Gareki entered the ship's lounge room where he found Nai, Tsukumo and Yogi sitting on the couch surrounded with a bunch of candy wrappers as they played a skit with Yogi's stuffed Nyanperonas. Gareki couldn't help himself but to scowl. Since Nai discovered candy he became just as addicted to the stuff as Yogi.
"Hi, Gareki. You wanna play with us too?" Nai asked, but Gareki didn't hear him. He was too busy with coming up a plan to get Nai eat more healthy stuff. Not that he was too fat or anything, but he might if he kept eating the junk the old doctor and Yogi fed him. That's when he got an idea.
Without saying anything, Gareki turned on his heels and left the room with determined steps, leaving unwittingly a heartbroken half Niji behind. Tsukumo and Yogi had to quit the Nyanperona skit to comfort Nai, who broke into tears thinking he had done something wrong to Gareki.
A few hours later, Gareki returned into the ship with a large box. Of course the sheep didn't trust the largely box and insisted the raven haired teen to put it down and open it for further inspection. However, Gareki refused then sprinted away as fast as he could with an army of sheep hot on his trail.
Hirato, hearing all the commotion, came outside his room to see what was going on. Before his brain actually had the time to process what had happened, Hirato found himself overrun by Gareki who then disappeared into the next hallway without even looking back. The sheep stopped to look if everything was fine with the First Ship's Captain.
Gareki noticed the sheep were no longer on his tail and rushed inside the lounge room hoping Nai would still be there. Surprisingly he was, just like Yogi and Tsukumo. He quickly shut the door behind him with his foot then walked towards Nai.
Nai, already forgotten what had happened hours earlier, dashed towards the raven haired teen. His eyes sparkling in joy and curiosity when he saw the large box.
"What's inside, Gareki?" Nai cried cheerfully, trying to get closer. He could definitely hear something flutter inside.
To not ruin his surprise too quickly, Gareki kept the box away from Nai's sticky candy fingers then said; "I spend hours and hours to catch a healthy snack for you, so you better be grateful, you stupid animal."
"Catch? Snack?" Tsukumo asked, getting a really bad feeling.
Ignoring the blond girl, Gareki put the box onto the ground. Nai bounced beside him ecstatically then watched in awe when Gareki opened the lids and bunch of butterflies flew up to the ceiling.
"AAAH!" Tsukumo screamed then ran out the room protecting her hair for the butterflies as if they were bats. Nai however, dashed enthusiastically after them and tried to catch as many as he could.
Hirato, still assuring the sheep that he's feeling perfectly fine, saw Tsukumo run down the hallway, screaming her lungs out in fear. Knowing which way to go to find the street boy, Hirato told the sheep to go after Tsukumo and make sure she was fine while he would deal with Gareki.
Hirato charged inside the lounge room where he found Gareki and Yogi chatting while Nai was happily chewing on some butterflies. The First Ship's Captain had to fight the urge of losing his temper as he stomped regally towards the dark haired boy then grabbed the shrubs of his neck and dragged him out the room, kicking and screaming.
"What were you thinking? Releasing hundreds of butterflies into the ship?" Hirato asked, trying not to lose his cool when Gareki just sat opposite of him, looking at him with a sassy attitude.
Rolling his eyes briefly, Gareki said witty; "Isn't it obvious? Nijis also catch them in the wild by themselves. Besides, it's much healthier for him, instead of all those candy he gets served on a silver platter by the old hermit and that blonde clown."
Hirato, feeling lost for words, opened and closed his mouth like a fish on dry land. By the time he finally knew what to say, the captain found Gareki's seat empty, because the teen already had left the room without asking for permission first.
Reaching his right hand slowly to his temple with a deep heavy sigh, Hirato made a mental note to himself to contact the Second Ship's Captain and ask him if he was interested in another troubled teen. The kid would fit in quite well with Jiki and Kiichi.
