[02:23] SUIREN
    Last night, a pro wrestling match
    was interrupted by a Lottanite.
[02:28] SUIREN
    However, Otsuki Mina apprehended the
    Lottanite, and the match resumed.
[02:33] DAISUKE
    This is the second time this month that
    aliens have interrupted our nation's sports events.
[02:39] MINA
    What are we to do about
    these alien sports fans?
[02:42] MINA
    It's thanks to the Rabbit Force that we
    can watch sports with peace of mind.
[02:46] SUIREN
    Athletes, thank you for another
    fine performance today.
[02:50] SUIREN
    We hope you'll do your best again tomorrow.
[02:57] STAFF
    Okay, good.
[03:02] DAISUKE
    You did pretty well today.
[03:05] MINA
    Thank you.
[03:06] DAISUKE
    Should we head out to Roppongi together?
[03:09] MINA
    Sure.
[03:09] SUIREN
    She can't. She's a high school student.
[03:13] DAISUKE
    You can join us in three years, then.
[03:15] STAFF
    What are we going to do about the
    three-minute segment that starts tomorrow?
[03:19] KATO
    Fifty years of pro wrestling history is just
    Ono P hankering for the good old days.
[03:23] KATO
    Pro wrestling isn't in right now.
[03:27] STAFF
    Yeah, but Ono P told us to do
    it, and my hands are full.
[03:32] STAFF
    Is there anyone we can hand it off to?
[03:33] KATO
    We don't have a choice.
    Make Tsukudani do it.
[03:37] STAFF
    What?
[03:39] STAFF
    Anyway, we're leaving it up to you, Tsukuda.

    That said, it airs tomorrow.
    Maybe I'm asking too much.
[04:05] MINA
    No, let me do it.

    I don't have school tomorrow. I'll

    Was that Mina?
[04:42] MOM
    Yes. She's working overtime.
[04:45] DAD
    Maybe it's not possible for her to work
    and go to school at the same time.

[05:55] MINA
    I need to finish writing a script tonight.
[05:58] ESCARTIN
    She's doing what?
[06:00] ESCARTIN
    She'll pay for trying to earn points
    with such underhanded tricks.
[06:10] BABY
    Hey. I have a lot of things to tell you.
[06:14] MINA
    You shouldn't hide in there.
[06:16] ESCARTIN
    Did she notice me?
[06:18] MINA
    I'll pretend I never saw you.

    If you insist.
[06:24] ESCARTIN
    Despite how she seems, she's

[06:27] BABY
    I forgot to explain some
    things to you the other day.
[06:31] MINA
    I'm busy right now.
[06:34] BABY
    Sports entertainment is a rare
    custom found only on Earth.
[06:40] BABY
    Not only that, but it has
    captivated the entire universe,
[06:42] BABY
    and there are many passionate fans.
[06:45] BABY
    Because countless aliens attempt to
    interfere with sports entertainment,
[06:48] BABY
    the Astral Civilization Non-intervention
    Policy and Rabbit Force were established,

    as you earthlings know.
[06:55] BABY
    Arresting aliens who violate
    the policy is your job.

    Tsukuda Mina, it is your destiny
    to live as Tsukishiro Mina.
[07:07] MINA
    Why?
[07:08] BABY
    What?
[07:09] BABY
    Uh, it's a long story...
[07:13] MINA
    I'm not going to become Mina.
[07:15] BABY
    What? Why not?
[07:16] MINA
    I've already got my hands full attending
    school and working as an announcer.
[07:20] BABY
    Then you should quit being an announcer.
[07:23] MINA
    What?
[07:24] BABY
    What?
[07:30] MINA
    You're interrupting my work.
[07:32] GUARD
