Adapted by Komo Ushino, character design by Nanna Fujimi
The fallout of the soirée means Victoria is on the radar of the Royal family of Ashbury, and that’s not exactly where a spy in hiding wants to be. She starts some light fighting training with Nonna, mostly self-defense and the art of running away spiritedly. Later, she starts a new job tutoring Captain Jeffrey’s nephew, who has gone through many tutors and has gotten the reputation of being a difficult child. Victoria teaches both Nonna and her new charge and her teaching methods integrate the power of play as much as possible despite this coming across to observers as unconventional teaching methods.

After a car accident strands a father and his daughter, they find themselves on a farm with anthropomorphic animals who are very welcoming and accommodating. The niceties are dispensed fairly quickly, however, when they reveal that their farm is raising humans for their consumption. They set the father and daughter outside for a hunt as the animals chase them down with guns and hunting “humans” trained like traditional hunting dogs. The village surrounding this farm is full of further animals with jobs sustaining a small society all for the sake of raising quality humans, dedicated to preparing delicious dishes from much of the slaughtered person, and respecting the life that was given for the sustenance.
 This family-centric story starts with Ao being released from the hospital for the third time. His parents worry he will get sick again and also want him to enjoy life. They come home to a new house they have prepped with a scavenger hunt for him to find seven stickers that leads Ao to explore their new home. Ao wants to have freedoms of other well children. A new bicycle gives Ao access to friends and life outside of the hospital, but concerns for Ao's mom as to Ao's safety. Cryptic postcards start up showing at the home foretelling events that will happen tomorrow unless they are stopped. We don’t know who is sending them or who the postcards are for.
