[00:44] PONKO
    Yachiyo! How did you like your time off?
[00:48] YACHIYO
    I felt alive.
[00:50] PONKO
    Great. I'm happy for you.
[00:52] YACHIYO
    I'm done with my time off.
    Let me change into my uniform.
[00:55] PONKO
    Huh? W-Wait a minute!
[00:57] PONKO
    You're getting back to work already?!

[01:01] YACHIYO
    I'm back.
[01:07] PONKO
    You know a day off means
    the whole day, right?
[01:10] YACHIYO
    The break gave me extra motivation
    to get back to work.
[01:15] PONKO
    I dunno if that time off
    served its purpose...
[01:18] DOORMAN
    We have a guest.
[01:30] YACHIYO
    We must ask you not to brandish
    lethal weapons within the hotel premises.
[01:34] IORI
    Oh...
[01:36] IORI
    S-Sorry about that.
[01:41] YACHIYO
    Um, did you just speak an Earth language?
[01:48] IORI
    Well, strictly speaking, I am an earthling.
[01:52] PONKO
    What?!
[01:54] PONKO
    E-E-Earth... Really?!
[01:54] IORI
    It's my first visit to Earth, though.
[01:57] PONKO
    Sniff, sniff. Not a tanuki!
[01:59] PONKO
    We got a real-deal earthling!
[02:02] PONKO
    No way! For real? Hooray!
[02:05] PONKO
    Look, Yachiyo! Isn't this amazing?
[02:09] YACHIYO
    We've been eagerly awaiting your return.
[02:13] PONKO
    Very eagerly!
[02:16] IORI
    Th-Thank you very much.
[02:20] YACHIYO
    Are you here by yourself?
[02:22] IORI
    Yes. On a solo mission.
[02:25] YACHIYO
    When will the rest of humanity return?
[02:28] IORI
    Huh?
[02:30] IORI
    I don't know about that.
[02:32] IORI
    I'm just here to survey Earth's current state.
[02:38] YACHIYO
    "Survey"?
[02:39] IORI
    Our data said there were no intelligent
    life forms left on Earth, so I was shocked.
[02:44] IORI
    I'm amazed it still has a civilization—
    and I'm even more amazed it still has humans.
[02:51] YACHIYO
    No. There are no humans left on Earth.
[02:54] YACHIYO
    You're the only one here.
[02:56] IORI
    Huh?
[02:57] YACHIYO
    I'm Yachiyo, a hotelier robot.
[03:01] PONKO
    Ponko here. I'm a Tanukian.
[03:06] YACHIYO
    Miss, this is a hotel.
[03:09] YACHIYO
    Would you like to stay with us and see?

[03:31] YACHIYO
    Allow me to show you
    to your room, Ms. Tomari.
[03:37] YACHIYO
    This is your room for the night.
[03:41] IORI
    This whole space is for an individual?!
[03:43] YACHIYO
    I must also inform you that we have
    a spacesuit cleaning facility at this hotel.
[03:49] IORI
    I'll die if I take this off, so...
[03:51] YACHIYO
    Oh, right. My apologies.
[03:56] IORI
    Soft.
[03:58] IORI
    So this,
[03:59] IORI
    this,
[04:02] IORI
    and this... they're all free for me to use?
[04:05] YACHIYO
    Are things different on your present planet?
[04:08] IORI
    We don't have a planet.
[04:11] YACHIYO
    Where do you reside?
[04:13] IORI
    Interstellar arks.
[04:16] IORI
    After leaving Earth,
[04:18] IORI
    we tried several times to take up
    residence on other planets.
[04:24] IORI
    But due to issues with water, temperature,
    atmosphere, and other things,
[04:28] IORI
    we still haven't found a new home.
[04:33] IORI
    Everything on board is controlled
    by our life-support systems.
[04:38] IORI
    And I'd only ever seen blue skies,
    blue seas, and big landforms
[04:42] IORI
    in research documents before I landed here.
[04:48] IORI
    I was sent on a scouting mission to Earth
    to check the possibility of living here again.
[04:56] IORI
    However...
[04:57] IORI
    When I crash-landed, the impact
    broke my virus scanner.
[05:02] YACHIYO
    If that's the case, let me offer you
    my support as concierge.
[05:06] IORI
    Huh?
[05:07] IORI
    Thank you.
[05:09] IORI
    Hey!
[05:10] IORI
    I-I-Is that... a sh-shampoo hat?!
[05:13] YACHIYO
    Indeed!
[05:14] YACHIYO
    Our specialty shampoo hats are what
    truly make the Gingarou Hotel what it is!
[05:19] IORI
    But I can't take this suit off,
    so I can't use it.
[05:22] YACHIYO
    You may use it on top of your spacesuit.
[05:24] IORI
    That seems kind of pointless.
[05:26] YACHIYO
    But it is possible.
[05:27] IORI
    I also can't exactly shower.
[05:29] YACHIYO
    Why not give it a try anyway?
[05:33] PONKO
    So humanity really returned, huh?
[05:36] YACHIYO
    It's just one survey mission.
[05:38] PONKO
    But if that survey says it's okay,
    they'll all come back!
[05:45] YACHIYO
    Yes, you do have a point.
[05:48] PONKO
    Yachiyo?
[05:49] YACHIYO
    I'm just wondering if that guest
    truly is an earthling.
[05:55] PONKO
    Huh? Why? She wasn't a Tanukian.
[05:59] YACHIYO
    I must be having doubts because she turned
    down the chance to use a shampoo hat.
[06:04] YACHIYO
    Any human would leap at the opportunity.
[06:08] PONKO
    Are we even sure that's true?
[06:11] YACHIYO
    Either way,
[06:12] YACHIYO
    you've all helped me see the day
    when I received a human guest again.
[06:18] YACHIYO
    Thank you, truly.
[06:21] PONKO
    No one's worked harder
    to make this happen than you.
[06:24] PONKO
    It's been a long road.
[06:27] PONKO
    I wonder if she'll come to like our hotel.
[06:30] YACHIYO
    Of that, I have no doubt.
[06:33] YACHIYO
    Because our hotel is a magical place.
[06:35] PONKO
    Yeah.
[06:41] YACHIYO
    And that's the announcement.
[06:42] YACHIYO
    As of last night, a human guest
    is staying with us.
[06:46] TAMAKO
    I wanna see a real-deal human!
[06:50] YACHIYO
    Don't get too excited.
[06:51] YACHIYO
    As usual, we'll provide every single one of
    our guests the attention they deserve.
[06:55] TAMAKO
    'Kay!

