Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 13

Title card pops up immediately, and the last chapter is called Welcome Home Procy.

 

Narration then picks up saying the sun has fully set, and the city lights are on. You guys have now finally returned to Orient City's central district where Procy's store is. Barrel sighs about the car going bust now, but says the fact that it still held together until you guys got past the wall is the silver lining in the cloud. Akashi talks about how you guys had to walk an hour to get to the nearest station from where the engine stalled, then rode a train for half an hour, so now he is bushed. You either comment that you want to rest already or try to look on the bright side and say you guys are back now. A has Mokdai agree and suggest taking a vacation tomorrow. B has Mokdai say that's true, but he's surprised at how tough you are.

 

Procy complains about being forced to walk with the party after the engine failure since his bike was still working. Gomeisa tells him he isn't allowed to return ahead of everyone since he promised to Huckle and the others that you'd all be back together. Procy gets pissy as he tells him to think about how he feels about having to go back for the bike since he was forced to leave it behind, but Gomeisa says it'll be okay since he'll come with and carry him if Procy says he's tired. Procy quickly rejects this and says he'll go alone. Mokdai smiles at this, then notices that there are people by Procy's store.

 

In the back alley that leads to Procy's bar, five people are hanging around by the entrance. Kirsch notices you guys and calls over to you guys as she welcomes you back. Gomeisa is surprised to see her and everyone else, and Narihito mentions it's been about five hours since your battle live ended, so the timing of meeting you all is perfect. Polaris Mask jokingly complains that he wished you guys took him along too if you were going to have such a heated battle. He could feel it through the screen. Mokdai notes their presence, and Huckle welcomes you all back next, glad you made it safely. You greet him and say you guys have returned.

 

Huckle talks about having seen your battle live, and while you did have Procy helping towards the end, you did well in handling that giant Kaibutsu. He does have a bunch of things he wants to say, but for now he leaves things with 'good work.' Procy is surprised at all these people here and mentions there being people he's never seen before, then asks what's all this about. A voice tells him that everyone was worried about him, and this turns out to be Gammei speaking. He sighs about how Procy left such a profound note behind and asks him not to take up so much of his time.

 

Procy sighs in turn and says he wasn't planning on making a big deal out of it. Polaris Mask says that, intentions aside, Procy has something he ought to say to everyone. Procy says he knows in embarrassment, then apologizes for making everyone worry. You express some surprise at him being so obedient and properly apologizing, so Procy calls you rude as he says even he apologizes when he does something wrong. Gammei laughs and says it's fine as long as he knows.

 

Barrel is surprised for a moment, then calls out to Gammei as he jogs towards him. Once he gets close enough he segues right into doing a dogeza bow as he apologizes, baffling Gammei. You are amazed at how smoothly he did that and say Gammei looks confused. Barrel talks about how Gammei was the superior officer in this case, yet Barrel ignored his orders to do his own thing. Even if Gammei threw him some help, what Barrel did as an officer was a serious thing. He apologizes for making him look bad.

 

Gammei sighs, wondering if Barrel being straightforward makes him an idiot or if it happens the other way around. Since Barrel understands what he did though, Gammei cuts down on what he needs to say and tells him that he's told the upper brass about what Barrel did and has the paperwork for writing him up. Barrel recoils at it but agrees it's appropriate. Akashi attempts to speak up in Barrel's defense, saying that while he did ignore orders, he did settle the case.

 

Barrel tells Akashi that he is a police officer and a member of an organization before he's a hero. There are rules he has to follow, so it's only natural that he be punished if he breaks them. Akashi deflates a little at the unfairness of it, and you either say it's frustrating, say that's how it is in the adult world, or stay quiet. Gomeisa asks what's going to happen to Barrel, but Barrel says he's ready to hear what's in store and asks Gammei to tell him his punishment.

 

Gammei says he has guts if he's ready, then opens up the paper and reads out aloud 'one month.' Barrel is confused by this, so Gammei reads the rest of the details. Barrel will be receiving a pay cut for one month as punishment for taking a car for non-job related purposes. Barrel is surprised he's not being punished worse for insubordination and acting outside of his jurisdiction, but Gammei asks why he's so hesitant about this when he was so forceful about serving justice earlier. He then tells him to act prouder as Gammei will talk things over with the higher ups. His salary has been affected by this case too apparently, he says with a wry smile.

 

Mokdai is a bit surprised at Gammei while Barrel leaps at him, thanking him and saying he's really someone to respect. Gammei is taken by surprise as he tells Barrel to let go since he's making him too warm and his tail wagging is annoying. Barrel then remembers that he needs to tell Gammei about the patrol car breaking down. Gammei is a bit shocked, then tells him it sucks to be him since he'll have to pay for it out of his own salary and Gammei can't do anything about that. Barrel groans about this, so you either say his entire pay got cut, wonder how much he's on the hook for, or try to cheer him up.

 

Akashi asks how much money policemen make. Mokdai says he doesn't know, but whenever he sees Gammei, he's always ordering the cheapest things on the menu. Gammei gets pissy since he can hear them and tells them to stop broadcasting how poor he is, so Mokdai quickly apologizes. Barrel moans that he'll be stuck living on instant food for a while. This was a result of him upholding justice, but it still sucks it blew up like that. Polaris Mask suggests he try fighting it out in the underground ring part time since battle winnings pay fairly well. Barrel is quick to decline the idea, saying he knows he isn't suited for pro wrestling. You try to encourage him to hang in there, offer to treat him to a meal, or offer to lend him some money. In A, Barrel thanks you and says he'll be okay. In B, Barrel asks if you mean it and says you're kind, and that he might crush on you. In C, Barrel says no since he shouldn't bother other people as a result of his chosen actions.

 

Anyways, Barrel thanks you guys for all your help with the investigation. He can't do much to repay you guys, but he invites you guys to come see him at the police box if you're ever in trouble. He's confident in his skills and is sure it'll clear whatever issues you have up. Also, it's okay to just come see him if you don't have any problems you need help with. Gammei is baffled by what Barrel is saying, and he asks why he's blushing. Barrel then tries to laugh it all off as a joke. Polaris Mask however sees what's up but smiles to himself.

 

Some time later I guess, Kirsch starts talking to Gomeisa about having seen his battle live and about that move he used. She describes it as beautiful and kind, a very Gomeisa sort of move. She's known him for a while, but she never knew he could fight like that. Gomeisa thanks her but admits it was surprising to himself as well. It was probably the first time he's used a move like that on a huge Kaibutsu that worked. Narihito is shocked to hear that since Gomeisa doesn't have much of a battle record to his name, and Kirsch gets fired up about thinking up a new move once she goes home.

 

Procy talks about having heard of Gomeisa's finisher before, but that was the first time he saw it. On further thought he probably has seen it before, but it wasn't as big a spectacle as then. Huckle suggests that he may have changed because of wanting to live with him again. While he has his worries about Gomeisa, Huckle does feel like he's grown over the course of the case as a hero and as a person. Procy sighs, asking him to stop since it's not like he became this hugely influential person who controls Gomeisa's life. Huckle laughs, saying that even if he doesn't feel like it he's probably already become that way.

 

Gomeisa asks Huckle if he's changed since the first day he transformed him. Huckle says he thinks so, at least personally on how he fights. He's changed in a way he'd never have imagined considering he started off so frightened of things. In that final battle, Huckle says he didn't sense any doubts in Gomeisa's movements, so he believes Gomeisa's solidified his reason for being a hero. Very heroic of him. Gomeisa thanks Huckle, and you ask him if he had something to do with Gomeisa becoming a hero. Huckle realizes he's never told you about that, then says he was the Operator when Gomeisa first became a hero. In the midst of a battle between heroes and Kaibutsu, he wished for a peaceful world without conflict, which is what made him out to be a hero. Of course, he wasn't actually able to attack at the time.

 

Gomeisa brings up that he's terrible at fighting, as had been mentioned multiple times. He had always been afraid, thinking that it would have been better if everyone could come to an understanding instead of clashing against one another. But in talking with everyone and battling together, he's found the determination to stand and fight. It wasn't about running away, but about facing the battle, thinking, and trying to create peace. Coming up with a solution may be hard, but he'll keep thinking about it. After all, he wants to live happily with everyone. You either comment that it's a dream that might never be fulfilled, or wish him luck and say you'll cheer him on. In A Gomeisa says he knows, but he says he won't run away as he laughs. In B and C, Gomeisa thanks you and says he won't run.

 

Either way Gomeisa says he's been helped a lot by you and thanks you for everything, saying that it was assuring having you help find Procy. He offers to help if there's ever anything he can do as a hero, promising to do his best. Procy then says he's opened the door and prompts you guys to go in. If you're going to stand around and talk you may as well do it inside where he can give you a drink. Narihito says that's convenient since now you guys can use the place. Procy asks what he means, so Kirsch starts to laugh while Polaris Mask reveals that they've gotten a party together for him. They smile as they lift up some bags, which includes cake, buckets of fried chicken, plates of hors d'oeuvres and other stuff. Procy reacts in shock while you cheer and support the idea since you're hungry.

 

Mokdai also cheers, asking if it's okay for you guys to join too. Kirsch answers yes since the party is also being done in appreciation of you guys. Akashi cheers since he thought he'd just have to deal with being hungry, so he suggests getting inside and getting started. Procy attempts to protest against having a party in his pub even if it is a food business, and he's embarrassed about having a party for his sake. Nobody listens as they walk inside and carry all the things, leaving him to sigh to himself. Huckle stays and tries to say it should be okay. He can just call it a reservation tonight, plus he needs time to get things back up and running like normal. Procy asks Huckle if he was the one to put the idea in everyone's head, but Huckle deflects and suggests it's not like it's any worse with Ryekie not being here since he likes parties. Procy grumbles he'll get him for this one day.

