[00:01] ManA (Jim)
    Do you have a plan to transport the goods?
[00:03] manB
    Yeah, no problems here. You?
[00:06] ManA (Jim)
    No problems here, either.
[00:09] manB
    You bastard!
[00:11] ManA (Jim)
    Well done.
[01:44] [SONG] Sign
    After the Shoplifter!
[01:46] Kieshi
    You know why we've summoned you...
[01:50] Kieshi
    The Drago Bureau found this along
    with a corpse that was aboard
[01:53] Kieshi
    a smuggling ship headed
    toward the solar system.
[01:58] Laine
    This mark...
[02:02] Isaku
    All right, done.
[02:05] Chuta
    Um... Dr. Isaac.
[02:07] Chuta
    Are the only items issued by ēlDLIVE
[02:09] Chuta
    this badge, handcuffs, and the uniform
    that I'm eventually going to get?
[02:14] Isaac
    Should there be anything else?
[02:16] Chuta
    Like maybe a pistol or a police baton?
[02:18] Isaac
    Distributing those things would
     just be a waste of time.
[02:21] Isaac
    Space criminals are
    fighting with capabilities
[02:24] Isaac
    that Earth's science has yet
     to even conceptualize.
[02:27] Isaac
    With a much more powerful
    secret in life.
[02:30] Isaac
    The reason you were able to join ēlDLIVE
    was because you were able to show
[02:34] Isaac
    a glimpse of that power
    during the qualifying exam.
[02:38] Chuta
    We did?
[02:39] Isaac
    I was rather surprised myself.
    That's a pretty remarkable thing.
[02:44] Chuta
    It is?
[02:45] Dolugh
    I feel confidence flowing out
    of you right now, Chuta.
[02:48] Chuta
    Sh-Shut up.
[02:50] Chuta
    But what is that secret of life?
[02:54] Isaac
    It's body odor.
[02:56] Isaac
    The official term for it is SPH,
     which is short for Space Pheromones.
[03:01] Chuta
    So the technique that Dolugh used
    was actually a smell?
[03:04] Isaac
    SPH is a scent that cannot be
    detected by Earthlings.
[03:09] Chuta
    Which means,
[03:10] Chuta
    when we had that escapee the other day,
    the thing that Sonokata used
[03:14] Chuta
    was Misuzu Sonokata's scent?
[03:16] Misuzu
    Please refrain from having
    any weird fantasies.
[03:20] Isaac
    Ah, Misuzu.
[03:21] Misuzu
    Is mine ready?
[03:23] Isaac
    Yours is the kit with the red capsules
    on the upper right.
[03:26] ---
    Right.
[03:28] Chuta
    Huh? Are you sick, Sonokata?
[03:30] Misuzu
    No. It's medicine that allows me
    to adapt to this environment.
[03:35] Dolugh
    Panties peekie-peek. Chuta's getting excited.
[03:38] Chuta
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
    I didn't see any panties—
[03:42] Misuzu
    You pervert!
[03:49] Chuta
    P-Pass it to me!
[03:52] Dolugh
    You've become a bit more
    assertive lately, Chuta.
[03:55] Chuta
    Huh?
[03:57] Dolugh
    A lot of people have been complimenting you,
     so you've gained confidence.
[04:00] Chuta
    Y-You think so?
[04:03] Tateyan
    Chuta, it's heading your way!
[04:09] Chuta
    All right!
[04:11] Chuta
    Crap!
[04:13] Dolugh
    Sympathy!
[04:21] Chuta
    Dolugh?!
[04:23] Chuta
    Crap! Did they see you?!
[04:24] StudentA
    Nice goal!
[04:26] StudentB
    That was awesome, Chuta! I'm impressed.
[04:29] Chuta
    I-It was nothing...
[04:36] Dolugh
    You're in a really good mood, Chuta.
[04:37] Chuta
    Well, yeah. That was a super goal.
[04:40] Dolugh
    You're interacting with people
     from your class like friends now.
[04:44] Chuta
    Yeah. I guess this is how it is
     when you actually try to make friends.
[04:48] Tome
    Shoplifter!
[04:49] Tome
    Someone catch that gum thief!
