***SIGN*** I never thought
***SIGN*** that I would encounter an XX-jellyfish (sic)
***SIGN*** in this place
**[02:08] Mitsugu**
* I just happened to come*
* to this beach to swim.*
**[02:12] Mitsugu**
* and was stung on the left*
* arm by a jellyfish.*
**[02:16] Mitsugu**
*I need to find a doctor as soon as possible.*
**[02:21] Mitsugu**
*My precious blood.*
**[02:24] Mitsugu**
* The blood I should be feeding*
* Mai is flowing out of me...*
***SIGN*** Capital Under Martial Law
**[03:00] Mitsugu**
Excuse me for asking, but...
**[03:02] Kanbara**
Ask us anything.
**[03:04] Okada**
After all, we're public servants.
**[03:06] Horita**
We're obligated to answer
the taxpayers' questions.
**[03:11] Kanbara**
By the way, this armored fighting
vehicle you're looking at...
**[03:15] Okada**
...is the Type 16 mobile combat
vehicle used by the Mobile Division,
**[03:19] Okada**
also known as the Mobile Brigade
of the Rapid Deployment Regiment,
**[03:24] Okada**
as well as by the Reconnaissance Combat
Battalions of Local Deployment Divisions.
**[03:26] Mitsugu**
Actually—
**[03:28] Kanbara**
Developed in 2007 to replace
tanks on some missions and reduce
**[03:34] Kanbara**
the number of tanks in service, as
well as improve redeployment speed,
**[03:37] Kanbara**
it officially entered service in 2016.
**[03:41] Okada**
Utilizing an independent suspension
system with four wheels
**[03:44] Okada**
on each side for a total of eight wheels,
**[03:46] Okada**
it comes equipped with a
Japanese-made 105 mm L/52 gun
**[03:49] Okada**
and 7.62 mm machine gun on
a fully rotating turret.
**[03:55] Okada**
Its firepower is equal to or even
greater than the Type 74's.
**[04:00] Mitsugu**
That's not what I—
**[04:02] Horita**
The Type 16 mobile combat vehicle
overcomes the low accuracy and recoil
**[04:07] Horita**
of conventional wheeled tanks with
its advanced fire-control system
**[04:12] Horita**
and vibration control technology.
**[04:15] Horita**
Its accuracy is high even
when firing on the move.
**[04:20] Mitsugu**
I'm not asking about that.
**[04:22] Mitsugu**
Is there a doctor around here?
**[04:24] Kanbara**
I see.
**[04:25] Okada**
In other words, you mean...
**[04:27] Horita**
You're looking for a doctor.
**[04:30] Mitsugu**
If you guys have any love at all
for Mai, then take me to a doctor.
**[04:38] Kanbara**
I see.
**[04:39] Okada**
I'm finally beginning to understand
what you're trying to say.
**[04:42] Horita**
In other words, this is
what you're asking us.
***SIGN*** Where can I find a doctor?!
**[04:51] Mitsugu**
Enough with the mean-spirited jokes!
**[04:54] Mitsugu**
You'd point your guns against
your own blood sister?
**[04:58] Mitsugu**
I could die here!
**[05:04] Mitsugu**
My precious blood is flowing out of my body.
**[05:09] Mitsugu**
Someone. Anyone.
**[05:11] Mitsugu**
Somebody tell me!
***SIGN*** Where can I find a doctor?!
**[05:17] Mitsugu**
I know. If I go to a school,
there might be a doctor there.
**[05:22] Mitsugu**
That's it.
**[05:34] Mitsugu**
Anyway, these railroad tracks
sure are difficult to walk on.
**[05:40] Mitsugu**
I'm beginning to feel impatient.
**[05:46] Mitsugu**
The flies. The flies...
**[05:52] Mitsugu**
The flies rub their hands and feet.
**[05:58] Mitsugu**
Strike not the fly that rubs its hands
**[06:06] Mitsugu**
and feet together.
**[06:28] Mitsugu**
This train arrived at just the right time,
**[06:32] Mitsugu**
but isn't it heading back towards
the direction I came from?
**[06:38] Kaoru**
Try sitting on the other side.
