{Ainana Corporation - Cleaning Group}

Townsperson:

Thank you very much for today.

Townsperson:

You cleaned it to the nooks and corners...

Ryuu:

No no, I'm glad that you're happy.

Tamaki:

The waxing was fun. Call us again.

Mitsuki:

From house to garden and even ghosts, please leave the cleaning to us!

Townsperson:

Ghosts? Are you the rumoured ghost exterminators...?

Iori:

Yes. They conceal themselves during the day, but ghosts from other planets invade our world and try to do bad things. Since weak ghosts are not visible for normal people the government has not recognized their existence, but our company has responded to the problem as quickly as possible.

Iori:

In other words, our job is to capture ghosts and transfer them back to their stars. We clean at day and exterminate at night. That's about it.

Iori:

For more information, here's a pamphlet for you. Please continue asking for "Ainana Corporation".

Tamaki:

'Kay, let's go back!

Ryuu:

Iori, should we let HQ know we finished?

Iori:

Right.

*phone rings*

Iori:

Thanks for your work, Iori speaking.

Iori:

We finished the cleaning work from Monster Street to Joker Avenue. Exactly. Until ghosts start appearing, we'll head back to the office. Thanks.

*phone call ends*

Iori:

I've told them.

Mitsuki:

Nice. Thanks, Iori! Today too, Ainana Corporation safely finished their work!

Iori:

Due to our cleaning team's good reputation, job requests have increased recently and the management is also doing smoothly.

Mitsuki:

Well then, let's head back to the office. Tamaki, Ryuu, you've got everything?

Tamaki:

Yup.

Ryuu:

Everything's alright!

Passing by man:

Uhm... excuse me, there's something I'd like to ask...

Ryuu:

Yes? What's wrong?

Passing by man:

I got lost on the way... This is where I want to go and...

Ryuu:

Ah! If you want to go to Secret Park you have to turn right after 3 blocks. Yes, over there...

Ryuu:

Eh? Your navigator broke? Ah, don't worry. It's just not getting any connection. If you do this and that... there, now you can use it again.

Tamaki:

Ryuu, always so kind, huh. He's showing someone the way again.

Mitsuki:

Seriously. Just earlier he helped carry an old lady's luggage while walking a dog.

Iori:

Even if it's someone he just met; he cannot not help. So he's always caught up by people. Well, talking about catching, at least not as much as Gaku.

Tamaki:

It was awful with Gaku.

Mitsuki:

He's too popular and always gets surrounded by women. And then he can't even do his work properly!

Iori:

Well, that's why he was transferred from the cleaning team, right?

Ryuu:

Sorry, I made you wait! Let's head back.

Mitsuki:

Aight! Let's go!

Tamaki:

I'm hungryyyy. Ryuu, do you have any snacks?

Ryuu:

Snacks? Uhm... I don't, no. The chocolate I gave you earlier was the last one.

Tamaki:

Seriously? I'll stop by a snack shop on the way home...

Mitsuki:

Hey, Tamaki! Do it after you cut the time card at the office. You love doing the "gachan!", right?

Tamaki:

I do, but if I can't because I'm starving, I can't cut the time card, right?

Ryuu:

Iori, what are you doing? Inspecting the tools? Shall I carry half?

Iori:

Checking the remaining amount of medicine. ...uhm, everyone!

Iori:

You've used more detergent and wax than planned. Even though I said that we should save on detergents and tools so as to not waste expenses. Especially you, Tamaki.

Tamaki:

Eh?

Iori:

You always use strong detergent, don't you? You should match it to the place and things you're using it on. I always say to properly divide the tools and---

Tamaki:

But that way it gets cleaner faster, right?

Iori:

Speed is also important, but what I'm telling you is to not be wasteful.

Ryuu:

There there, Iori.

Ryuu:

Thanks to Tamaki, today's work ended like planned. Won't you overlook it?

Mitsuki:

And Tamaki too! Take better care next time, yes?

Tamaki:

Okaaay.

Mitsuki:

Wait, what? I forgot the radar and sweeper. Probably in the alley. I'll go fetch it so go on without me!

Iori:

Are you okay? It's evening already, it'll be night soon...

Ryuu:

Shall I go with you?

Mitsuki:

Ryuu, both of your hands are loaded with stuff already! No worries no worries, it's just over there!

Tamaki:

And he gone...

Iori:

Mitsuki is as hasty as always.

Iori:

I wonder if he won't get lost with his non-existent sense of direction.

Tamaki:

Won't he be okay? Mitsuki's cleaning tools have a GPS. The one Yamato made.

Ryuu:

But he precisely forgot those cleaning tools.

Iori, Tamaki, Ryuu:

..........

Tamaki:

Isn't this bad?

Iori:

It is bad.

Ryuu:

Let's go after him!

***

Mitsuki:

Uwah! Another dead end. How weird... I really thought it was this street. I found the things I forgot, but will I make it back by night? Even if I encounter ghosts, I don't have any tools to capture them.

Mitsuki:

I gotta do it with the sweeper one way or another... Hm? Something is stuck in the nozzle. What's this, fur of an animal? But it’s so colourful... Wait, now that I look at it, the radar and sweeper are full of fur?!

Mitsuki:

I hope it's not broken... Tenn from the invention team would get mad... ...huh?

???:

<Kumimimimimi... mimimimi...>

???:

<Kunaanaananana...>

Mitsuki:

...!? Wh-what is this...?!

???:

<Kuya... ya...>

Mitsuki:

Ghosts at this time?! But the radar isn't reacting...

???:

<Kumimimimimi... mimimimi....>

Mitsuki:

An animal...? A-anyway, let's go after them...!

***

Tamaki:

Mitsukiii.

Ryuu:

Mitsuki! We can't find him huh...

Tamaki:

Mitsuki is fast. If he were a phantom thief, we couldn't catch him.

Iori:

But he always gets lost.

Iori:

Also, it's getting dark, I'm worried, maybe we should head back to the office and inform the ghost team...

Mitsuki:

Huh!? Hey, you guys!

Tamaki:

Uwah, there he is!! Mitsuki!!

Ryuu:

Thank god, we were looking for you! Did you get your things?

Mitsuki:

Sorry, I did.

Mitsuki:

But more important than that, did some small mofumofu things about this size pass by here?

Iori:

Small mofumofu?

Tamaki:

What? A cat?

Mitsuki:

No, they were floating fluffily, and colourful... I was chasing them but lost sight of them.

Iori:

Mofumofu and fluffy...?

Ryuu:

A ghost?

Mitsuki:

I don't think so, the radar didn't react.

Tamaki:

Wasn't it just a ball of fur and you thought it moved?

Iori:

So, you left some garbage behind? Aren't you the one responsible for cleaning that part of town?

Tamaki:

Eh? So, it was just dust?

[TL note: Iori added a "Don't you carry pride (誇り hokori) for you job?" And Tamaki goes "So it was just dust (ホコリ hokori)?" and Iori answers "Puraido!" and Tamaki "Oh, that hokori." But since that makes no sense in English I left it out.]

Mitsuki:

I'm telling you it wasn't!!

Ryuu:

Guys, please. The day is ending, let's leave this for tomorrow.

