I am alone and have lost my way
I was always waiting for a future towards the boundless ocean
The color of my dream changes, just like the sky on that day
It is too beautiful to forget
I realized it when I decided to become strong
My love is filled to the brim in my heart
I can't stop loving you, so please take my tears that flow down
I have awakened to meet you
I am holding my memories and it is swinging in the wind
It will be reborn as a blue wing tomorrow
City of Kamchatka Suehiro Grade School
So what is it?
Well... there's something I want to tell you.
If there's something you want to tell me, hurry up and say it.
I... I think you're...
You think I'm...?
You're...
If you have something to say, just spit it out!
There's nothing I hate more than having my time wasted.
Kenta, rise and shine!
I'm going on a trip. Please don't look for me. Kenta
Honey! Come quick!
Episode 15 Die Hard, Play Hard
lt'd be one thing if you told me he'd been kidnapped.
But you want us to devote the entire police force to finding...
a grade school kid who's run away from home?
Are those the words of a police officer?!
I thought you were supposed to be a public servant!
Mitsue...
It's the police's duty to protect the citizens, is it not?
So you told them to ask Nereids to do it?
Yeah, they'll probably come talk to you about it.
If you make any money, you can take me to a fancy dinner.
Excuse me.
We found this when we were searching Kenta's room.
It's his piggy bank.
He probably had about twenty thousand rimas in it.
Twenty thousand rimas?
With that much money, it's likely he's gone somewhere far away.
Yes. There was a travel guide for Siberia City in his desk drawer.
It's amazing the allowance grade school kids get these days.
Never mind that. What do you plan to do now?
I'll go to the airport and see what I can find out.
A child that age traveling alone would draw attention.
If he flew somewhere, the airline would probably remember him.
Very well. Keep up the good work.
Yes.
She's really coming along.
She might even be able to handle this job on her own.
I'm glad to hear that.
Yeah, I remember him.
Really?
I'm pretty sure he's the kid on the flight the night before last.
Is there any way to be certain?
Yes, Kenta showed up on the surveillance camera.
If we alert the Siberia City police, they should be able to catch him.
You idiot! If the police find him, we don't make any money.
Well then, if that's the case, we could ask the Nereids Siberia branch to...
We won't get any credit for that!
Even if they lend us some help...
we have to be the ones to actually get a hold of him!
Go to Siberia City right now and start looking for him!
Look for him? You want me to...?!
Who else is there?
The branch manager is looking after his sick wife...
and won't be in the office for 2-3 days.
Here. Your porridge is ready.
So Shizuka is filing in for him at the office.
Yu and Gloria have six dangerous cases to work on.
That's it.
OK!
And since I'm the leader there's no way I can go.
You're the only one who's free!
Yeah, but I'm not sure if I can handle going to Siberia City alone...
I don't care! Get a ticket right now and go!
Yes...
I swear. She can't do anything on her own.
Today was a real bitch!
What are you doing?
She's putting an ad in the missing persons column.
She's helping Maia out.
I gave them the Siberia branch's contact information.
They'll pass on any promising leads to Maia.
Sir, we've received a request for cooperation...
from Ms. Honjyo at the Kamchatka branch.
Honjyo? You mean Rena Honjyo?
Yes.
No way!
There's no way in hell I'm handing this child over to...
someone from the Kamchatka branch!
If those guys come asking, just feed them some nonsense.
But...
Don't worry. I'll take full responsibility.
Here it is! Kenta Takahashi. It's this kid, right?
Yes, that's right.
Let's see, he rented it for one week.
His contact address is...
And it's a false address? He's smart for a kid.
Looks like he's very sharp. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find him.
Well, I'm sure he's there.
The Siberia branch should provide you with good information. So, don't worry.
I hope you're right.
I know it can be tough working alone, but just do your best.
I will. And good luck working the night shift, Shizuka.
As long as nothing happens, I can just watch TV. It's not so bad.
Well, good night.
This is where Kamchatka City's latest agricultural plant is being built.
In half a year, this plant alone will make it possible to...
increase food production by five percent.
Let's hear the details from a staff member of the company...
that owns the plant, Fujiyama Technology.
A structure for the hydroponic cultivation of grains and vegetables...
called the "bed", will be built on the level areas.
And that water tank will provide the enormous water supply...
to be used by the facility.
The water can be used for cultivation...
but its main function will be to act as...
a coolant in order to protect crops from the heat.
Don't be so noisy!
You mustn't disturb the other people!
You've received a message
From: Nereids Siberia Branch Title: Information regarding Kenta Takahashi
We have information that a child resembling the boy was seen on Tarkovsky Street in the 12th district.
Tarkovsky Street... A child who resembles him...
Taxi!
So, did you see him?
You've received a message
From: Nereids Siberia Branch Title: Information regarding Kenta Takahashi
We have information he was spotted on German Street in the 48th district.
Send her another message in four hours.
Tell her we have reliable information that...
he was spotted on Paradianov Street.
That's the entertainment district.
Aren't we stretching it a bit?
Who cares?
We've also got some actual information regarding the boy.
A child resembling the boy was seen on Kanevski Street.
Rena! We got a fax from the advertising agency in Siberia!
Here, let me see it.
You'd think a grade school student...
would be easy to spot in a place like this.
If a grade school student was hiding, the best place would be...
someplace where he would blend in.
Yes. A group of grade school student visitors.
They're staying there?
Yes. I'll send you a photo of him. Thank you for taking care of this.
I feel bad that you're always the one treating us.
It's OK. Don't worry about it.
Kenta Takahashi?
I'm Katsuya Mori. I've come for you.
I thought I had four or five more days until they'd find me.