**[06:41] Kaoru**
Then you'll feel like you're traveling
in the opposite direction.
**[06:46] Mitsugu**
Now that you mention it, you're right.
**[06:49] Kaoru**
You don't even have to go to school
to learn about that principle.
**[06:52] Kaoru**
Everybody knows that.
**[06:54] Mitsugu**
That's right.
**[06:56] Mitsugu**
I need to remain pragmatic.
**[06:59] Mitsugu**
Despite being an otaku, you saved my life.
**[07:02] Kaoru**
What do you mean, "despite?"
**[07:16] Mitsugu**
This is the street corner where I started.
***SIGN*** Capital Under Martial Law
**[07:25] Mitsugu**
I've wasted so much time.
**[07:30] Mitsugu**
All right. In that case,
I'll thoroughly search the entire town.
**[07:36] Mitsugu**
No, in this case,
**[07:38] Mitsugu**
it's more grammatically correct to say I'll
"through-lilly" search the entire town.
**[07:51] Mitsugu**
Damn it! This neighborhood
is nothing but urologists!
**[07:54] Mitsugu**
I'm not an old man with
an enlarged prostate!
**[08:00] Mitsugu**
Anyway, this place is as
quiet as a ghost town.
***SIGN*** Blended Bath
**[08:12] Mitsugu**
What's this?
**[08:13] Mitsugu**
That's a sign for a public bath.
**[08:17] Mitsugu**
That's odd, though.
**[08:21] Mitsugu**
I feel like I've always known
about this public bath.
**[08:25] Mitsugu**
It feels so familiar.
**[08:30] Mitsugu**
That candy shop, too.
**[08:33] ---**
Hallelujah
***SIGN*** Tobacco
**[08:40] Mitsugu**
How nostalgic.
**[08:42] Mitsugu**
They're playing a game of menko.
**[08:44] Mitsugu**
But my generation shouldn't
know about that game.
**[08:50] Mitsugu**
You kids.
**[08:51] Mitsugu**
You seem to be playing Proletariat Detectives
**[08:54] Mitsugu**
versus Petite Bourgeoisie with Twenty Faces menko.
**[08:57] Kanbara**
So, what?
**[08:58] Okada**
You can't have our menko cards.
**[09:00] Horita**
If you want some,
you'll have to buy them yourself.
**[09:02] Mitsugu**
Perhaps I'll purchase that mask, then.
**[09:06] Kanbara**
Anyway, you...
**[09:08] Okada**
...look just like the old lady
attendant at the blended bath.
**[09:11] Horita**
You're practically identical.
**[09:13] Mitsugu**
Do we look that similar?
**[09:15] Mitsugu**
Wait, I'm a high school girl!
**[09:18] Kanbara**
Not just similar.
**[09:20] Okada**
When that old woman first
arrived in this town...
**[09:23] Horita**
She wanted menko cards, too, just like you.
**[09:26] Mitsugu**
How did she end up becoming
an attendant at the bath?
**[09:33] Mitsugu**
When did that happen?
**[09:38] Mitsugu**
Like me, she wandered into town,
**[09:43] Mitsugu**
and bought a bunch of masks and menko cards.
**[09:46] Mitsugu**
Then she said she wanted to take a bath,
so she was taken to the blended bath.
***SIGN*** Blended Bath
**[10:00] Nami**
The water's gotten worse recently.
**[10:03] Kaoru**
Your skin's starting to show its age.
**[10:05] Maki**
What about your flat chest?
**[10:07] Jinko**
You should get that looked at soon.
**[10:09] Nami**
Maybe I'll visit a urologist.
**[10:11] Maki**
What are you talking about?
**[10:12] Jinko**
The new urologist that opened up on 3-chome.
**[10:15] Maki**
Ah, the one with the macho
and handsome director.
**[10:18] Nami**
Looking at him every day
has anti-aging effects.
**[10:20] Kaoru**
Really?
**[10:21] Maki**
No, obviously not.
**[10:23] Jinko**
Quick and efficient Takatsu Clinic.
**[10:26] Nami**
They don't accept insurance.
**[10:27] Maki**
And it hurts.