Tamaki:

Crap, I forgot. If the sun sets it gets bad.

Iori:

If the mofumofu fluffy beings really exist then I'll take care of them... but let's head back before ghosts appear.

Mitsuki:

Sorry, this took up so much time.

Ryuu:

At least you're safe. Let's go back.

Chapter 2 – Research

{Ainana Corporation HQ - Invention Team}

Tenn:

Done.

Momo:

Oh! Congrats, Tenn! You did your best this time, right? What is it what is it?

Tenn:

An improved version of the radar to localise ghosts.

Nagi:

How is it different to the ones we have so far?

Tenn:

It made the identification more accurate. In addition, we can analyse if a ghost left something at the place it was.

Yamato:

Oh, how useful. And the switch? Here?

*peeping sound*

Nagi, Yamato, Tenn, Momo:

.......!?

Momo:

It broke?

Tenn:

How strange...

Nagi:

How rare, to think that one of your inventions would fail. Will it rain tonight?

Yamato:

Oh well, everyone has those moments. The thing I was working on is finished too, can you take a look at it?

Tenn:

What did you do, Yamato?

Yamato:

A machine that gives me a beer while I lie down.

Momo:

There it is! A thing from Yamato's good-for-nothing machine series!

Nagi:

Does beer well up from this bowl like vessel?

Yamato:

The other way round, you use it while putting it on your head.

Momo:

You wear it? Like a hat?

Nagi:

Like this?

Yamato: Yes, yes. Then, weak low electricity runs through the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain and it activates a device that controls your judgement functions. In other words, if you wear it and I can input a signal for you to bring me a beer. Well then, switch o---

Nagi:

NO-----------!!!!!

Yamato:

Ah, hey, don't take it off before I turn the switch!

Momo:

Isn't that something evil?

Yamato:

It's just to bring me a beer. Thought I'd try it.

Tenn:

Absolutely not.

Nagi:

That was close... OK, everyone. Let us forget about Yamato's wicked machine and look at my invention please.

Momo:

Nagi finished it too! Show me show me!

Nagi:

Attention please! I created it with the inspiration of the anime I watched the other day.

Nagi:

My innovative functional item is this! Magical Dreaming Stick!

Tenn, Momo, Yamato:

Oohh...?

Nagi:

First, I made it so a loveable and gallant magical girl could fight evil with this, the motive is a shooting star, a very beautiful form.

Nagi:

Matching cheerful music, the beautiful 12 lights it emits give an emotional euphoria to all living things of the world.

Tenn:

I think I saw this in a toy shop.

Momo:

Recently I also saw a ray gun that had special effects.

Yamato:

Hey guys, we're the invention team of Ainana Corporation? We should create stuff that's more useful!

Nagi:

OH! I don't want to be told that by you. My invention brings world peace, its theme is "love and peace".

Nagi:

By respecting magical girls, I created several replica sticks and I shall tell you about the best parts of it. The beam coming from the tip of the stick and produces a hologram of the magical girl in her various outfits. You can watch it for several hours.

Momo, Tenn, Yamato:

......

Nagi:

Unfortunately, it cannot be used for real magic yet. But you can project costumes onto other people. Very well everyone, line up over there please! Let's test it, switch o---

Tenn:

...don't point it at me!

Momo:

Uwah. not over here!

Nagi:

NO! Don't dodge it!

Yamato:

Don't overdo it, it'll turn messy.

Nagi:

OH... You're all so cold. Even though this is the magical girl anime invention of the century...

Momo:

Sorry Nagi! If Momo-chan was 10, I'd totally wanna become a magical girl though! But my bare legs in miniskirts have already been sealed.

Tenn:

Sounds like you have past experience, hm?

Momo:

Life is very colourful after all! Oh well, seems like I have no choice nya~ Is it Doctor Momo's turn now?

Yamato:

What did you do? You're called the most ingenious inventor among us, but all you've ever created was exceptionally weird.

Momo:

Exactly! Trial and error are an inventor's basics! If you praise me this much Momo-chan is gonna blush.

Nagi:

Doctor Momo, very positive.

Momo:

Leave it to me! After all, the first thing I did was a machine to make one positive!

Tenn:

That personality wasn't there from the start?

Momo:

The time in which body and mind can be designed is about to come soon! It seems that devices by beer loving lazy onii-sans have been made secretly before already!

Yamato:

Hahaha, such devices can't be made secretly. Who in the world created it?

Momo:

Secret!

Nagi:

OH... Yamato, maybe...

Yamato:

...?

Momo:

Anyways, tadah!

[TL note: I'm honestly not sure what Momo was trying to say so I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense, idk either]

Tenn:

This is?

Momo:

You see, this is a machine that translates a bed's feelings! I made it for sleepyhead Yuki. I named it "Singing The Bed"!!

Nagi:

The bed sings? Yuki can sleep whenever wherever. I don't think he needs a lullaby.

Momo:

Wrong! This is for waking up!

Momo:

It like tells you how often you turn around in your sleep and when your REM phase is. Or like, if you sweated more in the night than usual.

Yamato:

And you do what knowing all that...?

Momo:

Calculate the timing to wake up.

Nagi:

So, waking up is done manually.

Tenn:

I don't want it to calculate how much I sweat while I sleep.

Yamato:

Whatever, show us already.

Momo:

Okay! There's no bed so let's use a chair. Switch on!

*clicking sound*

Tenn, Momo, Yamato, Nagi:

............

Momo:

Huh?

Yamato:

No good huh.

Nagi:

Your rate of making machines work is at one out of five, right?

Tenn:

The microwave to transfer ghosts you made the other day worked well. It was hard to catch the prey with it and unpopular with the ghost team. But it worked properly.

Momo:

Thanks, Tenn! No worries! I'll make some improvements!

Tamaki:

We're hooome!

Yamato:

Oh, seems like the cleaning team is back.

Nagi:

Iori, Mitsuki, Tamaki, Ryuu! Welcome back, how was the town?

Ryuu:

Thanks, Nagi. Same as always, very peaceful.

Iori:

Yes, as always. Ryuu did work outside of what we're supposed to do, Tamaki didn't pay much attention, Mitsuki got lost.

Tamaki:

I'm starving, isn't there anything to eat? What's this bowl-like machine?

Yamato:

The other way round, you wear it on the head.

Tamaki:

Hmm…

Nagi:

NO! Tamaki! That is the devil's tool!

Tamaki:

Oh... Oohh...!?

Mitsuki:

What are they doing? Ah, Tenn, sorry. Can you look over the sweeper?

Tenn:

What happened?

Mitsuki:

I forgot it in an alley, and it got full of fur, looks clogged up.

Tenn:

Show me. ...you're right. It's really colourful though, what kind of animal is this?

Mitsuki:

That I don't know. I may be wrong, but it was a small mofumofu thing of about this size.

Yamato:

Small mofumofu... like the lovely mascots Iori has attached to his tools?

Iori:

That's what you always attach on to it without my permission. And why only on my tools?

Yamato:

Eh? 'Cause it's cute.

Iori:

It doesn't have to be cute!

Tenn:

A small mofumofu animal. Okay, after looking over this I'll look into that as well.

Mitsuki:

Thanks!

