What's that?
Geega-san asked if we could transport it for him.
Here.
Something personal?
Then why do we have to do the job?
Like I know...
You can ask why they made us do it after we get there.
Let's hurry.
Otherwise, it'll become a home delivery.
Yeah, yeah.
About tomorrow, Milady...
It's alright, Kimura.
The doctor said we should examine the situation for a little while.
That's a relief.
Ah, the Ryunka we've been following...
We won't be able to get to Geega.
But, that may make a good host.
Let's give it a try.
Huh?
What going on?
Tute, where's Geega current location?
He's left the office, and is en route to Mukojima.
So fast... What is this?!
Whoa... what the--
Hey!
Wait just a--
What's this?
Could you please be quiet for a moment?!
I'll be there shortly.
Hurry up.
I can't keep it up at my speed.
Jeez...
You're annoying!
Can't you be quiet for a while?
I'm falling! I'm falling!
I'M FALLING! I'M FALLING!!!
Where am I?
This place...
Why am I naked?
What the...
The boy has regained consciousness.
Who are you?!
Please do not be alarmed,
Senkawa Tsutomu-kun.
How do you know my name?
You should also open your eyes soon.
Me?
I'm already awake.
I was just thinking of the best time to interrupt the conversation.
What was that just now?!
Senkawa Tsutomu-kun,
As for today, you're pretty much-
Who are you? Where are you?
Hey!
What the hell is this?
Right now, I'm inside of you.
Well, not really...
The truth is,
It's more like, you're inside of me, you see.
What are you talking about?
Calm down,
I'm going to explain to you now.
What is this?!
Stay like that and look.
Nice to meet you, Tsutomu-kun.
I am Birdy Cephon.
I'm an investigator for the Space Federation Police.
Arita... Shion.
Ah, that's ... Uh...
That's a form I'm borrowing so that I can continue my investigation.
I'm currently chasing a certain criminal,
so I'm here on Earth for an undercover mission.
OK.
I'll get straight to the point.
The truth is,
I was following the criminal yesterday,
and then... you...
Uh, what are you saying?
In other words...
Tsutomu-kun,
In other words, you're--
Dead.
B-B-B-BUG!!
You are basically in a state known as 'Death'.
Senkawa Tsutomu-kun.
I am Officer Megius of the Space Federation Police's Special Investigations Unit.
As Birdy's commanding officer, please allow me to express my deepest regrets on this unfortunate incident.
Wait a-
However, you may rest easy.
Your body has been sent to a medical research institute on Econos-Quil...
and it will be completely reconstructed there.
Hold it...
For while, you might be troubled by this,
until then, your body will be that of Birdy's.
In other words, as Senkawa Tsutomu,
you will be able to live your life just as you have been until now.
Wait just a minute here!
I don't understand anything you're talking about!
Dead?
Regrets?
I'm still alive, aren't I?!
I guess it's hard for you to believe what I'm saying, eh?
Like I told you before,
A bug that talks is already something hard to believe.
Because of your interference,
Geega managed to escape.
How do I know?
What are you talking about?
Like I said...
I'm falling! I'm falling!
I'M FALLING! I'M FALLING!!
Big Bro,
I've brought the car around for you.
Yeah, mah sparklin' Benby.
Where is it, mah Benby?
Big Bro! Big Bro!
Hey, it can't be...
Mah... Benby...
Aaahhh...
Tute...
...where is Geega?
Unfortunately,
I've lost him.
What's with that?
Are you saying it's my fault?
It's obvious, isn't it!?
I was suddenly thrown into that high-speed chase,
...the hell am I supposed to stay calm!?
Please get her out!
I don't know anything about aliens or whatever,
but I absolutely refuse to have someone else inside of me!
Tsutomu-kun,
you seem to have misunderstood one thing.
Your body is...
What's this?
Isn't that body dead!?
Indeed,
because of that incident,
we've put your consciousness inside Birdy's body.
