00:00It's the Azure Brigade folks I'm not too confident of.
00:12Even when they put their lives at risk to fight on our side?
00:16That could have been an alliance of convenience.
00:19They needed our support while they tried to take down Gustav.
00:22We don't know what they'll do now that they've strengthened their position.
00:26This is very delicate.
00:27If conflict does break out, lots of people could end up getting injured or killed.
00:32Tsukasa, do you think we'll be able to maintain an alliance with the Azure Brigade?
00:41From what I know right now...
00:45There's no way.
00:46Wait a minute, Tsukasa.
00:50The new leader of the Brigade, Conrad, seems like a really good person.
00:53On the surface, yes.
00:55But we've caught him in a serious lie.
00:57Really?
00:58You're sure about that?
00:59Remember Gustav's gold statue we wanted to melt down to help rebuild the city?
01:03When I asked where it was, he told me he really had no idea.
01:08However, I started to get the feeling he had hidden it for his own purposes.
01:12I noticed how hard it was for him to look me straight in the eye.
01:16His whole demeanor indicated he was lying right to my face.
01:20You're saying the Azure Brigade is going to line their pockets with that gold?
01:24I just knew it!
01:25I knew the temptation to take that statue would be too great.
01:29But if you suspected that, Tsukasa, why'd you say we'd bear the costs of rebuilding
01:33the city?
01:34There are two reasons.
01:36First and most importantly, we have yet to confirm Gustav's death.
01:40If he is still alive, he'll come back to try and steal that statue.
01:44We can use it as bait to capture him.
01:47And secondly, I don't believe exposing the Brigade's corruption will actually do them
01:52any harm at the moment.
01:54Why would that be?
01:56Because right now, public opinion in Gustav is with the Azure Brigade, right?
02:00Exactly.
02:01So the first thing we need to do is to make sure that the public's opinion is on our side.
02:07The best way to solidify people's trust is to ensure our rebuilding efforts are successful.
02:12Once that happens, we'll be able to effectively expose the Azure Brigade's corruption.
02:17Until then, we can let Conrad and his associates be as greedy as they want.
02:22Once their corruption is revealed, the money can be taken back by force.
02:27If we're all agreed then, I want to give you some specific assignments going forward.
02:32Hold on just a moment, please.
02:34I know you're probably ready to charge into battle, but Tsukasa... and you, Ringo, are
02:41both under orders to take five days of rest starting immediately.
02:44What?
02:45According to my monitoring of your vitals, both of you have remarkably weakened immune
02:50systems right now.
02:51If you keep pushing yourselves, Ringo will develop tonsillitis in five days, and Tsukasa
02:56will likely collapse with bronchitis in seven.
02:59Both conditions would require at least ten days for recovery.
03:03I suggest you both rest now while you can, and focus on pacing yourselves going forward.
03:09Seeing as how you're the medical expert, I guess I have no choice but to follow your
03:12orders, Doctor.
03:13I appreciate it when patients listen to me.
03:19What a shock.
03:20The hardest-working people here gave up without a fight.
03:23Really?
03:24I'm surprised they've been healthy this long.
03:27Vacation!
03:28Guess you're right.
03:30Hey, Ringo, how about this?
03:33Since we have to take a forced work break anyway, why don't we go on a tour of the city
03:36from beginning to end?
03:50What did you say?!
04:16You're bearing down on a date with Tsukasa?!
04:19Easy!
04:20It's not a date.
04:21He just asked if I'd go out with him.
04:22That's what normal people call a date, Ringo!
04:25It's two humans go out somewhere and have a good time together!
04:29But, truth is, I've never been on a date in my whole life.
04:34I don't have any idea what I'm supposed to do.
04:37I mean, what if he thinks I'm boring?
04:41That would be horrible.
04:43It's too scary.
04:44Maybe I should just turn him down.
04:46What do you mean?!
04:47You have a chance to impress him!
04:49It's a great opportunity!
04:50Are you just gonna stand there and let Weero steal Tsukasa from you?!