Tamaki:

......

Mitsuki:

Hm? What's wrong? Why do you have a weird thing on your head and are holding a beer?

Tamaki:

Yamato, here's your beer.

Yamato:

Uwah, it actually works.

Nagi:

Jesus. The waves entered his brain so I couldn't stop it anymore...

Iori:

Hey! You're not using our expenses on weird machines again, are you?

Yamato:

Hah, a grand success! Beer sure is delicious.

Tamaki:

Yamato, here's your beer.

Yamato:

What? No, I'm still drinking.

Tamaki:

Yamato, here's your beer.

Yamato:

Wai--- I don't need another---

Tamaki:

Yamato, here's your beer.

Yamato:

......

Tenn:

Take responsibility.

Yamato:

I'm sorry.

Mitsuki:

Anyways, I wanna tell the ghost team about the mofumofu incident as well. Lemme know if you see them.

Nagi:

Speaking of which, they should head out soon.

Momo:

I wonder if we get to hear Gaku's shouting voice again.

Chapter 3 – Capture

{Ainana Corporation - Ghost Team}

Gaku:

Oi, Yuki! Wake up already!!

Yuki:

Zzz... Zzz...

Gaku:

No good. Neither shaking nor tickling, he just won't wake up. Every day the same.

Riku:

Waiting for him to wake up will make us leave late. Let's just go.

Gaku:

No can do. I'm part of the ghost team now too, so I won't tolerate my colleague's relaxed work attitude.

Riku:

Then how about putting a crab in his mouth?

Gaku:

Isn't the direction this is going kinda harsh!?

Sougo:

The day cleaning team has it all together. That's because Mitsuki is their chief.

[TL note: *laughs*]

Riku:

Iori always said that Gaku would be cornered by women and that it would disturb their work.

Yuki:

Gaku was... fired from... the cleaning team...

Gaku:

I wasn't fired! I just changed departments. Yuki, you're finally awake.

Yuki:

Zzz...

Sougo:

Looks like he was sleep talking.

Gaku:

Don't dream weird stuff.

Riku:

No worries Gaku, we still have time. Also, if Yuki sleeps a lot he gets prophetic dreams.

Gaku:

I've heard rumours before but is that true?

Sougo:

It is. He also dreamed that you would join the ghost team.

Gaku:

Really!? ...that's why you weren't surprised when I joined you!? I thought I'd be welcomed more so I was slightly hurt.

Riku:

We were happy! Happy to be working with you and looking forward to it! We celebrated before you joined!

Sougo:

The cake was delicious, right?

Gaku:

Don't leave the main role out.

Yuki:

Mhm...

Sougo, Gaku, Riku:

...

Yuki:

Zzz...

Gaku:

Don't sleep! W-a-k-e u-p... Yuki! .....this little....! ...shit... he's not moving an inch...

Riku:

Ahaha, I feel you! Sleeping Yuki looks so blissful. Eh...? Yes, yes... I see...

Sougo:

Riku?

Riku:

You see, it said to be quiet and wait for him to wake up.

Sougo:

Is someone here again?

Riku:

Yes, since yesterday.

Sougo:

I see. I'm sorry I didn't notice...

Riku:

Sougo, not there. Over there! Next to Gaku!

Gaku:

Huh!? Next to me!? I can't see anything!?

Sougo:

About here? I'm sorry I didn't notice...

Gaku:

Wha-wait, what are you talking about?

Sougo:

Sometimes guests appear. Today there seems to be one next to you.

Gaku:

Guests...? You mean a ghost?

Sougo:

Exactly. Everyone except Riku needs ghost contacts to see weak ghosts.

Riku:

It says it followed Gaku because he was cool.

Sougo:

You're even popular with ghosts. Amazing.

Gaku:

Wait a sec, doesn't that mean there's a ghost that intruded and we need to catch?

Riku:

But it entered through the front door. Riiight?

Sougo:

It has good manners.

Gaku:

It's not a pet! Is it okay to just leave it be? Isn't it our job to catch ghosts?

Sougo:

If it's not one that is evil, we can just wait until our working hours start. Although if we wait until Yuki wakes up, we'll be late, that's for sure.

Sougo:

Today we're supposed to look around AWESOME Street, right? I'll try calling the client and say we're going to be late.

Riku:

Thanks!

Sougo:

Let's see, the number was... Ah, hello? Thank you for always calling us. This is "Ainana Corporation".

Gaku:

Hah, I've got no choice. And hop...

Yuki:

Zzz...

Riku:

Where are you taking Yuki on your shoulders?

Gaku:

Waiting for him to have a prophetic dream is stupid. I'll go to the bath and sprinkle water on him.

Riku:

"And if he still doesn't wake up you soak his head?" it said.

Gaku:

Stop suggesting dangerous ways of waking him up!

Riku:

The one who recommended it was the ghost!

Gaku:

Doesn't that make it actually dangerous!?

Yuki:

...hah... I'm weak... against water... Zzz...

Gaku:

Like I care. Let's go.

Riku:

Ahaha, do your best! ....eh, what what? Yes, yes, I understand. Gaku really is cool, yes. Sougo and Tenn said that due to Gaku becoming a decoy it got easier to catch female ghosts! Eh? A sign? You want Gaku's sign. Okay, I'll ask.

Riku:

But where should he write it on for you?

Sougo:

No way... Not as much as you, president. Too bad! Well then, thank you very much. I look forward to further working with you! Phew...

Riku:

Well done, Sougo. Was it okay?

Sougo:

Yes, but he saw a ghost on the way. Maybe we should hurry.

Riku:

You're good at handling phone calls.

Yuki:

Morning.

Riku, Sougo:

Uwah...!?

Riku:

I'm surprised.

Sougo:

Yuki, you woke up?

Gaku:

Conveniently just before I was about to sprinkle the water, yes.

Sougo:

Why are you soaking wet? Are you a klutz?

Gaku:

When he woke up, he said something weird and startled me...

Yuki:

I had a funny dream.

Riku:

Dream? A prophetic one?

Yuki:

A dream about how we become ghosts on a different planet.

Riku, Sougo, Gaku:

.........

Sougo:

How sinister.

Riku:

We exterminate ghosts, to become ghosts is...

Gaku:

Huh? You're taking it for real?

Sougo:

Let's be careful while working today.

Riku:

Got it!

Gaku:

For real?

Chapter 4 – Operation

Yuki:

Small mofumofu?

Riku:

Like the ones attached to Iori's cleaning tools?

Iori:

As I said, this was Yamato's doing...!

Sougo:

Did you see them too, Tamaki and Ryuu?

Tamaki:

The only one to properly see them was Mitsuki.

Ryuu:

But it seems that the fur on the cleaning tools isn't from any animal you could find in town.

Nagi:

Tenn is looking into it right now.

Yamato:

Well, if we find out something, we'll call you.

Mitsuki:

Sorry. Asking you about things other than ghosts.

Gaku:

Doesn't matter.

Momo:

Okay! Finished confirming the machine's stability. Ghost team, did you put on the ghost contact lenses?

Yuki:

Yup. I have the eye drops too.

Nagi:

Please take care as to not overfill the ghost tanks.

Gaku:

Got it.

