But what a surprise.
I had no idea Circus was made up of such attractive, young people.
Coming from the man who, at the young age of 42,
runs the whole of the Lindain Group...
I am not sure whether to take that compliment at face value or not...
Oh, no, it was a candid remark.
Now, what is the business that you asked us here to discuss?
The truth is, a division of one of the Gald Company's affiliates
seems to be keeping monsters.
Episode 11 Ice Cream Parade
The Floating Iron Castle, Vantnum!
We have a rare day off, so let's enjoy it to the fullest!
Where do you want to go, Nai?
Oh, um... Um...
So, hey...
Oh? Jiki? Where do you want?
I'm going to go off on my own.
What?
Let's go together.
There are some hobby shops and stuff that I want to take my time in.
Oh!
Jiki!
Okay, then, next up is the shop that gets my top recommendation!
This is the place!
Wow!
We're not doing this place.
What? What?!
- Nai's happy to be here, so you could enjoy it, too, Gareki... - Quit it. Knock it off!
- They have tons of Nyanperowna merchandise! - Shut up already...
Quit messing with me...
Nyanperowna, my ass!
It's just a stuffed suit that you wear and move around in!
Not interested!
Wh-What...
What are you l-l-lying for, Gareki?!
Nyanperowna is fully alive, you know!
He's not some stuffed suit!
Oh, Gareki...
Hey.
Oh...
Oh, oh! Oh, oh, Nyanperowna really exists, you know!
The last three digits of your credit card are "ZZA."
This non-public code is exclusively used by the Nation Defense Agency.
And based on what you said earlier,
it's obvious that you're the person inside Nyanperowna!
Nyanperowna's alive, you know.
- What're you trying to get at, you stinking brat? - Children's dreams...
I am not a stinking brat.
I'm Yanari.
Yana... ri?
I'm looking for a pasta shop that has a blue roof and a black gate.
If you don't want Nyanperowna's secret to get out,
find that pasta shop.
It may all be soil, but there are subtle differences.
Seedlings and soil
both need to be thoroughly admired before you buy them.
And the ladies' uniforms are great, too!
Pardon me.
Azana.
I feel like you have more injuries every time I see you.
Well, there seem to have been no notable incidents in Vint since then.
Yes.
I hear the organization of poachers has also been exposed.
That's really great.
Oh, I saw that Mr. Hirato was here.
What about Hirato?
Oh, right, you two don't get along...
No... Uh, I wonder if Mr. Hirato has found any leads...
I understand your suspicions,
but there are no traitors at the Research Tower.
In the Vint case,
the man who claimed to be working for you has not been clearly identified.
However,
information is being leaked and that is a fact.
No...
It doesn't seem like he has any leads yet.
I have no proof.
However, their employee turnover rate is unusually high.
Furthermore, those who leave the company
immediately die of mysterious illnesses or in accidents,
or they go missing.
This is not known to the public,
but Palnedo hosted a party the other day at a Gald Company facility.
And a friend of mine who was invited has gone missing.
I see.
It seems that place is no longer fit to be inhabited by the living.
Shing!
Abounding manly spirit!
Ba-zing!
His heart beats high! Prince Brilliance!
National Defense Agency, Circus.
Combat personnel on Airship Two, Yo...
Nyanperowna!
Is here!
It's kind of half as cool when you're not Nyanperowna.
What?
But I did it because you asked me to...
There's someone looking at us.
What're you staring at us for?
Take your head off and show us your face.
I-I...
Hey, Gareki!
What are you doing?! There are kids watching!
Dreams! Important!
I-I'm Rissun!
You're the mascot of Vantnum, aren't you?
I'm the guide to this city!
Th-Then...
A pasta place with... a blue roof... and a black gate...
Do you know it?
My friend wants to go there.
We couldn't find it online, either.
Oh, that might be the place in District E-22.
Really?
I hope you spend the day making it a memorable one with your friends!
Thank you, Mr. Rissun!
Nai.
That is... Earlier, you referred to me as... your friend, but...
What did we do to become friends?
What did we... do?
T-To become friends,
what must we acknowledge in one another? That is what I am asking!
I don't know.
What?
But...
Um, well...
It's really...
...warm.
You idiot! I told you not to let him out of your sight!
What if they come after him again?!
Is something the matter?
Oh, no...
It seems my son has snuck out of his room.
My subordinates are in town,
so I'll dispatch them, just to be safe.
Emergency orders?
Safeguard a 9-year-old boy...
The son of the Lindain Group's CEO...
Indigo-black hair...
A blazer and shorts...
And his name is Yanari...
Wait...
Mr. Rissun!
You came with us?
Y-Yeah.
His voice...
Who are you?
Don't move!
What are you doing?
Dressed like that. You're despicable.
Don't move!
We have been looking for you, Master Yanari!
Are you all right?!
Come! This way!
N-No! I'm not going home yet!
There's still something I need to do!
There's somewhere Yanari wants to go!
Please leave it to those of us with Circus to handle this scoundrel.
Mr. Hirato?
The blond is trying to take the child and get away.
Go.
Huh?
What?
Oh!
Mr. Hirato let us get away!
That was so nice of him!
This is... a pasta shop?
No, but this is the right place.
I will finally get to see her.
My mother.
Mother?
Mother!
