LEGENDARY MONSTER

WOO

APPEARS

This is...

a ski slope deep in the mountains...

far removed from the city.

It was established recently...

and it's popular because it gets lots of snow.

On holidays, it is filled with many skiers.

Okay.

Watch the head.

Are you alright? Hey!

Heave-ho!

Hang in there!

Hurry up!

Take his clothes off.

Over there!

There!

If we had been an hour later...

he'd be dead by now!

What happened?

No idea.

He was passed out at the base of Mt. Iidayama.

Pull yourself together!

Get him warmer!

Get it together!

Don't die! Pull together!

Hey!

What happened?

How could a veteran hunter like yourself...

get lost like that?

I was attacked...

by Woo.

Woo?!

That's crazy!

How could something like that exist now?

It must have been an illusion right before death!

I really...

saw it.

While chasing a mother and child bear...

I suddenly got lost at unlucky Mt. Iidayama.

I got worried.

Anyway, I had been chasing my prey for three whole days.

I had finally found them.

Or so I thought, as I readied my gun.

But when I looked closely, it wasn't a bear.

It was Yukinko!

I thought, "Not again!, " and became angry.

She's interfered with our hunts...

many times before.

I thought I'd teach her a lesson...

and fired my gun to scare her.

Wait, Yukinko!

Don't run from me!

Hey, you!

Hey!

How dare you run!

Hey!

Woo!

Woo!

Save me!

Woo!

Save me!

Woo!

Hey, Woo!

It's Woo!

Woo!

Hey, Woo!

It wasn't an illusion!

It was the Woo that my grandmother...

used to tell me about!

Woo?!

- Really? - I can't believe it!

But...

if it is true...

the skiers will stop coming...

and we'll be in trouble!

Let's have the police investigate!

It would be better to ask the Science Patrol!

This news...

of the veteran hunter lost in the mountains...

was reported to the Science Patrol by local police.

Muramatsu sent Ide, Arashi, and Hayata...

to the scene to investigate this report.

So then, is this Woo monster...

a fictional creature, like Yukionna or Umibouzu?

Anyway...

the hunter swears that he did see it.

They say that snowy mountains can deceive people.

The mysteries of the mountain showed the hunter that vision.

I'd like to think so, too.

Yeah, she fell!

- Nice! - She fell!

- Good job! - Great!

Yukinko...

my older brother...

almost died because of Woo!

You're not Yukinko...

you're a monster child!

Woo only appeared because you're here.

Get out of our village!

Woo won't do anything bad!

Why are you so cruel?

I just want peace with everyone...

so why do you cast me out?

Yukinko...

everyone says you're the child of a Yukionna.

How could we be your friends?!

Go away!

Do it!

The Science Patrol!

How cool!

Yukinko...

the Science Patrol is here...

to get rid of Woo!

Prepare to land.

Amazing!

There's lots of air up here!

What a beautiful view!

That's the problem, Mt. Iidayama.

We call it the phantom snow mountain.

For some reason, only that mountain...

is covered in snow, even in the summer.

Do strange air currents flow there?

No idea.

The meteorologists, too...

call it "mystery zone" as they're completely stumped.

How can we get to Mt. Iidayama?

You'll reach it if you take that course, but...

Is it very dangerous?

Yes, it is.

Woo is a legendary creature from these parts...

so I don't think it really exists.

But if they hear rumors of Woo, skiers won't come...

and the Mountain Emergency Team...

will stop helping us here, too.

It's a real problem.

Please use all of your power...

to get to the bottom of this.

We understand.

If there really is a monster defiling this beautiful mountain...

the Science Patrol will destroy it at once, with our new weapons.

Leave it to us.

Where did the hunter see Woo?

In this valley here.

Hayata, Ide and Arashi...

skied quickly toward the mountain.

Over here.

- Let's go! - Okay!

That's odd.

It's totally different than the map!

Speaking of which...

we're heading away from Mt. Iidayama!

Maybe a snow angel...

is telling us it's dangerous by changing the signs?

No...

someone's trying to interfere.

Let's keep an eye on the summit while moving.

Let's go.

Help me!

Hey!

- Hayata! - Hayata!

- Are you okay? - Ow!

Who put a hole here?!

Wait!

