Nyelv started trialling a method of controlling humans.
He hypnotised me too, but I broke through it easy!
Meanwhile, my search for anyone related to Shouma's mum Michiru-san,
finally reached a milestone.
But it turned out to be the owner of the snacks store Shouma frequents.
Sorry for doing this behind your back.
But I figured you'd want to meet them eventually, even if you're afraid right now-
so I figured starting the search sooner than later would be better.
I just didn't think it'd lead to someone you already knew.
Does he already know that Mum was kidnapped by a Granute?
He doesn't. I didn't tell him why I was looking for her, either.
"Inoue Masaru"?
Hello, it's Karakida.
It's Inoue, from Hidamari.
Sorry, is there any chance we could meet up in the near future?
There's a few things I'd like to ask, about what might've happened to my sister.
About Michiru-san?
Sure. I'll find a gap in my schedule and get back to you.
Thanks. See you soon.
He wants to meet up to talk about Michiru-san.
He's going to ask questions. How much should we tell him?
Can I be there, too?
I want to ask stuff, too.
The initial experiments for your plan were a success.
I will proceed to build upon them.
Not at the cost of Dark Treat production, I hope.
Of course. The next presidential election soon approaches.
Exactly.
Prepare for departure.
Departure? Where to?
The human world.
Yay! You've finally taken an interest in it?
If we're taking over their entire world-
we may as well extract every last drop of value from it.
Hence, an inspection.
I'm going too!

Episode 43 - What does the human world taste like?
A handyman service...?
They've helped me with articles. We're borrowing their office.
- 'Sup. - Hey there!
Excuse me.
Hi!
Shouma-kun? What are you doing here?
I work here part-time, actually.
Is that so? Seems like fate is at work.
Hidamari-san is actually my uncle...
This feels kind of weird...
like he's a stranger now, even though I know him...
I'm Amane Sachika, the boss of this place.
Hanty's given me the rundown.
Quit it with the "Hanty"?
Amane-san, have we met before...?
Who, me?
I remember now!
The other day, by the seaside!
Ahh- you were there too?
Yes.
Have a seat.
I'll go put on some tea.
Thank you.
That makes things easier.
I've been looking into those monsters, since that day.
That's when I came across this...
See what it says here?
"Granutes kidnap humans to eat them."
Hanto-kun, you approached me because of these missing-person cases you're chasing, correct?
Yes.
They're cases related to these "Granutes", aren't they?!
Was Michiru one of the people they kidnapped?!
Well...
- Tell me! - Actually-
Ahh, sorry! I'll clean that right up.
Sorry, I got too heated...
Shouma-kun, did you want to say something?
Ah- It's nothing.
It's been twenty years since Michiru went missing.
Truth be told, there were times where I feared the worst had happened...
But being eaten by some monster?!
T-That's more s-sickening than anything I could have imagined...
You're right. I've been chasing cases where Granutes may be involved.
But...
I don't have anything concrete regarding your sister, right now...
I'm sorry.
Of course. That's why you're still investigating.
I'll be heading home, then.
Quite impressive, I must say.
It seems I've underestimated these human things.
They've established quite the civilization.
Right?
Let me take you around!
Their buildings are made mostly of stone and metal.
It's wasted on hives for humans.
Booo.
We're finally out sightseeing together and that's all you can see in them?
Lizel, I called this an "inspection" for a reason.
These resources should be put to more efficient use after we've taken over their world.
SNACK!
BITE SNACK!
Henshin.
BAKIBAKI STICK! YUMMY!
I will be stronger!
BEAT YOU! BEAT YOU!
BAKIBAKI STICK! END!
Well done, Jeebh. I obtained some good data from that.
Really? It'll make me stronger, right?
Of course.
I see you've acclimated to that Gavv, too.
I couldn't speak up at all... about Mum or me...
I've never seen him like that, before.
All I know is his calm side.
'That so?
But he's actually been suffering all these years.
Like you were.
What should I do?
I don't regret asking about my Mum.
Sure, accepting it was hard at first,
and I gave you a hard time for it...
But looking back, I'm glad I got to know the truth.
Would Masaru-san think the same?
Dunno.
Just saying that was the case for me.
'Thought a point of reference might help.
Thanks!
Now there's an idea!
Why don't we convert these buildings into food stocks?
As in food for us?
Ehh...humans have been using these...
That sounds disgusting.