[04:53] Chuta
    Hold it!
[04:55] Chuta
    Dolugh! Let's sew him up,
    cloak and all!
[04:57] Dolugh
    Sewing him up!
[05:01] Chuta
    Huh?
[05:02] Dolugh
    It shattered?
[05:07] Chuta
    Auntie!
[05:08] Chuta
    Aunt Mimi! Wake up, Aunt Mimi!
[05:26] Dolugh
    Are you sure you don't need to be
    looking after Mimi, Chuta?
[05:29] Chuta
    This is all my fault again.
[05:32] Chuta
    It's better if I don't do anything after all.
[05:36] Dolugh
    Chuta...
[05:38] Chuta
    Dolugh! Your body!
[05:41] Dolugh
    Anytime you're negative
    about yourself, Chuta,
[05:43] Dolugh
    you end up denying my existence,
    and my body becomes faint.
[05:49] Misuzu
    Using your SPH powers in your
    everyday life on Earth
[05:53] Misuzu
    is a violation of ēlDLIVE regulations.
[05:56] Chuta
    Sonokata...
[05:57] Misuzu
    Powers not of Earth are that dangerous.
[06:02] Chuta
    I get it already.
[06:03] Misuzu
    No. You only understand
    about thirty percent of it.
[06:08] Misuzu
    I took care of this instance.
    However, you will face punishment next time.
[06:37] Dolugh
    This is the depressed cooking that
    you do when you're depressed, Chuta.
[06:42] Chuta
    Maybe I'll quit ēlDLIVE...
[06:45] Dolugh
    Why? You've been slowly regaining confidence
    ever since you joined ēlDLIVE, Chuta.
[06:51] Chuta
    Confidence... That's exactly
    why Aunt Mimi got hurt.
[06:57] Chuta
    If I hadn't gotten involved...
[07:06] Chuta
    And after I'd decided I wouldn't anymore...
[07:08] Chuta
    I wouldn't get involved...
[07:11] Dolugh
    Chuta! Chuta!
[07:13] Dolugh
    Aren't you making way too much?
[07:18] Nurse
    You brought food?
[07:18] Caster
    Next week, with the theme of "school regulations,"
    we'll follow a public morals committee chairman
[07:19] Nurse
    It's still visiting hours,
    so you can take it up to her room.
[07:23] Caster
    who keeps a middle school in check
    in a rather unique way.
[07:23] Chuta
    No... Actually, if you'd
    just take this to her.
[07:26] Caster
    Look forward to it.
[07:26] Mimi
    Chuta?
[07:29] Mimi
    You came!
[07:32] Mimi
    To think that one of the shop's pillars
    would collapse from being so old.
[07:35] Chuta
    Huh? Her memory's been altered...
[07:39] Mimi
    But thank goodness that
    it barely missed me!
[07:43] Chuta
    No, Auntie.
[07:45] Chuta
    The truth is that I—
[07:48] Mimi
    What's the matter, Chuta?
[07:52] Chuta
    It would have been better
[07:53] Chuta
    if I'd been the one that got hurt,
    not you, Auntie.
[07:57] Mimi
    What are you talking about, Chuta?
[07:59] Chuta
    Huh? Well, I mean, you've got work...
[08:02] Mimi
    If you got hurt, I wouldn't be
    able to make delicious muffins!
[08:07] Mimi
    It's only because you keep growing
    every day and come home to me safe
[08:12] Mimi
    that I'm even able to work hard!
[08:14] Mimi
    When you're doing well,
    I'm doing well, too.
[08:18] Chuta
    I-I'm sorry...
[08:22] Mimi
    I'm ridiculous... I was just
    brought to tears by my own words...
[08:26] Chuta
    Auntie...
[08:28] Mimi
    But you seem to be more cheerful
    lately, so that's made me happy.
[08:38] Dolugh
    Mimi recognized the changes in you, Chuta.
[08:41] Chuta
    Yeah.
[08:43] Chuta
    Auntie cares for me that much...
    I need to shape up more.
[08:51] Chuta
    So that I can protect
    Auntie and her muffins.
[08:56] Dolugh
    I'm becoming more visible again.
