it ignited the leaked fuel.

Ignite...

The flames are scaring them away!

This is no time to rejoice.

This vehicle may be loaded with gasoline.

It's seeping out from all over.

What?

Airi! We're going to make a run for it, too!

Airi!

Perfect 10!

Use up all the money you've got!

- I'm out. - What?

Darn you!

It's no good. Can't shake them!

Airi, beam!

Whatever you can do!

Or else the rats will devour us!

I'm on it.

It got burnt to a crisp, huh...

Umihotaru?

Your premonition was right again, Yoko.

Mm...

I don't think that's what that was.

In this world, it doesn't matter what kind of premonition you may have.

That's just how dangerous and cruel it is.

I have a feeling that what I sensed was a warning from myself.

Like, "You're so consumed by the fun of your trip,

maybe you've forgotten?"

How tense we felt when we left the shelter,

how terrifying the outside world was to us...

Yoko...

- Huh? - Huh?

Oh...

- Umihotaru. - What?

It's an ostracod.

A creature that emits luminescent chemicals

when it's defending itself from enemies or courting females.

Umihotaru...

this light...

it's alive.

Hey! There!

Over there, too!

Umihotaru and lightning.

So we got to see it after all, huh? The night view.

Hey, Airi...

this world sure is incredible!

Remember how cruel it was earlier?

But now it's become this beautiful.

It's wildly unpredictable, and so it's terrifying...

but...

that's the reason why it's so thrilling, right?

No wonder I can't stop traveling!

Instead of just gazing at photos in our safe shelter,

I'd rather see the world with my own eyes!

I'll bet it was the same for the people who came before us! Right?

I know!

Mm...

I guess there's no way to take a great photo of the night view.

Another thing we have in common with our predecessors.

BIG SIS 1 EMAIL MESSAGE

TOURING AFTER THE APOCALYPSE

TOURING AFTER THE APOCALYPSE

BIG SIS 1 EMAIL MESSAGE

Huh?

What?

An email from Big Sis?

But how? Don't tell me there's reception here?

Oh! Huh? What?

For a second there, I had bars!

Hey, Airi, could there be cell phone signals in the outside world?

Huh?

Airi?

Are you listening?

What's wrong? You're spaced out.

I'm talking to you!

Ai—

Airi?

Airi!

Airi! Hey, Airi!

- Ow! - Huh? What?

A-Are you okay?

Mm... I'm fine.

I just fell over or something.

What? You shut down just now, didn't you?

I just nudged you a little, and you fell over!

I don't know what you're talking about.

What?

Did I imagine that?

But...

What about the email?

Huh?

Oh, you scared me, so I forgot all about it!

I just fell, that's all.

It's from Big Sis.

Wonder what it's about?

BIG SIS 1 EMAIL MESSAGE

What?

BIG SIS YOU MUST HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY THE SUDDEN EMAIL. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AND RESPOND.

Is this...

"Important. About Airi's Emergency Maintenance..."

Mine?

Yoko, Airi, have you been having a smooth trip?

Just now, a system glitch was detected in the AI-Re06 model...

in other words, Airi's model.

"System glitch"?

While it isn't a major error, she could freeze momentarily.

That must have been what happened just now, Airi, right?

Now that you mention it, I may have a gap in my logs.

But don't worry.

If you run the repair program, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank goodness! You'll be healed!

So please head to the research facility and undergo maintenance.

Good luck!

Research facility?

It's located...

in Tsukuba, it says!

Oh, I'm so, so glad!

So glad.

That's Big Sis for you! She knew everything!

Feels so good!

What a great day for laundry, huh?

The sky is so clear!

It's like yesterday's storm never happened!

I washed our shoes, too.

They'll dry right away.

Airi?

All right. You don't have a fever.

I don't.

Did you sleep well?

Like a log.

What about your appetite?

Healthy.

Then as soon as our laundry dries, let's head out!

Gotcha.

A research facility. Did you know that there was such a place?

No.

Maybe somebody will be waiting there for us?

I don't know.

What kind of place is Tsukuba?

It used to be known as Tsukuba Science City,

the venue for a science expo.

It served as a scientific hub

for space and biology research institutes and universities... it seems.

Are you kidding? Sounds interesting!

While I'm undergoing maintenance, why don't you get yourself looked at, too?

Me, too?

Oh, but I'm fine.

You know I've never once gotten sick before, right?

I have a lot of confidence in my health!

They say that some types never catch cold.

Even if I get hurt, I'm all healed up after a little nap.

But you said that you have weird dreams.

What?

Yeah...

You're right. I used to think

that I might be dreaming about what I saw in the Touringram.

But yesterday, I was able to walk through this building,

which wasn't even mentioned in the Touringram.

Meaning what?

Meaning...

those dreams were my secret special powers!

I may be unconsciously activating them in my sleep

and traveling through time to the old world!

Someday, I might be able

to go back and forth between the past and the present!

I think you should get yourself looked at after all.

This is it! It's the same!

The Bell of Happiness, which you ring while thinking about your loved ones.

Yes!

You pray that you and your loved one will have a happy future.

One more push.

Whoa!

Hey, Airi, who were you thinking of when you rang the bell?

That should be obvious.

I know, right?

Three, two...

The Serow's sprouted wings!

We're going to soar all the way to Tsukuba!

Yeah!
