[00:04] Ririka
    It's going so fast!
[00:05] Miyo
    The wind is so cold!
[00:07] Toru
    The splashing in the back is awesome!
[00:10] Natsuki
    Be careful not to fall!
[00:14] Natsuki
    This is the right way, right?
[00:18] Ryuuji
    You seriously think we can do this?
[00:20] Natsuki
    Do what?
[00:21] Ryuuji
    Tidal power generation!
[00:23] Natsuki
    Theoretically, it should be possible.
[00:25] Natsuki
    For a power generator, it doesn't matter
    if it's wind power or nuclear power.
[00:28] Natsuki
    It just needs to get the turbines to spin.
[00:31] Natsuki
    It's not that difficult.
[00:33] Ryuuji
    We're all just a bunch of kids!
[00:35] Ryuuji
    We don't have any materials
    or supplies either!
[00:37] Natsuki
    That's why we're going to look for some.
[00:40] Ryuuji
    And what if we can't do it?
[00:42] Natsuki
    Well, we would find out
    that we couldn't do it,
[00:45] Natsuki
    and then we'd try to figure
    out what the next step is.
[00:47] Natsuki
    That's called progress.
[00:51] Ryuuji
    Hmph.
[00:56] Minamo
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[00:58] Natsuki
    Why are you wearing a swimsuit, Minamo?
[01:00] Minamo
    Wait, should I not be?
[01:02] Minamo
    Atri mentioned we'd be diving
    so I thought I should.
[01:05] Natsuki
    We're talking about the ocean floor.
[01:06] Natsuki
    You'd have to be
    a professional diver.
[01:08] Ririka
    So this is gonna be electricity...
[01:10] Atri
    All right, let's go.
[01:13] Ririka
    Wow, it fits you perfectly, Atrin.
[01:16] Miyo
    I knew that Minamo's swimsuit from
    middle school would fit you perfectly.
[01:22] Atri
    She's complimenting me so why
    do I feel so unpleasant?
[01:28] Natsuki
    Okay, we're here.
[01:32] Natsuki
    All right...
[01:34] Natsuki
    Let's begin.
[03:08] Minamo
    Natsu-kun. Natsu-kun, can you hear me?
[03:08] Sign
    CRABS AND ELECTRICITY ARE IMPORTANT
[03:10] Natsuki
    Yeah, I just arrived.
[03:12] Minamo
    Whereabouts are you?
[03:14] Natsuki
    This is...
[03:16] Natsuki
    ...the intersection at Kannon-mae.
[03:19] Natsuki
    Atri, are you here?
[03:22] Natsuki
    Don't just show up out of nowhere!
[03:25] Natsuki
    Well? You got this?
[03:28] Natsuki
    I told you already. I can't
    hear what you're saying.
[03:43] Minamo
    What is it?
[03:44] Sign
    IMAGAWAYAKI KINOYA
[03:45] Natsuki
    I think this place sold Imagawayaki.
[03:48] Ririka
    Oh, I know that place!
    I always had my mom buy me some!

[03:51] Miyo
    Ryuu-chan, you like the custard ones, right?
[03:55] Ryuuji
    Did you find my family's factory?
[03:58] Natsuki
    Yeah, I found it.
[04:00] Sign
    COMPANY: NOJIMA PRECISION MACHINERY
    FACTORY NO. 1
[04:01] Natsuki
    Nojima Precision Machinery.
[04:04] Natsuki
    Your last name's Nojima?
[04:05] Ryuuji
    Shut up.
[04:07] Natsuki
    You said the resin's in the back warehouse.
[04:13] Natsuki
    I told you. I can't hear you.
[04:15] Atri
    A --ab! I -ound a --ab!
[04:17] Natsuki
    Don't "A crab! I found a crab!" me!
[04:20] Natsuki
    Anyway, according to Ryuuji,
[04:23] Natsuki
    there should be drums with resin
    in them in that warehouse.

[04:29] Natsuki
    Jeez...
[04:30] Natsuki
    More importantly, her expression...
[04:33] Natsuki
    We've gone way beyond uncanny valley.
[04:36] Minamo
    Uncanny valley?
