Revive! The Hotaru Butterflies of Scarlet River
We're going through dimensional tunnel!
Hotaru Butterfly!
Hotaru Butterfly?
This butterfly might sell for good money.
Might do! Butterfly come on, come on here, here there is a sweet water.
I'm going to keep this one as my pet!
Hotaru Butterfly is mentioned in my dad's children's book.
Tanba-san, stop the bus!
Eh? Here?
Hurry, there might be something that leads me to my dad!
Oh, okay then.
Don't go outside though, Kakeru. There is no survivors from those who went into the dimensional tunnel.
Hey!
Kakeru-kun!
Hey, Kakeru!
Kakeru!
Kakeru...
Blink...the ground is moving!
Ah!
Kakeru-kun!
Hotaru Butterflies!
Wait, Blink!
Where are we?
Who are you guys?
We ended up in here by following that butterfly.
So you mean you were collecting insects?
Then I can't give you this butterfly.
No, I'm just looking for my dad. My dad has been kidnapped by Emperor Gross.
Emperor Gross?
Do you know anything about it?
My dad is an author of children's book, named Shiki Haruhiko.
Shiki Haruhiko...
It died...?
This one emerged from a pupa too early, so it wasn't so strong.
Emerge from a pupa...?
It means transform itself from a pupa to a butterfly.
I don't know Shiki Haruhiko, but I do know where Emperor Gross is.
Really?
My name is Kakeru. This is my friend, Blink.
My name is Nana, I used to be an entomologist.
Used to be...?
How tough is she...
This is the magazine that has an article which my dad wrote on Hotaru Butterflies.
Look, that's Emperor Gross' second home,
He is staying there now.
Emperor Gross is there...?
Your dad might be there as well.
Thank you, Nana-san.
Wait!
Not now!
Why? I want to go and rescue my dad as soon as possible!
I want to avenge insects as well!
Avenge insects...?
Right...
This place, the islands on the Scarlet River used to be the heaven for insects.
When I discovered this place, I was so glad that I became an entomologist.
But...Emperor Gross...
When he started coming here, a lot of insects went extinct.
Do you know why?
Because Emperor Gross hates insects.
He killed all the vulnerable insects...
my beloved insects...
Just because he hated them,
he spread pesticide.
How can I forgive him?
You shouldn't.
You understood my situation, then don't do anything to ruin my plan.
But...
I don't want you to take an action, it will cause me trouble.
So how long should I wait for?
I don't know. It depends on the Hotaru Butterflies.
What should we do, Blink?
We can't do anything until we find out what Nana-san is trying to do.
Right...
I wonder how Nana-san is trying to have her revenge.
Maybe she has a good idea.
Ah huh!
Who's there?!
Oh it's you! I thought it was one of Gross' fellows.
You almost got killed.
She is amazing...
See, don't you think I could defeat Emperor Gross?
Hmm, probably.
Then don't spy on me and go back...but I guess that's too late.
Nana-san, what kind of plan do you have? Emperor Gross is more scary than you think he is.
What's your plan after discovering my plan?
If my plan isn't so good, then you're going to make an attack or something?
I understand your feeling, too.
Fine, I'll show you.
Here it is.
Kakeru-kun...
Pupas of butterflies!
They're going to be emerge from pupas soon. That's the end of Emperor Gross.
Kakeru-kun, but how does it to do with the end of Emperor Gross?
The end of...you mean...?!
You got it now?
Please, it's not good to use my dad's book for bad business!
It's to defeat Emperor Gross!
My dad didn't write the story for something dreadful like this!
I'm sure your dad will understand.
Kakeru-kun, explain to me.
Blink, what if everything happens as it says on my dad's story...
What do you mean?
It's happening...!
If this won't happen as Shiki Haruhiko's story, nothing else I can do...
Run away, Blink!
But why?
Something terrible might happen...
Kakeru-kun, nothing is happening.
Get down!
Blink...
It seems to be fine, Kakeru-kun.
Where did they go?
They are heading to Emperor Gross' second home.