04:58No way.
04:59I can do this.
05:02But I need help.
05:07Have I got this right?
05:08You want to know how to get a lot closer to a man?
05:11Mm-hmm.
05:12No problem.
05:13I can help with that.
05:15I've had many successful encounters with beings of the opposite gender.
05:19Really?
05:20What's your secret?
05:21Oh, nothing very difficult.
05:22I happen to have a talented pair of lips.
05:24You know how to use them to hold on to a man?
05:27I've had about a 70% success rate at resuscitation.
05:31Of course, there's not much that can be done when the wounds are too severe.
05:35In that case, you just have to hold their hands while they fight to survive.
05:39If they make it, a deep bond forms between warriors, no matter which side they're on.
05:43I guess you could call it mutual respect from one soldier to another.
05:47Do you know a way to get closer without fighting for your life each time with less blood?
05:53Well, you could try getting in the ring and sparring around with them.
05:57If you do that, the most effective thing to aim for is their groin.
06:01I recommend grabbing them by the testicles.
06:04Blood?!
06:07The secret is to get a good grip on the family jewels.
06:11At that point, even the toughest guy will be completely incapacitated.
06:15See?
06:19Well, uh, thank you.
06:21I'll keep your advice in mind.
06:23Don't let them overpower you, Ringo.
06:25You want respect?
06:26Remember what I said.
06:27When they've got you on the ropes, go for the balls!
06:31You want to know how to start a relationship with a man?
06:34Uh-huh.
06:35Here's what worked for me.
06:37When you finally meet a person you like,
06:39go see some beautiful scenery together,
06:41share some delicious food,
06:43and use the time to get to know each other.
06:47And after a while, once the two of you have grown close to one another,
06:53that's when you let him have it with a chloroform.
06:55Chloro... what?
06:57Yes, you soak a handkerchief in it until it's good and wet,
07:00then you simply place it over his nose and mouth until he passes out.
07:04After that, you take him somewhere out of public view
07:07where you can strip off his pants and underwear.
07:10After that, it's easy.
07:12You just practice what you learned about in sex ed class.
07:31Was my advice helpful to you?
07:33For the future, a-absolutely.
07:37Aww, what do I do?
07:40I don't know who to talk to.
07:42You seem troubled, Ringo.
07:44Huh?
07:47Is... is that you, Shinobu?
07:50Nin, nin!
07:52I understand.
07:53So this is all about Tsukasa, right?
07:56Y-yeah.
07:58Okay, girl, you've come to the right person.
08:00I'm very skilled in the art of coaxing a man into a trap
08:03and then keeping him from escaping.
08:05I don't want to entrap him.
08:07I was just hoping he and I could have a normal relationship.
08:10You're so naive, Ringo.
08:12Love is a hunt.
08:16You mean... with weapons?
08:18Yes, except the weapons in this case are you and your skill.
08:21And the object is capture and release.
08:23I intend to teach you some ninja magic, young woman.
08:26Nin, nin!
08:28I was just hoping for some dating advice.
08:41First thing you need to remember.
08:43It's an iron rule.
08:44You must go to the rendezvous spot earlier than the man,
08:46so you can check it out.
08:48I'm doing as you instructed, Shinobu.
08:50So now what?
08:53There he is!
08:55Today I'm a love hunter.
09:02Oh, there you are.
09:04What are you doing back there, hiding?
09:07Good thing I looked around.
09:09I almost missed you.
09:11Your face is a little red.
09:13Are you all right?
09:14I'm fine.
09:15It's probably just a sunburn.
09:17Are you sure?
09:18We could do this another time.
09:20No, really, I feel okay.
09:22Let's go on the tour.
09:24It should be interesting.
09:26I know it's a little bit early to eat,
09:28but maybe we could get lunch at that place you told me about.
09:31Sure!
09:39It's gonna be hard to tour if we're recognized everywhere.
09:42So what should we do?
09:46Wait a minute.
09:54Here I am.
09:55So, what do you think?
09:57He looks so awesome!