Ghost team:

Well, we'll be on our way.

Everyone:

Take care!

Tenn:

Be careful.

***

Female ghost:

Ah, a hottie!

Female ghost:

Kyaa! Onii-san! Won't you fall in a love with me, that'll take your breath away?

Gaku:

Just in time.

Riku:

Gaku being surrounded by ghosts: confirmed.

Yuki:

Alright. Time for a wholesale arrest, just like planned. Sougo, can you do it?

Sougo:

Leave it to me.

*kachan*

Sougo:

You ghost bastards, prepare yourselves! I'll send you flying back to your planet with my machine...!

*machine noise*

Female ghost:

Kyaa! Kyaa!

Female ghost:

We're being sucked in!

Sougo:

Sorry. Meeting me has sealed your fate! Oraaa!! Is this the end already!? Entertain me more!!

Female ghosts:

Kyaaa!

Yuki:

Gaku, are you okay?

Gaku:

Ow ow ow... The prey strategy is all good and stuff, but you've tied me up too strongly.

Gaku:

In any case. Sougo sure does change his personality once he's carrying a weapon, huh...

Riku:

Really cool, right?

Yuki:

Next is your turn, Riku. You can handle the small ghosts.

Riku:

Understood! Everyooone! Good eveniiing!

Child ghost:

Wah, it's onii-san!

Riku:

Lost kids over here! I'll show you the way!

Child ghost:

Yaaay, a warm looking person is here!

Child ghost:

I... lost sight of my mother...

Riku:

Oh, is that so? Don't worry. If you sleep calmly, you'll meet her again for sure!

Riku:

The tank's entrance is here! Enter one after the other, okay?

Ghosts:

Yaaaay!

Gaku:

When Riku calls them the ghost let themselves be caught, huh.

Yuki:

Easy-peasy, right? Alright, I'll go look in the park.

Gaku:

Okay. Then I'll go west from Leopard Street.

Yuki:

Thanks.

***

Former yankee ghost:

Ya gotta be kiddin'! Ya really wanna fight, huh!?

Gaku:

Don't resist!

*machine noise*

Former yankee ghost:

Leeet gooo ooof meee! Yer really---!

Gaku:

Phew... Looks like this one was the last around here...

???:

......

Gaku:

...!?

Gaku:

I feel like I saw something... Over here...?!

Gorilla ghost:

Uho uho! Uho uho uho!

[TL note: what even i7]

Gaku:

...!!

Sougo:

You're cornered.

Gorilla ghost:

Uho!!?

Sougo:

Thought you could run away from me!?

Gorilla ghost:

Uho uho! Uho uho...!!

Gaku:

It's dangerous, Sougo!

Sougo:

And hop! Huh, you're not half bad.

Gorilla ghost:

U-uho...

*gachan*

Sougo:

Don't be scared now, 'kay? You wanna play, don't you? Come on, ghost!

*machine noise*

Gorilla ghost:

Uhohohoho!

Sougo:

I'll send ya flying back to your home planet.

Gaku:

...he looks like he's having fun, isn't he... Guess I'll leave this to him and meet up with Yuki and Riku.

*peeping sound*

Gaku:

Huh, when did this happen? The ghost tank is full already. Even though barely an hour passed since we started...

*peeping sound*

Sougo:

Come at me, you ghosts!

Gaku:

Oh no, Sougo's tank seems to go over its capacity soon too! Sougo! Stop, stop...!

***

Yuki:

Hmm, wait a second.

Riku:

Yuki, are you playing hooky again?

Yuki:

No Riku. The tank says it's full already even though I only caught two or three ghosts...

Riku:

Ah, mine too. Let's send a support signal to the invention team, they'll surely contact us.

Yuki:

Well then, shall we be on standby?

Riku:

Let's! I like standing by!

Yuki:

Me too.

Riku:

Should we play Nanatsuiro Ghost Leg?

Yuki:

What, the thing that was popular when I was young?

*phone rings*

Riku:

Ah, they're calling!

Yuki:

Yamato?

Yamato:

We checked the data you sent us, but nothing's out of the ordinary. Didn't you guys just handle them too roughly?

Yamato:

You gotta be careful with our babies.

Yuki:

I am. Next time raise them to be obedient macho men please. Anyways, once we meet up with Gaku and Sougo we'll head back for the time being.

Yamato:

Got it, we'll get ready. All tanks filling at the same time is unheard of. Onii-san is getting excited.

Tenn's voice:

Take care not to be attacked by ghosts on your way back.

Riku:

Tenn! Thank you!

Yuki:

We have two members that are used as decoys and our weapons seem to be rebellious, but I'll do my best.

*call ends*

Gaku:

Yuki! Riku! Are you okay!?

Riku:

Gaku and Sougo! We're over here! ....uhm. There's a bunch of female ghosts chasing you!

Female ghosts:

Waaait! Hottie onii-san!

Yuki:

Seems like we have to run back...

Chapter 5 – Truth

Riku:

We're baaac---uwah!?

Momo:

Welcome back, gimme that! Did you use guided bullets? Was that the problem?

Nagi:

Let us inspect the other machines too. Come on, hand them out, hurry up!

Yamato:

Everything seems okay with the radar. It must be the adjustment of the absorption.

Yuki:

You look like you're having fun, invention team.

Ryuu:

Gaku, were you okay? We heard your scream though the phone.

Gaku:

W-well.

Tenn:

Is this the full ghost tank?

Sougo:

Yes, this and that one. All four.

Tenn:

I checked them beforehand and they didn't seem to have any problems though. Let's transfer the caught ghosts to the ghost pot first.

Tamaki:

Okay! Riku, Iori, Mitsuki, help me.

Mitsuki:

Sure! Let's carry it to that room first.

Iori:

Please wait. I'll carry Riku's part. The other day you spilled it all over the office, didn't you?

Riku:

Ehehe.

Tenn:

Riku you observe from the side and tell us if there's weird ghosts mixed among the others.

Riku:

Understood!

Tamaki:

And hop. Tank set: okay.

Riku:

Ghost pot and pipe also set: okay.

Mitsuki:

Alright, ghost tank: open!

*peeping sound*

Riku:

One... two... three...

Iori:

The tank being filled with just three is... how many did you catch?

Mitsuki:

Maybe about 100?

Riku:

I don't think there were that many...

Tenn:

Maybe there were ghosts Riku couldn't see. Or you caught a really big one.

Iori:

Will the ghost pot be enough? Maybe we'll have to take it to the storehouse.

Riku:

Hm? Wait a second! ...there are no more ghosts coming out.

Tamaki:

Did they get stuck? Should I shake the tank?

Tenn:

Wait. If you shake too much some ghosts might try to escape. Do it after we call the others from the ghost team...

Riku:

I don't feel that they're evil. Let's try pulling from the pipe.

Iori:

Are you okay touching the ghosts? Our worker's insurance is relentless so please take care!

Mitsuki:

Hm...? H-hachoo! What is this... fur? Ah, this is today's...!

Riku:

...! I pulled it out!

???:

Mimimimimi... mimimimi......

???:

Riririii ririririii.

???:

Ii. Ii ii.

Tenn:

I can see the ghosts even without the contacts...?

