1. Well, well
Copy !req
2. I have been waiting for you,
Copy !req
3. Horus of Dawn—
Copy !req
4. Or rather,
Copy !req
5. Miss Takanashi Hoshino
Copy !req
6. What do you want this time?
Copy !req
7. The situation's changed a bit
Copy !req
8. Once more,
Copy !req
9. I have a proposal for you, Hoshino—
Copy !req
10. or should I call you
"Abydos' Greatest Mystery?"
Copy !req
11. - Don't be ridiculous!
- Oh my…
Copy !req
12. Please calm down
Copy !req
13. I think you'll find my
offer difficult to refuse
Copy !req
14. It should be rather enticing, in fact
Copy !req
15. The sky blue archive!
Copy !req
16. I pedal on my bike seeking new sights
Copy !req
17. We'll break the monotony,
no longer trapped in place
Copy !req
18. Daydreaming on the rooftop,
gazing at a sky so blue
Copy !req
19. Those clouds like whales are always changing
Copy !req
20. We'll embrace a past that can't be altered
Copy !req
21. Sharing juice in this world made of sand
is a taste so divine
Copy !req
22. If I were here alone, here without all of you
Copy !req
23. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry
Copy !req
24. A fateful coterie
Copy !req
25. Even if the world's memories blow away
like grains of sand one day
Copy !req
26. The sky, sea, wind, and you,
our youth will never end
Copy !req
27. It's easy to see why we protect what we do
Copy !req
28. Because this is the only place where we belong
Copy !req
29. We'll wrap up
Copy !req
30. with some recent events
from the Abydos District
Copy !req
31. While there were reports of explosions,
Copy !req
32. And that's the news for the day!
Copy !req
33. We'll see you tomorrow!
Copy !req
34. How did I end up here?
Copy !req
35. Did you just say something?
Copy !req
36. Um, Head Prefect…
Copy !req
37. How much longer do
I have to do this for?
Copy !req
38. You're at around 200, yes?
Copy !req
39. Didn't you tell me you
would complete 1,000 pages?
Copy !req
40. Well, that was…
Copy !req
41. It was a metaphor for my deep remorse…!
Copy !req
42. Use your hands, not your mouth
Copy !req
43. I-I'll do my best
Copy !req
44. So, um,
Copy !req
45. are you well-acquainted
with Abydos' Hoshino?