Your life is being preserved by Birdy's body.
It's not that Birdy is inside of you.
Rather, it is you who is inside Birdy.
Until your body is completely reconstructed,
Your life-force and consciousness,
has no place outside of Birdy's body.
This is a nightmare.
I sympathize.
You must be completely tired.
I no longer have the energy to be surprised.
In that case,
allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Tute.
I'm Birdy's partner.
As for this incident,
I feel that I, too, am responsible.
If there's anything I can do,
please feel free to call me any time through Birdy.
Until then.
It's definitely a nightmare.
Don't be so depressed.
I do feel guilty, you know.
Hey...
Tsutomu-kun?
It's the same morning as usual.
The beginning of another peaceful day.
The familiar scenes that I had always seen.
It was a bright morning.
Yet my heart aches.
Because I...
...am already dead.
I said "I'm sorry" and apologised so many times already, didn't I?
They say "even though you're a man" on Earth, right?
Even though you're a man, you're being quite bitchy, you know!
Well, you don't get to say that to me!
Anyway,
is there any other way we could talk to each other, like telepathy or something?
If we did that,
our minds will begin to fuse.
Practice talking in your mouth.
What, you mean like ventriloquism or something?
Yo!
Why are you mumbling to yourself so early in the morning?
Hayamiya!
You surprised me!
What?
You seem cranky this morning.
Something happened?
Nothing special.
Had another one of your weird dreams again?
Something like that.
Truth be told,
I'm feeling quite messed up myself.
Being like that doesn't suit you.
Be your usual self.
Hayamiya!
Morning, Kitamura!
Did something happen?
Didn't you hear? About what happened to Nakasugi?
Did something happen to Nakasugi?
She was in an accident yesterday!
Nakasugi-san...
was admitted to the same hospital she usually goes to.
I hope...
her injuries aren't too serious.
Why don't you go visit her?
You girls are pretty close together, right?
Talking as though it's a funeral,
you sure that's a good thing to do?
Even if you're pretending, don't go and say such things!
It would be natural if it was a dead person.
Yeah,
then you burn it in a ritual.
Yeah, ritual means cremation.
That's why,
you burn it till it turns to ash...
No, about what I said...
Senkawa!
Why you...
Wait...
there's a deep reason why I said those things!
People like you.....!
Now, now...
In any case,
let's all go visit her today.
Okay?
Right now, she has regained consciousness.
But she's still in a critical condition.
Even though we're doing everything we can,
I must ask you to prepare yourself for the worst.
Are you sure?
No doubt about it.
My nose is the best in the universe.
That was definitely the smell of an Altarian.
Then the Ryunka?
Yeah. I'm certain that bastard Birdy took it with her.
Damn!
I specifically used people from this planet!
How could she have seen through it?!
Don't get so fired up, Bro.
Your arm's busted and you can't do anything,
so I'll get it back for you.
They haven't found out yet what I look like.
It doesn't matter if she's a Berserker Killer or whatever.
In exchange, can I eat her?
I'm so hungry that I just can't help it!
Yes,
This is Iruma Agency.
We're always indebted to you.
Eh, Arita Shion?
Yes,
I think that'll be fine...
Just as I thought, she's free.
Yes.
A television appearance? I'm afraid that's a little...
There's make-up involved?
If that's the case, then I think it can be arranged.
So, 5 p.m...
at Ihata Studio?
Thank you very much.
Oh, I too, would like to thank you very much.
Ah, Ryou-chan.
Yo.
You came?
She's our classmate after all.
Now, now...
Having more than one more person is good enough. It's for Nakasugi.
Speaking of which,
isn't Senkawa late?
That guy...
he told me he'd be on time!
Gosh, you're slow! We're late, we're late!
I'm sorry de arimasu~.
Now, Shion,
being punctual is everything in this business!
Yes, de arimasu~
Hey.
What de arimasu~?
Don't "What de arimasu~" me!
What about the hospital visit?
