**[00:03] Robota**
The Alan Institute
**[00:04] Robota**
is a mysterious support organization
that has expanded globally.
**[00:07] Robota**
It's uncertain whether it's actually
an individual or a group.
**[00:11] Robota**
But they seek out geniuses suffering
from poverty or other obstacles,
**[00:14] Robota**
and provide free assistance.
**[00:16] Robota**
It ranges from sports, literature,
entertainment, medicine, and technology.
**[00:21] Walnut**
I didn't come here to listen to something
that even a child would know.
**[00:24] Robota**
In other words,
they're not a group that would kill.
**[00:28] Walnut**
It's a fact that they tried
to get rid of me.
**[00:30] Walnut**
The question is, how did they identify
the location of my condo?
**[00:35] Robota**
Ka-boom!
**[00:38] Walnut**
I’m surprised you were able
to record it.
**[00:39] Robota**
Right? I got myself
a new drone just for this.
**[00:43] Robota**
That current location of yours
isn't a dummy, is it, Walnut?
**[00:48] Walnut**
So it was you.
**[00:51] Walnut**
You sold me off to those guys.
**[00:59] Robota**
I got it!
**[01:00] Robota**
The time for someone else to take over
the top hacker in this country has come!
**[01:03] Robota**
Farewell, old geezer!

MY °HAND-PICKED° RECOMMENDATIONS
CHISATO SELECTIONS
**[03:12] Chisato**
Oh no! I fell asleep!
**[03:15] Chisato**
Crap, not good. Oh no, not good.
**[03:17] Chisato**
Um, this one! And this!
**[03:24] Chisato**
Sorry to make you wait!
Chisato is here!
**[03:26] Chisato**
Oh, Mr. Yoshi. Welcome!
**[03:28] Chisato**
You haven’t been here in almost a month.
**[03:30] Shinji**
You remembered me?
**[03:32] Chisato**
Well, this café doesn't have
that many patrons.
**[03:35] Chisato**
Oh, I'm just joking.
**[03:37] Chisato**
You were Takina's first customer,
so I wouldn't forget.
**[03:40] Chisato**
Where were you this time?
United States? Europe?
**[03:45] Chisato**
I know! China, right?
**[03:47] Shinji**
So close! I was in Russia.
Here's a souvenir.
**[03:53] Chisato**
Huh? What is this?
**[03:57] Chisato**
You met Teach in Russia, too?
**[03:59] Mika**
Chisato, hurry up and get ready.
**[04:02] Chisato**
Awe come on, can’t you tell me?
**[04:06] Shinji**
We'll talk about that some other day.
**[04:07] Shinji**
I'll just excuse myself now, then.
**[04:14] Chisato**
Thank you for the souvenir!
**[04:19] Mika**
Chisato.
**[04:20] Chisato**
So? How urgent is this?
**[04:22] Mika**
A group of armed assailants
is currently chasing the target.
**[04:24] Chisato**
That's a big deal.
**[04:26] Chisato**
Takina, have you heard
the details about the job?
**[04:28] Takina**
Yes, roughly.
**[04:30] Chisato**
Okay.
**[04:31] Chisato**
Oh, you know the goods
I talked about yesterday?
**[04:33] Chisato**
I left it over there so you should take it
when you're heading out.
**[04:39] Chisato**
Wait, where's Mizuki?
**[04:40] Mika**
She's already securing the getaway route.
**[04:43] Chisato**
She's unusually enthusiastic.
**[04:46] Mika**
The reward was triple market price,
paid in full and in advance.
**[04:49] Chisato**
No wonder.
**[04:51] Mika**
It just means this is a critical situation.
**[04:53] Mika**
The enemy count is five to ten.
**[04:55] Mika**
Amateurs that are almost pro-level.
**[04:57] Mika**
I've confirmed
they have rifles, too. Be careful.
**[05:00] Chisato**
Roger that. Let's go!
