Episode 10

LOST AT SEA is the tenth episode of the Buddy Daddies anime series.

Introduction
December. For the Christmas party at the nursery school, Miri was rehearsing a song. As usual, when Kazuki and Rei went to pick up Miri, they noticed a recognizable figure standing in front of the Daycare center. It was Misaki, Miri's mother.

Synopsis
As Misaki, Miri's mother, is standing in front of the Daycare center, she calls out to Kazuki and Rei while having a different appearance from before and dressing nicely. She replied, "I've come to take Miri," when Kazuki asked her what she needed. Kazuki's voice raises in shock at how suddenly the situation has arisen. Miri immediately runs to her mother after spotting her at that precise moment. Miri unintentionally indulges her mother when she brings Misaki to the apartment to discuss the situation. When Misaki arrived to pick her up, there was a specific purpose.

Plot
For the upcoming Christmas Party, Miri's class is learning the song Silent Night. Kazuki and Rei are deciding what to get her for Christmas in the meantime. Misaki, Miri's mother, waits outside for Rei and Kazuki to pick her up from daycare. She claims to have come to retrieve Miri.

Having permitted Misaki and Miri to spend the day together at their house, Kazuki and Rei confront her after Miri has gone to sleep. She claims that the reasons for her return are that she was fired from her job, broke up with her boyfriend, and, worst of all, her cancer spread to her throat, making it impossible for her to sing. Misaki uses Kazuki and Rei's employment against them when she informs them that she wants to take Miri, claiming to be aware of the dangers involved in what they do. Kazuki and Rei are upset and later vent to Kyutaro about how Misaki could have discovered their line of work.

To protect Kazuki and Rei from the group, Kyutaro acknowledges that he told Misaki they were assassins. The company believes Miri's presence is making their work "sloppy," and if they don't get rid of her soon, the punishment will only get worse. Kazuki and Rei take Miri to see Misaki after spending one final day together doing things like going out to eat, shopping, playing games, and going on rides. Kazuki refers to it as a sleepover, but it really feels more like a last exchange.
