1. Hello, Problem Solver 68.
Copy !req
2. Rikuhachima speaking.
Copy !req
3. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
4. We specialize in intelligence
as well as muscle for conflict.
Copy !req
5. We'll do the crime
if you've got the dime.
Copy !req
6. Very well. Understood.
Copy !req
7. Problem Solver 68 is
on the job.
Copy !req
8. The sky blue archive!
Copy !req
9. I pedal on my bike seeking new sights
Copy !req
10. We'll break the monotony,
no longer trapped in place
Copy !req
11. Daydreaming on the rooftop,
gazing at a sky so blue
Copy !req
12. Those clouds like whales are always changing
Copy !req
13. We'll embrace a past that can't be altered
Copy !req
14. Sharing juice in this world made of sand
is a taste so divine
Copy !req
15. If I were here alone, here without all of you
Copy !req
16. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry
Copy !req
17. A fateful coterie
Copy !req
18. Even if the world's memories blow away
like grains of sand one day
Copy !req
19. The sky, sea, wind, and you,
our youth will never end
Copy !req
20. It's easy to see why we protect what we do
Copy !req
21. Because this is the only place where we belong
Copy !req
22. Ayane, what is this?
Copy !req
23. I found this yesterday
Copy !req
24. inside one of the Kata-Kata
Helmet Gang's armored vehicles.
Copy !req
25. According to my investigation,
Copy !req
26. these shells are supposed
to be totally prohibited.
Copy !req
27. How did the Helmet Gang
even get this kind of stuff?
Copy !req
28. The black market, maybe?
Copy !req
29. Could be.
Copy !req
30. But wouldn't they be difficult
to find, let alone afford?
Copy !req
31. Sounds like they've got
themselves a backer.
Copy !req
32. By investigating how
these parts were distributed,
Copy !req
33. we could pin down who's
helping the Helmet Gang.
Copy !req
34. Right.
Copy !req
35. Plus we might figure out
the reason they've been targeting
Copy !req
36. our school over and over again.
Copy !req
37. So, everyone.
Copy !req
38. Let's start our morning meeting.
Copy !req
39. Sensei will also
be joining us today
Copy !req
40. so please be serious for once.
Copy !req
41. What? You make it sound
as if we're never serious!
Copy !req
42. Welcome to Abydos,
Sensei.
Copy !req
43. Thanks!
Copy !req
44. Are there any suggestions
on what the Foreclosure Task Force
Copy !req
45. should do for our next move?
Copy !req
46. Me, me!
Copy !req
47. First-year Kuromi Serika
has the floor.
Copy !req
48. As the Foreclosure Task
Force's accountant,
Copy !req
49. let me remind you all that our
school is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Copy !req
50. Just catching wanted criminals,
Copy !req
51. or taking on part-time jobs
won't nearly be enough.
Copy !req
52. So I say let's go for the jackpot!
Copy !req
53. And that jackpot is...
Copy !req
54. This right here!
Copy !req
55. Overruled.
Copy !req
56. Serika, that's a
pyramid scheme.
Copy !req
57. It'll never work.
Copy !req
58. No way...
Copy !req
59. I already bought two of them.
Copy !req
60. Serika's a little gullible.
Copy !req
61. It's so cute!
Copy !req
62. So, anyone else?
Copy !req
63. - Here, here!
- All right.
Copy !req
64. Third-year
Takanashi Hoshino, speaking.
Copy !req
65. Please, please be serious.
Copy !req
66. Our school's biggest problem...
Copy !req
67. is that we only have five of us here.
Copy !req
68. Hm.
Copy !req
69. A school's strength
lies in its student body.
Copy !req
70. Therefore...
Copy !req
71. we need more students.
Copy !req
72. Wise words, but what's your plan?
Copy !req
73. Easy peasy.
Copy !req
74. We hijack buses from other schools.
Copy !req
75. What?
Copy !req
76. Stealing school buses?
Copy !req
77. We threaten the passengers
to sign transfers
Copy !req
78. if they want to get off the bus.
Copy !req
79. Then watch as our
enrollment numbers skyrocket.
Copy !req
80. Sounds like a solid plan.
Copy !req
81. Who's the target?
Copy !req
82. Trinity? Or Gehenna?
Copy !req
83. Millennium?
Copy !req
84. Overruled!
Copy !req
85. Take this more seriously!
Copy !req
86. Will the students really
sign transfers under duress?
