[00:06] Equa
    Ah-choo!
[00:08] Martes
    Are you okay, Equa-senpai?
[00:11] Alga
    You'd better take care of yourself.
[00:13] Equa
    Thank you.
[00:15] Equa
    And thank you too, Martes-san.
[00:17] Equa
    I'm fine.
[00:19] Equa
    Let's see...
[00:20] Equa
    Our next client is Hachiro-san,
    a resident of Akihabara.
[00:26] Equa
    He wants to go somewhere far away,
    although I don't quite understand why.
[00:30] Martes
    Maybe he wants to "find himself"?
[00:33] Alga
    Well, everyone goes through that phase.
[00:36] Ulula
    Arf?
[00:38] Equa
    The extraction is tomorrow.
    Let's all do our best.
[00:41] Feles
    Huh?! Tomorrow?!
[00:43] Equa
    I'm sorry.
[00:44] Equa
    He wants to escape as soon as possible,
    and I'd like to oblige him.
[00:47] Feles
    We have a physics test this week, remember?
[00:50] Feles
    I haven't memorized any of the formulas yet.
[00:52] Martes
    Come on, tests are easy as
    long as you listen in class.
[00:58] Alga
    I guess tests are the one thing you do well on.
[01:00] Martes
    Well, if Feles-senpai cares more about
    studying, I say we do this job without her.
[01:09] Equa
    I'm sorry, but would you mind, Feles-san?
[01:14] Feles
    Fine. I'll do it.
[01:16] Equa
    Thank you so much.

[02:57] Feles
    The others are running late.
[02:59] Martes
    Yeah. Totally.
[03:01] Martes
    I wish Equa-senpai would get here soon.
[03:06] Feles
    You're not listening at all, are you?
[03:08] Feles
    Honestly, without Equa around—
[03:10] Ulula
    Woof!
[03:12] Alga
    Sorry. I overslept.
[03:14] Feles
    You overslept?
[03:16] Martes
    Where's Equa-senpai?
[03:17] Alga
    The little lady's home sick.
[03:18] Martes
    What?!
[03:19] Feles
    She's sick?!
[03:21] Equa
    I'm sorry, everyone.
[03:25] Martes
    Are you all right, Senpai?!
[03:28] Alga
    She has a headache, a fever,
    and joint pain—classic cold symptoms.
[03:32] Alga
    I told her to take it easy today.
[03:34] Martes
    Wait for me, Senpai!
[03:36] Martes
    I'll be right there to
    nurse you back to health!
[03:38] Equa
    No, please make the job your top priority.
[03:42] Equa
    Can I count on you, Martes-san?
[03:46] Martes
    If you say so, Senpai.
[03:50] Equa
    Thank you.
[03:52] Equa
    And so, I'm terribly sorry, but today's
    job is in all of your hands.
[03:59] Martes
    I understand.
[04:02] Martes
    In that case... I'll be a
    great leader in your place!
[04:07] Feles
    No way in hell!
[04:07] Alga
    Absolutely not!
[04:07] Ulula
    Arf!
[04:09] Alga
    If you need a leader, look no further.
[04:12] Alga
    I'll make decisions lightning quick
    and kill anyone who gets in our way.
[04:15] Feles
    Rejected!
[04:17] Alga
    F-Fine.
[04:18] Feles
    And we can't even understand Ulula.
[04:22] Ulula
    Arf...
[04:23] Feles
    Well, I guess we'll have to
    manage without a leader.
[04:27] Alga
    Leave situation reports to me.
[04:30] Martes
    I'll give it my all, too!
[04:32] Ulula
    Bow-wow!
[04:34] Equa
    Thank you so much.
[04:36] Equa
    Call me right away if anything happens.
[04:39] Equa
    I'm sorry I can't join you
    after I made you all rush.
[04:46] Feles
    It's fine. Just get some rest.
[04:48] Feles
    Don't worry about us.
[05:06] Feles
    L-Let's see. Exit A5... Exit A5...
[05:11] Feles
    That one is B2, so... Oh, I've had it!
[05:15] Alga
    Oh, you're hopeless.
[05:17] Alga
    It's this way. Follow me.
[05:19] Ulula
    W-Woof! Woof, woof!
[05:23] Feles
    What's wrong?
[05:24] Martes
    Maybe he has to pee?
[05:26] Feles
    Ugh! Just do it somewhere out of the way!
[05:29] Feles
    We don't have much time
    before the appointment!
[05:31] Feles
    Come on. I think it's this way.
[05:32] Alga
    I already told you, it's this way!
[05:35] Martes
    You're both wrong! It's over that way!
[05:38] Ulula
    W-Woof...
[05:44] Alga
    Between Feles and Slime Girl,
    plus Ulula needing to piss,
[05:48] Alga
    we'll be late for our
    meeting with the client.
[05:51] Equa
    What? That doesn't sound good.
[05:54] Alga
    Got any messages for me to pass on?
SIGN    Alga
[06:00] Equa
    Tell them, "Don't worry about a few mistakes.
[06:02] Equa
    Please get along and work together."
[06:05] Alga
    Okay, roger that. Over and out.