You did this!

Why did you do that?!

Don't you know who we are?

You're awful people who call everything monsters...

as an excuse to kill!

Awful people?

You're wrong.

The Science Patrol...

only kills monsters who interfere with the peace of humans.

Liar!

You came to kill Woo!

Woo?

You...

Does the monster the hunter saw...

really exist?

Woo's not a monster!

What's her problem?!

That was Yukinko.

Yukinko?

What is she?

Of course she's a normal human girl.

It was 15 years ago...

on the night of a snowstorm.

There was a mother and child found at the side of the road.

The mother...

was already dead from the freezing cold...

but, for some reason, the child was fine.

But because of this...

the villagers feared her as the child of a Yukionna...

and no one would take her in.

But at the base of Mt. Iidayama...

there was an old charcoal maker named Kisuke...

who took her in after hearing the story.

That old man died two years ago...

and Yukinko was alone.

She became a pretty young lady...

but she's generally mistrusted...

because she doesn't understand the norm.

On top of that...

because of this Woo business...

she's become even more hated by the villagers.

Now everyone avoids her.

I wonder how she lives?

Hayata!

It's shameful for a Science Patrol member...

to scream just because of a sprain!

Mr. Akita.

As far as that girl, Yuki, goes...

What?

Actually...

I lost my mother at a young age, too.

Is that so?

Well, when you think about it...

she is an unfortunate girl.

But with this Woo problem...

considering the fate of the village...

we just can't sympathize with her.

Is that so?

I feel like I really understand...

how she feels.

This is bad! It's a monster!

Run!

Run, quickly!

- Look! - It's Woo!

- Save me! - Help!

Let us down!

Save us!

Stop!

Don't shoot! Don't kill Woo!

Woo, don't hurt people!

If you hurt people...

we'll never be their friends!

So go home to the mountain!

Don't worry about me!

Hurry, to the mountain!

Stop!

Stop!

Woo, if you get angry...

I can't stay in the village anymore!

Please!

Go back to the mountain!

Poor man!

He was drunk.

Who could have dug a hole here?

What an awful thing to do!

It was Yukinko!

It has to be her doing!

That's right!

It must be!

Dammit!

She'll destroy our village!

I can't allow it any more!

We'll chase her away!

Let's go!

Hurry!

Arashi...

Ide.

We can't avoid this any longer.

Please use your power...

to get rid of Woo.

We'll lose all our business!

Okay.

But...

I'd like to leave them alone, if possible.

This is no laughing matter.

Even if they don't do anything...

their presence on the mountain...

is a problem itself.

Also, that is a wild beast.

If it goes crazy, what will we do?

Understood.

We'll contact HQ...

and take care of it.

Let's go, Ide.

Hey, Yukinko!

We won't let you get away!

Mr. Nishiyama died...

when he fell in the hole you dug!

I didn't do it!

Liar!

Only you could do something so bad!

You are friends with a monster!

Help me!

It wasn't me!

You!

Where is it hiding?

Is that the valley?

Okay, let's shoot a missile in!

Arashi...

I have a really bad feeling...

about this case.

Don't say that!

In the end...

monsters are sad creatures that cannot be part of human society.

I think Woo is a substitute...

for Yukinko's mother, who died 15 years ago.

Could it be...

the mother's soul is still with Yuki?

Hey!

Get it together!

Getting rid of Woo is HQ's orders!

This is no time to be sentimental!

Let's go!

Wait!

Yukinko!

You can't run!

- Damn! - Wait!

Come on!

You!

I won't let you run!

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!

Hey, Woo!

Hayata to VTOL.

Hayata to VTOL!

Arashi, Ide! What's wrong?!

Woo!

Hey, Woo!

Woo!

Shuwatch!

Hey!

Hayata!

When did you--?

Is your leg okay?

Science Patrol members...

can't let a sprain stop them.

What about Woo?

He disappeared, like an illusion.

He was a legend, after all.

I see.

What about Yukinko?

She went home to the mountain.

She left after all?

I was thinking...

that maybe Yukinko...

never really existed.

Maybe the girl we saw...

was just an illusion of the mountain.

It could be.

She was cute.

I feel I'll never meet...

someone with such a pure heart, again.

Well, let's go home.
