## Plot

   Gash, Kiyomaro, and Seitaro enjoy breakfast together and Seitaro notices that Gash doesn’t seem to have any appetite for it. Kiyomaro speculates that Gash is still feeling somewhat depressed over what had happened to Yopopo and thinks to himself he feels the same too. Seitaro suggests that the two of them spend the day sightseeing in London in order to focus on other things and cheer up from recent events and both Gash and Kiyomaro decide to do just that. As they wander around town hoping to take a break from any potential battles, Kiyomaro notices a large billboard promoting Folgore’s concert in London. Shocked to find out that Folgore was in town, Kiyomaro starts looking around wondering where Folgore’s demon partner Canchome was and he soon spots him in the crowd. Kiyomaro tries to look away from him, hoping he didn’t see him, but Canchome immediately recognizes him and Gash. Canchome approaches the two of them and expresses his intent to finally defeat them but Kiyomaro takes Gash with him and begins running away.

Canchome tries to chase after them while telling them to stop but he then trips into a fountain. Canchome begs for them to come back as it turns out he only wants to talk to them. Kiyomaro stops running and he and Gash sit with Canchome in Folgore’s dressing room to talk.In the dressing room, Kiyomaro tries to ask Canchome what it was he wanted to talk to him about but Canchome ends up ignoring the question to show Gash and Kiyomaro one of Folgore’s movies. After playing it, Canchome finally reveals that Folgore had suddenly gone missing and that his London concert was to start in an hour. Canchome asks Kiyomaro and Gash to help him find Folgore but Kiyomaro asks why couldn’t he simply find Folgore by himself. Canchome answers saying he can’t do much without him before trying to persuade Kiyomaro even more for him to help him. Kiyomaro finally gives in and gives Gash one of Folgore’s clothes for him in order to find Folgore by his scent.

Following Folgore’s scent first leads the trio to a candy shop in town. When talking to the store owner, Kiyomaro finds out that Folgore was there not too long ago. The store owner explains that Folgore had bought lots of candy from her before touching her breasts before he left. At the flower and toy store, Kiyomaro hears the exact same story from the respective female store owners and Kiyomaro becomes visibly more irritated and annoyed each time. While at the toy store, Kiyomaro’s rage reaches its peak and he asks Canchome if Folgore had told him anything before he left. Canchome then finally tells him that the last thing Folgore said to him was that he was going out to see a girl. Angry with Folgore for having wasted their time only to seemingly flirt with women, Kiyomaro follows Gash to the next place that Folgore’s scent leads to. Unexpectedly however, the trio are surprised to find that Folgore’s scent leads to a hospital.