[06:18] Feles
    It's still as crowded as ever.
[06:21] Feles
    I wonder where our client is.
[06:24] Martes
    I always thought this town was weird!
[06:27] Martes
    It makes me want to have some fun.
[06:30] Alga
    I've got a message from the little lady.
[06:32] Alga
    She says, "Shape up! I'll kill you if
    you screw around, so get working!"
[06:38] Martes
    There's no way that's what she said!
[06:40] Alga
    She also said, "We can't
    keep our client waiting!"
[06:42] Alga
    "Get moving before they lose trust in us."
[06:45] Alga
    "I shouldn't have to tell you that!"
[06:48] Feles
    Well... that's true.
[06:51] Feles
    Tell Equa not to worry. We'll do this right.
[06:54] Alga
    Sure! Leave it to me!
SIGN    Alga
[06:58] Alga
    They say, "Shut up and sleep."
[07:00] Equa
    O-Okay.
[07:05] Martes
    Whoa! This is one crazy place for a meeting.
[07:11] Alga
    Now, where's the client?
[07:13] Ulula
    Woof.
[07:20] Hachiro
    H-Hello.
[07:23] Hachiro
    Um... Are you really extractors?
[07:26] Ulula
    Bow-wow.
[07:29] Hachiro
    Will this really work? I don't
    even speak that guy's language.
[07:33] Ulula
    Woof, woof!
[07:34] Feles
    You be quiet! You'll only make things worse.
[07:38] Feles
    Let's start by moving somewhere
    where we won't be seen.
SIGN    Meat Forever
[07:44] Feles
    Thank you.
[07:48] Martes
    That was great.
[07:49] Alga
    This is going on your bill.
[07:52] Hachiro
    Are you sure you didn't
    just want to eat meat?
[07:54] Feles
    Now, let's talk business.
SIGN    Written Consent to Run Away
[07:58] Feles
    First, look at this.
[08:01] Feles
    "Running away from your cluster of residence
    is forbidden by its moderator."
[08:07] Feles
    Um... "It entails the loss of your
    social status and position,"
[08:12] Feles
    "along with all assets, including
    land, buildings, and currency."
[08:20] Feles
    This is so long.
[08:22] Feles
    Would you, uh, just check the rest yourself?
[08:27] Martes
    Talk about sloppy.
[08:28] Ulula
    Bow-wow...
[08:29] Hachiro
    "We make no guarantees regarding
    your life after running away,"
[08:34] Hachiro
    "which will involve ongoing mortal peril."
[08:37] Hachiro
    Um, about this...
[08:39] Feles
    If you consent, put your thumbprint—
[08:42] Feles
    Oh, but first, let's change venues.
[08:45] Hachiro
    Huh?!
[08:52] Martes
    Woo-hoo!
[08:54] Alga
    You go, doggy!
[08:55] Hachiro
    Excuse me, but why do we keep moving around?
[09:00] Feles
    To throw off surveillance. It's dangerous
    to stay in one place too long.
[09:06] Alga
    Come on! Put on some enka!
[09:08] Martes
    I get to pick next.
[09:11] Martes
    Yay!
[09:11] Feles
    Anyway, put your thumbprint here.
[09:14] Feles
    Just touching your thumb
    to it is good enough.
SIGN    Client: Hachiro (seal)
[09:20] Hachiro
    It's going to be risky, isn't it?
[09:22] Feles
    Well, yeah. But leave it
    to us—we're all pros.
[09:27] Martes
    Yay! Yay! Yay!
[09:27] Alga
    Yeah!
[09:30] Hachiro
    Is this really going to work?
[09:32] Feles
    We're pros. Relax.
[09:35] Hachiro
    Am I going to die?
[09:36] Feles
    We'll do our best to stop
    that from happening.
[09:39] Hachiro
    I'm not sure I need to get away that badly.
[09:43] Feles
    Listen...
SIGN    Client: Hachiro (seal)
[09:45] Feles
    Just press here for now!
[09:48] Feles
    Start with the contract! Okay?!
[09:56] Hachiro
    Um... But...
[10:00] Martes
    He sure is indecisive.
[10:02] Martes
    What a day to get saddled
    with an annoying client.
[10:06] Feles
    I really wish he wouldn't get
    cold feet this late in the game.
[10:09] Alga
    Let's just kill him and bury the corpse.
[10:11] Alga
    We'll all just tell the little
    lady it went great, and—
[10:14] Feles
    Give it a rest!
[10:14] Martes
    I just want to get this over
    with and go nurse Senpai.
[10:19] Feles
    Well, I'd hate to worry Equa,
    so we'll just have to do it.
[10:24] Ulula
    Bow-wow!
[10:27] Martes
    What are you saying?
[10:29] Ulula
    Woof! Woof! Woof! Awoo!