[04:38] Natsuki
    It's the phenomenon where humans
    feel a sense of aversion
[04:42] Natsuki
    when robots are somewhat able
    to replicate human expressions.
[04:45] Natsuki
    It's considered something that
    Humanoids have to get past.
[04:49] Minamo
    But you're saying Atri did?
[04:52] Natsuki
    I guess... that just means she
    was built that close to humans.
[05:05] Ririka; Miyo; Toru
    Crabs!
[05:07] Atri
    Yes, crabs! I found some crabs!
[05:09] Natsuki
    You're a robot. Why are
    you so happy about that?
[05:12] Atri
    Crabs are delicious! And delicious
    equals happy!
[05:18] Minamo
    Great job!
[05:22] Minamo
    These are for making Imagawayaki...
[05:24] Natsuki
    Yeah. It still seemed usable.
[05:27] Natsuki
    Would you be able to gather the ingredients?
[05:29] Natsuki
    I'm sure that everyone would
    love to eat something sweet.
[05:31] Minamo
    Natsu-kun.
[05:33] Minamo
    We need flour, eggs, and red bean paste.
[05:36] Minamo
    I'll give it a try!
[05:37] Ryuuji
    Well? What about the resin?
    That's what you went down there for.
[05:42] Natsuki
    Right.
[05:43] Natsuki
    The lids were all on tight and
    there weren't any holes.
[05:45] Natsuki
    We can probably use them.
[05:47] Ryuuji
    Really?
[05:48] Natsuki
    I also found some tools from the
    factory that we can probably use.
[05:51] Natsuki
    Could you take a look at them?
[05:53] Ryuuji
    Huh?
[05:54] Ryuuji
    Y-Yeah... I guess
    I don't mind doing that much.
[06:00] Minamo
    All right!
[06:01] Minamo
    Once we get back to the island,
    we're all gonna have a barbecue!
[06:04] Ririka
    Really?
[06:05] Toru
    Yay, crabs!
[06:13] Atri
    It's so yummy!
[06:15] Minamo
    It is.
[06:17] Toru
    Robots eat food?
[06:20] Miyo
    No idea.
[06:21] Atri
    Heh.
[06:22] Atri
    We don't need to, but because I'm
    high-performance, I am able to eat!
[06:28] Atri
    Not only that! I have a precise
    sense of taste just like humans do!
[06:32] Toru
    That's amazing... or is it?
[06:35] Miyo
    If you don't need to eat, gimme.
[06:38] Minamo
    Everyone, gather round.
[06:41] Minamo
    These are done, too.
[06:43] Ririka
    Wow, they smell really good.
[06:45] Toru
    They're just like the ones we used to eat!
[06:48] Minamo
    We have custard, too.
[06:49] Ririka
    Really? I'll go give this to Ryuu-chan!
[06:54] Minamo
    Doing this makes it feel
    like a cultural festival.
[06:58] Atri
    A cultural festival? What's that?
[07:00] Minamo
    It's basically a festival we have at school.
[07:02] Minamo
    Each class will do
     something for it.
[07:04] Minamo
    Like put on plays, or sing songs...
[07:07] Minamo
    Oh, there were cafés and
    haunted houses, too.
[07:10] Atri
    Really?
[07:12] Minamo
    I know!
[07:13] Minamo
    Let's all do one together sometime!
    It'll be a lot of fun.
[07:15] Atri
    At school?
[07:17] Minamo
    Yeah.
[07:20] Atri
    Is it okay...
[07:22] Atri
    ...if I come, too?
[07:23] Minamo
    Of course! Why would you even ask that?
[07:30] Atri
    I wonder why...
[07:33] Ryuuji
    Again, that's not gonna work!
[07:36] Natsuki
    It'll be fine as long as
    we follow this blueprint.
[07:38] Ririka
    There's trouble!
[07:39] Ririka
    Mr. Natsuki and Ryuu-chan are duking it out!
[07:43] Minamo and Atri
    What?!
[07:45] Natsuki
    To efficiently generate electricity,
[07:47] Natsuki
    we have to make this
    part as light as possible.
[07:50] Ryuuji
    That's exactly what all the idiots haven't seen
    the machines in person would say.
