After 2 weeks, Mother 3 resumes! Last time, we were heading towards Club Titiboo where Duster had been seen working. This time we're going to do more of that!

Yes, those are pig flowers we're passing by.

Wait, passing by? Hey, why not go investigate them?! This kind of attitude certainly hasn't got Lucas and Boney nearly killed before!!

Only 2 points of damage?

I hope this thing isn't secretly insanely powerful or something.

WELL I GUESS IT MUST BE

wait what

I have no idea what's going on in this battle, and I'm supposed to be controlling it.

Ropeway Guy: This is the ropeway to club TitiBoo.

Would you like to get on?

Your ticket please.

Ok, everything looks good.

Please get on.

Here we are! Ooh, they have binoculars.

Lovely view of the tower.

I have no idea what that said, but hey, random fireworks.

Skinhead: Ah, haven't seen your face before.

I'm afraid we don't allow pets in our establishment.

I'm sorry but could you please come back another time?

Bearbeard: Please come again.

I guess...we'll just have to go. Sorry, Wes.

Heheheh.

Skinhead: Aren't you that boy who was just here with the dog?

And you look kinda doggish.

Bearbeard: Something stinks here.

Where'd your dog go and where'd this doggy boy come from?

Plus, you both look underage.
Wow, took a while for someone to get that.

Something stinks like puberty and dog.

Skinhead: Now that you mention it...something is off.

Suspicion alone is grounds for punishment.

That's the way we do things around here.

Go home.

Go home little brat and dog-faced boy!

Bearbeard: No, let's punch them out right here.

Yoshi-Koshi: Oolala, if isn't a woefully underage looking young man and a strikingly canine looking boy.

Were you mistaken as such?

Skinhead: Huh?

Are these friend of yours, Yoshi-Koshi?

Bearbeard: Even if they are, something's still smells fishy.

Especially this dog-boy. Shake!

Come on, boy, give me your paw.

Hey, don't turn away from me!

Maybe you haven't been trained on that yet.

Boney: Woooooo. (I can do it but...)

Bearbeard: He does look like a dog but, I guess he's not.

If, by chance, you really are a dog...

...you'll be a good dog to shake hands with.

Haha.

Skinhead: Have a good time inside and let all your worries melt away.

Bearbeard: Hey, boy...have a good time.

Boney: Woof! (That was close!)

Yoshi-Koshi: Without changing your expression, listen up.

I'm wearing a lot of girly clothes but it's me!

We met in the Telly forest.

I'm Kumatora.

I'll explain everything later. Now, smile.

Good. DCMC's set is just about to start.

Go on in and try to get a seat.

Concession Stand Girl: The Metropolis Soda is a really bog hit at Club TitiBoo.

You should try it at least once. Teehee.

Girl: There are no toilets for dogs here.

Oh, you're not a dog. My bad.

Girl: That girl at the concession stand always says "Teehee" at the end of her sentences.

She should stop that.

It makes her sound like an idiot.

Waahaa.

Man: Welcome.

I have some homemade DCMC goods on sale.

If you tear or break them, I'll work all night to fix them for you.

As if.

I'm a big fat liar but don't let that stop you from buying my DCMC goods.

Oops. I'd better get rid of some of those dolphin bones.

Boy: Tondagossa!

It's a greeting. Don't you know?

You should at least try to learn DCMC's greetings.

Tondagossa.

Fans: Yeah!

Woo-Hoo!

Magic!

Patch!

OJ!!!!!

Zumizu rocks!

TA-ME-KI-CHI!!

Girl: You're late.

The concert's almost over.

Everyone's shouting for an encore. Woo-hoo!

Boy: Over there is a girl who's always at the seashore.

I want him...

...her eyes are saying.

I've been standing here thinking that it might be nice to fall in love with her.

Ah...

Girl: Nantekoda!

There's a boy standing over there who's always at the seashore.

I want her...

...is what his gaze says.

I've been thinking that it'd be nice to fall in love with him.

Old Man: Apparently there is one man controlling the world.

Actually, I don't know if it's a man or woman, adult or child.

Man: I hope the encore starts soon.

As soon as the show's over you can DCMC pamphlets from the girl

Tessie: That bass player, Tamekichi, really looks like Duster.

But, I'm not convinced it's him.

Pig-Mask: I'm sure that the bass player, Tamekichi, is wearing a wig.

Pass it on.

Pig-Mask: I thought that our boss was that scary womanizer over there, but really he's way further up than this.

Further up than up, maybe.

Woman: Gross!

Your face is so hairy.
I...I thought she was referring to Lucas at first.

Woman: These box seats are ours.

Keep your nose out our business, you cheeky bugger.
Language, lady.

Scary Womanizer Pig-Mask: What are you looking at?

You stink like dog.

Like dog and stupid little brat.

This is no place for dog and little boy stench.

Beat it!

Boney: Woof!

If we keep walking around, the encore is never gonna start.

Let's sit.)

(Walking like this is making my paws tired.)

what is that familiar gait

Yoshi-Koshi: Can I get you something to drink?

...water?

Thomas: Who the heck is ordering water I thought to myself and it turned out to be Lucas.

Water...hahahah.

Yoshi-Koshi, get that young man a hard soda.

And get his dog-looking friend a Metropolis Soda.

It's all on me, of course.

Yoshi-Koshi: Yes, sir.

A Metropolis Soda and a Hard Soda.

Thomas: I'm surprised to see you in a place like this.

Yoshi-Koshi: Thanks for waiting, here's your drinks.

And now, without changing your expression, listen up.

I have a lot I want to talk to you about after the concert is over.

When it's over, look for me in the lobby.

I'll come to meet you there. Later.

Idiot! I told you not to change your expression.

Enjoy the show. Hehe.

Thomas: Hey, Lucas, what were you talking with Yoshi-Koshi about?

You're pretty good with the ladies, aren't you?

Oh, it's starting!

OJ: Tondagossa!

Are we rocking your world?

Oh my pork!

Look at the time.

Nantekoda!

Now for our last song of the evening.

This is King P's Theme.

Can you guys guess which band member is Duster??

Boney: Woof!

(My ears are ringing.)

Girl: DCMC's soulful music is always the bomb.

Would you like a DCMC pamphlet as a souvenir of your time in Club TitiBoo?

The die-hard fans love these things.

Make sure to cherish it.

Yoshi-Koshi: This way.

Yoshi-Koshi: Over here. Don't dawdle.

Aaargh this place is full of slugs.

Boney, this is not the time for a nap.

Ack!

Phew.

Ooh, a salt water gun.

I've got no choice but to move on, really.

Oh, that's not good.

Aaaargh!

Phew.

Yoshi-Koshi: That tunnel is really convenient but I get so dirty whenever I use it.

Plus I get the sticky stuff from the snails on me.

I'll be out of the shower soon.

Make yourself at home.

The room is all yours.

You two should take a shower.

There's also a hot spring.

We can talk when you're done.

After the showers were taken, the three talked for many hours about their lives over the last three years. About the monkey that they saved and the Hummingbird's Egg they took from the castle, and which since had gone missing.

About the fact that an amnesiac Duster is now a member of DCMC. And also about how much Tazmily has changed and the suspicious army...

In attempt to put together some of the scattered pieces of this jigsaw puzzle, they talked about everything and anything. The upcoming battles, they knew, would not be easy. That was the one thing that they all already understood.
