Penguin Highway (ペンギン・ハイウェイ)

June 29th. 25 degrees.

I will take notes everyday...

I'm very smart,

and I study very hard.

I'm sure I'll be someone great in the future.

Are onee-San"s breasts and my mother's different?

Unable to reproduce the shape with bowls.

I'm still in the 4th grade, but I already know

onee-San a study of the geometry of breasts

as much as some adults.

Everyday,

I learn about the world.

I become a better person.

Brother, time to eat!

- Eat up. - I ran a calculation today...

I figured out that

it'll be another 3,888 days until I become an adult.

You're not going to eat?

I can't imagine just how amazing I'll be

when that day comes.

I might be too amazing for my own good.

- I'm leaving! - See you later!

Brother, I'm leaving already.

See you later.

I'm sure that lots of girls will want to marry me.

But there's already someone I have in mind.

So the others will just have to live with it.

I feel bad for everyone else,

but this has already been decided.

There's something over there! What is it?

- They're crows, I bet. - No, they're not!

I can't tell from here.

Let's go take a look! Yeah!

Hey, wait! There's like ten of them!

- Hey! - Aoyamal!

Did you hear about the penguins?

So there really were penguins in that field!

- No way. - There totally were.

I've only seen them in the zoo.

Penguins live in Antarctica and the islands nearby.

That's what I read in a book.

They don't live in the suburbs.

Why were those penguins in that field?

Were they even real penguins?

And where did they even come from, anyway?

I need to investigate this incident.

Aoyama.

What do you think about the penguins, aoyama?

I have six different hypotheses on why they've appeared here.

The first is that they escaped from a zoo vehicle.

The second is that they're abandoned pets.

The third is that they're crows that have

undergone a sudden mutation to become fat.

Uchida and I have formed an expedition team.

Project Amazon

right now, we're identifying the source of this river.

We call this research project Amazon.

Let's see if there's any penguins on the way back.

I can't. I'm going to the dentist after school today.

Does tomorrow work?

Sure.

You're all little kids.

Who cares about some penguins?

I've seen tons of them at the zoo.

But they were in a field!

Shut up!

Suzuki is the most arrogant guy in the class.

The males under his control are completely loyal to him.

I don't care about any penguins.

Aoyama, what's so fun about writing all that up?

We don't think that penguins in and of themselves are abnormal.

We think it's strange that penguins

have appeared in the suburbs.

What?

If you saw them,

you'd probably think it was weird, too.

I did see them! What's wrong with you?

Get out of here.

Uchida.

What's with him?

You're not interested at all?

What do you want?

I don't care at all.

The theory of relativity

that book...

Did you read it, aoyama?

Yeah.

I was interested in black holes,

but the book was a bit difficult.

Same here. Pretty difficult stuff.

Hmm? I see.

Penguins are cute.

Penguins are boring.

Hamamoto is extremely smart and good at chess.

She might be even more amazing than I am.

As you can tell, I'm not conceited,

and that makes me great.

I'm out! That's enough!

Hello.

Thank you.

No problem.

Suzuki.

What do you want?

You have that disease, as well? I can tell by looking at you.

What disease?

You don't know? It's called stanislaw's syndrome.

It's a terrifying disease where

all your teeth have to be pulled.

I've never heard of that.

My mom only said I was getting my wisdom teeth out...

A mother wouldn't tell their kid they're

getting all their teeth pulled. Too scary.

Slowly but surely, all your teeth will be pulled.

That's what happened to me.

But I think you have a right

to know what's going to happen to you.

Seriously?

The only way to stop the spread of the

disease is to pull all of your teeth.

If you don't, the bacteria will spread,

and your face will swell up.

These mushroom-looking things will start

growing from the cracks in your teeth.

And after much pain,

you'll die.

Suzuki!

In order to prevent that from happening,

the dentist will put you under,

and slowly remove your teeth.

But it's okay. You'll only be in pain for a month.

Suzuki, please.

Do I have this "Stan" thing?

What?

You don't have to pull my teeth if I brush properly, right?

We're not pulling all of your teeth.

You're lying! You're trying to trick me!

Young man.

Why did you say that to suzuki? Don't you feel bad for him?

I feel bad for uchida.

Who's uchida?

This is not your problem. You don't need to know.

You baby. Guess you learned how to dodge questions.

Silly brat.

This lady is a woman who I've gotten

to know here at the dentist.

Hey there.

Sorry, I'm teaching this kid a lesson.

I might have done something a little immature.

Well, you're still a kid.

Suzuki was being mean to uchida.

But uchida didn't really ask me to get him back.

So, I don't really have the right to

punish suzuki for what he did to uchida.

I should have talked to uchida first,

at the bare minimum.

You've sure got a lot going on.

Oh, look at this.

Penguins are mysterious, aren't they?

Who knows what's going on with them?

Do you know about what happened this morning?

I heard. Even more mysterious, huh?

I love penguins.

All right. I'm going to take this.

This looks a bit like you.

Small, but still full of himself.

Research lab

anhy number of stories.

But how much do you really know about the voyagers?

The adélie penguin.

Scientific name: Pygoscelis adeliae.

This is the path that penguins take

when they come back from the ocean.

The penguin highway...

Penguin highway

Good name.

They really took me by surprise.

I didn't think one of them would come running out.

I couldn't believe it.

Young man, look at the chess board.

I am.

You keep looking at my boobs.

Il am not.

You're not looking. You're looking at something else.

Yes, I am. And no I'm not.

I worry about your future.

They come from the south pole,

but they can somehow survive here.

What if they were being transported

somewhere and escaped?

Wouldn't we have heard something from a

zoo or a pet store? The mystery deepens.

So what have you deduced?

There's still not enough information.

I think aliens brought them here.

Why do you think that?

They're invading. Penguins are cute, you see?

The aliens are counting on that,

and when everyone lets their guard down...

They're going to take over the un headquarters.

I see. Makes sense, logically.
