11: I just wanted you to help me save the town!

39)
1: Sensei, I'm hungryyy...
2: Idiot! That comes later!
3: Ahh, wait a minute.
4: You can eat that.
5: Ah, you're right! It tastes good!
6: What the hell is that?
7: A liquid food transport pipe.
8: It's sent directly to homes from the factory.
9: FACTORY
10: These days, everyone sticks the pipes directly into their stomachs, though.
11: So those pipes the policemen were dragging were...
12: Wonder what this one is?
13: Ahh, no!!
14: Ugehhh! It stiiinks!
15: That's a defecation pipe.

40)
1: These, thin, lightweight, sturdy lengthening pipes were really convenient.
2: After started to be sold only within town limits, pretty much everyone began to use them.
3: Mom, dad, and of course myself.
4: My neighbors, my friends...
5: Yeaaaah!
6: The townspeople began to gradually grow lazier and lazier, though.
7: They no longer had any reason to move, after all!

41)
1: One by one, my friends all stopped coming to school.
2: But if you don't move, then how can you make a living?
3: Won't the food stop coming?
4: Exactly.
5: One day, I went to go visit my grandfather, who lived closeby.
6: Gwanpa, I'm here!
7: Gwanpa?
8: His food transport pipe got jammed, and so he died of starvation.
9: My grandpa was originally very healthy, though, and never got bedridden.
10: He just got so lazy that he wouldn't move even if food stopped being transported to him!!

42)
1: At this rate, the same thing will just keep happening!
2: I have to make everyone realize while they still have the will to move around!
3: So that's why you were cutting the pipes.
4: Please, help me!
5: Yeah right! This is pure destruction you're requesting! That's not even funny!
6: Like this!
7: Wahhh, stop, I said!!
8: You won't truly understand until you see it with your own eyes.
9: This way.
10: Come on up.
11: These are my parents.

43)
1: They only feed and defecate every day, and have no reason to move.
2: And so their bodies themselves have become nothing more than pipes!!
3: Why didn't you just pull them out?
4: Stop! They'll die!!
5: But if all the people in the town are already this far, don't you think it's a bit too late?
6: My parents were the first people who started using pipes.
7: There should still only be a small number of people this bad.
8: We need to do something before everyone turns into this!!
9: Sho that'sh what you'ah up to!
