I'm here at the press conference being held by Science Laboratories.

As the youngest individual to ever earn a doctorate,

Miss Four Tune has gone on to make several earth-shattering discoveries,

and she's holding this conference to announce what she calls the find of the century.

14 Years Ago

The lab seems to have quite a lot invested in this girl genius.

Well, it's thanks to her

that they've been able to secure the largest budget in their history.

They probably want to show her off.

Here we go.

All of my previous research has been in service of a uniting theory.

I'm here to inform you all that I have now confirmed this theory.

The land of a long-lost advanced civilization,

the continent of Mo, did exist!

Girl genius loses her mind

Miss Four Tune on the outs in academia: "I don't expect fools to understand" Insulting her peers

Her previous research comes under suspicion Will her doctorate be revoked?

Insulting her peers

The Mo Continent is real... I know it.

The Young Genius's Past

1 Year Prior

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Looking at cells.

Cells?

From a tiger.

A tiger? Why?

I was curious if they could grow gigantic.

Could tigers actually get that big?

They used to. More specifically, a subspecies of tiger.

Or maybe a life-form that only resembled tigers.

Hand me that.

What is this subspecies, or the similar but different creature?

You're asking a lot of questions.

Are you interested?

Well, it's just... I like animals. So I was curious.

I like them, too.

But who are you, anyway?

Oh, I'm Edward Chi.

I'm starting my new job as a special researcher in the lab today.

I was told to wait in here.

Then that makes you my assistant.

My name is Four Tune. I'm a special researcher for Science Laboratories.

Y-You are?!

I noticed you didn't treat me like a child.

I like that.

I-I see. Well, it's a pleasure.

Sorry to rush you, but I was about to start in on a bear dissection.

Help me out.

Today's Recommendation:

Honey Jelly

Bears love it!

Time to eat.

You're not going to eat?

I've just never seen so much bloody flesh before...

Excuse me—

You must come from a fancy home.

We'll be dissecting a water buffalo tomorrow.

But you come from a sophisticated background too, right?

What makes you think that?

The Tune family is in a class of their own in terms of wealth. With a long lineage.

And that's why I'm here.

Because a prim and proper family like that doesn't need a weirdo like me.

That's...

Hand me the file from that shelf, and open it to page 10.

What is all this?

I spilled hot cocoa.

I can be pretty clumsy when I get focused on my work...

Granted, my handwriting is so bad, I can't always read it either way.

But I'm writing things down just in case. I remember most of it, so it's fine.

I wonder how long she intends on staying...

Y'know, they're going to be locking up soon.

Is it that late already?

Have a good night, then.

You're not going home?

I'd just have to come back if I did. Too much work.

Have you been... sleeping in here?

It's fine. I have pajamas to change into.

But that's... You're still so—

The guards are around, so I'm not scared.

Bye-bye. See you tomorrow.

Good morning.

Care for a drink?

Wow. Thank you!

You're so weird, Ed.

Coming from you, that's a bit much...

So mean!

I made sandwiches. Would you like some?

I would!

Thank you for the food!

Go ahead.

Tasty!

What is this?! It's amazing!

I went ahead and made another copy.

You did?!

Your handwriting is beautiful! And so legible!

Oh, right. That reminds me...

I see. That explains it...

Girl genius makes historical discovery

Ancient texts previously thought unreadable finally deciphered

You looked like you'd forgotten about eating and sleeping properly...

I'm glad you're doing better.

All thanks to you, Ed.

You organizing my files has helped me make real progress deciphering the ancient texts.

It's so strange. It's just a copy of stuff I already wrote down,

but going through it makes me feel like my thoughts are being organized.

I'm glad I was able to be of help.

I'd like you to always work by my side.

Miss Four Tune!

Good afternoon. That is you, yes?

Who're you?

I'm a reporter with Most News. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

Go ahead.

Well, I'll take care of the dishes.

Sure. See you later.

Doctor Four Tune's cutting-edge theories on evolution

Could tigers become larger than they are now?

What is this?!

What are you doing, man?!

I'm her assistant!

If you want an interview, you need to arrange for it in advance and in an appropriate fashion.

Did you even get permission to enter the lab?

I will call security.

Okay, okay! Some other time, then.

Damn...

What was that about?

You dropped this!

Are you all right?

