[00:05] Young Natsuki
I-It hurts... It hurts!
[00:14] Young Natsuki
Help me... It's cold...
[00:23] Young Natsuki
No... No!
[00:32] Young Natsuki
Damn it! Damn it!
[00:36] Young Natsuki
Mom...
[00:40] Young Natsuki
Mom!
[00:51] Natsuki
This again...
[00:52] Catherine
You awake?
[00:54] Natsuki
What are you doing here?
[00:58] Catherine
Jeez, don't look so scary.
[01:03] Catherine
I've brought you a ticket to
become filthy rich, after all.
[01:09] Natsuki
You're in my way.
And your seductions won't work on me.
[01:12] Catherine
Look at you, trying to act all grown up.
[01:16] Catherine
Things will actually work out this time!
[01:18] Catherine
I had a reliable connection tell me it's
in working condition and they sold it to me.
[01:23] Natsuki
And how many times were you deceived before?
[01:29] Natsuki
You're gonna die an awful death
if you don't take life seriously.
[01:31] Catherine
Oh, just shut up and give it a try!
[01:33] Catherine
Just one time! Just one!
[01:36] Catherine
Here.
[01:39] Natsuki
Well, this definitely looks
better than the others.
[01:42] Catherine
Right?!
[01:45] Natsuki
Might as well...
[01:52] Natsuki
It's not like I have anything else to do...
[01:59] Natsuki
...in a world like this.

The Amaterasu Project is expected to be
a new large-scale energy supply source.

TO THE CRADLE IN THE OCEAN
[02:19] Radio
Regarding the launching of the rocket which
will be the first step to this plan,
[02:25] Radio
there are citizens who strongly oppose the launch,
[02:27] Radio
which will probably lead
to even more debates.
[02:27] Catherine
Is it actually gonna fly this time?
[02:29] Natsuki
It will.
[02:31] Catherine
I mean, if they have the time and
money to pop off some giant bottle rocket,
[02:34] Catherine
they can at least do
something about our livelihoods.
[02:39] Natsuki
Even if we're getting by right now,
it's all going to crumble someday.
[02:42] Natsuki
We have to create a future.
[02:44] Catherine
But man, look at this hunk of junk.
[02:46] Catherine
Is that thing actually
gonna survive underwater?
[02:48] Natsuki
You're the one who told me
to go under, remember, old lady?
[02:50] Catherine
The name's Catherine!
[02:52] Catherine
Call me "old lady" again and I'll
send you to the depths myself!
[02:55] Natsuki
I mean, Catherine's not even
your real name, is it?
[02:57] Natsuki
What's the difference?
[02:59] Catherine
Shut up! People have their reasons.
[03:02] Minamo
Natsu-kun!
[03:09] Minamo
Natsu-kun! Let's go to school.
[03:14] Catherine
Looks like she's talking to you.
[03:15] Natsuki
If you ignore her long
enough, she'll give up.
[03:18] Catherine
It seems you've been rejected.
[03:19] Catherine
You need to know when to
give up when it comes to love.
[03:22] Minamo
Th-That's not what's going on here!
[03:27] Minamo
And here I thought you finally disappeared.
[03:30] Catherine
Don't make me sound like
the plague or something...
[03:33] Catherine
I am Natsuki Ikaruga's
trusty partner, after all!
[03:38] Minamo
Partner?!
[03:39] Natsuki
Quit making stuff up.
[03:41] Natsuki
You're just a con artist who
showed up with some shady offers.
[03:44] Minamo
They aren't shady!
[03:45] Minamo
The fact that there's some treasure deep down
in your granny's house is the absolute truth!
[03:50] Minamo
Natsu-kun's grandmother?
[03:52] Minamo
The something-or-other-ologist?
[03:54] Natsuki
The marine geologist
Professor Nonko Yachigusa.
[03:57] Natsuki
The deal is to use this thing to snatch up
the treasure in my grandma's house and split it.
[04:04] Minamo
Th-That is shady...
[04:06] Catherine
Oh, knock it off!