**[10:28] Kaoru**
And it's expensive.
**[10:29] Nami**
Speaking of expensive,
there's that designer apartment complex.
**[10:32] Maki**
What are you talking about?
**[10:33] Jinko**
That new rental property on 4-chome.
**[10:37] Maki**
You mean that pointlessly green
building shaped like a toilet seat?
**[10:40] Nami**
Looking at it every day makes me feel
like a socialite with a hot body.
**[10:42] Kaoru**
Really?
**[10:44] Maki**
No, obviously not.
**[10:46] Nami**
Nothing's better than a bath
and a lymphatic massage.
**[10:49] Jinko**
Quick and efficient hormone therapy.
**[10:51] Maki**
It doesn't hurt.
**[10:52] Nami**
And it's free.
***SIGN*** Women's Bath
***SIGN*** Men's Bath
**[10:58] Mitsugu**
Until that old woman who looks like me
sat in the attendant's seat at the bath,
**[11:06] Mitsugu**
nobody sat in that seat.
**[11:09] Mitsugu**
Apparently customers visiting the baths
would sit in the attendant's seat.
**[11:15] Kanbara**
Truly.
**[11:17] Okada**
This is, without a doubt...
**[11:18] Horita**
Paradise.
**[11:20] Mitsugu**
They're right.
**[11:21] Mitsugu**
But why am I alone allowed to
enjoy this meaningless paradise?
**[11:26] Kanbara**
It's probably your past life.
**[11:29] Mitsugu**
What are you talking about?
**[11:31] Okada**
It's karma.
**[11:32] Horita**
Your fate from a past life.
**[11:34] Mitsugu**
You guys...
**[11:36] Mitsugu**
Do you guys actually...
**[11:39] Mitsugu**
Do you guys actually believe in past lives?
**[11:43] Kanbara**
If we didn't have past lives...
**[11:45] Okada**
...then we...
**[11:46] Horita**
...wouldn't be alive.
**[11:48] Mitsugu**
Why? Why wouldn't you be alive?
**[11:52] Kanbara**
Because if we didn't have past lives...
**[11:54] Horita**
...then we would be like...
**[11:56] Mitsugu**
Like what?
**[11:59] Horita**
Bathwater.
***SIGN*** Are you a ghost?!
**[12:05] Mitsugu**
So, what happened to the attendant
who looks like me after that?
**[12:10] Kanbara**
Nothing, really.
**[12:12] Horita**
She actually still sits...
**[12:13] Horita**
In the attendant's seat at the bath.
**[12:16] Kanbara**
She really does look like you, though.
**[12:18] Okada**
Even your voices are the same.
**[12:19] Horita**
You probably have similar
personalities, too.
**[12:21] Mitsugu**
Then I'll just have to enter the bath, too.
**[12:24] Kanbara**
What did you say?
**[12:25] Okada**
You can't do that!
**[12:27] Horita**
If you do that, something
terrible will happen!
**[12:30] Mitsugu**
What do you mean, "terrible"?
**[12:36] Kanbara**
Get Katsuno!
**[12:38] Okada**
Someone get Katsuno!
**[12:40] Horita**
Get Katsuno!
**[12:41] Mitsugu**
Don't bring that gorilla here!
**[12:45] Kanbara**
Didn't you need a doctor?
**[12:46] Okada**
A doctor!
**[12:47] Horita**
Weren't you looking for a doctor?
**[12:50] Mitsugu**
That doesn't matter anymore!
**[12:52] Mitsugu**
I'm going to sit in the attendant's
seat for no reason at all!
**[12:57] Kanbara**
If you...
**[12:59] Okada**
If you sit there...
**[13:00] Horita**
If you sit in the attendant's seat
for no reason at all, then...
**[13:41] Jinko**
Why are you acting like that?!
**[13:52] Sign**
Makkiriya
**[13:56] Mai**
Miss, come have a drink.
**[14:06] Mai**
Despite being penniless, you were
looking around for a doctor?
**[14:11] Mai**
How truly astonishing.
**[14:13] Mitsugu**
It's true that I'm looking for a doctor,
but I promise I'm not messing around.