Disappearing amongst a group of visiting grade school students.
That was nice of them to let a stranger like you to stay with them.
We're all fellow kids.
Some of them weren't too happy about it, but I just paid them off.
What about the teacher in charge?
Whenever the teacher came, I pretended I was in another class.
I see. Why would a clever boy like you run away from home?
If you don't mind, tell me more about your situation.
Did you have a fight with your mom or dad?
It wasn't that.
I was rejected by the girl I like.
What is it? You're looking awfully serious.
I think it's time we clarify things between the two of us.
The two of us?
Rena...
Rena, will you marry me?
Rena?
Please, don't joke like that. You know we don't have that kind of relationship.
If I go to school, I'll have to face Yukari.
It'd be horrible. I'd feel so ashamed and embarrassed.
Mori, I know you're in there.
Come on, please answer me. We're all worried about you.
Mori. Come on, Mori!
And so I wanted to go someplace where no one knew me.
Mister?
Kenta!
Yes?
I used to be just like you!
What? You don't have the slightest clue who fired the shock gun?
No. Maybe Kenta hired a bodyguard.
I doubt it. He doesn't know you're looking for him, right?
That's right.
Yes?
I'll call you back later.
OK. Talk to you later.
Yes. I'm coming!
Kenta... Takahashi?
Yes.
You must be Maia Mizuki.
I'm Katsuya Mori, branch manager for Nereids' Siberia office.
I'm Maia Mizuki from the Kamchatka branch.
Oh, that's right! My business card...
Oh, don't worry about that.
I'm sorry, things have been kind of hectic.
Miss Mizuki.
Yes?
I'm entrusting you with Kenta.
Take him back to his parents in Kamchatka for me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going.
Oh, one more thing. Your boss is Rena Honjyo, right?
Yes.
I was hoping you could pass on a message to her.
Katsuya Mori wishes everyone well...
while he toils away day and night under the faraway skies of Siberia.
Farewell.
What was that all about?
I'm not quite sure myself.
But he said that his conscience had been awoken.
He said he'd regained his innocence when he saw me.
And that he was through being a rascal...
and from now on he would live an upright and honest life.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on!
The cause is unclear and...
it looks like it'll take 2-3 days to inspect it.
The appointment is for today! What are you going to do about this?
I sincerely apologize.
I'm sorry. Excuse me. Please forgive me.
Why are you taking the day off? I thought your wife was better.
I'm going with Yukari on a field trip today.
Please don't hold this against me. I'm begging you.
- Listen! We are swamped right now.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Continuing north at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour...
typhoon Pollyanna is approaching with a central atmospheric pressure of... Hurry dad!
920 hectopascals... Yes. Yes.
This way, sir.
All these common people...
Why are we here with these lowlifes?
I am very sorry.
Hey, Kenta. I'd like to take your picture, if it's all right.
I don't have a problem with that. Did my mom ask you to?
Yeah, when I informed your family, they told me...
they wanted to be sure that you were safe as soon as possible.
Why are they so worried? All I did was run away.
It's natural for them to worry, isn't it?
OK. Here we go.
Say "Kimchee".
You really don't do well on the hover car, do you dad?
So then, you never got a definite answer, right?
Yeah... but I don't think she likes me.
That's probably because you didn't make it clear how you felt.
You think so?
Why don't you try again and tell her exactly how you feel?
That way you'll know for sure.
Flight 451 just took off.
And you're sure our brothers are aboard?
I'm positive.
Good. Now get out of there.
Yes sir.
The target has left Siberia on flight 451.
Carry out the operation according to schedule.
I'll leave it to you to make decisions at the scene.
That's all.
Let's go.
We're going to be on flight 451 from Siberia. Maia
Shizuka, I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before, but...
That's Alexander Fujiyama, isn't it? The CEO of Fujiyama Technology.
Wouldn't someone that wealthy usually take a private jet?
Maybe it's someone who happens to resemble him?
All of the ocean cities are surrounded by these types of pillars.
These pillars perform a vital function for us to survive.
Inside the pillars, the waves are low.
But outside, as you can see, the waves are high.
These pillars are machines used for canceling out waves...
and are called "wave negation pillars".
And here we have the central control room...
which is where the wave negation pillars are controlled.
The people below control the pillars.
They are people like your parents who watch over the devices and equipment.
And now please take a look at the screen.
This is a simple explanation of how the apparatus works.
This line represents an actual wave.
The wave negation apparatus creates a separate wave in order to cancel it out.
The technical name for the blue wave is...
a "reverse phase wave".
Reverse...?
It seems simple when you look at the picture...
but in reality it is much more complicated than this.
Data is collected by sensors located around the ocean...
and then analyzed by computers.
Reverse phase waves are then emitted by the respective pillars.
Excuse me, what would happen if these machines broke down?
Planes would be unable to make water landings because of the high waves.
Am I wrong?
No... That's correct.
Hey!
We got what we came for. Now let's get out of here.
A storm?
What's going to happen if the planes can't land?
To Be Continued
Everyday before I fall asleep
You come to my mind and disappear
Your sweet voice and back
It was so adorable, that it made me cry
We used polite expressions when we fight
I hid my eyelashes that were wet with tears
I wish we could measure the distance of our hearts
I wanted to take a chance
My heart still burns with love for that precious time with you
Ever so painfully
I will forget about your last lie, so don't worry
Ah, I can't sleep
It's Maia.
I've learned a lot at Nereids.
Going undercover is a cinch! Being held hostage is nothing!
Falling down and getting blown away is just part of the job!
Nothing surprises me anymore!
However...
there's no way I can suddenly take over the controls of a passenger jet!
