[00:01] ---
    Lately, lots of people have been illegally downloading TV shows over the internet.
[00:06] ---
    Without the right holders' permission,
[00:08] ---
    distribution, via the internet or bootlegs,
[00:11] ---
    is illegal.
[00:13] ---
    Please be careful.
[00:20] ---
    You're the one who needs to be careful, you sick excuse for a magical girl!
[00:27] ---
    Morning!
[00:28] ---
    Hakone-chan, let's go to school!
[00:33] ---
    OK, wait just a second.
[00:41] ---
    Sen-nii... I hope you like it.
[00:45] ---
    Hey, morning.
[00:48] ---
    Sen-nii, morning.
[00:49] ---
    Sorry, Iono. Hakone'll be done in a second.
[00:53] ---
    Don't apologize.
[00:54] ---
    I'm the one who hangs out on her doorstep every morning.
[00:57] ---
    Hey, Sen-nii...
[01:00] ---
    Would you-
[01:04] ---
    What?
[01:06] ---
    Nothing.
[01:07] ---
    What's with that stupid look on your face?
[01:09] ---
    When are you ever gonna get a girlfriend?
[01:12] ---
    Shut up.
[01:13] ---
    You can ask me that after you get a boyfriend.
[01:20] ---
    Dummy.
[01:21] ---
    Huh?
[01:24] ---
    It's nothing!
[02:57] ---
    Hey, Iono-chan?
[02:59] ---
    What is it?
[03:00] ---
    You still haven't asked my brother out?
[03:03] ---
    What are you suddenly talking about?
[03:06] ---
    It's not sudden at all.
[03:07] ---
    You've been after him for a long time.
[03:10] ---
    I think I can feel safe leaving him in your hands.
[03:14] ---
    Leaving him in my hands?
[03:16] ---
    And if I wasn't after him?
[03:18] ---
    If you weren't, I would take him myself!
[03:23] ---
    Still, Hakone-chan, you've become a lot more forward lately.
[03:28] ---
    You used to be pretty quiet.
[03:31] ---
    You think so?
[03:32] ---
    I don't really know,
[03:35] ---
    but I think I feel better than I used to.
[03:38] ---
    Maybe it's because Mom's watching over me.
[03:41] ---
    Just kidding!
[03:42] ---
    Anyhow, let me give you some advice
[03:44] ---
    from a much happier Hakone:
[03:47] ---
    you come by every morning,
[03:49] ---
    so you should tell him you like him.
[03:51] ---
    I'm cheering you on, OK?
[03:54] ---
    I'll help out in any way I can.
[03:56] ---
    Thanks, Hakone-chan,
[03:59] ---
    but for now, I think I'm fine
[04:02] ---
    using you as a pretext to see him every morning.
[04:06] ---
    Someday, I'll tell him, OK?
[04:09] ---
    That's so cute, Iono-chan.
[04:11] ---
    Don't tease your elders!
SIGN    Iono Crisis
[04:21] ---
    Iono Crisis.
[04:23] ---
    I had no idea
[04:25] ---
    that kind of girl was around that barbarian.
[04:28] ---
    And...
[04:30] ---
    Tomonaga Iono-chan is a childhood friend to Sento-kun and Hakone-chan.
[04:34] ---
    She's giving off pretty obvious lovey-dovey vibes,
[04:38] ---
    but Sento-kun doesn't seem to notice at all.
[04:40] ---
    A childhood friend...
[04:43] ---
    I can't let my guard down, then.
[04:45] ---
    Let your guard down for what?
[04:46] ---
    Nothing.
[04:49] ---
    You two!
[04:51] ---
    Oh, hey there.
[04:53] ---
    I already told you that this isn't your damned break room!
[04:56] ---
    I didn't... I mean, Plug insisted we come.
[05:00] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[05:01] ---
    I'm definitely not using Plug as an excuse to see you.
[05:03] ---
    My, you're such a ladies' man...
[05:07] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:09] ---
    Sure is tough being so popular with the girls, huh?
[05:11] ---
    Stop it.
[05:13] ---
    Enough, already!
[05:20] ---
    Not that I care, but don't you guys have work to do?
[05:24] ---
    Your boss'll chew you out again.
[05:25] ---
    I know that.
[05:27] ---
    I was just about to change into my suit.
[05:30] ---
    Change?
[05:33] ---
    Right, right. I'm on the job.
[05:38] ---
    Hey, Plug!
[05:39] ---
    You just changed in front of a guy.
[05:42] ---
    A guy?
[05:43] ---
    Where?
[05:44] ---
    Ouch! Ow!
[05:45] ---
    Come on...
