    Dear Mother,
[02:11] MIRA
    I trust this message finds you in good health.

[02:25] MIRA
    Without drawing suspicion,
[02:30] MIRA
    I've managed to infiltrate the target building
[02:33] MIRA
    and begun the search for the key.
[02:38] REN
    I'm off!
[02:39] SHOKICHI
    Take care.
[02:41] MIRA
    It appears that Naosuke resembles
    a Terran species called "dogs,"
[02:43] SHOKICHI
    Time for a walk, Naosuke.
[02:47] MIRA
    so he's pretending to be one in order
    to avoid causing panic among the locals.
[02:52] MIRA
    Earth is home to plenty of substances
    unknown to Planet Wid.
[03:12] MIRA
    They are brought to life
    by the ever-enigmatic Earthlings.
[03:17] MIRA
    We will find the key,
    which is somewhere in this building,

    I'd love to try this "beans'n'rice," too.
    It sounds so good.
[03:36] NAOSUKE
    Hey, what happened to making
    every second count?
[03:39] NAOSUKE
    I am appalled by your lies.
[03:41] MIRA
    I mean, it's been three months
    and we still have no clue where the key is.
[03:45] MIRA
    Besides, life on Earth
    is much more free and fun
[03:48] MIRA
    than dealing with the pressures of Wid royalty.
[03:51] MIRA
    And if I told Mother the truth,
    she'd bring the entire Wid space fleet to Earth.
[03:57] NAOSUKE
    What about life here is "free"?!
[03:58] NAOSUKE
    Do you have any idea
    how it feels to be walked on a leash?!
[04:01] MIRA
    Nope.
[04:05] NAOSUKE
    I can't believe someone who lacks even a shred
    of empathy is next in line to the throne.
[04:09] NAOSUKE
    If Her Majesty were to see you now,
    she would be so disappointed.
[04:14] NAOSUKE
    She raised you all by herself after
    His Majesty's death. Spare a thought—
[04:17] MIRA
    Oh, zip it already!
[04:20] MIRA
    Fine! I just have to look for the key, right?
[04:24] NAOSUKE
    Whoever holds the key
    will take the throne of Planet Wid.
[04:27] NAOSUKE
    If you find it and become queen,
[04:30] NAOSUKE
    the universe will be at peace.
[04:32] MIRA
    I get that, already.
[04:34] MIRA
    But why would it be here?
[04:37] MIRA
    I heard that it was hidden away
    on a faraway planet
[04:40] MIRA
    in order to keep it from
    falling into enemy hands.
[04:43] MIRA
    But why on Earth, and why in Astro Lodge?
[04:45] NAOSUKE
    Beats me.
[04:47] NAOSUKE
    Our mission is to infiltrate
    this place and find the key.
[04:50] NAOSUKE
    Everything else is irrelevant.
[04:52] NAOSUKE
    Let's go!
[04:56] NAOSUKE
    I'll pretend to be a dog and focus

    Come on...
[05:17] TAKUMI
    A widow? Seriously?
[05:21] TAKUMI
    What, are you going to bite me again, Naosuke?
[05:23] TAKUMI
    Why do you hate me so much?
[05:29] TAKUMI
    I wish I was a dog.
    Then I wouldn't have a care in the world.
[05:33] TAKUMI
    If Mira-san's a widow,
    that means she was married before
[05:38] TAKUMI
    and her partner passed away.
[05:41] TAKUMI
    Does she have a boyfriend now?
[05:44] TAKUMI
    And who was that man
    she was talking to last night?
[05:49] TAKUMI
    Do you know anything?
[05:51] TAKUMI
    Was that her boyfriend?
[05:52] TAKUMI
    And if not, who the heck was he?!
[05:56] TAKUMI
    Mira-san...