 

Inside the pub, Mokdai asks someone to pull some tables together so that he can put the hors d'oeuvres down. Akashi sees some tables nearby to do that with, so he goes to move them. Barrel is excited to see some 10x spicy chicken around and says he loves them, but Gammei tells him he'd better wait until everyone has a seat because he's hungry too. Gomeisa gets amazed at the cake, and Kirsch laughs as she said she promised she'd bring a really nice one for when Procy got back. Polaris Mask asks if the cups he's got are fine, and if anyone wants beer there's beer mugs around. Narihito opts to get some beer then. It's his first time there and he's impressed by the booze variety. Huckle suggests he write about the place since it'll be good publicity. Narihito says he'd like to write about this case too and already is thinking of titles.

 

While everyone else is getting the party ready, Procy is watching quietly from the countertop. You talk to him and comment that he looks dissatisfied and ask if he hates parties. Procy is caught off guard by your presence, but he denies hating parties because he'd have otherwise never set up this business. He's just embarrassed at having a party being held for him. You either call him shy or call him cute. A embarrasses him and prompts him to tell you to drop it. B also embarrasses him as he says someone younger than him doesn't get to call him cute.

 

Anyways, Procy asks about you not being with the others and if you had something you wanted to talk with him about. You admit there is something on your mind, so he asks what it is. You ask him why he took Gomeisa in. Procy basically sighs again as he says he's not that much of a jerk to ignore someone lost on the side of the road. He just took Gomeisa in because he had nowhere else to go, and he prompts you to get going. You however stay and make a face at him, causing him to be a little defensive before he decides to talk more about it. Resigned, he puts down the cup he was wiping down and sits in a seat. It's nothing big, it's that Gomeisa reminded him of his old self so he couldn't leave him be. You ask more about that or think aloud about whether they do resemble each other. B has Procy getting annoyed by your doubts and calling you rude.

 

Either way, Procy clarifies that he isn't talking about their personalities, which he says they may well be opposites. He lost his innocence, became rebellious against everyone, and thought anything was justified if it was for his own life. He was forcibly taken away from his own old home, so he had always been looking for a place to return to, somewhere his heart could rely on. In his search, he met Huckle and Ryekie and a bunch of other heroes. He found his own place in life, but Gomeisa hadn't at the time he met him. Seeing him shiver in fear like so ended up reminding him of how he used to be. So, he tried to look cool and thought maybe he could give him that home.

 

Procy looks over to Gomeisa, who is smiling happily among all the others. He calls himself sentimental for having done all that he did, but he's adamant even now that it was never a mistake. You either call out Procy's name or call him kind or cool. B and C shocks Procy into saying he didn't say all that because he wanted someone to call him those things. He tells you to stop looking at him like that since it's creeping him out.

 

Procy declares that's the end of his past story and prompts you to go hang around with the others. You however point out that this party is meant to be for him, so it's not like you guys can have it without him. Procy says he'll be fine in some embarrassment as it suits his personality more to watch from afar than take part in festivities. Gomeisa walks over and says they can't have a party without the guest of honor and hugs him, causing Procy to react in surprise as he tells him to let go and stop holding him like a doll.

 

Kirsch agrees with Gomeisa and says she got a pudding cake for Procy. Procy is taken aback at one of his favorites being brought over for the party and says it must have been that one store owner who did it. Mokdai is a bit surprised to hear that Procy likes pudding, so Polaris Mask starts talking about how Procy is having some like all the time. He gets to talking about how Procy's always buying baked pudding from Kirsch's bakery when Procy starts pitching a fit, trying to prevent his image from breaking any further.

 

Gomeisa plops Procy right in the middle of the party, where the big pudding cake, a bunch of food and drinks, and the smiles of all his friends waiting to welcome him back are. Gomeisa signals to everyone else, and on his count everyone yells out welcome back. Procy still looks a bit dissatisfied at having to be at that spot, but he smiles nonetheless and says he's back. The End.

 

 

 

Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 12

We pick back up from last time with the appearance of a giant ass Kaibutsu roaring, which narration points out before describing how the thing can stand shoulder to shoulder with the nearby ruined buildings that go at least ten stories high. The freakish thing truly is piercing the sky, but the party is still fighting it regardless. In fact we have skipped a bit as the party has been roughed up as Akashi and Procy fire off their finishers at the monster. Barrel breathes hard to catch his breath as he notes how tough the thing is. Akashi says that the monster not reacting to you guys throwing your full strength at it is demoralizing. You see that everyone is getting tired, so you ask Gomeisa to heal them.

 

Gomeisa follows your command, and he asks everyone to regroup so he can heal them all at once. Akashi moves to do so, apologizing and thanking him. The other three can't hide their worries in the face of the Kaibutsu, and Akashi points out how big it is and wonders what its deal is. Barrel estimates that it must be at least 100 m/ ~328 ft on the lowballing side, and it has been forever since he's seen one that size. Procy meanwhile is looking around looking for something, then catches sight of the villain in the shadows. He takes it as confirmation that they lured the thing over, but he's still surprised they got one so big to come. You ask Procy what he means.

 

Procy tells you it's not important and that it'd be better for you to not know what sort of tricks assholes come up with. But that aside, this is a dire situation to be in as he says you guys can't leave that monster alone. Barrel agrees, saying to the north of Southern Kanto is the city of Saitama while to the east is Chiba. And back to the west is Orient City. Akashi means that if you guys don't defeat it, the Kaibutsu will attack one of those places. If so, then that means you guys don't have any other choice but to go after it. Procy says that's the deal, then tells the two to hang in there and focus, so Akashi and Barrel yell in acknowledgment. They jump forward as Gomeisa tries to call after them, his eyes filled with a mix of frustrations and fear.

 

Title card pops up, and this chapter is called For Tomorrow's Smiles.

 

Afterwards, Mokdai starts commenting on how you guys have been in a cycle of hurting and healing, but you guys will hit a limit if that keeps going. Fortunately you guys have tons of views coming in. You agree and wonder what to do about this. Mokdai says that even if you guys can't beat it, it'd be enough to push it back to the dimensional space it came from. He looks around to see if there are any ideas he can come up with. Gomeisa quietly looks up at the Kaibutsu, then suddenly starts talking to no one. He asks, "what are you trying to say?" You turn to him in confusion.

 

Barrel yells at Gomeisa to watch out, shocking him. Barrel then calls out his finisher Unlimited Gun Works Bullseye "Bang&Bang&Bang" which causes extra guns besides the ones in his hands to materialize behind him to unload on the Kaibutsu with concentrated firepower. The shower of energy bullets cut through the monster's tentacles. You ask if this is his finisher, say it's super flashy, or say it's so like him.

 

Barrel cheers for himself after shooting his load, only to be caught off guard that the Kaibutsu's honeycombed tentacles regenerate rapidly. The monster swings back at Barrel in retaliation, which slams him with enough force to throw him into a building behind him, and the impact causes a lot of cracks to form. He grunts in pain, and Gomeisa and Akashi yell in alarm for him. Akashi then forms a fireball in his hand, and you either say you're getting mad, tell Akashi to calm down, or say you won't forgive the Kaibutsu. A and C has Procy yelling at Akashi to calm down since his energy distribution is falling apart while B has Procy agree with you before saying that same thing.

 

Procy points out that Gomeisa is heading towards Barrel, and that he can heal him since he's transformed. In the mean time, the two of them will have to keep the Kaibutsu from interfering with that, so Akashi apologizes for losing his cool and says he's okay. Akashi then asks you to operate and command them in a way that won't impede the healing, which you acknowledge.

 

Meanwhile, Gomeisa runs over to Barrel and asks if he's okay. Barrel admits he's not doing that well as his chest hurt when he tried to stand up, so some of his ribs seem to be broken. Gomeisa says his healing can't reach the bones, but he still casts his heal on Barrel for now. His visible wounds disappear, and Barrel is amazed as he says most of the pain is gone now before thanking Gomeisa.

 

Gomeisa apologizes for letting himself get distracted. Barrel says he doesn't need to do that, and more importantly he suggests that they return to the battle lines. He asks Gomeisa to continue his work on the back lines, then runs off ahead. Gomeisa calls after him in concern, and Barrel stumbles off awkwardly gritting his teeth. Gomeisa then looks at his hands, which are able to heal anyone but have not actually protected anyone before. He talks to himself about being protected again, even though he was determined to stand up in the face of things that frightened him. But here he is, hanging back in fear. He then starts thinking of what he can do to protect the people he cares about when he fears fighting, hurting, and being hurt. Then he balls up his fists as he seems to have an idea.

 

Back to the battle, Akashi wonders out loud in annoyance about how much the Kaibutsu must have eaten on other planets. They've been attacking it for a while now, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Procy however says he can definitely tell that the monster's movements are slowing down, and while he admits it's hard to see, you guys should find a chance to win if you keep up the attacks. Akashi brings up the possibility that you guys will burn out before then, but Procy cuts him off and says something is coming from his right.

 

Akashi is caught off guard by the tentacle that Barrel had blown off earlier crawling for him. Barrel calls out to him, and he tries to line up some shots to save him, but the pain causes his aim to drift. He curses the pain for acting up at this point, but Gomeisa calls out for his green winds to gather. Illusionary leaves collect in front of Akashi, who reacts in surprise to the leaves bouncing the tentacle away like a cushion. The Kaibutsu also reacts in surprise as Gomeisa declares he won't let it hurt anyone anymore, and you call out Gomeisa's name.

