Soon, this flight 210 will arrive on Venus.
Some people may have an allergic reaction to…
…the floating plants used in the terraforming of Venus.
It has a chance of degenerating into Venus-sickness…
…so if symptoms appear, please consult a doctor immediately.
Quiet down, everyone!
Both hands behind your heads! All of you!
I-I'll give you money!
I don't care about the others, let me off…
Anyone who makes a ruckus ends up like him!
Dammit… why did this have to be the day…
You over there!
Hey!
You listening to me?
You! Get up!
All right.
Quietly put both hands behind your head…
Hey! Don't fall asleep!
Who the hell do you think we are?
You!
Whoops, sorry.
That's enough!
Enough of you, Ms. bounty.
WALTZ FOR VENUS
Don't be silly!
This is 5000?
Special price.
That's not written anywhere up there!
But it's not to normal residential quarters.
I'm asking ya for a favor here…
All the way out there to the middle of the desert…
Hey! Don't rip me off here!
W-Wait a minute…
Make sure it gets there! Got that?
Hey, wait!
Thanks for the business.
Hi.
What?
My share.
Here?
I need it now.
That's all you get.
I know that!
Depositing it at the casino again?
It's better than a bank!
She never gives up…
I don't need any more pickpockets.
Amazing… You're really amazing!
You're the one that rounded up the hijackers with some amazing moves, right?
I have a favor to ask.
Can you teach me how to move like that?
Is it judo? Or kung-fu?
Hey, wait a minute.
I want to be strong, like you.
You're an annoying guy…
A no is a no.
Oh, come on. Just a little. Please, master!
Please!
Hey, wait a sec!
What was that guy?
C-Come on, just a little bit. Think of it as helping me.
You got a little bit of mercy in ya, right?
I'm out of that right now.
Come on, please, it's not like you're losing anything.
Quit it already?
Venus has a lot of helium in the atmosphere.
You can fix it quickly with some medicine.
Come on, that's not fair! Man!
You're the one that…
That was just a throat drop.
You!
Oh! Hands-on training?
You're…
I'm Roco Bonnaro. Nice meeting you, master!
Our first income in a while.
I'll feed you something good.
This is all thanks to the mastermind.
And next up…
I'm telling you to not tense up!
But you can't defeat enemies that way.
The flow is more important… not power.
You have to be like the water.
You get it?
Not one bit.
That's what I thought.
All right, come after me with a knife.
You'll get hurt.
Just do it.
All right, here I come!
What's going on?
I'm not tensing up anywhere.
I'm just using your excessive force.
I control the flow of power…
…and to do that, I have to relax the whole body…
…to be able to react to any movement.
Yeah…
I become like water.
Water?
Yeah.
Water can take any form.
It can flow along slowly or beat down aggressively, right?
I dunno if I get it or not…
You should take care of your elders!
Here, hold this!
Tonight… No, tomorrow night.
At the cathedral on the outskirts of this town!
Hey, wait!
There he is! Don't let him get away!
Casino?
The ones around here are famous for being stingy…
Don't worry about it. It's not our money.
On top of it, she takes off like a bullet and we don't know when she gets back.
Hey, no use wasting time. How about making some pocket cash?
Piccaro Calvino.
Usually a stingy little thief, but went in big this time.
Price is doubled if we get the whole crew.
And this is the stolen goods.
It makes the remedy for Venus-sickness, but apparently it's…
…hard to grow them and they're worth tens of millions.
Sorry!
Shit, where did he go?
Shit, he's sure good at running.
I say we take it. I mean, it's worth much more than nabbing that group.
No, we can't!
Hey, you thought for a moment!
Idiot! It's better to not be involved with dangerous stuff like this!
It's okay if they don't find out, right?
So, how much did you lose at the casino?
What?
I'll leave Piccaro up to you. I'm going after Roco.
Why don't you wait? You're gonna see him anyway.
They say that Lady Bounty only has bangs.
You mean Lady Luck.
Remains of a shuttle? Why in such a place?
Dunno…
There might be some weirdos that do live out in the desert, but still…
Don't move!
Both hands up!
I'm nobody suspicious…
That makes me sound even more suspicious, doesn't it?
Who are you? Why are you here?
Answer me!
Let go.
I just came here to see Roco…
You're… Roco's friend?
