Act Three Story
Tonosama (leader of the Samurai)is ill because he ate polluted shellfish, dirty water and polluted shinkayo in Blackpool.So many people came to try to cure him:
At first a one-legged creature with a wing arrived on an iceberg and used magical power, but was not successful. As a punishment Tonosama turned her into a scarecrow.
Next, Tonosama vists hot springs in the plum forest and the plum fairies do their therapies, an emotional singer came and sang a `music therapy` song and there is an attempt at a group acupuncture pointing therapy, but all end in failure.
So finally, a living musical instrument (a bit like a shell) phoned up Hippo and asked her to do some calligraphy with the dirty water.
The first time Hippo does calligraphy it turns into a bird and flies away. Second time, it turns into a zebra and runs away. Finally, Hippo draws a girl with a ribbon. This girl with the`the power of love` does some treatment! Tonosama is cured and there is a mask dance party on the beach at sunset.
