Ang unang 200 linya.
Look out!
It's the monster Shukra!
Is the monster Shukra see-through?
No, I just haven't finished its design yet.
Fool. Don't bring me unfinished work.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, what sort of monster is this?
- A homework monster. - Homework?
It's what you were saying.
You said to visualize what kids hate most as a monster.
And so it's Shukra.
It's too simple!
Kids these days are more sophisticated than that.
So the telepathic power of these kids who hate homework streams far out into space...
...and forms a monster there.
How is that?
It stinks!
That's too bad.
After all the trouble we went through to get an introduction too.
Where shall we try next?
Now, wait. Take it easy.
I want to take a break for a while.
You don't have that luxury.
We have to keep going until we sell some ideas.
Here's the next place.
The construction committee for Children's Land.
You've heard of it, right?
The ones building the Godzilla Tower?
That's right.
Well, what is this? Am I supposed to start shoveling dirt?
Stop complaining and just go.
What's that look for?
You Mamagon.
What's that? Would you say that again?
Oh, no, I won't.
Not with you being a black belt in karate.
"World Children's Land Construction Site"
What do you think?
It's quite impressive, isn't it?
And the Godzilla Tower.
A good idea. Very good, in fact.
In the tower will be an exhibit on past, present and future monsters.
The elevator takes you to Godzilla's head, the observation tower.
It will stand 50 meters tall.
It will have lights for aircraft...
...and a space observatory as our contribution to the community.
A playground for the kids...
...a library, a cafeteria. We have more than enough space.
This is a place...
...where children will learn about the notion of peace.
Peace. Do you understand?
It's already pretty peaceful.
No, it's not.
Feigned peace will easily fall apart.
I'm talking about absolute peace.
That's the only thing that will save the world.
Monsters and peace.
It doesn't seem to make sense.
It does.
Children will learn about absolute peace here.
By the way, what work am I supposed to do?
I want to make this place even better than it is.
Do you have any ideas?
Any suggestions?
I don't think you've got enough monsters for the kids to play with.
You need more, like Shukra and Mamagon.
Shukra? Mamagon?
The homework monster and the monster of strict mothers.
Not very peaceful, I guess.
No, I like it.
Please bring me some designs as soon as possible.
And if you're displaying monsters from around the world...
...what about the monsters on Monster Island?
Of course we have considered them.
But those monsters are hardly peaceful.
Even Godzilla.
So once Children's Land is completed...
...we'll destroy Monster Island.
Destroy it?
That's right.
We intend to wipe out Monster Island ourselves.
Shukra, the dreaded monster of homework...
...and Mamagon, the monster of strict mothers.
Come in.
Congratulations. You managed to get the job.
The director is very happy with you.
Director?
Oh, that guy. I don't like him.
You can't afford to be fussy about where you work.
I guess. Aren't there any other jobs?
Gengo, you're not in a position to be choosy.
But they're too stiff.
They like you and they pay you well.
What is it that you don't like?
The peace.
Peace?
Absolute peace is what they say.
It's a very nice ideal.
Hey, what's all this?
Stuff they want first thing tomorrow.
But what is it?
Shukra and Mamagon.
Mamagon?
Is there a certain resemblance here?
You cheeky pig!
World Children's Land Committee Office.
Fifth floor.
Hey, wait! You dropped something!
What are you doing here? Where'd she go?
- Who? - The girl, of course.
What do you want her for?
Which way did she go?
Hello?
Hurry up and come in here.
In where?
To your right.
Just go straight in.
Come here.
And who are you?
My name's Gengo Odaka.
So you're the man the office director told me about.
And you are...?
The chairman.
Huh?
Is something wrong?
Well, I am a bit surprised.
Well, I don't see why you should be.
What's that?
The Nebula M space-hunter orbit.
- Is that strange? - Not really, but...
Chairman, I'm sorry.
So she got away.
We will find her.
If we don't get that Action 2 tape back, we'll have to considerably alter our plans.
What's this Action 2 tape you're talking about?
It's a tape on which our whole plan is based.
And the girl? Industrial spy, eh?
No, she's much worse than that.
An enemy of peace.
- Enemy of peace? - That's right.
We're working very hard to bring absolute peace to the entire world.
Please, give the tape back to me.
The tape?
I know you picked it up!
But it isn't yours, is it?
Now get it back from him.
- It's not here. - What?
What have you done with it?
Where is it?
Answer me!
Oh, gosh, I think he's fainted.
He must have thought it was a gun.
Now, just hold on a minute. Just a minute. We're not bandits.
But your pistol?
Pistol?
You mean this?
I'm sorry. I should have explained everything first.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah, that's right.
- My name's Shosaku Takasugi. - I'm Machiko Shima.
- How do you do? - How do you do?
This is the first time I've heard of bandits introducing themselves.
- I told you, we're not bandits. - Or enemies of the peace.
Those Children's Land people are the enemies of peace, not us.
Children's Land? Is that so?
Well, tell me your story.
My brother is a computer technician, and he was working at Children's Land.
- At Children's Land? - Yes.
But he hasn't been home for the last three days.
So I went to Children's Land...
...and they said his absence without notice is in violation of his contract.
My brother had been acting very strange.
I thought he was just tired from working too hard.
- But then I read his diary. - What did it say?
"It's horrible."
"Children's Land is an enemy of peace."
"And the two mysterious tapes..."
So that tape is one of those tapes.
That's right.
They must have found out her brother realized what those tapes were and locked him up.
But where?
We're trying to find out.
- In any case, where is that tape? - I don't have it.
Yeah. It's in a pay locker at the train station.
Just put it there.
Shima... No sabotage, you hear?
What a thing to say after you've been illegally detaining me.
It's not detention. We're just having you work some overtime.
It's illegal detention!
Our timetable has changed and we must work faster.
There'll come a time when you'll thank us for this.
- Thank you? - That's right.
There is no equipment like this anywhere else in the world.
Once you're done with your work here...
...you'll be the world's foremost authority on electronics.
Chairman!
Listen!
Someone's playing the Action 2 tape.
- What? - That's bad.
Who the hell are you people?!
What is this?