[05:47] ---
    I've always been surrounded by girls,
[05:49] ---
    so I never really thought about it.
[05:51] ---
    But when you change into that suit,
[05:53] ---
    you're almost naked, aren't you?
[05:56] ---
    And right in front of him?
[05:58] ---
    Don't "what" me, girl!
[06:01] ---
    What am I thinking?
[06:03] ---
    They're just my work clothes.
[06:04] ---
    I'm not slutty at all.
[06:07] ---
    I'm not slutty...
[06:09] ---
    I'm not slutty!
[06:12] ---
    But...
[06:14] ---
    But...
[06:16] ---
    But...
[06:18] ---
    I'm so embarrassed...
[06:24] ---
    This transformation sequence took 0.01 seconds.
[06:29] ---
    I'm done.
[06:31] ---
    See, it's like this.
[06:33] ---
    What the heck are you doing?
[06:35] ---
    But you know,
[06:37] ---
    the more I see you,
[06:39] ---
    the more I realize you're really my type of girl, Arresta.
[06:44] ---
    He's looking at me.
[06:45] ---
    I'm letting him look.
[06:46] ---
    I'm being looked at!
[06:48] ---
    It's so strange...
[06:49] ---
    Why do I feel like this?
[06:54] ---
    OK, let's take a look at that transformation scene again.
[06:57] ---
    Enough!
[07:03] ---
    Get the hell to work!
[07:08] ---
    Hey!
[07:09] ---
    This is Iono-chan's school.
SIGN    Student Council Room
[07:20] ---
    Again, I couldn't give it to him.
[07:26] ---
    I have to do something.
[07:28] ---
    I can't just be his childhood friend forever.
[07:32] ---
    But I'm scared of wrecking that relationship.
[07:41] ---
    Iono, you're not going home yet?
[07:43] ---
    No, just a bit longer.
[07:45] ---
    I'm having trouble balancing the student council budget.
[07:48] ---
    You're the last one here, so lock up.
[07:50] ---
    Got it!
[07:54] ---
    OK, just a little more!
[08:12] ---
    Someone vandalized the school?
[08:14] ---
    Our school?
[08:15] ---
    No way!
[08:16] ---
    But they ignored all the places that were locked.
[08:19] ---
    What? Then they didn't get anything, did they?
[08:22] ---
    Well, you see, they did...
[08:25] ---
    In the student council room.
[08:35] ---
    Iono hasn't come back?
[08:38] ---
    She feels really responsible for things like this.
[08:40] ---
    She thinks it's her fault that the school got vandalized.
[08:45] ---
    Iono...
[08:51] ---
    I can't find any targets.
[08:54] ---
    At this rate, I'll get my salary cut again.
[08:56] ---
    Warning depth C!
[08:58] ---
    Where, where?
[09:02] ---
    Iono-chan?
[09:04] ---
    Iono!
[09:09] ---
    Sen-nii...
[09:17] ---
    It's kind of hard to talk to him like that.
[09:20] ---
    I heard most of what happened from Hakone.
[09:22] ---
    Sounds pretty bad.
[09:24] ---
    Well, buck up.
[09:26] ---
    I can't.
[09:28] ---
    Leave me alone for now.
[09:29] ---
    I can't!
[09:32] ---
    If I leave you alone,
[09:34] ---
    you'll end up blaming yourself until you go nuts.
[09:37] ---
    I think I heard that somewhere...
[09:40] ---
    I-I'm not that weak. I-
[09:43] ---
    Anyway, I won't leave you alone right now.
[09:45] ---
    I'm staying with you.
[09:47] ---
    Got it?
[09:51] ---
    You still haven't asked my brother out?
[09:54] ---
    I-I can't. Not now...
[09:57] ---
    The reason I screwed up was because
[09:59] ---
    I was thinking of Sen-nii so much already. But...
[10:05] ---
    Who cares what the reason was?
[10:07] ---
    More importantly, Hakone's really worried.
[10:10] ---
    And to be honest, I don't want to see you this down.
[10:16] ---
    Sen-nii...
[10:20] ---
    But if I do it now...
[10:24] ---
    Sen-nii, I...
[10:27] ---
    Tell me anything I can do to help.
[10:29] ---
    You're like a little sister to me, after all.
[10:36] ---
    Yeah, I got it.
[10:42] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:43] ---
    I'm going home alone.
[10:45] ---
    Hey, wait, Iono!
[10:47] ---
    Just leave me alone!
[10:49] ---
    Iono...
[10:52] ---
    Iono-chan!
[11:09] ---
    He's got such a cute girl, and he calls her a little sister?
[11:13] ---
    That's worse than "childhood friend."
[11:16] ---
    Stupid Sento.