[04:07] Catherine
Well, is it ready?
[04:09] Natsuki
Yeah.
[04:10] Natsuki
As long as that part you
brought earlier works properly.
[04:13] Catherine
Really?!
[04:15] Minamo
W-Wait! You're going into
the ocean with this thing?
[04:18] Natsuki
Yeah.
[04:19] Minamo
You really shouldn't! You should
treasure your life more!
[04:23] Catherine
Quit butting in.
[04:25] Catherine
The two of us need some
money no matter what.
[04:28] Catherine
How else can we survive
in a world like this?
[04:34] Minamo
Are you really going to be okay?
[04:36] Minamo
Are you sure she won't just
throw you into the ocean
[04:39] Minamo
right after she thanks you
for finding the treasure?
[04:42] Natsuki
She just might.
[04:43] Minamo
She might?!
[04:44] Minamo
Don't say things like that!
[04:47] Natsuki
Then will you come with me, Minamo?
[04:50] Minamo
Huh?
[04:51] Natsuki
It's been years since this
thing's gone into the ocean.
[04:55] Natsuki
I'd like all the help I can get.
[04:58] Minamo
You really don't play fair.
[05:01] Natsuki
What do you mean?
[05:03] Minamo
Never mind.
[05:06] Natsuki
There was a sudden sea rise that
happened across the globe.
[05:10] Natsuki
Coastal towns close to the sea level were
enveloped by the ocean.
[05:14] Natsuki
The cause is still unknown.
[05:16] Natsuki
The expansion of seawater
due to global warming.
[05:19] Natsuki
A large-scale shift in the seafloor
due to a change in the Earth's crust.
[05:22] Natsuki
There are a number of theories like
these, but nothing's been confirmed.
[05:26] Natsuki
After the rise, the sea level
never went back down,
[05:29] Natsuki
causing many cities and
infrastructure to be lost.
[05:32] Natsuki
And even now,
[05:33] Natsuki
it's slowly enveloping more and more land.
[05:37] Minamo
Uh, um...
[05:39] Natsuki
After I get in and close the hatch,
I need you to release those hooks.
[05:43] Minamo
Hooks? Is it this lever?
[05:46] Natsuki
Catherine, I need you to control the crane.
[05:54] Sign
MAIN POWER
[05:54] Natsuki
Now, then...
[06:01] Catherine
It actually turned on!
[06:04] Minamo
Will this thing really be okay?
[06:07] Catherine
Hurry up and release the hooks!
We don't have endless fuel, you know!
[06:11] Minamo
Oh, jeez...
[06:14] Natsuki
Venting the ballast tanks.
[06:17] Minamo
Maybe you really shouldn't do this.
[06:20] Natsuki
I'm only diving somewhere shallow,
and I know exactly where I'm going.
[06:23] Natsuki
I'll be fine.
[06:25] Natsuki
Not to mention, I need to go at least once.
[06:28] Minamo
Huh?
[06:29] Natsuki
If no one goes down there, it's just
going to be lost to the sea forever.
[06:34] Natsuki
Even though it's the city we all lived in.
[06:41] Minamo
Natsu-kun...
[06:49] Natsuki
Is that it?
[06:56] Natsuki
It's hard to believe that so
much of it is still intact.
[07:06] Young Minamo
Natsu-kun, where are you?
[07:09] Young Natsuki
Minamo, I'm getting a head start!
[07:11] Young Natsuki
See ya!
[07:13] Young Minamo
Wait for me, Natsu-kun!
[07:19] Catherine
Did you find it?
[07:21] Natsuki
Yeah.
[07:28] Natsuki
Here it is.
[07:44] Natsuki
What's that thing?
[07:46] Catherine
What? Did you find some gold down there?!
[07:48] Natsuki
Of course not. It's not like
there's some shipwreck down here.
[08:05] Natsuki
A capsule? No, wait...
[08:11] Natsuki
It's a girl.
[08:16] Natsuki
A doll?
[08:19] Natsuki
She must be a Humanoid.
[08:22] Natsuki
I'm going to lift this up.
