Nene

Whoa...!

2

Tsukasa

Cats, cats, cats as far as the eye can see!
What a sight to behold...

3

Inuyama

Welcome to my cat-themed carnival, everyone. I call it Meow Park!

4

Airi & Mizuki

I-It's so cute...!!!

5

Mizuki

All the rides, attractions and snacks are designed to look like cats...!!

6

Airi

Hey, look! That shop's selling cat ears and hats and stuff...! They look way too cute...!

7

Airi

Oh, check it out. Isn't that Mikke there over in front of the big slide?! He's this carnival's mascot, so we gotta get a picture with him later...!

8

Nene

Wait, does the name Mikke come from “mikeneko”? He is based on a calico cat...

9

Inuyama

Haha. Anyway, I'll leave you all to it.

10

Inuyama

I'll be walking around the carnival for the most part, so let me know if you have any questions.

11

Tsukasa

Okay, thank you!

12

Inuyama

Shall we, Nyantaro?

13

Nyantaro

Meow...

14

Tsukasa

Hm? What's wrong, Nyantaro? Why are you coming over to me...?

15

Nene

Aren't you gonna go with Mr. Inuyama?

16

Nyantaro

Meow...

17

Mizuki

He's brushing up against your legs, Tsukasa...

18

Inuyama

Haha. I think he wants to play with you all some more. It seems you've become fast friends.

19

Tsukasa

Friends...

20

Tsukasa

Then, why don't we go around the carnival together...?!

21

Mizuki

That's a great idea.
It'll be super fun to see everything together!

22

Inuyama

Hehe. Go right on ahead, Nyantaro.
I hope you all have a wonderful time.

23

Tsukasa

Thank you!

Tsukasa

Now, which ride should we go on first...?

25

Nyantaro

Meow...

26

Nene

Oh, Nyantaro's walking that way...

27

Nyantaro

Meow!

28

Airi

He's looking back towards us.
I think he's trying to say, “This way”...

29

Mizuki

Haha.
Does this mean he's gonna be our guide?

30

Tsukasa

Oh, if that's the case...
Then let's all follow him!

31

Tsukasa

Show us where we should go first, Nyantaro... I mean, partner!

32

Airi

You're upgrading him to partner just like that...?

Mizuki

Oh, this roller coaster's so cute♪
Look at the rails! They're covered in cat paw prints!

34

Nene

Y-Yeah...

35

Airi

Look at that.
I'm a little scared, but at least the design is somewhat comforting...

36

Mizuki

Are you guys feeling okay?
What about you, Tsukasa? You went quiet all of a sudden.

37

Tsukasa

N-Nonsense! I don't feel scared at all.
Not one bit.

38

Mizuki

Oh, here comes the drop!

I'm not... Scaaaaaaaared!

Nene

You get to ride on cats for this merry-go-round. Which should I choose...?

41

Mizuki

I'm gonna ride the white one because it's got such an adorable bow on it!

42

Tsukasa

Hmm... I'll choose...

43

Tsukasa

Oh, this tabby... It looks just like Nyantaro.

44

Tsukasa

Alright, I'll ride this one...
Giddy up, partner!

45

Airi

You just keep making new friends at every turn, Tenma.

46

Mizuki

I really wanted this plushie.
Thanks for helping me get it, Kusanagi!

47

Mizuki

I didn't know you were so good at these kinds of shooting galleries.

48

Nene

I mean, it's not so hard once you get the hang of it...

49

Nene

But you were also really good, Akiyama.
I'm glad you got the prize you wanted...

50

Mizuki

It's because you were such a great teacher! Again, thanks♪

51

Tsukasa

Where to next, Nyantaro?

52

Nyantaro

Meow.

53

Mizuki

Hehe. It's really like he's guiding us around.

54

Airi

It's amazing how smart he is.
He's been waiting patiently outside while we go on rides and stuff. And once we get off, he starts leading us towards the next attraction.

55

Nene

He's also basically glued himself to Tsukasa...

56

Nyantaro

Meow.

57

Tsukasa

Still, I always thought carnivals only had simple or lower-quality rides and attractions. The ones here are surprisingly serious...

58

Airi

I read online that the ones here are all handpicked and really sturdy. They've apparently had pretty much the same lineup since the carnival first opened.

59

Tsukasa

I see...

60

Tsukasa

(In other words, these attractions have accompanied Mr. Inuyama to countless different places.)

61

Tsukasa

(Also...)

62

Children

Hey, let's go on the cat merry-go-round again!

63

Guests

The roller coaster was a little scary, but it ended up being really fun...!

64

Tsukasa

(They've put smiles on the faces of so many.)

65

Nyantaro

Meow.

66

Mizuki

Oh, he's calling to us.
I think he wants us to go on the big slide next.

67

Tsukasa

Yes, you're right.
Let's go, Akiyama, Nene, Airi Momoi!

68

Airi

Again, why do you keep calling me by my full name?!

Mizuki

Man, that was so much fun!

70

Mizuki

The Ferris wheel we went on at the end was so cute! Not only did the gondolas all have cat ears on them, they were covered in paw prints inside too!

71

Airi

Yeah, and you're able to see the whole carnival from the top. I can see why it's the most popular ride!

72

Nene

And thanks for being such a great guide, Nyantaro.

73

Tsukasa

Yes, we got to have our fill of fun thanks to you!

74

Nyantaro

Meow.

75

Airi

Hehe. We should come again sometime...!
Maybe we can ask Mr. Inuyama where they'll be touring next.

76

Tsukasa

Yes, we can also use this opportunity to thank him one last time.

77

Tsukasa

Based on what the staff told us, he should be by the gate bidding farewell to the guests.

78

Tsukasa

Oh, that looks like him.
Mr. Inuyama!

79

Inuyama

Hm? Ah, there you all are.
Thank you for visiting today. Did you all have fun?

80

Tsukasa

Yes, we did!
Quite a lot of fun, in fact!

81

Airi

The cat designs everywhere were all so cute...!
It honestly felt like bliss...!

82

Inuyama

I'm glad to hear that.
I did invest quite a lot of energy into this place.

83

Mizuki

Anyway, we were just talking about visiting again. Can you tell us where the next stop for your carnival is going to be...?

84

Inuyama

Oh...

85

Inuyama

The next stop...

86

Inuyama

I appreciate you saying that, but I'm sorry...

87

Inuyama

This is actually the final stop.

88

Tsukasa

What?