Copy !req
87. Not to mention how the other schools'
student councils would respond.
Copy !req
88. Yeah, you're right...
Copy !req
89. Please remember to think
before you speak, everyone.
Copy !req
90. Hey, Ayane. I have an idea.
Copy !req
91. Speak, Second-year
Sunaookami Shiroko.
Copy !req
92. Let's rob a bank.
Copy !req
93. What?
Copy !req
94. N-Not another crime!
Copy !req
95. It's the surest method.
Copy !req
96. Our target is the
First Central Bank downtown.
Copy !req
97. I've already scouted
the location of the vault,
Copy !req
98. the guards' patrols, and
the route of the cash trucks.
Copy !req
99. And of course...
Copy !req
100. Oh my!
Copy !req
101. Did you make these yourself, Shiroko?
Copy !req
102. We'll look just like masked wrestlers.
Copy !req
103. You really thought this through, Shiroko.
Copy !req
104. This looks great.
Copy !req
105. Life's all about shooting your shot.
Copy !req
106. Right, Serika?
Copy !req
107. Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
108. She's right. Overruled!
Absolutely no crimes!
Copy !req
109. You know that sort of thing
is wrong, so stop sulking.
Copy !req
110. Everyone, please suggest
ideas we can actually do.
Copy !req
111. Hey! It's my turn!
Copy !req
112. Go, Second-year
Izayoi Nonomi.
Copy !req
113. No more crimes or scams please.
Copy !req
114. Of course!
Copy !req
115. It's neither a crime nor a scam,
Copy !req
116. but legal, wholesome, and helpful!
Copy !req
117. Nonomi!
Copy !req
118. How about we become...
Copy !req
119. idols!
Copy !req
120. High school idols!
Copy !req
121. - Idols?
- That's right.
Copy !req
122. Being idols is a surefire way
to revive the school.
Copy !req
123. Once we make our big debut...
Copy !req
124. Overruled!
Copy !req
125. Why not? I already came up
with our ending pose.
Copy !req
126. Did any of you actually
think about this?
Copy !req
127. Keep this up, and you
can forget about this meeting!
Copy !req
128. Hold on, Ayane.
Copy !req
129. How about we let Sensei chip in?
Copy !req
130. Huh? Me?
Copy !req
131. Yeah, Sensei.
Copy !req
132. Which of today's ideas did you like?
Copy !req
133. W-Which one?
Copy !req
134. Naturally, the bank robbery.
Copy !req
135. No, it was the bus hijacking.
Copy !req
136. Idols please!
Copy !req
137. - M-Maybe the idols...
- You all...
Copy !req
138. Enough is...
Copy !req
139. enough!
Copy !req
140. We made Ayane mad.
Copy !req
141. Target acquired.
Copy !req
142. Hm.
Copy !req
143. Aru, did we really
have to go so far
Copy !req
144. over a simple retrieval job?
Copy !req
145. Call me Boss when
we're working,
Copy !req
146. Chief Mutsuki.
Copy !req
147. Sometimes you have to crack
eggs to make an omelette.
Copy !req
148. Don't fret over
every minor detail.
Copy !req
149. That's what real outlaws do.
Copy !req
150. Aru's being a weirdo again.
Copy !req
151. Uh, Boss...
Copy !req
152. Wh-What's wrong,
Department Head Kayoko?
Copy !req
153. The client wanted the target
brought back unharmed, right?
Copy !req
154. Of course. Is there a problem?
Copy !req
155. Wh-What?
Copy !req
156. Boss, are we...
Copy !req
157. No pay for us.
Copy !req
158. Wh-Wh-What?
Copy !req
159. What did you say?
Copy !req
160. We said sorry, Ayane.
Copy !req
161. The ramen's on us.
So don't be angry.
Copy !req
162. I'm not angry.
Copy !req
163. Let me get that for you.
Copy !req
164. Don't treat me like a child.
Copy !req
165. - Have some more meat, Ayane.
- Fine.
Copy !req
166. Welcome!
Copy !req
167. How many are in your group?
Copy !req
168. Pardon.
Copy !req
169. What is the cheapest item on your menu?
Copy !req
170. That'd be our Shiba Seki Ramen at 580 yen.
Copy !req
171. It's our delicious
house special.