[07:54] Ryuuji
    This shaft is constantly
    going to be under pressure.
[07:57] Ryuuji
    And if this part breaks,
    efficiency's not gonna matter.
[07:59] Natsuki
    According to my calculations,
    we should be fine...
[08:02] Ryuuji
    If everything went as calculated,
    things wouldn't be difficult!
[08:05] Ryuuji
    You don't know a damn thing!
[08:07] Atri
    No fighting!
[08:09] Atri
    If you insist on continuing,
    my Rocket Punch will go flying!
[08:14] Minamo
    Natsu-kun, calm down.
[08:16] Ririka
    You, too, Ryuu-chan.
[08:18] Ririka
    Here. I've got a custard one for you.
[08:19] Ryuuji
    What?
[08:21] Atri
    Eek! Hey, what was that for?
[08:24] Natsuki
    Who the heck is fighting?
[08:26] Minamo
    Huh? You mean you're not?
[08:28] Minamo
    But you two were shouting so loudly
    that we could hear you on the roof.
[08:32] Ryuuji
    O-Oh...
[08:34] Natsuki
    I mean, we were getting a little heated.
[08:36] Natsuki
    Though this was normal back at the Academy.
[08:41] Ryuuji
    A-Anyway, that's just how it is,
    so you should rethink this a bit.
[08:45] Ryuuji
    See ya.
[08:46] Natsuki
    Wait.
[08:48] Ryuuji
    Huh?
[08:49] Natsuki
    Do you have any interest in helping?
[08:50] Ryuuji
    Huh?
[08:53] Natsuki
    Honestly... I thought I had no
    choice but to do this on my own.
[08:56] Natsuki
    Because when we first talked,
    it didn't sound like you'd be any help.
[09:01] Ryuuji
    So you're saying...
[09:02] Ryuuji
    ...that you thought I was stupid?
[09:04] Natsuki
    If I'm being honest, yes.
    And I apologize for that.
[09:08] Natsuki
    I thought you were stupid...
[09:12] Natsuki
    ...and I'm sorry.
[09:14] Ryuuji
    What the hell?
[09:16] Natsuki
    This happened all the time at the Academy
    when I was studying rockets, too.
[09:20] Natsuki
    There were no problems with my calculations,
[09:23] Natsuki
    but when I would build them and try to get
    them to function, it wouldn't go well.
[09:27] Natsuki
    And the thing that helps out most
    in those situations is experience.
[09:32] Ryuuji
    Well, it's not like I've
    experienced any of this...
[09:35] Natsuki
    But you must've noticed a lot of things
    while you were helping out at the factory.
[09:39] Natsuki
    That'll be the most useful thing right now.
[09:42] Natsuki
    I really want to make this work!
[09:48] Minamo
    Ryuu-chan.
[09:49] Ririka
    I wanna read more books at school!
[09:54] Ryuuji
    Jeez... First, you're calm, then you get all
    heated, and then apologize outta nowhere.
[10:00] Ryuuji
    You're a pretty weird guy.
[10:01] Natsuki
    Huh?
[10:03] Ryuuji
    I'll apologize, too. I had
    the wrong idea about you.
[10:08] Ryuuji
    I look forward to working with you, Partner.
[10:10] Natsuki
    Likewise.
[10:17] Natsuki
    All right. Let's continue this meeting.
[10:20] Natsuki
    The rest of you are in the
    way, so please leave.
[10:21] Ririka
    What?!
[10:23] Minamo
    Let's go.
[10:28] Atri
    I guess Ryuuji is also
    being of use to Natsuki.
[10:32] Minamo
    Huh?
[10:36] Atri
    It's nothing.
[10:48] Natsuki
    Sorry to have you bring this here.
[10:51] Minamo
    It's fine. When I thought about it,
[10:53] Minamo
    I realized it'd be hard for
    you to get girl clothes.
[10:57] Minamo
    Do you think she'll like these?
[10:59] Natsuki
    Well, she's a Humanoid, so she probably
    won't really like or dislike anything.
[11:04] Minamo
    You think so?
[11:07] Minamo
    It's just that I have a hard time
    believing that Atri is a Humanoid.
