    Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
[00:13] Priest
    and let perpetual light shine upon them.
[00:17] Priest
    May they rest in peace.
[00:20] Priest
    Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord...
[00:22] Martes
    Everything's ready?
[00:24] Feles
    Yeah.
[00:25] Priest
    Death is sad, but it is also healing.
[00:29] Priest
    It is natural for those left behind to grieve,
[00:33] Priest
    but death is also the beginning of eternity,
[00:36] Priest
    when the Lord Our God forgives the sins
[00:40] Priest
    of the departed and makes
    their souls everlasting.
[00:44] Priest
    In the name of the Father, the Son,
     and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Hey!
[01:28] Feles
    Huh?
[01:29] Feles
    Too late for that!

    Okay, then we'll ram our way through!

    Woof!
[01:42] Martes
    Ow...
[01:47] Equa
    How's the cargo?
[01:48] Alga
    Safe and sound.
[01:49] Equa
    Thank goodness.
[01:50] Girl
    Wh-What's going on?!
[01:52] Alga
    What the hell do you think you're doing?!
[01:53] Girl
    You said all I'd have to do was lie down!
[01:57] Equa
    There's been a slight change of plans.
[01:59] Feles
    Thanks to your sneeze.
[02:00] Girl
    Aren't you supposed to be
     professional extractors?
[02:03] Girl
    You'd better actually extract me!
[02:04] Equa
    We most certainly will.
[02:07] Equa
    They're here.
[02:11] Equa
    Head for the other gate.
[02:22] Feles
    There's no end to them.
[02:26] Martes
    Where are they coming from?!
[02:29] Feles
    Stop talking and take them out already!
[02:32] Equa
    Are you ready, Alga-san?
[02:34] Alga
    Anytime.
[02:36] Equa
    I can see it! That's the Akihabara gate!
[02:49] Equa
    How long will it take?
[02:50] Alga
    At least three seconds,
    and at most, three months.
[02:53] Martes
    That's another way of saying
     you don't know, isn't it?
[03:10] Martes
    Ow...
[03:12] Martes
    I lost, like, five percent
    of my body weight from that.
[03:16] Feles
    That body of yours sure comes in handy.
[03:22] Feles
    They really are endless!
[03:25] Alga
    Got it!
[03:26] Alga
    If you cut the right wire, the gate will open.
[03:29] Equa
    Just like always, then.
[03:32] Equa
    And if we cut the wrong one?
[03:34] Alga
    Lockdown. We'll have nowhere left to run.
[03:37] Equa
    That's the same as always, too.

[05:59] Equa
    I had a dream that you and
    I went for a delightful afternoon stroll.

    Buzz off. People will think we're friends.
[06:09] Equa
    But we are friends.
[06:10] Feles
    You told me that job yesterday would be safe!
[06:15] Feles
    I almost died.

    Huh?
[06:16] Equa
    Does that mean...
[06:18] Equa
    we're not friends anymore?
[06:22] Equa
    I couldn't bear to end our friendship!

    Come on, Feles-san. Squeezy time.
[07:02] Feles
    I told you to knock it off!

    Oh my.

    Yeah, give it a rest. Shoo.

    I'm sorry that I slipped up.

    So? Did she dump you?
[07:59] Martes
    Just forget about her.
[08:02] Martes
    She's secretly head over heels for you anyway.
[08:06] Equa
    Is she really?
[08:07] Martes
    She's unfaithful to her own desires!
[08:10] Martes
    It's creepy!
[08:12] Equa
    "Creepy"? You shouldn't call
     people things like that.
[08:15] Martes
    What? But...
[08:17] Equa
    It is not right.
[08:23] Equa
    Thank you for everything, Yamada-sensei.

    Just a little hung over. Don't mind me.
[08:52] Martes
    Everyone knows how
    straitlaced Yamada-sensei is.
[08:57] Martes
    Does he seriously expect us
    to believe he has a hangover?
[09:01] Equa
    There might be more to it.
[09:04] Martes
    Maybe he has a serious illness.
[09:07] Martes
    Like syphilis, or gonorrhea,
    or chlamydia trachomatis.

    That teacher must be serious about this.

    That's just why he needs...

    extractors like us.
[09:46] Feles
    Nope. No way.
[09:48] Feles
    I absolutely refuse!
[09:50] Martes
    Okay. See you.
[09:51] Equa
    Feles-san, don't you think work is
    more fun when we all do it together?
[09:56] Feles
    You think that's the issue?!
[09:57] Equa
    Yes, I do!
[09:59] Feles
    It's not! I'm telling you that
     I'm sick of risking my neck!
[10:04] Equa
    It will definitely be fine this time!
[10:06] Feles
    I can't trust your "definitely"!
[10:09] Feles
    And don't be so pushy. Don't you mean
     "extremely close to definitely"?
[10:13] Equa
    Yes.
[10:14] Equa
    I definitely won't be pushy!
[10:20] Feles
    There you go again. You're always like this!
[10:24] Feles
    No pushing!
[10:25] Equa
    I couldn't help it.

    Don't come if you don't want to.

     Don't you agree, Ulula?

    Our client this time is Ichiro Yamada-san.
[10:50] Equa
    Coincidentally, he's also
    a teacher at our school.
[10:54] Equa
    Teaching has apparently worn him down
     so much that he wants to escape.
[10:58] Martes
    A midlife crisis? What a loser.
[11:02] Martes
    What, you're on his side?
    Is that because you're old?
[11:07] Equa
    Are there any questions?
[11:09] Alga
    Yes. Where shall we extract him to?
[11:12] Equa
    He apparently has no preference,
    so we'll decide in the usual way.
[11:17] Feles
    Could it be a trap?
[11:19] Feles
    I'm in favor of ditching troublesome clients.
[11:22] Equa
    We won't ditch anyone.
