The Promised Neverland (約束のネバーランド)

Join forces?

Don't worry, everyone. Everything's fine.

We'll hear you out.

That's right.

We should cooperate together so we can achieve our goals.

You all want to escape.

I want to become Mom of this House.

I want to drag Isabella down from her position as Mom,

and seize that position for myself.

Mom's position?

Just to clarify, those are my true intentions.

I also want to break free from this situation.

Do you know about the management system here?

Girls who fulfill certain conditions and live until 12 years old

are presented with two paths when they're about to be shipped.

To continue and die, or aim to become a Mom.

What are the conditions?

Scores above a certain number and the Mom's recommendation.

If you can meet these two requirements, you can survive without escaping.

- If you're a girl. - A girl...

But I don't recommend it.

Your body will never be able to leave this area.

What is that?

There's a chip inside.

If an adult steps one foot outside of the farm,

an electrical current will be sent through this and their heart will stop.

At the same time, if something else makes their heart stop,

then it acts as a transmitter that notifies the higher-ups.

So we couldn't kill the adults after all.

I can only live inside the farms.

That's why I want to live the best possible life here.

As a Mom. Even if it's fake, it's a life for humans.

But to get that, Isabella is in the way.

If you all escape, she will be blamed.

I won't get in your way.

Escape. That will become a benefit for me.

You're not going to ship us out?

I won't.

Let's cooperate!

Let's work together.

Wait.

Let me verify one thing with Sister.

What is it?

What's your guarantee that you won't betray us?

You won't trust me?

Just answer!

It's Ray.

If Ray tells this to Mom, you can crush me.

But if I tell Mom that Ray's been a double agent, I can crush him.

That's why neither of us will betray the other.

We can't.

That's fine, right?

Okay.

Then we have a deal.

I'll also share any other information that only I know about.

It's proof of my friendship.

Why don't you come to my room tonight?

She wants to live the best possible life, huh?

She was even one of us, too.

She doesn't care at all about the lives of us children!

But she said she won't ship us out.

It's not that she won't. She can't.

If she really wanted us to escape, she just needs to assist us quietly when the time is right.

She's showing us her cards only because she wants to gain our trust.

Why does she want our trust?

She wants evidence that shows our rebellion.

In other words, she's in a position where the higher-ups

won't trust her without reliable evidence.

Unlike Mom, she doesn't have the authority to ship us out.

Evidence...

Hey, what if she finds the rope we hid in the tree?

It's fine. We can say various excuses to explain the rope.

Like we were going to use it to play with. But—

We're doomed if she finds the equipment that breaks the tracking devices.

That's reliable evidence that we can't make excuses for.

Don't worry. I won't make that kind of mistake.

Besides, it's not finished yet.

If we have her believe that we don't know where the tracking devices are, or how to break it,

there shouldn't be an issue.

I'm sure Sister would believe us if we play the cards correctly.

Are you really going to go?

You're dealing with that Sister Krone!

It sounds nice that she'll tell us anything we want to know, but...

Rather, why do we have to join forces with her?

Does it give us an advantage?

If we use her well, we might obtain some information.

And that's one less person getting in our way.

Then we can focus on investigation.

It'll be okay.

We have to use every opportunity we can.

Ray, can I talk to you?

I want to discuss the steps for the investigation.

Sure.

I have a favor to ask you two.

What do you want to know? Go ahead. Ask me anything.

Really, anything?

Yes. Whether it be about the farm or about the headquarters...

Then...

Show us that thing.

The tool that receives the signal from our tracking devices.

Sure. Here.

See? Doesn't it look simple?

It only shows the current location but can't specify who it is.

So you knew about the tracking devices?

Yes. Mom showed us once.

But I don't know where it is or how to break it.

Sister, do you know?

Yes. They're located in your ear.

The left ear. Around here.

I don't know how to break them.

But if it breaks, it sends out a signal.

To that thing, and also to headquarters.

You'd have to take it out. Or cut it off.

But there are no decent blades in the House.

There's a scalpel. For medical use.

Once we're outside, there's no medicine.

When we escape, I don't want to take risks with blood loss or infections.

The infirmary is equipped with medicine and tools.

Anesthesia, too.
