To reach the alternate world campaign citadel

[00:32] Arachne
It's one of our own.
[00:35] Arachne
How very amusing!
[00:38] Arachne
What brings you here, then?
[00:40] Kuroitsu
Your stamp...
[00:43] Kuroitsu
I've come here to get your

[02:21] Kuroitsu
Our request for new equipment
finally went through, Doctor!
[02:25] Doctor
Yes! The repeated submissions
paid off, Miss Kuroitsu!
SIGN Secret Society: Agastia Monster Development Department
Doctor: Hajime Sadamaki
SIGN Secret Society: Agastia Monster Development Department
Assistant: Touka Kuroitsu
[02:30] Doctor
This will let us expand our
research to new materials!
[02:33] Doctor
And if we get results,
we might even get a staff boost!
SIGN Secret Society Agastia Monster Development Department
New Assistant: Wolf Bete
[02:36] Wolf-F
Why the way, Doctor,
what's a whatever-approval form?
[02:41] Doctor
Oh, he did mention a
collective approval form.
[02:46] Doctor
Crap.
[02:48] Doctor
Of course. We have to get that, too.
[02:51] Doctor
A stamp of approval from
each of the executives...
[02:55] Kuroitsu
Hey, that's no big deal.
Wolfie boy and I can split the job.
[03:00] Kuroitsu
We already have Lord Megistus's approval,
[03:03] Kuroitsu
so it's just a formality, right?
[03:04] Doctor
Well... I hope so.
[03:10] Camula
New equipment, eh?
[03:12] Camula
I have no personal objections to it.
SIGN Pluripotent Cellular Executive
Immortal Camula
[03:14] Camula
But I admit to being wary of
anything you bring before me.
[03:17] Kuroitsu
Oh, don't be like that!
[03:18] Kuroitsu
We're friends, aren't we, Lady Camula?
[03:22] Camula
Very well.
[03:26] Camula
But we really should change up
this inefficient nonsense soon.
[03:31] Kuroitsu
Inefficient? How so?
[03:35] Camula
Kuroitsu, are you aware of what it means
[03:38] Camula
to seek out all of the executives?
[03:45] Wolf-F
He's here, but he's not?
[03:47] Assistant
You're here for Lord Eldridge, right?
[03:50] Assistant
He's planning right now.
[03:52] Wolf-F
"Planning"?
[03:54] Narrator
Scientific Advisor Executive Eldridge
possesses a truly startling ability.
SIGN Scientific Advisor Executive
Eldridge
[04:00] Narrator
This ability, known as
the Philadelphia Plan,
[04:03] Narrator
allows him to make himself
completely undetectable
[04:05] Narrator
to denizens of our plane of existence.
[04:09] Assistant
Lord Eldridge is doing sustained
testing of his ability,
[04:14] Assistant
so it can be difficult to get
in touch with him at times.
[04:17] Assistant
Oh, maybe now...
[04:19] Wolf-F
Lord Eldridge! Will you please...
[04:24] Wolf-F
How long will he be at this?
[04:27] Assistant
His previous record was a week,
[04:30] Assistant
but it varies, so...
[04:34] Kuroitsu
Excuse me. Have you seen this person?
[04:37] Kuroitsu
I believe he has a stronghold nearby.
[04:40] lady
My, what a curious character!
[04:43] Shige
Afraid I haven't seen him.
[04:46] lady
Shige dear, didn't you see a great creature
flying off toward that mountain?
[04:50] Shige
Oh, yes.
[04:54] Kuroitsu
Why are executives so insistent on
having their own personal lairs?
[05:00] Narrator
Curse Dragon Executive Fáfnir guards a special
treasure that puts a curse on its owner.
SIGN Curse Dragon Executive
Fáfnir
[05:07] Narrator
Because of this, his lair lies deep in the
mountains, away from human settlements.
[05:27] Wolf-F
I was able to pull your surveillance
station's location from HQ,
[05:30] Wolf-F
but I didn't expect it to be this far down.
SIGN Aqueous Combat Executive
Kraken
[05:34] Kraken
Your ability to dive so
deep without equipment
[05:37] Kraken
proves to me that you're a monster.