09:59He's cool and cute at the same time!
10:01He's even more attractive than he is in his normal clothes!
10:05Ringo?
10:06Hello, Ringo.
10:08You look very good in that outfit.
10:10You really think so?
10:12Thanks for that.
10:14By the way, you're looking pretty cute yourself.
10:17Oh, thank you.
10:19You're welcome.
10:21You're looking pretty cute yourself.
10:26Thanks, Yukasa!
10:32Look at them!
10:33So pretty!
10:34Are they Biuma nobles?
10:36Absolutely beautiful!
10:39They light up the square!
10:41Uh-huh!
10:43Looks like we're still attracting attention,
10:45but it shouldn't interfere with our tour.
10:47Yes, I suppose you're right.
10:49I'm so intimidated.
10:51He probably thinks I'm terrible company.
10:53Listen, Ringo.
10:54When the time's right, you can't lose your nerve.
10:56You need to line up your target,
10:58pull the trigger,
11:00and bag your trophy.
11:02I have to get in the right frame of mind.
11:04Today, I'm a love hunter.
11:07The first thing I should do
11:09is to find some way to casually take hold of his hand.
11:12If you find it too difficult to make that move yourself,
11:15then your only alternative is to try the nuclear option.
11:18You pretend to slip,
11:19and being a gentleman,
11:21he'll grab your hand to keep you from falling.
11:23You win!
11:24You've now accomplished your objective.
11:27You walk down the street holding hands like lovers!
11:30If I don't do this,
11:32I won't be able to get close to him.
11:34So I have to do it.
11:43Are you all right? What happened?
11:45It's okay. I must have just slipped.
11:48I see. These streets are bumpy.
11:50But don't worry, we're here.
11:52What?
11:53This is it, right?
11:54The place you were telling me about the other day?
11:56Yes, it is. What a lucky break.
12:03Minor setback. It'll be fine.
12:05I tried my best.
12:07I can still recover and make this work.
12:09Step two!
12:11This is what I call the indirect kiss event!
12:14First, you pick out a restaurant
12:16where you're sitting at a counter right next to each other.
12:18Make sure you're on Tsukasa's dominant side,
12:20where he would place his drink.
12:22This is very important for the move that happens next.
12:24You casually place your drink cups very close to each other,
12:27so he can't tell which is which.
12:29And when you grab his cup and place your lips on it,
12:32it's an indirect kiss!
12:34That's an idea I would never have come up with.
12:36But I understand what Shinobu's getting at,
12:38so I'm gonna try it.
12:41All I have to do is get his cup,
12:43before he notices.
12:48Wait.
12:51He grabbed my cup!
12:53We're just swapping space!
12:55Are you trying to tell me something?
12:58Ringo!
13:00What's happening?
13:01Did something go down the wrong way?
13:03Can you breathe?
13:04Talk to me, please!
13:13Congratulations, Dr. Ohoshi.
13:15Your research into genetics
13:17has resulted in you giving birth
13:19to the prodigy of the century.
13:22Ringo, it's time to eat!
13:34Ringo Ohoshi is the youngest person in history
13:36to have received this award.
13:38Her contributions to science and technology
13:40are almost beyond measure.
13:43Ringo, I'm so very proud to have you as my daughter.
14:08Mother!
14:09I finished constructing the super-high-efficiency
14:11solar panels using the liquid metal
14:13I invented last week.
14:15Also, I helped out with the RRM system
14:17you were working on and was able
14:19to finish it for you.
14:20What?
14:23Is something wrong?
14:27Quit bragging about your achievements!
14:29You're a freak of nature!
14:33I'm sorry.
14:38I don't understand.
14:40I must be doing something wrong.
14:42Maybe if I figure it out,
14:44she'll go back to being nice to me again.
14:46I just have to try harder.
14:50Mother, please don't go!
14:52I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry!
14:57You've turned into a monster.
15:00I never should have had you.
15:10I have no friends or family.
15:12Why am I even alive?
15:14Excuse me.
15:16You're Ringo Ohoshi, right?