**[14:20] Mitsugu**
If anything, having a drink at this place
and sulking in bed would be far easier.
**[14:27] Mitsugu**
Mai, do you work as a hostess here?
**[14:29] Mai**
I was sold here from Transylvania.
**[14:34] Mai**
I'm the unhappiest girl in the world.
**[14:37] Mitsugu**
So, tell me about your
parents who sold you off.
**[14:41] Mai**
My father comes from an
unaccomplished family.
**[14:44] Mitsugu**
Is he that man taking a bath over there?
**[14:50] Mai**
My unaccomplished father won't listen to me.
**[14:54] Mitsugu**
Is he really that unreasonable?
**[14:57] Mai**
He refuses to hear what I have to say.
**[14:59] Mitsugu**
And what about the master of
this house who bought you?
**[15:03] Mai**
The woman who bought me comes
from an unaccomplished family.
**[15:08] Mitsugu**
I have no idea what's going on.
**[15:10] Mitsugu**
Sounds like a rather
complicated relationship.
**[15:14] Mai**
Thank you for waiting.
**[15:24] Mitsugu**
You seem quite accustomed to working here.
**[15:27] Mitsugu**
What kind of name is Mai?
**[15:29] Mai**
I told you, my name is
Mai Vlad Transylvania.
**[15:33] Mitsugu**
In that case, Mai Vlad Transylvania-san,
would you like a drink?
**[15:38] Mai**
Hey, ma. Wanna drink?
**[15:41] Mitsugu**
That's an obscure reference.
**[15:44] Mai**
What I desire starts with the letter B.
**[15:47] Mitsugu**
Is that a riddle?
**[15:49] Mitsugu**
Starts with the letter B? Is it biscuit?
**[15:52] Mai**
I'm tired of eating biscuits.
**[15:54] Mitsugu**
B*ner? No, it couldn't be that.
**[15:57] Mitsugu**
I can't believe I said that!
**[16:00] Mitsugu**
This drink seems to turn
me into an indecent drunk.
**[16:04] Mai**
It's castor oil and water.
**[16:07] Mitsugu**
I see. There's no underage
drinking happening here.
***SIGN*** Self-censored
**[16:15] Mai**
What I desire is blood.
**[16:18] Mitsugu**
Mai, is blood all you think about?
**[16:22] Mitsugu**
For example, do you think
nothing of your circumstances?
**[16:26] Mai**
They are miserable.
**[16:27] Mitsugu**
You hardly seem miserable to me.
**[16:32] Mai**
I can't help that.
**[16:33] Mitsugu**
Don't you have anything more nuanced to say?
**[16:38] Mai**
Are you drunk on castor oil?
**[16:41] Mai**
I shall take good care of you.
**[16:43] Mitsugu**
That's all right. It seems my
behavior was a bit abrupt.
**[16:47] Mitsugu**
Rather, I get the feeling that I shouldn't
be sitting around here drinking.
**[16:52] Mitsugu**
Like I have something
more important to do...
***SIGN*** Blade Steak
**[16:57] Katsuno**
So you finally remembered.
**[16:59] Mitsugu**
Huh? Well, if it isn't Katsuno.
**[17:01] Katsuno**
Don't give me that crap!
**[17:03] Mitsugu**
Am I wrong?
**[17:04] Mai**
He's Katsuno of Shinden.
**[17:06] Mai**
Katsuno of Shinden?
**[17:08] Mai**
What does Katsuno of Shinden do?
**[17:10] Mai**
He's a delinquent of the
night school's class 2-B.
**[17:13] Mai**
A villainous and horrible man.
**[17:16] Mai**
Every day he comes to torment me.
**[17:19] Mai**
And when he doesn't, I'm made to stand here.
**[17:22] Katusno**
You two have found some nerve
recently, haven't you?
**[17:25] Mai**
I wouldn't know.
**[17:26] Mai**
Keep speaking to me like that,
and I'll tell Doctor Chihiro about it.
**[17:31] Katsuno**
You're from Tokyo, aren't you?
**[17:34] Mitsugi**
Probably, I think.
**[17:37] Katsuno**
Probably?
