What's the matter? Lack of sleep is bad for your skin, you know!

Can fairies even get sleep deprived?

This is fairy discrimination!

"With Love from the Sacred Land"

Good morning, everyone!

Let's do our best again today!

Go on, eat to your heart's content!

Wow, is this Japanese cuisine?

That's right! It's a staple breakfast from an island country far in the East!

It's a healthy, well-balanced meal!

Is this weird-smelling thing actually edible?

It's called takuan.

Takuan?

It's a daikon that's been pickled in rice bran and salt.

They're also preserved to eat.

It's my first time seeing one in person, but...

This is pretty good!

There's no way something this bizarre tastes good...

Well, I guess you could say it's good.

You've got that right! It's tasty!

The smell is peculiar, but it's good.

Here, Yama. Say "ah"!

I told you. Don't call me Yama.

Yama! Emergency meeting!

Will you ever listen? Don't call me Yama!

There's apparently an Excalibur near some city called Great Field.

Huh? Great Field?

I volunteer.

That's what I call enthusiasm! Let's go together then!

Whoa, hold up. I'm with Yamaneko this time.

Sorry, Dancho.

She's usually annoyed to do this sort of thing.

It's weird she's this enthusiastic.

That's true, but Yamaneko has always had a staunch side to her.

You're correct!

Despite how she acts, she's quite serious when it comes to the mission!

In the future, Great Field is famous for producing daikon,

and flourishes with takuan as its specialty.

Takuan again?

Well I like this takuan!

♪ Reach you! Reach you! My melody. Resound in the blue sky ♪

Ooh, what's that?! It's super cute!

I wanna take 'em home!

♪ Reflect back again, because I want a dazzling season ♪

It's a video from harvest season.

The girls in the town

celebrate the harvest by dancing. ♪ My feelings hotter than the sun, I want to sear on you ♪

It says the place was thriving

with tourists in this era.

Yeah? Oh, what's that?

It's a winner of the Best Takuan Contest held every year.

Best takuan? I'd sure like to eat that...

Festivals are the best!

I danced all the time at the festivals back home!

What kind of dance?

This kind of dance!

Don't you think it's cool?!

It's just a goofy party stunt.

Try it, Kakka!

Who would want to?

Me, me! I'll do it!

Please, don't! You absolutely will not!

Wow!

Wow...

What's that?

Daikon?

Isn't it supposed to be harvest season?

It's strange... There was nobody in the fields either...

The city's eerily quiet.

It's creeping me out!

Let's split up and investigate.

Roger that.

Let's go, Coopy.

All right! Wee!

What was that?

I sensed someone.

This is the place, without a doubt.

Is there something important about it?

In our era, this is a special place...

A sacred land.

Hmm... Looks like a normal plaza to me.

You're right. To most people, it's just a normal place.

But I came here in order to protect it.

I don't quite get it...

But, if it means so much to you,

I'll put my whole heart into protecting it too!

Dad! It's dangerous! Come back!

Go back inside. This is a once-a-year festival.

I'm not letting it get cancelled.

I know how excited you've been for the Takuan Contest.

But what if they spot you?

Look out!

Get down!

Incredible!

But, those nunchaku...

It's takuan!

Run for cover!

Tsk!

Is everyone okay?

I think I'm all right, but...

My girl...

Don't move.

Who are you?

Stop, he's not an enemy. He's the one who saved us.

Is that... an Excalibur?

That's what you would think, but it's regular takuan!

It's flexible like a whip, but it packs a surprising punch!

Yeah? Sorry for aiming a gun at you.

Are you the travelers I've heard so many rumors about?

Rumors?

I heard they're solving all kinds of trouble.

And even slayed a dragon!

Sounds like we're becoming pretty famous.

Then it really is you!

Um, do you think you'd be able to help us?

♪ My feelings hotter than the sun, I want to sear on you ♪

♪ Falsetto my heart, go crazy from summer ♪

♪ Choose me! Choose me! Choose me, please! ♪

♪ One in a million... For you, for me! ♪

All these takuan are being put to sleep!