Mitsuki:

These things! The ones I saw today! The radar didn't react, I don't think they're ghosts!

???:

Tatata, tata.

???:

Tete. Tetetetete.

Iori:

Small... mofumofu...

Tamaki:

Iori! It's dangerous to stretch out your hand! What if they bite you!

Tenn:

...the ghost pot!

Riku:

Tenn, you're gonna catch them?

Tenn:

Heiya!

*catching sound*

???:

Ii ii...? I...? ii ii!

Tenn:

Caught you!

Tamaki:

Cooool!

Iori:

They're cute but a bit dull. Don't let the others escape!

Mitsuki:

Oryaa! Aight, caught the red one!

Tamaki:

Wait wait, the orange and light blue one are nimble..!!!

Tenn:

Because they got sucked in the tank it said it was full...

Iori:

Maybe they're in the other tanks as well.

Riku:

They can't breathe in the bottle, right... I'll go get a cage!

Tenn:

Riku, while you're at it, call the others too.

***

???:

Ya... ya...

???:

Soo soo, sosoo.

Everyone:

....

Sougo:

So... they're not ghosts?

Yamato:

They all give of a life signal although I still don't get their body structure.

Nagi:

Fantastic! It's as if they're a magical girl's animal sidekick!

???:

Naa... Naanaananananaa.

Nagi:

This one has been singing since before. He's having fun even though he's been caught.

???:

Gaa! Gagagagagaa! Gaa!

Gaku:

This one's really noisy though!?

???:

Yuyu... yu...

Yuki:

Eh? Really low voice.

???:

Ryuu, ryuuryuu.

Ryuu:

Doesn't seem like they're pets that ran off from somewhere...

???:

Momomomo. Momomomo.

Momo:

Wanna try dissecting them?

The ???s:

..........!

The ???s:

~~~!!!

Mitsuki:

Uwah!? They're suddenly acting rough?

Sougo:

Maybe they're trying to escape? You should stop your futile resistance.

Iori:

So-sougo, don't threaten them! We told you they're not ghosts.

???:

Riririi ririririi!

Riku:

I feel like they're trying really hard to talk to us...

Tenn:

Me too, seems like they reacted to Momo's words.

Yuki:

So you mean they understand our language?

Gaku:

That can't be.

???:

Gagaa! Gagagagagaa! Gaa!

???:

Ryuu! Ryuuryuuryuu!

Ryuu:

But doesn't it look like they're all looking at us...?

Tamaki:

Yamato, can't you do something?

Yamato:

What should I do? Don't just shove the problem to the invention team? Well, since we can't do anything anyways... Momo, wanna try the thing from earlier?

Momo:

"Singing The Bed"? I wonder if it'll work properly nya~? We didn't hear anything before.

Nagi:

Maybe the sound was too low. Let's try max volume. If this doesn't work I'll set my magical stick on fire.

The ???s:

~~~!!!

Tenn:

It's just a what if.

Tenn:

We won't roast you whole and eat you. Calm down.

Momo:

Well, if it doesn't work than nothing bad'll happen either. Alright, let's go... Nagi, push the button!

Nagi:

OK! Switch on!

*button sound*

The ???s:

.........

???:

Riririi... ri... a...

???:

Ii... i...elp...

The Cottons:

Please help us!

Everyone:

..............! I heard them.....!

Chapter 6 – Transfer

Riku:

So... you guys really aren't ghosts...

Sougo:

So you came from another planet, yes?

So-Cotton:

Exactly.

[TL note: They're all just called "Cotton", but I'll add the syllable they've been using to know which one is talking]

So-Cotton:

Originally just we "Cotton" were leaving peacefully on our planet but... But one day the "Dust" appeared and turned everything into chaos, so we decided to look for help on other planets.

Tenn:

Interesting, you get the same readings from the improved radar.

Yamato:

Maybe because these Mofumofu are made from stuff that's supposedly not found on earth?

Iori:

If they're called "Cotton" then, are they plants?

Nagi:

No. Although many things stay unclear, it seems their cells and genes are similar to those of animals.

Momo:

Singing The Bed is like a translator after all!

Mo-Cotton:

This planet is similar to the one we live on, so we decided to head for this one. We also confirmed extremely high life forms that are prone to help out in times of trouble.

Ryuu:

Amazing! They even know that.

Nagi:

The Cottons seem to be all looking at you though, Ryuu.

Na-Cotton:

We are very much in trouble! Would it be possible for you to lend us a helping hand in getting rid of the "Dust"?!

Ryuu:

Wh-what should we do? Now I wanna help them...

Tamaki:

There it is. The usual.

Yuki:

"Prone to help out in trouble", accurate.

Mitsuki:

Hmm... Well it's true we specialize in cleaning, but how do we get to your planet? On earth, only chosen ones can get on spaceships and rockets and stuff.

Iori:

Ainana Corporation doesn't have the funds to charter a rocket. Not to mention volunteering...

I-Cotton:
If we form an "alliance", you can transfer to the colony as "Mofumofu".

Tamaki:

"Alliance?" "Mofumofu?" What do you mean?

Gaku:

Alright, if that's the way to go then let's try it out.

Ga-Cotton:

Understood!

Yamato:

Oi oi. It's not like we decided to do it alrea---

Ya-Cotton:

Well then, please excuse me. "Alliance"!

Gaku:

Huh!? Uwah...

Ryuu:

H-h-h-he, he entered his body!?

Nagi:

Amazing!! Magical Sidekick Moving!!

Yuki:

...aren't... like your chests getting warmer...?

Yamato:

And aren't our bodies starting to glow!?

Tamaki:

What is this!? Isn't this bad!?

Everyone:

U-Uwaaahhhhhhhh!!

[TL note: The little Mofumofu sprites are all moving and wobbling slightly.]

Momo:

We're mofumofuing...!!

Riku:

What! What!?

Tenn:

No.

Yamato:

Oi!? Tenn, are you okay!? I understand wanting to faint but get a grip of yourself!!

Iori, blushing:

This... Mofumofu...

Mitsuki:

Iori! You're looking like the others too!?

Sougo:

What is this...

So-Cotton:

Riku:

Ah! I hear a voice inside of my head!!

Yamato:

This isn't an "Alliance" but a "Fusion", couldn't you have explained it like that? Then I would've refused.

Iori:

Sounds like we made a promise. Maybe they did it on purpose...

Tenn:

Representative, take responsibility.

Gaku:

It's my fault!? Oi, turn us back temporarily please.

Ga-Cotton:

Yamato:

I had a bad feeling it wouldn’t be that simple...

Tamaki:

Eh, what? What does this mean?

Sougo:

Basically, we need to go to their planet and solve their problem if we want to return to our original forms, Tamaki.

Momo:

A somewhat scam-y modus operandi~!

Mitsuki:

Cowards! Let us help you more comfortably!

Mi-Cotton:

Ryuu:

R-right...

Nagi:

Ryuu is kind even when being tricked. How envious.

Yuki:

Well, since we're like this already we should just help them, right?

Yu-Cotton:

Yu-Cotton:

Mitsuki:

That's why I saw you there today. It's not too far away, but won't it be trouble if we head out like this?

Sougo:

There's not many people out at night. And even if we're seen, they'll probably just mistake us for ghosts.

