Huh?

Black doorknobs?

Yeah it's a real problem.

Look.

Oh yikes.

For some reason no matter how many doorknobs I make lately

they all come out like this.

That's so weird.

And worse yet inside of whatever door I attach them to...

it's just pure darkness. Everywhere.

Do you know if anything has changed around here recently?

Well actually Lum and Ataru have been missing for the past few days.

Wh-What's that sound?!

How ominous.

Bye my day bye bye day

Drowning in the light

Bye my day bye bye day

But I will still pray my darling

(Darling darling dadadarling darling)

(Darling dadadadada)

I realized those days of repeatedly wanting your love were my happiness

Amidst the uncertain future being by your side seemed the most vibrant

What should I do?

Although there's nothing I can do

What's going to happen?

On any night

The end is bound to come eventually

I've known that since the beginning

Ah bye my day bye bye day

Drowning in the light

Bye my day bye bye day

All I did was pray quietly

Bye my day bye bye day

Driven out of the world

Bye my day bye bye day

All my feelings still lie with you

Hey darling squeeze my hand back

Darling you blubbering mess of tears

I want you to love me until the end

For as far as this universe goes

Darling darling beckon me back with my name

Darling no matter how far apart we were

It didn't matter because the light you produced

Was always impossibly beautiful

Oh! Check it out!

That must be it! The wedding hall!

Seems like the party's already started!

Look over there!

There's no escape for you now Rupa!

Why don't you just give up and tie the knot with me?!

There's no bloody way I'm marrying you!

What's so bad about being with me?!

I hate everything about you!

I can't imagine a worse fate than being married to you so—

So what you'd rather pop your clogs?!

I never said that!

What do you think you're doing to my darling?!

Your "darling"?!

You don't get to call him that!

Blimey!

Rupa!

Great Grandfather!

Grab hold of this!

Bugger off!

We need to leg it out of here Lum!

Let go of me!

Wait you coward!

Darling! Why're you just standing there like a statue?!

Darling!

This is goodbye.

I'm getting married to Rupa.

Married...

Married...

Whatever. You already had your say.

Darling! Darling!

What are you doing darling?!

Hurry and save me!

Huh?

Darling?

Why...?

Hey!

Get your arse down here!

Stop! That's enough!

Mind your own business!

What're you—

Forget them! They're nothing but a pair of backstabbers!

That's not true...

You can go pound sand!

Because I'm gonna get married to this cutie right here!

Huh?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

You're the one who stabbed me in the back first!

Karula! You two-timer!

You rake me over the coals all the time but you're no better!

Huh?! So that's how this is gonna go?!

Come say that to my face!

Like hell I will!

Take this!

Oh no! They're going to fall!

No friggin' duh dumbass!

That's not good.

Hold onto these everyone.

Karula!

Rupa...

D-Don't get the wrong idea.

My hand only grabbed yours by sheer coincidence.

Again with that rubbish?!

Whew. That was a close one.

Moroboshi!

Quick! Help Miss Lum!

Huh?

Uh-oh! Lum can't fly right now!

Dammit!

Aw hell!

Hurry and get your butts off my bike!

Lum!

Lum!

Lum!

What the flying hell?!

You didn't even care how much distress I was in!

Because were too damn busy getting cozy with that other girl!

I don't think I can trust you anymore darling!

Oh yeah?! Like you're any better!

Blowing all that hot air about marrying her when you're not even serious about it!

You're the WORST!

Okay. Fine then.

Look here Lum!

It's a marriage registration form!

Do you still think I'm not serious?!

Oh my god...

Darling?

That's it I'm breaking up with you for good!

You can get lost for all I care!

Huh? Wait is that electricity?

No way...

Lum!

Her horns grew back!

Thank heavens.

Aren't you lucky Karula?

Looks like your fiancé managed to survive that fall.

Huh? Are you serious right now?!

Yeah! There aren't many guys in the world willing to put up with

a big pain in the arse like you!

Rupa... you're unbelievable...

I really am going to marry him ya know!

Great! Congratu-bloody-lations!

Then go be together dammit!

Huh?

Wh-What the...?

Because I'm staying here! You good with that?!

Huh?

Go for it! Dumbass!

Say something already!

Rupa you daft clod!

S-Sure that's great.

Oh dear.

You're more than welcome to stay.

Screw you!

Hey Lum?

Are you really sure about this?

