Whoa...!

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

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

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

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

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

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...!

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

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

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

Okay, thank you!

Shall we, Nyantaro?

Meow...

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

Aren't you gonna go with Mr. Inuyama?

Meow...

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

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

Friends...

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

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

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

Thank you!

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

Meow...

Oh, Nyantaro's walking that way...

Meow!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Y-Yeah...

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

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

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

Oh, here comes the drop!

I'm not... Scaaaaaaaared!

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

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

Hmm... I'll choose...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where to next, Nyantaro?

Meow.

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

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.

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

Meow.

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

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.

I see...

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

(Also...)

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

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

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

Meow.

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

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

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

Man, that was so much fun!

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!

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

And thanks for being such a great guide, Nyantaro.

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

Meow.

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

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

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

Oh, that looks like him.
Mr. Inuyama!

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

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

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

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

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

Oh...

The next stop...

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

This is actually the final stop.

What?