**[05:04] Chisato**
By the way, I'm hungry.
**[05:06] Takina**
We don't have time.
**[05:15] Takina**
That will be the getaway route.
**[05:17] Takina**
After we get past the gates at Haneda,
we will swap with Mizuki.
**[05:20] Takina**
Um, are you listening?
**[05:22] Chisato**
Yup. The client is an amazing hacker, right?
I wonder what kind of person they are.
**[05:26] Chisato**
Maybe something like
a thin, short man with glasses.
**[05:30] Chisato**
Click, clack, TAP!
**[05:33] Takina**
You've been watching too many movies.
**[05:37] Chisato**
Takina, what is that?
**[05:39] Takina**
A jelly drink.
**[05:40] Chisato**
No, no, Miss Takina.
**[05:42] Chisato**
Do you understand
our current situation?
**[05:45] Takina**
We are on a limited express train
to meet up with our client.
**[05:47] Chisato**
Right! We have to eat lunch before that.
**[05:50] Takina**
I am doing so right now.
**[05:51] Chisato**
Huh? That's your lunch?
**[05:53] Chisato**
We're on a limited express.
Let's have some station lunch boxes.
**[05:56] Chisato**
You want some?
**[05:57] Takina**
No thank you.
**[05:59] Chisato**
Oh, don't say that!
The flavored boiled egg is delicious.
**[06:03] Chisato**
Here. Say, "aah."
**[06:09] Chisato**
Is it yummy?
**[06:10] Takina**
Yes.
**[06:11] Chisato**
Yup, it’s yummy.
**[06:13] PA**
*Thank you for boarding this train.*
**[06:15] PA**
*We will arrive momentarily at Kitasenju.
Next stop, Kitasenju.*
**[06:16] Takina**
We're getting off.
**[06:18] Takina**
We’re switching trains in less than 10 minutes.
That's why I chose the jelly.
**[06:21] Chisato**
Is that so?
**[06:23] PA**
*For Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line bound
for Ueno, Ginza, and Nakameguro.*
**[06:23] Takina**
You weren't listening after all.
**[06:28] Kusunoki**
Walnut is dead?
**[06:31] Woman**
That's the rumor on the Dark Web.
**[06:33] Woman**
However, he has died multiple times
in the past 30 years.
**[06:37] Kusunoki**
He's an enigmatic figure.
**[06:39] Kusunoki**
It would help us a lot if he disappeared
with all the intel he drew out from us.
**[06:44] Kusunoki**
But I can't rest easy from geeks' rumors.
**[06:47] Woman**
Also, we have analysis results from
that photo submitted to us from LycoReco.
**[06:53] Woman**
It was indeed about three hours
before we commenced the operation.
**[06:57] Kusunoki**
So we were given a false time for the deal.
We really have lost our touch.
**[07:03] Kusunoki**
It's rather blurry. Can you get any details?
**[07:06] Woman**
It will take a bit more time,
but we will make sure to.
**[07:11] Chisato**
Hey, Takina.
**[07:13] Chisato**
After we meet up with this hacker named Walnut,
how are we going to get to Haneda?
**[07:18] Takina**
You really weren't listening to anything at all.
**[07:21] Chisato**
Huh? I'm sorry!
Can you tell me again, Lady Takina!
**[07:24] Takina**
Our manager arranged a car for us
in the parking lot.
**[07:28] Chisato**
What, seriously?
**[07:29] Chisato / Takina**
- Yes, yes, yes! I’ll drive!
- No, I will.
**[07:32] Chisato**
Huh? Why? Takina, can you
actually drive a car?
**[07:36] Takina**
You can't become a Lycoris if you couldn't.
**[07:42] Takina**
It’s that parking lot over there.
**[07:44] Chisato**
Whoa! It's a supercar!
**[07:46] Chisato / Takina**
- Wow! Amazing!
- That really stands out.
