Episode 5

## Uncle Den-Den and Magmell

**Uncle Den-Den and Magmell** (田伝おやじとマグメル, *Denden Oyaji to Magumeru*) is the fifth episode of the Ultramarine Magmell anime.

## Synopsis

Tired of losing money to Inyo's hard-bargaining antics, store owner Denden closes up shop and leaves for Magmell in hopes of striking it rich.

## Summary

Denden is half-buried in the ground and recalls how many idiots had lost their lives going to Magmell. A large turtle monster approaches him from behind and being sure he will die, he wets his pants. He then has a flashback revealing how he ended up in his current situation in the first place.

Earlier, Denden is in his shop and looks at articles about people making it rich by going to Magmell. Inyo and Zero come to his store and pretend that Zero is Inyo's daughter. Zero looks at some expensive food and Inyo comments that few times a year, the owner likes to give Inyo big discounts.

Denden recalls how he was forced to give discounts in the past as Inyo stepped on poop, activated a grenade, almost got hit by a box and more, just to get a discount. But this time, Denden was prepared and had cleaned and secured everything, and even placed high-tech cameras and sensors. Inyo goes to the counter with a basket of grenades and Denden calculates its 60,000 sec.

But to Denden's surprise, Inyo gives him his credit card and explains there is no need for a discount today and to deliver his stuff to his house. As they head out, Denden thinks he may have been too cautious, but then notices his sign falling on Zero who is using her drone to manipulate the speed that the sign is falling at, and at the same time the sign "hits" her she quickly puts fake blood on her head and acts like she is dying.

Denden wonders what they should do and if they need to call the ambulance, but Inyo looks at him and tells him to give him the discount in his daughter's honor. Denden gives him a 90% discount and as Inyo leaves, he sees Zero opening her eyes and eating, making him realize he was played again. Preferring to die than being fooled again, Denden decides to go to Magmell and make a new life.

On the next day, Denden closes his shop and prepares to leave to Magmel with his three-wheel bike, but Inyo and Zero get on his bike too. They keep up their act and explain they just want a ride back home. On a red-light stop, they provoke Denden to go faster and Inyo cuts his breaks and leave the bike, which causes Denden to crash as he speeds up causing him and his bike to fall in water. Managing to survive thanks to Inyo, Denden realizes he can't make it to Magmell with a bike and decides to go by sea.

Pulling out all of his savings and taking a loan, Denden buys a boat, but Inyo and Zero board it too. Inyo then shows him his Lacht ability and creates a grenade, which he gives to Denden after he had removed its pin. Panicking Denden tries to throw the grenade in the water, but misses and it ends up landing on his boat and causes it to sink.

Denden decides to go to Magmell by sky and prepares to take off using a hang glider. Managing to fly off, he starts to wonder where Magmell is and realizes he can't look at his phone as his hands are busy. Inyo appears behind him, carried by Zero's drone and uses a big fan to change the updraft, causing Denden to fall into a truck carrying pigs. By coincidence the truck was heading towards Magmell and manages to take him there.

Back in the present, the turtle is about to eat Denden, who regrets that he didn't stick to his shop, but Inyo appears and saves him. Zero expresses her desire to visit the shop again.