Mr... Yanari?
In an accident, a month ago.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know how to get in touch with you,
so I wasn't able to let you know about her funeral.
No, I should be the one to be apologizing...
You have my thanks.
Yogi, inside Yanari...
There's so much... and so painful, but I...
Um... so...
What is it, Nai?
Yanari...
Don't scare me.
Why did you have to tie me up, too?
Not only did you emotionally damage the city's children,
but to think that you would also expose my own children to danger...
Oh, yeah? It should be a piece of cake for Yogi.
What are you saying? This is about you and Nai.
H-Huh?!
How am I your brat?!
What're you laughing for?!
Nothing.
Then...
Gareki, would you care to become one of Airship Two's children?
Huh?
When my mother could no longer put up with my father's work
and she left our home...
I thought she'd abandoned me, and yet...
...I secretly asked to go see her.
But when my mother saw me...
I... ignored her.
I did a terrible thing.
I'm the worst person ever!
Yanari, you're wrong.
I'm not wrong!
That's why I've never had any friends, either!
My father does terrible things at work,
so he's hated by lots of people!
I'll probably become like him, too!
No...
I already am.
That's why I'll become even more terrible...
And more terrible! And more terrible!
I'll become terrible and!
Those are not words you should be telling yourself.
Not words like those.
You hurt your mother
and having realized it, you're hurt, too.
You're a kind person, Yanari.
What?
No matter what kind of place you're in,
if you just stand firm on your own two feet and keep from being swept away,
you can stay unsullied and still grow strong.
Besides,
if it's friends, you already have some, right?
Us!
Gareki, who's not here, and Tsukumo, who's outside...
We're all your friends.
Um...
I... made that for my mother...
Yanari, it's your birthday, isn't it?
Happy birthday!
Are you well?
Have you grown taller?
Yanari, I'm sorry.
Yanari,
I love you.
You know,
when I'm Nyanperowna,
even if it's only for a short time,
being able to meet those children and to be with them...
I think it's destiny.
Destiny?
So, you see, Nai,
you have to say a proper goodbye.
Nai, thank you.
The moment you grabbed my hand, I felt really reassured somehow.
You have my thanks!
You know, Gareki and Yogi did that for me.
And Karoku, too.
Karoku?
I'm looking for Karoku.
I've heard that name... somewhere before...
Yanari!
We're going soon!
Yogi, I get it now, that Nyanperowna is cool because it's you.
What?
- Gareki, you were really something when you stood up to that fake Rissun. - I'm so happy!
Stinking brat...
Nai!
I bought this for my mother, but please use it.
What?
You are my first friend!
Yeah!
It's been a very, very memorable day.
...would you care to become one of Airship Two's children?
What is that?
That four-eyed turd...
I seriously don't get what he's saying.
Nai!
Phone call.
- Ph-Phone call? Um... - Hello, Nai?
Yanari?
The Karoku you're looking for... That name...
What?
A girl I went to Selection School with mentioned it to me.
I think her name was...
...Eleska.
Eleska?
Does it mean working on the airship?
I just thought that if I stuck with Nai, I could make money...
I planned to use him, I didn't care how. And that brought me here...
Kept me here...
But...
Since when did something so business-as-usual
become hard for me to live with?
Gareki, I got us some juice.
Thanks.
I don't want to keep standing next to these guys the way I am now.
I can't keep staying here like this...
Let's talk, Nai.
Sink down.
Nai!
That took you a while, Nai.
Karoku! Where are you?!
Were you reluctant to part with your friends?
They're so lucky.
When I can't even see you.
Why did you go away?!
I was taken away against my will.
Karoku!
Where were you taken?!
Tell me!
I'll work really hard to find you!
Then...
...come right away.
Soon, I'm...
...going to be killed.
The place is...
Nai, are you all right?
The place...
The Misty... Mansion...
The Misty Mansion?
Karoku's there...
Tsukumo!
I'm going to the Misty Mansion!
Karoku's...
Karoku's going to be killed...
That is a difficult location.
The Misty Mansion is one of Kafka's main research facilities.
Even thus far, we haven't been able to secure proof,
and I've heard that's kept us from investigating them.
If we thoughtlessly go after them,
all our hard work thus far will have been for nothing.
Unless we have some concrete proof,
the Command Tower won't authorize this.
There's a connection between Palnedo's granddaughter, Eleska,
and Karoku, right?
With only Yanari's memory to go on,
it's hard to call that proof.
I-I'm going.
No matter what...
What will you be able to do if you go?
No!
I'm going!
Or Karoku will be killed!
Nai...
Karoku said to come right away...
So I...
I'll go, even by myself.
I'll go.
I'm not Circus anyway, so it'll be a simple case of breaking and entering.
If we can find proof, you guys can take action, right?
What if something happens?!
In that case, I'll leave my ID behind and go!
I'll go, too!
Mr. Hirato!
I-I!
Calm down.
Very well.
I'll take responsibility for this.
Under the pretext of rescuing Karoku, we will raid the target location.
This is our moment of truth as Circus.

Circus
Each one of us is different, bun.
Long ears, eye color, voice, mannerisms, and attire...
You're absolutely identical.
Look carefully, bun. You will be able to see the difference, bun.
You know, rabbit, I think everyone would agree with me.