**[07:49] Chisato**
I’m going to drive it after all!
**[07:57] Chisato**
Wow, what's that?
**[07:59] Walnut**
Wal...
**[08:00] Takina**
...nut.
**[08:01] Walnut**
Hurry up and get in.
Pursuers are coming!
**[08:03] Chisato**
What? Was that a codeword?
That was so tacky.
**[08:06] Chisato**
Huh? Hey! Wait!
What about that supercar?
**[08:09] Chisato**
I wanna go in the supercar!
**[08:15] Chisato**
Why is the target to protect
so gallantly showing up in a car?
**[08:18] Chisato**
It's the other way around, isn't it?
**[08:20] Chisato**
Oh man. The supercar.
**[08:22] Takina**
It stands out, so this is better.
**[08:25] Walnut**
Sorry things are different
from the plan. I'm Walnut.
**[08:29] Chisato**
Yeah, okay. I'm Chisato.
**[08:31] Takina**
And she's Takina.
**[08:33] Chisato**
You're quite different from
the Mr. Hacker that I had imagined.
**[08:37] Chisato**
You thought I would be some
malicious, thin, four-eyed boy?
**[08:40] Walnut**
If so, you've seen too many movies.
**[08:42] Takina**
See, I knew it.
**[08:43] Chisato**
No, no, no. But in any case,
nobody would imagine a character costume.
**[08:46] Walnut**
Simply put, hackers live longer
by hiding their faces.
**[08:50] Walnut**
A high school girl assassin
is more abnormal than me, Lycoris.
**[08:53] Takina**
It's more rational than a bear hacker.
**[08:56] Chisato**
Takina, that's a dog.
**[08:58] Walnut**
It's a squirrel.
**[09:06] Walnut**
How is it rational?
**[09:08] Chisato**
In other words, this outfit
is the least alarming in Japan.
**[09:13] Walnut**
So a girl's high school uniform
is urban camo, so to say.
**[09:17] Takina**
What's this big thing?
**[09:19] Walnut**
My life belongings.
**[09:21] Walnut**
It's better to travel light if you're fleeing
out of the country, no?
**[09:24] Chisato**
But you sure don't look lightly dressed.
**[09:27] Chisato**
But I'm jealous.
**[09:29] Chisato**
I want to travel overseas, too.
**[09:31] Walnut**
Wanna come with me?
**[09:32] Chisato**
We don't have entries in family registries,
so we can't get passports.
**[09:38] Takina**
They're not coming.
**[09:40] Chisato**
Right.
**[09:41] Chisato**
It doesn't look like anyone is coming after us.
Should we just head straight to Haneda?
**[09:44] Takina**
No, we're told to change cars.
**[09:47] Takina**
Mr. Walnut, please head to this location.
**[09:50] Walnut**
Got it.
***SIGN*** ON A CALL
**[09:52] Robota**
Let’s see.
**[09:53] Robota**
He got two chicks in the car.
If they get in the way, you can kill them.
**[09:56] Grunt**
Sorry. They shook us off around the park.
**[10:00] Robota**
So useless. At least work
as much as you're paid.
**[10:04] Grunt**
What a nasty guy.
**[10:08] Takina**
Huh? Aren't you going on the expressway?
**[10:10] Walnut**
What's going on?
**[10:11] Chisato**
No, that's our line.
**[10:18] Walnut**
They took over the car.
**[10:20] Chisato**
Hold on a second, now!
**[10:25] Walnut**
Must be Robota. He's gotten good.
**[10:28] Chisato**
Where are we headed?
**[10:30] Walnut**
We're accelerating.
**[10:33] Walnut**
He's planning to plunge us
straight into the ocean.
**[10:35] Takina**
Sever all circuits.
**[10:37] Walnut**
No. Even if we regain control,
Robota would overwrite that immediately.
**[10:41] Robota**
That's right, Walnut!