    Oh, yeah. I've tinkered with this exact

    We have this thing to thank for it.

    Is that the same plant that
    was in the Gingarou's aquarium?

    I apologize for losing my cool the other day.
[15:28] YACHIYO
    After you collapsed in the lobby,
[15:30] YACHIYO
    we had this doctor here look after you.
[15:33] PONSTIN
    It seems you've suffered
    a severe allergic reaction.
[15:37] IORI
    But isn't the virus gone?
[15:40] EV CHECKER
    It sounds like you guys
    are the ones who changed.

    Humans have grown to be incompatible

[15:53] IORI
    No...
[15:59] PONKO
    I'm glad she's stable now.
[16:01] YACHIYO
    Yes. Ponstin did really well.
[16:04] PONKO
    Want him to take a look at you too?
[16:06] YACHIYO
    Huh?
[16:07] PONKO
    You've been acting strange ever
    since the human guest showed up.
[16:11] YACHIYO
    Right...
[16:13] PONKO
    What's the matter?
[16:15] YACHIYO
    I'm not happy about it.
[16:19] YACHIYO
    We finally received a human guest again—
[16:22] YACHIYO
    the very thing we've waited centuries for—
[16:24] YACHIYO
    and yet I'm not especially happy about it.
[16:29] YACHIYO
    I worked as a hotelier robot all this time
    to keep my promise with the owner.
[16:36] YACHIYO
    He never returned, even after many
    human lifespans' worth of time passed.
[16:43] YACHIYO
    But I still wanted to wait here
    for human guests to return.
[16:49] YACHIYO
    That was how I could keep my promise
    to the owner, who left us in charge.
[16:55] YACHIYO
    And yet...
[16:57] YACHIYO
    I only felt the same delight that I already
    get from extraterrestrial guests.
[17:04] YACHIYO
    I must be broken beyond repair.
[17:10] PONKO
    What's wrong with that?
[17:12] YACHIYO
    Sorry?
[17:12] PONKO
    What that means is that, in the
    centuries since humans left Earth,
[17:18] PONKO
    extraterrestrial guests have come to be
    just as important as human guests to you.
[17:27] PONKO
    It makes sense. You're a hotelier.
[17:30] PONKO
    There's nothing weird about that!
[17:34] YACHIYO
    You mean I'm not malfunctioning?
[17:37] PONKO
    Exactly.
[17:38] PONKO
    You've served both human guests and
    extraterrestrial guests for so long.
[17:44] PONKO
    I think that's a much more impressive feat
    than keeping your promise to the owner!
[18:04] YACHIYO
    Ms. Tomari.
[18:06] YACHIYO
    How are you feeling?
[18:08] IORI
    A lot better, thanks to the tanuki doctor.
[18:12] IORI
    I'm thinking of leaving today.
[18:16] IORI
    Earth no longer belongs to us.
[18:22] IORI
    Before I leave, let me experience
    what the extraterrestrial guests do...
[18:27] IORI
    and have a meal here at your hotel.
[18:33] YACHIYO
    Certainly.
[18:38] YACHIYO
    Your A5 Nudel hamburg steak.
[18:41] IORI
    Nudel? That Nudel?!
[18:43] YACHIYO
    Yes. We've succeeded in culturing them
    after a guest gave us a larval form.
[18:48] YACHIYO
    Enjoy your meal.
[19:04] IORI
    Nice and hot.
[19:06] YACHIYO
    Here you are.
[19:10] BALLOON ALIEN
    This is delightful, truly!
[19:25] IORI
    Thank you for having me.
[19:27] YACHIYO
    We hope you'll return
    with other humans in future.
[19:31] IORI
    But... We can no longer live here.
[19:35] YACHIYO
    Maybe not, but you could
    still make a temporary stay.
[19:38] YACHIYO
    Like you did, Ms. Tomari.
[19:41] IORI
    Like Earth itself... is a hotel?
[19:46] IORI
    I see.
[19:47] IORI
    Yeah, you're right!
