The cedar tree finally died and was cut down

-Hey, Bon! -Hmm?

This is where you've been slacking off

Actually, I was contemplating the history of this magnificent cedar tree

This stump is at least four meters wide

It must be close to 800 years old

Wow. Eight hundred years old

My grandfather was born 80 years ago,

so that means this tree was ten times his age

Which means that this unfortunate cedar was born in the mid-13th century

That's a mind-boggling long time ago

Back then, the Mongol Empire was extending its power globally,

both to the west and east

While in Japan, the Great Buddha of Kamakura was built,

and Saint Nichiren established the Hokke sect

-This isn't a history class! -Ugh. Yeah, you're hurting my brain

Attention, everyone!

The groups who have finished their observations may return to school

-Okay! -We probably should head back too

So then, as I was saying, for hundreds of years,

the cedar on this hill witnessed people's joys and sorrows,

hopes and struggles,

and all the changes that the world went through

It had quite a life

That's a pretty cool tree

Yeah. Impressive, right?

Wow. Eight hundred years, huh?

I WON'T BE ERASED!

Bon, you're gonna be late for school!

Bon!

How did it get this late?

Why didn't you wake me up sooner?

I tried to many times

Pipe down. Complaining won't help

Just drink your milk. There's no time to eat

Okay. Yeah

And make sure to study after school

Got it. See ya later

Have a nice day!

NAMIHIRA

-Bon Namihira? -Here

-Furuta? -Here

-Hmm. Well, I totally bombed this one. -Hotta?

-Here! -What's the average score?

I heard 50 points

Yep. That's what I got

Oh! Jealous

2ND YEAR SCIENCE TEST

You want at least an average score

I'm Bon Namihira.

Just as my name implies, I've always been average at everything.

I'm not the most popular, but I'm not the least popular.

I'm not in any clubs.

I don't take any extra lessons. I don't have any special interests.

But the truth is, I actually like being average at everything.

Bon, why don't you come over and hang out?

Okay. But I have to go study first

Our final exams are coming up, you know

-Hey, Yoko! -Huh?

Hey, Yumi!

-Going to practice? -Uh-huh

Yumi, let's go!

Uh. Well, I'll see you later

-Yumiko's amazing. -Who's that?

That's Yumi from Class 2. She's my friend

-She's every boy's dream. -I guess

'Kay, see you later

See you, Bon!

I'm back!

Welcome home

Huh?

"There's some Prince melon for you in the fridge."

"Please study until five o'clock."

Come on. Give me some space, Mom

I hate it when you decide to extend my study time

Can't we at least talk about it first?

Om

Hmm. Mm

Until five o'clock, huh?

Om

All righty!

Hmm

Ah-om. Mm

Can't you go any faster?

Huh?

What the hell? What's going on?

Huh? Aah!

Aah!

Uh…

Huh?

After all that, nothing's changed?

I'm gonna go play now!

Okay, have fun!

So, obviously, I had a nervous breakdown from studying too hard

I guess too much reading can make you go crazy

Huh?

Guh!

Huh?

Aah!

-Ow. -Hmm?

Can I ask you a question?

-Have you seen… Uh. -Uh… Huh?

Just forget it

You wouldn't know what I'm talking about

Oh, man. I've got myself in a real pickle

Uh-- Uh…

You're weird, you know that?

All right. What is going on today?

Day turns into night, night turns into day

-Hello. -Girl falls from the sky

It definitely has to do with all that studying

-Uh, excuse me. -What?

Well, that was a bad idea. I'm outta here

This is more serious than I thought

All this studying,

it's obviously really, really bad for you

This is from my dad's record collection. It's pretty cool, don't you think?

Sure

The sound quality of analog records is the best there is

And we have a vacuum tube amplifier,

so it sounds like the orchestra is right here in the room

Pretty rad, huh?

Uh-huh

Okay. What's up with you, Bon?

Oh, sorry

Today's just been a really strange day

Well, what happened?

Mm…

Well, I know it's gonna sound pretty dumb,

and I know there's no way this really happened, but…

did the day turn into night… earlier?

Huh?

And have you seen any girls…

-…falling from the sky? -Um

Are you feeling okay?

I'm kidding. Just kidding

Oh, one last thing

Have you run into a flying yellow jellyfish recently?

-Huh?! -Mm…

Never mind. Forget I said anythi--

Hmm…

Okay, stop touching me

It sure is hot today

You're here early

Did you finish studying already, Bon?

Yeah. All done

Well, you're real smart,

so you don't have to put much time into studying

Mama, flattery that's too detached from reality just sounds like sarcasm

What is that supposed to mean?