Huh? Um, no…
I'm glad…
Hey, make sure you wash your hands.
We can't find him, Boss.
H-Hi…
You know, it's all because of those floating plants.
Sometimes they send spores that look like snow.
Most people are fine, but my body isn't… and my eyes…
Isn't it inconvenient?
No. It's not a big deal once you get used to it.
Besides…
Sometimes you understand more when you can't see.
You'll get better, right?
If I put money into it…
I don't mind staying as is… but Roco…
He cares about his little sister.
Roco sent me this yesterday.
Everyone says bad things about him…
And he seems to hang out with some bad people…
But Roco is a good person.
I might be one of those bad people he hangs out with.
Maybe. Maybe you are.
But you're different.
I can tell.
Both you and Roco have something beautiful deep in you.
It's hard to tell, but it's there.
I can see it. That's why I'm offering you tea like this.
Something beautiful, huh?
I probably lost that long, long ago…
I want to see Piccaro. Tell me where he is.
What? I don't know who that is.
Can you remember?
I-I remember now!
What did you just say?
The price of a gray ash seed?
I'm just asking.
Don't be a fool. Those things are like gems.
You're lucky if you ever see one…
Well, it might be difficult to sell them once you get them…
…but I would say 8 million each.
You got some?
No…
Thought not…
How about Piccaro?
Oh, just a little more.
Don't screw up on your end.
So, little Roco.
You can be nice and tell us where the pot is.
If you don't want to tell us…
Sorry. I dropped it.
That ain't gonna work, is it?
My little Roco.
I've heard that you have a little sister.
She has nothing to do with this!
Oh, really? Then where is it?
I-It's…
I want to see Piccaro. Tell me where he is.
H-Hyu don'f haff to be so suhhen…
Huh? Where did you say?
I can'f breef…
Yo.
O-Oh, you're here.
And I brought it, like you told me to.
Sorry, but I snuck a peek inside.
You know what it is?
Grey ash. Something spectacular unlike its name.
I mean, it's 10 times the bounty placed on all of you.
You're a bounty hunter, aren't you?
Are you here to nab me?
Stella needs this, right?
Run, or you'll be killed!
What is this? I was just sent on some wild goose chase!
Jet! Are you listening?
S-Stop, please…
The grey ash is back.
Come on, let him go. I'm asking ya.
Sorry to make you deliver it all the way here.
I give my thanks.
You!
Get rid of him. Quickly!
Piccaro Calvino!
Stay still!
Can't she be a little more elegant?
Don't kill them! Ya trying to kill our bounty?
Bounty hunters? Get that thing back, now!
Roco!
Shit! Idiots!
Really, you've caused me enough trouble.
Come on, hang on! You alive?
Hey!
Master… did you… see that right… now?
Yeah. Don't speak anymore. I'll call a doctor right now.
Hey!
I have… a favor…
In… the music… box…
I know. Leave Stella to me.
I trust you…
All right, hold on. Now, don't die. Don't die!
Hey… if I knew you… earlier…
Would we… have been… friends?
Come in.
Roco?
It's you, Roco?
I'm taking his place.
You'll do. You know what?
Roco got me some grey ash!
And the operation fees!
They told me my eyes will be better!
Isn't it wonderful? What should I do?
I want to see Roco first.
So, tell him to come here right now! To hurry over here!
Did he… get caught?
No…
Then why isn't Roco coming?
He's dead, isn't he?
I see…
Stella.
It's all right… Leave me.
I know.
Roco died because he did something bad, right?
Please, leave me for today…
I…
I never got to see Roco once with my own eyes…
Hey, what was Roco really like?
You know without looking, right?
He was a great guy.
Just like the one you knew…
Aishiteta to nageku niwa… Too much time has passed by…
…amarinimo toki wa sugite shimatta …to lament that we were deeply in love.
Mada kokoro no hokorobi wo… The wind keeps blowing, while my heart…
…iyasenu mama kaze ga fuiteru …cannot heal all the tears in it.
Kawaita hitomi de dareka naite kure Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.
The real folk blues.
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritai dake I only want to know what true sadness is.
Doro no kawa ni tsukatta… Sitting in muddy water…
…jinsei mo waruku wa nai… …isn't such a bad life…
…ichido kiri de owaru nara… …if it ends after the first time…
