Miraculous Flight Maximillion

Berry Big Circus

Uh, Maya...

Is this circus really popular?

What are you saying? It's so thrilling!

Yes, but not in the right way.

Well, just watch...

The main event is something else!

Really?

Oh, here we go.

We've kept you all waiting.

Today's final event will be a miraculous flight through the sky.

The twenty-first century's greatest magician,

Maximillion Galactica!

Max!

Max!

Look, he disappeared!

Look, he flew again!

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous!

Okay, this is awesome.

Gorgeous!

Come on, our files are flying away.

You say "files," but they're all bills and receipts!

Turnabout Big Top — 1st Trial

We haven't had any clients lately...

I'm bored.

I know!

Why don't you try flying, too?

Jump out this window!

I'll pass. They'll think I committed suicide over financial difficulties.

Tsk, you're no fun...

Killer Circus Act Appears!!

Reporting live from Berry Big Circus,

a murder scene more sensational than the circus!

No way.

The culprit is none other than Max Galactica.

Suspect Maximillion Galactica

A killer circus act performed by a popular magician, using magic!

Killer circus?

Why are you just sitting around?

Let's go.

Max would never do something like that!

Welcome to the magician's room.

It's the real deal, Nick...

Yeah, it's the real deal, all right.

And?

What did you want?

We're here to defend you!

Defend?

You make it sound as though I'm under arrest.

W-Well, you kind of are.

I'm Maximillion Galactica, you know?

Right!

The very big star at the Berry Big Circus.

Right.

I'm paid fabulous sums.

So?

You're pulling my magic wand!

No, I'm not.

Jesus! Why me?!

He hadn't noticed? You're pulling my attorney's badge.

Oh, no!

Ah, Jesus!

Doesn't look that way.

Anyway, tell us what happened last night.

The ringmaster was murdered.

It was after a group rehearsal.

Around 10:30 PM.

The police presence was gorgeous.

Just so you know, it wasn't me, honey.

Yeah! It wasn't you, right?

But why were you arrested?

Who can say?

Probably because I was the last to see him before he was murdered.

Is that so?

Well, we were having a chat about my salary.

I'm the one drawing all the crowds to the circus.

I figured I should be compensated likewise...

But he left before we were done.

Sorry, Max. Do you mind waiting for me here?

Heading out this late?

I'll be right back.

And he left, never to return...

I wonder what the ringmaster had to do.

Beats me.

Anyway, you're an attorney?

Get me out of here already!

Sure, leave it to us, Max—

Give me some time to think.

We'll come again, Max.

FC Noodles

What was that all about, Nick?

Playing hard to get and all!

Well, eat up.

I can't defend someone I don't fully trust.

What the heck?

You're saying you can't trust Max?

Anyway, just eat up.

Frankly, it's all really fishy.

I mean, he's an anything-goes magician.

Say what? You're...

You're an anything-goes attorney!

I don't wanna hear that from an anything-goes spirit medium.

First, we investigate.

Hmph!

Investigate?

Thanks for the food.

Wait up!

Public Entrance

This is kinda exciting, huh?

Maya, we're here for work today.

A monkey?

Hey! Catch him!

What's going on?

Nick!

Regent!

T-T-T-Tiger!

Tiger?!

Regent, stay.

Come here.

Thank you.

That's Leon's costume.

Oh, this?

Here.

Money really loves shiny stuff!

The monkey just now?

Yep.

And he takes it all back to his home!

Money the monkey loves shiny stuff...

Hey, aren't you Regina, the animal trainer?

Yep!

I'm Regina!

An attorney?

Yeah, we're here to investigate yesterday's incident!

Incident?

Oh, the one where my daddy died?

Daddy?

I don't really know much about it.

After last night's practice, I was playing with Regent in this tent.

Sorry.

No, we're the ones who should be sorry.

We didn't know he was your father...

Huh? Why should you be sorry?

I'm perfectly all right!

I mean, my daddy became a star in the sky!

A star?

He taught me that everyone becomes a star in the sky after they die.

Leon's also up there, so Daddy shouldn't be lonely!

A lion...

Right?

It's pretty cold out, huh?

Yeah, the snow's still piled up.

So this is the crime scene.

Huh? It's you two!

Ah, Detective Gumshoe!

Hello—

Don't tell me, you pals...

Yeah!

We're defending Max, pal!

I knew it, pal...

Could you tell us about the case?

Sheesh, are you the only attorney in the world?!

I could say the same about you and detectives.

It was last night, around 10:00 PM.

In this courtyard, facing the lodging house.

The victim was killed on the spot by a blow to the noggin...

What's this wooden box?

We're trying to find that out now.

It was really heavy, and it was locked.

Also, we found this at the crime scene...

That's Max's hat!

Indeed! A one-of-a-kind magician's silk hat!

Finding it lying here settled the case.

Don't jump to conclusions!

Of course, that's not all.

This photograph only shows the victim's footprints!

It's true. Then how did the culprit...

He murdered the victim without leaving footprints behind.

Only one man in this world is capable of such a feat...

Yes, it's Max Galactica, the great magician!

After all, he can fly!

That's it, pal.

The killer flew?

Public Entrance

Nick, now we've gotta find others who can fly!

Is that how it works?

Huh? The magician did it, obviously.

Acting like he owned the place...

It's gotta be Max.

He ridiculed my act, calling it dated.

What a jerk!

Max did it.