[06:05] SHOKICHI
    What are you looking for?
[06:09] SHOKICHI
    It feels like you've been searching
    for something ever since you came here.
[06:14] MIRA
    Oh, uh... Naosuke's just
    hidden something somewhere.
[06:19] SHOKICHI
    And what would that be?
[06:21] MIRA
    Nothing special.
[06:23] MIRA
    What are you reading?
[06:25] SHOKICHI
    A book Tasuke-san left behind.
[06:27] MIRA
    Who's Tasuke-san?
[06:29] SHOKICHI
    Shimotakaido Tasuke.
    Astro Lodge's former caretaker.
[06:33] MIRA
    Ah.
[06:34] SHOKICHI
    He loved sci-fi, outer space,
    and all that kind of stuff.
[06:37] SHOKICHI
    Every night, he would sit here
    and gaze up at the starry sky.
[06:42] MIRA
    Huh...
[06:43] SHOKICHI
    He didn't have any family or other relatives.
[06:47] SHOKICHI
    He put all his affairs in order himself
    for when he inevitably passed.
[06:52] SHOKICHI
    Crazy, right?
[06:54] MIRA
    Did you know him long?
[06:56] SHOKICHI
    Please, we were landlord and tenant
    for over half a century.
[07:01] MIRA
    That really is long.
[07:03] SHOKICHI
    Yeah. Tasuke-san managed Astro Lodge
    from the day it was built.
[07:15] NAOSUKE
    Stay away from that Miyasaka Takumi guy.
[07:17] NAOSUKE
    He's a creep!
[07:20] NAOSUKE
    What're you looking at?
[07:21] MIRA
    I think the previous landlord
    may have been a Wido.
[07:24] NAOSUKE
    Huh?
[07:25] MIRA
    Let's go over everything
    one more time from the start.
[07:27] MIRA
    Here's the paperwork I was given
    when I took over Astro Lodge.
[07:32] MIRA
    The key was hidden away
    on a faraway planet, right?
[07:35] MIRA
    Maybe it was Tasuke-san, a Wido,
    who hid the key somewhere in this lodge.
[07:40] MIRA
    He even cut all contact
    with Planet Wid to avoid detection
[07:44] MIRA
    and waited for us to come for him someday.
[07:46] NAOSUKE
    I see...

[08:20] TAKUMI
    Oww!
[08:23] TAKUMI
    Hey, I made some for you!
[08:25] TOMIHIRO
    So, what, the salmon ran away to avoid being
    consumed by an unemployed individual?
[08:30] TAKUMI
    Like hell it did!
[08:31] TOMIHIRO
    Then who did it?
[08:32] TAKUMI
    Uh...
[08:34] MIRA
    What's wrong, you two?
[08:36] TAKUMI
    Oh, it was Naosuke.
[08:38] TAKUMI
    Naosuke must've eaten your
    breakfast, Wakabayashi-san.
[08:42] MIRA
    What? Bad boy, Naosuke!
[08:48] MIRA
    I'm really sorry.
[08:50] TOMIHIRO
    Well, I can't expect a dog to know better.

    and you'll have your meal.

    Right. You can't stay a part-time

[09:42] OBACHAN
    You're the new cook at Astro Lodge, right?
[09:46] OBACHAN
    I live nearby, you see.
[09:48] OBACHAN
    Ask me anything!
    I've lived in this area forever!
[09:54] OBACHAN
    Not with Mira-chan today?
[09:56] OBACHAN
    I saw you two shopping together the other day.
[09:59] OBACHAN
    You seemed to be having a good time,
    and you looked so good together.
[10:01] TAKUMI
    Wait, really?
[10:03] OBACHAN
    But you're unemployed.
[10:05] OBACHAN
    If Mira-chan were my daughter,
    I'd never allow it.
[10:09] OBACHAN
    I hope you find a job soon.
[10:11] OBACHAN
    Did you go pray already?
[10:12] OBACHAN
    Make a wish at the temple over there.
[10:14] OBACHAN
    Want a candy?
[10:16] OBACHAN
    Oh, you just thought, "Didn't know the candy
    thing had spread from Osaka to Tokyo"?
[10:20] OBACHAN
    I added the word "candy" to my bag
    this year 'cause it sounds so sweet.
[10:24] OBACHAN
    I'm updating my vocabulary!
[10:27] OBACHAN
    Now, now, no need to be shy.
[10:29] TAKUMI
    Listening to an old bat's nonsense
    takes so much out of you.
[10:37] TAKUMI
    I guess I might as well.
SIGN    Lucky Cat
[10:40] TAKUMI
    Oh, it's a lucky cat temple?
[10:45] TAKUMI
    I guess you pray to one and enshrine it here
    if your wish comes true.
[10:52] TAKUMI
    That's one big kitty!
[10:59] TAKUMI
    I pray for a job with good benefits,