Tetsuo, you should probably focus on your studying for finals

You've got to study if you want to get anywhere in life, you know

Maybe I came at a bad time

I-- I should go now

No, no. Don't worry, Bon. Don't go yet

My mom won't make me study as long as you're here,

so please stop talking about going home

Plus, I haven't shown today's test results to my parents yet

You got a zero?

Yeah, and when they see this, I'll get in trouble for sure

To the trash you go!

-Uh… -Uh, Tetsuo, I--

Oh! My test! Gotta get it!

Tetsuo!

I… I…

Aah!

Oh no. I was too late after all

I guess I'm gonna have to do another rewind

What? Again?

Ream, you've been warned not to overuse it

Yeah, I know. But what other choice do I have?

Unbelievable

I can't believe I just killed Tetsuo!

I did it! I just killed him!

Aah!

Oh my. What is going on, Bon?

Tetsuo…

…I killed him!

Aah!

Huh?

Om-mm

Aah! It's a ghost!

The body… The body…

The body is gone!

Is-- Is that really you?

What are you talking about?

What's going on with you today?

Uh…

Well, I thought you…

Tetsuo fell off the balcony? What a crazy thing to say.

We've been right here in my room this entire time.

- Uh. Really? - Yeah. Are you sure you're okay?

He must be having a nervous breakdown.

Maybe you shouldn't study too much, Tetsuo.

I'm beginning to wonder,

is it possible I am starting to lose my mind?

Huh?

Huh

What is this?

It looks like some kind of vehicle

Is it a rocket?

No, it can't be

But whatever it is, it sure looks cool

Whoa. What's going on?

What's that weird noise?

Aah!

Whoa. That was scary

Huh?

Shouldn't the tree stump be right here?

Uh

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Where's the town?

It's not there!

A nervous breakdown doesn't even begin to describe

the crazy things happening to me today

This is totally, incredibly out of the ordinary

Okay, something's not right

Calm down. I know you can figure this out, Bon

Relax your brain

and a rational explanation will just pop into your head

It's not working!

Hold on

If this was caused by that machine,

then that machine should be able to undo what it did, right?

Huh?

Hey. Where'd it go?

Okay, then

I'm not scared

I'm perfectly in control of what's happening

Aah! No!

Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah-ha!

Wah!

No, no, no, no, no, no--

Huh?

I've had enough. Bring it on. I'm ready for anything

Huh?

No! Please! Don't--

Nice doin' business. Pleasure's all mine

Hmm?

Would you look at that? Another strangely dressed kid

Time Lock on!

Guh…

Uh… Huh?

Guh! Wait! Who are you?

Just come with me

What a pain

Do you have any idea how hard it was to track you down?

-Huh? -Give us back our Time Boat

Time Boat?

The thing you rode here on!

I had to get one of our spare boats from headquarters

to come here and chase you down

Yeah. And you can thank me, 'cause I'm the one who found you

-Hop on! -Wait, what?

Wah-ah!

Okay, we should be safe up here

Wow

-Thanks for saving me. -Save your thanks

A decision on how to deal with you hasn't been made yet

Deal with me? Am I in trouble or something?

Forget about it. We gotta let things calm down. We'll talk about it later

Will you at least tell me where we are?

The time is the Kamakura period

More precisely, it's the summer of the third year of the Koan era

This is your neighborhood

It was called Musashi Province at the time

Kamakura period?

I can't believe it

These troops are on their way to Hakata

to prepare for the arrival of the Mongol fleet

If only they had backed off,

but they just had to behead the Mongol envoys

Anyway, the shogunate is very busy with strengthening defenses in Kyushu

But the actual battle won't begin until next summer

Wow. A samurai drama in real time

It sure is. But more importantly, we have to get that boat you rode off on

Wah!

Do you see the spot where you landed?

I think it was somewhere around here

Be more specific!

We have to get within 100 meters to be able to locate it

If we were back in the 21st century, I would be able to tell

It was right next to this big, old tree stump

Oh, I know where that is

Wait! Wah-ah-ah!

Whoa

This sapling is that cedar tree?

Yeah. That's how trees work

Then that means…

I got to see this same tree growing near my house 800 years later

Come on out now

Whoa-ho-ho!

That thing knows how to hide in the ground?

It has an automatic hide-and-seek function

It's to ensure that its secret doesn't get out

It must have momentarily malfunctioned,

which is why you were able to find it

Aw

Topachack's cap wrench is all black, and it looks like it's loose

That explains why the reverse time flow was leaking

Inspect and maintain

-Important words. -Oh, shush

It affected you too, right?

-Your night and day got mixed up. -Oh!