Copy !req
46. No, I just investigated her when
I was on the Intelligence Committee
Copy !req
47. That was my first time
meeting her in person
Copy !req
48. I see
Copy !req
49. It's just, you spoke as if you knew her well
Copy !req
50. Takanashi Hoshino
Copy !req
51. She was hailed as a genius, An elite
Copy !req
52. The Intelligence Committee's
analysis two years ago identified
Copy !req
53. her as a potential threat
to Gehenna's security
Copy !req
54. She didn't give me that impression
Copy !req
55. Ako
Copy !req
56. Don't judge a book by its cover
Copy !req
57. But…she does seems a bit
different from two years ago
Copy !req
58. She's an aggressive frontliner,
Copy !req
59. so she was inherently combative in nature,
Copy !req
60. She had a vicious, cutthroat aura
Copy !req
61. Well, regardless,
Copy !req
62. if we hadn't retreated then,
Copy !req
63. most of the Prefect Team
would've been incapacitated
Copy !req
64. Ako, your lack of
preparation is to blame here
Copy !req
65. I thought my analysis of
their capabilities was flawless,
Copy !req
66. but I just didn't know…
Copy !req
67. Well, her name did stop appearing
in activity reports out of the blue
Copy !req
68. The Intelligence Committee
deemed her negligible after that
Copy !req
69. If you're curious, dig
through some old records
Copy !req
70. Ako, you've stopped writing
Copy !req
71. Oh, sorry!
Copy !req
72. Takanashi Hoshino
Copy !req
73. I didn't think she'd
still be in Abydos
Copy !req
74. Um…
Copy !req
75. Where should I put this?
Copy !req
76. Aru made that with her
esteemed calligraphy talents
Copy !req
77. Throw it in the trash pile
Copy !req
78. Are you sure?
Copy !req
79. It's just something she made
during calligraphy class
Copy !req
80. Well, knowing her, Boss might want it
Copy !req
81. Aru…
Copy !req
82. She's bummed about having to move
Copy !req
83. I get how she feels,
Copy !req
84. but the Prefect Team
found out about this place,
Copy !req
85. and our client might come after
us since we failed the job
Copy !req
86. There's no other choice
Copy !req
87. Now that you say it,
Copy !req
88. the way things ended with
Abydos was kinda awkward
Copy !req
89. W-Well, that situation is out of our hands
Copy !req
90. I can hardly attack them after
Copy !req
91. we fought together, side-by-side!
Copy !req
92. I see
Copy !req
93. We may be outlaws,
but that's just the proper way…
Copy !req
94. I agree! So let's get moved
out right and proper too!
Copy !req
95. Kayoko, what should
I do with this?
Copy !req
96. Do you need it?
Copy !req
97. Of course I do
Copy !req
98. Just use your cellphone
Copy !req
99. Convenience is nice, but
this has sentimental value!
Copy !req
100. - What even is that?
- Look at its antique design!
Copy !req
101. It fits an outlaw's
aesthetic perfectly!
Copy !req
102. I-I agree!
Copy !req
103. Because…
Copy !req
104. it's cool
Copy !req
105. As expected of Haruka
Copy !req
106. This isn't a retreat
Copy !req
107. We're taking a step back to spring forward
Copy !req
108. We'll overcome all adversity
Copy !req
109. and return to this office!
Copy !req
110. Because
Copy !req
111. we are true hardboiled outlaws,
Copy !req
112. Problem Solver 68!
Copy !req
113. Tomorrow, we say
goodbye to this place
Copy !req
114. Boss,
Copy !req
115. the landlord says to leave by today
Copy !req
116. since we couldn't pay
last month's rent
Copy !req
117. Aru
Copy !req
118. Then we're homeless now
Copy !req
119. Wh-Wh-What…
Copy !req
120. What did you say?
Copy !req
121. I've loaded everything
Copy !req
122. Okay
Copy !req
123. Cheer up, Aru
Copy !req
124. It's not our first time
being homeless
Copy !req
125. It's just going back to
our roots for a little bit
Copy !req
126. Going back…
Copy !req
127. No, no! We're moving forward!
Copy !req
128. Exactly
Copy !req
129. Where to now?
Copy !req
130. I mean, there's nowhere else to go,
Copy !req
131. so back to Gehenna?
Copy !req
132. Are you leaving?
Copy !req
133. Um…
Copy !req
134. Sunaookami Shiroko, right?
Copy !req
135. Yeah
Copy !req
136. Wh-What are you doing here?
Copy !req
137. You can't be looking for another fight!
Copy !req
138. No
Copy !req
139. I was just riding my bike
in the area and spotted you
Copy !req
140. U-Um
Copy !req
141. About yesterday…
Copy !req
142. We really owe you
Copy !req
143. And about the ramen shop…
Copy !req
144. I can't forgive you for that
Copy !req
145. But you seem remorseful,
Copy !req
146. so I'll consider it a debt
Copy !req
147. And you're the ones who
left the bag there, right?