[11:12] Minamo
    Even today, she was looking at Ryuu-chan
[11:14] Minamo
    and saying that he was being
    more useful than her.
[11:20] Natsuki
    If someone managed to create a Humanoid
    that's no different from a human being...
[11:24] Natsuki
    Should we treat them as human
    or treat them as a robot?
[11:31] Natsuki
    What do you think?
[11:35] Minamo
    Well...
[11:38] Atri
    Natsuki!
[11:40] Natsuki
    I'll be right there.
[11:42] Natsuki
    What-- Hm?
[11:45] Atri
    Am I wearing these properly?
[11:51] Natsuki
    What in the world is that?
[11:52] Atri
    I'm not sure.
[11:53] Atri
    Oh! I've heard of these before!
[11:55] Atri
    When a girl wears something where
    their underwear is just slightly visible,
[11:59] Atri
    it fills men with lust!
[12:00] Atri
    -Could it be, Natsuki, that you--
     -Absolutely not!
[12:02] Natsuki
    More importantly, what is this?
[12:04] Minamo
    Huh? It's a change of clothes.
[12:06] Natsuki
    I meant pajamas!
[12:08] Natsuki
    Why'd it end up being this underwear?
[12:10] Minamo
    What? Really?
[12:12] Natsuki
    Honestly...
[12:15] Atri
    I totally understand, Natsuki!
[12:17] Atri
    If that's how I can be useful to you...
[12:21] Atri
    My high-performance self...
[12:25] Atri
    ...you can have...
[12:26] Atri
    ...all of m--
[12:28] Natsuki
    Shut up.
[12:31] Minamo
    Sorry! I'll go get some pajamas!
[12:35] Minamo
    Huh?
[12:41] Catherine
    Hi!
[12:51] Catherine
    Don't you move! I'm sure
    you don't want to get hurt.
[12:56] Natsuki
    What are you doing?
[12:58] Catherine
    Isn't it obvious? I came to get...
[13:02] ---
    ...her.
[13:04] Natsuki
    I guess you're throwing
    out our deal to split the amount?
[13:08] Catherine
    Guess so. Sorry, but I
    need even more money now.
[13:13] Catherine
    I figured you'd already turned
    her into cash by now,
[13:16] Catherine
    but I guess you're surprisingly earnest, kid.
[13:21] Minamo
    R-Run, Atri! Run!
[13:24] Catherine
    I guess you want to get hurt!
[13:26] Catherine
    Go on! Say that you hand over the
    authority to be her master to me!
[13:36] Natsuki
    It's no use. If I try to charge her with
    this leg, she's just going to dodge me.

[13:41] Natsuki
    Even if I tell Atri to fight,
    Humanoids can't attack humans.

[13:46] Catherine
    Hurry it up, kid!
[13:49] Catherine
    I'm serious about this!
[13:54] Natsuki
    A-All right! I'll say it right now.
[13:57] Minamo
    Natsu-kun, no...
[14:01] Natsuki
    Atri...
[14:02] Atri
    Rocket...
[14:04] Atri
    ...Punch!
[14:11] Catherine
    Ow...
[14:14] Atri
    Harrumph! How'd you like my special attack?
[14:18] Atri
    Believe it or not! I actually held back!
[14:21] Natsuki
    Atri...
[14:23] Catherine
    Y-You actually attacked a human...
[14:26] Catherine
    You stupid piece of scrap!
[14:27] Atri
    What?! A-A stupid piece of scrap?!
[14:31] Catherine
    Hurry up and turn into literal scrap!
[14:33] Catherine
    -You moron! Knucklehead! Bolts for brains!
    -Harrumph!
[14:35] ---
    How rude of you to call me
    a stupid piece of scrap!
[14:37] Atri
    I've chased away the thing that wanted
    to cause you harm, Natsuki!
[14:41] Atri
    Did I do a good job? Was I useful?
[14:44] Natsuki
    Yeah.
[14:45] Atri
    Then please praise me.
[14:50] Atri
    See? I can be useful!
[14:53] Atri
    Because I am high-performance, after all!
[14:57] Atri
    -When it comes down to it, I can be--
    -Atri.
