Giovanni's Island Page #3

will be coming to the island. We must vacate

this classroom. Are the Russkie kids

gonna study Japanese? Or are we gonna have

to learn Russian? What's that? - It's electricity!

- Wow! The island's getting electricity? Fly! Junpei, look at it go! Awesome! Fly all the way to the sky! Who's she? Excuse me, who are you?

What brings you to our house? That book! That's Dad's book! Give it back!

Give back our book! Hey! Open the door!

Open the door! Open the door! - Kanta, stop!

- Open up! Hey! Over here! The Russkies claimed the main house.

Starting today, we're living here. Thanks for having us, Hana! No way! Why us?! Why is this

happening to us?! Try some of your uncle's

special burnt rice. It's good stuff! - We'll run out of rice soon, though.

- Where's Mitchan? She fled the island with the rest

of the workers. - I hope she's okay.

- Oh. - Mitchan's not coming back?

- I guess not. I brought you something amazing.

This is round two! Pretty cool, huh? Amazing, huh?

And you have Uncle Hideo to thank. For round three, we'll make

it move with batteries! - Really?

- Oh, wow! Thanks, Uncle! Actually, Junpei, I have

a favour to ask you. At 1 0pm tomorrow, can you make sure

there's no Russkie boats around? If there aren't, can you light a

bonfire at the top of the cape? Don't let the Russkies

find out what you're doing. I can't do that! Sure you can.

You're a man, aren't you? But I... We'll run out of rice if we don't do

something. We'll starve, you know? Look! This was left behind by

the Takashimas when they fled. It's like they're asking us to

put it to good use, don't you think? Better to use the proceeds to buy rice

than let the Russkies have it, right? No one will miss it, right? This will let our own

family survive. Here! Special treat! I'm home. Look at you, the war is over,

but you're busier than ever! I bid you good day, young men! Toil hard

with grand ambitions in your hearts! I'm counting on you! Later! "Tickets, please." "Thank you, sir." - "Here!"

- "Thank you, sir." "Is... this all right?" "Did you bring this from

the third dimension, sir?" "I'm not really sure." "Your ticket is in order. We will

arrive at the Southern Cross at around the third

hour tomorrow." "Wow, would you look at this! You could even go to the

real Heaven with this ticket! And not just Heaven! This is

a free pass to go anywhere! With this ticket, I bet you

could go wherever you wanted aboard this imperfect, imaginary,

fourth dimensional galactic railroad. You're one lucky fella!" I was dreaming? Dad? Oh, no! - Junpei!

- Ow! What are you doing

out here? Don't sneak up on me like that!