I-I mean for the lower-class.
They'd happily gobble it up.
Let's take a sample home, shall we?
Was that really okay?
This will all by ours soon, anyway. No issue here.
Lizel! What are you up to?!
See? A Granute hunter is here.
He's one of them?
Who's next to you?
Oh? Who indeed?
VRASTUMGEAR!
That will do.
That's all a Granute hunter can muster?
They have no power while looking like that.
But there's two more out there.
You'll see one in action soon enough.
Oh? Then I'll look forward to that.
Papa, wait for me!
"Papa"?
Is that-
Hello!
Oh, S-Shouma-kun?
What's wrong?
I'm...looking to get some snacks.
Right... Of course.
Fancy trying a new product, then?
Gladly!
Here, have a seat.
We just got some melon jelly in, today.
Wow! I've never had this flavour before!
Really?
- Thank you! - Go for it.
Yum!
You certainly enjoy your sweets.
It reminds me of my sister.
She was an absolute glutton for snacks and sweets.
Yum!
I'm home.
Onii-chan, welcome back.
Michiru, we're having dinner soon.
Should you really be snacking?
Of course! Sweets go in a different stomach.
Potato chips are a snack from the human world.
It's my favourite! We call it "shortcake"!
I guess Mum really is his little sister.
This shop was a favourite of hers since childhood.
That's why I resigned from my previous job to inherit it.
I wanted to keep it going, in her memory.
That's nice.
Is something wrong?
I-It's nothing.
Sorry, I was just wondering...
Do you really want to know what actually happened to her?
Even though she probably went through some horrible things?
Deep inside, I probably wanted Hanto-kun to deny the worst of what I had imagined.
I'm am rather weak person.
But Michiru was strong.
She would always put her best foot forward, regardless of how bad things got.
That's why I held onto hope-
that she would come home someday, regardless of what she went through.
And I'd have this shop to greet her with, and put a smile on her face again.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Lakian called in about a building getting totalled.
Lizel was there-
and another guy who might be the president.
Okay.
Sorry, a job came up.
See you again. Thanks for the treat!
Take care, see you!
Hanto!
Shouma?
Lizel and the president are around here?
People spotted monsters around here not long ago. They might still be nearby.
Hanto, isn't that-
Hoh? An impressive bridge indeed.
Is it?
Look Papa, they're already here.
These two are the remaining Granute hunters?
You must be the president.
Watch your tongue-
Easy, Lizel.
I am indeed.
I am the Granute world's head of state, Bocca Zeludac.
And what's a bigshot like you doing here?
An inspection, of course.
I wanted to have a look at your world, at least-
before it becomes mine in its entirety in the near future.
- What!? - Not on our watch.
You heard 'em!
CAKE!
FRAPPÉ ON!
- Henshin! - Henshin!
FRAPPÉ CUSTOM! SLUSHY SLUSHY!
CAKING! AMAZING!
WHIP PARTY!
Ahh, I see how it is.
Show me those powers of yours!
Let's do this, Shouma!
Thanks!
Bastard!
Let's try this!
DECORATION!
Let's get 'em!
CHOCO!
What!?
Where am I?
What's this thing?
S-Stop, stop, stop, stop...
Don't, Lizel.
N-Now's my chance!
Woah! Roll, roll, roll-
H-Head's up, head's up!
CHOCO!
CHOCO!!
CHARGE ME! CHARGE ME!
Let's end this!
CAKING!
FINISH!
Ahh, they got beat up.
Interesting. Lango-kun wasn't bested by sheer dumb luck, then.
You're next!
Why try when you're no match for Papa at all?
Right?
Indeed.
Now, let's go home.
Okay!
That's the president of the Granute world...
I see. So you're going to keep it from Masaru-san?
Yeah.
Everything relating to me being her son-
involves hearing about her suffering way beyond what he's ready to accept, I think.
So I'm keeping a lid on it, at least for now.
Fair 'nuff.
But seriously, you two came back way beat up today!
Can it. We'll get him next time.
You two fancy some ice-cream?
- Yes please! - I'm good.
Okay~
The data's not bad, but-
it's still inferior to the red Gavv.
In other words, the one I really should be teaming up with is-
Next time on Kamen Rider Gavv:
You again? How stubborn.
The shady guy, Shouma-kun!
Wow!
There may be a door to another world.
I'm back!
I'll see you again, won't I?
