    Yep.

    Don't "yep" me!

    The only responses I want to
    hear from y'all are "yes" and "no."
[01:51] Annabelle
    And end your sentences with "ma'am."
[01:53] Mina
    Question.
[01:54] Annabelle
    What is it?
[01:56] Mina
    Ms. Annabelle, I don't think it's very
    nice to call people insects or crap.
[02:03] Annabelle
    Don't talk back to your superior officer!
[02:05] Annabelle
    We'll start with ten laps around town!
[02:08] All
    Huh?
[02:10] Annabelle
    I'll be behind y'all.
[02:12] Annabelle
    If I catch up to you,
    I'll whack your butt with this!
[02:15] Annabelle
    Got it?!
[02:18] Vivi
    Getting hit hurts. Why would you do that?
[02:23] Annabelle
    Doz, tell her.
[02:25] Doz
    Yes, ma'am.
[02:27] Dooz
    She does it so you insects will run fast!
[02:29] Vivi
    What?!
[02:31] Noela
    Woof.
[02:35] Annabelle
    You! Who said you could run now?
[02:37] Noela
    Woof?
[02:38] Noela
    I'm running around town. You said so.
[02:42] Annabelle
    First I'll give the signal,
    then you start running.
[02:45] Moz
    That's right. Maintain discipline.
[02:48] Moz
    "Walk in step" is the signal.
[02:51] Reiji
    The free-spirited Noela can't handle acting
    as part of a group or maintaining discipline.

[02:58] (Flashback) Vivi
    Reiji, could you make me a medicine
    that will make me stronger?
[03:03] (Flashback) Reiji
    It's not good to rely on
    medicines to fix everything.
[03:07] (Flashback) Vivi
    But there's no other way.
[03:09] (Flashback) Annabelle
    Hey.
[03:10] (Flashback) Annabelle
    I came to pick up today's potions,

    Nah, I'm good. I don't want to get stronger.

    Just watching is boring. Run with us.

    Huh?

    But I was planning to take
    it easy and have a nap!

    Mr. Reiji, you're running with us?
[04:18] Reiji
    Yeah...

    No, wait...

    Hey, you're the only one fallin' behind!

    S-Sorry!

    Too slow!
[04:38] Reiji
    Ow!

    Huh? But my boys like it when I hit them.
[04:45] Reiji
    I'm not like those perverts!

    Did you say something'?
[04:50] Reiji
    No, nothing.
[04:53] Reiji
    I want to go home.

    Don't you think Ms. Annabelle is
    being extra nice to Mr. Reiji?
[06:24] Noela
    Woof.
[06:25] Mina
    I don't think it's right
[06:27] Mina
    for a teacher to show special
    treatment to individual students.
[06:32] Mina
    Bringing personal feelings into
    the brigade disrupts discipline.

    It could even lead to discord.

    givin' you permission to speak!
[06:51] Mina
    I don't think it's right to
    always talk down to others.
[06:56] Mina
    If you instruct people based on
    illogical emotional arguments,
[07:01] Mina
    then your mercenary band can't be very good.
[07:06] Reiji
    Hey, Mina!
[07:08] Reiji
    Ms. Annabelle's taking time out
    of her schedule for you guys.
[07:11] Reiji
    Stop putting her on the spot.
[07:14] Mina
    Understood.

    All right, insects! I want
    500 more from each of y'all!

    Huh?
[07:22] Vivi
    I can't!
[07:24] Annabelle
    Yes, you can!
[07:25] Doz
    That's right. This is a typical
    workout for a mercenary company.
[07:29] Moz
    Yeah. We do this every day.

    Hey, I finished the medicine.
[08:46] Reiji
    Huh?! What have you been doing?!
[08:50] Reiji
    I'm glad I was about to get out of that.

    Woof!
[09:00] Annabelle
    Hey, you. Why don't you
    join my mercenary company?
[09:03] Doz
    But she can't act as part of a group.
[09:05] Moz
    She's too free-spirited.
[09:07] Noela
    I'm not joining. I'd rather be with Master.
[09:11] Reiji
    There, there.
[09:12] Noela
    Woof.
[09:13] Reiji
    Oh, right. Here. This is the medicine I made.
[09:18] Reiji
    It helps your muscles recover.
[09:21] Reiji
    If you drink it after working out, it should
    strengthen your muscles more efficiently.
[09:26] Annabelle
    Huh. This'll really make
    it easier to build muscle?
[09:31] Reiji
    It's not very effective for
    people who are already muscular.
[09:34] Reiji
    After all, they've already got muscles.
[09:36] Doz
    Then it's pointless.
[09:38] Reiji
    But beginners should see good results.

    That's great.

    Woof!

    It's sweet. Now I'm ripped!

    Those don't speak!

    That's something first-rate bodybuilders say!

    Also, has your voice gotten deeper?!

    I can hear them... I can hear them.

    N-Noela, come back!
[10:46] Mina
    Is something wrong with Ms. Noela?
[10:48] Reiji
    Oh, Mina. I guess my new
    medicine was too effective.
[10:51] Reiji
    Apparently she's hallucinating
    that her biceps are speaking to...
[11:04] Reiji
    Did you drink it, too?!
[11:06] Mina
    Yes. I was thirsty,
    so I gratefully accepted your gift.
[11:14] Mina
    Ms. Noela can hear her biceps speaking?
[11:17] Mina
    I wonder what happened to her.
[11:19] Reiji
    Huh?
[11:20] Mina
    I can hear my abs speaking to me.
[11:23] Reiji
    You, too?! What happened to you?! Do you have any self-awareness?!

    And you're not hearing anything!
    That's a hallucination!

[12:02] Noela
    Yo! Look at those abs. Is that a
    bar of chocolate on your stomach?

    I can't do it. Nothing can
    come between them now.

    But B was panting.
[20:23] Noela
    I knew right away that it was Ejil.
[20:25] Reiji
    Panting?
[20:27] Ejil
    When I saw Ms. Noela fervently
    smelling me, I couldn't help myself.
[20:37] Reiji
    So you're just a pervert!
[20:39] Ejil
    However, the medicine you
    made is the real deal.
[20:43] Ejil
    If I pour that over myself every day,
    then Ms. Noela will smell me every day!
[20:53] Reiji
    Ejil, that's your problem.
[20:56] Ejil
    Come, Ms. Noela.
[20:58] Ejil
    Right now I smell just like our master.
[21:04] Noela
    Woof.
[21:05] Noela
    I don't like Ejil.
[21:08] Reiji
    Listen, Noela. Ejil says he
    wants to get along with you.
[21:14] Reiji
    You both work at the same store. Don't you
    think it'd be better if you got along?
[21:19] Noela
    In that case, fine.
[21:22] Reiji
    Then shake hands and make up.
[21:26] Ejil
    Ms. Noela...
[21:28] Ejil
    This must be tsundere behavior.
[21:31] Noela
    Woof.
[21:32] Reiji
    Ejil, that's exactly why
    she doesn't like you.
[21:38] Reiji
    Despite everything, Noela and Ejil
    started getting along a little better.
