[food sizzling]

[TV anchor]

An advisory conference was held

to discuss the

furthered expansion

of cashless payment methods

to various small and family

businesses.

The event was organized

and sponsored by the "Cashless

Payment Promotion Committee,"

which was founded

by 10 companies

that offer such

cashless payment services.

Over 200 individuals who

represented small and-

Ow, ow, ow.

[Ganta] That's what you get for

falling asleep on the sofa.

[TV anchor] Regarding

the merits of the services-

Good morning, Ganta.

Good morning.

[TV Anchor] A representative

from the committee said the

conference was met

with much enthusiasm.

[bike gears clicking]

-Hey.

-What's going on, man?

Hey, listen

[students chattering]

[Anamizu] Surprise!

Goochie, goochie, goo!

[Isaki laughing]

Jeez. How can you guys have

so much energy

this early in the morning?

[angelic music ringing]

[Ganta gasps]

[pleasant music]

Huh?

[pleasant music continues]

[cell notification pops]

[Ganta] I gave it some thought

and I don't think we

should directly talk

with each other outside

the observatory.

The two of us haven't really

interacted in class before.

The change would be too sudden.

You'll make your friends

wonder what happened.

[Isaki sighs]

[Isaki] Can't I just tell

people that we became friends?

[Ganta] No.

You still want to keep it a

secret from everyone, right?

The observatory.

And the fact you have insomnia.

[Isaki gasping]

[notification pops]

[Ganta gasps]

[GOOD POINT.]

[ROGER!]

[Isaki grunts]

[Ganta sighing]

Hey, Isaki,

what's with the pose?

Uh, well, it's just

a chop!

[Kanikawa groaning]

[Kanikawa] Ugh!

You totally ruined my bangs!

[Isaki] Sorry.

[opening theme]

[basketball thudding]

[Isaki]

You're coming today, right?

[Ganta] That's the plan.

[Isaki]

We finished organizing things,

so the next step

is cleaning up.

[GET IT DONE!]

Gotcha!

[Kanikawa groans]

Out of bounds!

Seriously?

I totally thought I had that.

[Anamizu grunting]

[Ganta]

I don't mind cleaning up,

but after that, let's

renovate the observatory.

I want to make it more comfy.

So that we're not just

sleeping on the floor.

[Isaki] Sounds good.

I'll bring some stuff

from home tomorrow.

[Ganta] What kind of stuff?

Yeah!

-Three to one!

-[Isaki] Stuff that'll make

things comfy. And help

us get some sleep.

Lying on those boxes isn't

good on the back, you know?

[Ganta]

That would be a huge help.

[Anamizu shouts]

[Anamizu] Whamo!

[others gasp]

[both] Oh.

You hit it way over there,

meathead!

Sorry!

[Ganta] I'll look through my

house

for some unused pillows

and blankets too.

Get it done, number two!

[I'M COUNTING ON YOU]

"Number two"?

Huh.

Ganta?

What?

[cat meowing]

-[student] Later!

-Yeah, see you tomorrow.

What the heck is all this?

Stuff to help us fall asleep.

Are you kidding?

I mean, just look at

these, for example.

It's junk that was collecting

dust at your house!

Oh, don't be silly.

Check this out.

[soft rock music]

It plays music and dances.

So, like, I was reading

this book a while ago,

and it said one reason

people struggle to sleep

is because their brains

don't recognize their bedroom

as a comforting environment.

[Ganta gasps]

[chimes ringing]

[soft rock music continues]

This'll help us relax.

[Ganta chuckles]

Feels more like being at

a rowdy party than relaxing.

Oh, good point.

But it looks like we're

still gonna be stuck sleeping

on the floor, huh?

I brought some

cushions from home

thinking they might

make decent pillows.

You want to

try bringing in a mat

or something from the gym?

We'd definitely get in trouble

if we didn't ask permission.

Mm

What else can we do?

Good question.

[bluesy bass music]

[Hakui] On your marks.

Get set.

[whistle blowing]

[teacher]

"With nothing better to do,

I face the inkstone from

dawn to dusk."

[Anazima] Do you think

that cat's a stray?

Hmm I'm not sure.

Nono is saying that she saw it

go into the house next

to the bento shop once.

So maybe the owners

just let it run free.

I wonder what its name is.

It's got a bunch

of different names.

I heard Nurse Kurashiki call

it "friggin' cat" the other day.

"Friggin'"?

[Isaki laughing]

Yeah, it stole the lettuce

from the sandwich that she

was planning to eat for lunch.

Well, that's an awful

name to give a cat.

[Isaki] There's also "Teensy,"

"Dude," "Mochi," "Bobo"?

Cut it out!

Fine.

Come on, you slackers.

Let's get to work.