Yeah I'm not going back.

I'm getting married to Rupa.

But that idiot Moroboshi got tricked by this fake version of you.

I'm getting married to Rupa.

I'm getting married to Rupa.

He got the wrong idea.

That's all.

I know. It's why I'm mad at him.

Because it just proves that he doesn't trust me even the tiniest bit.

So I'm never going back.

Not until he apologizes to me.

Tell her you're sorry Moroboshi!

Nuh-uh!

I'm trying to help you make things right while you have the chance!

I don't want your help!

Well this is hopeless.

He's just not going to listen to anything that we say.

Hey Moroboshi.

The only person who can convince Lum to come back is you okay?

Whatever.

She hurt me first.

And the only thing that can relieve this pain...

is your loving affection.

Now is not the time for this you jackass!

Be careful or you'll break your sword.

Guess that's that. Let's go home.

Rupa...

When all's said and done you won't even try to stop me huh?

So they all left huh?

Rupa...

Are you crying Lum?

Some water just got splashed on my face.

Lum...

Lum appeared in the crystal ball?

But what does it mean?

I don't really know.

Just that it implies Lum will be dragged into the darkness.

What now?

Is that Earth?!

The Earth will be consumed by darkness.

So what happened with Lum was merely the start of something bigger?

We're here.

I'm never gonna apologize!

So just leave Lum behind and let's go home!

We're already on Earth.

Huh?

We left and came back just like you wanted us to.

Good news for you huh darling?

Ugh that damned Ataru!

Not only does he suddenly leave the house for days on end

but then he shows up right at dinnertime

Listen Moroboshi. All you gotta do to fix this is apologize to Lum.

with a bunch of his friends in tow!

For crying out loud! I don't have nearly enough food!

Oh? I see you're having hot pot tonight.

But hardly any meat as usual.

Good evening ma'am.

Hello.

Oh jeez! Not more of you!

Relax we didn't come to eat your food.

We're here because the fate of the Earth is at stake.

Fine but I'm more concerned about the fate of my fridge right now!

Um...

Here. Please use these as part of your meal.

They're mushrooms from my universe.

Oh is that so?

What?! You left Lum behind?!

You've doomed us all!

Hmph! Feels like a weight off my shoulders!

He's still being a total pighead about this.

Go back and get her right now!

No way!

If Lum wants to come back then she's gonna have to beg for forgiveness first!

Oh come off it!

You can't expect the lady to be the one to apologize!

Yeah she's right about that. For sure.

But somebody has to go and bring Miss Lum back...

Will that really save the Earth?

Dunno.

We need a better answer than that!

The scale of the problem is just too big.

Karula and I grew up together.

We always hung out as kids.

She wasn't so overbearing when we first met.

But one day...

Look I'm gonna marry this girl someday!

Hey!

But you already have me!

Why are you so opposed to us being together?!

I love you!

I couldn't bloody escape from her.

She hunted me down everywhere I went.

You're so much better than that walking disaster of a woman.

I'm just as much of a loose cannon as she is.

How can you have any feelings towards me?

I'm an arranged bride who you've never met.

Well...

Hey yer not gonna try and say you'd be happy with any woman are ya?

Wha?! Don't be ridiculous!

You're just like my darling.

Well it's too late for regrets...

Maybe I'm crazy

but it seems like we've been eating for a long time.

The food just keeps coming.

What the? Does this mushroom seem bigger somehow?

That's just silly!

Here have one Rei.

No she has a point...

We have to keep eating or they'll overflow from the pot.

I forgot to mention it earlier but these mushrooms...

grow gigantic if they get exposed to light or heat.

Why didn't you say that earlier?! Dumbass!

Hold on if light and heat make these things grow larger...

What's gonna happen when the sun rises?

Whoa! Look at that!

Those things are huge!

What a disaster!

Guess we'll have to close the school for a while.

Yikes. There's even more now.

There are spores flying everywhere.

It's impossible to get them under control at this point.

Call home for help immediately!

Nuh-uh! I don't want to!

If what you've told us is true

then there is only one thing in the world that can take care of these mushrooms!

And that's Rupa and his pigs in the Dark Dominion!

No way!

I never want to see him again!

Because the truth is that I hate you from the bottom of my heart!

There's no bloody way I could go

and ask him for a favor after he trampled all over my feelings like that...

Well make yourself comfortable.