They didn't do anything.

But seeing them swarm you like that...

I was worried.

I wasn't.

And having a lot of attention brings certain advantages.

Like making the chairman more cooperative.

A public spotlight doesn't always have positive effects.

Never mind that. Ed, can you read this?

Don't be silly. How could I if you can't?

It's so weird. It's got the same patterns I've used to decipher everything else,

but this part is almost like another language.

I wonder why.

Look out!

What a relief!

Four Tune, stop eating and please get a rag!

Four Tune?

I see. It was written backwards.

Why is only this part backwards?!

That has to imply some level of importance and secrecy, right?

It has to!

If the ancient texts are right, it should be down here...

Oh, no. I should have expected something like this.

But if I go back to grab a light, I might not make it back inside.

What do I do...?

Here we go! I'm in luck.

This is it.

This is what I was looking for!

Four Tune! I've been looking for you.

Where have you been?

Four Tune?

Not now.

It's done...

The Sinking and Likely Resurfacing of the Mo Continent

The Mo Continent?

What is that?

The land that was home to the advanced civilization of beastmen

who once ruled the world.

An advanced civilization of beastmen?

What are you talking about?

I found this at my grandfather's villa.

Locally, it had become known as a cursed stone and was feared.

The kind that curses you when you touch it.

Specifically, it causes corns on your feet.

One of my ancestors, who was the local lord, took it and enshrined it.

I wanted to see if it would really curse me...

And that's when I saw it.

A vision of who I really am.

I'm a beast person, from the Mo Continent.

A Motarian.

I want to take my true form.

That's why I've been doing this research.

It seems our girl genius has written a new paper!

Yes, sir. We haven't verified the contents yet, but...

Then let's debut it at an urgent press conference!

Is that a good idea?

It's fine! Why not use the chance to add some more heat to our popularity?

We'll be hearing from the youngest individual to ever earn a doctorate

who has gone on to make several earth-shattering discoveries, Miss Four Tune...

The lab seems to have quite a lot invested in this girl genius.

Well, it's thanks to her

that they've been able to secure the largest budget in their history.

They probably want to show her off.

Here we go.

All of my previous research has been in service of a uniting theory.

I'm here to inform you all that I have now confirmed this theory.

The land of a long-lost advanced civilization,

the continent of Mo, did exist!

She lives in a place like this...?

Four Tune? Are you there?

Please open up if you are.

Go away.

You quit the lab so suddenly. I've been worried.

Go away.

What's become of your Mo Continent research?

The chairman said I won't get any more support for it.

Go away.

I'll be back.

Four Tune?

You actually came? Go away.

Have you eaten?

I made some sandwiches.

Help yourself, if you'd like.

I'm going to leave them out here.

Four Tune! I made rice balls today.

Four Tune, today is pancakes.

Your research on the Mo Continent... you're continuing it, right?

If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

I'll be back.

Why?

Why are you being so nice to me?

When I first met you, you said you liked me because I didn't treat you like a child.

Did that happen...?

But I did treat you like a child back then.

I might even be doing that right now.

And that's been bothering me all along.

I don't know... I feel like I need to make up for it.

You're so dumb, Ed.

I paid your utilities off.

Four Tune?

Ed...

What is it?

Watch this.

Remarkable...

This is incredible! You look gorgeous!

I'm sure academia will lose its mind when you show them this!

No. It's not enough.

I need more conclusive proof.

Such as?

The resurfaced Mo Continent.

You intend to raise it...?

I'll need to do a lot of work to make it happen. And I'll need money.

I have a plan for that, actually.

I've started a company.

It's still small, for now,

but in the future, I intend to be involved in a variety of businesses

in order to help your research.

This is amazing...

I also intend on looking for people like you.

What do you mean?

Well, I believe there are other people out there with the memories of beast people.

The more you gather, the more irrefutable your proof will be.

I see...

The things Ed did after that were incredible.

He expanded his business in the blink of an eye,

and he really did find other people with Motarian marks, like me.

Newly Opened Cafe Rock

I wasted a little too much time...

Guess I'll have to settle for the office on the second floor.

I appreciate Ed's help, but I can't rely on him for everything.

I'll need to do what I can on my own, too.

For the sake of my true memories.

Still, I never thought...

That those boys would get so close to the truth.