Copy !req
172. Thank you!
Copy !req
173. Aru, the special here
costs 580 yen.
Copy !req
174. Finally, some food
under 600 yen.
Copy !req
175. See, everything worked out fine.
Copy !req
176. Just as planned.
Copy !req
177. Welcome! Table for four?
Copy !req
178. Right this way.
Copy !req
179. Oh, no.
Copy !req
180. We're only ordering one bowl,
so take out is fine.
Copy !req
181. But you're already here.
Please have a seat and eat.
Copy !req
182. We have plenty of room.
Copy !req
183. What friendly staff.
Copy !req
184. You know, what? Why not.
Copy !req
185. Oh, waiter.
Four pairs of chopsticks, please.
Copy !req
186. Eh? Wait a minute...
Copy !req
187. Are you four
sharing a single bowl?
Copy !req
188. S-Sorry.
Copy !req
189. We're all flat broke.
Copy !req
190. It's okay, you don't
have to apologize.
Copy !req
191. You don't understand.
No money means no life.
Copy !req
192. We don't deserve to live.
Copy !req
193. We are less than insects.
Copy !req
194. Sorry for being penniless insects.
Copy !req
195. Haruka, people are staring.
Copy !req
196. What are you saying?
Copy !req
197. Being broke is not a sin.
Copy !req
198. Right, Master?
Copy !req
199. Sure thing.
Money comes and goes.
Copy !req
200. You girls are students, right?
Copy !req
201. Y-Yes.
Copy !req
202. But you pooled your money
just to have my ramen.
Copy !req
203. That warms my heart.
Copy !req
204. I'll get cooking.
Copy !req
205. Please take a seat while you wait.
Copy !req
206. Y-Yes.
Copy !req
207. I think they're overdoing it a bit.
Copy !req
208. Yeah, we're not
always this broke, right?
Copy !req
209. It's only because Aru
is terrible with money.
Copy !req
210. We didn't make a dime
from our last gig.
Copy !req
211. Then we had to drain our savings
hiring muscle for the next one.
Copy !req
212. And yet here we are about to
enjoy delicious ramen, right?
Copy !req
213. Just as planned.
Copy !req
214. But Boss...
Copy !req
215. is our next target strong enough
that we need that many people?
Copy !req
216. That's...
Copy !req
217. I'm convinced Aru
doesn't even know herself.
Copy !req
218. So she hired a whole
squadron out of fear.
Copy !req
219. Who says I'm scared?
Copy !req
220. Failure is not an option.
Copy !req
221. Expect the unexpected!
Copy !req
222. You all know that's
Problem Solver 68's motto.
Copy !req
223. I don't remember us
having that motto.
Copy !req
224. That's because
she just came up with it.
Copy !req
225. Shut up!
Copy !req
226. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
227. Wh-What is this?
Copy !req
228. What a huge bowl!
Copy !req
229. Looks like enough
for ten people.
Copy !req
230. Is this the right order?
Copy !req
231. We can't afford
something like this.
Copy !req
232. Nope, this is all yours.
Copy !req
233. A Shiba Seki Ramen for 580 yen.
Copy !req
234. Right, Master?
Copy !req
235. I measured out
the ingredients wrong...
Copy !req
236. so you girls can
eat the extras.
Copy !req
237. I didn't expect this...
Copy !req
238. but if he worked so hard,
we can't waste it, can we?
Copy !req
239. Let's eat, Aru!
Copy !req
240. Of course!
Copy !req
241. Thank you for the food!
Copy !req
242. So good!
Copy !req
243. Isn't it?
Copy !req
244. The ramen here's the best.
Copy !req
245. It really is.
Copy !req
246. I've eaten at a lot of
different restaurants.
Copy !req
247. But ramen this
delicious is a rarity.
Copy !req
248. Is that uniform from Gehenna Academy?
Copy !req
249. You came a long way to eat.
Copy !req
250. Y-Yes.
Copy !req
251. We're all regulars here.
Copy !req
252. Is that so?
Copy !req
253. - I envy you.
- Kayoko.
Copy !req
254. - Aren't they...
- Mmm.
Copy !req
255. They're Abydos students.
Copy !req
256. It's so nice to meet people
that I click with.