Nagi:

This form is very impractical, but I want to be ready when subjugating the "Dust".

Tamaki:

Yes, isn't there any other information?

Yuki:

Ah... water...?

Momo:

Water?

Yuki:

Yes, saw it in my dream.

Gaku:

Oh, maybe they're weak to water or something.

Ga-Cotton:

<Exactly, their weak point is water. But because they move so quickly, we Cotton can't fight them.>

Yamato:

Water huh... if their planet is like ours, can't we just use our tools?

Nagi:

OH... I hope the machines don't break...

Tenn:

Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about that. Let's just get it over with.

Momo:

Alright! Then give us 10... no, our hands are mofumofu so, give us 30 minutes! We'll show you the invention team's force!

Tamaki:

Then I'll go ready some snacks!

Mitsuki:

Wait! Can we even digest food in this form!?

Iori:

Let us search for something useful as well. Ryuu, let's head to the storehouse.

Ryuu:

Alright! I know it's not the time for this, but I'm excited to go to another planet.

Yuki:

Then I'll store up sleep now...

Gaku:

Don't sleep! We gotta carry and use what the invention team is making right now, we have to be ready for later!

Sougo:

New weapons huh... My heart is beating fast... Leave it to me.

Riku:

Alright! Let's get ready and then we'll head to the Cottons' planet!

Chapter 7 – Leading around by the nose

Momo:

SILVER Street's manhole is here, right?

Mitsuki:

Aight! Let's go, everyone! Jump down!

Riku:

One, two... go!

Ryuu:

Go!

Tamaki:

Go!

Nagi:

Wow!

Yamato:

Wah!

Sougo:

Wah!

Iori:

We're falling!

Yuki:

Or climbing!?

Gaku:

What a strange space!

Tenn:

...!? I can see something!?

Everyone:

Wahhhhh!

***

Riku:

This is... the Cottons' colony?

Ryuu:

It does look like our world but, somewhat, really ruined...

Ryuu-Cotton:

<Yes, this is Colony 17, Joker District.>

Ryuu-Cotton:

Gaku:

So, it was their doing...

Mitsuki:

We can take care of the scribbles, but we probably should get rid of the Dusts first.

Sougo:

Exactly. Where are the Dusts Should I ready my weapons?

Nagi:

Sougo wants to go at it already, huh?

Na-Cotton:

<Shh! Silent...! I feel the Dusts being here, but something is different...? Over there! Please hide!>

Everyone:

...!

???:

I... i...

???:

Ni ni ni.... ni ni ni...

???:

I...!

???:

Why can we move so freely suddenly? Let's do more stuff!