**[10:44] Chisato**
Huh? Then what should we do?
**[10:46] Walnut**
If we could physically sever ourselves
**[10:48] Walnut**
from the internet the moment
we finish the process on our end...
**[10:50] Chisato**
Huh? Where's the router?
**[10:52] Walnut**
I don't know. This isn't my car.
**[10:54] Takina**
Miss Chisato, over there.
**[10:59] Chisato**
So that’s the one.
**[11:00] Takina**
If he catches on, it will get away.
**[11:13] Chisato**
*Nah, I'm not confident about that.
I'll leave that to you, Takina.*
**[11:16] Walnut**
*All right, regaining control.*
**[11:19] Walnut**
*Three... Two... One...*
**[11:22] Robota**
How futile!
**[12:02] Chisato**
Everyone, stay still for now.
We'll all get out on my mark.
**[12:06] Walnut**
M-My suitcase...
**[12:08] Takina**
I'll get it.
**[12:17] Chisato**
Let's change locations for now.
**[12:22] Robota**
*He has armed bodyguards.
Don't screw up so many times, got that?*
**[12:28] Grunt**
He has bodyguards.
Let’s proceed with caution.
**[12:31] Grunts**
Yeah!
**[12:31] Grunt**
Let's go.
**[12:32] Grunts**
Yeah.
**[12:37] Takina**
Yes. We've evacuated
into that supermarket.
**[12:39] Takina**
No obvious wounds on any of us.
**[12:41] Mika**
*All right. Be careful
when you’re moving around.*
**[12:48] Robota**
I see through it all, you know.
**[12:51] Robota**
These are your orders. Listen up.
**[12:53] Chisato**
Please follow me.
**[13:03] Grunt**
I found them! They’re armed!
**[13:06] Chisato**
Here goes!
**[13:17] Grunt**
Oh, damn it!
**[13:21] Walnut**
Huh? No! Wait!
**[13:22] Walnut**
Don't use that as a shield!
**[13:25] Chisato**
Hey, you can't do that!
**[13:26] Walnut**
I told you
that was something valuable, didn't I?
**[13:29] Chisato**
Takina, it sounds like you can't do that!
**[13:32] Grunt**
Enough! Get back!
**[13:33] Takina**
Don't ask for the impossible!
**[13:52] Chisato**
You had your chance!
**[14:07] Grunt**
*It’s not hitting her!*
**[14:37] Chisato**
Stay still. I'll treat that wound.
**[14:39] Grunt**
What are you...
**[14:42] Chisato**
You're bleeding.
**[14:45] Takina**
Let's escape
before enemy backup arrives.
***SIGN*** VASELINE
**[14:49] Chisato**
Hold on for a bit.
**[14:51] Takina**
They'll surround us.
**[14:53] Chisato**
He's going to die.
**[14:57] Walnut**
The enemy isn't watching
the getaway route yet.
**[14:59] Walnut**
We can still make it.
**[15:01] Chisato**
I'll be right behind you guys.
**[15:06] Takina**
Let's go.
**[15:10] Grunt**
What's the meaning of this?
**[15:12] Chisato**
Can't you tell? Triage.
**[15:14] Grunt**
Stop it. Are you mocking me?
**[15:18] Chisato**
Do you want to die, then?
**[15:19] Grunt**
S-Stop that.
**[15:21] Chisato**
Who will you eat dinner with tonight?
**[15:24] Grunt**
My family...
**[15:25] Chisato**
That sounds nice.
**[15:29] Grunt**
What?
**[15:31] Chisato**
The guys I shot will be fine.
**[15:33] Grunt**
Rubber bullets, huh?
**[15:36] Grunt**
That's enough.
**[15:37] Grunt**
Hurry up and go.
**[15:40] Chisato**
All right. Make sure to get
some iron in your diet.
**[15:44] Grunt**
Don't go that way.
**[15:47] Grunt**
Our hacker's drone is watching.