[easygoing music]

[Kanikawa sighs]

Why do we have to

do a presentation

on local history and culture?

What's even the point, anyway?

All you ever do

is complain, Kani.

Well, I think researching

in a library

is more fun

than just attending class.

[thud]

[Ganta grunts]

[girls] Huh?

Loser.

[Nono laughing]

[Ganta groaning]

[LIBRARY]

[schoolbell ringing]

[Ganta sighing]

[Ganta gasps]

[Ganta] Isaki.

Uh Huh?

Over here.

[Isaki gasps]

Is your forehead okay

from that fall earlier?

There's something

more important.

I can't explain.

Just come with me.

[Isaki, whispering]

What, right now?

[Ganta]

Fine, after school, then.

Okay, sounds good.

Isaki?

[Isaki gasps]

[Anamizu] Let's head back.

'Kay.

[Ganta sighs]

[FOR GARBAGE PICKUP]

[Isaki gasping]

Wow!

This would change everything!

We won't have to sleep

on the hard floor anymore.

But they're coming to

pick these up tomorrow.

So today is our only chance

to nab one.

[Both] Gimme, gimme,

gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

[whimsical music]

[Isaki] Think it's heavy?

[Ganta] I'm not sure.

Wanna try lifting it?

[both grunting]

All of a sudden, I'm starting to

feel super guilty about this!

It's too late to turn back now!

[Ganta] I've never been the type

to pull crazy stunts like this.

[Isaki] Just a little farther

and we're in the clear, Number-

[Ganta]

Don't call me number two!

[both panting]

[Isaki] I'm exhausted.

My arms feel

like they're gonna fall off.

[Isaki grunts]

[Ganta sighs]

[both] Rock, paper,

scissors, sh**t.

[bell dinging]

[Ganta groaning]

[pleasant music]

[Isaki] Ohh

This is some high-grade

leather here.

Wow, you know about that stuff?

No, I just wanted to say that.

[Ganta groans]

Up we go.

Having a footrest would be nice.

A footrest, huh?

Something about the

size of a vaulting box.

Maybe this could work.

[Isaki giggles]

[Isaki] Perfect.

That's so not cool!

[Isaki giggles]

Sorry, my b.

[door creaking]

[both gasp]

Listen, did someone

just open the door?

Let's hide.

Who could it be?

I have no clue.

I just hope it isn't

one of the teachers.

[tapping]

Think it's a ghost?

[Ganta gasps]

[cat meows]

[Ganta laughs]

[sighs]

[Isaki gasps]

[Isaki] That cat came

to play with us!

Hello, kitty!

Oh

Nap time, I guess.

[Isaki giggles]

[Ganta sighs]

Cats are the grandmasters

of falling asleep.

Sometimes all the hustle

and bustle is annoying.

You want to be a part

of our society?

Okay, you're Twosie!

Huh? Twosie?

That's his name now.

He's the second member of the

Nightly Fun Society,

so he's Twosie!

What? But I thought

I was number two!

[Isaki] Yeah, but "two"

sounds more like "mew,"

which is a sound that

a cat makes.

You can be number three.

[Ganta] I'm lower on

the totem pole than a cat?

[Twosie meows]

[pleasant music]

[EPISODE 2: UPSILON AND LAMBDA

SCORPII] [THE CAT'S EYES]

[keyboard clacking]

[Kurashiki sighs]

[Isaki] Those weapons?

I thought I'd fix the

observatory doorknob with these.

You can do that?

It sucks worrying if the door

might accidentally lock

all the time, right?

[excited gasp]

The doorknob will work again!

The doorknob will

work again!

Got a real knack for

mechanical stuff, huh?

So cool!

I wouldn't say I have

a knack for it,

but fixing a doorknob is easy.

[Isaki] All right. Then I'll

come check it out

after club activities.

You're in the Swimming Club,

right?

Yup, but all we're

doing is strength training

until the pool opens up.

Have you picked out

which club to join?

Not really, I don't know.

And seeing how

it's already June,

it feels like I'm too late.

[soft melodic music]

[soft melodic percussive music]

[lock clicking]

[door creaking]

[Ganta grunting]

[Isaki giggles]

Hm?

[Ganta yelps]

Thank God it's only you.

You freaked me out.

Hm?

Hm.

Is this lettuce?

[Ganta gasping]

I wonder what flavor

ice cream Ganta likes.

I'll have to ask him once

I get to the observatory.

Mr. Nakami, what exactly

are you doing here?

[soft music]

Ah! Nurse Kurashiki,

please don't!

Just a wait a second!

Please!

[Kurashiki gasps]

[Kurashiki] This place had

been turned into a warehouse.

So, are you the one

responsible for all this?

It was me.

I did everything all by myself.

Thanks for fixing the door!

I bought some ice cream!