[09:00] Chips
    I found you, chu.
[09:03] Chuta
    Sonokata...
[09:04] Misuzu
    It's time for our shift.
[09:07] All
    Yoyosa!
[09:09] Laine
    Good work.
[09:10] Laine
    Until Section Chief Madigan returns,
[09:12] Laine
    I will continue to command
    all of you in Division 2.
[09:16] Chuta
    Yes, sir.
[09:17] Laine
    However, there really aren't any jobs that
    you guys can do at your level right now.
[09:23] Laine
    Go study for school, or something.
[09:25] Chuta
    Huh?
[09:27] Chips
    Looks like we've got some time, chu.
[09:29] Chips
    And I thought we were going to actually
    work on that one case, chu.
[09:32] Chuta
    That one case?
[09:34] Misuzu
    You haven't heard?
[09:36] Misuzu
    Apparently, the gum thief that showed up
    in the shopping district was an alien.
[09:39] Chuta
    Huh?
[09:44] Chuta
    Then why don't we catch the shoplifter?
[09:48] Misuzu
    You seem rather forward
    suddenly. Why is that?
[09:51] Chuta
    Why?
[09:53] Chuta
    At this rate, my Auntie won't be
    able to run her shop in peace.
[09:57] Chips
    You shouldn't do that, chu.
[09:58] Chips
    Don't mix your personal feelings
     into an investigation, chu.
[10:00] Chuta
    Oh... I see.
[10:03] Misuzu
    I think it's all right this time.
[10:05] Chuta
    Sonokata...
[10:06] Misuzu
    We're not receiving assignments because
    Officer Kokonose's level is too low.
[10:10] Misuzu
    He can do his own investigation and level up,
[10:13] Misuzu
    or die without leaving a trace.
    Either would work in our favor.
[10:15] Chuta
    Wha—
[10:18] Chuta
    Never mind! I'll just do it myself!
[10:21] Misuzu
    Go right ahead.
[10:24] Chuta
    I said that, but where am I
     even supposed to start?
[10:29] Dolugh
    Chuta? How did ēlDLIVE find out
     the suspect was an alien?
[10:33] Chuta
    Why? It's probably because aliens and
    Earthlings are different in some way....
[10:39] Chuta
    Oh, yeah! It must be SPH!
[10:44] Chuta
    Um, pardon me.
[10:49] Melies
    You saw it, didn't you?
[10:52] Melies
    This unsightly form!
[10:56] Chuta
    So the moon guy has arms!
[10:59] Melies
    You're precisely the 50,000th
    person to see my arms!
[11:05] Dolugh
    That's quite a lot.
[11:07] Melies
    What do you want?
[11:08] Chuta
    Um... I wanted to catch a shoplifting alien,
[11:12] Chuta
    so I was wondering if their
    SPH records were here...
[11:15] Melies
    You're running your own investigation?
    You've got some nerve!
[11:18] Chuta
    U-Um, could you help me out?
[11:22] Melies
    Hmm... I don't have much of a choice,
    since you saw my arms.
[11:26] Melies
    Only on the condition
    that you won't tell the others.
[11:29] Chuta
    Thank you...
[11:32] Melies
    SPH is unique to every individual,
    just like Earthlings' fingerprints.
[11:37] Melies
    No two are alike.
[11:39] Chuta
    Huh...
[11:39] Melies
    And so, we'll search for
    any SPH that was recorded
[11:42] Melies
    near your house
    at the time of the shoplifting,
[11:44] Melies
    and then compare it with this data... Hm?
[11:49] Melies
    We got a hit! That's him!
[11:51] Melies
    Hey. Are you sure he's just a shoplifter?
[11:56] Chuta
    What's wrong?
[11:58] Melies
    He's...
SIGN    Laine Brick
[12:12] Chuta
    Chief Laine.
[12:15] Chuta
    The shoplifter that was in my neighborhood
    is an alien and a murderer!
[12:20] Laine
    Who did you hear that from?
[12:22] Chuta
    Um...
[12:24] Misuzu
    I spotted Officer Kokonose going into
    the SPH research office earlier.