**[15:50] Grunt**
He's waiting for you.
**[15:56] Takina**
Huh? Wait...
**[15:57] Chisato**
Takina! Don’t go outside!
**[16:17] Takina**
Walnut!
**[16:18] Grunt**
All right! I landed at least 10 shots!
**[16:21] Grunt**
*What now? Should I get
those bodyguard girls too?*
**[16:23] Grunt**
No need.
**[16:26] Grunt**
Let's go eat something.
**[16:29] Takina**
We failed. The escort target has died.
**[16:32] Mika**
*An emergency vehicle
will arrive very soon.*
**[16:34] Mika**
*Gather up the corpse and the luggage,
and get away from there.*
**[16:37] Takina**
Roger that.
**[16:51] Shinji**
Are those bodyguards
that are near him?
**[16:54] Robota**
*Should we have killed them off, too?*
**[16:56] Shinji**
No, you did a fine job. This finally ends
all of my requests from last month.
**[17:02] Shinji**
Thanks for working hard for so long.
**[17:04] Shinji**
I'll ask for your services again sometime.
**[17:08] Robota**
*Now that I'm the best hacker in Japan,
you can ask me anything, anytime!*
**[17:13] Robota**
*See you!*
**[17:15] Shinji**
A bird does not foul the nest
that it is about to leave.
**[17:17] Shinji**
That's what's so good about you, Robota.
**[17:23] Shinji**
Just like a tool.
**[17:36] Takina**
I'm sorry.
**[17:37] Chisato**
It's not your fault, Takina.
**[17:43] Walnut**
I guess it's been long enough now?
**[17:51] Mizuki**
So hot! Give me a beer!
**[17:56] Chisato**
Mizuki!? Huh? Wh-What? How?
**[17:58] Chisato / Mika**
- Calm down, Chisato.
- Huh? Teach?
**[18:04] Mizuki**
Oh, this is bulletproof.
**[18:06] Mizuki**
The secret is that it makes
a flashy bloodbath.
**[18:07] Mizuki**
It's seriously heavy as hell, though.
**[18:09] Takina**
Um, what about the actual Mr. Walnut?
**[18:11] Mizuki**
That's right! Where did he go?
**[18:13] Kurumi**
Right here.
**[18:16] Kurumi**
The best way to fully escape from pursuers
is to make them think you died.
**[18:20] Kurumi**
Then they won’t inquire any further.
**[18:27] Takina / Kurumi**
- Then you were shot on purpose?
- Huh? It's pitch black?
**[18:31] Kurumi**
It was his idea.
**[18:33] Mizuki**
Oh man, I totally had a Hollywood-class
gigantic explosion all ready,
**[18:38] Mizuki**
but I guess it’ll go to waste.
**[18:40] Mika**
It's a good thing
this all ended so quickly.
**[18:43] Kurumi**
You properly handled an unexpected
turn of events. You did well.
**[18:48] Chisato**
W-Wait a minute!
I have so many things to ask!
**[18:52] Chisato**
So, in other words, everything
went as planned, and nobody is dead?
**[18:56] Mizuki**
Right.
**[18:58] Chisato**
Oh, I'm so glad everyone is all right!
**[19:01] Mizuki**
She's really good about paying up,
so I put my life on the line for this!
**[19:04] Chisato**
Sheesh! I thought I had let him die.
**[19:08] Chisato**
I can’t believe it. I'm so glad!
**[19:11] Chisato**
I'm really glad you were all right. Really!
**[19:19] Mika**
Why don't you get out of
your foul mood already?
**[19:22] Chisato**
You could have told me about it
beforehand, don't you think?
**[19:26] Mizuki**
But you're such a terrible actor.
**[19:29] Mizuki**
It was better for you to be giving us
a natural reaction to things along with Takina.
**[19:34] Mizuki**
See? Like this.
**[19:38] Chisato**
What are those photos?