Copy !req
148. I-I don't know what
you're talking about
Copy !req
149. We don't know anything
about any bag of money
Copy !req
150. Never heard of it, never seen it
Copy !req
151. Aru, the way you said "bag of money"
Copy !req
152. makes it super obvious
Copy !req
153. Th-That's…
Copy !req
154. You're the ones who stole that
money by robbing the bank
Copy !req
155. We're not so corrupt as
to keep someone else's spoils
Copy !req
156. Even hardboiled outlaws
have their principles
Copy !req
157. Ah, Aru's back
Copy !req
158. I gave the bag to the master
Copy !req
159. I see, Thanks
Copy !req
160. Where will you go?
Copy !req
161. To meet a client who needs
Problem Solver 68's services
Copy !req
162. Aru, shall we go?
Copy !req
163. Y-Yeah
Copy !req
164. We need to find somewhere
to sleep tonight
Copy !req
165. O-Okay
Copy !req
166. No handshake?
Copy !req
167. I-I don't do goodbyes
Copy !req
168. - Because—
- You're an outlaw
Copy !req
169. Will we meet again?
Copy !req
170. Well, if that ramen shop reopens,
Copy !req
171. maybe we'll see you there
Copy !req
172. I'll be waiting
Copy !req
173. Then, it's time to head out!
Copy !req
174. - Where to?
- We're riding off into the sunset!
Copy !req
175. It's the afternoon…
Copy !req
176. Anyway, let's go!
Copy !req
177. Hello
Copy !req
178. We've come to visit, Master!
Copy !req
179. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
180. What're you worrying about?
It's just a few scratches
Copy !req
181. More importantly, considering
the size of the explosion,
Copy !req
182. I'm relieved no one else was hurt
Copy !req
183. Yes, but…
Copy !req
184. - The Shiba Seki Ramen shop…
- I know
Copy !req
185. I'm sorry I can't offer you
a job anymore, Serika
Copy !req
186. That's hardly the issue here, Master
Copy !req
187. I'm fine
Copy !req
188. I've been thinking about
closing up shop anyway
Copy !req
189. It's just happening a little
earlier than expected
Copy !req
190. Closing up?
Copy !req
191. Yes, I got an eviction notice recently
Copy !req
192. What do you mean
an eviction notice?
Copy !req
193. Abydos High School owns
the land and buildings
Copy !req
194. within the Abydos District
Copy !req
195. Ah, you didn't know
Copy !req
196. A few years ago, the student council
Copy !req
197. transferred ownership of
the land to another entity
Copy !req
198. Even though it's the Abydos District?
Copy !req
199. Serika, did you know about this?
Copy !req
200. No, it's the first
I've heard of it
Copy !req
201. Does that mean there's some other debt
besides the one we're paying off?
Copy !req
202. I didn't know about this either
Copy !req
203. Then who owns the buildings now?
Copy !req
204. Could it be…
Copy !req
205. Kaiser Corporation?
Copy !req
206. Something like that…
Copy !req
207. Sorry, I can't remember the details
Copy !req
208. We need to dig into this more
Copy !req
209. Ayane, let me help
Copy !req
210. Me too!
Just say the word
Copy !req
211. I'm really sorry about this
It's a weird situation
Copy !req
212. No, it's our problem too
Copy !req
213. Besides, Master,
Copy !req
214. don't think about retiring just yet
Copy !req
215. - Got it?
- Ah, okay
Copy !req
216. Oh, right
Copy !req
217. Could you pull out the thing
under the bed for me?
Copy !req
218. Do you recognize this?
Copy !req
219. - No, well…
- I wouldn't say that…
Copy !req
220. This is…
Copy !req
221. Really? Shiroko
dropped it off earlier
Copy !req
222. She said she found it
in front of the exploded shop
Copy !req
223. So I opened it to see what it was…
Copy !req
224. and there was an astonishing
amount of money inside
Copy !req
225. There must be a story
behind it, right?
Copy !req
226. I don't think so
Copy !req
227. Someone with good intentions
must have sent it
Copy !req
228. Right
Copy !req
229. They probably wanted you to
use it to repair Shiba Seki Ramen
Copy !req
230. Yeah! The people
who left this money
Copy !req
231. must have been moved
by the taste of your ramen!
Copy !req
232. Is this real life?
Copy !req
233. If that's the case, I'll have
to repay them with a hot meal
Copy !req
234. I've kept the shop running all this time
Copy !req
235. because I wanted to
serve delicious ramen
Copy !req
236. to hungry customers
Copy !req
237. Everyone's waiting for
your ramen, Master
Copy !req
238. Get well and reopen
the shop soon, please
Copy !req
239. And I want my old job
back again, Master
Copy !req
240. Okay! Don't you worry!
Copy !req
241. When the shop reopens,
you'll be my first customers!