 

Gomeisa walks out and stands further out front of Akashi, glaring at the Kaibutsu with a serious look in his eyes. Akashi is concerned, thanking Gomeisa for his help but saying it's dangerous for him to be standing over there. Procy also tells Gomeisa to stand back, but Gomeisa says he doesn't want to be the one being protected all the time anymore. The monster roars a bit, and Procy says it's coming. A tentacle lashes out, but Gomeisa kicks it back, his foot glowing a jade green aura. Akashi is amazed that Gomeisa can do that, and Gomeisa starts talking about how he doesn't like fighting and likely never will. But despite and because of that, he feels it's wrong to never fight and stay as someone being protected.

 

Flashback happens where Huckle talks about how someone who is good at fighting can go protect someone who hates it. People who are good at fighting do so to remove conflict so that more people can live without having to fight themselves. It's necessary for the peace Gomeisa loves so much. And back to the present, Gomeisa continues his speech, saying there should be a way for him to end the battle in his own way without having to fight. He then says he'll end it through his own methods of fighting.

 

Barrel is surprised by Gomeisa, who swears he won't cry and tremble like he did in the past before, nor will he depend on Procy. He'll fight in his own way to create peace, because he is a hero. The Kaibutsu yells, and Gomeisa says it's attacking again. Akashi and Procy attack to repel the tentacles aiming for Gomeisa, and the force of their attacks cause the monster to lose its balance and fall over. Gomeisa turns to the two and calls to them, and Procy says he's so slow to find his resolve. Akashi adds that it feels like he finally did it, then points out that he's not the only one fighting. Barrel agrees, saying they're all working together. He then asks to see how Gomeisa will fight up close, and Gomeisa is moved by everyone's words. You suggest that everyone joins their strength together to defeat the monster and say you'll support them.

 

Gomeisa turns to you, then agrees, smiling wide. Procy says there's no longer a front and back line, then says they'll all be going in staggering their attacks. You guys are taking this thing right here, right now. The party yells back in acknowledgment. Mokdai points out that the Kaibutsu is getting back up, then wishes you guys luck. You nod, declaring the battle live is continuing and tell everyone to do their best as the episode battle launches. More story afterwards.

 

After the battle, the story picks up towards the end of it as Procy pants, saying the Kaibutsu has been weakened. Barrel agrees, noting that it's almost stopped moving. Akashi points out that you guys are also reaching your limits, and you try to rally the guys to keep it up just a bit longer. Akashi does his best to hang on, while Gomeisa stands there quietly looking up to the monster writhing in pain. He asks if it's lonely, sadness filling his eyes. Barrel tries to ask Gomeisa if he's okay, so Gomeisa asks the party if he can handle what's left of the battle. You are confused but agree, then ask if he can pull it off.

 

Procy notes that if Gomeisa is saying all that, he must have a plan then. Gomeisa admits he doesn't, but says it looks like the Kaibutsu is lonely to him. Barrel is confused at that, so Gomeisa says it just looks that way to him. He wants to try returning it home so it won't feel that way anymore. He wants to try talking to it, even if it won't listen to him. Gomeisa puts on a sort of charming look on his face as he raises his right hand, then starts dancing. No one is playing music or making a beat with their hands, yet he dances smoothly without missing a step. He calls out to all the warriors scattered across the universe and his siblings, asking them to dance with him and asking the Kaibutsu to get along and play with everyone.

 

Green crystals of light form in Gomeisa's hands before flying up and surrounding the Kaibutsu. Gomeisa then spreads his arms and shouts, calling out his finisher Deep Affection "Dansaque Tripath" (or something similar). His every move causes particles of light fly around like sand, which then wraps up the monster. This light forms a cage, as though formed by woven vines or spreading plant roots. Akashi is amazed as he comments on the beauty of it, then notices his wounds are healing and asks why. Barrel adds that the pain from his broken bones seem to be fixed now too despite being told Gomeisa couldn't fix them. He then asks if this is Gomeisa's finisher, then asks what's actually happening as he looks inside the cage. You stay silent then/or say you see something.

 

You see a bunch of giants around the cage that look very similar to Gomeisa, though far taller, burlier, and half transparent. The giants match Gomeisa's movements, and they sing and dance as one. They look as though they're having fun, wishing for a world without conflict like Gomeisa does. Mokdai is confused and asks why you're looking up, and you either react with confusion of your own or point out the giants. If you go with B, Mokdai doesn't really understand as he says Gomeisa is a giant, but he's not that tall. Either way he tries pointing the camera up in the same direction, and you wonder if only you can see them.

 

Procy reacts in shock as he points out that the cage is opening up. The Kaibutsu is steadily shrinking within the cage, going from tens of meters, to about ten meters, to less than that. Barrel notices this in surprise. By the time the cage disappears, the monster is less than a meter tall. It seems to moan as it looks up, showing no signs of going on a rampage. You see what seems to be a drop of water fall from its apparent eyes, and you wonder aloud if it's crying. The next instant it starts glowing and turning into bits of light, and it quietly disappears into the sky as if returning home of its own will.

 

Gomeisa sympathizes with the Kaibutsu, then ends his dance by lowering his hands and lining his feet up. Peace then falls upon the ruined city again. Akashi asks if it's over since the monster is gone now, and Barrel talks about how it disappeared in a way he's never seen before, like it left on its own. Procy thinks upon how this is Gomeisa's fighting style, then says it suits him. Gomeisa apologizes to and thanks the Kaibutsu, then says he feels like danced with the others for the first in a long time. You ask him what he did just now. Gomeisa admits that he doesn't understand much either, saying that when he noticed, the monster was already caged up. He does say he thought about wanting to heal its heart though.

 

Gomeisa talks about how the villains you guys fought up to this point must have had their own reasons for fighting. If he can learn what those reasons are, then he can start looking for a way to find mutual understanding. He could also more precisely heal hearts and bodies that are on edge rather than doing so in broad strokes. He's sure he could find a way to end things besides having one side win and the other lose.

 

Gomeisa continues talking, saying he felt strongly about wanting to protect everyone, but he also wanted to know what the Kaibutsu was rampaging. Through that, he somehow came to see that the monster was lonely and wanted to go back somewhere. That's why Gomeisa danced his heart out, wishing that it wouldn't be lonely anymore and that it could go back to wherever.

 

Barrel thinks on the idea of healing the Kaibutsu's heart, then on the idea of approaching the hearts of those on the side of evil to end battles rather than punishing them. He comments that that is Gomeisa's method for creating the peace he believes in, his justice. Barrel then stows his gun away and smiles, saying he's no match for Gomeisa in more ways than one. He comments that it's a big world, so he still has more to learn.

 

Procy starts talking to Gomeisa, so Gomeisa asks him his thoughts on how he fought. There are hints of tears in his eyes, but he still smiles sweetly for Procy. Procy says he did good, hugging Gomeisa's head to his chest and patting him. Gomeisa is surprised for a moment, then smiles in relief.

 

Some time later, Procy suggests it's time to head back since it's getting late. Barrel either apparently tries to hotwire the car or tries to start it as normal, and he cheers when it starts up again so that you guys can take it back to the city. Akashi is taken aback at how the roof has been torn off, but he notes that some sacrifices have to be made. Mokdai asks that Barrel not drive too fast since you guys have a lot of luggage on board. Barrel assures you guys that he'll get you back safe and sound as he asks you guys to believe in his driving skills. You either quip that you aren't comforted, decide that if you get home then it'll be okay, or say the breeze ought to be nice. C has Barrel saying you're an optimist as he agrees while Akashi is baffled as he says he sometimes wishes he had your personality.

 

Procy is a little worried that the patrol car can't move very fast as is and says he'll slow down for you guys. He's then shocked by a sudden movement, and Gomeisa has crammed himself into Procy's motorbike's sidecar saying he got in today too. Procy is annoyed at this and points out that there's a car today he could be riding in. He tells him to go over there because he's going to kill his fuel efficiency dammit.

 

Gomeisa looks so heartbroken at the idea of not riding with Procy, so Procy reluctantly gives in and says he won't be responsible if his back hurts. He also tells him to put his helmet on, which he already had inside the seat. Gomeisa is all smiles after he puts the helmet on, and you either say he's strong in all sorts of ways, say he's cute, or say you're jealous. A and B has Barrel get depressed at the idea that Gomeisa doesn't believe in his driving ability, though Mokdai says that's probably not why he's not in the car. In C, Barrel asks you in shock about not having any faith in his driving, but Akashi thinks you meant that in a different way, maybe. Anyways, Procy leads the way, and the car follows after him as you guys depart. The episode ends as evening sets on the wasteland while you all head towards the lights of the skyscrapers in the distance.

 

 

 

 

Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 11

Title card pops up immediately, and this chapter is called His Place to Return To.

 

We then pick up from last time as the party reacts in surprise at seeing Procy, with Gomeisa caling out to him and Procy actually seeing that it's us here. He starts to ask why you're all here and if you know what kind of place this is when Kaibutsu scream and cut him off. Procy gets pissed at the interruption and whacks the thing away, and you are amazed at his strength as a veteran hero. Procy grumbles that the conversation will never get anywhere if they keep cutting in, so he tells you guys to save it for later and help him get rid of the freaks. You agree with the idea.

 

Procy orders Gomeisa to stay behind you guys and support you. Gomeisa hesitates, so Procy demands an answer. Gomeisa then says he'll do his best, and Mokdai comments that Gomeisa seems happy. He then turns to you and says he's resuming the battle live, starting up the episode battle as the Kaibutsu roar again. The story continues afterwards.