Get me the crane hook.
[08:25] Catherine
You got it.
[08:26] Natsuki
She definitely doesn't
look like a doll.
[08:29] Natsuki
To think they managed to
make her so intricately...
[08:33] Natsuki
I've never seen anything like it.
[08:48] Minamo
Natsu-kun! Natsu-kun, what's wrong?!
[08:56] Natsuki
No... No...
[08:59] Natsuki
No!
[09:01] Minamo
Natsu-kun! Natsu-kun!
[09:03] Natsuki
No!
[09:16] Natsuki
A... t... ri?
[09:32] Natsuki
The winch...
[09:33] Minamo
Huh?
[09:35] Natsuki
Just pull up the winch!
[09:43] Minamo
Natsu-kun!
[09:52] Natsuki
There she is!
[10:00] Minamo and Catherine
Huh?!
[10:09] Natsuki
A leg...
[10:12] Natsuki
Oh, it's my prosthetic leg.
[10:16] Natsuki
It's no use...
[10:19] Natsuki
It's so beautiful though.
[10:21] Natsuki
The light... is just so...
[10:26] Natsuki
...beautiful.
[11:00] Catherine
A Humanoid...
[11:02] Minamo
So she's a robot?
[11:04] Atri
I do indeed belong to the group of
precision instruments that you humans
[11:07] Atri
have given that generic name to,
[11:10] Atri
but I do believe that calling
me that is imprecise.
[11:13] Minamo
Wow... I've never seen a Humanoid
that looks this human before.
[11:18] Atri
But of course!
[11:19] Atri
I'm high-performance, after all!
[11:23] Catherine
Man, to think she had something like
this hidden down there all this time...
[11:26] Catherine
They stopped producing Humanoids that
were human-like quite a while back.
[11:31] Catherine
-She's probably worth a pretty penny!
-Huh?! You're going to sell her?!
[11:34] Catherine
Of course, we are!
That's why we salvaged her!
[11:38] Minamo
But you really shouldn't do that
without permission, should you?
[11:41] Atri
Precisely! You must not!
[11:43] Atri
It would be illegal to sell me
without Master's permission!
[11:46] Minamo
Master?
[11:48] Atri
Professor Nonko Yachigusa!
[11:55] Natsuki
Your master...
[11:57] Natsuki
...passed away a month ago from an illness.
[12:01] Atri
Huh? Nonko did?
[12:03] Atri
I see...
[12:06] Minamo
Um...
[12:08] Atri
Aw, she died.
[12:10] Atri
Well, that's rather unfortunate.
[12:12] Atri
RIP.
[12:14] Minamo
Sh-She's taking this very lightly...
[12:15] Natsuki
Well, yeah.
[12:17] Natsuki
Everything she says and does is
just what she's programmed to do.
[12:21] Catherine
So, yeah. Your new master is her
grandson, meaning this kid here.
[12:26] Catherine
You need to listen to his orders now.
[12:28] Atri
Oh...
[12:30] Atri
I look forward to working
with you, This Kid.
[12:33] Atri
Should I continue calling you This Kid?
[12:36] Atri
I could also call you Papa,
Big Brother, or even Big Bro!
[12:41] Natsuki
My name is not "This Kid." It's Natsuki.
[12:46] Natsuki
Natsuki Ikaruga.
[12:47] Atri
Natsuki...?
[12:49] Natsuki
What should I call you?
[12:51] Atri
Oh, you mean my model number?
[12:53] Natsuki
No, your name. Do you not have one?
[12:56] Atri
Oh, I do...
[12:59] Atri
It's Atri.
[13:01] Atri
My name is Atri.
[13:03] Atri
A-t-r-i. Atri!
[13:07] Natsuki
Atri...
[13:09] Atri
Yes! When a thing like a
robot is given a proper name,
[13:12] Atri
it's proof that it has been
acknowledged as a living being!
[13:16] Atri
It is one of the many esteemed labels
my high-performance self has.
[13:19] Atri
Oh! But I believe that Natsuki
is also a fine name as well.
