I lived with my mother since my father left home 3 years ago. But when my mother died, I had nowhere to go. In my desperation, I joined a circus after receiving the senior members invitation. I spend my days dreaming about becoming an actress. However, my daily routine is filled with chores. I sometimes think about killing myself. Because of this, I can't go to school. I can't sleep at night, always worrying about my current situation. What is the best way to live my life? Mother... Its your breakfast. Wait here. You should behave. Be good now. These are Midoris. They are so cute. So delicious! Delicious! When was the last time we had meat? Feel free to eat, Midori. Delicious! Midori! Is it tasty? Yes! Very good! But How could you afford meat? I didnt buy it. It's not like you can buy dog meat anywhere. Dog meat?! Delicious! I don't care as long as its delicious. What's wrong, Midori? Its so delicious that she's crying. Youve done a good job. Mr. Dog! Mr. Dog! I want to go back home. How about buying flowers? Orchids, orchids, orchids! Dreaming Hibiscus in the first block. Sunflower Princess in the second block. Chinese Trumpet Vine in the third block. Willow Letter in the fourth block. My flower is a lost childs flower. Its home is nearby yet far away. It runs recklessly towards the darkness with closed eyes. Its an abandoned flower. Its Camellia. My mother... She is sick. My father... He left home. Hey, mister with the mountain-high hat! How about buying a flower? There are still a lot of them left today. But isn't this an artificial flower made from colored paper? Miss, would it be alright if I bought all of them? You can visit me anytime if anything is troubling you. There sure are a great many creepy guys prowling this area. Hurry back home as quickly as possible. Ah Mr. Moon is Mr. Moon is watching Stop tooting! What are you thinking?! You're always looking at the trains. Do you really want to go back to Tokyo that much? You have no place left to go. Midori is watching us with a surprised look on her face. Midori! Come here too! We dont need that kind of girl with a ribbon in her hair. I'll entertain you more than two girls could. You have a great body but a really tiny dick! Please let me lick your eyeball! Camellia Princess Camellia Princess You bums! Get out of our town! Its too cold to sleep alone. No. Go over there. I cant sleep either. Its too cold. Lets keep each other warm. No! I hate it! You smell weird. What are you talking about? We've already started. You've already been violated. Good. Done a great job. Cold! Cold! Why are you so surprised? If only my head could escape from this universe, I would still want to do it. Father? Father? Father Father! Father! Help me! Help me! Father! Suffer! Suffer! Nobody will come to your aid! Turn into a snake! If you can't be happy as a human being... being a bug will be the best option for you! Quite a fever! You don't have to work today. Hopeless! Whats up? It seems we are in a difficulty situation. What about our wages? You know I can't afford to pay you. Its not easy for me either. Thats it? Just like that? We've already been struggling for 3 months. What am I supposed to do? Could you give me a little at your discretion? I'm fine with just a little. What the hell? You know, your face looks like a butt! I can't do this anymore. We should find a job to make sure we survive. How about getting rid of one of them? We might have to sell you off since we dont have enough food. By the way, the boss said we're going to have a new member. Someone who can perform Western magic. I dont care who he is. Who would join this bankrupt circus? Must be a brave fellow. Hey, Midori! How about going somewhere else? You're infecting us. Stop coughing! Go over there right now. Maybe she brought the God of Poverty with her. It's all been downhill for us ever since she joined. I'm home. Mother, I have sold all my flowers! Mother, how are you? I'll fix you some egg soup tonight. I might be able to go on a picnic. A kind gentleman told me to visit him if I have any trouble. And then Mother! Mother! Mother! - What should I make for dinner - You are putting on weight Have you heard? Heard? Heard? There were mice under the blanket. At least on of them was inside her. I thought it was weird. Weird sounds were coming from there during the daytime. Her dead body should have been eaten by mice. Indeed. Thats too cruel to imagine. People laugh out loud, the cats move around... The lonely clown is spinning plates... Excuse me. Is the Red Cat Circus nearby? Well, that was quite fast, wasnt it? Looks like it went through customs, though. Nah, its quite warm in here. And I feel good about it. My name is Wonder Masamitsu. Nice to meet you. Please follow me for a tea, mister. Unfortunate things happen because of this useless car. Shut up and push! I'm grateful that this car has done many tours with us so far. Hey, Midori! Come here and help us. What a beautiful mirror. It's a memento of my mother. You must have been thinking about sad things. I will protect you from now on. Look. Its so pretty! Huh? Mister? Mister? Where are you? Where are you? Here I am. Come here. Wait! Club Tokyo Tokyo Olympics Showa 107 Grand Toei Theater A little patience, please! I can guarantee your entry. The Snake Girl Red Cat Circus Wonder Masamitsu Okay! Okay! Okay!

Mister, please take care of this. Mister! Wait, wait. I need an assistant for this work. Kanabun can help you. Midori? But she's too shy! Will you do this for me? Thank you for waiting for us. This is Midori, my assistant. That bastard is hogging all their attention. This isn't fun. I dont get it. I've seen it many times and I still dont understand it either. There's no trick... ...at all. Mister Mister You've done a great job. You! Why dont you fetch some tea for him? I'm fine. Just get Midori some warm milk. I was able to do a great performance because Midori helped me today. Thank you. You call her your assistant but she was just standing there. - What about the Milk? - Yes! Right away! - Hey! - What? Lets make this circus bigger and bigger. Bigger and bigger. Thank you. Before you arrived, I struggled a lot. My mother died. Everybody was mean to me. You shouldn't think about sad things. You will be alright as long as I'm with you. Its not snowing anymore.

What is this commotion? Thank you for you service. Using an unregistered beast is illegal. Is this beast registered? I forgot about it. You can't perform. - Well Please - We will report this to our superiors. You better prepare for it. Once we got a warrant, you can't escape.

Someone to see you. Please read my name card. - Oh Kamata Shochiku! - From the film studio! I really want you to be in a film. We are looking for a lead actress for our new feature.

I really want you to do it. You will definitely become a star. Once you become a star, you could eat delicious meals every day. Everybody would treat you well. Itd be foolish to reject this offer, Midori! - What the fuck are you doing? - Thats so mean! I'm Midori's guardian. I decide for her. Go home. Dont pick them up. It's probably fake. Its not fake! - We are... - Go home! Your turn, Midori. Prepare. I have a headache. Really? Youre lying. You are already mine! Listen to my command like an adult.

Understood! You used too much power. It was incredible, wasn't it?! I know! Thank you for your service. Why are you laughing? He did something terrible. Not a big deal. Their original bodies came back. It would have been better if they'd stayed that way. Idiot! What would we have done if people got violent after that mess? But they didnt. They just went home without any fuss. I wasnt sure they were actually alive. I want to see it again! We cant perform here anymore. Its worse than I expected. I quit. Thats too sudden! Please wait, mister! Why so sudden? I dont want to do this anymore. If my words offended you, I would like to take back what I said! What are you going to do after you quit? Mister! Mister! Mister!

They keep the place strict... ...yet loose in the daytime. Cut! Cut! Cut! How are you, Midori? Are you tired? I still have a lot of lines! They said they would treat me well.
