Time Bokan 24

Time...

...Bokan!

Which one should I get?

The old-fashioned looks good, too...

Nature Donut Shop

Tokio, we've been summoned.

Wait a sec. I'm picking out donuts...

We got a True History signal.

Hurry up! Right now!

Absolutely right now!

Okay...

Today we got another astonishing,

24th Century

surprising, shocking True History signal, pera!

Cosmo Garage 24

Yep. We've definitely got to track down that True History again today.

I was in the mood for donuts, not True History.

Pico?

Today's True History is Seton's Animal Chronicles.

Seton Animal Chronicles was an anthology of stories

about animals that Ernest Thompson Seton wrote from his own life experiences.

When Seton, who was born in England, was five,

he moved to Canada because of his father's job.

He then spent his childhood growing up in the Canadian wilderness,

surrounded by many animals.

"There is no animal that cannot be tracked."

Seton believed in this, and interacted with many animals.

Seton Animal Chronicles

There Is No Animal That Cannot be Tracked!! by Seton

I read that in grade school, too!

Seton Animal Chronicles

There is No Animal That Cannot be Tracked!! by Seton

There was this story about a wolf king named Lobo,

King of Currumpaw Lobo

who was really strong and intelligent!

I was so moved.

Anyway—

Anyway, all aboard! Let's go, pera!

Please don't let the wolf king Lobo end up being a robot...

Huh? Hey, wait!

Three, two, one...

Today was more intense than usual...

And so, ready and...

Time...

Bokan!

Seton Animal Chronicles Was Actually Donut Chronicles!

Seton Animal Chronicles Was Actually Donut Chronicles!

This is New York, America, in 1898.

But man, I'm hungry.

Sometimes, a punch!

Sometimes, a Thai kick!

Ta-da! You're under arrest.

What?

Well, when you think of New York, you think of police officers.

You seem pretty into this.

All right, Tokio! First, we're going to look for Seton's house.

This sweet smell...

Donuts!

Th-The cops over there, too!

There must be a donut shop just around that corner!

H-Hey! Tokio, wait...

Or you're under arrest!

They look so good!

H-Huh? Why are there so many cops around?

Allow me to explain! Why are there so many cops at the donut shop?

That's because donut shops are open early in the morning and late at night.

At this time, there weren't any shops that were open for 24 hours,

so there weren't any other places for cops to eat when working late at night.

So it's sort of like the convenience stores now.

Also! Eventually, a certain donut shop offered coffee and donuts free

Donuts

Free Donuts for Police Officers in Uniform and Patrol Cars!!

to police officers in uniform and in their patrol car,

strengthening that image further.

If police officers regularly came to the shops,

criminals wouldn't come near the shops,

and they would always be safe.

See? I told you police officers and New York were connected.

I was right to dress up like this.

Pardon me! Could I get some donuts?

Oh, me, too!

Are you going to Donut Fest?

Of course. You're going, too, right?

America's the land of the free.

I wonder how many people from other countries have realized...

The endless space that continues beyond this donut hole...

Now, let me behold

yet another new donut hole.

So good!

Getting free donuts just by dressing like this is super lucky.

Pardon me. I'd like one donut, please.

I don't even care about calories anymore. I'm going to eat a bunch!

Whoa! It's huge!

First, I will gaze at the shop through the donut hole.

After enjoying the shop's atmosphere...

It appears to be the orthodox fried donut.

There are no words for the shimmering sugar.

I'm sure it would top even the Japanese food "kohada."

O God of Donuts, I thank thee for this new encounter.

This texture...

This is a blend of whole wheat flour.

Lobo, would you like some, too?

Lobo?

Oh, you dropped this.

Seton Donut Chronicles

Seton Donut Chronicles?

"Seton"? Could he be...

That's a True History signal.

Huh?

True History Signal

Which means the True History this time isn't Seton Animal Chronicles,

but Seton Donut Chronicles.

What?!

Shh. Quiet.

Seton Animal Chronicles and Seton Donut Chronicles. Oh, I get it.

Just one word is different.

Wait! We've got to stop this stupid True History at all costs!

These donuts are amazing.

Donut, nao.

Hey, you two!

Here, have one, Bimajo-sama.

Huh? One for me, too?

Okay...

So good!

I guess you can't help yourself when it comes to sweets, Bimajo-sama.

I apologize for earlier.

I usually investigate in secret to find out the usual taste of their donuts,

as well as how the shop usually looks.

My name is Seton, and this is my partner, Lobo.

So you're the wolf king, Lobo. There, there.

Thank goodness you're not a robot.

But why did you start your donut chronicles, Seton-san?

The hole.

The hole?

I was charmed by the holes in donuts.

What do you two see beyond the holes in donuts?

What do we see?

The scenery on the other side?

The possibilities are endless.

The giant world that lies beyond the donut hole

is space itself.

I see...

He doesn't use all-purpose flour, but an original blend of cake flour and bread flour.

That's right... Wait, what do you think you're doing?

Let's go, Lobo.

An old-fashioned using unbleached flour...

This with coffee is the best combination.

Pardon me. May I get some coffee?

What? Are you trying to say you can't eat my donuts without coffee?

Get out of here!

This only happens because the owner loves donuts so much.

Viva donuts!

Must be hard finding out all about donuts...

Yeah.

But! I still want to chronicle all of my favorite donuts in a single book.

There is no donut that I, Seton, cannot track!

Wait, that means "There is no animal that cannot be tracked"

Seton Animal Chronicles

There is No Animal That Cannot Be Tracked!! By Seton

There is No Donut That Cannot Be Tracked!! By Seton

was actually "There is no donut that cannot be tracked"!

But there is one shop that I have not been able to investigate...

Mrs. Donuts!

Mrs. Donuts?

That's useful information.

I must report that to Bimajo-sama immediately.

I see. So this is the shop that Seton wants to investigate.

Mrs. Donut, nao.

And I'm telling you, we're not going to do that!

Listen up. Donut Fest is a huge festival that represents New York.

There'll be problems if you don't participate. Got it?

Pardon the intrusion.

What do you want? I'm not taking any interviews.

Oh, come on. We're not here for that.

We're just pure donut lovers who love donuts more than anything else.

I see. Sorry about that.

Who was the guy who just left?

The president of the New York Donut Association.

He's been nagging me to make donuts for the upcoming New York festival.

Oh? Well, isn't that a good thing?

It's a chance for your donuts to become famous.

That's not what I want!

I originally started this because

I wanted to make my wife, who I love so much, delicious donuts.

Even after my wife died, my feelings haven't changed.

Squee!

What a wonderful story!

Hey, Bimajo-sama. Don't forget why we're here.

I... I know that!

All right, you two! Do it!

Roger dodger!

Wh-What are you doing?

Are you donut robbers?

I told you earlier, didn't I? We're just pure donut lovers.

Hey, pops. We're here to buy some donuts.

Hey, cop! These guys are donut robbers!

What?!

Freeze!

Why are there even more cops now?

Wow... This definitely feels like New York.