[15:00] Atri
    Hm?
[15:01] Natsuki
    Are you happy?
[15:04] Atri
    Yes! Very much so!

    GRADE SCHOOL TEACHER LICENSE
[15:16] Minamo
    This is...
[15:20] Natsuki
    A teacher? Her?
[15:22] Minamo
    Yeah. Her real name is Hanako Osada.
[15:26] Natsuki
    Hanako?
[15:27] Minamo
    According to Ririka, there was a teacher
    called Ms. Hana-chan up until a few years ago.
[15:33] Natsuki
    Then she was a teacher at this school?
[15:36] Minamo
    Probably.
[15:37] Natsuki
    But how did she end up like that?
[15:40] Minamo
    I'm not sure,
[15:42] Minamo
    but when she held that knife
    up to me, she was trembling.
[15:47] Minamo
    I don't think she's actually a bad person.
[15:51] Natsuki
    Well, she did have some
    debt collectors after her.
[15:54] Natsuki
    She probably didn't have a choice.
[15:56] Sign
    EVERYONE'S CLASSROOM
[16:00] Ryuuji
    Oh, there you are.
[16:02] Natsuki
    How's it going?
[16:03] Ryuuji
    The resin looks like it'll be fine.
[16:05] Ryuuji
    We'll probably be able to find the rest of
    the materials at some abandoned hardware store.
[16:10] Natsuki
    Then we can move on to the next step.
[16:13] Minamo
    The next step?
[16:15] Natsuki
    There's something we just can't
    make with the tools we have here...
[16:18] Natsuki
    This part.
[16:19] Minamo
    The motor?
[16:20] Natsuki
    Yeah, as well as the storage batteries.
[16:24] Minamo
    I see. If we don't have batteries,
[16:27] Minamo
    even if we make electricity
    we can't store it.
[16:29] Natsuki
    Right. I'm pretty sure we'll
    be able to get a motor easily.
[16:33] Natsuki
    There are plenty of factories on
    this island that were abandoned.
[16:37] Natsuki
    The problem's gonna be the batteries.
[16:39] Minamo
    Everyone wanted them.
[16:41] Natsuki
    The school had storage batteries
    in the case of emergencies,
[16:44] Natsuki
    but when I checked earlier,
    they were all gone.
[16:47] Natsuki
    Which probably means...
[16:55] Atri
    There isn't one here either!
[16:57] Natsuki
    I figured as much.
[17:00] Ririka
    Just the battery's been
    taken out of here, too.
[17:02] Minamo
    Wow, I guess there really
    aren't any anywhere.
[17:06] Natsuki
    The power plants stopped
    running due to the sea rise.
[17:09] Natsuki
    There were power outages throughout
    the world for a while,
[17:12] Natsuki
    so all kinds of batteries were
    being sold for ridiculous prices.
[17:15] Minamo
    Does that mean they've all been taken?
[17:20] Natsuki
    I'm not sure if it'll be usable or not...
[17:24] Natsuki
    But I guess we can look in the ocean.
[17:31] Minamo
    How'd it go?
[17:32] Atri
    Unfortunately, not good.
[17:38] Natsuki
    It's no use. Everything has the
    batteries swiped from them.
[17:42] Minamo
    Even at the bottom of the ocean?
[17:44] Natsuki
    I'm sure people came in submarines
    from the mainland and swiped them.
[17:48] Minamo
    That's just really sad...
[17:52] Junker
    If you want a battery that
    you can buy at this price...
[17:56] Natsuki
    Huh?
[17:58] Minamo
    That's it?
[17:59] Natsuki
    That's way too expensive!
[18:01] Junker
    If you don't like it,
    you can go somewhere else.
[18:03] Junker
    Though no matter where you go,
    you're gonna hear the same thing.
[18:09] Natsuki
    Let's go.
[18:11] Junker
    Hey, wait!
[18:13] Junker
    That little one... Is that the Humanoid
    you brought here to sell before?
[18:19] Natsuki
    Yeah, you remembered?
[18:21] Junker
    I-I don't mind bartering
    if you'll trade me for her.
[18:25] Junker
    You can have this, and this, and this!
