Dandelion (だんでらいおん)

I swear to you!

I won't drink a drop of booze until my squad hits our quota!

- - What incredible resolve.

-I'm tearing up already. - We'll hit the quota.

We're gonna make you proud, Captain!

- Yeah! - Huh?

Let's split up and check the spots where spirits are likely to appear.

For example,

a spot like…

-Let's just cover everywhere. - Yes, ma'am!

We'll scour this world from end to end!

No resting or chitchat!

-Let's fire up and move! - Yes, sir!

Huh? What the hell are you peeping at?

Hmm.

Relax. I was just thinking we should work together.

What do ya say?

Sorry, but we don't have the time to babysit another squad.

What's up Plum Squad?

- - Huh?

Keep talking if you wanna see what heaven's like.

Jeez, man, what the hell?

Aren't we supposed to help each other in tough times?

- Dah! Get outta my way! - We can't afford to fall behind!

- -You guys are all psychopaths!

Chief, did you see that?

I thought teamwork was Send-Off Department's motto!

All of our salaries are based on performance now.

Everyone's feeling the pressure lately.

Squads who perform poorly will not receive payment.

This is not good.

If a small-fry squad like us can't get any help, we're done for.

We've gotta find enough spirits somehow.

Tetsu!

- -You found one?

Look! I beat my own record!

Try doing some real work for once!

- -Hey, don't get yourself worked up, Tetsu.

You wanna watch this together?

Hmm?

- -

Ah!

Get him, Destino! Use your finisher!

Adrenaline!

Noradrenaline!

-Serotonin! Serotonin! Dopamine! - One! Two! Three!

- - Woo-hoo!

Man, is pro wrestling great or what?

They've got another match playing live tonight at the Kanrakuen.

-Do you wanna go? -

-I guess nothing changes you. -Hmm?

Eh. I guess I was just thinking.

Things have been tough here and in the world below.

- - Back in the day, it was simple.

Everyone's lives were hard.

And when they died, they passed straight to the afterlife with no regrets.

- -Things are so complicated now.

There are so many souls who keep moping around after they die.

And our captain, she can't help but get involved.

- -Says she can't just walk away.

I think that's a good thing.

In fact, that's what I kinda like about you guys.

Really? So you understand!

Man, it's good to have at least one friend!

Hmm.

Hey, what's going on?

Yeah? A spirit?

Got it. I'll be right there.

You found a spirit?

Yeah.

All right. Let's roll, pal!

-I'm afraid I can't do that. -Huh?

Uh… come on, we're buddies, right?

Being buddies is one thing. This is another.

You gotta be kidding me! Come on!

Don't take it personally. We're desperate to hit our quota too.

Okay. See you at Kanrakuen.

Like hell I'm going with you!

You good-for-nothing two-faced traitor!

Forget it. I'm done.

This is all such a pain in the ass.

Tetsu.

-Huh? -

The game isn't over until the moment you give up.

Yeah, and look who's talking.

-You can't even quit your video game. -

I can't deal with any of you today.

-Hmm? -

What's this?

A plushie?

- Oh, nice and squishy! -Oh?

- - Yeah, feels like a marshmallow.

Hey!

Handle me with a little more respect!

This thing just talked to us!

A talking plushie?

I am not a plushie. I am Navigation AI, Prototype Mini.

Huh?

Figures.

They told me you'd be stupid.

Excuse me?

I'll put it simply for you.

I'm a miniature prototype of an angel robot,

so you can call me Mini Proto, all right?

An angel robot!

How stylish!

Robot, hobbit, whatever the hell you are.

So what do you want?

I have been sent here to accompany lazy angels like you

and train you in the basics of helping spirits pass on.

Train us?

That's mighty big talk for a little white bun like you.

Ugh! How rude!

-Take that! Take that! -Come on, you can do it! Almost there.

- Take that! -

Why'd they make your arms short?

- Take that! -

- Fine, whatever. - Oh, it's sulking.

So you don't need my help then?

Nope. Don't need it. Off you go.

What a shame.

I came all this way to share some juicy spirit info.

Hold on! Spirit? Where is it? Tell me!

Oh! But I thought you didn't need my help, right?

No, no, we do. Of course we do.

You should've led with that. Now how about a head rub?

How's this?

Ah!

Stop playing with my body already!

You'll be following my orders. Understood?

It's nookie time! And I'm your Ryo Saeba!

-We're on like Aja Kong! -

Are we even allowed to say that?

-Anyway, locating the spirit. -

X-coordinate: 11,573 meters.

Y-coordinate: 22,694 meters.

-Heading north at six kilometers per hour. -

We're heading there right away.

Huh? What? Heading where?

You seriously can't read coordinates?

The rumor was right after all.

You're just an idiot in a suit.

- -

All right now, follow me!

Come on, pedal harder.

Why don't you pedal for once?

I'd do it once, but not right now.

Hey, you! It's not fair that you can fly!

Move it! We're losing daylight!

Damn it! Would you wait up?

Hmm. Should be around here.

There! I see him!

MU 97-03.

Tamesuke Naito.

Robot was spot-on.

That's very impressive.

Never underestimate the latest heavenly technology.

All right, we'll approach him from three sides.

Move quietly. Don't let him notice.

Once he's surrounded, we'll all…

W, w, w, w, wait!

Those idiots!

Huh?

-Who the hell are you guys? -Take it easy.

We don't mean you any harm.

Not at all. We'll be guiding you to the afterlife.

So just stay calm, and it'll be over quick.

Here's some friendly advice. Run while you can.

Oh!

You wanna fight?

Sounds fun.

- -

Tetsu! Are you all right?

Not a bad punch.

You must've been a pro boxer when you were alive.

But I've been hit harder than that.

Compared to Inoki's slap, this is noth…

Ding-ding-ding! Tanba is down!

Knockout!

Ow! Ow! That hurts!

I told you not to do anything on your own!

If you had followed my orders and worked efficiently,

that spirit would've passed on by now.

How am I supposed to move around if I have to plan out every detail?

Sorry. Not our style.

We act by feeling, not thinking.

You should be thinking your actions!

-If you just worked more efficiently-- -Come on.

-Save the lecture for when we're all done. -

We need to find that spirit first.

Yeah, let's go. That's the "efficient" way, right?