    a boss who doesn't abuse or harass employees,
[11:03] TAKUMI
    colleagues without superiority complexes,
[11:04] TAKUMI
    people with no links to
    shady networking businesses,
[11:07] TAKUMI
    and a peaceful workplace!
[11:11] TAKUMI
    And I pray that I can be
    Mira-san's boyfriend—
[11:13] TAKUMI
    Boyfriend?!
[11:14] TAKUMI
    Am I insane? I know nothing about her!
[11:18] TAKUMI
    I gotta start with a date
    so we can get to know each other!
[11:22] TAKUMI
    I pray that I can go on a date with Mira-san!
[11:26] TAKUMI
    Wait, what am I, a teenager?!
[11:27] TAKUMI
    I'm a big boy now, so honestly, I'd like
    to get a little touchy-feely with her.
[11:33] LADY1
    How long is he gonna pray for?
[11:33] TAKUMI
    Touchy-feely, like adults! Please!
[11:34] LADY2
    He must've donated, like, 10,000 yen.
[11:36] TAKUMI
    Anyway, all that aside, I hope for world peace.

    Who is that?
[12:41] MIRA
    The previous landlord, apparently.
[12:44] TAKUMI
    Ah. He must've really loved plums.
[12:48] TAKUMI
    He probably used the plums
    from this tree to make umeshu.
[12:52] MIRA
    Umeshu?
[12:53] TAKUMI
    The drinks in the basement.
[12:55] TAKUMI
    He must've made umeshu

    Before I came here,

    Huh. Well, the whole thing makes

    means that they know where the key is hidden.

    mean in floriography?

    "Floriography"?

    Apparently, the flora of Earth
    symbolize something in words.
[20:16] NAOSUKE
    Oh?

    Dear Mother,
[20:28] MIRA
    I trust this message finds you in good health.
[20:31] MIRA
    While Earth is full of things
    that are unknown to Planet Wid,
[20:35] MIRA
    it appears that there are things on Wid
    that I don't know either.

    Are you familiar with someone
    named Shimotakaido Tasuke?
[20:44] MIRA
    Was he a Wido?
[20:47] MIRA
    If he was, then what brought him to Earth?
[21:04] MIRA
    This is all to obtain the key.

    Oh, yes, more or less.

[21:25] TAKUMI
    Glad to hear it.
[21:28] TAKUMI
    Here.
[21:29] MIRA
    Hey, I've been wanting to watch this!
[21:32] TAKUMI
    I know. There's a projector in the living room,
[21:34] TAKUMI
    so check it out when you have time.
[21:37] TAKUMI
    Bye.
[21:37] MIRA
    Let's watch it together.
[21:39] TAKUMI
    Huh?
[21:39] MIRA
    Oh, wait, you're really busy.
[21:42] TAKUMI
    Not at all!
[21:43] TAKUMI
    I have so much free time!
    Let's watch it together!
[21:46] SHOIN
    Mira.
[21:54] MIRA
    Shoin?
[21:58] TAKUMI
    Uh...
[22:00] TAKUMI
    Who might you be?
[22:03] SHOIN
    How I've missed you, Mira.
[22:05] MIRA
    I'm so happy to see you, too.
[22:10] SHOIN
    Oh, where are my manners? I am Shoin Ginger.
[22:14] SHOIN
    Mira's fiancé.
[22:15] TAKUMI
    What?!
SIGN    Shoin Ginger shows up out of nowhere.
SIGN    He's apparently Mira's fiancé, and a total stud.
SIGN    Meanwhile, the Hubbies begin a spy robot mission
SIGN    in order to obtain the key to the throne!