It was near your house that it malfunctioned

It makes total sense that I lost control and got thrown off the boat earlier

Then, of course, the planned arrival time and destination got messed up too

So then she was forced to do a rewind

And she really shouldn't rely on that too much

I don't understand a thing you two are talking about

Wait. Who the hell are you guys, anyway?

Oh, right. Where are my manners?

Apologies

I'm Ream Stream of Time Patrol

I'm Buyoyon

What? Did you say Time Patrol?

Does that mean you two are time-travelers traveling through time?

Something like that

Time Television Surveillance Network, created with the purpose of saving lives

We travel through time and across the globe

to save people from unfortunate deaths

Wow. That is so cool

There's one exception

We can't help historically relevant people

Let's say, we go back to the Roman period

and save Julius Caesar from being assassinated

Doing this would significantly change the course of history

-Indeed. -Uh!

That's why agents aren't dispatched

until after a thorough investigation has been made

-All right. -Uh

It's fixed

You can ride back on the spare one, okay?

Don't worry. It's set on autopilot

This is just crazy

Honestly, even in my wildest dreams,

I never thought an organization like Time Patrol existed

I'm not surprised

They're very strict about keeping the existence of Time Patrol a secret

We activate this Forgetter device

as soon as we reach the destination timeline

It affects the memory center in the brains of people in the vicinity,

selectively blocking their memories

In other words,

there isn't a single person who's seen, heard, or remembered any of my actions

-But I remember you. -Yeah, we know! And that's a problem!

When I finally managed to locate our last target,

Tetsuo Shiraishi, he was already dead

All sorts of things were going wrong

Uh…

Plus, it was a sudden accident

So I had no time to activate the Forgetter

So what did they say?

The Time Navigation Law must be observed

-Then that means… -Yes

Headquarters have decided to erase Bon Namihira

Hmm? You're gonna erase me?

What does that mean?

Let's see

Another way to put it would be…

What he means is,

they're gonna disappear you like you were never even here

Guh! "Disappear"?

They want you to kill me?

Oh, please, Bon. We don't ever kill people

Oh, man. You really had me scared

Time travel must be kept secret and protected at all costs

Bad people could easily take over the entire world

if they had access to its powers

Well, yeah. Nobody would want that to happen

Unfortunately, you finding out about this secret has put us in a real bind

And to fix it, we just need to make it as if you never existed

If we go back in time and prevent your parents from marrying,

you'll never be born

And if you were never born, then you'd never know about Time Patrol

Understand?

Guh! But you just said you never kill people!

And now that's exactly what you're going to do to me!

There's a difference

This way, it's like you never existed in the first place

What are you talking about? I'm here with you right now, aren't I?

Do I have to draw you a diagram?

If we alter the present by going back in time--

-Don't waste your breath. -Uh

There's no point in trying to convince him

Ream, can I count on you to do it?

Yes. I'll take full responsibility

This cylinder contains all the data on the Namihiras

I'm on it

No!

-Stop it! -What are you doing?

-Let go of me! -I won't be erased!

Aah!

Huh?

What is this place?

I'll help you if you promise not to erase me

I don't need your help!

Isn't that thing

a Futabasaurus?

Are you all right, Ream?

-I'm sorry. -I'm glad I made it in time

Headquarters wants us to hurry up and execu--

I won't let you!

Whoa! Knock it off!

Calm down! Get a hold of yourself!

No way! Aah!

I won't…

be erased!

Uh

A dream?

And to fix it, we just need to make it as if you never existed.

Understand?

Aah!

Oop! Doh!

It wasn't a dream.

I'm going to disappear.

Dad! Mom!

I'm going to be erased!

Mom, you're here!

Well, good to see you too. What's got you so flustered?

I was worried

Huh? What about?

Oh, look at you. Your hair got all wet

Was it raining outside?

Huh? Uh…

What have you been up to? Now go get changed or you'll catch a cold

It's fine that you went out to play,

but did you study until 5:00 like I asked you to?

-Yeah. -Really? I'm impressed

Well, how about steak for dinner tonight?

Yeah, sounds good

Hmm?

Mom?

Where'd you go?

Calm down. You don't need to shout

-Huh? -You're acting even kookier than usual

-Uh. -Huh?

Seriously, are you okay, Bon?

Maybe we should try a little less playing outside

and a little more studying for the next--

Mo… Mom?

Sorry to intrude like this

Bon Namihira,

after taking a closer look into your future,

we found that you're relevant to history

Yeah, unfortunately

The course of history would change if we erased you

What?

So that means, to have the existence of Time Patrol remain a secret…

We've been left with no other choice

but to have you join us as our newest agent

-Woo-hoo. - Wait. What?

I'm… relevant to history?

I'll be joining…

…Time Patrol?!