 

After the battle, the story picks up at the point the last Kaibutsu is taken down, dispersing into light and disappearing. Procy sighs as he asks if it's over now. He attempts to ask why you guys are here again when Gomeisa yells and forcefully grabs him in a tackle-hug. Procy is taken by surprise at this and tells Gomeisa to let him go, but Gomeisa is too busy crying over seeing him again. He's hugging so hard that Procy says it's starting to hurt and that Gomeisa's never learned to hold back.

 

Barrel explains to Procy that you guys came looking for him, and Procy recognizes him from the police station before asking if he really did come all this way looking for him. Barrel confirms that, adding that it was Gomeisa who requested the search and that they figured to come here in the course of things. He also throws in that Gomeisa really wanted to see him. Procy goes quiet, and Mokdai adds that Gomeisa was so focused on looking for him that he forgot about other things. Akashi says it was a pain getting here, but now that they found him your part in this is over.

 

Procy starts calling you all idiots, and that you're all even dumber than he thought if you really did come here after investigating his trail. He demands to know how you guys could so casually stroll all the way here. You guys must've known it'd be dangerous, which is why he never wrote down where he was going. However, Gomeisa cuts off Procy's rant by yelling that he was worried about him, and you are shocked that Gomeisa would show anger.

 

Gomeisa argues that the note he left said nothing at all. If Procy came here for his sake, then he asks why Procy didn't include that in it. Gomeisa also brings up that today is the first day he found out about Procy having always fought to keep him safe and the reason that brought him to this ruined city, and he asks why he was never told about any of it. Procy is surprised by this outburst, and Gomeisa continues by saying that he's a hero too who can at least handle himself. He's still afraid, but he'll do his best. What he's more afraid of is Procy disappearing on him. His face crumples up as tears start welling in his eyes, and he starts bawling out loud all the tears he had let fall silently. The dam holding them all breaks.

 

Mokdai says Gomeisa must've been holding himself back. Akashi says Gomeisa's a crybaby, but notes he's been trying hard in his own way. Procy is shocked since he's never seen Gomeisa cry this hard before, but he starts crying a little himself as he goes quiet, then gently hugs Gomeisa's head to his chest. He apologizes for worrying him, saying it's all okay now. He smiles for Gomeisa, face full of kindness. You wonder if it's case closed now, say you're feeling some tears too, or say you might be feeling a little jealous.

 

Mokdai smiles at the scene before he asks where Barrel went. Barrel turns out to be a few feet away, crying his own eyes out and wiping his tears with his already wet handkerchief. Akashi is taken aback at this happening again and tells him to stop crying at the drop of a hat. Barrel is embarrassed as he says that he's easily moved by scenes like this, then notices he has snot running out of his nose, which he blows out. Akashi backs off, grossed out and telling him to stop. You either bring up that you saw this all happen the other day, say the mood is ruined, or comment that Barrel is open with himself. And somewhere around, a villain is watching in the shadows.

 

Time skips a bit after an offscreen explanation to Procy about how you guys figured out he was here, and he comments that you were told about pretty much all his whereabouts. He sighs about how resourceful Gammei is and says he can't underestimate him. Barrel starts to ask Procy about all of Huckle's guesses and your gleamed conclusions, and Procy tells him they're mostly right. He says if he were so easily ambushed, things wouldn't have gone on as far as it did. He heard the villains' boss was coming by and thought about settling it once and for all.

 

Gomeisa apologizes to Procy for pushing him to go that far for him. Procy says he doesn't need to apologize since he just ran away from them because he was scared. The ones in the wrong were the ones who brought him to Earth. Procy giving him shelter was just something he chose to do on his own, so Gomeisa nods. You then ask Procy what he meant by settling things. Mokdai says he's curious about that too since by all accounts Procy would be dealing with a universal power. It'd be one thing if he were looking at an individual, but Mokdai has trouble believing Procy could negotiate something out with a large organization, and that's not even getting into them being a criminal organization.

 

Procy starts explaining by acknowledging that they are a spacefaring power. If Procy were to try to pick a fight, they could just swat him like a flea. While they may be outlaws, the fact that they're a large organization means that they have a chain of command system in place. No matter if someone is a thug at the bottom of the rung or one of the bosses, they all have to abide by it. A quick flashback pops up replaying the mob guards' conversation about how the bosses have an interest in Gomeisa and will kill them all if they dispose of him. You then wonder out loud if that was why they backed off back then.

 

Akashi asks about the system and if it means that the villains have their own rules and laws. He then asks if Procy was leveraging them to settle things. Procy confirms, saying that it doesn't matter what the details are or what position someone has, if things are done to code as set by the system, they won't be able to interfere with things. Anyone who tries despite that will get branded as traitors to the organization. He's disgusted with what they do, but he'll use what he can if the opportunity presents itself. Procy then pulls out a bunch of papers with a bunch of tiny writing on them and finished with a scrawled signature. You either ask what they are, suspect what the papers are for, or comment that the handwriting sucks. C surprises Procy into telling you to not focus on things like that.

 

Anyways, Procy says the simplest way to put it is that the papers are a title deed. Whoever holds them is is in charge of Gomeisa, and the system says that the rights can be transferred if the appropriate payment is given. Procy notes that 'appropriate payment' is vague though. Barrel starts to ask the meaning of Procy having them, so Procy says he negotiated. They weren't willing to talk though, so bluntly speaking Procy had to cough up. He adds that he doesn't like the idea of equating peoples' lives to money. He says it wasn't that much to shut them up, but he admits he's further into debt now. You then ask about who Gomeisa's current owner is.

 

Procy bundles up all the papers into an envelope and holds it out to Gomeisa, saying he's giving them to him. Gomeisa is surprised by this and tries to protest, but Procy says he's not interested in discussing that as he feels the one in charge of Gomeisa should be Gomeisa himself. He's just giving him his rights back. If he has them, the villains won't lay a finger on him so long as he still keeps the thing because that's how their system works.

 

Gomeisa is lost for words, and Procy says he'll be free now. He won't have to hide at Procy's anymore, and he won't have to go back to the villains. He can go wherever he wants to, wherever he likes. Gomeisa stares at the papers he was given, then asks Procy to hold them. Procy is surprised by this, as is Mokdai who asks if Gomeisa understood what Procy had told him. Gomeisa is quiet for a moment before he smiles and reveals that he doesn't, shocking Mokdai into telling him not to brush things off with a smile like that.

 

Akashi is also shocked at things and asks what's happening with Gomeisa's work contract to Procy's store. Barrel says he doesn't want to think about it. Gomeisa says that while he didn't understand, he has pieced together that the holder of the documents would be his owner. You notice that he has understood that part, so you ask him why he's giving the papers back.

 

Gomeisa says he wants Procy to hold the papers, then talks about how he took him in when he was brought to Earth and didn't know what to do. Procy was the one to teach him universal common, how life on Earth works, how to work at his pub, and how to cook. Procy was also the one to give him a home, and Procy can't bring himself to say anything to that. Gomeisa then says that Procy is like a father to him on Earth, someone important to him. So because of that he wants Procy to have him even after this, and he smiles without a care in the world at him.

 

Procy sighs at him, then takes the envelope back in resignation. He then says he'll just be safekeeping them for Gomeisa. When Gomeisa finally understands what the papers really mean, he'll give them back. He calls Gomeisa a kid for entrusting himself to him so easily, saying it's such a bother. You either sigh Procy's name or ask if he's blushing. B gets an extra line where Procy is shocked and claims he isn't, and that he suddenly got a fever from how baffled he was.

 

Procy quickly changes the subject and prompts everyone that it's time to go home, saying it'll be nighttime when you guys get back at this rate. He rushes over to his motorbike, ears burning red. Gomeisa asks him to wait and asks why he's mad. Procy denies being mad, then tells him to stop clinging to him so much. Akashi laughs and says they have a weird relationship. Mokdai thinks on how Gomeisa compared Procy to a father and says they do act the part. Barrel says he's starting to feel like seeing his parents too. You suggest to the party that you guys head back too.

 

Akashi agrees, and Barrel worries about the patrol car and hopes it still works. Mokdai panics a little at remembering that the car got damaged, but some rumbling catches everyone's attention as Akashi asks about it. The rumbling gets even stronger, which makes Barrel think that it's an earthquake. Procy however realizes that the way the trembling is happening isn't a quake, and soon you hear the sounds of something being destroyed. The episode soon ends as a giant Kaibutsu reveals itself.

 

 

 

Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 10

Narration starts by establishing where we are, which would be about 40 km/24.9 mi from the eastern edge of Orient City in a wasteland within Southern Kanto. Barrel is taunting some Kaibutsu into running after him, and they roar as they do so. After a moment, Barrel says there's enough gathered together, then signals to Akashi and Gomeisa. Akashi throws out his finishing move, and Gomeisa apologizes to the monsters as he assists by creating a tornado to combine with Akashi's attack, creating a fire tornado. The Kaibutsu are drawn into the twister one by one, and by the time the twister dies out the monsters have all burst into light particles that rise into the sky. You declare victory and thank everyone for their work or say you guys managed to get through the battle.

 

Akashi cheers, saying he was worried earlier when five of them turned up at once, but things worked out because Barrel drew their attention away. Gomeisa apologizes to the monsters again, though he also says it couldn't be helped. Akashi asks Gomeisa if he's okay since he looks tired to him, but Gomeisa says he's okay and apologizes for worrying him. Barrel also worries for Gomeisa.