    Seriously?
SIGN    Client: Hachiro (seal)
SIGN    Client: Hachiro
[10:45] Feles
    So, have you decided where you want to go?
[10:47] Hachiro
    Hm... I'm not really sure.
[10:51] Alga
    How about Ochanomizu?
[10:53] Alga
    It's a nice town with lots
    of students, and it's close.
[10:57] Feles
    Too close. Are you that
     desperate to hurry home?
[11:00] Alga
    Maybe Fuchuu, then?
[11:02] Alga
    You'd get to live an orderly life in a cage,
    and even receive free technical instruction.
[11:08] Martes
    Takanawa Gateway?
[11:10] Feles
    Where's that? Ochanomizu would be better.
[11:12] Alga
    I already said that!
[11:14] Martes
    Sancha, then? He might as
    well become a magical girl.
[11:18] Feles
    Don't bring that up!
[11:19] Ulula
    Woof.
[11:20] Hachiro
    Um...
[11:21] Feles
    You're the client! Can't you give
    us some idea where you want to go?
[11:25] Hachiro
    B-But you all have so much to say.
[11:28] Martes
    Okay. Let's use this to decide.
SIGN    Sangenjaya

SIGN    Shinjuku
[11:36] Alga
    Little lady! The client decided
    his destination is Sangenjaya.
SIGN    Alga
[11:40] Alga
    We'll head to Shinjuku, then launch him
    with those fireworks at Hanazono Shrine.
[11:45] Hachiro
    I-Is that safe?! Won't I die if
    you launch me like a firework?!
[11:49] Feles
    Don't worry. It's worked before.
[11:49] Equa
    U-Um, Alga-san, is Hachiro-san all right?
[11:52] Martes
    It's 55 percent safe.
[11:54] Equa
    He isn't nervous, is he?
[11:54] Hachiro
    That's barely better than 50-50!
[11:56] Feles
    But there's no other way.
[11:57] Equa
    Alga-san? Are you really
    communicating with Hachiro-san?
[11:58] Hachiro
    That doesn't make it better.
[12:00] Alga
    Don't worry. It's fine.
[12:01] Feles
    Just do as you're told.
[12:03] Alga
    She says, "Hurry up and
    put the plan in motion."
[12:06] Feles
    Tell her to focus on her
    health and get some sleep.
[12:10] Hachiro
    U-Um... I'll be okay inside here, right?
[12:14] Feles
    Yup. It's the safest way. Now, let's go.
SIGN    Alga
[12:18] Alga
    She said, "Shut up and get to bed."
[12:21] Alga
    We're about to execute
    the plan. Over and out.
[12:23] Equa
    What?! Excuse me, Alga-san? Alga-san?
[12:34] Feles
    We made it this far without
    any inspectors spotting us.
[12:38] Martes
    For now, anyway. They'll be
    on us the moment we screw up.
[12:43] Hachiro
    U-Um... This is safe, right?
[12:47] Hachiro
    Like, actually safe? Ah!
[12:50] Feles
