Shh! Stop that. Not today!
I'm not taking you on a walk. Please stop it!
Cut it out, you dumb dog!
Never put off until tomorrow what you decide to do today...
Clouds inevitably follow sunshine.
Master, I, Nono, am leaving.
Well, live a full, long life!
I don't think I've ever seen God.
If God had something to wish for...
to what would He have to pray for it?
Even if you gaze up at the starry sky every night with a wish in your heart...
there's no telling when a falling star will come.
So, by saying that wishes come true if you wish upon a falling star...
that basically means that wishes never come true, right?
But... my wish will come true.
Because, I've...
Because, I've been waiting for this falling star!
Was I so dumb I ran away from home...?
The slightly salty miso soup every morning... The winding, hilly road to the library...
The crunching sound when stepping into the first frost...
The scent of the stream...
I loved all of that, but...
Hmm?
Oooooh!
I've finally made it this far.
I, Nono, am gonna become a space pilot, no matter what!
That's because...!
C'mon, Manager. You can't make a space pilot scrub floors like that!
Quit teasing around.
Nono-chan, you're still goin' for that?
Of course. A space pilot.
Sir, I've heard you've been out into space before...
- Kinda, yeah. - Really?!
It was a school trip, though.
Oh, so you were just a tourist.
It's hard to impress a real space pilot, isn't it?
She's a child, you know. She'll take you seriously.
Well, your daddy here's gonna take ya out to space.
Hup!
B... Boss, watch out!
Now, now, you're walking in space! How's this?
I'll bet even those fleet guys from the Space Force couldn't do stuff like this so well!
Cut it out, please! No! Not there, anywhere but there...!
Please stop it!
Sir, you're creating trouble for us. This will lead to an audit by the agency!
P... Please quit it! Please!
Sir, won't you stop it there? Sir?
Wha...?
Ow-ow-ow...
Please stop! Quit it, please!
Don't! Stop! Not there!
Ow-ow-ow... Hm?
Wh... Wha... Wha... What was that?!
A Topless... Never seen that before.
A Topless?
That customer just now. What kind of person is she?
...A real space pilot.
EEH?!
Wait! Please, hold on!
Please insert your ID card into the slot.
Onee-sama!
Huh?
Onee-sama!
Hm?
I've finally managed to catch up with you!
Ah, the girl from before.
Thank you so much for saving me! I, Nono, was so moved!
Just the spirit of cooperation.
Yes! That's true. You're so great, Onee-sama!
Huh?
If you're ever in trouble, Onee-sama, I, Nono, will be sure to help you out!
Who's "Onee-sama?"
I just know I will!
Is that so.
Onee-sama, you're a space pilot, right?
- What? - A space pilot!
You don't recognize this uniform?
It's so cool! And moe-moe, too!
It's of the Fraternity's space monster interception squad.
I, Nono, want to join that, too!
I want to become a space pilot like you and protect the people!
That's because...!
That's because I want to be like Nono-Riri!
Nono-Riri is someone who...
I've got no idea who that is, but...
Eh?
Too bad. You wouldn't make it.
I'll stick it out with hard work and guts!
I don't need that stuff.
The only people who can fight together are those who are acknowledged as Topless.
Hey, Princess...
Princess Lal'C.
How's it feel to be back in the lower world after so long?
Like I drew the short straw.
It's cold, the air's all thin, it smells all funky...
and there are no sea birds at all!
There's no way you'll find one there.
I know that. Plus, what we're looking for may not have ever been here.
The prediction this time is from the Serpentine twins.
Their accuracy's been dropping lately...
Ooh, you went there! But I've predicted it, too.
When?!
Don't yell!
Besides that, the Navigational Safety Bureau just issued a report...
confirming that they've sighted suspicious meteorites.
A space monster has got to be there.
Lucky you! Now you'll be a shoo-in for the top kill count again this month, Princess.
Geez... There's no holding a candle to the Curve Wrecker... Mew.
Vectoring field 9, minus 1...
Nono-chan? What about the diner?
Aah!
Your manager got worried and drove out looking for you.
Sorry about before, I didn't mean anything by it.
C'mon, forgive me! C'mon, please?
What's this thing?
Yo-ho!
- Whoa! - Huh?!
- What the hell?! - Hey, it's coming this way!
I'm gonna try to capture it. Back me up!
Surround it from both sides. Let's move!
- Captain! - It's airborne!
HEY! Damnit!
What the hell is this thing?!
Keep down!
You're not injured, right? Good.
Yes, Onee-sama!
It's that Topless from earlier... This thing... A space monster?!
I haven't seen this type before. A new species, maybe?
Dix-Neuf! Come!
A Buster Machine!
That's it?
"Buster Machine, Dix-Neuf"
Let's make a quick work of it.
- You too, hurry up and get out of here. - Onee-sama!
You'll get in the way!
Let's go, Dix-Neuf. Activate physical canceller.
Exotic Maneuver!
Incredible... Is that the ether sparkling?
That's...
A power of Topless...
Onee-sama, you're so cool!
Nono-chan! Hey, over here!
- Heeyy! - Manager!
Manager?!
Manager!
Nono! Stay back!
I'll get you out of there right away!
No, you dummy! Hurry up and get out of here!
What is she doing? I told her she was in the way!
Forget it, Nono. You won't budge it!
No! Nono-Riri would never give up!
Try to be realistic here! There are things in this world that you just can't do!
The space monster is waking up. Give it up!
I'll save her, no matter what!
I'll save her! And then... I'll go out into space!
Because, Nono-Riri would...
No, Dix-Neuf! Don't let it get away!
"4th Planet in the Sol System"
"Mars."
Buster...
BEAM!
Onee-sama!
Onee-sama, you did save me again!
She's... alive?
Thank you so much, Onee-sama!
What on Earth is this girl...?
That's how we met, you and I...
"Satellite Base Meganebula"
Good job, Princess. Come right down on deck #4.
Casio, that's the one from before?
Looks like it. An unregistered android.
An android? You are?
We don't see them much in home territory, right?
Doesn't matter. Nicolas secured permission for this landing.
So how long has it been since the girl got on board?
4 months or so.
I'm taking care of her on orders from you twins. What's behind it?
The new space monster which showed up on Mars that time...
it's highly likely that it came after that robot-girl.
Isn't that right, dear sister?
Mmm, Titan crab is just delicious!
Many in the military believe it's the existence of Topless that triggers the space monsters' attack.
Could that android be...
Don't make a fuss, Nicolass. We have another favor to ask.
Make sure to bring that robot-girl on with you for Titan excavation operation this time.
We want a taste of her.
Then your dinner will be served, as promised.
The Topless power will be lost once we grow up...
Before the day comes, I must...
That's Saturn?!
"6th Planet in the Sol System, Saturn"
I must apologize for my long silence.
I'm writing this letter on a spaceship heading to Titan.
You must be very surprised...
because I left home without asking you.
But please don't worry.
I, Nono, am doing fine as a trainee pilot of the Fraternity.
What pleases me the most is that I met my Onee-sama, Miss Lal'C.
She's so cool, so strong, so nice. Onee-sama is such a fabulous person.
Now I, Nono, and Onee-sama came to be the Fraternity's... Ah!