There are Hotaru Flowers in his garden which Hotaru Butterflies like.
What?
This is the end of Emperor Gross, this is good for everyone.
Nana-san, you're is wrong! I'm going to stop the butterflies!
I won't let you!
What is this?
Sleeping-draught powder.
I won't let anyone ruin my plan.
Oh, a Hotaru Butterfly that hasn't been transformed yet...
Why others transformed to black butterflies when they're so pretty as they are?
According to my dad's story, when they're gathered in large number, they transformed to vicious butterflies.
Apparently when they're in large group, special hormone releases and they all go vicious.
Emperor Gross is such a hateful guy,
but I don't want to cost these beautiful butterflies.
In your dad's story, did it say anything that could protect the butterflies?
The thing is, the story wasn't finished.
But if it's your dad's story, I'm sure he won't end it without turing the butterflies back!
- Right, think about the ending yourself! - Eh?
The ship is heading to Emperor Gross' island!
I saw a small ship near a bay.
- Okay, let's chase! - Yeah!
What is that!?
A cloud of butterfly!
Don't come any closer!
Kakeru-kun, a whirlpool!
We're going to be caught in a whirlpool!
Blink!
Kakeru-kun, don't go against the stream! You can get out of the whirlpool that way!
But I can't breath!
Watch out, Kakeru-kun! Courage!
Where are we?
Let's just go.
Kill them.
I get a a slight chill when I see insects.
There is no way...I killed all the insects.
Too bad.
You missed one Hotaru Butterfly. I kept on breeding them out of one.
You are...?
I'm just a messenger of the insects you killed.
Oh I see. But can you kill me when you find value even in insects?
Of course.
Let's see, shall we?
It's insecticides! Emperor Gross!
He must be somewhere in this house! I won't let him escape this time!
Nana-san!
Kakeru-kun!
Shiki Kakeru, I'm amazed you found me.
Emperor Gross!
Emperor Gross, give me my dad back!
Sorry to tell you but Shiki Haruhiko isn't here.
What?!
You're quite good. I'm bored of this castle, so I'll give it to you.
Emperor Gross! Wait!
- Blink, let's go! - Sure!
Wait. Leave it to me.
Nana-san, what is that?
That's honeydew from Hotaru Flowers.
We did it!
You think you defeated me? Don't get it twisted.
I...I...
watch out!
There is no way my dad wrote a story about butterflies that are harmful...
Right...
How beautiful!
Kakeru, don't move. Bees sting you when they think you might attach them. If you won't show them hostile reaction, they won't hurt you.
- Make sure you have an attachment to the others. - Okay!
If you won't show them hostile reaction, they won't hurt you...
And make sure you have an attachment to the other...
You did it, Kakeru-kun!
Nana-san, look around!
I'm glad you found out how to turn them back!
I'm such a horrible person...how can I use Hotaru Butterflies to have a revenge for insects...
I can't believe I had a faith in my plan...
Nana-san...
I'm sorry for letting him go after you finally found him.
- That's alright, I'll chase after him again. - You're so nice.
I'll show you how to get back as an apology.
Really?
That's the entrance of the dimensional tunnel.
What about you?
I'll research whether it's possible for Hotaru Butterflies not to turn black even when they're gathered up.
As a way of atonement.
I'm sure you can find it out.
I hope you can rescue your dad, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
He might be around considering the fact that he had his second home here.
Oh true, you might be right!
Take care!
You, too! Goodbye.
Blink, do you think we can get back to the bus safely?
I'll try, hang on tight!
Maybe they departed...
Look!
Ah, the bus! They waited for us!
Tanba-san! Princess Kirara! Nichi-san, Sachi-san!
We came to Indigo Castle to look for
Princess Kirara who has been kidnapped by a black-knight.
As soon as we put on the armor which I found inside of the castle,
we were sent to a mysterious space.
It was the world of medieval knighthood.
Next Episode, Blue Blink 27. "Mystery! The castle of adventures, Indigo" Let’s go on a mysterious trip with us!