Cottons:

~~~~!!!

Everyone:

......

Mitsuki:

Damn. They look like really bad guys.

Tamaki:

That's what you call straying from the right path. I've heard about it.

Iori:

But why do they look the same as us?

I-Cotton:

<...!? The Dusts transformed into "Evilmofu"! Why? Did other earth people get into the colony and form an alliance with them?>

Gaku:

What, you guys don't understand it either?

Ga-Cotton:

Tenn:

A miracle huh...

Te-Cotton:

Iori:

This body is mofumofu.... I'm... a mofumofu body...

Ryuu:

Ah, look! Over there!

???:

Yo yo yo... Nom nom. The caramel of this pudding is the best! Yo yo yo... Nom nom. The parts without caramel I throw away!

Tamaki:

That guy only eats the caramel parts of the pudding! He's going for the next!!

???:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ie yo NO DOUBT~!!

Sougo:

That one is singing NO DOUBT out of tune and drawing a terrifying scribble...

???:

Ro ro ro... Kashikashi, poi. Kashikashi, poi. I'll look around the blind goods. I found the winner, let's take it!

Nagi:

Jesus!! He's looking around the blind goods and conducting a search...! Unfooooooooooooooooorgiven!!!

Yamato:

Conducting what...?

Tamaki, Sougo, Nagi:

Unforgivable!!

So-Cotton:

Tenn:

Evil of our hearts?

Riku:

You mean the fluffy stuff that's always around us?

Tenn:

Riku, you can see that?

Riku:

Yes, on earth we all have fluffy foggy stuff stuck to us. Sometimes one even inhales that. And now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen it once we arrived here.

Tenn:

So that’s what it was?

Te-Cotton:

Te-Cotton:

Riku:

I see...

Tamaki:

You wanna say there's a part in me that eats pudding as shabbily as that!? I will never eat like that until I die!

Nagi:

As do I, I swear to god that I will not fall for such despicable things as conduct searches on blind goods like that!

Na-Cotton:

Mitsuki:

I think I kinda understand that...

Momo:

Yeah sometimes you just end up thinking about the things you hate...

Sougo:

It's convenient for kicking though. I gotta make sure to smash it to atoms as to not bring it back to earth. Charge, on!

*Gasha!*

Momo:

Wait a sec! That they turned evil was kind of our fault, don't you feel bad for them!?

Ryuu:

Let's try to convince them to stop first!

Sougo:

Well if you say so...

Yamato:

'Kay, Yuki, your turn.

Yuki:

Mine?

Yamato:

The persuasive loudspeaker that was given to you is equipped with Momo's Mind Design System. When calling to someone with this, compared to one's normal voice, you can convince someone 122.4 times more easily.

Yuki:

I see. ..."From today onwards, Yamato will..."

Yamato:

Don't use it on me!!

Yuki:

I'm kidding.

Yamato:

By the way, if you don't boot it up with "Wake me up lovely heart!" using an ikemen voice, the success rate will go down.

Yuki:

Is that what you're into? Alright... Ah, ah. ....ahem.

Yuki:

"Wake me up lovely heart! Uhm, you Evilmofu over theeere."

???:

...?

Yuki:

"Don't go around making chaos anymore. Also, you put a way too high level of professionalism into this amateur work. And don't act like you're on a one-on-one fight at dusk pleeease!"

???:

............

???:

Nana! Nananana!

???:

Ku!? ...ku ku ku!

???:

Ya!

???:

Don't wanna don't wanna!! We heard what you said, we're called Evilmofu. We're gonna bully the Mofumofu even more! Evilmofu love evil things!

Nagi:

Resistance... no, they're rebellious.

Iori:

It seems like there was an effect, but they don't seem to listen to what we said. Maybe just warning them will be difficult... ...!?

Tamaki:

Shit!! I won't forgive them!

Ryuu:

Tamaki!? What are you doing, stop!

Tamaki:

Let go, Ryuu! At least... at least lemme mourn for the pudding!!

Nagi:

Please stop, Tamaki!! Do you intend to pick it up and eat it!?

Tamaki:

If it's me, I can do it!! Uh... the innocent pudding... those guys... those guys!!

Sougo:

Calm down, Tamaki! The pudding on the floor... all the puddings... ...they're already dead...

Tamaki:

Uwaaaahhhhh!! Noooooooo----!! The parts that... the pudding parts that don't have carameeeeeeeeeeel!!!

Gaku:

...what an intense performance...

Tenn:

Looks like it ended.

Gaku:

Anyways, let's get things done. Alright. Hey you guys, assemble! Let's hold a strategic meeting!

Yamato:

We have to convince the Evilmofu. And if the persuasive loudspeakers don't work, then we have to think of something else.

Sougo:

Eliminating them would be easy. They're weak to water, right? That's why we have these weapons...

Ryuu:

We have to talk to them somehow first. I know, how about we catch them?

Mitsuki:

Great idea, if they can't do what they want anymore, they may listen!

Tenn:

Maybe that'll make them calm down too.

Tamaki:

Okay let's go! I won't... let the puddings' deaths be in vain!!

Riku:

Then let's catch the Evilmofu to make them listen to us!

Everyone:

Yeah!!

Chapter 8 – Cleaning

???:

Tsu... tsu tsu tsu... Let's play pranks!

???:

Moo! Moo moo! I love bad things!

???:

Ki ki ki ki... Bad things are fun!

Tenn:

It seems like the Evilmofu have taken a liking to doing bad things.

Riku:

As planned, if we hide for a bit, they'll start letting their guard down!

Gaku:

Are you guys ready? Then all according to keikaku, let's divide in four teams!

[TL note: keikaku means plan]

Iori:

Teams 1, 2 and 3, chase the Evilmofu and lead them to team 4.

Iori:

Lead them to the capture dome.

Yamato:

Don't do anything reckless. Let's get back to earth safely!

Everyone:

Yeah!

Yuki:

Well then...

Everyone:

Let's start!!

***

Mitsuki:

Team 1, let's start defending the surroundings of Joker District!

Momo:

You can use the Mofumofu Radar I gave you to scan near Evilmofu.

Yuki:

Once they come closer, Momo and I will encircle and lead them to the next district.

Mitsuki:

Got it! I can find the Evilmofu with this.

Momo:

To boot it up you gotta yell "Sweet Orange Radar".

Mitsuki:

Understood! "Sweet Orange Radar!"! And? ...ah!! Momo! Evilmofu from 4 o'clock!!

???:

Moo! Moo!

Mitsuki:

They're running around like mad dogs! Take care!!

Momo:

You can only act like that if you're protecting someone important! Take that! Corkscrew Blow!

Momo:

Teya! Teyateyateya!!

???:

Moo! Moo! Moo!

Momo:

Alright!

Yuki:

Seems like it worked. Nice, Momo.

Momo:

Yaaaay!

Mitsuki:

This side looks okay now, let's go to the west!

Yuki, Momo:

Got it!

Yamato:

We, Team 2, and Team 3 split up between north and south and will run around the city to encircle and lead the Evilmofu.

Sougo:

OK! We have the southern part, right?

Tamaki:

Leave it to me!

Yamato:

...over there! First of all, closing the way with this crossbow.

???:

Ni...! Ni ni ni ni...!?

Tamaki:

Well done Yamato!

Sougo:

We can't lose either.

*Gachan*

Sougo:

Come at me, evil brats! On The Rock Gatling!

Tamaki:

...as always you don't hold back, huh? Okay, then me too! Take this! Pudding Assault Rifle!!

???:

O!? O, o, o!? O!!

Tamaki:

Awesome! They're running to the right direction!

Sougo:

Let's go after them and make sure they get to the capture dome!

Yamato: Yeah!

***

Nagi:

Team 3 will chase them from the north too!

Iori:

Yes!

Nagi:

Our inventions are howling!

Nagi:

First, this magical hammer! With powerful might it cuts off the Evilmofu's retreat! BOM! BOM!

???:

Ro...! Ro ro ro ro ro...!?

Iori:

Oh no you're not going anywhere! If you don't want to be watered by this shower you’ll proceed to the opposite direction! Cool Sharp Shower!!

???:

I...! I i i i...!?

Riku:

As expected of you two! I'll gently get to the kids who resist with this vacuum cleaner! Miracle Seven Sweeper!

???:

Na, na, na nana...!?

Iori:

You did it, Riku!

Riku:

Yes! This machine is amazing, right Nagi?

Nagi:

Leave it to me! Let's continue like this!

Riku:

Understood!

Iori:

Now we have to leave the rest to Team 4 at the dome!

***

Tenn:

Our job is to put the Evilmofu that come running into this transparent capture dome, right?

Gaku:

Let's do it!

Ryuu:

Leave it to me!

Tenn:

They're here!

Gaku:

Take this! Dual Handgun!

???:

Ya!? Yaaa!!

Ryuu:

Oh, what power! Reminds me of the times when you were in the Cleaning Team with me!

Gaku:

Show me your brave side too, Ryuu! They went over there!

Ryuu:

Understood!

Ryuu:

Don't fight back too much. I don't want to hurt you...

???:

Tsu tsu tsu...!?

Ryuu:

Blue Wave Deck Brush!

???:

Tsu!? Tsu tsu...!?

Tenn:

Excellently done.

Ryuu:

Tenn! That one is the last!

Tenn:

Understood. Don't run away. Angel Bazooka!

???:

Ku!? Kuu! Ku ku!?

Ryuu:

We did it!

Gaku:

Seems like we caught everyone now!

Tenn:

Phew... My my. The problem remains: how do we convince them?

Gaku:

Let's think about it with the others. Let's assemble!