[05:40] Kraken
But what proof do I have that
you're an Agastia monster?
[05:44] Wolf-F
Actually, I just need your stamp on this—
[05:46] Kraken
I, Kraken, pride myself on my status
as Agastia's most cautious monster.
[05:53] Kraken
That is why they placed me in
charge of this observatory.
[05:59] Kraken
I will now investigate you... thoroughly.
[06:06] Wolf-F
D-Don't tell me...
[06:08] Wolf-F
No!
[06:12] Kraken
Please fill out your name,
address, age, blood type,
[06:17] Kraken
ID number, and production code,
[06:20] Kraken
as well as favorite sayings,
least favorite foods,
[06:23] Kraken
first CD ever bought, personal motto,
[06:26] Kraken
preference in a partner, favorite magazine,
[06:29] Kraken
and which foot you use first
to step into the bath.
[06:34] Wolf-F
Uh?
[06:35] Kraken
I'll cross-check the information with
headquarters and verify your identity.
[06:39] Kraken
Only then will we discuss work.
[06:42] Wolf-F
Um... could you at least
let me get changed first?
[06:47] Narrator
He received the approval
stamp two days later.
[06:59] Jaguar
You've fought your way through
my impregnable Jaguar Base
[07:03] Jaguar
and reached me at last, Kuroitsu!
[07:07] Jaguar
Your physical prowess is
impressive... for a human.
SIGN Force of Power Executive
Warrior of Jaguar
[07:12] Jaguar
You have my foremost appreciation!
[07:15] Kuroitsu
Well, thanks...
[07:17] Kuroitsu
But that language really
isn't acceptable nowadays.
[07:20] Jaguar
What, really?!
[07:22] Jaguar
Sorry!
[07:24] Jaguar
But don't expect to receive
my stamp so easily.
[07:28] Jaguar
If you can land a single blow against me,
[07:31] Jaguar
then I shall grant my approval to your form!
[07:33] Kuroitsu
Very well.
[07:35] Kuroitsu
I've got a lot of stress built
up that I'm ready to vent.
[07:42] Kuroitsu
But if I defeat you, Lord Jaguar...
[07:44] Kuroitsu
Grant me an executive's seat!
[07:47] Jaguar
You'll have to defeat me first!
[07:49] Kuroitsu
Prepare yourself!
[08:00] Uncle
I prepared this just for you.
[08:03] Uncle
The champagne even matches your hair.
[08:06] Wolf-F
Um, all I need is your stamp, actually.
[08:10] Uncle
No need to rush, now.
[08:13] Uncle
I reserved the entire restaurant for
these private moments with you...
[08:18] Uncle
Miss Bete.
[08:19] Wolf-F
"Miss Bete"?
[08:21] Wolf-F
You're a well-connected guy.
You've gotta know my history!
[08:25] Uncle
Oh, I'm well aware.
SIGN Strategic Intelligence Executive
Long-range Uncle
[08:28] Uncle
Should it bother me?
[08:30] Wolf-F
Okay, I get it.
[08:32] Wolf-F
You've got "long-ranging"...
[08:33] Wolf-F
Or I guess, wide-ranging interests?
[08:36] Wolf-F
I've heard all the rumors.
[08:38] Wolf-F
You've had conquests among
all the female monsters.
[08:42] Uncle
Oh.
[08:43] Uncle
You mean... like this?
[08:49] Wolf-F
He barely touched me,
but suddenly I can't move!
[08:54] Uncle
The muscular system is
highly interconnected, you see.
[08:57] Uncle
And in man-made beings like monsters,
it's even easier to control.
[09:04] Wolf-F
Crud... if this keeps up, I...
[09:14] Uncle
How do you feel?
[09:15] Uncle
Did that remove a bit of your stress?
[09:18] Wolf-F
Hey... my joints do feel a lot looser!
[09:24] Uncle
It seems you've become one of my conquests.
[09:29] Uncle
And I've stamped your form, as well.
[09:31] Wolf-F
Lord Uncle! Thank you so much!
[09:35] Uncle
Please. No need to thank me.
[09:38] Wolf-F
But you also freaking pissed me off,
so is it all right if I pop you one?
[09:44] Uncle
Women frequently tell me that.
[09:46] Uncle
But only one.
[09:48] Wolf-F
All right!
[09:51] Uncle
Truly, women are a difficult breed!