[12:29] Tonto
    I'm surprised that Méliès helped you.
[12:32] Laine
    Hey, now. I told you to go study, didn't I?
[12:37] Laine
    We're in the middle of investigating
    that case right now.
[12:40] Chuta
    Um, would it be possible
    for me to participate, as well?
[12:44] Laine
    Why do you want to go that far?
[12:47] Chuta
    Well... Because at this rate, my Auntie...
[12:50] Dolugh
    Chuta! You were told not to
    involve your personal feelings!
[12:54] Chuta
    Right...
[12:55] Chuta
    Um... If we let a dangerous
    criminal run free,
[12:59] Chuta
    people wouldn't be able to continue
    to live their lives in peace.
[13:03] Chuta
    Getting innocent people involved in this
[13:06] Chuta
    is as tragic as when the rice for
     your curry turns out all mushy.
[13:13] Harry
    Curry?
[13:17] Chuta
    Huh? Huh?
[13:19] Laine
    Very well.
[13:20] Laine
    Go catch him!
[13:22] Dolugh
    You did it, Chuta.
[13:24] Tonto
    Are you sure about this?
[13:25] Tonto
    I thought that you were marking
    that criminal, Chief.
[13:29] Riggs
    The Chief is doing stuff on a whim again.
[13:34] Laine
    The suspect is the Gumshoe Alien Jim.
[13:37] Laine
    He's wanted on charges
    of larceny and murder on Earth.
[13:40] Laine
    Judging from the crime scene,
[13:42] Laine
    while trying to illegally
    transport resources from Earth,
[13:44] Laine
    he apparently got in an
    argument with his partner.
[13:47] Chuta
    What was the resource he stole?
[13:49] Laine
    Bubblegum.
[13:51] Chuta
    Bubblegum?
[13:53] Laine
    The physical properties of a Gumshoe Alien
    are very similar to gum,
[13:57] Laine
    and gum itself can be used as a
    powerful, high-quality tonic.
[14:01] Chuta
    He killed someone over gum?
[14:03] Laine
    They don't have gum on the Gumshoe Planet.
[14:06] Laine
    When things are in short supply,
[14:09] Laine
    people who would be willing to crush
    another life to get them start to appear.
[14:14] Misuzu
    Is that the only clue we have?
[14:16] Laine
    No, there's one more.
[14:20] Chips
    You mean the yellow truck, chu?
[14:22] Laine
    He probably acquired it in order
    to load the gum he stole and get away.
[14:29] Melies
    The suspect's SPH is weak.
    I can't find his location.
[14:32] Dolugh
    So he usually hits the keys with his chin...
[14:34] Misuzu
    We can't locate him on the
    satellite cameras, either.
[14:37] Chuta
    Wouldn't a yellow truck like this
    actually stand out quite a bit?
[14:41] Dolugh
    Chuta, I see something in the windshield.
[14:44] Chuta
    Huh?
[14:46] Chuta
    Is that Mount Fuji?
[14:50] Melies
    Analyzing the angles of Mount Fuji
    reflecting in the windshield and the sunlight.
[14:53] Melies
    I'll narrow down the possible locations.
[14:56] Melies
    Bingo! The Tomei Highway!
[14:59] Chuta
    Ow...
[15:01] Chips
    He messed up again, chu.
[15:03] Chuta
    Where's the yellow truck?
[15:06] Chuta
    It doesn't look like it's
    parked around here.
[15:09] Chuta
    H-Hey!
[15:11] Misuzu
    I would like you to stand by here.
    You can even sit out if you'd like.
[15:16] Chuta
    What?!
[15:18] Misuzu
    If you'll excuse me.
[15:21] Dolugh
    Chuta, I smell gum. It's coming
    from the thicket over there.
[15:26] Chuta
    Well, they sell gum around here, too.
[15:29] Dolugh
    No, this smell is Snap Snap gum.
[15:32] Chuta
    They only sell Snap Snap gum at
    old candy shops... Oh, yeah!
[15:38] Chuta
    This is ēlDLIVE!
[15:40] Chuta
    Gumshoe Alien, surrender and come out!
[15:44] Chuta
    But how is a truck in a place like this?