Ryuu:

Yes, you're right!

Chapter 9 – Good-bye

Riku:

I kinda got used to this form.

Tamaki:

I know right?

Yamato:

We don't have time for this, what about the Evilmofu?

Nagi:

Trapped inside the transparent glass dome. We're still trying to convince them, but they don't seem to answer.

Yuki:

"Evilmofu, stop the futile resistance and stop dirtying the town pleeeease."

???:

Don't wannaaa!

???:

We're not gonna listen to you!

???:

Not listening!

*noisy noisy*

Tenn:

...seems like they're running wild inside.

Iori:

They're not listening at all and are doing what they want.

Yuki:

I feel tired suddenly...

Gaku:

Don't sleep, Yuki! It's your time to shine!

Yamato:

However, even if you use the persuasive loudspeaker and they’ll listen to you, it may only be temporary.

Nagi:

Indeed, if you use a machine to change them to be good, in the end that's just brainwashing. I would prefer it if they themselves would overthink their actions.

Riku:

...I may have come up with a great idea!

Tamaki:

Oh! What is it?

Riku:

I'll need the help of the cleaning team...

Mitsuki:

Leave it to us. If there's something we can do we'll do it!

Riku:

Thanks! Then, everyone gather up! Well...

***

*noisy noisy*

???:

It's almost morning again.

???:

It's been a while since they stopped trying to convince us. Do they plan on leaving us inside here?

???:

Hmph! The party's about to start. We'll just crush this dome!

*gacha*

???:

Look, over here!

???:

The dome's door opened on its own! You guys, let's get out!

???:

Yaaaaay!!

???:

...t-this is...!

???:

The town is all clean!?

???:

Shit! Even though we made it easier to live in!

???:

You've gotta be kidding!

???:

We can make this dirty quickly again!

???:

Let's do it guys!

???:

Yaaaaay!! ...huh!?

???:

This picture...

???:

A picture of us Evilmofu... and the Mofumofu... getting along...

???:

Here too! Did... the Mofumofu draw these...?

???:

Tch... I wanted to scribble over there but they got to it first!

???:

You guys, let's destroy this!

???:

...

???:

What's wrong, let's do it!

???:

You do it here... I'll go over there...

???:

Wha...!?

???:

Dirtying over there seems easier so I'll go too. Running wild isn't so easy either, my my.

???:

...w-wait! I wanna do it over there now too...!

The Evilmofu:

Y-yaaaaay!

The Evilmofu:

...

???:

It's clean and pretty around here too...

???:

They cleaned this much? We ran wild so much; it must've been hard to clean everything.

The Evilmofu:

...

Mitsuki:

Morning! You guys noticed it too!?

The Evilmofu:

...!!

Mitsuki:

It feels good when the town's clean, right?

Mitsuki:

We specialize in cleaning, you know! How was the picture we drew on the wall? Did you like it?

???:

Th-there's no way we'd like it! We're totally not happy at all!

???:

Yes! And I'm totally not thinking that I don't wanna dirty that picture or anything!

Tamaki:

Huh!? But it's so well drawn! It's suuuper cute! Look at it more closely!

Ryuu:

Hey Tamaki, don't threaten them. We thought that we could get along with you, like on this drawing.

Iori:

Can't we listen to your honest feelings?

The Evilmofu:

...

???:

I'm... okay with not dirtying stuff anymore too...

???:

Y-you!?

???:

Running wild everyday is tiring... we could take it easy for a while...

???:

W-well, if it's just for a while...

???:

Then, me too...

Tamaki:

Mh.

???:

...!?

Tamaki:

The pudding parts without caramel are good too. Try it.

???:

...nom nom... Whoa you're right...

Tamaki:

See?

Ri-Cotton:

<Evilmofu-san...>

Riku:

Ah, the Cotton inside of me started talking.

Ri-Cotton:

???:

...i-if it's just for a while then okay...

Everyone:

Waaahhhh!!

Mitsuki:

Thank god!

Yamato:

Which means you guys made up, huh?

???:

J-just for a while okay!?

Gaku:

Got it got it. A while is progress too! You're all okay with this, right?

The Evilmofu:

...it's okay...

Mitsuki:

We did it!!

Ryuu:

You could all make up! How nice!

Nagi:

Case closed!

Yuki:

Zzz... Zzz...

Gaku:

Don't sleep at the best part!

Yuki:

Huh. I had a funny dream.

Sougo:

Eh, now?

Riku:

What kinda dream?

Yuki:

A dream about how the manhole with the warp zone closes in 3 minutes and we can't return home anymore.

Everyone:

Ehhhhh!?

Yuki:

Zzz... Zzz...

Gaku:

What!? Wake up!! We'll leave you behind!?

Yamato:

What does this mean!?

Ya-Cotton:

Mitsuki:

Why didn't you tell us about something this important?

Mi-Cotton:

<It's not like we had bad intentions... it just feels so nice when we are in an alliance, so it was hard for us to let go... It was hard to say, we were troubled too.>

Ryuu:

...then we have no other choice...

Mitsuki:

Ryuu! Don't be moved!

Iori:

If we don't return, we'll stay forever in this form!? I-in this... mofumofu...

Tamaki:

Oi, Iori! Don't even think about it! We're going all back home to the corporation!

Yamato:

Once we get back, onii-san will make you a mofumofu replica body pillow, okay?

Iori:

I-i don't need it!

Sougo:

Do we really have the time to chitchat like this? Shouldn't we hurry?

Ryuu:

Right! We don't! Let's hurry up! ...wait, Nagi, Momo! What are you doing!?

Nagi:

Collecting some samples of the colony's atmosphere and soil.

Momo:

We may not be able to come a second time!!

Tenn:

If we don't make it back, all the earth's substances are what will become rare. Give it up.

Nagi, Momo:

Nooo!!

Mitsuki:

Crying won't help! Ryuu, carry them!

Ryuu:

Got it!

Sougo:

The manhole is over here! 15 seconds left!

Gaku:

What is the Invention Team doing? They won't make it on time...!

Riku:

Hurry hurry!!

Ri-Cotton:

<Farewell, everyone from Ainana Corporation. We shan't forget this kindness.>

Riku:

...! Me neither! It was really fun!

Yamato:

Don't look back, Riku!

Gaku:

Let's jump into the warp zone!!

Ga-Cotton:

"Alliance Release"!!

Everyone:

Uwaahhhhh!!

Chapter 10 – Monster

Riku:

I'm home!!

Tamaki:

Hah... that was tough... I'm starving...

Mitsuki:

TV... Ah, it's the music show like every morning.

Ryuu:

It's a happy song, isn't it? Being back in this daily life seemed like a dream just recently.

Iori:

I would've never thought we would be caught up in something mysterious like this. We weren't insured for this so I'm glad everyone is unharmed.

Sougo:

Are Momo and Nagi still crying?

Momo:

But...! There were so many weird machines and we couldn't take any of them home!

Nagi:

If we could've just taken two or three Cotton and Dust with us!

Yamato:

We didn't have the time for that. And this is better than spending the rest of your life as a Mofumofu.

Nagi:

Yamato you lack the right spirit of a scientist! We have to teach you anew!

Momo:

Tenn you think the same, right!?

Tenn:

I do.

Nagi, Momo:

Seeeee!

Tenn:

But. You had more than enough time to collect substances from the colony. You both lack the right self-awareness of a scientist as well.

Nagi, Momo:

Th-that's...

Yamato:

Water, soil, stones. plants, air, samples of buildings, fur of the Cotton, the pudding parts without caramel...

Tenn:

See?

Momo:

Tenn! So cool! Ikemen!!

Nagi:

With just this, I can stay in the lab for years! There will be several valuable discoveries!

Yamato:

When did he collect all of this? What a cunning guy.

Tenn:

That's because the leader is unreliable.

Yamato:

To me everyone's lives is the most important thing.

Tenn:

I don't dislike that part of you.

Invention Team:

Let's go to the lab, goo!!

Ryuu:

Haha, how lively. But it really feels like we're back.

Mitsuki:

After cleaning the machines I'll take a break too. I'm tired from all the running.

Tamaki:

I wanna sleep too, but I'm kinda wide-awake.

Ryuu:

I feel you! Seems like Yuki is sleeping soundly though.

Yuki:

Zzz... Zzz...

Gaku:

This guy already slept at the colony.

Mitsuki:

But thanks to his prophecy we made it in time. All's well that ends well.

Riku:

I'm glad I went with everyone to the colony. No matter what trouble we were in, I thought everything would be okay.

Sougo:

Yes, I think we wouldn't have been able to solve this on our own.

Riku:

Exactly! If we work together, we can even solve problems on a different planet! I'm glad I'm with Ainana Corporation!

Mitsuki:

Me too! All teams did well! Shall we help an alien next time?

Iori:

I have a feeling we wouldn't get paid then...

Ryuu:

Isn't that okay once in a while? If we do our best and make people happy, then that makes us happy too, right!

Gaku:

Yes. Next time we go to a planet somewhere... we may become idols.

Riku:

That sounds really nice!

TV announcer:

Well then, the next song! A song that'll help you wake up in the morning! IDOLiSH7 with "MONSTER GENERATiON"!

{Credits start rolling while MonGen plays.}
