01x08 - Nothing Seek, Nothing Find

[bunniefuu]

Papa Rei? G'morning.

Good morning.

Are you going out?

I had to go pee.

I'm heading home for a while.

But your home is here.

True.

Keep it down, you guys.

Huh? Did we have a job today?

No.

Come home soon, Papa Rei!

Today we're gonna—

Hey, Miri!

Shh!

Don't stay out too late, okay?

Have a good day!

Where'd he say he was going?

Home, he said.

Home?

His dad called him home, huh?

Well, saves us the trouble of
getting him out of the house.

Okay, Miri! Mission start!

Start!

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

As usual, the whole city

Is madly in love and excited

Extras like me just go home

But I'm not sulking at all

"And then you appeared suddenly

As though you were ripping
through those days

With your smile that leaves me numb

You shattered my heart

Hey, I want to love, is this true love?

Is just wanting to be loved insincere?

What should I do?

Oh, what should I do?

How the heck should I know?

I don't know what's going on in your head

But it's not fair that you're so friendly

Once again, I'm being
swallowed up by your rhythm

There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again

There you go, you've got me
wrapped around your finger again

Three years, huh?

Does Papa Rei have two homes?

Spray Whip

Sweetened Whipped Cream

Fresh Whipping Cream

Hoi-Hoi Whip

Light and [sweetened]

Decorate sweet treats!
Sweetened light and fluffy whip!

Delicious richness and flavor

Keep refrigerated

Already Whipped

Less sweet

Yeah, there's the house he
lived in with his dad before.

Papa Rei's papa?

Grandpapa?!

I guess that's what he'd be, sure.

I wanna meet him!

Sorry, can't.

How come?

Rei's dad is one diabolical dude.

Dia-bo-lical?

It's like scary.

Oh!

Hey, when Miss Anna teaches
us a song, it's diabolical!

Close your hands! Open your hands!

N-Not quite in the same way.

Forgive my long absence, Boss.

You seem well.

So, living among the little people
has taught you proper etiquette?

Kurusu Kazuki, was it?

He's a peasant, but I see
he's not entirely useless.

Still, his skills seem poor.

Is he the reason for the numerous
mistakes on your recent jobs?

The time may have come.

Return to this home.

So is Grandpapa mad at Papa Rei?

Did they get into a fight, maybe?

I think it goes a little deeper than that.

His family's got kind of
special circumstances.

Cir-cum-stan-ces?

Yeah, Rei's dad really
expected the world from him.

He was super strict teaching
him the family business.

So around the time I first met him...

He was sorta like a robot.

A robot?!

Did he combine? Did he sh**t beams?!

I don't... think so.

Aw. No beams?

I guess rebelling against his dad was
part of the reason he left home.

You think Papa Rei can
make up with Grandpapa?

Huh? Hmm, not sure...

If he did, I wonder if he'd go back.

The blood of the Suwa family
is the blood of assassins.

Among those who make their living in death,

it could even be considered noble blood.

Wherever there is light,
darkness inevitably arises.

Those who shine brightest require
the aid of the deepest darkness.

The Suwa family is the pinnacle
of that darkness, its sovereign.

And that blood flows through
your veins as well.

Carry on the family.

That is the reason for your existence.

That's what I raised you to do.

I've given you more than enough leash.

It's time for you to learn the business
of being head of the organization.

You don't like that?

The reason I allowed you
to live on the outside

was because of the oath you
took to return one day.

Yes, sir.

Did you find true belonging on the outside?

No...

You belong here with us.

It seems you've formed pointless ties.

Bad influences are common
enough in our business.

If one such influence has sullied
the Suwa family blood—

No.

Kazuki has nothing to do with this.

Please, give me time.

Need to tie up your affairs?

Finish this before the day is over.

I know this man.

He betrayed the organization.

You'd better not betray my expectations.

Yes, Boss.

Weather: Rain

\h\h\hheading for

Huh? You're gonna be late?

Sorry.

We've kinda got stuff planned here!

I wanna talk!

Sorry.

Papa Rei!

You finished your talk with your dad, right?

Phone! I want the phone!

Hello! Am I being heard?

Phone!

Sorry.

Hey! Hey! I wanna talk!

Could you say something other than "sorry"?

Don't hog it, Papa Kazuki!

Papa Rei!

Darn it!

Just be back by dinner!

I'm not sure—

We got pizza and fries!

Wait, hey!

And ca—

We'll be here! See you!

Sheesh. He won't tell me a single
damn thing that matters.

Papa Kazuki! It made the ding!

Hey, girl! No touching. It's hot.

So you're the heir to the great Suwa family?

Get in.

Weather: Rain
\hLocation: Downtown

That man.

You worked with him previously, I'm told?

He taught me how to use various weapons.

And how to do the job.