15:18I heard you were really good at fixing things.
15:20I don't want to bother you,
15:22but I wonder if I could ask a favor?
15:24This watch is broken.
15:26Even when it's fully wound up,
15:28the hands won't move.
15:30I was hoping you could look at it for me.
15:34Why did you come to me?
15:36Because it's easy for you, right?
15:38I hate to ask,
15:40but it's something very precious
15:42that my father gave me.
15:44Ah...
16:07Thanks so much! You're fantastic!
16:09If it's not too much trouble,
16:11I was hoping I could ask you
16:14for this as well.
16:18I appreciate it.
16:27I don't get it.
16:35I don't even know that boy.
16:37So why does he keep bringing me
16:39broken things to fix day after day?
16:41I wonder where you are now, mother.
16:43You never call.
16:49I miss you.
16:59Well, Mr. Computer,
17:01I'm sure you don't want to be put out
17:03to pasture just yet.
17:05So what seems to be your problem?
17:11...
17:31I see what's going on.
17:33The material they used for the frame
17:35is affecting the sound quality.
17:37Repairing the circuit inside won't resolve the issue.
17:39I need to replace these components so they're more compatible.
17:46Phew, those parts are out of production.
17:51I guess I'll just have to make them myself.
18:09I'm sorry. I can't fix things for you anymore. I want to devote my time to inventing. I want to build things from scratch.
18:38I see. I'm glad to hear it.
18:44Why was he smiling when I said I couldn't fix things for him anymore?
18:48I'm sorry to keep asking for your help, Mikogami.
18:51Don't worry, it's fine. But I did want to come by and talk to you. I'm afraid I can't help from now on. My resource isn't going to be available anymore.
19:01That's too bad. Thank her for what she's done so far.
19:05She is amazing. I hope she realizes what a talent she has.
19:09I think she does now.
19:14Wait a minute. He was bringing me all that work just so I would realize my potential as an inventor?
19:34Tsukasa?
19:39Thank goodness. You're finally awake.
19:43Tsukasa? Is that you?
19:49What's going on? I don't understand. Why was I sleeping on your lap?
19:54Oh my goodness. The sun's already going down.
20:04What's the matter? Why are you crying?
20:07After all my preparation for this date, I passed out in the middle of it. I shouldn't have tried to control everything.
20:14And next time, I'll know better.
20:17Huh? What do you mean?
20:19Oh, nothing. I just remembered.
20:22You've been a good friend.
20:25Back when I was so depressed and I didn't know where to go or what to do, you came along and lifted me up.
20:30You gave my life direction and a purpose. I'll always be grateful for that. I'm a lucky girl.
20:37I don't know if Tsukasa and I will ever be more than close friends, but that's not so important to me anymore.
20:43I'll always love him for the caring person that he is.
20:47What is it?
20:50It's just...
20:52Tell me.
20:54Well, can we take a picture together?
20:57Of course. Got your phone? Let's do it.
21:10You look so handsome.
21:12And you're pretty cute. Can you send me a copy?
21:15Sure.
21:16Okay.
21:23You know what? Thanks for asking me out. It really meant a lot to me. Let's do it again sometime.
21:29Yeah, that sounds good.
21:32This was a nice way to take a day off.
21:36This city's in danger.
21:38We have to do everything we can to protect it now that the seeds of democracy have finally begun to sprout.
21:46Ringo, there's something I need from you, and it's important.
21:56It's vital to our future, and you're the only one who can do it.
22:01Of course I will, but...
22:06What is it exactly?
22:16Hey, welcome back, Ringo!
22:20How was your date? Was it successful?
22:23It was actually quite fun.
22:25Oh, wow! This is even better than I imagined!
22:28If you get married and have babies, will you name one after me?
22:31How about Barry if it's a boy, or Berenice if it's a girl?
22:34Stop it, please.
22:36Hey, Ringo, what's the matter?
22:38Tomorrow, we start work on our biggest project yet.
22:43And it's life or death.
22:46To be continued...
