**[00:07] Priest**
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.

**[01:26] Girl**
Ah-choo!
**[01:27] Martes**
Hey!
**[01:28] Feles**
Huh?
**[01:29] Feles**
Too late for that!
**[01:31] Equa**
Okay, then we'll ram our way through!
**[01:33] Ulula**
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.
**[03:49] Alga**
It's your call, leader!
**[03:51] Equa**
Right!

Isn't it lovely out?
**[05:55] Equa**
The forecast said it would rain
this afternoon, but I bet it won't.
**[05:59] Equa**
I had a dream that you and
I went for a delightful afternoon stroll.
**[06:05] Feles**
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.
**[06:16] Feles**
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!
**[06:24] Feles**
I said, quit it! We've only
ever been colleagues!
**[06:28] Equa**
We're friends!
**[06:29] Feles**
Stay back! Give me space!
**[06:30] Feles**
Go away!
**[06:32] Martes**
Good morning!
**[06:35] Equa**
Martes-san!
**[06:37] Martes**
Equa-senpai! You're as
gorgeous and lovely as always!
**[06:41] Martes**
Feles-senpai, you're...
**[06:44] Martes**
Well, you're okay, I guess.
**[06:47] Martes**
Now, Equa-senpai, forget
about her and give me a hug!
**[06:53] Martes**
Let's strengthen our bond
with a hearty squeeze!
**[06:56] Equa**
All right. Squeezy-squeeze.
**[06:58] Martes**
Squeezy-squeezy!
**[06:59] Feles**
Huh?
**[07:00] Equa**
Come on, Feles-san. Squeezy time.
**[07:02] Feles**
I told you to knock it off!
**[07:04] Equa**
Oh my.
**[07:05] Martes**
Yeah, give it a rest. Shoo.
**[07:08] Martes**
Squeezy-squeezy!
**[07:09] Equa**
Squeezy-squeezy!
**[07:13] Yamada**
Now, this is a passage
from Nietzsche's Zarathustra.
**[07:19] Yamada**
"It is my poverty that my
hand never ceaseth bestowing..."
**[07:25] Equa**
Feles-san, about what happened yesterday...
**[07:28] Feles**
Seriously, enough about that.
**[07:30] Equa**
I'm sorry that I slipped up.
**[07:41] Equa**
Feles-san!
**[07:43] Equa**
I'll be more careful from now on.
**[07:45] Feles**
Don't follow me.
***SIGN*** Changing Room
**[07:52] Equa**
Would you like help undressing?
**[07:53] Feles**
As if!
**[07:56] Martes**
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.
**[08:27] Yamada**
Oh. You're, um...
**[08:29] Equa**
Equa! Second-year, class A!
**[08:32] Yamada**
Class is about to start.
**[08:35] Yamada**
Hurry to your classroom.
**[08:40] Martes**
Sensei? Are you okay?
**[08:46] Yamada**
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.
**[09:15] Equa**
It's from Mr. M.

It looks like it was just uploaded,

**[09:29] Martes**
That teacher must be serious about this.
**[09:32] Martes**
Breaking through a checkpoint
could get him killed.
**[09:36] Equa**
That's just why he needs...
**[09:40] Equa**
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.
**[10:36] Martes**
Don't come if you don't want to.
**[10:39] Alga**
What good friends they are.
Don't you agree, Ulula?
**[10:43] Equa**
Are you all ready?
**[10:47] Equa**
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.
**[11:23] Feles**
But...
**[11:25] Equa**
We never leave anyone behind.

Are you not feeling well again?

I'm sorry.

Please don't push yourself too hard.

You'll be teaching here

Yes, of course. You were born

That alone took a lot of courage.

Please put this on, not that
it will actually help much.

Take this, and end it all if you must.

What?!

It will be painless and instantaneous.
**[14:57] Yamada**
No, but, um...

Don't worry!

You won't need to take your own life.
**[15:04] Yamada**
Then I don't need this, do I?

Hang on to it, just in case.

Huh?

**[15:19] Guard A**
Good grief.
**[15:20] Martes**
I love you!
**[15:23] Martes**
What, can't you tell I love
you unless I spell it out?
**[15:27] Martes**
It should be obvious! Just look at me, you—
**[15:29] Guard A**
Where do you live, young lady?
Do I need to call the police?
**[15:32] Martes**
Go ahead! Bring 'em on!
**[15:34] Martes**
And call Takeshi while you're at it!
**[15:36] Guard B**
We don't even know who that is.
**[15:39] Guard A**
What do we do about this?

I've taken over part of the security system.

I'll open the gate.

If nothing goes wrong,

*If* nothing goes wrong.
**[16:16] Guard B**
Hey! What the...?!
**[16:17] Guard A**
I just scanned her.
**[16:20] Guard A**
This young lady's a demihuman,
and a slime at that.
**[16:23] Guard B**
What?!
**[16:24] Guard A**
Alcohol's dangerous to her. She can't be drunk.
**[16:27] Guard A**
It's all an act.
**[16:31] Martes**
Whoops! No funny business,
or I'll give this guy a second asshole.

Do what I say and drop your weapons.

Hey.

Hang on a—

Suspicious intruder.

There may be others. Keep a close eye out.
**[16:54] Alga**
What?
**[16:55] Alga**
Damn. Access denied.
**[17:00] Equa**
Oh. Oh dear.
**[17:00] Yamada**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[17:02] Feles**
Something went wrong.

Let's leave through there.
**[17:18] Yamada**
Why is this happening to me?

Equa-senpai!

Is this any time for that?!
Liquefy again, and be quick about it!
**[17:28] Martes**
I can't today! I don't have enough amino acids!

They're here.

Ulula-san...
**[18:00] Feles**
Anyway, we've got to get up higher.

Use the hole Ulula made and climb!
**[18:05] Equa**
Yes!
**[18:07] Yamada**
Huh?! What?!
**[18:17] Yamada**
Couldn't we use the corridor to escape?
**[18:19] Equa**
Going out the window is safer.
**[18:22] Yamada**
Wh-Why?
**[18:23] Equa**
Found them!
**[18:41] Equa**
Feles-san! I knew I could count on you!
**[18:43] Feles**
This is a one-time deal!
**[18:45] Feles**
I'm never teaming up with you again! I mean it!
**[18:47] Equa**
Are you proposing to me?
**[18:49] Feles**
Just get moving!
**[19:06] Yamada**
May I ask you something?
**[19:08] Equa**
What?
**[19:10] Yamada**
Why do you do such dangerous work?
**[19:14] Equa**
If people seriously want to escape,
we'll be just as serious.
**[19:20] Yamada**
As someone once said,
"Where one can no longer love—"
**[19:25] Equa**
"There should one pass by." Nietzsche, right?
**[19:31] Yamada**
You...
**[19:32] Equa**
I learned that in your class.
**[19:36] Yamada**
You were paying attention?
**[19:38] Equa**
I was!
**[19:40] Equa**
If you can't love, pass by.
**[19:43] Equa**
And we extractors help people to do that.
**[19:50] Equa**
We made it.

This way.