My home is yours now so feel free to settle in.

Let's see. Pretty sure I had tea and crackers.

They're around here somewhere...

Huh? That's strange.

Oh! Here we go!

I can't help but notice you've got Karula's face all over your room.

I don't have much choice.

She just keeps sending me all of this stuff unprompted!

Well ya seem pretty attached to it all.

Gosh that's so nice.

My darling would never treat gifts from me like this.

Good thing that you've got me now innit?

And I feel like a new man now that I'm free from Karula!

Master Rupa! You've just gotten a call from Lady Karula.

Huh?

Would you like me to hang up?

Blimey! Well no! I guess just...

Just what sir?

Don't hold back on my account.

What'd you say?

The Earth is covered in mushrooms?!

Yeah. They totally grew out of control...

You daft cow! What the bloody hell were you thinking?!

Let me clear about one thing Rupa.

I honestly never wanted to see your face again.

But since I've caused everybody here so much trouble

I had no choice but to reach out to you...

That's rich.

After all the time you spent hounding me to hell and back!

Whatever! I don't give a monkey's about you anymore!

I'm having the time of my life with him here!

W-Well I've got news for you.

Lum and I are having a splendid time over here too!

They're losing track of the reason for the call...

S-So it's been a while.

Are you having fun over there?

Yeah. Seems like you're living it up yourself.

Bleh!

Bleh!

Enough of this foolishness!

Listen to me Lum! There's no time to waste!

The mushrooms are overrunning the Earth!

Could you please help us convince Rupa to come and clear them all away?

Maybe if my darling...

Huh?

If my darling says that he loves me then I'll agree to ask Rupa to help!

Huh?

You heard her.

All it takes a few words from you to change the fate of the Earth.

Say it. It doesn't matter if you lie.

This is an emergency so I'll allow it.

Piece of cake right?

Just say the magic words.

Come on!

Do it already!

Hurry up.

Well guess what?

I HATE YOUR GUTS!

Karula that knob head!

Darling...

In all the time I've known him

my darling has never once told me that he loves me.

I'm starting to think that maybe... he's serious.

That he really does hate my guts.

Dummy.

I shouldn't have to say it for you to know.

Th-This is out of this world folks!

Please take a look!

The outbreak of mushrooms that started in Tomobiki Town

has grown so drastically

that it's now causing chaos in locations all across the place!

Let's ask some of the locals how they feel!

Gosh what a mess.

It's hard to walk with these things in the way!

And no sun gets through...

I can't even get my laundry dry.

Whoa! Behind you!

A car was just flipped over!

The giant mushrooms have basically wiped out the town at this point!

Earth is facing certain doom now!

What is going to happen to the human race?!

I've run the numbers.

What's the result?

It's going to take 10 days for these mushrooms to cover the entire planet.

We are so doomed...

What is that?!

A flock of birds?

They're locusts!

No hold on!

Those are pigs!

Oinky-doinky oinky-doinky oinky-doinky oinky-doinky...

The pigs are...

...eating the mushrooms!

What now?!

Lum?

I have message for Ataru Moroboshi!

Sounds familiar...

Yeah that's the boy who lives on block four.

As you can see my pigs are the only thing capable of getting rid of the mushrooms!

If you want them to save the Earth...

then you'll have to compete with me darling!

We're going to play tag.

And if you can grab hold of my horns within 10 days

then you'll be the winner.

Why tag of all things?

That's just the Oni way of handling things when the chips are down.

I'm going to flee from you with everything I have.

Which means the only real chance you have at catching me...

IS TO SAY YOU LOVE ME!

NOT ON YOUR LIFE DUMBASS!

A warm breeze blows as I catch my breath

It caresses the back of my neck and disappears

Flower petals on the damp window

An umbrella wet with rain

You pluck at a strand of fluttering hair

And quickly vanish into the classroom

A clock with frozen hands

The sky after school ends

I want to see your love I don't want words

Your eyes plead with me

But I can never give you the reply

The flowers and cherry blossoms scatter in spring again

You stand inside a twinkling fissure

With a little grin on your face that's beautiful

But somehow scary

Pushed along by the wind I dance with you

Shall we walk to the moon and look at the town?

And then surely

And then surely

I'll come to forget

Even if I live forever that was my last love

You're still like a fake spring beyond the window even now

Stupid Lum!

Are you really okay with just forgetting me forever?!