    Pipe down. It'll be fine.
[12:52] Hachiro
    B-But...
[12:57] Alga
    All ready.
[13:01] Martes
    Business as usual, right?
[13:02] Martes
    The gate'll open if we cut the right one?
[13:05] Alga
    And the wrong one will trigger lockdown.
[13:07] Martes
    Feles-senpai, you do the honors!
[13:09] Feles
    Huh? Me?
[13:11] Alga
    It's a 50 percent chance, although the
    little lady always gets it right.
[13:15] Alga
    Well, I'm sure it'll work out.
[13:17] Feles
    Huh?
[13:18] Feles
    I'll let you do it.
[13:20] Martes
    No, I'm good. That's the leader's job.
[13:23] Feles
    Huh? Since when am I the leader?
[13:26] Ulula
    Woof, woof.
[13:29] Feles
    Fine.
[13:31] Martes
    Great! We're counting on you!
[13:33] Feles
    Hang on!
[13:34] Martes
    No hard feelings. Just hurry up.
[13:48] Alga
    You're useless!
[13:50] Alga
    How'd you screw up a 50 percent chance?
[13:52] Martes
    Seriously. You're unbelievable.
[13:54] Feles
    You said no hard feelings!
[13:56] Hachiro
    Wh-What's going on out there?!
[13:59] Hachiro
    Hey! What's that sound?!
[14:02] Hachiro
    Is this really okay?!
[14:05] Hachiro
    Hey! Are you listening?!
[14:14] Alga
    Okay, next one.
[14:17] Alga
    This time, there's only one
    wrong wire out of four.
[14:22] Martes
    So, it's 75 percent safe?
[14:24] Martes
    I'll do it!
[14:26] Martes
    Hm... Which one should I pick?
[14:33] Feles
    How did you get that wrong?!
    It was only one in four!
[14:36] Martes
    That's weird. Equa-senpai makes it look easy.
[14:40] Alga
    I've told you, that's her special abili—
[14:50] Hachiro
    What's going on?!

    Please tell me!

    What's happening outside?!
SIGN    Kana
[15:01] Feles
    What's this?
[15:02] Alga
    Looks like we just need to turn on
    the matching color combination.
[15:06] Alga
    It's basically a game of concentration.
[15:09] Feles
    That sounds like your specialty.
    This one's all you.
[15:12] Alga
    I can't very well refuse.
[15:16] Alga
    Here goes.
[15:23] Martes
    You piece of junk!
[15:25] Alga
    I suck at concentration. It takes thinking.
[15:28] Feles
    You're totally useless!
[15:32] Ulula
    Woof!
[15:39] Martes
    Good-for-nothing.
[15:40] Alga
    What'd you say, gel girl?
[15:42] Feles
    They just keep coming.
[15:45] Feles
    This looks bad. Is there
    anything we can use for cover?
[15:47] Alga
    Use this.
[15:48] Feles
    That's our client!
[15:49] Feles
    Absolutely not.
[15:50] Feles
    No way. Nope. Nuh-uh.