[10:05] Kuroitsu
Ow, ow, ow...
[10:08] Wolf-F
You okay, Miss Kuroitsu?
[10:10] Kuroitsu
I'll give Lord Jaguar one thing:
he doesn't hold back.
[10:14] Kuroitsu
But I'll get a rematch some day!
[10:16] Kuroitsu
You okay, Wolfie boy?
[10:18] Kuroitsu
Lord Uncle didn't take
advantage of you, did he?
[10:21] Wolf-F
H-Hell no!
[10:22] Doctor
Great work, you two!
[10:24] Doctor
But no more stamp rallies for us, right?
[10:27] Wolf-F
Freakin' seriously!
[10:32] Kuroitsu
Yes? Monster Development Department.
[10:35] GA
This is General Affairs.
[10:37] GA
Glad to talk to you.
[10:40] Kuroitsu
Glad to talk to you, too.
[10:42] GA
We checked over the paperwork
you filed earlier,
[10:45] GA
and we noticed that two of the stamps
you submitted weren't approval stamps,
[10:49] GA
and one had the wrong year on it.
[10:52] GA
Could you resubmit the forms, please?
[10:59] both
Hell no!
[10:59] both
Hell no!

Welcome back, Wolfie boy.
[11:56] Kuroitsu
We're about to have a visitor,

[11:59] Wolf-F
A visitor?
[12:00] Wolf-F
And it's not this du—uh, this gentleman?
[12:04] Kuroitsu
Actually, that's the doctor.
[12:16] Wolf-F
Why's he such a pretty boy type?!
[12:18] Wolf-F
It's kinda pissin' me off!
[12:20] Kuroitsu
Not fair, is it?
[12:22] Kuroitsu
Keeping looks like that hidden all day...

This is a lot to say to a guy's face, you two.

[13:17] Elbucky
Doctor! Your intro totally bombed there, mew!
[13:20] Elbucky
What a professional failure, mew!
[13:24] Elbucky
Hey, little wolf girl!
Sorry 'bout that, mew!
[13:27] Elbucky
I didn't wanna do it, but the doctor made me
rehearse her intro with her three times, so—

But we brought him back to life and—
[13:58] Kuroitsu
Wolfie boy! Let's not say
any more than we have to.
[14:02] Kuroitsu
Nothing we might regret, you know?
[14:06] Koharu
Did you really think you
could put one over on us?
[14:10] Koharu
You may have toyed with his memory,
[14:11] Koharu
but your deceit became obvious
with a moment's investigation!
[14:13] Wolf-F
So, what? You're here to apologize?
[14:17] Elbucky
Nah, mew.
[14:18] Elbucky
We couldn't report to the higher-ups
[14:20] Elbucky
that he picked a fight with a rival
organization and got torn to shreds, mew.
[14:23] Elbucky
We came to get our stories straight, mew.
[14:26] Koharu
Precisely.
[14:28] Koharu
It's in our interest to save face, as well.
[14:31] Koharu
And...
[14:32] Koharu
It has been some time, Sadamaki.
[14:35] Doctor
Oh, yeah.
[14:36] Doctor
Since the meetup last year, right?
[14:38] Kuroitsu
What? Do you two know each other?
[14:41] Koharu
Of course we do. We were classmates.
[14:47] Kuroitsu
Classmates with the doctor...
[14:49] Kuroitsu
You're older than me?
[14:50] Koharu
I find that reaction extremely offensive!