I couldn't decide between

vanilla and matcha,

but vanilla is the safe choi-

Have you two

been having sex in here?

[Ganta and Isaki] What?!

NO WAY!

All right.

Then how do you explain this?

[Ganta] This is the one and

only place

where we rest without anyone

knowing about our insomnia.

It's a problem we didn't

want people to know about,

so we couldn't ask for help.

But there was no way to

manage the burden alone

until we came across this place.

Please, I know this is

a selfish request,

but let us stay here!

I was the one who

originally found this place

and then invited Ganta

to join me.

I'm the one to blame!

So, please.

You're right.

This really is a

pretty great hideout.

However, I'm still a

teacher at this school.

And now that I've seen this,

I have to report it to the

school and your parents.

Telescopes like this don't

come cheap, you know?

The teaching staff have

actually been discussing

taking a more proactive approach

to using the observatory lately.

Expensive machines

like this break down

if they don't get used

from time to time.

In that case, can I become a

member of the Astronomy Club?

[Isaki gasps]

[soft music]

You want to avoid getting

kicked out of here

by joining the Astronomy Club?

Are you serious about that,

Mr. Nakami?

[Ganta grunts]

I'll talk with admin

and decide tomorrow.

[somber piano music]

[Isaki] Here's your ice cream.

It melted.

I'm sorry.

Couldn't do a damn thing.

I'm sorry.

[Isaki] That's not true.

[Ganta] Well, let's clean

this place up tomorrow.

[Isaki sobbing]

-[announcer] Class 1-1

-[Kanikawa] It was a riot,

-Ganta Nakami

-I'm telling you!

and Isaki Magari,

please come to the front

office immediately.

What's the deal, Isaki?

You in trouble?

That's ridiculous.

Anyway, I'll be back soon.

[announcer] Please come to

the front office immediately.

[girl 1] They're totally gonna

get yelled at by a teacher.

[girl 2] Yikes.

[girl 3] Let's ask

for the deets later.

[Ganta sighs]

[STAFF ROOM]

[resolute sigh]

[Ganta] Excuse us!

[Hakui] Ah, you're here.

[both sigh]

Nurse Kurashiki told

us everything.

Ganta Nakami, Isaki Magari,

you two are officially

going to be

members of the Astronomy Club!

[both] Huh?!

Honestly, the timing

couldn't have been better,

right, Mrs. Vice Principal?

[Vice Principal]

Absolutely, Mr. Hakui.

There's been some

concern that letting

such a well-equipped observatory

go to waste would reflect

poorly on our reputation.

We're named a

Super Science High School

by the government, you know?

Gosh, it's just so great

you kids showed interest

in the Astronomy Club.

Also, Nurse Kurashiki agreed

to serve as your advisor.

[upbeat music]

[Kurashiki grunts]

You sure hit the jackpot!

Man, do I wish

I were you right now.

Oh, and Isaki can still

be in the Swimming Club.

[both sigh]

[both] Thank you so much!

[VP] You know, there have

been some dreadful rumors

going around about the

ghost of a dead student

haunting the observatory.

That was actually causing

a lot of trouble for us

because no one wanted to go

anywhere near the building.

But now we don't have to worry

about that thanks to you two.

[stifled chuckle]

[pained grunt]

Huh, what's wrong

with your face?

[Ganta] Uh, it's nothing.

Well, now all those

problems are settled.

Indeed.

[upbeat music]

[both] Thanks again.

[both laughing]

[wild laughter]

[Isaki] Hey!

I'm all finished!

So, we have permission

to use the roof?

Well, they did tell us

we have to

"properly engage in

Astronomy Club activities."

[ASTRONOMY CLUB]

We're going to use that notebook

to record our observations.

They said newbies should

start with the Moon.

[Isaki] The Moon? Why is that?

Apparently, it's the easiest

to find through a telescope,

and also 'cause Nurse

Kurashiki's a noob.

There are a lot of small

parts and accessories in here.

Let's see,

I should start with

Need any help?

Nah.

[parts clacking]

[Ganta] It's done.

[Isaki gasps]

[Isaki giggles]

You really do have a

knack for mechanical stuff.

Ah, this is just

basically a toy.

The real thing

is way more expensive.

That's why we're

starting with this one.

That must be the Moon.

I can't really get

it into focus

[Ganta gasps lightly]

Can I see?

[heads thud]

[both groaning]

[gentle music]

[Isaki] You can even

make out the craters.

[light giggle]

[Ganta] I didn't know

it was possible

to get such a clear view.

[Isaki gasps]

Huh?

If I end up on the Moon someday,

I'll wave down to you, okay?

Again with the ghost?

I know you made the

whole thing u-

[Ganta gasps]

[Isaki giggling]

Just being silly.

You're such a goofball.