And when did you take them, Mizuki?
**[19:41] Takina**
Maybe the policy to value
people's lives is impossible?
**[19:46] Takina**
If we had moved together back there, I don't think
we would have ended up with that result.
**[19:51] Mizuki**
But if you did, it would have been
an inconvenience for me.
**[19:54] Chisato**
I can't leave the person
in front of me to just die.
**[19:57] Takina**
We Lycoris are authorized to kill.
**[20:01] Takina**
Worrying about enemies...
**[20:04] Chisato**
Those guys...
**[20:06] Chisato**
just happened to be enemies this time.
**[20:09] Chisato**
If nobody died in the end, that's good.
All's well.
**[20:12] Takina**
I don't think that's what this is about.
**[20:15] Mika**
Now, both of you, stop it.
**[20:18] Mika**
I'm sorry that we executed an operation
that deceived both of you.
**[20:21] Chisato**
Oh Teach, you're going to bribe us
with sweets, aren't you?
**[20:25] Mika**
You don't want any?
**[20:26] Chisato**
Oh no, I'll have some!
**[20:28] Chisato**
Takina.
**[20:30] Chisato**
Can you lay the cushions out
in the tatami room?
**[20:33] Takina**
Sure.
**[20:34] Mizuki**
As always, you're really good
at switching gears.
**[20:44] Chisato**
There was something in here just now!
**[20:49] Mizuki**
She asked us to shelter her for a bit.
**[20:52] Mizuki**
Don't make too much of a mess!
**[20:54] Chisato**
Huh? But why?
**[20:55] Mika**
Oh, welcome.
**[20:57] Chisato**
I thought she was
a zashiki-warashi or something!
**[21:00] Shinji**
It's quite festive here.
**[21:02] Mika**
You sure drop by often lately.
**[21:04] Shinji**
Your ohagi mochi is delicious.
**[21:06] Shinji**
To think you couldn't even make
decent coffee in the past.
**[21:10] Mika**
It has been ten years after all.
**[21:12] Mika**
Aren't you busy?
**[21:14] Shinji**
One of my jobs finally settled down.
**[21:18] Shinji**
I had some trouble cleaning up.
**[21:20] Shinji**
I was dealing with someone
as nimble as a squirrel.
**[21:27] Chisato**
So are you going to be living here?
**[21:29] Kurumi**
On the condition that
I help you guys out with your work.
**[21:32] Kurumi**
Just so you know,
I'm doing this at a huge discount.
**[21:35] Chisato**
If that's the case,
can you find the guy in this photo?
**[21:38] Chisato**
Oh, not the guy in the front,
but the tiny guy in the back.
**[21:42] Shinji**
Little Chisato!
**[21:45] Chisato**
Oh, Mr. Yoshi, welcome!
**[21:47] Chisato**
I'm a little busy right now,
so I'll talk to you later!
**[21:53] Shinji**
She's quite the lady now.
**[21:55] Mika**
That thing?
**[21:57] Shinji**
Mika.
**[21:59] Shinji**
So you and Chisato here...
**[22:02] Shinji**
What kind of work do you two do?
**[22:09] Kurumi**
I was able to interpolate
the image resolution.
**[22:11] Chisato**
You're one of us now.
What's your name?
**[22:13] Kurumi**
Walnu...
**[22:14] Chisato**
Whoa, whoa! That's a dead guy, right?
**[22:17] Chisato**
Now tell us your real name.
**[22:21] Kurumi**
Kurumi.
**[22:23] Chisato**
You just translated the word
into Japanese!
**[22:25] Chisato**
But that name suits you a lot better!
Nice to meet you, Kurumi.
**[22:29] Kurumi**
Nice to meet you, Chisato.
**[22:33] Chisato**
Come on out.
Let's eat some dango together.
**[22:36] Chisato**
You too, Takina!
**[22:37] Kurumi**
Ow! Ouch!