I'm supposed to go see Nakasugi with everyone!
What's wrong?
Tsutomu is in a bad mood because of Tute's sudden change of plan!
That's what it means to be talented and involved in show business!
That's how tough this world is!
Now, let's get going.
How am I supposed to survive like this, you guys?!
Little girl,
what is the matter?
I... it's the effect of my disease!
"Well, that can't be good!"
...says the wild man that will help her.
He then gets hit by the villain, who takes the village girl away.
That's the extent of your part, but...
Everyone's late...
That's odd. The filming should've started at 5 p.m...
Tute!
Birdy, be careful.
It's a blaster.
Oh...
It seems I missed.
Who are you?
You're handing over the Ryunka to me!
Or... would you rather get eaten by me?
Baccilus!
Don't you dare look at me with those eyes!
Following Geega around...
just what are you planning to do,
Baccilus?
Have you modified your body so much,
that it's messed with your memories as well?
You're the one that's gonna hand over the Ryunka!
I have no idea what the hell you're saying!
Ugh...what the hell is he?
One of the most wanted criminal in the Federation, Baccilus.
He's a parasite that latches on to other beings.
After doing that,
he gains their memories and knowledge.
That's an alien too?
That's right.
But that body he's using actually belongs to an Earthling,
who is probably...
What a pain in the ass!
I guess I'll just eat you.
That's right...
If I eat you,
I'll find out where the Ryunka is!
Eww, gross!
What are you trying to do, Birdy?
Hurry up and escape.
Birdy!
Like hell I'm gonna be eaten!
I'll eat you!
Amazing...
That woman is definitely...
Arita Shion, isn't she?
I'm in such a bad shape...
Hey, you sure this is going to be OK?
Just be quiet!
That damn investigator...
This isn't good...
I have to escape!
There you are!
There's no doubt about it this time.
Oh, shit!
Birdy!
There's someone!
There's someone collapsed down there!
I'll come back for you after I change bodies.
You're not getting away!
Are you going to kill again?
You're going to let the number of people like me increase?
Don't worry,
he's just unconscious.
It's Muroto-san!
Ohh,... crap.
He's an acquaintance of yours?
Muroto Keisuke.
He's an OB from my school,
but he's also a journalist.
Suspicious...
Birdy,
there are people coming here.
Let's go.
Okay!
You idiot!
You actually dare show your face here?!
I'm sorry, Big Bro.
Dammit!
We have to do something quick!
If Shyamalan or Gomez find out we don't have the Ryunka...
What is it?
Big Bro...
I'm at my limit using this body...
Help me...
I'm starving... I'm starving...
Wait a minute!
SENKAWA!
Hayamiya!
Just what were you thinking?
You didn't come to visit her yesterday!
I couldn't even reach you on your phone!
Are you seriously that cold-hearted?!
No...
I have a few things to deal with at the moment.
Anyway, about Nakasugi... how is she?
About that...
Nakasugi!
Good morning, Hayamiya!
Thank you so much,
for visiting me yesterday!
Are you sure you're fine?
Yeah, totally fine!
You're a really lucky girl!
Now isn't that a relief?
Seems like there's nothing to worry about.
Don't you say it.
Don't be so mad.
We're going to be together for a while.
Like you guys always say... what was it?
Two something... two, two something...
What was it again?
Two bitter enemies are destined to be in the same boat.
Yes!
That's it, that's it!
So let's be nice to each other!
Don't be joking!
This is Arita Shion de arimasu~
Birdy-san and Tsutomu-kun's "Two Hearts in One Body" lifestyle
is definitely interesting, right?
But, Tsutomu's mood is rather weird de arimasu~
But for Shion,
that's what makes Tsutomu-kun cute de arimasu~!
Oh yeah!
This time, Geega who's been eaten by Baccilus,
comes to attack Birdy-san!
I don't want to become all soft and jiggly desu~!
And there's another thing...
that becomes a problem as well!
