[00:02] Tohru
    Miss Kobayashi! Kanna! Breakfast is ready!
[00:08] K
    This miso soup is good.
[00:10] T
    Thank you. I made it using only
    ingredients from this world, too.
[00:18] Both
    We're off!
[00:19] T
    Yes, watch out for cars!
[00:25] T
    Kanna, make you sure you don't
    destroy them if you run into one.
[00:27] ---
    Yup.
[00:32] T
    Yes! This morning I wasn't chastised
    by Miss Kobayashi for any mistakes.
[00:36] T
    It was a perfect morning.
[00:41] T
    I must be improving my skills as maid.
[00:45] T
    Perhaps that means I'm getting
    used to this world, too?
[02:25] Staff
    You've been happier lately,
    haven't you, Kobayashi-san?
[02:29] K
    Huh? Have I?
[02:30] Staff
    You used to be a bit more stoic before.
[02:34] Staff
    It's like you've become a little more open.
[02:39] ---
    See you later.
[02:44] K
    I guess it's been two months
    since she showed up, huh?
[02:51] K
    What was I like back then?
[02:58] Cook
    The secret is to marinate it in honey.
SIGN    Today's Point
[03:01] Cook
    Then it'll grow softer, and the
    meat will absorb flavor more easily.

[03:01] T
    Maybe Miss Kobayashi will eat my tail
    meat if I prepare it like that.

    their lover to do most!

[03:15] Reporter
    I'd love to experience
    it myself at least once!

[03:16] T
    Hmm, so they pursue love with sounds.
[03:18] T
    Just like birds.
[03:19] Caster
    Me, too!
[03:20] T
    Pursue love...
[03:23] T
    Miss Kobayashi.
[03:25] K

[03:44] Kobayashi
    Sure.
[03:46] Kobayashi
    Whoa, you've taken on an awful lot again.
[03:52] T
    I want to see Miss Kobayashi
    working at least once.

    Takiya?!
[04:22] K

[04:35] K
    It means I won't be able to help you,
    Takiya-kun, but is that okay?
[04:40] Takiya
    It's fine, it's fine.
[04:41] Takiya
    Makes sense anyway.
[04:42] Takiya
    Especially given the circumstances.
[04:45] Takiya
    But...

    Sure.

    Hey, can you help me here?
[04:53] Staff
    I'll be right there. Wait a moment.
[04:55] Staff
    This schedule's impossible.
[04:58] Staff
    Can't we adjust it somehow?
[05:01] Staff
    We'll have to reevaluate this.
[05:02] T
    Humans may gather together, help each other,
    and accomplish many things,
[05:03] Staff
    Let's check it one more time.
[05:07] T
    but their civilization could be*
    easily destroyed by dragons.
[05:11] T
    So I think dragons are better.

    How's that project coming?!
[05:19] K
    Oh, not done yet.
[05:21] Boss
    What are you doing?! You're useless!
[05:24] Boss
    What did I tell you?
[05:26] Boss
    I told you get it done right away, didn't I?

    Who's this guy?

    When I say right away, I mean right away!

    Chief's pushing his work
    onto Kobayashi-san again...
[05:30] Boss
    Are you incapable of prioritizing?!
[05:33] Boss
    You need to work to earn your paycheck!
[05:33] Staff
    The chief's project isn't even that vital.
[05:37] Boss
    Listen!
[05:38] Boss
    Quit slacking off and get
    it finished quickly!
[05:41] K
    Understood.
[05:42] Boss
    Hmph! Christ!
[05:50] Staff
    Stop it!
[05:57] T
    Serves him right.
[05:59] T
    That should help Miss Kobayashi—
[06:01] T
    Huh?
[06:04] T
    I thought I was blocking perception?
[06:06] T
    N-No one's found out, right?
[06:28] T
    Miss Kobayashi sure works hard.
[06:31] T
    And so many people rely on her, too.
[06:37] T
    Miss Kobayashi's so cool!

    How's that project going?!

    I haven't received a report on it yet!

    Oh, sorry. I had a lot of things to do.
[06:50] Boss
    Follow my orders first!
[06:52] K
    Yamashita-kun's work
    is higher on the priority list.
[06:55] Boss
    Don't talk back to me!

    You're there, right?

    Whoa, you really were?!
[07:51] T
    How did you know?
[07:52] K
    Huh?
[07:54] K
    I just had a feeling you were.
[07:57] K
    Jeez.
[07:59] K
    I bet it was boring to sneak
    a peek at my work, right?
[08:02] T
    Not at all!
[08:05] T
    I wanted to know more about you.
[08:16] K
    I see.
[08:21] K
    Shall we go home?
[08:24] T
    Yes!
[08:29] Staff
    You've been happier lately,
    haven't you, Kobayashi-san?
[08:36] K
    I wonder what I used to be like?
[08:43] K
    I've already forgotten.
[08:50] Staff
    I heard the chief got
    canned for abusing power.
[08:53] Staff
    Someone sent the director
    a recording of proof.
[08:57] Staff
    Who did that?

    Okay. Now everyone pair up and please
    draw a picture of your friend.

    Okay.

    I bought a bunch of vegetables in season!
[09:38] T
    Since we got them cheaper than planned,
    I guess I'll buy some snacks for Kanna.
[09:48] T
    Mr. Fafnir!
[09:52] T
    I'm home!
[09:54] K
    Welcome home.
[09:55] T
    I was surprised to find you standing there.
[09:59] T
    Oh, here you go.
[10:01] T
    What's going on?
[10:07] F
    I've decided to live in
    this world for a while.
[10:09] T
    Really?!
[10:11] T
    To be honest, I can't
    recommend it that strongly.
[10:14] T
    Can you live with humans?
[10:16] F
    If you can do it, then I can do it.
[10:20] T
    I guess that's true.
[10:21] T
    Then why don't you stay he—
[10:23] T
    Oh, I guess you can't.
[10:26] T
    Do you have any place to stay?
[10:29] F
    I'll live in some nearby mountain.
[10:32] Announcer
    Now for today's news.
[10:34] Announcer
    Last night there were reports of a
    monster spotted in the mountains,

[10:37] Announcer
    and police were dispatched.
[10:39] Announcer
    The monster was said to
    stand 20m at full height.

