**[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!!