Copy !req
257. Unexpected encounters
like this...
Copy !req
258. are what make
life interesting.
Copy !req
259. Agreed.
Copy !req
260. Aru still doesn't realize it?
Copy !req
261. Should we tell her?
Copy !req
262. No, it's funnier this way.
Copy !req
263. Well, take care.
Copy !req
264. Good luck making money out there.
Copy !req
265. Same to you as well.
Copy !req
266. I'll be rooting for you.
Copy !req
267. See ya!
Copy !req
268. Weren't they nice?
Copy !req
269. Uh, Boss...
Copy !req
270. Yes, Department Head Kayoko?
Copy !req
271. Did you get a good look at their uniforms?
Copy !req
272. Uniforms? What about them?
Copy !req
273. They're students from Abydos High School.
Copy !req
274. Wh-What?
Copy !req
275. What did you say?
Copy !req
276. The look on your face.
Copy !req
277. That means they're our next target?
Copy !req
278. Should I pursue them?
Copy !req
279. No, they're gone already.
Copy !req
280. I figure we'll take
them on soon enough.
Copy !req
281. You can cut loose then, Haruka.
Copy !req
282. R-right.
Copy !req
283. N-No way!
Copy !req
284. I can't believe they
were our next target.
Copy !req
285. Don't sweat it.
Copy !req
286. "We'll do the crime
if you've got the dime."
Copy !req
287. That's our motto, right?
Copy !req
288. So what's the problem?
Copy !req
289. You're right, but...
Copy !req
290. The Boss is a giant softy.
This is gonna be a pain.
Copy !req
291. Now that won't do, Aru.
Copy !req
292. You're the boss that charts our course.
Copy !req
293. Let's go!
Copy !req
294. Eh? Is that what you all
got up to yesterday?
Copy !req
295. Yep! We became friends with some
students from Gehenna.
Copy !req
296. They were really wowed
by the master's ramen.
Copy !req
297. Right?
Copy !req
298. The master's ramen really is the best.
Copy !req
299. What were they like?
Copy !req
300. Apparently they run some
kind of business—
Copy !req
301. The monitors south of the school
detect an armed force approaching.
Copy !req
302. Is it the Helmet Gang again?
Copy !req
303. No.
Copy !req
304. Looks like...
Copy !req
305. a mercenary company.
Copy !req
306. Are you ready?
Copy !req
307. Of course.
Copy !req
308. We'll fight whoever,
just no overtime.
Copy !req
309. Especially at your pay.
Copy !req
310. Quiet about that!
Copy !req
311. Now then, let's go attack
Abydos High School.
Copy !req
312. Roger.
Copy !req
313. Weren't they at Shiba Seki Ramen?
Copy !req
314. Nonomi?
Copy !req
315. Sensei, those are the Gehenna students
we mentioned earlier.
Copy !req
316. You traitors!
Copy !req
317. To think we even gave you
an extra large ramen!
Copy !req
318. Ingrates!
Copy !req
319. Thanks a bunch yesterday.
Copy !req
320. But that was then.
This is now.
Copy !req
321. You know we're broke right?
Copy !req
322. We don't mix business with pleasure.
Copy !req
323. We were paid for this job,
so we have to work.
Copy !req
324. Indeed, it's just who we are.
Copy !req
325. Problem Solver 68!
Copy !req
326. I see. So you lot are hired guns.
Copy !req
327. You're students! You should have
more wholesome part-time jobs!
Copy !req
328. This isn't just some part-time job,
Copy !req
329. it's a serious business!
Copy !req
330. We even have proper titles, too.
Copy !req
331. I'm the Boss.
Copy !req
332. She's the Chief,
Copy !req
333. and this is our Department Head.
Copy !req
334. You're making us look silly.
Copy !req
335. Who hired you?
Copy !req
336. That's a trade secret.
Copy !req
337. Guess we'll have to make you talk.
Copy !req
338. We're just following orders.
Copy !req
339. Don't take it so personally.
Copy !req
340. Everyone, let's go!
Copy !req
341. Right.
Copy !req
342. - Let's make this quick.
- Sure.
Copy !req
343. Stop resisting and just
hand over the school.
