A poison that simulates death...
Hi... ra...
I am terribly sorry for this disturbance.
National Defense Agency, Circus.
I am Hirato, captain of Airship Two.
I shall come by again later to tender a formal apology.
Well, then.
Circus...
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
Yukkin?!
Yukkin! Yukkin!
Yukkin, Yukkin, Yukkin...
Episode 10 Tears of the Wild Beast Tamer
We are going to register your voiceprint,
so it can be anything, please just say something.
H-Hello...
Hey, I'm here.
Making people say "I'm home"...
- So that's just Yogi's thing. - Voiceprint registered, bun.
Welcome to Circus's Airship One.
Then, for starters, we will have the two of you clean.
Please get it done before Tsuki returns, all right?
If you were expecting to be treated as guests, I am so sorry.
Perhaps this is a bit hard for you, coming from the doltish Airship Two.
Gareki?
We'll get it done in nothing flat.
It will be interesting to see if you can get it done before time is up.
I don't know where Kiichi gets the energy...
They'd be no trouble if she'd just leave them alone.
I have a pretty good idea of who Nai is, but...
So, he has no family register on record.
Blood relatives, unknown...
Before he was abandoned in Karasuna...
A human trafficking ship that ran aground?
Is this that incident
that Mr. Tsukitachi and Mr. Hirato were involved in?
Damn it...
There's no end to this.
Bun... Bun... Bun... Bun...
Bun... Bun...
What's wrong?
I was working outside for a while and I got fuzz balls, bun.
Eh?
You're supposed to be high-performance, right?
At least get designed so you don't get fuzz balls.
I'll do it!
Thank you, bun.
That feels good, bun.
And we haven't even finished with our own cleaning...
I guess it's no use.
We've lost that woman's challenge.
Fine. All of you get over here.
Bun!
Bun, bun, bun, bun, bun.
Wha?!
Oh, Kiichi, we'll be done soon.
Why are the rabbits helping you?!
Sorry, did we take a little too long?
Yo, I'm back.
Did they find Tsukumo?!
Great, huh?
Hurray! Hurray!
Well, Yogi's still sleeping,
so we're going to have you two stay here for a little longer, though.
But in exchange, I'll answer any questions you may have.
What about Tsubame? How's she doing?
She's doing great!
She's always worrying about you, Gareki.
It's not like... there's anything...
Since Circus has placed her under its protective custody,
there are limits to what she's allowed to do.
But in exchange, we're taking care of Tsubame's grandfather.
What?
She was happy about it, too, because it would lift the burden
from the benefactor who'd been paying the hospital fees up until now.
Huh. I see.
That's great for the old geezer.
Gar...
That reminds me, what's up with your weapons and stuff?
Ooh! That concerns you, does it, boy?
Then come with us to work tomorrow!
Huh?!
What are you doing inviting civilians along when it makes no sense?!
Sure, it makes sense.
It's the place where our Circus bracelets come from,
the source of our powers.
We haven't been able to identify our target yet!
If the worst should...
We'll be with them, so what danger could there be?
Right, Kiichi?
Of course!
Kiichi is not the same as Team Two's squad of lame-brains.
Eat up! Eat up! We're going on a field trip tomorrow!
Did you just call it a field trip?
What the hell do you think our job is?!
Sorry about this. It'll be our first time on a mission together,
so I want to see a little of how you two move.
Would you try running away to keep from getting caught by me?
Sure.
I remember this guy got blown away by that rabbit last time.
Then, here we go.
It's just that so far, the enemy hasn't been fighting in earnest.
When the time comes, it'll be instantaneous.
Chance turn of events and friendships...
Those things won't keep you on your feet in this place.
Not here.
To put it bluntly, I think you might've been placed here
as a sacrificial pawn to provide stability for Nai.
Instead of going along with those nasty adults,
it might be better if you went back to where you belong.
Well, then, have fun tomorrow.
...have fun tomorrow.
Where are you going, bun?
Bun! Bun! Bun! Bun!
You want to talk to Jiki?
Did he say something to you?
Mr. Tsukitachi...
I...
...don't want to pawn-sacrifice Gareki!
Huh?
Okay. Okay. How about you try saying that again?
Um, dangerous things are happening to everyone because they're with me.
But...
You think it's your fault that everyone's getting hurt?
Yeah.
But it's thanks to you staying with Circus
that the Varugas that we want to catch are coming to us and...
It's helped us in a lot of ways, you know.
And you should use us to find Karoku.
No matter what happens, they'll be things for us to overcome together.
They won't be your fault.
You see...
With Gareki, I asked him to come with me.
And that's why he's been in danger...
If I say goodbye to him, so he can go home...
Where do you want to go home to right now, Nai?
What?
I wonder where Gareki wants to go home to...
You and Gareki both have had involvement with Varugas,
so it may be hard for you to get what you want.
But you and Gareki must both have them.
Things you wish for in your heart.
Things we wish for... in our hearts...
Work towards making them come true
and choose the best course of action available to you now.
If you care about someone, don't feel small next to them.
Get to know what that person wishes for.
Stop! Please stop!
I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry!
Just make up some excuse to Dr. Akari...
Get in bed!
Dr. Akari!
But!
I heard that Nai and Gareki have gone over to Team One...
I just know that they're being bullied over there!
Team One set out yesterday to conduct that investigation.
In Vint?
It seems Nai and Gareki are accompanying them.
Isn't it likely they'll become friendly over time like you guys did?
What?
What?!
There are a lot of rare animals that are indigenous to Vint,
so the government has designated the region a special sanctuary.
And yet, there's been an increase in animal casualties.
Furthermore, the bodies of poachers have also been found...
