If I had one more chance, I’d risk my life to protect you.
Everyone thinks I’m a traitor.
So from now on, there will be no Mastiff Man.
The other three finalists,must be prodigies.
I…don’t think I can win nationals.
That means you need to work harder than ever before.
You’re being too *** yourself!
Don’t think about it too much.
You know,
for someone who’s quite passionate about classical music,
you sure stress about it
as if you’re being forced to play the piano!
Look at me,
all I wanted to do back then was
make a suit you could wear for the regionals.
But soon enough, I fell in love with fashion design,
and creating stylish outfits.
Looking back, all that effort was definitely worth it.
It became my calling!
In fact,
so many people lose sight of their dreams
after they face a difficult obstacle.
And I’m afraid, that you’ll suddenly give up.
That actually makes sense. Good job! Teacher Teresa.
That’s not funny!
Just kidding, Teresa. I’m sure this will all work out.
Isn’t that right? Eh? It’s getting late.
I should take you home.
Do your best. I will always support you, Eric.
But Mikey, I can’t move…!
Get up, c’mon!
People can change, monsters won’t.
You cannot trust anything that Ivan says,
same with the others.
You leave me alone!
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Such a pity.
Everyone has abandoned you. How can you survive?
And even if you do, Hmph.
you’ll have to endure a cold, lonely life.
In the end, you will suffer.
You don’t know anything!
If that guy truly didn’t mean to abandon you,
then why hasn’t he come looking for you?
I don’t need anyone’s help!
I pity those who willingly lie to themselves! However…
What is it?
You’ll have to listen to me,
if you really want to hear about the rest.
Just think,
you can finally take your revenge and after that,
live like a god!
If you really think so, then all I’ll say is, you’re foolish.
Then you’re no better than a worm!
Suffering, doesn’t suit the likes of someone like you, Nina.
You are a fearsome monster.
You are the one who causes pain!
How about it? I can help you out.
Help me? How so? Have you rebuilt the Shadow Realm?
I’ve assembled a team who can help.
All you have to do is agree to my conditions,
and our deal becomes final.
Conditions?
You must, say that you truly love, to see suffering!
Are you kidding me?
Tch. You may think that I’m joking,
but would you rather be the one who always suffers?
I’m sure you’d rather, spread misery to others!
It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity!
I want to see the world burn right before my very eyes!
Perfect!
My lady, you have arrived.
A lady? You’re quite the charmer.
Over there, shoot it!
That’s great, Paul. Again.
Try the next one! You can do it, Paul!
Shoot that one!
Are you hungry?
Get something to eat then. And get a job.
It’s better than stealing.
I’m sorry. Thank you.
Hey, that was great you stopped that thief earlier!
I was so impressed, Jimmy!
My mom always says people like you
are what makes this city so great!
You don’t really see that often.
That thief might’ve stolen something
if Jimmy wasn’t there to catch him.
Yeah, exactly, you’re like a superhero!
That’s what I’m saying!
I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
If he had some food, he wouldn’t steal anything.
But the guy was starving,
and I could tell that he was pretty desperate.
That’s why, I helped him out,
before things got real ugly, fast.
Hey, let’s play over there! Paul, come on!
Hey, let's sit down for a minute.
Jimmy, I need your opinion on something important.
What’s the matter? You can tell me.
I’m worried about Eric lately.
When he’s practicing,
I feel like he doesn’t enjoy it anymore.
But he just won’t tell me, the reason why he’s stressed.
He’s a person, who doesn’t show his problems
to other people.
But I care about him. I just,
don’t wanna see him sad.
Then just ask him! It’s easy.
As a friend, honesty,
is the only way to gain his complete trust.
Friends don’t lie to each other.
Honesty?
That’s right.
Besides, it’s a lot better than simply wondering why.
It’ll at least get rid of the awkward feeling you have.
When friends tell you the truth, you become fond of them.
And when Eric asks for your help, then do so.
But if he refuses help,
he’ll still appreciate your own effort.
I understand.
I just want Eric to win the competition.
To be by his side, when he feels lonely. Because…
Because…?
It’s nothing. Don’t worry. We should get going.
In any case,
I’m sure everything that’s happened is for the best.
Wait a minute, that sounds familiar.
Hey, this is the guy I was talking about!
The organizers said his name’s Eric Li.
Either way, this is still his territory.
Why’d they even pick this place to be the host city?
It’s cramping my style. Hey you, hot shot,
don’t pretend that we’re not here.
Shouldn’t you introduce your guests, to your hometown?
You must be Yin. And you must be Zane.
It’s nice to meet you.
You’re all welcome here.
I’m sure you’re both exhausted from the long trip.
If you’re free, you can have dumplings at my place.
I guarantee the two of you that
it’s the best dumpling house in the city.
Dumplings? But I thought McDumpling was the best?
That’s nonsense.
Without a doubt,
everyone knows Dumpling Queen serves the best ones,
and they’re fresh too!
You’re both wrong.
You’re missing out on great food
if you’ve never tasted a Happy Dumpling.
Hey there Eric. It’s been a while.
I haven’t congratulated you at all
for winning the regional competition.
I didn’t know, we’ll finally be facing each other so soon.
So you’re rivals? Don’t forget about us just yet.
We could win this.
If you honestly believe, that we’re easy pickings,
then you’ve made a grave mistake.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not…underestimating you.
However, don’t take it so seriously.
If you’re done, then let’s have lunch.
We waste more time bickering,
the longer that we stay here.
Here you go~!
Try these fresh beef and onion dumplings.
Don’t be too shy!
Are there actual onions here?
It’s so… crispy and sweet! It’s quite delicious!
Heh, I haven’t had dumplings this good in my entire life!
The beef used is top notch,
and the sauce complements it well.
The flavor seeps into the meat. It’s pretty good!
Hey, Mrs. Bell,
would you be interested in setting up shop in the South?
Maybe!
I’m really impressed!
But it’s a shame that
we don’t have good music to go along with the delicious meal.
Hey, how about, we play the piano! One by one.
Alright, we’ll draw lots.
My turn!
I made a few sandwiches!
Raise your hand, if you want one!
If none of you can even trust me right now.
We don’t stand a chance against the monsters.
We don’t have to see eye to eye,
in order to fight, against our enemies.
Would you just listen to me, Sam!?
I didn’t say anything. You should calm down.
Well, I don’t trust you at all.
That’s good. Because that means I can just leave.
So Mike, nice knowing you.
Ivan!
We interrupt this program for an update.
Eyewitnesses say, a new monster has appeared
south of Fifteenth Street.
Mike, let’s move out!
Call the Dragon Man.
Alright, I’ll contact Eric.
Eric has been replaced.
Wait, what?
Showtime.
It’s no wonder why everyone calls you my toughest rival.
Dragon Man Form!
Not bad. What do you think, Tommy?
H_He’s good. He can fight well.
His form is decent.
What’s important is, he doesn’t hesitate.
It’s important if you want to be an Armor Hero.
If we’re always stalling,
then we’ll never finish the mission.
The energy level has increased!
That’s odd. The monster’s only defending itself.
It’s up to something. Sam, open the local map.
Got it.
Wait a minute. Every six months,
the tides temporarily increase via gravity.
If it tries poisoning the local water supply,
the entire population is in danger.
That means, we have to contact George.
I’m on it.
The plan has been executed promptly and successfully.
It is time to release your poison into the water!
Let the toxins contaminate the ocean.
It will provide me with amusement!