Copy !req
344. We'll never do that.
Copy !req
345. Now, Kayoko!
Copy !req
346. Nice, Mutsuki.
Copy !req
347. Drop your weapon.
Copy !req
348. Serika!
Copy !req
349. Serika!
Copy !req
350. Don't worry, I'm fine.
Copy !req
351. I have you now.
Copy !req
352. Geez.
Copy !req
353. C4.
Copy !req
354. Claymore.
Copy !req
355. Shiroko?
Copy !req
356. I'm all right.
Copy !req
357. That was close.
Copy !req
358. We're cornered.
Copy !req
359. Take this!
Copy !req
360. They're no pushovers.
Copy !req
361. Even if we can match their strength,
Copy !req
362. we can't match their numbers.
Copy !req
363. In that case...
Copy !req
364. Everyone,
Copy !req
365. I have a plan.
Copy !req
366. Listen closely.
Copy !req
367. Sensei.
Copy !req
368. Shiroko, there's something
I need you to do.
Copy !req
369. They still haven't surrendered?
Copy !req
370. Keep shooting until they do!
Copy !req
371. Here we go.
Copy !req
372. - Wh-What?
- Why are they so fired up?
Copy !req
373. That hurt!
Copy !req
374. We're not just gonna sit and take it.
Copy !req
375. Just give up.
Copy !req
376. Aru.
Copy !req
377. Haruka.
Copy !req
378. What's with the change in tactics?
Copy !req
379. Could it be...
Copy !req
380. Boss, watch out!
Copy !req
381. For what?
Copy !req
382. Oh no.
Copy !req
383. - Boss!
- Aru!
Copy !req
384. We are Problem Solver 68!
Copy !req
385. We always get the job done.
Copy !req
386. Give up
and hand over your school.
Copy !req
387. No way.
Copy !req
388. Quitting time.
Copy !req
389. And we said no overtime.
Copy !req
390. That's our shift.
Copy !req
391. Yep.
Copy !req
392. N-Now wait a minute!
Copy !req
393. We're so close!
Copy !req
394. You said no overtime pay.
Copy !req
395. You guys handle it.
Copy !req
396. I'm beat.
Copy !req
397. - Wanna get some burgers?
- Sounds good.
Copy !req
398. Can I come too?
Copy !req
399. Seems mercenaries
never work for free.
Copy !req
400. They all left.
Copy !req
401. Guess we just lost.
Copy !req
402. We're in trouble now.
Copy !req
403. Think we should bail, Aru?
Copy !req
404. This battle isn't over.
Copy !req
405. Aru, you sound like
a B-movie supervillain.
Copy !req
406. Shut up. Run!
Copy !req
407. I mean, retreat!
Copy !req
408. Wait up, Aru!
Copy !req
409. Later!
Copy !req
410. What interesting girls.
Copy !req
411. What even was that?
Copy !req
412. Who knows...
Copy !req
413. I'm starving.
Copy !req
414. Now that everything's settled,
Copy !req
415. wanna grab something to eat?
Copy !req
416. - I'm in.
- Yep!
Copy !req
417. Will you treat us, Sensei?
Copy !req
418. H-Hold on! Let me
make sure I have the money!
Copy !req
419. Thanks a bunch!
Copy !req
420. I'll take a window seat on this journey to find
the place where my heart belongs
Copy !req
421. So I can see beyond this sorrow chasing me.
Copy !req
422. We were losing track of time without ever knowing why
Copy !req
423. With all those laughs we shared...
Copy !req
424. Even if... those moments were just ordinary.
Copy !req
425. Those days...
Copy !req
426. One more time, one time more,
Copy !req
427. Knowing they won't come around again!
Copy !req
428. If only I could stay light and beautiful
Copy !req
429. As the moon hanging in the bright noon sky.
Copy !req
430. Would that let me finally forgive
Copy !req
431. All those regrets we made so willfully?
Copy !req
432. We only recognize the important things
Copy !req
433. Once they're gone and lost out of sight.
Copy !req
434. We stretch up to the moon in the bright noon sky
Copy !req
435. Even though it will always be beyond our reach.
Copy !req
436. Oh, those unforgettable, beautiful days...

What trash...
Copy !req
438. What trash...
Copy !req
439. It seems those Abydos girls are
Copy !req
440. more persistent
than our data suggests.
Copy !req
441. But data is always changing.
Copy !req
442. Don't worry.
Copy !req
443. I'll root out
this little error.
