Urasekai Picnic (Otherside Picnic)

Wh-What's with the serious faces, you two?

I've got a bad feeling about this.

But go ahead. Tell me what you want.

Kozakura, we need your help!

Y-You guys can go to the Otherside all you want. Just leave me out--

Yeah.

We know.

We're here to launch a rescue operation for the U.S. forces at Kisaragi Station.

A rescue operation?

School never taught me what friends are

People are such difficult creatures

This world where you never know what's said behind your back

Looks a little ugly to me

Compassion and ego sway on the scales

They've swayed ever since I met you

Your trespassing did a number on me

It's not like anyone would do

Is your empathy and complicity just an act?

"Kisaragi" "Katasu - Yami"

Is your empathy and complicity just an act?

Is your empathy and complicity just an act?

Like a fish out of water

Delicacy and literacy

Might not be necessary

I just want to be wanted

Selfish little me

The scales have tipped

As friends

Let's meet in a secret place

Our map of the Otherside

is actually useful now, thanks to you, Kozakura.

So you're serious about this?

We are. And I don't want to go at night again.

If we're gonna try, lunchtime is our only chance.

You're dealing with foreign soldiers.

Even if you rescue them, you may end up in more trouble than you bargained for.

We can't just abandon them.

I can't get them out of my mind.

Yeah, I get it, but how?

There's no guarantee you'll reach their camp.

We ended up on the Otherside after visiting this café.

Maybe we can get there from here.

So you only went to the Otherside once from here?

That's right. And here's why.

It was this hat.

You can't know that for sure.

The issue might be with the entrance or exit, or even this place itself.

If that were true, wouldn't all the customers disappear?

Hmph. Maybe it's you guys.

You've been to Otherside so many times, maybe entrances readily gravitate to you.

You'll have to leave us here if we want to find out.

Once you're gone, we'll put on the hat and step outside.

If you remain in this world,

and Toriko and I end up on the Otherside,

then I believe it's the hat.

Is that why you brought me here?

N-No! You were the one who said you wanted to join us.

Whatever. If you can get to the Otherside that way,

I'll pay whatever you want for that hat...

...assuming you make it back alive.

I'll stop by Junkudo on the way home.

Call me if it doesn't work.

Do you think she wanted to head back with us?

-She's afraid of going back alone?

--Thank you! --She's afraid of going back alone?

I'd understand if it was dark, but it's 1:00 in the afternoon.

Maybe she's not afraid, just a little uneasy all alone.

Well, shall we? You ready?

Ready.

What are you doing?

I'm not used to seeing you like that.

It was cute in its own way, not unlike a safari guide.

Just stop, already.

If we were trying to do it the same way as last time, shouldn't I have put it on?

Who knows whether the one who puts the hat on might come to harm?

You wore it once. Now it's my turn. After that, we won't ever use it again.

Last time, how long did it take before we noticed a change?

I put the hat on soon after we got to the café.

Then we drank for three hours or so.

Still no change.

Yeah.

Maybe it didn't work this time. Sorry.

No.

It looks like it did.

Huh?

Maybe we really should have brought the AP-1.

That thing would've been useless in a battle.

How about with a mechanical arm?

That wouldn't help.

I was thinking.

Will they even see this white flag? Wouldn't yellow or orange be better?

A yellow flag doesn't have the same meaning.

I don't think the color really matters.

I doubt they'll suddenly start shooting, but just in case.

They suddenly started shooting.

Jeez! We almost got killed!

How rude! We're here to rescue them!

They're probably wondering whether we're even human.

SOS?

It's the only Morse code I know. I wish Mom had taught me more.

You two again?

Nice to see you.

Sorry it took so long, but we're here to rescue you.

You're still alive? Where were you the past few days?

A few days?

Maybe time doesn't go by at the same rate between worlds.

Listen.

I want you to know that despite my eye, I'm not a monster.

Same with Toriko.

I know.

Our comrades who went insane became extremely violent.

So what was that about rescuing us?

Over there!

My right eye can spot glitches.

I believe you call them bear traps.

Um, where's Greg?

He's... dead.

He thought you'd been run over and killed by the Meat Train,

so he blew up part of the track, taking out one of the train cars.

But in the ensuing battle with the apes that came rushing out...

Don't let it weigh on you.

He was already at the point where he couldn't take anymore.

How was he able to destroy an Otherside entity?

You know, like how gunshots won't hit home unless I'm watching with my right eye?

Does going insane bring people closer to the entities of this world?

So then no more trains will be arriving.

No, they're still coming.

Major!

What are you two...?!

The girls are back to rescue us.

Huh?

The girls?

We can have all this?

Yeah. We can't take most of it with us anyway.

I see. So next time, we can come here and...

What's that?

Whoa.

Oh, these?

The one with the big arm on the front is the Gorgon.

It's based on the Buffalo mine-protected clearance vehicle.

The armored bus behind it is the Owlbear.

It's based on the RG-33L mine-resistant vehicle.