 

Gomeisa then asks if everyone's okay, saying he'll heal everyone while he's still transformed. More Kaibutsu show up and interrupt though, which Mokdai points out in shock. Akashi gets irritated by their appearance and says he'll do something this time, but Barrel rushes ahead to draw aggro again. He deliberately fires at the monsters' feet, which pisses them off into focusing on him. It turns out there are more of them than he expected though. Akashi calls him an idiot, then tells Gomeisa they're going in to support him.

 

Mokdai turns to you and asks if it seems like Barrel is jumping out at random to you. He does admit that making himself a decoy is making it easier on Akashi and Gomeisa though. You agree or stay quiet. Some time later, Barrel says it was an easy fight, but Gomeisa points out he's pretty beat and heals him. Barrel seems a little surprised, but he says it's expected to take some damage with that many of them on his tail. He assures Gomeisa that he's a tough guy who's still full of energy, so he suggests hurrying on. Gomeisa is doubtful but decides to accept it. Akashi looks on in concern.

 

Title card pops up, and this chapter is called To Point Yh.

 

Back to the story, the patrol car rattles as Barrel drives onward. The earth tone highway seems to continue on for forever, and the dull unchanging scenery invites sleepiness whether you like it or not. Mokdai is asleep, as is Gomeisa who is sleep talking about how much sun there is. Akashi sighs about how carefree they are, then tells Mokdai he'll catch a cold if he sleeps with his stomach exposed as he moves to cover him up. You comment on how comfortably they're sleeping, say you've almost realized something, or say you're feeling sleepy too.

 

Barrel laughs, saying they were up all night then had to stay up through a bunch of battles. Anyone would be tired in that case. If you guys want to sleep too, Barrel says you should do so now since it'll take an hour or two to reach your destination. Akashi asks if Barrel is okay since he's going to be driving the car. Barrel insists he's fine, though all the shaking means he needs to concentrate. Then again there isn't any oncoming traffic, pedestrians, or traffic control to worry about either. But then a large pop and crash sound blows up and the car starts tilting to one side.

 

Gomeisa is shaken awake naturally, and he asks what happened. Barrel wonders if the car broke down, and the party piles out to take a look what happened. As it turns out, the front right wheel has popped flat, which Mokdai points out. It also seems to be the only damaged tire at least. Akashi notices that there's a lot of sharp metal fragments and rocks all over the place, so it wasn't that weird that the tire popped. Mokdai asks Barrel if there's a spare tire in the car, and Barrel answers that there is, along with the tools for a tire replacement in the trunk.

 

Akashi suggests they get on with the tire change, then says he and Mokdai can do it while Barrel takes a break. Barrel tries to protest this since he's the driver, but Akashi insists since he'll be driving again. He also points out that Barrel was always moving ahead in their earlier battles, so he'd have to be tired. Gomeisa also volunteers to help out, so Mokdai says they can do so together and asks if he knows how to use a jack. Gomeisa however doesn't know what a jack even is, so Mokdai relegates him to just carrying the tire.

 

Akashi, Mokdai, and Gomeisa get to work on changing out the tire, and you either lament that there wasn't room for you to help, or you decide to sit down too. There happens to be a big rock nearby, and you decide to sit in its shade. Barrel is also already there, sitting with something in his mouth that looks like a cigar. He notices and asks if you don't have anything to do either, so he invites you to sit with him. You either express surprise that he smokes or ask if he's smoking a cigar.

 

Barrel takes a moment to understand what you mean, then offers you one as well. He pulls out a bag with more of the stuff inside, and the bag has Super Thick Jerky written on it. Barrel says he likes chewy things, so he's always carrying some around as snacks. You either observe that it's jerky, comment that it's dog-like treat, or ask about how thick it is. B has Barrel denying that he's a dog, but he admits he does resemble one. Besides that, he'd rather you call him a wolf instead because it's cooler. In C, Barrel says thicker is better because it then feels nicer to have in your mouth. It'll get softer when you suck on it, and then you can enjoy the taste.

 

Anyways, you take a seat next to Barrel and look out into the vast empty wasteland. The only sounds you hear is the wind, and the only scent is the scent of the soil. There are no traces that there was ever people here. Just land and sky as far as the eye can see. You comment on the emptiness and ask if this really is Kanto. Barrel says yes and is confused why you're so surprised. He asks you about being a resident in Orient City since everyone should know that. Narration agrees with Barrel, saying that One Part of you knows for a fact that this place is empty. But another part of you has an indescribable sensation at looking all this. You either say he's right or wonder why you thought it was strange.

 

Barrel says you're mysterious, saying that sometimes you give off this enigmatic aura but you still seem reliable and steady. If a battle suddenly happens, he really can count on you. He comments on understanding why Akashi and the others care about you so much. You express some doubt about that, say it's not that deep, or say he can care about you too like that. C has Barrel laugh and accept the suggestion.

 

Barrel decides to ask if you'll listen to him talk for a bit, and he looks off to the distance narrowing his eyes like he's feeling nostalgic for somewhere far to the east past the sea. He drops the civil servant pronoun to talk more personally about how in his hometown, Westerns are seen as so old that no one bothers to care about them. If anything there were people that hated them, calling them a microcosm of a gun society, or barbaric and violent. There were even parents who were hesitant to show them to children, worried that they would start mimicking the movies.

 

But whatever society thought of Westerns, Barrel thought the sheriffs in those movies as simply cool. They were what inspired him to be a heroic adult who could risk his life for the justice he believes in. When he tried to enter the police or military back home, his parents and teachers were against it. He fought with them, and eventually he moved to Japan. The only one of his relatives he can contact at this point is his grandmother. He laughs, but you pick up on a sense of loneliness from him. You either go oh at his story, or you point out that Japan doesn't let citizens have guns either. B has Barrel says he knows, but he was just thinking of getting away from his family at the time.

 

Either way, Barrel says he knows Japan doesn't let just anyone have a gun. He says that anyone who holds a gun must be prepared to carry the responsibility for having it, and his gunlock would be the weight of justice. Due to that and his job as a protector of the people, he wants to defend people with his gun. Barrel then takes out the stun gun he has from his holster and poses with it. Narration describes the gun as being gun-shaped, but it doesn't actually have a muzzle. It just shoots bolts of electricity. Barrel then talks about wanting to hold a gun to save people like Gomeisa who are afraid of fighting, and to keep away the people who would threaten them. While it may look forced, he feels that this current incident is a mission he put upon himself. You remark that that must be why he charged out in front earlier.

 

Barrel says his actions have caused Akashi and the others to fuss over him, which he feels ashamed about. He really was trying to be nonchalant about his protecting of the party, but now it seems like he pushed himself too much. You tell him you guys were fighting together, so of course you guys would notice. He admits the point, embarrassed. You then lead into your next point with either "but..." or "because of that..." which breaks into smaller dialogue trees.

 

If you start with "but," Barrel looks at you confused. You either say his determination got through to you, ask him to not forget how he feels, or say you think he's cool. In A, he's surprised then thanks you. In B, Barrel is surprised but says okay. In C, Barrel is taken aback but thanks you, blushing. Alternatively, if you start with "because of that," you either tell him he should push himself so hard, tell him to not make you guys worry over him so much, or say he looked cool. The reactions pretty much map the same for the other branch, only with less surprise in A and B.

 

At this point, Akashi yells over to you guys that the tire has been changed, so you guys can keep going whenever. Barrel notes that break time is over, so he suggests heading to where Procy is right away. He stands back up and exhales through his nose, then turns to you with a smile. He puts his civil servant pronoun back on as he says he'll be counting on you for everything coming up, and you respond affirmatively.

 

Time passes to the point where you guys reach a ruined city, an hour and a half later, The buildings are all damaged, but the road pavement is still okay. You ask if this is Point Yh, and Barrel says it seems to be at least. The distance you guys drove suggests that this is the place too. Mokdai notes that it looks like it used to a big city with lots of tall buildings and wide roads. Akashi says it looks awful and asks if the Kaibutsu did all this.

 

The car rattles on as you look outside. For an instant, your vision flickers. What you then see is what the city apparently looked like before it was destroyed. Many people are running around trying to escape, and there are giant Kaibutsu that fill your field of vision. They chomp down, biting even into the buildings and streets as they eat people. A sign left behind gradually slips, eventually falling over, hiding the name of the place. You talk out loud about the city itself getting eaten and becoming completely forgotten, which prompts Akashi to ask you what's wrong. When you look again, you see the city in its present ruined state. You express confusion and say you saw something just now. Gomeisa however notices something and points forward as he calls for the car to stop.

 

What Gomeisa caught sight of is a tiny motorbike. It has a sidecar attached to it, with several bags that seem to be travel supplies laying in it. Gomeisa says it's Procy's bike. He's always riding it, but it suddenly disappeared. Akashi notes that it looks pretty fancy and is surprised by that. Mokdai says it does look to be Procy's size, then asks if that means he drove it all the way here. Barrel notes that the engine is still warm, which means he should be somewhere nearby in all likelihood. You excitedly ask if he's sure and suggest splitting up to look for him. Akashi however points out that the place is big, so you guys could get lost.

 

Rumbling soon catches that party's attention, and Kaibutsu start appearing to Mokdai's panic. Barrel gets angry at the interruption since you guys just found a clue, saying he won't show mercy if they get in the way. Akashi says you guys will just have to do it, then asks you for the transformation. You say okay and tell everyone that you're counting on them. Mokdai says the camera is set, so the live can start. Gomeisa talks about finally getting closer to Procy, so he doesn't want to give up. He apologizes to the Kaibutsu, asking them to not get in the way, and the episode battle begins as they roar. More story happens after that.

