Piercing through sounds of all tones and tempo
Your body radiates a delicious heat
Like a flower awaiting the coming of night
You fear the light
Spin until they vanish
All the things that consume you
Lay them bare, lithe and graceful
The droplets watch with a steady gaze
Though you know the words to make love mesmerizing
There are no words to speak of love
You may be tear-stained and trembling
But the true face far in the distance
Is the story of warmth that you yearn for
That which echoes in your ear is the rondo of fixation
Gareki!
Dr. Akari, take care of Nai!
Gare... ki?
He's okay...
I have to believe it!
Episode 4 Evening Swallow
Ga...
Gareki...
Krone Saphir.
Under my command, the stones shine brilliantly,
consigning evil to oblivion.
I am named Queen of the Crown.
National Defense Agency, Circus.
I am Iva, combat personnel on Airship Two.
Those who spurn my love can shatter to pieces.
Big Sis Iva!
You dummy!
Slowpoke!
You'd better thank me!
Can you get up, boy?
Oh... Oh, don't push it.
Does it hurt bad anywhere?
Anything that feels off or maybe you feel sick?
I'm sorry.
You were scared speechless, right?
I'm the one who should've had things under control more.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
That's not it!
This is quiet time to wrap my brain around what happened!
Let go!
Come on, let him go.
What are you doing here, Big Sis?
Well, let's see... I was chasing a Varuga from Gavan,
but the bastard gave me the slip.
So, I was reluctantly thinking of heading home
when that Possessor suddenly appeared
and I figured I'd blow off some steam.
Possessor?
A beast form Varuga.
That thing, too...
Augh, seeing men's faces doesn't do anything to make me feel better.
I need an adorable creature.
Isn't Tsukumo here?
In human terms, it's just a contusion.
Con... tusion?
Don't worry. He'll be better in no time.
I wonder if Gareki and Yogi are okay...
It's because I went out there on my own, isn't it?
That's exactly right, but don't confuse that with the root cause.
The blame lies with our attackers.
Why did it go after Gareki instead of Nai?
Both their test results showed no sign of Varuga blood in their systems.
Oh, there you are.
Dr. Akari!
Gareki...
He's hurt?!
He was unsteady on his feet.
We couldn't dawdle along at the pace he was setting, you know?
Why Iva?
If you fight me on this again, I'll kiss you.
I think Gareki would rather be riding piggyback with me...
Just kill me already.
I don't see any major problems,
but just to play it safe, you go back to the ship with Iva.
Gareki, I'm sorry.
Huh? What for?
Because I...
Forget that. You okay?
Now then, we were interrupted,
but it's time to resume our original mission.
I hope there's something left that's related to Nai and Karoku.
Ka...
Karoku?
So this is where Nai and Mr. Karoku used to live...
Sorry, but we're ransacking this place.
Yogi.
Yes, Sir.
Now, look over here.
Do you understand?
I understand!
Good.
Karoku is...
...warm.
Warm...
Master Karoku, please get ready.
If I touch this light,
would warmth be able to move me to tears?
I'm coming.
Why did you fail?!
That is easy for you to ask, Mistress Eleska, but with Circus by his side...
Karoku's become interested in the kid named Gareki!
I wanted to bring him here as a surprise!
He gives me the same look no matter what I get him!
I want him to like me more!
He already cares strongly for you.
You are fourteen, Mistress Eleska.
And Master Karoku is eighteen.
You two are also a great match in terms of age.
More!
To the point that he'd grab me, even if I didn't want him to!
I want him to be crazy for me and...
I want him to want me!
Tell me, Uro, what should I do?!
Well... you have me at a loss.
There's nothing here of any interest.
And according to what Nai said,
it doesn't sound like they were doing anything especially odd, either.
Right, Nai?
A bug came out.
A bug?
Huh? Doctor?
Yogi, move this rock.
Uh, yes, Sir.
Huh?
There's something...
Squee! Tsukumo!
Yay! Lunch!
Who-ho-ho-hoa! Talk about a feast! Did you make this, Tsukumo?
Ah-ha! I knew it! It looks delicious!
- Here, Nai! A sandwich! - Eat quickly. We've met our objective.
This is a waste of time.
Hey! Eat like you're enjoying it more, Doctor!
Tsukumo came all this way to bring it to us, after all.
Right, Tsukumo?
Iva...
Gareki, is the pain okay?
I'm not in pain.
Hurry up and eat.
Did you guys find something?
Yeah, a notebook...
I looked inside, but I didn't really understand it.
It was like, full of numbers and symbols...
For me, well...
Sorry, it was indecipherable.
But Dr. Akari was really poring over it.
Huh.
I need a little favor from you.
- Welcome back, baa. - Welcome back, baa.
I'm home.
- No! No! I'm coming! I'm coming! - Oh, Mr. Hirato.
- No, you're not. - Oh, Mr. Hirato.
Thanks for taking my call.
- I'm coming! - Um, we're about to leave Rainbow Forest, but...
- I told you! There's no reason for you to come! - Um, we're about to leave Rainbow Forest, but...
Karasuna, where Gareki used to live, is close to our location,
and he says there's a place he wants to drop by...
Let go!
Really, Sir?
What? No way! He said okay?!
Hirato, you're being too nice! This is creepy!
I reported to you that they were attacked by a Possessor, remember?!
That's why I've assigned Yogi to them.
Iva, you and Tsukumo escort the Research Tower team.
Mr. Akari's there, right?
Let me talk to him.
Mr. Hirato says he wants to thank you for everything.
No need.
End the call.