Why—

"Why did he betray the organization?"

A pointless question.

You should spend your
mental energy elsewhere.

Weather: Sunny
Place: In Town

Is this the reason?

He can wait all he likes,
but she won't be there.

Why do you k*ll?

For the Suwa family?

For fun?

What about you?

For the concept.

Concept?

A car exists to be driven.

Money exists to put form to desire.

g*ns exist to inflict v*olence.

So what does he exist for?

I look through the materials
and I wonder these things.

"What is this person's reason for being?"

"What will he see as his life
passes before his eyes?"

"What's the thing he cares
about more than anything?"

I speculate on the answers.

k*lling is a way of checking those answers.

Distasteful.

I have a favor to ask.

Tell me what he says just before he dies.

I collect last words.

I'd like to record his next to hers.

So you were the one following me?

How appropriate.

I'm here on a job.

Where is she?

I see.

Maybe if the boss loses you,
he'll understand a bit of how I feel?

No, probably not.

Well, let's see how you do.

Did your father tell you to
come back to the organization?

When you said you were leaving,

it really raised my estimation of you.

But I guess you're a Suwa
through and through.

Papa Rei just looks sad sometimes.

Nah, he's just got one of those faces.

Men are such a mystery.

Where'd you learn that phrase?

Sometimes Mama would be drinking
and she'd look happy but also sad.

Papa Rei's the same.

He looked all snappy today,
but he also looked sad.

That's why we're doing the party today.

We got all his favorite foods
to make him feel surprised.

You think he'll smile today?

Yeah, I bet he will.

But when's he coming back?!

Reminds me of old times.

I never once b*at you back then.

Acting as a mindless k*lling tool,

following the organization blindly,

not hesitating to turn
your blade on anyone...

You're truly the perfect assassin!

That's the law of the organization.

You know you can't ever leave it!

Of course a puppet wouldn't understand.

I found something worth protecting,

so I changed how I live!

That's it!

But you people stole the thing
I care about more than anything!

I have something worth protecting, too.

You'll never change either!

I'm on my way.

d*ed just like that?

A disappointment.

He wasn't as skilled as the rumors say.

Did he have any last words?

...hear them.

Eh?

I couldn't hear them.

Worthless.

Let's head back.

No. I'll stay here.

I'd have taken either one, you know.

His last words... or yours.

You'd better not betray my expectations.

Am I the same way?

I told you to get back.

Where are you right—

Sorry. Need some time to cool off.

Huh? Hey, wait—

You'll never change either!

I tried, for so long, not to think.

Just doing as I was ordered.

k*lling.

k*lling.

k*lling.

k*lling.

I...

Hey, damn it! What're you doing, dumbass?!

Kazuki?

There's no time. Get in!

No, I—

I don't wanna hear it!

Where's Miri?

Home.

You left her there?

No worries.

But we're short on time, so I'm gunning it.

How'd you know where I was?

Did you forget who set up your phone?

You're overprotective.

Miri was upset that you wouldn't come home.

You forced my hand, assh*le.

Miri asked all about you.

It took me back to old times.

Old times?

When Kyu-chan first introduced us,
you were such a mess.

Your room was full of garbage,
all your food was instant crap.

Unshaven, ungroomed, living like
a shut-in with dead zombie eyes.

Of course, you've still got
the shut-in part down...

Like you were any better, acting like
you'd caused all the world's misfortunes.

You were a useless load at work early on, too.

Huh?!

You never said anything before now!

You're right. I didn't.

I didn't think saying it
would change anything.

You didn't matter much to me.

But then you suddenly started cleaning.

I couldn't stand watching
you live like that.

I wanted to tell you to back off.

Yeah, I'll bet.

But...

It wasn't so bad.

Yeah, I'll bet!

Hey, Kazuki.

You think we can change?

Dunno!

I'm ba—

Oh, it was today.

Miri, Rei's back.

Miri helped with everything.

All day long.

Happy Birthday

She wanted to make you happy.

Oh, Papa Rei! Welcome home!

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday...

Hey! You did it, Miri!

He smiled!

Go on.

Sure.

Happy Birthday

Sorry, we're—

A request for info from the boss.

The organization trusts you.

The scenery never changes and
every day is full of surprises

But those are the best parts

Wrapped around your finger
and going in circles

These days are dizzying yet endearing

On your restless nights,
I softly whisper a lullaby

And stroke your hair to the
rhythm of your breathing

I just want these days to
continue as long as possible

Even if it's just a day

I chased after you as you ran barefoot

Maybe one day, you'll surpass me, ah

I wonder what tomorrow's going to be like

Why don't we walk together?

This will always be our place to come home to

And it'll shine down on our sadness

That's all right, yeah, that's okay

Let's try to share our love together

Let the light always shine upon hope

When the future is unpredictable