[13:23] Natsuki
Why are you looking down on me?
[13:25] Atri
Huh? But I'm looking up at you!
[13:29] Natsuki
I guess you wouldn't get it.
[13:35] Atri
Wait, did he just... mock me?
[13:43] Minamo
Make sure you don't sell her before
I get back from school, okay?
[13:48] Natsuki
Yeah, I know.
[13:50] Minamo
Absolutely do not! You hear me?!
[13:57] Catherine
So what are we going to do?
[14:02] Natsuki
I don't have the resources to
keep a Humanoid around.
[14:05] Natsuki
Not to mention, I need to do
something about this leg.
[14:08] Catherine
That's more like it.
[14:12] Natsuki
Atri.
[14:12] Atri
Yessir!
[14:14] Natsuki
Let's go.
[14:15] Atri
Are we going on a walk, Master?
[14:18] Natsuki
You'll find out soon enough.
[14:26] Catherine
She sure is slow. Are you
sure she won't run away.
[14:30] Natsuki
She's a Humanoid. There's no
way she'd disobey her master.
[14:35] Natsuki
Is this place unusual?
[14:36] Atri
Why, yes. Everything here is all new to me.
[14:40] Natsuki
Well, this place changed quite
a bit in the past few years.
[14:44] Natsuki
How long were you asleep?
[14:46] Atri
Hm? Was I asleep for that long?
[14:49] Natsuki
You don't even know?
[14:51] Atri
I do not. It appears as though all
of my memories have been lost.

SHOPPING DISTRICT
[15:03] Natsuki
Follow me.
[15:04] Catherine
Hey!
[15:05] Atri
Hm?
[15:10] Natsuki
Choose whichever ones you want.
[15:11] Catherine
What? You're gonna buy some for her?
[15:13] Natsuki
That'll keep her price from going down, right?
[15:17] Atri
I see...
[15:18] Catherine
What?
[15:19] Atri
Oh, it's just this one is optimal in size,
but this one is aesthetically optimal.
[15:26] Catherine
This is gonna take forever.
[15:28] Catherine
Just pick a pair out for her.
[15:36] Natsuki
Well?
[15:37] Atri
They fit perfectly!
[15:42] Natsuki
You're that happy about shoes?
[15:44] Atri
Yes!
[15:46] Atri
Because you were kind enough...
[15:49] Atri
...to give me something, Master!
[15:57] Atri
Is it strange that I'm so happy?
[16:00] Natsuki
No. It's not strange.
[16:05] Catherine
You can't even tell that she's not human.
[16:09] Natsuki
Well, that's probably why
they stopped making them.
[16:17] Atri
Are you all right?
[16:21] Natsuki
It did come off earlier...
[16:24] Natsuki
Not to mention this prosthetic
leg is an older model.
[16:28] Atri
So it's not high-performance, then.
[16:31] Natsuki
Well, that's one way to put it.
[16:50] Junker
Hmm... I see...
[16:55] Junker
She's a fourth-gen Yamasaki Factory model.
[16:58] Junker
She's two generations newer than this one.
[17:01] Natsuki
Two generations?
[17:03] Natsuki
They became awfully human-like in that time.
[17:06] Junker
Yeah, they were all the rage
when they first came out.
[17:10] Junker
But then they were all recalled.
[17:12] Catherine
Recalled?! What's that
gonna do to the price?!
[17:18] Catherine
Out of the way! Let's see it!
[17:23] Catherine
We get to split this amount
between the two of us?!
[17:26] Catherine
I-I won! I just won at the game of life!
[17:29] Natsuki
There must've been some kind of problem
since they were recalled, right?
[17:32] Natsuki
Are you sure this price is okay?
[17:33] Junker
Collectors love stuff like that though.
[17:36] Atri
That must mean that I was given a
price that you were satisfied with!
[17:40] Atri
As expected of my high-performance self!
[17:43] Junker
Well? Want me to find someone
who'll take her immediately?
[17:45] Catherine
But of course!
[17:47] Atri
Excuse me.