**[17:39] Mitsugu**
Apparently, it's still unclear
where this series is set.
**[17:42] Mitsugu**
Mai-chan, how much do I owe you?
**[17:45] Mai**
A mere five yen.
**[17:47] Mitsugu**
Really? After all I drank and ate?
**[17:51] Mitsguu**
That's super cheap. Lucky me.
**[17:55] Katsuno**
That can't be possible!
**[18:03] Mitsugu**
A flower.
**[18:05] Mitsugu**
It's a flower. A red flower.
**[18:09] Right**
Gyoza General
**[18:09] Left**
OB-GYN
**[18:12] Old Woman**
So, what kind of doctor are you looking for?
**[18:17] Mitsugu**
One who accepts insurance.
**[18:19] Mitsugu**
If possible, it's definitely necessary
that I find a female doctor.
**[18:22] Old Woman**
Then you should visit the
doctor in my building.
**[18:26] Mitsugu**
Ma'am, you made quite a bit
of money for yourself.
**[18:30] Mitsugu**
This building was constructed off of your
patented pot sticker making technique, wasn't it?
**[18:35] Mitsugu**
It was certainly innovative to mix garlic
into the skins of the gyoza itself.
**[18:41] Mitsugu**
However, my mother came up with the
idea before she left our home.
**[18:48] Old Woman**
Uh, oh.
**[18:50] Mitsugu**
Could it be that you're my mother?
**[18:55] Mitsugu**
That's who you are, isn't it?
**[18:58] Mitsugu**
You're my mother from before I was born.
**[19:01] Old Woman**
There's a reason for this.
**[19:06] Mitsugu**
What reason? Tell me.
**[19:10] Old Woman**
To do that, I must explain how the skins
of my special gyoza are made.
**[19:16] Old Woman**
But that would surely bore the audience.
**[19:23] Mitsugu**
I see. In that case, I
can't ask you about that.
**[19:35] Mitsugu**
Doctor Chihiro, please
perform surgery on me!
**[19:39] Chihiro**
Private or public, you don't belong here.
**[19:44] Chihiro**
I'm a insurance doctor who
specializes in blood.
**[19:47] Mistugu**
Please! This is no time to
argue about the details!
**[19:51] Mitsugu**
I might die of blood loss.
**[19:55] Mitsugu**
My precious blood...
**[19:57] Mitsugu**
Mai's blood!
**[20:00] Chihiro**
Fine, then. Perhaps I'll
play doctor with you.
**[20:04] Mitsugu**
What? Are you sure?
**[20:07] Mitsugu**
But I'm a girl.
**[20:09] Chihiro**
Fool! Of course not!
***SIGN*** SLAP SLAP SLAP
**[20:24] Mitsugu**
Doctor, you must be out of your mind!
**[20:29] Chihiro**
Shut up! Hold still!
***SIGN*** Self-censored
**[20:40] Chihiro**
Looks like the surgery was successful.
**[20:43] Chihiro**
Listen closely. You mustn't
tighten that bolt.
**[20:47] Chihiro**
It'll stop the flow of your blood.
**[20:50] Mitsugu**
Doctor Chihiro, I didn't know
you could perform surgery, too.
**[20:53] Chihiro**
I simply utilized the bolt style.
**[20:56] Chihiro**
The world has progressed quite a bit.
**[21:04] Mitsugu**
* And so, we were able to prevent my precious*
* blood from spilling pointlessly.*
**[21:15] Mitsugu**
*All my blood exists to be given to Mai.*
**[21:22] Mitsugu**
* As long as I have this bolt, every last*
* drop of my blood belongs to Mai.*
**[21:32] Mitsugu**
* However, tightening this bolt*
* causes my left arm to go numb.*
**[21:40] Mitsugu**
*But don't read into it too deeply.*
**[21:44] Mitsugu**
* There's no deeper or secret meaning*
* behind it being my left arm.*

I know it's sudden, but allow me
to introduce our transfer student,
**[23:49] Chihiro**
Franken Yasohachi-kun.
**[23:52] Chihiro**
Play nice, everyone.
**[23:54] Mitsugu**
Doctor, you unplugged this, right?!
