In the stable, Griffon remembers all the things they have done and Elie's breasts and butt. Then, something bumps into Griffon, and the Big Butt Bandits introduce themselves by shaking their enormous rumps with Wonderful Gocche, Kalen Berg, and Marco Belunjay in that order. Wonderful Gocche tells them to do push-ups for doubting his plans to threaten the train conductor with bombs. Kalen spots Griffon lurking and grabs him. When Kalen asks his big brother what Griffon is, Wonderful Gocche calls it a butt fish. After Haru and Elie finish their meal, Elie decides to go take a shower while Haru and Plue explore the train.