Is this some ritual?

All these here... are people from the city. Right?

Yeah.

Up until recently, they were all preparing for the festival.

I wish this was all just a bad dream...

Now even my daughter is...

What's happening in this city?

It's my sister... It's Loretta's revenge.

There must be a mistake!

How is it that an outsider like you with no daikon expertise is the winner?!

My dad's takuan is better than anyone's!

Loretta, it's fine...

It's fine...

But...!

Loretta believed in my dad so much,

she insisted the contest was rigged.

Something's wrong! My dad's takuan was never this bad!

Huh? What are you saying?

It's obvious the legendary takuan master has finally lost his touch.

Tsk!

Then a few days ago, Loretta came back to the city after nearly a year.

I won't allow the harvest festival!

Everyone was looking forward to the festival.

We even invited Utahime this year, and it was shaping up to be grand.

Utahime...

Why not have the same grand festival you've been planning then?

Yamaneko... Do you have a plan or something?

We'll be the bait.

We'll start preparing for the festival and draw her out.

But if you do that, you'll be in danger!

Don't worry about us. It's all part of the job.

Leave it to us.

I found two positions optimal for sniping.

Can you search for heat sources and identify which one the Arthur's at?

Of course!

Got her.

Show me the way there.

You've got it!

Rurou...

It's dangerous. What do you want?

Hurry back home.

We won't let you do everything yourselves.

It's our city's festival.

--Yeah! --That's right!

Yeah. That may be true, but...

I have faith in that girl.

Okay, everyone! Let's start!

All right, daikon! Daikon, daikon, daikon!

What?! They got us good!

They used this to mimic a heat source?

Sorry, Rurou!

They've outsmarted us.

Everyone, run for cover!

Yamaneko, the sniper is close!

Move in and take her down!

We're fine here! Go!

Yamaneko? Yamaneko!

What's the hang up?

Why did you come back?!

I know you care about the people,

but don't forget our mission is to destroy Excaliburs!

Rurou!

That woman...

How is it that you become like this and still cause me trouble?

You're such a pain...

I'm sorry.

My sister Loretta... My...

My family did something terrible...

Family...

Wait.

Your rash actions landed us in this mess.

Do you intend to repeat that?

My lineage brings people bad luck.

That's why I'm going alone.

Ta-da!

Coopy?

Coopy here is a super lucky girl, so...

...I'm not worried one bit about getting bad luck!

V! V! V! Victory!

I'm rushing in.

Roger that!

At 3 o'clock!

Tsk!

Hmph! What are you shooting at?

You're mine!

You aimed for that from the start!

I'll never forgive any of them!

Those people who mocked my dad and the contest!

How naive. You missed on purpose?

But I landed a direct hit.

I've won.

How?

That's... a takuan bulletproof vest?!

It was Bethor who figured it out!

I'm still not done talking, by the way.

A parting gift...

Because it'll be a pain if you're a takuan too.

That's right.

My sister's bullets change people into takuan, but...

You can't change takuan into takuan!

Your little brother Roy already proved that it works!

Tsk! Roy should mind his own business!

Tee-hee-hee...

I don't care about your situation.

But I will protect the sacred land.

Sis! Let's stop all of this!

Roy...

Sis!

Rurou...

Thank you. Daddy!

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

Were you looking after him, Bethor?

Rurou...

You know, you have a surprisingly cute side to you.

Tsk!

Woohoo! I'm back to normal!

Thank goodness!

Mom! Dad!

Now we can start preparing for the festival!

Here, Daddy!

Mmm!

Roy...

Sis...

I'll accept any punishment.

In last year's contest, it turns out the takuan was switched after all.

That woman was the culprit.

But she got exposed and skipped town sometime during the night.

Huh? Then, what about dad?

He's doing fine. He's meeting up with Utahime as we speak.

Well then, let's celebrate this festival as planned, all right?

Sure.

I'm very... sorry.

I'm sure that city will be just fine.

Agreed.

We saved Yamaneko's sacred land!