Even if you explain the case to them,
they are not going to understand anyway.
You two, whatever you do, please do not get in the way.
You...
I'm Azana of the Room of Life.
We haven't met since Rinole.
How did you get hurt?
Oh, these...
The animals try to play with me as a show of affection,
- but they're so energetic... - Enough with the idle chitchat.
How about we hurry up and get the investigation started?
Let's be efficient and split up.
Those of you from the Room of Life, we'll need you to serve as our guides.
Want to come with me, Gareki?
I'll tell you about those powers of ours.
I'll come.
Me, too.
What?
Nai, shall we go?
What?!
Jiki, you forgot your guide!
It's fine when I decide someone isn't worth my time,
but it ticks me off when someone tries to avoid me.
Ever since we started finding the bodies of poachers,
the number of animals that have fallen victim has declined.
Owowowow...
This little one had been badly injured by a poacher.
And what about the poacher?
He was apparently found dead.
Who found him?
Me and Murano, my senior.
I see.
I'm glad the little one's all right.
What's up?
Were you able to sleep last night?
Not really.
You see, Circus's bracelets...
Eh?
...use the cells of the life forms here.
The environment here is harsh,
meager on sunlight and not blessed with plentiful sources of food.
Organisms here changed to grow stronger, merely to survive.
They became specialized at mass producing energy and regeneration.
By extracting those cells, what research gave rise to...
...was the Incuna, the omnipotent cell.
They're integrated into the Circus bracelets
and they're what give physical form to our powers.
Go.
Is that one of those physical forms?
Yeah.
But it's also a double-edged sword.
What?
The power of the Incuna is not a simple thing.
If you unleash its power without regulating it,
it can knock you out cold, for example...
Well, it's people with the capacity to potentially withstand that,
who overcome rigorous training, and then the chosen from among them...
Those are the people in Circus, basically.
The poachers' bodies were found around here.
Considering the circumstances,
I think we can say that they were Varuga attacks.
So you really do think it was a Varuga?
According to the report,
it seems the targets are limited to poachers, though.
Jiki, something's coming.
Oh, it's a Moss Lizard.
It wasn't this little one...
What?
Murano!
Kiri, these people aren't poachers!
It was this one...
It's wary of humans.
It was once attacked by a poacher, so...
No!
Kiri, calm down!
Kiri!
Don't do this! Kiri's not to blame for any of this!
Yes, that is exactly why your actions are so damnable.
We may be family of sorts, sharing a common organization's mission,
but I cannot accord you any special treatment!
Kiri, run!
So, the jackpot was over there...
What jackpot?
It's fine. Kiichi and Jiki are with Nai.
Kiri!
Oh, no!
Yogi?!
Einsam Zelle!
Kiri!
Nai, are you okay?
Yeah! Yeah!
What should I have done?
If I hadn't used that drug then, Kiri would've died.
More than Kiri going wild from the drug...
More than the terror of losing Kiri...
If it would let me protect everyone...
I wanted us to have the power to do that...
Please tell us how you obtained that drug.
I don't know the person's name.
But he told me he worked under Dr. Akari, so I trusted him.
How vague...
Well, that's fine.
We have plenty of time for interrogation.
You can't mean that!
All he wanted to do was to protect the animals!
Jiki...
Yogi...
I will put you out of your misery quickly.
This sacrifice will not go to waste.
The scythe of castigation will reach the evil beyond as well, without fail.
Kiichi...
Yogi...
Gareki!
You just called my name for the first time, didn't you?!
Huh?!
I'm so glad!
You'd never called me by name before,
so I thought that maybe you really hated me!
What are you talking about?
I mean, that wasn't the first time, was it?
Not that I've even consciously thought about it.
Never before! I'm sure of it!
Sure I have! You just weren't listening!
Like in Rinole, you had a freaking black out and...
What happened in Rinole, I... I'm really sorry.
I mean, are you okay? Physically and stuff...
I'm okay now!
Let's all go home together!
To our cozy Airship Two!
I'm home!
- Welcome back, baa. - Welcome back, baa.
I'm home.
What's wrong, Gareki?
"I'm home," right?
I'm home.
Welcome back, baa.
Tsukumo!
Jiki? What's wrong?
I've been ordered to stay with Nai and his friend for a while, so...
What?
Nice to be here.
Do you suppose he's doing well?
Oh...
Y-Yes.
I see. Thank you.
What a pain.
I feel like seeing him is going to suck my luck down the drain, too.
And Master Karoku's health has been stable lately, too...
He's going to become skin and bones anyway! It's a waste of food!
You know, there's something I want you to tell me, Gareki.
What is it?
Where's the place that you want to go home to?
Huh?
Where? Where? Where? Where? Where?
Shut up! Nowhere!
He scared me there for a moment.
It seemed impossible,
but I thought he'd seen right through me.
I know it! Damn it!
About how I'm not capable of much, either!
But I wanted to change things...
Just leap out there and...
But what was I able to do?
Where do I want to go home to?
Like hell I have a nice place like that or the right to one!
"I'm home," right?
But... to still stay here...
You know, Gareki, I want a place where I'm with everyone.
And I'd be happy if I can find Karoku doing well.
So I'm going to do the lots of things to make that happen.
You're talking weird.
I see.
Yogi's certainly transformed into quite the simple figure.
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
"Green light..."
The room got cleaned, so it doesn't really matter, does it?
"Red light, baa!"
It was cheap of them to use the rabbits.
"Green light..."
Ooh, I know!
"Red light, baa!"
I have your favorite éclairs, Kiichi.
Yay! I will enjoy them!
"Green light..."
Hey! Jiki!
"Red light, baa!"
Jiki is not here, so Kiichi will eat them for him!