[11:18] ---
    Iono-chan.
[11:21] ---
    No, I'm the idiot.
[11:23] ---
    They even took the present I wanted to give him.
[11:33] ---
    I was sure I'd be able to give it to him the next chance I got, too.
[11:36] ---
    I'm such a fool.
[11:39] ---
    You really do like him, don't you?
[11:42] ---
    Just wait! I'll inject you with some energy!
[11:46] ---
    This'll fix everything!
[11:48] ---
    Yeah, I should give up.
[11:50] ---
    I should give up on him.
[11:53] ---
    There's nothing wrong with being just a childhood friend or like a little sister.
[11:58] ---
    Iono-chan.
[12:01] ---
    If I charge her now, she really will give up on him!
[12:07] ---
    I can't do that.
[12:13] ---
    Sen-nii!
[12:20] ---
    Wash basin!
[12:23] ---
    Brother!
[12:25] ---
    Did you say something weird to Iono-chan?
[12:27] ---
    She hasn't cheered up, even though I called her.
[12:30] ---
    Something weird? No way.
[12:32] ---
    I said that she was like a little sister, so to ask me for anything.
[12:35] ---
    A little sister?
[12:37] ---
    That's what you told her?
[12:38] ---
    But she is, isn't she?
[12:40] ---
    I think of her as...
[12:43] ---
    Hakone?
[12:45] ---
    Stupid brother!
[12:50] ---
    What's with her?
[12:51] ---
    Jeez!
[12:53] ---
    Why are you mad, too?
[12:55] ---
    Why?
[12:56] ---
    The same reason as Hakone-chan!
[12:58] ---
    Stupid Sento-kun!
[12:59] ---
    What?
[13:01] ---
    Jeez, Brother...
[13:05] ---
    I don't want to hear that from you!
[13:08] ---
    But why is everyone calling me an idiot?
[13:11] ---
    I don't get it.
[13:16] ---
    Ow-ow-ow...
[13:17] ---
    How can you not understand?
[13:19] ---
    But if he's that dense, it's possible nothing I say will get through.
[13:25] ---
    What can I do to make her happy again?
[13:30] ---
    I guess I'll watch some TV.
[13:39] ---
    That's as far as you go, Tuxedo Whore!
[13:41] ---
    Return all the stolen treasure to the villagers, before I stuff it up your ass!
[13:44] ---
    Bitch-kun is right!
[13:46] ---
    The treasure embodies the people's love and hope.
[13:49] ---
    I, Millie, will return it
[13:51] ---
    and bring back everyone's smiles!
[13:54] ---
    That's it!
[14:00] ---
    That sensor sound I heard was Plug, I bet.
[14:08] ---
    Iono.
[14:11] ---
    Sorry about that. I didn't mean to hit you.
[14:15] ---
    Anyway, about Iono...
[14:18] ---
    Show some spine, damn it!
[14:20] ---
    That's not worth a box of expired love from the bottom of the discount rack,
[14:23] ---
    you filthy bitch!
[14:25] ---
    I won't lose!
[14:26] ---
    It's so sticky...
[14:29] ---
    Plug?
[14:44] ---
    As long as I have this, I can bring back her smile!
[14:49] ---
    I was sure I'd be able to give it to him this time...
[14:52] ---
    If that present returns,
[14:54] ---
    I'm sure she won't give up on Sento-kun.
[14:57] ---
    Just wait, Iono-chan,
[14:59] ---
    I'll bring back the embodiment of your love!
[15:04] ---
    Sento-kun, get the front next, OK?
[15:07] ---
    Right.
[15:14] ---
    Then take out the trash, clean out back,
[15:17] ---
    then get the windows cleaned...
[15:19] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    Sento-kun?
[15:27] ---
    OK, now's the time to use the latest technology from Life Core!
[15:33] ---
    Neodyme's latest life checker!
[15:35] ---
    More accurately measures warning depths
[15:38] ---
    and finds targets in need of charging!
[15:40] ---
    Truly, a wonder of Life Core technology!
[15:44] ---
    Now, where are you, Mr. School Wrecker?
[15:47] ---
    Don't underestimate the latest Life Core technology.
[15:50] ---
    So, um, how do I use this to find him?
[15:54] ---
    The latest in Life Core technology is useless for anything but charging!
[16:01] ---
    Anyway, I just have to look for him!
[16:03] ---
    I can do it if I try!
[16:04] ---
    I merely have to try!
[16:21] ---
    Ow!
[16:22] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[16:23] ---
    Guess I pulled too hard.
[16:27] ---
    Sento-kun!
[16:28] ---
    That was a bit violent don't you think?
