Napping Princess Page #3

---

Yes.

Yes.

(suspenseful music)

It's dark in here.

- [Henchman] Mr. Watanabe, is this it?

- [Watanabe] You idiot!

That's just a whiteboard.

- [Henchman] Very sorry, sir.

(phone vibrates)

THE TABLET'S WITH MOM.

DON'T LET THEM HAVE IT.

Why didn't you tell me that earlier?

This is not good.

Huh?

Hmm.

(floor creaking)

That stuffed dog.

It's here!

Hey, I found it!

Joy!

Kokone, hey are you home?

We heard the police had

taken in Uncle Momo.

My dad was worried and

wanted me to make sure

you're all right.

He's gonna come over

later with Officer Kijita.

Tell Takamatsu Airport

to have a company jet

ready for immediate takeoff.

Yes.

I need you to stay behind

to capture the girl.

Understood, sir.

What exactly are you doing?

Nothing important.

Morio, can you drive a motorcycle?

Why?

Where are you going?

Well, can you drive one or not?

Yeah, but my license

is only good for cars.

That's good enough.

(engine revving)

Start driving.

Wait, what?

Don't worry.

Look, if you can drive a car

then you should be fine.

To Takamatsu Airport.

What's this about?

Come on, just step on it already!

Hey. you there!

(screaming)

Nice work, Morio!

What was that?

What did you hide?

It was nothing.

It's the truth, see?

Shouldn't we call Officer Kijita now?

We can't.

We have to get Joy and the tablet back

before those guys get on a plane.

Then we can reach out

to Officer Kijita, okay?

(engine revving)

Hey Kokone!

Make sure you keep

the engine running!

There he is!

Mr. Watanabe!

Your bag!

Oh?

Ah!

(dramatic music)

Uh?

Go around now!

What?

Come back here!

Kokone Morikawa, stop!

How did she even find me here?

Kokone!

Nice save, Morio.

You really are just as

tough as your dad is.

Dammit!

Hold the jet.

We are not letting her get away.

Yes, sir.

It's me.

How did the girl end up here?

- [Henchman] I nearly

grabbed her at the house

but she was with some boy.

I swear there was--

You moron!

Why didn't you call me

and tell me right away?

- [Henchman] Well, because I

thought it'd make you upset.

Her father must still have a phone on him

so tell the police.

And I'll need full cooperation

from the local authorities.

Also you tell them that his daughter

has fled with the evidence.

(sigh)

DON'T TRUST THIS BAD GUY

Apparently I'm the bad guy. (snickers)

You're back, what a relief.

I'm glad you're okay.

This doll, it belonged to my mom.

(alarms blaring)

Morio, let me use your cellphone.

I should call Officer Kijita.

He can pick us up in his patrol car.

Huh?

What exactly will we tell

him is happening right now?

He shouldn't have a

problem giving us a ride.

If those guys can use the cops, so can we.

Can you find out whether or not

we can get in touch with my dad on this?

That guy stole my phone and I don't have

any of my dad's contact info memorized.

Hello, Officer Kijita?

Yes, I'm with Morio.

I have a good reason but he and I

are in Takamatsu right now.

Would you be able to come and pick us up

in your patrol car please?

So he was using his tablet to modify cars.

What do you think?

Can we reach my dad on that thing?

I don't think so.

He only used this for repair

and modification diagnostics.

There's no address book.

It's got a decent internet

connection though.

Oh well.

Officer Kijita might have your dad's info.

No, they see each other all the time

so they never need to email or text.

So much for that then.

There's an alert.

(phone ringing)

That's from clad!

I think this app connects to some

kind of private message board,

one that's only used by a

bunch of auto mechanics I guess.

Hey, if we post a message

for your dad on here

maybe he'll be able to

see it on his phone.

Great idea.

Dad, are you okay?

Where are you now?

That bearded guy showed up.

He stole my cellphone and the tablet

but I was able to get the tablet back.

I don't have your number or email,

so I hope that I could

reach you through this.

And send!

But why do those guys

even want this old tablet?

I don't know.

Mr. Sukomoto, I need to have

a word with you outside.

It looks like something to me.

Hey!

We got a call from Shijima Motors.

It looks like your

daughter just disappeared

with the tablet in question.

She did what?

Tell your daughter to turn herself in

and to return the item that you stole.

Listen to me, all right?

I told you the real crook

here is Shijima Motors.

They want my code but not just a copy.

They're after the original files now too.

What are you doing?

Seeing if that bearded guy's stuff

might have some clues about anything.

Shijima Motor Corporation?

What's the kanji say?

How are you a high school senior?

It says he works at

Shijima and that he's some

kind of executive director.

Ichiro Watanabe.

Wow, he's a senior exec at Shijima Motors.

Shijima Motors?

Oh come on.

Shijima Motor Corporation

is only one of Japan's

leading automakers.

You seriously never heard of them?

Say what you want but Morikawa

Motors is probably better.

Wait, that reminds me.

What of?

I'm pretty sure that my mom's

maiden name was Shijima,

just like that company.

Not that it does anything for us.

If you don't mind my asking,

how did your mom pass away?

Dad just said she died in some accident.

(yawning)

Officer Kijita won't be here for a while

so in the mean time I'm gonna take a nap.

A nap, what, right here?

It's cold out, so you

may as well stay close

but no groping in my sleep.

I wasn't gonna!

(calm music)

Kokone?

Morio's here?

Wait, who are you?

My name is Ancien.

But actually it's me, Kokone.

Hey, we got an emergency.

- [Morio] Officer Kijita?

And dad?

Ancien, who's the little twerp with you.

Jeez, dad, you don't

recognize your own son?

What?

Yeah, right.

I think I'd remember

having a son as big as you.

Ancien, Peach has been

capture on Bewan's order.

Not just that.

Castle guards are on the way.

Don't worry.

The two of us could take care of them.

You find a way to rescue Peach.

Did my dad look younger than normal?

Come on, Morio.

What?

If we're able to help out dad

while we're having this dream

then we can help him out for real!

Dream?

What do you mean dream?

This dream has been

connected with real life

since this morning.

And since I can use magic while we're here

it'll make things a whole lot easier.

(engine revving)

(grunting)

Takeji, Ugi, we believe in you guys.

Come on, step on it.

(engine revving)

(screaming)

(screaming)

Coming through!

Ancien, we know you can save Peach!

Leave it to me!

(questing music)

And how is that we're flying right now?

It's because we're

inside a fairytale world

that my dad made up for me.

A fairytale world?

Yeah.

You must remember too, Morio.

Back when we were little

whenever you'd sleep over at my house,

it's the world from the bedtime story

my dad used to tell!

Oh yeah.

Now that you mention it, Uncle Momo

did used to make up some

story about a princess.
