Horohoro's story, Act 2
Page 67:
Horohoro: What I want to tell you is that you should go to a place where humans won't bother you.
Horohoro: I know it's not easy. The only thing we can do is to put some distance between us and men.
Horohoro: Do you understand?
Horohoro: Otherwise, something will happen to you and the young girl.

Apollo: Grr...
Horohoro: Hmm... this is bad. He doesn't understand.
Episode 93
Horohoro's story, Act 2
Page 70:
Bluebell: How do you want him to understand!?
Horohoro: Gya!
Bluebell: What's going through your head, you idiot!? Do you really want to die!?
Page 71:
Horohoro: No. I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk to Apollo. Please, Bluebell. Leave us alone.
Bluebell: Talk!?
Bluebell: What is this stupid joke and this get-up!? You have to get out of here!
Horohoro: I have nothing against you.
Horohoro: I didn't tell you but I also have reasons to talk with Apollo.
Page 72:
Horohoro: Bears in my region are considered gods.
Bluebell: What?
Horohoro: Not just bears. Water, fire, the sun, the moon, the whale... Everything that surrounds human beings is a considered a god.
Horohoro: When a god provides food and clothing, or a home or a favor, the man has to put himself under a test. The man has offered his gratitude and his prayers to God. This way they can live in harmony with another.
Page 73:
Horohoro: To clarify, men and God, or nature if you prefer, have to work together to live. That is how a harmony is born.
Bluebell: ...?
Horohoro: Our tribe practices communion with nature.
Horohoro: I....
Horohoro: I'm the one who prays to God for man. I come from a shaman family.
Page 74:
Bluebell: A shaman? Like the American Indians?
Horohoro: Yes, in a way. That's why I seem to understand.
Horohoro: Those who destroy the environment, those who forget to thank nature. I understand the rancor we can have against them.
Bluebell: Horohoro...
Horohoro: Gwargh!
Bluebell: But that's not going to give you the talent to talk to a bear!
Page 75:
Horohoro: Wow. That hit was rather powerful. The outfit that Pirika made me is ruined.
Bluebell: ...!
Horohoro: But things have only just begun. So Apollo? Is that all?
Horohoro: Come on. The place where you have to go is in your soul.
Apollo: Grr....
Page 76:
Horohoro: Geh!
Apollo: Grr...
Page 77:
Bluebell: Horohoro!
Horohoro: Bluebell! Leave us alone!
Bluebell: That's enough! You're going to get yourself killed!
Horohoro: If you stopped shouting, Apollo wouldn't be so scared!
Bluebell: ...!
Horohoro: Seriously, that's why you're so annoying.
Horohoro: If you really want to save Apollo, try to understand him. Do you still not understand why Apollo has become so violent?
Page 78:
Horohoro: It's because of the human scent you put on him. Because of that, he can't go back amongst his own, nor can he be part of the human world. He's excluded from the circle of nature.
Bluebell: But...
Bluebell: Me...? Apollo...
Horohoro: It's not just the hunters' faults. Man can destroy a chain of nature without even meaning it. A wound and an odor left behind my humans doesn't erase itself easily.
Horohoro: My wound is nothing.
Page 79:
Horohoro: Next to Apollo's suffering, it's nothing.
Bluebell: ....
Bluebell: I beg of you. Horohoro, stop.
Bluebell: It's not an excuse for you to suffer. If ever you got yourself killed, I would be forced to...
Horohoro: Don't worry about that. I'm here out of my own free will. I lost my friends, Kororo left me. Everything is my fault. I had simply forgot my duty to God.
Horohoro: I'm not going to die.
Page 80:
Horohoro: I have to call my soul from within me. And build a huge fuki field that no one will be able to hurt.
Bluebell: Horohoro....
Page 81:
Horohoro: So. Apollo, are you ready for what's next?
Page 82:
[Bear licking Horohoro]
Page 83:
Bluebell: Apollo is licking Horohoro's wounds.
Horohoro: Animals don't like hurting humans for nothing. It seems that he has also rediscovered his soul.
[Bottle: Japanese sake]
Horohoro: Hehe. They say sake is really good for disinfecting wounds.
Horohoro: Drink a bit. A cup of friendship.
Page 84:
Horohoro: Aah?
Page 85:
Voices: Yeah!
Hunter 1: Yes! We did it!
Hunter 2: That one is nice!
Hunter 1: Hey, wait!
Hunter 2: There are people over there! This is bad! One of them is a park ranger!
