Ichihiro and Kiyoshi were working in the harbor, Haruka and Haruki were needed back in Higan and had been sent back.
"I wonder when they'll come back." said Kiyoshi.
"They will probably be back sometime soon." replied Ichihiro.
"I like having them around."
"I don't know about that Kiyoshi."
"Why? Are you still getting over the time that you got covered in eggs?"
The incident with the farmer's cart happened several days ago, it took forever to get the eggs off of Ichihiro's boiler and the twins made fun of him. Suddenly one of the tugboats came close by, it was Ten Yen, he didn't look very happy, in fact he was a bit angry.
"What's the matter, Ten Yen?" called out Kiyoshi.
"Its that stupid barge." said Ten Yen.
"Is it Kimishima?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Yes, in fact, all he does is moan and complain!"
"Who's Kimishima?" asked Ichihiro.
Ten Yen began to explain, "Kimishima is a disagreeable barge, all he does is complain. Sometimes he says we're late, other times, he says we don't go fast enough."
"That Kimishima sounds like a pain." said Ichihiro.
"I'd say, but I have to leave now. Bye Kiyoshi, Bye Ichihiro."
"Bye Ten Yen!" said the two engines.
Ten Yen was right about Kimishima and today, he was more bad tempered than ever. Kimishima was at the end of a dock being loaded with freight.
"Come on! Come on! The trucks need to be put where they should be!" he said.
"Those trucks can't move on their own." said Mob Cap, the railway tugboat, "They need an engine, and they can only go where they're put."
"You and those bloody trucks are in the wrong place! Not me!" replied Kimishima.
When Kiyoshi arrived to where Kimishima was, the barge was sulking.
"This is for Kimishima, just put them somewhere and we can be rid of him." said a harbor worker.
Kiyoshi was soon coupled to a line of trucks and was pulling them out of the siding that was perpendicular to where Kimishima was. The trucks gave a big jerk and Kiyoshi lost control of them. The trucks picked up speed and crashed through a set of buffers.
"Look out!" cried Kiyoshi.
But it was too late! The trucks went across the dock and the trucks smashed onto Kimishima, putting a hole through his hull.
"Oooogh! I'm sinking!" said Kimishima.
"Serves you right!" said Ten Yen, "You were always barging in and moaning!"
It took a long time to clear up the mess. Kiyoshi watched as Kimishima was towed to the side of the river. When Kimishima was finally beached some workers beginning to talk to him.
"There you are, now you can just stay there!" one said.
"Now youkai can play inside of you all day." said another.
"Now, you can finally be somewhat useful to us!" said a third.
That evening Kiyoshi was resting on a siding when Ten Yen can came by.
"Thank you for taking out that barge." he said.
"It was nothing, the truck sort of moved themselves and they just crashed into him." Kiyoshi replied.
"But I owe you one. Thank you." and with that Ten Yen left.