And he's supposed to be an adult.
What?
"You make it so clearly known by your attitude whom you like and dislike.
What an adorable person you are"?
And you want me to relay that to him?!
I don't want to! If you're going to fight, please do it in person!
You two get along so badly! I swear!
So, that's what happened.
Oh, man, so I owe you another one.
Isn't it great, Nai? He said you could come with us.
What?
You'd only get in the way!
Nai is scared to be separated from you, Gareki.
Huh?!
Damn.
Guess I've got no choice.
Yay!
It's been a long time since I've just sort of hung out in a town!
Look stupid and you're going to get pickpocketed.
It's like you, Gareki!
- Ooh, I want that leather bracelet! - Damn it!
Mind if I play?
Eh?
What the?
Huh? What the?
Huh? What the what?
You're so lame. Give it to me.
Wow! That's so cool!
Oh?
Are you done with your errand?
Gareki?
Gareki, wait up!
Gareki!
What? Tsubame?
I'm so glad.
I got to see you...
I'm... so glad...
Did something happen?
I... I...
I...
...killed some people.
What should I do?
I didn't know that you'd moved.
No wonder you weren't there, no matter how many times I went.
So, has it been about two years since you've been here?
Um...
Why?
Uh, Tsubame, what's your relationship with Gareki?
Little sister?
No, right?
A relative?
Um...
Oh, c-could it be you're his girlfriend?!
N-N-No, I'm not!
My dream is to marry a chubby-cheeked guy with gentle eyes!
That's, um... the total opposite.
What about Yotaka?
Um...
I haven't told Yotaka.
But...
...he might already know that something's happened.
Right, because you twins have always had a sense of each other's emotions.
Why did you kill them?
Nai, that's so direct!
I've had these episodes for a while now, where I occasionally felt sick,
but that had been getting really bad lately...
I'd zone out...
And when I came to, I'd sometimes have blood on my clothes.
I never remembered anything.
But it was different yesterday.
You bastards...
What the hell are you doing to Tsubame?!
Stop! No!
It's Gareki!
Gareki?
Oh, so you're still alive.
Is it okay? This is a stranger's house.
Tsubame said the guy who lived here fled into the night, remember?
Uh, so like, that's why I'm wondering if this is okay...
Or rather, there's almost no one living in this village, is there?
Has it always been like this?
Not really, but...
So, Gareki, what's your relationship with those two?
Oh?
Do you mind my asking?
Let's see...
I think it was when I was eight.
My parents sold me.
What?
And I got grouped with others who were sold like me
and stuffed into a room on a ship.
That's when these things start, you know?
The stupid bullying of the weak.
I wasn't really weak,
but I was the runt of the pack, so they targeted me.
They tied me up
and kept me from the twice daily meal that was so kindly provided for us.
But after a while, I noticed it...
There was something mixed in with the food
and day by day, those guys were losing it.
When I thought I was too tired to move anymore,
Tsubaki took me in.
So, Tsubaki saved my life.
And her younger brother and sister are Yotaka and Tsubame.
Tsubaki was betrayed by the guy she liked and was killed.
I don't know the guy who killed her,
but if I ever meet him, I'm definitely killing him.
Huh?
I'll hug you?
What?
By experiencing the love in being hugged,
the embittered child's heart...
The brat here is you!
I don't like "killing"!
Gareki, no "killing"!
Gareki!
You guys are getting on my nerves!
I have a little brother and sister about your age.
Maybe that's why.
I couldn't leave you there.
There's someone I like.
And he gave me this medicine, so it's safe.
What are you, an idiot? Don't trust him.
He took me away from the establishment that I worked at.
And he's even paying for Grandpa's hospital fees.
It's just a nutritional supplement anyway
and he said he wanted data on twins, so...
You're actually suspicious of him, too, aren't you?
That maybe they're being used for some weird experiment.
But I can't keep everyone fed on what I make alone.
I can't protect them.
I can't even buy them the things they want.
I can't get you anything, either...
I don't need anything.
If it's money, I'll do something about it, too.
So don't go to him anymore!
I told you not to go!
Shh.
Outside.
Tsubame.
Have you been awake this whole time?
What? Uh...
You've been suspicious ever since you heard Tsubame's story, right?
I'm... sorry.
Don't be. I thought it, too.
If Tsubame is...
Why? When?
No, I suspect the medicine from back then.
Then, the man who used and killed Tsubaki is...
Hey.
Can they go back to normal?
I understand.
There's stuff drawn on him...
That's not drawn on.
They're injuries.
These shapes...
I've seen them before.
The same injuries that were on Tsubaki's dead body.
In that case...
It's the same guy who...
I don't know the guy who killed her,
but if I ever meet him, I'm definitely killing him.
I'm definitely...
...killing him.
Yotaka!
Be my reason
And now everything
Be my power, future
Begins to move
Be my reason
By your side
Be my power, future
When it comes to naming emotions
It's endless if you start listing them
But if your eyes shout them out
I'll identify them by instinct
Trust. Haunting me
Trash. Both the light and the dark there
Just like a piece coming together
There's a reason for it all
Whether it's coincidence or natural progression
It's changing into an encounter I want to have faith in
My heart is warming up bit by bit
It's not for show, there are no trade-offs either
I'm just being my real self
Standing in a place of my own choosing
And I want you to know that
Be my reason
By your side
Be my power, future
Circus
Akari, welcome back. Any souvenirs?
It was work. I did not go to goof off.
What? Then what's that thing in your breast pocket?
This is a Flower Rabbit.
No fair, Akari!
What is not fair?