    Hey, what is it? I'm scared!
[15:57] Hachiro
    What's going on?!
[16:06] Hachiro
    U-Um...
[16:08] Feles
    Well done.
[16:09] Martes
    What a pain.
[16:11] Hachiro
    What's that?
[16:13] Hachiro
    Actually, what's up with
    this whole situation?
[16:16] Feles
    We're almost there. You'll be
    able to make your escape soon.
[16:20] Feles
    So hurry up and climb in.
[16:22] Hachiro
    Wait! Give me a real explanation!
[16:26] Hachiro
    What's been happening this whole—
[16:27] Feles
    It's fine. Don't worry.
[16:29] Martes
    Just a little bit further,
    Hachiro-san. Let's go for it!
[16:33] Hachiro
    What the hell?!
[16:34] Hachiro
    You won't explain anything,
    and you keep putting me in danger!
[16:38] Feles
    You can do it! We know you can!
[16:40] Hachiro
    I don't want to! I've had enough!
[16:44] Feles
    Freedom is just around
    the corner. Don't give up!
[16:46] Hachiro
    Who cares where it is?!
[16:48] Hachiro
    And of course I'm giving up—I'm sick of this!
[16:52] Ulula
    Woof!
[16:53] Alga
    They're here!
[16:54] Feles
    Why?! This never normally happens!
[16:58] Martes
    There are too many of them.
[17:00] Alga
    This doesn't look good.
[17:02] Equa
    Please close your eyes!
[17:05] Feles
    Equa!
[17:05] Equa
    Quick, close them!
[17:24] Alga
    An EMP grenade?
[17:26] Martes
    Are we safe now?
[17:27] Equa
    Over here! Hurry!

    Senpai! Senpai!
[17:46] Martes
    Are you feeling all right?
[17:48] Equa
    Yes, just about.
[17:50] Equa
    I'm so glad you're all safe.
[17:52] Feles
    Why did you come?
[17:54] Equa
    I'm sorry. I couldn't help worrying.
[17:57] Martes
    Sorry, Equa-senpai! If only we'd been better.
[18:07] Alga
    Using ammo that pricey will
    put us in the red for sure.
[18:11] Alga
    Of course, it did save our butts.
[18:13] Ulula
    Bow-wow.
[18:15] Feles
    Yeah, I guess.
[18:17] Hachiro
    No...
[18:19] Hachiro
    No more. I can't take this.
[18:22] Hachiro
    It's all so scary.
[18:24] Equa
    Hachiro-san, I'm Equa, an extractor.
[18:29] Equa
    I'm so sorry for putting you through
    such a frightening experience.
[18:35] Equa
    I'm going to help you.
[18:38] Equa
    What would you like to do?

    I...

    I want... to go home.
[18:53] Hachiro
    My hometown bores me to tears,

    but everywhere else is
    dangerous and terrifying.
[19:00] Hachiro
    So, I give up.

    Don't be. We're happy as
    long as you're happy.
[19:59] Hachiro
    In that case, um...
[20:01] Hachiro
    May I hire you again if I
    ever do want to run away?
[20:07] Equa
    You may! If that happens,
    just give us a call.
[20:13] Hachiro
    Thank you so much.
[20:19] Feles
    Was that really the right call?
[20:22] Equa
    He can escape as many times as he wants.
[20:25] Equa
    What you want to do, and where and when you
    want to do it, are different for everyone.
[20:32] Equa
    Thank you all very much.
[20:34] Equa
    You made today a success.
[20:38] Feles
    I guess we're helpless without you.
[20:41] Martes
    You "guess"? We totally are!
[20:44] Martes
    Equa-senpai! I was so glad that
    you came to save me today!
[20:49] Alga
    Especially since you did nothing but fail.
[20:52] Feles
    You couldn't even relay messages right!
[20:55] Alga
    Really? I thought I did a good job.
[20:57] Martes
    How?!
[20:57] Feles
    You've got to be kidding me!
[21:00] Equa
    Well then, let's head home ourse—whoops.
[21:03] Martes
    Senpai?!
[21:04] Feles
    Hang on.
[21:04] Alga
    Are you okay?
[21:05] Ulula
    Arf?
[21:07] Equa
    I'm sorry.
[21:08] Feles
    Jeez. Don't overdo it.
[21:11] Equa
    Um, sorry about that.
[21:13] Feles
    Come on, leader. Let's go.
[21:15] Martes
    Stop, Equa-senpai! If you need a
    shoulder to lean on, use mine!
[21:20] Alga
    How about mine?
[21:21] Feles
    Do you even have shoulders?
[21:22] Ulula
    Bow-wow!