[15:48] Chuta
    Ow...
[15:51] Chuta
    What the?
[15:52] Jim
    So you finally showed up, ēlDLIVE.
[15:54] Dolugh
    Chuta, it's the yellow truck!
[15:54] Jim
    Like hell I'm going to let you
    catch me! Don't mess with me!
[15:56] Chuta
    Which means this puny alien is the suspect!
[16:00] Jim
    You're from that one time!
[16:02] Jim
    Because you opened a hole in my body,
    I couldn't get big anymore!
[16:07] Jim
    I'm gonna kill you next time!
[16:09] Jim
    Hey! Hey! Hey!
[16:10] Chuta
    Who would've thought it'd
    be an alien this size?
[16:13] Chuta
    This is the Space Police ēlDLIVE!
[16:15] Chuta
    Don't even try to struggle
    and come peacefully...
[16:18] Chuta
    Ow!
[16:20] Chuta
    Y-You... Ow!
[16:21] Jim
    Don't mess with me!
[16:21] Chuta
    Have the right to remain si—
[16:22] Chuta
    Why, you!
[16:27] Jim
    Is that all you've got, ēlDLIVE?
[16:30] Chuta
    What is...
[16:32] Misuzu
    That's SPH.
[16:34] Chuta
    Sonokata...
[16:36] Misuzu
    Normal physical attacks
    will not work against SPH.
[16:43] Chuta
    SPH...
[16:45] Chuta
    Sonokata's secretions...
[16:47] Misuzu
    Your way of expressing that
    is extremely unpleasant.
[16:49] Chuta
    Er... uh...
[16:51] Dolugh
    Chuta! The suspect's gone.
SIGN    Fluffy Snap
[16:54] Chuta
    No...
[16:55] Chips
    He couldn't have gotten far, chu.
[16:59] Jim
    You fool! You let your guard down!
[17:01] Chuta
    Sonokata!
[17:02] Chips
    Misuzu!
[17:04] Jim
    That's what you get! I'm just gonna
    finish her off like this.
[17:08] Chips
    This isn't good, chu!
[17:09] Chips
    His SPH is powerfully sticking to her,
     and I can't attack, chu!
[17:12] Dolugh
    Misuzu's going to be suffocated, Chuta!
[17:15] Chuta
    You say that, but...
[17:18] Chuta
    No! Sonokata!
[17:19] Chips
    How dare you do that, you piece of gum?!
[17:22] Chuta
    What should I do?
[17:26] Dolugh
    Chuta! Do you remember
    what happened when there was gum
[17:28] Dolugh
    on Mimi's clothes and it wouldn't come off?
[17:33] Dolugh
    If we use that here, it'll work.
[17:36] Chuta
    Can you do it?
[17:37] Dolugh
    If you can imagine the same thing, yes.
[17:40] Chuta
    All right, let's do it!
[17:43] (Flashback) Chuta
    When that happens, you should use this.
[17:47] Dolugh
    Sympathy!
[17:49] Chuta
    Space Pheromone! Freezing gum off!
[17:54] Jim
    Wha... I-It's cold...
    My body's getting harder...
[18:02] Chuta
    Sonokata!
[18:02] Chips
    Misuzu!
[18:05] Misuzu
    I'm fine.
[18:07] Chuta
    Thank goodness.
[18:09] Misuzu
    I thank you for saving me.
[18:12] Misuzu
    But this doesn't mean
    that I've accepted you.
[18:15] Chuta
    Wh-What the heck?
[18:17] Chips
    This time, you're under
    arrest for sure, chu.
[18:20] Jim
    I-I'm going to be killed...
[18:22] Chips
    I'm not going to kill you, chu.
[18:24] Jim
    No! No, no! I'm gonna get killed—
[18:28] Chips
    This isn't good, chu!
[18:29] Misuzu
    Take cover!
[18:33] Riggs
    There's a large SPH signal.
[18:40] Dolugh
    That's a nice smell.
[18:45] Chuta
    S-So close!
[18:50] Misuzu
    I've repaid my debt to you.
[18:52] Misuzu
    Please do not hold the fact that
    you saved me against me anymore.