[18:29] Natsuki
    Huh?
[18:29] Junker
    There's someone looking for her.
[18:32] Junker
    And they said they'd pay
    any amount of cash for her!
[18:36] Natsuki
    For Atri?
[18:40] Atri
    Then that must mean that I am valuable!
[18:43] Junker
    Er, well, yeah.
[18:45] Atri
    Way to go, high-performance me!
[18:48] Atri
    Well? Now do you see?
[18:49] Atri
    This means that I am not a piece of scrap!
[18:51] Junker
    If that's not enough,
    I'll throw this in, too.
[18:54] Junker
    What do ya say?
[18:56] Natsuki
    Why is this Humanoid worth so much?
[18:59] Junker
    Well... Because she's rare.
[19:02] Natsuki
    Huh?
[19:04] Natsuki
    Even if she's rare, this
    is clearly way too much.
[19:07] Natsuki
    There must be some reason.
[19:10] Junker
    I can't say...
[19:12] Natsuki
    You don't have any documents?
[19:14] Sign
    FIRST GEN: COSMO
    SECOND GEN: SISUTA
    THIRD GEN: AIRS
    FOURTH GEN: DISCONTINUED
[19:16] Natsuki
    The fourth gen from Yamasaki Factories...
[19:19] Natsuki
    It just says "discontinued."
[19:22] Natsuki
    You said they were recalled, right?
[19:24] Natsuki
    Do you know why?
    Because they looked too human?
[19:28] Junker
    That's just a front.
[19:29] Junker
    But I don't know the actual reason, either.
[19:32] Junker
    Manufacturers love to hide stuff like that.
[19:37] Junker
    There's a decent amount
    of Humanoid collectors.
[19:40] Junker
    And with those guys, they'll dish out
    a fortune just because they're rare.
[19:44] Junker
    That's just how it is.
[19:52] Natsuki
    I'm sure that's true about collectors.
[19:54] Natsuki
    But then why did Grandma have
    her hidden away so carefully?

[19:59] Natsuki
    I can't imagine she held onto
    her just because she was rare.

[20:02] Natsuki
    Which means that it's
    not just her appearance.

[20:05] Natsuki
    Her thought processes and emotions
    were also made to be like a human's...

[20:08] Minamo
    I wonder what we should do.
[20:10] Natsuki
    Huh?
[20:11] Minamo
    Ryuu-chan's surprisingly motivated for once.
[20:14] Natsuki
    Yeah...
[20:16] Natsuki
    Worst case scenario, I'll just take off the
    battery that's on the submarine and use that.
[20:19] Minamo
    What? But doesn't that mean you
    won't be able to dive anymore?
[20:23] Natsuki
    Pretty much.
[20:25] Minamo
    I'm not sure if that's a good idea...
[20:32] Atri
    Excuse me.
[20:34] Natsuki
    Huh?
[20:37] Atri
    Please sell me.
[20:40] Minamo
    Atri...
[20:43] Atri
    If you sell me, you'll be able
    to get some batteries, right?
[20:46] Atri
    That means that you'll have
    light in the school, right?
[20:49] Atri
    And I'll be useful to you, Natsuki.
[20:54] Natsuki
    I thought you were going to be my leg.
[20:58] Atri
    But you said you didn't need me for that.
[21:01] Natsuki
    What about my grandma's orders?
[21:04] Atri
    I've said this before,
[21:05] Atri
    but Humanoids are born to
    grant their master's wishes.
[21:11] Natsuki
    Are you okay with that?
[21:17] Natsuki
    You won't be able to be by my side anymore.
[21:27] Atri
    I'm not okay with it.
[21:29] Atri
    I'll be very lonely.
[21:35] Atri
    But if Natsuki's wish will come true...
[21:40] Minamo
    Atri...
[21:41] Natsuki
    Anyway, I'm not selling you!
[21:45] Atri
    Then why don't you use my battery?
[21:49] Atri
    There happens to be a very, very
    high-performance battery within me!
[21:53] Atri
    Because I'm high-per--
[21:54] Natsuki
    No!
[22:00] Atri
    Natsuki...
[22:07] Natsuki
    Damn it.