Copy !req
242. I'll be looking
forward to it!
Copy !req
243. Hi, Hoshino
Copy !req
244. Nice weather today
Taking a rooftop nap?
Copy !req
245. Yeah
Copy !req
246. Something like that
Copy !req
247. What about you, Sensei?
Copy !req
248. I was looking for
somewhere to take a break
Copy !req
249. It's been a while since
you first came here, huh?
Copy !req
250. Huh?
Copy !req
251. It has, now that you mention it
Copy !req
252. At first, I thought you
were some weird adult
Copy !req
253. But I'm pretty reliable, right?
Copy !req
254. No way
Copy !req
255. You're clumsy and a bit naive
Copy !req
256. - But…
- Huh?
Copy !req
257. The Foreclosure Task Force kids
seem more lively these days
Copy !req
258. That's not anything I did,
Copy !req
259. but rather you all chasing
after the goals that matter to you
Copy !req
260. You're probably right
Copy !req
261. Serika's started to rely on others,
Copy !req
262. Ayane's been looking up
more than down lately,
Copy !req
263. Nonomi has had this big smile
Copy !req
264. meant for herself rather than others,
Copy !req
265. and Shiroko…
Copy !req
266. It's like she can breathe again
Copy !req
267. You're working hard too, Hoshino
Everyone depends on you
Copy !req
268. This old-timer just wants
to protect their youth
Copy !req
269. That's right
Copy !req
270. So those kids can keep on smiling
Copy !req
271. To do that, we have to
keep moving forward…
Copy !req
272. Huh?
Copy !req
273. Nothing, Hearing you
say that makes me
Copy !req
274. feel free to nap all I want!
Copy !req
275. Just when I thought we were
having a serious conversation!
Copy !req
276. How like you!
Copy !req
277. Good morning, Arona
Copy !req
278. Eh?
Copy !req
279. Where's my strawberry bread?
Copy !req
280. Banana bread?
Copy !req
281. Am I being punished
for trying to eat both?
Copy !req
282. - Arona?
- Just one bite, please…
Copy !req
283. Huh, Sensei?
Copy !req
284. I'll bring you bread next time
Copy !req
285. Strawberry and banana
Copy !req
286. I'm so embarrassed
Copy !req
287. But thank you!
Copy !req
288. I'll look forward to it!
Copy !req
289. Anyway, didja need something?
Copy !req
290. There's something
that's been bothering me
Copy !req
291. Could you look into
Kaiser Corporation for me?
Copy !req
292. Kaiser Corporation?
Copy !req
293. They seem to be up to something
in the Abydos Desert
Copy !req
294. Understood!
Copy !req
295. Anything else to
investigate while I'm at it?
Copy !req
296. - About Hoshino's…
- Huh?
Copy !req
297. No, it's nothing
Copy !req
298. I think that's something
I need to do myself
Copy !req
299. Because I'm her teacher
Copy !req
300. Is that so?
Copy !req
301. Whatever you say, Sensei…
Copy !req
302. Thank you
You're a great help
Copy !req
303. You can count on me!
Copy !req
304. After all,
Copy !req
305. I'm the Shittim Chest's system manager,
Copy !req
306. main OS,
Copy !req
307. and, of course, your trusty secretary!
Copy !req
308. Now then, is everyone here?
Copy !req
309. Hello, Sensei
Copy !req
310. Welcome back, everyone!
How is the master?
Copy !req
311. He's doing well in body and spirit!
Copy !req
312. He plans to reopen
Shiba Seki Ramen soon!
