:17:01
Even veteran transforming tanuki
have to carry ``energy boosters''...
:17:06
...to replenish
their strength in an emergency.
:17:10
Or else, they start losing human shape
or revert completely to tanuki form.
:17:16
Recently, they started using
the humans' booster drinks...
:17:20
...because they're fast-acting.
:17:24
The final part of the field test...
:17:27
...required each tanuki earn 1,000 yen
on their own using peaceful means.
:17:34
Help me...!
:17:36
Some tanuki decided to work
in teams and mimic a single human.
:17:39
You okay?
:17:40
One tanuki disguised himself as a priest
asking for donations at the train station.
:17:44
Another worked at a snack bar but
spent more than she earned on drinks.
:17:49
Then there was the tanuki who hit
the jackpot at the pachinko parlor.
:17:53
One lazy tanuki stole donation money,
but couldn't get enough.
:17:58
So he transformed leaves into money
but Old Fireball quickly saw through it.
:18:04
I told you that it's illegal to
counterfeit money in this modern world.
:18:16
While practicing at HQ, Gonta was told
to quickly return to Takaga Forest.
:18:21
He was shocked at what he saw.
:18:24
More than half of his home forest
had been turned into ``Faceless Hill.''
:18:32
Gonta was enraged.
:18:34
He immediately returned
to headquarters...
:18:35
...and forced Abbot Tsurugame
to call a clan chiefs meeting.
:18:39
At the meeting, he proposed
a plan to eject the humans.
:18:43
I am absolutely opposed to this!
:18:45
Why?!
:18:46
It's too soon. We're only on
the first year of our 5-year plan.
:18:50
We've passed the final.
We can do most of what is required.
:18:54
Well, Fireball? Do you think it's wise
to let them do what they want?