 

After the battle, things pick up with the Kaibutsu bursting into light. Akashi says you guys should leave now to look for Procy before more show up, but he happens to be too late on that as bigger monsters show up. Gomeisa is a bit alarmed at how many of them there are and wonders if they've been angered. The monsters seem aggravated to you too. One of them swings with its arms, and Barrel reacts in horror to it scratching into the top half of the car he borrowed. Mokdai says that if they can touch things on this side, then there must be full grown Kaibutsu among them. Akashi says you guys are at a disadvantage and turns to you for ideas. You say you guys should run and try to lose them, but you'd like to defeat them if possible.

 

Mokdai points out that something is behind you, and when you turn to look there are more Kaibutsu there too. You yell that you guys are surrounded. Narration confirms that there are monsters in every direction. As they approach, Barrel says he'll draw them off again, so you guys should run while he does so. Gomeisa tries to argue the point, as does Akashi who points out there's too many for Barrel to get away from. Barrel says that if he gets eaten, then there was no other option. Akashi calls him an idiot as he tries to argue some more, but then another voice calls out as a flash and a mighty blow slams against one of the monster's head.

 

You react in surprise to what happened, and Mokdai asks if Barrel shot the thing. Barrel says it wasn't him, but Gomeisa recognizes the attack. A small silhouette stands before you, stamping a hammer besides them. He talks about thinking there was another swarm happening, only to find the monsters attacking someone again. He then challenges the Kaibutsu to come after him instead, and the episode ends with you calling Procy's name.

 

 

Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 9

Things pick up with the party over at Gammei's office at the police station where he has been informed about the Point Yh thing and has been asked where it is. He mutters to himself about not getting the logic behind it as he flips through some notes. Gammei then mentions that Procy hasn't contacted his agency since disappearing, nor has he done any broadcasts. The agency wasn't saying anything, but he feels you guys now have a checkmate, and he compliments your efforts. If the information is correct, he feels Procy should be over there...if nothing happened to him at any rate.

 

Huckle repeats that last bit in some confusion while Barrel pesters Gammei for details about where Point Yh is. He pleads, saying he's decided and that he made a promise. All of you are going to see Procy, no matter where he is. Gomeisa also asks Gammei to tell you guys as well. Gammei is a bit sad to hear the 'no matter where' part, and then he steels himself as he declares the search is being discontinued.

 

Title card pops up, and this chapter is called Those Who Leave/Stand at Dawn. I'm not sure which actually.

 

Anyways back with the plot, the party is unified in their confusion over Gammei stopping the investigation, and Gomeisa asks him why. Barrel also refuses to accept stopping things there as he asks for an explanation as well. Gammei starts making his point by ordering Barrel to state their affiliation. Barrel is confused but complies, saying they're part of the Orient City city police in the [X] Department, [Y] Section. Gammei emphasizes the 'city police' part, saying that means their jurisdiction is only within city limits. Investigating outside that defined area means that all kinds of paperwork must be sent to the police department of the relevant area. They'd also need to explain that to their superiors, and he points out that Barrel knows how strict they are about that. Barrel reluctantly agrees.

 

Huckle asks if Gammei is saying that Point Yh is outside of Orient City. Gammei confirms it, and says that also leads to the second reason he's pulling the brakes. Point Yh is where those guys are running a 'resource' gathering operation. That's where the ruins of a large city destroyed about 180 years ago remain, and people are still living over there. It's also a place where Kaibutsu have been repeatedly observed to appear to the point that people have lost count. Mokdai is shocked to hear that Kaibutsu have been seen multiple times there, and Huckle asks Gammei if that happens to be Southern Kanto. You ask about the term.

 

Gammei confirms that to be the case, and he explains that Southern Kanto is the standard term for the area. The Japanese government is restricting entrance to the place, a bunch of ruined streets whose names are Forgotten. Point Yh is about 70-80 km (~43.5 - ~49.7 mi) to the east of Orient City, and it seems it used to be a port town. It became known as Point Yh because people saw a ruined sign that had the letters Y and h on it over there. Another 20-30 km (~12.4 - ~18.6 mi) away from it is a Kaibutsu Nest where the things have been seen to appear and disappear at, which you think on.

 

Gammei says that thanks to that, the villains are making some secondary revenue doing some Kaibutsu Hunting, so the managers on up don't want to get closer, which leaves them to do as they please. Gammei then summarizes his main points, saying that it's outside their scope of power and more importantly is highly dangerous. Gammei then sits back down in his chair, exhaling deeply as he puts down his smoking pipe. He says that if he lets you guys who aren't even police officers go, his superiors will never let him hear the end of it. He can't sit back and watch you guys go either, and he won't be going with you. He doesn't want you guys going, both as someone in charge and on a more personal level.

 

Gomeisa is briefly dejected, but he stands by his earlier decision to go see Procy no matter what so that he can thank him. Huckle tells you guys that he agrees with Gammei, saying he can't just let you guys go to Southern Kanto. You either try to argue or reluctantly accept that. Akashi argues that Huckle is going back on what he said the day before, but Huckle says there's a difference between a place he can see you guys off with some confidence you'll return and a place where he doesn't have as much confidence in that. He sigh apologetically.

 

Huckle says it'd be one thing if Ryekie was going with you guys, but it's extremely dangerous for you guys to be going there with so little experience. The place is on a whole different level than what he's let you guys go to before. He makes a point of saying Procy isn't coming back since it's still possible he can return on his own. He understands your frustrations, but he asks if you guys can just stay in the city and wait. Gomeisa brings up the possibility that Procy might be hurt or in a bad situation if it's so dangerous. He can't stomach waiting for him when Procy went out for his sake and might disappear, and he worries over him some more. You sympathize with him or stay quiet. Huckle sadly looks at Gomeisa, who has balled up his fists and is trying to hold back tears. Barrel then comes to a decision, and he suddenly bows deeply.

 

Barrel formally states his name and position as police officer, but then decides to change tacks and declares his hero affiliation instead of job. He then declares that he is going with the client to Point Yh in Southern Kanto for a rescue mission. Everyone reacts with shock at this, and you either say his name in surprise or ask if he was listening to everything so far. B has an extra line where Barrel says he heard and is going regardless.

 

Gammei angrily calls Barrel a dumbass as he slams his desk, shaking some of the things on it. He yells, asking if he realizes that the higher ups will never stand for him acting on his own. Barrel however argues that if he can't act as a police officer, then it'd be fine if he were acting as a hero. If the founding idea of the Earth Sphere Alliance Hero Detachment is 'value the lives of Earth's citizens,' then Barrel will act as a hero and not a policeman to go save peoples' lives. Gammei yells at him to shut it with the technicalities, but Barrel fires back that he won't leave people to wallow in their grief and sadness, shocking him.

 

Barrel argues that being a policeman and hero means nothing if you can't save anyone. Barrel also talks about how the sheriffs he admired acted out of their own justice. Even if they had to dance on the verge of death, they never compromised on their justice, so Barrel says he wants to act in the justice he believes in, even switching from a civil servant pronoun to a regular personal one. Barrel then immediately walks over to Gomeisa without waiting for Gammei to respond and takes his hand. He tells him they should go together to find Procy. Gomeisa is surprised at first, then smiles as he agrees and they run off. Gammei attempts to stop Barrel while Mokdai watches in surprise.

 

Akashi turns to you and starts to talk. You either say you understand and suggest going, or you say you guys promised. There is a difference between Akashi's two responses in that B has Akashi also lead into the main dialogue, but it's minor. But anyways Akashi says he can't stay quiet and watch Barrel and Gomeisa go off on their own in the face of their determination. He then mentions feeling embarrassed about being completely taken in by the stupidly straightforward heroism Justice and Barrel have. Huckle is in disbelief that you guys are going, but Mokdai says you guys should go too as he says he has extra batteries so the camera can run for 2-3 days. Akashi says it's time to chase after the others, so you bid Huckle bye for now. Huckle attempts to stop you too, but he gets left behind with Gammei.

 

Gammei is irritated at all of you guys disregarding his feelings, and Huckle says that's another part of youth as he says he'll have to lecture you guys when you get back. Gammei sympathizes with him for having crazy underlings, but Huckle says he's used to it with Ryekie. He then asks if the gate to Southern Kanto will let you guys through so easily. Gammei says they'll definitely chase you guys away. Procy could probably get through since he has an S Class license, but Barrel is a newbie as both a hero and a police officer. He mentions having a B Class license himself as he brings up some files to flip through, and he says he needs to get things in order. Since Barrel is standing up for justice, he should do what he can to support him.

 

Huckle comments on how nice Gammei is to his subordinates, saying he could just say so instead of helping when he can't see him do it. Gammei says he won't because Barrel is a doofus who'd get carried away by that. Huckle then asks what Gammei is doing then since even his license would require approval from managers higher up to get permission to go to restricted areas. Gammei points out that it'd be fine if this becomes a special mission that doesn't need that level of permission then. The owner of his hero agency is part of an international organization that ranks higher than the Japanese national government, so Gammei is going to try to discuss if there's any leeway for this. Plus, the Special Defense department owes him a favor over a villain breakout some time ago. That ought to pull some strings.

 

Huckle is surprised, mentioning he's been thinking about it for a while now as he says Gammei is wily, which annoys him. Huckle then says he should do what he can too to give Gammei's plan some insurance. Gammei is confused by this as he asks him what he means, so Huckle points out that Gammei can't get past the mayor and other government admins. Gammei is shocked silent for a moment before asking who Huckle even is. He answers that he's just a hero agency director and a former S Class hero.