[18:55] Chuta
    L-Like I would do that!
[18:57] Chips
    Both of you! Look over there, chu!
[19:02] Misuzu
    That's...
[19:05] Riggs
    So that mark was...
[19:07] Laine
    Yeah.
[19:08] Laine
    He was killed as a warning to others.
[19:13] Laine
    The giant criminal organization
    that commits
[19:16] Laine
    all kinds of heinous crimes across this galaxy...
[19:18] Laine
    DeMille.
[19:20] Chuta
    DeMille?
[19:21] Laine
    Long ago, another blue, Earth-like planet
    20,000 light years away
[19:26] Laine
    ended up like this because of them.
[19:29] Chuta
    Something that dangerous
    is heading to Earth?
[19:36] Chuta
    Auntie, I brought you a change of clothes,
    since you're being discharged.
[19:40] Tateyan
    Yo.
[19:40] Chuta
    Tateyan! Why are you...
[19:43] Tateyan
    The lady from the candy shop told me.
[19:45] Mimi
    He brought me some rice crackers
    as a get well gift.
[19:48] Chuta
    Th-Thanks.
[19:52] Tateyan
    Do people tell your aunt that she
    looks like the idol Yui Sakuraebi?
[19:56] Chuta
    I don't think so...
[19:59] Tateyan
    I see.
[20:00] Tateyan
    By the way, Chuta, I had a dream
    the other day where I think you saved me.
[20:06] Chuta
    A dream?
[20:08] Dolugh
    ēlDLIVE must've changed his memories.
[20:11] Chuta
    If you thought it was a dream,
    it probably was.
[20:16] Tateyan
    I see. It must've been a dream.
    You're so deep, Chuta.
[20:20] Dolugh
    And you're dense, Tateyan.
[20:22] Chuta
    Shh!
[20:23] Tateyan
    But thanks anyway. I wanted to tell
    you that, even if it was a dream.
[20:28] Dolugh
    This feeling... You're starting
    to accept yourself more, Chuta.
[20:32] Chuta
    You don't need to comment on it every time!
[20:36] Chuta
    A-Auntie!
[20:40] Mimi
    Chuta finally made a friend!
[20:43] Chuta
    You're overreacting, Auntie!
[20:44] Dolugh
    She's not, though.
[20:48] Dolugh
    Ever since that incident,
    up until you joined ēlDLIVE recently,
[20:52] Dolugh
    you haven't had any friends, Chuta.
[20:54] Chuta
    That's right... I'd forgotten.
[20:59] Chuta
    This is what having friends is like.
[21:03] Chuta
    I think I've started realizing
    a lot of things lately.
[21:08] Chuta
    About my family, the people
    around me, as well as myself....
[21:13] Chuta
    Considering all that, maybe there was
    a purpose to me joining ēlDLIVE.
[21:20] Laine
    You look all official now.
[21:22] Tonto
    It looks pretty good on you.
[21:24] Dolugh
    I like it! It's a very unique outfit, Chuta.
[21:28] Misuzu
    Please don't come to school wearing that.
[21:31] Chuta
    I know that!
[21:32] Laine
    All right, let's have an
    entrance ceremony for Chuta.
[21:35] All
    Yoyosa!
[21:38] Crew A
    Commencing super high-speed navigation.
[21:40] Crew B
    Is that okay, Captain?
[21:41] Gucchi
    Yeah.
[21:43] CrewA
    Our target is on the blue planet in the
    solar system in the Milky Way galaxy.
[21:46] CrewB
    It's Shirobori Middle School. Right, Captain?
[21:51] Gucchi
    Yeah. I can't wait to see him.
[23:26] Guy
    There's no doubt about it.
[23:27] Guy2
    Yeah.
[23:27] Girl
    You're right.
[23:28] Misuzu
    Officer's Kokonose's naming sense is...
[23:30] All
    ...zero!
[23:31] Dolugh
    Next time on ēlDLIVE,
[23:33] Dolugh
    "A Pursuer From the Past: Part 1."
SIGN    Next Time
    A Pursuer From the Past: Part 1
[23:35] Chuta
    Take this! Freezing gum off!