[16:30] ---
    I apologized, didn't I?
[16:33] ---
    So, what can I do to help?
[16:37] ---
    I don't really get it, but it's for Iono, right?
[16:40] ---
    So, I have to help.
[16:42] ---
    Sento-kun!
[16:44] ---
    But it's really his fault for being so dense, isn't it?
[16:50] ---
    What?
[16:51] ---
    Nothing.
[17:29] ---
    Sorry, sorry, sorry!
[17:39] ---
    I guess it may be impossible...
[17:41] ---
    What are you saying?
[17:42] ---
    We're just getting started.
[17:45] ---
    Let's go.
[17:47] ---
    Let's rest a bit more!
[17:49] ---
    Shut up.
[17:51] ---
    He's working so hard to help her.
[17:55] ---
    Hmph, I've got my work to do.
[17:57] ---
    Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!
[18:01] ---
    Charge!
[18:04] ---
    I guess I should turn myself in.
[18:07] ---
    Excuse me!
[18:09] ---
    I was the one who trashed the school!
[18:13] ---
    Alias John Smith
[18:15] ---
    could not withstand the guilt and turned himself in
[18:17] ---
    for the crime of vandalizing the school!
[18:19] ---
    Thus, the case was solved!
[18:24] ---
    Huh?
[18:29] ---
    I'm so glad.
[18:30] ---
    Good work, Arresta!
[18:35] ---
    Why?
[18:48] ---
    Like a little sister.
[18:51] ---
    Yeah.
[18:53] ---
    Iono-chan.
[19:01] ---
    Why am I hesitating?
[19:04] ---
    I'm giving up, aren't I?
[19:10] ---
    Hakone-chan?
[19:12] ---
    He told me to keep it a secret,
[19:15] ---
    but my brother was looking for the guy who vandalized the school.
[19:18] ---
    He wanted you to feel better.
[19:22] ---
    He never did find him, but...
[19:24] ---
    So, please forgive my brother!
[19:29] ---
    Sen-nii...
[19:31] ---
    Fight One Shot!
[19:33] ---
    Charge!
[19:54] ---
    Sorry, Iono-chan.
[19:56] ---
    But he really does want you to feel better.
[20:02] ---
    So...
[20:06] ---
    Sen-nii!
[20:08] ---
    I want to tell you something!
[20:13] ---
    Iono?
[20:15] ---
    She looks so much better.
[20:16] ---
    Plug must've done it.
[20:18] ---
    Sen-nii!
[20:19] ---
    What?
[20:20] ---
    Who is "a little sister" to you?
[20:22] ---
    What am I to you?
[20:24] ---
    A little sister?
[20:25] ---
    My little sister's Hakone.
[20:27] ---
    And me?
[20:29] ---
    Um, a girl who's my childhood friend.
[20:41] ---
    I-Iono?
[20:43] ---
    I'm going to change that "childhood friend" into something else.
[20:55] ---
    Here you go.
[21:00] ---
    This is...
[21:01] ---
    A present for my beloved Sen-nii.
[21:04] ---
    Um, thank you.
[21:21] ---
    Morning, Hakone-chan!
[21:23] ---
    Morning, Iono-chan.
[21:26] ---
    Hey, Iono.
[21:27] ---
    Morning, Sen-nii.
[21:32] ---
    Morning...
[21:35] ---
    Good for you, Iono-chan.
[21:43] ---
    But what is Sento-kun to me?
[21:48] ---
    Not that I care!
[21:52] ---
    Why am I doing this?
[22:03] ---
    Now, for a bonus: Millie's transformation.
[22:06] ---
    Moe-flat chest, Moe-flat chest,
    Magical Millie Change!
[22:25] ---
    Now, what do you want to transform into, Millie?
[22:29] ---
    Wait, there's no time!
[22:31] ---
    See you next week!
[22:33] ---
    Huh? Next week?
[24:05] ---
    So, how'd it go?
[24:06] ---
    That Iono girl's confession to Sento-san?
[24:09] ---
    Perfect!
[24:10] ---
    But Sento-kun totally ignored it.
[24:12] ---
    What's he thinking?
[24:14] ---
    Don't ask me.
[24:16] ---
    Well, maybe "childhood friend" doesn't have
[24:19] ---
    enough impact for a dense guy like that.
[24:21] ---
    I see. That's good to know.
[24:22] ---
    Next Time on Charger Girl:
[24:25] ---
    Happening!
[24:26] ---
    Summer! The Sea! Swimming! And so...
[24:29] ---
    Time to put on my sexiest swimsuit!
[24:30] ---
    No, I think your regular suit will have more impact.
[24:33] ---
    See you next time!!
