TSUHIRAMACHI BASE NO. 1

RECEPTION

Ichiro Tsuyuki.

Yes.

Sadao Fujima.

Yes.

Good morning, everyone.

I am Natsume, the Mayor.

Threat from the other side of the river

is closing in on us as usual today.

I forget what kind of threat it is

but the threat is growing bigger every day.

Just do your very best, everyone.

TO TATSUKAWA RIVER

Good morning.

Please begin operations.

How's your section of the river?

Same as usual.

Things are intense upstream.

Where your son is?

Yes.

My son is a brilliant soldier.

I want to do great upstream and be promoted.

Be motivated, then.

If I'm promoted and get a raise, will I be able to marry?

If you get motivated.

You can't see your son often if he's stationed upstream.

Still, it's better than being idle downstream like you people.

Even if the other side of the river attacks, my son will keep us safe.

I see.

So you two get motivated, too.

End operations. Good work.

Ichiro Tsuyuki.

Yes.

Sadao Fujima.

Yes.

Job well done.

Yeah.

The Mayor's son stole our food again.

I see.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

You run too slow.

By the way, an amazing unit is coming to this town.

An amazing unit?

What's so amazing about it?

Something's amazing, I guess.

What is?

Something is.

What is?

Something is.

What is?

Something.

What?

Something.

What?

Something.

I see.

That sounds amazing.

Yeah, it's amazing.

I know everything.

YAMAMORI SOAP

Excuse me, is this the way into the base?

Excuse me, is this the way into the base?

Excuse me, is this the way into the base?

Yes.

But only soldiers can enter.

Excuse me, I start work here today.

Excuse me, I'm Nishina. I start work here today.

Are you a soldier?

No, I'm not.

Thought so.

Only soldiers can enter.

Excuse me, I'm an engineer.

"Engernerr"?

No, an engineer.

"Engernerr"?

What's an "engernerr"?

Engineer.

Is that a soldier?

No, it's not.

Only soldiers can enter.

Excuse me, but I'm supposed to start work here from today.

We haven't been told.

As the threat from the other side of the river

continues to close in on us as of late,

we were informed the other day that a new weapon will be implemented.

I forget what kind of weapon it is,

but a new unit will be stationed along with it.

I forget what kind of unit it is,

but you all don't forget to make preparations.

How's your section?

Same as usual. How's your son?

He's been transferred further upstream.

Further upstream means he'll be promoted soon?

I'm sure he will be.

I envy him.

Be motivated and don't stay downstream for too long.

Only soldiers can enter.

Engineer.

So what's an "engernerr"?

Ichiro Tsuyuki.

Yes.

Sadao Fujima.

Yes.

Excuse me.

I'm Nishina. I start work here today.

Are you a soldier?

No, I'm not.

Thought so. Only soldiers can enter.

Excuse me, but I'm supposed to start work here from today.

We haven't been told.

Job well done.

Yeah.

What's going on?

Simmered food thief.

How terrible.

What's your name?

Sugimoto, sir.

Sugimoto, capture the thief.

Are you my son?

Thought so.

Did you catch the thief?

Could my son become a police officer?

I knew it.

Handle the thief.

Let us go home, then.

Good morning. What's this place?

It's where we fix up and change into uniform.

Are you yesterday's thief?

I'm yesterday's thief.

Have I been conscripted from today?

I am Natsume, the Mayor.

This is my son...

Uh...

Heiichi.

Oh, right.

My son did something splendid

and caught a thief yesterday.

I've made him a police officer as a reward.

Do as my son says starting today

and protect the safety of this town and base.

Good morning.

Please begin operations.

Um...

Yes?

Who are we shooting at?

The other side of the river...

Who?

I don't know.

Just shoot where you're told and you'll be fine.

Really?

About 50 shots in the morning,

and 80 or so in the afternoon and you'll be fine.

What will be fine?

You won't be scolded if you shoot that much.

Will I be scolded if I don't shoot?

You'll be scolded.

Is it unpleasant to be scolded?

Then should I just shoot?

You should just shoot.

Oh? Where's the other one?

Fujima was shot.

Oh! Is he dead?

No. He got shot in the arm.

Oh!

Then he's a "wapperi"?

He won't be promoted anymore.

But my son has never been wounded.

I wonder what he's like?

My son?

- He's a splendid-- - No.

I meant the guy who shot Fujima.

Some guy in Tawaramachi?

Don't say the name of that town out loud.

It's bad luck.

Oh, sorry.

I wonder what the people on the other side are like?

I've heard the people on the other side are barbaric.

That's why my son is fighting.

So you two get motivated, too.

Oh, Tsuyuki.

Yes?

Were you in a band in the past?

What?

A band.

Can you play an instrument?

Yes.

You've been transferred into the marching band starting tomorrow.

What?

You don't want to be in the band?

I didn't mean that.