 

Huckle says the big problem is what happens outside the city even if the party manages to get past the gate. Gammei agrees, then asks about your group's strength levels. Huckle admits to being worried since you and Akashi have only just entered the agency. Modkai is neither an Operator nor a hero, so all he can do is give advice. He does want you guys to stop and come back, but he's pretty sure you guys would reject the order. The key to the team is probably going to be Gomeisa since he has an A Rank license. Hopefully he'll brace himself and do his best, or maybe something else.

 

Gammei reacts in shock once he processes that Gomeisa ranks higher than he does. Since Gomeisa said he dislikes fighting, he asks how that happened. Huckle says he was issued it due to special circumstances. He's always going around with Procy to places, so he still has field experience at least. Another reason is that Gomeisa has an ability that is really useful in rendering Kaibutsu powerless. Gammei asks what that is, so Huckle answers he's only seen it once. It's something that can be called a Finisher. Since Gomeisa doesn't have much of a will to fight, it's a bit risky to use though. His ability to heal heroes is reliable though, which is enough to help out. Gammei says it sounds like he's not that firm, but it's not like he's hopeless either. Gammei then says it looks like it'd be best for him to be ready to run after you guys if the need arises. Huckle says he'll come too in that case, and he hopes you guys make it back safe and sound.

 

Scene shifts over to your end as dawn is starting to break and the sun is starting to rise. The city is now behind you, and the party advances along a mountain road. Barrel is driving the patrol car you guys are in, and he eventually stops in front of a huge wall. A tall iron lattice gate stands before you. You wonder what this is and ask if it's some sort of military establishment. Akashi says it's the gate to Southern Kanto as he says it's his first time being here, then points to something outside. That turns out to be a big sign that reads Special Hazard Area - West Gate 18.

 

Mokdai says there will be a ton of Kaibutsu when you pass through the gate, which he's getting nervous about. Gomeisa says nothing, and Barrel says the issue will be getting through as he wonders if his license will be enough. When you ask about licenses, Mokdai explains that he means an Earth Sphere Alliance hero license. It's something issued to all heroes working in the Earth Sphere. Heroes are given ranks which determine what kind of jobs they can take and which areas they can go to. Ranks can change based on an individual's abilities and achievements, but heroes generally start at Rank F. If you do as much as Ryekie's done, you could reach S Rank too, the highest rank there is.

 

Akashi says he was given a license card recently and notes he's still Rank F, so he asks what Barrel's is. Barrel is Rank D, though he doesn't have much to show for it. The subject of licenses reminds Gomeisa that he was given one too, but he apparently doesn't have it on him at the moment. Anyways, someone in uniform walks over to the car. Barrel rolls down his window and hands his card over, and the guard looks over it front and back repeatedly.

 

Barrel figures that means you guys aren't being allowed to go through, but the guard asks Barrel to confirm his name. Barrel answers that he's part of the city police, so the guard says he can go. They explain that Police Department Chief Tsukinowa from central office has issued a mission for you guys. Barrel is surprised Gammei did this but thanks him. The guard is confused by this, but Barrel waves it off as nothing and thanks them for their help.

 

The guard asks about the rest of you being cooperators from Parallel Flight. It turns out the mayor of Orient City sent in orders giving you guys permission to go, so the guard okays you. Akashi is shocked at this, and Mokdai figures it must be Huckle's doing since he and Ryekie are surprisingly familiar with the upper brass. You wonder what kind of person Huckle is and/or wonder how they negotiated this. Akashi comments that he joined one hell of an agency, and Barrel starts the car again as the gate rises. The guard salutes you, and you guys drive on through.

 

Past the gate is more of the same mountain scenery you guys had seen so far. The trees are growing thick, birds are chirping, and there is no sign of any other cars around. You say it looks peaceful and wonder if this is really a restricted area. Barrel says it should be, but he's surprised at how quiet it is too. Mokdai starts yawning and says he's getting sleepy since he was up all night, then asks if he can rest a bit. Barrel however stops the car as he sees something moving in the distance from the front.

 

A bunch of small Kaibutsu pop out from somewhere, which you catch sight of too. Barrel says you guys should be able to just push past them with the numbers he sees, so he asks you guys to hold on as he shifts gears and floors it. Akashi freaks out at this and tells Barrel not to drive off a cliff at this speed. Barrel replies that he'll try, then tells him to be careful not to bite his tongue.

 

The tires squeal as you guys rush past. The rocking eventually causes Gomeisa to fall on Mokdai, squishing him a little. Gomeisa apologizes over this, but the car shakes some more as Barrel gets annoyed at how persistent the monsters are chasing after you while spinning the steering wheel hard. You guys eventually drive into a tunnel. Nothing happens much inside, so you reach the other end with no issues. The area on that side looks like a wasteland though, with plants mostly nonexistent and small rocks being the only thing covering the ground.

 

You ask in surprise if this is Southern Kanto and note that it looks completely different. Barrel asks if you guys managed to lose the Kaibutsu that was chasing you, but unfortunately you guys have ended up running into a whole bunch of other ones that surround the car. Barrel says there'd be no end of them if he tried to lose them too, and Gomeisa agrees with him as he suggests getting out to fight them.

 

Akashi asks Gomeisa if he'll be okay fighting since he and Barrel can probably handle things. Gomeisa says he's decided to stand and fight until he can see Procy again, so Akashi drops the concern and says they should all go as he calls Gomeisa and Barrel by name. The two of them nod, though Barrel stops for a second to take note that Akashi is using his name for once. Akashi gets embarrassed as he tries pushing past the subject as he asks you to initiate the transformations. You agree and wish everyone luck, or you tease Akashi for not being honest with his feelings. C gets Akashi to be more embarrassed as he tells you to shut it and focus. Then the episode battle begins as the Kaibutsu roar.

 

Live A Hero Golden Spirit of Dawn Episode 8

Title card shows up immediately, and this chapter is called What It Means to Live in Peace.

 

Things then pick up with someone from Gomeisa's world narrating, talking to the Mother Tree and referring to it/her(?) as the loving mother that grants great blessings. The narrator speaks on behalf of the people or the fruits that live in the Mother Tree's shade and ask for endless blessings. Narration then describes how flower petals are scattered around as the old language is spoken. The men play the drums and the women sing. And as the flower petals fall, dancers dance, offering their prayers to the tree.

 

Gomeisa takes over narration here to say he's one of those dancers. The dancers are the smallest and weakest of his people, those who can't become warriors. Those chosen by warriors are taken by people who come from the sky to journey to the far off stars. Gomeisa says he was taught that it was an honor to be chosen as a warrior, as it meant you were recognized as a great adult.

 

Gomeisa then talks about how his parents, siblings, and friends were all at least twice his size, except he never grew any bigger. Since he wouldn't be chosen to be a warrior, he became a dancer instead. It was the obvious result. His siblings who did become warriors made fun of him for being a runt and a weakling, but Gomeisa was happy to become a dancer. It meant he wouldn't be taken away to another planet, never to return. It meant he could stay with everyone else, living in happiness under the trees.

 

But one day, a few days after a giant Kaibutsu appeared and destroyed the village the people from the sky came to Gomeisa under his parents' guidance saying they were 'taking charge' of him. Looking back, Gomeisa thinks it might be because a lot of the warriors were eaten by the Kaibutsu. He might have been chosen to fill in the gap for lack of any other choice. Even so, Gomeisa felt honored at being chosen to become a warrior when he hadn't been before. After all, warriors were able to bring about a different sort of blessing to the people via the people from the stars. And yet, when he departed from his home planet, Gomeisa cried endlessly. He didn't understand why. He just felt pain and sadness for some reason.

 

Camera then tunes in at Parallel Flight's office as Gomeisa finishes up his story by saving he went to various planets until he finally ended up on Earth. He thought it was a nice place, with the air clear though not to the extent it was at his home world. He says he could feel the breath of the trees and flowers, but things didn't end with him being brought here.

 

When he arrived on Earth, a lot of people looked at him. Cases of money were shown, and Gomeisa was made to try using his power. After that he was told someone was going to take him in as a soldier. The looks started making him uneasy and afraid. The people coming to see him smelled of the battlefield, and some even talked about harming the warriors from his planet. The thought that he was brought to fight them terrified him, so he tried to run, using his ability to put his guards to sleep. Since everything on Earth was smaller for him, it was difficult to hide. He still managed to do so, then ran away. It was then he met Procy.

 

In the flashback, Procy is complaining about having been called to put a stop to a fight between some two bit thugs. What annoys him even more about the situation is that he's seen people from an organization he used to associate with but doesn't want to be connected to anymore. Justice laughs and tells Procy he should stop grumbling, and Procy finishes his sentence about how maintaining public order is a proper hero's job before saying he's tired of hearing that line. Gomeisa sees them and thinks to himself that they don't seem to be with the people who brought him to Earth, but then he gives his presence away, so Procy demands he show himself.

 

When Gomeisa steps out, Justice is surprised and says he doesn't seem to be a villain. Procy tells him that Gomeisa seems to be saying something. Gomeisa attempts to communicate, but unfortunately doesn't actually speak universal common/Japanese/whatever at this point yet. Justice is baffled by this and turns to Procy. Procy is annoyed and says it's not like he understands any better. He doesn't recognize the language at all, but he notes that Gomeisa doesn't look like he's from Earth. But on further thought, he gets the feeling he's seen appearances similar to Gomeisa somewhere before. Gomeisa says something else that they don't understand, and Justice notes that Gomeisa is shaking as he wishes they could understand him.