[17:48] Catherine
Huh?
[17:50] Atri
Could you wait just a little
while before you sell me?
[17:54] Atri
My former master...
[17:56] Atri
Rather, Nonko, gave me an order.
[18:01] Atri
Before I went to sleep.
[18:03] Atri
I would like for you to wait
until I fulfill that order!
[18:06] Natsuki
Grandma gave you an order?
[18:07] Catherine
What is it?
[18:08] Atri
That...
[18:16] Atri
...data has been lost.
[18:17] Catherine
What?!
[18:18] Atri
Huh?! What was it again?
[18:21] Atri
Um... Uuum...
[18:24] Natsuki
You actually forgot?
Even though you're a robot?
[18:28] Atri
In order to make sure that my
thought patterns are human-like,
[18:30] Atri
I also forget things just like humans!
[18:33] Atri
Um... what was it again?
[18:36] Atri
Do you remember, Master?
[18:38] Natsuki
How the hell would I remember?
[18:40] Atri
Oh, you're so useless!
[18:43] Atri
What do I do?
[18:45] Natsuki
Seriously...
[18:54] Atri
I can't believe I've lost
something so important,
[18:57] Atri
especially since I'm so high-performance.
[18:59] Catherine
Well, I think we know why she was recalled.
[19:03] Natsuki
I'm surprised he gave us that price
[19:05] Natsuki
on this piece of scrap.
[19:13] Atri
Calling a robot a piece of scrap goes
against the Robot Anti-Discrimination Statute!
[19:18] Atri
Please retract that at once!
[19:20] Natsuki
Where the heck were you even hiding that?!
[19:23] Natsuki
More importantly, could
you remember already?
[19:26] Catherine
Oh, for crying out loud.
[19:27] Catherine
I'll take her in for today.
[19:30] Natsuki
Huh?
[19:31] Catherine
Why are you surprised?
[19:32] Catherine
She can be sold as long as we have
her master's permission, right?
[19:35] Catherine
I can't leave her with you because
you might just up and run.
[19:38] Natsuki
We're selling her?
[19:39] Catherine
You mean you're not?
[19:43] Catherine
What difference is it going to make if she
remembers her dead master's orders or not?
[19:47] Catherine
Not to mention at this rate, I highly doubt
she'd be capable of even carrying it out.
[19:52] Catherine
You want a new leg, don't you?
[19:56] Natsuki
Atri.
[19:57] Atri
Yessir!
[20:01] Natsuki
Go with Catherine.
[20:04] Atri
Yessir.
[20:14] Catherine
Anyway, I'll contact you
when I find a buyer.
[20:17] Natsuki
Yeah.
[20:22] Catherine
Let's go.
[20:23] Atri
Yes, ma'am.
[20:27] Natsuki
H-Hey...
[20:31] Natsuki
Wait.
[20:36] Natsuki
Wait!
[20:43] Catherine
What?! It's malfunctioning?!
[20:45] Catherine
I knew I shouldn't have gotten one so cheap!
[20:53] Atri
Excuse me.
[20:54] Catherine
Huh?!
[20:56] Catherine
Oh, shit!
[20:58] Catherine
Show me what you've got, you piece of scrap!
[21:05] Natsuki
Hey, wait!
[21:08] Natsuki
Please wait!
[21:11] Natsuki
Wait...
[21:21] Atri
Master...
[21:35] Minamo
Natsu-kun.
[21:40] Minamo
You skinned your elbow.
I'll go get the first-aid kit...
[21:43] Natsuki
Sorry, could you leave me alone for a while?
[21:49] Minamo
Sure...
[22:04] Nonko
I even sent you to the Academy and you
had the nerve to come running back?
[22:09] Nonko
How pitiful are you?
[22:17] Natsuki
What was I supposed to do?
[22:22] Natsuki
Even I...
[22:28] Young Natsuki
Damn it! Damn it!
[22:31] Young Natsuki
No... No...
[22:44] Natsuki
Atri.
[22:47] Atri
Natsuki.
[22:52] Atri
I'll be your leg, Master!