Copy !req
313. Really? That's great news
Copy !req
314. Yes
Copy !req
315. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
316. There's a new problem actually…
Copy !req
317. We were just about
to discuss it
Copy !req
318. To cut to the point,
Copy !req
319. it seems the ownership
of this district
Copy !req
320. doesn't belong
to Abydos High School
Copy !req
321. How?
Copy !req
322. I thought the school owned
all the land in the district
Copy !req
323. The master told us that the building
Shiba Seki Ramen was in
Copy !req
324. isn't owned by Abydos
Copy !req
325. Since when?
Copy !req
326. We don't know exactly
Copy !req
327. According to the master,
it's been that way for a few years
Copy !req
328. Then who owns it now?
Copy !req
329. Kaiser Corporation
Copy !req
330. This isn't a recent development
Copy !req
331. From Problem Solver 68
to the Helmet Gang,
Copy !req
332. since the beginning, really,
Copy !req
333. we've been trapped under
Kaiser Corporation's thumb
Copy !req
334. Ugh, this is so frustrating!
Copy !req
335. W-We haven't confirmed anything,
Copy !req
336. so we don't know for certain yet…
Copy !req
337. Lately,
Copy !req
338. no matter how much I sleep,
it never feels like enough
Copy !req
339. I really am an old-timer now
Copy !req
340. Hey! Look, look, Doesn't
that cloud look like a whale?
Copy !req
341. Uh, Hoshino?
Copy !req
342. C'mon! Look at that big ol' cloud!
Copy !req
343. Ayane, you can't see well
from where you're sitting!
Copy !req
344. Come over here
I won't bite
Copy !req
345. - Come on!
- Don't pull me!
Copy !req
346. Wait, this is a serious matter!
Copy !req
347. - Now's not the time for…
- Come on
Copy !req
348. Serika, you take a look too
Copy !req
349. Why are you joining in, Nonomi?
Copy !req
350. That cloud, right?
Copy !req
351. Doesn't it look more like
a dolphin than a whale?
Copy !req
352. Hm? Maybe?
Copy !req
353. Hoshino, are you referring
Copy !req
354. to the one above that?
Copy !req
355. Oh, I see
Copy !req
356. The one right under does
look like a dolphin
Copy !req
357. Then,
Copy !req
358. what about the one under
that? Is that a jellyfish?
Copy !req
359. What kind of jellyfish
have you seen before?
Copy !req
360. I guess there might be
some that look like that!
Copy !req
361. Since we're talking about it,
Copy !req
362. should we all go to the aquarium?
Copy !req
363. B-But…
Copy !req
364. Nothing's certain right now
Copy !req
365. Sitting around moping
won't change that!
Copy !req
366. And so,
Copy !req
367. at the very least, I'd like to
keep smiling while I can
Copy !req
368. Besides, Serika,
Copy !req
369. the aquarium has lots of jellyfish
Copy !req
370. They're so beautiful,
gracefully floating around!
Copy !req
371. Let's go together, just this once!
Copy !req
372. Fine, I'll go!
Copy !req
373. That's right, Taking breaks is important too!
Copy !req
374. Of course! We need to keep our spirits up!
Copy !req
375. Sensei, you'll come too, right?
Copy !req
376. What? You're gonna
just abandon us?
Copy !req
377. We're students, so Sensei
has to chaperone us
Copy !req
378. That's true
Copy !req
379. All right! Let's all go
Copy !req
380. We're counting on you!
Copy !req
381. This will be fun!
Copy !req
382. I'll take a window seat on this journey
to find the place where my heart belongs
Copy !req
383. So I can see beyond this sorrow chasing me
Copy !req
384. We were losing track of time
without ever knowing why
Copy !req
385. With all those laughs we shared…
Copy !req
386. Even if… those moments were just ordinary
Copy !req
387. Those days…
Copy !req
388. One more time, one time more,
Copy !req
389. Knowing they won't come around again!
Copy !req
390. If only I could stay as resolute and beautiful
Copy !req
391. As the moon hanging in the bright noon sky
Copy !req
392. Would that let me finally forgive
Copy !req
393. All those regrets we made so willfully?
Copy !req
394. We only recognize the important things
Copy !req
395. Once they're gone and lost out of sight
Copy !req
396. We stretch up to the moon
in the bright noon sky
Copy !req
397. Even though it will always be
beyond our reach
Copy !req
398. Oh, those unforgettable, beautiful days…
Copy !req