 

Mobs turn up around this point to try to recapture Gomeisa, and one of them refers to him as scraps. The other mob tries to stop him from doing any more since he's noticed Procy and Justice's presence. Justice caught onto what the mobs called Gomeisa and starts to turn to Procy, but gets confused by his reactions. Procy is nodding to himself about understanding what's going on and having remembered a bunch of things. He then gets pissed as he says the villains are still doing crap like this and cusses them out.

 

Justice attempts to ask Procy for an explanation for why he's so mad, but Procy tells him he'll explain later and says for now they should stop the live show and take Gomeisa somewhere safe. Justice reluctantly protests that they're still in the middle of something but understands the importance of keeping others safe. Procy has stopped giving a flip for the time being as he demands he shut up and help. Justice is briefly surprised before he follows his lead, using his powers to create a bright flash. The villains yell about being blinded, and by the time they can see again the others have escaped. One mob tells the other to tell the boss what happened because Gomeisa still has some value to them despite their calling him leftover trash.

 

The flashback pauses for a moment as Huckle talks about how startling that incident was. He was there too as an Operator when Procy and Justice ignored his commands and left the area. When he saw how serious Procy was being though, he couldn't find it in him to blame him. Huckle then says they went to Procy's shop to hide Gomeisa for the time being back then.

 

Flashback then picks up at that beat, with Procy having explained to Ryekie what the villains were doing with Gomeisa. Ryekie reacts in horror, and Procy says he remembers. He notes that Gomeisa is on the short side, but he does know that those like him were Carried Away on the villains' ships. He also mentions having heard that Gomeisa's people are able to use some sort of strange power. Since it helps in fights, they get sent to shootouts and battles one after another.

 

Ryekie is in dismayed disbelief at Gomeisa being taken away from his peaceful life on a far off planet. Procy points out that Gomeisa's treatment isn't any different from livestock or animals kept for games. Ryekie gets mad and says that's splitting hairs like an ass as he argues that sort of argument shouldn't hold up. Procy says that's what the villains are saying as their excuse, and he vehemently disapproves of it too.

 

Huckle has apparently followed Ryekie and Procy in their bailing out of the villain handling dispatch, and he asks what they'll do with Gomeisa since he'll be found soon enough. The villains should have sent pursuers to look for him by now, and since they know Procy took him it shouldn't take them long to make the connection to come to his shop. He asks Procy if he intends to hand Gomeisa over.

 

Procy walks over silently to Gomeisa, who is cowering in fear. Gomeisa says something as he trembles, and Procy tries to calm him down by saying he won't hurt him like the villains have. Gomeisa reacts in surprise to this, and Procy starts gently patting him on the face telling him he doesn't need to be afraid anymore. Gomeisa is moved by this, and Procy tells Huckle he's going to take him in. Huckle is shocked of course, and Ryekie asks if he's serious and asks what he plans to say to the villains. Procy answers that he isn't going to say anything. He's going to beat them all back by force instead. Flash back then repeats the very beginning of the event story, only this time it shows Procy properly instead of using a silhouette.

 

Gomeisa then picks back up with his story, saying he had a home ever since that day. It's a new place to belong now that he's likely unable to return to his home planet, and the one who gave him that place is the small but reliable looking man. You are quiet for a bit before sympathizing with his backstory, and Gomeisa says he never saw the villains again after that. He did his best to learn Common, and he started working at Procy's bar. He was able to live in peace again, thanks to Procy picking him up.

 

Mokdai talks about understanding now that Gomeisa's awkwardness with the common language is due to him not having heard much of it until then. Akashi gets indignant on Gomeisa's behalf for what happened to him, and Narihito says they must have had a big vested interest in him. The villains getting the upper hand in battle would involve bringing in talented people to their side, so they wouldn't just let go of him. Narihito brings up there's also the idea of differing ethics between planets. While everyone here in the Earth Sphere may find the whole idea unjust, Gomeisa's planet at least doesn't think of it as anything to care much about. You think upon this idea and comment that you could say that about Earth.

 

Narihito agrees that it can happen anywhere, saying that while some outrageous things may be overlooked, the only reason something is considered outrageous is because the person who thinks so has values that say that. That's why no one can stop the villains who are good at taking advantage of that. Mokdai says that's miserable, and Akashi asks why Procy would go so far to save Gomeisa. He'd help too, but the sheltering and having Gomeisa live with him is a lot more than he'd figure he'd put up with. Huckle says he doesn't know either since Procy never talked about it with him. He's sure he has his thoughts though since Procy's life was filled with all sorts of hardships too.

 

Mokdai notices Barrel hasn't said anything in a while and asks where he is. Barrel happens to be crying projectile tears and dripping with snot, and the handkerchief he's using to wipe himself is already waterlogged. You either react with surprise at the amount of crying, wonder if he's easily moved, or say you get how he feels. He apologizes as he says stories like that affect him a lot, and then he blows his nose on his handkerchief. This causes some of the droplets to fly out, which grosses Akashi out as he asks if it's possible for anyone to cry that hard. Mokdai is surprised by that too and says Barrel goes ham with his emotions.

 

Gomeisa laughs as he says Barrel is kind, and Barrel comments that Procy is amazing for all he's done to care for Gomeisa and for having the strength to make sure no other pursuers have come again. Huckle then says it's more correct to say that Gomeisa only saw Procy beating the villains coming for him once. Gomeisa asks Huckle what he means, so Huckle admits that things actually kept going until recently. You either react in surprise and ask what he means, or you say you thought as much. Huckle explains that the pursuers kept attacking like they did that one time, and that he and Ryekie happened to be around for some of those times.

 

Huckle says Procy always drove the villains back no matter how many times it's been. Huckle and Ryekie helped out sometimes, but it's only recently the attacks have dropped off. So that entire time, Procy had been fighting to keep Gomeisa safe. Gomeisa reacts in shock at that since he was never aware of any of this. Huckle says he never told him because Procy would have gotten mad about that if he did. He also brings up the idea that maybe Procy left to make the battles stop once and for all.

 

Mokdai asks Huckle what he means, so Huckle says playing defense repeatedly can get exhausting and adds that Gomeisa hates fighting. Trying to destroy the whole villain organization would be too much even if it were for making sure Gomeisa was safe. In that case, maybe Procy is trying to negotiate something. Procy and the villains know each other, so they ought to have some ability to negotiate some new possibility. Gomeisa is taken aback and seems ready to cry that Procy would do that for him since he hates fighting.

 

Huckle reminds Gomeisa that he's just making a guess about what Procy is doing. He then faces him with a serious expression on his face, and he says he isn't going to deny Gomeisa's dream of everyone living together in peace. If no one had to fight, then that would be better than what's happening now. But so long as society brings together a bunch of people with different viewpoints, conflict is going to happen no matter what, and this is unfortunately unavoidable. But that said, people who are good at fighting can do so to protect the people who hate conflict. They can fight so that more and more people won't need to do so, and Huckle says this is necessary to create peace. Gomeisa thinks on the idea of fighting to create peace, Barrel seems surprised at the idea, and you think aloud on the idea of how contradictory it seems, but there are no better options for now.

 

Huckle apologizes for talking about difficult topics, and Gomeisa eventually says he wants to go after some silence. Huckle is confused by this, so Gomeisa says he hates fighting, but he hates not being able to see Procy even more. His shivering hands ball up as he looks at Huckle, and he declares that he wants to go see him. He'll go, even if it means he has to fight. And he wants to tell Procy 'thank you.' You call out his name and/or say he's gotten determined.

 

Gomeisa says he won't run away from fighting this time since Procy had been fighting for him the whole time and he wants to properly thank him for that. Huckle is briefly surprised but accepts it. Barrel asks Gomeisa to let him help as he suddenly gets up from his seat. He admits he doesn't know what sort of place Point Yh is, but he says he was moved by Gomeisa's will. Because of that, he wants to be there and see Gomeisa get to meet and thank Procy for himself. Gomeisa thanks him and hugs him hard, which embarrasses Barrel. He then thinks about how this means things haven't changed with what he needs to do with Gammei. You either offer to help, shrug and say you're already on board, or ask to be included in the hug. A and B has Gomeisa cheer and thank you too. C also has that, but then extends things a few extra lines where Gomeisa complies and Barrel is confused why having you so close is making him blush. Akashi then taken aback at how this means you've been casually included for the ride.

 

Anyways, Akashi says he'll go too and see this case to the end. Mokdai says he's coming too, and that he wants to help however he can even if he can't turn into a hero. The two of them stand up too, and the Rescue Procy team is formed. Huckle comments on you guys getting ready to go despite not knowing where to actually go, which he says is a part of youth too and a pleasant thing to see.

 

Narihito says you can also call that being a daredevil, since in this situation a single misstep can cost you your life. Huckle points out that goes the same for hero work, which Narihito laughs and concedes to. Narihito then says that you guys would be heroes in a certain sense, and Huckle admits he is worried a bit, but he'd like to acknowledge your spirits. If things get too dangerous then he's going to stand in your guys' way, and he wonders if it's possible to let your resolutions stay alive. Narihito says he has to bow out at this point since his work place is calling him back as there isn't much material here for him to write with. He wishes you guys all the luck in getting Procy back safe and sound. Gomeisa thanks him for all he's done.

 

Some time later, Huckle says you guys need to figure out where it is you'll be going to. He's heard of Point Yh before, but can't remember where, and Barrel suggests going to see Gammei about that. Since Gammei knows about the codes villains use, he should know what Point Yh means. Huckle agrees with the idea, and he says he'll call him since he should be in at this time. Once that's done he suggests going to the police station and hashing out the plans again over there. Everyone else agrees, and the episode ends with Gomeisa hoping Procy will be okay as he swears to find him.