[10:43] F
    What?
[10:44] F
    Don't stand out?
[10:46] F
    Why do I have to sneak around
    and hide from humans?
[10:51] F
    Maybe I should just destroy them all.
[10:53] T
    Oh, forget about that stuff.
[10:55] T
    You'll be living amongst people.
[10:58] T
    So you have to show some restraint.
[11:00] T
    Right, I know!
[11:04] T
    I'll help search for a place
    for you to live, Mr. Fafnir.
[11:07] K
    Huh?
[11:08] K
    Hey, are you sure, Tohru?
[11:10] T
    I'll be all right!
[11:12] T
    Please leave it to me, Mr. Fafnir!
[11:14] F
    Hmph. I guess I'll see what you can do.
[11:19] T
    Just the other day I watched Miss Kobayashi
    move out, so I understand the process.
[11:24] F
    Oh?
[11:25] T
    You create a "family registration"
    and a "proof of citizenship,"
[11:30] T
    also a "bank account" and a "personal seal,"
    then you show them to a "realtor."
[11:34] F
    That doesn't make sense.
[11:37] T
    So, I made them for you myself.
[11:42] F
    Hold on.
[11:43] T
    Yes?
[11:44] F
    Is this me?

SIGN    Mysterious Large Creature

[11:47] T

[11:48] T
    Your dragon form looked like
    an Ooyama Takeshi, so...
[11:54] F
    You resemble them too much.
[11:55] T
    Huh?
[11:56] F
    You're growing too close to humans now.
[12:01] F
    When you return to your world,
[12:03] F
    will you be able kill humans?
[12:12] T
    I don't intend to return to my world.
[12:15] T
    This is where I belong.
[12:21] F
    In a century or so, that human
    you're attached to will die.
[12:26] F
    Then...
[12:30] T
    I'm fine.
[12:33] T
    The more I treasure these moments
    and being here right now,
[12:36] T
    the sadder I'll be when
    that time comes, I'm sure.
[12:39] T
    But I don't want to call
    those feelings regret.
[12:48] T
    Oh! Green means go.
[12:52] F
    You think they're worth
    speaking so highly of?
[12:56] T
    I do.
[12:59] T
    Because Miss Kobayashi is one of them.
[13:05] T
    Were you worried about me?
[13:09] F
    I was just curious about what
    humans are like in this world.

[13:45] T
    About that...
[13:46] T
    Are you sure it isn't best for
    you to live in your own world?
[13:52] T
    I'm sure it's hard to live here
    without a human you get along with.
[14:01] T
    There is a human you'd be
    all right with, Mr. Fafnir!

    I'm surprised you knew where I lived.
[14:16] T
    I asked Miss Kobayashi.
[14:18] T
    So, Mr. Takiya.
[14:20] Takiya
    What is it?
[14:21] Takiya
    Actually, would you let Mr. Fafnir
    here... stay with you for a while?
[14:27] Takiya
    Oh, Fafnir-dono?
[14:30] T
    Y-Yes.
[14:31] Takiya
    Sure thing.
[14:32] T
    Huh? You mean it?!
[14:34] Takiya
    Well, it's a little cramped, but...
[14:37] T
    You really mean it?!
[14:39] T
    I know I'm one to talk, but this
    dragon's fairly dangerous.

    Hey, about last time...
[14:46] Takiya
    You mean the game?

    What others are there?
[14:50] T
    Well, come on in.

    Tell me more about them.

    So humans really do have hidden powers?!

    God! Kobayashi God!

    Indeed!
[16:31] K
    Listen!

    These are magic tricks.
[16:34] K
    Anyone can do them once they learn how.
[16:37] T
    Anyone?
[16:39] T
    I've heard of this before.
[16:40] T
    Humans usually only use about
    10% of their brain capacity.

    In other words, if humans put their minds to it,
    anyone would be able to use super powers.

    To be able to when they try.
    What crafty, lazy creatures.

    You can do plenty of things humans can't,
     so isn't that good enough?
[19:08] T
    No!
[19:09] T
    I don't want to lose to humans!
[19:12] T
    I can't be inferior to them in any way!
[19:16] T
    Absolutely not!
[19:19] T
    Absolutely.
[19:21] K
    I don't think it's like that, Tohru.
[19:25] K
    I think you actually want
    to understand humans,
[19:28] K
    and that's why you're so desperate
    to understand what you can't.
[19:37] K
    Tohru.
[19:38] K
    You search for the spoon's center of gravity,
[19:42] K
    then using the principle
    of leverage here, there.
[19:53] T
    Huh?
[19:54] K
    Once you understand, it's simple, isn't it?
[19:56] K
    This is, at least. But there are
    some things that aren't that way.
[20:01] K
    So, Tohru, you should focus on the
    things only you can do.
[20:11] T
    Right.
[20:12] T
    I understand.
[20:19] T
    I understand.
[20:29] K
    Tohru.
[20:36] T
    Well!
[20:37] T
    I'm going to show you a
    power only I can use!
[20:42] T
    Please watch, Miss Kobayashi!
[20:44] K
    But don't break anything, okay?
[20:47] T
    Then there's not much I can do.