[16:17] Koharu
Take this seriously already!
[16:19] Doctor
Did you just come here to
brag about your monster?
[16:23] Koharu
I certainly did.
[16:25] Koharu
After all, Black Lore and Agastia operate...

[16:29] Koharu
With completely different budgets!
[16:31] Koharu
With completely different ambitions!
[16:34] Koharu
No matter how talented you might be,
you can never beat me!
[16:38] Elbucky
Dr. Sadamaki beat her in
every test back in school.
[16:43] Elbucky
Some women just can't drop all
that baggage from their youth, mew.
[16:48] Koharu
Don't go feeding them personal information!
[16:50] Koharu
It's a violation of our code of conduct!

[16:56] Elbucky
Personnel rules don't apply to us, mew.
[16:58] Kuroitsu

[16:59] Kuroitsu
So you're a bit like rivals.
[17:02] Kuroitsu

[18:19] Camula
Hey, Development Department.
[18:21] Kuroitsu
Lady Camula?
[18:23] Camula
It's Premium Friday.
[18:27] Camula
Get going by the deadline, okay?
[18:29] Kuroitsu
Yes, Lady Camula.
[18:31] Koharu
P-P-P...
[18:33] Koharu
Premium Friday?
[18:35] Koharu
What system is that? You invoke its
name as if it were an ancient spell.
[18:41] Narrator
Premium Friday is a campaign
[18:43] Narrator
proposed by the political and economic
worlds to stimulate consumer spending.
[18:48] Narrator
Workers may leave early on the last Friday
of each month to live a more enriching life.
[18:55] Kuroitsu
Agastia still enforces it, as long
as it doesn't affect our work.
[19:00] Kuroitsu
And we're flexible about our shifts
to make sure everyone gets time off.
[19:03] Koharu
It can't be true.
[19:05] Koharu
The value of one's work is based
on how much overtime one takes.
[19:12] Kuroitsu
We're actually pretty respectable
about that kind of thing here, huh?
[19:15] Doctor
Yeah. And if we do get stuck with
overtime, we're paid appropriately.
[19:20] Doctor
Paid vacation requests
usually get granted, too.
[19:22] Koharu
What?
[19:24] Koharu
Black Lore forbids the use of paid vacation.
[19:29] Koharu
When we work overtime, we're supposed to
punch our time card at the usual time.
[19:32] Koharu
Then, so as to avoid outside criticism,
[19:35] Koharu
we use a secret underground
tunnel when we do leave.
[19:40] Koharu
Isn't that our duty as professionals?
[19:43] Kuroitsu
Oh, right.
[19:45] Kuroitsu
I've heard rumors that Black Lore
has huge employee turnover,
[19:48] Kuroitsu
and quite a few of its employees
have died from overwork.
[19:51] Doctor
One of those "black companies"
you hear about, eh?
[20:01] Koharu
That... That can't be true!
[20:04] Koharu
Black Lore is a large and
marvelous organization!
[20:07] Koharu
Working for them makes me
one of life's winners!
[20:11] Koharu
As long as I remain loyal
to my organization,
[20:14] Koharu
victory will always be mine...
[20:17] Koharu
It is trust in the organization
[20:20] Koharu
that will pave the way to my future!
[20:25] Kuroitsu
U-Um... are you okay?
[20:28] Koharu
Y-Yes.
[20:30] Koharu
We're leaving, Bucky!
[20:33] Koharu
Premium Friday...
[20:35] Koharu
Don't go thinking that's enough to beat me!
[20:38] Elbucky
Mew!
[20:42] Narrator
And then, the next day...
[20:46] Koharu
Kuroitsu, everything you
heard was a false rumor!
[20:50] Koharu
Our president told me over and
over with a beaming smile
[20:52] Koharu
that working hard is our duty!
